It Is now learned that Ibis man is S. J, McCartney, a saloon-keeper ot Huntsvllle. Last night tbe woman's husband found out that she was boarding at Brown's, on West Jefferson St. He reported this toofficer Condron, who went to' the House and told Mrs. Enoch that she must go to tbe station house. She, of course, didn't like this, and several of tbe members of tbe base ball dab, who were present, Interfered and told the officer be could not take the woman. Notwitbstand Standing the ball tossers' objections, officer Condron took ber to the station house. Here she met her husband, who begged her to go back home with him. Tbe woman refused to have anything to do with blm, and would not even talk to him. She told tbe officers that she left ber liege lord once be fore and was fool enough to go back again, but that she couldn't be coaxed again, Enoch and bis wile formerly lived here. Last night Officer Wilion arrested a fellow named Wilson Welsh on tbe charge of disor derly conduct.' Welsh is a bard looking cut tomer, and be very frequently becomes over balanced from too much bad whisky. At such times he goes home and demands money from h's mother, who is a very respectable lady about sixty-five years old. If she refuse him he amuse himself by pitching tbe furniture out of the bouse and abusing bis mother. This afternoon, in Mayor's Court, Welsh's nged mother appeared and told tbe Mayor that she hsd cared long enough lor ber son, and although she hated to see blm In prison, she thought It would be better for him. The Mayor fined him $5 and cost. Welsh begged to be let off this time, and told the Mayor that he would leave town.

Aecw'jjg Sir Peter Lumadea of Deoeptio ud Claiming that England Hat Deserted Them. ngland Wants to Arbitrate the Question Whether Raul Tlroke the Agreement Severe Shock of Earthquake la Austria. kvolaitd's FAn.unit to lurroirr m AFGHANS. London, May 2. A dispatch from Tur pul dated April 23, says that the Afghani seem enraged at the failure of England to supported them after their advance to I'ullk hlstt which brought on General KomarorTs attack. They accuse Sir Peter Lumsden ol deceiving them ami claim that England has deserted them the same way that Russia did In 1878. The representative of Afghanistan who has been at Sir Peter Lumsden's head quarters to advise him ot the Ameer's views a to the proposed boundaries has made a formal protest against the course of the British Commissioner. He declares that It was' shameful to encourage the Afglians to resist the occupation of Penjdeh and then to abstain from rendering them assistance when attacked. It Is believed at Sir Peter's headquarters that tills attitude of the Af glians Is studied and insincere and that It indicates some new and unfriendly design on tho part of the Ameer. The situation may perhaps be summed up by quoting the usually conservative Berlin eorrcsuondent of the tktUy Tclegmih: "I gave you yesterday to understand," he says, "that the question of peace or war would be denied within a week, I can now add that definite Information on this all-important point will forthcoming on Monday or Tuesday next at latest It Is possible that all suspense will be at an end tills week. Everything depends on the answer now awaited from Russia to the firm demands recently put forward by our Government I cannot with the data at my disposal, hold out niuch hope that Russia's reply will be of a satisfactory character." The Moscow Gazette actually has the face to accuse the British officers attached to the frontier commission of untruthfulness. The Intelligence of the renewed advance of the Russian troops tends to confirm the Impres sion that the affair has now passed beyond diplomatic action and Into a purely military question, to be solved by force of arms. This recalls Blsmnrck's famous saying, "War is not likely to break out until both tho disputing parties begin to issue docu ments." An official announcement la mode that It will probably bo considered necessary soon to prohibit ail easels from entering Port Phillips, the port of Melbourne, between sunset and sunrise. .The Dally Neie (Government organ) con firms the Standard's report that England has proposed arbitration of the question whether Russia broke the agreement of the 17th of March. The A'etc also states that the Czar Is favorable to the plan, and that be deprecates making the question one merely of veracity between General Koma roff and Sir Peter Lumsden. The Standard lias a dispatch from Tirpul dated April 28, stating that the Russians have ocenpted Kahvl-Maur, on the Kusbk River, about twenty mites south of Penjdeh, and are making a military road from there east to Marochuk on tbe Murghab River. Small-pox of the most violent type broke ortajncUie3ssadlanbeitiiien ea route to their homes since their arrival here.

RUSSIAN CORVETTE STRELOK. Visited by Large Number or Persons In New York Harbor-Knllstlng Able Seamen. New York, May 2. Quite a number of people visited tho Russian Corvette Strelok yesterday despite tho rain. They were cordially received. Tho vessel has a fast but not very powerful npixmrance. En gineer Vennlk, when asked If the crew feared a brush with tho Garnet, said: "O, no. She Is stronger and laiger, but we have courage." The looks of the men seemed to warrant the remark. Nearly all were above the av erage height and of Intrepid appearance. They were all very courteous. A small pigeon house filled with African birds modified the warlike appearance of tho ship. All over tho celling of the cabin wcro hung heavy revolvers mid around the floor were stacks of muskets. The men wcro stretched In sheltered places, half asleep. A painting of Christ behind a litllo altar occupied one of tho cabins. Opposite were pictures of the Czar and the Empress of Russia. Captain bkrjdlolT was not aboard. It wus understood at the Russian consulate that lie was in conference at an up-town hotel with Consul General Poscn. Some stalwart oung Russians stood around tho door of tho consulate. One who spoke En glish told a reporter that tho Strelok was short of seamen.and that enlistments wcro beliur mode. The men wcro notified to be aboant not later than seen lost night Consul General Poscn was seen htor nnd asked about the Strclok's mission. Ho laughingly confessed his ignorance.
