'‘RIPLE SHEET. 4 FLEETWOOD PARK. Opening Day of the September Trotting Meeting. Excellent Attendance to Witness the 2:40 Contest—New Berlin Girl the Winner in Three Straight Heats, ‘The opening day of the September trotting meet- ing at Ficetwood Park was very successful in the matter of attendance and the characier of the | amusement offered. No pleasanter locality could | have been selected for & trotting park than this, and | the management may well be congratulated upon having uchieved @ triumph iu the production in 50 short a time of @ track and surroundings no less creditable to themselves than the country at large. ‘The grounds of the association are superb, the club- house of extraordinary Gtness ior such a building, the members’ stabics unique and comfortable, and the stand capable of seaiing 5,000 persons, grand in its proportious and of the most cheerful character. The weather was delightful and exceedingly favorable for the sport, The golden glory of the sunny autumn day was in itself almost enough to woo the turiites and thelr families from the city, but when the attraciion of such a fleld of horses as the opening race presented was added it did not require much urging to bring tem to the grounds 1n large numbers. Barly in the day the carriages began to whirl through the Park and along Central avenue to the scene of interest, and long be.ore noon’ the sheds ‘and stalls were occupied with the equipages of Gotham’s aristocracy and amusement-loving repre- sentatives, The scene from the grand stand, which which is such a marvel of beauty and neatness, pre- sented a striking picture. At the left was the club house, with its earnest-talking throngs. On the right, the large and convenient sheds, where the horses prepare for the contests, while tn front and on either hand there lay stretched ont a mar- vellous landscape of elm iorests, ills and snmuiing fields and the pretiy town of Morrisauia in the dis- tance, with its exquisite villas, bright country seats and glittering church steeples, making up a picture of gorgeous interest. The gay colors of the ladies ‘on tide portion of the stand set apart for them was @ radiant iramework to Uus animated scene, wortly of @ longer visit than Fieetwood trom the cily entaus. ‘The event for the day was a purse of $1,000, for horses that lave never beaten 2:40; $600 to Urst, $800 Co second and $10y to the third horse. For dhs race were (Welve entre A. H. puinuels? chestaut mare Bashaw Maid, Ale: rSOn'S mare Lady Hughes, S. D. Bruce's bay mare Enigma, W.

The periect good order and decorum that ait all tf nes ob- served were the subjects of universal commeni. While this action af the assoctaion will comiueud itself to every true turtite in the country, the deci- sive measures of the judges on the stand will altke be the cause of rejoicing. Ficetwood began its career with adetermination that no dishonest practices should be tolerated on tis grounds, whlch had a marked effect. at first on ail the sharpers, Yesterday, im continuance of uils avowed and correct priucipie, ore ol the drivers in the race was fined for disovedieace of orders. A. fl. Sam- mis, the driver of the chestnut mare Bashaw Maid, isied, alter Irequent sntumations by the bell and sonaily rom the judges to take his place and come for the word With the other liorses, in not obeying theul, and drove his mare up and down the track to such an extent that tt Was iustrumentai in greatly delaying the race. So palpable was nis action that he was called to the stand and fined twenty-tive dollars, which, of course, must be prompuly paid by him or the consequences will be disastrous to Mis future career on the turf. ‘This action of the Judges Was universally applanded by the spectators, wuo congracul the sport would be so govern satisfaction. Another action of a like soon followed, but in tis instance the horse was punisied’ instead of the driver. When the horses were called for the word in the second heat, Jolin Murphy, the driver of the brown gelding James H. Coleman, the judges ‘nought did not pay the attention (o nis business that they deemed necessary, and as he did not show a disposition to bring his horse to the score the word | was given without him, and, as a consequence, Coleman was distanced. ‘This was very unforcunate for the horse, which is a vitluapte one, and tor his owner, neither of whom is to blame. The action ol the juages would have been more satisfac- tory if instead of punishing the norse the negligence of his driver should have een made an example of, to deter all jockeys similarly inclined from domg likewise.” The result of these proceedings will un- doubtedly have @ good effect in the 1uture, and teach drivers that no trifling will be allowed on the track at Fleetwood. The track was in very fine condition; hardly a pebble marred its surface. It was a splendid sight to watch the pageants of fashion irom the smooth quarter stretch, while the murmur of many voices and the fragrance of innumerabie periuines floated away from ihe beauties on the crest of the hill above, Wao noted every movement of the exercising horses elow.

Boston, Sept. 20, 1870. in every particular, except as regards attendance, fe opening of the fall meeting at Beacon Park to- day was @ success. The wind was propitious, and the track, although judges might call it a bit too soft, was nevertheless in a condition calculated to bring out the strongest points of the animals which were to be exhibited. Nor was the attendance, after all, a matter so thoroughly to be despised. Perhaps there were fifteen hundred people present, not plentifully be- sprinkled with ladies, it is true, but s.ill of genteel character. No exhibitions of the ht- te joker were permitted upon the grounds, and although hquors were sold freely—which, by the way, is not so very unusual in puritanical Massa- chusetts—the consumers thereof seemed to deport themselves in @ modest and unannoying manner. But little bravado was to be noticed in any quarter. There were two races to-day, the first being for horses that had never beaten three minutes, fora purse of $500; $300 to the first horse, $150 to the second aud $50 to the third, The following are the entries and the order of their positions as they came to the score:—Harry Bradley names r. g. Andy Johnson, George H. Moore names s. g. Starlight, Michael Oarroli names 8. g. Daylight, Jack Bower names b. g. Billy Butler, Dan BrockNer names b. g. Shawmut, Isaac Copp names s.m. Lady Alice, H. Woodruff names ch. m. Gipsey, John Taylor names b. g. Ferry, Henshaw and Dan Mace pame bik. g. Contraband. In the first heat Harry Bradley started off a length in advance ou receiving the word, and kept increasing his distance until he passed the stand two lengths ahead of bis competi- tors. Lady Alice was second, Contraband third, ‘y Henshaw fourth, Billy Butler fifth, Gipsey sixth, Starlight seventh and Shawmut eighth. Day- light was declared distanced. Time, 2: Second Heat.—Andy Johnson and Shawmut led the others at the start by two lengths, but first Dan Mace and then Woodraff overhauled and ‘eee them, the latter coming one neck ahead, Contra- band second, Li Alice third, Andy Johnson fourth, Billy Butler fifth, Shawmut sixth, Ferry ae seventh and Starlight distanced. Time, Third Heat.—Mr. Carroll took Bockler’s place behind Shawmut. Lady Alice broke out from the bunch, closely pursued by Contraband and by Woodruff. ‘or @ while the two first horses were neck and neck, but Lady Alice went off her feet on the homestretch, and Mace became the winner, Lady Alice second, Gipsey third, Andy Johnson fourth, Shawmut fifth, Ferry Hen- staw sixth, and Billy Butler distanced, Time, 2:37. ea Henshaw was then drawn by consent of the judges. Fourth Heat,—After a great many futile attempts to score, the horses were started from a line for the fourth heat, which was won by Contraband after @ struggle, Lady Alice second, Andy Johnson third, ipecy fourth and Shawmut fifth. Time, 2:39. Fin —Mace also won the fifth neat and race, the other horses breaking 80 badly that, although he came in second, he was [es the heat. Andy Jonn- son was placed second, Shawmet third, Lady Alice fourth and Gipsey fifth. Time, 2:39, The mext event on the programme was a, contest, between paras that had never beaten 2:34, for a pursé of $1,000—first horse $600, second horse $3 third horse $100. For this race there were seven entries, but only six appeared on the ground, They drew positions as follows:—W,. H. Woodrnif names ch. g. Prince, Dan Bigley names ch. i. Fannie, B. Doble names bd. m. Elwood, Dan Mace names b. m. Le Blonde, no. L. Doty names ». m. Sallie aud E. White names | ch. m. Fanny Fern. First Heat.—Prince kept the pole till nearly the quarter, when Le Bionde went by, Fanny next and Fauny Fern, how- under the wire next to Mace, Sallie third, Prince fourth, Farmer fifth and Ellwood distanced. Both Fanny and Prince broke badly in this heat. Time, Second Heat.—The contest in this heat seemed at the start as if it were to be between Woodruff and White, who trotted close together to the half-mile pole, the others trailing aloeg — behind. All the horses were bundled together the third quarter. Dan Mace was tired of his company though, and soon verged ahead, keeping the advance as he passed under the wire. Next followed Prince, Fanny Fern, Fannie and Sallie in order as named. Time, 2:343¢. Third Heat—The Blonde stock then sold at fifteen to ten against the field, but in the third heat the mare broke badly and came in fourth, giving Fanny Fern the first place, Fannie second and Salhe third, having Prince only behind her. Time, 2:36. Fourth Heat.—The hour was then so late that the gathering darkness caused a great many to leave the field. It was desired, however, that one more heat should be trotted in hopes to finish the race, and the horses were therefore called up for the fourth heat. Patrol judges were sent out and the horses started orf, Little waa seen of them from the quar- ter pole until they entered the homestretch, when Fannte was discovered to be in the le: She broke so badly as she came down, however, that the judges awarded the heat and race to Le Blonde, Fannie second, Fanny Fern third, Salile fourth and Prince last.

SUFFERING CONSUMER. FISKIANA FISTICUFFS. Collision at the Grand Opera House—A Heavy Fist Performance at the “Petite Faust” Behearsal—Ihe Prince and the Im- presario in Deadly Conflict—The Crown Prince Triumphant. At the Grand Opera House yesterday morning was performed a melodramatic farce which was not mentioned in the bill. The principal parts were filled by the “heavy men’? of the company and the minor parts by the full strength of the combination. It appears that owe Max Maretzek had been engaged by Prince Fisk to go to Europe and there-secure ‘company whose talents would be made available in drawing vo the Grand Opera House crowds enough to fill the place and money enough to tli the pockets of the multifarious manager. It further appears that Mr. Max had USED UP A GREAT DRAL OF MONEY, but he had secured @ frst class company, one which was sure to be sugcesaful; one combining beauty, talent, vivacity and “ali that sort of thing,” and, therefore, his shortcomings, or heavy drawings, ward dvorlo ‘rhe company came here and went to work at once preparing for the opening on Monday night next. The men ana women were loud in their praises of the Opera House, They had never seen anything so grand, They were . : DUMB WITH ASTONISHMENT and admiration; knew they could sing woll in such @ glorious temple. Monsieur Fisk was praised to the skies, New York was declared to be the elysium of singers and the Grand Opera House a most fitting Mecca, All went on smoothly until a few days since, when It appeared that MAX HAD ANOTHER STRING TO HIS FIDDLE. He was announced as the chosen leader of the orchestra of the Nilason concerts. Prince Erie saw the announcement. He felt»annoyed. Here was a man, he sald, whom he had actually picked out of “the slough or despond,” and was holding him go that he could get firmly on his feet, He sent for Max, Max came. “Max, how is this?’ he broke out. “I sent you to Europe to get up & company for me, and to act as leader. You got thecompany; all right. Now I want you to understand you are under engagement to me, and yet I see you announced to act as airec- tor at Nilsson’s concerts. Mr, Cole has a letter for you down stairs, you had betver read it, Max.” “Ob | Monsieur Feesk—ob !|—— 2 “That will do, Max. You're a devilish clever fel- low, [know; but the trouble with you ts you can’t be honest.” “On | Monsteur Feesk, really’) —— “Never mind that now. You'd better go and see that letter Cole has got.’ ‘The letter referred to was merely a notification for Max’s benefit, that if he did appear as jeader for Nilgson’s orchestra it would be regarded as equiva- lent to resignation as manager of the Opéra Bouffe Company. Nothing more was said, and it was supposed that Max had taken the hint and had severed his connection with Nilsson’s troupe. He may have imagined that the Prince could not not do without bim, as he owed the Prince so much money since the “Lurline” failure and other projects. He had Feokone) Tritnout hig host, From the first the Prince had half suspected : MAX WAS RATHER DUBIOUS, R and that he had better provide against any trick thé great impressario might fee: disposed to try on him. Accordingly an engagement was made with Carlo Pattl “io act as manager if needed.” This point was covered and all was well. Monday night came. ‘The magniiicent Prince was in his seat at Steinway Hall to honor the great Nilson. Judge of his dis- gust when he perceived the noble Max, in shiny swallowtail and immaculate tie, walk out with his pretty little baton under his arm, and he, fastening the glove on his right hand, with the MOST PERFECT NONCHALANCE, bowing as gracefully as he could toward the au- dience, and taking a sweeping glance over thé as- sembled multitude his eye was stopped, held tm- movable by the glitter of abriliiant. Max shook. He took his baton from under his arm and turned around to arrange his music. No use, There was a magnetism in that brilliant. He did not covet tt, yet De must gaze toward it. He knew that behind THAT DAZZLING DIAMOND the big heartof Colonel Fisk was bumping and thumping, possibly with anger at him, but cer- tainly bumping so hard as to throw the brilliant forward and let it come backward an immense dis- tance. No demonstration was made, but the Colonel kept up ‘a thinking.” He gave orders yes- terday morning that if Max came to direct the’ re- hearsal he was to be informed. Max did come, and the Colonel was so notified. THE PLAYERS WERE IN THEIR PLACES in Faust’s laboratory. Skulls, jars, retorts, books and other toys appeared on the mimic shelves when the impressive Colonel appeared at the grand en- trance. The charming Montalandiwas in her. hoplage, then the dashing Silly and Mesdaimes Thal, Jousse, Hache and the others, listening to a little spat between MAX AND THE DANCING MASTER as to whether there should be # ballet or not. The Coionel drew near to the side entrance, Max felt the magnetism of that diamond in. He turned toward it. It came toward him. Disappeared from sight for a moment behind the proscenium box and then appeared at the right first entrance. Imme- diately it appeared bg the stage. The boards at the same time tremb! beneath the weight of the owner of that pin, Max looked toward the diamond, ‘when the voice of Fisk was heard to say, Be what are you doing here? J thought you resi Max mace a circle with his lips, ed at the Colonel and said:—‘Sure, vat you dake me fore? You tink Iam shild? You take me for shild?” “No,” says Fisk, “I don’t take you forachild. I take you fora damned swindler, Max; and, what’s more, I can prove what | say.’’ “Damn shwindlarg | damn gwipdlare !’ quoth Max, “You calla me dainhéd shwindlare ?’ (De- scribing a circle with bis arms and with fingers ex- fended ringing the tip of the middle fingerg of each and hard against his chest, ahd endeavoring at the same time to hit his ears with his shoulders.) “Leddees e zhoutemen, you heetr, you hecir zat? He calla me damn shwindlare! Navare, no navare, I shell allow enbodee calla me damn shwindlare!’’ MAX “WENT FOR” FISK, swinging out nis left duke with malicious intent. Fisk saw murder lurking in the impresario’s eye. To use nis own terms, he saw old Max trying to “chimb in? on him. He knew that he has a good looking face and he wanted to keep itso, He didn’t care about having HIS BEAUTY SPOILED, and so he putup his rightas a guard and caught Max’s left coming in some force. Max came for him again. ‘Then the Prince, soliloquizing, says:— “This looks as if the old man meant biz. I don't know who he’s got herein this crowd, and they may be behind me now. I'll go fora corner. 1 al- ways go for acorner when! get in a fuss. Then I know just what’s behind me.” Accordingly, HE MADE FOR A CORNER, the Impresario following him up closely and send- ing in biow alter blow on the ready right hand of the gallant Colonel. Presently the Colonel’s right fluke countered on the Leer ae eye. Max threw up both hands. Fisky then sent his left fluke heavily against poor Max’s bread pasket.. This doubled Max. He clasped both hands on his stomach and yelled. He looked daggers at the Colonel and sprung at hum. They clinched and fell There was A HEAVY FALL OF FAT. Over and over they rolled.

It was supposed that he had gone for the pistols; but up to a Jate hour last night he had not returned, and tnus ended the grand en- counter at the Grand Opera House. Colonel Fisk bore no sign of the deadly confict; but poor Max had a tell tale mouse under his eye, aud, no doubt, @ severe aching in his bones and breadbarket, mute testimony to the weight and striking power of the crown Prince of Erie. MORRIS AND ESSEX RAILROAD TROUBLES. At @ meeting of the joint committee of commuters from Orange and Montclair on the Morris and Essex (Delaware, Lackawanna and Western) Railroad, held at the oftice of William A. Torrey, No. 9 Park place, New Yorh, yesterday, it was resolved that in the judgment of the commitiee the time has ‘wrivea when the diMfculty existing between the railroad and the commuters should be settled, inasmuch as the troubles with the Erie road have been satisfactorily adjusted. ‘The following persons were appointed a commit- tee to confer with the directors of the Delawaee, Lackawanna and Western road, and will present a petition, now in the hands of the committee, nume- rously signed, asking that the obnoxious rule with regard to stopping at Newark be rescinded:—D, H. ‘Temple, of Montclair, and J. ©.

Parkhurst, of Montclair, and Gerry, of Orange, were appointed a committce to obtain evidence for legal action against the company in case of forcible ejectment from the cars of persons holding commu- tation tickets. It was stated at the meeting that the feeling of opposition to the obnoxious rule is as strong as it was last spring, and the commuters are now disposed to make every effort to have it re- scinded. The mecting then adjourned to qcet again at the call of the chauman. LONG BRANCH. Sccretary Robeson and General Van Alon Guests of the Proesident=—That Rawlins Bund Cal y—The Last Lingering Visitors.

THE OLD CALUMNY. bh In a stray number of a two-penny New York paper of yesterday, happening to reach heve to-day, | see a revival of the old calumny regarding the President and his pebeceinen to the Rawlins fund, which it again reiterated as having been paid by Fisk and Gould. Having denied the truth of this statement repeatedly on the most reliable authority it 1s UD necessary to repeat the dental, This much 1 will, however, add to the original statement, and which comes from the most authentic source, that instead of paying fry to this fund President Grant actually pate 500—a fagt, on very slight examina- tion, capable of the inost’ convincing proof ue thing ts certain, these calumnies do no injury tw the President, and neither do they disturb him.

KEy Wes’, Fla., Sept. 8, 1870, I learn throngh private parties that it 1s known, through a reliable source, that the steamers Annie and Salvador have landed their cargoes in Cuba, consisting of arms and ammunition. The Salvador had 3,000 rifles on board. The Governor of Havana is aware of the landing, but keeps silent, General Doza, with th ree hundred men, attacked the insurgents at Sierra Maestro, and was com- pletely routed, losing, in killed, wounded and prisoners, over two hundred men. Doza is being court-martialed for tnis defeat. ‘The Prussian inan-of-war Meteor arrived in this port Angust i, from Jamaica. Having ascertained that several French naval vessels were soon to arrive the commanding officer deemed tt prudent to get away us soon as he accordingly steamed north, Key West to coal and to await in- structions from Washington or Berlin. Tho Meteor carries three large Armstrong guns. Her oficers, a8 iar as I could learn, are:—Commander ¥. Knorr, Lieutenant Kuhn, Sub-Lieutenant Barde- mann, Assistant Surgeon Wiedemann.

The Weakness of Law and the Immunity of Crime— How Donohue Was Followed and Shot and How the Assassin Escaped—Will This be Another “Mystery” or Not? The attempted assasination of Thomas Donohue on Monday night last by%n unknown man produced an immense sensation in the Eighteenth and Twen- ty-first wards yesterday. In fact, it was the topio of conversation in every barroom and tn all other Places in the neighborhood where politicians most do congregate, and was viewed, of course, in various lights just in proportion ag the “boyy of the ward were prejudiced for or against the victim of the assault or the man who is sus- pected as having been the assailant. Thero are but few persons iu the two wards out- side the immediate circle of Donohue’s friends who do not firmy believe that the assassin is John Scannel, the brother of the late Alderman Florence Scani ‘Many circumstances of the case point stro to his being the man, although as yet there ‘# nothing positive tn point of evidence which can fix the guilt upon him. It appears on the night of the occurrence that Mr. Donohue had been to the “Bloagom Club,’’ where every evening the black and blue lights of the democracy are wont to congregate in luminous abundance. He left the house in the company of nis two cousins, and proceeded through Seventeenth street in the direction of his residence, which Is in Eighteenth street, near Third avenue. When near the corner of Seventeenth street and the avenue THR ASSASSIN PUT IN AN APPEARANCE. He was first seen striding along at a rapid rate’ in the direction opposite to that in which Dono- hue was going, and itis believed that he must have been concealed In one of the yards in the neighbor- hood for some time, or had followed the three men to seventeenth street, and then, on finding that they were going through that street to Third avenue, ran rapidly around so as to head them off; for if he had heen coming down the street from over a block in distance he not attract the a‘tention of either of the men when he approached them, AB he looked, they say, “rather strangely,” and walked directly toward them, they separated so as to let him pase between them, and thus avoid a collision. What followed was the action of but @ few seconds. Before they even suspected him of any evil design, the fellow drew a pistol, placed it close to Donohne’s breast and fired. The wig and coat and slouch bat he wore when he was first seen he threw into the street during bis fight through Seventeenth street. WaEnE WERE THE POLICE? ¥ If ja need je83 to state that the man escaped, but it Is a Very exirgordinary sien tance which seems to have been oVelldok ne, that no policeman has as yet reported having seen a man, bareneaded, running on his post in the neighbor- hood about the time the shooting took place. Indeed, there Was a ramor in the Eighteenth ward yesterday that a certain patrolman not only saw a Inan “runnimg like mad’ near Irving place at the time. but recognized him; and that “it was as much as his situation and, pertiaps, his life were worth”? to tell all he knew about the thing. The rumor, however, could not be traced to any reliaole source, and so it must be taken cwn grano salis. It ts, nevertheless, rather extraordinary that every liceman in the ward who has been questioned about the matter states in the most tive manner that he was faithfully patrolling his post at the time tne shooting took place and that he saw no person during the night whose manner or actions excited lis suspicions. It does seem as though some person must have seen the agsassii during his flight, for his pursuers saw him ahead them for several blocks, and met parties in the street shortly afterward who professed to know nothing whatever about the mau. There can be, therefore, but oue clue to the mystery of his sudden disappear- ance in Irving place—for once he had reached it he disappeared (as @ gentleman expresses it who had joined in the pursuit and who turned the corner shortly after the assassin, “as though the ground had opened and swallowed him’’)—and that is that he was taken in hand by nis triends, who 2 posted as to the plaice at which they should meet him. ‘There can be but little doubt of this, for a car- riage was seen by a resident in the neigh- borhood, standing in the middie of the bi Lede Eighteenth ana Nineteenth streets, at eleven o'clock, which was rapidiy driven away a few minutes afterward. This carriage might have borne away the scoundrel, who knew just where toget it. Again, it is not likely that a man who had disguised himself, as the wig and ola coat show the assassin had, would be so foolish as to throw oif his hat during his flight un- less he knew he had only to RUN A SHORT DISTANCE FOR SAFETY, for & man with his hat on might by chance at dead of night run through the streets rapidly without ex- citing suspicion, but @ man bareheaded would at once draw the scrutiny of every passer-by upon him. The question now is for the police to tind out who these particular “friends” of the wretch are, and they can work oa it as a probable clue,‘even If they affect to have some pet theory of their own, in which no person but the assassin himseit figures as a guilty party. As the suspicion that the man was John Scannell a reat deal can be said. Mr. O’Donohue states, in the rst place, that he recognized the disguised man as lum, and that he cannot be mistaken about it, altnough, b) must be confessed, he very easily could be, for the whole thing happened so un- expectedly and was done so quietly that a man must, indeed, have had a keen eye under the circumstances to have recognized the man, no matter how well he may have known him before. What, however, makes the case look bad jor John Scannell is his previous attempt on Dono- hue’s life and his threats aiterward that he would “be the death of him’ sooner or later. Every- body who was present at the inquest on Florence Scannell’s body when Donohue was testifying in ois own behalf must remember with what a hellish giare John Scannell eyed him the whoie time, and how, when the Inquest was ended, a detective liad to keep close to O'Ponohue to keep Scannell’s “gang,” who crowded the room, at @ re- spectful distance. It is for the police to find out to their own satisfaction whether O'Donohue has an euemy in the ward other than Scannell who might be suspected of the ATTEMPT TO TAKE HIS LIFE. O'Donohne says he has no other personal enemy that he knows of, and if this be so the police might ascertain whether or not One of the Scannell “gang” so love his master’s cause as to do the deed which the latter had been so often heard to threaten. In- deed, 80 far the police show that they have not as yet gotten over their own way of bungling their own plans in an important case. "They know, or ought to know if they did not, that the piace where Scannell’s friends stated he was all the summer is but a short distauce from this city, and can be easily reached in bricf time if a man hag a fleet horse to carry him: yet they did not send any one to the place at once to ascertain if Scannell waa there that night. Supposing he is the would-be murderer, and after attempting the deed had fled for the village, the police might have, if not get ahead of him, at least reached the place a3 soon as he, and then the rest woula have been all plato salling. It certainly wouldn’t have cost much to have telegraphed to the uppermost precinct in this city, tosend even to the village immediately, but somehow or another the police never think of what ought to be done uatil it is too late to act. 0'DONOHUE’S CONDITION. Yesterday O'Donohue'’s condition was much better, although he was at a late hour last evening consid- ered still in a dangerous condition. It 1s believed now that the builet did not pass through his lungs, but alter striking the breast glanced around the side and lodged in the musclesof the back. Dr. Kimbark was unable to find the ball, although he prohed deeply for it. : NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Rear Admiral Lanman, commanding the South Atlantic. fleet, reports from Rio Janeiro August 11.
