OMAHA, March 2l.-Capt. Galley. in
his defense in the couit martial today, in
troduced a document which threw new
light on the finding of the courl-martlal
trial by which he was convicted in 1880.
In that trial Capt. Galley was convicted
of cowardice for retIeating before the fire
OF a small band of Indians in the Idaho
mountains. Capt. Cath introduced a
letter from Judge Advocate General Dunn
TO the secretary OF war, on the strength of
which President Hayes set aside the find
ing OF the court martial. In the letter
Dunn stated that Galley was in an unex-
plored- country in the heart OF a canon,
where there was no chance Of escape GU
either side, when he was fired upon by
the hostile Indians lie knew nothing of
the force of the enemy and there was
nothing lett for him to do but retreat,
The judge advocate general held that
there was nothing IN the evidence to sus-
tain the charge of cowardice, and recon-
mended that the finding be overruled.
1t was upon this recommendation that
President Hayes acted. Capt. Galley be-
ing unable to get from Washington
papers which he claimed would show that
he had been disabled for active field ser
vice for more than two years, an adjourn
ment was taken until Monday.

Joseph +. Johnston died shortly after II
O'Clock tonight The general las been
suffering for the past three weeks with an
affection of The heart, aggravated by n
cold caught sooa after General Sherman's
funeral. His physicians have been trying
TO keep his strength up Tor some days,
but his advanced age has given little
hope for recovery from the beginning of
his illness The general did not seem to
suffer in the least and was conscious to
the last. The immediate cause of death
was heart failure, a result OF degeneration
Of the heart. due in a measure to a cold.
At times, for about two years.
General JOhnstOn has shown unmis-
taxable signs OF n general break
ing down. His mind often became
bewildered so that he could not tell where

Lincoln was summoned, and succeeded,
with much difficulty, in aTresting the
progress OF the disease Tor 4 time. Prior
to Il week G Yesterday the general
seemed to be improving. but on that
day he went down staiIs without assist
ance, over exciting himself. Since then
he has continued to grow worse until
about e O'Clock tins evening, when the
doctor found him perfectly comfortable
and apparently a little better. There was
no warning that the end was 80 near.
Governor McLaue of Maryland, entered
the room a little after IL o'clock, and az
he approached the beside heard an almost
inaudible sigh, and Gen. Johnston was

PrTTsBURa, Pa. March 2l.-A
desperate shooting ARRAY occurred in a
house at Peters Run, near McKeesport,
tonight, resulting In the killing OF one
detective, the serious wounding OF another
and the slight wounding OF two policemen
aud a woman. Six weeks ago, 4 girl
named Laura Hill entered Smiths
~iewelry store at Homestead. and began
pricing jewelry. While the proprietors
were thus engaged three men forced an
entrance from the rear; struck the
proprietor down aud cleaned out the
store, escaping with IS, 500 in cash and
jewelry. The Gilkiusou Detective Agency
was given charge of the case and not long
after the girl was arrested IN Harrisburg.
She confessed and, acting on her in
structiOns, tonight Chief Detective GilkIn-
son, with Detective Murphy and two
MoKcespOrt policemen, went u the house
of the leader in robbery, A. G. Buud, at
Peters Run. The girl must have warned
Budd, Tor when Gilkinson threw open
the door. Budd threw up a revolver and
fired, killing GilkinsOD. Defective Murphy
leaped over the PROSTATE form and,
facing Budd. a terrible duel at short dis
lance followed. Bpdd emptied uue re-
%volver, and his wife, who was in the
room. ran to his SIDE with an
other. Murphy, though badly wounded.
had also emptied his pistol. and,
stoorinR to the dead body of his
chief, drew his revolver and renewed
firing. He was firing blindly into smoke,
however. while the burglar centered all
hi. shots tnunrd tho door SuddeuIv a
woman screamed and Immediately after
Murphy iell with a bullet in his breast.
During the panic that seized the two
policemen at this second loss to their
ranks Budi escaped. A review OF the
room showed Gilkinson dead, Murphy
shot in the face aud breast, while the
woman received a shot in the arm, and
two policemen were slightly vounded by
the flying bullets. The woman was taken
to jail, while kilograms were sent all over

BERLIN, March 81. dispatches from
st. Petersburg convey unwelcomo IN
formation, pointing to the conclusion of a
formal treaty alliance between France and
Russia. Until recently the ear resisted
all attempts of gong beyond entente with
France, The draft OF the treaty prepared
in Paris in 1887 and approved by De
GERS, Grand Duke Nicholas and ElaIi-
mir aud other chiefs Of the imperial
council on the part of Russia, and which
was thea rejected by the car, WIS again
presented to him after the late elections
in France had confirmed the permanencv
OF the republican form of government in
that country, and was again rejected. 1t
has finally received his sanction. As an
event of such immense international inn
D%oTtance as this cannot be kent secret, it
is expected De Giers will cause some in
formal notification to reach other govern
ments. As corrohoratory OF the alliance
the car, 1t is stated, has signed a decree
b~estowing upon President Caruot the
grand Gordon of the Order of Standrew,
the highest Russian decoration and one
limited to the members of the imperial
family. This decoration has hitherto
been only conferred as an exceptional
honor on sovereigns nearly connected
with the Russian throne. No open ad-
vice can be obtained regarding the con
clusion of the treaty.

Breaking Into the white Honse.

WAsHINGroN, March 2I.-A Ttle
after s o'clock this evening Special
Officers Dubois aud Kenney, on duty
at the White house, we're startled by a
great crash of glass. II took them but a
moment to reach the window. through the
broken glass aud shutter of which they
saw a mau jump to one side as though
to escape, but before he could effect his
purpose the officers seized HIM and threw
him TO the floor of the porch. He was a
young man of - years aud had on no
clothing excepting trousers, undershirt and
shoes, He had the appearance of being a
raving maniac aud fought the officers like
a demon. His screams brought the presi.
dent and some members of the household
TO the upper windows, where they were
told. in answer to the presidents self-pos-
sessed inquiry. that an insane man had
attempted to break into the house, but
was secure. In answer 20 a telephone
summons a patrol wagon was soon on the
ground and the prisoner was taken to the
station. He has been identified as Harry
Martin, a stcpsou of Senator Vance. He
has the reputation OF being one of the best
all around athletes IN the city, but his be-
setting weakness is drink, aud he is suf-
fering from something akin to delirium

Senator Fair is perhaps the richest man
on the Pacific coast. His daughter Jessie
married Herman Oelnch of New York.
and he has two sons, James Jr. and
Charles. Recently James Jr. was dis
charged from a hospital where he had
been seriously i'll, due to drinking. When
he was discharged some friends persuaded
him to go and see DR.. Brown, the hypno-
fist. who had performed wonders with an
opium fiend. He laughed at it at first,
but went, and the hyptlnizer put him
under the influence and for several hours
exercised his influence on Fairs palate.
At last when Fair was brought back to
consciousness he was told to 20 and drink
no more. The afmonition was not neces-
sarY. Fair could not drink: the smell of
liquor was abhorreut, aud when he drank
a glass of wine it acted as an emetic This
was six weeks ago. The brother, Charles,
went to Brown and the operation was re-
peated in his Gaze with n like result.
Brown left here last Friday for the east.
where he proposed to make a visit prior

there was a surgeon named Douglass
from Ohio. He was youug. handsome,
talented and popular. An attachment
sprang up between them. In course of
time they had become afianced lovers.
There we're other female nurses in the
hospital who envied Miss Pennock, and
all that jealousy could uggest was done to
separate the lovers.
The night before they were 10 be mar
ried a negress knocked at the young girls

door a mulattO baby was put in her arms.
Ii you are going to marry the doctor
you had better take care of his child
said the m The girl tainted, and
when resored to consciousness she refused
to see her lover or listen to explanations.
BrOkenheaIted she left the hospital and
went to her home.
DR.. Douglas tried in every way to
reach her and convince her that she had
wronged HIM, but she would not see him.
Within a short time he died, leaving her
by will all his property, amounting to
$500, 600. She was dependent upon her
labor for a living aud his fortune would.
have made her rich, but she refused to
accept it.
About 1880 she went to Greenport as a
nurse in a wealthy family. Some time
later she learned through one of the
women who had been a nurse 10 the
hospital with her that the mulatto baby
was not the child of DR., Douglas. She
revoked her decision as to the acceptance
OF the terms of the will and determined
to take the fortune and spend it in doing
good to her fellow creatures. Today the
president of the lank in Ohio in which
the securities have beer placed came on
10 Long Island and made arrangements
for the transfer OF the money.

A man with large business iutrre-A
and a handsome income married a lady
who, accustomed all her previous life to
the luxuries of wealth., had never formed
any clear conception of tine worth and
purchasing power of money. For some
months the indulgent husband gratifed
his wife's every whim.
One Jay the lady, to carry L some
caprice, asked for a check for SO large a
sum that the gentleman was disturbed.
He saw that such p~rodigality, if persist
ed in, meant ruin; but not wishing to
grieye MS wife by Il downright refusal
he determined to give her a lesson in fin
ance. He therefore smilingly remarked
that he could not give her a check as usu-
al, but would send up the money from
his store.
About noon the promised money came,
not in crisp bills, as was expected. but in
silver dollars, the sum total filling several
specie bags.
The wife was first vexed, then amused.
and finally, as the afternoon wore away,
became deeply thoughtful. When her
husband came home TO supper she took
him gently by the arm, and leading him
into the room where the ponderous bags
of specie were still standing, said:
My dear. is this the money / asked
you for this morning.
1t is, my love, - was the reply.
And did you have to take this money
all in, dollar by dollar, in the curse OF
your business was the next question.
