TROUBLED ERIE, A LONDON JOURNAL DOUBTS THE SOUNDNESS OF THE LATE WATKINS-JEWET? AGREEMENT-~THE NEW DIRECTION, [From the Evening Telegram of yesterday.) Lonvox, Sept. 7, 1875. ‘The London Observer, @ prominent journal, which sometimes has official news, publishes @ leading article in which it discredits the soundness of the arrange- ments recently made between Receiver Jewett, of the Erie Railway, and Sir Edward Watkin, who visited the United States for the purpose of protecting the in- terests of European holders of the shares and Erie bonds, The article goes on further to state that a mem orandum of the arrangements was cabled to London, and argues that the haste with which the business was transacted shows ® want of sufficient consideration on the part of the English representative for the interests of his Furopean clients, It also blames the manner of communreation, coming in brief as it did by cable, as savoring of encouragement to speculation in the shares, The article has been the prominent topic of conversation in financial circles, and has created con- siderable sensation, although the stock has not as yet been materially affected, A NEW ERIE DIRECTION—RESULT OF THE MISSION OF SIR EDWARD WATKIN, In view of the nows cabled over from Europe, touch- ing Sir Edward Watkin’s action in Ero matters, a Hxranp reporter waited yesterday afternoon on ono of the best known and most prominent ofthe Erie direc- tors, He elicited the following statement:—The visit of Sir Edward Watkin’s committee has satisfied them that the road isin excellent condition; but that it is everloaded with debt, which, im the interest of all stockholders, will have to be dealt with as ably and promptly as possible, There can be no doubt that the appointing of o receiver was a cause of sorioue alarm on the other side, and was the main reason of the visit of Sir Edward ‘Watkin and his committee to this country. But he eaw inavery short time that such action was in the best interests of the lino and was imperatively de- manded, unless considerable interests were sacrificed. Mr. Jowett’s receivership gives perfect satisfaction, and will probably be continned for at least one or two years, Although a receiver has been appointed, stil * the directors continue to advise and act just as if things were in their normal condition. It can hardly be said that the visit of Sir Edward was intended to embrace a thorough financial overhauling of the affairs of the company, but rather to report upon the condition of the road and its thanagement and to report to Euro- Saat (but more especiaily to English) bond and stock jolders the measures which he considers necessary for a reasonable protection of their interests. These interests represent aboat $60,000,000 and practically give the English holders the control of the road. There is, con- sequently, no doubt that such suggestions as are made by Sir Edward and the conimittee will be unbesitatingly adopted. It is not supposed that such suggestions will atall interfere with the working management of the road as it stands, but they may embrace the appoint- ment of a few new directors, some of the present Board resigning to make places for selections favored by the committee, So far from any obstacle being placed in the way of such action, most of the members of the present Board of Directors would be only too happy to resign and make piace for the nominees of the European stock and bond holders, if thereby tncreased confidence would be the result on the other side. The present directors would look on their resignation as a great relicf froma very onerous re- sponsibility, but, so far, such proposed change has not involved more than two or three ceats in the direction. There can be no doubt thata favorable report from Sir Edward will go far to strengthen Erie in the European markets, but it is not known here, except to Sir Ed- ward's committee, what the report exactly will be ; nor did the above mentioned director believe that the Lon- don Standard could be in possession of any detailed basis of settlement.

Letter from D. 0. Milis to the New York Herald. Outstanding Gold Notes Being Paid at the United States Treasury, A CLEAR ROAD JUST AHEAD. San Francisco, Sept. 7, 1875, To ram Eprror oy tae Heratp:— ‘The directors of the Bank of California re- fuse to allow any official statement to be made concerning the affairs and condition of the bank until their work of investigation is fully completed. We are reorganizing the bank affairs with a view to enable it to pay all its debts and to supply new capital. Success is now assured beyond any doubt, and we confidently expect to resume regular business in ashort time. Mr. Ralston was indebted largely to the Bank of California, but he leaves considerable private estate, the proceeds of whick will go fur toward pay- ing his liabilities. i The assets of the Bank are now in excess | of its liabilities, independent of the new capital now being subscribed. The commu. nity here is showing the greatest confidence in our efforts at reorganization. Yours truly, D. O. MILLS, CONDITION OF THE BANK—CONSTANT REMIT- TANCES FROM THE COUNTRY. SAN FRaxctsco, Sept. 7, 1875, There is nothing new concerning the affairs of the Bank of California. Arrangements are proceeding quietly and prosperously toward a settlement, The President of the National Gold Bank and Trust Company stated this morning that arrangements have been made for the redemption of all of their. gold notes, amounting to $800,000, at the United States Treasury, Tho bank is gradually working toward resumption; has already liquidated over half of its de- posits; 1s collecting, paying out and settling with customers as rapidly as possible; is in constant receipt of remittances from country cor- respondents and paying their drafts and receiving deposits from city customers and paying checks against the same, intending thus to resume gradually and to retain their business. The President states they are supported in this plan of action by their creditors almost without exception as being better for the general interests than to hoard coin for formal resumption, BALSTON’S FRIENDS AND FOES—THE PROPOSED GREAT MEETING 0-NIGHT-—AN OUTLINE OF THE CAUSES OF THE WAR. To tux Eprror ov tux Heraup;— The meeting announced to take place this evening in San Francisco in reference to the death of Mr. Ralston isanother evidence of the length to which the people of California will go on occasions of great public com- motion, Among the objects of the promoters of the assemblage {ts to affect the business ruin of two of the oldest, most successful and influential newspapers on the Pacific coast—the Evening Bulletin and the Morning Call—by the entire community refusing to either sub- scribe for or advertisoin them, Eminent clergymen are to open the meeting with prayer, and addresses are to be delivered by distinguished citizens touching the affairs of the Bank of California and its late President, It is expected 60,000 people will be in attendance and that a calm judgment will be expressed condemna- tory of the two journals named and the part taken in harmony with them by the associated press abroad. It will be remembered that there were five tickets for mu- nicipal officers at the election held on the Ist inst. and four candidates for Mayor. The democrats nominated B t, a citizens’ party Hallidee, two separate inde- pergiht parties Clayton, tne latter having been adopted by $B republicans, who only a few days before the election placed a ticket of their own in the field, and lastly Cobb, who was indorsed by a people's organiza- tion. The great issue in the contest was the sug- gested purchase by tho city of the Spring Valley Water Works, which would, if accomplished, involve an outlay of about $20,000,000, It was ‘understood that Bryant was in favor of the project and it was also understood that Ralston was mainly instru- mental in obtaining for him the democratic nomination, Clayton, an ex-member of Congress, was not committed in the matter one way or the other, and though of re- publican antecedents was nominated by conventions composed about equally of members of the two great political parties. Hallidie, also a republican, was se- lected by a body brought into existence by the Bulletin and Call (both being owned and controlled by the same individuals) and was strenuously supported by theso journals during the campaign. Cobb, an independent democrat, had little or no show in the fight, but was probably aided by the influence of the Alta California, In brief, politics did not enter into the contest for mu- nicipal posts, Bryant, the democratic candidate tor Mayor, being an old time republican and an ex-federal official, THE WATER QUESTION as intimated, was the all absorbing topic during tho campaign. It was conceded on all sides that an amplo supply of water was needed, and that it should be solely under control of the city authorities, There were several plans under consideration for conveying it from distant points in which vartous parties were interested, the main question, however, being which would be the best and most economical, The Bulletin and Cail opposed, under all and every circumstance, the purchase of the Spring Valley Works,jand denounced the scheme as being conceived in fraud and intended only to benefit Ralston at the expense of tho taxpayers, Ralston was held up, day after day, as engaged ina plot to plunder the city of millions, and of courso Bryant came in for a full sharo of attention, Ralston was cateemed by all classes for Jarge and useful public enterprises, and these attacks on the inan provoked a deep dogree of dissatisfaction. The | Bulletin and Cal wero indefatigable in their support of Hallidie and the ticket of which he was the head, but broad intimations were mado that there was another water scheme to be served that would prove more in- Jurious to the people than the Spring Valley one, and in Which Hallidie and his frinds were interested to the ex- tent of millions, to be taken improperly out of the pockets of the taxpayers. A PIERCE NEWSPAPER WaR, The San Francisco Chronicle has a long standing quar- rel with the Bulletin and Call, This feud has been con- | ducted with almost unparalleled personal bitterness. It is not alone @ Gerce business rivalry, but a war to the knife, in which the most’ sacred rela- tions of life have not been spared on either side. The Chronicle supported Clayton for Mayor, and, not to be belind its antagonists, got up a conven: tion of its own, which indorsed Claytou. Of course all that the Bulletin opposed was warmly upheld by the Chronicle; and, as Clayton ts a highly respectable citi- zen, Who Was uncommitted to any particular water sehome, the paper was deemed to act a disinterested part. [tchampioned Ralston, and repelled, in its own vigorous manner, all assaults on the Bank of California, It would be diflicult to imagine the depths of depravity charged by one combatant against the other, and it did | not take long until it became evident that public fecling | leaned toward Ralston, who, it was belie was most | unjustly assailed, and’ that Something more than a de- sire wo subserve the public good prompted the attacks | made upon him. Indeed, there were not wanting indi- | cations days before the election of some kind of a popu- lar demoustratioh against the Bulletin and Cale, ‘A. REMINISCENSH, It will not seem strange, therefore, that the announce. ment is made to inaugurate a movement to cripple, if destroy, the two papers, Similar movements are | not unconimon in California, Indeed, the rise and ste- | cess of the Bulletin are due to a popular demonstration which ruined in one day the leading daily paper pub- | lished at the time on the Pacific coast, In 1856, and fur | | years before, there was no more ably conducted, pros- | | perous or popular journal published in California than | | the San Francisco Herald, It enjoyed the confidence | and respect of all classes of the community nd no one | | doubted that it was destined to retain its ‘higu position for an almost unlimited period, ‘The Vigilance Com. | mite was formed in Saa Francisco in 1800, It his energy and tho effective part he took in promoting 1 originated {mn the indignation of the ie SM the assassination of the ‘editor. of the Bulletin 2s he wes leaving his __ office in broad daylight by a miserable man, who had been cruelly and persistently assailed in his personal rela- tions by the editor of the Bulletin, It was proposed to take the life of the culprit without the forms of law, and the Bulletin passionately advocated this course, The Herald insisted that law and order should be main- tained, and that tho established courts should be allowed to deal with the assassin, The Vigilance Committee wonld not listen to this counsel. Its execu- tive committee met and resolved that all patronage should be withdrawn from the offend- ing Journal, In a few hours the Herald lost all its advertisers and subscribers and im a short time ceased to exist. The Bulletin became the favor- ite, and was firmly established. {t changed hands many years since, and has iong been considered a very vaiuable property. Its owners purchased the Call in 1871 at a very large Ggure. It mast be remembered that no party feeling enters into the quarrel, But there can be no doubt that the design of crushing two widely circulated journals in the manner proposed is rather a serious matter. The people of California, however, act on some occasions in Strange ways. In 1856 it was actually perilous to be seen reading the paper then proscribed, and if a similar determination still survives among the people it must go hard with the Bulletin and Cau, A CALIFORNIAN, WASHINGTON. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, a THE RETIREMENT OF LEGAL TENDERS AND NA- TIONAL BANK NOTES—-THE BANKS DESIROUS OF REALIZING THE PREMIUM ON THEIR BONDS. The total amount of legal tenders and national bank notes cancelled and retired from circulation since July 1, 1874, is, in round numbers, $25,000,000, nearly $18,000,000 being the voluntary surrender of national banks under the provisions of the act of June 20, 1874. The indications are that the banks will henceforth rapidly deposit legal tenders for the redemption of their circulating notes in order to avail themselves of the premium upon tho bonds held as security for euch circulation, The amount of six per cent bonds in the hands of the Treasurer is but little over $10,000,000, while the ton-forties and new fives make up nearly the entire amount held es security, Noither of these loans are lkely to ve disturbed for years., and bankers are now ‘anxious to replace them with the four and a half per the five per cents. The National Gold Bank and Trust Company of San Francisco yesterday surrendered $200,000 of its circu- lation, depositing that amount in coin with the Assis ant Treasurer in New York, and receiving $250,000 in bonds and a telegraph transfer order for $200,000 in gold on San Francisco, The Western National Bank of Baltimore on the Ist inst, surrendered $90,000 of its circulation, and on Saturday the National Bank of San Antonio, Texas, surrendered all of its circulation, the President of the bank depositing the necessary amount of legal tenders in person, He said it was no longer profitable to hold the circulating notes while the premium on United States bonds was so high, and preferred to profit by the sale of the bonds now than wait for specie payment, The First National Bank of Charlotte, North Carolina, surrendered $225,000 of its circulation, the First Jamesburg, of New Jersey, $27,000 and the Sixth New York $67,500. THE TREASURY ROBBERY, PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION OF BROWN—TESTI- MONY OF A BEPORTER BEGARDING THE AD-< MISSION OF HALLECK. Wasatscron, Sept. 7, 1875. The preliminary examinatiot of Theodore W. Brown, fm connection with the $47,000 Treasury larceny, was continued this afternoon in the Police Court Ex-United States District Attorney Fisher ree tiring, tho new District Attorney, Mr, Wells, appeared for the government, in company with the Hon. Jeremiah M. Wilson. Henry 0. Noyes, ro- porter for the Hvening Star, was called by the govern- ment to prove by the admission of Halleck to him that the larceny was committed. Mr, Noyes testified that he wrote Halleck’s statement, made to him at the time of his arrest, and published it in that paper, ness gave the principal points of the statement, to the effect that Halleck charged the larceny to a man whom he represented as C. Gates, who made some arrange. ment with Halleck for the disposition of the money, which, according to Halleck, was hidden ina Treasury Department water closet. The money found its way into the possession of Ottman, who undertook to have it changed into other funds before its division among the parties to the larceny. ‘The testimony of Noyes did not mpaterially differ from the heretofore published statement of Haileck, It appears Halleck was asked by Ottman at the latter's restaurant to address a package to'T. W. Brown, to be sent by express to that person. Ottman represented the contents of the package to be poker chips. This was the first time, Halleck said, he learned there was a third party to the plunder, supposing that he and Ott- man alone were to havea division of the money. In no other way than this did Halleck connect Brown with the larceny, Ex-Judge Wilson said the govern- ment expected to prove that Gates and Halleck were one and the same person. The further examination was postponed until to- morrow. THE SAFE BURGLARY CASE, AN IMPORTANT WITNESS OBTAINED IN THE ARREST OF GEORGE MILES, ALIAS MEYERS— THE MISSING LINK IN THE TESTIMONY FOUND AND A NEW TRIAL TO BE HAD, Wasutnarox, Sept, 7, 1875. The arrest of George Miles, alias Meyers, in New York on Sunday, on the chargo of robbing the Barre Bank of Washington county, Vermont, secures to tho government a very important witness in the famous Safe Burglary case. Miles was the companion of Ben- ton, and aided him in blowing open United States Dis- trict Attorney Fisher's safe in the spring of 1873 When the two were leaving the building the Super. intendent of Police noticed they did not keep together. He éaid he must arrest them both, but Harrington, one of the conspirators, said he must not molest him, but follow Benton, who had tho carpet bag, which was to be deposited at the house of Columbus Alexander, But his connection with the robbery is of not so much im- portance ag the fact that he was directly employed by Nettleship, who was Whitley’s assistant as chief of the Secret Service Bureau, which SUPPLIRS THR MISSING LINK in the chain of evidence to connect the Secret Service with prominent ex-oflicials, Attorney General Pierrepont has taken the necossary steps to secure the presence of Miles in Washington when tho safo burglary trial is renewed. Ho says he is unrestrained by any orders, and if he knew of any tending to interfere with the thorough proscentioh of tho case he would instantly revoke them. Other evi- dence of a startling character will be developed when the case comes up for trial, SPAIN AND THE CENTENNIAL CHANGES IN THE PERSONNEL OF THE COMMIS- SION BY THE GOVERNMENT OF KING Al- FONSO. Wasmnatos, Sept 7, 187% Hon, Caleb Cushing, Minister to Spain, has trans- mitted a lotter to Secretary Fish, stating that the for- mer goverament of Spain, on determining that the country should be represented in the Centennial Exhi« bition, made an appropriation of 600,000 pesetas and appointed a commission of ninety mem- vers to superintend the business in Spain, and designated a somewhat numerous and expensive commission to act inthe United States.

San Francisco, Sept. 7, 1875, The news of the inauguration of war between the Indians and whites in Eastern Nevada and Western Utah causes much excitement here to-day, and comes in opportunely to divert the public mind from the bitter local strife that has fiercely raged here during the last two weeks, | General —_ Rosecrans, who is now superintending the mining interest in Egan Canyon, on the line of the old overland route, about 250 milos west of Salt Lake City, seems to be the reliable medium in the Indian country of furnish- ing Information, and upon his telegram to Governor Bradley a requisition was made for troops, and General Schofleld immediately despatched cavalry, infantry and artillery to Eiko on tho Central Pa- cifle Railroad, where they will rendezvous before leaving for the scene of strife. I have just seen Gen. Schofield, who says that the military authori- ties knew but little of tho actual situation, They thought it proper to make the necessary pre- Parations for war should their services be demanded.’ A portion of a cavalry regiment left here yesterday for Elko, Three or four companies also left hero this morning for the same place, and General Sheridan has ordered troops from Camp Douglas along the line of the railroad. General Rosecrans did not think there was much occasion for anxiety, while Governor Bradley was very urgont for troops. MORMON INFLUENCES. Rosencrans seems to think his sources of Informa- tion sufciently reliable fo justify him in repeating tho rumor that the Indians of Utah, who had been recently baptized into the Mormon church, had come into No- vada and incited the Indians there to hos- tility against the whites, ‘This and the recent gathering of Indians around Corinne, the Gentile towns at hoad of Salt Lake and the boasting of the Mormons that the Indians were being converted preparatory to the great work they were to do, for the redemption of Zion’ appears to strenghten tho fears of the Gentiles, and leads to the apprehension that A GENERAL WAR has been inaugurated, There can be no question that during the last twelve months the Mormon missionaries have been baptizing the Indian by the hundred all through Utah and in adjoining territories and the red skins believe that the spirits of their forefathors have visited sbme of the leading chiefs_— in Southern Utah, and told them to cling to the Mortons and that Brigham was the monthpiece of God to them, Ofthis the Mormon apostles openly boast in their sermons. It seems hardly possible that Brigham is so supremely stupid as to use the Indians to try and scare the white folks out of the fecountry, but that is generally the impression in Salt Lake City and here, 4 THE SCENE OF THE DIFFICULTIES, {s directly south of the old Overland Mail route, lying between Deep Creck, Utah, and Shell Creek, Nevada, There is a large tract of country running 400 or 500 miles north and south and thirty-flve miles east and west, where the Goshutes and Shoshones roam. 'Thero are numbers of high ranges of mountains, and between them very excellent _pasturage for cattle grazing, and in some places a country capable of agricultural cultivation, During the first years of the overland mail service these Indians com- mitted numerous depredations and killed several pas. sengers travelling by the stage; but in 1863 a company of Californta volunteers, under General P, Edward O'Connor, whipped them into subjection, and from that time till now they have been perfectly quiet, and havo been working about the farms and mining settlement without annoying any one. An Indian war is always a godsend to favored contractors and a fruitful source of happiness to that class of persons who live by the world of accidents, and it may be expected that EXAGGERATED RUMORS of the great strength and resources of tho Indians will be given to the public to get up a war, whether - there is necessity for it or not. Still there seems good grounds for all that is being done now. Your corre- spondent has conversed with a dozen: persons to-day, reeently from that country, and they apprehend noth- ing from anything that can be done by the Indians that have lived here; but if tho Utah Mormon Indians join them, and the Piutes from the North and South arrange fora fight with them, there will be a big war, How the difficulty commenced is not stated reliably, but it is quite as likely that the white man was the first transgressor. Ho is always the first in the row. The country now threatened is the best stock range in the Stato of Ne- vada. One man captured by Indians, named Daniel Murphy, is said to be worth mill ions, Ho has 650,000 head of cattle and an immense number of horses, He drives cattle from the valleys of this State into that conntry where the bunch grapes and the tender white sage is very nutritious, and then ho supplies San Francisco, Chicago and intermediate towns with rich beef, The country is dotted over with little farms, where excel- lent crops of cereals and vegetables are raised for the mining camps, There need, therefore, be no difficulty in sustaining a Vigorous campaign if war 1s determined upon, THE TRIAL OF A MURDERER, Rocuestsr, N. ¥., Sept. 7, 1875, ‘The trial of John Clark, who murdered John Trevor onthe 26th of June last, was begun in this city to-day before Judge James C, Smith, atan extraordinary term of the Court of Oyor and Terminer, District Attorney Raines appearing for the people and Mr. William F.

The following report of the riot at Clinton, Miss., last Saturday, was received from Jackson to-night: — In conformity with a widely extended notice throughout Hinds county @ mass meeting of re- publicans was assembled at Clinton last Sat. Members of nearly ll the repub- lican elubs in the county were in attendance, with many women and children, A barbecue was announced and arrangements made to feed 3,000 persons. Nearly this number were in attendance, Every precantion was taken to have an orderly and successful meeting. The Clinton authorities had appointed many special police men, and the regulations prohibited the sale of intoxi- cating liquors, At half-past one P. M. the procession filed upon the groun@s, and speaking commenced ten minutes thereafter, the democratic speakers being on the ground and asking for a division of time, In the interest of peace and good feeling their request was granted, and a joint discussion was fixed between Judge Johnson, the democratic candidate for State Senatorship, and Captain H. Fisher, editor of tha Jackson Daily Times, Johuson to speak an hour, Fisher to follow in an hour and a quarter, and Johnson to close in a quarter of an hour speech. Judge Johuson made a liberal aud courteous speech, and Capt, Fisher took the stand and congratulated the audience on the auspicious opening of the campaign in tha county, and expressed a hope that the same good feele ing would characterize all their meetings. Captain Fisher spoke in this strain about eight min. utes, when he saw the outskirts of the crowd leaving to go to the scene of the difficulty, about fifty yards di: tant, in about three minutes a pistol shot was fired in the crowd, and quickly another, and ina moment itty shots seemed to be discharged. In the course of titeen minutes more than 500 shots were fired, Three white men and four colored were wounded. By five o'clock net a colored man was seen on the ground. Armed white men came out from Clinton and took possession of the grounds, At the same time tha Vicksburg train brought armed men from Edwards and Bolton, On Saturday night 500 armed white men occupied Clinton and there was quite a Sunday morning. At daybreak the — Vicks- ers, of whom there were 200, commenced slaughtering: the negroes. All the colored men they , could find were shot down, Adozen or more were Killed in cold blood, Armed bands Were organized and scoured the country, and the work of sianghter went on. It is estimated that fiity men were killed in thia way in the county on Sunday, Those who were not | killed had to flee to the woods and swamps for protec. tion. The colored men for two days have been hourly arriving and reporting new outrages. ‘The civil author- ities are utterly powerless to stop the marauding bands. Governor Ames has issued an order command. ing the rioters to disperse. The crty is full of pred refugees, who dare not return to theirhomes. | a nothing but protection. Governor Ames is doing al within his power to prevent further bloodshed, ‘The Mayor of Clinton has issued an appeal to the cok ored refugees to return to their peacetul avocations, THE: CHOCTAW NATION, AN ATTEMPT TO DRIVE OF ALL WHITE MEN, ELK Creek, I. T., via MusKoase, Sept. 7, 1875, The late meetings at Caddo and Atoka, in the Choce taw Nation, in the interest of the opens ing up of the Territory, have borne unexpected fruit, Instead of inveigling Governor Coleman Cole into .a recognition of the movement he has issued a proclamation that no permits to reside in that nation will be granted to white men until the meeting of the Council, It looks as though he meant to carry out his view of driving all white mea from the Choctaw Nation if possible, THE DEFENCE OF FARRAGUT, AN EXPLANATION FROM THE WAR DEPARTMENT OF THE CHARACTER OF THE WORK COM« PLAINED OF BY EX-SECRETARY WELLES, ‘ WaAsuinaron, Sept. 7, 1875. Recently, it will be remembered, ex-Secretary’ Welles, in defending the memory of Admiral Farragut, alluded to the “Chronological Record’? published by the War Department, and purporting to give a record of all the events of the war, as incorrect and incomplete, General Vincent says the work referred to was printed exclusively for the convenience of clerks in the Was Department; that it is not complete, and no pretension was ever made to that effect, Moreover, it is so stated on the cover of every copy printed, and that it is not to be loaned or allowed to pass out of the possession of the clerk having charge of the division. ‘There was no intention of doing injustice to the memory of Farragut, and army officers say that if Mr. Welles has a copy of the « rd’? it certainly has the explanation printed on the cover, and they do not consider it fair to arraygn, the War Department for the inaccuracy complained of, ATTEMPTED MURDER AND SUICIDE, Dover, N. H., Sept. 7. 1875, Frank Calbath, formerly a member of the Legislature, made an attempt to shoot his wife at Middleton last night, but was disarmed. This morning he was found in his room with his throat cut, but the suicidal efforg was a failure, Jealousy and liquor were the causes, THE SHOEMAKERS’ STRIKE, Boston, Mass. Sept. 7, 1875, The strike of the shoemakers in Cochituate still continues and the employés of every firm in the vile lage except one are idle. Ata meeting of the employéa of Natick, Cochituate and otber places last night it wag decided to make no compromise with the mauufag turers and to establish a protective union, DISEASE AMONG THE CATTLE, Burvato, N. ¥., Sept. 7, 1875. It is reported that a peculiarly destructive disease, the symptoms of which are similar to those of the epizootic among horses, has broken out among cattle grazing in this and adjoining sections. A number hava died and many are affected by the epidemic, A SICK MAN DROWNED. As the ferryboat Hoboken-was leaving the slip at Hos boken at a quarter past six o’clock yesterday morning, and proceeding to Barclay street, an unknown man who had gone on board climbed over the front gate and sat on the deck, letting his legs hang over the edge, After afew minutes he seemed to get sick, and to retain his balance with aifficulty, ‘The pilot was about to call the passengers’ attention to him, when the stranger toppled overboard, The engine was reversed, but not before the boat had passed entirely over him. One of the hands on a passing tugboat saw the man rise to the surface, and thrust outa pole with a hook to grapple his clothing with, He succeeded 1n attaching the hook to his coat collar, but the cloth was soon torn, and tho man sunk beneath the waves. His hat, a soft blacke one, was fished up and taken to the ferry house as a possible means of identification, The deceased wag dressed jn a full black suit, and as far as could be ascers tained was middle-aged, THE SKIN THAT IS AFFLICT: WITH SAL? theum, the iteh or other eruption, promptly health'and softness under the purifying and emollient -intlue ence of GLENN'S SULPHUR Soar, which is indorsed by the mefical fraternity, Depot, CRITTENTON'S, No. 7 Sixth avenue.
