Moukhtar Pacha Contents Himself with a Drawn Battle. PROBABLY A SEVERE DEFEAT. Prince Nikita Declares This Year's Campaign in Montenegro at an End. [BY caznz To THE HERALD, Lonpon, Oct. 5, 1877. Moukhtar Pacha telegraphs to Constanti- nople a long account of Wednesday’s battle, which appears to have been indecisive. He ays his outposts withdrew from Great Kanilar, which is probably the position tho capture of which by General Melikoff was described in a special from Karajal yester- day. The Russian attacks on Little Kanilar and Kizil-Tepe were unsuccessful, 4 DRAWN BATTLE. On the right, the Turks being threatened by six battalions, assumed the offensive. They stormed Gladi-Dagh, and after five hours’ fighting pursued the Bussians to Arpatchai, Night stopped the conflict. Both sides maintained their positions. Mouhktar Pacha estimates the Russian loss at 5,000. he Turkish loss is unknown, Fazli Pacha was wounded. MOUKETAR DOES NOT CLAIM A VICTORY, There was no fighting on Thursday, ex- cept near Karajal, of which the despatch gives no details. The rumor that two Rus- sian Generals were killed is unfounded. The Porte, in a despatch to its representa- tives abroad, claims that Moukhtar gained an overwhelming victory. RUSTCHUK SUFPERS ANOTHER SHELLING. A renewed bombardment by the Russian batteries at Giurgevo has inflicted enormous damage upon the town of Rustchuk. A great proportion of the houses are in utter ruins. Only afew remain‘entire.

BN ROUTE TO THE FRONT. Itis announced trom Constantinople that Sulei- man Pacha has arrived at Rasgrad. GERMANY AND TURKISH MASSACRES. Trusty reports from Berlin state that by Empe- Tor William’s special orders @ note has been sent to Constantinople, very earnestly urging that the principles of humanity shall be no longer violated, The note does not exactly threaten the Turks, but leaves no doubt of the high indignation felt, and that the German govérnment does not intend silently and indirferently to look on. CAMPAIGN OVER IN MONTENEGRO. The Vienna Zagblatt has a Cettinje despatch, saying:—“The Prince of Montenegro has decided to consider this year’s campaign termivated with the occupation of the district ot Banjani. The Prince had written the Czar that he had succeeaed in obtaining his principal object—namely, the deliverance of the Population of Upper Herzegovina, and did not in- nd to go beyond the Banjani country. The Prince concluded with a request that the Czar would, in the event of the conclusion of peace, use his ef- forts to bring about the incorporation of the district of Banjani into Montenegro.” CARDOZO IN JAIL BETURN OF ONE OF THE SOUTH CAROLINA CAL- PET-BAGGERS AND HIS ARREST.

SIMON’S MRALTH, M, Jules Simon /s pronounced out of danger, ‘THR MIDLAND RAILWAY FRAUDS, Yesterday morning’s papers published numerous conflicting statements concerning the frauds on the Midian Railway. The truth seems to be that Wednes- day’s announcements wero highly colored. Some workmen employed in the construction of the Sel and Carlislo branch of tho Midland Raflway appropri- ated the company’s materials, made faise revurns of the number of men under them and the amount of service rendered, and induiged in other fraudulent practices; but the amount involved is not largo and much of it will probably be recovered. Throe of the delinquents were arraigned at the Settie retty Ses- sions on Wednesday aud remanded. They appear to be foremon of working gangs. The reports of the pro coedings stated that Several more of the company’s servants were to be arraigned belore the Carlisio magistrates yesterday, FATAL SHUOLING AFFRAY. CentRat City, Dakota, Oct 4, 1877, A fatal shooting affray occurred here this afternoon, Jobo 8. Bryant, owning @ placer ciaim bere, claimed the suriace ground of his claim as a mill site, A, W.

A lotter dated Havana, September 29, 1877, says:— “Captain General Jovellar, who bad left on Saturday last for Cardenas, returned next day, accompanied by General Martinez Campos, when a state dinner was given to the latter at the summer residence of Jqvellar. Immediately afterward a rumor ran through the whole town that Campos’ arrival here signified that « treaty of peace was to be arrauged between the Spaniards and the insurgents. The rumor ts no doubt true as far as the desire of both parties to come to terms is concerned, {thas been said that the King hes given his private orders to the generals here to make peace on any terms, which he wishes to have consolidated before his marriago takes place in the beginning of next year. Again, many Cubans confess that they are hemmed in on all sides, and that resist- ance on their part is becoming to be a very hard task. The number of insurgents offering to return to the authority of the Spanish government has been mucn larger during this month than at any time previous Peace would be received with great rejoicings by all parties.” FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENTS, TWO LADIES AND A CHILD KILLED ON THE BOSTON AND ALBANY ROD.

The rain which has so anxiously been expected came yesterday with a vengeance, and tne watersheds of Weatchester and Long Islana, trom which this city and Brooklyn draw their supplies of the life-giving fluid, were more than supplied, 0 that all fears of a water famine are now removed. During the afternoon tho drizzle did not deter the fair sex irom their annual pil- grimage to the prominont dry goods stores which had advertised ‘openings, ” As night drew ou, however, and the wind rose and the rain foll with increasing force, pedestrians were reduced in numbers, until the flerceness of the storm compelled all to remain indoors but those whose busi- ness would not allow them that privilege. The streeta became foaming torrents, and wherever the culverts had not been recently cleaned a flood was the result, crosswalks and pavement disappearing beneath the muddy tido, Along West and South streets the high tide in con- janction with tho heavy rain flooded tho cellars, the morchants as far back as Greenwich aud Washington streets on the West side, and up to Front on tho East aide losing considerable on the stock etored therein, Trafic on the street railroads was impeded, and the hack drivers, 10 despair, withdrew trom their stands out of considers tion tor their live stock. ‘The shipping along tho river, so far as known, did not sustain much damage beyond chafing agaiust the docks from the roughness of the water, but the ferryboats found much difficulty in making their crossings, so violent wel tho wind and water, In the suburbs the storm blockaded business and travel, and people who reached home before it had attained its height felt happy in the thought otf what they had escaped, The nigbt mail trains were all delayed tor two or three hours, especially those from tho South and West, and, no doubt, the morning will teem with disasters irom the flood of the night, The heavy rain and high tide caused considerabio trouble in Williamsburg. On North Second street, between Eighth atrect and Union avenue, the water ‘was 80 deep that it reached the top of the seats In the street cars. In the regions bordering on South Fourth street, from Fifth to Union avonue, wll the cellars and a number of first floors were flooded, while the locality known as the “Swamp,’’ Including the upper sections of the Nineteenth and Sixteenth wards, were also laid under wator, demonstrating clearly the absolute ne- cossity of the storm sewers that have beon asked for so strenuously during the past two years, A FIRE CAUSRD BY WATRR. Tho Locust Hill O11 Works, at North Tonth and Fifth streets, Williameburg, caught fre at nine o’elock last night. The works are situated upon Bushwick Creek, which has been flooded for oral days with heavy tides, Last night the yard was overflown and also the cellar in which the furnaces are kept, The immediate cause of the conflagration was the ignition of oil floating upon the suriace of the water at the times the furnaces were put out by the overflow. The blaze spread to the fires undor the stills and then to the filling house. Despite the persistent efforts of the firemen the large tanks wero ablaze at eleven o'clock. The damage will proba- bly reach $16,000, Tho amount of insurance could Bot be ascertained, as it was impossible to find either Mr. Hogg or Mr. O'Donnell, the proprietors, in tho storm. IN NEWARK.

In those parts of the city adjacent to the meadows, and even in the heart of the town, cellars wero flooded and sewers bursty Street crossings were rendered impassable in numerous instances, Court street and other steep graded thoroughfares running dowa from High street wore turned into beds for mountain torrents. The water pourea down Mill Crook in great volumes, tearing away the large sewer in course of construc- tion at the corner of Broad and Clay streets and tnjar- Ing the horse car track ou Broad strect so that trafic had to be suspended, The damage done to othor sowers 18 vory great, THE STOKM ALONG THE HUDSON.
