THE MINERS’ TRIAL. It is under- PARKS ENTERS UPON HIS DEFENCE—HIS SAY- INGS AND DOINGS EXPLAINED—MR. SHILLING- FORD'S TESTIMONY. Cimanrimxp, Pa, Oct, 5, 1875. In the Siney trial both sides closed their testimony to-day. The entire morning was occupied by Parks in a detailed history of his sayings and doings while in the region and his denial of having suggested or committea violence, explaining that his remarks about newcomers losing their scalps, lives &c., had reference to the prob- ability of their being killed in the mines through their own want of skill; and his remark to Captain Clark, that his shroud was prepared, and similar expressions, were made in reply to @ taunt by the latter, and had no connection with the strike, Ho had on several occa- sions been arrested by special policemen without a warrant, Mr. H. H. Shillingford was called by the Common- wealth, and testified on the part of the operators that, atthe time of the reduction to fifty cents, no agree- ment was known to him to pay an advance when the effects of the pamic were removed, as claimed by the men. Other witnesses weroexamined In rebuttal of specific proot by the defence. The argument to the jury began this evening. ion. George R. Barrett, for the defence, referred to © case as defining the issue in the coming contest be- tween capital and labor; on one side seven powerful corporations being combined in the prosecution, and on the other an association of miners to secure for their labor a fair reward. The canses and orderly character of the strike and its legality under the act of 1872 were commented upon, as also the failure to show ‘any combination by Siney or Parks to form a conspiracy, or that they over joined the strike, or that either joined in the riot at Goss Run, but on the contrary contrib- uted to insure that sobriety and order which charac- terized the movement. Some of the witnesses for the Commonwealth were severely criticised, MEETING OF RAILROAD CREDITORS. REPORT OF THE CONSOLIDATED EUROPEAN AND NORTH AMERICAN RAILROAD COMPANY—NET EARNINGS FoR 1874, $334,830—a pivipEND OF FOUR AND A HALF PER CENT TO BE PAID. Bangor, Me., Oct. 5, 1875. At a meeting of the creditors of the Consolidated Eu- ropean and North American Railroad Company, the committee submitted a report showing the total indebtedness of the road to be $7,372,704 95, and the net carnings for 1874 to be 830, a sum sufficient to pay four and one-half per cent on this entire indebtedness, They estimate that $600,000 can bo realized from the sale of lands and other property of the company to reduce said indebted- ness, The committee have obtained the consent of the stockholders to transfer a controlgng interest in the road to the creditors, they to organize and take control and devote tne net earnings of the road for three years to necessary repairs and improvements and the payment of such debts as are required to prevent the sacritice of prop- erty, the balance to be devoted to the payment of the floating debt with certain restrictions, and to extend payment of the principal of the floating debt six years with interest. They likewise propose to the holders of funded debt to bond half their coupons, giving certiti- cates of indebtedness for the same, the coupons to be held uA, the trustees and cancelled when the certificates are pai The report was accepted, and resolutions wore ado} y the meeting embodying the main features of the report, that the road be conveyed to the creditors in trust for four years, and that if the road pay in the meantime certain mentioned debts, amounting to $60,000, the erediters shall reconvey the road to the stockhokters, otherwise the property to become the | absolute possession of the creditors. ‘Agreed to by tho Committee of Creditors, the Com- mittoe of the International Railroad Construction and Transportation Company, and by the trustees of sakl company. ‘A meeting of the bondhollors will be held October 19, THE EVENING WEATHER REPORT.

FINDING OF THE DISSEVERED HEAD—ARREST OF THE SUPPOSED MURDERER—AN ATTEMPT TO LYNCH HIM FRUSTRATED — EXCITEMENT AMONG THE PEOPLE. Coxcorp, N. H., Oct. 5, 1875. The eearch for the head of the Langmade girl at Pembroke was renewed this morning, and resulted in its being found about oue hundred rods frori where the body was discovered. It was enveloped in a shaw! which tho girl had worn, One ear was gone, the face blackened and bruised and one side of the skull broken in. In the edge of the woods was found a stake broken in two places, with which she had evidently been struck, and afterward dragged into the woods where the head was severed from the body. AKREST OF SUSPECTED PARTIES. The officers and authorities of the town, believing the utmost vigilance should be used in the attempt to discover the murderer, have determined to arrest every suspected party. The first arrested was W. Drow, living # mile or more from Mr, Langmade’s. He 1s a middle-aged man, having @ family. From circumstances which it would not be prudent to make public now suspicion has fallen on this man. ‘This forenoon he was found to be absent, and Officer Hildreth, with a posse, started out to arrest him. Ho was found in Hooksett, on foot, walking, as he said, to Manchester, He was taken by the offlcers, but made a desperate resistance, From Hooksett he was conveyed to the lockup at Sunoook. THREATS OF LYNCHING, On arriving there the excited crowd gathered round the oflicers clamoring for Drew and gaying they would lynch him, The police wore obliged to surround the prisoner, with revolvers drawn, in order to protect him from the excited throng, Officer Hildreth made somo discreet remarks to the crowd, saying thero was not sufficient proof as yet to con- vict Mr. Drew, and that it was the duty of himself and his assistants to protect the prisoner. Drew was then committed to the lockup, and the building is now protected by a body of armed police. DRRW’S ACCOUNT OF HIMSELF. Drew’s stories as to his whereabouts are conflicting. One statement he makes is that he wont to London with a team to carryaman, But it cannot be ascer- tained who the passenger was or where Drew got a horse, as he does not own a team. Again, ho says ho was at work in the forenoon laying stone wall with his father, If this last statement be true it can bo easily proven, The arrested man had relatives and friends in Concord who are unwilling to believe him to be guilty. UNDER SURVEILLANCE, A negro who has been of late in the vicinity is under surveillance and will probably be arrested, POPULAR PEELING throughout this vicinity is very intense, It is believed at least a thousand persons aro engaged in varfous ways in search and investigation. They are at work in many different places, not only at Buckstreet but at Pembroke and Suncook.’ It is thought if there “should bo found sufficient proof against Drew or any other per- son tho police would be powerless to provent summary vengeance being moted out at the hands of the people. ‘The excitement over in Concord is very great, and all the forenoon groups of men have been collected on Main street discussing the tragedy and seeking the latest information received at the police headquarters or brought in by reporters or others from Suncook. A regiment of men could easily be raised to come to Pembroke at a moment's notice, if their ser- vices could be of any avail in furthering ‘the cause of justice, ‘The Langmade family have the fullest sympathy of the entire community in their present distross. THE MISSISSIPPI TROUBLES. PROBABLE COLLISION BETWEEN THE WHITES AND BLACKS IN COAHOMA €OUNTY—BOTH PARTIES ARMED AND RSCEIVING REINFORCEMENTS— NON-COMBATANTS LEAVING THE SCENE. Heuena, Ark., Oct. 5, 1875. A great deal of excitement exists here on account of tho negro troubles at Friar’s Point, a small town in Coahoma county, Mississippi, about fifteen miles below here, on the Mississippi River. ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLES, Parties from there to-day on the steamer Phil Allen, state that the troubles grew out of tho fact that Gov- ernor Alcorn, in a public speech, denouncea one Brown, the negro Sheriff of Coahoma county, as a dofaulter. General Chalmers and Governor Alcorn, in command of about 200 whites, are in possession of the town. Four or five hundred negroes were there this morning drill- ing and parading. THE NEGROES ORDERED TO LEAVE, Chalmers met them and ordered them to leave, giv- ing them ten minutes to do so, The negroes fell back one mile out of town, where they are hourly recetving reinforcements. AN ATTACK BXPECTED, ‘The whites expect an attack to-night, though their numbers are small and they are poorly armed. The whites, regardless of party, aro united. LADIES LEAVING THE SCENE. Several ladies came up hero to-day to escape the dan- ger of a fight, and wo hear of parties throughout Coahoma county fleeing across the river to Arkansas, REINFORCEMENT POR THE WHITES, Several parties have gone from this place to join Chalmers and Alcorn. A call for men, arms and am- munition was received by tho Allin to-day. A com- pany is now boing raised here to leave to-night on the forryboat Red Rover. A letter was receivod here at cight P, M. from Governor Alcorn, begging for aastst- ance, as the negroes are gaining in numbers, He men- tions no collision as yet. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Memrurs, Tonn., Oot. 5, 1815. The folloging private telegram was received from Heiena, Ark., this morning:— “Nogroes threaten to burn Friar’s Point, Mies., to- day, Several whites from there reached this placo ot two o'clock this morning for arms and assistance. A great many men have just left (OF Friar’s Point, and many more are ready to go if needed. Serious trouble is an- tictpated.”” A gentleman from Friar’s Point gives the following statement in regard to THE CONDITION OF AFFAIRS, Brown, the colored Sheriff, who is a candidate for ro, election, camo to Memphis last week and purchased a considerable quantity of ammunition, which he took to | Priar’s Point and distributed among his friends, On Saturday night the Democratic Convention was held there, and a ticket nominated in opposition to the ticket headed by Brown, Senator Alcorn being present was called upon for a spoceh, to which he responded, and in the courso of his remarks criticised Brown’s offictal caroer in a sovere manner. Brown, who was presont, became much excited, and demanded the privilege of replying, but Judge Rex, chairman, fearing bloodshed, adjourned the meeting, Brown then announced that ho would call a meeting on Monday night, and it is sup- posed the troubles grow out of this meeting last night THE §HESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAIL- ROAD.

MISTAKEN FOR A DRUNKARD. A WEALTHY COTTON PLANTER PICKED UP BY THE POLICE, LODGED IN A CELL AND TAKEN OUT DEAD—HE HAD FALLEN ON THE ROAD FROM EXHAUSTION AND WAS INSENSIBLE. Sr, Louis, Oct, 5, 1875. Mr. R. E. Hynson, said to bo a wealthy cotton planter of Alexandria, La. was found near the Pacific depot last evening im a helpless condition. He was taken to the calaboose and placed in acell, under the suspicion that he was intoxicated. At about midnight some gentlemen called at the police station and in- quired for him, and when upon going to the cell to bring him out he was found dead on the floor. Coroner Dudley examined the body and gave the opinion that death was caused by heart disease, It appears that Mr, Hynson came up from the South to visit his daughters, residing a few miles from this city, and when found was very ill instead of intoxicated, - Being unable to get on the train. at the depot, he had lain down near by and was insensible when taken up by the police, AMUSEMENTS. OPENING OF WALLACK’S THEATRE—‘‘THE OVER- LAND ROUTE.” The opening of Wallack’s Theatre for the soason ig always an evont of the greatest dramatic significance, and annually brings togothor all that is distingyished in. fiterafaya, li art aad tii politics, Laat night, which was the first of the present dramatic year, was no exception, The house every part, and even when the doors opened it was already impossible to secure places. On every hand were the distinguished citizens and the leaders of society who for so many years have resorted to this theatre and lent it ther sanction as the first in the land. When tho curtain roso a brilliant audience had assembled to welcome the old favorites back to the familiar boards, and ,to offer the newcomers a kindly greeting The piece choson to begin the season was Tom Taylor’s comedy-drama, “The Overiand Route,” which was frst produced in this country at tho old theatre at Broome street and Broadway sixteen years ago. Most of tho theatre-goers of to-day failed to witness those representations, or have only a dim recollection of them, so that its nt preduction cannot be re- garded any way in the light ofa revival. The drama, being new to most of those who witness it now the in- terest ia it is new also, Even tho plot is as fresh as if it was produced for the first time. The action takes place on the Peninsular and Oriental steamship Simoom during tho voyage from Aden to Suez The story is a very simple one, and the comedy turns upon in tho old beaux Sir Frazee and Mr. Colepepper, to whom the fact that she woman has not been communicated, ‘Tom Dexter, the adventurer of the piece, is aware of the existence of Jack Seabright, and though always per- forming acts which entitle him to respect ho uses this knowledge for his own selfish and wicked pur- ‘As a.counterplot Mr. and Mrs, Lovibond, who ave becn se} for years, accidentally sail on tho game ship. rs. Lovibond fs proposed to by Major McTurk, but is reconciled to her husband, who 1s com- pelled to discover himself on account of having been ar- rested as one Thomas Downey, There areothor characters and other love scenes, all of which reached their climax with the burning of ‘the ship, when the curtain falls upon the second act, The scene of the third act is oa an island in the Red Sea, where the tangled threads of the story ore all unravelled and overything ends happily. It will be percerwed that the drama is a most felicitous one, and it presents many effective situations, as well as affords great scope for scenic display. Tho scenery, as the play is now ted, is in every way worthy of tho cast and the theatre, and the magnificent quarter deck of the Simoon must be regarded as one of the most effective pieces of scenio art and stage attraction which have beeu seen in this city in many years. We turn from these considerations to the rep- resentation of the drama as it was presented at this model theatre last night. The piece as it was acted at Wallack's Inet night bad many points of interest. There was the yoteran of the Wallackian stage, Mr. John Gilbert, who played Sir Solomon Frazer with that inimitable grace which he infuses into all is parts and which gives beauty and ness even to those things which would be angularity and awkwardness in anothor. His Sir Solomon was a well rounded pertorm- ance and its perfection was illustrated and eubanced by the Mr. Colepepper of Mr. W. Herbert. The lattor was & complete foil to Mr. Gilbert's “diplomatist’ and the Lint Bao old beaux bate the centre of the attract in spate, too, of the irre sistible humor of Mer Barey Betzee Lovibond, The last named part is one which 80 many ele. monts of burlesque that Mr. Beckett could not fail to make it exocedingty funny, and be earned a recall in his first scene by the excellence of his counterfest mal demer. In the more pathetic but scarcely less humor- ous scenes of the second act he was almost equally ef- fective, and he bas added a new triumph to which went before, The Major McTurk of Mr. J. W.

Pattison gave the first of his course of leo tures on “Music and Its Great Composers,” at Asso- ciation Hall last night. He was greeted by a very large audience and as much interest was manifested in what he said as in what ho did. The title of last night’s lec- ture was “‘Muste as Illustrated by the Great Masters,”” and it was delivered in coniormity to the following pro- gramme:—L Grand Fugue in & minor, Handel; 2 Sonate Quasia una fantasie, op, 27, “Moonlight,” Beethoven; 3 “La Campanelia,’’ Liszt; 4 “Noc- turne,” op. 37, “March — Funebre 5 Boliens, — Gottschalk ; ‘Chopin; 5, Murmurs 6, American Rhapsodie, J. N. Pattison. Mr. Pattison intro- duced each of the items on the programme with a fow brief remarks concerging its author, and then proceeded with an interpretation on the instrument, His consummate art in the manipulation of the piano called forth loud and. prolonged applause, and twice the lecturer was compelled to respond to an encore. Mr. Pattison’s next lecture will be on Gotts- chalk, on which occasion only the works of the Ameri- can author will be intorpreted. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC NOTES.

Gounod is writing an qpera, to be called “Henri UL,” the libretto of which is taken from Alexandre Dumas’ drama, Drs. F. W. Lander (Jean Davenport) has written a play called “Edge Tools,” It is of the romantic school and is described as possessing much literary merit. “Queen Mary,” as it is played at the Arch Street Theatre, Philadelphia, is not a gfeat dramatic success. The general opinion in regard to the poem is that it has not made an effective drama, The Princess Mathilde heard Judic at Enghein the other Sunday, and was so charmed with the singing of the diva that she presented the prima donna with a pearl brooch set with diamonds. M, Claretie, who is Sardou’s rival, feels flatterca when he is compared with Camille Desmoulins, and he has been known to sing the ‘“Marseillaise” while as- suming the pose attributed to Rouget de Lisle.

The troubles in Hanson place Baptist church, Brooklyn, are, or at least ought to be, at an end now, henceforth and forever. In accordance with a call previously issued a charch moeting of all the members, young and old, was hold last might. Dr. Fulton himself acted as moderator, and Mr. Georgo F. Moss, the church clerk, acted as secretary. The Doctor read a hymn, which was sung by the congregation, and a lesson, and offered prayer, and then stated the business of tho meeting, which was called to sustain or not sustain bim in the pastorate. Mr. Bill thereupon offered a resotu- tion, in substance saying that his ministry was an in- Jary to tho church and the society would gladly dis- pense with it Mr. Bill and Mr. Nearing earnestly ad- vocated the resolution, but Messrs, Heaney, Thurlow and Betts opposed it, and as carnestly indorsed the gifts, grace and usefuleness of Dr. Fulton, Alderman Richardson made an address on both sides or neither side, designed $0 throw oil on tho troubled waters and to harmonize in some respects the conflicting elements. Mr, A. F. Larned, without making an address, raised many points of order, and frequently interrupted and contradicted the Doctor. Some attempts were made to bring the personal character into the contro- versy, but his triends and himself were on tho alert to such tendencies, After 4-GOOD DEAL OF DISCUSSION a vote was taken on the resolution It was ‘lost by o rising vote of many, and mutierings were heard that this would not be the last of it.
