ipotentiary. He distinguished himself
in the negotiation of treaties with Par
aguay. Uruguay and the Argetine Re-
public. After two years in Brazil he re-
turned to Ohio, his native state, but
took no part in politics. When the civil
war broke out he at once offered his
services to the government, and was
commissioned brigadier general by
President Lincoln May II, 1851.
He served with his brigade in the first
battle of Bull Run. in which the Union
army was defeated. He next served in
West Virginia under Gen. Rosecrans,
and did some brilliant fighting at Nc
Dowell and Cross Keys. Gen. Fremont
then intrusted him with the command
of division, and while leading the First
division of Franz Sigel's corps at the
second Bull Run, his right arm was
shattered by a musket ball, incapacitat-
ing him for service for some time. In
September, 1862, he was promoted to be
a major general, and in December of
that year he took command of the mid
die department and Eighth corps at Bal
timore. He rendered effective service in
the Gettysburg campaign.

the noted anti-war Democrat, Vallandig-
ham, and, though the district was Dem
ocratic, he carried the election, and
resigned his post in the army, took his
seat in the house of representatives Dec
3, 1866 He was Immediately made
chairman on military affairs, and dur
ing this and the following congress, his
position enabled him to do good service
for the Union cause. He was reelected
to the two succeeding congresses, and,
throughout these exciting times during
and after the war he took leading part
in the proceedings of the house.
During his last term he was chairman
of the ways and means committee and
leader of the house. succeeding Thad-
Gus Stevens in command of the Repub-
lican party. He was minister to Eng
land in 1870, and in 1871 one of the Ala
bama claims commissioners, retaining
this last office for five years, when he
resigned. Since that time he has made
his home in this city, where he was a
warm favorite. He was a familiar fig
ure at Republican gatherings here, but
took no active part in politics.
His death follows closely that of Gen.
Crook, "a native of the same city Oav
ton, O.) and that of George II. Pendle-
ton, an ex- minister, of the same state.

Hot words Between Senator and Uni
ted States Marshal at Pensacola.
PENSACOLA, Fla, March 25 This city
was all agog Sunday over reported
difficulty between Senator Call and
United States Marshel Mizell, of Jack
soville, here Saturday. Rumors of all
kinds were abundant, and many were
the versions Of the difficulty. One was
that it was a knock-down and drag-out,
and another was that 'pistols and coffee
for two We're the principal ingredients.
The parties interested had nothing to
say, but aney eyewitness was finally found
whc gave away the "wordy duel" The
exact facts are as follows Mizell has
lately received letters from his neigh
bors IA Orange county, informing hlm
that Call has been writing to that sec
ton sor private information respecting
his private life He had also heard that
certain remarks affecting his private life
had bapn made before the senate judi
ciary committee by Senator Call. That
morning Call and Mizell met in the hotel
Office Mzell called Senator Call to one
side and abruptly remarked:
.'Look here, Call | understand that
you have been talking in the senate
about my private life, and that you have
alleged certain things which l hereby
pronounce lies. If you have done so,
you are id dirty puppy, and | will
hold you personally responsible for the
act.
Senator Call colored highly, and
sharply roplied "See here, Mizell, you
should not talk that way to me. Such
language has often made the best of
friends kill one another" and his hand
twitched nervously.
To this he replied: 81 can't help that.
If you made the remarks which were
imputed to you, you are id dirty
puppy"
swell, said Call, with more compo-
sure, "you must remember | am not the
only representative from Florida in con-
gress, and beside | did not make the re-
mark
"Then," said Mizell, ION your state
ment that you did not make the remarks,
] take back what 1 said, and hope you
will accept my apology"
The two then shook hands, and all
looks of gore vanished 1t is learned
that aside from Mizell's corroboratons
of tie above, that Senator Call subse-
quently said that but for the fact that he
knew Mizells family, and that Florida
would suffer for his act he would have
shot Mizell where he stood.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CRIME.
An nEfeven-Year-Old Colored Boy Decapi-
tates His Mother with an AK.

SoMERvILLE, Tenn, March GA sim
gularly atrocious murder was committed
here Sunday morning. the victim being
Mrs. Sally Hobson, colored, and the
murderer her 11-year-old boy. Mrs.
Hobson was servant in the family of
the Episcopal minister, and lived with
her four children in a small house in the
rear of the parsonage.
Sunday morning her husband, who
had been in the country at work, called
at the house in company with another
negro, and after short stay started out
for a walk. Returning half an hour
later, terrible sight met his eyes. On
one side of the door lay the decapitated
remains of his wife, and several feet
away the head. A stick of wood, on
which her neck had been placed when
the cutting was done, showed three dis
tinct cuts of an ak.
The boy was found playing with the
other children, his clothing saturated
with blood. He at first claimed that
the blood was from chicken which he
had killed, but at the coroners inquest
admitted he had committed the crime.
He said his mother laid her head on the
block and told him if he did not cut her
head off she would kill him. The boys
story is not believed, and he was placed in
Jail pending further investigation.

fires in Keechie township, Sedgwick
county, Sunday burned over eight sec
tions Of farming land, destroying every
thing in their path Two farm houses,
with their barns and outbuildings, are
reported burned but no lives were lost,
A dispatch flom Wichita to The
journal says that the fire started about
noon Sunday. The wind was blowing
almost a gale from the southeast, and it
was impossible to stay the flames. The
stock on the farms was driven before the
fire, some of it outrunning the flames,
while others fell from exhaustion and
the heat, and were consumed. The
flames were driven by the wind in a
northwesterly direction as far as the
Santa Fe railway, where, having no
fuel to feed upon, they died out. Four
farm houses with their barns and sheds
were destroyed, but no lives were lost.
The loss of property, including stock, is
estimated at from S75, 900 to $t00, 600.
Ten quarter sections were burned over

sumed.

Level Than Ever Befnre Known.
CINCINNATI, March e5.--The Evening
Post Monday afternoon printed the fol-
lowing:
The river at Cincinnati Is likely to
mark seventy-seven feet by next Satur-
day. The river must be expected to
continue rising till Friday night or Sat
urday, as a heavy rain storm over Indi-
ana, Ohio and the Allegheny river valley
is threatened. All who live along the
river should prepare for rise of at least
seventy-seven feet. If the rain on the
north side of the river should prove very
heavy, the river at Cincinnati will reach
eighty feet, and this is a distinct posi-
bility thai should be prepared for
In view of the certain prospect of the
greatest flood ever known in the Ohio
valley since the advent of the white
man, the Ohio legislature should appro-
pirate 100000 for relief and succor
Indiana Kentucky and Illinois should
appropriate each a like sum, even
though it We're necessary to convoke the
legislatures of one or more of those
states for the purpose.
The Cincinnati water works should pre-
pare, if anything preparatory bepossible
for seventy-seven feet of water at Gin
cinnati. If economy is to be used in de-
pleting the reservoir now is the time to
begin, Let nobody be deceived as to the
amount of this rise so as to be caught
unprepared. Nothing, save the direct
imposition of God can prevent the river
going above seventy feet, and there is
an almost certain prospect of seventy
seven feet. Now is the time to prepare
for it.
AT noon Monday the river was fifty
seven feet one inch in the channel and
