An Emlgrant who Forgot His Family.

Marco Athanaisaide left his wife, Eudexia
Stamboulia, and two young children at theii
home in Turkey twelve years ago and came
to this country, promising to send for his
family in few months. He went to San
Francisco and in few years became 9
wealthy confectioner, but forgot that he had
a family. Eudexia and her two grown uI
sons arrived at Castle Garden three weeks
ago, and thinking that San Francisco was
only across the North river hoped her del in
quent husband would meet her. Telegram
were sent to him and he refused to recognize
his family. Then they were sent by the
commissioners of emigration to San Fran
cisco, and the latest information is that
Marco has fallen into the lawyers hand and
is likely TO be squeezed as dry as one Of his
own lemons

IT now turns out that the opposition to
the underground wires at the present time
comes from the fear that in buryiDg the wires
this coming summer, fatal outbreak of
cholera will be precipitated. 1t is passing
strange that the public did not stumble on
this reason sooner, and that its ignorance re-
garding this particular phase of the situation
had to be dispelled by such a benevolent citi-
zen as Cyrus w. Field. The fact that Mr..
Field has been long accustomed to borrow
the livery philanthropy to serve monopoly
will give his opinions an opposite weight
from that which he may have intended.

The Examiner modesty inquiries why it
is that in the Philadelphia conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church," the local
churches are so much "mixed )" and the
districts are not made to conform to the civil
divisions of counties. Easily answered.
Until within few years ago the districts
were arranged upon the plan that naturally
suggests itself TO the Examiner. But the
country preachers found themselves rotated
around in the country, and the city preachers
only exchanged the more desirable pulpits
with each other The rural clergy broke
down the bars some years ago and connected
suburban and country territory in the differ
erent districts. If the Examiner will closely
study the Methodist conference 1t will find
what Bishop Foss told the brethren the other
day, that there is considerable politics in it.

Another Stage Attraction.

Some of the San Francisco milliOnaires
have the reputation of being rather gay
old bald-heads. Little things which have
found their way into the public prints
justify the conclusion that this reputation
rests upon pretty solid foundation.
One Of these millionaires is ex-senator
Sharon. For a couple of years Sharon has
been the defendant in a divorce suit, the
plaintiff being Sarah Althea Hill. 1t was
the most sensational divorce suit that was
ever tried in this country-perhaps in any
country. The plaintiff claimed to have
been married to Sharon, which allegation
Sharon denied. She sued for divorce
and a big slice Of SharOn's estate. The
lower court held that she had been mar
ried to Sharon, and granted her a divorce
and very large amount alimony. The
case is now in higher court on an ap-
peal. The indications are that Sharon.
having unlimited means, will finally de-
feat the suit.
In the meantime Sarah Althea Hill, or
Mrs. William Sharon, as she calls her
self, is in want of money to meet her
necessary expenses, and she has de-
termined TO earn it ON the stage.
She has had the celebrated divorce suit
dramatized, and she has prepared her
self to play the leading female role. she
intends to have herself advertised as Mrs.
William Sharon, and expects, and doubt
less viii, create sensation. The whole
country is familiar with the curious
phases Of the divorce suit in which she
figured so prominently, and great many
people Will pay something to see her. She
is rather pretty and very smart. she pro-
poses to travel in a special car, something
after the style of Mrs. Langtry. AS a
curiosity, she will doubtless prove to be a
paying attraction.

How Gordon Pasha Was Killed

From, the London telegraph.
The War Office has forwarded TO us the sub
Joined copy of the confidential report
made by Maj. III. Ii. Kitchener on the fall of
KhartOum:
''The only account of a person claiming to
be an eye witness of the scene of Gen. Cor
don's death relates: 'On hearing the noise, |
the palace. We met Gordon Pasha at the
outer door OF the palace. Muhammed BeY
Mustapha, with my master, Ibraham Bey
Rushdi, and about twenty caVasses, then
went with Gordon toward the house of the
Austrian Consul Hansel, near the church,
when we met some rebels near the outer gate
OF the palace. Gordon Pasha was walking IN
front, leading the party. The rebels fred
yOlley, and Gordon was killed at once. Nine
OF the cavasses, Ibraham Bey Rushdi. and
Muhammsd Bey Mustapha were killed, the
rest ran away
"A large number Of witnesses state that Cor
don was killed near the gate OF the palace,
and various accounts have been related from
hearsay Of the exact manner IN which he met
his end. Several reliable witnesses saw and
recognized GOrdOn's body at the gate OF the
pa'ace; one describes it as being dressed IN
light clothes. The Soudan custom of behead-
slain In battle was, apparently, carried out,
as was done by the Mudlr of Dongola after
the battle at korti.
1.-THE Bagara savages seem to have had some
doubt which was GOrdOn's body and great
confusion occurred in the Mahdi's camp at
Omdurman, where the heads were exposed as
to which was GOrdOn's head, some recoeniz
ing, others denying the identity OF Gordon's
head. Ono apparently reliable witness re-
lates that he saw the rebels cut of Gordon's
head az the palace gate after the town was in
their hands,

Miss Maud Howe's Tastes.

Letter to he San FrdnciSc0 Ar0ondWt.
The genuine Newport belle, for she has lived
there since she was q child. is Maud Howe, a
daughter of Julia Ward Howe, and who,
though verging on 30, is still quite as beauti-
full as when she sat for the portrait now in the
CorcOran gallery at Washington, which at
tracted so much attention when it was eXhib-
tied at the Royal Academy. She is a striking
looking woman, with an "eXquisitely turned
jaw, perfect nees, and an artistic head
round which she binds wreath Of ivy, in the
style of the winner of the Oympian games.
She is a lady Of caprices. At present aesthetic
garments are her fad, and she attires herself
in limp, loose gowns of dull faded colors
which cling about her in q way that would
have charmed Rossetti. Dogs are, with her,
another mama. At one time she ordered all
her admir- r to cease giving her candies and
flowers, and substitute dogs. AS her lovers
were many, she soon had a menagere that
murdered sleep by bowling all night after the
manner of their Kind.

The Administration Correspond
euCe

enCe.
The correspondence between Gen. E.
Alexander and DR.. FELTON, is attracting
some little attention, more perhaps because
they are very well known in Georgia than
because Of anything of special Importance
in what their letters contain. The CORE
spOndence grew out of statements which
DR.. FELTON, made in his speech in the Leg
islature against the railroad bill. He
stated that Gen. Alexander was president
of an institution called the Railway
Shareholders Association; that he was
the largest shareholder in the w estern and
Atlantic railway, and that he attempted
to bribe a portion of the Legislature of
Georgia.
Gen. Alexander denied all these charges
in a letter TO DR.. FELTON,, and asked him
to VT hdraw them. He called particular
attention to the fact that when the publi-
cation was first made that he was Presi-
dent OF the. Railway Shareholders Asso-
citation he published a card denying that
he had any connection with it.
There are reasons for thinking that
there never was any such an institution
as the Railway Shareholders Associa-
ton. There was some pretense that there
was and railroads were asked to contrib
ute TO its support. President Raoul, of
the Central railroad, got several letters
asking subscriptions, loans, ETC., but he
did not return favorable answer to any
ofthem. He probably regarded the alleged
association as a fraud.
Or. FELTON,, in long letter in answer
TO Gen. Alexander's letter, gives the rea-
sons why he mentioned Gen. Alexander's
name in connection with the association,
and these reasons, the doctor claims,
were sufficient to justify him in the course
he pursued. However strong the reasons
may have appeared there is no question
that Gen. Alexander never had any CON
nection with the association.
In his letter to DIR. FELTON, Gen. Alexan-
der denies that he ever had any interest
worth noticing IN the Western and Allan
tic railroad, and expresses willingness
TO turn what little he has over to
DR.. FELTON, at much less than
cost. In his reply DIR. FELTON, pre-
sents some figures which seem 20 indicate
that Gen. Alexander has been getting
about 100000 year out Of his interest.
Apparently DIR. FELTON, has the best OF the
controversy on this point, but only ap-
parently, because there can be no doubt
but that Gen. Alexander can, and will,
explain away DR.. Felton's figures. Gen.
Alexander says that he hasn't received
any dividends in the last two years. He
wouldn't have made that statement II he
had. DIR. FELTON, is doubtless sincere, but
ne has failed to get at the facts.
