Tae Sarze Burerary InvesticaTion.— Last evening the city was fall of rumors tothe effect that the grand jury had agreed upon sev- eral indictments of the parties alleged to be concerned in the safe burglary case, and some pretended to know the names of the persons in- Sicted. The reports were all incorrect or pre- mature, the only foundation for them being that Michael Hayes and other parties were before thet body yesterday—Mr. Somerville, a New York lawyer, among the number. It 1s believed that Hayes mae a fall and complet: statement of his connection with the affair, giving Dames and dates, which, with the cor- roborating statements of other parties, made the transaction comparatively clear. It is stated that Somerville claimed his privilege as a mem- ber of the bar, and what liitle evidence he gave not throw much light on the transaction. ‘o Cay Mr. Ivey, ot the Bank of Washington, was recalled, as also Detective Downs, who is here with Dorsey, of Baltimore. The grand jury concluded the testimony to- day, the !ast ‘witness being Detective Ularvos. It was expected that Hayes would to-day have been released on bail, which was fixed at $1,000, bat the arrangements could not be completed to-day. THE BAXK NOTE CoMPANIES continue to make a vigorous fight against the Printing Ba reau of the Tressury department. Their las movement is to obtain the stamp printing. If they succeed in this, 360 employes of the Print- ing Bureau will have to be discharged for want ot work. Most of these employes are ladies, without any other means of supports than that esrned from the government, and to discharge them will render them almost destitute. Many of them are widows of deceased soldiers, with children dependent upon them for support. Others are young ladies, children of deceased soldiers, baring, in some semeeenones So eaepene an aged mother, and perhaps sister or brother. Many of these ladies have come from a distance to accept employment under government, ip hopes of its being permanent. It is the fanitof Congress that the laws relating to the printing of United States currency stamps is drawn 80 loosely as to allow a controversy as to by whom the work shall be done. Every victory gained by thebank note companies over the Printing Bureau causes a fresh discharge of employes from that bureau, and consequently adds great- iv to the misery of this class in Washingt on.— Wash.

EXCITING TIME IN THE TREASURY A Secret Service Clerk in Trouble. e is “Interviewed” by the Mother of the Girt Ne is Having Since the day Mary Harris shot her alleged seducer, Burrows, in the corrifor of the Treas ury department building, no event has happened to create an excitement equal to that which took place almost in the same passage to-day. About noon @ middle-aged Indy approached the main entrance; it was noticed by Mr. Ba- ker, the watchman, that she appeared some what nervous, but he paid no particular atten- tion to it at the time. Upon entering the baili- ing she turned to the left and proceeded at once half way down the darkened corridor until she reached the rooma occupied by the secret ser vice force of Treasury Detectives. Here sbe balted and requested that Mr. Thomas Shaler, aclerk doing duty in that bureau, be notified that a lady awaited him in the hall. Little thinking what awaited him he appeared on the scene with abenignant smile, which was quick ly dispelled, however, upon his recognizing his visitor. As soon as he made his appearance the woman drew from the folds of her dress a cow- bide and struck him two vigorous blows over the body with it, at the same time exclaiming at the top of her voice, “You villian, you have RUINED MY DAUGHTER. I have lost all I have. You have ruined my Caughter, and I must have vengeance.” After striking him two blows, Shaler managed to be- come possessed of the cowhide, and taking it with him retreated to his room. In the meantime the excitement attend int upon such an episode bad drawn into the passages a large number of the employes. The iemales dropped their money packages and the males their pens to listen to the indignant mo- ther vent @ paroxysm of grief and rage. While the passage was thus filled she denounced Shaler 8s a seducer, stated that she had been a le to sleep for ten nights since learning of ber daughter's ruin; that she had DETERMINED TO BE REVENGED, and had sought this means to partly assauge the wrong caused by the disgrace brought upon her family. She continued in this strain for som* time, and it was with difficulty the watchmen could induce her to leave the building. The lady who thu’ sought redress is the wife of Lieut. Skippon, of the Metropolitan = lice force. Her daughter, she says, was in- dulged by both herself and father, and received from them the benefits of not only a liberal ed- ucation, but many accomplishments. She as- serts that Shaler, against ber will has beer keeping company with her daughter, and final- ly she yielded to his desires and became a vic- tim of bis lust. The unfortunate girl is said to be young and handsome. A little before one o'clock Shaler left the Treasnry building, and his version of the affair could not be obtained. His friends, however, allege that he has given them to understand that it le a blackmailing affair. At two o'clock everything in the Treasury building had re- sumed its usual dog-day dullness, save that the incident was the topic of discussion in almost every room. Mrs. Skippon’s Statement. The statement of Mrs. Skippon is, that she rented a house on 14th street for the purpose of letting rooms to members of Congress and oth- ers, and for that purpose hired a woman named Amanda Scott to take charge of her rooms,who proved, ag she states, to be a notonous pre- cures#, and took advantage of her daugh- ter, selling her out to Shaler. Dire, Skippon at this time resided in her house ov 10th street, and she states thaton the 26th «lay of December last Mrs. Scott sent word that she was very sick at the honse on lith street, and desired that Marion Boucher, daughter of Mrs. 8. by her former husband, be sent up to stay with ber. Miss Marion is about 18 vears of age, PRETTY AND ACCUMPLISHED, having been etucated in the best Catholic schools. Murr. Sk ppon finding it impossible to go herself, sent Marion, as desired. Mra. Scott bad her reviously arranged with Shaler to meet jaughter there, and her RUIN WAS THEN ACCOMPLISHED. Mrs. Skippon says that since that time Mrs. Scott has pursuaded her danghter to meet sev- eral other men at assignation houses. All this bes been carried en without her knowledge, and finding something was wrong with Marion (that she Was inthe family way), about three weeks since she charged her with wrong doing, and dnding that an exposure mast come Marton made a full confession ot her connection with S She alleged that Mrs. Scott had been her ruin, and since its accomplishment had introduced her to a house of assignation on New Jer- sey avenue, where she met various parties. Mrs. Skippon a) that on Friday last she visited Mrs. Scott at her house and charged her with what has been stated and gaye her a cowhiding then, and there driving her out into the street, and pursued her toa house in the west end of the city, where she commenced the attack the sac- ond time, when Mrs. Scott escaped and ran down towards the Treasury department, where she lost Sight of her. SHALER’S COW-HIDING, NO. I. On Sunday evening last Mr. Shaler visited her daugher, she says at the housc on lith street, and while in a room in the second story she overheard a portionof the conversation between them, and among other things he refused to marry her, aua char; that there was a ut up job by her mother to blackmail im, whereupon sbe sprang in upon him with @ cowhide ny ve him @ dreas- ing down, making him leave in @ hurry. Before leaving Shaler declared that he wonid have married her daughter had she been true to him, and would have mn proud ot her as his wife, but that knowing what he did be would not do it, and she was at liberty to shoot him thon if she desired to. Finding her daughter tobe in a delicate situa tion, she made arrangements to baye her sent to the House of the Good Shepherd in Baltimore, and by the assistance of Detective McDevitt was to bave taken her away this week before the arrival of her husband, Lt. Skippon,who ison a trip at Blackiston’s Island, but by the connivance, she says, of Shaler and Mrs. Scott, her daughter was made aware of the plans, and they were thereby bafiled, the daughter refusing to go. Mawacees Have Rients Warca Actors 48 Bound To Resrxot.—in New York yes- terday the suit of Augustin Daly, the mana, of the Firth Avenue Theater, to obtain an in- junction against Miss Fanny Morant to restrain her from er at the Union Square Thea- ter, was concluded by ax order of the court C= 4 permanent injunction. Migs Morant ad contracted ber services to Mr. Daly for one year, a condition being that she was not to ap pear at any other theater in the city. The in- junction was granted on the ground that mana- po having & wy 4 capi invested in the usiness, must not be at the mercy of perform- ers, but the latter must be held to contracts like other people. MzN AND Money tw Cvna.—Captain General Concha, of Cuba, has ordered out immediately for active service five per cent. of all the volan- teers enrolled on the Island of Cuba te serve until April 1, 1875. This will bring out about 3,500 men. Exemptions | Chesa ¢ and Ohio Canal. REPORT OF PRESIDENT GORMAN. The board of directors of the Chesapeake and Obio canal met at Annapolis yesterday, and the president submitted the following report : “The coal ton: and revenue of the coms pany for the month of August was:—Number of tors shipped from Oumberland, 106,474, which is an increase as compared with 1 f 2 tons, and an increase over 1873 of viz:—Coal tonnage, August, 1; 4 August, 1873, 48,505 tons; i }, 106,874 tous. The revenne that baz accrued to your treasury from all sources during the month was $63,929.85, which shows an increase pared with corresponding period of 1872 extraordinary expenses for operating the ca: for the past month were 817,867.43, which shows the net revenue to be £46,062 42."" Notwithstanding the very favorable results of the operations of the company for the pas: montb, its tonnage and revenue have been very seriously diminished bya strike among the boat men which occurred on the 25th, but for which the tonnage and revenue uid have exceeded any previous month in the history of the canal. From the Ist to the 25th the average shipmants were 4,925 tops per day; from the 26th tothe 31st the average shipmenta per day were only 1,394 tons, show!ng the loss of tonnage atuributable to the strike to be 21,156 tons, ‘Ihe trequent recurrence of these strikes not only reduces the revenues of this company, but I fear will compel some of the coal companies to withdraw their trade from the canal unless some measures are taken to prevent in the fa- ture these frequent interruptions. I fully ap- preciate the difficulties in adjasting a case of this kind, but I am confident that the main cause can'be removed by the thorough cospera- tion of the coal companies and this company. 1 therefore respectfully recommend that a com- mittee of this board be appointed to confer with the various coal companies, and to report at an early day. I submit, however, various commu- nications.”’ The recommendation of the president to ap. point a committee to confer with the coal com- panies was approved, and he appointed Messrs. Bannon, Biser and Watkins as the committee. Hon. William Walsh and General Thomas J. McKaig appeared before the board and pre- sented several petitions requesting the reduc- tion of tolls five cents a ton on cos!, and the en- tire abolition of the toll now charged upon de- eens boats, amounting to $4.08 on each vat. The committee appointed by the president on the subject of the strikes will report to the | board on Thursday, 17th inst.,in Baltimore, to which date and place the board adjourned.’ [t is stated that the action of the president and directors of the canal company looks to the pro- tection of all the parties engaged in the trade on the canal, by breaking up the middle mon, who are understood to be drawing a large por- tion of the proilts which properly belong to the men. HorRisLe Murper 1n CaLcurra.—A most atrocious murder has been committed in Cal- cutta. In April last a goldsmith, both by caste and trade, living in Amherst street, gave his daughter, agirl about nine years old, in mar- ria She remained at her father-in-law’s till a short timeago, when she returned to her own father’s house. The wife of an opposite neigh- bor, who is also a goldsmith by trade, asked the girl to come over and show her wedding jewels, The two families were on friendly terms, and the girl, with ber mother’s permission, decked herself with the jewels, said to be worth many hundred, or, ae some assert, a thousand rupees, and went over, with female pride, to exhibit to her friends her nuptial presents. She had not deen there long, however, when she was setzed, her threat cut, and her body, being stripped of all the valuables, was buried, in a standing pos- ture, in @ workshop of the house, the inmates of which consist of the owner, his wife, and two workmen. When the police,on getting infor- mation of the murder, went to the house and qnestioned these persons, they one aud all de- clared that the murdered child had never come tothe honse, and in this statement they reso- lutely persisted till the body was exhumed. YELLOW FrvER aND EL¥orRiciry. respondent writing from Fayette, Mi to the Scientific American, gives a curioas s: cession of observed facts, which may lead to a c'earer understanding of the conditions under which yellow fever is generated, an quence, to new methous of preventing or curing the disease. He says that prior tothe breaking out of the tever and during the prevalence of the epidemic, the rains are not accompanied by lightning and thunder, which in other seasons are common. There was only one peal of thun- der heard in this county between the middle of September and the latter part of October. In 1555 at @ school celebration, a sufficient amount of electricity could not be generated to perform the simplest experiment with the electrical ap- raratus, and shortly thereafter the yellow fever broke out and raged rapidly. The writer draws the conclusions trom these facts, that the preva- lence of yellow fever is dependent upon the elac- trical condition of the atmosphere, and suggests that science may be made to supply the neces- sary conditions to public health. ANOTHER OUTRAGE Uron A MARYLAND GimL.—The Maryland (Charles county) [nde- pendent says:—‘ On Sunday morning last, a little after sunrise, Martha Kelly, a servant girl in the employ of Col. Samuel Cox, whilst inthe act of milking the cows in a cowpen some dis- tance from the house, was attacked by a colored man and her person violated before assistance could reach her. He had taken the precaution to disguise himself by powdering his e and wrapping his otherwise nude body in @ horse- blanket which he had taken from the Colonel's carriage house. The scoundrel! was hotly pur- sued until late intheday by both white aud colored, but without success. Joe Dorsey, sup- posed by some to be the outlaw George Dorsey, lived with Col. Cox the firstof the present year, aud it may be that he has returned to the neigh- borhood. It is to be earnestly hoped that this miserable wretch may soon be in the hands of the law, and as speedily awarded the deserts of his terrible crime.”’ ARREST OF PARTICIPANTS IN THE TRENTON ArPratR.—A special to the Memphis Avalanche from Humboldt, Wednesday night, says Lieut. Whitall, with a squad of soldiers from the bar- racks there, proceeded to Pickettaville Wednes- day night. under instructions of United States Marshal Torbitt, and arrested five men for com- plicity in the Trenton affair. They were brought to Humboldt yesterday and put under guard at the barracks. Two of the parties for whom warrants had been issued came in yesterday and gaye themselves up, making seven under arrest. They will be taken to Memphis ufider guard. Efforts were made to take some of the parties under writ of Aabeas corpus, but the judge said he bad no jurisdiction. It ia said warrants are out for at least one hundred msn on suspicion, but this is only a rumor. The rand jury is pow in session at Trenton, and from the number of persons summoned before them it is presumed they are determined to fer- ret out the parties implicated in this affair. A Cxitp MURDERED og AnpvUcTED.—A child has disappeared in Greenpoint, New York, under the circumstances more mysterious and spalling than even tuose surrounding the Charlie Roes case. A child, only three months old, of @ wealthy tobacconist named Jacob Ho- gar, was trusted to the care of « nurse, who was dismissed last Tuesday, but who stil! linger- ed about the bouse for an airtng. On Wednes- pon Nees she returned without the child, but with her arms covered with blood, and could at the time give no accountof herself. She was arrested, and has since told @ tale of having been lor pongo gpl blindfolded by two men,who a as com: | of $5,111.32; do. of 1873 of $35,751.04.

A SWINDLer IN Rumat Early in the summer a wealthy tnvalid niece of Washington Irving going to Schoharie met on the journey an interesting young man, who with pleasure and surprise ered that he was her cousin, since he was a nephew of the great author. The newly found relatives, great. ty pleased with each other, together went on to Schoharie, where, stopping at the best hotel. and oe out in the most stylish of toilets and turnouts, they soon made themselves a reputa- tion and a name. He especially, for while a niece of Irving was well enough to know, immeasara- bly better was a nephew. young, handsome and highly eligible, as every one allowed he was. As the weeks by. at lawn parties and germans he shone the bright particular star, and never was ho more conspicuons than at the masquerade party where one lady fair placed on bis finger her ring.a diamond as clear as her ansophisticated innocence, thst she might know him in spite of hisdomino. Bat dominoed she felt, when a few days later young Irving had departed, together with the ring and her watch she had sent by him to be oe and namer- ous valuable souvenirs of others who had loved not wisely but too well, leaving behind him only the greatest porsible quantity of debts. He was torn from the lap of luxury at Saratoga, and brought back, when investigation revealed that his name was Cobern and his family and finances non est; so now the town authorities are rather wondering what they shall do with him, taking to themsclves immense credit meanwhile in being able to keep such a rascal locked up.— Worcrster Spy. DistRtcrs.— SrgakeR Barney at the recent commenc>- ment at Colby University, Maine, which bas received during the last few years sach princely Denefactions, said that Colby stands at the head or the colleges, while others sre pretty much given up to boobies and rich men's song, At arvard or Yale astudent’s aungal expenses are $1000 or $1200. At the college in Peonsyl- yauia where the speaker graduated he paid less than $800 for his four years’ course. Henry Winter Davis, the most accomplished parlia- mentary orator of the century, paid less than S83 per year college. during his course in a Western Mr. Blaine believed in fitting achovls able to the college, from the gregarious tendency of classes. He wanted to send bis boys here, but they had got into fitting schools wh classes went elsewhere, an felt constrained to yield to their intense feeli r4 on the subject of going with their classmates. Colby is clearly the first college of Maine. Ho wasglad to see that the stndents were not dawdling away a large part of their time in solving the problem whether they should row more or less than thirty-eight strokes to the minutes.

Tue action 1s reversible, the application of the brake power in every respect satisfactory, and the working of the whole thing is pronounced a success. ——_____ A Younc Lapy TEaAcneR MURDERED.—A few days - & very quiet, modest young girl, with an eighth, or some such imperceptibie mixture, of celored blood in her veins, went into Trousdale county, Tennessee, to teach a negro school.

THE SCANGAL AGAIN. MOULTON’S STATEMENT Letters and Notes-More Damaging De t Beecher—Gen. with the Bat- ter. New York, September lith._The Sua this morning says that Moulton’s statement ts to be printed this afternoon with fac similes of letters said to have been written to him from Beecter, Mrs. Morse and other ogee The document Will be long. One of the letters of those to be ripted is a note enclosing a check and direct- ng Moulton to use it at his discretion. Another is a triendly note, making an appointment. In it Beecher sends his love to Mrs. Emma Moul- ton, and writes how DREADFULLY NEAR THE POINT she speaks sometimes. One letter from Mrs. Morse is to be duced, tn which she addresses Beecher as “My dear son,” avd asks him to keep her pay, her rent, and provide for himself through the winter. She refers to his (Beech er’s) secret, and says that only six persons ku: it. ‘She writes of Elizabeth's home troub! and thanks Beecher for the deep consolation affords her daughter. The letter closes, “De you know I think it very strange that you should ask me to call you myson’” A letter dated July 28th, 1574, is to be produced, and by it Moulton intends to show that up to that date Beecher had not felt harsh toward him, even though he had paid $7,000 black: i. The let- ter gins “My Dear Frank,” and closes, “Yours, gratefully, H. W. B. WHAT MOULTON SHOWS. The Herald, in a summary of the statement, fays Moulton will show: Fitet. That he did render efficient counsel and aid to Beecher after the publication of Bacon's letter, and aver tn this respect wiifal falsehood. Second. He was not a blackmailer, and that Beecher was not a blackmailer in that be availed himself of the power which Tilton had over Bowen to extort, through Claflin, from Bowen a certificate of character. Tbird. That the devices to which he resorted were Beecher's own suggestions, and made in an effort to help and s secher Fourth. He gives specitically in words the jae tification which Mr. Beecher gave to him for his adult withjMrs. Tilton, viz, thie: that “This physical expression of love was ax muta: as the words of endearment he used toward her. This Moulton says was the first enanciation of | the doctrine of free love that he had ever heard, and it therefore became impressed deep!y on his memory. THE CHARGE OF RAPE AGAINST BRECHER. Fifth. Moulton says that when he read to Beecher from the letter of Tilton to Bowen the charge of rape made by Bowen that Beecher deemed it necessary to tell him the trath with reference to the women who were mentioned by Bowen, Beecher saying *‘! did’nt commit a rape. It is true that 1 had intercourse with the woman.” Mouiton said, “If your are on friendly terms you had better have a retraction else you may be at Bowens mercy.” Beecher did go and obtain the best retraction he could which appears in the statement. THE RPPORTS OF GEN. BUTLER have been toward the safety of Beecher in order to save him in the courts trom tue shame that would ensue from the publication of the whole truth. . Butler from the beginning seemed to regard the downfall of Beecher as a national calamity. He was consulted first through the suggestions of Beecher by Beeche: counsel, and as it will appear from Moulton’s statement has never appeared in New York on this question except at the suggestion of Beecher's counsel. Summary of the Statement. New York, September 11.—Moulton’s state- ment excuses its appearance by saying that the hope he had en ertained that Beecher would do him justice has failed, and he and his friends think the question of veracity raised by Mr. Beecher ought to be set tled. Hence he presents this comparison of his previous g!ving* out with Mr. Beecber’s defence. The substantial points relate to Mr Moulton’s vindication of his efforts as @ peace maker vetween the several parties to the scandal Secondly, to various questions of veracity bs cween Mr. Be e and himself. Thirdly, tt tion of the famons letter of apology.’ Fourthly, Beecher’s confessions in re- gard to criminal charges. Fitthly, answers to va rious personal charges against Moulton, evolved in Mr. Beecher’s statement. Sixthly, presents. tion of the whole matter of alleged blackmail- ing. Seventhly, an episode from the Bowen hiffeulty, and finally numerous incidental m4:- vers, Nebraska Democratic Conventio: NOMINATIONS A¥D PLATPORM Omaua, September 11.—The democratic state convention at Lincoln yeeterday was the largest ‘lemocratic convention ever held in the state.
