Vincent stepped off a train unconcernedly, entirely unsuspecting apprehension, when he was confronted by Deputy Ray with a cocked revolver in his hand. Vincent, thinking the officer was a highwayman, Immediately*threw up his bands, stating that he had po money about him. Ray'replied that he wanted him for the crime of embezzlement and hot for his money. Vincent at onco broke completely down, cried like a child and begged the officer not to take him back to his old home handcuffed, promising to wave the formality of waiting for a requisition from I lie governor of Alabama.

The lists of the dead previously printed contained several names which ivere obtained probably from belief ■that the persons wero fatally injured. The names tlnis incorrectly n-f rted were: Barruck, found to be injured; Miss Swal'ow, ascertained lo be Mr. Swallow, wounded; JauiM Gates, found to he-mistaken for Harry •Gay; Mr. Stone and Charles Swan, mistaken for Mr. Snow; Mr. North, a mistake for Mr. Lord; William Houghton, identical with 8. J. Houghton; Frank A. Hewins, nlivo and llhiniui'ed. A Mrs. Kennard was reported killed, but no trace can lie found of her, and Hie name was probably confounded with MDs. Cardinal. No official list has yet been St. Pktehsbuho, March 16.—It is semiofficially unnmmeod that on Sunday the polios were informed that an attempt might be made upon the life of tho cztir on the anniversary of thedeath-of his father, Alexander II. Ac tin;: upojj the suggestion thus put forth tfce rOlifce etereised unusual vigilance. The suspicious, actions of sovoral persons standing near the Anitepkin palace attracted the attention of the police, who arrested the suspected ones before they could conceal the fact that they held iu their hands han.-l grenades and boiribs, whiufi they wero prepared to throw at the czar when,lie should pass on his way to the cathedral. .There isBtill much excitement in the city and the police and military are extraordinarily alert. Arrests of suspected persons are of almost hourly occurrence.Habrisbdbo, March 16.—The house committee on congressional apportionment had under consideration last night their report on tho division of the state into congres jional districts. They have not formally passed on their work, but have about com" to a conclusion with reference to it, and wi' report to the hense to-day. They have conceded to the Philadelphia de'e Ration six Republican districts iu tlin city, which, if tho legislature approves the report, will shut out Mr. Ran I-ill and compel him to fight his battle at the b.illot b»x in tho future as well as in the no iD Inatlng convention. The composition of the Philadelphia districts and the Republican majority in each on the Farfield voto are us follows: *4KlM* POWDER Mi*. Ives movod to strike out the first section so that an explanation of the bill and its objects might be had. Mr, Crosby said the ovils sought to be remedied were within the knowledge of all. Not speaking of the crime and misery and want caused by the liquor traffic, what was more important was the evil existing in the political power of the saloon. If nnyono doubted that such a power existed he should watch the votes of members of this house. 11 When ti e news spread that Vincent had been brought back the excitement was great, targe crowds gathered at the jail to catch a glimpse of the prisoner, and knots of men assembled on the streets and disicussed the arrest and bringing back of the noted fugitive. Il has long been suspected here that Vincent was in Mexico, occasionally making trips to Texas, where his family is said to live. They left here about a year or so after his flight, and, it is supposed, went to Texas, where they have been ever since. Vincent's flight on Jan. 39, 1883, his embezzlement of $225,000 of state funds, which he lost in speculation and gambling, and the efforts of detectives to arrest him are matters of history. It remained for a simple deputy sheriff, assisted by tho active co-operation of the present state executive, to finally run to tho ground this most noted of Alabama's defaulters. Vincent nlways commanded the respect of his fellow men, was very popular, and even now commands the sympathy of the people here on account of his interesting family. Vincent broke down completely, is haggard and worn and looks twenty years older than when he left here. His trial or indictment, containing thirty two counts for embezzlement, will come up at this present term of the circuit court now in session and is eagerly awaited by tho p»b-lic. It is rumored that some startling revelations will be produced at the trial if Vincr nt will unbosom himself. First, 8,180; second, 3,136; third, 3,818; fourth, 5,954; fifth, 3,433; sixth, 2,463. The remaining districts are arranged as fol'ows:Mr. Cantor asked Mr. Crosby if. he recognize 1 that power when he was going around the saloons last fall as a candidate for the assembly. TJ'eOSicial Messenger publishes the following statement: '-'The czar and .family attended tho requiem service in memory of the Czar Alexander II on Sunday afternoon, and a half hour later started for Gatschina." The paper makes no mention of any unusual Incident having occurred on that day or since. Absolutely Pure.

This remark rather nonplussed Mr. Crosby, bat he continued without replying, saying that this bill would reduce the number of saloons and would be sure to be onforced if passed. After quoting favorite criticisms .from several liewspapers, he movod that the bill be progressed. Tho Democrats endeavored to retard its progress, but by a vote of 02 to 51 the motion was carried.

V TjOndou, March 10.—The Russian embassy in London has received dispatches confirming the reports of the discovery of a plot to asimssinnte the czar and the arrest of t.he ringlenders. These dispatches say that no actual attempt was made to kill the czar, as the plot fc*d been discovered before he left the palace.

IlAKTPokD, March 16.—At the annual meeting of the Connecticut Congregational club in this city, Mr. Yung Wing was elected president for the ensuing year. Mr. Wing is a native of China, but has been a resident of this country for nearly twenty years, coming ns a commissioner of education with Chinese students. He became a naturalized citizen, joined the Congregational church, abandoned his queue, and married a Hartford lady, who died about a year ago. Since the return of the Chinese students, Mr. Wing has divided his time between this city and Washing 3Dn, and has made many friends in both cities. He now shows the marks of approaching age, his hair and mustache brang streaked with .gray. There wero undoubtedly uino cars in tho train, as the tops of nine are to be fcund, but the remains of two of the cars are in such a state of demolition that it is impossible to discern whether there were two cars or one. This was caused by the fall down the em- and consequently the rumor has prevailed that there were but eight cars in the train. Several of the stoves of the cars have been removed, and in every case t-ho Iron rods which serve to hold them in position have been found to be secure, while not a stove door was burst open, although one stove was badly broken. Everybody who visited the scene carried away portions of the wreckage as momentoes. Lonbon, March 10.—A dispatch from St. Petersburg to The Daily News says: While the czar was returning from the requtam services in the Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Pitul a bomb, attached to a cord, was throwji in his direction. The intention was to tighten the -string, which was connected with the mechanjeism, and thus explode the bomb, but before it could be executed tho criminal and a suspected accomplice were seizad. It was found that they lived together in n lodging house in a suburb of the city. The police visitod this house and discovered there a quantity of explosives and a number of revolutionary pamphlets.

Qreenleaf to duty »; au assistant in Surgeon General Moore's office. The secretary of war detailed Maj. Greenleaf for this position, and tho surgeon general has complained to tho president about it. lie claims that the duties of this offioe arc confidential and in the nature of an adjutant to tho head of the bureau, and, therefore, he should have ail officer under him of his own selection, and with this complaint it is said'he has coupled an intention of resigning unless sus&ined by the president On the other hand, it is asserted by those in position to know that Secretary Endicott left here a few days ago firmly determined to brook no interference by the president In this matter, and that if the latter directs the dotail of an officer selected by Surgeon General Mooro to supplant Maj. Greealeaf, the secretary of war will never again return to Washington as a cabinut officer. Ills Department. To Ti|lt Battlefields. With Magnificent Scenory.
