2 THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY. MARCH 23, 1879-SIXTEEN PAGES ‘i . Islands as a dependent of the Empire, instead | over, when the proposition was made to take 8 | the dry-goods business in this city 0 1899 g, S32, sineg eight members of the House Committee from the South, evidently for personal reasons. Among the schemes of general lesislation to be proposed in the House, there will be at- tempts to tinker at the tariff and at the finances. With the exception of Thurman, the Senators solidly opposed any such lezislation, But the House WILL HAVE ITS OWN WAT in tis matter, and will insist tnat the Commit- tees be speedily appointed, and the- general legislation entered upon and continued till the appropriation bills with the political aniend- mets shall have been disposed of or some compromise arrauged. Both Committees, how- ever, agreed that ss soon as the latter event shal! happen all general legislation shall cease, -nud the session should terminate. It is easy to see, however, that if general lesislation is conducted at the House end of the Capitol, the pressure upon the Southern members WILL BE TOO GREAT te sit idle and see favorite measures from the House unacted upon on the Seaate table. The indications from the action of the Caucus Committee, therefore, are favorable to general fslation, and to a session of considerable length, Notwithstanding the action of the Joint Cau- cus Committee this afternoon, there are very marked signs of a desire on the vart of promi- nent Democrats not members of the Committee to get themselves and their party out of the present embarrassing position as soon as possi- ble. They are clearly convinced that the people of the North : WILL NOT SANCTION THEIR SCREME With respect to the Election laws, and they will still earnestly seek for a basis of compromise. On the other hend, the Republicans do not sevm anxious to yield anything that will weaken the authority which Supervisors and Marshals now have to observe and protect, the elections. All plans as yet proposed by tlie Democrats in- clude a report of those sections giving Marshals power to protect the Supervisors and make ar- rests of the disorderly and those openly com- mitting fraud during the progress of au elec- tion. It does not as yet scem probable that the Republicans will agree to any change in the Jaws as they now stand, and it scetms certain that they will resist all attempts in that direc- tion. One curious feature of the situation fs that a number of Democrats who took the most ex- + treme positions in regard to the entire repeal of the Supervisors’ and Marshals’ law, and were most earnest in their attempts to assist the Democracy in the movement to secure an extra seesion, now TARE COMPARATIVELY LITTLE INTEREST in the covtest, and admit that they find sufii- cient satisfaction in the fact that the House bas been successfully organized by the Democrata. ‘They say that they had feared that the Green- back men and the porsible influence ot the Ad- ministration is California might together hare made it impossible for the Democrats to have controlled the organization, if it had been delayed until December. This is the pres- ent talk of several prominent Democrats, and it is held to indicate that they are ready to give this as a good reason for vieiding their late views and attempting as little change as a due regard for appearance will justify in the Elec tion laws. THE Cavczs, To the Western Assoctated Press, Washinton, U.C., stares 22—fhe Com- mittees of the House and Senate Democratic caucus to make recommendations concerning ie order of business for the extra seasion held a jolut mecting to-das, lastice five and a half hours, Senator Taurinan presided. The first on discussed was whetber the political tion desired by the. dominant party in Congress should he effected by the passage of a separate mezsure or by tae incorporation of the repealing clauses in Appropriation biils. It was nined, after a discussion,—13 against 5 {the negative being two Senators and three Rep- resemtatives),—that the latter course wonld be the most expedient, especially for the reasor ‘Usat it seemed lixely to save time, there being a Sencral Gesire to finish the vecessary business of the session, a? 24 early a-dav as possible. THE NEXT QUESTION considered wes wue.t0r Gre puutial portions of the Appropriation bills should now be passed y sameterms in which they were passed at ‘t session, or whether the repealing clauses urd to Use Federal Etection laws should be witied su as to repeal ouly those sections Which authorize the appomtment of Chief Supervisors ane Deputy-Marshals for elections, logeiher with the sections conferring police powers on Supervisors, thus continuing the authorization tor the appointment of tw Suver- visors of different politics to serve in a testi- monial capacity at each poll as witnesses of the count of votes. After au exhaustive Ui: ‘ussion, it-was decided to recommend the adoption of . 4 MODIFIED FROPOSITION. The vote wss 14 aguinst 4, two Senators and two Keprescntatives favoring a total repeat, ‘The joint mectinz wben authorized Senators Thurman, Saulsburs, Bailey, und Kernan and Representatives Chalmers, Springer, Carlisle, and Atkins to formulate provisions in accord. ance with this decision in rezard to the Election Jaws, and alsv provisions for the total repeal of ‘the jurors’ test oath and the authorization of the presence of troops, for incorporation in the Lemistative.

They were also especielie authorized to consider the propriety of framing a substitute for Se>. 552, Revised Statutes, whic! pease penalties for violations of the Election laws. ir. Springer’s proposition to provide, in ad- dition to the repeal of the law concerning, the presence of troops at the polls, for the enac ment of the existing English statute of Ges ge II. on that subject, was very favorably receive: and a joint sub-committee will probably recom- mend its adoption. 1t prohibits any soldier ftationed within two miles of a vuting-place from leaving bis quarters on election-day except to relieve guard or tu go to the polls to vote, 2nd requires him in the latter case to retire to his quarters immediately afterwards, ‘The Joint Sub-Committee will meet Monday, and expects to report to the Caucus Committee on Tuesday. Tue jomt meeting also considered whether the legislation of the present session should be strictly confined to the Appropriation bills, includms the measures above indicated, or whether GENERAL BUSINESS SHOULD BE TRANSACTED by cither House when not engaged on an Appro- Driation bill, A devided majority favored the restriction to the Appropriation bills, and the enactment of what is knowu as the “ Yeilow- Fever bill? A small majority of the House Committee insisted thst the opportunities for transacting general business should be improved, * without, however, prolonging the session after the Appropriation bills shall have been disposed of It was finally decided to report a disagree- meat on this subject to the joint caucus, and leave the settlement to the majority of the Democratic members in both Houses. ‘THOSE CIPHERS. HOW THEY MADE HAYES PRESIDE! ‘ANS? LEITER GOT OU: Dispatch to Cinetanaté Enquirer (Dem.). Wasurnetoy, D. C., March 20.—The Evans- Potter letter, telegraphed from Indianapolis, creates some comment, as by it Evans assumes several things which he could explain, and he > also states that be made a full and frank ex- planation of bow the cipher telegrams came iv sion. He did not. The facts of that ion ure these: The cipher teleerams were selected by ike Morton Committee be- cause they Were wot understood, it being the intention to place the parties receiving and, as far os known, those sending them upon the stand, and. compelling an ex- position of their meaning, Mr. Hew- itt and others, knowing their contents, and fearing the scandal which would follow, consented to the Ltectoral Commission, and upon this aereemeut Morton and his friends cousented to abandon the investigation. The existence of these telegrams made Haves Presi- dent. For, if they had not been found, the Democratic managers would not baye consented to ube passage of the Electoral Commission bil, ‘Tilden lost the Presidency through the acts of hiswould-be friends and the National Democratic Committec, by aliowing the adop- tion and use of a cipher; and yet Mr. Tilden wae ignorant of the uses to which it bad been pa After the agreement of the Potter Commit- tee, Senator Mortou’s brother-in-law, Mr. Bur- bank, was directed to prck up all use telegrams and return them to New York. Burbspk was inflaved with bis own consequence, und ordered Bullock to doit. Bullock, who lived with Con- gressman Evans, and who is a sharp fellow in some things, said to Evans that he thought the Democrats seemed afraid of these cipber tele- grams, and that tt mist be a rood thing to save them. Evans replied by telling a story which ended with the expression, “ They would be-handy to have around the houseif.ihey. should be wanted.” Bullock took bis cue from this and locked them up in a desk. There they remained until the adjournment of Congress during the vacation and_ until the appointment of Bullock as Consul, when he took them tu the room of Mr. Evans ‘at 910 F street, and laid them on the table, with the re~ mark: “There are some papers, Mr. Evans, which may be bandy around the house in case you should need them.” Mr. Evans knew what they were, and placed them in bis desk, and, when Congress adjourned, took them to his home in Indiana, where he kept them until Jast spring. In looking over them he found that many had been sent from his own State, Ohio, Kentucky, and IMlinois, and these, he laid aside, but took to Washington the batch’known as the Tribune dispatches, the history of which is Known after that time, Those sent from the Western States. are either in his possession or that of Gen. T. J. Brady. ‘The Bullock letter got out in a way that Mr. Evans understands. In the house where he boarded lived an Indiana woman, who was em- ployed at the instance of Evans in Patent~ Otfice. She was the daugnter of hi diady, und bad access to his sitting-roomn, which was the family parlor. Bullock knew her well. 1a the course of mutual correspondence, Evans wrote to Bullock that this woman had Jost her place, and Bullock replied that he was sorry, but that it was no more than he had expect- pected, as she was always galloping up and down the halls, talking with the men, and shooting off her mouth when she ought not to. Just before the close of the ‘session in: June, 1878, Evans received a telegram in- forming bim of the death of ‘a favorite brother in Indiana. He eft ail of his letters from Bul- lock lying opened oa his table, 2nd among them the one which he accuses Potter of stealing. In & little while the ciphers came ont, and with them the query as to how they had deen ob- tained. A man connected with the House res- taurant was 2 caller zt the house where Evans boarded, and was quite ‘attentive to the young womau, who was then a widow. She it was who Tead these letters, got_mad at the criticisth_ on herself by Bullock, and then told her friend of tke letter exposing the way in which ute tele- grams reached the Tribune. ‘The man told Pot- ter. who demanded proof, and the Jetter itself was produced and copied, and the original placed on Evans’ tuble. These facts, if not known to Evans, should be, as he had every reason to suspect them, and did tell the woman that she ourht to be inter- ested in discovering how his letter got out. This closes the inside history of the ciphers and the Bullock letter, Brady has those bearing on a few of the Western States, and will no doubt make tiem public in 1880. it may be proper to say thatall Republican telegrams of a nature calculated to impair the standing of any mem- Gers of that party were removed and destroyed, 80 Uat no evidence of any such things is in ex- istence. NOTES AND NEWS. THE SURVEY BUREAU, Speciat Dispatch to The Tribune. Wasnrxetox, D.C., March 22.—Democratic Senators are of opinion that Clarence King will be confirmed as Director of the new Bureau of Geological and Geographical Surveys. Some of the most prominent: friends of Prof. Hayden, the most active competitor for the place, ex- press their opiniou that there is no doubt as to King’s fitness. The fact that he is acceptable to the engincers gives bim much strength. FITZ JOUN PORTER. There are some reasons for the belief that the opinions expressed by the Fitz Jonn Porter Court of Inquiry are, if not a fuil vindication, of such a character as to materialiy modify the findings of the first court. Nothing is said in regard to the matter either at the White House or at the Wer Department; but in some way the friends of Porter have obtained such intima- tions as give them great satisfaction. PERSONAL. D. L. Phillips, of Springfield, is nere. Gen. Beem, of Chicago, is here, and is the bearer of apaper requesting the appointment of Dr. Cornelius Logan to some foreign position, possibly to the Mission to Chili, where be for- merly lived. Theapplication has received sey- eral signatures. GREAT EXPECTATIONS. Senator Wallace, Chairman of the recon- structed Teller Committee, proposes to do some active work in the investigation of elec- tion proceedings in Northern States. He will probably commence in Pennsylvania. HOUSE COMMITTEES. Speaker Randall is very busy considering the qualifications of the new members for commit- tee places. lt took Speaker Kerr three weeks to appoint committees when the number of new members was muca Jess than it now is. It is Randall's desire not to appoiat the Commit- tees until near the end of the session, if he is obliged to appoint them at all. But the com- mands of the caucus are likely to be too strong for him. JONAS? THREAT. Senator Jonas, the new Bourbon Senator from Louisiana, does not hesitate to say thut he will doall that he can to oust Kelloge and scat dudge Spofford, Kellogg's former contestant. THE ARMY BILL. The War Department has some concern at the threatened defeat of the Army bill unless the Republicans consent to the repeal of the Fed- eral Election laws. In view of the belligerent attitude of Sitting Bull, the Eighteenth Infantry, Col. Ruzer, now at Atlanta, Ga., will be sent with all possible expedition to Bismarck. PRESIDENT GARRETT and his son, of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, have gone to Florida tor six weeks’ recreation. TELEGRAPH FACILITIES. Mr. Charles A. Tinker, Manager of the Balti- more & Obto Railroad Company's telegraph lines, has arrived, having completed two first- class wires between Raltimore and Washington, thus giving that road direct telecraph connec- tions throuzh to St. Louis, Chicago, and Pitts- burg for commercial business. This Company Propose to receive all the business they can. When Congress passes the Free Telegraph bill, it is understood that other roads are to join them in giving to the country cheap telegravh service. Several memorials have reached here from points in the West, praying Congress to stand by the Railroad Telecraph bill. Other memorials are on the way. One is expected to reach here to-day from Chicago. They will probably be presented in the Senate on Monday or Tuesday. NATIONAL QUARANTINE. The Southern members, especially Chalmers, will insist on the passage of a bil! providing for @ national quarantine, some such bill as that which pussed the Senate last session, and was defeated in the. House. Geu. Chalmers as received a letter from his brother, who isa Judge of the Misstssicpi Su- preme Court, urging the passage of such a measure, and saying that a shipful of yellow- fever paticuts has arrived at New Orleans trom Rio Javeiro, a sure augury, so the writer thinks, of the return of the pestilence during the com- ing summer. » The feeling of the people of the State and of the other Southern States on the subject is very strong, and it is growing to be intense, and the Southern members Will not care to disregard it. SENATOR GORDON. Senator Gordon's friends have very serious apprehensions asto his health. He has been troubled wit inflammatory rhenmatism ever since the adjournment of the lest Congress, und is still confined tu his room. = t A NOTABLE FACT. There is not a Union soldier among the new officers of the Senate. The only Union soldier who was a candidate, A.C, Buell, was. beaten, and doubtless finds that he fought on the wrong side.

Result of a Series of Mcetings In Spring- field, Ill, Spectat Dispatch to The Tribune, Sprincrieo, Il., March 22.—The series of Union Gospel meetings which baye been “in progress here during the past six weeks closed last night with a largely-attended meetin: ‘The services haye been held ir the First Presby- terian Church, under the leadership of the Rey. J. F. Stout, pastor of the Second Methodist Church, who, though 2 young man, has con- ducted these meetings with marked ability and success. The pastors of all the Evangelical churches of the city united in conducting these mectings, and have been assisted by an Exceu- tive Committee of one layman from each of the churches, the Y. M.C. A., and the Reform Club, Atthe close of the services last nigbt, Mr. Stout gave a statement of the results ac- complished by the mectinge, substantially as follows: ‘The first service .was orercrowded, many fall- ing to gain an entrance, and 2 deep interest was shown from the very first. ‘There has been but one small congresation, and that was on a very stormy night. ‘The preaching has been of a su- perior character and marked by great earn ness. There bas been an average of six cony sions a night for thirty nights of the mecti making a total of 180. ‘The indjrect results cannot be estimated. The churches "have been revived, the pastors filled with new life, backsliders have been reclaimed, and areligious spirit bas pervaded the city. Notwithstanding the great interest show the recent temperance movement, which draws its support largely from Christian people, the con- gregationus were uot very perceptibly dimin- ished, and the interest bas not at all” lagged, ‘The fast week has been the best of all; The leader Stated lust wight tat unity had per- yaded sl the work. He had noc reccived an unkind criticism from any of the pastors. He thanked them for their hearty support, which he knew was given largely from love for the work. In bebaif of the congregation pastors he returned thanks to the eboir which, under the leadership of L. I. Smnith, Esq., has rendered such efficient service. The congrega- tion was gratefully remembered for their courteous and kind behavior, and were ured to be as good to themselves as they bad been to the Christian workers. é The meetings are brought to a close now to be started again at a later date.

Brrum, March 22.—It is said that the Emper- or desires that the judgment of the court-mar- tialin the Grosser-Kurfurst collision be not made public. THE ALSACE-LORRAINE DEBATE, BERLIN, March 22.—In the debate in the Ger- man Reichstag last. night on Herr Schneegans? motion for the establishment of an autonomous Government in Alsace-Lorraine, Schneegaus pointed out that Bismarck, the responsible Minister of the present Reichland, lived too far away. People were exposed to countless grievances from the complex bureaucratic sys- tem now prevalent. The presence of the Lord Lieutenant and Secretary of State did not divest Bismarck of the responsibility, aud offi- cial friction is continual. They wanted the right man in the right place. Under the pres- ent syste they did not feel themselves citizens of a well-ordered State, put of an occupied country. Give them but independence, and they would become, not a bone of contention, but bonds of union between the two civilized peoples, a bridge by which the benetits of Both might be exchanged, aud. a means of interna- tional reconciliation, BISMARCK, in reply, said the remarks of Herr Schhee- gans madea favorable impression upon him, which would have been better had not bis per- oration contained an appeal to Paris, which could find no echoin Kerlin, and an appeal which pictured Alsace-Lorraine as neutral terri- tory to which the claims of France wonld be as justiflable as those of Germany. “J only state what I have intereeded successfully for with the Emperor and hopefully with the Bundsrath. In all we concede in the way of autonomy we must consider the safety of the Empire,not only in quiet times like the present, but also in less peaceful. I have begun to question whether it as right that to my other duties as Chancellor, I should add that of Minister of a country of a million and a half of inbabitants. { consider it indispensable to the couutry that it should have a solid social and political basis, and officials through whom the cbief power in Berlin may have intercourse with people. Iam in favor of the appointment of a stadtholder with o responsible Ministry, as in a Grand Dueby of similarimpértance. Military security will remain as before in the hands of. the Empire. The question as to the separtion of Alsace from Lorraine should remain open. Perbaps Alsace would be more rapidly and sol- idly organized if it did not remain homogeneous with Lorraine. .-Finally, the good sense of the population of Alsace woula work aguinst the Parisians (betweon whom and Frenchmen there is wide distinction) who remain in the Province. If Germany was quiét and. had the patience, this German oak, formerly pulled down by the French, and now propped up by the Germans, would regain its strength. Let us sce that it does.” The speech was londly applauded. VICTORIA, TALK OF SECESSION. San Francisco, March 22. Victoria dis- patch says: In Parliament on Thursday Mr. Mara asked the leader of the Government if it was the intention of the Government to take action on the railway question during the pres- ent session. He believed the House and coun- try would like to know if the Government in- tends tuking any action during tl session, or if they would wait quietly till the Ist of May. Walkem, in reply, said a second teleeram bad been sent’ to the Dominion Govera- ment asking what had become of the railway petition, und tbat a telerram had also been sent to the Imperiai Government. No auswer what- ever had been received, but one was expected within a few days. Under the circumstances it was unfair to ask the Government what action they intended to take. Mr. Mara asked that copies of all the tele- grams referring to the petition to the Imperial Government be laid before the House, as it seemed a second one had been forwarded to the Dominicn Government. On Friday the papers were brought down, when it was ascertained that the secession memorial of the Houses bad not been forwarded to the Imperial authorities from Ottawa, as May Ast isthe date fixed upon for the secession.

Special Dispatch to ‘Pie Tribune. Keoxvk, fa., March 22.—The testimony of Laura Sprouse in the preliminary examination of Bill Young for the murder of the Spencer family at Suray, Mo., was concluded last even- ing. She was on the stand nearly a week in all, the cross-examination occupying three or four days. She was bold and ivcorrigible through- out, aud her testimony has attracted more at- tention than any thut has ever been elicited by a criminal prosecution in this section of the coun- try. Toward the close of her cross-cxaminaiion she testificd that Young told here there were three concerned iu the Spencer murder, and of- fered her $200 if she would kill O. H. Cross and. Samuel Brown. At the conclusion of her examination the tes- timony for the defcuse was begun, and is stillin progress. ‘he evidence introduced thus far is for the purpose of showing that Young and Laura Sprouse were engaged to be married, that they had improper relations, nud that Laura has been testifying against bim in retaliation for his failure to marry her. Mrs. T. W. Ricketts testified to witnessing demonstrations of affection between Young and Laura, Witness bed heard Laura ask Young to marry her, and at times he told witness she would swear Young was at home the night of the murder. There was no change in Laura after the murder. She was jealous of him for going with other women. Witness was at Young’s two or three weeks after the murder. The witness also testiticd to evidences of criminal intimacy between Youug and Laura, and of indications that the latter had committed an abortion. ‘The prosecution moved that ail testimony re- Jating to Young and’ Laura cohabiting and to the latter producing ‘an abortion be stricken out, on the ground that the defense bad no right to prove specific acts respecting her char- acter. ‘The Court ruled ty exclude ail evidence tending to prove criminal relations, but to ad- mit anything showiuy their love for each other or their promises of marriage. Several other witnesses were introduced to prove acts of indelleacy between Young and Laura.’ Some of the sitnesses for the defense contradicted themselves, and got tangled up in their testimony, ate examination will probably occupy another week. MRS. PECK’S OPERATIONS. Nee Fork Nimes, March 21. In December last Mr. Lyonce Langer obtained a warrant for the arrest of Mrs, R. W. Peck, of No. 807 Putnam avenue, Brooklyn, on a cbarge of having swindled him out of $19,000. Langer is a diamond-broker, doing business in this city. in his affidavit he swears that Mrs. Peck came to him in April or May, of 1877, and requested that he allow her to take out diamonds iio show to her friends, with a view of selling thera. Mrs. Peck, it is charged, represented herself as a woman of fine social position, owning the house in which she lived, aud owning property in Worcester, Mass., valued at $60,000, besides yal- uable property Deep River, Conn. Beliey- ing uUiese representations, Langer Jet her have the diamonds.. For a time she acted up to her agrcement with him, which was, that all diamonds not cold were to be returned. Oa the 27th of January, 1877, Mrs. Peck, accord- ing to the complamant, represented that she wanted a particularly large and yaluable dia- mond to show to oue of her customers. She said that, if she could exhibit such 2 jewe’ , it would greatly inerease the confidence reposed in her by her customers. Langer gaye the Woman a single stone valued at $1,090. He instructed her not to sell it, and to return the jewel in a day or two. She failed to return the diamond, and he subsequently learned that ste bad‘pawned it in the pawnshop of a man named Newman. Lauger learned also that she had pavned other diamonds given her by him to sell, and that altogether she had defrauded him out of $19,000. Mrs. Peck dis- appeared soon after she obtained the $4,000 diamond. She was next heard of as an inmate of u private insane asylum in Morristown, N. J., where she went, it is said, for the purpose of avoiding arrest. Last summer Mrs. Peck was arrested on charge ot obtaining a large sum of money from Babbitt, the soap-manutucturer, by means of false pretenses, Beckwith, a book- Keeper in Babbitt’s employ, absconded with $200,000 worth of bons. Peck repre- sented herself as a feinale detective, entered into correspondence with Babbitt, and’ induced him from time to time to make large advances. ‘The correspondence was skillfully conducted on the part of the woman, and_ she was for a long time able to induce ner victim to believe that she knew where the bonds were, and could se- cure them with a suflicient outlay of money. When Mrs, Peck was arrested last sum- mer, ube case was settied, she haying turned over some property to the complainant. It was after this transac tion, aud when she learued that Langer was about to cause her arrest, that she entered the lunatic asylum at Morristown, N. J. Some weeks ago the police learned that she had se- eretly returned to Brooklyn. Yesterday morn- ing Detectives Corwin | and . Williams, of the Central Otice, called at’ Mrs. Beck's House in Putnam avenue, and, after esreful . search, found her concealed ina chest in the kitchen. Sie was very pale, but took her arrest coolly. When taken to court, she pleaded not euilty before Justice Walsh, and was committed for ;-examination. She said she had never even scen Langer. Her transactions with his firm were conducted with aman named Grady, a ~ knowa diamond-peddler. Mrs. Peck is well drink. Eavins proposea to go to the Garden, in place of Peter Guscio’s place, which they Were then in front of. The party, however, went into the latter place, where they found Capt. W. H. Andrews, W. L. Green, and several others at the counter taking a drink. Some of the party inguired what they were going to drink, when Fitzgerald said ne wanted a genuine Hibernian one. Some re- marks passed in reference to Capt. Andrews being elected President of the Hiber- nian Sprars’ —evi- Association {Capt dence not being perfectly caught by_onr reporter), when Mr. Green stated that Cant. Andrews bad reflected more credit on the So- ciety than many others who had oceupied the position of President. Words were rapidly ex- changed, and Fitzgerald stated to Green that he (Green) could get what he wanted at any time, or then, if beso desired it. Green started to Graw his pistol, but Fitzgerald was too quick for him, the latter drawing his and firiu Grecn immediately. Capt. Spears was stand: o at the time near the counter of the room ; Capt. andrews had moved across the hall, Fitzeerald being immediately opposite the oyster counter. Capt. Spears could not testify positively whether two or three shots were fired, but knows cer- tainly of two in rapid succession. He say Capt. Andrews crouch down; did not sce a pistol in his hands, but did see a flash from it, and imme- diately saw ashot from his rear, which struck Audrews in the forenead, killing him instantly. ‘These were the main points as given by Capt. Spears, who was corroborated by the other wit- nesses withont essential differences, except by Mr. Lavins, who threw some additional light on the commencement of the difficulty. He (Lavins) suid that Fitzgerald bad remarked be- Sore entering the bar-room that this (speaking of Andrews’ being elected President of the Hibernian Society) was one of the grandest furces he had ever heard of. Green and Fitz- gerald immediately commenced an altercation over the matter. “He did not see Green fire a shot, but did see the shot come from the dire tion indicated by Spears, Fitzgerald having re- treated bebind the screen leadigs into the Villiard-room. He saw Green attempt to draw his pistol; saw Fitzgerald get. his out and fire first; saw Green stazger and fall in a few sec onds. Did not sce Capt. Andrews fire from bis crouching posifion, p ‘The dead bodies of both Andrews and Green were lying on the floor; the first one shot in the head just at the top of the forehead, the latter ee ie heart. Both died almost instantly after ing. Gen. Fitzgerald is said to have been struck known fn Brooklyn, and her busband holds a responsible position in the Alexandria Steam- ship Company. Itis said the plea of insanity will be put forward in Mrs. Peck’s behalf. THE VICKSBURG TRAGEDY. Vicksburg (4iss.) Herald, sturch 19. Immedistely after the completion of the the- atrical performance last night, one of the blood- jest episodes occurred in our city which has taken place in years,—Capt. W. H. Andreas and William L. Green being killed, and Gen. W. ¥. Fitzeerald wounded, but to what extent the Iatter was hurt it was impossible to learn. Esquire French summoned a Coroner’s jury, Capt. W. R. Spears, in his evidence before the jury, stated substantially that himself, Mr, Foster, Gen. Fitzgerald, J. W. Lavins, W. C. Pegram, and Thomas Brideweil had been to the play together, and bad, during the intermission, taken several drinks.

J. Cassatt, Third Vice-President, Philadetphia—Dear. Sin: Re- ferting to the convereation I had with you in Jan- uary, T wish to submit the following facts: That our Company his at large expense, involving the payment of several hundred thouaands of dollars, Phtchased and erected certain pipe lines to Mittsbursz, through which we are able not only to protect the Allegheny Valley Railroad’ in paying the rate of freight. for the oil it carries, but also to secure to that Com- pany, by an agreement with it, its fall proportion of the oil traffic going to Pittsburg. Yon are ac- jvaintea with the efforts we have put forth in otber irections during the Inst month. in which we have acted in thorongh accord with the trunk lines’ 3n- terest, and I believe [ may say without ezotism we have, to the extent of our ability, effectuatly pro- tected their interests in such action. I here re- peat what I once stated to you, and which [ asked You toreceive and treat as strictly confidential, namely: that we have been for many months receiving from the New York Central and Erie Railroade, certain sums of money, in no instanse less than "20 cents per barrel on ‘every barrel of ernde oil carried by each of the trank roads. Co- operating as we are doing with the Standard Oi Company and trunk lines in every effort to secute for the railroads paying rates of Treight on the oil they carry, I am constrained to eay to you that in justice to tie interest I repreent, we sboald re- ceive from your Company at least 20 cents on vach barrel of crude oil you trausport. “The fruit of the co-operation referred to has been fully evidenced im the fact that since last tall your Company hag received 50 to 60 cents per barrel more freight than was obtained by it prior to our co-opera- tion. In submitting this proposition I feel I should ask you tolet this date from the 13t of November, 1876, but I am willing to accep: asa compromise, which is to be regarded av a strictly private one between your Company and ‘ours, the payment of 20 cents per barrel on ail crade oi! shipments com- mencing with Feb. 1, 1878. I make this proposition with the full expectation that it will be acceptable to your Company, but with the understanding on my'part that mn so doing Tum not asking as much of the Pecnsylvania Raile road and its connections as 1 have been and am receiving from other trunk lines. You are doubt. less aware that during the last two years a large amount of oi bas been shipped to Richmond via the Chesapeake & Onio Koad, and that since the purchase of the Pittsbury lines by us not one bar- rel has been permitted to go in that direction. Daring 1877, and so long as the Columbia Condnit Company afforded’ the Bultimore & Onto Road access to the oil regions, the Company, Lunderstand, refused to receive from other tran Jines for itz proportion of the'vil traffic less than 20 per cent, but after the purchase by us of the Columbia conduit, you succeeded in arranging with the Baltimore & Obto for adont half as mach ag they previously claimed. _ I may add that tne Baltimore & Obio Road are wholly ‘dependent upon us for any oil they may carry. Yours truly ANIEL O'Day, General Manager. The covert warning in the last few sentences had the intended ¢ffect. On May 15, three months after its reccipt, Sir, Cassatt addressed a letter to Robert Downing, Comptroller of the Pennsylvavia Railroad, instructing him to allow a comraision of 20 cents per barrel on all crude oil shipped over the Compans’s tine to New York, Pailadelphia, and Baltimore, from the Ast f February Previsus, and also to make sach settlements With the Company monthly. On the same day, Mr. Cassatt, writing to Mr. Day, informed hlin that directions bad been given to allow the Company the commission asked for until further notice. —— s DENIED.
