Active relief measures are on foot, and all of tbe distressed are temporarily provided for either in private houses or at the expense of the city. No more bodies have been recovered, but many who are missing have cot yet turned up. The prow rty destroyed bv the tioods is valued at 100,000. No more deaths are reported or bodies foiled. The water subsided to its normal level. Tüe citizens axe furnishing relief. The railway trains will probably be rannin? regujarly to-morrow.

MiLWAi kke, July 14 An extraordinary case of mistaken identity will probably be revived in the Courts of this city In the form of suits for libel and dams es pgainst certain jarilcs. The Sentinel Is rcpor .d :a be among the defendants. Nearly two years t po. shortly after the killing of the Coleman toys tear lüirand. Kühl, a Peoria, 111., lawyer, was arrested as being Lon Williams, the notorious outlaw. He coi responded exactly with the description given of one of the Williams boys, even to a mining toe aad certain wounds received by Williams duting a fight with officers, lumbers cf witnesses swore that Kuhl was Williams, and an equal number swore that Kubl was Kuhl and not Willisms. He was alternately identified as Williams and ss Kuhl. The case attracted widespread attention throughout the whole country. The Court ncal'- decided that Kuhl was not Williams, and he wasrelesHd. Since his discharge It has been maintained by many that Kubl was in reality Williams under an alias. Numbers havti freely asrerted that munev was freely used to secure his release. Kuhl's brother-in-law, Peter öchenz, of I'eoria, is now in the city accompanied by his attorney. They claim that Ex-Uistrict Attorney Williams. Kx nberifi P.ugee. and Ex-I)eputv Sheriü CrediBg have made me of the statement mat Scheru used money to prevent the prosecution of Kncl. Before commencing actions, the Peoria party will investigate the whole matte, aad if the facts will thn warrant a auit, action will be CDinmcrjctd for heavy damages. PRANK i OF A MANIAC George Jenkins, ot Waticsboro, Assaults Dr. Clark with a Kalte. Special to the Sentinel: CoLiMBt s, Ind., July 14. George Jenkins, who was sent from this place some two or three weeks aso to the Asylum at Indianapolis as a religions mecomaniao, was allowed to return on last Monday, either through negligencs or by accident. He went down to Wa:eboro. four miles beiow here, and commenced creating trouble by preaching, and threatening those persons wno were iLStrumentslia sendirg him to the Asylum. He had a special spite at a girl named Ella Lvce, and alo against Dr. J. R Brevoortand Lr. I. N Clark, and a wore be would kill them. He armed himself with a long hedge trimmer's knife and a heavy lion bolt, with which to carry out his bloody purpose. He went to the house of Dr. Clark late ytjterday evening, and told him tnat Ir. Brrvoirt wsstery tick and wanted him to come aud stay all night with him. The doctor was on his guard, as he had heard of Jenkins' threats to Sill him. and exenaed btmaelf by saying he had business to attend to that would prevent him from going. Upon hearing this tho maniac leaped upon blm and would have killed hi en then and there if a rian who was ataadlng near had not dealt him a blow on the aide of the head which stunned him and enabled his would-be victim to escape. Jenkins was finally secured and brought beie late hut right and pnt In Tall. Sheriff Thompson and Manhal Brink ley took him bac to his old quarters at the Asylum this morning. It is to be hoped that he will not be allowed to orme hack home again, as he has vow.d to be avenged on several persona down bere. Drowned. Special to the Sentinel: Madisox, Ind., July 10 Sam Duncan, colored, aged about twenty years, was drowned about i o'clock yesterday evening, while swimming with some companions. It seems he made a dive off the ferry wharf at Milton, but did not come to the surface any more. It is thought he struck the bottom, as the river is cot high now. His body has not yet been recovered.

MORTON RESIGNS

Per Request as Keveaae Agent at Boston The Charge Against Blm Not Sustained. Wa8hihgtok, July 11. The following may bs accepted as an authoritative account of the complications in regard to C. M. Horton, lately appointed Revenue Agent Commissioner Evans was personally acquainted with him, and he came to Washington highly recommended for appointment Soon after he was appointed, Solomon Carter, of Boston, wrote a letter to the President, making charges against Horton, that he had accepted $500 as a consideration for the release of certain goods seized under the Internal Revenue laws. Horton was notified of the charges as soon as made, and he wrote a letter explicitly denying them. Subsequently theBe charges were referred to Collector Slack, of Bo3ton, at which city all parties in interest resided, for investigation and report The report of Collector Slack wie received last week during the absence of the Commissioner and remainel unopened until his return Sunday last, at which time it was opened and carefully read by him. The report was found to set forth as conclusive that the evidence failed to connect Horton with the receipt of '00 paid by Carter. Collector Slack, in his report however, incorporated statements of persons examined privately by him In the absence of Horton, and these persons refused to allow their names to be used, but made in this way certain other charges against Horton, which he was given no opportunity to deny by the Collector. These charges were of a character similar to those made by Carter. Upon reading the report the Commissioner felt it was due to the Administration and to himself that Horton should tender his resignation not because he had been found guilty of any charge; not because of anonymous charges incorporated in the Collector's report, but to relieve an evident embarrassment. Consequently Sunday ladt he wrote Horton, requesting him to forward his resignation. This, Horton was in a petition to do without any reflection on hiniicl, especially as the charges made by Caiter had cot been sustained. On Monday la.t tte Commissioner telegraphed Horton, callirg his attention to his letter of the day pievitns, and asking his immediate compliance with tbe request it contained. On Tuesday Horton telegraphed tbe ComxniE&fiicner, asking if he would be allowed an interview, and as this request was not regarded as unreasonable, a reply was sent g;aqiirg the same, provided he should "come to Washington immediately. On Wedneulay, instead of ccmicg to Washington, Horton again telegraphed asking that a copy to be forwarded to Lim or Collector Slack be directed to permit him to read Lis letter, and at tbe close of his telegran en-d he courted investigation of the Ho e ard French charges male against him. After carefully gcirg over the situation the Commissioner felt it was due to the Administration that the embarrassment should be relieved by the resignation of Horton, and accordingly this afternoon he telegraphed him positively to that effect, and of course Horton will resien. It is proper to state that eo weight is attached to the anonymous charges secretly filed with the Collector at Boston, -and-- of which HorUn has had no notice arid they are cot regarded as fixing upon him any guilt, but with a strong desire to be thoroughly just to all parties concerned, and at the tame time to dispense with a series of vexations and embarrassing investigations, which were inevitable with Horton' relation In the lervice. Horton has never gone on duty cor received a dollar pey, and it was regarded as unjust to him that the charges made by pen od s who were unwilling to aseuino the reponsibi!ity of the same by giving their names should be published broadcast, especially as Horton' resignation was daily expected. The report of Collector .Slack was not given oat in Washington at all, ani any statements therefrom that have been printed were made public in Boston. CONFESSED lO PEVKX MURDERS. A Rival to Lnerctia Uorgla Found In the Person of Mrs. Christian, Now la CnstoJy In San Antonio. Sak Aktoxio, Tex., July 10. A woman earned Mrs. Christian, residing here, has confessed to poisoning seven men during her life. For months the matter has been under investigation by detectives, who are now cearing the end of their labors, but many of the particulars are yet shrouded in mystery, and much has yet to be made known. The crimes originated in New England, one of tbeir ramifications being in Boston, where the Investigation leading to the develop ments at present known was erst instituted. Tbe woman has had in all two or three husband?, each of vhom, it is learned, died very suddenly. The details ot one of her diabolical deeds are quite fully known. In the early morning cf November 9,1881, ore J. B. Burkett, a stage driver, with two passengers Mr. Howell, of Gonzale., and Gecrge M. listen, of Chicago arrived at a camp thirty miles north cf Laredo. The place was occupied by a Mexican, to attend tbe horses, and by a woman, Mrs. Christian, the cook. Tbe weather was cold, and Mrs. Christian, before servicg breakfast, brought a bottle of liquor and handed it with a glass, to Burkett, who invited the two passengers and the Mexican hostler to join him also. The former both drank. Thea he passed it to the Mexican. The latter several times declined, but finally took a small drink, Mrs. Christian remarking: "Don't insist; the Mexican may think you want to poison him." The invitation was again extended to the oman, and she refused, saying it was too bitter, which had been remarked by the otherr. Mr. Burkett then drank all that remain d. and immediately accused the wemsn of putting quinine in It In a morrent Mr. llston complained of his neck and head, and instantly fell backward in convulsions, followed shortly by Mr. Burkett and both breathed their last in a very short time. Mr. Howell procured a quantity of lard oil from the woman and then vomited freely. He afterward had convulsions, but did not become senseless. The Mexican, immediately after taking his small drink, was mentally affected by the poison, acd committed suicide by drowning before the poison had its direct and fatal effect. Mr. Howell began to recover in tr o or three hours. When . the woman reached Ls redo she said she was Mr. Burkett'a wife, and laid claim to the hack and animals and other (fleets, evidently believing that the häck belonged to him, but in this she erred and bo secured no financial benefit from her fiendhb act It is said, however, that one of the motives for the assassination of Burkett was to prevent the development of certain facts in a civil suit which had been pending in tbe District Court, and the poisoning of the ether men became ueces-ary tL rough the circumstances described. The b.f lief was entertained at the time that Mrs. Christian had willfully and deliberately done the poisoning, but there was no direct proof, acd the managed to escape tho law. An Abortionist Arreated. Pittsburg. Pa., July 10 Milton Province, a young mac living atScottdale, Pa., was ar

rested in this city this evening charged with having procured an abortion on Miss Minnie Ore IT and the wife of F. M. Clark, both living at Ecottdale. The abortions are said to have been performed in the woods a few days ago, and both women are in a precarious condition. A warrant is also out for the arrest of Dr. Cook, of Uniorjtown, for complicity in the affair. The pre ecutor is F. M. Clark, the husband of one of the victims. Province is a ? one g man, and brother of ex-Legislatcr Province, of Westmoreland County.

TUE HON AT ARTISTS. A Chat With, Cassagnae Prince Jerome Threatens to Issue a New Manifesto. Niw York, July 10. A cable dispatch from Paris to the Herald,' gives the follow ing interview: The article published in the Pays by it. Paul De Cassagnae a couple of days ago, has given rise to a good deal of comment con' cerning the appearance of a new manifesto from Prince Jerome Bonaparte. I called on M. De Cas?fgnac this morning at his house in the Boulevard Malesherbes to inquire what foundation there might be .(or such a supposition. in hinting at the imminence of another Jeromist demonstration," said your correspocdect "were you only reasoning from what has happened at memento similar to the present, or basing your remarks on rcsitive information which you had re. ceived?" "I based them upon serious and positive information," replied M. De Cassagnae. "You believe in the issue of a fresh manifesto," replied your correspondent "Should the Comte ot Chambord die you may rest assured that Prince Jerome will isiue one." - "Have jou any direct relaions with the Piitce, then?" said your correspondent Political relations only, but no private intercourse. The Prince is fast coming over to my group of the Imperialist party, within the last three months he has changed his politics altogether, he has given up appealing to Kadicals, acd is making advances to the Right, which might be ready to march behind him, as I may be doing in another foitnight, if his attitude toward the Church up to cow did cot cause him to be distrnaff rt-' "I have reason to think," observed your j correspc ccrent, "that the I'nnce either has done much to conciliate the Catholic Church lately, or will do so shortly. Do you know whether I am right?" "Y(," replied M. De Cassagnae, "he has dcre i omething, and will soon do something more important." "Publicly?" inquired yeur correspondent 'Yes, publicly," "Do you mean he will go to Church and täte the eacrament or anything of the kind?" 'Xo, that would only make him ridiculous. I mean he will proclaim himself in favor cf educational liberty to us an all -important matter." "What chacce have theKoyalistS in France now, do you think?" continued the correspondent "They can only hope to come in through the fault of Prince Jerome, but they are concerting something, acd it was beeause I saw the dacger of further hesitation on the part of the Prinee that I wrote those articles in th l'ays." "By tio fault cf the Prince,' yoi, of course, mean inaction?'! said your correspondent. ' I do," answered M. De Cassagnae. "A passage m one of your articles," resumed your corrspondent, "has been interpreted into a half-and-half Orleanist declaration." "A man like myself," replied Cafssgnac, "is cot to be judged by a few sentences in a newspaper article. I have nothing to do with Orleaciem. I detest the Orleanist system, for it is based on Parliamentary Government, which I think is utterly out of piece in this country. I am far nearer tit the Count De Chambord than to the Count De Paris. But I am. and always must b. what I always have been Imperialist and autocratic. Frerce does not want the umbrella cf Lents Philippe; Bbe wants the whip of Louis XIV. More than my party, however, I love my country; persons are nothing, principles et ery thing. Any one who accepts my pricciples might count on my support" "Have I your permission to publish what you have told me'."' said your correspondent, rising. "Certainly," paid M. De Cassagnae. "I am not afraid to have anything I say published." FRANCE WILL FIGHT. The French Foreign Minister Declares Negotiations on Tonqnln Affairs Are Oat of the Question. Paris, July 10 In the Chamber of Deputies M. Challemel Lacour, Minister of Foreign Affairs, replying to questions said that the French force in Tonquin was sufficient for any opposition it was likely to encounter. In the event of unexpected difficulties daring the Parliamentary recess the Government would immediately convoke the Chambers. M. Challemel Lacour continued: "it is cow evident that Tuduc is France's enemy. There - is no longer any question of negotiating with him. France must cow resort to fighting. M. Haimand, the French Civil Commissioner inTonqu'n, will recommence treating as soon as possible after opposition to France baa been subdued. France will occupy only the Tor. quin Delta. She has no intention of conquering Ancam. Reports of Chinese aggression are unfounded. Iam able to state that pacific relations will be maintained with China. France's policy ia to insure respect for her treaties. China at hist objected to the occupation of Tonquin, but, alter the Hanoi afiair, she recognized France's right to chastise Tadnc The Marquia Tseng, Chinete Ambassador, did not deny the possibility of an understanding between France and Chic a in tbe last interviews between M. Tricou. French Ambassador at Shanghai, and Li HungChang.Chinese Commander. The lattf r adopted conciliatory attitude. Li Hurg Cbtng left Shanghai July 4 tor Tientsin. But China's objections Will not stop the course of France, who ia powerful enough to execute her projscts in regard to Tonquin without waging war with China. France demands of China cot to embarrasj her action. She proposes subsequently to conclude a convention with China, with a view to ensuring respect for their respective frontiers. If China, contrary to indications, should follow disastrous advice the Chamber will not hesitate energetically to defend the interests of the country. M. Paul de Cassagnae made a violent attack upon the Government. He called Prime Minister Ferry the worst of cowards and a liar. M. de Csssagnac was censured for the language, and ordered to be excluded from the House for a fortnight. An order of the day expressing confidence in tbe firm and prudent policy of the Government was adopted by a vote of 371 to 2. The BlufTton Banner thinks married women could accomplish more for humanity by sper-d ing their time and giving their attention to orphan children instead of poodle dogs, parrots and rabbits; all of which is very true.

SEK BKCOND SUEZ.

De Lesse pa' Blgbta tu Egypt Gladstone's Explanation. Lokbos, July 13. The attitude of the Government in the Ee Lesseps monopoly, though undoubtedly just, is raising a storm of indignation among British shippers, and has adsled much to the Cabinet's political difficulties. Mr. Gladstone takes the ground that the De Leeeps Company was given by the Eeytian Government a monopoly of the right to construct and operate inter-oceanic canals in Egypt as a condition precedent to the undertaking of his colossal enterprise and its extraordinary expense; that the honor of England as Egypt's ally is bound by the Egyptian concession; that the power can lawfully ignore the monopoly, and that all Er eland can do is to secure from De Lesseps the most favorable terms for British shipping he may be willing to give in consideration for England s assistance in the construction of other canals in Egypt The Premier asserts that tbe Government has secured all the concession s possible or neceesary to the present interests of British shipping, having induced M, De Lesseps to undertake the construction of a second and parallel canal, to pledge the management at Port Said, Isrnalia and Suez to English hands, and to greatly reduce tie tolls in consideration of the Government's loaning the Company 3,000,000 at Uli per cent for fifty years, securing the lsnd concessions for the second cut The Government found themselves in such hot water that they telegrephed to De Lesseps, suggesting a modiiication of the agreement M. De Lesseps has not officially responded, but it is thought to be certain that he will cot agree to any material changes in the compact If this supposition be correct, then the Government will be compelled to choose between c&rryicg out the terms of a contract fairly .and squarely made - on both sides and dishonorably backing out because public clamor demands it. There can hardly be a doubt that Mr. Gladstone will choose the former course. If he does, such is the state of public opinion, he will give his opponents the best means they ever had pi esented them tor the formation of a combination strong enough to break down the Government, and they will take fall advantage of their opportunity. Sir Stafford Northcote will make a motitn to reject the agreement, acd will certainly carry it for Conservatives, I'arnellites and Liberals will unite and vote yea on such a motion. Ihe Daily News understands that Da Lessens has refused to modify the terms of the agreement between himself and the British Government for the construction of another canal across the Isthmus of Susi. BOM AN CK. Lavaat First Steht. New York, July 10. A romantic story is told of the circumstances attending ths marriage a few days rgo of B. C. Tunison, a young lawyer of Jersey City, son of Rev. M. Tunison, of the Newark Methodist Episcopal Conference. Miss Belle Barton, an attractive young lady, whose parents reside at York, Tii, came two or three weeks ago to visit friends residing cn Sipp avenue, Jersey City Heights, and at a festival Mr. Tunison met her. It was a case of love at first sight, and by the end of the week Tunison had made her an offer of marripge. -She said her parents had picked out a resident of York to whom they proposed to wed her on the following day which was last Wednesday. He was many years her senior, and she did cot like the match herself, but then he was wealtiiy, and . that was something m her favor. She expected her aunt from New York that very day to take her home and prepare her for tbe wedding. But for that she would readily have accepted the young lawyer's proposition. Tucisrn volunteered to at once take her to New York, marry her, and to be ready by the time ber aunt arrived to introduce "her as Mrs. Tunison. Miss Barton consented, but before tht-y got away the aunt had arrived to take the ccice away on the train which was to leave the Pern-ylvania Railroad statioi at 1 o'clock that afternoon. Tunison advised tli9 fcirl to go to the station with her aunt and leave the rest with bim. Then he went to the office of Counselor George Barron, his friend, acd made known to him the position of e fiaii p. Barron started to the station with the erxious lover. The aunt and her niece were just on the point of entering the train.

CKOOK'3 CAMPAIGN. The Great Indian Fighter Captured by the Apaches Instead of Co railing Them. Dallas, Tex , Jaly 15. State Senator Barcett Gibbs, of Dallas, returned last night from an extended trip to Mexico. In an interview he says he was surprised at what he saw and heard concerning the late Indian campaign in the Elonthwest. He went into the valleys and the country lately overrun bythe Apaches, and visited the scenes of General Crook's late exploits. He says tbe residents of those valleys laugh at the newspaper accounts of captures made by General Crook. They say that instead of Crook's capturing the fighting Indians, they captured him. He did take in a few old Indians and squaws, and when he started out of the mountains, bucks, about eighty in number, followed and overtook him, and sent in a messenger, who asked for a pow-wow. This was granted, and the warriors came in, and in the boldest manner told General Crook he would be allowed to leave on condition that he would promise to get the Government to permit them to retr.rn to the reservation without Eunishmect This he promised becise e cou'd not help himself. Ilesidents of the valleys ray the White Mountain Apaches, who were guides with General Crook during the row-wow. divided ammunition with tbe hostile. The latter told General Crook some of their men were without horses and that as soon as they could go down into the Mexican settlements and get horses they would follow him into the reservation. They did this, killing several Mexicans on the way. The valley folks say the White Mountain Apaches are openly in communication .with

hoexiles acd would never fight them. As an illustration of the friendship between the two, one of the White Mountain Apaches appeared among-the soldiers with the watch of Judge McComas, who had been killed by the hostile. Being interrogated as to where he obtained the watch, be said he got it from a squaw. The son of the Judge had to pay $30 for the watch. Crook not daring to disturb the friendly relatione with the White Mountain Apaches by making him give it up. Senator Gibbs says this is only a sample of the volumes of unwritten history of the late campaign that could be furnished, and that the public has been imposed upon. Tcatmas, Mex., July 15. Crook's campaign is unfavorably commented upon. His scouts only came to spy out the country, . for the purpose of seeing where they could raid without meeting the troops. Altogether it is productive or more evil than good. GEOKUIA'S TRIBUTE.
