If "the best Lohengrin" should be developed

by critics that the princely parsonage was
never better done in London than by Ed

married Miss Marcia Roosevelt, of
this city, about IL years ago.
Since then Brother Scovel has stu1ied and
sung in Italy and in London, and now returns
to the land of his birth to be a member Of

HIS HEAD WAS ALIVE.
A Decapitated Brakeman Winks at the
Fireman and Engineer.

A Negsunee, Mich, dispatch says that a
brakeman named Thomas Higgins yesterday
slipped between two freight cars on a moving
train near Maple Ridge. The signal to stop
was given by another brakeman, who saw the
fall, and the train stopped and backed up to
where Higgins lay. Eight cars had passed
over his body, which was frightfully msnglsd.
The head was completely severed from the
trunk, and lay several feet from the track.
Fireman Bye picked up the head and was hor-
ror stricken to see the eyelids close and again
open and partly close again. This was seen by
Engineer VIM. Whitney and the brakeman. All
three were badly frightened. This sign OF
consciousness was given several minutes after
the head was severed from the body. The three
witnesses are reliable men

MANASSAS BLOODY RIOT.
-Four Officers Killed and Many Others
Wounded In the Fight.

The Baltimore American publishes the fol-
lowing letter from the acting superintendent
Of the Nayassa phosphate company, which
contains the first authentic account of the
trouble at this island: On the morning Of the
18th instant the negroes arose in insurrection
and killed four officers, as follows: Thos. N.
Foster, Jos. Fales, Jas. Mahon and Wm. T.
Shea. Mr.. Roby was first assaulted in the
diggings and hit on the head with clubs until
left for dead He was found in a rock hole
under g lot Of wheeling boards. He was re-
moved to the house and took part in the battle
with the black fends after having thirty
stitches taken in his scalp. He is at present
doing well. At noen the men congregated in
front Of the superintendent house and re-
fused to work. We took refuge in the upper
story Of the superintendent's house and opened
fire on the mob, which was now throwing
stones against and into the house from every
direction, as we'll as shooting at any one of Us
who happened to be seen by them.
THAT BATTLE LASTED ABOUT THREE HOURS,
with an occasional negro wounded, when we
were startled by the explosion of dynamite
bomb, which they had thrown ON the lower
porch. This was soon followed by another,
until there was continual roar Of dynamite.
These bombs were exploding around and

rooms adjoining the one in which we had
sought shelter. The negroes we're behind cars
drawn up in front Of the house, and the trees,
tanks and many buildings near by afforded them
protection from our occasional shots We had
but 10 couple of rounds Of ammunition left,
which we were preserving for closer quarters,
which We knew must inevitably come.
Shortly after Pm. they broke into the
dynamite magazine and got fresh supply of
dynamite. BY this time the explosions Of dy-
Mantle had become SO frequent and uninter-
rupted, and knowing it was their intention to
blow us into eternity. we decided to leave the
house and endeavor to reach the officers quar-
tiers and make another stand. but we had not
gotten twenty feet away before they saw US
and attacked US from every direction with
axes, knives, rocks, raZors and clubs at the
same time uttering fendish yells that Ca
manche Indian would have envied.
Those OF Us whose lives were spared owe,our
lives 10 the Intervention Of friendly negroes,
who hid US in little building until the excite
ment had somewhat subsidized, while they
were engaged in looting, robbing and pillaging
the buildings, and all property owned by the
officers was being rihed.
On the Goth instant III. MS Forward, q Brit
lsh man-of-war, came to our assistance, under
orders to remain until relieved by the United
States steamer Galena. We hear nothing Of
the Galena whatever. When last heard from
she was at Hayti. Truly, each Of US, thorough
Americans as we are, can sincerely exclaim,
God Save the Queen! They have taken US
aboard and treated US royalty; treated US as
honored guests. We are hourly expecting the
Galena. We owe our lives to the prompt arri-
val of II. Ms. Forward.

BABY BEATRICE.
She ID Restored to the Arms Of Mrs
Robert Ray Hamilton.

Baby Beatrice was taken from Mrs Rupp II
Philadelphia yesterday and carried to Mays
Landing, N. j., where she was restored to the
arms Of Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton by the
wife Of Sheriff johnson. Besides Baby Beatrice
Mrs. Hamilton now enjoys the possession OF
three trunks containing the costly wardrobe
that has been in the keeping Of Mrs. Rupp.
Her jewels, or an important part Of them,
we're in her possession when she was first
brought to the county Jail. Everybody who
was present at the trial remembers that Mrs.
Hamilton, although modestly dressed, wore a
scarf pin of clustered diamonds. Her long
gloves concealed her bracelets, studded with
precious stones, and her costly finger rings.
A great deal OF stun has been published con-
corning Mrs. Hsmilton's demonstrative inter-
view with her husband last week. The sole
witness of that interview was Mrs. johnson,
who remained in the room.
THE TRUTH ABoUT>HAMrLroN's VISIT.
Mrs. Hamilton, on the entrance Of her hus-
band and Mrs. johnson, stood at her window
with her face buried in her handkerchief.
Hamilton folded his arms and regarded her for
several minutes before q word passed between
them. The wife was the first to break the
silence.
"Will you desert me, Ray2" she said.
Hamilton's rejoinder was the demand that
sne snOulu disclose the parentage OF the child.
This Mrs. Hamilton refused to do, as she did
at the trial The interview terminated unsatis-
faetorily. Hamilton is expected to see her
again before she is taken to Trenton. Mrs.
Hamiltons lawyer, Capt. Perry, is expected to
see her today. The report that Mrs. Hamilton
Is in delicate condition is untrue; the an
nouncement emansted from herself Her
physician is authority for the denial.
One of Mrs. Hamilton's visitors Yesterday
was a woman who came here this afternoon
from New York. She was q tall, striking
blonde. She refused to give her name, but she
bore a message to Mrs. Hamilton from Mrs.
Swinton and she was admitted by the sheriff to
the prisoners room. She had been travelling
all night and she was obliged to lie down at the
jail before taking the last train back to New
York.
NURSE DoNNELLY IN DIME MUSEUM.
Nurse Donnelly is ON exhibition in a Bowery

looking woman Of perhaps thirty-fve years,
dressed in a neat merino gown Of white, with
narrow pink stripes, and French cap Of white
lace. On table at her side were dress and
petticoat she wore when she was stabbed with
the cruel Mexican dagger by Mrs. Eva Hsmil-
ton, with the long slit in them by the sharp
knife which came SO near sending the nurse to
her grave. Mrs. Donnelly had with her also the
whisky bottle which figured in the bloody en-
gagement and has sent for the dagger.

Every car is marked with the number of men
and horses it will carry. For instance, q box
car is marked to carry thirty-six men or 8
horses. In this way the government knows lust
how many troops its rolling stock will trans

knows that it can thrown half million troons
