A mystery thnt for n long tlmo has baffled fletfctlves nnd Is still 11 puzzling nnd pro found unlgmn , has nlnrmed the Immediate relativennd friends of Mrs. Mary L. Teem loy , who resides at Old Mill Green In Hart ford , Conn. Mrs. Toomloy Is a widow about thirty -fight years old and still retains much of her former benuty. She is highly accom- jillshcd nnd nn excellent crayon artist. Ten years ago she married Jerome Toomloy , n young mnn of excellent habits , but who was unfortunately a local curiosity owing to his lack of ndiposo tissue. Toomloy could well liavo pnssod for n living skeleton. As a rule lie was shunned by his femnlo acquaintances , Iiis unprepossessing and ghastly appearance Bonding a chill of horror down their vertebra bra- . Notwithstanding Toomluy's withered physique , hu wooed nnl : succeeded in winning the prettiest girl among bis ac < | tinlntiini'es. For n year their connubial relations filled the measure of thnlr anticipations. At the expiration of twelve months of hupniness the husband died suddenly of heart disease nt exactly ! ! o'clock In the afternoon. While iu the flesh Toomley often expressed a fear that he would not live long , and frequently tried to prevail upon hist wife to resistor a vow thnt she would never marry ngnln after his death. Mrs. Toomloy Is positive thai she did not yield to his pressing solicitation , us she considered it merely n whim which did not domund HO sorluus an obligation. Ho that as it may , Mrs. Toomley is deeply perplexed and her many friends are exceed ingly alarmed over her fate , which circuui- Btnncesscorn to point toward a future entirely void of peace and happiness. Whenever Mrs. Toomloy receives or entertains bur gentle men friends she experiences a sensation us if licing urged nwny from her guests , uud no inntter what hour of the day it may bo , her watch , the gift of her dead husband , will point at exactly 11 o'clock , the hour of his dentil. During tbo pant six months Mrs. Toomloy has granted Mr. Charles L. Fleni- inlng , of Sheldon , the privileges of calling on her. Ono evening nt nbout U10 ; ! the clock on the mantelpiece struck 3 nnd the hands pointed to that hour. At the same time Air. Flemming looked nt his wntch , und , to his surprise , lie beheld the bunds of his valuable timepiece indicating thu same hour. Mrs. Toomley believes that some strange power is trying to prevent her from ever again enter ing Into the matrimonial relation , and the name opinion is entertained by her numerous friends , who have ocular proof of the mys terious power that is making Mrs. Toomlcy's life seriously unpleasant. Miss Florence E. HafTa , daughter of the late Judge Haffu , of the federal court ut Vlcksburg , Miss. , nnd a belle in fashionnblo society , was recently committed to an insane osyliun near Hridesbun : , Pn. She hnd been arrested on the complaint of Dr. Charles N. Williams , u sou of Justice Williams of the rcme court of Pennsylvania , whom she was onpaged to marry. The couple first mot liero six years ago. Williams was theu n dashing young student ut the Pennsylvania University , and Miss Hnffa wus a brown- eyed , rosy-cheeked beauty of fifteen , occupy ing n proud social position. On hut second Visit to bur homo Wlllinms proposed nnd was ncceptcd , agreeing that the marriage should tnko place after his graduation. Hy that iimo , however , ho had changed his plans nnd coldly said that the marriage could not take place. Williams then loft the city , but re turned nbout a year ngo und the young woman began to haunt his footsteps. She took her stand before his ofllco door , snying that she would uot leave until ho hud leapt his pledge. She remained seven hours without food or drink. Her persistency angered Williams nnd ho hud her arrested. Afterwards she was released , being suno npparcutly on nil Other subjects , but ngnln took her stnnd beFore - Fore bin plnco of business. She wns again orrostcd an after a hearing was committed to the asylum , The Hearing was most dramatic. Miss HalTa's nllliction had uot robbed her of her beauty , nnd her gentle manner , nddcd to her exquisite dress nnd modesty , ondstcd general sympathy. With larcro tears cours ing down her checks she pleaded with Dr. Williams not to cast her off , protesting her love in passionate terms. Her mother , who lias since married David S. Hoot , the artist , substantiated the main points of her story , ' but Williams was cold us steel. Once she fed van ceil uud said : "Charles , be n man und acknowledge that you promised to marry pie. " "I never made such a promise , " was bis answer. "You liol" Miss HafTa said , quietly adding : "Think of all the misery 3'ou have caused mo. " She offered no resist- unco to the olllcials Who conducted her to the cab , but kept her reproachful eyes fastened pn Williams until the door closed on his jform. Rose Mossor , a French woman , aged sixty , svas arrested iu Carondolet , a suburb of St. fjouls , nnd sent to the insane asylum. The cnso has some features in common with Amelia Hives' sensational novel. Mrs. Mcssor came to Carondolet forty-two years ngo , She married a man fenmed Forman , nnd lived very happily until Iio was drowned in n stone quarry pit. After n few years of this mechanical sort of exist ence she met a mnn who bore some striking resemblance , fancied or real , to Formati After a brief courtship they were married. His nffcetlon for her was said to have been remarkably otrong. Hut , when , after a short nbsenco , ho returned to bis bride , she would liavo nothing to do with him. Slio told n neighboring woman thnt she regretted hav ing married him , not hut that ho was un ex cellent mnn. for whom she hnd unbounded respect und confidence , but she felt that nho liad violated n sacred tie which , she main tained , bound her to her dead husband. Mcs- cor left her , but has secretly kept u loving wntch over her ever slnco. Bho shortly began to interest her neigh bors with the constant rendition of a story to the effect that n dark shadow , the exact Image und llueness of her husband , con tinually nroccedcd her wherever she would go , At all limes of night she would startle poino of the neighbors by loud knocking on their doors. When any ono opened thu door the nocturnal visitant would regain bur host With tbo old , old story about thu shadow of ) ior dead husband , while the host hi night 'Clothes ' , shivered impatiently. About ! } 'O'clock ' In the morning she urousod F. Mor Bot. at bis home , No. 0.501 South Uroadwny , and after Him entertained him for n time ho took her Into the house , fearing uho would Destroy herself. Hut she annoyed his family BO much by her monotonous spook story that be had her arrested , A tragiccomicromance lately occurred nt Budu-1'osth. A stripling ot seventeen fell in love with n girl three ycara hU Junior , nnd the children were In such despair at the pros pect of having to wnlt BO long before they could bo married flint they decided to com mit suicide , After kissing and hugging each other , the couple repaired to the Danube , and with a fortitude worthy of a better cause the girl Jumped In. Fortunately ho could swim , and availed herself fully of her ' capabilities in that art. She shrieked for 'help , " which was soon at baud. Just as she wns safely landed hnr lover aimed three pistol shou nt himself , but none of them took 'effect , and n quarter of nn hour later the ' 3'oung folks wcro handed over to their re- epoctivo parents. _ _ _ _ _ Twenty years ago Henry Drittnnd Emma Adams wcro married In Logansport , Ind.

In a short time , however , trouble arose li twren man nml wife nnrt Mrs. Lamb df- cidod to return to her borne In Ashley. Her huib-.md wundor.M through the west , nml the last bis wife hoard of him was that be wu drowned in the Mississippi rivor. A friend sent u clipping from n p- per giving an account of the drowning , nnd MM. Lamb , thinking ber husband dead , went into mourning. A few months nio the widow accepted nn offer of marriage from John Adams , n well- to do business man. The wedding was to take place the coining Tuesday , nnd all nr- rnngcmcnU bad been completed. On the Saturday following , to the great surprlio of tin ; bride , her long lost husband turned up. Ho called at her home , where she ? wni busily ongnired in preparing her wedding trousseau. A reconciliation fol lowed , and this evening the reunited couple left for the west. Adams Is much put out over the turn affiilrshavu tnkon. A strange tr.igoly , or whut will uu- tioubtodly prove n tratredy. Is reported from Watson , u village near JolTortouvllle , Iml. Nora Haiti Is a girl with u very pretty , fuir nnd well rounded form who is considered ono of the vllhr.ro uellcs. Her suitors were many nnd ardent. Among them was n young man of industrious nml sober habits named John Alstote. Altohugh not so nttract < vo in either form , face or bearing as some of Norn'.s other admirers , hi ; wan by no means bad look ing , and endeavored to make up for what bu might lack in other respects by hu devotion to the object of bis affections. At llrst lie was received apparently with the same favor bestowed on her other suitors , but she dually grew weary of his persistency , and when hu nskud her to marry bun , not only refused , but most ompbntically told him never to speak to her ngaln. In a very short tlmo he renewed bis suit , however , aid last night visited her at her homo. The young couple were In the room nt 1 o'clock when Norn wns heard to exclaim : "Lot uu1 alone , I tell you ! " The next moment a shot was heard. Members of the family rushed m and found Alstoto lyinir on the floor with blood oozinir from his breast , while Nora Btood a few foot away in u diued attitude with n smoking Pistol in her right lumd. "It was an acci dent. She didn't mean to .shoot me , " John gasped as he was raised to the sofa , but the girl said nothing and still refuses any ex planation of the startling occurrence. Shu is under arrest. John Is dying. A queer elopement , that is a source of con siderable amusement , took place in St. Louis recently. The family involved is that of Charles Mark , sr. , a well-known shoo manu facturer. Ho is the father of two hoys , and these two boys planted their affections on the same spot. They became deadly rivals for the lair hand of Miss Kva Merger. After a hot campaign Cburles , the older , routed bis brother and last May bo married Miss Her- KCr. After that event Albert couldn't stand St. Louis , so ho sought , relief in Arkansas , where ho represented his father's business. lie returned for the bolllays and the slgtit of bis brother's wife revived the feelings which be had tried for mouths to suppress. Albert had been homo only n few days when the husband found a note in his room stating that his wife hnd eloped with bis younger brother mid hoped ho would forgive her The pair started for Arkansas , nnd the hus band snys thoycnn stay theru and live in happiness for ail he cares. Captain Charles Heeso , of Charleston , S. C. , nnd Miss Mary Frances Orady , eacli somewhat past the moridaii of life , met eighteen years ago. Last week they met for the second time at the Union depot in Cin cinnati by arrangement , and two hours Inter they wore married. Captain Loose was a guard at Libby prison uurniK the civil war. Miss Grady'a brother , a lieutenant in the confederate service , wns Heeso's messmate , and died away from home and under his care. Ever since then Cop- tain Uceso nnd Miss Grudy have constantly corresponded , meeting but once during the twenty-live years intervening. Bv corre spondence they agreed to meet nt the Union depot In thus city nnd be married. The captain had his uiarrincre license with him , and together they proceeded to the nearest Jnstico , whore tdoy wore married. The couple will probably reside in the future In Clay county , whcrc > the now Mrs. Heeso is the owner of an extensive farm. Cnptnin Hcese wns wounded several times in the confederate service , and wns on the Alabama when it was sunk off the coast of Franco. The other night in the residence of Mrs. Elizabeth Drown , of Xenia , O. , n widow fifty years old , n wedding was arranged , and the guests and minister nnd groom , Frank Ward , aged twenty-six years , were present. Just before the ceremony Mr. George Ward , father of the groom , who resides near New Jasper , came in nnd told his son if hu mar ried the widow he would cut him off with out n cent. The ungnllant man broke up the festivities of the occasion 'oy going homo with his father. An effort was made to have tno young fellow make another trial , but it wns no go. His father's threat to disinherit him knocks all the romance out of his scheme to marry n widow twice us old as lie is. An unhappy woman is Mrs S. J. Taylor , of Boston Highlands. She Is at St. John.N. B. , nuiotig strangers , deserted by n recreant lover who flinched from the hymeneal ordeal. The lady has charms of person and manner which would tempt nn anchorite , but her second husband that was to bu fled from the fair widow almost nt the altar. Mrs. Taylor was to have become a bride , the ceremony being announced to take place at ber cosy homo In the Highlands. Friends wcro in waiting. The lady , who was , us she believed , soon to forsake the chilliness of widowhood , nwaited the coming of the bride groom , but for some unexplained reason that necessary party to the ceremony failed to ap pear Sorrowing , but not disheartened. Mrs. Taylor pursued her licklo lover with the earnestness born of experience. She learned that ber Adonis had sought refuge iu St. Johns. Hot upon his trail , she arrived hero , and singularly enough , the bad fellow wus the first portion her eyes lighted upon in the hotel corridor. Indignantly demanding nn explanation , Mrs. Taylor threatened to liavo the unwilling helpmate ( that might have been ) arrested on n chnrgo of abandonment or something else. "Von must miirr.v me , ami at ouco , " sno ex claimed , "or I will make this town ring with your shameful deeds 1 Oh ! bow could you nave done so when I loved you over so much I" Beguiling the widow with a specious tale , the deserter effected bis escape , Ho Is still free. Ollleers arrived with warrants , nnd , spurrud by promises of rich rewards , nro scurrying hero and thuro looking for the fulso one , while Mrs. Taylor still Mrs , Tay lor mourns in the seclusion of her chamber. Newell Guild , an elderly Millford , Mass , resident bus become entangled In n $10,090 breach of promise suit in n peculiar way. lie recently mot a young lady , Caroline C Adams by name , and in some way the old Kcntluuiun got the impression that ulie wus a Miss Adams of whom souiu of his lady friends had spoken favorably to him , On the strength of this ho urged his suit , wus ac cepted , nnd went so fur as to secure a mar riage license , Ho then learned bia mistake and now refuses to wed Miss Adams , and she acordlngly brings suit.

BRAINED HIM WITH A BUGLE. General Itrlsbln Graphically Dcncrlbc * One nl'llie Most Cruel I'lirlU.s Iu the History of Indian \\urfnvc * Kvory Mnnn Hero. The 21st of December , ISSii , says GPII- oral Urlsbin in the Chicago Tunes , will bo remembered us long in the Powder river country ns the lioth ot .lime , 1870 , will be remembered in the valley of the Little Hig Horn. On the former dtitu fell Colonel Fot.terniaii , Citotnin Fred erick Brown , Lieutenant George \V. Grunnnorul , sovonty-slx enlisted men , and two citizens. On the hitter dale fell General Ctistor , eleven olllcors , 2SI onlihted men , uud throe elti/.ens. Tlvo massacres marked epochs in the history of Indian warfare in our country. With the Intlm- massacre we have nothing to do here , it is still fro.sh iu he minds of men , and thousiuida of pens have told the MK ! story of ( . 'lister's folly and the sacrilieo of his bravo and devoted command. With the former massacre it is our purpose and province to deal in thia sketch of the I'owdor river country. On the day of the massacre the chil dren who had boon outside of the giUvs of the fort playing , ran in shouting , "Indians , Indians ! ' ' At the .same tiim1 the scouts on 1'ii-Uot hill signalled that the wood-train had been attacked. The wagons were also reported as having gone into corral not far from the fort. Colonel Fetlcrinati was detailed , and Lieutenant Grummoiid , nt his own re quest , wont with Fottorman , Captain Hrown wont without orders. The de- tnchmcnl under Kottormau , when it marched out , of the fort , consisted of himself , Lieutenant , ( irummond. Cap tain Brown , and Whctitloy. the guide , and Fisher , an experienced froutiei'-- niaii , with seventy-six enlisted men. Colonel Carringtoti sny.s ho gave FeHer man particular orders to relieve the train , and under no circumstances to go bnyoud Dodge Trail ridge. Col onel Carrington repeated his orders to the mounted party. After Fetternian had started , it being ascertained there wus no medical olliuer with the com mand , Carrington sent Dr. Hiues with an orderly to overtake FoUcrmnn and report to him. The doctor soon re turned and said the train had gone on to the woods and that Colonel Fetter- man was on the ridge with hosts of In dians in his front. Dr. IIiuos said be saw so many Indians to the right lie could not join Fettorinau. Pretty soon firing was heard and it was very sharp for a time. The Indians were falling back and Fetternian following them steadily. The firing died away for a time , but was soon renewed with such rapidity it was evident to all that heard it a battio was in progress. Iu about twelve minutes Captain Ten Kyclt , Lieutenant MaUon , Dr. Hines , and Dr. Ould marched out with a relieving party to support Fettermau. They moved at a double-quick ; and made straight for the ridge where Fottorman was lighting. Hn bad now disappeared over the ridge at what was known as Sullivan's hill. It was evident ho wus driving the Indians and it was hoped he would bo successful in winning the battle. The firing was increasing all the time and Colonel Carrington or dered all the garrison to muster , and the wagons und ambulances to be hitched up. TIIK DKATH STUrOOLK HAD COJIK and every ono seemed to know it. There were two heavy volleys , then some shuro file-firing , and all was quiet over the hill. Had Colonel Fetterman suc ceeded in beating the Indians or was he himself beaten ? The movement ofTen Ton Eyck's party was watched with in tense anxiety. Just before Captain Ton Eyck reached the top of the ridge all firing beyond it ceased. Hither Fettermau had gained n great victory or ho was himsclt sur rounded and being slaughtered. The strainatlir.it was terrible. It seemed an age , but it was really only a few min- uteR , until Orderly Siuuplo was seen re turning at full speed on Ins horse to the fort. He brought the nn\vs \ that the valley beyond the ridge was filled with hundreds of yelling Indians and that nothing could bo scon of Fettermau or his men. They challenged Ten Kyek to coino on and made a movement to his right as if to cut him oil' from the fort. Ten Hyck , seeing ho could not light witli his looblo force one-half the In dians iu uis front , fell back steadies a short distance , but soon advanced again as the Indians seemed to _ be rumiing away. Ho was very cautious , but the Indians were evidently withdrawing to the oast. The skirmishers soon eamo upon the bodies of Fotterman and liis party , all killed , ficalpod , and many of them horribly mutilated. Fotterman and Captain Brown wcro found at a point nearest the fort , each with a re volver-shot in the left temple and both so scorched with powder as to leave lit tle doubt they hud shot each other when all hope of KUCCCSS or escape had lied. \\rhoatley and Fisher were found near a pile of Hocics surrounded by exploded cartridge shells , allowing their Henry riilos had done good execution before they were captured and killed. Tlioro wore iiiiO Winchester shells lying nbout Jim Whoatloy's rock. The men lav on the top of a narrow ridge over which the road ran. They had evidently been drawn into a trap and attacked on all sides by overwhelming numbers. Thorn was a ravine beyond whore they had lirst , been assaulted and then retreated to the ridge to make thulr death stand. All the evidences of the ground showed they had fought well , but not a man wns left to tell the tale of how they ought. A bugler boy hud IvILLKI ) AN INDIAN" WITH HIS IIUQI.K. A soldi or was found grasping a naked gun-barrel in iiis stiffened lingers. An other hold a buteher-kiiifu in his dead hand and half the blade was broken oil in the body of tin Indian. Captain Ten Kyek recovered nnd brought Into the fort forty-inno bodies of Fettermun'd command , including the colonel's and Brown's. Lieutenant Grutnmoud'b body could not be found. It was long after dark when Captain Ten Eyck returned with his sad burden of forty-nine dead men , who marched ou U of that fort at noon full of hope , strength , and vigor.

Captain William .1. Fotterman was the bou of a military father , Captain George Fottermuu long since dead , William Fottormaii was appointed llrst lieutenant in the Eighteenth infantry , May 14 , 1801 , and became captain in Oc tober , 18ttl. Ho served throughout the war , and was brovetted for gallant con duct at the battles of Murfrcesboro , Tonn [ , Jouesboro , Tenn , , and on the Atlanta campaign , lie was bravo , but impulsive. Ho had a great contumpt for the Indian , and this feeling brought him to ruin , and with him nearly a hundred others. Ho was a good , kindhearted - hearted gentleman , and was sincerely mourned by his comrades. At the lime of his dentil ho was the senior captain in his battalion. Captain Fred Hrowu , , w.ho was killed witli Colonel Fottormnu , rose from the ranks. Hu was appointed second lieu tenant Oct. 110 , 1801 , in the Eighth in fantry , llr.st lioutoi.ant March 21 , 1802 , and captain May lo , 1800 Ho was hre- vetted for galhint conduct on the At lanta campaign. Ho was a bravo man hut very impulsive nnd always wanting to tight. Ho got onoughiof it at last. George \V. UrummOnd was appointed second lieutenant , Eighteenth infaiury. May 7,1800 , and was Mcillbd in the fall of the sumo year. Ho Volunteered to go with Fottermau and of coui-so know nothing about Indiiins. Ho left a young mm spirited 'wife who at first was very bitter against Currlngtou for the loss of her husband and blamed the colonel for causing herliUHbaud'H death , but she ia uowCarrington's second wife , BO that if he lost her a husband ho sup plied her with ono and that makes it oven for Mona. Tills is the pitiful story of the Phil Konrny massacre , which never need have happened. Like the Custor imis- sacro , it was the result of rashness and the pity Is not HO much that Fottorman and Custor were killed as that BO many poor follows were killed with them. Since writing the foregoing I have viaited the Fottorman massacre ground nnd inspected it carefully , making photographs of the important points. It is about twenty miles from this post ( Fort MoKinnoy , "VYyo. ) It is on the main road from Buffalo to Sheridan nnd Fort Ouster. The old fort Phil Kearney was at the crossing of Piney creek , a rapid mountain stream of clear , cold water and now stocked with trout. A farm covers the parade ground , and hardly a vestige of the old fort remains. I called at l.ho farmer's house. Mr. Fos ter , and to my surprise found ho know little about old Phil Kearny or Fetter- man 's massacre. "Yes , " he said in re ply to a question , "ho knew there had been a fort there ouco , and some men had been killed , but it was a long tjmo ago , before ho came to this conn try , and ne knew little about it.1' He' had bought the laud and the parade ground was now a wheat Held. The Cfoldcu grain was waving in the broe/.o and the bright sun shine streamed down over meadow and field. Mr. Foster had cut down the flagstaff , but said ho could show me whore it had stood , as the "stump" was still in the ground. lie did not half like our going into the grain , but was finally persuaded to ac company us. Wo found where the ilag- stalT had stood , and knowing the form of the fort , I could from the stnIT readily imagine how the buildings had stood. 1 found the line officers' quarters and walked up it to the site of the command ing olllcors' quarters , wliero Colonel Carriugton and his wife had spent so many anxious , sad , and unhappy days and uiglits. I stood on the very spot over which hnd boon the bedroom of the beautiful but llery Mrs. Grummoiid and to which she returned a sad and lonely widow the night after the mas-sa- cre. ' Ilor house was next to ( 'olouol Carriugtou's , and I walked to the spot and blood on the MI mo earth that her feet had pressed more than twenty yoarri ago , on the day wlu-u she gave Colonel Carriugton such a tongue lash ing for the loss of her hunband. It all came back to me , ouch house rose again before me and stood there with the hundred incidents connected with it and its inmates. I rolloctcd so long Farmer Foslor said : "I guess we will got a cold dinner if wo do not hurry liucit tc the house. " Over beyond the fort was the grave yard who'ro the massacred men Iio buried. It was on the slopu of the hill mid a full quarter of a mile from the fort. Oneo it had been foacoii but the lire had burned the grass and some of the posts , and then the place being partly fallen down the farmers soon helped out the lire by hauling away the rust of the posts and palings. The ulaco was now open and the cattle had trampled over and dunged upon the graves , It made me mad to think the government would allow the graves of bravo soldiers who surrendered their lives iu its defense to bo thus neglected and desecrated. I wrote a hot letter to the war dupartmoiit expressing my feel ings , hut 1 reckon it will do no good , Some of the graves had boon opened and the bodies taken out , but only a few. The officers' graves were all there except Grummoud'ri. which stood open and deserted. Hln wife took his remains back cast with her to TennoH- see when she wont homo alter the inus- Huuro. The bodies or enlisted men lie in one common grave , a trench fifty feet long by eight wide and sovou deep. The earth had been heaped up in a long mound over the dead and was Htlll raised except in ono or two places whore it has eunk as earth does in graves whore the collln has rotted away. I should think from the appoar- nnco of the ground the collln H are still in n good state of preservation , ana the bodies well preserved. The form of the grave is as follows : KNUBTKD JIJJN.
