I am also not Gispleased that its mantle of happiness has descended upon the Tirnovans, for one likes a glimpse of sunshine now and then even amid « the clouds of war, and I fear the san will not often shine. I am writing this letter in the Hosk. of a Turkish . mansion, whose owners are wandering, God knows where, among the mountains. Together with the rest of the Mussulman population of Tirno- ‘Va, they fled at the approach of the Russians, taking with them only such articles of furniture and clothing as were. necessary. The deserved houses have been more or less damaged by the © Bulgarians, but this one has been sofurtunate as ‘to escape such utter ruin as befell the one that Toceapied in Sistova. Ouly a few windows have been broken, and the furniture bas gen- erally escaped depredation. AH the Turkish houses, wherever I have Leca, are noticeable for the great number of windowsthat they contain, —the Turks certainly not being of that class who LOVE DARENESS RATHER THAN LIGHT. ‘This room, where I am now, has windows run- ning continuously sround three sides, giying it “the appearance of a glass house or conseryato- . Broad cushions run around the room, Jean- ing against the wall and rising to the sill of the windows, so that by restiug upon them one cau alwayscommand a view outside. Above the wiu- dows from a cornice evidently nad hung tapestry, and shreds are still remaining, as if the cloth . had been violently torn down in the hurry of departure. There are¢wo doors, or entrances, over which curtains are still hanging. The walls are painted with lanscapes and imitations of fruits and flowers. A very comfortable place, it will be admitted, even for a gisour go has not acquired the art of sitting cross- legged. This kiosk is at the side of the house ‘ and commands a view both of the garden, where the .inevitable fountain is playing, and the narrow street where little Bulgarian chil- dren are rolling in the sand. If I choose to go out. walking, I find one of the prettiest of promenades slong the edge of the sharp bill skirting the river. There the street is broad and shaded with old trees, while only one side is devoted to shops and cafes, the other leok- ‘ing off over the plain to the spires of Zavada placidly © NESTLING AMQNG THE DILL. r On the promenade the blue and scarlet of the Bussian now mingles amicably with the quieter colors of the Bulgar civilian. é The Grand Duke's headquarters have been established here “ permanently,” as far as that word applies ina military sense, meaning, of course, that be will stay here until a secure foot- 3 pg has been obtaincd further on. Gon. y Rodetsky, with the Ninth Division of the Eighth * Curps, is herc, as wel! as Gen. Dracowirvil's brigade. The Eleventh Corps entire is ex- pected to arrive immediately. 1 understand ‘ chat the intention is to push forward rapidly . ss the mountains cither by the Schipka Pass -| or the Slivno Pass. Battalions of Cussacks have been sent forward aircady to scour the country, and beat back auy detached bands of | Bashi-Bazouks that may be hovering in ‘the | neighborhood, The erand advance will be made by an army of not less than 50,000 men, includ- ~.- ing the Eighth, Ninth, aud Eleventh Corps. So , far a8 1 have seen, . THE TROOFS ARE WELL CLAD AND DEALTRY, and, more than that, they are allivspired with a wonderful enthusiasm. They still march alung tue dusty roads, singing with as much gayety.a8 when they wok up their line of march from : Kischeneif. Few cases of sickness from expos- + ure or overexertion have occurred—I should seems to exist a disposition to greater confi- dence. Reports about Austria raising money anil mobilizing troops caused a ‘general decline early in the week. Then followed a general rise on the statement in the House of Commons. on Tucsday last. .by.. Sir Stafford Northcote, Chaucellor of the Exchequer, that it would not be- necessary to submit-any special vote on accourt of: the re- cont dispatch of trogps and the fleet to the East, and it wag very doubtful whether it would be necessary to ask for any further sum in the course of the year, which seemed to be EXCEEDINGLY WELL RECEIVED. onthe Continent. Oa Thursday, while foreign stocks declined, there was a considerable rise in home sectirities, the ability of the Tarks to de- fend the road to Constantinople being taken to indicate less necessity for English interference. On Friday prices were well maintained, the re- sult being a general rise in hgme. securities as opposed toa slight decline in the foreign mar-~ ket. AMERICAN SECURITIES continued to recover.on telegrams reporting the repression of the riots. For mapy weeks past we have ventured to remind ‘our readers that speculative markets, are artificially supported. We have pointed to the low value of moncy, which enables operators’ to easily hold large amounts’of stocks off the market, to the scarc- ity of the stock and the consequent fines for non-delivery at successive settlements, and the large political and financial interests which He in the direction of sustaining prices. The continued support given to forcign stocks, notwithstanding the Russian reverses, puzzles everybody, but tends to contirm those remarks. ‘The current opinion that 2 per cent beats poll- tics will, however, soon be tested, for, whether the strong resistance of the Turks prolongs the war or not, thé tendency inthe money market, is toward dearness, and the artificiality of the present range of prices will soon be tried. - -° PATTI.

Patti's application was refused. Her husband’s was granted. The sentence “say the average cannot be more than 20 in 1,000. The regiments haye never yet run short of ration’. Bread bas Deen always suppl, and when the supply of Government meat runs short the men buy what is necessary, the moncy being furnished by the ental chest. : ¢ Tcherkassli, to whom has Been delo- gated the honor of establishing a Provisional Government in Bulgaria, has not yet arrived, Dut is expected daiiy. What steps he will ake cannot be more than surmised us yet, but 1 un- derstand that the first act of the new Governor will pe to 5 EXILE THE MOSLEM NOBLES and deprive them of their. property. This may Beem an unjust procedure, but it is the quickest surest War of changing the relations of Christian and Turk. As loug as the bulk of the wealth remains in the hands of the latter, the Bulgarians can never secure entire freedom anf eguatity. AU Moslem functionuries. for the same reason, will be superseded by Bulgarians. I shall not go into any defense of the Russian plan of civilization, since 1 know that it is not exactly perfect; but the Kussians sre rough and thorough, aud thelr ends are’ well-meant, even if the means employed are not according to the standard of Western Christianity. Tirnova it- self is eminently the plave for the work to be- gin. Jt is historical, In the year 1186 Timnova’ Was the Capital of the Bulgarian Princes of-the House of Ases, and in 1213 the Emperor Henry mamed here the daughter of the Czar Bori duly 17, 133, Eselebs, son of the Sultan Baja; took the castle ol Carevic, after a sieze of three Months, and put su end to the Empire of the Bulgarians. ‘Tirnova was : ALMOST ENTIRELY DESTROYED, - all the finest palaces being laid in ruins by the Turks, who massacred the frightened inbab- itants assembled in tne church. For 500 years tse Bulgarians of Tirnova have endurcd ‘op- pression of thedarshest kind, the Turkish hecl having been upon their necks without cessation, Xcept in the year 1310, when the Russians cap: tured the citadel. Now, by stranze chauce and aiter 60 many centuries, the wheel of fortdne has changed, and the. conquering Turks are scattered to the winds. ‘Lheir sins of oppres- sion, and the sins of their fathers, have deen visned upon them with a severity as just as it is terrible, And who can wonder that the despised Bulgarians have taken advantage of ‘the present weakness of the Turks to : REVENGE THEI OWN WkoNG3? What are isolated cases of cruclty to whole centuries of erinding oppression? The half of the-Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria have never been told. if a Christian, by economy und industry, ever managed to acquire a litle "property, he at’ once bee came the legitimate prey of the Turkish civic authorities. A few years ago a Bulgarian named Karaviosoglu, began the manufacturing ina small way of silk aud tapestry. Being an ‘enterpnsing fellow, and skillfal as well, he fradually extended his business,until his works, ‘Bituated afew miles south of ‘firnova, became ‘he centre of a villaze, giving employment to several hundred wor peuple. But such success could not be permitted to goon with impu- nity. The Tw overuor of Tirnova berun a system of depredations, compelliug Kara- osuctn to submit to extortionate taxes. He was FREQUENTLY WATLAID AND EOBBED, but could uever obtain redress from the courts. Last year the insults culminated in a vile as- sault’on his house during his absence by a party of BashiBazouks, who outraged his wife, and carried off every article of value that they could find. In consequence Karasriosogiu closed his es- sebtich avert and pele fe umania.

Correspondence of the tiny Torn (Afrtea) Argus, ft Puetonta, June 7, 1877.—The nearer we ap- proached to Pretoria on ‘our pilgrimaze hither- ward; the more we heard in praise of the con- ciliatory. tone which bad been adopted witb so much success by Sir T. Shepstone, The amnesty which he has proclaimed, the hizh sense of jus- tice which he bas shown, ina truly English spirit, by paying to the Boers just debts long due to them by their former rulers, and refused payment, the iuauguration of a Court of Justice ‘and a Police Court based on principles hitherto unknown here; all these*and similar acts have inspired confidence into the people and Jeft no roout for reeret in the mind of any one that he, tov, had contributed to substitute English rule fora scandalous miscoverpment. * On the whole, there can be no doubt that the Boer population are, almost'to a man, happy at the change, and thoroughly contented with the new ruler and his acts. Nevertheless, thé minority have remonstrated, and have sent 2 deputation to protest against the annexstionand to claim a restoration of the country to its for- mer owners. As to the eventual fate of such a mission we will not waste time in conjectiring, especially as a petition is beiug yery numerously signed by all the best people of the country, not alone expressing their satisfaction at becoming English subjects, but praying earnestly that their present Governor may be left to rule-over them. Their petition may be taken to represent very truthfully the real feeling of our new fellow subjects, i It is impossible to avoid looking forward with anxious curiosity to the effect which the mar- Yelous success of Sir T. Shepstone will have upon the Govertiment and people of England. Wil the immense wealth of the prize dropped into the mouth of Old England’ beappreciated? Will the people of England ye ready to open their purse-atrings and take military possession of the country in such a manner that it can be eld against all comers, black or white? Will the capitalists of Engidnd be ready to sce in this wondcriully rich country ove of the grandest, fields that ever was presented to man for the in- vestinent of capital? And will they be ready to let flow into the Transvaal at least a portion of the incalculable wealth now pent up at-home, idie, useless, and uuinvested?. Capital and immizration are the two great re- quirements here now ; the former to developthe resources of the vountry/tbe latter to poke up the Bocr to action and rot] him off, as it were, for the miuc of wealth. upon’ which he is con- tented to sit and pass away his life in patriarchal simplicity, without ever giving one thought to tue zmprovement of his “position or the acquisi- Hoa of greater wealth than his father had before im. : Such men are obstructive to progress, and must be removed or reiormed, for matters can- |. not be permitted to stand sHUi where they are. The emigrant has notning to fear iu coming here; the finest possible ‘spirit exists in the hearts of all the frontier settlers; they laugh at any danger that cau possibly ‘arise from the black tringe which exists around them, albeit that the black occupy invariably defensible po- sitions, and in some cases attempt to fortify them. We can bring 10,000 white mei into the- field, they will’ tell you in the Transvaal; and even if the Kafirs were united against us, which would be impossible, we could hold our own against them, apd penetrate their country and inake it untenable fur them. There is truth in what they say, for the Kafir never would dare tw come into the plains to attack. With cay alry, whieh the white man.can aiways command, the Katir would inevitably be “humilisted before he could again reach is fastnesses. This the Katir knows well, for be isa shrewd, clever, reasoning man; he knows bis Weakness, and he knows: that his only chance is to bide bis time until be can Sight the white man on eren terms. Tne great aim and object in life just now of every irocticr Kafiris to have a gun, and their cbicts encourage, and even force them'to acquire guns by every possible means. But even ad- mitting that the Kafirs were equally armed with the white population, still no cailse for alarm exists here, aud the most ‘timid emigrant may rest assured that cach white man that settles in the Transvaal tends to assure saféty,and dispel any imaginary fear. We know of ol, from the first foundation of our grand colonial Empirg, what, as a colonist, the “Anglo-Saxon is capable of overcomins, Quite recently we have wrested from savagedoin acolony of incalculable wealth: this we have done atthe point of the bayonet under great difliculties. The New. Zealanders nave now :buried the war-hatchet forever, and are laboring peacefully for the advancement of civilization and the general prozress of the colony, side by side, in tne most friendly manner with the white mau. To bring about such a state of things here no bayonet need ever be employ, a Sapte and einizrants alone are required. ss a judicious investment of capital in opentog up the country with roads, and by settling it with immigrante, it will soon,be found out that the acquisition of the Transvaal is the richest prize that has ever Xet fallen to the” lot of our motier countrys. extent ot over 100 miles coal’ crops up on the road-side, on the banks of rivers, “enerse Shere, in f4cty—and it is the customary fuel 9} the inbubitants.

WASHINGTON. Chicago's ‘New Sub-Treasurer—Pardoned— The French Exposition—Political Effect of the Strike. * i ‘Spectat Dispatch to The Tribune.” _ Wasnrnertoy, D. C., Aug. 4.—Frank Gilbert has spent the day in recciving instructions from experts in the Treasurer's office as to the method of conduting the Cnicago Sub- Treasury. He was pointed to a number of par- ticulars. in which the method of transacting busioess.can be improved, and by which the process of accounting can be simplified. Gil- bert leaves to-night far Chicago and will im- mediately enter updn his office, There prova- bly will pea very considerable change among the subordinates. The President has pardoned Des’ Anges, of the New York Custom-House, convicted of complicity. in the noted Lawrence smuggling case. Des Anges, who has served a considerable portion of his period of imprisonment, is un- able to pay his fine. District-Attorney Wood- tord has been convinced of this, and has advised the pardon, for the reason that Des Anges has promised to turn State’s evidence and to give information which would lead to the breaking-up of an extensive smuggling ring, upon conditions that he shall-be at liberty Information has been received here that Gov. Ludington, of Wisconsin, feels grieved that the President took no notice of his telegram, which proposed the arming of the invalids in the Sol- diers’ Home. Gov. Ludington should not take the neglect to notice his telegram so much to. heart, for there were bushels of telegrams re- ceived during those exciting days, very few of which in the nature of the case could be answered. Secretary Evarts, before his departure, ex- pressed the belief that it would be fmpossible {for Congress, on account of the delay, to'make any adequate appropriation for a creditable rep- resentation of the United States at the Paris Exhibition next year. Evarts also seemed to think that political events transpiring and prob- able in Europe might have the effect to post- pone, or at lcast impair, the usefulness of the ‘xvosition itself. The last convert to the President’s pacifica- tion policy is Gov. Sam Bard. He has written a letter to the President unanimously commend- ing his course. Bard has not yet selected his Post-Office. i Marshal Robert Douglas, of North Carolina, has triumphed over his enemies, and will be re- tained in office until his commission expires in June.next year. *- Secretury Sherman, according to a Senator who has talked with him on the subject, said that the Republicans will certainly carry Ohicg by 20.000 majority. Other Obio Republicans here do not fix tne majority at so high a figure. Senator Patterson, of South Carolina, denies that he has engaged Hamburg Butler and Mce- Geary todefend him,in the suit to be brought against him for alleged bribery in procuring his election to the Senate. Patterson says that the only knowledge he nas of this is derived from newspapers. Patterson, who . has just arrived from Pennsylvania, also says that the strikes .- will have an injurious effect upon the campaign there this full. ‘The. workiugmen generally will feel un- kindly towards the Republicans because it has happened that it has fallen to a Republican State Administration to suppress the strike. The Washiugton banks bave refused to re- ceive gsilver.on deposit. in. any -considerable amounts, to be drawn against in currency.

MEN THINK. * It is the. general belief among railroad men that the great strike, which has just closed, has been brought on prematurely by the instigation - of: one or more stock speculators, who acted “Mephistopheles” and- induced the men on some Of the roads to quit work when they did. From what can be learned, it seems that a strike has been talked of in the councils of the Broth- erood of Locomotive Engineers and in the Union of the fire aud train men ever since the last reductions were made by the various rall- road companies. The -signal ‘for a general strike was to have been given in Qcto-. ber, -and .the-- engineers . were. to - have taken the leadership. But os the trainmen and switchmen-and other railroad employes chose to precipitate the tight. before everything was ready, the-engineers refused to lend their assistance, and kept at work. This would ac- count for the stand taken by most of: the loco- motive engineers during the late troubles. This body of men are of a her class than others employed on trains, and their organization—the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engincers—is one of the most effective organizations of the kind in the country, They have an organ of their own, Which is edited by a committee from their own ranks, and at the head of which is the chief, Mr. 2. M, Arthur, of Cleveland. These men knew that the strike was precipitated by design-- ing and malicious parties to further personal ends, and, therefore, could not be driven into the contest, which they were con- fident would prove abortive because of lack of organization and leadership. But because the engineers bebuved so well during the late difficulty, the railroads niust not take it for granted that they are over all their troubles, and that another strike will not occur. A TripuneE reporter has lately conversed with anumber of prominent locomotive engineers, and from them has learned that a strike is gtill contomplated on such reads as had not restored the wages to what they were before the last reduction was made. Most ‘of. them are sanguine, however, that the roads will consider their grievances and come to terms. It is gen- erally believed that Jay Gould, or some of toe stock speculators who sympathize with bim, are much to blame for the late troubles. Au ad- dress was seut by the employes of the Pennsyl- yania Railroad to the stockficlders ofthe road, just previous to the beginning of the strike, Wwhich contained too much of the Stock Ex- change slang and too ‘much fainiliarty with railroad ounts to have emunated from the employes ‘direct. The facts and figures of this address were not merely errone- ous, but were grossly false, and intended, evi- dently, for effect upon the iznurant public. OF course, it was not intended that thestrixe should spread beyond the Eooneyivaia Railroad, and robably the Baltimore & Ohio. As soon us it began to spread on other roads, aud threaten- ed to injure the lines controlled by Jay Gould,— the. Union Pacific, Chicago, Rock Island’ & Pacific, and Chicago & Nortliwestera—the pay of the employes on these roads was af once re- stored, and a strike averted. This action on the part of these roads bas beon and is still severely criticised by the nanos of competing lines, whe claim that it stindffated the men on their roads to hold out until their pay was also re~ stored, while it was impolitic to make such con- cessious as long as the strike was unsubdued. The railroad . managers are now con- sidering ways and means to _ prevent iu the future strikes which place the whole business of the community in jeopardy. The editorial in yesterday’s TRIBUNE on “ ‘Lhe Rail- roads and their Employes,” commenting on the plan originally proposed by William B. Oden for providing ‘pensions or something of that cort for disabled railroad employes and their fumilies, is thought to be the proper plan for preventing such occurrences as have para- lyzed business during the last two weel Mr. Robert Harris and a number of other ex perienved railroad managers are now consider- ing that plan and intend to apply it to railroads under their charge.

John Martin and Robert Furton, two quite young men, were accused of devastating the région of Blue Island avenue, stopping street- cars, ete,, aud were held to the Criminal Court in $500 each. * : " The case of Lonis Schwartz, another rioter, was continued to the 8th, in bonds of $1,009, by Justice Scully. The abore. iss fair sample of the disposition of something like a hundred of these in- nocent young. men. Probably not one pleaded ility to .his fe. None charg. of them did anything; bus “who threw that brick ”’ was continually ringing in the ears of the magnates of justice, and forthe next two weeks, at least, the Grand Jury and Criminal Court will have their hands full. iy There is not the possibility of a doubt that many innocent parties will suffer, and have al- ready suffered, at the hands of the officers of the law. But bow can this be helped? It issimply their misfortune. -A posse of police starts out to disperse a mob. ‘Bricks and stones are thrown indiscriminately, and scarcely one of the officers escapes injury.’ ‘These are not times in which to show a great deal of partiality. The bricks come from the mob, and the individuals who are found in the thickest of the crowd, or at the head of it, are the ones who are going to be arrested. If the idle curiosity-seeker or mere spectator chooses to.cast his lot with the mob, he must take bis chances and run his own risk of getting clubbed or arrested alone with the gang of lawless .desperadocs who are for the time being his companions. Moreover, there are many really good boys who love excitement, and are always on deck when anytaing is goine on, who come involved ina crowd, and, without actually knowing what they are about or: how far taey are roing, follow the surging mobs and do e¢x- actly what they see others doing around’ them. If it had not been for the voys, there would haye been but a very small riot in Chicago. ‘There were fifty-seven of these rioters bound over #0 the Criminal Court yesterday, and there are more to come. DEAD AND WOUNDED. LIEUT. CALLAHAN’S REPORT. A Lieut. Caliahan has undertaken the job: of compiling list of the dead and’wounded, the regult of the recent riots. The press, police, and Coroner have found only five killed, but the indivations are that nearly three times that number.were killed. Many have undoubtedly been buried without permits, as was recently demonstrated by a Trisune reporter yisiting Calvary, where one person had thus been buried. What aztion the Coroner will take in these cases remains to be sven. The subjoined report is only a partial one, and will be concluded at some future date: x James Flaschuef, Bohemian, 18 years, No. 122 Fisk street, shot through the head and died afterwards. S Wenzel Novyakoosky, Pole, shot through.the head and died. Joseph -Sehervenk, Bohemian, No. 64 Fisk street, founded in the head with a bullet.

A boy, name unknown, shot in the left breast at the round-house, and taken to home, No. 146 Newberry avenue. Mr. Rosenfeldt, a druggist at the corner of Eightecuth street and Centre avenue, reports that three men were brought to his place for treatment. ‘One, 30 years of age, was shot in the left side, was taken to the County Hospital, and there died.

Not one of the whole gang could be found who would do such a Wicked thing as to raise a hand Srrrcrrep, Il, Aug. 4.—The strikers captured at East St. Louis, nine in number thus for, were arraigned before Judge ‘treat in the United States Circuit Court to-day, Maj. Blu- ford Wilson prosceuted, and Goy. J. ©. Robin- son defended, with Mayor Bowman, of East St. Louis.

It was in proof that as Carroll issued an incendiary and foolish procla- mation, written by a St. Louis Times reporter, calling for resistance to foreign troops, but there was no cyidence that he was concerned in the stopping of trains, It is probable that he and Mayor Bowman possibly wil! be prosecuted under e. State law. Goodwin, Martin, and Alden, arrested at Mc- Leansboro, pleaded guilty to unlawful inter- ference with trains on the St. Louis & South- eastern, and got ninety days each in jail.

CUMBERLAND, Md., Aug. 3.—Only one mine— the Potomac—was at-work Yesterday, and it is .40n condition that'fr 55 ceuts should be the rate against a policeman in the discharge of his duty. Somehow, nearly every prisoner had 2 revelver in his possession, aud’ every weapon produced was loaded to its futl capacity. This could not. be accounted for by many. Some had had the destroyers of life in their pockets sinve the lust Fourth of July, and had forgotten to out before the riot; some: bad been swimming in the crystal upper waters of the beautiful river, and had takena pistol aloug to protect themselves against the raids of river pirates; others were collectors for retail grocery houses, aud found it necessars to carry a revolver while raking in the fubulous amounts on the grocer’s book atter nightfall; and others again were changing boarding-houses at the time of their arrest, or were on btrsiness of some kind. A majority of them had been ordered to quit work by the strikers, and were going peaceably home when they became involved in the mob, found it im- pussible to extricate themselves,-and were borne along in the irrepressible current tar away from their regular route. . THEY WERE ALL GOOD, HONEST, RESPECTABLE, HARD-WORKING, meck, beautiful boys, and it was a ‘decided shaine that they were foredd to appear in such a vile place as a police-court. None of them had done anything. But the question was, “Who threw that brick?” And on this the law hinged. y Col. Snowhook, the eminent Irish barrister who is reported to bave kissed the “Blarney Stone,” and who is a “spartheen” in appear- ance, defended a number of the youths,—for themselves, but for some reason buth the Jus- tices refused to listen to his reason and his law, and sent cight out of every ten to the Criminal Court in bonds of from $500 to $1,000 each. The Court ran all day, Justice’ Morrison tak- ing the wheel in the early portion, and _transfer- red all changes of venue to Scully. The latter Justice came on duty at noon, and transferred all venues to Morrison. ' Later in the afternoon Justice Morrison again relieved Justice Scully, and thus the mill was kept grinding.

San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 4.—A press dis patch from Lewistown, Aug. 1, says: ‘“ Yester- day Indian Joe and his family, who have been with the people at Slate Creek all through the Indian troubles, and proved true.and faithful to the whites, returned from “Kamiah, where they had been sent to ascertain the movement of the hostiles. His squaw says the indians at Kamish. told her they were going across the mountains by the Lolo trail with their stock and. families, and when they got them in a secure place they would return and fight the soldiers. She also states that before leaving Kamiah, they went to the friendly Indiaus’ camp and drove off all the young squaws, beat them with clubs, and forced. them along like so many cattle; also came back —all their horses of any value: She further stated that the hostiles are tobe reinforced by other Indians from the other side of the mount- ains when they reture.

Keosus, Ia, Aug. 4.—A Gate City reporter, just from the scene, brings further particulars of the shocking murder of Lewis Spencer and his four children, near Luray, in Clark County, Mo., night before last. From the condition of the wounds when the physicians were called in, it is thooght the’ massacre was committed jast before’ daylight. The murderers procured the ax from the wood-pile, and evidently went first to the stable and climbed: up a ladder ‘on the outside to the loft, where Mr. Spencer and his son Wilhs, aged 10, were sleeping, and commenced the bloody work upon tuem, dealing heavy * blows upon the heads of each. Mr. Speacer had in his possession at the time about $1,200, which the assassius secured. They then pro- ceeded to the house, crept in the kitchen window, . and forced open adoorintoa bed-room on the first floor in which were sleeping the daughter Jane, aged 1S, ana the son Charlie, aged 7. Jane seems to have been struck while asleep, but the boy. was partially awakened, and struggled across the body of his sister, and was found in that position. The other daughter, Alice. aged 20, was sleeping up-stairs alone, and did not ap- pearto have moved after the fatal blow ‘was struck. ‘The murder was first discovered by a brother- in-law of Mr. Spencer named Willis James, who went there to work. He gave the alarm, and * the ceizhbors soon congresated at the scene. The father and both sous were still breathing when found, but were in an-unconscious con- dition. The father and one son lived about two - hours, and the other son a littie longer. All five of the victims jwere killed with an ex, receiving from ‘one to three blows each on the head, fracturing their skulls and mangling their faces frightfully. The ax was found under the back part ofgthe house, beneath the window through which the murderers had eaterea. It was avery heavy one, and was besmeared with blood, |, * Nothing in the house was disturdcd or carried away except a water-bucket, which it is sup posed they used in washing the blood from their hands and clothes. The tracks leading away from the wiadow indivate that there were two persons engaved in the slaughter. Mr. Spencer’s father, who is $0 years of age, and lives in the nemzhborhood, on: tearning the fate of his son's family, was stricken with grief, - and will probably not recover from the shock. ‘ ‘The news of the massazre spread rapidly, and soon hundreds of peonie were gathered at the seene. Vigilance Committees were formed, and the day was spent in scouring the country in every direction. Before night over 1,000 men on % horseback were engaged in the search, but uo traces of the mu?- derers could be discovered. During ¢the - night vigilants were stationed on all the roads. Meantime a Coroner’s inquest onthe bodies was commenced. The principal witness was Willis James, the brother-in-law. During the inquest a few drops of blood were discovered on his clothes. He was questioned about this, bat accounted for it by saying he had the nusculeed a Gay ortwo previous. The conclusion had - already been reached that the decd was com’ mitted by some one familiar with the premises, and knowing that Mr. Spencer hud a large ‘ amount of money with tin. The presence of this . vlood and other circumstances ied toghe suspicion that James 1s_the guilty party. » A@ast account the vigilants had taken charze of him aud another man named Brady, and’ gone off into the woods with them.. There is no positive’ ecyideace against them, but if the guilt can be fixed on them. there is no doubt that they will swing, as tne populace are in a frenzy over the dastardly outrage. The fancral of the victims took place to-day, and.wag attended by about 1,200 people. Tae bodies were all buried in oue grave. 5 KIDNAPPING. New Yors, Aug. 4—~The Chief of Police ot Chicago telegraphed Supt. Walling this after- noon that a woman kidnapped three children ° there, and had fled to this city with the inten- tion of taking them to Germany by today’s steamer. The woman was arrested, afd ap- peared to be a lady of refinement, and said she Was taking the cnildren to Germany to be edu- cated there. Tio Police Justice remanded the parties to the ‘custody of the police to await further particulars from Chicago. The lady’s name is Theresa Block. Taking-~ advantage of some domestic dilliculties be- tween her sister and her husband, “Ignats Singer, a -notfon-dealer of this city residing at No. 501 Clark street, she, in some manner, procured possession of the chil- dren, aad decamped with them,- in- tending to take them to Germany. The mother, Mrs, Singer, it appears, was “3 ' silent partner to this scheme. The domestic difliculty was, however, soon smoothed over, and the result was a telegram from Singer to the New York authorities to arrest Miss Bloch and the children, | Mr. Singer left for New York last evening. There will be no prosecution of the charge of kiduao- ping preferred against the lady by the New York police, oh the strength of Singer’s tele gram from this city. THE TRAMP NUISANCE. Dps Motives, Ia., Aug. 5.—Dispaiches re- ceived last night and this forenoon from J. B. Grinnell, Receiver of the Centra} Road of Iowa, state that a mob of tramps have possess‘on of the Central Raflread at Ackley, Ia. Gen. R. V. Ankeney, Deputy United States Marshal, le‘t for Ackley last night, and will summons a posse at the towns along the Central to disperse the tramps. So far as known no acts of violence have been perpetrated, The main trouble seems to be in the tramps taking possession of the trains and compelling the engineers to run them out to the neighboring stations on ex- eursions.
