New York, March SO.—With a tremcn-lous thump tho French steamer Scotia went uchore off Fire Island yesterday morning. She was eleven days overdue, having left Mar. eilles on Feb. 20. Tho vessel had over 1,100 souls on boaril, most of whom were 1 tali nil immigrants w ho intend to settle in Iho western states. The steamer experienced unusually severe weather on the passage across, and much anxiety was felt by the friends in this city of the passengers on board. Philadelphia, March 80.—Tlie superb bison at the Zoological gardens, known as John L. Sul ivan, broko his neck yestei-day in a mad struggle for freedom. While wintering on Staten Island the Wild West show lost almost a dozen buffaloes, and as the time approached for the departure of the show for England Buffalo Bill began to look about the bisons. When lie heard that Sullivan and Old Pete, the big bull of the Zoological garden in this city, could lie bought, he closed a bargain at once. The show sails on Thursday next for Wndon, and Buck Taylor, Billy Bullock and Joe Eiquirol, the cowboys, with three big ponies, came over this morning from New York to laC«o the buffaloes. The cowboys succeeded in conquering OH Pete, and he was le.l with little difficulty between two horses to the stock yard of the Pennsylvania railroad in West Philadelphia. Sullivan hnd a bad record for ugliness, and the society was glad to get rid of him. The attempt was mnde to capture Sullivan. The buffaloes were driven under a shed, and Bnck Taylor, who was mounted on Chieftain, threw his noose, and missed. The buffaloes then made a break, led by Sullivan. Bullock flung his noose over the horns of Sullivan, but he quickly shook It off. Taylor's noose then shot through the air, and Sullivan come to a stand so suddenly as to almost lift Taylor off his horse. The bison then made a dash across the yard, and swung around a tree. While the other horsemen were hurrying to the assistance cf Taylor, Sullivan made a furious pitch, and brolfo the lariat. In an instant he rushed at Taylor, who made an attempt to turn his horse, but the bull swept down, and, with a wild toss of his bend, ripped open the right haunch of Chieftoiu with bis sharp horn. The bull made another plunge, but the crowd gave a cry of alarm in time for Taylor to pull his horse away. A gate was opened and Taylor gashed ahead of Sullivan and escaped. Billy Bullock then made a dash for Sullivan, and the bull was about to plant his horns into his horse, when the cowboys were told to come out of the yard and Sullivan was left master of the Hold. Dr. Huidekoper, dean of the veterinary school at the university, was in the crowd, and he was soon by the side of Buck Taylor's horse. The horn had opened an artery and torn muscles and flesh. A stream of blood poured from the wound. Dr. Huidekoper stuffed a handkerchief into the wound, and afterward filled It with oakum and had it bathed with cold water. Sioux C'itt, la., March 20.—The Haddock murder trial is the one topic of conversation in the city. Increasing popular interest in tho case was shown hi the court room when the introduction of evidence began. The largo court room was packed. Thirty or forty ladies were in attendance. Several of the ladies are wives or relatives of tho defendants.At the Jersey City Athletic club building Maurice Daly and William Sexton, the billiardiets, gave an exhibition before a large assemblage.

Notwithstanding the absence of M. D. O'Connell, of Fort Dodge, who is expected to make tho closing argument for the state, tho prosecution promptly proceeded with tile evidence. A heavy sea was running and fierce winds prevailed. She struck heavily on the outer bar, and is supposed to lie lying at a point twelve miles east of Firo Island. She is completely dismantled, her smokestack being the only conspicuous object above the deck line. Her innsts were lost at sea during the prevalence of a heavy gale. Nows of the accident reached the office of the Merritt Wrecking coinpnny, and an hour later tho wrecking steamer J. J. Merritt was dispatched to the scene. Tlio distance from this city to the point where tho Scotia is reported to have grounded is about seventyfive miles.

Va., March 20.—Frank Gray man, a young man of Lawrence county, Ohio, was visiting at Capertown, Fayette county, W. Vn. He, in company with John Scalers, a friend, and Mrs. Scalers, wont out for walk. Over some trivial matter a dispute arose in which Mrs. Scalers sided with G layman against her husband. The latter grew very angry, and declaring that his wife preferred Grayman to him drew a revolver and fired at Grayman. The first shot entered the left breast, causing Instant rleath. The people wore so excited over the affair that strong talk of lynching was indulged in and it was only by means of a strong guard that the authorities wore able to put Scalers in jail. Mrs. Scalors exonerates Grayman and says that ho was perfectly innocent of anything that would justify the net of her husband. A Dangerous Temper. It was a grizzly sight' when Haddock's rubber coat was held up before the jury. It was mud spattered, and there were the great, black stains from the minister's blood, and through the collar the two gaping holes of entrance nnd exit torn by tho murderous bullet. The cane and a peculiar weapon which the murdered minister carried wore also handed the jury. Tho weapon was a small, cast Iron wheel, to which n piece of rope was attached for a handle, evidently intended for self-defense.

Tbo steamship's signals of distress were wen by the patrol of the Bluo Point life saving station when she struck, and all hands at tho station were called out to render assistance. They could not send a boat into the heavy sen, but succeeded, after repeated attempts, in landing a life lino aboard of her. The vessel was beached by Capt. Ruffat, her commander, to save her from a more disastrous ftite, giving tho pasnoiigors tho unusual experience of being twico wrecked on one voyage. Wesley Hitcher testified that Dr. Haddock and Key. C. C. Turner came to his stable about V o'clock on the night of Aug. 3 last and got a buggy to go to Greenville, a suburb of Sioux City, a mite from tho stable, and that after they had gone a stranger came to the stable door and, standing outside in the dark, asked where the buggy and minister bad gone and when they would return.William Truex and M.

C. C. Turner was one of thrilling and pathetic Interest He told of driving from the stable to Dr. Haddock's home, where the latter put on a rubber coat and, as he started on the perilous fatal ride in the darkness, how his anxious wife said to the brother minister iu the buggy: "Bring him Back safe to me.'' The witness' face flushed at the memory of the scene. He controlled his feelings with d.fflculty, and many au eye in the audience was wet. The witness then recounted in detail the ride in the rain and darkness; how at Greenville Dr. Haddock got out and peered through the windows of the saloon ngaif.t which he was seeking evidence; how they returned and how thoj parted at his own gate, Dr. Haddock ditving the buggy back to tho stable. Wlien the life saving crow discovered the vessel she wan lying in the midst of a very high sea, which was sweeping bcr clear lore and aft. The liiglv northeasterly wind made work for the life savers impossible for a time, aiul as a result it was somo time after the discovery that the life apparatus was hauled to the beach. The gale increased in violence, and the steamship swung broadside on to tho shine and settled in tho sand. A heavy sea eti uek and stripped her of her rigging. The Scolia's crew commenced to handle the lifo Un«, but this work was retarded at every step by the throng of frantic steerage passengers c'.inging to the deck like a black cloud of flies. Chicago, March 20.—Arrests were made la.st evening of Daniel Wren, county commissioner, and Adam Echs, ex-commissioner, 0:1 capiases charging them with conspiracy to defraud tho county of $1,000.

A Unit 5DJ women were among tho passenger*, mo.it of whom were taken from the lhirgmulia after that vessel had been run into by mi Italian vessel near Naple. THE FIRST MAN ASHORE. ment.s. The testimony of Thomas Jarvis and Jchn McGregor, livery stable employes was that Dr. Haddock returned at 10 o'clock and a few moments later started away, but immediately returned and asked "it anybody was laying for him," pointing to men standing just opposite on Water street- They said; "Take care of yourself." Ho replied: "I can do that," and started boldly out. They began unhitching the horse, and a few miuutea later heard a pistol shot. Rushing to the door, they were in time to see Haddock stagger forward and fall and recover, and then sink finally in the gntter at the side of the crossing. They ran to him, but though he tried to speak they could distinguish no word, and after a few gasps ho was dead. They saw ten or fifteen men ruiming away from the fatal spot, but knew none of them. I'iitbburo, March 38.—General Master Workman I'owderly has not sent his secrot circular calling for a special meeting at Hurrisburg to tho representatives of the 11,000 knights with headquarters in Pittsburg. The fact of Pittsburg being overlooked by Mr. Powderly is a matter of considerable comment to-day among the members of District Assembly 3. They cannot understand why the secret circular should bo sout to every other section of the stale except to Pittsburg. District Master Workman Cleorgo Dovey said that they would be represented at the Harrisburg meeting. Overlooked by I'owderly. Liverpool, March 2ft—In the Liverpool grand national steeple chase, Mr. E. Jay's Gamecock, 154 pounds, was first, Baron 8chroedor's Savoyard, 153 pounds, second and Lord Wolverton's Johnny Long tail, 148 pounds, third. Sullivan had to be. captured, and Buck Taylor mounted to return to the attack, when Agent O'Donnell, of the Society to Prevent Cruelty to Animals, stopped him, saying that he would not allow the other horses to return to the yard, as Sullivan was a mad beast of wonderful power, and would kill them. New York, March 8ft.—No word has been received here by persons interested in the Dauntless to the effect that she has arrived or been sighted on the other side. The dispatch received in Boston reporting her arrival off Roche's point is not credited. "I don't want to break your laws," said Buck, "but we must take that buffalo, and I hope you won't object to us going iu on foot." New Obleans, La., March 2ft—Yesterday's exhibition game resulted: Detroit! 8, New Orleans 2; ba?e hits, Detroits 14, New Orleans 4; errors, Detroits 3, New Orleans 8; pitrhers, Knowlton and Aydelotte. No objection was made and the cowboys wont to work. Taylor swung his noose around the big bull's neck and Esquirel threw his under the fore feet When it was drawn tight the cowboys thought they had their bufTalo. but Sullivan snapped the lariat and dashed around one side of the tree, while the cowboys ran the other way. They yelled for a rope, and "Weasel Bill" Loomis bravely ran into the arena with a thick rope. Esquirel, after several attempts, put the noose over the horns of Sullivan, and he madly plunged. Again he broke loose, and again was entangled by the horns and made fast. The cowboys had just left the yard, and were preparing to lash two horses together to take Sullivan to the train, when the bull grew fierce in his endeavors to free himself. With a wild plunge his fore feet caught the rope, and Sullivan dropned on his left shoulder blade. Back Taylor thought the toll was choking, and with Dr. Huidekoper and the other cowboys jumped into the buffalo yard. Tho noose around the neck was ;loose, but Sullivan was gasping his last breath. There was intense excitement, and the men began to blow into the nostrils of the fallen chanv pion. It was of no avail. Sullivan would not go to England; he was dead. The poor beast in his fight for liberty had broken his neck. The Scotia is lying easily in the sand, but if heavy tvratlier sets in she will pound and may lm seriously damaged. She is leaking slightly. Tlio passengers are in a sorry plight. The ship is overcrowded on account of the accident to tho Burgundia, and tho voyage beiug tempestuous therp was much suffering among them. Tho wrecking steamer which went to tho rescue was unable to go alongside on account of tho position of the steamer, nnd the passengers had to bo taken off in small boats. Mo Apology from Sliafer. New York, March 24—President Greene, of tho Now York Press club, addressed a note to Ira Shufer on the 23d inst inviting him to apologias to the reporters of New York for insulting them during his defense of exalderman Cleary.

New York, March SO.—With a tremcn-lous thump tho French steamer Scotia went uchore off Fire Island yesterday morning. She was eleven days overdue, having left Mar. eilles on Feb. 20. Tho vessel had over 1,100 souls on boaril, most of whom were 1 tali nil immigrants w ho intend to settle in Iho western states. The steamer experienced unusually severe weather on the passage across, and much anxiety was felt by the friends in this city of the passengers on board. Philadelphia, March 80.—Tlie superb bison at the Zoological gardens, known as John L. Sul ivan, broko his neck yestei-day in a mad struggle for freedom. While wintering on Staten Island the Wild West show lost almost a dozen buffaloes, and as the time approached for the departure of the show for England Buffalo Bill began to look about the bisons. When lie heard that Sullivan and Old Pete, the big bull of the Zoological garden in this city, could lie bought, he closed a bargain at once. The show sails on Thursday next for Wndon, and Buck Taylor, Billy Bullock and Joe Eiquirol, the cowboys, with three big ponies, came over this morning from New York to laC«o the buffaloes. The cowboys succeeded in conquering OH Pete, and he was le.l with little difficulty between two horses to the stock yard of the Pennsylvania railroad in West Philadelphia. Sullivan hnd a bad record for ugliness, and the society was glad to get rid of him. The attempt was mnde to capture Sullivan. The buffaloes were driven under a shed, and Bnck Taylor, who was mounted on Chieftain, threw his noose, and missed. The buffaloes then made a break, led by Sullivan. Bullock flung his noose over the horns of Sullivan, but he quickly shook It off. Taylor's noose then shot through the air, and Sullivan come to a stand so suddenly as to almost lift Taylor off his horse. The bison then made a dash across the yard, and swung around a tree. While the other horsemen were hurrying to the assistance cf Taylor, Sullivan made a furious pitch, and brolfo the lariat. In an instant he rushed at Taylor, who made an attempt to turn his horse, but the bull swept down, and, with a wild toss of his bend, ripped open the right haunch of Chieftoiu with bis sharp horn. The bull made another plunge, but the crowd gave a cry of alarm in time for Taylor to pull his horse away. A gate was opened and Taylor gashed ahead of Sullivan and escaped. Billy Bullock then made a dash for Sullivan, and the bull was about to plant his horns into his horse, when the cowboys were told to come out of the yard and Sullivan was left master of the Hold. Dr. Huidekoper, dean of the veterinary school at the university, was in the crowd, and he was soon by the side of Buck Taylor's horse. The horn had opened an artery and torn muscles and flesh. A stream of blood poured from the wound. Dr. Huidekoper stuffed a handkerchief into the wound, and afterward filled It with oakum and had it bathed with cold water. Sioux C'itt, la., March 20.—The Haddock murder trial is the one topic of conversation in the city. Increasing popular interest in tho case was shown hi the court room when the introduction of evidence began. The largo court room was packed. Thirty or forty ladies were in attendance. Several of the ladies are wives or relatives of tho defendants.At the Jersey City Athletic club building Maurice Daly and William Sexton, the billiardiets, gave an exhibition before a large assemblage. Daly scored 200 points and Sexton 70. W. S. Canon, of Newark, is matched to shoot pigeons with Mr. Davll, of Greenville, N. J., for (500, on the Jersey City Heights Gun club grounds at Marion, N.

Notwithstanding the absence of M. D. O'Connell, of Fort Dodge, who is expected to make tho closing argument for the state, tho prosecution promptly proceeded with tile evidence. A heavy sea was running and fierce winds prevailed. She struck heavily on the outer bar, and is supposed to lie lying at a point twelve miles east of Firo Island. She is completely dismantled, her smokestack being the only conspicuous object above the deck line. Her innsts were lost at sea during the prevalence of a heavy gale. Nows of the accident reached the office of the Merritt Wrecking coinpnny, and an hour later tho wrecking steamer J. J. Merritt was dispatched to the scene. Tlio distance from this city to the point where tho Scotia is reported to have grounded is about seventyfive miles. All arrangements have been made for the contest between Jimmy Mitchell, of Philadelphia, and Paddy Smith, of Brooklyn. They are to fight on March 29for 12,000, The Police Gazette diamond belt, and the light weight championship of America. Pahkehsbcrg, W. Va., March 20.—Frank Gray man, a young man of Lawrence county, Ohio, was visiting at Capertown, Fayette county, W. Vn. He, in company with John Scalers, a friend, and Mrs. Scalers, wont out for walk. Over some trivial matter a dispute arose in which Mrs. Scalers sided with G layman against her husband. The latter grew very angry, and declaring that his wife preferred Grayman to him drew a revolver and fired at Grayman. The first shot entered the left breast, causing Instant rleath. The people wore so excited over the affair that strong talk of lynching was indulged in and it was only by means of a strong guard that the authorities wore able to put Scalers in jail. Mrs. Scalors exonerates Grayman and says that ho was perfectly innocent of anything that would justify the net of her husband. A Dangerous Temper. It was a grizzly sight' when Haddock's rubber coat was held up before the jury. It was mud spattered, and there were the great, black stains from the minister's blood, and through the collar the two gaping holes of entrance nnd exit torn by tho murderous bullet. The cane and a peculiar weapon which the murdered minister carried wore also handed the jury. Tho weapon was a small, cast Iron wheel, to which n piece of rope was attached for a handle, evidently intended for self-defense.

Tbo steamship's signals of distress were wen by the patrol of the Bluo Point life saving station when she struck, and all hands at tho station were called out to render assistance. They could not send a boat into the heavy sen, but succeeded, after repeated attempts, in landing a life lino aboard of her. The vessel was beached by Capt. Ruffat, her commander, to save her from a more disastrous ftite, giving tho pasnoiigors tho unusual experience of being twico wrecked on one voyage. Wesley Hitcher testified that Dr. Haddock and Key. C. C. Turner came to his stable about V o'clock on the night of Aug. 3 last and got a buggy to go to Greenville, a suburb of Sioux City, a mite from tho stable, and that after they had gone a stranger came to the stable door and, standing outside in the dark, asked where the buggy and minister bad gone and when they would return.William Truex and M.

C. C. Turner was one of thrilling and pathetic Interest He told of driving from the stable to Dr. Haddock's home, where the latter put on a rubber coat and, as he started on the perilous fatal ride in the darkness, how his anxious wife said to the brother minister iu the buggy: "Bring him Back safe to me.'' The witness' face flushed at the memory of the scene. He controlled his feelings with d.fflculty, and many au eye in the audience was wet. The witness then recounted in detail the ride in the rain and darkness; how at Greenville Dr. Haddock got out and peered through the windows of the saloon ngaif.t which he was seeking evidence; how they returned and how thoj parted at his own gate, Dr. Haddock ditving the buggy back to tho stable. Wlien the life saving crow discovered the vessel she wan lying in the midst of a very high sea, which was sweeping bcr clear lore and aft. The liiglv northeasterly wind made work for the life savers impossible for a time, aiul as a result it was somo time after the discovery that the life apparatus was hauled to the beach. The gale increased in violence, and the steamship swung broadside on to tho shine and settled in tho sand. A heavy sea eti uek and stripped her of her rigging. The Scolia's crew commenced to handle the lifo Un«, but this work was retarded at every step by the throng of frantic steerage passengers c'.inging to the deck like a black cloud of flies. Chicago, March 20.—Arrests were made la.st evening of Daniel Wren, county commissioner, and Adam Echs, ex-commissioner, 0:1 capiases charging them with conspiracy to defraud tho county of $1,000. The men were brought before Judge Anthony, who accepted tho bondsmen ottered for their appearanco when wanted, when tho regular bail will be ilxed. Ex-Commissioner Van Felt, for whom a capias was also issued, gave himself up to tho sheriff at a late hour, but was allowed to go to his home on condition that iio appear in court to-day with his tiondsnien.

Farina states that the ship experienced terrible storms for over a week, tho vessel tossing terribly and suffering much damage. Many persons had limbs broken and suffered other injuries from being thrown about the steerage. Thursday tho machinery gave out, ar.d the vt iud and sea running so high the captain derid d to run ashore after cutting tho masts away. A Unit 5DJ women were among tho passenger*, mo.it of whom were taken from the lhirgmulia after that vessel had been run into by mi Italian vessel near Naple. THE FIRST MAN ASHORE. ment.s. The testimony of Thomas Jarvis and Jchn McGregor, livery stable employes was that Dr. Haddock returned at 10 o'clock and a few moments later started away, but immediately returned and asked "it anybody was laying for him," pointing to men standing just opposite on Water street- They said; "Take care of yourself." Ho replied: "I can do that," and started boldly out. They began unhitching the horse, and a few miuutea later heard a pistol shot. Rushing to the door, they were in time to see Haddock stagger forward and fall and recover, and then sink finally in the gntter at the side of the crossing. They ran to him, but though he tried to speak they could distinguish no word, and after a few gasps ho was dead. They saw ten or fifteen men ruiming away from the fatal spot, but knew none of them. I'iitbburo, March 38.—General Master Workman I'owderly has not sent his secrot circular calling for a special meeting at Hurrisburg to tho representatives of the 11,000 knights with headquarters in Pittsburg. The fact of Pittsburg being overlooked by Mr. Powderly is a matter of considerable comment to-day among the members of District Assembly 3. They cannot understand why the secret circular should bo sout to every other section of the stale except to Pittsburg. District Master Workman Cleorgo Dovey said that they would be represented at the Harrisburg meeting. Overlooked by I'owderly. Liverpool, March 2ft—In the Liverpool grand national steeple chase, Mr. E. Jay's Gamecock, 154 pounds, was first, Baron 8chroedor's Savoyard, 153 pounds, second and Lord Wolverton's Johnny Long tail, 148 pounds, third. Sullivan had to be. captured, and Buck Taylor mounted to return to the attack, when Agent O'Donnell, of the Society to Prevent Cruelty to Animals, stopped him, saying that he would not allow the other horses to return to the yard, as Sullivan was a mad beast of wonderful power, and would kill them. New York, March 8ft.—No word has been received here by persons interested in the Dauntless to the effect that she has arrived or been sighted on the other side. The dispatch received in Boston reporting her arrival off Roche's point is not credited. "I don't want to break your laws," said Buck, "but we must take that buffalo, and I hope you won't object to us going iu on foot." New Obleans, La., March 2ft—Yesterday's exhibition game resulted: Detroit! 8, New Orleans 2; ba?e hits, Detroits 14, New Orleans 4; errors, Detroits 3, New Orleans 8; pitrhers, Knowlton and Aydelotte. No objection was made and the cowboys wont to work. Taylor swung his noose around the big bull's neck and Esquirel threw his under the fore feet When it was drawn tight the cowboys thought they had their bufTalo. but Sullivan snapped the lariat and dashed around one side of the tree, while the cowboys ran the other way. They yelled for a rope, and "Weasel Bill" Loomis bravely ran into the arena with a thick rope. Esquirel, after several attempts, put the noose over the horns of Sullivan, and he madly plunged. Again he broke loose, and again was entangled by the horns and made fast. The cowboys had just left the yard, and were preparing to lash two horses together to take Sullivan to the train, when the bull grew fierce in his endeavors to free himself. With a wild plunge his fore feet caught the rope, and Sullivan dropned on his left shoulder blade. Back Taylor thought the toll was choking, and with Dr. Huidekoper and the other cowboys jumped into the buffalo yard. Tho noose around the neck was ;loose, but Sullivan was gasping his last breath. There was intense excitement, and the men began to blow into the nostrils of the fallen chanv pion. It was of no avail. Sullivan would not go to England; he was dead. The poor beast in his fight for liberty had broken his neck. The Scotia is lying easily in the sand, but if heavy tvratlier sets in she will pound and may lm seriously damaged. She is leaking slightly. Tlio passengers are in a sorry plight. The ship is overcrowded on account of the accident to tho Burgundia, and tho voyage beiug tempestuous therp was much suffering among them. Tho wrecking steamer which went to tho rescue was unable to go alongside on account of tho position of the steamer, nnd the passengers had to bo taken off in small boats. Mo Apology from Sliafer. New York, March 24—President Greene, of tho Now York Press club, addressed a note to Ira Shufer on the 23d inst inviting him to apologias to the reporters of New York for insulting them during his defense of exalderman Cleary. Mr. Sliafer, in reply, says that his romarks referred to the reporters engaged in making false and misleading reports of the trial. One reporter, who made a correct report, specially excepted at the timo of the remarks. Mr. Sliafer adds that ho 1ms not criticized the other reporters of New York, and, therefore, has no cause to apologize to them. New Haven. March 26.—Delegates from the Danbury, Springfield, Now Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport and Waterbury clubs met here yesterday. These clubs will constitute the Eastern league this year. The delegates adopted a constitution that is based on the old Southern New England league's constitution, bat changed so as to harmonize with the national government. No umpires were appointed, nor was a schedule arranged, that being left to {he schedule committee, which will meet in Danbury on Tuesday. The next meeting of the league will be held in Springfield on April 15. Tho season opens on April 30 and closes on Oct. 1, each club playing 180 games, sixty at home and sixty out of town. Sunday games are not forbidden, but no 8unday games will be played in Connecticut Several other witnesses testified in the same strain. John Kyun. identified H. T. Leavitt, one of the defendants, as being one of a gang of men who were present when the shot was tired. Oh! No; It's Jay Gould W&nts That. States Attorney Marsh conducts the examination for the state, pushing tlio caso skillfully and rapidly. G. W.

BEVAN Tho steamer is working eastward a little from where she first stranded, headiirg on the iwacli in the sumo direction, northeast One hundred passengers were landed last night. The word was rocoived by Capt. Rulfut from tho agents in New York not to hind nny passengers, as assistance had started for the wreck.

Gainesville, Go., March 26.—The town of Harmony Grove, twen'»7-flve miles from here, was aroused near hv the interchange of a doien pistol shots. This occurred in the warehouse of C. W. Hood & Co., whore one man was found mortally wounded, while by him stood Marshal Hanie, of Gainesville. Hanie suspected that this man and another with him wore burglars, and following them to Harmony ftrove alarmed the two as they were in the act of breaking into the safe. The pistol duel then began, and when one of the burglars was struck his companion ran. The wounded man savs his name is Howard, but refuses to give further information. Hood always kept a large amount of money on hand. An Unfortunate Burglar. Spring Goods The severity of weather for three days caused the captain to lose his reckoning. Oil account of tho great nunroor of passengers l lie Ml J.ply of provisions gave out, and the pi.iwujers from the stoamship Burgundia were obliged to pay for the ice or water they used. When the Scotia stranded she was sighted by Patrolman Payne, of station No. '""Phs tiMSU-i*£ro in tho ship at that time, but owing to the heavy sea and wind, which was blowing a gale, they were cut away at once to prevent the vessel from goitij; to pieces.

Chicago, March 28.—Carter Harrison has presented a letter to the Democratic city central committee in which he, for the seoond time, declines th» nomination for mayor. He says the confidential advisers and the three newspaper organs of President Cleveland in this city are urging his defeat, and this convinces him that the president does not desire him to- be elected. Ho therefore suggests the nomination of a ticket that will command the support of the advisers of the Federal administration. A committee was immediately appointed to fill the vacancy, Carter Harrison Withdraws. Stock Never so Varied and Thursday Will be Hill Ray. London, March 26.— Mr. Ballour, in the bouse of commons last evening, announced that on Thursday next bills would be introduced in the house of lords amending the laws applicable to leases and transfers of land in Ireland and other purposes. Complete. THE LIFE LINE. The surf would not admit the landing of the lifeboat, so a mortar was brought into use. The line reached the vessel all right, and was made fast. A block of signals was run gpt by the captain of the government house for information, but no one could understand them. Nothing could be learned from t he vessel until the sea would permit of a lifeboat and a crew reaching tho vessel Trotter Had a ltelapse. Experimental Stations. Washington, March 20.—Recorder Trotter. who lias been sick with pneumonia for some time, and who was reported improving, has suffered a relapse, and is in such a critical condition that Dr. Lincoln was called in by Dr. Reyburn for consultation. The physicians reported a slight improvement in Mr. Trotter's coudition during the day and night, but still regard him as critically ill. Washington, March 26.— The last congress passed a law providing for the establishment of experimental agricultural stations in the several states and territories, but First Comptroller Durham ruled that there was n' money appropriation available for this purpose. Senator Pugh has appeared before him and made argument on the matter with a view to getting a reconsideration and reversal of his decision, and hopes at least to have the matter referred to Attorney General Garland. If he succeeds in this he believes the technical objections will be sel aside and the money be forthcoming. PRICES NEVER SO MODERATELY REASCflABLE. Death Caused by Fright. CONDENSED NEWS. Philadelphia, Uarch SO.—An inquest was held in the case of Mrs. Theresa Weist, the saloonkeeper's wife, who died at her home from fright, caused, as she informed her husband, by the intrusion of William Adair into her bedchamber.
