On yesterdsy the sturdy farmers began to assomblo in Dellefon- taive, s0d at 6 o'clock p. m. the town was full of peoplo in a state of excite- ment, and evideotly with ome idea a3 to 'what ought to ba dore. During iko cvening groups of men stood aronnd the streets con- Yersivg auictly and in firm tones of the itna- tion. There was no brag, no bluster, and no ‘whisky. The 10 o'clock train from the rcuth brooght about a hundred men from along the road, snd about 11 o'clock THE MOST ACTIVE PATTICIPANTS went to & brick-kiin in the outetirts of the town, w0d organized in four companiesof about twenty- firemen each. The companies and the men were all numbered. For mzeks they had hand- kerchiefs tied across the lower half of the fice, and some had their coats tnrned inside ont, end their hats sloached over their eres. Company 1 carrisd an iron rail tsken from some switch, and the prcceesion marched sternly and quietly throngh the principsl strect of the town to the Couri-Housze, t.roed down the street immediately south of i, and g romd m front of the jsil. which §sin the rear of the Court-House. Here tbey ame {0 & halt, and a man who acted as leader stepped up to the jail door, knocked onit, and aalled “Mr. Sheriff,” in a loud voice threo times. Ko answer being elicited. he turned round to the quietly-watching crowd and eaid : COMPANY ONE. DO YOUE DCTY! Company Ope advanced, carrsing the rail ; in quick saceession they delivered a series of batterinz-ram blows, which no door conld long withstard, and soon forced it from its hinges. With cold<chisels and eledge-hammers they hewed a path to the cell whcre the doomed man lay. In abont twenty-fivo minutes from the time when they bad burst in the outer door, the loader appeared at the entrance, and announced to the expectant crowd * WE'VE GOT T and will bring him out and make him confess thisand other crimes.” The announcement was re- ccived by the populace with etern demonstrations of approval, and after a moment’s delay, the Committes sppesred with their prisoner. Emergiog from the jail, thev took up their line of march backround the Court House. Pro- ceeding to the eouth corer of the fence, they resched & lerge ires whose boughs stretched | oy over the aireet, wero destined to bear each ‘uopatural frait. In the twinkling of an eye, a long rope, with Doose attached, was produced from some luding- pizce, and the poose put round Shell's neck.

Frank Lowe; of Marion, who has aided in 80 successfully un- earthing the well-koown vendetts which has oz~ isted for eome time in Willismson County, ar- rived here this morning, having in custody Mar- shall Crain, the undoubted hired assassin of Capt. George W. Sisney and William Spenco. Mr, Lowe, after haviog made various arrosts of parties in this vicinity, started in pursuit of Crain, sud,afier a chose of over a week, arrested him nesr Pocahontas, Ark., he being in bed at the time of arrest, with two shot guns, s rifle apd a revolver at the head of his bed. Lowe was too quick for Crain, aa be bad hardly time to open his eves before ho found the handenfls securely clasping his wrists, He admits beiog on goard when Gpence was shot, but demies that he did the shoot- iog, ood says Sam Music, who it is known was the first to ‘“‘sguenl,” did the sbootiuz. The prisoner looks the villain he is, He is not over 20 years of age, and has a deject- ed and worp-out look. He had revealed to Mr. Lowe the nsmes of parties directly implicated in the killing of James Hendereon, tho price they received, and by whom paid. Lowe hauded Crain over to Alarshal Brush, of this city, on his arrival. Crain will be taken 1o Marion on Mendsay, and placed in_the County Jail there, it being thought safer than rislupg Crain's neck at the hands of a mob if laced in the Jackeon Connty Jail, at Murphreys- oro, where tlireo of his accomplices are lodged. Thus elowly, but surely, the Bulliuer-Hender- son-Ruseell-Crain feud is being noraveled, and iti3 to be hoped that all the guilty parties will meet with merited ponishment. John Bulliner, Allen Baker, and Sam Crain, will receive their trial at Murphreysboro this weak. An excitiog time mey be expected, a8 the pablic are universalin wanting justice meied out to them, and will fill the court-room every day to hear the trial. MURDER AND SUICIDE.

C., Bept. 25.—The natnre of the report of the second Commission to investi- gate the condition of the Chicago Custom- Houso has been 8o far anticipated that its pub- lication to-day croated but httle sarprise. With- out reflecting in any way upon the first Commis. siop, it is generally conceeded here that the re- port of the last Commission ia an exceedmng fair one in all respects. BSecretary Bristow gives it Iis cordial and hearty sup- port, as was fo be expected. Inasmuch 25 he has not bad sny personal feeling to bias him in the matter, it was perfectly easy and consistent for him to inderse the last as sincerely as he did the first report. In this asin all other matters the Becretary has allowed no sentimental congid- erations to influence his course as an officisl. The nature of the instructions given to the BSuopervising Architect are such that a compliance with them will necesstate B resumption of work upon the edifice, €0 far as the foundations are concerned, at once, and will postpone work looking to final completion till spring. The Secretary left for New York at noon to- day. (7o the Agsociated Perss.) THE EEPOBT. ‘WasmmvgToN, D. C., Sept. 25.—The report of the Board appointed to 1ovestigate the Chicago Custom-House, after reciting the circumstances of their sppointment and acknowledging the good offices and courtesy of all with whom their duties brought them in contact, arrivesat the following conclusions: The ground upon which the foumdstion of the building rests was, by our direction, thoroughly test- ed by digging, boring, and lpplyln‘imown ‘weighta upon known areas, thus giving us a thorough knowl- edgo of its pature, efc. Your Commisaion finds that the building is underlnid throughout its whole cxtent™ with & compressibla stratum,composed of a mizture of gloy, eand) and wter, varring fn thickness {rom 20 to 25 féot, below which 'is hard blae clay. Thoy are of opinion, after much carefnl deliberation, that the foundstion of the buitding should in the frst mstance Dave been carried to this blue clay either by piling or by masonry, and thet, had _this cours been adopted, thiere would mever havo een any question concerniag the safety of the builling, As it i, the Luilding resta on & continuous mass of concrete,varying in thicknesa from 93 to 4 fect, covering the whole ares of the building, except tho centrsl and corner spaccs. The concrete is excellent, and distributes the pressure over an srea materially greater than that of the footing stoncs of tho plers, 5o that the pressure per square foot on the ground below will probably not be greater than 2,000 pounds, 0 The result of the testsspplicd by the Board shows that this ground will bear s pressure of 4,00 ponnds square foot without material disturbance, Your 'ommissfon i8 of opiufon that tho weighg of the Dullding can be much reduced, and recommind _ that such reduction be insisted upon most strenuously. ‘The Commiasioners therefore report that, in their opinion, the foundation of the building is Dot on firm ground, obut that, with the modifcations already Froposed, snd alterations of tho foundation hers- inafter mentioned, the defects in the foundation may bo remedied, The absence of reliable bench- marks, and consequent confuslon in levols, prevented the Board from determining whether the foundations vary from the original level , but o comparisons of all the levels taken by the three Boards convinced thom ¢hat tho building may be said to be really leval in itaelt, tho extreme difference of level in the four cor- Ders being less than one-half an inch, while at thres corners the levels only differ by five-hundredths of aninch. The greater height of the west side as com; with that of tho other threo sides is due toan upbeaval by frost, but ou account of the ab- sence of benchmarks, alrcady mentioued, the Board is unableto state posiiively whether thershrs been s scttlement or mot. They ure, however, of opinion, from the general appearance of tho buflding, ns well aa from the general uniformity of the level, that there han been £0 far 1o material settlement, although some sottlement may be apprehended in the future pi of the building. If, howerer, the precautions eng- gested by the Board be adopted, they sre of opimion that such settlement will be nearly uniform, snd will :mwnxuy interfere with the stability of the RECOMMENDATIONS. Wo therefore recommend that wherever there sre voids in the concrete fonndations iede the area walls, thiey be flled in with & uniform depth of four feet of concreta; that the concrete under the building be left undisturbed, and that the entire surface be covered ‘with sufiicieat .concrete to bring it {0 level nacessary 1o Tocelve the flooring, and that all necessary drain- 3guad seworsgo of tho bulling be completed ss tho ditional concreto 1s laid. Second—The nature and quslities of the stons of which the edifico ia constructed, whether it has the durability, strength, and other qualities de- sirablo, The Hoard arv of opinton, after careful ex- amination, that the stone is not that which they would havo selocled for such bailding had they desiy to make a seloction, for a cheaper and better stono could have boen obtained. But on_sccount of tho fact that u large amont f money has slready boen expended in the purchase, cutting, and setting of ving been delivered and wronght ; that it has in this building and in such structures &5 the Board have seen the apparent durability of ordinary sandstone, and that 118 strength is sufcient for the purposes of tho bullding, thoy do not think that uny changs shoald now be made in the stone. Thitrd—As to the other materials, The brick is good and well laid ; the concrete is well made and faithfally placed, ond the iron workis gocd and well fitted, though excessive in quantity. Fourth—Whether any changes in the plans or ma- terial to be used shonld be made, and if so what, and. an estimate of fhe probable cost of ’such’ cLango? The Board aroof opinion_that the pier on tlio corner of Olark and Adams strocts, and_the two adoining plers on Clark street, should be taken down to the sill-course of the first story, their sides Lelng outof plumb; that the stons coverings or the roof of the should be removed, and iron beams ond brick arches substituted, and tho cellings finished cn the under side with iron.’ That the stono work on Olark street ahould be carried up fo the level of the ofher work ss soon =ss possible, and im further progress of the work the wall should bo kept as pearly level aa practical. That the Supervising teck of ~the ‘Cressury e requested to Teduco the weight of the bulldin above the sccond story, and to omit all stone-worl above the line of horizontal cornices, which they be- Tieve can be made without injury {o the architectural appearances of the building or its mscfulness for tho purposes of its erootion. In reduciug weights, the principlo of equalizing the pressure per square foot on the footing stones should b adopted. The Board Iay great stress mpon this recommendation, and be- Hevs that thie money eaved by the proposed reduction of weight and cost of finiah will much more than com- ‘Ppensata for the expenso which would be incurred by e saaitions rocommended to be made to the founds- na. In anawer to the direction to make such suggestions a8 will give practical effoct o the conclusions at which theymay_arrive, thoy add to the recommendations made under the’ first hesd as follows: Thatall the stone now upon the 4, or yet to bo delivered by the contractors, shall be rigidly inspected, and_none placed in the building which do Dot come up to tho e- quirements of the contract, and such stone now in place s have been patched in an unsightly or insecure ‘manner, or which may bave seriously disinf or broken, shall be repl by stone which conform to the requirements of tho contract, and the discolored etone now in the walls shall remain in the building until it completion, when such as havo not bleached suciently shall bo replaced ot refaced rocutting or substitution; that the concrete founds- shall be thoron tion 5 pocurea frost, end that Do _masonry-work be done after the frost sets in or whilo ft remains inthe eoil; that permanent bench- marks be immedistely mado by driving one or moro piles firmly into the blue clay in the proper riaces, and That the Superfutendent be requirad to refer the levels of building to these bench-marks at regular intervala of timo, aud keep & record of tho resulis; that the the main of the first siory be protected by covering _with shetcopper o eome otber sppllance. The Board aroalso of the opinion that ihe enornious cost of stone-cuiting 1is duo in 3 great degreo to tho mistaken principle op which this contract was made, that ir, the larger the outlsy for labor the greater to profit to the contract, ‘Finally, our Board are of the cpinion that the sus- pension of work on account of apparently dang:rous ‘cracks in the wall and the general sppearance of the bunmimmm winter arpoimflth:;lltdw‘l D{:; toction aud care, Wes & necesssry precaution far protectipn of tho imterest of the Govsrnmsnt, but we 8eono raason_sgainst the immediate resumption of work in accordance with the suggestions herein made.

An assessment of 20 per cent was levied on subseription to the guarantes fund, amounsting in round numbers to $15,000,000. This, with the coin on hand, will give between two and three millions to open with. The Bank will reopen either Saturday, Oct. 2, or early the following week. A meeting of the Board of Di- rectors will be held next Monday or Tussday, whep the date of resnmption will probably be fixed. Entire harmony prevailed at the meeting, and a determination wus evioced to push mat- ters to a successful termination. The action of the bank syndicate has caused tho utmost good feeling in the city. This after- noon, among brokers, it was the prevailiog topic of conversation. It is probable that a meeting of the San Frao- cisco Stock Exchaoge will be called early next weel, and a resolution adopted to resume ita seesions on the firat Monday following the open- ing of the bank. . PITTSBURG, PITTSBURG, Pa., Sept. 25.—Glass, Neely & Co., of this city, suspended payment to-dsy and cloged their works. Liabilities stated at about 810,000, with assots amounting to $350,000, bus the principal portion of the ascats, consisting of miil property and resl estate, is not available at present. The cause of the failure is the goneral stagnation of the iron trade and difi- culty in reslizing on outstanding indebtedness. The fim bas alwavs bornes good reputation for fair dealing, and say they wil pay off all claims as rapidly 08 they can realize on the as- sets. This suspension will throw abont 300 hands out of employment. —_—— MISSISSIPPL The Democratic State Committee to Alty.Gene Picrrepont. Jacrsoy, Miss., Sept. 25.—The following was sent to Att7.-Gen.

Full Particulars of the Frightfal Disaster.- Narrative of an Eye-Witnes to the Harrowing Scenes. The Falling Houses, Roaring Waters, and Drowning People, INDIANOLA. New Orleana Bulietin, Sent. 23, Woe are indebted to Mr. W. D. Kelly, who was in Indianola during the late storm, for the fol- lowing particulars concerning the disaster : Ileft Indianola Mondsy last, 2t 2 p. m., where 1 had been during the gale. From my point of view, the following was what I eaw: ‘Wednesday afternoon, tho 15th, was & cloudy day with a pleazant breezo blowing and the sky gave no token of the approach of high wind. The citizens pursued their avocations, little heeding the dire dieaster awaiting them. The sun set in a leaden-colored clond and darkness of the most intouso kind followed. After nightfall, the wind increased from the northeast and the swell in the bay became higher, and by daylight Thursday it was blowing about 25 miles an hour. This, however, occasioned no alarm in the town until the news was generally, circulated that the water had encroached on the front and was 1 foot doep in the streets nearest the bry. As the news spread the citizens seemed to ap- preciste s further rise, for many of the mer- chants commenced to carry their goods up to the second floor, and to take other precaution- ary steps. Thursday at 10 a. m. it was blowing fearfaily, the wator still coming in higber, and in two hours rose 6 feet, submerging mosk of the town. The alarm spread like wildire, Those who had boats were ply- ing about in the waves taking women and children to places of fancied security. Families were sent up to the highest portions of the dwellings, houschold goods were confusedly hurried into garrets, snd the whole {own was one scene of terror. There wero no means of leaving the town, snd so all Dbud to secure themselves as best they could, Mid- night Thursday s heavy current set in, running throngh tne town,and then commenced the dull crash on all sides of falling houses, The water by this time had resched a point covering the whols place fally 6 foet. Looking out, nothing could be seen except house- tops and tho white fosm on the heavy rollers. With overy crash, abovo the screaming of the wind and the roar of the Waters, could bo heard the wadl of despalr from drowning women and children. Ersntieally clinging to the remnants of the wrecks mothers with children in their arms vainly implored for help when all around were upable to render any. The scene begmared description, Strong men, over- come with emotion, wept like chilaren, and’ some wented to rush forth to certain death rather than suf- ferta seo the victims perishing before their eyes whilat they were powerlea to render asaistance. Not 0 eye was closed that in Indisnol. The lond 02 splash and cracking of tmberef proclaimed another” honso gone, and the sound was' echoed by plercing screams, About daylight Friday morning the wind Iulled and the water fell us rapidly as it had risen, snd by noon it was poastble for peopla o get About 'In the higher rortions of the town. The severity of the damage dons was then fully ap- procisted. Not s house in tho place but what showed cvidence of {he gale. Squares completely vacant, storss and houses having been carried off by the current, Ieaving onty the fonndation to mark tho spot whers onee they stood. AFTER THE STORM. As soon 28 the citizens were abls to get out they sot to work Telieving those in peril, Thoso confined in the upper stories of daogorous boildings were faken out, and the corpses caught by falling timbers removod. 1t was » 82d work, and nobiy did the people respond to the call for duty. It was then that the most heart-rend- ing cenes were met. Herea little girl, almost nude, Wading in the water in search of father, mother, and sisters, whose bodics lay bleaching on thie ssnds miles distant; there, old men, pale with emotion. looked for their grandchildren, whose prattling voices wero ed by the treacherous waters, No pen could portray tho sad picture of Friday at Indianoila. A town of 3,000 inhabitants under water for twelve hours, with 330 of their number suddenly sericken down, conld not but tear-stain the paper and ‘make the hand of the chronicler tremble, SATURDAY MOBNING. The work of gathering 3p whst was left wrock ocoupied sl Fires ware it n the strests, built ‘with tho debris of tho buildings, and et indiridul was perforce his own cook, Liftle knots stood around the"fires_discusaing the disaster, and there was on all sides viible s sadness and grief beyond the power of tears to allaviate. A rurzor spread through the town that some 2 miles back, where most of the bodies hod been washed, there wers some iz Mexicana despoiling the dead. ‘Those who saw them reported that, in their greed for jowelry, they had cut off fingers from corpses and alit The ears o secure rings, It was buta enort time bo- fora o gmall company of voluntears was formed, and in o few hours they returned, Raving killed seven of the brutes whilat st their hellish work. The stench from the dead by this time has become almost untear- able. Those who had been eaught bencath falling buildings had commenced {o_patrefy, and the wholo air had the smell of & charnal house. ‘As the flood had extended eome 10 miles in_shore, where there were omo 3,000 head of csttle awalting transporiation, numbers of the herds wers drowned, ond thelr carcasses added to the nauseating stench., of the THE WIND. According to the last rogister muds by the anemom- oter in_the Signal Observatory before it fell, Thurs- day night, tho rate of the wind w2s 8 miles per hour, and the citizens say it increased to fully 100 during the night. The barometer fell as low 28 28,95 inches, the lowest known at Indianola. 1 do not think, sys Mr. Kelley, that thersis a por- eom in Indiazola Who thinks the town will be rebuilt.

It is impossible for me 1o tell you, ir, what the damageis. Nobody can a8 yet, but it is enough to 83y & town was, 80 to swopt away. To find the igk=bitants of Indianola, one has to walk away back to the lake in the rear of the town, and here 2nd thera unearth from the sands the bodies, half cov- ered, with sometimes an arm exposed, somotimes & foot. oot To show you how rapidly the water rosc, I need only cife the expericnce of some of the herders tending the cattle on the prairies back of tho town.

To save themselves they left the cattle and made for the highlanda, hardly sble to_ keep their sests on ac- cotnt of the forcoof the wind. The rain came down in torrents, and it was with the utmost difficulty that they could find their way across the g:mu. Iesti- mats the loss of stock at fally 2,500 beoves and 3,000 sheep. BALURIA.

THE BURNING OF THE HERNDON HOTEL AT MARSHALL, MICH. Datroit Free Press, Sept, 25, The most terrible fire in its effects and con- sequences which ever vieited Marsball occurred Friday morning at 2 o'clock, the Herndon Hotel .| being discovered to be on fire, it having its origin in the office. The lower portion of the building was first filled with flame and smoke, cuiting off all means of escape to tbe occupanta in the upper stories, except by jumping from windows or by descending on ladders. 1n a briof time after the discovery of the fira the entire building was enveloped in a sheet of flame, which stretched its fiery tongue high in the air and over adjoining buildings, while the wild shrieks of human beings wero heard above 1t8 roar in the fourth story of the burning build- ing, presented a scene to the excited multitude below which beggars description. One young lady, wild with despair, jumped from » fourth-story. window in tho rear’dnd was instantly kilied. _At this juncturo every possible exertion was made to rescue the inmates from the second and third stories by ladders, in which tho Rescue Hook-and-Ladder Company covered themselves with glory, imperiling thoir own lives in their efforts to save that of others. Some ten or fifteen were rescued in this manoer. The hotel register is burned, so that st present it is impoasible to positively ascertain the num- ber of victims sacrificed to the fiery element. It i8 rumored that eeven periehed in the flames. though it is believad the following is a correct list of the fatalitios: Elza King, ing-room girl, instantly killed by jumping from the fourth- story window ; the hotel cook, Nicholas Rigkes, recently from Battle Creek, fatally hurt by Jjumping from the foarth-story window; Claude G. Avery, a boarder at the hotel, bared to & crisp; Anton Greuber, &_cigar-maker, from Sprinpfield, Mass., bumed to a crisp. The romsins of these two were recovered Friday morning at 11 o'clock. The following are thein- bl 3 . Clande G. Avery, sappoeed fatally, caused by a fall while being removed from the building on s ladder; Prof. Colwell, wife, and child, considerably scorched, butitis thought not fatally ; William H. Brown, proprietor of the hotel building, and Dr. Woodras, & boarder, are considerably hurt. The totalcasuaities at present certainly known foots up as follows : Two barned to a crisp ; one killed by juiap- ing from the fourth-story window; eight others iojured. three of whom cannot survive. Several others had narrow escapes, among whom wWere Ur. Loomis, a traveling agent, who lost all his samples and other valuables, barely saving bim- self, wife, and child. Mr. Chsndler, of Cold~ water, lost everything; also T. Daudy, a com- wercial traveler, lost his all. These were res- cued by membors of Rescue hook and ladder comoany, who safely conveyed them from the third story to the ground on ladders. - The building aad farniture is nearly s total loss, amounting to nearly 240,000.
