Famine and diphtheria.are decimating the pulation. The Provinces of Saratof and Bief, which annually export in ordinary times enormous quantities of grain, had seareely any crop last year. The calamity is aggravated by want of fodder for the cattle, andthe peasants are foréed to sell them. In the Caucasus the famincisstill greater, where the people are committing suicide and selling Sir children. i INVESTIGATING. ‘ The dynamite exploded in the Winter Palace was contained in a metal box, the cover of Which has been found, but no electric wire or trace of a battery can be ob- ay DEFEATED, ‘An official dispatch from Douzolum, dated the 15th inst., says an engagement occurred between Russian troops and Turcomans, and resulted in the complete defeat of the Turco- mans, who lost twenty-five killed.

Pans, Feb. 31.—The following is the Czar’s reply to President Grévy’s congratulation ‘upon his escape: “I cordially thank you for thesentiment you express. Thespirit of evil is unwearied, like that of Divine grace. Iam glad to reckon upon the sympathies of right- thinking men.” : HARTMANN. Panis, Feb. 21—The Council of Ministers to-day discussed the question of the extradi- tion of Hartmann. The Russian Ambassgdor promised to speedily communicate the docu- ments justifying the extradition. The Russian’ arrested in the Champs Elysees, charged with being conrected with the Moscow explosion, is named Karl, alias Mayer, alias Hartmann, and is believed to be the same man who rented and occupied. & house in Moscow from which the explosion of the mineunder the railway was operated. Af the fact is established to the satisfaction of the French Government, he will be surren- dered as a common murderer, although there no extradition treaty between France and ussia.

THE WEEK. THE RUSSIAN REGICIDAL PLOT, Spectat Cable. Loxpoy, Feb. 21.—The attempted murder of the Czar’ still occupies x great share of public attention. Sincere regrets have been decorously expressed throughout Europe, with three exceptions: the Continental Com- Mmunistic papers, the Pall Mau Gazette, and the London Common Council. One French journal calls the explosion a political accident. ‘The Pall Mall Gazette, being badly Russo- phobist, seizes the occasion to demand the Czar’s abdication. ‘The Common Council- men who rejected, by a heavy majority, a resolution of condolence, used many expres- sions of insult and hatred during the de- bate. The same Council some years since offered the same Czar. the freedom of the city. This is considered the natural result of the incessant efforts of Lords Salisbury and Beaconsfield in recent ‘years to éxcite animosity against Russia, in- cluding. the Knighthood which was confer- red on one Lord-Mayor for leading a riotous anti-Rygsian demonstration. The incident is unfortunate, because the Common Council is believedon the Continent to represent London, but is really composed largely of the most ignorant, vulgar people in the city. TRANSVAAL. Sir George Colley’s appointment -to the Governorship of Natal is understood to sig- nify a Ministerial decision to hold the Transvaal country at all hazards. Colley is a distinguished soldier, and is now Lord Lytton’s military adviser. Dr. Rus- sell’s warning that the retention of the Trans- vaal means civil war and the permanent ex- penditure of half a million pounds yearly is disregarded. ek THE HERAT BUSINESS slumbers momentarily. The other political news is comparatively unimportant, though Friday witnessed the first Parliamentary field night this season. There was a brilliant audience in the House of Lords to hear the Duke of Argyll’s brilliant two-hours’ speech. ‘The Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke of Edinburg, the Duke and Duchess of Connaught, and many other celebri- ties were present. There was equal excitement in the louse of Commons on ac- count of the Plimsoll debate. The general feeling is that Sir Stafford Northcote was again wrong. 3lost of the leading members urged him - to let the matter drop after Mr. Plimsoll’s apology. ‘I'he press unanimously condemns Sir Stafford North- cote’s privilege resolution as an absurd an- achronism. Mfr. Plimsoll really carries his point, and insures the passage of his bill repulading the conveyance of grain in ves- Mr. James Redpath, now in Dublin, re- ports that he has received letters from almost every barony in Kerry, Mayo, Galway, Sligo, Donegal, and’ South Cork, ‘the counties where destitution is greatest, ranking in the order named. ‘The writers are thostly priests. ‘The letters indicate that the distress is greater than has been represented in America, It is increas- ing rapidly, and spreading in many direction: Fever is breaking eut in numerous districts? The physicians say itis produced by want. Pathetic accounts of nakedness and of é: treme want come from Arron Island, Vale tia, and other isles on the west coast. Simi lar stories come from the Counties of Cavan, Femagh, Leitrim, Limerick, Monagan, and Rosconmon. A Dublin paper publishes a cable dispateh saying that American contributions will now probably cease, because it is reported from Dublin: that the fund there is sufficient to prevent further suffering. Mr. Redpath says no such fund exists in Dub- lin, and, unless liberal contributions con- tinue, he believes that probably hundreds and possibly thousands of families wil) per- ish. Priests’ and prominent laymen from different districts of the west of Ireland, whom Mr. Redpath met in Dublin, confirm the statements in the letters. THE QUEEN’S DRAWING-ROOM YESTERDAY at. Buckingham Palace was slenderly at- tended, except by Royal people, diplomatists, Lord ‘Beaconsfield, and other official per- sons. Mr, Hoppin was present in plain clothes, There were 150 presentationf, in- cluding one American, Mrs. Mahlon Sands, of. New York, by Mme. Von Bilow. There were the usual crowds in the streets and parks watching the procession of carriages. lany carriages were detained half an hour, and ‘ladies in full dress were exposed to the cold. winds outside, suffering equally from drafts and cold and the crush inside, ‘The rain-storm broke violently as the recep- tion ended. The Prince and Princess of Wales drove from Marlborough House es- corted by a troop of Royal Horse Guards. The Queen hurries off to-day to Windsor, as usual. THE LONDON SEASON, notwithstanding two Royal receptions, opens lJanguidly. Few parties are given, as people are still economizing, as last year. Several arawing-rooms and levees are announced, but tradesmen are grum- bling. ‘Many houses are empty, as numerous members of Parliament and other great people are living in hotels and lodg- ings. The apprehensions of a __ dissolu- tion of Parliament greatly interfere with social plans. No certain date for a dissolution has been determined. Government officials say that Lord Beacons- field is watching for a favorable moment, failing which, the session will drag through. ‘The agitation against THE NAPOLEON MEMORIAL in Westininster Abbey continues. Fresh sig- natures of eminent men attached to the re- monstrance_are daily published, including Carlyle’s. Dean Stanley is reconsidering his previous refusals, and agrees to receive on Tuesday the protesting deputations.

THE NUULIST DYNAMITE PLOT. Spectat Gable, Panis, Feb. 21.—The St. Petersburg dyn- amite plot throws the damning of Sardou’s ply into thebackground. Whenastupendous | historical drama is in action before our eyes, who can take an interest in the fall of _a- superficial . playwright, want- ing in invention, humor, fire, and power to stir, the _ heart, draw _ tears, or startle the imagination, and who is merely skilled in a smart dialog and the art of constructing plots which. have the in- genuity of a rebus. I only now speak of “Daniel Rochat,” to correct misleading criticisms written in return for admission to final rehearsal by journalists wanting. to be. ahead. of the event, such as the correspondent of the London Telegraph, who, not anticipating the utter condemna- tion of the piece, did beforehand a on, report, in which he said the play evokes continuous enthusiastic plaudits. ‘The truth is, the audience wearicd of the pretentious homilies, and was indignant at the author's charlatanism. Sardou_ was unable to ack completely the Theatre Francaise, Renee “the finseo. The withdrawal o: the drama -next week is decided upon. The company of the Théatre Frangaise are exasperated at the loss of time and heavy expense in tting up the play, which was rehearsed sixty-seven times. ntending to produce “Daniel Rochat” in ‘England and America, Sardou made the heroine an_ Anglo-American Prot- estant, deducingher ridiculous Protestantism from his moral consciousness. Therumorsanent . - THR CZAR’S ABDICATION AND bebe are unfounded. The object of the dynamite plot, ‘some. think, was to hasten the accession of the Czarewitch. who is openly hostile to the Czar. Others suspect it was the result of intrigues of Bismarckian agents and partisans of the Czarewitch with the Nihilists. This is regarded in some quarters as probable, as the Czar is in Bismarck’s way, the Emperor William loving his nephew too well to wage war against him. Lf the conspirators were un- sparing of soldiers’ lives they were econom- ienl of courtiers, no member of the Im- perial household having been’ injured in the explosion. - The laying of. the mine shows a knowledge of the Emperor’s daily life. The Brown Room is not the ordinary dining-room of the Imperial family, and has been only used as ‘such’ since the. Empress returned home.

Speciat Cable. Duwi, Feb. 21—The distress in Ireland grows more widespread every day. It is only through the admirable macliinery of distribution _ organized the | Mansion House and: Marlborough Committees that actual starvation. is checked. ‘The famine will probably intensify during the coming fortnight, after which for a short period it will be probably Jess severe in consequence of the employment of labor in the sowing of crops. This done, the worst crisis will follow. Jonathan ‘Pim, who is famous for his labors in 1847, said to- day that the worst time would ‘be the last fortnight in May, all: through June, and the first fortnight in gil. This is confirmed by experience, It is also the opinion of every authority on the subject. Mr. Charles Kennedy, an active mem- ber of the Mansion House Committee, told & correspondent to-day that he believed the present Committee could manage the distress for a considerable time, but their funds: would be nearly, if not quite, exhausted when the most crushing crisis arrived. Much doubt was expressed regarding the value of the Government measure for reliev- ing the distress by lending money for im- provements.. These works have been GIVEN TO CONTRACTORS who cannot be obliged, and, therefore, will not ‘employ the — untraine and en- feebled poor for whose benelit the works are meant, but Saly. those men who can d6 the best work for their wages. The temptation to bad landlords to wring profit from their tenants is shown by the following extraor- dinary notice from a Derry paper, issued by a landlord who received a grant from the Government for improvements: “Those tenants who wish to have im- provements carried out on their hold- ings, either drainage, fencing, or roads, are informed that upon proper. ap- plication: money will advanced, ut the tenant must agree to one shilling for every pound spent being added te his rent, Such, Increase to commence in November, If any one doubts the destitution let him read the following, ' SELECTED AF RANDOM from a batch of letters received at_the Man- sion House to-day.

The soil has been for many weeks poor, wet, and entirel unsuited to potatoes. The locality exposed to violent and frequent storm of wind and rain, which often thresh the oats out before being cut. The whole of. tho families reliever are existing only on a half a stone of meal per head per week, supplied by this and other tunds, By'this means many lives were saved at first. Tregret to say that in Glencolumkill, in one family, there were six children ill with typhus-fever in three beds. One of them dicd Jast week. In connection with Donegal the distressed receiving relief increased to 66,000. ‘The Mansion-House Committee on Wednesday voted $10,000 to the Donegal Committee. The Mansion-House Committee are print- ing the New York Herald’s table as a circu- Ij appeal, and are sending it broad- east over Englana and the Colonies. The Freemans Journal reprinted the table, and devoted. leader to an analysis of its facts. The Irish Times says itis clear, from the nature of the subscrip- tions to the Herald fund, that the polit- ical element in the previous movement did not entirely satisfy the American people. Mr. Parnell’s final acceptance of the place upon the Committee of the Herald fund is an acknowledgment, no matter how the consentis disguised ; that what the Ameri- can population desire to do is to acquit themselves of the obligation of human sym- pathy to Ireland, not to engage in any effort to dictate to the people or their legislators on this side of the ocean as to any necessary changesin the law. An increase of about 1,800 destitute persons in County Mayo is re- ported in the last two weeks. THE FREYCINET CABINET, A correspondent writing from Paris says: It will be remembered that when I de- scribed to you the effect of M. de Frey- cinet’s speech on the amnesty ques- tion I stated that the political sagacity, adroitness, and: firmness’ displayed in it would have the effect of reuniting the scat- tering elements of the Republican ma- | jority, and of consolidating them for working = purposes. This is just what is taking place. The party, composed as itis of men of various shades of opinion and of some of insubordi- nate tendencies, yields as soon as it discovers that the -reins of Govern- ment are in the asp of a statesman that commands their confidence. ‘Thus the speeches of MM. Deves and Spuller, representing as they do the two most impor- tant factions of the Republican majority in the Chambers, attest their satisfaction with the Cabinet as at present constituted, and their determination to give itan effective support so long as it continues faithfully to carry out its. program. The promises of union and ‘combined action have been hailed with gladness and hopefulness by all the friends and well-wishers of Republican in- stitutions, and for the first time for a long period we have a Ministry | which offers us a prospect of durabil- ity. The attempt on the life of the Emperor of Russia has been artfully seized upon by the Republican press to strengthen its cause. The fact cannot be denied that the internal condition of France under its present institutions offers a striking contrast to that of almost: every country of Europe boasting of monarchical forms of goyern- ment, At no period of his history has it en- joyed more profound domestic tranquillity, and certainly at no period has it been in fuller possession of its liberties. It is not, therefore, to be wondered at that the conclu- sions to which these facts point should be dwelt upon with pride and satisfaction by the partisans of the new order of things. La France and other Republican journals denounce the arrest of Hartmann, alias layer, by the French police on the charge of hav been affiliated with a secret so- ciety having ‘for its object a plot against the life of the Czar. The arrest was made at the demand of the Russian Embassy. Now, as Russsia has no treaty of extradition with France, it is contended by these journals that the arrest is illegal and a violation of in- dividual-rights. THE FRENCH ACADEMY has always piqued itself on its peculiar lit- erary character, Whether the latest addi- tion to this venerable institution is likely to enhance its literary lustre may well be questioned. The Duke D?Audifiret Pas- uier’s claim to scholarship rests upon the slenderest foundation, He may have mastered the three R’s in his youth, but he has very recently proved that if he has learned much he has also forgotten more. A short time back all Paris went into ecstasies over the Duke's curious fancy for. spelling “academie” with two c’s. His classics, to judge from his only recorded quotation, are rusty. -His French has never been polished. His oratorical display. at his solemn recep- tion (the adjective for once is appzopri- ate) by the Immortals showed him to be as conventional as M. iel- castel _ himself. Yet he is now an academican and sits beside a Victor Hugo, a Dumas, and a Sardou, while men like Louis Blanc and Le Conte De Lisle are ex- cluded from the sanctuary. But, to be sure, he is a Duke, ; SARDOU. has had to endure much this weck, but it is doubtful whether he will have felt any ‘of the sarcasms flung at him so much as he will fee! the approval which Zola reserves for him, they say, in his next. dramatic feuilleton. ‘fo be condemned by hostile, erities is hard. To be patted on the back by a man for whom Sardou has - publicly expressed his contempt, isharder. Zola and his imitators seem to be dropping out of fashion. The publica- tion of “Nana” ‘has disgusted every one and blinded them to Zola’s real qualities, Nor is a story in this week’s Police reports likely to rekindle the waning popularity of naturalism. A irl of respectable family, almost “a child, comnnitted — suicide the other day from sheer disgust and weariness of life. On opening her room an open vol- ume ot “Nana” was found on the table. A too diligent study of naturalistic novels is supposed to have inspired her with her fatal resolution. AN OLD SCANDAL, affecting the reputation of a French Senator, has just been revived and aggravated. In 1878’ Comte De Douhet and “a chevalier d@industrie styling, himself _-Vicomte De Breuil, were sued by a Bile. Volkening for 10,000 francs due her, and condemned to pay, Vicomte De Breuil then fled, and Mile. Volkening fell back on Douhet. She had his Senatorial salary of 16,390 francs attached. Hearing this, numerous other creditors followed her example. At last claims for 1,570,000 franes _ were made. ‘There were only 16,390 francs assets. Comte de Douhet then thought it time to imitate De Breuil. He bolted, leay- ing no address. Mie. Volkening put in. an execution at his house, where very little was found. uddenly up started Comte De Lorgeril, Comtesse De Dou- het, and M. Albert De Douhet, to oppose the seizure of certain objects, nota- bly two hats, an umbrella, and four shirts. The Tribunal, after hearing both sides, has just decided in favor of Mlle. Volkening, Who ‘will retain the shirts, hats, and even the umbrella, while Lorgeril and the two other opposing parties are muleted in costs and condemned to pay Volkening 50 francs damages, which is considerably more than the value of the objects in dispute. MUSICAL PARIS has been considerably startled by the an- nouncement of the six Wagner concerts which are’ shortly | be given by Mme. Judith Gautier at the rooms of ‘the witty aeronaut and photog- rapher, Nadar. .Much ‘has been done by Pasdeloup and_others for the musical ed- ueation of the Parisians. Since “Tann- hauser” was hissed down unheard at the Grand Opera «by a . ridiculous cabal of the- Jockey Club, “Lohengrin” has been applauded at the Cirque. The “Rienzi” overture has excited en- thusiasm at the Chatelet. ‘The public has been prepared to admire Wagner. After frequent performances of the works of Berlioz, even the Bayreuth tetralogy, prop- erly executed, would probably command a respectable hearing. At these concerts the orchestra is to be replaced by four pianos, and there will be no chorus. Ben- jamin Godard, the young and remarkable composer of many charming works, is to conduct the execution, of a new “ Kermesse” at the Cirque. A new composition from the poet M. Saint-Siens, is promised. SYMPATHY FOR IRELAND. The French Committee for the relief of Irish distress, of which the Cardinal Archbishop of Paris is President, is out with its appeal this evening. It affirms a format resolution to observe strict neutral- ity on the questions which divide the parties in Ireland, and its freedom from + political preoccupations of any kind; but it is not (the less -a fact that out of forty-three names on the Committee there are but two or three which are not decidedly: clerical. _ Those _ of the Duke De Broglie, Duke Bisacca, Gen. Chabaud Latour, Count Albert De Mun, Baron Reille, and M. Chemelong sufficiently indicate its general complexion. The Herald Irish relief fund has reached the sum of $237,101.77. VARIOUS.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Feb. 21.—Col. Synge, whom Sir Austen Layard sent last month to distribute relief among Mussulman refugees in Eastern Roumelia, has been captured with his wife by Greek brigands near Salon- iea.

Synge writes the British Consul at Salonica, urging him to prevent the dispatch of troops, as the brigands threaten to kill him and his wife if an armed force is sent against them. Sir Austen Layard has ordered the British gunboat Rapid to Salonica to inquire the best course to pursue for their liberation. REPORTED SUICIDE. Pants, Feb. 21.—M.

A FRIGHTFUL PICTURE. New You, Feb. 21—A morning paper makes an exposure of the Bellevue Hospital inethods this morning, presenting a chapter in the history of inhuman treatment whicn thrills the city with horror. Patients have been brought there and died, and when friends have claimed the bodies they have been met with excuses, such as that immedi- ate burial was necessary, and, when disinter- ment has been demanded, a bundle of dis- sected human fragments, decomposed and mutilated. beyond recognition, have been handed over. Explanations, when made at all, are always that an autopsy was needed, and further sat- isfaction has never been accorded. Two cases of recent date are told to-day. ‘The wife of a seafaring man was. taken to the hospital for treatment. She died:shortly afterward, and on her brother. calling about three times, was told that she was critically ill, and it would not be best for him to see her. She had then been dead two days. He came every day thereafter, and obtained varying bulletins of her health for two weeks. Finally he was told she had been sent to an insane-asylum on Blackwell’s Island. Pushing inquiry to its extreme, although resisted at every step, he finally ascertained the fact of her death, and brought’a coffin for the remains. aie They told him she was not in a proper con- dition to beseen. He insisted, and the re- mains being exposed and examined, were found to be not only the fragments from a dissecting-table but {o be parts of bodies of men and women, Popular indignation has induced the authorities to order an investigation. The case of an insane patient, whose re- mains were similarly used, is also presented. His family called daily to hear of his condi- tion, and received statements of his improve- ment two weeks after he was dead. A FEARFUL MONOMANTA. WHEELING, W. Va., Feb. 21.—The facts connected with the incendiary fire at Clays- ville, Pa., reciting the particulars of the at- tempt of 4 young man to. fire’ his father’s house, mentioned in these dispatches last evening, are augmented to-day by fuller re- ports from the scene of the occurrence. James Worrall, the son, and the perpetrator of the unnatural crime, was studying for the ministry, and a few evenings before the fire Jed in a prayer-meeting. It seems that his desire for money had become a mania with him. Some time preceding the fire, he stole several of his father’s sheep and sold the pelts, and then innocently helped his father search for the sheep. A short time after this the house was robbed of several hundred. dollars, James claiming to lose $2 by the rob- bery, to blind the folks to the fact that the robbery was in reality committed by him, which circumstance has leaked out since the incendiary fire and the Sxing of the guilt upon the most unnatural son. these dis- patches last evening it was stated that one sister and the father were locked up in the burning-house, but it is now learned that his five sisters were locked in their rooms, and that after the house was set on fire by James, one of his sisters escaped, and fled across the country to warn the neighbors, who arrived in time to rescue the rest of the family. It is said that young Worrall tried to poison the family some time before the fire. The young man is said to have escaped to Ohio, assisted in his flight by his father, who, through all, has tried to shield hisson from the indignation of his neighbors. The affair has created a decided sensation in Claysville, where the family are Known, and the facts were only learned by the persistent inquiries of the neighbors, who demanned. to know the name of the incen- ary. PROBABLE MURDER. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Boston, Feb. 21.—The discovery of the body ofa man ina house on Florence street to- night is believed to furnish the clew of the robbery of the Norman mansion, on Beacon street, eight days ago, and the police believe that the burglars quarreled over a division of the 312,000 worth of jewelry stolen there, and that one murdered the other. The body is that of E. C. Marshall, a young man who was found on the floor with a heavy revolver in his left hand anda bullet wound extending from the, left jaw into the brain. It had been there for eight days, but nothing was thought of the non-appearance of the man, as_he and his’ room-mate were absent two orthree weeks at atime on supposed peddling tours. The room was filled with burglars’ tools and scraps of broken jewelry; and what leads to the suspicion of murder is the fact that the day after the robbery the missing partner came out of the room and re- turned in a short time complaining then that Marshall had since been in and had lockéd the door. Learning that there was not, an- other key he left, saying he supposed Mar- shall would soon return, and neither has since been seen. A letter found on a table bearing date Feb. 10, and signed Marshall, says: “Lam sick of life. Please forgive ne,” ‘The writ--| ingis notin the same handwriting as the memoranda found in Marshall’s baggage, and itis supposed it was put there, as a “blind.” Some of the pieces of jéwelry found correspond with that stolen from Nor- man’s house. The police are without clew to the assasin. DEATH SENTENCE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Burrato, N. Y., Feb. 21.—Charles Manke, whose conviction of the murder of John Atloff,on the 2d of April, 1378, was an- nounced in yesterday’s TRIBUNE, was to-day sentenced to be hung on April 2, 1880, just two years after thecommission of the terrible assasination. ‘In court this morning the condemned murdered exhibited the most wonderful nonchalance, and in reply to a question of Judge Barker, as to whether he had anything to say why the sentence of the Court should not be passed on him, he de- livered a scathing speech in German, pitching into everybody, and swearini in the most outrageous manner; ant after Judge Barker had announced that he was to fe hung on the 2d of April, he said he did not care; he would just as lief die to-morrow as not. When Jeaving the court- room he said, “Good-by, boys.” He has been placed ina dungeon, and guards ap- pointed to watcl* him. There is no doubt that he will be hung this sine as Judge Bar- ker told him that his time had come; that he need have no hope for a further trial. His counsel has announced that he will make no further effort except to get a reprieve. WILLFUL MURDER. — Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. JACKSONVILLE, Ill., Feb. 21.—The Town of Chapin, eight miles west, on the Wabash Bailway, was the scene of a willful murder. About 1:30 this morning, on the arrival of the north-bound train on the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy Railroad at the Junction Depot, therd was the usual contention by the proprietors and runners for the two leading hostelries of the place. Alexander Moore, the colored porter of the Van Wey House, and Lester Kimball, son of the proprietor of the Kimball House, became engaged in a Ditter controversy, and during a scuffle Ira Kimball, a younger brother of Lester, tried to. pull the darky off, when Charles We roprietor of the house named, ee: Ay Soute 60 years of- age, interfered, jerked Ira Kimball away, and, without a word of provocation, or without saying a word himself, deliberately shot at the youn man with his revolver. The ball entered the right side, passing into the stomach, and causing death in a few hours. Van Wey was arrested by a Constable and jailed in this city to-day. The Coroner went to th and held an inquest this afternoon. ‘The yerdict was willful murder by Charles Van Wey. After this fatal shooting the colored porter and Lester Kimball continued their fight, and the latter wag wounded in the wrist by a shot from the darky’s pistol. There is great excitement in Chapin over the affair, as all the parties are well known. FOUL PLAY. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Leavenworrn, Kas., Feb. 21—There is much excitementin Holton over the unac- countable disappearance of Edward Shan- non, acolored man.

He Sti] Has Perfect Faith in Himself ~His Plans for Lighting New York. Philadelphia Record. Mr. Edison says: “My experiments have been crowned with perfect success, and the commercial value of the electric light for illuminating either streets or dwellings is es- tablished beyond question.” -The difficulty at first experienced in the breaking of the Jamps, caused by the expansion of the wires, has nearly, if not entirely, been over- come. In his laboratory are lamps which have been burning constantly for upward of amonth without the least sign of inter- ruption of any kind, and he says that he sees no reason why they should not continue in their present perfect condition ad infinitum. Beside twenty lamps used for lighting the streets at Menlo Park, every night there are sixty lamps placed in different houses, which furnish the only light at night for illuminat~ ing the residences. Mr. Edison is now preparing the’ ground for laying the foundation for three new buildings in con- nection with those now in use. One of these will contain dynamos for lighting the Park, his intention.being to erect, as soon as possi- ble, 700 additional lamps in the Park. An- other building, 25 by 100 feet and two stories in hight, will be devoted tothe manufacture of his lamps. The third building will be constructed of iron, 25 by 34 feet and one story in hight, and will be used for making the horseshoe carbons. The carbons and Iamps are the only articles in connection with the electric light which will be manu- factured at Menlo Park; the dynamos will be made at Newark. Mr. Edison has.already taken steps toward establishing central stations in New York City, and has perfected his plans for district ing the city, each district containing from twenty-five to thirty-two stations. Each sta~ tion will be supplied with five Holly engines of from 250 to 300 horse-power. Four of these engines will be in constant use, the fifth to be reserved for use in the eventof an acci- dent to any of the others. Each station will oceupya space of 50 by 100 feet. His canvassers in that vicinity of New York known as Newspaper Row, fronting the City-Hall, have nearly completed their work of ascertaining the number of burners in each building in the proposed station, the number of hours that gas is used, and the amount consumed. “Ttis astonishing,” observed Edison, with a significant smile, “with what cheerfulness the people give the information desired, and how ready they are to extend every courtesy to our canvassers when it is ascertained what they wan the. information for. I guess there are a great many people in Philadeiphia who feel the same way toward your Gas Trust.” It is the purpose of the Electric Light Com- pany to sell the franchises of large cities absolutely. In reply to the inquiry: “Do you know how much capita! will be required to puta station into practical operation?” Mr. Edison answered, “Yes, I know toa fraction, but fam not at liberty to state the figures. I will say this, however, that it will cost four times less than it would to furnish ‘| the same illuminating power in gas.” “Tam bound to wipe every Bas company in existence from the face of the earth. I will do this by supplying light at a figure which no gas company can touch and live,” hesaid; “the least figure for which gas can be manu- factured is $1 per 1,000 feet; of course, they will attempt to put it below this figure, but it will be useless to compete with the electric light. . The electric light [can furnish at a rate equal to 50 cents per 1,000 feet of » and make a magnificent profit, Besides supplying light at night, I have another advantage over gas companies.. I can supply motive-power in the daytime. ‘The same machinery and apparatus which f use for lighting purposes at night I can util- ize for hoisting elevators, running lathes and sewing-machines, pumping water, and, in short. for any purposes for which motive- wer is required. In one block in few York my canvassers found where fifty-horse power could be divided among twenty-eight —smnall__ firms, and that is three-fourths of the lighting power. In other words, if seventy-five horse-power is required for lighting a certain locality at night, and if I can use fifty horse-power of this in the daytime, I have saved three- fourths of my power for lighting purposes. The percentage of power required for light- ing is one horse to everyeight lights. The power required for running a sewing-ma- chine, for instance, is equal to burning one lamp.’ ‘ 4 Mr. Edison says the great item of impor- tance tobe secured in connection with his electric light is cheap steam engineering. A. retty correct idea of the relative value which fe placeson his lamp maybe gained from his own division of the relative value of the component parts of the entire system. He says: “Steam engineering forms 75 per cent of the electric light, 20 per cent is in the sys- tem itself, 4 percent isin the dynamos, and lpercentin the lamps; and yet they are howling about the lamps as if they were the item of greatest importance, when,-in fact, they are the least.” “. An article clipped from a Philadelphia pa- per was shown to Mr. Edison, in which the statement appears that it has been “ proved that his lamps were invented twenty-five years ago in France; further, that his ad- mirers urge that the generator and the divis- jon of the current are the real triumphs of the invention, and that these are his inven- tion.” ‘Then the announcement is made that his generator is “ borrowed.” and that Dr. Siemens divided the electric current Ion, ago, and put his invention to the practical test of lighting the Imperial Arcades in Ber- lin, “4 Ttis strange,” sald the wizard, witha disdainful smile, ‘how these false reports creep into the newspapers. Let a man get upa phonograph or something which, in fact, isa mere toy, and “has no co-nmercial value, and there will never arise so much as - a breath of dispute as to his rightful claim to the invention; but the moment he has perfected something of commercial value, something that will contlict’ with the interests of long-established —monop- olies, and then ere is 8 fen. eral rush to endeavor to pull hin down, and toshow that, after all, he has ac- complished nothing. ‘The idea of electric lights in France twenty-five years ago was onlyin theory. When an inventor gets a atent from the Patent Office it is a contract | between himself and the public for furnish- ing something practical, not for a mere the- ory;andit'is simply absurd to_ assert that any one else hasever put to practical test the ‘use of the electric light as you see it illus- trated here. To say that my generator is ‘borrowed’ is unqualitiedly fatse, and, so far as the statement is concerned that Dr. Siemens divides the electric current in light the Imperial Arcades in Berlin, why, he divides itin the same manner that John Wanamaker divides. the electric lights in his store. He can divide them into groups of twelve or fifteen, and no more. Buta sys- tem that cannot divide and subdivide from one lamp to a million of amps is simply im- perfect, With my electric light Ican cut out any one or more lamps from 100,000 lamps, « and can light and extinguish all of them at once. ean stand by the switchboard in my laboratory and extinguish any one or ail of the lights in the park or in the houses luminated from my laboratory. Siemens cannot do this, and never professed to. Now, in relation to the generator: Of course, Far- aday was the orignal inventor of the gen- erator, but generators are like sewing-ma-- chines,—they are of many different Kinds. My machine will afford 40 per cent more. of electricity than any other machine ever made. What I meant is the amount of elec- tricity you actually get into the lamps.” In response to the inquiry as to the date when he would be able to ‘open his first_cen- tral station in New York, Mr. Edison said he could not fix a definit time. His lamp, he claims, is perfected; but, before starting with itin New York, he will testan entire station by constructing at Menlo Park a_fac- simile of the first station to be opened in New York. So careful is he in his experiments that the measurement of every belt, the dis- tances between pulleys, the elevation of ma- chinery, and every minute detail connected - with his electric lights will first be tested at Menlo Park, and then removed to New York and placed in exactly the same position there. - taking down a book containing over 300 pages, ir. Edison remarked: ‘There is a ok on the use of belting, in which are the - opinions of over 100 master-mechanics, and no two of them are alike. What am I to do?- Why, I must find out for myself before I run the risk of putting up my apparatus in New York. Lless thana year we will have the electric light in successful operation in New York, ‘when we are once under headway We will wipe your Gas ‘Trust out of exist- ence. . JENNIE TYLER’S DEATH. A Romance of Real Life ina Brooklyn Tenement—From Washington Society to the Home of a Laboring Man—Sim- ple Testimony to a Wife’ Goodness. New York Heruld, Feb. 9. “They had to do as I said, for I made the match,” said Mrs. Charlotte Rice to a re- porter yesterday. “I did it for the best,—to give the poor girl a good home.” - ‘The speech had reference to the marriage of Jennie Herndon Tyler, a daughter of Col. W. W. Tyler and granddaughter of the late President Tyler, to William Collins, a laborer in the Brooklyn Gas Works; and it was in Tesponse to the reporter’s questionjas to why, both being Roman Catholics, they were mar- tied in a Protestant church. While Mrs. Rice was speaking, the reporter looked round the barren apartineut, whose uncarpeted floor and the bare walls spoke of poverty and ab most squalor. “Twas not always so poor,” said Mr. Col- lins, interpreting the reporter’s look. That he spoke truly there could be no doubt, for still he was rich in true manliness and all the higherattributes of human nature. Stretched ona table, which served for a bier, lay the poor woman, whose story is a singularly sad one. The child of wealthy parents, and boasting a lineage as proud as any in the land, splendidly edu- cated, and 2 pet in the -highest . social circles, she was, before her girlhood was. past, betrayed, disowned, cast out. Deluded into a mock marriage in Brooklyn by a man named Jennings, and despviled of her prop- erty, she was left to beggary and starvation, or worse. Jennie Tyler was born in Rich- mond in 1848; her girlhood was passed on her father’s plantation in Mississippi; she was educated in a convent, ‘and in 1872, when her cousin, John. W. Stev- enson, was United States Senator from Kentucky, she was introduced into Washington society. It was soon atter the Jast event that she nade the acquaintance of Jennings and married him. A few months wrought the misery and downfall of the bright, vivacious, and intelligent young girl. For the next two or three pees nothing of her history is known by the public, except that she was disowned by her family, and, as Mrs. Rice declares, harshly turned away from her sister’s door when she went to beg for bread and protection. “BECAUSE SHE MARRIED BELOW HEE STA- TION.” “JT went with. her to her sister’s house,’” said Mrs. Rice, “but. door was slammed inher face, Itold her to come away with mg; and that is how she became my brother's wite.’ “* Mrs. Collins has not been recognized by her family,” said that sister’s husband to the reporter, ‘because she amarried below her station. There are family reasons why I should not talk about her life; it is purely a fanily matter, and does not concern the pub- ic.’ But the man who shared his scanty earn- with her, who gave her a name anda home, who was proud to call her wife, was not so reticent. As he sat over his dead in his poor apartment at No. 7 Hudson avenue, Brooklyn, yesterday, he never ceased talking of her gentleness, her virtues, and her accom- plishments. There was no mistaking the fact that this poor laboring nan was proud of his talented and _high- born wife. . “She was too fine a woman fora poor man to marry,” he said; “she was fitfor a Prince. But she never complained of her hard lot—she was never unhappy in her poverty. Nor did I ever hear sher say an unkind word of her rich relations who had disowned her. She was well ac- quainted with Gen. Pryor, the lawyer. Senator Stevenson was her cousin, and so was Mrs. Arthur, the wife of Gen. Arthur, in New York. Her middle name was Hern- don. “You see she was of royal stock.” “ Have you heard from any of her friends since her death ?” the reporter asked. “Mr. Brophy, her brother-in-law, sent me $25 to bury her, but itcame too late to do it to-day, and this morning I received a letter from her father. Here it is.” A LETTER OF CONDOLENCE. Mr. Collings handed the reporter a letter, which was dated at the European Hotel, Harrisburg, Pa. Its contents were as follows: Wiliam Collins, Esq.—My¥ Dear Sin: Your tele- gram was this moment received conveying the pad intelligence of the death of my daughter ane,and [ most sincerely condole "with you. ‘Though it was what we were expecting every day. yet it is a severe blow to me, and more par- Ucularly so because it {s impossible for me to attend the funeral and drop a tear over her re- mains. Please let me know whether she re- ceived the last rites of the Church or not, which, if she did, would be the greatest consolation to me, and [ could have a mass said for the repose ofbersoul. Mrs. Tyler's condition is such that I cannot be absent from her but a few hours at atime. She unites with me in the warmest re- re erate slugerest, good wishes for your health an esa. Lam most truly, uy ‘Ww. W. Trnzr. “Were the last rites of the Church per- formed? ?? the reporter asked, after perusing e letter. 4 “Yes,” Mr. Collins answered, “by Father McCue, of St. Ann’s Church, only a few min- utes before she died.” Further inquiry elicited the fact that Mr. and . Collins were married Oct, 13, 1875, at St. Peter’s Church, in. Twentieth ‘street, by the Rey. Dr. Beach. Shedied of consump- tion, on Monday last at 2 o’clock p.m. Her remains will be interred at Flat- bush in the Cemetery of the Holy Cross this sfternoon. As the reporter rose to take his leave the woman who was in attendance upon the dead lifted the covering from the face of the deceased. A glance revealed an emaciated but striking face, in its outlines wonderfully like the portraits of the late President ‘Tyler, whose blood was in her veins. ‘There were still some lingering traces of her girlish beauty which even years of sorrow and poverty could not destroy. “Her face is the best part of her,” said Mr. Collins mournfully; and it was plainly to be seen that she was a mere skeleton, a3 gaunt ag death itself,
