COWDENSED NEWS. Curds in a queer Place. [B. P. Taylor In The Manhattan.] "Clubs are trumps!" That is what I heard in war-time, in the lull between two battle, away down in Chattanooga. I was in an old southern cemetery. It was a December day; the roses were not gone, and butterflies, the symbols of immortality, were slowly opening and closing their large wings in the last warm sunshine of the year. I looked around but nobody was in sight. All was still. Again there came a voice, "The ace of hearts takes the trick I" At last I saw, a little way off, a vault Three steps led down to it, and the door was ajar. Descending the broken stairs, I put a hand on the unwilling door. It yielded, and a curious interior was revealed. It was a little room, dimly lighted, whose only furniture consisted of coffins, and around one of them that rested upon trestles were three soldiers. There were only four sound arms and five legs to divide among them. The/ had pulled two coffins from the wall to serve for ■eats, and they were in the midst of a gamo of cards. They looked up an instant and went on with the deal and the play. Nothing equals the nonchalance of veterans atD the front, where the hum of bullets is as familiar as -tlio hum of bees among the clover. I looked on awhile, and stepped up and out into the free air. Near me was a small marble lamb lying upon a slab, meaning: Secretary Lincoln's Very pointed VMrleen Persons III Proas Aliased The London fisheries exhibition lias been closed.

Washington, Nov. 1.—Secretary Lincoln has written a pointed. letter to the chief signal officer, U. 6. A., in whioh he reviews at length his letter of the 10th inst., inclosing the report of Lieut. GArlington upon the expedition sent to the Arctic seas for tho relief of the Greely expedition. He points out a number of discrepancies and incloses thorn in tabulated form. After critizing the failure of Lieut. Garliugton to keep his ship, the Proteus, .in company with the Yantic in Godhaven he says: "1 am not satisfied with Lieut. Garlington's explanation of the causes which led him into the very grave and perhaps fatal error of going south from Littleton island after the loss at the Proteus. If he bad remained thare he Would have been succored by the Yantic in eight days and a relief station for Lieut. Greeley's party would have been established. The loss of the Proteus would then have been little more than an inconvenience. 1 cannot understand how it was that while on July 23, on his way north, when in his own words the weather was perfect, calm, warm delightful, * * * there was no ice as far as could be seen from the crow's nest with the aid of a vary powerful telescope, he felt so safe even away from all communication with the Yantic that he saw no necessity of making a base of supplies at Littleton Island, yet four days later at the same place he did not suppose the Yantic could gui up to where he was and so put to sea with uii his party in small boats in an arctic ocean."

His wife purchased some bread and milk from Weiler's grocery, at 321 Clark street, at which the whole family, contesting of Mr. and Mrs. Dogan and six children, partook of supper Monday night. They also ate some meat which wus purchased from a butcher on Freeman avenue, between Clark and Oebler streets. About 8:80 p. m., shortly after supper, all the children, ranging in ago from one to ten years, were taken violently ill, vomiting and complaining of pains in the stomach. Dr. Pott, who lives close by, was called and pronounced the sickness the effects of poison. The children continued very sick until about three next morning, when they began to recover, and all are now nearly well. Tuesday morning Mrs. Lehman, who lives at 338 Clark street, purchased bread and milk from Weiler'l grocery, of which she, her hasband and children ate. The children were taken ill. The little girl died, but the little boy recovered. Two Misses Davis, who partook of bread tM milk from the same grocery, were similarly affected and are still in a critical condition, but tliey will probably recover.. Tbe wife and child of W. H. Lonsdorff is still sick. A child of Mr. Asher and one child of Weiler, the grocer, are also similarly affected. In all there were 14 patients in the neighborhood, all of whom had partaken of bread, milk and other groceries from Weiler's. and it is supposed tho cause is poisou which found its way into the articles bought at the grocer's shop.

She believes that he killed Carey, but that he deliberately sought the informer out and murdered him in cold blood she indignantly denies. She is well known to the parish priest, who has decided that it would not be judicious to make her place of residence known to the public until after the affidavits have been Bent] to London. She would also, they fear, be annoyed by crowds of curious visitors. She has never bad the advantage of education, bnt her friends say she was O'Donnell's superior socially and" intellectually. She has from childhood been a communicant of the Catholic church, and is naturally of a devout nature. She has been living for several years as a domestic for a family who think highly of her. Batavia, N. Y., Not. 1.—The excitement over the terrible tragedy of Tuesday night is intense and nothing elss is talked about Johnson L. Lynch, a wall known lawyer of Utica, was the victim, hnd his slayer was E. N. Rowell, of this city. Lynch was infatuated with Rowell's young and beautiful wife, and although frequently warned that the boldness of his visits would certainly expose him to danger, 1m assumed the risk, and met his death at the hands of an infuriated and dishonored husband. They were formerly neighbors in Utica, Mr. Rowell removing to , Batavia ten years ago, where he is a member of the firm of Palmer and Rowell, paper box manufacturers, who formerly conducted business in Utica. Lynch and Mrs. Rowell had tea together in the dining room, the wife supposing that her husband hod left on a business trip. Boston, Matr., Nov. 1.—Gov. Butler professes to be eminently satisfied with his campaign in the state. He says he will undoubtedly be re-elected. It is only a question of majority. He has worked very hard, going from one end of the state to the other, and making from, two to five speeches a day. "Tne fight is phenomenal," says the governor. "Nothing exactly like it was ever known before. People outside of it can neither understand nqr appreciate its features or its importance. When it is carefully and intelligently studied, every man who believes in the democratic idea of a popular government will be' with us. The nearest approach to the present situation was in 1850, when the old whig party, which had come to represent the rule of an oligarchy, was destroyed by a popular movement such as this." Precautions have been taken in Glasgow against explosions on railways and in public buildings. There are no new developments in the London explosion. It is generally conceded to be the work of fenians. In the Belvidere, N. J., jail, Smull, the alleged horse thief, entered on the twentyfourth day of his voluntary fast. In Virginia negro rioters disturbed a political meeting. Shooting followed, and the leader of the assailants was shot. Five thousand dollars in one and two dollar notes have been stolen from the Dominion government in Ottawa, Canada. Delegate Cannon, of Utah, in an interview, voiccs the sentiments of the Mormons on the operation of the Edmunds law. As soon as the tragedy became known on the streets a vast crowd flocked to the house. Those who heard the shots and arrived early met a shocking sight. Upon crossing the threshold Lynch lay dead upon the carpet in the hall at the foot of tho stairs. He was in his shirt sleeves, and was divested of hat and shoes. His feet were toward the street door and his head reclined in a pool of blood. Rowell, his murderer, stood calmly at the side of his victim. "Do you mean that the right of suffrage is restricted in this state!" Gov. Cleveland, of Now York, has again exercised liis merciful prerogative in pa. doning and restoring to citizenship a convict.There is no flock, however watched and tended. But one dead iamb is there. "That is exactly what I mean. It is harder for a citizen to approach the ballot box in Massachusetts than in any other state in the Union. This state should poll, if it kept political step with Now Hampshire and other New England states, about 400,000 votes from our nearly 2,000.000 inhabitants. But the largest vote was 382,000 in 1880, or osly 58 per cent of the assessed polls. There cereertainly must be some unusual cause why a good portion of that 14 per cent, of voters do not register their will. Of course, they are not all voters, because we begin to levy a poll tax at the age of twenty—but most of them are. It had lost an ear by a bullet, and one of its feet was carried clean away.

"I have not baen living with Patrick for air yean and over," she laid to a reporter. Then her voice dropped and she continued: "And I am very much afraid I shall never be able to live with him again. I have no complaint to make about him. He is a good, honest man. The only thing about him was that he was such a rover. He often went of! and left me to take care of myself, which I did, and have been doing, this many a day without any help from him. But he is a good man." Secretaries Lincoln and Chandler have hold a lengthy conference with the president, the result of which was an order convening a court of inquiry in the case of Lieutenant Garlington. The board will meet here the 8th of November, 1883, and will investigate the organization and fitting out of the Greely relief expedition party transported by the steamer Proteus, having particular reference to the orders and instructions issued for the guidauco and government of tho expedition and the arrangements made tor assistance from the Yantic. The court will make a full and thorough investigation of all matters relating to the conduct of the expedition, including particularly the failure of the Proteus to keep in company with the Yantic up to Littleton Island or its neighborhood, and the failure to establish a well provided relief station at or near Littleton Island, Special advices from St. Johns, N. F., report the loss of the barkentine Jano Hunter, together with eight of those on board. Secretary Folger has telegraphed to Mi-. M. E.

It spread from thence to Joachim, Farm, Mill, Indian and River streets. The fire was checked when it reached West Broad and Indian streets. The elactric light works and Tynan's iron foundry are among the principal places burned. The rice mills and the property on the north side of River ■treet were saved. The most of the houses destroyed were of wood and occupied by poor people. It is impossible yet to give a correct estimate of the losses, but they are put at about $1,000,000. "Are those the abuses you referred to when you said that yunr opinion was, and always had been 'equality of rights, equality of power, equality of burdens and equality of privileges to all men under the law?

The secretary of tho interior has sustained the commissioner of affairs in a decision to the effect that the department does not recognize the courts nf the Indian Territory as courts of rtojrd within the meaning of section 2,1(13 of the revised statutes, which requires that certain agreements made with Indians shall be executed before a judge of a court of record. M"Well, I shall have to suffer, and not you," responded Rowell. "I warned you time after time about this man." '"If I go this time you'll never set eyes on me again.' "They are. Thsse expressions were the outgrowth of an argument to show that the Republican party of Massachusetts has, year by year, been enacting laws for the purpose of preventing men from voting, instead of making it easy for tbem. I suppose it is difficult for a stranger to grasp even a portion of the different elements that enter into this controversy. They are, in a measure, local, and have come up through long years of unrestricted power, latterly in the hands of man whom the accidents of life have made arrogant," Continuing, the governor said it was a fight between caste,a fight between the rich minority and the popular majority. The results will be far reaching and lasting. If the republicans are lieateu, he said, they will stay beaten this time. There is no recuperative power in them. The future will take care of itself. Control of the legislature will follow. Another success settles all questions of party supremacy in Massachusetts, at least, until all unjust discrimination between citizen and citizen is destroyed, and the new force, grown arrogant with a long lease of power, arrays itself against the principles cf free government.

Tho most delicato persons enjoy taking Kmory's Little Cathartic Pills, give 11 wholesome appetite, put now life iu a broken-down body—16 cenla. Washington, Nov. 1.—The retirement of Rear Admiral Crosby, the late commander of tho Asiatic squadron, reveals an interesting condition of thiugs as )» the attraction Washington life, in spite of rank and station, has for army and navy officers. The command of the Asiatic squadron is considered the best in tho navy. It is to that service what the department of the east, with headquarters at New York, is to the army. It is rarely given to any one but a rear admiral; but it appears that all the rear admirals following Crosby will go upon the retired list within a year, for instance Commodore Rhind wits promoted to rear admiral to fill the vacancy caused by Crosby's retirement, but he only holds the rank twenty-four hours, when he, too, goes upon the retired list. Commodore Thomas Pattison will be promoted to be a rear admiral dating from November I, but he will go upon the retired list in February; and so with every man, some five or six, who will come in for the rank of roar admiral during the coming twelve months—all will go upon the retired list. It is customary to give the command of the Asiatic squadron, or any squadron for that matter, to a man who lias at least two or three years of active service before him, but in the present inscance this cannot be done, and so a commodore will be taken. Strange to say, the commodores do not want to go so far away from Washington any more tliau do the rear admirals. They prefer to be on waiting orders here and enjoy the attractions of Washington society. Commodore Davis, who is well down on the list of officers of that rank, has signified his willingness to go to Asia; in fact, he has the same as applied for the command, and he will probably be detailed to take charge of the Asiatic squadron.

Eieltcauit Caused bjr am Encounter Flltecu Lives Lost. Reading, Pa., Nor. 1.—A sensation was created here when Congressman Ermantrout was beaten on the poblio stieet by George Smith, Jr., of Birdsboro, a prominent democratic politician. It seems that the name of Hiram H. Swartz, the democratic candidate for judge of the orphan's court, was printed" on the county ticket instead of being put separately on the judiciary ticket. Smith accused Ermantrout of having this done purposely to accomplish the defeat of Schwartz. High words ensued between the two, when James N. Ermantrout, a brother of the congressman, struck Smith a blow in the face drawing blood. Smith then attacked Ermantrout, when Sheriff OehretJ who was one of the witnesses of the affray, separated the two belligerents. Shortly after the parties again met on the court house steps, when Smith struck Congressman Ermantrout and knocked him down, when he was also kicked by one of the crowd. Ermantrout's faco •hows visible signs of the encounter. The affair, it seems, was brought about through certain letters on Berks county politics which have appeared from time to time in The Philadelphia Times.

Washington, Nov. 1.—Mr. Claus Spreckels will be in Washington as usual this winter to stave off any meddling with his infant industry, the Hawaiian sugar trade. Pferry Belmont proposed to investigate Mr. Spreckels last session, but, although a well meaning young man, Mr. Belmont has not the force nor determination to puslf a thing like that right along. It is estimated that the trade of the United States with the Hawaiian Islands will amount to some $14,000,000 this year. In 1882 this country sold the Hawaiian Island products to the amount of $8,282,000, and bought in return $11,040,000 of Claus Sprcckels' duty free sugars. This year the sugar king anticipates fleecing his countrymen to the tune of $12,000,000. " I want to see you so very much. Have lots to tell you.
