London, April 30.—Tho seizure of Meruchak by the Bjwsaians and the advancetpward Herat, although formally announced by thii foreign OiBce, nave caused but little excitement in London. Both events had been discounted, and the "softening hand of time," ou which Mr. Gladstone has such wellfounded reliance, will doubtless prepare the public to hoar, with reasonable equanimity, of the capture of Herat. At a meeting of the consuls with Gen. Aizpuru, the latter said that while he did not entireiv accept tho titles conferred uoo* Col. Montoya and Col. R3yej, he was willing to disband his forces, deliver up their nrmD, and retire to private life upon certain conditions:One of the employes released the girl from her mother's grasp. Mrs. King denounced the rink and its managers. While she was tl.us ongagd8 the daughter disappeared. The mother, supposing that she was concealed somewhere in the rink, demanded that Mr. Currier, the manager, should produce bar. Ho explained that she had gone home. This was true.

Of course the Russians claim to have had food reasons for seizing Meruchak, despite the covenant of March 17 that the "Russian troops should not advance or attack, provided the Afghan troops did not advance or attack." The officials at the Russian embassy blandly explain that Moruchak is simply the southern boundary of the Penjdeh oasis, and that it was necessary to occupy Meruchak to prevent anarchy in the oasis. The subordinate officers, however, have talked very freely of the prospects ef war. Englishman and Russian seem equally anxious for a fight. An officer of the Garnet ■aid the other day that they expected to find, on reaching Norfolk that war had been actually declared, and were greatly disappointed to find that negotiations were still in progress.

Copper Hottom. Poor Times. Norwaijc, Ct, April 80.—Rowayton, or Five Mile River, as it Is more familiarly known, is a village of not more than 300 inhabitants, about four miles from here. The inhabitants are chiefly oystermen and their families. There is one church in the place. A fund was needed to make some necessary repairs on th? church odifico, and, to raise it, it was decided to hold u church sociable and supper.

Pmn—1« fight OB a Memorable Battle- Ground. With the more warlike tone of the dispatches during the last few days, a more rigid discipline and signs of preparation on both ships have been manifest. Every day messages in oipher have passed through the telegraph office addressed to both captains, and on Monday the Garnet dropped down to Hampton Roads. As the Strelok would have to pass through the Roads to reach open water, the action of the Garnet did not alter her facilities for watching the Other. Yesterday the Strelok weighed anchor at 1 a. m., and the character of this morning's cable news is naturally ascribed bb the cause of her departure. By in ternattoaat law, after war is formally dC(- clored, if two ships of the hostile nations are in a neutral port the one that weighs anchor first is allowed 24 hours' start. They cannot engage each other within nine miles uf the neutral coast. It it evident that the Btrelok meant to fcdee time by the forelock before the actual rls sis ration of war. The Strelok pot to sea very quietly, and puKsd the capes without lights. The British iiwl hare promptly wirod the English trum-of-war at her station in Hampton Military experts say that the long threatened advance upon Herat has surely begun, and they can only account for this action on the supposition that Russia has determined to regard the covenant of March 17 as voideS by Afghan acts. In addition to the proviso "that the Afghan troops did not advance or attack" there was a reservation that the status quo should be considered ended in the case of some extraordinary accident, such as a disturbance in Penjdeh. Ooijjbrs, W. Va., April 30.—Right on the spot where Paddy Ryan defeated aid Joe Goes four ysai? ago, one of the hardest and gameet glove fights on record took place be twoen Ted Dillon and one Crowley. Dillon weighed 190 pounds and Crowley 181 The fight was for (300 a side. The men wore black kid gloves with the fingers cut out. The fight was under London rules, with 90 seconds between each two rounds. Tim* was called at 11:88 a. It Crowley got first blow in the first round and Dillon was allowed first knock down in the second. Forty-four desperate rounds were fought, when Crowley gave up The sudden arrival of the sheriff cut short the jubilations of the Dil-1 unites and all hands scampered over &e line into Pennsylvania. Poor Crowley wasoaptured when only about 100 feet of the state lino. He will be taken to Wellsburg. Oi the fighters Crowley was terribly cut about tli) head, face and body,, while Dillon's punishment seemed to have been mostly about his face. * The final meeting of the consular corps, i* conjunction with Admiral Jouett, Commfen* dor McCalla and the contending powers, took place yesterday afternoon, and the beet possible solution of the present political difficulties was arranged. Aizpuru surrenders unconditionally, and together with his followers retires from the city. According to the treaty agreed upon, which is to be signed to-day. the city, with all the revolutionary armament, will be delivered over to the government troops, lender command of Col. Reyes, as soon as they enter the city. Col. Montoya will then assume the civil and military governorship of Panama untH the reorganization of the state government. All political offenders Will receive full pardon excepting those implicated in the recent burning of Colon. These latter will be apprehended and tried as criminals. The government troops are expected to disembark to-day. It is believed there will.be no trouble.

"I sometimes wish I oould take bold of the sale of Thomas' Kcleotric Oil for I tall you it is a grand thing, and I am conscientious In spying I oould do a good woik." Rev. K. F. Crane, Oorry, Pa. Saturday night last was the time set for the supper, and among the eatables furnished was a quantity of home-made ice cream, donated by a Mrs. Tuttle. This article was in great demand, all preaent partaking of it Soon after the sociable was ende 1 those who had eaten of the cream were taken suddenly ill Physicians were hastily summoned, arid by prompt measures succeeded in relieving the patients. The symptoms in all cases were those of oorrorive poisoning. SEVEN COAL .. BOATS SUNK. lilgti Waves ill the Tappan Zm—An Kr 8ino Slim, N. Y., April SO.—A strong gale of wind' swopt along the Hudson about 2 o'clock, which lashod the river into fury and mado the waves out in the Tappan Zee run from 10 to 15 feet high. At that hour the large sidewheel tugboat Oswego appeared off this place with about a dozen boats in tow. Ttiey were all canal boats loaded with cool, except one barge, which dkl not seem to be loaded. Mr. Franklin Brandieth. of this place, who watched the boats through a large telesoope, told a correspondent the following story: "I first discovered that the hauser between the Oswego and tho tow was broken or had been let loose, and tho boats were floundering about in the sea. Presently a propeller having some brick barges in tow came dowtt past Croton Point and went totbe assistance of the canal boats, after talcing her own boats to the Oswego, which proceeded on down the river with them, being unable on account of her size to do anything for the others. On the canal boats the greatest confusion was evident. The captains and hands were trying to save their effects, and having partially emptied one boat of its loed of ceil, they all succeeded iu getting aboard it. Being lighter chaa the others, it rode the as* better. First two, then three, and finally seven of the coal boats sank. The barge was towed to Rockond, opposite this place, where it grounded. The tug then returned to the canal boat, on which twenty odd men had taken refuge, took them all on board and proceeded with them down the river, evidently intending to overhaul the Oswego between here and New York and again take her own tow of brick barges." citing Time. Eclectric Oil cured this gentleman of quinqr of many years standing. 't The Russians have already in effect claimed the benefit of both the proviso and the reservation. Gen. Jtomaroff, in his reports of April 1 and April IB, stated that the Afghans began to advance toward his position March 36, and that they tired the first shot in the battle of March 80. As aoon as he occupied Penjdeh he reported a statu ot affairs identical with that provided for in the reservation, as quoted by Mr. Gladstone. Gen. Komaroff said in his report received at St. Petersburg on the last instant that the Afghans abandoned Penjdeh and fled in the direction of Herat, and that ha had been compelled to occupy Penjdeh to prevent the place from falling into the hands of anarchists and pillagers, who had already begun to make in-' cursions and had looted and burned portions of the city. Di» C. G. Bohannan, of South Norwalk. made an investigation. He found that in making the cream Mn. Tuttle had used a tin freezer having a galvanised bottom. The doctor's opinion is that the galvanic action of the metals, caused probably by the "churning" of the cream in the process of freezing, developed a corrosive poison which premeated the contents of the can. Another Six Days' Skating Contest. N*w York, April 80.—The following names have been ontored for the six days' skating contest which commences at -the Madison Square garden May 11: Kenneth A. Banner, Eugene Maddocka, Charles A Harriman, Charles Walton, John O'Melin, Alexander Snowden, Charles W. Genery, Oliver Lyons, J. A. Small, J. M.

Peter Duryea, the wellknown sporting man, will give a $1,000 belt to the winner. Over 60 applications have been received by persona who desire to contest, but the management have limited the number of starters to IS. None of the contestants will roceive any of the gate receipt unies* ho covers 800 miles or mere. Forty-three persons wen poisoned in all.

M. Greger, secretary of the Russian legation at Washington, arrived here after the departure of the Strelok. The captain of the Btrelok said that he was not afraid of the Garnet, but knew that other English cruisers were coming this way, and be did not want to be hemmed In here. The line of argument that Russia seems now to depond upon is that the covenant, having been broken once, is at an end forever, and cannot be set up as a frosh obstacle before Meruchak, Balu Murghab or Herat; that there is no agreement to prevent her progress southward as far as she deems necessary, and thftt if she is to be opposed by force, it is for the Afghans, and not for England, to oppose her. Gen. Grant Still Improving. Nirw York, April 80.— Gen. Grant was pronounced to be better than he had been for a month.

London, April 30.—A banquet was tendered to Mr. Henry Irving last night at the Criterion. The Earl of Wharnciiffe presided, and among the scores of notably guests present were the Duke of Beaufort, Admiral Sir Henry Koppel, K. C. B., and Mr. John Lawrence Toole, the famous comedian. Mr. Irving was gieeted with immense enthusiasm. In responding to the toast to his health, the distinguished actor remarked that it was easy to auuure and love America while remaining a thoroughgoing Briton. It was upon this essential kinship of the two great peoples that he delighted to dwell, when, as upon this occasion, their flags were displayed side by side. No Englishman who had learned to know the Americans as he had could ever view that emblematic kindred without a thrill of pleasure at the token of a union in sentiment which, he trusted, would never be broken by any of the shocks of destiny. He did not feel that he had been abroad. He had crossed the sea, it is true, but only to find another England on the other side. He had been on a visit to our cousins, who have"a share in the historic glories of our past and sympathetic hearts for us in our trouble.-.
