PETITIONS for the relief ot the Missia- aippi sufferers continue to poor ip upon tha Senate, says a Washington telegram, and early action on some of the bills pending will be taken. The recommendations of tbe Missis­ sippi River Commission will no doubt be adopt­ ed, but a contest will arise on the proposition for repairing and rebuilding the leveee. The sum reqnired for this purpose will run up into the millions, and it may be expected that the Eastern Senators will oppose it as far as possible, and aim to limit the amount. On the other side, Southern and Western men are de­ termined to take advantage of the universal sympathy felt for the people driven from the flooded lands, to institute a radical means of remedy for these troubles. DORSET pleaded "not guilty" in tbe Criminal Court at Washington to the star-route indictment....The new (Garfield) Christian Church at Washington, to cost $40,- 000, will be commenced at once. The West will bo aaked for #15,000 to complete the amount. The prospects of p»»aiug the bill for the admission of Dakota at this session are very unlavorable.

After this there waa no other action taken, and the boys were remanded to jaiL The general understanding is that this action waatatam in accordance with the Governor's views on the premises, and that a pardon of both of them will reach here in the course of a day or two. The Governor, it ia understood, was opposed to trying them, because he con­ siders that they have done the State a great service, and are entitled to a pardon at once. The people can rest assured that the boys will be free in a very short time, and there will end tbe great sensation. VnakJaaes Orgaalslag a Oaag el Vesperadem ta Aveaga m» Bratti- .. 0t*m Doatb. A telegram from Atchison, Kan., says: Frank James is at the head of a movement which has for its aim the extermination of all whose names are associated with the death. The fact is known to a few that Frank passed through Atchison on Friday, goiug south­ west, haying four people with him; that on the same day Mra, Jen.se James went to Kan­ sas City. Testerdaf Frank James returned from a mysterious visit, followed by the same pals. My informant states that the gang of whioh Frank James will now take the lead is taken from that section of the country in the Missouri bottoms opposite here whioh produced Polk Wells, Bill Norris, Jim Dougherty, John Pomfrey and many others, composed of the game class and material, having for its purpose the avenging of the death of Jesse James and other lawless deeds. To this gang will be added a few tried mountain outlaws that Frank James picked up daring a residence for some time in New Mexico on a snydl sheep ranch. Robert and Charles Ford are never to enjoy a moment's peace, no matter what the advice or assurance from Gov. Crittenden. These brothers begin where Jesse James left off. They will be hunted and hounded as persist­ ently as he was. Were the reward they are supposed to obtain twenty timee $50,000 it will not purchase one day's rest, one peaceful meal or bieased night.

He was soon at himself, however, and, with a careless "All right," said: "Come along, let's go to Ray." A brief conference was had between Bobert and Charley, Sheriffs Tunberlake of Clay, and Trigg of Bay, Marshal Craig of Kan­ sas Oity, some lawyers and others, and it waa agreed that the entire party would go to Kan­ sas City, thence to Richmond.

Jesse Jamas rslates the fallowing story of her husband1* career as a ••sbe»- ^it She is the . daughter ' of highly respsoted parents, who have lived In or nsar Kansas City for over tbbtryoan, and, as dbe remarked, she had lived here "ever blase die could remember, natal she married " Their oourtabip was a highly romantic They were firat cousina, aad their be­ trothal waa bitterly oppoeed by her parents. Mm was sentimental, however. Mid eapsssasd bar determination to follow Jesse's fortunes wherever they might lead, and te prevent aa elopement the old people consented to the en­ gagement This waa in I860, just after Jesee bad been made an outlaw under the civil cods •ncaprioeeet upon bhupgsoa. Thalr court- ship lasted Ave years, during whfah time Jesse frequently visited hia inamorata at the maidenoe of her parenteinthis city, end she several tonea went to his mother's, Mra. Samuels', at Kearney, toaee him by appointment During one of theee visits the two were together in the yard at the Samuels residence when a party of five men, led by one of Pinkerton's detectives, went to the house, and all tbe time they were searching the place Jesse lay on the ground within twantyfeet or I be door under the shadow of a rose-rash, while bis 'WlMwl waa accreted in a fenoe cor­ ner. Mra. James says that Jesae haa frequently since that if he had killed a couple of those men it might have aaved hia step-brother's life and his mother's arm, but he refrained because be was afraid bis sweetheart might be injured in the mciee. They were married April 24, 1074. at tbe residence ot the bride's sister, Mra. W. B. Browder, of Kearney, tbe Rev. William James, a oonsin, officiating, and the following month they went to Sherman, Tex., where a taster of Jesse lives. There Mrs. James passed as a cousin ot Jesse's sister, without giving any particular name, and be was in and out of the city constantly, because he was fearful of being followed by tbe officers for the Hot Springs robbery, whioh was com­ mitted in January of that year, and tbe Gad's Hill robbery, which occunred in the same month. The first of these he was not iu. HO Mrs. James says, but admits he was in the lat­ ter, and as both were charged to him ho deemed it wise to act as though he really had been them At this point Mrs, James took occasion to denounce the reported estimate of Jesse's atealings, which, if true, would have made him a rich man at his death. She declares that so far from having had at any one titna $600,000, he never had tnat sum in all his life, putting every cent into the calculation. The Gad's Hill affair netted about $2,000, of which he received one-fifth, and upon that they went to Texas for their honeymoon. Things grew hot in Sherman, and they moved to Dallas u September, where they remained until the winter of 1874 and 1875, when Mra, James re­ turned to Kansas City and visited her sister, Mrs. McBride, and other relatives for several months, while Jesse went on a scout. It was about this time that the Corinth, Miss., and Muncie, Kan., robberies were committed, in both of whioh Jesso participated, but the amount secured his wife says she does not know. When he returned, however, he had plenty of money, and they then moved to Edgefield, Tenn., a small village near Nashville, and re­ mained there until the fall, when they removed to Baltimore. It was in Edgefield that the boy who now begins to look ku muoh like his father was born, and Mrs. James declares the child was but 9 days' old when the Huntingdon (W. Va.) robbery took place, and that instead of being there, Jesse was with her and the baby in Nashville at that time, living under the name of J. D. Howard. They removed to Bal­ timore in November, 1875, and remained there one year, or at least she did; but Jesse was away a good deal of the time, and she says she does not know where, except that he was at the Centennial one week, where he saw a great many pe<«ple from Missouri whom he knew very well, but who did not know him. It was about this time that the Baxter Springs, Kan., and Otterville, Mo., robberies were perpetrated, but she disclaims all knowU edge of Jesse's complicity in them. In speak­ ing of the Huntingdon affair, Mrs. James bucks up the assertion that Jesse was at Edgefield at that tune, on the statement which she says can be veridod, that about that time he bought two car-loads of flour from a Nashville miller named O. F. O'Neil on speculation, and took it to Savanuan, Ga, where he sold it under the as­ sumed name of Howard. From Baltimore they agti^u returned to Davidson county, Tenn., near Nashville, where they rooted a small farm, and Jnm went tote the fast-horse imsmeas. Tbero they, at rather she, continued to live until Mareh last Among the horses which be owned during that time, and whioh have atooe made a record for themselves, were the colts Jim Scott and Jim Malone, the latter of which he aeld to John Greenough, a druggist of Naahville, for $2,000, and whioh won two valuable purses in St. Louis the vear after, under the name of Jim Greenough. During this time the noted bandit was also a delegate from tins district to the Nashville Democratic Convention whioh nominated Gov. Porter and a State ticket. Mrs. James remained on the farm in Davis county during the first Glendale and Burlington raids (the NorthAeld one was made during their residence in Baltimore), and her girl was born during her husband's absence on one of these. She says that Jt-sse always came straight home after an affair of that kind and remained there until the hue and cry WAS over, and that, so far as they knew, he was never suspected, as he was known as a horse-trader ana speculator, whose absence from home ivas not worthy of com- meut They concluded in March of last year that the search for Jesse was getting more thorough, tho safest place for them would be at home, and they accordingly returned to Kansas City, where they rented a house and hved from Jnne 1 to. Sept 1 under the name of J. F. Jackson. It' was in this house that the Blue Cut robbery was planned, and to which most of the men re­ turned after the affair. There they remained hidden for mora than a week, while the officers were scouring the eastern end of the county. Sept. 1 they removed, for fear that too long a resilience in one place might result in discovery. The house was not in good repair, however, raid •hey let tit in a month, Hearing that it would blow over,as it almost did during a severe storm. They then removed to the street where they first hved, where they remained a month and two days. At the end of that time, something having oooum d to arouse suspicions on Jesse's part,, ihey removed to St Joseph, where they lived under their former alias of Howard. 'There they moved but onoe until the final tragedy ended the robber chief's life. She did not attempt te defend her husband's crimes, but declared that lie was charged with a thousand offenses he never committed, among which were the Kanaaa Oity exposition robbery, and various stage robberies in Colorado and Texas.

A terrible ejekme swept over toe town of Brownsville, Saline county, Ma, at 4:80 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Tbe entire business por­ tion of the town was demolished and seven persons lolled and between twenty and thirty others badly injured. The storm came from the southwest and was very similar to the one which destroyed the town of Richmond four years ago. The storm oamc np so suddenly that tbe first intimation the people had was a audden roaring sound, which was immediately fol­ lowed by the appearance ot a large black funnel-shaped oloud coming from the south­ west at the rate of at leaat 100 miles per hour. When the cloud was first notioed it was Appar­ ently about two miles distant and hung per­ haps fifty yards above tbe earth. When it reached the western part of town it dropped down almost to the ground, and seemed to draw everything within a radius of several hundred yards up into the mouth of the funneL It swept through the town, laying everything waste in its path. Two-story brick business houses were picked up like straws and whirled and twisted into shapeless ruins. Frame dwellings were carried some distance and dropped, smashing houses into fine kind­ ling wood. Heavy timbers were carried several hundred yards thrdbgh the air, and, falling end downward, stuck several feet into the ground. Occasionally the funnel seemed to strike the earth, and would rebound some distance into the air, only to fall again and continue its work of destruction. The storm lasted less than two minutes, but during that short space of time about twenty business houses and dwell­ ings were leveled to the ground. The storm came up so suddenly that the people had no time for preparation, and in fact scarcely any one knew what was coming until the storm was upon them. The people in the streets were Sicked up and carried various distances and urled to the ground dead or braised almost beyond recognition, while those in the build­ ings were buried by the falling walls and de­ bris. For some time after the storm passed the neople who were uninjured were«so terribly ex­ cited that nothing could be done. When they at last recovered from their consternation search for the dead and wounded was com­ menced. It was at first supposed that at least fifty persons hail been killed, but a thorough search revealed that only aeven were killed out­ right, fourteen mortally wounded, and aixteeD seriousls injured. Those killed j". E>. Scruggs, a farmer. Cla'ide Meyers, dry-] T. K. Arthur, clerl W. M. Williams, dork. Con White, City Marshal. ' J, S. Payne, minister. • James Miller, clerk.

Before resuming the testimony of Shipherd on the 15th tost., a letter was read from Mr. Blaine, signifying his wish to be heard by the committee in reference to Peru-Chili matters now under investigation. Mr. Belmont abandoned tbe witness (Shipherd), saying that as he had refused to answer several Questions which had a special bear­ ing on the case lie did not aee any w in wasting,any further time on him. In reply t:» a quettion by Mr. Lord, Shipherd said the dealings he had with Mr. Hurlbut were by tbe advice ot counsel. Being pressed on this. point he testified to effect tan to hie dealings with Mr. Hurlbut he had acted wholly ou the defensive. H* said that at the time he had the long interview with Mr. Blaine his chief and con­ trolling' interest was to aeuura, if poasible, the Sec­ retary attention to the matter. He said that when Mr. Blaine wed tbe remu-k, "That won't fetch him," he referred to Shipherd and thcte he repre­ sented, and the expreasion waa regarded % him aa a joooae remark, and not anecially sig­ nificant He would not state whether any Senator had received any stook to the company or not Some amusement ensued when Mr. Wilson endeavored to discover what considers*, tion was given Ooohet for his claim. Shipherd said he understood the oonsideratior paid for the claim was eminently satisfactory to all par­ ties. Before the Peruvian investigation, en the 18th, J. R. Shipherd testified that ho approached Walker Blaine as aa attorney norder to learn the worktoga of his father's mind in regard to the company's eohemes. The witness again declined to state the namee of the Directors of the Peruvian Company c? iu stockholders. Representative Deuster, after stating thatSbipherd had evaded every question of weight, moved that he be dieoiiaaed, but it was resolved to est him aside until next week.

Darwin, Anther •( the Theory at alia Descant of Idas. Charles R. Darwin, the well-known scientist died at London on the 90th of April, aged 73 years. He waa born at Shrewsbury, Feb. 19, 1809, aon of Dr. B. W. Darwin, F. B. S,, of tbe same place, and grandson of Dr. Erasmus Darwin, F. B. S., author of the " Botanic Gar­ dens," " Zoonomia," etc., and was educated at tbe grammar school at Shrewsbury. In 1826 he went to Edinburgh, attended the lectures at the university for two yeara, entered Christ's College, Cambridge, 1897, and took his degree in 1881. Capt Fitsroy, B. N., having offered to give up put of his own cabin to any one who would volunteer to accompany H. M. S. Beagle as naturalist, Mr. Darwin tendered his eervioes, and. sailed Dec. 97, 1888, in that veaael, for the survey of South America and the circnmnavi-' gation of the globe, returning to England Oct 2, 1836. Mr. Darwin published "Journal of Researches into the Geology and Natural History of tbe Various Countries, etc.," whioh appeared with a general account of the voyage by Capt FiUroy, but has since been published separately. In 1889 Mr. Darwin married the granddaughter of Josiah Wedgwood, F. R. 8., the well-known improver and manufacturer of earthenware. In addition to numerous papers on various scientific sub­ jects, Mr. Darwin edited the " Zoology of tbe Voyage of the Beagle," and wrote tnree sep- arate volumes on geology--viz : 4'The Struct­ ure aad Distribution of Coral Reefs," pub- • lished in 1842 ; " Geological Observations on Volcanic Islands," in 1844;. and " Geological Observations on South Amencaj • in 1846. Tne most important of Ms*. Darwin's subsequent works are a "Monograph of the Family Cirrln- pedia," publiehed by the Bay Society in lC51-'63. and on tee " Fossil Species," by the Pakeontographical Society. His " Origin of SpecMM by Means of Natural Selection," pub­ lished m 1869, which bas gone through several editions at home and abroad, has given rise to much controversy. It was followed by "Fertit- izationof Orchids,"in 1MS2, and "Domesticat­ ed Animals and Cultivated Plants ; or, the the Principles of Variation, Inheritance, Rever­ sion. Crossing, Interbreeding and Selection, under Domestication," to 1867. In 1871 he published the "Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex," two volume*. In this work tho author lufortocl that " man in ceuded from a hairy quadruped, iiuni-tit-d with a tail and pointed ears, proba&lv artxjreal in its habits." Mr. Darwin was elected a. mem­ ber of various foreign and English acientiac bodies, received from • tbe Royal Society tbe Royal and Copley medals lor nis various scien­ tific works, mid from tbe Geological Society the Wollaston Pailadian medal.
