Awful Story of Greely’s Camp al Cape
Sabine.
Washington, August 12,—The shock-
ing stories of cannibalism on the part of
the members of the Greely Artic Expe-
dition, as they appeared somewhat in de-
tail in the New York Times to-day, cres
ated a great sensation in Washington.
One of the dead sergeants, Cross, was
buried in the Congressional cemetery,
and it is remembered as a suspicious cir-
cumstance, calculated to strengthen bes
lief in the horrible disclosures, that the
New York authorities telegraphed to the
friends of the deceased not to open the
casket containing the remains under any
circumstances. It is also regarded as
suspicious that the frozen corpses should
have been encased in iron coffins weigh-
ing seven hundred pounds or more and
bolted together with fifty-six bolts, al-
most beyond the possibility of opening.
The suflferings and privations of the
men in their canvas hut during the long
bitter winter of ‘84 have not hall been
told. It has been published that after
the game gave out early in Febroary
they lived principally on sealskinea,
lichens and shrimps. As a matter of fact,
they were kept alive on human flesh.
When the rescuing party found the half-
starved survivors their first duty was to
look to the two men who were ingensible
from cold and privation, even to the
point of death. One of them, a German,
was wild in his delirium.
“Oh,” he shrieked as the sailors took
hold of him to lift him tenderly, “don’t
let them shoot me as they did poor Hens
ry. Must I be killed and eaten as Hen-
ry was? Don't let them do it. Don't,”
The sailors were horrified, but at once
reported the man’s words to Commander
Schley. After a brief investigation be
felt satisfied that thie poor fellow was
speaking the truth, and that some of the
men who perished had been stripped of
heir flesh to keep the surviving com-
rades alive. Mr. Schley proposed
make thorough work of it. When the
horrible reality was brought before an
investigating committee he did not pro-
pose to have it rest solely on his oral tes-
timony. He iostructed two or three

HENRY'S TRAGIC DEATH.
Charles B, Henry's death was particu~
larly tragic. He was a young German,
without any relatives in this country,
and joined Company E, Eighth Cavalry,
in Cincinnati, His friends tried to dis-
suade him from going with the expedis
tion, but his spirit of adventure was
aroused by tales of artic exploits, and bh
determined to go. Driven to despair by
his frightful hunger Henry saw an op-
portunity to steal a little wore than his
share of rations, and he made the at.
tempt. He was found out and shot for
his crime. In the published official re-
port the death of this man is set down an
having occurred un June 6th, When the
body was found his hands and face,
though shrunken, were intact and recog-
nizgable ; but nearly everywhere else the
ekin had been uiripped from him and the
flesh picked from the bones. Even his
heart and lungs were eaten by his com-
rades, Ope rnb was found shattered by s
bullet, and to another small fragments of
lead were attached. A bullet bole was
found in the skin.

COWBOYS KILL NINE MEN.
Helena, Montana,’ August 10.—Meager
particulars are received of another
slaughter of horse-thieves in the Muscle-
shell region, 150 miles northeast of here,
by cowboys. While in pursuit of stolen
horses, a log-house was discovered in the
timber on the mountain side, It was se-
cretly watched a day or two, daring
which time several small parties of men
came and went, some by day, others by
night, baying in possession horses, evi:
dently stolen. It becomingevident that
it was a horse-thieves’ rendezvous, cow-
boys congregated, and last Monday night
crawled up close to the house and at-
tacked fourteen horse-thieves, about the
premises at the time. Nine were killed
and five escaped. The cabin was set fire
to and burned. There never was a peri-
od in the history of this or any other Ter-
ritory when so much De vane was
going on. Citizens have determined to
effectively stop it. Fully fifty thieves
have been havged or shot.in the past
month.
TWENTY PERSONS DROWNED,
Pesth, Angust 11.~Later reports re-
garding the great storm of yesterday
show that it was more savere than at
first anticipated. In addition to the
damage reported in previous dispatches
comes tho intelligence that the villages
of Zebegony, fod Oroszy have been par-
tially demolished by the storm, and that
twenty persons were drowned by the
rapidly rising waters of the Danube,
while a number of barns and onthonses,
cattle, horses and other live stock were
swept away.

POACHING IN ENGLAND,
There is no parish in England without |
its poacher, and in some two, three, or jy
wore, may be found. I do not speak of
occasional transgressors of the game
laws, as idle fellows out upon Sundays or
holidays, who spend them in the capture
of game partly for the pot, but as much
by the way of pastime. These

True, he does not style himself so, only |
by his deeds having earned the designa-
tion ; instead he generally pretends to
have some trade or other industry, and
ostensibly practices it during the day.
Vhen night comes on, down go his trade
tools, and in their place arming himself
with nets, wire-snares, gins and gun, he
is off to the game preserves. Dut there
is also the poacher pur sang, who disdains
all such subterfuge, regardless of reputa-
tion as of law, who for his livelihood de-
pends solely on the sale of the game he
may capture. Not such a poor depend-
ence is it, either ; considering that hares
sell for over a dollar each, pheasants ihe

RELIGIOUS DOGS,
Samm
The famous St. Bernard dogs are very |
carefully trained. A traveller who visited |
some of the monasteries of the monks of |
St. Bernard, a few years ago, found the |
monks teaching their dogs from the
earliest stages of puppyhood. Not only
is physical and mental training included
in this teaching, but spiritual culture is
by no means neglected. At mealtime |
the dogs sit in a row, each with a tin dish |
before him containing his repast. Grace |
is said by one of the monks, the dogs
sitting motionless with bowed heads.
Not one of them stirs until the ‘amen ”
is spoken. If a frisky puppy attempt to
sample his meal before grace is over one |
of the older dogs growls and gently tugs |
his ear. The intelligence displayed by
thess animals in rescuing unfortunate
travellers among the mountafos is ab.
solutely wonderfid. Many a men who
lays down to sleep in a snowlrift owes
Lis life to the sagneity of the St. Bernard
dog.
