ENGLISH POLITICS. : Special Cable, Lospoy, June 12.—Mr. Gladstone’s major- ity in Parliamert already gives slgns of in- ability. The discontent reaches further than Parliament, and daily finds popular ex- pression. The general hope was indulged that when the Liberals came into power they would reverse the policy of the late Gov- emment both in home and foreign affairs, but nothing of this nature has hap- pened. Mr. Gladstone’s Government fol- Jows much the same lines of policy as its predecessor relative to foreign affairs, seek- ing excuses to avoid dealing promptly and popularly with home questions of grave_im- portance to the peaple of Great Brit- in amd Ireland. The withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan is startling and in- explicable, and will probably weaken En- gland’s prestige in {ndia. There is a gen- eral impression that Mr. Goschen’s mission to Constantinople will fail, and that Turkey will become more and more demoralized by interference in her home matters.

Tthas fallen to the lot of the Irish party to inflict gm FIRST DEFEAT on Mr. Glaéstone’s Ministry. On Saturday morning @ motion was made in Par- Jiament calling upon the Government ‘wiay information before the House showing the number of stipendiary Magistrates in Ireland who had received a legal training previous to their appointment, For pruden- tial reasons the Government refused to fur- nish the required information and opposed the motion. Unfortunately for the Ministry they did not expect the question to be reached on Saturday, and they allowed their supporters who were bored by the Irish business in progress to disperse. The En- glish members abandoned the House till by 2 m. it was converted into an Irish Parliament sitting at Westminster, and, Siv Frederick Cavendish challenged a ion in behalf of the Government, he the mortification to find himself in. a y of nineteen, while Parnell scored i ine votes, and for the first time enjoyed the satisfaction of a victorious encounter With the Treasury benches. The announcement of the resuit was heard by the Irish members with ringing cheers, such as have seldom been heard at Westminster. Vanity Fair boldly affirms Fair at the only sentiment excited in London by the Czarina’s demise was a sentiment of vexation and dis- appointment at the necessity of abandoning the Court Ministers’ ball, and eschewing the Baz toilets at Ascot. THE CHINESE AMBASSADOR, The Marquis of Tseng leaves London for St. Petersburg in the hope of settling the Kuldja question.

LITERARY. ‘The first edition of the revised translation ofthe New Testament is expected to be Teady in the autumn. The new literary paper, the Pen, has an ive review of Mr. Stoddart’s poems, describing hin as a very winning and _pleas- ant poet, a charming lyrist, and an accom- Viished literary artist The C Club 1s sending to America ot the brochure entitled. ve rmer of America,” by Au- Bustus neredien. ‘The Cobden Club also makes announcement to the friends, of trade that Gen, Garfield | has been an honorary member of that or- Bantzation since 1869.

Much notice is taken of the efforts made to Teplenish the European oyster-beds by nerican transplants. Recently 1,250,000 Awerican. oysters were laid down on the coast of Little Celt, and a com- pany has been formed to Jay down of Tory political capital and insures large pecessi(is to the Liberal party from the ers and encourages agriculturists at the moment of the ¢ t_ depressions. The brewers are equally delichted be- cause they ‘will be relieved | 9 much vexatious interference. The busi- ness classes who pay income tax will endure the additional peuny cheerfully, con- fident that the burden is only temporary. The country generally relies implicitly upon Mr. Gladstone’s financial genius to equalize the fiscal imposition next year. Tis brill- iant success distracts attention momentarily from various intestine troubles in the Lib- eral party; even Mr. Bradlaugh is forgotten. _. .THE DEFEAT OF GEN, GRANT excited the utmost astonishment here, the Times’ Philadelphia correspondent haying thoroughly listed the English public. ‘The Times itself editorially proclaimed that Grant. was inevitable. It ‘disenssed the subject during the early days of the Conv ion in_ articles bristling | with incre le blunders, but observed absolute silence” after Gen. Garfield’s nomination. Gen. Garfield is unknown here, where American politicians, a few excepted, are seldom heard of. But, after the publication of some ‘scanty information, the nomination was well received. Thoughtful English friends of America rejoice heartily over Gen. Grant’s disappearance from tho scene as a Presidential aspirant. OPERATIC. : Mr. Mapleson_has secured two hits dur! the last two weeks with Lillie Lehman and Leonora Robinson, The latter resembles in appearance Mme.

The Figaro says that. the Colone! has en- gazed her for the next American season. Mme. Semblich made her début at Covent Garden to-night as Lucretia before a crowd- ed house. The applause which burst forth after her first song instantly set the seal of her success. THE TELEPHONE. ‘The following are a few details regarding the remarkable improvements in the Gower he improved instrument con- #® ‘wooden box, fastened against and having a double attached to, its under surface. A person who wishes to use the telephone places one or both tubes a few inches from his ears, and receives the yoice of the speaker at the other end of the line so. fully and distinctly that involuntarily he looks around to see if the voice does not come from behind him, No effort is required in listening, and the in- ternal mechanisin of the instrument is gim- ple and without batteries, but the best effects are obtained with one or two La Blanche’s cells, Tliese improved telephones insure the general adoption of the system here.

Pams, June 12.—The time nas not yet come for proclaiming the separation of Chureb and State in France, but all that has lately happened, and is happening, here war- rants the belief that it cannot be far distant. Gambetta has not openly declared himself yet, but if the Republique Francaise nay be accepted as the exponent of his ideas, he fs, on grounds of expedi- ency, or “opportumeness,” as he would call it, opposed to the measure. “ The separation of Church and State,” says an anonymous writer, “is natural and advisable in Protestant and dem- ocratic countries like -America, but in France the conditions are entirely different, The Catholic Church has the most powerful organization in the world, and there would be serious danger to civil society in adopting a laissez aller, laissez passer policy toward it. Oncelet the State give up its right to contro! the movements of the Church, and it sill immediately become a formidable secret society.’ “We understand,” adds the Republique, “that in the presence of the constantly in- ereesing immigration of the Trish, even the United States are becoming alive to the grave inconvenience of the separation of Church and State.” This will cer- tainly be news to most Americans. The Republique Francaise holds very tle- cided opinions on the third term question. In its leading article to-day it remarks: “‘ Un- til now the example set by Washing- ton has been followed by all will pious respect. Gen, Grant essayed to shake off the restraint of this respect. Certainly he rendered his country great serv- ices when he vanquished the Southern Re- bellion, but they are not comparable to those of the founder of American independence. Moreovez, the General gives himself Cesarean airs, and his double Presidentship, from 1869 to 1877, has done a very great deal to lower the standard of public morality, whether he wished it or. not He seems to have grouped around him ele- ments, unhappily, very sitnilar to those we know as Bonapartism, for over there, too, there are petty Catalines, and perhaps, too, tremblers who for fear of the band would throw themselves into the arms of its chief.” LACOUR, AMBASSADOR TO LONDON. ‘To the Western Associated Press. Pants, June 12—On account of Q’Don- neli’s notice of a motion in the British House of Commons, inquiring into the antecedents of Challenge LaCour, a semi-official commu- nication has been published saying that La Cour was never a member of the Government of the National Defense, and it has never been contemplated to send him to Berlin as Ambassador.

YESTERDAY'S DEBATE 1N THE HOUSE. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. WaAsuIncTon, D. C., June 12.—The session of the House was taken up to-day ina de- bate on the Morgan joint rule to regulate the counting of the Electoral vote. A number of gentlemen spoke on cach side, but the ar- guments aro familiar to all acquainted with the proceedings during the Electoral count three years ago. Mr. Hunton, on the Demo- cratic, and Mr. Browne on the Republican side, made the most noticeable speeches. Hunton argued that the power to count the Electoral vote has resided in the two Houses of .Congress and has never been exercised by any other power since the election of Washington, when John Langdon opened and counted the Electoral vote. He held that the Constitu- tion makes a clear distinction betweon the acts of “ opening” and “counting ” the votes. The first is the function of the President of the Senate; the second that of Congress. Mr. Browne said he considered a jointrule of this character an invasion of the rights of the States. Au Elector is a State officer, and is appointea to discharge u State function. Any interference with such function by Congress is a plain violation of the Constitution of the United States. The votes are , SIMPLY TO BE OPENED and counted, and the officer to whom this duty is assigned is the President of the Sen- aie. If it is a dangerous power to confer upon one man, as the Democrats claim, how much more dangerous to confer it upon Con- gress, which is amenable to no one. Tt can- not be arraigned for an offense against the Constitution and the Jaws, while the Vice- President is an impeachable officer. The Republicans will not allow a vote to be reached on this proposition, and the Demo- crats will only make a show of persist- ency in their attempt to . pass it,’ and then abandon it. At 4o’clock to-day Mr. Bicknell, who has the bill in charge, noved the previous question, when Mr. Keifer, who for a few days has as- sumed the place of leader on the Republican side, opposed it with dilatory motions, and at 5 o'clock a motion to take a recess uniil 9:30 o’clock Monday was carricd. COMMISSIONER RAUM. HIS REMOVAL CONTEMPLATED. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasuincron, D. C., June 12.—An evening paper in this city publishes a paragraph to the effect that Commissioner Raum is to be removed by the President because the former, at Springfield and Chicago, pending the re- cent Convention, violated the Civil-Service rules, which are supposed to prohibit Fed- eral officeholders from taking any part in a political canvas or campaign, and particularly because the Commis- sioner has committed this breach of the rules, “after repeated warnings.” Com- missioner Raum said that he knew nothing whatever about the rumor. The paragraph in question was the first and only notifica- tion. He did not, however, believe the Pres- ident intended anything of the kind, as he had not used his office to further the political interests of anybody. THe had not used the patronage of his office to the extent, even, of having canvassed with any one in his oflice about the matter. MR, RAUM WAS EMPHATIC in his denial that he had repeated warnings not to take part in the Convention. He had had no warning whatever. On his return from Chivago, he had fully explained to Secretary Sherman the circumstances at- tending his participation in the Convention. It is understood that Mr. Raum will make no fight to retain his position in case Secretary Sherman insists on his resignation. The office he holds is one of great responsibility, and he could not undertake its management under a hostile administraton, With a force of 3,00 men, and _ with a responsibility for the collection of $125,000,000 of revenue, the task would be too great an undertaking; but while Gen. Raum may not know that his removal has been contemplated on account of his viola- tion of Civil-Service rules, there are others in good position to know, who think that his removal is certain, One of these gentlemen, commenting on Gen, Raum’s attitude at Springfield and_at Chicago, said that the President had been much embarrassed hy the fact that Raum had_presided at Spring- field, particularly in view of the attitude which the Administration had TAKEN TOWARDS CORNELL, who, while holding a_Federal position, also presided at the State Convention. The same official said that Secretary Sherman was, of course, - very much. dissatisfied that Gen. ‘Raum had taken such an active part in the Convention, and had worked against him- self, and this official intimated that it was by ho means impossible that Gen. Raum would have to go. THE PENSION BILL. AN ANIMATED DEBATE. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasmerton, D. C., June 12,—There was a good beginning for a political fight in the Senate late this afternoon, but it amounted to little. The text was the Mexican Pensions bill, the measure so earnestly advocated by the late Gen. Shields, and which is now un- der the patronage of “Cerro Gordo” Will- jams. It was upon this measure that the Jeff Davis dcbate proceeded at the extra sus- sion, The present bill excludes Jeff Davis, inasmuch as it prevents persons under polit- ical disabilities from being entitled to its provisions, but it repeals that section of the Revised Statutes which forbids the payments of pension to persons who served against the Union. The Mexican war soldiers were largely recruited from the South, and more of the beneficiaries of this pill will be found among the rarks of the ex- rebels. Senator Ingalls moved to amend by including in its benefits all Union soldiers of the Rebellion. This irritated the Demo- cratic Senators, who were now compelled to put themselves on the record against pen- sioning Union soldiers before they could reach a vote of the main question, which in the debate was made to appear like an act to pension Rebels. ‘MR. VOORHEES WAS VERY EMPHATIC inhis denunciations, and went so far that Ingalls deemed his. words insulting, and re- torted in kind. The bill went over, but there was one passage in the debate which prob- ably will not appear in the Congressional ‘Record. Senator Ingalls is very earnestly opposed to the bill on the ground that it is an immense grab, and Senator Voorhees favors it with equal earnestness. There had been sume heat in the debate, when Senator Ingalls, referring to the animated manner of Voorhees, said in substance: “The Senator geis excited about this time of day, and we all know where he gets his excitement.” Voorhees, in a very dramatic, imperious way, wanted to know whathe meant. Ingalls replied thathe meant exactly what he said, whereupon Voorhees, in a threatening man- ner, retorted that if the gentleman meant to insinuate that’ he was excited “from any other cause than that which is apparent from the debate, then he branded his charge as a base falsehood.” ‘Lhe line was very sharply drawn. Ingalls had intimated that Senator Voorhees was excited from liquor, and Voor- hees had with equal plainness intimated that if Ingalls | sal so it was tt hase falschood; but time brings palin to ali wounds, and mollifies Senatorial pas- sion, and in the course of half an hour atter- wwards both gentlemen had indicated that they meant no offense, and the remarks were withdrawn, But the student of history will hardly find these things in the record to- morrow. ‘ ‘Another scarecly less curions fact was the fact that Roscoe Conkling for the first time in many years seeined, at least indirectly, to recognize Biaine in debate. THE DEBATE. To the Western Associated Press Wasnrnatoy, D. ©., June 12—When consideration of:the bill granting pensions to certain soldiers and satlors of the Mexican and other wars was resumed asin Commit- tee of the Whole. ; ‘Mr. Ingalls moved to include all the men who served thirty days in the War of the Rebellion. . tr. Voorhees alleged this was one of the mnany ways of killin the bill. ‘Mr. Brown offered an amendment to Mr. Ingalls’ amendment. providing that the ‘amendment shall not take effect until thirty- vears after the close of the Rebellion. about the time since the close of an War, and, if Mr. Brown was in in , he would vote to pension jon soldier. ‘Mr. Eaion would vote against the amend- ment because it would add $200,000,000 yearly to the expenditures of the counter: In the course of a political discussion, Mr. Voorhees said this. to his mind, was the flimsiest. masquerade he ever witnessed in public life, and was least likely to deceive anybedy.” ‘The Senator from Maine would not yote forthis amendment, nor would a man on that side of the Chamber. ‘Mr, Blnuine said he would vote for the amendment simply to keep the soldiers of the Union and those of the Mexican War on et level where they now stand. Voorhves saitl he would finish the ‘The intention was to keep both off the pension rolls. He desired to call the at- tention of the country to the fact that this politician’s maneuver for a little cheap capital with no intention to benefit. the Union soldier, but to grossly deceive them into the belief that the other side want to du something when they don’t. He went on to say that the Republicans had never done Buy hing to pension soldiers more thau the Democrats had done. They had not passed the Arrears of Pension bill until driven to it by the Democrats, by the very Confederate Brigadiers now charged with hostility to the Union soldiers. Mr.-Ingalls remarked. that “thé Arrears of Peusion bill had been introduced by him and pre through under his leadership before the emocrats obtained control of Congress. Mr. Voorhees rejoined that it was passed only thirty days before the Republicans went out and “the shadow of the Democratic party was on this body, and the fear of the awe thereof.” ‘The Republicans did some- thing then they hud left undone until then. ‘The bill had been three times rejected before seni that. In further remarks Mr. Voorhees reiter- ated his charge that the Ingalls amendinent was offered to make political capital and de- feat the bill, . ‘Mr. Ingalls rose_and said—Mr, President, the Senator from jana usually gets very animated and loquacious about this time of day, and we all: know the source of his in- spiration. ‘Mr. Voorhees (interrupting)—What does the Senator mean by that? Ingalls (continuing)X—And_ we all know that that accounts for his assertions. Mr. Voorhees (again interrupting)—If the Senator means in this presence to say that —_— ‘Mr. Ingalls—I_ mean precisely what I say, that the allegations that this isa silly and foolish masquerade, that there is bad faith on the part of those who advocate this amendment, and that there is an attempt wantonly and purposely to mislead the Union soldiers, are unworthy of him in his better moods. 1 shall not submit to it, whether other members of the Senate do or not. Mr. Voorhees (wis had crossed the Dem- ocratie side of the Chamber and stood near Ingalls)—The Senator from Kansas will al- low me to say, if he desires this presence to understand that any‘excitement or word of mine is due to anything at all except my natural feelings on this subject, I brand his stntement as a base and miserable falsehood. Mr. Ingails- have nothing to say. to that. “This controversy will stand where itis lett. Ileave it to the Senate. I leave it to be judged by the country. whether the asser- tions that the Senator from Indiana has made upon this floor in regard to the motives that have actuated those who have intro- duced this amendment can besustained upon any reasonable. or decent, or just basis. As I said before, sir, I repel them myself, whether any other member of the Senate does so or not. When he talks abont masquerading, about bad faith, and about an_ attempt to de- ceive the Union soldiers, Mr. President, it is insolent and unwarrantable,—an unjustifia- ble application that is unworthy the Senator and unworthy of this presence. Mr. Ingalls then proceeded to discuss the bill, and subsequently said that he was per- sonally in favor of pensioning the Mexican soldiers, whether they were in the Confeder- ate army or not, but the inevitable deduction when the repealof the statute was attempted in this bill was that it was designed to place upon the rolls a large number_of those who served in the Rebel army. Tie demanded that his efforts to secure pensions toythe Union soldiers at the sume time should be credited with good faith, and not termed a silly masquerade or an attempt to dece! ‘Mr. Brown made a long speech, holding there was no necessity for bringing party feeling into the debate. When the Union soldiers were old and decayed they would be pensioned. Soldiers of no war had been pensioned until they erew old except for dis- ability incurred. Ie deprecated the sectional references in the discussion, Southern Sen- ators held their seats by right, not by suifer- ance. ‘The War did not decide that the South- ern States had no rightto representation. It decided they had no right to secede. He had been a secessionist, earnest and active, He minced nothing about it, But that was a question of the past. ‘Mr. Ingalls then rose to a personal expla- nation, saying: Early in this debate, exasper- ated and somewhat heated by what I con- cvived to be the unjusiifiable words and man- ner of the Senator from -Indiana, I ‘used language that upon reflection I feel was un- warranted, and that Idesire to withdraw My personal relations with that Senator have been always so agreeable and intimate, and my regard for him is so sincere, that any in- terruption of our relations, however tempo- rary it might bé, would, Tam sure, be much more a source of regret to me than to him. And, feeling as Ido, Task permission of the Senate that Limay be allowed to withdraw the language I used, and that my remarks in the Record may beso modified as to omit any imputations that might seem to be offen- ie or disagreeable to the Senator from ndiana. "rhe Presiding: Officor—The Chair hears no objection, and the request is granted. ‘Mr. Voorhees—Nothing could be more gratifying to me than what I have just heard, and [ hope the withdrawal of the remarks ot the Senator from Kansas will embrace any- thing that ] said atthe time of the occurrence to which he alludes. And I can say in re. sponse that for the Senator from Kansas I have always cherished sincere and personal attachments for his high qualities, and Iam glad indeed this matter may pass away as indicated. While I cherish strong con- yictions upon subjects, and may utter them ina way perhaps that is somewhat stronger than I might do under cooler circumstances yet I can say to the Senatorfrom Kansas, and fo all other Senators, that nothing 1s more painful to me than to know that E have wounded a brother Senator’s feelings. ‘The conference report on the bill relating to timber trespassers passed. Mr. Windom announced his desire to speak upon the exodus question Monday. Pending further action on the Mexican Pensions bill the Senate went into executive session, and soon after adjourned, until Mon- day. ‘Nore.—Several Senators, including Blaine in behalf of Ingalls and McDonald in behalf of Voorhees, ask that the offensive language and consequent explanations be omitte from the Senate report.} ‘ ta SHERMAN, HIS RECALCITRANT SUBORDINATES. ‘Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. WasuineTon, D. C., June 12.—The atten- tion of Secretary Sherman was to-day called to the statement in several: journals that after promising to reappoint Collector Ful- ton, of Philadelphia, he did not do so. Mr. Fulton and his friends, after promising to support Mr. Sherman at Chicago, advocat- ed another candidate. The Secretary promptly denied the charge, and said, “I have -nothine to do with Gen, Wartranft’s selection as Mr. Fulton’s successor. It was the actof the President. I did not know who was Mr. Fulton’s preference for the nomination. I certainly did not think he was for me,” “It is also alleged that the removal of Col- lector ‘Thomas, of Baltimore, has been de- cided upon because you do not believe he was sincere in his support of your cause either at the Maryland State Convention or subsequently.” The Secretary paused for a moment before returning areply, and then said hesitatingly: I don’t know anything about that.”” “Tr IS FURTHER RUMORED that those Treasury officials, Cen. Raum among the number, who supported cither of your competitors for the nontination are to @ dismissed.” “¥he ‘Treasury officials at Chicago were nearly unanimously against me,” responded the ecretary; “they were nearly all for Grant. He had aprolnied them to their of- fices, ahd they doubtless thought they would retain then under him.” The Secretary here suddenly checked him- self. Itwas evident that he. hud no very great affection for those gentlemen occupy- ing high positions under him who antag- onized him at Chicago. NOTES AND NEWS. CHICAGO CUSTOM-HOUSE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasuiverox, 1.C., June 12.—The Senate toxlay, in the Deficiency bill, avpropriated $25,000 additional for the Chicago Custom- House building, so that the appropriation as amended reads, ‘For the completion of the Custom-House, Court-House, and Post-Office building and approaches at Chicago, IIL, in- cluding steps, grading, sidewalks, and pay- ing, $125,000.” . TUE MILWAUKEE COLLECTORSHIP. The contest over the Collectorship of Cus- toms at, Milwaukee has finally been settled by the appointment of John Nazro. TRE DEPUTY MARSHALS’ BILL, The Democrats very nearly stole a march upon the Republicans this morning and al- most passed the Special Deputy Marshals’ bill with the House amendment without ob- jection. Just as the announcement, how- ever, was about to be made that the bill had passed, Senator Hoar, who had not been on guard, asked what It was, when his single objection carried it over under the rule. DEFICIENCY APPROPRIATION BILL. The Senate accomplished a good day’s work in the passage of the Deficiency Appro- priation bill, which is the last of the appro- priation bills. ‘Chere were but few amend- ments added to it, and in these the House will undoubtedly concur, so that this part of the work of the session is practically ended. It would have heen possible for Congress to have adjourned. to-day. The most of the time until Wednesday next will be spent in passing some usefuland probably more use- ess bills and in preparing the way for raids upon the Treasury. THE APPROPRIATIONS. To the Western Associated Press, Wasmrneror, D. C., June 12,—All the regular annual appropriation bills, except the Deficiency bill, have passed both Houses. The Sundry Civil is in the hands of the Con- ference Committee, and the Deficiency bill with the Senate. ‘fhe total amount appro- priated is $14,691,062. CONFIRMED. The Senate confirmed Virgil D. Stock- bridge, Assistant Commissioner of Patents, and Robert G. Dyhrenfurth, of Mlinois, Ex- aminer-in-Chief in the Patent Office. TRADE AND LABOR. THE LEADVILLE STRIKERS. Denver, Colo., June 12.—To-day’s Lead- ville advices state that at 10 o’clock this morning all the fire-bells tolled as a signal for closing all places of business according to the agreement of yesterday. Ten companies of 100 men each, armed with Winchester rifics, formed, and this afternoon 1,500 citi- zens, two-thirds armed, paraded the streets. Five hundred strikers were collected in front of the Chronicle office. Mooney, the leader, told them to go home and behave like men.

CRIMINAL NEWS. A Colored Woman Found Tere ribly Mangled Near Indian= apilis, Ind. Her Husband Subsequently Discov- ered Murdered in the Woods Near By. A Murderer Arrested After a Long Hunt in 9 Michigan Town. The General Criminal Record—Vil- lainies of Various Sorts. A MYSTERIOUS DEED. Special Dispatch to Ths Chicago Tribune, Inpranapor.is, Ind., June 12.—Yesterday afternoon the neighbors of John Williams, a colored farmer living near Lawrence, cleven miles enst of this city, were notified by two negroes hailing from this city that Williams’ wife was lying in her cabin nearly killed. The alarm thus given led to an investigation which resulted in finding the woman stretched upon the floor with a numbor of dangerous wounds and her body covered with bruises. She was still conscious and able to mutter answers to questions in a somewhat incoherent manner. To the in- quiry, “Who did it?” she replied, “John,” her husband’s name. ‘Where were you when it occurred?” was next asked, and she answered, ‘In the clearing,” meaning a garden patch adjoining the house. These answers seem to point to her husband as the criminal, especially as it was known that they did not always get along well together, and that for several days Williams -had not been seen in the neighborhood. Other dis- coveries added to his guilt. A wood-cutter’s Thattock, covered with blood, was found in the house, and half a milo away Williams’ horse lay with its throat eut, and near it o hat that was identified as belonging to the husband, ofthe mangled woman. But this morning such a theory was rudely dispelled by the discovery of Williams’ dead body in the woods adjoining where his horse and hat lay. Death had been inflicted by means of some blunt, rough instrument, probably a billet of wood, the head belng crushed into a shape- less nass. But nothing was found to afford the slightest clew to the murderers. No tracks or other marks were found, and nothing dis- covered with which the crime could have been committed. At this writing, therefore, the affair remains a great mystery. The woman was immediately taken to the hospital in this city, where she is lying in a seini-conscious condition, with little hopes of her recovery. The doctor reports the skull fractured in front and behind, and the left arm badly bruised, evidently re- ceived in the attempt to ward off blows by the savage murderers. John Williams and wife were middle-aged people, without children, who first made thelr appearance in Lawrence tour or tive years ago, when they cultivated a piece of iand_ rented from the father of James Thomas. ‘They wandered to and from Indianapolis, spending the sum- mer in the country and winters in town until last winter, when Thomas em- ployed Williams to cut weod for him. When the job was completed Williams declined to leave the place, saying he would remain, and, for a place to live in, do such work as was required of him. In pursuance of this arrangement the cabin wherein Mrs. Will- jams was found was built for their accom- modation. Mrs. Williams was considered to be a white woman by those who knew her, but when charged with it always in- sisted that she was colored. nm an interview this evening James Thomas stated that he knew nothing whatever of the affair; but that some time ago, just before 8 colored neighbor’s barn was burned. a step- son of the owner (Zeph_McCure) visited the A cabin, and, it is said, insulted Mrs. Williams. She informed her husband, and together they ran him over the fields a mile anda half and then left the country. This was given with the intimation that possibly McCure had returned to be revenged upon the supposed burners of his father’s barn, Another suspicious feature is the fact that the two men who gave the alarm have not since been seen, nor is it known who they are. The discovery offthis horrible double murder by fiends who carried their bloody designs ont against even an_unoffending hors created the utmost excitement in the neizh- borhood, which is intensified by the mys- terious circumstances surrounding it. It 1s not even known when the dreadful crime was committed, whether Wednesday or Thursday night, as the victiins lived in a secluded spot, and days sometimes elapsed without their neighbors seeing them. CAUGHT AT LAST. Special Dicpatch to The Chicago Tribune, Dernorr, Mich., June 12.—Friday night detectives arrested one Robert Williams, who is wanted at Wapokoneta, O., for the murder of the Marshal of that place, Will- jams and two others are charged with -hav- ing “cracked” a safe in Wapokoneta last November, and, not being able to leave the place under cover of darkness, they took refugein a barn, where they were discovered. ‘The barn was surrounded and a fight en- sued, during which the Marshal and one of the burglars were killed. Williams escaped and fied to this city. ‘The Detroit detectives have hunted him from place to place, captur- ing him finally, as noted, to-day. His friends caused him to’ be produced in the Circuit Court on a writ of habeas corpus, and, asthe officers were without the necessary requisi- tion from Gov. Foster, he was discharged. He was immediately rearrested under the State law charged with being a fugitive from ustice, and remanded to jail in default of ail to await the arrival of Ohio officers, AN INCENDIARY.

CONSIDERABLE excitement was felt In tho neighborhvod of the United States Marshal's of- fice yesterday by the escape of a prisoner named Owens. Iv appears that be bud sent from Mis- souri Valley, Va.. a postal-card cuntaining ob- scene matter. Owens is one of te species of small-fry actors, and had bec ome attached to § young girl named Mary Fuller, who was in the same little traveling company. She treated him rather coldly, and in revenge he wrote 8 postal- card to J.T. Lester, of the Hulsted Street Opera- Flouse, on which was written the most vile in- sinuations against Miss Fuller's character. The young lady's father took the, matter in hand, and had Owens arrestod for sending obscene Matter through the mails. Owens was safely planted the “" Marshal's in the new Government Bullding yesterday afternoon. His guardian stepped intu the outer office for a sheet of paper und Owens improved the opportunity by opening the win- dow and escaping {uto one of the open rooms on the third floor. The building was thrown info confusion by the Inroxd of Deputy-Murshals looking after their man, but not the slightest trace Was found. This is tho second case where a criminal has escaped through the windows of the Marshal's office. and common prudence would seem to indicate the necessity of addi tional safeguards in this direction.
