Greely and six of his fellowexplorers were taken from their permanent camp in Smith’s Sound, on June 22, by the steamers Thetis and Bear, and were landed, July 17, at St. John’s, Newfoundland. Seventeen others of the expedition peri-bed from starvation, and one was lost while hunting seals. The corpses of twelve of the party were brought back, the remains of the other five having been swept out to sea by the winds. Greely and his surviving associates would have perished in forty-eight hours but for the relief expedition. They won the honor of reaching the farthest known point to the northward. Capt. Ash, ice-pilot of the Bear, gives the following particulars of the discovery and rescue of Lieut. Greely and his companions:

An officer of the Thetis found a record on one point of land, intimating that Greely and party were all well, and had left Fort Conger Ang, 9, and, after an auspicious journey, arrived at Barred Inlet Sept. 29. The record also indicated the exact point on Cape Sabine where the victorious exploring party were encamped. The steam launch of the Bear was immediately dispatched to the indicated locality, which was distant about three miles. In the meantime the Thetis sounded her whistle, which was beard by Greely in his camp. The unwonted sonnd awoke the slumbering and fast-sinking explorers. When the launch reached the Ice in the vicinity of the camp a solitary man was seen descending to the strand with uncertain steps. He had heard the whistle and saw the approaching boat. The crew of the lannch regarded this as an evil omen. As soon as the ice fort was touched I jumped on shore, and accosted the lone stranger: “How are you all?" He answered faintly: "There are seven of us left yet" We were all struck with dismay. Gathering up hastily a little food and stimulants, we hastened to the Greely encampment, and there beheld a heait-shattering scene. A gale of wind was blowing. The tent had been shattered and had fallen on the wearied and dying men. We entered and saw a scene of unspeakable misery and desolation. Haggard faces, staring eyes gazed at us. One of the six sufferers was pointed to as dying. We at once began to feed them with light food, and dispatched the launch to the Thetis for assistance. Capt Emroy and Dr. Ames came on shore, a fire was kindled, hot milk-punch was prepared, restoratives were applied, and in less than an hour the woebegone sufferers were able to stand staggeringly on their' feet Ten bodies were unearthed and two disinterred from the icc fort and brought down to the steam-launch to be transferred to the ships. Two of the living party were strong enough to be led along on their feet The other five were borne down on stretchers with the greatest care. In the midst of a tempestuous sea and a terrible gale of wind the living and dead of the Greely arctic colony wero placed on boaid the Bear and Thetis and conveyed to St John's.

A Monterey (Mexico) aispach describes a Greaser execution: Two murderers were shot in this city to-day. They were fastened to two crosses set up in an open square near the jail, with their arms extending on the cross-bars of the cross. In front of them were drawn up a platoon of soldiers, at a distanoe of fourteen feet, and behind the soldiers a reserve squad, to fire in the event that the first volley was not fatal. After the first volley tho reserve soldiers were ordered to approach within a few paces of the already mortally wounded wretches, and fired balls Into their hearts at such close range that the shirts of the doomed men were set on fire. Over five thousand people witnessed the execution.

LASHED TO A BRONCHO.

Am English Cattle-Owner Stripped and Tied to a WHd Pony. 1 Rescued After Seven Days —A Wronged Husband's Terrible Revenge. [Omaha dispatch to Chicago Herald.] M. Boussaud, a _ wealthy cattle-owner, whose herds range in the unorganized ter- | ritory of Northwestern Nebraska, has just : returned from the annual “round-up 1 * in ! that region, and relates a tale of the plains that is, in some respects, a counterpart of the orthodox Mazeppa. When Boussaud reached his ranch about the middle of June he found his cowboys nurs- \ ing a young man whom they had rescued from the back of a broncho. When discovered the modern Mazeppa was lasheh to the horse, entirely naked and unconscious. The animal was about broken down, as if from long miming and was j easily lassoed by the oowboys, who cut the thongs and released ihe strange captive. This happened about two weeks before Bo us saud’s arrival, and daring all that time the stranger had lain in a stupor. A few days before Boussaud left on his return journey to Omaha, having a little medical knowledge, he succeed, d in restoring the patient to consciousness, and his recovery was rapid. When able to talk he said his name was Henry Burbank | that he was an Englishman, and j 34 years of age. About three years ago at Falmouth, England, he formed a | partnership with a friend named Thomas | Wilson, some years Ms senior, and with | him came to America, to embark in the cat- | tie business. They cast about for awhile and finally settled in Northwestern Nebraska, where the range was unlimited, and herdtsrs few and far apart They built a comfortable ranch by a little stream, where Wilson’s youDg wife reigned as housekeeper, attended by two or three female domestics. Burbank, who is a handsome young gallant found it agreeable, while Wilson was absent riding about the range to make love to the latter’s wife. This continued for some months, until in the latter part of May one of the cowboy# who had a grievance against Burbank surprised him and Mrs. Wilson in a compromising situation, and reported it to the woman’s husband, whose jealousy had already been aroused. That night Burbank was captured while asleep in bed by Wilson and three of his men and bound before he had a chanee to make any resistance. After mutilating him Wilson has him stripped of every bit of clothing and *bound on the back of a wild broncho, which was started off by a vigorous lashing. Be fore morning Burbank became unconscious, and therefore unable to tell anything about his terrible trip. He thinks that th< outrage was committed on the night of May 27, and he was rescued on the morning of June 3, which would make seven days that he had been traveling about the plains on the horse's back, without food or drink, and exposed to the sun and wind. : Wilson’s ranch is about 200 miles from the spot where Burbank was found, but it is hardly probable that the broncho took a direct course, and, therefore, must have covered' many more miles in his wild journey. When fully restored to health Burbank proposes to make a visit of retaliation on Wilson, and in this he will be backed by Bonssaud’s men and those of the Ogallala Land aod Cattle Company, whose range is near Bonssaud’s.

BOILER CATASTROPHE.

Several Men Killed and Wounded— The Bodies Shockingly Mangled. [Bloomington (Ind.) dispatch.] A terrible boiler explosion occurred near Harrodsbnrg, this county, causing the instant death of three persons, and perhaps fatally injuring four others. The shock, could be beard for miles. Soon after the noise neighbors began gathering from every direction. When they reached the place a fearful spectacle presented itself. For yards about heavy-timbers were thrown, and pieces of the boiler were scattered for hundreds of feet. It seems that a new inspirator had recently been placed on the engine, which would not work, and it exploded while experimenting. Wesley Carter, head engineer, was instantly Wiled. When found he was lying under a pile of rubbish. He had been thrown over thirty feet. His head had been almost blown from bis body, and both arms were broken. He was a single man. Near him lay his son, dead, his breast terribly lacerated, the skull broken, and one leg almost blown off. He died instantly. The most pitiful sight of all was old Billy Graves, who had only a few minutes before come over to the mill. He was standing near the boiler watching Carter’s experiment when the explosion occurred. He lay fifty feet away, his head almost tom from his body, his legs broken, and Eieces of the metal had pierced through his reast. When found he was alive, but soon died. He was one of the best citiaens of the neighborhood.

Billy Graves, his son, an employe of the mill, was alsp badly injured abont the shoulder. His head was bruised terribly, and it iB feared he cannot recover. John Reed, another employe, was injured in the same way, though not seriously. He was thrown in the air twenty feet while working at the saws. A Mr. Collins, a stranger employed in the mill only a few days, was injrned so that he cm hardly recover. His arm is broken and pieces of the metal entered his abdomen. Another fatally injured is John Foddrill, an old man employed in the mill. He is injured about the head and breast, and, at this writing, is resting easily, but there are fears that he is internally injured. A workman named Calahan is seriously hurt about the baok, though tho physicians say not necessarily fatal. All the injured were carried to a house near by and a number of physicians lent the best aid possible. Three only of the men employed were injured, being in the rear of the mill.

Greely abandoned Fort Conger Ang. 9,1883, and: reached Baird Inlet Sept. 29 following, with tbsentire party well. He abandoned all his boats,, and was adriit thirty days on an iee floe in. Smiths Sound. His permanent eamp wan established Oct. a, was, at the paint, where he was found. During nine monthshis party had to live upon a scant alLwanoe of food brought from Port Cong- r; that cached at Payer Harbor and C*pa Isabella by Sir GeorgeNares in 1876 bnt found much damaged by lapseof time; that cached by Beebe at Cape Sabine in 1882; and a small amount saved from he wr-*ck of the Proteus in 1883 and landed by Lieuts. Gai Hngton and Colw 11 on the beach near whereGreely’s party was fonnd. When these provisions were oonsumvd the party was forced »e live* upon boiled seal-skin stripped from the sealskin clothing, and 1 chens ana shrimps procured in good weather, wh-n they were strong enough, to make exertions. As it took IJWO shrimps tofill a gallon measure, the labor was too exhausting to depend upon them to sustain life entb> ly. The channel between CVpe Babble and Littleton Island did not Is? on account of violent gale* all winter, so that 240 rations at the latter point could not be reached.

From Hare Island to Smith’s Sound I had a. constant and furious struggle with the toe in. Impassable floes. SbUd b xriers were overcome by watchfulness and patience. No opportunity to advance a mile escaped me, and for several hundred miles the ships were breed to ram. their wav from lead to lead through ice varytny in thickness from three to six feet, and when, rafted much greater. The Thetis and the Bear reached Gape York June IS, after a passage of twenty-one days in Melville Bay, wife two advance ships of the Dtmoee whaling fleet, and! continued on to Gape Sabine. Returning seven, days later, we fed in wife seven others of thisfleet off Wostenbolm Island and announced Gre fly’s rescue to them that they might not be* delayed from their fishing grounds nor betempted Into the dangers of Smith's Sound in. view of the reward of $25,000 offered by Congress. Returning across Melville Bay, we fell In. with the Alert ani Lock Garry off Thumb, struggling through the heavy ice. Commandbr Coffin did admirably to get along; so tar with the transport so early In the season before the opening bad o curred. Lieut Emory, with the Bear, has supported me throughout with great skillfulne-s and unflinching readiness in accomplishing the gre o duly of relieving Greely. Tue Greelv party are ve y much), improved sinoe the rescue, but their situation was critioal in the extreme when found and for* several days after. Fotty eight hours’ delay in. reaching them would h.ve been fatal to all whoare now living. The season in the nor his late,, and has been the closest for years. Smith’s Sound was not (p nwh n I left Cape Sabine. The wintrt about Meiviße Bay was the mostSevere lor twenty years. W. t>. Schley, Commander. • The Greely party reached the highest latitude ever attained by polar explorers, namely, 83 deg. 25.5 min. The coast of Greenland was carried up to 83 deg. 35 min. Interviews with Lieut. Greely and other survivors of the unfortunate arctic colony* elicited the following facts:

After passing two winters at Fort Conger inscientific research, Lieut. Greely, with hiawhole party intact, broke np the encampment and commenced a southward descent. Thiswas acc mplished amid great perils from gdea ot wind, ice-nips, and otter casualties. Cape Sabine having been reached, a temporary home was built o- stones md cover d bjr the boat's sails brougut along by theparty. On the 2flth of September winter* quarters were estab ish. d at Cfepe Sabine. The commissariat had bee-omc very meager,, and the cache of provisions left by thoProteus last year but po rly supplemented, it. The steam launch had become ra-it in the iee a few weeks pre.ious and had to*be abandoned during the whole winter. The first havoc, in the i auks was early in January, when one of the men dropped off with scurvy. On the Btb» of April Lieut. Lockwood and Mr. Rice, thephotographer, succumbed alter a heroic attempt had been made to secure about two hundred pounds of meat supposed to be cached at a place named Bad Creek, distantabout fifteen miles from the encami mentIsrael, the astronomer, perished May 27. Lieut. Kislingbury died June 1, and Dr. Pavy, the naturalist, slep In «. e&th June 26. Not one of the victims realized that death was near. They all died a tranquil, painless death. The two Esquimaux also perished, one of starvation. The other was drowned, his kayak being pierced by some newly formed k« Ap.il 17, thus ontting off all hope o. getting any supply of seal meattor ibe starving explorers. The Esquimaux were most faithful and devoted followers and helpers of Lieut. Greely. Ellison was rescued and safely brought onboard the steamship Bear, where he died a few* days subsequently. His is an ex raordimry instance of human endu ance. While away someten miles fro-n bis hut me day last winter thetempera ure suddenly fell to 48 degrees below zero. His hands and feet w-ra irozen to the very bone, ana he was dragg d by his comradesin an almost dying o nditim to his hut. Hisfeet and hands w re literally amputate 1 bv the incisive frost, ani in this terrible state he livedthrough tbe dismal months that intervenjd between that time and the rescue.

A Washington dispatch states that President Arthur, iu conversation with somefriends, said he was very much gratified atthe finding of Lieut. Greely and the remnant of his party. He added: This is the last of arctio ex- editions as far asI can prevent hem. None of them has ever' paid for the extreme suffering and loss of \ aluable lives they have and 11 ink t isabout time that tome ottur nalon try them for* awhile. President Arthur, in previous conversations, has characterized the whale business; as a species of “arctio insanity. * There is general recognition sf th 9 fact that some one is responsible for the deith of the members of the Greely expedi.ion who died from cold and hnnger, and a g -n----eral expectation prevails that a court of inquiry will be ordered when the Secretary of War returns, to place this responsibility where it belongs.
