GALVESTON. Tex, Feb. 17.-There died
in this city to-day. under deplorable cir
cnmStances, one of the best-known residents
of Galveston, Capt. Hamilton Jefferson
Gedney, aged 6S, a brother OF Rear Admiral
Gedney of the United States navy. For
twenty years he was Familiarity known in
the marine world of Galveston as Capt.
JEFF" For eighteen years past up to the
time of his death, he was master of Gov
eminent Light Ship No. %, which lies in
Galveston roads near the outer harbor. In
his later years the old captain was the slave
of liquor. On shipboard he was a COM
mander and a gentleman, maintaining strict
discipline, and it was his boast that in six
teen years, through storm and sunshine
the ship lights were always burning at the
appointed moment. On shore the genial
old mariner degenerated into a groyeling
drunkard, and would spend his time and
money hanging about saloons. One pecu-
liarity about him was the fact that he
would never go to bed when he came ashore
and begun his spree. He would sit around,
sleeping in chairs for week or ten days,
then totter down to
HIS SUPPLY DEPOT
and ask to be sent to the hospital. from
which he would emerge in a weeks time,
pay his bills, and go back to the ship, where
his life was one of sobriety. Friday he
came ashore for the last time. and immedi-
ately began his quarterly spree, entering a
saloon ON Market street. Toward
noon yesterday he bought a few
ginger cakes and began eating one.
He was observed to be choking, and after a
few feeble struggles fell back in his chair
dead. Capt. JEFF was a man of many noble
qualities, ana always a final authority on
marine matters. With the influence OF
powerful relatives he held his position
through many administrations. Unlike his
celebrated brother, he espoused the Con.
federate cause i'm the civil war. Prior tC

A Ce.satIon of Business,

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 1.-THE brake
mems strike on the Morgan railroad has
caused complete cessation of work in
every part of the Morgan possessions in
Algiers. No freight trains go out and the
laborers will neither discharge nor load
steamships at the wharf. The general
manager of Morgan's Louisiana & Texas
Railroad and Steamship company said there
was nothing to do but wait for events to
shape themselves. He had telegraphed TO
New York TO stop all shipments of freight
by the steamships of this line. The South
ern Pacific Railroad company has issued
notice to shippers that no freight would be
received at MOrgan's depot for shipment
owing to interference of strikers. The
notice states that this measure will be in
force until the strike Is over. as trains can
not be moved without being arbitrarily
stopped at Gretna and other points.

Mrs Hendricks Annoyed by Conn
municants With the other World.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. IA gen.
tleman who called upon Mrs. Hendricks
yesterday says she has regained her wonted
cheerfulnesS, but whenever the name of her
late husband was mentioned her voice fall
tered and grief became apparent. She has
been away but little since her husband's S
death, and then only for a short time. She
felt better at home, surrounded by the OBJ
jects and friends with whom she and Mr..
Hendricks were intimately associated. In
the course of the conversation an allusiOn
was made to Spiritualism, and Mrs. Hen
dricks remarked that she had been consid-
erably annoyed by letters and alleged COM
munications from Mr.. Hendricks, sent by
this class of persons. A medium in Wash
ingtOn had sent her several pieces of poetry,
which she said had been inspired by spirits
in the spirit land, and that she had arisen
at 1880 in the morning to take them down.
Mrs. Hendricks returned no answer. and a
few weeks later another batch of spirit po-
etry was received with letter manifesting
displeasure that her first communication
had not been answered. Mrs. Hendricks
wrote to her that she had no confidence in
her ability to communicate with spirits.
Another letter was received from a person
in New York who professed an ability for
spirit communication. This person inclosed
letter from Mr.. Hendricks, claiming that
1t was genuine and written in his own pc
euliar style. There was an undoubted re-
semblanee, but Mrs. Hendricks character
lied it as only a clever piece Of imitation,
remarking that she could easily detect the
difference. The writing might deceive some
people. but her familiarity with his chi
Biography enabled her to see at once that il
was not his. Concluding her conversation
ON this matter, she said:
OF course / do not believe in such things
and do not see that any good can come from
encouraging them.

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 17.-Father r.. G. Belts,
a rector of one of the Episcopal churches in
this city. when he delivered the funeral
sermon over the body of Father Jardine,
who committed suicide some time ago. took
occasion during the delivery Of the sermon
to denounce Bishop Robinson as the real
cause of Jardine's death by refusing the
latter rehearing. This led to contro-
versy between the bishop and Father Belts
which has waxed warmer the longer it has
been prolonged, and it now transpires that
Father Belts recently applied to ithe bishop
for the confirmation OF a number OF the
members Of his BETSY church. The
bishop replied that he would confirm no
members of that church until Its rector
should apologize for the Language used dur
ing the controversy. Father Belts refuses
to withdraw from his former position. and
thus the matter rests.

a mistake made in telegram transmitted

Bensley, commission men at Union stock
yards, to Wright, at Colorado. Tex.
Wright is a cattle shipper, and requested
the commission men to notify him Of the
price of a certain herd Of cattle brought
into Chicago. The commission men sent a
telegram which the operator of the
defendant made read 81 more on each head
OF cattle than it was written. Wright re-
ceived the telegram. and though he heard
on the streets of Colorado that the figure
given as the operator wrote it was 81 more
than the market price in Chicago, shipped
a lot of cattle here and lost 1866 on them.
Judge McAllister reversed the judgment of
the lower court on the ground that Wright
was guilty of eontributory negligence in not
verifying the telegram before he shipped

CHICAGO, Feb. 17.-C. ID. Taylor, an
alleged funny man from Mankato. arrived
in Chicago to-day. He was accompanied
by his sister and lady friend. two estima-
bic young ladies. whose only misfortune
seems TO be that they are connected with the
humorously-inelined Taylor. The gentleman
walked to the register and signed himself
&C. ID. Taylor. Mormon elder, and two
wives" He demanded a single room.
Clerk Townsend was somewhat amazed at
the daring demand, and after consulting
Mr.. Palmer, decided that plurality Of
wives could not be tolerated In the hotel
Two rooms were therefore assigned 10 the
presumed Mormon during his absence
with his alleged wives shopping" and his
baggage carried up. When he returned
and wanted his room he was informed that
he must spread his family over two apart
ments, discreetly far apart The gentle
man than explained, in humOr, that he only
wanted the rooms for resting purposes
during the day. The ladies were
his sister and his friend and he only did il
for a lark. ''Allee samee, the joker had
10 pay for two rooms instead Of one, and
departed for Mankato in the evening with a
glimmering consciousness that he had not
conferred a great deal Of honor on the
ladies who accompanied him, and that lie
wasn't half as smart as he thought he was.

VALUABLE PATENTS.
An Important suit over Mill Ma.
chinerY.

Special 10 the GLOBE.
TORONTO, Ont, FEB. 17.-George
Thomas Smith of Jackson, Mich, was ar
rested here at hotel, where he has been
stopping, on a charge of perjury preferred
by Benjamin Barter, manufacturer Of
mill machinery of Toronto. A suit in
chancery was brought in 1878 against Bar
ter by Fred A. Rowland and A. j. Stevens
to restrain him from manufacturing certain
mill machinery, which they claimed they
had patent on. In this case Smith was
examined. He showed that the
machinery was in his mill and
in that of the Pillsbury mills
in Minnesota in 1871, which was manufac-
tured by the plaintiffs before Barter COM
menced TO manufacture the same kind OF
machinery himself. The patents on the
machinery in question were S100. 900. Bar
ter bases the charge Of perjury brought
against Smith on the fact that he was not
in Minnesota in 1871. The prisoner, Smith,
was brought before the police magistrate
and was remanded till tomorrow. AS the
case was decided against Barter simply on
the evidence of Smith, if the charge of per-
jury can be sustained. the valuable patents
involved in the former action will doubtless
be awarded to Barter.
