It is said that the prices of meat here have since the war been twenty per cent. in advance of Baltimore prices, and it is hoped that the advent of Baltic more butchers here will bring Baltimore prices. The managers of the market company have been advised to establish a large slaughter- bouse on the French plan, and to buy and slaughter beeves, sheep, -» more extensively than has heretofare beon done by private butchers. In this way it is said that not only could the company furnish meats at lower rates than now obtained, but they could ‘ize a handsome profit upon tne outlay.

Davis, Asst. Sec. State:—Sir: About the let of May, Jean Louis Zegaine, Francois Onellette, and Antoine Onelette, residents of Manitoba, were trading with Indians for furs at White Mud River, near Wood Mountains, when a party of eight men, led by one Charles Hart, tien reocrnsiom | themselves to be authorized by the marshal Manitoba, seized on seven hundred buffalo robes and the effects of the traders named, on the ground that they were trading with smuggled goods on American ter- ritory. I have written to Wm. F. Wheelan, marshal of Manitoba, to ascertain whether Hart was acting under legal! authority, being of the impressien that it was a pretext for rob- bery. The locality in question is near the un- ascertained boundary north of Fort Benton, but a generally supposed to be on the Canadi wide of the trontier.

The District Commissioners met in their rooms at the Arlington Hotel this morning, and at 9 o'clock RECEIVED THE BOARD OF FIRE COMMISSIONERS and officers of the fire department: There was an informal discussion of the condition and needs of the fire department, during which the Instrict Commissioners stated that they had heard a good account of its efficiency and said it was their desireto do what they could to promptly relieve the necessities of the men and otherwise promote the interests of that branch of the public service. The financial situation was talked over, and the Congressional appro- priatious for the fire department referred to, and the District Commissioners requested the Fire Commissioners to present to them a state- ment of the indebtedness of the department to duly Ist, with other statements necessary t> show the exact position of affairs, which was promised them at an early day. WHAT THRE ROARD OF HBALTH WANT. Shortly before ten o'clock a. m. the Commis sioners received the Board of Health. The Commissioners stated that they desired to meet the board for the purpose of learning from them the sanitary needs of the District, and to obtain trom them such suggestions as they had to pre- sent for the most efficient method of keeping the city in @ proper sanitary condition, and also that er might properly understand each other and work in harmony. The members of the board presented to the Commissioners their views upon several topics: First, They desire that the entire garbage <= mand everything connected with it sball laced under the control of the Board of Health, and that all the employes and attaches shall ‘be held directly responsible to the board for a faithfal perform- ance of their work. Second, They ask that the matter of cleaning out the sewer traps be turned over to them, and that they have the wer todo away with the present system of ipping out the filth with buckets and leaving it upon the pavement for hours to breed disease, and that acthority be given them to use the odorless suction process and deposit the refuse in proper receptacles at once and have it re- moved. Third, They desire to have full power to remove all nuisances existing in alleys and clean them immediately upon the receipt of a com- plaint without being compelled to refer the complaint to other officers as heretofore. Fourth, They desire the same power in the re- moval of all dead animals move, designate a place of deposit and pro means of disinfecting carcasses if necessary fore disturbing them. They desire in connection with the above, that ail of the offal uf the Dis- trict shall be placed under the entire control of the Board of Health, that they may adopt a system of taking care of it, removing it, and utilizing it as soon aa their system 1s perfected, thus beeeine the entire sanitary condition un- der one head and into one harmonious whole. ‘The Commissioners requested the board to put their suggestions in writing and submit them, which will be done to-day. A DELEGATION OF WORKINGMEN. fter the interview with the Board of Health ted, a delegation of workingmen (white and colored), recently employed by contractors under the Board of Public Works, was admit- ted, and stated that they had called to see about their pay; that the contractors were owing the workingmen a sum aggregating eighteen or twenty thousand dollars; that their claims had been put into the hands of an attorney, and they were desirous of learning when they would be paid. They were informed that the Com- missioners were not quite prepared to pay them now, but were making every effort to do so at the earliest posible moment, and were quite anxious to pay over the money entrnated w them; that as soon as the pay-rolls were ready Lael men would not be kept waiting a single our. OTHER CONPERENOES. Later in the day Governor Shepherd, Seere- tary Stanton, and Lieutenant Hoxte visited the Commissioners, and held consultations with them. The Ist and 241 Controllers also called atthe request of the Commissioners and con- ferred wtth them in regard to the accounts of the District. By invitation of the commission- ers, Senator Thurman was present for two hours, and gave his views of the affairs as they were developed during the investigation, and sesisted the commissonere in the interpreta- Uen of some legal questions. Prrsorat.—Hon. L. D. Woodworth, 17th dis- trict of Obio, has been renominated by accla- maticn. INDIAN MURDERS AT PEMHINA.—The follow- ing telegram was received to-day at army heacquaiters from Kk. C. Drum, assistant adju- tant general, dated Chicago, July 7th: ‘Col. Greene, in the absence of Gen. Terry, tel graphs that about one bandred Cut-head Sicux sppeared at St. settlement nd killed one family of eix or eight pereons and burned sev- eral houses. The commanding officer at Pem- bina sent one company to the scene of action, and Col. Greene has telegraphed him to call on all the citizens of Pembina and vicinity who want to aid in their own protection to come on, mounted, and they will be armed, officered and made useful; deeming this course better than to loan arms and ammunition to irresponsible parties. I bave cautioned Col. Greene to be very careful how he involves the government in calling for citi to organize.” Hyprorsopta Curgp.—The New York Herald publishes a highly interesting case of ainful importance at the present moment. here, circumstantially related, is a case of a jourg woman, twenty-two years of age, who, aving been bitten by 8 mad dog two weeks onny, was taken ill on the 19th day of eptember. A physician was called who found her in all the convulsions of hydrophobia. Five days thereafter she was convalescent, the treat- ment baving been that she was deprived of sev- enty-two ounces of her blood by “the bold and early use of the lancet.” BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A CHILD.—The Waterbury (Conn.) American gives the partic- ulars of a case of brutal treatment in that city of alittle girl, aged twelve years, Johanna Allman by name. As alleged, the mother choked the child, then put it on the floor and < nm her knees, and, taking the child's ead een her hands, pounded it against the floor. This occurred twice in the same day, the father joining in and bratally kicking the littie girl. The nelghborsa have taken charge of the child, butit is feared that she will not hve.

Buitor of the Star:— Permit me to give, throagh yar bright & short description ot ba ly ‘Milos: inmer resort, situated in the finest part of Loudoun county, Va., on the east aide ot the Blue Ridge mountain. The location is lovely, being on a little eminence between the bigh mountains clothed in their blue, which seems the very clouds to touch. Without de- tracting the ch: f other resorts, Yatton is Tecognized as the summer home of health «a1 cemfort; each year adds to its popularity. A fine piazza has been built in front; the lawn has been enlarged; the bath-room has a splendit plunging pool, filled with clear water trom a little stream dancing ¢own the mountain side plenty of crystal ice, and pure, healthy spring Water. The house is conveniently situated, near Purceliville depot, on the Washington and Ohio railroad, and therefore mst convenient fur men of business who have their families at Yat ton. The rooms are large, well furnished an! ventilated; the table is supplied with the bes the season can afford; the fare is delightiul, the cooking excellent sud well gotten 0; by the old Virginia cook, “ aunt Rachel.” r. A. O. Wright, the genial proprietor, is nn- tiring in his efforts to please aud entertain his guests. Nor is Yatton without its pleasure and recreation. The days are spent in riding, read ing, fishing, bathing and sleeping, cards and croquet. Of the latter the Washingtonians are the champions. Late in the evening the coach and horses are reined up before the large stons mansion, and the seats filled up with laughing belles and gents of Yatton, and off at a 2:40 speed over a smooth road to some country dance or picnic, or to the top of some lofty hill, whor: one can’ get a view of the lovely Valley of Vir- oe Itisone of the most picturesque scene: in the mountains; the wild flowers, the wild romantic scenery, all add to the beauty of the scene. While this is going on, the lawn in the rear of the house is filled with many children, swinging and playing; in front, on the piazza. are the older persons of tender thoughts, in- haling the invigorating air which comes pour- 7 through Snicker’s Gap. ‘he first hop of the season was given on the 4th instant, but as the evening drew near the clear blue sky of Virginia was overspread with dark clouds, andere the time of the hop it was raining heavily. Notwithstanding this, some of the invited guests wereon hand fo participate ina night of social pleasure. Dancing begun at 8:30, and continued till the proprietor an- nounced 12 o’clock, and the omen left, while the musicians performed the touching strains of “Home, Sweet Home.” Among the guests of the house were Major Compton and wife, of New York city; Mrs Eddie and ber two daughters; our esteemed citizen and merchant, T.N. Naudain, and his wife and daughter; Col. Humphrey, wite and daughter; Mr. and Mrs. Schott, and others of Washington. CoRRESPONDENT. VERDICT IN THE MILL River Disaster — The full text of the verdict of the coroner's jury on the Mil: River disaster is much more poi than the telegraphic summary seemed to cate. The jury ar ar to honestly tried to fix the responsibility for this great calamity without unnecessary division thereof. Never theless, some division was inevitable. The vere dict—one juror Giseenting says hat the Logis. lature was primarily at fault; it granted a char- ter to the owners of the reservoir for the con- struction of a large dam in a dangerous p! exacting no safeguards for the security of 1 fe and property below thedam. The next respon- sible persona, according to the entire jury, are the proprietors, the engineers, the contractors, and the connty commissioners. These are all blamed—in the order named abowe—for the ter- rible disaster. So far as poseble, the men are called by name, and the building committee of the corporation are specially mentioned as being responsible for the breaking away of the da:a. Taken altogether, the presentation of the case by the coroner’s jury is a forcible statement of gross and criminal evasion of law and trifling with life and property. Rev. Mr. Beecuen’s Vacation—On Sun- day Kev. H. Ward Beecher preacled his last sermon before the summer recess. ‘The topic ot his discourse was the religion of love. He ex- patiated on the fact that a pure Christian life in thonght and deed was the greatest triumph over the animal man within. In concluding his discourse, referring to the communion which they were about to receive, be said it would be the last time they would have the opportunity of doing eo with him before he left them for t summer vacation, and it might be for Some members of the congregation unders' by this expression that the pastor hinted that might never return to assume charge of the church, while others eaid it was meant only i general sense to express the uncertainty of ail things in this life. *DITION OF BisHor Waxraw.—Right Ree Bishop Whelan, of the diocese of Wheeling, w' has been extreme'y ill at St. Agne’s Hospit in this city, since Friday, June 25, was last night somewhat improved. He rested eas:!y several hours, but bis oondition ts, notwi hme very critical. He is assiduously at tended by the Sisters of Charity and his vicar —, Rev. Father Parks.

Tae victim was a young woman named Mary Tyman, sometimes known as Flien Shannon, and the deed was committed in her sleeping-room at the lodging-house No. 34 Oxford strest, near the corner of Beach. The discovery of the dy- ing woman war inade by a young man nemed Colby. He celled at the honse, and on knock- ing at Miss Tyman’s door received no answers Finding that he could not enter the room or get an answer, be asked Mrs. Dannels for a ke! and learning that «be had none, he told ner the oor was locked and he could ‘not get in, and the two then went to the door, aud, looking through the keyhole, saw a key in the lock. After some delay an entrance was erected and before them lay the scarred and bloodstained victim, unconscious. The pillows, sheets, and mattress were thoroughly saturated with blood, and the victim, balf naked, ber face, neck and arms stained red, ber clotted hair sweeping about her pallid temples, ail formed a scene to drive the invaders from the apartment. [tis Probable that the murderer performed the loody work at about midnight, or a little be- fore, which time corresponds with the statement of Muse Fletcher. There is no doubt that the woman was in bed at the time the assassin en- tered her room, and that the murder was com- mitted while she lay there. ‘This conciasion ia drawn from the fact that the room was in order, Or as nearly #0 © a room would naturally be after the occupant had retired.

PENNSYLVANIA Coat Trane. trade for the past weck Las been quiet at this period of the year. The chief f the tr that the production and marketi of coal this year already exceeds ten millions tons. The amount is easily spoken, and large figures are Fo common that we scarcely appre- ciate their magnitude. Ten millions of tons of coal brought from its depths in the earth, pre- pared and put into market, covers an amount of labor and capital and a value that isin the comprehension of a few, and is perhaps not realized by one in a thousand of those who flip- pantly roll the words covering the f the tongue. We simply note the fact readers may think of it, and by c the trade now with what it was ten years ago endeavor to estimate about what it must ne- cesarily be ten vears hence. The sapply of coal is quite large, though the shipments from the Schuyigill region have ent ceased from the 2d instant, to afford opportant- Ues for improvements and repairs on the line and at Kichmond, which, it is probate, will quire « fortnight longer to complete. Im moet of the other coa! regions the production York Woman from various csuses will be redaced to about balf the usual tonnage. This wil! afford oppor- tunity for a pretty large reduction of stocks at the princips! coal centers, after which it may be expected the trade will continze fairly ac- tive to the end of the season. There is a mode- rate movement in the local trade, and prices are fully maintained. Not much has been done ae yet in Isying in winter stock for domestic uses, that demand usvally holding off to neat the beginning of the last xummer month. It is given out a 4 fixed fact that the price of coal Will be maintained and that at least one more advance of ten cents per ton will be made. Phila.
