sTANLKx,s UNCERTAIN FATE

Nothing Definite Received Since Os- man Digna's Letter-various CoDjec- tures As to HIs Rate-Did He Ever Reach Emins
 BERLIN, Dec 19.-Interest in African af- fairs is for the moment all centered in the fate of Emin Bey and Henry M. Stanley. Lieutenant Wiessman, at public meeting in Cologne in October, said Emin's position at Wadelai formed wall, which separated the Arabs of the Soudan from those of the south, and that if the wall collapsed the whole Arab movement would be so strength ened that it would require a hundred-fold greater sacrifices to master it. The greatest doubt is thrown here the report that Stanley has been captured.
 It is argued that the alleged fight must have occurred between the third and fifth degrees of north latitude, between Lsdo and Wadelar. The distance to Omdur- man, Osman Digna's headquarters, is twelve hundred miles, and thence to Suakim is an- other four hundred miles. The swiftest mes .sengers would take four months to cover the entire distance. The result of the discussions of the Emin relief committee, however, is the postponement of the departure of Lieutenant Weissman until definite news has been ob tained of Emin's fate, Lieutenant Weissman urging that if the news of Emin's capture were true important notifications of his plans would be necessary in view Of the ln~ creased difficulties he would be almost certain to meet.
 A GLOOMY OPINION.
 LONDON, Dec. 18.-Mr. Thomson, the Af- rican explorer, writes that it is only too prob able that the Mahdi has captured Emin Boy. He expresses unhesitstingly the conviction that Stanley never reached Emin, but was annihilated with his whole party in the region to the west of the Albert Nyanza. In this region he says there are dense forests and swamps, and Stanley and his followers must have had to march almost in single file and to fight for their daily food.
 The absence of news he says is quite natu- ral because there is no slave or trade routes by which an Arab merchant could carry news. The disaster was wholly due to the selection of the Congo route. Why that route was selected still requires an explana- tion.
 MT. Troup,the transport officer of the Stan ley expedition, writes that there was not 8 single Snyder rife nor any ammunition for that kind of rife in the whole caravan when it left Yambunga.

HEwAHALAK TRAGEDY.

Another Story of the Bloody Affair A Private Quarrel Caused It Al-
 Scenes at the Funeral of one of the
 Victfms-DetermIned d Men in Pursuit
 Ofthe Scattered Negroes.
 NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1S.-The facts of Sum day nights tragedy differ slightly from the accounts already given. Wahalak is one of the smallest stations on the Mobile and Ohio railroad. The original difficulty grew out of George Msury, negro man, cursing 8 little six-year- old son of Tom Nicholson for not giving him all the road as the two met. Both were driving teams. Nicholson came up about this time and demonstrated with Maury. Maury called Nicholson liar. Nicholson struck him, and in return was struck on the head with pistol and stunned. Nicholson swore a warrant against Maury, charging him with carrying concealed wea- pons. It was this warrant that Cobb was trying to serve when he was attacked and beaten by negroes.
 STORIES OF THE INJURED.
 Seth Cobb, who was killed outright, was thirty-fve years old and leaves widow and seven children. M. H. Maury, killed, was thirty four years old and leaves a widow and
 
 the chest and arm and will die. After being shot he crawled on his hands and knees to the house of Seth, mile away, where he rs- mained until the next day, when the rescu- ing party went to recover the dead and wounded. On his way to Cobb's house Vaughn passed 8 negro cabin and asked for a drink of water, but the negro refused his re- quest Vaughn is a widower and has several small children. John W. Dewey Is badly shot in the groin, but the wound is not nec- esssrily fatal. J. L. Maury is terribly shot in the shoulders and arms and will die. G. T. Nicholson is shot in the breast and wrist. William Hare and Jeff Thomas are slightly wounded in the hands.
 SEARCHING FOR THE MURDERERs. H. Maury WAS buried here this evening. The funeral was attended by about seventy five stern looking men, who rode into town at noon to-day, having assembled from all parts of the surrounding country. They camped last night among the hills and searched all this morning for the negroes without success. They came in to attend the funeral and to have @ consultation with friends here. They stacked their guns in 8 vacant house near the grave and when the last sad rite had been performed for their former comrade they mounted their horses and rode of to where it was rumored the negroes were hiding among the hills swear I ing vengeance upon the muTderers. They are led by Captain Frank Prince of this coun. ! ty, who fought through the late war. Quite a number of men from various points are ex- pected to arrive to night and join the pursu, | ing party to morrow.

 Goal-Harsford Also Defeated.
 William H. Hill, the we'll known rusher,
 who was with the Salems when they won the
 championship, signed with New Haven yes
 terday morning after an interview with Presi-
 dent Kennedy in Salem. This proves what
 the COURIER has clung to, that Meriden has
 no claim, whatever, on Hill. He arrived last
 night and is now at the Selden House.
 Hill is more than good looking. He is as
 handsome as CAP Swords. He dresses with
 excellent taste, and has 8 small moustache
 that no one can help admiring. In conversa- tion with COURIER reporter last night he said:
 was born in Lowell, Mass, and am lit tie over twenty years old, although I look much older. During the fall have been playing with the German & Harrington comedy company, having nice trip through Maine and Nova Scotia. Last week laid off and went to my home. Manager Lewis of Salem interviewed me and wanted me to go Meriden. l refused, because last summer promised Secretary Macdonald that if l played anywhere it would be in New Haven. I would not go back on my promise. Meri- den had no claim on me. 1 didn't want to go there anyway, for l like New Haven, and have many friends here. It did not take Mir. Kennedy and myself long to come to terms. Now that am New Haven- CT shall do all I can for the New Haven team. Your team is now in hard luck, and that is just the time you reporters should en- courage the players, for if they think the re- porters are with them they will work all the harder to win.
 "When first began to play polo I was much smaller than Pierce of the Bridgeports. In the spring of '83 I was with the old Alphas of Lowell, and in that sum- mer joined the old Orchard Beach team. I was with the Lowells in the
 winter of '94, going to the Haverhills in the
 spring of the following year. In the middle of '85 was transferred to the Sslems, and | in that season that team won the champion ship. During the season of '85 and 'S6 was with the Salems, and in the fall of '96 | went to the New Bedfords. At the com mencement of the season of '87-SS was sold
 back to Salem and played there until last | summer. During the summer I was busi- ness manager of the Lowell base ball teanl." l Hill will play his first game Friday night ! against New Bedford.

QUIET RESTORED AT wAHALA.


 MERIDIAN, Miss, Dec. 19.-There is no change in the situation at Wahalak. This village was crowded this morning with peo- pie from the surrounding country. Parties have been searching the swamps and every locality where the negroes who did the kill ing on Sunday night are supposed to be se- creted, but not one of them has as yet been found. It is supposed that they have left the country. All the parties who left this city yesterday for the scene of the tragedy have returned and report everything quiet there. Nothing remains of the cabins but the smouldering ruins. All the stock owned by the riotous negroes was killed and every thing burned around their premises. Henry Maury and Seth Cobbs remains were brought to the village yesterday and their funeral will probably take place tomorrow. John Dew. who was severely wounded il the groin, is still alive but is in critical condi- tion. It is not known what further action will be taken by the men now on the ground
