SECRETARY BAYARD'S LOSS.
His Wifc's Death Closely Follows
1hnt of his DauChtcr.

His Wifc's Death Closely Follows
that Of his Daughter.
A Washington dispatch of the 3lst says:
Mrs. Bayard, the wife of the secretary
of state, died at o'clock this morn
ing. The immediate cause of her death
was congestion of the brain, brought on by
the shock of her daughters sudden death two
weeks ago. For the lirst week following that
event sue stood the strain and excitement
quite well, but week ago last Friday she
was compelled to take TO her bod, and
gradually grew worse from day to day. On
Thursday congestion of the brain made its
appearance She was unconscious for twenty
four hours before her death. Although fol
years Mrs. Bayard has been a confirmed IN
valid, she had for the last six months BEEN i'll
better health than for many years
She was about tifty-one years of age, anc
was the mother of twelve children, eight OF
whom are living She was member
of the well-kuown Lee family, of Balti
more, but was comparatively littlo known II
Washington society, as owing to her Ill health
she rarely went out and never received unit
this winter.
Mr.. Bayard is almost broken down. The
death of his wife following SO closely upoI
that of his daughter has depressed hin
greatly. With the exception of her daughter
Mrs. Warren, of Boston, and q son who IS ID
Arizona, the family were all present When
Mrs Bayard died. The body was taken Ec
Wilmington, Del, for interment.

Feathered Butchers.

In California butcher birds catch a
large variety of lizards, including the
horned toad, mice, and kangaroo rats,
and one has been seen flying laboriously:
CARRYING a blucjay quite as large, if not
larger than itself. As rule, game thus
captured is taken to some favorite spot
and irnpaled or hung up, and then tom
apart, SO that in a locality frequented by
these birds quite a museum is often
found, composed of the dried remains OF
various animals, tho dismembered parts,
bits of bone, and other material. In
southern California the orange tree offers
every induccment to these butchers,
the thorns with which the branches arc
armed being used for this singular pur-
pose of laceration. Sitting perfectly i'm
movable on twig, the bird suddenly es-
pies horned toad or lizard, and darting
down, before the frightened animal can
bury itself or seek shelter, it is seized III
the powerful beak and borne struggling
to the place of execution. At first the
victim is often held down with one claw,
after the manner practiccd by hawks.
and so torn and laccrated; but generally
a sharp thorn or pointed twig is selected,
and the body forced against it until it Is
firmly impalcd. This having been &C.
complished successfully, the body ia
sometimes left, as often the capture il
seemingly made in wanton pleasure, TO,
the mere sake of killing; the victim lef'
disembowled---a grim warming to others.
When the butcher is disposed to devonr
its game, the thorn is used to help tear 1t
apart, the flesh being torn in both dlrec-
tions. So strong is this habit that IN
confinement the bird still takes advan-
tage of any sharp object. Thus pointed
strick, sharpened for the purpose, being
given a Gagged butcher bird, ali its food,
Consisting of raw meat, was immediately
placed upon it, and either left or de-
voured. --ScientiGc american.

The Apache Chief and his Followers
Throw Down their Arms.
Additional news from the seat Of war con-
firms the report of the Apache chief Geron-
imo's unconditional surrender to the United
States troops. The war has been in progress
since may, 1885, and troops have been in the
Southwest field since the 22d Of that month.
It has been one of the hardest wars Oh the
regular service that ever occurred in the
with the country can realize the
hardShips. The Indians were fully
equipped, and when their horses feet became
tender on long marches thoy made rawhile
shoes. almost as durable as iron, and were
thus enabled to dstln the pur suing cavalry
Being familiar with the country III, Indians
led the soldiers weary and uncer ain chase
They divided into small bands and raided
in oil directions. Coming to a ranch, thy
would kill the settler AMI his family, mulilate
the victims beyond recognition, steal provi-
sions and drive off all the horses. Chief Gero-
nimo was the first to 60 on the war-nath
with his band OF bucks. They
were Chiriculha Aoaches, the rem
nant of Chachises celebrated fighters from
San Carlos agency, in Arizona. The tribe
was always wallike. It never lived on the
reservation proper, but under the control of
the agency. The Chiricahuas were scattered
through the mountains within the limits of
the reservation so that it was impo ;siblc to tell
the exact number From all &C counts there
must have been nearly hundred
Careful estimates place the number of thcs,
who were killed by these fandi during their
last raid at TO- Many OF the killed were
women having highly respected connections
in the East. II the people Of New Mexico and
Arizona are permitted to have their way,

The Demand for Information Con-

A Washington dispatch says that "the
latest announcement as to the attitude Of the
administration with respect to the request of
the Senate for information is that none Of the
papers asked for in the Edmunds resolution
will be sent to the Senate. And this reason
is assigned by the gentleman who givss the
information, and he is very near to official
circles: If the resolution had been in
troduced in open session the papers asked for
would have been readily granted; but the
resolution was adopted in executive session,
viii h seems to indicate that the information
is wanted for use in connection with conir-
nations, and, for that reason, will be with
held"

ton, he says:
