nuuoam Jiry, a siauon on me l exas and
St. Louis railway about thirty miles east
of this city, by Tom P. Vardell, son of a
pron.inent stock man of Still county. A
ball or dancing party was given at the
house of a wealthy and respectable farmer
named Landa. a newcomer from Wiscon
sin, to which Vardell had been invited.
Yesterday Vardell with a young man
named Geo. Walker, came down to Waco
and bought a pistol and ammunition, and
returned to attend the dance. About mid
night Vardell induced one f Landa's
daughters, a yonng woman of about 18
years, to take a short walk with hrm sway
from the house. As soon as he thought
they were at a safe distance he drew a pis
tol and forced her to go further and
finally committed a brutal outrage
upon" her person. When the two
returned the young woman's
sister learning what had occurred made an
outcry and exposure of the crime, when
Vardell drew his pistol and made an as
sault upon her. At this point the father,
Mr. Lauda, made his appearance and order
ed the girls into the house, when Vardell
turned on him and shot him through the
heart and shot him again as he fell dead.
Vardell immediately "made bis escape in
the darkness, accompanied by Walker, who
seems to have aided and abetted the crime

THE JEAETTE SEARCH.
Washington, March 7. Under date of
Irkoutsk, Siberia, Dec. 8th, 1882, Lieut.
Ilarber writes the secretary of the navy,
giving a detailed report of his operations.
His party in their search for the missing
people of the Jeannettee party, left Ir
koutsk at midnight, June 23d, for the
Lena Delia. On July 3d they took in
atores left over by Melville, then fitted out
four parties with native boats. The inci
dents of the search are then described,
How they were frequently compelled to
wade and drag their boats for miles.
On the morning of August 21st they
reached Matrai, visited the tomb of De
Long and companions and put four heavy,
bolts through the standard and arms of the
cross in accordance with Melville's re
quest. Thence the search was continued to the
northward and on the 31st they reached
the spot where De Long and party were
found. The search was made to see if
anything remained hidden under the snow.
Nothing of consequence was found. Re
turning the party reached Bulin on the
16th of September and the sea ch was
continued by Lieut. Harber and Mr.
Schultz on sledges until November 6th.
No trace of Chipp or his partv or his
boat was discovered by the searchers or
any nativ3. The balance of the report
relates to the arrangements for the re
moval of the remains of Da Long and party.
