New York, Oct, 31, 1873. edt, MURDER AT JAMAIOA SOUTH. Yesterday morning Mr. Philip Reid Howard, aged forty years, residing at Jamaica South, was shot and instantly killed by an unknown man. It ap- pears that yesterday was Mr. Howard's birth-day, and he had invited his father and mother to dine with him. About eleven o'clock A. M. he went to his cabbage lot, a short distance from the house, to procure some cabbage, when he noticed two men gunning on his premises. He was seen to talk with them by his wife, who was standing in the kitchen door, and it is believed that he ordered them off his premises, when one of tne men was seen to raise his gun and fire two shots at Mr, Howard, when he turned, and with his com- anion jumped into a wagon that was standing near B and made their escape. Mrs. Howard, seeing her husband fall, immediately ran to his assistance, but he had expired bejore she reached him, Dr. William D, Wood and Coroner Allen were at once notified and last evening took charge of the body, and the post-mortem and inquest will be held to- day, Upon gn examination of the poor it was found that tne leit side of the deceased had been completely shot away aud a portion of his breast, The deceased was a well-to-do farmer, highly re- | spected and leaves a wife and three children ana his father and mother, aged respectively ninety years, Up toa late hour last evening no trace of the murderers had been obtained, FIRE IN NEW ORLBANS, New On.eans, La., Nov. 2, 1873, Three-fourths of the square bounded by Caronde- Jet, Baronne, First and Philip streets, was burned to-day.

So that, viewing the deed in ail its bearings, it appears MORK ADVANTAGEOUS THAN BANKRUPTCY. The deed is prepared with purpose, and, it is thought, cannot fail, atter careful consideration, of giving entire satisfaction. The interests of the creditors have been fully consulted, and, in turn, it is expected that they will pursue a liberal policy. They will at once see the eminent desir- ability and importance of maintaining the business establishments in Rhode Island, more espectally when it is considered that 12,000 persons, women and children, depend upon these institutions for employment and subsistence. Bankruptcy and general condemnation and sale of the property would necessarily close the mills and throw this vast number of hands out of employ- ment, and at @ time, too, when they cannot readily find employment elsewhere. There may be some of the creditors who, with their prefer- ments, seek to advance beyond all reasonable degree their individual interests, to the general detriment of the concern; but it is quite certain they are far in the minority, and the deed, it is confidently expected, will prove almost uni- versally acceptable, THE REAL ESTATE AT CRANSTON and inthe city of Providence and its neighbor- hood belonging to the Spragues, and which tt is contemplated to dispose of by the deed of mort- gage, covers Over 2,500 acres, ranging in value from $300 to $1,000 an acre, and in the city of Providence as high as $10 a square foot. The esti- mated value of this property is $3,615,000, ‘The sale of this property will not in any appreciable degree affect the manufacturing interests of the company. The Rhode Isiand Horse Shoe Company is situated on the outskirts of Providence. The works and property are valued at $50,000, The Sprague Mow- ing Machine Company, in this city, is an extensive coneern. Its value is put down at $613,000, and it gives employment to over 100 men. The Hoint Street Iron Works are estimated to be worth $182,000, The American Horse Nail Company is put down at $14,000; the Wilcox Caloric Engine Company as $37,000, and the Comstock Foundry Company $87,000, All these, according as the judgment of | the trustees will decide, may be sold at any moment ta liquidate the indebtedness. THE PROPERTY OF THE COMPANY in realestate in Maine, Kansas, South Carolina, Rhode [sland and New York will bring under a wise disposition a very large sum. The trustees baving power to sell part or whole, it might be possible, though altogether improbable, that the latier alternative will occur, At the worst, the print works will be saved; they are the centre of the whole property. All the rest of the mills are but the extensions, the offspring of the print works. These were founded and brought to periection by the elder Spragues—Amasa and Wil- | liam—where the pride and affection of the younger Amusa Sprague are centred. It is here he spends the early morning and evening of the day, His heart is set upon that part at least of the property, The ambition of his brother William was to spread the capital and name of Sprague over the land, This POLICY OF EXPANSION brought on the crisis, and now the main hope of the concern is to save the Cranston print works, even though all the rest of the property goes by the board. It was the nucleus of the whole system of industries, and now it is thought it will be the sheet anchor of the Spragues. The Natick, the Quidnick and the Cranston mills will be very tikely saved, but all the rest will be sola. THE FEELING IN THE COMMUNITY, upon the report of the committee of investigation, is considerably better, and it is generally consid- ered that, with prudent management, under these plans devised by the committee the affairs of the company can be satisfactorily adjusted, All seemed to depend upon this report, and all eyes were directed towards it. It was awaited with trembling anxiety by many of the business men, who it must be confessed were a little suspicious about the continued delays and the secrecy so long maintained. While on the other hand, those who placed the utmost confidence in the house felt assured of the ability oi the firm to make a favorable showing. THE SPRAGUE ORGAN here thus comments upon the report :— Want of time prevents a thorough examination and classification of the report of the committee of the banks made at noon to-day. It is sufficient for us to say to-day that the report is eminently favorable, showing that the assets of the house over its liabilities exceed $8,000,000, and the sur- plus of the two houses of the Messrs. Spragues, and Hoyt, Sprazues & Co., exceed $11,000,000; and this, too, upon an __ esti- mate of property largely betow its real value, Another feature of this report exceedingly grati- fying to the creditors of the house and all our citizens i the ciaracter of the assets. They are not in fancy stocks and bonds, but in solid real estate, manufacturin, prop» erty and substantial interests ot value to the firm and to the State. We see, as do all our clear-headed citizens, no cause for alarm to the creditors under such a showing. The ony trouble with the house was that in these times of panic it found itself too much involved. The crippled con- dition of its corresponding house became a burden rather than a help, although that house is shown to possess assets largely in excess of its liabilities, and with an extension of time both houses will recover and pay their obligations and resume their busi- ness. ‘The suggestion of the appointment of trustees in view of the Bankrupt law, and the unsettled condition of the public mind, is an eminently judicious one. The gentle- men named have the confidence of the public in the highest degree, and there ts little doubt but all the creditors will cheerfully endorse the pla suggested and approve of the appointment of thes gentlemen. In the light of this report we see no occasion for the uneasiness of the depositors in the two savings banks whose affairs have been ex- amined and published in our columns yesterday, THE FEARS OF THK OPERATIVES. Among the thousands of operatives in the em- ploy of the Spragues there was naturally great anxiety and fear, and they eagerly sought explana- tion of the state of affairs from those more intelli- gent and who were conversant with mat- ters. They beheld before them want of work and consequent destitution as the result of the failure of the great house, and here they had good reason, in view of the crisis, for making their anxious inquiries, It is needless to state they felt exceedingly rejoiced to learn that meas- ures have been devised for sustaining substan- tially the vast business interests of the company. “The Spragues are the life of this town,” said a man | casually met on the sidewalk to-day. “Take them out of it and what would be the consequence, not to the town alone, but to the wliole State? Why a good many people would have to emigrate, They have a pay roil of $8,000,000 or $9,000,000 a year that goes circulating throngh the State and keeps 60,000 people in bread. If you take it away you invite disorder and misery." Other men I chanced to talk to held the view that the Spragues should be sustained if only to save the poor people whodepend uponthem. ‘If,’ they say, “the company is wiped out THE SAVINGS BANKS will never recover, and the depositors—principally operatives—will lose all their little savings.” THR WORST OF THE CRISIS is now over. It would be a misfortune if the con- cern went into bankruptcy, but even if it should it is best to know the worst, and that is the only alternative that presents itself in case the credi- tors refuse the agreement proposed. Senator Wil- lam Sprague retired from the presidency of the company because that public opinion held him re- sponsible for the policy of expansion pursued by the house, But, while he did not feel that this opinion had foundation, he thought it discreet to allay all further apprehension by withdrawing/jn favor of his brother Amasa, Whose tendencies ‘are all conservative.

Two weeks more and the balance sheets of the Exposition will have to be made out, and Aus- tria will know the actual amount of the deficit she nas to foot. The amount on the 30th of September ‘was over 12,000,000 of guldens, which sunt will, per- haps, be reduced to: 10,000,000 by tne end of the month. The oMotal Wiener Zeitung publishes the following “statement of account of the Universal Exhibition, 1873,"’ to the end of September :— GULDENS IN AUSTRIAN exo. 3 of | Quar-| Second | Third 172. | ter. | Quarter. | Quarter. 175,046} 1,000,512) 1,315, =| —| 15,083,314 i: va | Total. 1 Third Quarter. sury... 3 Amount in, the bxhidi- tion trea- sury.... Total THE TOTAL RECKIPTS up tothe present time are some 3,000,000 florins, which amount will be greatly increased this month by a large influx of visitors, by the collection of rent for space and the sale of buildings and ma- terial, Some portions of the building or buildings will stand as they are. The Machinery Hali is sold, I am told, to a railroad company for a treight depot, while the Rotunda and the two adjoining transepts, forming a square, will remain as a place for public gatherings, amusements and expo- sitions. The palace ol the Khédive of Egypt, the Imperial and the Jury pavilions, will stand as orna- | menial buildings and be transformed into cafés, | restaurants or similar institutions for the Vienua | pleasure folk. It {s possible that some of the pretty” pavilions on the grounds will likewise be left. The } day for closing the Exposition is definitely fixed | jor the Sist of October. Eforts have been made to postpone the time, in order to give the ex- hibitors a chance to seli their goods, but with no / result so far, The Exhibition has become at last { little better than @ bazaar, as it is. Through some means or other petty venders of pins and needles, | and pocket handkerchiefs and gimeracks have | managed to get permission from the General ; Direction to plant their stalls in every part of the building, and are driving % good business, Pro- minent among these pettifogging dealers in pins and needles is a certain Dr. “Colic,” who alter paying his twenty-five florins to the Imperial Commission, and securing his patent tor sale, piants nis booth in the American department, and detes the American Commission to remove him. Said Doctor Colic is the bugbear oi our depart- ment, and the history of his carryines on here would make & most amusing yet disagreeable chapter in the book of Exhibition scandal. EXHIBITION LECTURES AND REPORTS. In the two weeks before the close of the Extwbi- tion we are to have a number of lectures delivered in the Jury Pavilion, in the Exposition Fite on various subjects, such as “Cabinet Making,” “Suk and Siiks,” “Cravats,” “Gloves,” “Soda and Potash,” and “Weiguts and Measures,” all of which are free. If the lectures are as dry and mat- ter of fact as the “Official Reports of the Extibi- tion" pubiished by the General Direction when we would prefer to be excused from attendance. It is uniortunate that the General Direction could not have secured persons capable of writing tn a more leasing, at the same time thorough, style than Those Whose works are now offered for sale in the exhibtion. Thirteen of these pamphiets. or “om. cial reports,” have so far been published, ranging. in cost irom M{teen to thirty cents, Among the tities of the pamphicts pubtished I mention the following, which exhibitors in the various branches desire to procure :— mY me conta’ Pavilion, by Dr, Stamn, 9, Sugar and Sugar Making Apparatus, by Dr. + J ! . snort, ffi» reports that pepe | letle posture explanatory r+ Fedimaa tg ean " our' dance of yV,"" and he pres then of excelien ore #0 far loner, nase palm to Austrian and Germa? 2m Such reports are simply ridiculous, The Joirg-winded professorial essays which have the Exposition journal of the Neue would be far more valuable if they were uently tinguished for an wpj le ity. Pe lication, which wag issged @) thesummer in the pavilion of the Neue Freie Presse on the Ex- position grounds, ceased on the 30th of Sept faving been @ dead loss to its publishers of guidens a day—a loss which gained for the Freie Presse its diploma of honor fer ‘journ: excellence and enterprise.’? It wax the only on the grounds; the ouly payer whiez coul an office there, have’ EXYOSITION CREDITORS. Aad hereby hanga ataie. The editors of an Eng lah technical journal, Engi , Made ar- rangements last winter to erecs & burcaa on the grounds, and, | believe, obtaine® permission trou the Imperial Commission. Alter purchasing » house, or pavilion, and bringing Mt to Vienna at a Cost of £200, Baron Schwarz informed them that he had alveady sold the sole privilege of pnvlishing to the Neue Frete Presse, and theretore could net per- mit them to establish, “However,” said the Baron, ‘I will pay you the £200 and you will have no lous.’ ‘The pavilion bas stoe4 closed alt summer. The’ £200 have never been paid, and, to all appearances, never will be. | ksiow several other cases of parties who have similar-ciaims on tne Imperial Commis gion who clamor fer the” money in vein. They" get nothing bet promises, of which the manager of the affair has an anlimited suppty. Burom Schwara 1s Cerribly badgered just now— notonly with men having claims like the toregolug, but by’the © DISCONTENTRD: EXITBTTORS, whose name is Legion. The Imperiai Commission: reiused to make any amends to the awords, plead- ing that it was too late. Theo a few lundred Aus- trian, German and a couple of Ameriosn and Yng- lish exhiditors attended a mmoeting calied for the purpose of protesting azainst the mamner in witch the prizes had been awarded by the jurors, and ‘a’ deputation was selected-to visit tue Archduke Rainer; President of the Hxntbifion,andiay the com~- plaint of the meeting before him, The Archduke received the deputation in 9,very iriendty manner, but expressed nig regret that they had Caken their measures #0 late, and confor" them with the assarance that if they (the deputation) could sug- gest any means of remedy he woald be “happy to assist them, Stnee the members of the deputation conlé not suggest te His Imperial Highness any feasible means of sattstying the discontented ex- hibitors the matter remains as it was, Now the “discontented” are crying for a second “honsrary jury,” composed of scientific mea, who are to-give awards to objects not already deCorated, This “jury scandal’ 1s interesting and valnable tov us, as showing the utter worthiessness of awards made by a class of semi-ignorant perce chock-full oi prejudice and partiality. Exhibitors will only respect, in iature, award made by scientific men. That diplomas and medals have been purchased here tsa fact too well known to need repetition, The procuring of 3: medal waa a Dratter of dollars and cents sna dinners champagne. Let us hope that Pbiladelphia’ will inaugurate a new system, FINISHED 'A® LAST. It was prophesied in May last that the Raxhibition * Would not be finished until the close. A\few days * ago, on the 9th of October, the big clock im the western end of: the machinery halt was fixed in :t3 place, just three weeks before the last day. American exinbitors are pre- parmg to leave as soon as they can get away, and Baron Scirwarz is hurrying up his cterka to-send in the bills for space ip vrder to help the General Direction reduce the deticit. There has been some troubie between the State Department at Washington amd our Commission here, The last parser of the Vienna instructions issued by Mr, Fish says that the Chief Commissioner shall, at theclose of the Pxhibition, deliver over the goods to the respective exhibitors, taking receipts for the same. ‘Though nothing was contained in the said instructions about the goods being taken back by the Guard, it was generally understoo® by exhibitors that this vessel was at Trieste for this very daty, where she has been for the last six months:. A lew days-ago the Commission received a sharp: telegram irom Washington calling atten- tion to the last paragraph, and decidimg that the exhibitssmust be retezned at the expense of the ex- hibitors themselves. The Commission remonstrated, calling attention to the fact that Captain Kirk- land, of the Guard, had instructions trom the State Department to wait at Trieste for the very purpose of taking the exhibits home. Ithiak the answer from Washington waa to the effeet that they had forgotten all about the Guard being here, and hence the obnoxious order was rescinded. So much for red tape. Some per- sons think that not only should the Guard ‘take home the goods of our exhibitors, but also many needy Americans who are at Vienna just now— some in possession 0! Jay Cooke’s drafts, some wha have exhausted their funds and some who never had any. The rumor ts that the Commission has ap- pited for an appropriation of $1,000, for the purpose of assisting needy cases. The application deserves consideration, and if granted will prevent muck misery aud shame. Diea. Corte.—On Saturday, November 1, Brena oungest daughter of James and Bridget Voyle, Newark, N.
