A Nnral sensation l1rnsr,na.

WASHINGTON, Feb 14-From private adj
vices received at the navy department it
would appear that the arrival Of the United
States steamship Enterprise in New York
from Europe early next month will be tho
signal for somewhat Of a sensation in naval
circles. This vessel is under the command
OF Commander B. H. McCalla. who has tho
reputation Of being a strict disciplinarian
He has been some time abroad and is now on
his way home, bearing the body of ex-Min-
ister Pendleton, who died Ia Germany Up
ward OF seventy seamen, the letters referred

unable TO bear what thoy consider the cap
tain's harshness, and there is a rumor OF his
having struck one man with his sword, in
juring him severely. Ensign Klineand Chief
Engineer Entwistle are now under matches
for otfenses, awaiting the arrival Of the ship
home, when there will be at least two court
martials. Kline's offense, it is stated, was
sleeping on watch and denying il. p The Of
fense for which Engineer Entwistle was sus-
pended was talking back to the commander
when the latter was administering n re-
proof The two officers were having a con-
versation, so the story goes, when the com
mander took occasion 70 use language which
led the engineer to remonstrate. For this

IRoNwooD, Mich, Feb. 1.-THE day shift

ing a meeting in Pierce's ball The trouble

which is kept every month out Of their
wages and the privilege Of employing their
own physicians. Nearly 400 Of the miners
are in attendance at the meeting. IL is cur
rently reported that if the demands OF the
Aurora men are not acceded 70 the strike
for the overthrow Of the system will extend

Brother at Portland.

Brother at Portland.
EAST Roc TESTER, N. H., Feb. l4.-Soms-
where betu n here and the Maine boun-
dairy the corpse OF Hiram sawtelle, OF Bos-
ton, is believed 60 be buried. Half hun
dred detectives and police officers and as
many reporters are trying to find It A foul
crime, IL is believed, has been committed,
with Hiram sawtelle as the victim and bis
brother Isaac, recently pardoned Massa-
chusetts convict. as the chief instigator and
accessory, II not the actual murderer
The damnatory evidences Is a kit OF muir
derous tools which we're purchased near here
and have been traced to the possession OF the
prisoner. They include a brand new car
penter's ak to do the killing, pickax and
a shovel to dig the victims grave and a
hand lamp TO aid the assassin In his CHASTITY
operations The carpenters ak. or hatchet,
was fished up out Of Salmon Falls river.
Along the edge OF the ak were stains and
clots OF blood, and stuck TO the handle was
shred OF human flesh.
The most damning evidence Of all Is the
buggy hired at Smart's stable by Isaac a
week ago last Wednesday, thesanie day that
Hiram alighted from the train at Rochester.
There was blood on the cushioned seat OF the
buggy, blood soaked thick in hollows around
the buttons, blood ON the oilcloth in the bot
tom, and more blood on the rug covering
the oilcloth. The indications seem TO favor
the theory that having lured Hiram from
Boston by bogus kilograms, Isaac met him
at the train ON the afternoon of Feb. 5 witt
the buggy and drove OFF with him. Hiram
was not see again, but Isaac returned the
same night alone at $3.50. In the meantime
he had driven toward Springvale and wa
seen by Farmer Rankin and the latteri
daughter, both Of whom noticed that he had
a companion and that he had bundlein th,
back Of his buggy, covered with a rubber
cloth. The companion is supposed to be al
accomplice.
