MURDER IN ALABAMA. AND AN UNEXPECTED FISTOL PURSUIT OF THE MU DONNYBROOK AFFAIR IN AN ALTERCATION SHOT—-ESCAPE AND DERER—A SPECIMEN THE SOUTH. ABBEVILLE, Ala., Nov, 12, 1878. Quite a tragedy was enacted one mile from this quiet little village this morning about nine o'clock. Asturdy Gérman from the Rhine settled in this county a number of years ago, married an Irish wo- man and raised four boys, all of whom are grown, and three of them married, ‘They all live in this vi- cinity and are hard working laboring men, noted for their pluck at the plough handles and ina ‘‘free fight.” ‘This morning Fred and Henry, the older two of the the sons, and Pat, the youngest, were ginning cotton at a gin owned by the father, and were being assisted by James Hudspeth, a young man of about twenty-five years of age, who is a quarrelsome char- acter and a bad citizen generally. About that hour an altercation arose between Hudspeth and Henry Ar- nold, when the latter said :—- “You have been telling lies about me, and I want you to quit it.” THE SHOOTING. A few words passed between them) when Arnold started up a ladder into the gin room, and which is about fifteen feet long. Hudspeth was in the door of the gin house, at the head of the ladder, and as Ar- nold was climbing up he drew a pistol, saying, “Stand back or I'll shoot.” “Well, shoot if you want to,” replied Arnold, still climbing up ‘the lad- der; and the words were scarcely ont of his mouth when the crack of the pistol rang out on the clear, crisp air, and Arnold fell heavily from the lad- der, shot in the body between the neck and point of the shoulder, the ball ranging downward into his body. As he fell Fred and Pat ran to him, and before they could recover from their surprise Hudspeth ran to the back of the gin house, and, jumping through a rear window, fled through the dense forest in the rear, The brothers took Henry up and carried him toa house near by and assistance was summoned, PURSUIT OF MURDERER. Ax soon ag others came the brothers scattered in pursuit of Hudspeth. Jacob Arnold, another one of them, procured a double barrelled shotgun and steal- ing rapidly through the dense undergrowth placed himeelf in anna near Hudspeth’s that the latter would go that way fied the country, to get a coat, as he was without one when the shooting occurred. Fred Arnold dashed into town on horseback, procured a pistol and. sum- moned the Sherift, who is a slow going old gentleman of about sixty years of age, and tne two set out to join the others md scour the neighborhood in quest of twenty minutes past two o'clock this after- noon, and were enthusiastically received by immense crowds. Several per- sons in the Strada Carbonara pre- sented a petition to Their Majesties. A man at this moment rushed upon the King with a dagger, and succeeded in inflicting @ scratch upon his left arm and slightly wounding Signor Cairoli in the left thigh. “"" CAPTURING THE ASMASSIN, “The King displayed great coolness and struck the assassin on the head with his sword. Signor Cairoli seized him by the hair. The assassin was immediately taken to the guardhouse. The Queen and the Prin- cess Royal, Victor Emmanuel, Ferdinand- Marie-Junvier, who were in the carriage with the King, displayed much courage. HIS NAME. “The assassin’s name is Giovanni Pas- sanante. He says he does not like kings.” REJOICING IN ROME. Fifty thousand persons, with flags and bands of music, are assembled on the Corso, in Rome, to-night to manifest their joy at the escape of the King. Another demon- stration has been made before the house of the Syndic. ‘The crowds everywhere demand prompt justice. Ihe Austrian embassy is illuminated, and the crowd cheered the Ambassador.

Humbert-Rénier-Charles. manuel-Jean-Marie-Fer- dinand-Eugéne, second child and first son of the late King Victor Emmanuel IL, ascended the throne on January 19, 1878, as Hambert I, He waa born March 14, 1844, and is, therefore, in his thirty-ffth year. Prior to his accession he bore the title of Prince of Piedmont, and held the rank of lieutenant general. He was married on April 22, 1868, to Marie-Marguer- ite-Thérese-Jeanne, hereditary princess of Savoy, who was born November 20, 1851. PREVIOUS ATTACKS UPON AND ASSASSINATIONS OF MONARCHICAL AND REPUBLICAN RULERS AND MEMBERS OF THE NOBILITY, There have been twenty-eight attempts on the lives of royal personages and rulers during the last thirty years, The Duke of Modena, attacked in 1868; the Crown Prince of Prussia (now Emperor William), at | Minden, in June 18; the late King of Prussia in 1852; Queen Victoria (by an ex-lieutenant) in 1862; an infernal machine discovered at Marseilles on Na- poleon IIL.'s yisit in 1852; Emperor of Austria, slightly wounded by Libenyez (# Hungarian), in 1433; attack on King Vietor Emmanuel in 1453; on Napoleon IIL, opposite the Opéra Comique, in 1853; Duke of Parma mortally stabbed in 184; Napoleon IIL. fired at by Pianori in the Champa Elysées in 1866; attack | on Queen Isabella (of Spain) by Fuentes in 1856; King | Ferdinand, of Naples, stabbed by Milano, a soldier, in 1856; conspiracy against Napoleon III. by threo Italians in 1857; the Orsini plot against Napoleon III, in 1868; King of Prussia twice fired at, but not hit, by the student, Beker, at Baden, in 1861; Queen of Greece shot at by the student Brusios in 1862; another con- Hadepeth. Late inthe afternoon the Sheriff returned, not having seen anything of the fugitive, nor has anything been heard of him since he disappeared in the forest im rear of the gin house. The Arnold brothers are prosecuting the search, and from their chavyacter will tuke the law into their own hands and administer the tez talionis if they find him. Hudspeth is aware of his danger and probably will not stop run- ning till he reaches Texas—the refuge of all the fugi- tive criminals from this section--he having once lived in that State. He and Arnold both have fami- lies. SKETCH O¥ THE VICTIM. Henry Arnold is well known throughout this coun- try as first class ata “free fight.” He is of medium size, stout, thirty years of age, and when in his fa- yorite pastime—a fight—exhibits the ruling traits of his dual lineage, Dutch-Lrish. goes into a fight with the zest of Pat O’Moore, at Donnebrook Fair, and when he gets in he stays with the pertinacity and bull-dog energy of his Teutonic blood. Last spring, when t! Chik jerers were execute] here, the *%oys” had a “field day,” and scored some thirty fights, in several of which Henry Arnold was & participant. After it was all over and some doz%a men had heads ‘aved in” with sticks Henry wen? up toa young lawyer, with whom he was particularly trvendly, and asked what he thought the Grand Jury wou'd do with them at its uext session, adding :— “T don't think they Ought to bother us boys; we wore just having a little tun among ourselves and didn’t bother any one else.” He then had a gash on his head, cut with a stick, two inches long, ina blow that felled him to the ground, a number of other smaller cuts and ugly bruises ‘too numerous to men- tion,” and blood from the top of his heal down to his fect. But he has probably fought his last fight, as he is bieeding, pale and exhausted,Jat his home, with small prospect of recovery. FATAL STABBING AFFRAY. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] WHEELING, W. Va., Nov. 17, 1878, One of the most outrageous stabbing affrays oc- curred in thre southern section of this city last night that has ever been perpetrated here. The trouble arose between two young men named Franz Ho- brecht and Ed. Kiger at a disreputable club house, where a large nun'ber of young men are wont to con- gregate on Saturday night to drink beer. Kiger be- gan the row with a boy named Elder, stabbing him in the hand with a four inch blade, when Hobrecht in- terfered and received a death wound in his left side between the seventh and eighth ribs, Both Hobrecht and Kiger are nineteen years old, The murderer is still at large.

THE GEORGIA STATESMAN ON THE RECENT ELEC- TIONS—A REMINISCENCE BY WAY OF ILLUSTRA- TION—PROSPECTS OF THE DEMOCRACY FOR 1880—THY SOUTHERN POLICY. [by TELEGRAPH 10 THE HERALD.) Wasurxeron, Nov. 17, 1878. In answer to the question to-day what, in his belief, had been the effect of the money issue in the recent campaign upon the Northern democracy, Mr. Alex- ander H. Stephens said:—“I really do not believe that the money issue direct had anything more to do with the loss of Connecticut, New Jersey and New York than did the famous Kansas bill have the effect sup- posed at the time on the elections of 1854, That year we came out of the fight with only sixty-seven ¢ gressmen left, and it was feared all through the South that the party had lost because of the passage of the Kansas bill, which left it optional with the citizens of Kansas, then a Terri- tory, whether or not they would admit slavery into their constitution, Howell Cobb was're- turned to Congress, but he, like all th» rest, was rather fenf.1 of the election for President, thinking this a tilel wave, Ilmghed at them all. I well re- member a mceting we had right here in town. It was the fir.t time Thad ever acted with the democray, ‘They laid their views down and I disagree’, It scemed to me that it was al smoke, and so I ventured to pre- dict that if they would come out boldly and maintain | the correctness of the primeiple embodied in the { Kansas bill, namely, that c:ch State and Territory should be left to make its own laws, thoy would e‘ect their President.’ My advice was taen and Buchanan went in. But the party was panic stri-ken over that affa’r, just as it is now atout the financial issue. Whea I went into Penusylvania to stump for Bu- chantn, Josiah Randall, the present Spe tker’s father, importuncd me not to give vent to any views in favor of the Kansas bill, But I told him that I would speak my mind or say nothing. He consented finally, and | the audience wes in full sympathy. We carried the State.” THE CURRENCY QUESTION, “What, then, do you think the trouble?’ “Well, it is really very difficult to tell. It seems to me very foolish to make any predictions as to 1880, cither as to candidate or issuce, because there is every probability that new subjects will be presented. Iam very sure that the money question in its present shape will be dead, My own views are positive enough. I belive in honest money and plenty of it. At present we evidently have not enough for the demands of trade—not enough to start up the industries of the country. I think it would have been wise for the House to have passed the bill we matured in the Com- mittee of Coinage, Weights and Measures, which pro- vided for the issue of silver certificates to be used in the place of bullion. We cannot turn out the bullion fast enough. ‘Three more mints are required, France to-day is the best fiscal nation on earth, because she neyer allows the currency to fall short of demand. As to resumption, b very much fear that after January 1, 1879, we shall be like the man operated on for a fever, the fever went, but the man was dead. THE PROSPECTS FOR 1880, «What of 1880, then, Mr. Stephens ?° “Well, we need two things--more leaders, or rather better ones, and a perfectly national spirit. We are not able at present to the roll of our great men Thave been many years in pub- lic life and have seen the rise and fall of many emi- nent public men and as I look back I am forced to confess that almost the only great leader the de- mocracy has had was Stephen A. Douglas. Silas Wright was avery capable sort of wheel ho Douglas had the brains. If the platform for carefully drawn and an excelont aud national spirite. man nominated I see no reason why the democracy THE PRESIDENTS POLICY. “What do you think of these reports of a change in the President's policy In my opinion they are nonsense. There is no such “word as “policy.” It is the President’s busi- ness and bounden duty to administer the laws of the country, nothing more. Ido not see how his pres ent position can possibly be construed into any change of policy whatever. If the democrats of the South have been guilty of fraud at the ballot box it ia the President's duty to prosecute each case he can find. There is no policy in that. It is law,” “What is the strength of the independent move- ment in Georgia?’ GEORGIA POLITICS. “The ideas aa to that are very generally wrong. The independence is all confined within the democratic ranks simply as toa choice of men, The represen- tatives we send are all Simon Pure democrats, We shall have a majority of four over all in the uext bis org as I calculate,” “What do you think was the effect of that letter of ements Hill, wherein he attacked the administra- tion?” ‘Senator Hill made a great mistake, and it reacted on the party. Itis very clearly demonstrated that we cannot win by a wholesale assault on the Presi- dent, such as Hill attempted to lead on. Now that we have learned that lesson we must keep down the Hills and Vesa @ mild, conservative policy, and, above all things, be cautious in our legislation.”’ ‘THE SANITARY CONVENTION.

Ricumonp, Va., Nov. 17, 1878. Surgeon General Woodworth, accompanied by Dr. White, of the Marine Hospital service, arrived here last night and has been in consultation with Dr. Cabell, President of the Richmond Board of Health, in reference to thé accommodations of the members of the Sanitary Convention and the arrangements for the holding of its sessions. It is expected that about four hundred of the most distinguished physicians, public spirited citizens and sanitarians of the country will be in attendance. PROGRAMME OF PROCEEDINGS, The asrociation will meet in the House of Dele- gates on Tuesday afternoon, when addresses of wel- come will be made by the Governor, Mayor of the city, President of the Board of Health and others. Surgeon General Woodworth and Dr. Harris, President of the Public Health Association, will respond in be- half of the convention, and there will follow state- ments preparatory to reports on yellow fever. This will conclude the evening's session, and owing to the luck of room in the House of Delegates the conven- tion will adjourn to meet on Wednesday at Mozart Hall, which is more capacious and better adapted to the necessities of the body. THR YELLOW FEVER COMMISSION, Dr. Harris telegraphs that Dr. Mitchell, Medical Director of the Howard Association at Memphis, and Dr. Rodgers and General Smith, Vice President of the Howards of that city, will accompany the Yellow Fever Commission here, The Commission was to have arrived this evening, but in consequence of the recent changes of schedule on the railroads they were detained at some point, and cannot reach bere till to- morrow. Among those who will be present are:—Drs. H. 1 Bowditch, president, and Charles Folsom, sect of the Massachusetts State Board of Health; Dre. Stephen Smith and A. N.

Chancellor, Stewart and Stiner, of Maryland; Drs, Vandeman, Sims and White, of Chatta- nooga, and a number of medical officers of the army and navy and Marine Hospital service, who have been detailed to attend the Convention. THE YELLOW FEVER KPIDRMIC, On Wedneadiy the report of the Commission which has been investigating the history of the yellow fever epidemic will be submitted by Dr. J. W. Woodworth, Surgeon General of the United States Marine Hospital service. Then will follow the reception of other re- ports and records of the epidemic from all sources, reports of epidemics of yellow fever in former years and announcements of contributions of information from the associations, Boards of Health, municipal and other sanitary officers nm various topics not relating to yellow fever. It is anticipated that fully three of the sessions of the Convention will be oecty with the discassions upon the report and body of evidence which the Yellow Fever Commission will submit.

For this purpose Dr. White was deputed to visit some of the intected points, where he made a large number of observations in conjunction with Professor Rich- ardson, of Philadelphia, The couclusions reached, though mainly of a negative character, are full of in- , and will be submitted to the Convention dur- ing the week, DEATH FROM COAL GAs. < Bureato, Nov, 17, 1878.

(BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Wasaixer 17, ¥ The resurrection of William Buder, the Norwegian seaman who was supposed to have been lost on the United States corvette Huron one year ago, is still a theme of wondering talk among the officers and sail- ‘The incident is without a parallel in our naval history, and the circumstances are so extraordinary that his story is yet received | with doubt in some quarters. A private investigation, however, which was made last evening on sudden im- pulse after business hours by the Secretary of the Navy and Commodore Shufeldt, chief of the Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting, settles beyond contro- versy that he is the identical William Buder who en- listed at the Philadelphia Navy Yard in August, 1 and was ordered to the Huron while she was at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in November, 1877. OFFICIAL ACTION TAKEN, It appears that as soon as the’cireumstances nar- rated by Buder yesterday to the commanding officer of the receiviug ship Passaic, at the Navy Yard here, were communicated to the commandant of the yard, the latter addressed a letter to the Secretary of the Navy, setting forth the details of the man’s story. Secretary Thompson, on receipt of the letter, sent for Commodore Shufeldt, in whose bureau t rolls of seamen and their descriptive list; are kept, and asked him: to accompany him to the Washington Navy Yard and overhaul this suspicious individual, whom the records of the Navy Department positively showed was not only lost on the Huron, but was, as far as the inscription on a tombstone testified, buried in the Naval: Cemetery, at Annapolis, The Commo- dore at once had the files of his office searched, a copy of the descriptive list of William Buder made out, as well as the descriptive list of Jesse Roll, the ordinary seaman, who shured with Buder the spar on which both sought to save their lives and which for{u- nately supported Buder for twenty-four hours. With these documents the officials were prepared to deter- mine whether the man who reported was actually William Buder or not. BUDER’S MONEY PAID OUT. It may be said here that there was unusual care taken to ascertain the truth of the man’s statement for the reason that the chief clerk of the Navy De. partment reported to the Secretary, when hé heard of Buder's return, that a man claiming to be the father of this seaman had applied to the department for the back pay, the bounty appropriated by Congress and the proportion of the survivor's fund allotted him, and” had been paid the entire amount, nearly $400, Now, if the department had been imposed upon, as it appeared was the case from Buder's story, might not this man, by personating the reported lost seaman, also lay claim to the inoney already paid to a fraudu- lent claimant ‘8 BU j Secretary Thompson thought dver the particulars of the stealing ot the remains of A. T. Stewart, the object which the perpetrators of the deed undoubtedly had in robbing the tomb, and asked himself was the great government of the United States to be victim- ized by the ingenuity of a crafty sailor, educated per- haps by stories of remarkable criminal deeds into the conviction that he, too, could trade upon a dead man's | to his memory name and occupation? [f this man, who said he was William Buder, was not the seaman who shipped on the Huron, he would claim the sum already disbursed to the putative father. Pondering this problem, the Secretary progeeded directly to the receiving ship Passaic, which is anchored at the lower end of the Navy Yard, and squared himself for a Grst class effort in cross examining the sailor Buder. The afternoon being pleasant, the Secretary con- cluded he would proceed with the investigation on the deck, but before summoning Buder before him he got him to give, a8 nearly as possible, a descrip- tion of the seaman Roll, who Buder said had drifted out to sea on the same apar with him. Comparison with the copy in Commodore Shufeldt’s possession satisfied both the Secretary and the Commodore that Buder was not an impostor. ‘THE EXAMINATION, By this time the officers of the yard and of the receiving ship had congregated on the deck and formed a cordon about the Navy Department officials, A number of blue jacke old salts in ordinary— were assembled about the sides of the vessel, and, with cars hard aport, were taking in the words of their iNust:ious chief, in whom they were not slow to discover that it was true, as of his predecessor, he was @ great constitutional lawyer among sailors. Buder, after his introduction to the Secretary, told his story substantially as narrated in the Henan to- day. The Secretary carefully examined him by his descriptive list and found that he was six feet high, light hair, light bine eyes, beardless, with fair complexion, a genuine Norwegian accent, with enough of the accent to indicate that he was really wrestling with the English language, and bad a mark on bis left arm, This mark the description furnished at first did not enumerate, but it was found subse- quently on another list in the Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting. YECULIAR EVIDENCE OF IDENTITY, Secretary Thompson says that in the examination he came across a fact which eettled in his own mind, from that instant, that the man was the genuine Buder, This was that he could not give the slightest account of the cireumstances of the Huron's accident. His story on this point war as «devoid of infprmation os was that of the seven seamen who were saved from the wreck, and among whom was the champion sailor who had more experience in shipwrecks than any sailor In the navy, and who had been rescued from watery grave no less than nine times. “Well,” said the Secretary, proceeding with the ex- amination, “you are put down as a stone mason, Is that your business?" Buder replied that he had no trade. “Have you any relatives in this country?" “A sinter,” said Buder, to whom he wrote after his arrival in Norway, and who, he thought, was living in Washington. His father had died when he was a mere lad. “Odd civeumstance,” thought the Secretary. “If this sister had received the letter she would certainly have informed the department of hie safe arrival home, but then she may be dead or the letter may never have reached its destination. You cannot tell abont these things, and as I looked the fellow straight in the eye during the questioning, I could not dis- cover the least indication of prevarivation in his answers or confusion in bis looks, On the other hand he impressed me with his honesty and candid manner, and, while a whole year seemed a Jong time for a missing man to report his existence in the land of the living, I had to consider his sickly condition, caused by his exposure and suffering in the water. All this I could appreciate very clearly, having had » near relative who was twelve hours in the water of Lake Erie in the winter time and was rescued ap- parently dead, so numb and insensible had his body become from cold and exposure.” ‘ BUDER'S STATEMENT. “I asked Buder how he managed to hold on to the spar for twenty-four hours with his body perpen. | dicular in the water, He told me that when he found to get an axe out of it. That key he put in his pocket | and had preserved it.. He wanted me to accept it. I looked at the rusty relie of the i I ship and told him he had better keep it for luck, There is no doubt about the man being Buder, He told us how many days he was on the Colorado, on the Guard and on the Tallapoosa, which statement we verified by the rolls of the Navy Department. Having become convinced of his claian upon the Navy I at once ordere? him to be provided with clothing and quarters; and directed that his name should be put on the roll of active sete men.” BURIED AS WILLIAM BUD “After the investigution was over the siory of the robbery of Mr. Stewart's remains was brought very vividly to my mind by the knowledge that in the Naval Cemetery at Annapolis, according to my orders, the remains of the seaman washed on shore at Kitty Hawk from the wi of the Huron had been buried, and there beneath a green mound was a body identi- fied by the burying party as that of William Buder and at the head of the grave was a tombstone erected Looking at his stalwart form and good-natured face I thought how strange it would be for him to stand beside that grave and see with his own eyes the stone commemorating his eventful death, and if he wants to visit Annapolis I will readily give him leave to do 80. The more I think of this solemn fact the more I am reminded of the story of Jonah and the whale, ‘This story of Budgr is one of the oddest I ever heard. It gains in interest from my personal knowledge of the details of that sad disaster of the Huron, and every time I recall his face I think Lsee him standing at his own grave conyulsed with laughter as he reads the epitaph which a grateful nue tion caused to be inscribed over the grave of some poor fellow whose name is now and will forever be unknown to fame. I ordered the rescued seamen from the Huron, seven in number, to assist the burying party in identifying the remains of those pickel up near the scene of the wreck. . Of course William Buder was lost, and somebody was identified as answering his description. But Buder is living, and who the man is beneath his tombstone we will not know until the day of last account. Buder is the lion of the hour among his messmates in the receiving ship, St. Louis. His story will doubtless be a forecastle yarn for ages in the Amerie can Navy. NO SUCH PERSON AS BUDER RESCUED BY THE FORTO—STATEMENT OF CAPTAIN SKARE. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. | BALtiMone, Nov. Vi, 1878. Captain Skare, of the Norwegian bark Forto, now this port, denies that he picked up at sea William Buder, “the man who went to the Navy Department in Washington on Saturday and stated that he was a survivor of the Huron saved by the Forte” The Forto was in the Mediterrancan sea at the time of. the loss of the Huron, and could not’ have rested’ the man. A man named Oscar Grentoft, who. stated that he was an old! man-of-war's man, shipped’ on the Forto at Antwerp and deserted upon Her arrival here. Captain Skare thinks Grentoft and Buder are the same person at FOUR OARED BOAT RACE, Sr. Louis, Nov. 17, 1878, An exciting four oared boat race took place this afternoon on the river opposite the city between the Modoc end St. Louis crews for a wager of $250 a side, made by H.

The course was from the southern wall of the arsenal up stream to stakeboats stationed about one hundred yards below the bridge and return to start ing point. The distance was about six miles.
