COLOMBIA's REVOLUTION.

Battle at BarranquiIIa Results in a
Defeat of the Government Troops
Other Notes of Interest.
PANAMA, March 1.-The revolution in
Colombia is acquiring formidable proper
tiOns. In a battle at Barranquilla the
government troops were defe ated with a
loss of so killed, 200 wounded and 300
prisoners, including Gen. Urrueta, the
commander, and many officers. The
expedition was a complete failure, and
Carthagena, the base of the government
operations, is now besieged by 800 men
under the victorious Gen. Gaitar.
On Feb. %, in Carthagena, Capt. Curtis,
of the British man-Of-war Canada, while
going aboard his ship, was fred at by
government soldiers. The boat was rid
died with bullets and the Captain and
boats crew were wounded by flying
splinters, but sustained no direct injury
from the bullets. The British steamer
West Indian, which was in port at the
time, received shower of projectiles
from Remington guns.
Gen. Ruiz to-day seized the canal tug
GamrOck and took her to join the revolu.
tionists at Barranquilla. 1t is believed
that he will return with men and mate
rial to capture Colon and turn the State
over to the revOlutionists,
The battle of Honda, it is reported, was
favorable to the government. There was
much loss of life. The list of prisoners
includes the names of a half dozen lead
ers OF the expedition. Few details have
been received.
CamargO, a famous Colombian leader, is
at the head of the revolution, which is
solely protest against the dictatorship

The canal commission under NJ. Victor
de Lesseps occasions much anxiety to
the contractors, some of the most impor-
tant of whom have stopped work and
threaten to appeal to the tribunals.

REPUBLICAN SCHENIERs.
Attempt to Have COlOred People Ex

Attempt to Have COIOred People Ex.
cluded From the Inauguration Ball
W WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-There has
been a good deal of talk going on here
about the presence of colored people at
the inauguration ball, and many Demo-
Gratis, especially those from the South.
have thought that some means should be
taken whereby this could be prevented.
1t has been suggested that as the ball is
private affair and an invitation is neces-
sary to gain admittance, the tickets could
De gwen only To desirable parties. Trac-
ing good deal of this talk to its source
it is found to originate in certain meddIe-
some Republicans who, by working upon
the prtjudices of Democrats, hope to have
negroes excluded and public scandal
created at the beginning of the admins
tration. Some prominent Republicans
here begin to have fears that the negro
vote is not going to be so reliably Re-
publican as in the past, and that an effort
will be made by the incoming admins
tration to annex part of it, as many
cOlored Republican leaders have shown
signs of weakening. THIS has been so in
the case of Register Bruce.
An office or two, it is thought, would
bring over large number of negroes il
the North, who have been complaining
about being ignored by the Republican
party and threatening secession. A snuh
TO the colOred people at the ball would, il
is thought, put stop to this at the out
set, and no doubt the Republicans would
be nightly pleased to see one admins
tered. In one instance $500 was prom
ised by an eX-Republican leader to a Ger
tain party il the inaugural committee, or
somebody in authority, could be got to
sit down on tle negro attendance at the
hall

SHE WANTED FRESH AIR.
Woman Pronounced Insane Because
She Saw "Spirits.''

She Saw "Spirits''
CHICAGO, Feb. PA case possessing
considerable interest, as tending to show
under what circumstances a person hold
ing a belief in spiritualism is likely tn be
held on charge of insanity, is on Judge
Prendergast's docket in the County Court
here. The defendant is Mrs. Alice Schoen-
hoefer. The evidence so far submitted
shows that she has at times claimed to
see fire and smoke issue from the walls of
the room about her. Mrs. SchOenhOefer
is an American, 81 years old. The Jury
found her insane. but protests have been
put in by her attorney, Sydney Thomas,
and Mrs. Emma y. Henderson, on ac-
count of defendants ''eccentricites'' as
Spiritualist. The court wanted to
know of Mr.. Thomas if he could
tell how much was unreal that
a spiritualist could see, and he re-
piled, "Everything; but tnat is not proof
of insanity" Judge Prendergast then
turned the prisoner over into Mrs. Hen
derson's keeping until next Thursday,
when further evidence will be heard.
Mrs. Henderson said that Mrs. SchO-
enhOefer rented a room from DR..
Cooper in the Seaverns Block. 1t was a
very small room and not well ventilated
Mrs. ShoenhOeter had been cOOped up
there and became very nervous. There
were some spiritualists in the block who
had been reading some papers and PAM
phlets on spiritualism. The other day
these spiritualists were burning phospho-
rus and other chemicals, making prepar-
atiOns, as it is supposed, for materializa-
tion, and Mrs. SchOenhoefer smeIIed the
fumes, thought she saw a shadow on the
wall, and struck at it with a hatchet.
Thereupon DR.. Cooper had her taken in
charge on the ground that she was in
sane. Mrs. Henderson said that Mrs.
Schoenhoefer had great deal of magnet
ism, and absorbed it for others, but was
not spirltualist. All she needed was
fresh air

COL. Villas NOT CONFIDENT.

Without an Appointment

He Leaves Wisconsin for Washington
Without an Appointment.
MADISON, WIS, March 1.-Col. Villas
has obtained leave OF absence in the AS
sembly till March 8. He has gone to
Washington to attend the Inauguration
ceremonies. An intimate and confden-
tial friend of Col. Villas says that from the
first the Colonel has not had much hope
that place in the Cabinet would be
rendered to Wisconsin, which cast
her electoral vote for Blaine. For
week or two, however, he had some
faint glimmering of hope, gained
from frequent press reports that Mr..
Cleveland had inquired kindly concern
ing him in connection with his Cabinet,
but even this faint hope was abandoned
fortnight ago on private advices from
his Albany friends. The Colonel thinks
that Mr.. Cleveland completed
his Cabinet selections fully 10
days ago, subject to change
only in case of some unforeseen circum-
stance. He is of the opinion that if he were
to be called to take a portfolio, he would
before this have received oyertures from
Mr.. Cleveland, whereas not one line on
the subject has passed between them.

BLOOD ON THE MISSOURI MOON.
Prospects of Duel Between Gov. Mar
maduke and Mai Rainwater

Prospects of a Duel Between Gov. Mar
msduke and Maj. Rainwater.
ST.LOUIs, Feb. 27.-There are prospects
of duel between Gov. Marmaduke and
Maj. Rainwater. The latter is the most
prominent candidate on the Democratic
side for the office of Mayor of st. Louis,
and is just now in the heat of the canvass.
The other day Marmaduke was inter-
viewed by reporter, and was credited
with using language concerning Ram
water unfit for publication, and while
claiming that Rainwater had violated GER
tain trusts, also called him all manner of
names. In reply Rainwater has written
a letter to Marmaduke which closes with
these words:
des re to relieve ou from any embarrass-
ment the recollectioas of former intimacy
and friendship may impose upon you, and to
invite you as pupllc official whose duty it is
to protect aud guard the common welfare of
our citizens to divulge any secrets you may
possess and proclaim any charges you may
have which can affect my character as an
honest man and gentleman. Your position as
Governor viii entitle YOUR statements to high
consideration and will afford you an oppor-
tunlty to do public duty and, at the same
time punish an enemy, but l warn you to
stick to the truth. Although but an humble
citizen, you cannot successfully assal my
private character with falsehoOd or i'm
punity.
The trouble between these two gentle
men dates back to 1873, up to which time
they were warm friends. Its inception
was very frivolous matter, but two or
three circumstances occurred to intensi-
fly the feeling. Gen. Marmaduke has on
several occasions during the past ten
years made some very ugly remarks about
the Major and it Is very credibly reported
that while the latter did not retOrt in kind
he did halt Gen. Marmaduke on one Occa-
sion in the presence of several gentlemen.
and after calling attention TO Gen. Mar
maduke's ISLANDERS, told him that if there
was any form OF satisfaction which Gen.
Marmaduke deemed necessary to make
amends for any grievance that he had
sustained, that satisfaction would be
given him at any time or place that Gen.
Marmaduke chose t. name. The hone
was expressed in the same connection
that if Gen. Marin aduke did not see fl to
avail himself Of this fact he would at least
control his tongue thereafter.
Gen. Marmaduke retOrted hOtly, but
nothing came of that meeting. The pre-
sent controversy, however, it is thought,
Will only end on the field of honor and
that Marmaduke Will fight there is no
doubt, for he has already figured in a
duel. HIS opponent was Gen. Walker,
whom he killed. This duel rose out of an
engagement which took place between
Confederate and Union forces in Arkan-
sas, In the heat of the battle Gen.
Marmaduke charged Gen. Walker with
an act of insubOrdination. This resulted
in challenge from Gen. Walker. The
duel was fought Immediately after the
battle. Gov. Marmaduke will come to
the city tomorrow evening and then a
meeting of some kind between him and
RainWater is looked for

HIS GRAVE KEPT SECRET.
A Pennsylvania Family Hold Funeral

Pennsylvania Family Hold Funeral
Services but do not Inter the Corpse.
MOUNT JOY, Pa, Feb. 27.-Isaac Shiry,
rich farmer, living near here, died re-
Gently after being thrown from a wagon.
The sexton of Mount Joy Cemetery was
ordered to dig grave. The coffin was
made, the funeral announced and the SER
vices held in the Lutheran church. Then
it was that the sexton received word that
the interment would not take place. EThe
cOftined remains were taken back to the
house, and the people wondered what the
sudden change OF programme meant.
The grave was ordered to be filled up, and
no one appeared to know anything OF the
interment, although 1t is asserted that
the coffin is not at the farmhouse. Some
say that the remains were quietly crema-
ted, while others believe that the burial
took place in another town, the cOffiL
having been removed at midnight. The
latter theory is more generally believed,
as the family had sad experience some
time ago. The body of one of their near
relatives was stolen from the grave and
never afterward recovered. Their idea
now is to keep the burial place of the de-
