Returning Home.

The members of the cabinet left on their
special train over the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad to return to Washington ate o'clock,
departing almost Immediately upon their
return from the cemetery. The senate and
house committees, accompanied by the SUI
preme court justices, left at the same hour
| in their special over the Pennsylvania road.
| Special trains left this city over all the
roads early in the evening, carrying away
the greater portion of the visitors. A close
railway estimate shows that 80, 1000 people
arrived in the city within the twelve hours
preceding the funeral, which taxed the
capacity of the hotels beyond their natural
capacity. The failure of President Cleve-
land to attend the ODsequies was subject
of comment among many of those attend
ing from abroad, and the impression ap-
pears to have gained ground that he might
possibly attend, Notwithstanding the pub
Iished announcement that he would not be
able to do so. There was rumor that
he had actually accompanied the
cabinet ministers, which found its
way into print. but it was
found to be without foundation. If there
was any general sentiment expressed con-
cerning the absence of the president, it was
that his coming would have divested the
| element of unsafety about the person OF the
president, the thought of which should now
not be harbored in the minds of the people.
When the arrangements for the interment
were being perfected it was suggested that
military guard should be placed at the
tomb, at least for time. The directors OF
Crown Hill cemetery declared that this
would be needless, and their watchmen
were efficient against any possible van
dalism. This view was also taken by the
family and no special guard was placed over
the grave. The death Of Vice President
Hendricks leaves his widow in one sense
entirely alone, so far as the possession and
keeping up of the homestead in this city is
involved. 1t is presumed, however, that
she will for time make her home with the
family of G. NJ. Morgan, her brother, also
resident here, who has been close to her
in her present great bereavement.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-Messrs. Cannon
and Hopkins of Illinois are enthusiastic
over Logan's prospects for the presidency
of the senate MI. Cannon favors an
amendment of the rules of the house, but
says the division of the appropriation bills
will not accomplish the desired object. The
appropriations committee has too much
power and all others too little. The rules
should be amended so as to prevent any
new legislation from being attached to ap-
preparation bills and to enable the house
to call before it any bill from any committee
by a majority vote. The defects in
the present rules, he says, are mistakes
that were made in the face of the opposition
and the warnings of Garfield, Kasson and
other prominent Republicans. Representa-
tive Hatch of Missouri says he has always
favored the distribution of some OF the ap-
preparation bills, and thinks the time has
come when the change must be made. AS
to the silver question, he says he is as
earnest an advocate of silver as Bland him
self. He thinks the people will not tolerate
any legislation against silver. Any reason
able recommendation made by Mr.. Cleve-
land, he says, would be considered respect
fully, but the most that the silver men
would agree to would be reduction
of the minimum of silver dollars
that may be coined in month.

An Alarmed Fisherman.

One morning, after eight days of
steaming up the Kiva, Stanley, the
African explorer, discovered that the
river was the outlet of a large lake,
which, subsequently,, he named Lake
Leopold H., after the king of Belgium
Acting upon the rule, never to aban-
don a good thing until you have seen
it through, lest you never havethe op-
portunity again, he resolved to cir
cumnavigate it. Seeing haf-a-dozen
fishermen's canoes out on the lake, he
bore down upon them, hoping to gain
information and fresh food. All save
one canoe, as soon as the fishermen
heard and saw the noisy steamer, fled
The occupant of the remaining canoe
was hauling in his seine,. when he, too,
heard the noise of the paddle-wheels
He fell sidewise into his canoe, as, if
paralyzed. Then leaping to his feet,
and bending to his paddles, he sent
the tiny canoe swiftly over the water:
Says Stanley, describing the capture:
He observes the monster rapidly
gaining on him. He hears the whirl of
the wheels, and the throbbing of the
engine, and putting of the steam.
Another glance, and he springs over
board, and we sweep past the empty
canoe.
AS we came up he dived, and our
two sailors flashed into the depths
after him. They brought him up, each
holding an arm, and swan with him
to the boat.
''Now, Ankoli, speak softly to the
poorman."
In soothing whispers the native guide
asked what his name was.
''What did you pick me out for?'
the fisherman asked. "There are many
better than l in our village"
':What does he mean, Ankoli?"
"He means," answered the guide,
"that there are finer slaves than he is
in the village"
''Ah! There have been slave-catchers
here, them"
Having evidently obtained all the
information the poor fellow could give,
we filled his two hands with bright
beads, and laid dozen handkerchiefs
by his side. Then bringing the canoe
alongside, we asked him to step in, ,and
placed his cloth in the stern of it, with
small parcel of cowries.
After he had stepped in, he did not
seem to realize that he was a free and
rich man until there was such a dis
tance between us that he thought it
impossible for us to catch him again.
When he seemed a speck in the lake,
we saw the figure rise to it's height, and
then we knew that he was conscious
that he was free.

The Princess of Wales Snubs Mrs.
Langtry.

A London dispatch to the Boston
Herald says: The society journals de-
nounces the Lonsdale- -Chetwynd fight
IN the most unequivocal terms, and
Lord Lonsdale,w who is a brother of the
dissipated character who was the first
husband of Mrs. Langtry's friend,
Lady de Grey GLADYS Lady Lonsdale),
is generally condemned.
AS for Mrs. Langtry, she was sub
jected three days later to the greatest
slight that could be inflicted upon
woman in her position, a deliberate cut
from the Princess of Wales, who is not
the plastic doll in the Princes hands
that some people imagine. This epi-
sode occurred at the Coombe House,
where Lady Archibald Campbell and
her pastoral players were giving their
last performance of ''The Faithfulle
Shepherdesse" The Prince of Wales
entered into conversation with Mrs.
Langtry, who dropped the usual quaint
courtesy with which royalty is receiv-
ed; the Princess OF Wales had turned
her back and was talking to some
one else.
A hundred eyes watched the group.
1t has often been said, and not unjust
ly, that the Prince of Wales is remark
able for his tact, but even the most
distinguished social warriors some
times lose their heads where pretty
woman's interests are concerned, and
at this moment if any Mrs. Langtry
needed the consolation of royal favor.
The Prince plucked the Princess by
the sleeve, after saying to Mrs. Lang
try in quite a loud voice, "Oh, the
Princess would like to tell you" The
Princess turned around, surveyed Mrs.
Langtry quite as though she did not
see her, gave SO light bow that the
inclination of the head was almost i'm
perceptible, and then deliberately
turned her back and resumed her con-
versation with her friend. 1t was the
hottest day of the season, but the
thermometer seemed to drop hun
dred degrees; the Prince looked ex-
qu1sitely foolish. Mrs. Langtry's con-
fusion was painful to behold, and the
social axe had fallen! But this new
scandal may help the Lily IS theatrical
interests, which have of late begun to
languish.

EIODement Sensation.

A Lowell, Mass, telegram to the
New York Herald says: Lowell has
the biggest sensation Of the season on
it's own hands just at present. A GER
tain young married lady, enc of the.
bellies of the city, and wife of one of
the wealthiest and most prominent
citizens, has eloped with a travelling
agent. The circumstances are the
talk of the town, but the names are
only whispered. The lady was prom
inent in society ard in charitable and
religious work, and was an officer of q
club formed exclusively of the ladies of
the city. The husband is member of
one of the Massachusetts yacht clubs,
and with his wife, has attended this
season most of the cruisers in eastern
waters. They have travelled together
through Europe and extensively in
this country. Recently, sit is said, :"
that they have disagreed in a number
of matters, and, although residing in
the same house on the most fashion
able street in the city, have spoken to
each other only when in general socie-
ty and when such conversation be-
came necessary to prevent gossip.
A few days ago the wife made a visit
to Lexington, and there met herlover,
and since then has not been seen or
heard of by her husband. 1t is said
that he viii make no great effort to
learn her whereabouts or induce her
to return.

Gen. Putnam's Neglected Grave


Fpom the Norwich (Conn-) Bulletin. @
Probably tfeonething which is most
prominently associated with the name
of Israel Putnam in the popular mind
is his celebrated feat of daring up in
the beautiful town of Pomflet, where,
a century ago, he killed in her den O.
she wolf which had been depredating
upon the surrounding country. But
this Revolutionary hero's fame does
not depend upon this sing1eand abnor-
mally magnified incident of his career,
and there Is considerable ground for
the indignant complaints which are
publicly made about the neglect Of his
grave in the old cemetery in the neigh
boring town of Brooklyn. The spot
of his burial is marked by marble
slab lying fiat on q heap of stones and
badly Clipped by relic hunters. 1t
seems strange that in these days OF
monuments suitable one has not
been erected to commemorate the vlr-
tues of him who distinguished himself
In the French war; who was captured
and nearly roasted alive by Indians
in 1758, who was conspicuous for hlS
bravery in the cause of liberty at the
Battle of Bunker Hill, who became q
Malor-General in 1775, who was ap-.
pointed commander of the Army OF
the Highlands in New York In l777,
who superintended the erection of the
Notifications at West Point, and who,
while the command i'll Connecticut,
displayed his bravery and intrepidlty,
in various perils of his time. -ts

A movement is on foot to erect a

Bend, o. tits on anatural mound in
the midst of pasture lot, and it over

board fence, enclosing a space fifty feet
square, separates the burial place from

The tomb itself is structure of brick,
all under ground except the gables, and
it is covered with a roof of shingles,
that are now dilapidated and rotten.
Even the brick walls that show above
the ground are covered with a green
mould. A sloping cellar door covers

and even these doors of iron, exposed

are eaten through with rust.

AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

The Pinkerton Detective Service UnraveE
the Mystery Surrounding the Setting of
the Cleveland Lumber-Yard Ffres-A
Dangerous Fluid.
CLEVELAND, o., February AT the
ago, it was generally believed that an or
gained attempt was being made by some
body to burn the town, but no cleW could
be found to unravel the mystery. The
Cleveland police being weak or inefficient,
the Board of Trade took steps on it's own
account and what it discovered is not yet
even known to the Cleveland police or
public.
The Board set aside 5000 for the pur-
pose of finding the guilty parties. A
Pinkerton Captain was brought from
Chicago at $25 per day, and brought six
detectives, who worked here for some
weeks without being discovered by the
Cleveland police. One of them was at
one time under arrest on suspicion, and
some trouble was had in getting him clear
without confession as to who he was.
The similarity of all the fires suggested
certain things, and man who was dis
covered to be in town, and who was
known to be connected with Chicago
Socialists, was shadowed for a long
time. He was at last seen to go into q
drug store and write out prescrip-
ton. which was filed The detec-
tiYes secured it, and had
it again made up, the result being a color
less mixture. This was applied to door
panel and also to paper. 1t left no stain,
but III half an hour began to blaze. This
suggested the methods of the man, who
could easily sprinkle his liquid over heap
of rubbish or pile of lumber, and be two
miles away before the fire would break
out.
The man was closely watched, with the
expectation of catching him in the act,
but he in some way took alarm and left
the city. The Pinkerton men have his
description and and undoubtedly have
him under supervision wherever he is.
A boy who was seen with him and who
was caught setting fire to a Cannotton
Railroad car, was placed in jail, and de-
tective lodged with him as fellow pris-
oner but could get no confession out Of
him.
One of the Pinkerton force also joined
a Socialists Lodge on the West Side,
but nothing was discovered that would
warrant any arrests. After the sus-
pected man left the town the incendiary
fires ceased, but not until several mill
lion dollars, worth of property had been
destroyed.

O'Donovan Rossa's Assailant Talks About
Herself-Her Loves and Her Hates.
New YORK, February 5.-Mrs. Dudley
conversed sparingly with the many re-
porters who visited her at the Tombs yes
terday. She denied the statements tele-
grsphed about her from London, and said
this was case of mistaken identity. She
had never been inside an English prison.
She evaded direct answer to the ques-
ton whether she ever tried to kill herself.
As to hating the Irish, it was false. She
admired many noble Irishmen, for in
stance, O'Donnell. She hated informers
like Carey and murderers like Rosa.
Her mother was an IrishWoman, and she
loved Ireland as well as England.
Mrs. Dudley sent letter to Rossa's
lieutenant, Patrick Joyce, yesterday, in
viting him to come and interview her and
be convinced that she was not the English
spy he charged her with being. The prison
officials would see she did not harm him.
Joyce replied he doubted the propriety of
speaking with her at present. Rosa de-
MES that he begged Mrs. Dudley not to
shoot him the second time. He says he
was stunned and did not say anything; he
did not realize what had happened until
the shots had all been fired, and the wom-
an had walked away. The surgeon says

pital was not made on account of Rossa'S

ROLLER SKATING.

The Popular Exercise Said to BE at Vari~

NEW YORK, February 4.-Rev. John
Parker, of the Methodist Church in
Jamaica, is opposed to roller skating-
According to Mr.. Parker roller skating
has been hindrance to revival work
in his church. Mr.. Parker recently
wrote to DR.. N. K bennett, of Brook
Ign, asking his opinion of roller skating
from professional standpoint. DR.. Dem
nett wrote as follows:
81 consider that the practice, physi-
ologically, is pernicious one. It's effect
upon boys is bad enough, but upon girls
it is much worse. It destroys muscular
balance, strains unduly the parts chiefly
exercised, locates weakness at vital
points, and prepares the way for a great
amount of suffering and Indebtedness.
4 the craze should continue for any con-
siderable length of time the facts which
| have named will be verified in the ex-
perience of many a young lady,"
Rev. Mr.. Parker read DR.. Dement'S
letter to the young people in his church,
and hopes it will keep them away from
