Middleton's troops had another skirmish with a large force of rebels near Batouche. The troops advanced seven miles from camp, the steamer Northcote keeping pace with thi£n on the river. Suddenly a sound of the steamer's whistle was heard, followed by heavy firing in front and in the direction of "When I come back in the autumn I shall expect to find your literary work finished to your satisfaction." London, May 11.—The excitement at the political clubs is at fever heat, and the whips of both parties are making the most strenuous efforts to bring out Uicir respective strength, in view of the gauntlet of hostile motions which must te run by the- government this week. The first to be encountered is the motion of censure on account of the wretched bungling of the Sourlan business. This, although move! by Sir Stafford Northcote, is really the motion of Lord George Hamilton, and is to be debated to-night. It is remembered that the government only escaped defeat last year, on a similar motion by a slender majority of 14 votes, and many counts have since been added to the indictment. Next comes, to-morrow night, the amendment of Sir L. Ma?sey Lopes, the Tory member for South Devonshire, providing that the cost of the new registry be charged to the treasury instead of to the local rates. This was only defeated last Tuesday night in its preliminary stage by a vote of 340 to 237, and the change of two votes may convert this scanty victory into a defeat. If the government survive this shocks it will have to face a bitter attack led by Sir Michael A. Bass in the interest of the beer and spirit trade and in opposition to the increased duties provided by the budget. If the ministers encounter a signal defeat on any one of these measures they will immediately dissolve parliament and resign in a body, leaving a liberal legacy of trouble to their Tory «.uccassors. Nbw York, May 11.—The same old crowd of ticket speculators, humbly obtrusive and running over with promises to sell at box office rates, gathered around Madisoa Square Garden last night, tackling every one who hove in sight, and devoutly praying for the success of the second six-day roller skating race, on which they had fixed their hopes. Inside, Pete Duryea's monster diamond shone rnd sparkled in the awful shadow of Capt. Williams' brand new club, and august lines of policemen stretched away in all directions, bristling * with 'firm resolve to make the skaters skate themselves to death strictly according to law. At midnight, just before the men were to start, full 5,000 persons crowded around the long, smooth track, as excited as a Spaniard at his first bull light... Every one believed ! hat some few of the contestants were bound to die, and that all were sure to como pretty pear dying, and the general feeling of expectation was expressed in the remark of a sporting man, that it was 4'a dead square knockout affair, with no show for fakirs." At 15 minutes before midnight the 16 roller-skate gladiators who were to furnish the sport began to crawl out of the deep sleep in which they had spent the day, aud pleased the crowd with occasional glimpses of their great selves, as they dodged in and out of their little huts. Philadelphia, May 11.—The Mayor presided at a meeting of citizens to devise means for the relief of the sufferers by the epidemic at Plymouth, Luzerno county. The majror said lie had received a large number of communications from physicians and nurses volunteering their services. A gentleman who has recently visited tho mfected district described tho prevailing hardships and said the people there needed money and drugs. Another gentleman said that there was a balance of $1,700 remaining of the fund contributed towards relief of th® sufferers by the Ohio floods and suggested that it be used to relieve the Plymouth sufforcrs. He alac announced contributions of $100 each from George W. ChildD and Drexel & Co., and suggested that $2,000 be ma3e available at once. Another gentleman contributed $50, and with settling the question of disbursing the remainder of tho Ohio flood fund a relief committee was appointed and an sojournment was taken until to-morrow. "You don't expect to find me, though, do you?' said the general. "I Eh"II hope so, anyhow," responded Dr. Barker, ai he went away.

A party of rebels woro met, who llred and retired behind the houses toward a hollow. The Ratting gun waa brought to bear on them, when they ran into a house near tho church of St. Laurent, which was also fired ou by the Gatling. The rebels then ran oufr into the bush. A battery of artillery rushed to tho iront and sent several shells after the rebels. The grenadiers advanced in skirmishing order till the church was reached, when a priest, carae out of the house waving a white flag. Gtuv Middletou and staff advanced and shook hands with him, when three other priests and five 818101% cf charity came out. A number of halfbreeds and children were also Inside in charge of the sisters. Father Honlin, one of the priests, said the steamer arrived at a point a little above Batouche at 5 A. m., and the rebels immediately commenced firing on it from both banks. It shortly after stuck on a mud bank, bu* swung clear again. The vessel is suppowo to be badly peppered, as the smoke stack if gone. She went back about three miles up the river. The grenadiers advanced, hjiir. mlshing through the bush on the right df the trail, the Gatling being pushed forward down the declivity towards Batouche, which was now plainly visible in the valley here. "A' battery unlirabored on top of the ridge, ending shells among the rebels. Whilst doing so they were almost surprised by s number of rebels, who crept up through thf bush, not being discovered until 30 yards distant. They made a rush for the guns, Bring and yelling as they ran. Capt. Howard, of the American army, who oporate: the Gatling gun, saw the danger, and wit! cool daring waited until tjie rebels wert only a couple of yards in front of the bat tery, and opening fire literally mowed then down.

She proved fickle, and then the haughty Bernardi, imbued with the sentiments of the popular ten-cent literature, decided on revenge. He determined to die and to take Tressy along with hisa. Arming himself with a pistol, he bent his brows over' his eyes and dug his heels into the sidewalk 011 Union street. Tressy came from school arm in arm the hated rival. Eddie, drawing the pistol from his coat pocket, fired at the girl. The ball plowed its way through Tressy's gingham apron. With a tragic air, Eddie, turning the weapon upon himself, fired. Three separate and distinct times the revolver was discharged, and at th3 last shot the bullet hit him in the left side under the lower rib. Miss Tressy is not hurt much and the hated rival will gloat over Eddie's fall.

A clock tall as an ordinary grandfather stood close to the track, opposite the reporters' stand, whence the men were to start When it had ticked the hours away as far as midnight, a being in sable tights came out of one of tho little pine huts and Bped around the track. It was Snowden, and before the women were through applauding his perfect bang and graceful form a half dozen others came gliding after -him in all the colors of the rainbow, and were applauded also. The judges and the referee, with their odd dozen of aids and supernumeraries, gathered around the big clock and waited patiently for it to tell them that it was time to start the race. A PECULIAR REVENGE. London, May 11.—The police made a wholesale raid on a number of workmen's clubs in the western part of the metropolis and arrested 50 members who were found gambling. In some of the places there was desperate fighting, and there was a plentiful display of broken heads and black eyes among both police and prisoners when tho latter were arraigned. The occurrence has revived the outcry that the home office discriminates between rich and poor violators of the law, Eince the aristocratic clubs of the West End proper wore untouched, although it is a notorious fact that fully one-half of them are gambling hells.

Highest Lowest! , doting New York, May 11.—Luigi Epauleta, at Italian streei sweeper, of No. 414 Krsl street, Jersey City, two months ago married Paola Rocco, a 12-year-old girl. Lorenzc Bosco, a barber, had been a suitor for he) hand, and when she wedded his rival he be came furious. Mrs. Epauleta gave a reoep tion at her shanty Saturday night. To wards midnight Bosco appeared at the door. He was invited to come inside an8 he sat down. A game of cards was proposed anc Bosco took a hand. He kept his eyes upoi Epauleta and it became evident that hC meant to do mischief. A dispute arose anc Epauleta said Bosco was cheating. io was alive, but not all sorry for having had his revenge. Tho home of the girl, No. 483 South Canal street, was also visited. Tressy sat up in bed and rehearsed the story. "He may have been in love with me," she said, "but I was certainly not in love with bim, but please don't put that In tho paper." Tressy will be in condition to resume har studies and her love making soon. She soon became aware that some one was In tha room, and, looking up, saw two men wearing moccasins and black masks standing near her. One of the men carried a large knife and a pair of shears. One of the fellows grasped the girl by the throat and warned her not to scream under penalty of having her throat cut. He told her he wanted to be revenged on her father. Thee with the shears he cut off tho girl's hair, which was very long, and afterwards cut her dress iuto tatters.

Clay Armstrong, of Alabama, at Rio de Janeiro, and the following consuls: Gustavus Lucke, of New Hampshire, at Sherbrooko, Canada; Petor Staub, of Tennessee, at St. Galle; Henry M. Keun, of Pennsylvania, at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island; John M. Strong, of New York, at Belleville. Canada; Alexander Bertrand, of New York, at St. Johns, Quebec; Louis N. Minnie, of Michigan, at Port Sarnie. Every man started away off as though the race were to last six minutes and defeat meant death. Fifteen men, bunched together, scrambled for a few paces to get their legs working, and then the speedy men showed what was in them. The first man to shoot out of the bunch was Small, dressed all in brown, and with long, slender legs that twiakled like the spokes in a buggy wheel. Next to him came Snowden, and then the men stretched themselves out into the line which will be gradually thinned out during six long days. "You touch the curd and Til stab you, said the barber. London, May 11.--Dispatches from MC»- oow show that Russia is beginning to realize in a very practical way tho benefits of her southward march in Central Asia. The city cf Merv, which was seized last year, is the c:'Lt ;r of an immense caravan trade, and her bazirs attract merchants from all parts of Turkomania, from Afghanistan, from Persia and even from Europe. This Is the first spring that the place has been in full possession of the Russians, anil the spring trade has opened with great activity. Shoals of workmen, many of whom have been brought from Russia, are busily engaged building churches, mosques and hundreds of houses, both for business and residence purposes. The wealth of the Mervii and of the surrounding tribes has marvelously increased, and this fact goes far to reconcile them to Russian domination and taxes. Civilization and fixed government are also following in the wake of the Russian conquest, and the slave trade of which Merv had been a centre from prohistoric times Is almost wholly exterminated. Domestic slavery is still tolerated, with some modifications, but, as no more slaves can be bought and the children of slave mothers are born free, the Institution is doomed tj extinction with the deiMi of the present generation. Even in the case of domestic slaves on excoption is made in favor of Persia, for a recent ukase of the czar commands that every Persian now held In bondage by the Tutkcmans shall be set froe and returned to Persia. Hundreds of liberated Persians havCs thus Ixon sent back across the frontier within the past few weeks. ■varybody VaatsHI, Gail ft Ax's Navy amoking tobaeeo.

Mr. and Mrs. Thrall returned home soon afterwards. They can' ot account for tht outrage. Miss Thrall is a very handsome young woman and highly educated. It if thought that the men had taken umbrage at Mr. Thrall's strict manner of doing business, and took this method of revenging themselves. The police are working on the case.

He rolled around like lightning with his body bent far forward and bis arms sawing the air, and the crowd yelled faithfully for 4 minutes and 13 seconds, in which time Small covered the first mile in the race. Lewis C. Bartlett, of New York, was appointed second deputy commissioner of pensions; Arthur D. Bissell, collector of customs for the district of Buffalo Creek, N. Y.: A. M.

Washington, May 11.—It was officially announced in the Catholic churches of this city at high mass that Washington bad beoi selected as the site of the new Catholic university. A conference of Catholic church men was held in Baltimore last week to de cide this matter, and after mature consider ation, Washington was selected. Bishop Ireland, of Minnesota, who is deputed t* select the ground and make arrangements for the erection of the university, m an address at St. Matthew' i church, said this city was agree 1 upon be& use it possessed greatei literary, scientific, political and philosophic advantages than any other city in tha country; it is the capital of the nation,'was the centre of social and literary life of the country; and while other cities had offered great money inducements to have tlie university located in their midst, none could offer the inducements which were peculiar to Washington. Tne nucleus for the establishment of this university was the donation last fall, by Miss Caldwell, of New York, of $300,000. which amcunt was accepted by the Catholii council in Baltimore, and a sum added which will insure its erection. The university will be devotad to training and educating Catholic youth for the priesthood. Wm. Bruce, lately a prisoner of Bjel, whC escaped, says Riel's force is a little over 400. half of whom are on the other side of thf river. He also says that when ammunitior was served to the rebels only one keg ot powder remained. Bullets are also scarce Women and children had been sent to thC other side of the river. The rebel loss is no: known, but supposed to be severe. UavebalL It was painfully evident that Noremac, the walker, was not a skater. The wicked rollers seemed master. of bis feet, and his bunchy little body swayed around in evident uneasiness, while his calves rose and fell under his white tights, plainly showing their desperate struggle for supremacy over the wheels. Harriman, too, excited pity among those who did not know what he had already done. He seemed impressed with the idea that to manage a roller skate properly you must put your heel down first as carefully as in a walking match, and his huge frame seemed tormented with the reluctance of the rollers to undergo any such-treatment.

Milwaukee, May 11.— Alexandor Hibbard, a 16-year old son of Jared Hibbard, is the victim of a curious and most distressing accident. The lad is a great joker, and is in the habit of entertaining the hoarders and members of the family by his ludicrous antics and quaint sayings. Soon after dinner young Hibbard began fooling with a trade dollar, and endeavored to execute some sleight-of-hand tricks for the edification of the spectators. At length, taking the silver dollar in his hand, be threw it up and caught it in hii mouth. The coin slipped down his throat, where it lodged, causing the most agonizing suffering. The coin was finally forced down into his stomach. It will have to be removed by n dangerous surgical o fx "ration, but he is iu a fail- way to die in the meantime.

Sig. Miincini's ambitious scheme of planting u chain of Italian colonies on the Red Sea littoral has received a severe set back by news which has just been received from Hassowah, and which is being industriously disseminated by the foes of the forC8gn minister. Tho news from Massowah is to jthe effect that tho terrible climate of that edge of the SoudaU is ruining the health of the troops, who are dying by scores of enteric and typhoid and that there is no prospect of any important extension of trade with the interior. The opposition complain bitteslv of the action of the government in frittering away lives and resources in fruitless enterprises on the shore of the Red Sea whioh might be expended to much better advantage on the Mediterranean coast. » Totals 9 9 Totals tl 1 Following is the record of the America! association clubs to date: WESTERN CLUBS.

Bangor, May 11.—Whep the British troops camo up the Penobscot in 1812, they chased all the native inilitia into the woods and sacked Bangor and the whole neighborhood. Peoplo who had any ready money buried it, and recant developments indicate that some of them cither forgot the hiding place of their wealth or did not live to dig it up. The other day Thomas Patten, a Hampden farmer living about six miles from Bangor, while moving a rock pile on his land, discovered a dish containing about half a peek of silver coins, 197 of them being larger than American dollars. There were Louis d'or, Mexican and Bolivian dollars, Spanish pesetas and reals, with several other kinds. The coins are from 100 to 130 years old. A Kellc of 1813. Br.

In the letter referred to Mr. Blackburn said: "I hope that I will do my duty as a rebel and a free man.

I want to soo Union blood deep enough for my horse to swim in." BITTERS Boston, May 11.—Toe supreme judicial court of Massachusetts has promulgated an important decision, which will affect the proposed disposal of over $1,000,000. The decision is in relation to the payment of boun • ties for soldiers, which setttes the point that although the legislature may by special act authorize towns to pay such bounties, yet such acts are unconstitutional and towns cannot assess taxes to provide for the "contemplated payment. In 1SS2 the legislature of Massachusetts pas-sod an act authorizing the town of Acton to raise money to pay to each of 81 soldiers who during tho war had been credited to the town a bounty of $126 each. Subsequently at a town meeting, by a vote of 219 to 215, it was ordered that the sum of $4,000 be raised by taxation to pay such bounties, and also a bill of about $800 incurred in lobbying tbo measure through the legislature. Ten tax payers secured the lojral services of Samuel Hoar, who brought a bill in equity to enjoin the treasurer of the town from paying the mousy in accordance with the vote. The ca-:o was reserved for the full court, whose decision is in favor of the petitioners, Payment of Bounties to Soldiers. The story goes that this party wai organized and led by Capt. James W. Kennedy, of St. Paul, who commanded a company in the fcmicr Riel rebellion, and became sc •noted for his courage and determination. Soon after the rebellion began Kennedy disappeared. This was more than five weeks ago. His destination no one knew. He has just returned to St. Paul as suddenly as he left it, an 1 it now becomes known that he penetrated to Riel's camp with a small party of men, evading American and Caqqdian civil im 1 military authorities, and carrying with him overland the three Gatling guns, 1,009 Ion? range rides and a good supply of ammunition. The trip was long and laborious, but safely accomplished. The party entered Dakota from the Minnesota side, crossed the line east of the Turtle mountains, striking straight across the country, and going np on the west sido of the Saskatchawan, leaving Clark's Crossing to the right. They joined Riel's forces at Batouclle the day after the tight at Fish Creek, having marched some 1,500 miles through the ensmy'a country. Capt. Kennedy is now working, in connection with othar sympathizers in this city and Minneapolis, to render Riel all the assistance possible.

Middleton's troops had another skirmish with a large force of rebels near Batouche. The troops advanced seven miles from camp, the steamer Northcote keeping pace with thi£n on the river. Suddenly a sound of the steamer's whistle was heard, followed by heavy firing in front and in the direction of "When I come back in the autumn I shall expect to find your literary work finished to your satisfaction." London, May 11.—The excitement at the political clubs is at fever heat, and the whips of both parties are making the most strenuous efforts to bring out Uicir respective strength, in view of the gauntlet of hostile motions which must te run by the- government this week. The first to be encountered is the motion of censure on account of the wretched bungling of the Sourlan business. This, although move! by Sir Stafford Northcote, is really the motion of Lord George Hamilton, and is to be debated to-night. It is remembered that the government only escaped defeat last year, on a similar motion by a slender majority of 14 votes, and many counts have since been added to the indictment. Next comes, to-morrow night, the amendment of Sir L. Ma?sey Lopes, the Tory member for South Devonshire, providing that the cost of the new registry be charged to the treasury instead of to the local rates. This was only defeated last Tuesday night in its preliminary stage by a vote of 340 to 237, and the change of two votes may convert this scanty victory into a defeat. If the government survive this shocks it will have to face a bitter attack led by Sir Michael A. Bass in the interest of the beer and spirit trade and in opposition to the increased duties provided by the budget. If the ministers encounter a signal defeat on any one of these measures they will immediately dissolve parliament and resign in a body, leaving a liberal legacy of trouble to their Tory «.uccassors. Nbw York, May 11.—The same old crowd of ticket speculators, humbly obtrusive and running over with promises to sell at box office rates, gathered around Madisoa Square Garden last night, tackling every one who hove in sight, and devoutly praying for the success of the second six-day roller skating race, on which they had fixed their hopes. Inside, Pete Duryea's monster diamond shone rnd sparkled in the awful shadow of Capt. Williams' brand new club, and august lines of policemen stretched away in all directions, bristling * with 'firm resolve to make the skaters skate themselves to death strictly according to law. At midnight, just before the men were to start, full 5,000 persons crowded around the long, smooth track, as excited as a Spaniard at his first bull light... Every one believed ! hat some few of the contestants were bound to die, and that all were sure to como pretty pear dying, and the general feeling of expectation was expressed in the remark of a sporting man, that it was 4'a dead square knockout affair, with no show for fakirs." At 15 minutes before midnight the 16 roller-skate gladiators who were to furnish the sport began to crawl out of the deep sleep in which they had spent the day, aud pleased the crowd with occasional glimpses of their great selves, as they dodged in and out of their little huts. Philadelphia, May 11.—The Mayor presided at a meeting of citizens to devise means for the relief of the sufferers by the epidemic at Plymouth, Luzerno county. The majror said lie had received a large number of communications from physicians and nurses volunteering their services. A gentleman who has recently visited tho mfected district described tho prevailing hardships and said the people there needed money and drugs. Another gentleman said that there was a balance of $1,700 remaining of the fund contributed towards relief of th® sufferers by the Ohio floods and suggested that it be used to relieve the Plymouth sufforcrs. He alac announced contributions of $100 each from George W. ChildD and Drexel & Co., and suggested that $2,000 be ma3e available at once. Another gentleman contributed $50, and with settling the question of disbursing the remainder of tho Ohio flood fund a relief committee was appointed and an sojournment was taken until to-morrow. "You don't expect to find me, though, do you?' said the general. "I Eh"II hope so, anyhow," responded Dr. Barker, ai he went away.

A party of rebels woro met, who llred and retired behind the houses toward a hollow. The Ratting gun waa brought to bear on them, when they ran into a house near tho church of St. Laurent, which was also fired ou by the Gatling. The rebels then ran oufr into the bush. A battery of artillery rushed to tho iront and sent several shells after the rebels. The grenadiers advanced in skirmishing order till the church was reached, when a priest, carae out of the house waving a white flag. Gtuv Middletou and staff advanced and shook hands with him, when three other priests and five 818101% cf charity came out. A number of halfbreeds and children were also Inside in charge of the sisters. Father Honlin, one of the priests, said the steamer arrived at a point a little above Batouche at 5 A. m., and the rebels immediately commenced firing on it from both banks. It shortly after stuck on a mud bank, bu* swung clear again. The vessel is suppowo to be badly peppered, as the smoke stack if gone. She went back about three miles up the river. The grenadiers advanced, hjiir. mlshing through the bush on the right df the trail, the Gatling being pushed forward down the declivity towards Batouche, which was now plainly visible in the valley here. "A' battery unlirabored on top of the ridge, ending shells among the rebels. Whilst doing so they were almost surprised by s number of rebels, who crept up through thf bush, not being discovered until 30 yards distant. They made a rush for the guns, Bring and yelling as they ran. Capt. Howard, of the American army, who oporate: the Gatling gun, saw the danger, and wit! cool daring waited until tjie rebels wert only a couple of yards in front of the bat tery, and opening fire literally mowed then down. Those remaining turned and ran. Beaching the shelter of the bush they openee lire again, and Howard's escape from injurj was something marvelous, the bullets flying all around him.

Eddie, drawing the pistol from his coat pocket, fired at the girl. The ball plowed its way through Tressy's gingham apron. With a tragic air, Eddie, turning the weapon upon himself, fired. Three separate and distinct times the revolver was discharged, and at th3 last shot the bullet hit him in the left side under the lower rib.

"I think it'll do mo good, I haven't walked in so long now," be responded, and then added, "I will add a block at a time this way as I get stronger, and then I'll walk twice a day—moi n.'ng and afternoon—besides driving at midday.

A clock tall as an ordinary grandfather stood close to the track, opposite the reporters' stand, whence the men were to start When it had ticked the hours away as far as midnight, a being in sable tights came out of one of tho little pine huts and Bped around the track. It was Snowden, and before the women were through applauding his perfect bang and graceful form a half dozen others came gliding after -him in all the colors of the rainbow, and were applauded also. The judges and the referee, with their odd dozen of aids and supernumeraries, gathered around the big clock and waited patiently for it to tell them that it was time to start the race. A PECULIAR REVENGE. London, May 11.—The police made a wholesale raid on a number of workmen's clubs in the western part of the metropolis and arrested 50 members who were found gambling. In some of the places there was desperate fighting, and there was a plentiful display of broken heads and black eyes among both police and prisoners when tho latter were arraigned. The occurrence has revived the outcry that the home office discriminates between rich and poor violators of the law, Eince the aristocratic clubs of the West End proper wore untouched, although it is a notorious fact that fully one-half of them are gambling hells. The incident is sure to be made use of by the speakers at the workingmen's mass meeting to be held at Trafalgar rquaro to-night, as it is quite in line with the object of that meeting, which Is to protest against increasing the tax oh the workingman's beer and spirits white 1 aving the aristocrat's cliaaijagne untouched.Masked Men Knter a House and Cut Ofl a Youilff fJIrl'H Trrmcs.

To wards midnight Bosco appeared at the door. He was invited to come inside an8 he sat down. A game of cards was proposed anc Bosco took a hand. He kept his eyes upoi Epauleta and it became evident that hC meant to do mischief. A dispute arose anc Epauleta said Bosco was cheating. io was alive, but not all sorry for having had his revenge. Tho home of the girl, No. 483 South Canal street, was also visited. Tressy sat up in bed and rehearsed the story. "He may have been in love with me," she said, "but I was certainly not in love with bim, but please don't put that In tho paper." Tressy will be in condition to resume har studies and her love making soon. She soon became aware that some one was In tha room, and, looking up, saw two men wearing moccasins and black masks standing near her. One of the men carried a large knife and a pair of shears. One of the fellows grasped the girl by the throat and warned her not to scream under penalty of having her throat cut. He told her he wanted to be revenged on her father.

Minnie, of Michigan, at Port Sarnie. Every man started away off as though the race were to last six minutes and defeat meant death. Fifteen men, bunched together, scrambled for a few paces to get their legs working, and then the speedy men showed what was in them. The first man to shoot out of the bunch was Small, dressed all in brown, and with long, slender legs that twiakled like the spokes in a buggy wheel. Next to him came Snowden, and then the men stretched themselves out into the line which will be gradually thinned out during six long days. "You touch the curd and Til stab you, said the barber. London, May 11.--Dispatches from MC»- oow show that Russia is beginning to realize in a very practical way tho benefits of her southward march in Central Asia. The city cf Merv, which was seized last year, is the c:'Lt ;r of an immense caravan trade, and her bazirs attract merchants from all parts of Turkomania, from Afghanistan, from Persia and even from Europe. This Is the first spring that the place has been in full possession of the Russians, anil the spring trade has opened with great activity. Shoals of workmen, many of whom have been brought from Russia, are busily engaged building churches, mosques and hundreds of houses, both for business and residence purposes. The wealth of the Mervii and of the surrounding tribes has marvelously increased, and this fact goes far to reconcile them to Russian domination and taxes. Civilization and fixed government are also following in the wake of the Russian conquest, and the slave trade of which Merv had been a centre from prohistoric times Is almost wholly exterminated. Domestic slavery is still tolerated, with some modifications, but, as no more slaves can be bought and the children of slave mothers are born free, the Institution is doomed tj extinction with the deiMi of the present generation. Even in the case of domestic slaves on excoption is made in favor of Persia, for a recent ukase of the czar commands that every Persian now held In bondage by the Tutkcmans shall be set froe and returned to Persia. Hundreds of liberated Persians havCs thus Ixon sent back across the frontier within the past few weeks. ■varybody VaatsHI, Gail ft Ax's Navy amoking tobaeeo.

Meanwhile liis accomplice had gone through the house, but secured nothing excepting the silver on the dining-room table. The men then left and Emma called in the neighbors. Mr. and Mrs. Thrall returned home soon afterwards. They can' ot account for tht outrage. Miss Thrall is a very handsome young woman and highly educated. It if thought that the men had taken umbrage at Mr. Thrall's strict manner of doing business, and took this method of revenging themselves. The police are working on the case. At 2 p. u. the rebels' fire gradually ceased, the troops, however, still keepiag up ( scattered fire all along the line, graduallj slackening until 4 o'clock, when only a few dropping shots were heard.

When the men started everybody yelled with a will. Small made the first lap, and the crowd yelled still more. He rolled around like lightning with his body bent far forward and bis arms sawing the air, and the crowd yelled faithfully for 4 minutes and 13 seconds, in which time Small covered the first mile in the race. Lewis C. Bartlett, of New York, was appointed second deputy commissioner of pensions; Arthur D. Bissell, collector of customs for the district of Buffalo Creek, N. Y.: A. M.

Washington, May 11.—It was officially announced in the Catholic churches of this city at high mass that Washington bad beoi selected as the site of the new Catholic university. A conference of Catholic church men was held in Baltimore last week to de cide this matter, and after mature consider ation, Washington was selected. Bishop Ireland, of Minnesota, who is deputed t* select the ground and make arrangements for the erection of the university, m an address at St. Matthew' i church, said this city was agree 1 upon be& use it possessed greatei literary, scientific, political and philosophic advantages than any other city in tha country; it is the capital of the nation,'was the centre of social and literary life of the country; and while other cities had offered great money inducements to have tlie university located in their midst, none could offer the inducements which were peculiar to Washington. Tne nucleus for the establishment of this university was the donation last fall, by Miss Caldwell, of New York, of $300,000. which amcunt was accepted by the Catholii council in Baltimore, and a sum added which will insure its erection. The university will be devotad to training and educating Catholic youth for the priesthood. Wm. Bruce, lately a prisoner of Bjel, whC escaped, says Riel's force is a little over 400. half of whom are on the other side of thf river. He also says that when ammunitior was served to the rebels only one keg ot powder remained. Bullets are also scarce Women and children had been sent to thC other side of the river. The rebel loss is no: known, but supposed to be severe. UavebalL It was painfully evident that Noremac, the walker, was not a skater. The wicked rollers seemed master. of bis feet, and his bunchy little body swayed around in evident uneasiness, while his calves rose and fell under his white tights, plainly showing their desperate struggle for supremacy over the wheels. Harriman, too, excited pity among those who did not know what he had already done. He seemed impressed with the idea that to manage a roller skate properly you must put your heel down first as carefully as in a walking match, and his huge frame seemed tormented with the reluctance of the rollers to undergo any such-treatment.

Milwaukee, May 11.— Alexandor Hibbard, a 16-year old son of Jared Hibbard, is the victim of a curious and most distressing accident. The lad is a great joker, and is in the habit of entertaining the hoarders and members of the family by his ludicrous antics and quaint sayings. Soon after dinner young Hibbard began fooling with a trade dollar, and endeavored to execute some sleight-of-hand tricks for the edification of the spectators. At length, taking the silver dollar in his hand, be threw it up and caught it in hii mouth. The coin slipped down his throat, where it lodged, causing the most agonizing suffering. The coin was finally forced down into his stomach. It will have to be removed by n dangerous surgical o fx "ration, but he is iu a fail- way to die in the meantime. The following is a list of the killed anc wounded: Among tho troops — Gunnel Phillips, s-hot through the stomach while ir the ravine, died while leing carried in Thomas J.

Sig. Miincini's ambitious scheme of planting u chain of Italian colonies on the Red Sea littoral has received a severe set back by news which has just been received from Hassowah, and which is being industriously disseminated by the foes of the forC8gn minister. Tho news from Massowah is to jthe effect that tho terrible climate of that edge of the SoudaU is ruining the health of the troops, who are dying by scores of enteric and typhoid and that there is no prospect of any important extension of trade with the interior. The opposition complain bitteslv of the action of the government in frittering away lives and resources in fruitless enterprises on the shore of the Red Sea whioh might be expended to much better advantage on the Mediterranean coast. » Totals 9 9 Totals tl 1 Following is the record of the America! association clubs to date: WESTERN CLUBS.

Bangor, May 11.—Whep the British troops camo up the Penobscot in 1812, they chased all the native inilitia into the woods and sacked Bangor and the whole neighborhood. Peoplo who had any ready money buried it, and recant developments indicate that some of them cither forgot the hiding place of their wealth or did not live to dig it up. The other day Thomas Patten, a Hampden farmer living about six miles from Bangor, while moving a rock pile on his land, discovered a dish containing about half a peek of silver coins, 197 of them being larger than American dollars. There were Louis d'or, Mexican and Bolivian dollars, Spanish pesetas and reals, with several other kinds. The coins are from 100 to 130 years old. A Kellc of 1813. Br.

BITTERS Boston, May 11.—Toe supreme judicial court of Massachusetts has promulgated an important decision, which will affect the proposed disposal of over $1,000,000. The decision is in relation to the payment of boun • ties for soldiers, which setttes the point that although the legislature may by special act authorize towns to pay such bounties, yet such acts are unconstitutional and towns cannot assess taxes to provide for the "contemplated payment. In 1SS2 the legislature of Massachusetts pas-sod an act authorizing the town of Acton to raise money to pay to each of 81 soldiers who during tho war had been credited to the town a bounty of $126 each. Subsequently at a town meeting, by a vote of 219 to 215, it was ordered that the sum of $4,000 be raised by taxation to pay such bounties, and also a bill of about $800 incurred in lobbying tbo measure through the legislature. Ten tax payers secured the lojral services of Samuel Hoar, who brought a bill in equity to enjoin the treasurer of the town from paying the mousy in accordance with the vote. The ca-:o was reserved for the full court, whose decision is in favor of the petitioners, Payment of Bounties to Soldiers. The story goes that this party wai organized and led by Capt. James W. Kennedy, of St. Paul, who commanded a company in the fcmicr Riel rebellion, and became sc •noted for his courage and determination. Soon after the rebellion began Kennedy disappeared. This was more than five weeks ago. His destination no one knew. He has just returned to St. Paul as suddenly as he left it, an 1 it now becomes known that he penetrated to Riel's camp with a small party of men, evading American and Caqqdian civil im 1 military authorities, and carrying with him overland the three Gatling guns, 1,009 Ion? range rides and a good supply of ammunition. The trip was long and laborious, but safely accomplished. The party entered Dakota from the Minnesota side, crossed the line east of the Turtle mountains, striking straight across the country, and going np on the west sido of the Saskatchawan, leaving Clark's Crossing to the right. They joined Riel's forces at Batouclle the day after the tight at Fish Creek, having marched some 1,500 miles through the ensmy'a country. Capt. Kennedy is now working, in connection with othar sympathizers in this city and Minneapolis, to render Riel all the assistance possible.
