Scholl, Patze, Barker, Briscoe, and Ross, waited upon the Commissioners this morn- ing, and through Dr. Morgan, chairman, pre- sented resolutions adopted by the association, the purport of which was that they endorse the plan submitted a few days ago by Drs. Hall, Busey and others, for free dispensaries tor the poor, and are willing to cooperate with those medical gevtiemen in the plana submitted. Goy. Dennison replied that several ulans had been laid before the Commissioners looking to the same objects, all of which would receive due considerat The Commissioners are willing to take euch steps as will accomplish the obj sought, keeping only in view etticiency and econemy. No plan lias, as yet, been accepted, but the one alluded to was weil spoken of, and its respectable origin will entitle it to great con- sideration when the matter comes up tor action. ‘The delegation then retired, NOTICES TO CONTRACTORS. The contractor for the improvement of 5th street east, between East Cavite! and B streets south, has been directed to relay the gutters and cobblestones taken up by him,to put in a trap ard sewer connection in alley in square S41, andto remove boulders taken from sewer excavation and left remaining in the aliey.

Tue child was dreseed in girl's clothes. and bears a striking resemblance to the photograph of ie Ross received by the county attorney trom Philadelphia. CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED OUTRAGE ON Two GreLs.—Samuel Augustas, colored, of Philadelphia, is charged with committing’ as- sault and battery with intent to commit ar pou the persons of Henrietta Rhoades and Mary Jane McHugher, aged respectively abo sixteen years.

One of the young ladies is eUill suffering from the effects of the assault. He is a robust negro, about thirty-five years of age, and a married man with three children. ihe arrest was made by Constable Emery, of Norristown, who took the prisoner to the jail in that borough last night, Kitrep His Wire's PakaMocn.—A telee ram from Council Bluffs, [a., August 15, says esterday, at Silver Creek, 12 miies from here, Jacob Stoves shot and instantly killed J. J Clark. Both were farmers in good circumstan- ces. ‘The cause of the shooting was alleged criminal intimacy between Stoves’ wite and Clark, which is ‘said to have been going on a year and ahalf. Atterdoing allin his power to reclaim his wife, Stoves at last had recourse to the use of a shot-gun to rid himself of the de- sirover, of his happiness. He was brought to town at a late hour last night and is now in jail awaiting preliminary examination, which will be held in a day or two. DONALDSON’S BALLOON made Boston yesterday afternoon. Donaldson was accompanied by W.D. Baich, of the Bos: daily News, and C. H. Baldwin, of the Satar- day evening Gazette. Ihe course of the bal- loon was directly seaward, and when over Lon; Island Donaldson ehouted to men on the ground to seize the drag-rope, which is about 300 feet long. Their efforts to pull the balloon down, there being a strong wind blowing, caused it to burst, and the balloon came down with a rush. Donaldson jumped out when the balloon was within afew feet of the ground, which tre it so that his companions landed wi injury. A Stncutar Locat Option Casm.—A Mr. Domer in order to evade the law in force in Jefferson county, West Virginia, took out a license to sell liquor at a place called Bridge. rt, opposite Sbenberasiown, and procuring a t he anchored it on the West Virginia side of the river and supplied the Regpoie fing a e @ trip from herdstown with liquor. He was indicted in Washington county, Maryland, court for selling liquer without license on the ground thata license for Bridgeport would not protect him in itssale onthe opposite side ef theriver. He was found guilty of the charge. A SHOOTING APFRAY occurred Monday on the Tennessee side of the Mississippi river, near Point Pleasant, in which Albert Nail and a youre man named Frenham were killed and eorge Darnell was mortally wounded, and Captain Cole and two bi named Coe were seriously wounded.

The Beecher Investigation. WORK ON THE COMMITTRE’S REPORT. The sub-committee of the Beecher investi rg committee, consisting of Mesers. Sage, Win- ‘ow and Cleveland, held a meeting yesterday for the purpose of consultation as to how their report should be drawn up. It was decided to commit the preparation of the draft of the re- port to Mr. Winslow, to be submitted to the other two members of the committee for re- vision. These in turn, will submit it to the original committee of six, who will make any alterations which should be necessary, ani then band it over to the examining committee of Plymouth church, who will report at the sne- ceeding Friday night business meeting of the cbureb. The Brooklyn Argus reports that Roger A. Pryor has been retained as counsel for Theo- dore Tilton in his coming suit.

A number of Indians, supposed to be Pawnees, camped near a homesteader’s cabin, and two squaws went in search of food. Tacy came to the liouse when the man was absont and went through iti spite of the wife's re- monstrances. Finally they attempted to take away the family provisions, to which the wife objected. The two equaws beat her over the head. Just then the husband came in, and seeing bis wile wounded, took his gun and shot one of the Fyuaws. The other squaw ran to the Indian camp and reported what had been done. Twelve of the Indians then entered the house. captured the homesteader, skinned him, ent ni hands off aud his heart out. This was done in the presence of his wile. A large party of par suers has left Westpoint in aearch of the fudiax but it is almost certain that they will not tind them.

When he prepared this state- meut, Mr. Moulton denounced Mr. Beecher to the correspondent of she Chicago Tri une, who next day telegraphed his statements to his paper, where they were published on Monday, August 10th, the very day on which Mr. Moul- ton submitted his short statement, contaiming some of the gravest allusions.

A Missouri Marder Mystery TERRIBLE FATR OF A MAN AND WIFE. Sr. Loris, August 19.—In relation to the mur- T of B. H. Johnson and wife, at North Lex- ington, Sunday night, it appears that Johnson had not lived happily with his wife. Some months ago he left tor Kentucky, but returned suddenly on Sunday evening, accompanied by Lorenzo Johnson, a cousin, one mding @ fine horse ard the other a male, and stopped at the house of the mother of Johnson's wife. In the night pistol shots were beard tn the room occu- pied by Jobnson and wife, and Johnson was found with a bullet hole in his heal and his skull broken, and his wife's head had been smashed to jelly with an axe. A letter was found on a table addressed to Lorenzo -lobason and signed by B. H. Johnson, in which he says he committed the deed, and had determined to ing Livingston, on his wife’s infidelity. The statement in the let- ter isnot believed, however, for the reason that Jobnson could not write, and it ixsuepected that Lorenzo is the murderer, though there is no positive evidence against him. Lorsnzo was subsequently arrested for horse stealing and taken to Richmond, where it was feared he would be lynched. "The verdict of the coro- ner’s jury, however, did not charge Lorenz with the murder, and the case is still invelred in ystery. ——— ee Charley Ross THE IDENTITY OF TEE UDELL noY.

Tae Paxwsvivania Coat Trape.—The coal trade continues, like almost all of the grea! interests of the country, much depremad. 1 deed, #0 far as production goes, no improvement ts anticipated until after the expiration of the present month. The combination of great pro- mpanies in daly last de- sdition of the coal market, that a shortening of the prodaction that month, fifty per cent, apd for the month of August # shortening of production and shipment of alike percentage, would furnish a supply of coal equal to the cewand. This decision was toapply to each of all the companies in the comvination, except such as might be short in their allotted proportion, which would of course have the right tomake vp such deticit if they so desired. The fifty per cent. reduction in July was made all around, and on Thuredsy of this week, in order to make the reduction and stupment for Angust ¢ ually complete, the carrying trade Will generally ccase tn all the authracite regions for the remainder of the mouth. In all this time there isan sbundance of coal at all the several shipping points, and at prices promulgated at the beginning ef the year. These having been engraited into @ system for the government of the coal trade will not be altered, but will rule to the end of the year as announced in the first months of the year. In the matter of the reduc- tion inpreduction tor the two months of Jaly and August, we understand the trade fe almost & unit, the individaal operators joining the com- bination companies in the conclusion that an over stock of coi at this juncture would result injurious!y to the producer now.
