C. C, (Curtis' Gough Compound.) Try it CpxsTKB, Pa., Aug. 9.—About 8:30 o'clock last evening fire was discovered in the blacksmith shop, a frame building, in Roach't shipyard. The flames soon spread to a punch uhed, a frame building, covering nearly an acre of ground. Upon this the flames fed rapidly, and, despite the most persistent efforts of the entire Chester fire department, the flames spread over the building, which was old and dry, lighting up the sky for a great distance around. All efforts to save this immense building ware given up, and attention was directed to saving the bending shed, a short distance away, but the efforts of the firemen were unavailing, and it was also soon destroyed. The firemen then directed their attention to the foundry, a large brisk building adjoining the bending shed, and it was only by herculean efforts that it was saved. Bo threatening did the fire become at one time that telegrams were sent to Wilmington and Philadelphia for assistance, but the fire was afterwards controlled sufficiently to countermand the orders. the Police Trap. from Indian Land#.

An Italian died of oholera in ji enburb of Saint Loup, and his family abandoned him, after stripping the corpse of its eMhing. The bureau of assistanoe took no action toward having the body buried. The next morning the vicar came to perform the religions rites. He was compelled to place tbe body in a coffin unaided. He succeeded in carrying the coffin down stairs with the help, of several women. Tbe vicar afterward washed his bands in the gutter and wiped them on his surplice. The Republican committee considered the matter, and unanimously passed a vote of thanks to the vicar for his conduct Owens says he started June 18, with Joseph Williamson, from Kamloops on a prospect- In? trip, expecting to strike the Columbia river, but their supply of provisions gave out before reaching there. They traveled for six days and a half without food, whea Williamson lay down and died. Owens then ent strips of flesh from his dead companion's legs, which ha ate sparingly and prooeedud on his tramp. He had been living six days on human fldsh when found, and still had a quantity of the dried flesh ia an old handkerchief. He was very weak and emaciated, and told his story with difficulty. He repeate 1 the horrible details on several occasions, and those who heard him are ooavincod that the story is true. He had a large roll of bills with hhn. The police have taken the matter in haift and will investigate it. Biudobpobt, *Ct,' Aug. 8.—The triple charge of bigamy, forgery and theft has been preferred against a dashing-looking young man calling himself James Abbott and claiming this town as his home, who was arrested here yesterday by Detectives Taylor and Arnold after a search lasting for mors than a month. Three wives have already been heard from and it is thought that other innocent young girls have been victimized, but the full extent of his criminal record cannot yet be fully determined. Enough h known to entitle the accused to a lengthy period behind the bars of a prison cell. Four years ago Abbott was living in this place and in the«fcpley of 8. M. Cate, and whil* here w«i arrested for a murder committed in Tarry town. Hs was taken to the latter place, but as there was no evidence againstTiim, ha was discharged. He then went to New York and made the acquaintance of Mtss Leonard, an actress, whom he married. This was about two years ago. At that tim$ oallsd himself Francis 8. Stevens, and was also known by the alias of David H. King. After living with his wife a few days he abandoned her. She came hsre in search of him, but could find nothing of his whereabouts. Nothing more was heard of Abbott until June last, when he met a Miss Molton in Ksw York, proposed marriage and was aocepted. He represented himself as a farmer living in the Bridgeport suburbs. The day after the ceremony he disappeared, and with him the lady's jewelry and rings. He h-H also forgtd a check of one of Hiss Molton's brothers for $80 and secured the money. He represented his name as Clarke StoVMir-v Pne of Hiss Molton's brothers cam* lieri in search of him and the police aided him in the search. He narrowly escaped arrest while calling for his mail and for several weeks after sent a boy for it Yesterday morning the boy was followed to a cigar store and Abbott was captured and locked up. N*w York. Aug. ».—"Johnny" Jourdan, a famous burglar and bank sneak-thief, was a prisoner yesterday in a cell at the central office. His arrest wss made in rather a singular fashion. There was a fight early yeeterday morning in the bouse No. 64 Lexington avenue, and shouts of "police!" brought Patrolman Joseph Johnson,of the Eighteenth precinct, to the scene. He found a welldressed man and a woman wrangling in the house. The woman, a tall, good-looking brunette, with flashing black eyes, accused her male companion of having snatched a $100 bill from her, and asked the policeman to arrest him for the larceny. The officer took both to the station, the man as a prisoner, and the woman as the complainant The prisoner gave his name as John Wild, and said that he was a merchant The woman said she was Mrs. Elisa Little, and she lived at No. 54 Lexington avenue. She charged Wild with having stolen a hundred dollar bill from her some two or three weeks ago, while he was paying her a visit at her house. The bill was subsequently found on the floor, where the woman alleged Wild had thrown it during a scuffle for the recovery of the money. Wild denied having stolen the meney, hut on the woman's complaint he was locked up. CakbwcUL, Kan., Aug. 0.—On Wednesday Gov. Hatch, in company with Adjt. Gen. Finley and Inspector Greene, of the interior department, visited Payne's camp, at Rock Falls, in the Indian territory, and, after reading the president's proclamation to him . and his assembled followers, directed them to leave the territory before the following morning or thoy would be ejected. This took place in a small board shanty occupied by The Oklahama Chief newspaper, tbe forms of which were being made up at the time. Payne at first attempted todisooas the legal aspect of the case, but soon became angry and very abusive in his language, calling all the officers of the government, from the higheet to the lowest, a pack of thieves. Cooper, the editor, chimed in with his vituperations and threats. Failing to provoke the offiaart into a quarrel, Payne said he had a valise full of money, and be would give $1,000 to be tried by a United States court, and in order to assure the officers of a case against him would then and there sell them liquors or cigars without license or permit. He urged tbe officers to dine with him, and offered them plenty of liquor if they would do so. By this time a large crowd had assembled from tents and shanties along the rirer, and the officers again admonished them to leave and not return. The only reply was a ton-entof abusive epithets that cannot bo published. R. E. Curtis, Bingham ton, N. T.

Fleming will give any person a trial bottle free of coat. It is guaranteed to relieve and cure. Price 50 cents and $1. The principal loss will be in the punch shed, where there was a great deal of heavy and expensive machinery, such as rolls, punches, drills, shears, planer and Bhafting, valued at C350,000. The rolls alone cost from $10,000 to $12,000 each, and there were three or four sets of them. There were six sets of punches valued at $6,000 each. The other machinery was proportionately expensive, and required to be in daily use, as it enters into the shaping or preparation of all the plates and iron used in a ship. Much of this machinery was new, and it will require several months to replace it The loss in the bending shed will reach over $300,000. In it were two furnacee, plates and bending machinery which were also heavy and costly. The buildings themselves, although sheds, were worth $50,000. The loss on both buildiugs and machinery is said to be fully oovered by insurance in Philadelphia, New York and English companies. JAY-EYE-SEE FAILS. A Dsaklsi Attempt to Cat Dew* Buffalo, ST. Y., Aug. 9.—Yesterday, the third of the trotting meetings at the Driving park, was made more than ttgually interesting by the announcement that the last event would be the attempt of Jay-Eye-Has to beat the record of Maud 8. After a very lively preliminary spin, the little black hone was brought out 4:15 for his groat effort. He reached' the quarter in 38V, the half, still going smoothly and straightened to his work in 1:05)1, making the second quarter in SJV- On the back-stretch to the three-quarters the little horse fairly seemod to fly, and paseed the post in 1:87, onequarter second slower than the second quarter mile. On he came past the distancepole with no sign of wavering in the great pace he was sustaining and under the wire he flashed like a meteor. The hands of watches pointed to and Jay-Eye-See hate lost. Notwithstanding this, and considering the day—a raw and windy on*— and a track which was by no means superb, the performance was a truly great one, and one worth going a long dixt&nce to witness. Masd S. Onee More. Rom, Ang. 0.—Three fresh cases of cholera are reported at Cairo and Montenotte. There have been two deaths at Masse, one at Carignano and one at Ossasio. No fresh cases have appeared at Pancaheri, but two persona who Were under treatment there' have- died. Five cholera patients h the lazaretto at Carignano have been cured, and three are in an improved condition. Postmaster Sam'l A.

When he was brought out of his cell at 'i o'clock yesterday morning for the purpose of being taken to court be was recognized by Capt. Clinchy as Jourdan. An investigation was then made, and it was discovered that the complainant against Jourdan was none other than Eliza Austin, alias "The Whale," the wife or mistress of the notorious "Tip" Little, a famous sneak thief and pickpocket. The woman is said by the police to be a confidence woman, shoplifter and pickpocket Jourdan told Capt Clinchy that the charge against him was unfounded and grew out of jealousy on the part of the woman, with whom he had been intimate. Jourdan was taken to the Fifty-seventh street police court before Justioe Gorman. The woman who had made the complaint against him failed to appear. The magistrate thereupon remanded the prisoner until to-day. and issued a subpoena for Mrs. "Tip" Little. Ueanwhil) Capt. Clinohy had informed ISergt. Bird, in charge of the detective bureau, of the arrest of Jourdan. Detective Sergfc'Bilas Rogers was sent to the court, and when Jourdan was remanded ho took charge of the prisoner and took him to policy'headquarters. He was taken into the defective bureau and "shown up" to the detectives, but Aw of whom knew him before. Sergt Bird says that there aro no warrants for bim in the hands of the officers of the bureau, but he is held to await further developments. He was locked up in a cull and a policeman placed on guard outside the door. ■ " YESTERDAY'S FAILURES. The officer* then returned to camp, ten tniles distant. Early Thursday morning two squadrons of the Ninth United Btatea oavalqr, commanded by Capt.

Haling ft Co., dealer* in lace* at 48 Madison street, have assigned to Abraham J. Moore.

Payne threatened to ant the throat of the first man who attempted to arrest him, but one colored soldier marched him about camp for an hour. Payne has lost whatever prestige he may have had heretofore with the ththking class of the community. He had been on a debauch for a week, and was unable Thursday to attend the oonferenoe of squatter* which wai held after Gen. Hatch had left Rock Fall*. The deluded squatter* realise that they have paid him many thousands of dollars without any eqatvalaat rhe number ejected. Jrom tills camp was about 850 people. A large crowd of oitlsena were present They same from Hunniwell as spectators, and heartily approved the course adopted to rid the territory of the intruders. It Is believed this will cure the "boomers" of trying to force a settlement of the Indian lands. The other detachfasaU of troop* have been sent to the remaining settlements, and wjll in like manner arrest the ringleaders and take them to Fort Smith. Jourdan has been n criminal from boyhood. He is one of the persons referred to in Inspector Byrne's recent report to the board of police as being protected by certain lawyers in close connection with the district attorney's office. His sister is the Maggie Jourdan through whose instrumentality William J. Sharkey, unSer sentence of death for killing Robert S. Dunn, escaped from the Tombs. Jordan was the associate of such clever safe breakers, burglars, and batik sneaks as George Carson, Johnny Price, Ruff Minor, and Billy Burke. He was engaged with George Carson and others in tlio robbery of the safe and vaults of the Middletown Savings bank, at Middletown. Ct., where they secured $48,000. He and Carson were arrested in this city for this robbery on a requisition from the governor of Connecticut. Carson was delivered to the authorities of Connecticut, and was taken back for trial. This resulted in a disagreement of the jury, and he was released on bail. Jourdan resisted the exquisition, and pending the proceedings in the supreme court was placed in the custody of the sheriff. He was confined in the Ludlow street jail for several weeks, but on the plea of his ill-health was removed to Bellevue hospital, where he was plated in ward No. 8. He escaped from the hospital on April 14, 1884, and has since been at large. THE DI8ABLED LYOIAN MONARCH A Probability that the Steamer Has Been' Driven Southward. Nbw York, Aug. 9.—"Notwithstanding the (act that the disabled steamship Lydlap Monarch has nofyet arrived in port, we do not /eel any anxiety on the subject,'•said one of the agent! of the Monarch line to a reporter yesterday afternoon. "Whet she was sighted by the Archer line steamkhlp Austral about a week ago, she was nearly 2,000 mile* from New York. As sbe is probably making her way under sail, her progress must be extremely slow. The steamship Grecian Monarch, alto of our line, Is now on her trip from New York to London. It Is possible that she may have fallen in with the disabled steamship and is towing har into port." The Lydian Monarch is provided with water-tight compartments and bulkheads, which are constructed upon a peculiar plan. Instead of the bulkheads extending directly crosswise of the vessel, they are so managed that the compartments extend both lengthwise and crosswise, each compartment being somewhat in the shape of anL It is claimed that it would be impossible for the vessel sink at sea unless she should strike on a rock and be totally wrecked.

I have not severed my connection with the Commercial- Gazotte, and have been contributing to it over our leased wire ever since I have been here, and shall oontinuo tS do so after the evening paper is started." j , It is Baid on good authority that Mr. W hi tela w Re id is interested in the enterprise, though Mr. Halstead will be the editorial head of the paper. It is likely that the new paper will print a serial story running from day to day, after the style of the Paris papers, especially Le Petit Journal, which seems to bo, to a certain extent, the model Mr. Halstead has taken for his new venture.

Abbott has had a large amount of correspondence throughout the country relating to matrimonial advertisements. One letter found in his possession is from "Mrs. M., l'J8 Bank struct, Newark, N. J." She is mistrustful, but would marry if he suited her, but he must '"b* handsome and furnish references." Miss Dora Kelly, of Plainfleld, N. J., "would not object to marry if she was suited." Abbott has been writing letters evory day for the i ast month, and it is exported has victimized other females. In conversation with Abbott's Bridgeport wife last evening she stated that he was "a curious fellow, always talligg in love with every good-looking woman he met- He was not to blame, however, as the women were always running after him on account of his good looks." The brother of Mist Molton charges Abbott with forgery, bigamy and theft, and he will be taken to-Hew York for trial. *4KlM* POWDER The Diamond Field. CfcaMaploM Bicycle But.

He was recognized as a resident of Bridgeport, and was intoxicated. His name is John Rowan. Several weeks ago he was overcome by the heat, and last week his youngest child died.
