Presents for Arctic Keseuer..

A Washington special says; Some
months ago the HerdH printed a TO
mantle story of the rescue Of James
Vincent, the only survivor of the
wrecked bark Napoleon, from a lonely
point on the Siberian coast. The Esqui-
maux amoug whom Vincent had fallen
ministered 10 his wants as well as their
meagrc supplies permitted until his
whereabouts were discovered 10y Captain
Healey, Of the revenue-cutter Bear,
when he was removed to San Francisco.
Shortly after Congress met in Decem-
Der last bill was introduced approprls-
ting 81, 900 for the purchase of presents
to be distributed among these Esqui-
maux in appreciation of their kindness
to Vincent and other shipwrecked sea-
men. This bill has recently become a
law.
To-day Captain Bennett, Of the reye-
me marine service, addressed letter TO
Secretary Bayard, asking him to inquire
of the Russian Minister what kind Of
presents the Russian Government would
prefer given to the natives. If, as IS
expected tins will be left to the option
Of the Treasury Department, Captain
Healey, of the Bear, will be empowered
to make tho purchases. These will
consist in general way of articles Of
clothing, firearms, &c. 1t was at first
intended to include a certain amount Of
provisions among the supplies, but it
was feared that this would have demo
ralizing effect upon the recipients, and
this part of the programme was there
fore abandoned. The Bear will sail for
Behring Sea about the 9Th Of May with
the presents on board.

RESULT OF A FAMILY FEUD ON THE
EAsTSRE SHORE.
Knocked Down with Heavy Stiek-The
wise-Mahons Controversy
Coupon Suits
Correspondents Of Tho Richmond DIspatch.l


OSAYcocK, April y, 1883.
An inveterate family ieud broke out
afresh several days ago between Santa
Anna Lewis and his brother George,
( both Of whom reside near Leemont, some
/ ten miles north of Onancock, on the bay
side. They engaged in regular pitched
/ LATHE, and Santa Anna knocked George
/ down with heavy hickory cane, render
I ing him insengbie for several hours. The
/ doctors finally brought him around all
right. and yesterday he came to Acco-
mack Courthouse in search of lawyer
TO prosecute his brother for knocking
+ him down with such q murderous wea-
/ pom.
The white Republicans on the Eastern
Shore are said TO be much exercised over
the war OF words now going on between
Hon. John ). Wise and ex-senator Ma
hone. While Mr.. Wise WIS born in
Brazil, his father was a native and for a
long time resident Of Accomack, and
ne has many warm personal friends on
the Eastern Shore, to say nothing of his
numerous relations, some OF the most
prominent of whom followed him into
the Republican party. AS between Mr..
I Wise and General Malone it is very evi-
dent that large proportion of white
Republicans on the Eastern Shore side
with the former, but whether any consid-
cradle number of them can be enlisted
in fight against the supremacy OF Ma
hone in the councils of the party or
whether the negroes can he induced
to desert Malone it is hard to say.
Malone has never been popular
among the white Republicans in tins sec
ton, and not few of them have openly
declared that Mahone's dictatorial policy
has been the main cause of all Repubh-
can defeats IN this state since 1889.
There can he no doubt that the quarrel
between the two factions has produced
serious embarrassments in the Republi-
can party of this congressional district.
1t is not known here where Congress
man Bayly Browne stands. but as he is "a
candidate for reelection he will proba-
bly, keep out of the fight between Gene
raj Malone and Captain Wise with both
of whom he is on terms of strong personal
as well as political friendship. Captain
Wise's friends here will make strong
efforts to send delegates to the State
Convention friendly to him, but If
General Malone should contest this field
there would be lively and interesting
fight.
The session Of the Circuit Court of Ac-
comack is drawing to a close. The only
business of general interest transacted at
this term are the cases against those
who have rendered coupons in payment
of taxes. Commonwealth -Attornoy
Fletcher instituted proceedings against
all persons in the county who rendered
coupons contrary to the law, and has
succeeded in getting judgment for the
State in all the cases thus far tried.
There were not more than half dozen
persons in Accomack who rendered cOu
pons for last years taxes.
There WAS a fine rain here Tuesday,
since which the weather has been de-
lightful and farmers and gardeners are
pushing their work vigorously ahead.

"Happy Rob" Hanged.

lBy Telegraph 70 tue DISPATCH
WARSAW, y. Y, April 13.-Robert
Van Brunt, n prominent member Of the
Salvation Army, known as Happy
Bob, ." was hanged in the Warsaw jail
ward this morning for the murder of the
half brother of his sweetheart, William
Roy. Roy was opposed to Van Brunts
attention to his sister. Van Brunt came
upon them when conversing, and dis
covering that Roy was endesvonng to
dissuade his sister from accepting Van
Brnnt's attentions, the latter drew a
pistol and killed Roy at his sisters side.
The girl has fairly moved Heaven and

she found that Governor Hill would not
pardon Van Brunt she tainted at the
Governors feet and is now in the Albany
Hospital. No special feature attended
the execution.

RAGS BETWEEN IocomouvES.
A" Exciting Incident ON Ire Bur
ltngtOn Track.
IBy Telegraph to Tho Dlspatch


CHICAGO, April l3.-There was an ex-
citing race between two locomotives on
the Burlington track last evening, which
almost eliminated in bloodshed. Vol
ieys OF stones were thrown aud a pistol
shot was fired. but no one was very
badly hurt. The trouble began at the
Chicago and Alton crossing at Brighton
Park. Burlington engine sc was pulling
tram of freight cars from the stock-varls
TO Western avenue, and Engine 500. OF
the st. Paul, was hauling a light train in
the same direction. At the crossing
both crews claimed the right OF way.
and IN something less than a minute
stones and pins were flying III all direc-
irons. At last Switchman Benton on
the 90 tram was struck in the face
with lump Of coal He Immediately
drew his revolver and fired into the cab
oil the st. Paul engine, which was slight
~ IN the lead. Nobody was shot, but
VIXEN the bullet whisted 10y the St.
Paui engineer he put on full steam
and made for home. The go"
engineer tried to Overtake tho fleeing
foe. but on account of the upgrade be-
tween the Chicago and Alton crossing
and the bridge he lost considerable
ground. At last the crew, determined
not 10 ice beaten, cut their engine loose
from the train, and went laundering up
the track. The race WAS a mad one, and
neither engine seemed to be gaining
ground until the bridge was reached. At
that point the 90" engine made squirt,
and il ran down the "N into the West
ern avenue yards some distance ahead
of its rival. The 90" men wished TO
head the engine off at the Western ave-
nue target. and have It's crew arrested,
but the target was held against them,
and the ST. Paul engine disappeared up
the track, going at the rate OF thirty
miles an hour. In the mean time the
90 train, left alone on the grade near
the bridge, started to run down Hill, and,
as nobody was on board, it went right
across the Chicago and Alton crossing.
The signals were against a train moving
in that direction, but fortunately no
Alton trains were running there at the
time, and it shot safety down the
track for a few more blocks, stop
ping finally at a street crossing
and blocking the way. An engine on
Western avenue was sent after the train,
and it was taken away within half an
hour. At the strikers quarters, at Four
teenth and jefferson streets. indignation
was expressed over the affair, and the
men declared that the 90" gang must
have cut the train loose with the inten
ton Of letting it run down the track and
wreck something at the Chicago and
Alton crossing.
Detectives who have had an invest-
cation INTO the reported concealment OF
fatal accidents on the Burlington are sat
isfed that the reports were not true.

CHR1srIASsBURG, VA, April 13.-The
split between Wise and Malone evokes
interest here as elsewhere. In converse
ton leading Republican of the county
to-day he remarked that he was with
Wise in so far as he was opposed to the
unit rule. This | think voices the
sentiment of the leaders of the party
here.
The man Paris Williams, whom | re-
ported shot, is still living, and the proba-
bihties are that he will recover.
An old negro woman suddenly fell to
