MONEY PACKAGES FROM YELLOW FEVER “DistRIcTs.—AN money packages received at the Treasury department from yellow fever districts are, by direction of the Treasurer, disinfected by the use of carbolic acid. Many of the clerks made such a great outery about being compelled to count the packages that Treasurer Gilfillan inquired if there were any of them who were not afraid to count them. One of them, a lady, replied that she was not. Most of this money is now counted by ber. ‘Another lady counted a package from New Orleans before she was aware where it came from. Upon learning that it was a yellow fever package she was so overcome that she bas pot been able to do any work for three days.

Not Mvcn CounrERretr SILVER IN TOWN The chief of the secret service yesterday started one of his men around the city to as- certain the amount of counterfeit silver coin which has come into the hands of merchants. The officer spent the whole day at the work and visited a Jarge number of business houses. At the close he reported that he had found in his seargh only one counterfeit coin, a ten cent piece. The merchants said they had not been thered to any extent by counterfeit silver. The officer, as instructed, also asked those whom he visited to co-operate with the secret service in putting a ae to the introduction of the counterfeits, but all but one of them re- fused. They did not, they stated, desire to get ito any trouble. EDWARD OGDEN, superintendent of the U. S. custom house at Albany, N. ¥., has been suspended from duty by Acting Secretary of the Treasury Hawlev, and ordered to turn over the records of his office to the master me- chanic, who wiil for the present, a;sume charg? of the building and continue the work.

Tere Is NO Limit TO AMERICAN INVEN- TION.—A patent has been taken out for a pro- cess of treating eggs that have been preserved in solution, which will obviate their liability to burst ppon boiling. It consists in piercing a small hole in the ege-shell, over the air blis- ter, in such a way as not to pass through the cuticle enveloping the egg, which is next to the shell. Eggs packed in May and kept until the following winter, if well preserved, will by this treatment bring the same price as re- cently-laid eggs, because of their non-liabi'ity to burst the shell in boiling. THE PosTAL SERVICE OF THE ISLAND OF Cyprts having been placed under the au- thority of the post office department of Great Britain, the British post office has proposed to inistrations of the other coun- ‘eat postal union that the Island Il henceforth be classed as be- longing to the postal administration of Great Britain. As spas was formerly a part of Turkey, which @ member of the postal union, this change is merely formal, and wiil make no difference in the international postal rates of the Island. The proposition requires, however, a uDanimous vote to take effect. The United states will, of course. assent 0 this arrangement, and no country is likely to make any opposition, though some of them, which look on the acquisition of Cyprus as a “big steal,” would no doubt like to give an- noyance in this way, if it were possible to do it without appearing ridiculous.

Most of yesterday’s session of the Potter committee was taken up with Gen. Butler's examination of Major E. H. Burke, of Louis jana, endeavoring to bring out the fact of some specitic written agreement by which the count of the electoral votes was to be a'lowed to go on in consideration of the recognition of Nichols by Hayes when he should getin. The witness said that it was in substance stated to the filibusters that the sooner the count was permitted to peel the sooner the troops could be withdrawn and the necessary ar- rangement completed for the 4th of March. I believe the count would have been completed even if this arrangement had not been made, because members of Congress who favored the filibustering side did so on representation; from Louisiana that thereby we could get guarantees which would save our:tate govern- ment. Many of them showed letters aud tele- ‘ams from their constituents condemning jilatory action, and that delay in counting the yotes before March 4th would be_highly detri- mental to the country at las When closing day came we allagreed. I then telegraph Nieho!s that despite all our previous arrange- ments the count would have gone on. Q. What or who was the high authority that Satisfied you that unless ce were very much deceived your plans would be successful? A. Stanley Matthews was one. The witness said the guarantees and assur. ances to be given by Hayes were agreed upon at the democratic or Nicholls government on February 26th and 2ith, and afterwards en- dorsed by Sherman and Matthews on the part of Hayes. He denied that he ever told an: one that Mr. Hayes in person had authoriz guarantees or assurances, A LIVELY ALTERCATION BETWEEN GEN. BUT- LER AND MAJOR BURKE. At one stage of the proceedings Gen. Butler kept repeating over and over the same line of questions. Major Burke to'd him he would not ailow him to put words in his mouth. Butler intimated that his purpose was to arrive at the truthfulness of the witness statements. Mr. Hiscock here asked if he meant to ques- tion the witness’ truthfulness. _ Mr. Butler replied, hotly, he did. a fore sharply asked, ‘Oa what partic- ular, sir?” Mr. Butler answered, before you get through.” Mr. Buike, addressing Chairman Potter. aid, “X will answer no inore questions until sen. Butler withdraws the offensive remarks he has made.” c . The Chairman.—“ We cannot protect you in this.” . Witness.—‘‘ Then I shali protect myself.” After some altreation between Butler and Hiscock, Burke again addressed the chair- nan, saying that he was acting at Ayaatington asthe duly authorized agent of the Nicholls state government, by whom his conduct had been aj ee and to whom he alone was re- I will show you sponsible ; that he had come 1,400 miles to testi- fy frankly and fully to all questions put to him, out of deference to the House of Repre- sentatives and public opinion; but until Gen. Butler did both Major Burke and himself (Butler) justice in retracting the offensive Janguage used he declined to answer any questions that Gen. Butler should put to him. Mr. Stenger thought that, notwithstanding the insulting remarks of Gen. Butler, witness ought to answer all qvestions put to him, and added that he did not believe that Gen. Butler believed himself in the untruthfulness of the witness. : Major Burke—While I have great respect for the member who has spoken, 1 once more em- hatically state that so long as the remarks of sen. Butler stands I shall not answer another question. aS replied he had nothing to withdraw ere. Major Burke turned his back upon Butler, lighted a cigar, and, after a few minutes, let his seat and went into an adjoining room. This brought the proceedings toa dead-lock for some time. A numberof Major Burke's friends followed him into the ante-room, where they remained some time in conference. The expressions of the audience anda ma- jority of the committee werein favor of Major urke, and the stubbornness with which But- ler adhered to his assertion was: Sonera de nouuced. After about ten minutes Major Burke resumed his seat. General Butler then said he was satisfied to have ae remarks he made expunged from the record. Major Burke remarked he presumed that embraced a withdrawal of the offensive lan- guage, whereupon the original question wa: answered. CAPTURE OF ESCAPED PrIsO) Them Shot.—A dispatch to the Baltimore Sun from saeco Md., August 2lst, says: Sheriff Richard received a telegram this morning from Wm. Feigley stating that Syl vester and Albertus Peacher, who escaped from jail here about a month ago, had return- ed to the haunts near Harper's Ferry, on the Maryland side of the river. Accompanied by Constable Wasson, the sheriff went there and was joined by ues While lying in wait in the mountain the Peachers were seen by the sheriff to enter the house of their brother. The sheriff started for the door and Sylvester came out in the rear, when the sheriff calicd to him to halt. Sylvester drew a revolver, andas he was advancing on the sheriff the latter shot him witha double-barreled gun loaded with twelve buck shot. He turned and ran towards another house, and passing Feig- ley he also shot him. Sylvester ran on to the second house, where he was arrested in a gar- ret, still having the pistol drawn, but did not fire. Albertus was found under a bed in the firsthouse. After the arrests a brother-in-law attacked the sheriff, but was knocked down with the butt of the gun and quieted. The prisoners were brought here on the evenin; train, and Dr. N.B. Scott attended the wound- ed man. He found seventeen buck shot inthe fieshy partoi the leg in a space about six inches squar SCANDAL. THE | '—The quiet little village of Norah Springs, Iowa, is thrown into a state of excitement over a scandal in high life. Dr. S. R. Hewitt, a well-known physician, anda man of property, and Mrs. David Hess became so intimate as to excite gossip, and when Mrs. Hewitt remonstrated with her hus- band for his conduct, he soon, under pretense of going to start in business at Yankton, D. x. et fett home and went to Chicago, putting up at the Metropolitan Hotel. Mrs. Hess left home soon after. A detective was put on her track, and after a long chase found her at the same hotel with Dr. Hewitt. They were together nearly all the time. Saturday, when preparing to leave, they were arrested. Mrs. lewitt and her brother have arrived with the eee aTy papers to take them back to lowa. The husband of Mrs. Hess will prosecute the Doctor, and there will be lively times in Norah Springs when they return. HORRIBLE CHILD MURDER.—The residents of the village of Randallstown, about 10 miles from Baltimore, on the Liberty road, are exer- cised over a reported case of infanticide in in their usually quiet burgh. It appears that on Saturday last Annie Bryan, a gir) about 19 years of age, hitherto of good repute and the ward of a respectable farmer who lives near Randallstown, gave birth to a child. When the child was born she was alone and when the discovery was made the infant was a The circumstances connected with the discovery were le known to Justice Slade and a jury of inquest was summoned. Prior to the inquest an examination by a phy- sician revealed the fact that the throatof the infant was stuffed full of wheat bran. At the inquest this was testified to by the physician, and the jury by their foreman, John D. Sud- mab, rendered a verdict that the child had been suffocated with bran. Suspicion rests on the mother, and if the investigation now being made warrantsit, she will iE bly be arrested for the horrible crimé alt. Gazette, 22d. THE SutctpaL Manta IN NEW YoRK.—The suicide mania seems to have become epidemic in New York. There were no fewer than three Tuesday. No.1 was Wm.

No. 2 was that of a man about 35 years old, who is supposed to have flung himself before a passing train, as he was found dead and mangled on the track of the Harlem railroad at 105th street. The body has been identified as that of Francis Ambach, a tailor resale in that neighborhood. He had been melancholy for some time. No. 3 was a woman named Kate Reilly, aged 20, living at 147 Hudson street.

ANOTHER INDIAN OUTBREAK QUEEN CHRISTINA'S DEATH. THE POTTER COMMITTEE. TOUGH TALK BY KEARNEY THE POTTER INVESTIGATIO gust 2. sional committee resumed its session to-day. Major Burke took the stand, and was exam ined_by Mr. Potter. He said: In the election of 1876 the affairs of the state were inthe hands of the republican party. There was what pur- Ported to be a census made in 1875 by the state overnment, under the auspices of the repub- ican party. He could not, recollect the exact figures of that census, but it was MBC SOE: rect, and the legislature refused to base its apportionment on the census. It swelled the colored vote to fully 25,000. It wasa fraud. [Here he submitted a lot of statistics, showing the parishes in which the fraudulent census existed.] Throughout the whole parish of New Orleans the total fraudulent number added to the census numbered 25,300 persons. There were, for instance, 15 polling places in the third ward, and if certificates of registra- tion were issued, one man would vote in the whole 15 places; there being nothing to pre vent a man yoting in whichever polling place he pleased. The registrars were all repab- licans. We offered to prove frauds and to be accorded equal representation on board of registration, but we were laughed at. The census of parish of Orleans for 1875 show- ed a colored open of 57,647, and on that basis there ought_to have been a colored vote of 11, but in 1876 the registration of colored votes amounted to 24,300. We objected to this, but were again laughed at. The supervisor of registration was republican, and fixed matters ashe pleased. There were several thousand white votes thrown out, but colored ones were allowed to stand. There are 57 parishes and 800 polling places in Louisiana. Witness re- collected that there was but one instance in which aflidavits in regard to riots and tumuit the | came up in proper Siiape, as required by law, | and this was protest republicans from the parish of Concordia. The returning board took no notice of it, and counted the whole vote of the pariah for the republicans. The charge was that a prominent republican can- Sidaie was found with his hand in one of the ballot boxes, and then some trouble followed. Here witness gave a long description of the mode of collecting returns, and ascertaining of full returns. The returns that witness got in before republicans ascertained their full vote, indicated a nia lonity, for Nicholls over Packard by nearly nine thousand, and for the Tilden eleetors over the Hayes elect- ors, a majority of some 7,000 to 8,000. The democratic party, he said, gained the sup- pon. of many colored republicans through arbecues, persuasions and other methods. ‘nusual pains were taken by democrats to prevent intimidation. Intimidation of voters all came from the republican side. —<—$—<————— CHARLES W. ANGELL’S CRIME. Pullman Says it is RobUery, Not « K erate “ly en HICAGO, August 22.—It having nm pub. lished in Boston and other eastern Teepe, rs that later developments increased the loss to the Palace Car company through Chas. W. Angell, the missing secretary, inquiry has been made of Mr. Geo. M. Pullman, which proves such statements to be incorrect. Mr. ‘ulJman has made to the Hon. Frederick Bil- lings, a stockholder of Woodstock. Vt., the fol- lowing statement: “There are no indications of any loss in excess of my statement to the press, and that amount is now reduced over $5,000 by the return of money which he had ives to his father-in-law and brother. All ooks and accounts, including my own per- sonal matters in his charge, appear perfectly correct, Itisa case of robbery, not defalea- tion. The most of the amount, say 900,00), was taken after my departure for Europe, and he has probably at least that amount with him now. The balance, say $3),(90 of our bonds. appear to have been taken from the vault here since April. If our efforts to ap- pretend him prove successful, 1 have faith hat we will recover a large portion of the amount taken. There 1s no truth in the rumor that Mr. ee was ever a defaulter to the company before.” ANOTHER INDIAN OUTBREAK. Eight Hundred Young Bucks Gone North. YangTon, D. T., August 21—H. C.

Two Indians had been killed when the runner left. He also reported that about 800 young Indians had left the main body and were traveling north Major Pollock hastened to the scene of trouble, but the Indians indignantly refused to receive any counsel from him, and plainly told him to let them alone. The cause of the trouble was not given, but it may have grown out of dif. ference of opinion existing among the Indians in regard tothe move. A large number were in favor of remaining on the river, but through the efforts of the chiefs were compelled to sub- mit to the decision of the minority. This, together with trouble about rations, is sup: posed to have been the cause of the outbreak. THE SOUTHERN PLAGUE. Deaths in New Orleans.

Lonpon, August 22—The Manchester Guar- dian, in its commercial article, says the mar- ket does not improve in any respect. A cer. tain amount of business is doing but orders are small, and the descriptions in demand are mostly such as are required for small foreign markets or home assortments. A large busi- hess in staple goods can only be had at prices considerably below those now current, and they are already so unremunerative that the stoppage of machmery is daily increasing.

The action of his’ bondsmen gives color to the statement. It is stated that he had not paid the hands employed by him for the state in some time, and just before his de- [eyinee d he borrowed asmuch ready money as ie could obtain. As his business reputation has always been good, this was easily done. He procured #20 ‘of one man, and various smaller sums of others, besides ‘leaving quite a number of small accounts uusettled. He has been a hard and steady worker, and so far no fault has been found with the manner in which he disc! his duties. He was fond of ex. citeme iowever, and often oe in pampling.
