On Tuesday morula?, Dr. P-‘ al h . oo f b „

been tnbmiltcd to him for exaLa na lon Ur.
Bchocppt) was committed to jad to “ 1S trl 1
at the A mil term ol Over and Terminer.
Tbe circumstances of tblß case were so myeto
rione tbat we forbore commenting upon them, in
itietlce to tbe parties concerned, until something
ibould be definitely willed by Bcientiflc orjudlclai
investigation. as wo wi re tieflarod would be tbo
easa There seems no longer any occasion for
silence On the 28 Ih < f January, Miss Marla M.
Slenreeke.a maiden lady o( seventy years of ago,
who hud previously resided in Baltimore,but had
been staying in this place for some months, died
suddenly at the Mansion House,under suspicious
circumstances. During her visit she was at
tended by a 3 onug German physician, Dr. rani
Scboeppebv name, who was also n comparative
stranger In "this eommnnity. Dr. Bchoeppa was
in attendance npon Miss Stonnecke, on tue even
ing previous to her death, and on tho following
morsing she was discovered by the chamber
maid, icing in an Insensible condition, in which
Bhe continued' until the afternoon, when she died.
One of our town physicians was called In tor con
sultation, but Simply shook his head and stared
that she was already in articulo mortis, and he
could do nothing for her.
After the death of Miss Stonnecke, a will, bear
ing dale November 17lh,18t>8, was found amongst
htr papers, which devised her property to
various benevolent and religious associations.
When this will was offered for probate in Balti
more,'the Attorney for Dr. Bchoeppe offered a
later Will written bv himself,and witnessed by his
father, Rev. P. Bchoeppe, and himself, devising
all her 'property to him. The Court direetod an
issne to bo joined, to'test the validity ol the will,
and in tbe mean time, suspicion being aroused
as to the' cause of Miss Btenneckes sud
den eieatb, on appropriation of $3OO was made by
the court to have her body exhumed, aad the
stomach submitted to a distinguished chemist tor
examination. Bchoeppe’s arrest on Tuesday was
the result of that examination. It is also allege i
by parties in Baltimore, wao were well uoqnateted
with Mies Btennecke’s handwritleg, that her sig
nature to the second will is a forgery.
Amongst the papers of Mlsb Btennecke wat
found a receipt, which Indicates that there was a
contract of marriage between her and Ur.
Schoeppe.as had been generally rumored through
this community. It reads as follows:
Casußue. Pa., Jan. 14,1809,-Beceived ol MUaß|

ma'rlage) tbe entire control, possession and right u,
herowncatate, poreonal and real, and *S l r lDJlsppir r<! "
memt of the enme, P- SCItOUPPIC.
On Saturday, after the publication of the
Beral'd, containing charges ttff foul play in the
death of Miss Btennecke, -Dtp Bchoeppe brougut
us a card for publication ifh tho Volunteer. Il
wsb simply an expression of conlemot for the
Herald’s insinuations; and we suggested to him
that a card, to be of any avail in quieting the re
mote which filled tbe town, should contain some
tangible proof to refute these charges. He then
made certain statements to us In regard to what
occurred in Miss Stenneeke’s room on tbo day ot
berdcatk, which we took some pains to verily il
possible, bat which, we regret to say, did not
prove true.
THE INTERNAL, REVENUE.
Hr. Hollins’s Successor.
The Boston A drertiser's correspondent in Wash
ington soys:
The Commissioner of Internal Revenue under
General Grant win be tbe Ron. C ilumbus Delano,
of Ohio. He has served six yeats in Congress,
and his term expires on the -Rh of next mouth.
He Is regarded us one. of the purest and most up
right men in public lilt', and has always taken a
leading position in tbe discussion of iuteruul
revenue mutters. General Grant bus for a l;>og
lime had tbe highest confidence iu bis ofiieiul
and personal iutegiiiy, and did what he could to
further tbe movement made last summer iu his
tetenst for this place. Mr. Delano was not then,
nor haß be h. on since, un applicant for the.
position. , ljul whin iu June or July Com
missioner Roilins bigmfie 1 bis etruest desire
to quit the office, a consultation of load
ing men here was held, as tho roßblt
ol which Mr. D<luno consented to accept the
appointment from President Johnson if it was
tendered. Mr. Rollins, Mr. E. B. Washburne,
Senator Wilson, Senator Sherman, General
Sebcnck. Senator Cattail. Mr. Hooper pndothers,
mnae efforts through Secretaries Seward anil
McCulloch to induce Mr. Johnson lonominUe
him to the Senate, but without success, though
it was understood that he could bo immediately
confirmed, and wonld be kept in office by Gen. _
Grant 11 he were elected President. In December
last, when Mr. Rollins agaiu expressed a wish to
retire, a second unsuccessful effort was made to
secure tho aDpolDtment of Mr. Delano. General
Grant then, 'through a trusted friend, conveyed
to Mr. Rolllds a request to hold the commission
ership until the end of Mr. Johnson's
term, which Mr. Rollins consented to
do if not forced to leave by the condition of his
family. Tbo present Commissioner, some time
ago, notified General Grant that he would like to
withdraw as soon as possible after the inaugura
tion, and the next President thon testified his con
fidence in Mr.Dolano by tendering him tho place.
There Ib reason lor thinking that tho General at
one time thought of offering him a position iu
the Cubtect, though be rognrdß the Revenue
Bureau as equal in importance to any Secretary
ship. However this may he, Mr. Delano has ac
cepted tbe tender of the Commissionership, and
the nomination wifi be laid before the Senate
soon after those of Cabinet members. Those
most conversant with revenue matters and the
abilities of Mr. Delano are confident that he will
prove a vigilant aud capuole officer.
Tlic Slave-Irade in Egypt
The Debate reviews an interesting account of
his voyage to the two Niles, in 18G0 and 1881,
just written by M. Guillaume Lejean. M. Le
jean’a discoveries as to the extent to which the
slave-trade is earned on in ihcsu regions are es
pecial'y valuable. Khartoum, at the northern
extremity of the Great Dolta, may bo considered,
he 'ells ns, one of the chief centres of this odious
traffic. Tbe dealers settled there under pretence
Oi trading in ivory,tend out at their own expense
small emps d’armec on elave-ricrulting expedi
tions among the unhappy negroes and
their wives and children. ’ from Khartoum
the slaves are very often sent to Maf
sownh, to bo transported thence by Djedah
to the Arabian peninsula. W. Lejean calculates
that, between 1858 and 180'J about O.OdU slaves a
year have been poured into the Egyptian terri
tory alODg the course of the White river, and
that since then, this total has reached the enor
mous figureol 16.000. Europe has protested,
but in answer to her remonstrances the Egyptlau
government contents itself with remarking that
the traffic is abolished by law. All this merely
tends to confirm the statement so often made,
that under the thinnest veil of disguise, the 6lave
trade in Egypt Is carried on to ulmost as great an
extent as ever, with tbo tacit permission of the
Viceroy, and in bnt too many qoses, with the ex
piCßs sanction of his BUbordinales.
—Tbo agent of Leo Hudson sued for his pay in
Memphis, and won his case. A large number of
actorß and actresses were summoned us witnesses.
Their testimony "in some instances was fanny.
One, in reply to the question of what duties are
expected of an agent, replied that they generally
travel in advance, call on the nev/Bpapor people,
and endeavor to have them believe that the com
ing star is of immense magnitude', gnll the new--
paper folks all they can, ihe pubticsull more, and
the Star more than anybody.
