Description of His Jewelry and

Shown Him in New
York.
Prlnco Arthur is winning the affections of tho
Aire: lean people. JIo has not come to New York
with ft flourish, with a profusion of royal toirijery,
but with tho simplicity of a snldier'and the nn
estcntation of a gentleman. IIo rea lily mingles
with the people, takes every one by the baud,
and seems, at least, delighted with civilities and
attentions.
Yesterday found him at his qnartens at the
lircvoort house as usual, ready to do tho honors,
rain or shine.
WHERE THE rHIUCE DWELLS.
He occnpics the elegant suit ot rooms on the
second floor of the Urevoort Houe, facing on
the avenue, just at the end of the spiral staircase.
The first apartment entered Is bid private parlor,
where the walls are paiuted in a delicate shade
of lavender, and where the ceiliniis are marvels,
to tar as emblematic ana tastetul ireseoes ean
wake thcni. Tho centre table is strewn with
diplomatic looking envelopes, with immense
seals, bearing the impression of the
IIOYAI, OOAT-OF-AKM8
and those of several distinguished families of
the liriticti peerage. The vast quantities of
manuscript gave indications of an extensive
v correspondence; or it may be possible that the
' Prince defeigns emulating the imperial las til on
" of the crowded beads an1 write a book. In all
' respects the room Is furnished with faultless Re
finement; the furniture is rich and softly uphol
stered, the carpet is covered with appropriate
medallions wrought in velvet, the curtaius are
hung in heavy cone-colored satin.
THE HOY AT. IICDC HAMHE11.
This apartment is likewise furnished, carpeted,
and finished handsomely. The furniture is full
in pieces, and comprises a fine set ot exqui
sitely carved mahogany. The suggestive pic
ture of Windsor Castle hangs en the north wall,
and, for aught the Prluce might feel to the con
trary, he is in one of its chambers.
AN ACCOMPLISHED GENTLEMAN.
The firt-t article observed was a handsome pin,
about one inch in diameter, the gift of the Prin
cess Eleanor, which had her picture in mrzzo
relievo, In good sized medallion, showing tho
features of his accomplished sister. This unique
ornament is wrought la fine gold, and is the
work of an accomplished arrlst. The next ex
amined was a scarf pin presented to his Royal
Jlighncss by the Prince of Wales. This was the
, marriage pin, and a similar one was given to all
the sons w hen the Prince became the husband
of the Princess Alexandra.
BEAUTIFUL LITTLE OEM.
By far the most elegant of all the Jewels of
the Prince was the scarf pin which the Prince

'Observers wondered if they wouldn't catch

hey entered. These athletic Caledonians, how-

NOVEL SCENE.
Incident In n Vlrelnla (Jourt-.ludHe I'nilerwood
unci K -(; veriior Henry . Wine.
In the United States Circuit Court, at Rich
mond, recently, Judge Underwood rendered his
decision in the case of Captain William .
Nciuis vs. The steamer John Sylvester. Tho
plaintiff, an ex-Cotifedcrato olllcer, broke his
knee pan by stepping Into a coal-hole on the
steamer, sued the owners In November last for
$10,000 damages, got a verdict tor 4500, and a
motion for a new trial being now heard, the
court decided to present the Jplaintlff the alter
native of a new trial or rcccivlug $3000 instead
of t4T00 in acquittance. Ex-Oovernor Wise ap
peared for the plaintiff.
In the course of the Judge's remarks he gave
an account of his first coming to Virginia as u
teacher, thirty-seven years ago; the kindness
and courtesy shown mm uy a mstinguisuca gen
tleman after arrival; tho services rendered by
him to this gcutlemnn in a political canvass; the
grateful return for these services; his subsequent
marriage, etc. lie then adverted to the dlllicul
ties into which he fell on account of his untl
slavery sentiments.
He expressed in the most glowing terms his
admiration for the talents, acqulremcuts, aud
character of Governor Wise, the leading counsel
for the plaintiff. He said that this admiration
Lad been formed years before ho became per
sonally acquainted with him, and with a full
knowledge of his strong pro-slavery opinions;
that he attributed the difference in their opinions
on this subject entirely to their different educa
tions and associations; that since Mr. Wise had
commenced practising In his court he had always
treated him with the utmost kiudness and
courtesy, and that their relations were most
agreeable.
At this point Governor Wise arose and stated
to the court that his hearing was imperfect, and
that lie bad in this way failed to catch several
sentences of the Judge's opinion. IIo had heard
the word slavery used. He asked what, In God's
name, slavery had to do with the question of
common carriers' liability ? Wo had suffered
enough, in all conscience, already, from this
letemma causa oeui. tor oue, no accepted tne
fact of its overthrow, and was willing to trust,
in good faith, upon the new state of affairs.
Hn did not miestion tho honnstv of his Honor's
sentiments on the subject. Ills own, though,
were very diflerent on the Institution as
established, although not, perhaps, so much so
on the question ot the abstract right. But
this difference of opinion had been fatally and
finally ended. Negroes had become free citi
zens, and he was willing that they should re
main so. But the great question now was
whether millions of white men should remain
manacled slaves.
Here Judge Underwood interrupted and stated
that he was In favor of universal suffrage and
universal amnesty. "Act with me," said the
Governor, "on this platform; aid me In wreuch
ing the fetters from these arms and from the
arms of my people, and we will fight out side by
side the great battle ot American liberty." He
claimed that no power on earth, that no tyranny
or oppression, should ever keep him from using
Dom nana ana tongue leaneesiy in defense ot
the broken liberties of the people. He denied
in strong terms the right of his Honor to inter
fere with the verdict of the jury on the law and
evidence. His ar gument was founded solely on
the law as expounded by its great lights, Kent,
Story, Jones, Parsons, and others.
He concluded by speaking in high terms ot
the kindness, courtesy, and liberality of
bis Honor to himself and all the members
of the bar, and of the pleasantness of their per
sonal relations.
The incident occasioned much astonishment
among the auditors and members of the bar.
STRAJfGE DELUSION.
Excitement Over tke Corpee of a Veaag Ulrl
The Pool Killer Needed la a IMaaaohaeoU
Town.
The greatest excitement since the days of
witchcraft in this usually quiet town has existed
here for a week or more. Having been at con
siderable pains to learn all the facts In reference
to this case, the public may rely upon their cor
rectness. On or about Christmas, Margaret FInley, the
daughter of Robert FInley, residing near the
Danvers Junction, aged seventeen years, went
out skating, took cold, had a ferer induced by
pneumonia or some lung difficulty, and died on
Sunday, the tith of this month. She was one of
several children, and the family are lntelllgcut
and respectable, and mostly members of the
Episcopal Church. The deceased was a healthy
and sprightly girl, in complexion a blonde, with
regular features and rose-colored cheeks. On
Thursday, the fifth day from her decease, her
funeral was attended by friends and neighbors,
and she was placed in a tomb at the cemetery.
All through her sickness it was observed thero
was much color in her face, and when life had
departed this rose-tint lingered, insomuch that
at the funeral it was noticed that she looked like
one sleeping, and wondrous fair.
The matter having been talked over the next
day, it was suggested that the girl might have
been in a trance. It was said somebody had
dreamed she was entombed alive, or a communi
cation of some kind from the snlrlt world bad
revealed the supposed tact of which I have
spoken. This spread like wild fire. Soon par
ties visited the sexton, Mr. Peter Waltt, obtained
the keys of the tomb with a physician, who was
to restore the deceased to her friends. The collln
was opened and the form of the young lady
critically examined by the experienced doctor.
Not the least indication of life appeared, and
no evidence of her being burled alive was dis
covered. This it would seem ought to havo
settled the matter. It did not; and now the storv
went forth all that day that Dr. Chase, the phy
sician referred to, had actually found the girl
alive, and numbers were drawn to the tomb to
see If it was so.
Every hour, more and more, the story grew.
and finally parties went to the family of the girl
and reported that she was alive and had been re
moved to the house ot Mr. Waltt, the sexton,
and anxious to return home. The astonished
father hurried off early on Saturday morning to
the bouse wnere he was to receive his child, and,
lo I there was not a word of truth in the report.
In vain the sexton asserted over and over again
that the girl was dead, and that there was
nothing to warrant any excitement. Crowds
came and went. Increasing In numbers from day
to day, and Tuesday and Wednesday last hun
dreds had visited the tomb, looked upon and
bandied the lifeless remains of the girl. Dan

Havana, Jan. 25. On 8undav Captain-General
Itodas again reviewed the Havana volunteers.
Some 11,000 men were in Hue. Two new organi
sations upou the occasion made tnclr first public
turn-out a Spanish company . of volunteer
artillery, having four of Krupp's steel guns, and
the German Jagers, Hickmaster Mcinbcrr Ferdi
nand Hcydrlch commanding. The desire to see
the latter organization was groat, and I do not
believe there were any disappointments abont
the company when seen, for tho Jagers, with
their Prussian uniforms, presented quite a credit
able appearance. They numbered eighty-five all
told, which was a very small representation con
sidering the great efforts made to recruit the
company.
Just as the volunteers began to pass in review
before the Captain-Geuenil a heavy rain set in,
and continued to fall us long as the review
lasted, or for more than two hours. General
Kodas, his staff, and the volunteers, however,
withstood the pouring waters firmly, aud went
through the performances bravely, being
thoroughly dreucbed by tho tlmo these were
over. Mr. ex -Secretary Sew ard, In whoo honor
the review was In part gotten up, twice rado

Mr. Fred. Seward, Mrs. Fred. Seward, and
Colonel Allen, of California, and during the re
view was to the immediate right of General
Kodas, but still In the carriage, which, being
closed when the rain commenced, perfectly pre
served the venerable ex-Secretary and his com
panions from getting wet. On the next day, or
yesterday morning, they were off for the fino
Bugar district of Colon, whero they expect to
employ several days in visiting half a dozen
sugar estates. Afterwards Mr. Seward and
party will wend their way to the City of Ma
tauzas. .
And now for news lrom the interior. Of the
Eastern department, the district of Holgnln
alone furnishes Dio with late Intelligence Since
Halt or more ot tne insurgent troops of tne dis
trict have been marched olf to the Camngucv to
operate against General Pucllo, the 1500 Spanish
regulars huh mm volunteers (.Spanlsn ngures)
within the district havo succeeded in extending
tho Spanish lines somewhat, and havo made
bold to indulge In several expeditions within the
insurgent lines. None of these, however, have
resulted in nnyreal advantages te the Spaulards,
save that from Puerto del Padre to the river
Vosqnez.
From Kemcdlns the news shows that the rein
forced Spaniards are making streuuous efforts
to regain the mastery in that Important district.
The results have been, so far, two rather hard
fights between them and tho insurgents.
The first engagement in date occurred In the
hills of Naraujo, between a largo Spanish
column, commanded by Colonel Antonio Merouo.
nnd a body ot insurgents lieaued hy General
Vlllarol ana Colonels Jllvas and Martinez. As
usual, the Spaniards claim a victory, sayinsi they
killed twenty-three Cubans, wounded seven ty,and
cai'turcd turee and ti-,oou wortu ot booty. As
to their own losses they arc, ns usual, silent.
Private advices do not confirm their report: but,
on the contrary, give tho victory to General Vil
lamil, stating that it is true the Spaniards at the
start had the advantage, surprising and taking
an insurgent camp, but thut they were soon af
terwards checked uud forced, to retreat, losing
seventy-five men to tho Insurgents' sixty.
The second fight occurred at a small place
called Gambado, only four miles and a half from
the seaport of Caibaricn. Tho Spaniards were
commanded by Colonel Fortum, and the Cubaus
by General Salome Hernandez. Only Spanish
reports are at hand, which, of course, claim a
Spanisn victory, witn a loss to tne insurgents of
twenty-one killed, including Colonel Francisco
Garcia, and sixty or more wounded; to the
Spaniards, three killed and nine wounded.
KING COIL ATTACKED.
A .Substitute or Anthracite Coal Trial of the
uouipounu LDHuiiMiaciory iienuu.
For many years past attempts have been made
to introduce a substitute tor coal for use on
steamships, which, while occupying less room in
bunkers, would give greater heat, be less ex
pensive and make less ashes; but up to this time,
however, all such attempts have resulted in fail
ure. Some time last year Colonel William llol
stead discovered that peat anthracite, coal dust,
and coal tar, in proportions of seventy per cent.
of the lormer, twenty-live per cent, of
coal dust and five per cent, of tar
or rosin, pressed together by machinery, dried
and made ready ior use, wouia ao more work
than double the quantity of ordinary coal and
moke but very little ashes. This at least was the
result of a preliminary trial. Captain Spinney,
late of the United States Navy, subsequently
became interested in the discovery; tho Inven
tion was perfected, a company was formed and
preparations made for producing tho material In
quantities sufficient for a more elaborate and
decisive trial. Determined to put their stock on
the market at once, the International Fuel Com
pany prepared to give a public exhibition of the
superiority of their combustible over coal, aud
with this view engaged the steamer C. P. Schultc
for a trip up Uie Hudson River yesterday.
The day was cold and damp; the air was heavy
with wet snow drifting from the lowering,
heavy laden clovds, and a thick fog lay broad
upon the river. The new fuol lying on the deck
did not look promising; the blocks, fifteen iuches
long, ten wide and four and a half deep, into
which the material Is pressed by machine pres
sure of five tons to the square inch, was wet
with rain, aud felt hard and heavy In the hand.
The fuel was weighed first by Captain Bplniiey;
but, for the purpose of avoiding cveu tho suspi
cion of favor, Captain DcGroot had it rewelghed
in the presence of tho committee. A lot of
4000 pounds was carefully weighed and sent
below, where Mr. Belknap saw it put into the
fnrnace. The representative of the com
pany wished to have the fire made on
a layer of live anthracite; but this
the committee would not allow. Fire was
started with wood at a quarter past 11 o'clock
A. M., and 119 gallons of water put in the boiler
water In gauge nineteen inches. Half an hour
later the fuel was ignited; tho lines were cast off
at twenty-four minutes past 13 P. M.; twenty
seven pounds of steam was speedily obtained,
and the stcamor rushed out into the stream with
her bow to the north. This was a good begin
ning; but unfortunately tho speed did not last
long. The steam ran down to ten pounds in
twenty minutes; the wheels revolved slowly, nnd
It became evident that coal was still the reign
ing monarch. On turning at Mnety-clghlh
street the gentleman In charge of the furnaces
was relieved by another, who. It was said, was
better posted ou tho manner of uiilng
the patent article. The gauge showed
an increase of fifteen pounds of
steam in a few minutes, and the boat leaped
through tho water at a splendid pace. Tho hopes
of the gentlemen interested in tne success oi tne
trial rose witn every pound ot steam ana con
tinued high until the steamer touched the dock
They did - not know, however, that the commit
tee, who were satisfied of tho futility of con
tinuing the trial under such circumstances, had
ordered a quantity ot anlnraclto coal to be
thrown over the new fuel in one of the furnaces.
Had this course not been taken, It would have
been impossible to reach tho landing place until
after nightfall.
Captain Spinney feels quite sanguine of the
ultimate success of tho fuel as a substitute for
coal, and proposes to have another trial soon
with the improvement snggestod by the com
mittee of engineers. Should his hopes te
i ealieed, steam navigation will be revolutionised.

The bank statement yesterday shows a falling
off in resources to some extent. In deposits
there is a decline of $265, 487 and In specie of
(07,1138. On the other hand the loans have
expanded 174,563 and the legal-tenders 125,043.
The general business of the week has fallen off
over seven millions. This exhibit is not of a
character to materially affect the loan market,
the supply being greatly in excess of all de
mands. The Gold and Bond markets are likely to feel
the effects of the new programme of the Secre
tary of the Treasury, who has reversed the
order of last month by proposing to buy only
(2,000,000 In bonds whilst selling $4,000,000
in gold. Tho effect will naturally be to lower
tne price of gold and bonds. The programme
is ducidedly "bearish" if adhered to, but no
barm will come of it.
Gold is quiet and lower. Sales at the oponlng
at 121,V; al noon at 121 '. Governments follow
in the wake of coin, as usual, and prices are
again off about .
There was some activity at the Stock Board,
and prices were stronger. Sides of City Sixes
