FOUND DEAD IN A HUT.
A hoy Guards mr.. Lehman. BOd,-A M,,.

tffy.
baltimore Americana
Three men raped at the hut-door OF
William Lehman, near the old glass
house grounds, on Deals Shore, yes
terday afternoon, and were puzzled be-
cause they could not get in. They
raped repeatedly, and with increased
vigor at each rap, but no response
came. Looking through the window
they saw the body of Lehman lying
stretched upon the bed. Forcing the
door, they entered and made startling
discovery. Upon the bed lay the
dead body of Lehman, and near him
sat his faithful dog. The men at
tempted TO approach the body to examine
it, when the angry growls of the dog
gave warning to keep back. The men,
persisting in their advances, were con-
fronted by the enraged dog, who, not
knowing their mis- sion, stood upon the
dead body of his master and showed his
teeth. Persuasion, however, overcame
the dog, and, winning his confidence,
the men came near the body. From its
appearance Lehman must have been
dead two days. In his hat, which lay
upon the floor, was found a lot of clothed
blood. The men, after making the dis
covery, notified the county police. and
Constable Emerich took charge of the
remains. A jury was summoned, and
an inquest will be held to-day. When
last seen alive Lehman was in the
Lexington market. This was on
Friday last. Lehman was Ger
man. about fifty years old, and was
employed as Waterman at Popplein's
yards. He was a flower-pot maker by
trade. Lehman had the reputation of
being very saving and industrious, and
was thought to have accumulated lit
tie money. He lived all alone in his
little hut, enjoying only the companion
ship of his dog. The hut stands in a
gloomy spot, near the edge of the river,
and can boast of only one story. 1t is
thought that somebody familiar with
the habits Of Lehman entered the cabin,
attacked him, and, after knocking him
senseless. secured his money. Being
scared by the dog, they made off, with
out finishing their work. The accepted
theory in the neighborhood is that Leh-
man was murdered for his money.
From the position Of the hat on the floor
Lehman must nave recovered after the
robbers left. and being too weak to
walk, fell oil the bed. Officers searched
the house yesterday, but could find no
money.

A Caldwell (Kan.) telegram OF the
Goth says: The latest advices from the
scat Of the operations in Oklahoma con.
firm the surrender Of Captain Couch and
party al Saltwater camp. Couriers ar
irving to-day state that after number
Of conferences between General Hatch
and Captain Couch the latter made no
concessions on his threat at the start to
fight it out. The night previous to the
surrender the General moved some oil
his forces so as to partially invest the
camp of the boomers. This was done
quietly and without hostile dcmonstra-
tons. The next morning line OF blue
coats was observed by the settlers IN
close proximity, and about $ o'clock
formal and peremptory demand was
made upon Captain Couch and party to
surrender. Every one Of General
Hatch's soldiers was at his post fully
armed. ready for any command that
might be given.
The boomers, taking in the surround
ings at a glance, saw that discretion
was the better part of valor, and quiet
ly yielded to the inevitable. After an
understanding was had and the surren-
der acknowledged the troops and
boomers met personally as friends, and
preparations were at once begun for
march to the Kansas line. If the
weather proves less stormy than 1t was
for several days before the surrender
every effort will he made to make an
expeditions march out of the Territory,
in order to take advantage of the ice
bridges over Salt Fork, some fifty miles
south of the Kansas line. The defeated
colonists feel very bitter over the situa-
ton, though there is no i'll feeling to-
ward the soldiers. They express great
snimosity toward the Administration,
saying they are determined to make
Judgment on the disputed ground, and
intimate they will try the temper of the
incoming Administration, with some
hope as to the outcome.
Throughout southern Kansas there
appeared to be an idea prevalent among
the sympathizers of the boomers that
Captain Couch submitted as plan to
gain time until spring opens.

Jails Ina Russia.

One of the worst things about Russia
is the extent to which it has Outgrown
its jailS, which are most inadequate to
the needs of its increasing population.
In spite of the annual expenditure of
el13,600 for repairs and the building
Of new jailS, the Administration is much
exercised how to find room for the ever
growing number Of prisoners, who
amounted in 1882 to 95, 500 and in
1883 to.97 1887. In Siberia especially
great suffering is caused by the want Of
accommodation for the 10000 convicts
distributed over the mining districts,
especially as the enormous number Of
exiles, forming what the Noroe premy0
calls an organized vagabondage, :"
crowd the houses of correction in every
part Of the country. The Noroe
Iremyo is Of opinion chat it would be
a good plan if those authorities of dis
tricts who send the scum of their popu-
lation into exile should be compelled to
find subsistence for them during the
first two years. The RecidiyiSt plan
has undoubtedly broken down badly in
Siberia.

snts In xesTDs'eses.
A London special says The crew Of
the British bark Wellington mutinied
and killed the captain and severely
wounded the mate. The captain and
mate. In defending themselves, wounded
three Of the crew. The mutineers, be-
mig short Of hands TO manage the ship,
and the sea being very rough. to avoid
having the vessel wrecked, signallcd
passing steamer and were towcd into
Plymouth, where the mutineers were
placed under arrest. The vessel left
Hsvfe January 2lst for New York,
Under command Of Captain Armstrong.
When the vessel was brought in her
name was painted out. The mutiny
occurred on Monday of the Sicily
Islands. Three Of the seamen were
seriously hurt by pistol-shots. The
captains body was found on board
when the vessel reached Plymouth.
The mate brought the bark in.
Later particulars concerning the mu-
tiny rs given by the crew are as fol-
lows: Captain Armstrong had been
drinking for several days before he left
port. and when he got TO sea he in-
creased his libations until they brought
ON an attack Of deliriuna tremens. This
eliminated on the 25th instant, when
the vessel was 400 miles west Of the
Sicily islands, in n spirit Of ferocity
which impelled It's victim to imagine GER
tain members Of the crew to be in mu-
tiny. On that day he had the boat
swain, the carpenter, and the steward
put an irons for four hours for some
imaginary offence. The next day
he assaulted the carpenter, and plac-
ing revolver at his throat, fired.
Owing to Captain Armstrong; UNI
steadiness the bullet missed its
mark and wounded a seaman. The
captain, evidently maddened by this
failure, swore he would shoot every
man aboard, and began to flourish the
revolver. The crew closed in upon him
to disarm him. lie struggled despe-
rately. and was thrown down with such
violence that his skull was fractured,
and he died four hours alterward. The
crew consisted of sixteen men. They
were compelled to throw overheard all
the spirits in the ship to prevent the
captain from drinking. The latter fired
recklessly about the ship, while the
crew hurled missiles at him in their en-
deavor to stop his shooting. He was
finally captured by the crew making a
sudden rush and closing in on him.
The story of the mutiny, as told by
the imprisoned sailors, is as follows:
"Captain Armstrong got drunk last
Monday. and with a loaded revolver in
his hand chased the crew around the
decks until they took refuge in the rig
giDg. The captain ordered them back
TO the deck, but being afraid of his pis-
tol, they refused TO obey and climbed
further aloft. Captain Armstrong be-
gan shooting unfortunately at the men
in the rigging and severely wounded
three Of them. Then the remainder of
the crew, acting together and in self
defence. returned to the deck, sur
rounded the captain, beat him sense
less, and put him in irons. He died
soon after the fight. The three sailors
whom he shot are in dying condi-
ti0n."

Man Killed and an lndiscrininate Row.
A Jacksonville fla telegram says
Lavilla is a populous suburb of Jack
sonyille with scarcely dividing line be-
tween the two. The suburb has very
large negro population, and the whites
are in a hopeless minority. For ten
years Lavilla has been noted for the
turbulence Of its local politics and the
riotous demonstrations attending Its
corporate conventions. On Tuesday
night the citizens met to nominate a
municipal ticket for the ensuing year.
A negro presided over the convention,
and the large majority of those present
were nee roes. The meeting was a stormy
one. When the time for nominations
came twenty sable statesmen were on

and a pistol fired. This temporarily

business was resumed. On given mo-

house and never spoke again. lie

that followed three men were dan

terrible interruptions aconsiderable por-

A Washington special says : Secre-

shape Of an endorsement on a letter OF
Major Greedy. directing that no names
of persons shall be placed on the maps of
the discoveries made by that officer and
his men in the Arctic except of the mem-
bers of the expedition. Since writing
the order the Secretary has made two
concessions for the retention of names
heretofore assigned by Major Greedy.
these being with reference to the names
of Mrs. Greedy and Mary Murray
Lockwood. the favorite sister Of Lieu
tenant Lockwood. 1t appears that Ma
jor Greedy gave names on his rough
charts to headlands, capes, mountains,
bays. fiords, and glaciers, and among the
names were those of army friends, in
Guiding Colonel Richard Irving Dodge,

others. The name Of Captain Howgate
