Sept 88.—One of th« strangest cases aver Mad here is now occupying the attention of tha 8ohnylk.il 1 county courts, and attracts unusual interest. Fiftyfour yean ago Robert War kins, than a young man living at Llangannon, Wales, married' a young woman Ellon Llewellyn, who a few months thereafter gave birth to a son. Watkins repudiated the child and parted from his wife, coming to America and locating at Roaring Creek, near the Columbia county lina. Hare he married a Mary Evans. The first wife went to England and married, and had other children. Two children were born to Watkins here, aud then his second wife died. Some years ago he married Hiss Sarah Feats. Prior to the wedding they made an ante-nuptial agreement by which neither was to have an interest in the other's estate. Hrs. Feats was a widow and possessor of considerable means. WatMns's two children bad grown up meanwhile, and it was in their interest that the settlement was made. Two years ago Watkins died, leaving a will by whioh his property was devised to his son and daughter, the children of Hary Evans. Notwithstanding the will and settlementtlio woman who was Mrs. Feate set up a claim for the widow's dower. While she was disputing about this with the two heirs under the will there appeared two other claimants to the estate. They are young folks who give their name as Parry. They claim to be tfee offspring of the son of Ellen Llewellyn. Among the evidenoen they offer as to the claim is a silver watch which their grandmother presented to Watkins at the time of his marriage to her and which he left behind when ho fled from Oreat Britain, and now, with these complications—already enough to eat up the ten-thousand-dollar C state in lawyers' fees—in steps a Hrs.

Ran Francisco, Sept 22.—The Sharon divorce case has ended after eighty days of actual trial in the court and more than si* mouths of notoriety. Each of ths leading counsel talked for six days, and tho judge and spectators were worn out by constant repotition of the leading incident*. The labor of the judge in reaching a decision is no light one, as the testimony fills twel vc large volumes and the speeches of the counsel half as many more. There is the wildest diversity of opinion among thosj who attended the court regularly in regard to the strength of the plaintiff's case. Sha.on mAdi out a strong yue against Surah Atthea Hid, but ho omitted to prove some essential things, and despite the mass of expert testi money whieb hit counsel introduced the general opinion is that he did not shake the gODUineness of the marriage contract. Judge Sullivan, to whom the case baa now been referred, is the saino man who decided in favor of Squire Dewey in his famoui suit against Flood and the other Bonanza magnates, which drew more than a million of dollars from them. He cannot be influenced by money, and the public has great confidence in his honesty and impartiality. The Corpse of J.

The Cltlaene Aroused—Incendiaries Arrested by the Police-Engines 1 rom the Surroundlug Town* Sent to tbe City's Belief; Loudon, Sept. 22.—The fit of panic from which England is suffsring just now is one of the worst and most prolonged attacks she has bad for years. Nothing is going right There is not a point of the wido horizon of the future which is not darkened with lowering clouds, aud the perusal of the English journals for the last week would convince any foreigner that England had permanently adopted tho philosophy of Schopenhauer. The Khartoum expedition is spoken of in the most despondent way. Tbe frequent changes of plan, the ordering of boats one day, the organization of a camel corps the next, the call already for volunteers from the guard regiments, which are supposed to be reserved as a last resort and finally the lurid and unbalanced telegrams of Gordon, produce an universal feeling that the wbolo thing is going to end in a fiasco. To complete the discontent, thero are reports of a loan being given to Egypt despite the failure of the conferenoo. Lord Northbrook «s described as a convert to the principle of a protectorate, and the public is divided into two parties, the one dreading that oil this money and possibly blood are going to absolute waste because of Gladstone's resolve to fulfil his pledge of withdrawal, and the other pointing to the Outspoken and fierce declarations of even moderate French journals that France will not permit the monopoly of Egypt by England. All attempts to penetrate the design*! of the imperial trio from whose councils England was so ostentatiously excluded are vain. Tons Rrvra, N, J.,' SejSt 22.—Ex-Sheriff Bobbins . had a presentment that Wain- hody, who was so mysteriou.ly murdered on Friday, was concealed in the neighborhood of Rockwell's house, the man who was a friend of the family. Nathan Austin, Zebulon Britton, William Boans. and Harvey R Craft started on a tour of investigation. They fflowed wagon Irackt from Rockwell's little house which led them to the brink of Cedar creek, several inquired yards away. Tha wagon had been (Urucd around at that point and had been taken back to tbe house by another route. As the (our men stood on the brink of the creek, tbey detected an offensive odor and looking around observed two pieces of hempen cord, such as • is used for tying shingles. Tbey picked them up and found they were bloody. The muddy water of the creek for some feot beyond the brink ■M as covered with sc'raggv shrubbery. They located the spot from from whence the offensive odor came, and pushing aside the shrubbery discovered a log, from under which what looked like a man's orm protruded. The log was rolled away and a human body floated down the stream. The men caught the body und made it last at the side of tbe creek. There was not a stitch of clothing on it, and it was in an advanced state of decomposition. It was reCC guized as that of Wo ill Wright, who was we I known to the four men. Beanie an I Craft were ieft to guard the remains, and Austin and Britton jumpd into their wagon and drove,to Toms river to toll the newa « Cleveland, Sept 22.—Two weeks age tho greatest fire in tbe history of Cleveland destroyed a million dollars' worth of prop erty here. Yesterday three fires were burning, tbe loss from which no one can now foretell. It was decided that two woe'.i« ago that the fire was tho result of incendiarism. It Is believed that tho one now burning was started by the same cause. The fire began at 10:35 yeseriay morning, when the flames were discovered in the centre of the large yard of Monroe Bros.,on the north side of the river, not far from the Standard Oil works. There was danger all day that a change of wind would cause the flames to spread to the Standard works in which case th* whole city might lia\e been sacrificed by the burning oil coming down the river.

Tbe flit was put out with little lass, when, at t o'clock, a fire leaped up from a lath shed oil tho north side of the niuo-acre lumber yards of Brown, Strong & Co., a heavy firm. The wind from the south carried the flames nrrthward, burning over half of Brown, Strong & Co.'s territory. The militia were called out and help for the exhausted Cleveland fire department summoned from Painosville, Ashtabula, Akron, Canton, Youn.s-town, Columbus and elsewhere.

Fa., Sept. 82.—The do ings of the "red men" at the residence of David Barnard, a wealthy farmer, who re sides near Brocks post offloo, is told by Tho Democrat as follows: "At the hour of midnight fifty mounted men, disguised with masks and wearing red capes and armed with pistols, clubs, etc., rode up to Barnard's house and broke open the doors. The\ awakened the family, including the olu man, his wife and four children, from their peaceful slumbers, and administered upou each of the four girls a liberal supply of tar and feathers, covering theui from head to foot. The old man interfered, but was overpowered by the numbers against him. After accomplishing the oL.jeot of their visii and serving notice upou the whole family ti leave the community in ten days or something worse than tar and feathers would be fall them, the 'red men' departed as mysteriously as they had come, disappearing ki tho gloom of thi night, firing a parting salute of over a hundred shots and hallooing at the top of their voices."

He Enters a House and Proceed* to Replete with new, bright, and sparkling music, rich and elaborate costumes, magnificent scenery, inspiring ensembles and grand marches. Greenfield, Ma&%, fept. 23.—The little farming" community of' Heath, near the Vermont line, twenty miles from here, was Friday morning tb.i scene of a daring burglary nt.cniej by l-ufllauly anJ outrageous conduct. Mrs. Susan Gale, a widow, lives with a batclielorson in a small ha mlat two or three miles north of Heath post office. Blie is a lady of about aaventy-flve years of age and of considerable property. Thursday nightshea had at her house her son Philip, who is very deaf; a younger son, whoee homr is elsewhere, and a stranger from Worcester, who was atten ling the Charlemont cattle (how to buy cattle. Mrs. Gale and her eldest son slept in rooms on the ground floor, the other men in the second story. About midnight Ihe old ladr was awakened by a man at her bedside, who choked her go that she could not utter a sound. Ho demanded to know " lu re the money was kept, and finding that it was in a safe in an adjoining room, and that tho key was In her sou's room, the robber dragged her fi-om bed, and placing a cocked pistol at her head, commanded her to secure tho key. He threatened to shoot her if she mude the slightest noiso, and the terrified woman did as bidden. Taking the key which she procured the robber unlocked the safe and took out a $100 bill, leaving untouched a small amount of silver and some United States bonds. Leading her back to her I'oo.a he tiod her to the be l with the bed clothes so tightly that she could not move. Leaving her in this predicament he threatened violence if she made an outcry. After enduring her pain for an hour she gave an alarm and wns released by her son. Russ-il King, nineteen years old, was arrested ou suspicion of committing tho crime. New rubber ovel-shojs were found in his possession that exactly fitted trucks leading to and from the house. King was faiuiliar with the promises, and i* presumed to be the guilty person. Act with Little Ceremony. A 8UPERB CH0RU8 All these things land additiolal interest and importance to the really severe panic that has set in on the condition of the navy. For the first time the charges have passed from the unread speeches of expectant officeholders and retired admirals, who are paniomongers by profession, to the columns of popular papers. For once the sardonic and bitterly anti-Radical St. James Uaiette and the vehemently Uladstonian Pall Mall an agree I. The* St James Oasatte sums up the situation by declaring that England has not been the last of her great wars. It adds that, "while a belligerent nation we are more and more doubted, there is scarcely « nation in Europe wiiere we are not detested. There 1* not oue that is not already calculating oil our downfall and the gain to be got out of it" 1 he Pall Uall met the question of the hour with characteristic prompti tiide by devoting twelve columns of its contracted space to an examination of the ooudition of the uavy. Its conclusions are pessimistic in the extreni* THe position always demanded by Englishmen of all parties was that Eivgland's navy should be equal to all the navies of the other powers of Europe together. This is far from being the case now. During the last fifteen years the naval expenditure of other powers has increased forty per cent., while in England it has slightly decreased. So far from being ahead in arinor guns and speed to any probable combination of fleets, she is just u little uhjad of France in ship*, behind her in guns and about equal in armor and s( eed. English guns are iufcrior both in weight and power to those of Franco, and even of Itvly. The [joint that lends additional danger to all this is that now England is abiolutely dependent on other countries, especially America, tor food. The English pu]Dcr» themselves hang upon this as the main change in thg naval situation of the empi.e, and the staid anS almost official Republique Francaise, by way of waring Ellwand against her supposed hostility to France, makes an elaborate calculation on the subject, concluding with the statement that the cutting off of the sea communication for six weclu would moan a famine. These considerations land additional force to th.9 startling statement that tho preparat.ons of England against the Alabamas'of the future are insufficient to allot three to each station, and that for 19,000 merchant aien scattered all over the world there are anly four unarmored vessel* of a speed exceeding fourteen knots an hour. Finally, a terpodo service U absoluely non-existent. OF THIRTY YOUNO, FREHH VOICES. THEIR OWN ORCHESTRA, AND Miss Jeannie Winston, Louise Manfred, flam Btatmore, C. M.

He charged on "information and belief that Rockwell had murdered James Wainwright, had stripped the body of the clothing in the hope of preventing identification and had hid it in the creek in which it was found. Britton made a similar affidavit A warrant was made out by Prosecutor Hiddleton and signed by 'Squire Wilkes. It was given to ex-Sheriff Bobbins to execute, who. accompanied by two constables, drove to Rockwell's hause, which is on the main street near the middle of the yillage.

The lota already reaches $250,0001 It fa admitted the fire was started out of revenge, in a spirit of communism, and the feeling among the business men is intense. The fire is burning lesi fiercely, but a low of $250,000 under such circumsiances strikes businesi men with terror. Whin the first fire war burning Chris. Schweitzer was beard to say: "There will be another fire within an hour," and there was. He was arrested at the fir* and hnTied away from an anjry crowd to the Central station. At 7 o'clock another flre was discovered by Thomis O'Connor in Bell, Carhart A Co.'s large lumber-yard in another section of the city. The lumber was found to be saturated with petroleum, a bottle pvtly full of which was found near. Only prompt action prevented another disastrous fire. The flames were only checkwl by the action of a businesi man named T. C. Todd, who gave the hesitating laborer* checks in advance to rush intoothe terrible beat and tear down lumber-piles. There are now thirteen enginea here froir twelve neighboring cities. The run from Elyria, thirty-eight miles, was made in twenty-six minutes, and the 8andu«IULCflre apparatus cama at the rate of a mile a minute. Engines from Akron, Elyria, Gainesville. Sandusky ancf Ashtabula are now in service, and those from Columbus, Delaware, Galion, Oberlin and Toledo are held in reserve in cose of more incendiarism. The morniug showed ten acre* in blackened ruins, eight million feet of lumber destroyed and a hundred men thrown out of work. Browne, Strong & Co., whose lost k $100,000 and whose yards are still burning, will be unable to resume business until spring. Monroe Brothers, who in March, 1888, sustained a loss of $86,000 by flood, have lost $60,000 to-day. - THE NATIONAL QAME. The Records of All Clabs to Date. Providence Easily Winner.

Sept 88.—One of th« strangest cases aver Mad here is now occupying the attention of tha 8ohnylk.il 1 county courts, and attracts unusual interest. Fiftyfour yean ago Robert War kins, than a young man living at Llangannon, Wales, married' a young woman Ellon Llewellyn, who a few months thereafter gave birth to a son. Watkins repudiated the child and parted from his wife, coming to America and locating at Roaring Creek, near the Columbia county lina. Hare he married a Mary Evans. The first wife went to England and married, and had other children. Two children were born to Watkins here, aud then his second wife died. Some years ago he married Hiss Sarah Feats. Prior to the wedding they made an ante-nuptial agreement by which neither was to have an interest in the other's estate. Hrs. Feats was a widow and possessor of considerable means. WatMns's two children bad grown up meanwhile, and it was in their interest that the settlement was made. Two years ago Watkins died, leaving a will by whioh his property was devised to his son and daughter, the children of Hary Evans. Notwithstanding the will and settlementtlio woman who was Mrs. Feate set up a claim for the widow's dower. While she was disputing about this with the two heirs under the will there appeared two other claimants to the estate. They are young folks who give their name as Parry. They claim to be tfee offspring of the son of Ellen Llewellyn. Among the evidenoen they offer as to the claim is a silver watch which their grandmother presented to Watkins at the time of his marriage to her and which he left behind when ho fled from Oreat Britain, and now, with these complications—already enough to eat up the ten-thousand-dollar C state in lawyers' fees—in steps a Hrs.

Ran Francisco, Sept 22.—The Sharon divorce case has ended after eighty days of actual trial in the court and more than si* mouths of notoriety. Each of ths leading counsel talked for six days, and tho judge and spectators were worn out by constant repotition of the leading incident*. The labor of the judge in reaching a decision is no light one, as the testimony fills twel vc large volumes and the speeches of the counsel half as many more. There is the wildest diversity of opinion among thosj who attended the court regularly in regard to the strength of the plaintiff's case. Sha.on mAdi out a strong yue against Surah Atthea Hid, but ho omitted to prove some essential things, and despite the mass of expert testi money whieb hit counsel introduced the general opinion is that he did not shake the gODUineness of the marriage contract. Judge Sullivan, to whom the case baa now been referred, is the saino man who decided in favor of Squire Dewey in his famoui suit against Flood and the other Bonanza magnates, which drew more than a million of dollars from them.

The Cltlaene Aroused—Incendiaries Arrested by the Police-Engines 1 rom the Surroundlug Town* Sent to tbe City's Belief; Loudon, Sept. 22.—The fit of panic from which England is suffsring just now is one of the worst and most prolonged attacks she has bad for years. Nothing is going right There is not a point of the wido horizon of the future which is not darkened with lowering clouds, aud the perusal of the English journals for the last week would convince any foreigner that England had permanently adopted tho philosophy of Schopenhauer. The Khartoum expedition is spoken of in the most despondent way. Tbe frequent changes of plan, the ordering of boats one day, the organization of a camel corps the next, the call already for volunteers from the guard regiments, which are supposed to be reserved as a last resort and finally the lurid and unbalanced telegrams of Gordon, produce an universal feeling that the wbolo thing is going to end in a fiasco. To complete the discontent, thero are reports of a loan being given to Egypt despite the failure of the conferenoo. Lord Northbrook «s described as a convert to the principle of a protectorate, and the public is divided into two parties, the one dreading that oil this money and possibly blood are going to absolute waste because of Gladstone's resolve to fulfil his pledge of withdrawal, and the other pointing to the Outspoken and fierce declarations of even moderate French journals that France will not permit the monopoly of Egypt by England. All attempts to penetrate the design*! of the imperial trio from whose councils England was so ostentatiously excluded are vain.

Tha wagon had been (Urucd around at that point and had been taken back to tbe house by another route. As the (our men stood on the brink of the creek, tbey detected an offensive odor and looking around observed two pieces of hempen cord, such as • is used for tying shingles. Tbey picked them up and found they were bloody. The muddy water of the creek for some feot beyond the brink ■M as covered with sc'raggv shrubbery. They located the spot from from whence the offensive odor came, and pushing aside the shrubbery discovered a log, from under which what looked like a man's orm protruded. The log was rolled away and a human body floated down the stream. The men caught the body und made it last at the side of tbe creek. There was not a stitch of clothing on it, and it was in an advanced state of decomposition. It was reCC guized as that of Wo ill Wright, who was we I known to the four men.

Greenfield, Ma&%, fept. 23.—The little farming" community of' Heath, near the Vermont line, twenty miles from here, was Friday morning tb.i scene of a daring burglary nt.cniej by l-ufllauly anJ outrageous conduct. Mrs. Susan Gale, a widow, lives with a batclielorson in a small ha mlat two or three miles north of Heath post office. Blie is a lady of about aaventy-flve years of age and of considerable property. Thursday nightshea had at her house her son Philip, who is very deaf; a younger son, whoee homr is elsewhere, and a stranger from Worcester, who was atten ling the Charlemont cattle (how to buy cattle. Mrs. Gale and her eldest son slept in rooms on the ground floor, the other men in the second story. About midnight Ihe old ladr was awakened by a man at her bedside, who choked her go that she could not utter a sound. Ho demanded to know " lu re the money was kept, and finding that it was in a safe in an adjoining room, and that tho key was In her sou's room, the robber dragged her fi-om bed, and placing a cocked pistol at her head, commanded her to secure tho key. He threatened to shoot her if she mude the slightest noiso, and the terrified woman did as bidden. Taking the key which she procured the robber unlocked the safe and took out a $100 bill, leaving untouched a small amount of silver and some United States bonds. Leading her back to her I'oo.a he tiod her to the be l with the bed clothes so tightly that she could not move. Leaving her in this predicament he threatened violence if she made an outcry. After enduring her pain for an hour she gave an alarm and wns released by her son. Russ-il King, nineteen years old, was arrested ou suspicion of committing tho crime.

Act with Little Ceremony. A 8UPERB CH0RU8 All these things land additiolal interest and importance to the really severe panic that has set in on the condition of the navy. For the first time the charges have passed from the unread speeches of expectant officeholders and retired admirals, who are paniomongers by profession, to the columns of popular papers. For once the sardonic and bitterly anti-Radical St. James Uaiette and the vehemently Uladstonian Pall Mall an agree I.

It adds that, "while a belligerent nation we are more and more doubted, there is scarcely « nation in Europe wiiere we are not detested. There 1* not oue that is not already calculating oil our downfall and the gain to be got out of it" 1 he Pall Uall met the question of the hour with characteristic prompti tiide by devoting twelve columns of its contracted space to an examination of the ooudition of the uavy. Its conclusions are pessimistic in the extreni* THe position always demanded by Englishmen of all parties was that Eivgland's navy should be equal to all the navies of the other powers of Europe together. This is far from being the case now. During the last fifteen years the naval expenditure of other powers has increased forty per cent., while in England it has slightly decreased. So far from being ahead in arinor guns and speed to any probable combination of fleets, she is just u little uhjad of France in ship*, behind her in guns and about equal in armor and s( eed. English guns are iufcrior both in weight and power to those of Franco, and even of Itvly. The [joint that lends additional danger to all this is that now England is abiolutely dependent on other countries, especially America, tor food.
