SAVANNAH, N. Y. March I8.-Twelve
years ago George Lambert, a well-to-do
young man of good family. in this town,
married a young girl named Westcott, a
member OF one Of the best families in
Savannah. Mrs. Lambert's parents
owned a good farm near Lscola, Mich,
and a few years ago she and her husband
removed to that place aud occupied the
farm. The husband was industrious
an. thrifty, and their prospects were
OF the brightest. Five children had
been born to them. Last fall.
Mrs. Lambert's health being poor,
she went on a weeks visit to a relative a
few miles from Bangor. A young mulatto
girl was hired to keep house for her until
her return. When the wife came back
the neighbors were not slow 10 telling her
that her husbands conduct with the mu-
latto girl had been anything but proper
while she was away, but she refused to
believe a word of the gossip, aud retained
the girl in her service. She soon made
discoveries that astODished her, and she
discharged the girl. Lambert was so in
fatuated with the mulattu girl that he
tried to force his wife to take her back,
but failed.
He then sold live stock to the amount
Of 800, and he and the mulatto girl dis
appeared. Her husbands degradation
and desertion Of her drove Mrs. Lambert
insane, and her relatives brought her and
Ter family back to Savannah. A lew
days ago George Westcott. an uncle of
Mrs Lambert's, received a letter from
Lacola stating that Lambert had returned
there, and had advertised the farm for
sale, the sale being the almost due.
Westcott went to Michigan, and ar
rived there too late to stop the
sale, but in time to prevent Lam
bert getting any of the proceeds,
which amounted to "a, 200. Pending the
necessary measures to have Lambert ar.
rested, he escaped. Westcott retained
the money for the benefit of Mrs. Lam
bert and her family. The deserted wife
is dying at her uncle's house, her mind
being still deranged. At last accounts
Lambert was in Oil City in company with
the mulatto girl for whose benefit he
nearly succeeded in robbiug his dying
wife and his children Of their last de-

BURLINGTON, March l3-The much
talked-of Tansey-W elch fight to a finish
took place 1T Middle town, a small village
near this city, about midnight last night.
A special train carried a large number of
sports to the ring side. The latter was
pitched in the upper story of a frame
building, which was densely crowded by
the spectators. The two pugillsts entered
the ring in good trim and proceeded to
business at once. The first knock down
was scored by Tansey in the second, but
WEIGH succeeded in evening up matters
ia the third by drawing the crimson. The
mill from then on to the finish was an ad-
mirable exhibition Of skill and hard hit
ting up to the nineteenth round. Tan
sey's superior reach gave him slight ad-
vantage over WEIGH, but the %latter's agll-
ity stood him in good stead. and in the
nineteenth, by a quick left handed blow
in the neck, be sent Tansey to the floor
unconscious and unable to come to time.
The fight was awarded to Welch amid
much enthusiasm

ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ. March 10
For the past year a gang of desperate COW
boys have been terrorizIug the country

acts when half drunk, aud as they go

interfere. Last night the recognized
leader of the gang, Mage" Riley, got on
the east-bound passenger train at Holbrook

uplifted pokers, and commenced bltteriDg

difficulty that Conductor Roberts pre-

NEW YORK. March l3.-Austin Corbin
will establish the finest trans Atlantic
steamship line between this country and
Europe by building eight 1900 ton steel
American steamships, c pable of attaining
a speed of t]weuty-tour miles an hour, to
run from Montauk Point, L. [. to Milfor
Haven, England, 10 five days The arti-
Gle sets forth that nothing has hitherto
stood in the way of the cunsummation of
this scheme except the inability of Amer
leans to run the ships as cheaply as do the
English. The passaRe'o of the postal sub
sidy bill which grants 81, 000, 900 10 first
class ships removes that disability from
Amer ,an enterprise. Within two years
time it is expected that the first ships OF
this line will be in commission, and they
will be the finest ships ever built in the
world, the aggregate cost, it is expected,
amounting to the enormous sum OF Sl2,-
900, 600. Mr.. Corbin was seen last night
and was asked il the report was authentic.
He would only say that he had not au-
thorIzed such a publication.
Referring to the article to the effect
that he vas about to establish a five
day line of steamships between Mon
tank and Milford Haven, Austin Corbln
gave out the following statement today:
There is no truth whatever contained in
the seaboard article. 1t was entirely I'M
authorized | have had no interview
with anybody in connection with the mat
ter, and eau see no reason for the publ
cation Of such a report except 4 desire to

CRAwFoRDsvHLE, Ind, March 10
Rev, James G. Campbell, pastor OF the
Methodist church at West Lafayette, and
Miss Flora Barter OF this city, were mar
ried this afternoon. What makes the
marriage of particular interest is that it
has been delayed for some time owing to
the fact that the late A. p. Luce, the type
founder of Chicago, was Miss Darter's d.
vorced husband. The discipline of the
Methodist church says most positively
that a minister shall not marry a divorced
woman while her husband lives, and this
caused the delay. The wedding was n
quiet affair. The ceremony was per
formed by Rev. q. w. Switzer in the
same house where six years before Presi-
dent l. T. futile had married the same
bride to A. p. Luce.

the Indians. Personally he does not think
they will do anything desperate, but the
young braves are holding secret confer

ton as to how the hostilts at Fcrt Sheri,

Eleven guns at the Mare Island uavy

reply. This would have been well enough
when the Acting Rear Admiral was holl.

ment to the temporary rank of the higher
officer carried with it a claim to higher
honors and cOuTtesles of that rank. which
include the hosting of ITS flag and salute
OF thirteen guns which he previously de-
lvered to Rear Admiral Bcnham. The
alleged breach of naval etiquette caused
great astoulshment among the officers OF
the Charleston, who felt almost as much
hurt as their commander did. Acting
Rear Admiral Brown determined to have
the matter set right at once. and wrote to
Secretary Tracy, detailing the entire cir
cumstance. 10 reply the Secretary com
muaicated with Rear Admiral Beuham
announcing that Acting Rear Admiral
Brown was entitled to all the honors of
the rank he held, ofwhich very important
fact Rear Admiral Benham would hereaf-
ter please take notice and act accordingly.
Acting Rear Admiral Brown has received
a copy OF this letter, and it its provisions
are not observed in the future the warmcst

NEW ORLEANS, March l3.-The
HenIessy case-the trial of nine
SicilIans for the assassination of Chief of
Police Hennessey last October-was CON
cluded this afternoon, the jury bringing
in a verdict of not guilty as to six of the
accused-Macheca, the two Marchesls,
Bagnotta, Incardo and Matranga-and
failed to agree upon a verdict as to the
other three-PolIzze, Monastero and
Scatfedi. As the verdict was read each
person in the court room turned to the
person next to him and there was an
audible expression of surprise and dis
satisfaction. Deputies, however, IN
mediately suppressed the noise and Judge
Baker ordered the jury discharged and
the prisoners he remanded, as there was
still other charges against them in con-
nectlon with the same case. The jurors
refused to discuss with reporters what had
happened in the jury room. When the
iurymen reached the street they we're
hooted at by the crowd who had already
learned of the verdict.

LONDON, March l3.-Tbe Parnelltes
and anti Parnellites are already IN a dis
cord over St. Patrick day. and it is
feared that the celebration will be attended
by many outbreaks between the factions.
The ParneIlite minority of the national
league of Great Britain has decided to
issue a manifesto to the various branches,
explaining their position. The members
in favor of Parnells retention of the
leadership will be asked to take no action
calculated to accentuate the split. and in
the event OF any attempt by the other
side to utilize st. Patrick's day cclebra-
tons for making personal attacks upon
the members Of Cork, the Parncllitcs
will be urged to maintain as patient n de.
mcanOr as possible. There is reason 20
apprehend, however, that this good ad-
vice will not be universally accepted, even
in England, and in Ireland the feast of
the patron saint is looked forward to with
many misEivings. 1t is said that Balfour
has given orders that all the constabulary
be kept on duty on that day, and large
bodies are to be concentrated wherever
there IS the most danger OF rioting. Mr..

thought that the presentation of a bill by
