patch received hero last night announces
the death In Paris OF Arthur Padelford.
No particulars regarding his demise were
included in the cablegram. Mr.. Padelford
was native Of Savannah, Ca, but was
better known in many other cities than
that of his birth. After a careful col
legiate education he went abroad, and
aiter MS return spent some time In Provi-
dence. n. l., New York, Warrington and
Baltimore. In the latter city he was a
member Of leading clubs and prominent

very wealthy and a lavish spender About
elght years ago Padelford married Miss
Bettina OrdWay. daughter Of Gen. ord
way or Washington, a very beautiful and
dashing young woman. A report that Gen.
Ordway forced the marriage at the nuz-
zle Of revolver gave the ceremony
unusual notOricty. The honeymoon was

ter was born to the couple. The chris

Shortly after that Mr. and Mrs padeI-
ford returned TO this country and for a

Binia. During one Of her gay summer
evenings the young wife gained another
unsavory reputation by pouring a glass
OF champagne IN her slipper and daring

long time Mrs. Padelford's experience was
the talk OF the society people OF Baiti-
more and Washington Not long after
this Padelford secured divorce.
The woman was destined to become

DEFEAT or THE DERvIsmEs.
Eight Hundred Killed ana 400 Taken
Prisoners at Firlsct.

a. AAAA~As
Cairo. June 8-Advices received from
Akesheh, the advance post occupied by
the Egyptian troops in the Soudan. this
morning, say that in the battle which
took place between the Egyptians and the
dervishes at and around Firket, 800 der
wishes were killed and $50 taken prisoners
The number of wounded dervshes is not
reported.
The Egyptian mixed tribunal formed
for the purpose OF deciding the legality
of the advance of money from the Egyp-
tlan treasury for the purpose of meeting
the expenses of the Soudan expedition,
has formally pronounced judgment
against the proposal TO draw upon the
commission of public debt for the sum
asked, or any part thereof. This action
of the tribunal was taken despite the re-
fusal of the British and Egyptian govern
ments to recognize the competency Of the
tribunal TO decide upon the question.
The number of Egyptian troops engaged
IN the battle was 1900, while the derVishes
are estimated to have numbered 4j0O
The gallantry displayed by the Egyptians
Is highly praised. Their action in this
engagement bears out the contention Of
those military men who hold that there
had been in recent years a vast change in
the bravery and morale of the Egyptian
army, and confOunds those critics who
declared that the native troops could not
withstand the wild rushes of the derv-
ishes but would become panic stricken
and allow themselves to be Slaughtered
like sheep.
