PASSING OF MAJOR COREY.
Death llomovos Unln.no Fliuro from tlio
N nvspipor : World.
Major John N. Corey , for several years
telegraph editor of the Omaha Herald and
afterwards of the World-Herald , died
shortly after 0 o'clock Saturday evening at
his homo , 1,013 , South Twenty-third street.
Tlio remains have been taken to Sedalia ,
Mo. , for burial.
Major Corey was a unique figure in news
paper life. Little known outsldo of the office
in which ho tolled , his fund of
general . information and rich store
house of experience made him
a most genial companion nnd valuable
worker. Ho was a veteran of the Into war ,
having served with distinction on the side of
the lost cause. Ho was promoted on the
Hold of Shiloh for gallantry In action. Hav
ing gene Into the tight third lieutenant In
the Eighth Arkansas cavalry , ho emerged n

General llardeo's staff with the rank of ma
jor. Ho was subsequently reassigned to his

participated In much of the vicious
lighting In Kentucky , Tennessee , Ala
bama , . Georgia and the Caroliuas. j
Ho was with Bragg on his famous raid
through Tennessee and Kentucky , and in
North Carolina , and during ono of the last
stands of the southern forces against Sher
man's army , was so seriously wounded that
the declaration of peace found him still near
death in a hospital. From the injuries then
sustained ho never recovered fully , and the
effects of exposure Incident to hard cam
paigning served to interfere with nnd ham
per what might have been nu extended ca
reer of usefulness.
Major Corey was a member of the United
States Cavalry association , and a frequunt
contributor lo the Journal of thu association.
His critical comparison of the cavalry tactics
of Upton and Hardco was ono of his most not
able productions.
After the war ho was engaged as an oper
ator and agent for the Missouri Pacillo rail
way several years at Osage , Mo. , nud later
on ho was time keeper ut-lhe railroad coal
mines tit Mt , Scrralt , Mo. , when Dm state

While proceeding lo Zanzibar In February ,
1870 , In the chartered steamer Albion , writes
Henry M. Stanley , the celebrated African
explorer , wo slopped nl Aden lo take In coal.
Presently a bright Somali youth , who had
paddled his own canoe , swung himself
aboard our ship , and after making fast his
lltlle craft with a lanyard , accosted mo with ,
"Want n boy , sir ! "
"No. "
" .Mo good boy , sir. Do anything. "
"No , thank you. "
"I hear you go to Africa , and want meu. I

Hlnes. I'd Hko to go with you , sir. "
' Why , you are tiulto a prodigy 1 How old
are you ! "
"Seventeen , sir. "
I now examined him more closely. Ho was
n tall , shapely , comely , Intelligent youn
man , with curly silk hair and a look of
" < iullo ready for anything" about him.
"Well , what wages tlo you want1 ?
"Anythiug you like to give. sir. Dollar ,

"Why , you are extraordinary ; I'll glvo you
10 shillings a month , and we shall sec after
wards. Eh ? "
"Aw-right , sir. "
Dunlin Wim KngUKCil. '
And upon these terms Dualla , the Somali
boy , entered my service. For several months
1 did not pay much heed to him. There had
been no occasion for any exhibition of su
perior ability or courage. 1 observed , how
ever , that on Sunday Dualla attracted every
eye by the splendor and variegated colors of
his dress. Ono time ho would resemble a
young Goanese dandy , another day ho would
astonish us by a rich Mussulman nttlra , llio
next ho would emerge from his cabin n la
Zanzibar ! , in larboosh and khansu , hut
always exceedingly trim and clean. Still ,
wo had several smart young Xan/.ibarls , who ,
though not such exquisites as Dualla , were
nevertheless favorites for their intelligence
and dash , and as yet there was no chance for
promotion.
One day new rifles were served to Company
No. 1. They were taught how to manipulate
them and how to disconnect their parts.
Finally a target was sat up at point-blank
range and a prize was offered to the best
shot , and , in order to show the Xanzibaris
what good shooting was , ilvo European
olllcers were requested to step forward and
exhibit thelrskill. But , to my slutino , not
ono white man lilt the target.
Dualla was called tixm. | Straight us an
arrow ho stood a second and fired , plugging
Iho target near the center.
A few weeks later , while engaged on the
highway for Iho wagons , I wished to make
an "indent' ' for provisions on the main doiwt
below , and asked the commissariat ofllcer
how many rations he had distributed that
morning. Ho took out his note book and
turned the leaves over backwards and for
wards so often that at last I got impatient
and said :
"Do you moan to say you do not remem
ber how many rations you are daily serving
out ? "
"I'll tell you directly , sir. " I waited , pen
in hand , for another Ilvo minutes. My time
was valuable , every minute was precious.
O"Hcro , Dualla , " I nt last cried. "Tell this
gentleman how many rations he served out
tills morning , " never suspecting that ho did
know , but as an indirect chaff at the commis
sariat.
"One hundred and forty- eight , sir. One
hundred and forty-eight pour -Is of rice , 148
pounds of beans , " ho replied. * "
. ! j"Hq\v do you know ? " I asked , astonished.
"I help weigh them , sir. "
"That will do , thank you. "
At Stanley Pool an ofilccr requested the
loan of our now steel barge , thai ho might
proceed up river and visit his friends at the
next station.
Lost the Stool Hnrgc ,
The slecl boat pulled twelve oars , and ,
completely equipped and launched on the
Upper Congo , had cost us about JtSOO. It
was lent with an Injunction that on his re
turn ho should draw her up carefully on Iho
beach out of harm's way and padlock her
chain. Tlio lieutenant faithfully promised ,
went up river , and , on coming back , reported
himself and assured mo of the security of
tlio boat.
The next morning the boat was needed for
special service. But she was not on the
beach , and no ono know what had become of
her.
her.Tho
The lieutenant was questioned , and It was
discovered thai lie had given orders for se
curing Iho boal , but had not waited to see
his orders carried out. The crow , it then
transpired , had simply rowed her ashore ,
and each man had sprung out and gone to
his own mess. It was then obvious lo all
of us that the surge from the Great Cataract ,
which was but two miles below , had entered
the cove , lifted the boat clear of the strand ,
and receding lowaitl Iho lerriblo vorlox
had bo-no her away with all her equipment
aboard.
T. ugh it appeared hopeless that wo
should over hoar of the boat again , four sev
eral triplets of messengers were dispatched
in as many directions across the country to
warn the natives down river and offer re
wards for her recovery , and I set off with
Dualla and another toward the Great Cata
ract of Kintamo , over the hill of Lcopold-
vlllo.
On reaching the summit overlooking the
cataract , Stretch , ono of tlio young attendants -
ants , with his sharp eyes delected llio boat
about midstream stranded on a reef the
lower part of which seemed to hangover the
edge of the roaring cataract. With my glass
I could see her Hko a tiny speck compared to
Iho mile-wide river. Above llio reef the
puissant Congo was treacherously placid , but
wo , who had so often crossed it two miles
above the station within n view of the gulf ,
had often occasion to dread Its terrible
velocity , nnd below the reef it was all a scene
of remorseless fury a countless series of loss-
Ing waves nnd spray-crowned crests ,
and hero and there veritable towers
which wcro no sooner formed than liioy
seemed lo bo swung bodily lulo iho
air , lo bo followed , by others. The
eye was fascinated by Iho wild picture of
tremendous strength and Incessant range
which the great cataracl furnished al Ihis
view of it. Ono could gaze at it for hours for
Its suggestion of ceaseless passion , power ,
and its awful ingultlngness , while its hearse
roar is in fit volume and accompaniment to
the watery horror.
I sal down and studied the river above Iho
reef. From our side Iho boal was quite 700 )
yards and about 1,000 yards from the op | > osllo
bank. The low rock ou which It lay was
probably fifty yards In width and
a foot above the water , and by one of these
surges caused by the vicinity of the cataract
and shifting currents the boal had doubtless
been swayed aside and had rcsled on what
appeared to bo Iho beginning of a groove or
channel. Various plans wcro vaguely formctl
for saving it , but were dismissed owing ile ilo
the imminent danger. A foot rise in the
river would also sweep the boat over the
reef Into certain destruction.
riiiiinliiK to Secure tlio lloat ,
Wo returned lo the station , At our head :
were a paddlo-stcumer and a canoe. We set
a mark iby driving a peg at the walcr line
nnd resolved to wait and see whcthcr.tho
river rose or fell ,
Twenty hours later the river had subsided
six inches. I went back lo Iho hill of IA O
poldvlllo. The boal was higher out of the
water , the reef was larger , and cxtemlei
further up the river In n low pray tongue 01
rook. That was ono great comfort.
On the third day the river hud subside. !
several Inches more ; the. reef was stll
larger. Duallu was by my side , and looking
at the river I conceived a plan which I
audibly revealed , saying that "If I wen
younger und had not so many rusponsl
bllltics ou me I could save her. IvouU
have liked such u job , But whom have
that could bo trustf.d for such a delicate task
as this ? and if u single life were lost I should
never forgive myself. Yet if I had a man
who could remember instructions , aud obey
hem to the Ictlr-r' , that Iwat would bo In our
ovt < In n nhortlltui | > '
"Can I tlo It , sir' " asked Dualla , ns though
had boon ndJrosXInjr him
"You. flhol t'vfitu thlnklntr of n daring
oun ? officer wRd'eould learn his lesson by
lonrt and act ubcvmltngly , What could you
lo ? " "Icouldltivi sir , "
"No doubt you uould try , my boy ; but It
vants u head iff ; Wll as a bold heart hero. "
Well , sir , I do not see myself how anybody
"oulil get to that Iwat. I think nho Is already
est , for she is only Ilvo yards from the eat-
irael , and long bofuro wo could got to the
eof wo should > Nv over iho falls , as the cur-
cut flows llki n Hying arrow. But how do
ou think , sir , nny ono could got there ? "
"Well , the thing Is easy , provided ono was
tire of his crew. I would take that now cell
f manllla roptf frhich Is In our store room ,
Hid which Is ! ! 00 yards long , and I would tlo
mo end of it to our steamer anchor. I would
hen cheese the best canoe men In the camp ,
nan our canoe at the beach , strike out boliily
or the center of the river from our cove , and
vhon I saw that the boat and reef were dl- '
roetly below me I would steer straight to-
vard them. When about 250 yards alwvo
ho reef point I would then drop my anchor ,
mil p.iy out the hawser half its length. The
ithor half , after making fast at the bow of
ho canoe , I would pay out along the length
if the canoe , make fast at tlio stern , and
hen tlio best man should swim down to
he boat with the other end of the rope ,
i ml make It fast to the ring bolt at
ho boat's bow. Then the rest of the
crew would lloat down by the
opo to the reef , and all hands , after putting
in oar under the how. would roll the boat up
> lt by bit over the reef until she was afloat
\11 the crow , except the steersman , would
hen haul themselves hand over hand to the
anoo , and when all were aboard would haul
ho boat abreast of the canoo. Then I would
ransfer all the crow , except the steersman ,
nto the boat , and , pulling up boat and canoe
null the anchor was near atrip , scat overy-
> ody in his place with every oar out and
eady ; then , at a word , lift the anchor into
the boat and away wo would fly for this
shore , and wo should fetch up well above the
cataract. Do you see ? What do you think
of that , Duallat"
Dimllii'g During.
"Oh , I can do that perfectly , " cried Dualla.
"Nonsense , my lad ; you would forgot
every word I said and then I should lose you ,
for no boat can live in that cataract. "
"No , sir ; I feel I can do It ; and , If you
cave it to me , it will ho done. "
"Very well , then ; but take your time and
think of It. Take all day and think of It.
The river is falling steadily and the rainy
season is over. Now , I should like to hear
irst whether you can remember what I
said. " And Dualla , with his wonderful
nemory , repeated the operation word for

Dualla was loft to himself for the day , and
when 1 retired for the night I had heard no

The next morning , while I was taking my

ind , looking out of tlio window , I saw the
anzlbarls rushing frantically to the beach.
J'hoy were shortly after seen marching in
U'oecssian to my house with Dualla hoisted
ilgh and seated like a hero on their shoul-
lers. . At the door I met them , and gravely
taking off my cap said : "Good morning ,
Mr. Dualla. " Dualla leaped smartly to the
cround and saluting said : "Tho boat is at
: ho beach , sir. " '
"Thank you , Dualla ; there nro thrco

'Nnw YOIIK , Jan. 15. A novel battle was
'ought this afternoon In this city. Usually
a dilapidated barn has been pressed into ser
vice for affairs of this kind , but in this in
stance an elaborately furnished parlor of a
well known road house near Macombs Dam
Sridgo , .vhieh is quite often frequented by
; ho swell sot , was selected by the fastidious
gentlemen in charge of the affair , as a place
; o hold the battlo. The room where the
mgilists mot was on the first floor of the
liotel and was handsomely furnished. Only
; wcnty-two persons witnessed the flstlo
xrguuient. There was no admission charged ,
the affair being only an.'invitation ono , gotten
up to furnish select sport without the dis
tasteful presence of toughs. The purse was
subscribed among the spectators , who were
in almost every instance well-to-do lawyers ,
bankers and theatrical people. The gentle
man who arranged the unique affair is quite
well known to the general public as a ninn-
igor of amusements , and may bo guessed at
by the mere mention of his flowing whiskers.
The men who furnished the amusement
were Danny Hyan of Philadelphia and Sam
Jackson of Gloucester. Ilyau weighed In at
124 and Jackson nt 120 pounds. Johnny
Eckhardt was named as referee. A promi
nent lawyer was announced as timekeeper
for Hyan while a young and wealthy real
estate dealer was to act in like capacity for
Jackson. The lighters were naked to the
waist and exhibited pretty fair evidence of
training. '
Six lively give and take rounds were
fought , Hyan finally knocking Jackson out
by a swing on the jaw.
The winner got $200 fc- his victory and
Jackson received $35 as n balm for his whip-
) Ing. Afterthollght a supper was served
n which both boxers participated.

that the legislation Is n direct blow at

relish her as a dangerous rival and nave
combined to down her. Should this legisla

I.OXDOX , Jan. 15. Discount rates stiffened
during the past week , being quoted at Htf
for three months and 1 for short. Hold was
In steady demand for continental countries ,
especially France , whcro banks are Increas
ing their reserves by calling in gold from the
Hank of England. 'With the prospect of an
Increased demand for Austria , where the
currency loans will soon bo Issued , rates are
likely to eontlmio to harden.
- In the Stock exchange during the week
business was fairly active aiid values gen
erally Increased. Sound Investment seeurl- "
ties continued to be In good demand. In spile
of the rise In money , British funds and cor-
iwratlon loans were higher. Hupeo paper
rose 12 points.
Colonial Issues receded owing to the pros
pect of a fresh Australian loan. The market
for foreign securities was In a feverish state.
Tliero were heavy sales of Spanish , but the
greund lost was afterwards recovered , leav
ing a loss for the week of one half.
I'Yeneh rates were favorably Influenced bv
the reconstruction of the IVeneli cabinet and
advanced tlirocMjuarters. Other ICuroppan
securities als.i Improved. The Argentine
loan of ISsft and lhu fun Jin ; lo.iu closed 11
points higher , owing to the collapse of the
Corrientcs revolt. Other South Americans
slightly improved.
Knglish railways had a favorable week ,
and most of these securities advanced.
Brighton , after a deal of fluctuation closed
2'npoints ' higher and Northwestern U points
higher.
In tlio American railway department there
was a lively all 'round advance. If the Now
York prices nro maintained the upward
movement will become very pronounced , as
the market just now is easily influenced to
make purchases , the supply of stock hero
being unusually limited. Variations for the

PAUIS , Jan. 15. The bourse was excited at
the t beginning of the week , hut afterwards
became somewhat steadier. International
stocks generally advanced. The decision of
thu ' Hank of Franco not lo buy gold , is im
portant ' as indicating the existence of gen
eral distrust In the French financial world.
The bank's note issue has increased H,01)J,0iJ ;
francs since llio middle of November , due to
largo demands made by credit and other
financial institutions , which are strunirthen-
ing tlio position in view of a possible polit

Credit Fonder appears to have been ar
