Xewa From Kortl.
Loxdos, February 14. This afternoon the
Standard publishes a dispatch from
its correspondent at Korti stating that
a messenger had just arrived at Korti. He
declaies that Khartoum has not been cap
tured by the Mahdi. The messenger as-.crts
that he left Khartoum six days after Colonel
Sir Charles Wilson appeared before the city
in the boats sent from Gubat, and when he
(the messenger) left, General Gordon still
held Khartoum. The government officials do
not believe the messenger's story, and state
that no official information confirmatory of it
has been received.
I
Another dispatch from Korti states that
messengers who arrived from Khartoum profess
ignorance regarding the fall of Khartoum or
of the death of General Gordon. The Mudier of
Sangala refuses to credit the reports concern
ing the capture oi Khartoum by the Mnhdi
and the massacre of General Gordon and
garrison. The authorities here announce,
this afternoon, that they do. not believe'that
the messenger's statement rests on a satisfac
tory basis.
Latest Froin Suaklni.
Si'iKiH, February 14. Spies report a large

dttails of the British victories at Abu Klea
and Gubat, but they consider tbem unimpor-
tant. compared with tbe prophet's .sucw--i

EI-Mahdi and all, apparently, are greatly
elated.

Tramp Wreck a Train.
La whence, Kansas, February 14. There
was an attempt made yesterday by three
tramps to wreck the east-bound Sante Fe
passenger train. The party boarded the
train at Topeka and refused to pay fare. As
there were no stops betweeen Topeka and
Lawrence, the conductor did not attempt to
put them off, but waited until the train ar
rived here, when he locked the doors of the
car nnd demanded their fares or threatened
to have them arrested. Opening a window
they escaped and walking down the track
broke a lock on the switch and turned it.
The engine was ditched but the rest of the
train was saved by the slow Epeed at which
the train was moving. As it was, a few
bruises to the engineer and fireman was all
the pers nal damage done. The wreck was
cleared so that trains were moving by noin.
Two of the parties have been captured and
the third has been traced to Leavenworth,
Kansas.

ment to perform labor in the United States,
its territories and District of Columbia."
Considerable debate arose on the bill.
Messrs. Hawley, Blair and Ingalls addressed
the Senate.
Mr. Shermau defended the bilL It was
directed not against freemen, but against
men whs were not their own masters, who
did not come as free individuals, but were
imported in a body at p:earranged prices, to
compete with free and intelligennmerican
workingmen. It was not race discrimina
tion. . Sherman had voted against the Chi
nese bill, and would havc( opposed this bill if

WAsmsGTON.Febraary 1 4. House. When
the House met this morning ia continuation
of Friday's session, Willis moved that the
House go into committee of the whale on the
river and harbor bill and pending amend
ment, and then moved that all debate be lim
ited to one hour and a half.
Turner, (Georgia), rising to a point of or
der, said that when the gentleman made the
latter motion yesterday the point was made
that this was not' in older. The point had
been overruled, an appeal taken, and the mo
tion made to lay the appeal on the table. The
announcement had been made that, on this
motion, the yeas bad it, whereas it appeared
from the Record this morning, that the vote
stoo'a, yeas, 95; nays, 103.
Speaker pro tern (Blackburn) stated that
the Record was in error. The journal, which
was the official organ of the house, fhowed
that the appeal had been laid on the table.
The vote was yeas, 131; nays, 104.
On motion of llolman, a session was ordered
for tonight for the consideration of the legis
lative appropriation bills.
The regular order having been de
manded, the speaker announced the
regular Older to be the consideration
of the pension bills.coming over from last
night's session.
Willis said it was clearly the intention of
the bouse yesterday to devote this morning's
session to the consideration of the river and
harbor bill; and asked unanimous consent
that the regular order be suspended with, but
Reed objected.
The first bill coming over was one granting
a pension of $2,000 per annum to the widow
of General George 11. Thomas, and after de
late it passed yeas, 143; nays, 52.
Willis then renewed his motion, and Reed
made the point that the postoflice appropria
tion bill must be considered as the preious
question, having been ordered.
The speaker overruled the point on the
ground tint it was understood that the bill
should not come up until the reading of Fri
day's journal, and held that this morning's
session was but a prolongation of last night's
session.
Kelly thee made a point of order that un
der that ruling no bussines- was in order but
the consideration ot the pension bill.
The speaker over-ruled the point of order.
The house had disposed of all business cotn
i ng over from last night and it was now
competent for it to proceed to other business.
Kelly appealed from the decision and
Willis moved today the appeal on the table.
The latter motion was agreed to 132 to 3.!.
After half an hour consumed by the speaker
in ruling upnu points of order, answering
parliamentary inquiries and in endeaoricg,
rather unsuccessfully, to suppress the disorder
and confusion on the floor the question re
curred on Willis's motion to limit the debate
on the pending section of the river and har
bor bill to one und a half hours and it was
agreed to and then the house went into com
mittee of the whole, Hammond in the chair,
on bill indicated.
After the reading of the pending section by
the clerk, a discussion arose as to how the
hour and a half allowed for debate should be
distributed, and the chair asked the aid of the
committee to enable him to put a bushel into
a peck measure. Pi oposition after proposition
was made, and plan after plan suggested, but
all proved unsatisfactory, and no arrange-
ment was arrived at and the power of recog-

I Turner, (Georgia), raised a point of order
acaiast the Hennepin anal paragraph.
He
contended that in repotting this clause to the
House the committee on rivers and harbors
had exceeded .its ' jurisdicticn and
bad exceeded
infringed upon tbc jurisdiction of
the committee on railros.ls and canals. The
Hennepin canal clause was no moregermaine
to the bill than would.be a proposition to
cocstrnct an elevated railroad from ocean
to ocean or to d;g the Nicaragua canal.
It also clashed ,with the rules,
in that it changed the existing law and was
not ic the direction of the retrenchment of
expenditures. ,
Henderson argued thar if there was any
fo-ce at all in the objection that the
committee on rivers and harbors
had not jurisdiction over the subject, that ob
jection was waived by the house when it re
ferred bill to the committee of the whole.
Mitchell prcseited me-jiorial of the Legis
lature of Pennsylvania urging the reimburse
ment by the United States to the State of
Pennsylvania of all sun expended in defense
of the United States. Referred. Hale, from
committee on appropriations reported agricul
tural appropriation bill, with amendment.
He said the Senate Ccmtnittee's docket was
now. clear, this being the last.
Bills to quiet titles of' Des Moines river
settlers was then placed before the senate, and
Lapham continued his speech against it.

sensational trial Ilulord was adjudged a luna

Patrick MdCov, a blind inmate of the Na
tional Soldiers' Hume, at Dayton, recently
left the institution on a thirty dars' furlough.
Atthe time of his departure the circumstauce
was commented upon as it was supposed he
had no friends or relatives living. Since then
the following wonderful story has come to
light: About the middle ot last month a
stranger by the name of C. C. McCoy died
suddenly and mysteriously in Charlotte, N.
C. On his pcison were found papers which
identified him as a resident of Chester, S. C.
Among his effects was lound a will leaving
his property to a brother, Patrick McCoy,
whom he had not seen for years, and who he
thought was dead. Letters from Patrick,
written while serving his country,were found,
and from these he was Ucated by discovering
the regiment to which he belonged, the

tate which thus comes to the blind brother is
valued at $50,000. Patrick is now on his
way to Chester to take possession of his

A paragraph was published some dnys ago
in which it was sai I that Mrs. Mark Hop
kins, of California, had detorininod to build
a $5,000,000 re&idenco nt Great Harrington,
Mass. Itovious to that the Boston papers
had publkhed the report that tho bouse was
to cost only one-fifth that sum anl the
third and last report U that the amount
to be exiondd ia only SoOC.OOU It is
true, indeed, that Mr Hopkiin 13 going to
build a residence at Great Birrin'ton.
It is furthorm jra true that it u ti 1 a vory
expensive one; tho mo-t expensive probably
in Massachusetts, or even New England. It
will not cost so much as $5,00 ),0W, but it
will cot mora than SI 000.00O. The plans
aro completed and havo boon accepted.
They now r,t in the hmds of New York
architects nnd will not bo made public for
some time. Work on tho fou-idatior; of the
building will be commenced th3 oininj
spring ami Mrs. Hopkins expects to soo it
ready for occupancy throe years hen 3.
There is some interesting history woven in
and about the life ot MrsL ilark Hopkini
She is tho widow of Hark Ilopkins who was
ona of the five men of California who built
tho Central Pacific railroad and niado each
a princely fortune out of it. The others
were Leland Stanford, C P. Huntington,
and the two Crockers. Hopkins was the
treasurer of tho company from its organiza
tion in 1SG1 or thereabout, till his death in
167S. He left an estate that was inventoried
at &l,?0O,0O3L
He die I without having mado a will and
without children. By the common laws Mrs.
Hopkins would havo been entitled to only
one-third of the immense estate. The courts
made her the executrix, and 0 took poses
sion, but tho two brothers of her deceived
husband, Moses an 1 Samuel, or rather Moses
and the sons of Samuel, for tho latter had
died, brought a suit against her "and secured
her removal from thj executorship of the es
tate, and an accounting of it The matter
was finally compromised, Moses Ilopknu
and the torn of Samuel Hopkins Leing con.
tent to receive together some f4,000,000 in
hard cash. Mrs. Hopkins got the remainder,
which, as already stated, now amounts to
about ?S,000,000. Thus do we come to
know who Mrs. Mark Hopkins is and how she
became so rich.
Before Mark Ilopkins died he built the
first of those palatial residences that have
sinco excited the wonder and admiration of
all who have in tho past ten years visited
the city of San Francisco. It was con
structed of wood, like all the others of its
class, but had about it all tho elaborateness
and extravagance of some of the finest
English country kou-es. It was said to
have cost $l,fOJ,000, and at that tiim the
Stewart residence in Now York city was the
only dwelling-house in America that had
cct that sum. It was tho Hopkins mansion
that mado Knob Hill tLe fashion-ible quar
ter of San Francisco. All havo beanl of tho
splendid residences that Governor Stanford,
James Flood and other California million
aires have since built there. Stnce her hus
baniVs death Mrs. Ilopkins ua3 purchased
Meulo park, Italston's famous country place,
and there she has settled ber ndoptol son
James, a young man of 20, who recently
married a Miss Crittendea, of California, a
niece of Mrs. Hopkins.
. Notwithstanding, all the-e .larn "93PJS j
svons, not to speaK or otuers on tue l"acific
slope, Mrs. Hopkins proposes to make her
home in ber husband's native town
of Great Harrington, Moss. She has
always had an affection for the place and
comes there liecauso its pecplo an 1 surroun J
ings are congenial to their tastes. Earing
recent years Mrs. Hopkins has coino horu to
spend her summer. It was thero that she
lived when a young girl, and there that she
was married. Wncn she grew rich she
added the porticoes, put colored glass in
some of the windows and furnished it lux
uriantly. The carpets in every room aro as
soft as down, tho chairs aro of antique ma
hogany upholstered in yellow silk plush.
Every bit of pottery, every piece of bronse,
every foot stool, every sofa, lounge, chair,
stand, vaso or w uatover it may be, bears
evidence of having been selected with culti
vate! taste.
The new dwelling that is to supplant the
ol I will be ITS by 143 feet and will lie built
of blue dolomite. It is a very hard stone, of
finer grain than granite, and is obtained
from a neighboring quarry owned by Mrs.
Hopkins hciJelf. Tho exterior walls are to
show the st 3ne in rough surface with cut
seams. Tl e tab!os"and the coachman's cot
tage aro already built. They are of tho
same dolomite to be employed in tho con
struction of the resi lence and look as though
they would enduro through all the ages to
come. I cannot give a de cription of the
residence fur the excellent reason that I havo
not seen the drawings.
Tho ground u;wn which Mrs. Hopkins is to
build her castle extends a hundred yards
along, the principal street, and Kick of it, to
the south a little, is a level mea low valley
that runs ell along tbe shore of the Uousa
tonic and to the foot of the picturesque Berk
shire hills on the other side. In the mid it of
this smooth meadow field is an artificial
basin in which is a fountain from which in
summer springs a stream of water nearly a
hundred feet into the air and corner down in
a mist that is as soft as a silken veiL
Mrs. Hopkins is a woman of great strength
of character. She is well fitted to care for
the vast estate left her. Both in appearance
and in mental characteristics she is strongly
masculine, bhe is of commanding appear
ance, and one is nlwoys made to feel, when
in her presence, that she has tbe unniMak
able elements of superiority. She is thor
oughly acquainted with all the ways of busi
ness, has a broad grasp of financial ques
lions, looks after ber vast interests with the
closest minuteness, and dnves a barg in with '
tact aud economy. Her husband was pas
sioiaf ly fond of horses; so is she. Her
stable at Great Harrington is ono of the com
pletest an 1 most comfortable in the country.
Its inmates are of the finest breeding and
movement, and are looked after by their
colored master k ith the greatest care. Dur
ing her vi-it to Great Barringtou Mrs, Hop
kins may be seen on the afternoon of every
fair day driving out behind a pair of fine
trotters, sha herself holding tho reins. She
makes lung excursions about the surround
ing country, and every inhabitant, young or
old, knows her. She is tho gnat woman of
Great Harrington.
