WASHINGTON, JAM 15.-The meeting of
the house naval affairs committee took a
sensational turn to-day. The BOutelle res
olutiOn, inquiring about the dismissal of ex-
Union soldiers and sailors from the Norfolk
navy yards and the appointment OF ex-Con-
federates in their places. and as 10 the state
ment that certain inscriptions cOmmemOra-
tive of victories over the Confederates have
been defaced, was called up and led to
heated political discussion. Mr.. Wise of
Virginia made speech denOuncing the res
olutiOn and impugning the motives of its
movers. He inSinuated that the resolution
was introduced from desire TO make party
capital, and expressed the opinion that it
should be amended so as to allow a general
investigation into the conduct of the navy
yards. He urged that mere newspaper re-
port was the sole foundation for the pro-
posed inquiry, and that it was not becom-
ing the dignity OF congress to heed such
stories. Mr.. BOutelle defended the resOlu-
ton He said he had been assured By a
brother member that the publication was
substantially correct. He wanted the mat
ter investigated. Mr.. Thomas pointed ont
that the resolution was not for an investi-
CATION. Ii was a simple inquiry, and if
the story was without foundation the navy
department could easily

that assumption, but said that in the case
under consideration it was a question not
of politics, but whether the statute giving
preference 10 Union soldiers had been viO-
lated. He wanted TO know whether Union
soldiers had been discharged to make place
for rebel soldiers. and whether the memo

If the gentlemen would have erected a Con-

that he would have it pulled down. For

BALTIMORE, JAN, 15.-The Sun win

St. Louis, Mo-, Jan. I2.-To Rev. George

ceived your letter of the 1th, with newspaper
inclosed. OF course / have read carefully
the first volume of Gen. Grants Memoirs and
regard il as admirable in every sense, and
now await the second volume, which doubt
not will be equally valuable and interesting.
From the day reported TO him from Padueah
till his death our relations were as brothers
rather than as commander and command ed,
and it is utterly impossible that l could have
written the words as quoted in the Decem-
ber number of the North American Review.
1 have very large correspondence and con-
verse freely with thousands OF people and it
is natural that we often speculate what might
have been had Gen. Grant gone 10 the rear
and @. F. Smith fought the battle of Shiloh;
what might have been had Washington ao-
cepted his warrant in the English navy, etc.,
but that / could have written the positive ex-
preston that Had G. +. Smith lived Gen.
Grant would have disappeared from history"
is an impossibility. Personally 1 want To
live in peace and avoid all controversy, buk
1 am confident in good time We
shall learn on what authority or
hearsay this publication is based

public utterance about Gen. Grant when I
announced his death TO his old comrades OF
the Army of the Tennessee. 1 don't believe
any man, living or dead. has borne more will

pecially as demonstrated at Henry, Douneb
son, Shiloh and Nicksburg than myself.
Yours truly, w. 7. SHERMAN.

Strikers Fight.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-This morning seri-
Gus riot occurred at Halstead and Green
streets between tine strikers of Maxwell's
and a number of new employees, who were
going to their work. But for the prompt
interference of the police the result might
have been quite serious The strikers. who
numbered about fifteen, were armed with
clubs, while the non uniOnists were more
than three times the number of their asSaiI-
ants. The attacks were fierce but short
lived. Only one man is reported as being
injured. The police succeeded in arresting
three men, named Henry Lindelz, Thomas
O'Malley and Dan Mahoney. The prison.
ers were all brought before Justice Ingerson
to-day.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 15.-At an early
hour yesterday morning a large farm house
near WayneSburg, Stark county, o., caught
fire Miss Jennie McIlhanney, the woman
OF the place, was with the exception of two
servants. the only occupant of the house.
One OF the servants discovered the flames
and awoke Miss McIlhanney. Rushing
from the house in her bare feet, the young
lady stood on the icy platform near the well
and pumped water for twenty minutes;
then, seeing that help was needed. she
dashed away through the snow quarter of
a mile to the nearest house. When she had
given the alarm she ran back. The tenn
perature was 12o below zero. and Miss
Mcllhanney was nearly paralyzed with cold.
Her bare feet and limbs were badly frozen,
and 1t was with the greatest difficulty that
the attending physician prevented the ne
eeSSity OF amputation. The lady is now in
a critical condition.

EPPS IN DANGER.
A HOOsIer Mob Makes an AbOrtive
Attempt TO Lynch Him.


BLOOMFIELD, Ind, Jan ia desper-
ate effort was made here last night 10 mob
the negro, Epps, who so cruelty murdered
james Dobson a few nights ago, but the
bravery of the sheriff and his deputies kept
the excited crowd at bay. All day people
collected from the neighborhOOd of Sails
bury, aud by o'clock it was evident that
to leave Epps over night was almost certain
death. Papers were at once prepared to
remove him 10 Vincennes for safety. Just
at dusk buggy drove hurriedly up to the
rear of the Jail. In an instant it was sur
rounded by the crowd. Soon the sheriff APP
peaTed with a revolver, and stated that he
would shoot the first man that interfered.
In minutes time EDps was in the buggy,
and disappeared as fast as the horse could
take him. The crowd was so infuriated
that horses were secured and several men
started at once, but as there were several
different roads they lost the track and soon
returned. By midnight the streets were
filled with people and another posse started
in pursuit to overtake the prisoner, but at
l o'clock nothing had been heard, and Epps
is now at VincenneS.

BUCKEYE MYSTERY.
Conflicting Opinions Regarding the
Death OF Flora Brown.

Special to the Globe
DAYTON, o.. Jan. 15.-The mystery sur
rounding the strange disappearance of
Flora Brown of Xenia is deepening as time
passes on. Her supposed body was taken
from clearinghouse here last Sunday,
where she died the day before from the
effects of an attempted abortion. When
her remains were taken TO her home her
friends could see no resemblance. Since
then an investigation has been instituted,
and the relations are now satisfied that the
corpse taken to Xenia is not that of Flora
Brown. When alive she had two
rings on her finger, one given to
her by her aunt, and the other by her
uncle. The corpse had but one, and it was
neither of those worn by Flora Brown.
Flora came here the day before Christmas
with several hundred dollars, gold watch,
sealskin sacque and other valuables. She
visited her aunt, Mrs. Norman Altick, and
remOined several days. When she left she
stated she would visit GrOceryman Grabbs
in this city and then go to Troy on visit
to friends there. She never put in an ap-
pearance at GrabbS, and abOnt week ago.
Just a few days before the death of the young
woman, Mrs. Altick received letter pur-
porting to come from Troy and written by
Flora, stating she was there and
HAVING A GOOD TINE.
The letter has been compared with others
known to have been written by Flora, and
it is found that the Troy letter is forgery.
Just shat has become of Flora Brown, and
whose body it is that her relatives have
buried is profound mystery. It's said by
persons who reside in the vicinity OF the
clearinghouse in which Flora Brown is re-
ported to have died, that, during the after
noon of the day three strangers were OBJ
served about the premises, and they car
ried away corpse, and after night on the
same day another corpse was removed from
the same house. Another mysterious cir
cumstance in connection with this affair is
that Cornelius Brown, a cousin of Flora
and who was reported to have caused
her ruin, is missing. He left his home the
day that Flora's death was reported. The
affair is creating an intense excitement in
this city and Greene county, where the girl
resides and where she has wealthy rela-
tiyes living. Floras will was admitted TO
probate in the Greene county probate
court. Her estate consists of about So, 600
in money and $4,000 in real estate. The
police here, in connection with friends of
the diseased, are attempting to fathom the
mystery.

Released TO Prevent LynchinE.

Special to the Globe.
New ORLEANS, Jan. 15.-Some time
ago Joe Flowers. a negro living in Bien-
vile parish, La, was attacked by party
of white men and cruelty beaten. The
negro got hold of weapon and killed Dick
Hayes, one of his assailantS, and escaped
to Mississippi. A few days ago a party of
Hayes neighbors discovered where Flowers
was living, and without authority of law
went to that state and arrested him.
They conveyed him by rail to Russian,
where they cut across the country for
Vernon, Bienville parish, with the ostensi-
bic purpose of landing Flowers in Jail. A
short distance from Russian, however, they
were met by another party of white men
provided with rope, and preparations were
made TO lynch the prisoner. Flowers broke
from his captOrs and fed, followed by a
shower of bullets, one of which struck him
in the shoulder and ano ther in the hand.
He made his way back to Russian, claimed
the protection of the authorities and was
jailed. Wednesday it was apparent an
attack would be made on the Jail by mob,
and Flowers was released and told TO flee
tile country, which lie did. No warrant
has ever been issued, his act being purely
IN self-defense. Much feeling exists among
all classes against the mob
