THE FIERY TEXAN MENACED BY AN \ ARKANSAS COLONEL, London, Feb. 10.—The Whitehall Revie* states that Lord Dufferin, formerly governor general of Canada, who recently succeeded Lord Ripon as viceroy of India, has demanded that 20,000 British soldiers shall bC« sent to India as reinforcements. He makes the demand on the ground that the British garrisons and told troops are absurdly weak in view of the prospect of a Russian advance npon India by way of Afghanistan. This is not "{be first time that Lord DufTerin has sounded tho note of alarm regarding the insufficiency of 'the British army in India. Some months ago ho called attention to the great and growing size of the armies maintained by some of the native princes. He pointed out the loes of British prestige and the t'anjer to British possession which resulted from the fact that Great Britain did uot have in all India a foroe sufficient to defeat a combination ol two or three of' the nir ti ,-c armies. At the same time he expressed his determination to equalize matters, either by curbing the growth of the forces in the principalities or by increasing the strength of the British uimy. The pi-esent report in The Whitehall Review is quite in line with Lord Dufferin's previous declarations and with his well known energy and decision of character. On the other hand, the military experts doubt that ho would embarrass the government by such a demand at such a moment when he must know that the war establishment is being dangerously drained to supply the Soudan requirements.

The relieving party had a v«rf" trying experience. Caning down the deep defiles of the. mountain side, dragging the sleds on which tte bodies were placed, sown up in blankets, they were beset by deep drifts, and the whirling particles of snow driven before the howling blasts pricked like so many needles. Fortunately, however, all the brave men returned without having received serious hnftn. Twelve bodies were brought down the canon in mournful procession, single file, and lashed opon the sleds. On tllfe first sled was the body of Mattie Hickey; the next bore the bodies of Timothy Madden, Jeremiah Regan, David B. Evans, James Watson, Barney Gilson and Mrs. Ford, with her baby lashed to. her breast. The last sled carried the four children of Edward Ballou. The following persons reported dead were rescued alive: Andrew White, after being under tin snow 13 hours; Frederick Culipan, after being buried 16 hours, and Mr. Keist, in the drift fl hours. Besides these Mr. Ford, though not covered by tho avalanche, was badly hurt, The body of one of the Chinamen was not found. TBo flro Originated in the cotton on th3 larboard guard of the Ida Darragh, which Uid arrive 1 from the Arkansas river, and a« xmg wind blowing at the time, baffled the effort? to extinguish the flames. The alarm was Sounded and soon all the harbor tugs and the entire fire brigado were on hand, but the flnmw rained such headway that it was impossible to check them in the least, and the lire became no intensely hot as to prevent near enough «•■profcoh.totho burning boat to pull it away fro-u the wharf boat.

Thomas Porterhouse Ochiltree from the wrath of an Arkansas colonel and his glorious vindication of the right of free qwoch are the talk of the town. The first news that the house got of the crisis came from tho Texas colonel himself. While the houso was proceeding with the discussion of the liver and liorbor bill in a humdrum way, the centre doors leading to the lobby were thrown open and the red poll of the gallant Texan flashed like a meteor down the aisle. The wealth of auburn locks was never seen to such advantage before. The hair radiated in every direction except in that intended by the barber. The front part of It concealed the noble brow, and almost shut daylight out of the expressive eyes, and the back part formed a choveaux de frise that would make even an Arkansaw colonel shriek. Had the sanguinary Texan said nothing the house would have known by his manner that something serious had happened. But when he broke in upon the business of the houso shouting: "Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, I rise to a question of privilege. A question of the very highest privilege," there wis a hush. Nxw York, £eb. 19.—Concordia hall wag crowded with rough-looking men and cloudy with the snioke from hundreds of pipes The occasion was a' gathering of men who call themselves "United Revolutionists," or "Anarahists," who had assembled to hear what was termed a memorial service in honor of August Reinsdorf, who was recently executed in Germany. The most prominent person upon the platform was Hcrr Johann Most, apd among the andienca were noticed Citizens Kaiser, Schwftb, Uriiri, Holfy and Witykn. In the gallery were Citizenesses Block and De Rothe Grafin, the only two women present. A notable feature of the gathering was that fiMte was not a single po-1 iceman in the hall or below* stairs, though Capt. McCulIagh had a sufficient force near at hand to repress any disorder that might occur. J.

Herr J. Wityka presided and introduced as the first speaker Mr. Gorsuch, of Chicago; who addressed the meeting in English. Ho condemned the German government for "the murder of Reinsdorf and his associates," and characterised it as "an act of damnable, despotic, outrageous murder." "Wc hold,'' he added, "that tho action or the attempted action of RainsddK in his effort to remove the crowned tyrant was justifiable, because that crowned bead represented the evil that has grown and 1 hat is enslaving the world, sapping the life blood and the energies and the power of the people; and it is an evil that is increasing, crushing out all that makes life desirable, and in the name of liberty, equality and fraternity we, the Internationals, demand the removal of all tyrants, whether they pose in Europe as kings, or here in America under tho form of constitutional republicanism. (Applause.) "We hold with the founders of this republic, the noble men who adopted the constitution of the United States, that the jieople have an inalienable right to destroy those who oppress them, and whenever a government becomes oppressive the people have an Inalienable right to destroy that government. I, as an American citizen who has been in this country for two hundred years, demand the destroyal of every system of government that this world at present witnesses." Th© Matrimonial Troubles of a Cook Who Lout If In Wife and Money. New Haven, Feb. 19.—A mouth ago Frank Tuttle, cook ot the Yale club, mpt pretty Annie McKlenzle, a laundry girl, fell violently in love and Tuesday night they were married: Yesterday he said: "I married  last night and gave her $300, and hi 30 minutes she hod gone." The wife said: "1 married him, bui 1 shall never live with him. He promised to give me #500 if I would marry him, but ho gave me only $200. This amount X nm going to hold on Jp." Yesterday morning the newly married pair went on to Hartford. He tried to arrest her, but the depot apliceman told him he could arrest any other woman, but his wife he could not. Then Tuttle said, lugubriously: "She is gone, and so is my money. I will go back to New Haven add goto work." Before he started from Hartfbrd he_ took a big Jug of whisky, presumably to drown his sorrows. When he reached New Haven he was drunk, and was at once taken to the statiop houso.

London, Feb. 19.—Sir Stafford Northcote, Lord Salisbury, and other leading wire-pullers oT the Conservative party, liad another long oonfcrence last night, 'ffcs views ot the extremists tindlly prevailed against the cautions policy advocated by Lord Salisbury, and it was definitely decided to tight.

Tboy seytn satisfied that if they can force o dissolution of parliament before a series of victories In the-Soudan shall efface the feeling over the destruction of Gordon, they can secure a decisive victory at the polling booths. The resolution therefore will be pressod with all the vigor and eloquence which the Conservative ranks contain, An urgent whip has been sent out requiring the attendance of every Conservative peer and member. , Walling for Reinforcements.

Two men going there to see if they war* Ml got ifl sight of cabin and turned when they saw a snpw slide start, and. in an instant almost the cabin was obliterated in a ssa of snow. The concussion of the slide threw the twp men violently to tbe ground, and they bmried away for tear of another slide, It is reported that a man named McDaniels, living south of. Alta, was killed by the slide of Friday night, as nothing has been seen or heard of him since. In three slides in Alta, allot which oocurred on Friday, 30 persons have been killed. Korti, Feb. 19.—Gen. Sir Bodvers Buller, who was expected to attack Metemneh on Sunday last, sends word that the rebels appeared in such force as to make the result of an attack doubtful, and. in the absence of positives orders to move upon the town, he oonsidered it advisable to retire from his somewhat exposed position and await reinforcements. He therefore abandoned Gubat and retreated as far as the Abu Klea wells. The "Ynovement was conducted bo promptly and unexpectedly that the Arabs did not notice it until several hours after the march had begun, anj the column was not molested. Re interds to further retire as far as Gakdul, and there wait for orders. It is now believed that he wilt be instructed to continue his retrograde movement to Korti, and that no further attempfeto advance Will be made until the rem.vning regiments of the expedition have arrived at this place. Here Mr. Post, of Pennsylvania, interrupted with the point of order that the gentleman was uot stating a question of privilege.Mr. Ochiltree—I want to make a statement which I can substantiate. There is a lobby The Dorsheloaer Hllver BUI. Washington, Feb. 19.—A representative of the United Press asked Chairman Bland, of the house ' on coinage, Weights and measures, if be thought action would be taken by the committee upon the Dorsheimer silver bill before the session closed. The chairman—The gentleman is out oi order. "In gduig out o! this room," continued Mr. Ochiltree, "the gentleman attacked me in the oorridor of the capitol and told mo in a threatening manner that ho intended to meet mo again tor whac 1 had said. t "I want to sta e fur her," Mr. Ochiltree went on, "that I am utteily indifferent as to shielding myself on the ground that I am entitled to protection as a member of the bouse. I am willing to moet him or any one ■else." (Laughter and applause.) Oen. Buller roports that the Mahdi is advancing towaiti Motomneb with 1),000 men, and was within 20 miles of that place when the English began their retreat. An advance force of 3,000 men had reached within' seven miles of Gubat. They were well armed and carried five field pieces. There were a few hisses at this. The speaker went on to say that there are 2,000,- 000 in this country who are forced to wander from place to place beoause 10 per cent, of the population of tlie world receive as their reward for doing nothing five-eighths of all that is produced, while 00 per cent, receive for their unending toil, from six years of age till death, as their reward but three-eighths of the product. It will be better to sacriflcc 10,000,000 pf men, women and children than to submit to this tyranny ten years longer. "Oh, no," he promptly replied. "In the first place, we cannot get the committee together, and in the second place we would not try Cb take action if we could, because it is so late; it would be impossible to secure consideration in the house." * It is an unfiiilin| remedy for DiseMMOTtLe *ttTs*7nvaluabie for Diseases peculiar to Women, and all who lead sedentary Urns.

H*.—It is expected that Pension Examiner Rnthboue will give testimony before Mr. Warner's pension bounty and back pay committee which will make it rather uncomfortable for Pension Commissioner Clark. The two gentlemen are at loggerheads, and Rathbonc claims that his actions daring the campaign were indorsed by Mr. Clark, who was then acting commissioner of pensions, and that when he asked Mr, Clark if he should comply with a request made by ex-Secretary of the Treasury New, and go to Indianajiolis to assist in spotting repeaters, Mr. Clark replied in the affirmative, and added: "Do all you can for the •boys." While the fight is of a personal character, it is being used for all it is worth by Democratic members of the committee to show the connection of the pension office with the late campaign. The Pension Office Investigation. A WediHiR which Excited the Community. Defending George Walnwrlght- "Do you think a majority of the committee favor the billy" was asked. . BiiunNOHAM, Ct, Feb. 19.—Every one has been on the qui vive in consequence of a strange marriage between Harry Baldwin, a young clerk of 23, who is employed in the general store of Frank D. Jackson at a salary of about $400 a year, to Mrs. Charlotte "Canfli'ld, a widow who has already passed hor 75th summer, and who is possessed of a snug little fortune of about (20,000. He alleges that he giarries the old lady for pure love. As soon as it was known that the knot had been tied all the drum corps and bands in town turned out, playing joyous tunes, such as "Come, haste to the wedding," etc. The stieets were illuminated brilliantly,- and shouts of joy went up froip the throats of men and boys. They rang the ohurrh and Its bells and assembled in front jof the house where the wedded parties were, and the C*roofii came out on the front steps and disbursed funds to treat the crowd. Toms Rivw, N, J„ Feb, W, — Lawyer Mark M. Sooy addressed tbe Jury in behalf of the four members of tbe Wainwright family. The state, he said, had pointed to George Wain wright especially as one at the murderers of his father. It was true he wae at home on the day of the murder, but he stayed home at the request of his father. When he was called to the stand, this boy,'who had been reared in the woods without the chanoe to secure an education, had given his evidence frankly and honestly. The state had shown no possible motive in his case. He had been questioned several times by officials, but he told every one the same story he had told on the witness stand. Mr. Sooy said the bullets found in Wainwright's body were mot formed from the piece of sheet lead found in Wainwright's house. Sheet lead could not be made into bullets without showing the places where the thin sheets had been pounded together. The evidence had shown that none of tbe instruments of death was in the possession of the defendants. Mr. Sooy was followed by Lawyer Isaac W. Oarmichael, who was also for the prisoners. Mr. Hoi man then said that he had offered his amendment at the request of a gentleuian who seemed well informed upon the subject, and wfiose name he believed was Alexander. The proposition was fair upon its face, and he (Mr. Holinan) felt it his duty to submit it to the committee. "Why do the friends of the bill want it passed f' "No, I do not." He then read the resolutions to the effect that they are a unit in action with one neverto-be-forgotten oomrade, August Reinsdorf, pledging devotiou equal to his to the cause of the social revolution; tbat they coudemn the judicial murder of August Reinsdorf, and rejoice tbat the villain who was instrumental in hi* condemnation has fallen at the%and of the avenger, meeting a richly deserved fate; that knowing full well the position of' the oppressed of all countries in their struggle against the oppressor, they heartily indorse the Irish in their use of dynamite against the too long endured brutality of Britain, holding that any means are justifiable to achieve the independence of a people, and that "we execrate and condemn tin infamous action of the police lately perpetrated in this ball against a peaceable assemblage of Workingmen who were but exercising their natural and constitutional privileges; that we heartily indorse tho propaganda of action and welcome with joy the dawn of the feocial revolutions." The resolutions were adapted. "I cannot say. If they have any good reasons for its adoption they do not give them to the committee. Altogether, I think the bil, and the remarks which have been submitted upon it will only serve as history for future Mr. Ochiltree—Nobody impugns your motives. Nothing is further from my thoughts. I have the moCt distinguished appreciation for the gentleman from Indiana. Carton's Patent Gas-Mgtr. H6t Afr Fi Inland Stanford's Aim In L. ife. Chicago, Feb. 19.—Loring Pickering, editor of The San Francisco Call, who was at the Palmer house, said: "The prevailing impression is that Lcland Stanford will devote his Immense fortune to public ends. HC has.* man looking ova- various plans. Among them are plans for a school for tht mechanical training of workman, which nil) be at Henlo Park, and a great museum it San Francisco. The latter was the project of the dead son, and his ideas will be faithfolly carried out. Mrs. Stanford has been on the grave's brink for several years, and 1 am .convinced that it is the aim of both hei and her husband tc give the remainder oi their lives, together with their fortune, to the general good of the state." Contrary to tho general opinion of the house, Ochiltree was telling the truth. It apueors that Col. Alexaiyler was in the gallery when Col. Ochiltreo first reflected upon his character, and went down in the corridor to await the latter's coming down from the chamber. Col. Alexander is a burly, broad-shouldered gentleman, v/itli the rich glow of a Texas sunset on his visage and the air of a man who could not safely be trifled with. As the gentleman from Arkansas met the gentleman from Texas ho said, reproachfully, "Torn, that am'c treating me right to talk about my leaviug Texas for Texas' good. You know my reputation in Galveston. urnace. i Hr Dr. Goersen Must Hunfe. Harrisburg, Feb. 19.—At the meeting of the pardon board several important cases were heard. The case of Dr. Goersen, the Philadelphia wife murdorer, came up on an application for a rehearing. The ground for this appeal was an alleged confession of Hadie Bonders, an important witness at -the trial. The district attorney of Philadelphia opposed the application, on the ground that the alleged confession was the result of a conspiracy. Miss Soudors was present and maintained that her first testimony was true. The hoard refused tKte application, thus finally ending a case which has been in the courts about five years. Goersen will be hanged March 5. To Clip Jay GonM's Wines. Sr. Louis, Feb. 19.—Concerning the quo warranto suits reoently bronght in the supremo couc& by Attorney-General Boone against Jay ffould and several of bis associates, to show cause why they should not be Dusted for being officers, /directors, etc., of the parallel and competing roads in this state in violation of the constitution, Thomas J. Portia, general, attorney of the Missouri Pacific, denies that the Missouri Pacific and Wabash and Iron Mountain and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas aro parallel and competing lines as ajjeged, and states that a case of this kind can only be determined by a jury. It will, therefore, have to be sent lown to the circuit court for trial. He also ihinks the informations filed by the attorneygeneral are demurrable, and a demurrer will probably be filed in the supreme court. In miy event, he thinks it will be a long tiin» before the case can be decided. "Well, sir," said the gentleman from/Texas, "I meant what I said, and if you want anything further you kuow where I live and can send your card to my room." The next speaker was Herr Most, who repeated in (ierman tho sentiments of the first speaker. The meeting was further addressed by Herr Schlaug in Bohemian and by others in other languages. Niw York, Feb. 19.—The funeral service! over the remains of Dr. Damroach were held at the Metropolitan Opera house. The bonding was pa6ked to overflowing by members of the' profession and friends of the dead musician. The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher delivered the funeral oration. After the services the body was taken back to his residence, where it will remain until it will be taken by special train to Woodlawn for interment.Bnrlml of Dr. Dtmntch, Cteverlj Swindling Untie Sam. "LrvnraeTOK, Moat., Feb. *19.—It is believee to-day that when private intelligence was received from Washington, at Gardiner, that e bill to restore the northeastern corner of thC National park to the public domain had become a law, in a few hours a night stampede was organised, and all valuable coal and mineral lands in that part of the park were covered with location notices. "I wilt see you again, sir," said the gentleman from Arkansaw. "I will see you outside."1 lie .House Committee on Appropriations. The d alogue was enriched with lurid flashes of Texan language that it is not necessary to quot,-. CjI. Ochiltree, looking upon Co1. Alexan ler's words as a menace to free speech, and not alarm 3d for his bodily safety, as his enemies try to make out, shouted "Police! ixtliec!" One of the capitol guards was at hand, and rushed up. Washington, Feb. 19.—There-ore now but two bills before the house committee on appropriations—the sundry civil and tho fortifications. The former will probably be completed and reported to the house to-day. There is considerable dispute over the fortifications bill. The ideas entertained by some of the committee as to what scope it should take aro at very wide variance. A bill was recently reported by the subcommittee which was refused by the full committee, and recommitted with instructions to prepare an entirely new measure. Tho new bill is anticipated not later than to-morrow, when it is thought it will be finally passed upon and reported to the house. It is thought the bill will be similar to thai of last year, and will make no provision for the strengthening of the fortifications. Thore has yet been no action on the proposition to make an additional loan of $500,000 to the New Orleans exposition, and the impression seams to prevail that there will be no action on it. TO THE PEOPLE OF Pittston and Vicinity. We give the names of a few of (h# csajiv persons using the "CARTON" PTrRNACE* this vicinity: St. Louis, Feb. 19.—Capt. Thomas Phelan, Of Kansas City, who was stabbed by Short, the dynamiter, in O'Donovan Rossa's office, passed through the tTnion depot on his way home. He arrived on the VftndaMa train, which barely made connection with the Chicago and Alton for Kansaq City. Capt. Phelan looks wan and nervous and still carries his left arm in a sling. Speaking on the cars concerning the assault by Short, the dynamiter, he said: "It was a cowardly, outrageous attack. I don't know what the outcome will bo with that gang in New York. They seem to be all of the one crowd. I'm glad tQ get back home." • Capt. l'lielau In St. Louis. Columbus, Feb. 19.—The proposition to amend the constitution so as to create a license on the sale 61 liquor in this state was lost in the House, owing to the abeeflce of seven democratic members. The bill was, however, made the order of the day and will be reconsidered next Wednesday. As it if at present, the liquor dealers pay no tax and will not until a bill is passed. ' Liquor Tax In Ohio.
