His antagonist, Shoemaker, claims to be elected in the district by 740 ma-~ Jority. ‘At the trial of certein of these Shoemeker Republicans for fraud in Wilkesbarre, Pa., the first witness was one Patrick Cochran, & Judge of Election at - Beranton, who, in & lengthy stetement, deposed that while at Shoe- maker’s office a few days before the election, the latter offered & §10 bill which he took from his pocket, and promised him more if he would roll him up s ma; ?—gvtrve in the Twelfth Ward of Scran- Lon, whioio Duusiz orsavan Rapnblinang OUT'of 250 voters. He Was subsequontly vlered $175 to make the majority for Shoemaker sure in his district.

Stewart. of Lackawanns, ‘offered to psy him $125 for the same purpose, ' Cochran avowed that Shoemaker said to him, “ Couldn’t you munago to balance the vote in counting the tickets ?” Thus far, the investi%;ation did not partake of #he characler of the political joke it was eaid to be, and there' i6 considerablé unessiness men- ifested at the nasty turn affairs have taken.

Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. IMPORTANT DECISION. WasziNeTox, D. C., Oct. 26.—The Maryland Supreme Court has just decided an important question, affecting the religious belief of wit- nesses. The cage in point was an action for debi, where the defence makes the objection of incompetency to & witness because of his want of religious belief. The objection was founded on the oid common law rule, as well as & provis- ion in the State Constitution, gruqdmg that a belief in the existence of a God, with 2 system of futuro reward and punishment, was the only requisite. It was shown by dircet testimony ot impeach the witnees that, 6o far as could be athered from hig expressions, he camo within oth these limitations. - In rebuttal it was ehown that the witness did not believe in s personal God, but only in o Supreme Spirit pervading nature. The Court held that a belief in a personal God was not necessary, snd that the witness, by acknowledging merely the existence of & Su- preme Being or Power, established his ‘competency to testify.

Russell Errett declared that wo may vote for Grant, but ehall not speak for him, and another communication aske us for a donation to pay the expenses of the Grant orators.” JUSTICE DONE TO SCHURZ. The State Department of the Fifth Auditor of the Treasury have at last put o slander to silence in regard to Senator Schurz and his account ~ while ~ Minister at Berlin. The Administration papers were allowed day after day to repeat the slander that General Schwz _was largely in arrears to the Government, and that his accounts were not in & eatisfactory condition, intimating that he had dishonestly used the Govornment funds. Both the Treasury and State Department, now admit that the amount of £800, said to be overpaid to that gentleman he was fully entitled to CLERICAL LAZINESS. The practice. prevailing in nearly all the De- partments here among clerks and officials of do- ing but four or five hours’ work a day, has be- come g0 general that attention is led to it. Clerks fraquently do not begin thoir dutics until 10 o'clock in the morning, and take from half an hour to an hour for lunch between 12 and 1, and leave the office between 3 and 3. Commissioner Leggett bas issued the following order in the Patont Office, but neglects o explain his absence from the office week after week this summer for ‘political purposes : “ §ix hours a day is s short day's work, yet I am gorry to see & disposition in many ofticers and employes in the Patent Office to defraud the Government of -even & portion of that time. They reech their rooms and get resdy for work after 9 in the morning, and preparo for leaving before § in the evening, and not unfrequently take from half an hour to an hour to lunch at noon. This i8 an evil that must be stopped, and those who raist in it must give place to those more in- Hastrious and comsciontious. It is expected that all will be at their desks and at work at 9 8. m., and that they will not commence getfing resdy to leave until 3 p. m., and that six honrs of office Iabor will be put in every day. Unless much more labor can be accomplished in the gix hours the time must be extended to seveu hours. 3 - . . BOXDED STEAMERS.

NEW YORK. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Yorg, Oct. 26.—Thirty thousand horses are reported sick here to-day, but no deaths from _the horse plaguo are.authenticated... The pas- eenger lines continueto accommodate the public pretty well, but freight interests are at a partial dead-lock. Nearly all kinds of business are seri- ously blockaded, and the -aggregate loss from suspencion is estimated at several millions per day. Fifty per cent of the horses in the fire department are suffering from & mild form of the epidemic. The weather has elightly im- proved, and horses that have been carofully treated and rested are generally improving rap- idly. Mr. Henry Bergh publishes a card relating to the horse digease, in which he says: “ The ter- rible epidemio at this' time prevailing among horses here and elsewhere, and which threatens to paralyze trade and locomotion, if mot ar- rested, has caused the undersigned to institute inquiries as to tho most eflicacious means of treating afflicted animals, and the following ad- vice and suggestions are recommended, being the results of the nx&eflencq of eminent sur- geons attached to the Anti-Cruelty Society, along with others :fiunlly skillful. That the ~ disoase is influenza in aggrava ted form seoms to bo self-evident, and the remedies usually employed in the treatment of the human patient are found to be most ser- viceablo in cases of the horse. Complete rest, warm blankets, non-oxposure to draft of air, disinfectants, and total absenceof blceding and prostrating cathartic as a rule should be obaery- ed. Twenty or thirty drops of tincture of iron ins gill of Jameica rum, diluted with water and given every four hours in order to preserve the stren of the horse, or the tincture of arnica_will produce relief. A plaster bonnd around the throat composed of one portion of cayenne pepper and two of flax-seed, mixed with vinegar, is excellent. Frequently remove tho fotid dicharge from the nostrils, always using warm water. ¢ Another : Perfect rest, clean stable, tempting diet and stimulants, liniment applied to the throat. ¢ Another remedy is rest, cumfprlab.lobeddins, bandaging the extremitied, famigations of boil- ing water to assist the discharge at the nose, with a cough mixture of liguorice root and mo- lasses, Administer tonics and stimulants if the apPefite fails and weaknegs ensues. “The question again presents itself which has been so often urged before, May not dummy engines take the place or supploment, the ser- vice of horses ? w0 or three inventions, com- bining all the requirements of safety in speed and absence of noise, and make, have been gub- mitted to this society, and there exists little but prejudice to oppose their ndoption. The fear of alarming horses is aboat the only objec- tion, but with infinite more canse animals alon; Greenwich street have become familiar wit] even that crashing noise of railroad over their heads. By substituting these noiseless engines, which can be arrested in half the time of a horse car, ten-fold the number of passengers could be transported from one end of this island to the other in about one-third time.” » [To the Associated Press.) NEW YORE. New Yorg, Oct. 26.—The horse malady has now sprend to such an extent that almost alithe horses in the city are said to be suffering in one form or another from symptoms of the epidemic. There are thousands of horees whith have not yet been put upon the list, but observation _shows that many of these have the germs of the disorder in their system. The disease has thus far been rather glow in its development and it is not known yet whether all its stages bave been ecen. It is estimated that in the city and immediate vicinity there are from thirty to forty thomsand horses suffering from woll-doveloped symptoms, Thoe disease has bey to exhibit new and alarm- ing phases which are looked on as highly dan- gerous. Theinflammation of the throat extends to the lunge, and rapidly grows more alarming, snd the conghing is fearfally convulsive. The animal pants for breath and becomes quite cold at the extremitics, Thisecems to be the warn- ing of a fatal ending of the malady, and if it continues as widely prevalent as it is now for a few days longer thero can be little doubt that hundreds of horses affected will die. The street- car companies, some of the livery stable propri- etors, and many of tho down-town merchapts are still working their diseased horses, and in 21l these cases signs of fatality are becoming more alarming. In the stables whero all business is suspended until the disease is mastered, very favorable reports are made. In some insfances the convalescence of horses is very rapid. The trotters and racers stabled in the city geem to have nearly escaped the disease. Amers- can Girl is already almost recovered from ber elight attack, A&t Jeast 600 cars have been withdrawn from the city railroad lines. In this branch alone the disease throws thousands of men out of work. The - hackmen have almost tripled their faores for passengers, in utter vio- Iation of the law, and refuse to those who refuse to sy an illegal rate. The mansgers of the railrosd companies belieye thatat the present rate their stock can- not hold out longer than Sunday night. No stable reports, as_yet, that any horses have been perfectly cured. Apprehensions exist that several ocean steam- ahips will have to postpono sailing, owing to the im’FgEsibimy of getting freight on board. ¢ ravages of the horse disease continue un- abated, but up to this afternoon, no fatal cases are reported. New Yorg, Oct. 26—Evening—The horse dis- ease to-night is reported to be unabated. In fact, tho distemper is said to be spreading. The feolings of alarm are increasing, and owners of animals not seriously affected are Lkeeping their horses in the stables, giving them every cara. The number of cars running decreased very con- siderably to-dey, slthough it is not quiteso much o‘rin% to the diseaso as to the great in- clemency of the weather caused by the heavy rain. The Ninth Avenue Railroad stopped its cars, a8 did also the Fifth Avenue Stage Company. In some of tho stables the distemper mado no mppar- ent increase; in others, notably that of the Third avenue, it became severer. The ex- freus companies report & severity in some ceses. t is stated that the United States Exprcss Company has forty car-loads of freight in Jer- sey City in consequence of the acarcity of tcams. The European steamers were not delayed to-day; although they have been inconvenienced some- what by the stoppage of the cart-drivers. Some of the lines receive cargo on barges. Along the docks and piers it looks like Sunday. The same ‘may be said of some of the railroad freight de- ots. Anovel sight was furnished this afternoon 80me men drygsmqrdcuded ‘wagons, while others pushed behind. e losses to the busi- ness_community already are said to bo_very heavy, reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars, _The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher is frequently visiting his sick horse “Billy” at Brooklyn. That city is suffering similarly to New York. At the principal piers freight is piled up for_want of menns to remove it. The steamer Indis, which arrived on Friday, hus not yet commenced discharging cargo. If the present state coritin- nes a week the steamers cannot be unloaded, and & general cossation of business must ensue, 88 regards the carrying of freight. One of the great inconveniences 1t a luck of horses for fu- nerals. In Brooklyn the railroad lines will probably _withdraw “all tho cars to-morrow, to give the diseased horses o chance for rest. A few fatal cages are reported, but it is not dofinitely ottled whether it was caused by the epidemic. Medical anthority states that under the most fayorable circumstances tho disease runs from 7 to 10 days, and with the present un- favorable weather it may linger longer. At all events, it it considered that the present incon- venience to the public is liable to continue until thelnttsrgart of the coming week, by which time the horses first attacked should “be con- valescent. 5 TOSTON. . Bosrox, Oct. 26.—Vory few horses are in the streets, All the various departments of busi- ness requiring horses sreat & standstill, and suffering much in consequence. Hand carts are in demand, and numerous wagons drawn by men. The only encouraging feature is that 1Tew cases prove fatal. Bostox, Oct. 26.—Russell White, the driver of engine *Four,” while attending his horses to-day, was suddenly taken with the horao dis- cage. He was conveyod to his home. He had all the symptoms of the disease, coughing, run- ning at the nose and eyes, and general feverish debility. MALONE, X. Y. Ocpexssuren, N. Y., Oct. 26.—A despatch from Malone eays that Rtteen cases of the new horse disease have been discovered there. ‘ROCHESTER. RocmESTER, N. Y., Oct. 26.—More fatal cases- of horse disease are reported this morning than during the whole time since the diceage first ap- peared. The streets are deserted by horees, but Wagons and certs drawn by men are plenty. 'The ;xl_fireas companies announce thatno more goods 1be received. The railroad companies cannot deliver freight. Reports from the Eria Canal particnlarly be- ‘Compeny wers filed this morning, tween_this city and Buffalo, are very discourag- ing, Many boats have tied up, 34 Searly ove -craft has sick horses, Many have arrived with dead horses on board. The towing companies advertise that they will furnish horses as far a8 possible, but will not be responsible for any lack ©of service from them.

New cases are occurring not only in this city, but’ throughout the neighboring. country. ~The stages going in out find great difficnlty in mak- mit.heu- trips.

Bruziswick, Me., Oct. 26.—The horse disease has appeared here in a mild form, WALL STREET. Review of the Moncy, Bond, Stock, Gold, and Produce Narkets. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yo, Oct. 26.—The money market-dar- | ing the past week opened very essy,” but after- wards there was o temporary stringency pro- duced by the shifting of stocks from strong to weal hands, and the locking-up of gold. Late in the week there was a reaction in rates on call, and the market once more became easy. During the prevalence of the stringency, money was sharp at 7, currency to 7, gold, with ex- ceptions on one day, at1-32 per diem. Onthe closing_dnys of the week money ranged from 7 to 4 per cent, and the supply was liberal on_call.

The prico of gold has fuctuated lxegnoqtl Detween 1123 and 113%, being influenced chief- Iy by the many reports in regard to the finencial situntion abroad. A feature of the gold specu- Iation was the export to-dsy_of $1,200,000 gold coin, chiefly by the Bank of Montreal. . STOCES. Bpeculation on the Stock Exchange has been characterized by sudden and frequent chtmslga, from buoyancy to depression, and viceversa. The fluctuations have not only been wide, but ex- tremely violent, while the operations in some shares have been on & scalo of magnitude al- most without precedent. The events of the week show a great growth of speculation, snd also demonstrate the fact that the present lead- ors in Wall street deal in figures and nmounts that would startle men of the past. The week opened wiih a_buoyant feeling in the leading specialties, and a further advance waa made, ranging from 1 to 4} per cent. Present indications point to & ¥ sctive speculstion on tho _ Stocl Exchange during the winter months, With wide and frequent fluctuations.

Running the Line—The Indian Trous bles—Particulars of the Murders of Lieutenants Crosby and Adair-—Serie ous Interference with the Locating Parties—General Bosser’s Xdea of In- dian Fighting—The Dakota Line Not Fully Located. From the St. Paul Press, Oct. 24. General F. L. Rosger, of the Engineer's De- partment of the Northern Pacific Railroad, ar- Tived in this city, yesterdsy morning, from sn extended expedition into Dakota and Idaho, taken for the p\u’flna of locating the line of the Northern Pacific Railroad through that country. General R. had charge of the engineering g_lu— ty, and General Stanley of tho escort, which consisted entiraly of infantry and artillory from the regular army. The programme was to have General Rosser locate the line and make the sur- veys and profiles 8o closely that contracts could belet by them. Meanwhile Colonel Hayden was coming East with an engineering party and an escort under General Baker, and was to come down the Yellowstone and the Muscle Shel north of it, and the result of these surveys'an examinations would determine the location of thetrack. But General Baker, it will beremem- bered, had a “serious dificulty ” or & fight with the Indians, who proved so troublesome that Colonel Hoyden had been unablo, thus far, to complete his lines. Colonel Rosser has located three lines, one. viz Cabin's Creek, one via O’Fallen's Creek, and one zia Glendive's Creek, ‘but without the kmowledge of thef and and en~ gineering dificylties to be overcome beyon which was to have been made known by Colone! Hayden, it would be unsafe to determine which of those three routes to take; all of them, how- ever, are good, practicable ways. . At Fallen’s Creek the working partyof engin- eers ander General Rossor was driven in by an attack from sbout a hundred Indians, under Sit- hniBn.ll They made a bold and determined dash, and the lines were only regained after a strong display of force. These Indians hun around the p: until it reached open gronn when they withdrew. : On Powder River, & branch of the Yellow= stone, joining it at a ' point forty or fifty miles- west of the line between Dakota and Idaho, an- other Indian attack was made, the red-skins be- ing at this point under *Du; " & chief who ‘has made his boasts that he will fight the North- ern Pacific Railroad out of the country. The TIndians also demand that parties of white miners be withdrawn. i 2 This Dugall is a shrewd fellow, with an. to the main chance, if all reports are 'true. He is reported to have left his band since his fightin this country, joined & peece party, gone to Wash- ington to receive presents and annuities, and’ to armed with Winchester rifles, and posseszed & plenty of ammunition, - x 1t seems that Lieutenant Crosby was killed several days before the murders of Lieutenant Adair and General Stanley’s servant. Crosby was an excellent shot, and left the camp one morning mmukinEm he would go out and kill an antelope. He Was neyer seen again alive by any of the party. Some time afterward his ‘body was found with.three arrows in it, horribly mutilated. From the fact that the arrows were of different colors, indieating them to be the rc]igty of different Indisns, and further, from Ehe owledge that his gun with a plenty of smmunition was in the hands of the Indians, . it was concluded that he was killed without firing a shot, probably by a secreted foe. Meanwhile before this was known, the work- ing party under General Rosser, with an_escert under Lieutenant Adair, went out one day on the line. Aboutnoon, the camp with the main gocort and baggage, passed them with the un- derstanding ~ that it would halt at the next water, about six miles distant, Rosser and Adair lunched together, and the former said that he believed he would ride out toward the main y and see about their crossing of some broken lands ahead. Adair concluded to go outalso, and post pickets on the ridges in sdvance, Finding the conntry worse than he expected, Rosser became interested in finding a ronte for the road, and was soparated from Adair. While Rosser was Enix;ui.ug down = sort of ravine, he ssw befors a fow men, on & bluff some distance ahead. The wind was blowing and the dust flying, and he en&puead them to be some of Adair's pickets. In a ghort time_he heard some yelling behind him, and looking around saw four persons e prosching on horseback. One was in citizen's clothes and the others in Indisn costume. Sup- posing them to be sconts sent out, from camp to o loud call, but received no answer. This he re- peated, with tho same result. He didn't like the appearance of this, and; half ashamed to be running from his own men, he turned his horse and went off. The four still followed, when General Rosser brought his gun down'to nearl; & level, and fired at random. At the -flash eac] of the ‘four dropped bebind their ponies. Ros- ser was now assured that the * pesky red skins" ‘were after him in earnest, and the sitnation was, to sey the least; critical. “He kopt up his retreat, however, watching the fellows as‘closely a8 pos- sible, and occasionally bringing his gun to bear, ich would make them dodge "and spread. ‘They now adopted the Indian style of warfare, end began to attempt a surround, evidentl thinking that he was safe in their hands, ani that the risk of anattack, even though i waa on more open ground Rosser eaw a soldier, he supposed about & mile away, and beckoned to him to go back toward the camp, which he was niming for, and which he soon saw although it was not in sight of the Indians. There were TIndizns almoat between Rosser and the soldier, preventing them from joining, and R.’s pur- suers began to direct their attention to the sol- dier, evidently ~ thinking that, being on 'foot, he ~would be the easiest prey. Thus liberated, Rosser made for the camp, going within a short distance of the sol- dier, who was himself retreating backward, -gun in hand, while the Indians_were pursuing tho same safe tactics with him they began with TRosser. Not far away Rosser met Eccleston, whom he describes as a brave, dashing officer, and they quickly resolved on o rescme. Spur- Ting their horses to a- gallop,* they approached the beleaguered man, " an: their surprise, found it was Lieutenzut A When his res- cuers were within o _few rods of him, Adair turned to run towards them.. This waa perhaps they had not fired at him, but a8 soon 28 he turned, a shot was fired by one of the two fore- most Indians, and poor Adair fell, mortally ‘wounded, almost into tho arms of his friends. As quick as thought, Eccleston snd Rosser fired, and the redskins turned to leave, but the mur- derer reeled and fell from his saddle mortally woundod. Adair was revenged, but by s life, dozens of hundreds of which would weigh but lightly in the scale beside his. % “And now. the guard came up on adouble-guick, and as soon as they appeared, the Indiaps, rein-- forced, dashed down in & determined attack, en- deavoring to take the body of the dead Indian. They were rcpulsed, and sullenly retired. At n safe distance-they Balted, and, in dogged defi~ ance, shook at the end of a.polg & scalp, whose, Rosser nor his party did not dream. Hxasper- 4ted at this, a man went out and scalped Adair's murderer, and shook back the bloody trophy in definnce. A yell was the answer, followed' by another swoop upon the and another re- pulse, when the red devils withdrew, and the and the engineers went to the camp. Here theroll was called, to find out who was the miss- ingman. None were found except Lieutenant Crosby, and & few days after the discovery of his body proved that it was his scalp that was shaken at the men here. * Heart Butte” will ba remembered for a long time as the &cene of Adair’s murder. - Btanley’s servant was found killed and fmuti- lnted the same day,the murder having been com- mitted probably by the same band atfacking the other party. General Rosser's own escape wasa DArrow one, and probably conld not have been made good if the Indians had risked an attack upon him. “Bull Eagle,” a daring young war- rior, was in command of the Indians here. = In the vicinity of the-mouth -of the Powder River, to which Foint surveys are made, the party found a eplendid country, partly wooded ‘with Norway pine, oak,and cottonwood. It is a8 fine grass country es can be found anywhere, The forage ran short here and the horses were for twelve days grazed in the afternoons, after & forenoon’s hard work, and fed cut grass ab night, and instead of dying, as mearly evory one ex- ected, not one was lost, and they scarcely s;mim'shsd & pound in weight. Eccleston is left in'the field to complete a few surveys, having an ample escort.
