Edward Hurleman, of this place; eloped with Henry Wagner, a former lover, a companion and fellow laborer of-her husband, aud a boarder in the family. She took the two young children with her, and1 left three behind to be cared for by the deserted husbaud. The fugitives wore traccd to New York. They soon left that city for the west, however, and all traces of them were lost. Recently the woman was heard from at Detroit, Michigan. She had boon treated with shameful cruelty and was finally abandoned by Wagner. Hha was homeless, friendless and without money, and appealed to her brothers to have'her brought back. One of them went west for her, but could not find her, and came back alone. The broken hearted husband expressed a willingness to take her back for the sake of their little children, but his scanty means bad been reduced by loss of employment while brooding over the faithlessness of his wife, and he could not ■end for her. Accordingly this week another brother of the runaway woman went out, found her and returned, bringing her and the children with him. They were met at the train by the husband, who forgave the woman and welcomed her back. Wagner has gone to the Nevada silver mines Negroes Threatening Violence in Washington, Nov. 10.—The following despatch, under date of Silver Creek, Arizona, October 26, has been received by the War department from Capt. Rafferty, commanding the Sixth cavalry, reporting the capture of the remaining Chericahuas: "My command arrived here at 1 P. M. to-day. Found Lieut Hunter here with a cavalry detachment from Fort Bowie in charge of Gh&ioahuas that had come in and surrendered in accordance with the terms made with Gen. Crook last May. Lieut. Davis and myself counted them this afternoon. Those now here number seventy-nine, men, women, and children. The following information is obtained from the Chericahuas: One hundred and forty-six man, women and children moved in Mexico last May. Of these, Jan is dead; his two children are here. Navajo Bill's brother was killed by the Mexicans. Two bucks were killed in a drunken row by the Indians. Ten men and two women have gone to San Carlos by another route.

The Indians now here have a Mexican child." Out Gen. Crook's Policy. One Man Killed, One Dying and Policy—Received with Applause. London, Nov. 10.—The annual lord mayor's banquet was given at the Guildhall, Mr. Gladstone and Lord Hartington being among her majesty's ministers who attended. Lord Granville, Mr. Childers and Sii* W. Vernon Harcourt were absent. Nearly all the diplomatic body attached to the court of Bt. James were present, including the American minister, Mr. .) ames Russell Lowell, while a large sprinkling of her majesty's judges responded favorably to the lord mayor's invitation. Mr. Ferdinand de Leaseps was among the distinguished guests, but the three delegates from the Transvaal, who are at present in this country, were not asked to attend, the lord mayor, who is a rabid member of the Aborigines Protection society, declining to associate with Boers "besmirched with blood." This is regarded as a delicate allusion of his lordship to the Boer treatment of the natives after the completion of the convention with England. After the usual loyal toasts the lord mayor proposod tho healths of her majesty's ministers. Mr. Gladstone on rising to respond wa3 greeted with a round of cheers. He said that France might rely upon England to cooperate with her in all peaceful enterprises. In alluding to tho foreign relations of Great Britain, Mr. Gladstone said that the government hod fully prepared to withdraw the bulk of the British troops from Egypt next month, with a view to withdrawing them all eventually. While speaking abrnt the relations between England and France, Mr. Gladstone eulogized the work of M. Do Lesseps, and expressed confidence in the bona fide nature of the great Frenchman's proposed negotiations with British shippers for the construction of a second Suez canal, an4 said he hoped i hat M. De Lesseps would yet succeed in dissipating whatever misunderstandings still existed upon this subject in England. Gen. Wright's Annual Report on A Movement in London Against Virginia.

Norfolk, Va., Ntfv. 10.—Tha white people of Southampton county are apprehensive of an outbreak among the negroes. Telegrama have been received at Portsmouth asking for assistance in the event of trouble, and the mayor has a pesse of citizens ready for summons in caso it should come. A drunken negro told the servant of a white family in that county that at 12 o'clock 1,000 negroes intended to slay every white person, from the cradle up, in Southampton county. The white men at Newsoms, Franklin, Boy kins and Branohville were well armed and sent out scouts to learn what was going 'on. It was notioeable that not a single negro was to be seen at their usual places. This gave additional color to the report and the women and children were taken to the woods and a guard placed around them. The telegrams further say that the negroes who work around the railroad stations have not been seen since yesterday afternoon, and that the people are preparing to defend their homes. Thus far no intelligence of trouble has bean recelted here, and it is impoadble to say whether there just ground for the existing excitement and fears. Southampton county was the soon* some years before the war of a terrible insurrection, and it is probable that the traditions of that time have something to do with the prevailing apprehensions.New "Yore, Nov. 10.—About 11 o'olook yesterday a terrible explosion took place on the tugboat J. M. Thompson, which was steaming through Hell Gate, while opposite "Nigger Point," Ward's island. The boat was blown to atoms and splinters and planking were thrown high into the air. The tug sank almost instantly, carrying with it the larger portion of her crow. The upper works of the tug floated away and were broken up on the rocks. There were at the time of the explosion four schooners in tow of the ill fated boat. When the line from the stern of the tug parted the schooners drifted rapidly toward the dangerous shores and shoals of Ward's island, but the several crews proved themselves equal to the occasion, and, running up sail, quickly brought the vessels about and anchored between Astorh and Blackwell's island. One of the schooners aoon afterward hailed a tug and was towed to the city. Immediately after the explosion a fleet of small boats shot out from the Long island, New York and island shores to the rescue of the imperiled crews Among the first on the scene was the police patrol boat, which happened to be passing down the river. From one of the schooners the patrol boat took the dead body of the mate. The body was taken to the Morgue, where it now awaits identification. Washington Nov. 10. — Gen. Wright, chief of engineers, in his annual report says that during tho year operations on the sea coast and lake frontier defenses have been restricted to those necessary for the preservation and repair of the existing works. No appropriations for new works nor for the itodificittion of existing ones have been made past eight years, and to-day, he says, the permanent fortifications of the country are in the incomplete condition in which thoy were left when operations were suspended in 1870, and are rapidly deteriorating for lack of funds to complete them. He invites the attention of congress to the subject in the hope that their careful consideration may secure the means, by liberal appropriations, for the improvement of our tiefeusive system, which is so imperatively domanded by the vast interests it is designed to protect. Concerning river and harbor improvements he presents statements setting forth the condition of each improvement, the extent of the work performed during the year, the amount of money expended, and an estimate of the prdbable cost of completion. Together with an estimate of the amount that rain be profitably expended during tho year Ading June 30, 1885. London, Nov. 9.—The popularity of Sir Moses Monteflore and tho general public interest manifested iu tho celebration at Ramsgate of the philanthropist's centennial birthday have produced a feeling of jealousy and opposition among pronounced churchmen. The Rev. Mr. Stockor, chaplain to the Lord Mayor, has hastened to place himself at t ha head of an anti-Hebrew movement, and is doing all in his power to advertise himself as its leader. He has already announced in the public prints a series of anti-Semitic lectures to be delivered by himself at the Mansion House, in the Egyptian Hall, with the Lord Mayor's consent. The conduct on the part of the lord mayor and Mr. Stocker has caused a general social sensation and aroused indignation among tho friends of Sir Moses Monteflore and Hebrews generally, and they have united in a protest against the use for any such purpose of tho civic building, which has presided over by a Hebrew lord mayor. Alderman Isaacs, himself an orthodox Hebrew, leads the protest. Mr. Fowler, tho present lord mayor, although he has committed himself beyond recall to the Rev. Mr. Stocker, lias become alarmed at the opposition, and in reply to thu protest has agreed that tho lectures shall be of a non-controversial choractcr. Pittsburg, Nov. 10.—A man named Graham, eighty-two years of age, was married to a young woman in her twenties, on Pike street, this city. The street gamins, boy« and girls, in the neighborhood surrounded the place with tin horns and other instruments and serenadod the couple. They also threw a eartload of bricks through tlio windows, which incensed the groom, who called the police. The groom is wealthy, and presented the bride with valuable real estate An Aged Groom and a Tonne Brlds, A Senator Fleet Accused ot Larceny. The engineer of the tugboat, Charles Kelly, was picked up by several men in s small boat and taken to the homoeopathic hospital on Ward's island, with his legs and arms broken and injured internally so badly that his recovery is despaired of. The captain and his wife, the son of the engineer and a deckhand are missing and are in all probability lost. The police in the patrol boat and a small army of men in small boats searched rapidly ih the waters of the scene for the missing persons, but in vain. No trace of the unfortunates from the tug could be seen. The bodies of the lost will probably be found on the rocks off Hell Gate or on the rugged shoals in that dangerous pass. Those on board the tugboat were Captain Eardis and wife, John Kelly, cook, Charles Connors, deckhand, and Charles Kelly, engineer.Yqukostown, O., Nov. 10.—Telegrams and letters and tho copy of an indictment were forwarded here by I. Z. Gilson. chairman of the Erie, Pa., democratic committee, charging A. D. Fassetf, senator elect from this district, with the theft of nearly $100 worth of clothing. Democrats of this vicinity, foremost among them O. P. Wharton, intend sending all the facts in the case toevery state r ffi or in Ohio, and a copy of the record 'to Li. ut. Gov. V at-wick, president'of the senate, and propose to have the matter fully investigated, as was done in the O'Connor case in 1878. This reply, it appears, is anything but satisfactory to the public or to the board of aldermen, and protests are still being sent in. The German Hebrews in the city threaten to disturb the meetings and to interfere with th» lectures, and if they are pcrsistod in riots are likely to follow. Philadelphia, Nov. 10.—The Prww (republican) prints a statement of the situation in Virginia and an account of the murders at Danville, in that state, gathered by Frank A. Burr, the well known writer upon it* staff. He ays that upon informaticn gathered from leading men bitterly oppoeed to Gen. Mahone it is apparent that en Saturday evening, while the negroes were purchasing their marketing for Sunday, a personal quarrel between a white and a colored man was taken advantage of in the inflamed state of the public mind and the whites, assuming that it was of a political nature, bsgaa an indiscriminate firing upon the blacks. The article says that the assailants agree that ■even negroes were kille-' and twenty were wounded, but that testimony is &lD .dant that more than twice that number were killed and wounded. The article is in reply to criticisms of the Richmond papers upon the writer's account of the situation in that state upon the eve of the recent election. The following is the most important part of the article: M. Waddington, Earl Derby and Sir Stafford Northcote who were present, were received with choers When they made their appearance. The Fllfmore Will Contest. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 10.—In the Fillmore will case Drs. Hopkins and Rochester testified that, in their opinion, Mrs. Fillmore was perfectly sane. E. Carlton Sprague, Henry R. Braytc%, Peter Paul, aud Hugh Webster, well-known business men of this city, testified that they had all done business with II r«. Fillmore up to the time of the begiuning of her fatal illness. They were unanimous in testifying that they thought she was sane. London, Nov. 8.—The neat *littlo seaside town of Ramsgate is profusely decorated with banners and illuminated in honor of the ninety-ninth birthbay of Sir Moses Mouteflore, the distiuguished Hebrew philanthrophist and baronet. Tho celebration has been general in its character. The workshops and stores are closed and a public holiday has been granted the artisan* throughout the vicinity. The most noted Jews of England and the continent are in town to pay their respects to the agod philanthropist. Sir Moses receivod them at his beautiful residence just outside of town on the side of Ramsgate Hill. Early iu th» morning her majesty, the queen, sent a Ulograrr, congratulating the aged Baronet on. his freedom from serious physical infirmities *at hi* centennial birthday. During the morning th* mayor and representatives of the corporation waited upon Sir Moses, and deputations froia the schools and churches sang in chorus upou the extensive lawns surrounding the baronial mansion. The children were dressed in whit* and carried bouquets of flowers in their hands. The actlvo duties of tlie reception were performed by the chief rabbi and liia assistants. Among the guestB were Sir Nathaniel Rothschild, representing the 1 tanking house of Rothschild; Sir Julian Goldsmith, Mr. Goschen, David Solmons, and Mr. Mocatha. Letters regretting their inability to be present were sent by the Prince of Wales and Premier Gladstone. THREE PERSONS ASSAULTED. A Brutal Man Attacks Good Samari- tans for Protecting hla WUe. Boston, Not. 10.— Officer Kimball, bearing a woman's cries from Bartlett place, entered the houso, No. 1, whero in one corner of the room was a Mr. Macintosh, the occupant of the tenement, suffering from severe bruises inflicted with a towel roll, which was after wards found in an adjoining alley. His wife was lying in the middl# of the room, with her forehead broken in two places and sevsever&l bruises about her face and head, evidently iuflicted with some sharp instrument. Close by her lay Mrs. Frank Barkley, severely cut about the face and in an exhausted condition. After Dr. E lliott had been summoned to care for the wounded parties, search was instituted for Ffank Barkley, who is said to have committed the assault. He was fonud in an alley in the rear of the house. The story goes tliat he has lived at South End with hi) wife until about a week ago, but that his cruel treatment toward her drove her to leave him, and she went to her ./f-.end Mackintosh for temporary shelter. Last evening Barkley saw his wife on the street and followed her and found her abode. Early in the morning, it is alleged, he entered the house and committed the assault. Fears are entertained that the affair will terminate in a tragedy, as Mrs. Mackintosh lies in a critical condition from the effects of the injuries she received. In the municipal court Barkley was held in $5,000 bail.  Erie, Pa., Nov. 10.—A. D. Fassett, who was elected to the Ohio senate from the Youngstown district, was indicted in the Erie county court of quarter sessions in 1868 for stealing clothing from a clothes cleaning establishment. The fndictment is untried, as Fassett jumped his bail and ran away, leaving his bondsman to suffer. Certified copies have been sent to Youngstown parties. Fassett is here and was advise 1 by a friend to give himself up and demand a trial at the court of quarter sessions next week, but he did not agree to do so. Gen. Pryor and O'DonnelPs Caae. London, Nov. 10.—The Law Journal says that although English barristers in two instances were allowed to conduct cases in United States courts, these were purely civil cases. The Law Journal adds, that, with the best will towards Mr. Pryor, the American counsel of O'Donnell, it is extremely doubtful whether the judgo of the central criminal court eould legally allow him to represent the prisoner in his forthcoming trial. The explosion was evidently unexpected by the crew of the tugboat, as well as the men on the schooners. Various reasons are assigned for it, among others patching of the boiler, too much pressure and carelessness, but none of those theories hava been verified by fact. Nothing will probably be known of the cause of the disaster until the remnants of the exploded boiler are raised and a thorough inspection made by the board of steamboat inspectors. The tugboat is said to have been owned by a Mr. Stump, in West street. STUFFED IN A DOG'S SKIN. A Mysterious Letter lu the Zora Burn* Cue. "In relation to the Danville massacre I took this course. Almost immediately upon arrival at Richmond I telegraphed to Ma], W. T. Butherlin, asking him to give by wire for The Press his opinion of the Danville riot, it* political significance, etc. Maj. Butherlin is a man of large wealth, high positien, conservative views, and is a bitter opponent of Gen. Mahone's. I did not receive a reply from him until too late , to use that night. But pursuing my inquiries among the enemies of the coalitionists I learned from State Senator Atkinson, who represents the city of Richmond in the Virginia legislature, as well as other leading democrats, that the real facta aa to the extent of the slaughter at Danville could not then be obtained. Sen. Atkinson had just returned from Danville an hour before, and he kindiy gave me all the faots he had been able to gather there. From Mm as well as other leaders I learned that the riot had no political significance. From all the testimony I could gather from this class it appeared that the murders ware committed in the heat of passion. When the marketing was at its feeight,a colored man and a white man got into an altercation, whereupon a crowd of whites rushed in and opened indiscriminate fire upon the defenseless negroes. The assailing party and those in sympathy with them say that seven were killed outright and twenty more were wounded, but testimony is abundant that this number does not represent one-half the barveql of death that afternoon, lfot a whito man was hurt by a colored person, and only two were injured, and they by accident in the random firing of their own friends. These facts I state entirely upon the highest authority from the friends of thoas who committed the assault. The coalitionists claim very much more serious things, but the admissions of their opponents are bad enough." Lincoln, HL, Nov. 10.—The prosecution in the preliminary examination of Carpenter for the murder of Zora Burns closed yesterday and the counsel 'or the defense will close his argument to-day. Old man Burus, the father of the murdered girl, was removed from the court room as it is evident his conviction of Carpenter's guilt may lead him to a personal assault upon the accused. A mysterious letter has-been received from New York by Mr. Burns, the contents of which he deemed of the greatest importance and not the work of a crank. It reads as follows: Kelfcr «nd Ike Speakership. New York, Nov. 10.—A Washington special to The Commercial Advertiser says: "Ex-Speaker Keifsr is showing some anxiety about the republican nomination for the speakership. He made himself very unpopular among his republican associates during the last congress when he occupied the speaker's chair by his arrogant maners, and he was especially offensive in his treatment of the representatives of the press during the closing hours of the congress, forcing them to surrender their plac s in the reporters' gallery for his female friends, and meeting a respectful protest by the choice remark. 'Damn the press.' He is now begging for the complimentary nomination of speaker at the hands of his republican colleagues, but be will not get it witlioulm hard struggle. Many republicans who remember the treatment they received at Mr. Keifer's hands will support the nomination of Mr. Hiscock, of New York, or Mr. Kasson, of Iowa, both of whom are favqfites, and very popular. Killed by a Falling Seaflold. Newcastle, Pa., Nov. 10.—The scaffold at Reis Brothers' furnace, a distance of seventyeight feet from the ground, on which four men were working, gave way. James Egan was killed, and William Gray and Andrew McBride were badly injured. A workman named Bullister fell twelve feet, when he caught hold of a beam and thus saved himself.One of the men on the outside schooner said that after the explosion occurred and before the tug went to pieces he saw two men jump into the water. The smoke then covered everything and he lost sight of them. Search was immediately begun by a number of parties in small boats, who were in the river at the time, to find those who were lost. The fireman was found struggling in the water by Mr. William Millner, who keeps a number of bpats at 110th street. He caught sight of him just as he was about to sink and dragged him into his rowboat. Assistance was rendered by the tug D. M. Cox, which was coming down the river at the time, but no other bodies could be found. Mr. Miller, who saved the fireman, is the young man who rendered such valuable assistance at -he time of the Seawanaka disaster."Sir:—Seeing in the papers an account of the death of your daughter, and that part of her apparel cannot be found, I feel oonvinced that the missing articles will be found stuffed into the skin of a dog killed for that pur- An Old Warrior Dead. Sir Moses Monteflore was born in Leghorn, Italy, on the 24th day of October, 1874. Hid father, Klias Monteflore, was a prosperous merchant, and removed to Bngland shortly after his son's birth. Sir Moses received a thorough commercial education, and upon obtaining his majority was admitted to the London stock exchange, where he amassed a colossal fortuno. Ho married when quite young a noble lady, who proved a valuable and enthusiastic aid to him in his philanthropic work. Upon his retirement from business he devoted his whole life and part of his fortune to tho cause of the Jews, who were at tho time much oppressed in Russia and Turkey. During the famine of 18S7 he mad? a personal visit to Syria, where he distributed relief to his starving kinsmen, who welcomed him as an angel from heaven. He made several journeys to Russia, Turkey and Africa, and interceded on behalf of the oppressed Jews, gaining much from the czar and miltan, who were struck by the enthusiasm of the noble man. He founded tho Evilena hospital, and in 1807 he laid the corner stone of the Ramsgate college, where the sons of iinpecuuions Jews are educated free. Dovkr, N. H., Nov. 10.—Gen. Alfred Hoitt died seventy-seven years. He was a major general in the old militia days, and was considered the best disciplinarian in the service. He was a poor boy, but died one of the wealthiest and most respected citizens of Stafford county. He was twice married and leaves a wif» and twelve chil. dren. Respectfully yours, "P. S.

An Imnne mother. Allegheny Cm', .Pa., Nov. [10.—Mrs. Kroll, living in a boat house on the river front, became violently insane and made an attack on her three children with a hatchet and knife, but was prevented by a policeman from doing serious harm. Her husbands death a short time ago unsettled her mind. The authorities have the whole family in charge.  Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 10.—During a higli wind the roof of Jacob Dold's barrel factory and storehouse on Williams street fell in with a crash, carrying with it the upper floor and cornices. There were twenty men in the building at the time and for a few moments there was panio and confusion, mingled with the screams and groans of the injured. Tht whole upper portion of the structure, which was four stories high and of wood, yielded to the heavy gale and was reduced to a wreck. Two men are dead, with at least one uiore fatally hurt. Four others were rescued alive, but badly injured. The ruins have not yet been thoroughly searched. (Tnroosed by a IGale. Atlanta, Qa., Nov. 10.—Last year Georgia collected from the show tax (9,000. Circuses are taxed (100 per exhibition, and other shows not more than C35.

Humpty Dumpty troupes are histrionic, andrin fact every kind of show can find an avenue of escape, so that traveling troupes will be plentiful in this state this year. No Chance for a Circus. Easthampton, Mass., Nov. 10.—A singular accident occureed to H. C. Osgood, a seminary student. On Wednesday evening Osgood and two of his chums "»ent up on the mountain in the afternoon, and in the evening they attempted to make a short cut by coming down at a point where the mountain is very steep and rocky. In doing bo Osgood lost his foothold and slip down some forty feet on the loose rock, but caught a twig just in time to escape death by going over the precipice. His friends could do nothing for him without help, so building a fire so that their rescuers might find them in the darkness one remained to encourage him to hold on while the other student went to the village for help. Men went to the mountain with ropes and before morning he was rescued from his perilous position. A Student's Peril. A Dangerous Female Criminal.
