London, June 21.—The Times has the following from Cettinje, June 20tb: Yesterday the Turks occupied the vil lage of Martinilzi, the Montenegrins re tiring to the heights above, without re sistanoe. To day the Turks attempted to move towards Damlograd, but were attacked by the uuitea forces of t'etrovics, Plamenatz, and the Kutohi. After a desperate strug gle of fi7e hours, the Turks were driven back on Spuz, abandoning their oamp and baggage to the Montenegrins. Petrovics telegraphs he lias captured a tenth of their horses, arms, colors, and aohieved the most glorious victory of the oampaign. Sultiruau Pasha remains in his position at the head of the valley of Selta, watch ed by Gen. Vukovica on one bank of the river and the Priuce of Montenegro on tbe other. The Daily Telegraph's special from Delhaba confirms the report that the Turks suffered a severe defeat in Satur day’s battle. AUSTRIAN INTERFERENCE WITH BERVIA LIKELY. London, June 21.—The Vienna dispatch of last night to the Standard sayc, not withstanding Servian promises, the mil itia to the number of fifteen battalioos have been called out and taken a position at Negotia. The Servian forces are now oaloulated to be nearly equal in number to the Turkish force at Widdin. Austrian intervention in Servia is publioly dis cussed here to-night as it is expected very shortly. BAD PLIOHT OF MONTENEGRO. The distress in Montenegro is likely to cause important changes in Kusaian strat egy. The Czar is greatly concerned as to the fate of Montenegro, whose only ohanoe appears to be in the Russian’s inarching across Sevia Navi Baaar,wheooe they might fall on Mehjmit Ali’a rear. SERVIAN STATUS. Berlin, June 21.— A dispatch to the Times says tbe Servian Government io ■ending to the uortheastern frontier all Sarvian oivil and military officers conver sant with tbe Russian tongue. The opin ion is gaining gronnd that the Russians arc no longer averse to oroasing the Dan ube between Turn Severin and Gisdova. It is thought possible that tbe Anstriar court m ght be induced to leave eastern Servia to Russian troops on condition that other provinces were left under Em peror Francis Joseph’s control. PRINCE MILAN AND THE CZAR. Vienna, June 21.—Tbe correspondent of the Times telegraphs the following : Prince Milan was very kind received by the Czar, who listened with great atten tion to his account of tha difficulties in whioh Servia is placed. The Czar assured Prinoe Milan that Servia might always reckon on his sympathies. No opportu nity seems to have been given Prince Milan to express himself directly, mnch less to ipoeive any instructions ; bnt ac cording to information reaching me, the opinion of the Czar and his government ■till is that Servia should not stir. As for any positive prohibition, there oan be no question of that. By so doiog Russia would take upon herself a responsibility •he has been always careful to avoid. •XRVIA MINISTER ASSURES TURKEY OF HER- VIA’s NEUTRALITY. Constantinople, June 21.—M. Crist ica, Servian Representative here, has renewed his declarations of Servia’a neutrality. He desires that Jhe Servian Government will allow Rusaiana to march through Ser- ▼ia. AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN DIET ON TREATY OF PARIS. Pevth, June 21.—In tbe Lower Honse of Diet to-day, Hor Simony announced tha following interpellation :—The Gov ernment considers the Treaty of Paris broken by the aotion of Russia and Rou- msnia, and docj it not consider that it is &ow time to appeal to England and France under trifit-parte treaty of 18/>«I to enforce the Treaty of Paris ? CANNONADING ON THE DANUBE. Uustchuk, Jane 21. — Cannonading continues here. A Russian battery has been dismantled at Slebasie. AUSTRIA** DENIALS. Vienna, June 21.—The statement that occupation of Turkish territory by Aus trian troops ia imminent is denied in offi cial circles. The mobilization of an army *>rpa is also denied. MONTENEGRIN INCAPACITY. London, June 21.—‘The Times corree- Poadoot with the Montenegrins, tele graphing from Cettinje June 19th, ad- mits that Suleiman Pasha occupied the strong position of Planinitza unopposed, owing to incapacity of Vukovios, the In surgent leader who after he had decided to no longer oppose the revictualling of Niosics remained inaotive until the Turks entered that place instead of providing for the defense of Planinitza. RUSSIAN INVITATION TO AUSTRIA. A Daily News' Vienna dispatoh oonfirms the report that Russia has invited Austria to make military preparations for the pur pose of preventing the Montenegrins from beiug utterly crushed. The Aus trian foreign office is not inclined to move in the matter. Tbe correspondent adds: Certain signs in ministerial quarters, however, point to the probability the movement is oonsidorod dose at hand when further inaction on the part of Austria might un favorably prejudice her future position in connection with the solution of the Oriental question. TURKISH SUCCESSES. Constantinople, June 21.—The Bos- siret newspaper to-day announoed thst Faik Pasha, Turkish commandant at Van, having been advised of the approach of one thousand Russians, dispatohed a body of cavalry and infantry against them. Russians were defeated and fled to Bayazid, about which place the Turks have invested. As Faik Pasha has cut them off from all assistance the capitula tion of Bayazid is imminent. A dispatch from tho Mostar correspon dent of the same journal, dated June 19, »&)». Sudlimau issna lias joined Ali Saib and their united armies are msroh- ing upon Cettinje. TUBKIHH DIVISION ROUTED IN ASIA. London, June 21.—We have only now detailed information respecting the first oopiliot in open field botween the Turks and Russians in Armenia. It will be re membered that Muhktar Pasha reinforced the troops at Delhaba some days ago, and ordered Commander Mehemet to advance throngh the passes from the Aras valley, aud Panin plain, and meet the Russians. Mehemet, therefore, desoeuded to the slope aud took up a position at Zeidikar or Saidaohen, whioh is ten or twelve miles southwest of Toprak Kale, and just iu front of tha passes above mentioned. His artillery strength is not stated, bnt it was not strong. His : nfantry was not above 8,000, and he had little or do oavalry, and that was bad. The Russian left under Lieut. Gen. Tergukassoff, had on the other hand about 10,000 infantry and plenty of oannon, besides effectual oaval ry force. The Turks brought on the fight by ad vances on the 15th instant. The whole day was spent in an artillery duel, but on the 16th the Russians began tbe execu tion of what was evidently a settled plan. Six bodies of Russian infantry advanced at six o’clock under cover of s terrible artillery fire. Notwithstanding the Tnrks returned a steady fire, tbe onemy con tinued to advance, and finally, by detach ing a strong body, turned the Turkish right flank, seized a commanding hill aud quickly threw up breastworks aud there established four field gans, which enabled them to rake almost the entire front of tbe Turkish line. From this moment the losses of the latter were serious. Their men fell rapidly, espe cially their artillery, whioh waa dislodged and the infantry exposed without support to a murderous fire for over twenty min utes. The Ottomans stood before this new attack, and at this crisis Mehomct fell. To increase the difficulties ammu nition fell short. At ten o’clock tbe heights which the Turks held at the opening of the battle was no longer tenable, and by midnight tbe last Turk was driven off. A cavalry charge followed converting a defeat into a rout. What followod is not yet dear. One account says the Russians advanced into the plain of Passin, two uiilea from Mnhktar’a position, whioh is very pre carious. This is apparently confirmed by a Russian official dispatch, which aays General Tergukassoff lias left Zeidikan and is marching upon Kuprikoi. On tbe other band Mubktar Pasha’s main por tion was at last accounts near Zenvan, and it is certain that the Aras whioh is not fordable at this season flows betweeu him and the troop* beaten on Saturday, which wooid protect him from the Rus sian left wing. Another report aays, however,that some of the army around Kars has advanced to ward Erzeroum, which may explain Mnhktar Pasha’s threatened position. Tbe latest Turkish advices, dated June 17th, say the Turkish left wing is retreat ing on Erzeroum, followed by the Rus sian General. A Pera dispatch to the Globe says Baya zid has been re-taken by the Turks. ROUMANIAN ARMY.

Tbe royalists will remain with the Cabinet, but tbe Bo- nspsrtista immediately after dissolution, it is Raid, will advooate the rule of Presi dent MacMahon till 1880, bnt will demand ppeal to the people after the expira tion of his term of office. BKADLAVUHH TRIAL. HOOK IMMORAL, DUT MOTIVES NOT CORRUPT. London, June 21.—In the trial of Charles Bradlaugh and Mias Annie Besant for publishing a pamphlet alleged to be immoral, which was commenced before Lord Chief Justice Cookburn and a spe cial jury on Monday last, Bradlaugh to day finished his defence. The Lord Chief Justice, in his summing up, said a more injudicious and ill-advised prosecution never brought into a Court of Justice, bnt if the jury was of opinion that the book waa oaloulated to injure the public morals, then, however pure and good it was, the intention ot the defendants in publishing the work, thur duty was to flod them guilty. The jury after being out an boar and a half returned tbe following verdict: We aro of the opinion that the book is calculated to deprave public morals, but entirely exonerate the defendants from a oorrupt motive in publishing it.’ Lord Chief Jnstico Cookburn said: I direct yon upon that, to find a verdict against the defendants.

Dr. Mebenek'a Pulmonic M/rup, Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills.— These medicines have undoubtedly per formed more cures of Consumption than any other remedy known to the American pu><lio. They are compounded of vege table ingredients, and contain nothing which cau be injurious to the human con stitution. Other remedies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably contain opium, wbiob is a somewhat dangerous drug iu all cases, and if taken freely by consumptive patients, it moat do great injury; for its tendeucy is to confine the morbid matter io the system, whioh, of course, must make a core impossible. Scbeuck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain a particle of opium; it ia composed of powerful bnt harmless herbs, which act on tbe lungs, liver, stomach, and blood, and than correct all morbid aecretiona, and expel ali the dis eased matter from the body.

A MIMTEK'M DIHLKAM: HOW IT WAS AVENGED BY A KENTUCKY BROTHER. Cincinnati Enquirer ol Tuesday ] The officers of an up river steamer, which arrived yesterday, bring tho partic ulars of a serious shooting affair, whioh oocurred on Sunday, near Pairview, Bracken oouuty, Ky. Tho particulars, as far as the reporter could glean them, are as follows: Bradford is on the Ohio river, about twenty-five miles below ltipky, Ohio. A young girl named Boyd, from tbe latter plaoe, has been in tbe habit of paying frequent visits to friends iu Brad ford. Here she became intimate with a physician named Lytle, a resident of that place. The girl retnrnnd to her honse reoently aud set her family crazy by stating that she bad been seduced aud ruined by Dr. Lytle. On Sunday last her mother and brother pro ceeded to Bradford for the purpose of in vestigating the affair and cowhiding tho Dootor. To save the girl from shame by marriage, abont two o'clock in the after- noou young Boyd, the girl’s brother, met Dr. Lytle on the street, and stopped him, saying, “Doctor, you must marry tbo girl or die." To this choice of what the Doctor considered two evils be replied, “I would sooner die that marry the girl," and be tamed on his heel to walk awsy. The brother polled out his revolver, and said as he began firing, “You will die now then.” The first shot entered the body near the right shoulder, peuotratod the lungs and lodged in the breast hone, ma king an ugly and it is thought a fatal wound. Before young Boyd could fire the aeoond shot Lytle turned and faced him and started towards him, Boyd firing and the ballet entering the left arm at the wrist and ranging to ward the elbow. Lytle clinched Boyd, aud both fell to the ground with the Doc tor on top. The blood gushed from the wounded man's mouth and covered Boyd with blood. At this stage of the fray RACE PROSCRIPTION. Juilfe Hllioa’a Crusude A(aluit tbe Jew*. A PROMINENT JEWISH DANKER DRIVEN FROM THK UNION HOTEL AT SARATOGA—HIS SOOHUHING LETTER TO STEWARTS SUC CESSOR. New iobk, June 19.—The exclusion of Joseph Seligmau, tbe bauker, from the Grand Union Hotel, Saratoga, uuder op eration of a rule established by Judge Hiltou, the successor of A. T. Stewart, excluding all Jews from the hotel, oeoa* .dons much exoitemeut iu Jewish circles, and awakens much iuterest in all other olasKes. Mr. Lauterbach, oouusel for the Seligiuau house, says letters had poured in this morning from all sources, from oo-religiouihts and other-, who included some of the most prominent men of the community, condemning the pol icy adopted by Judge Hilton. Lau terbach says he believed Judge Hil- wtts amenable, civilly and crimi nally. under the oivil rights sot for refua- a respectable man admission to a publio hotel. Lautorhach also says it was true Mr. Holigman was a member, and also President of the Ethical Culture Society, bnt there was nothing in the teachings or tenets of that Society, whioh litated against Seligmau's beiug, as be .s and remained, a Jew iu race and re ligion. Joseph Seligmau's brother was a Director of the Fifth Avenue Temple Emanuel, and his brother, Jesse, was President of the Hebrew Orphan Asylum, largest Hebrew eleemosynary institu tion in the country. They were all prom inently oonueoted with every Hebrew and other benovolent projects. Judge Hilton sent an oral message to-day to the Western Associated Press, statiug that u vow nothing to aUU to tns statement already published. A LETTER FROM BKLIGMAN. r. Seligaian, while freshly stung by treatment, wrote a letter to Judge Hilton, and seut a copy to his brother, Jesse, with instructions to publish it at i. The latter delayed publication, telegraphed to his brother, who insisted ihat it should be published. Tho follow- ing i opy : Clarendon Hotel, Saratoga—To Judge Henry Hilton, oare ot A. T. Stewart .t Co., New York—Dear Judge : My family have for many years patronized the Union Hotel at Saratoga, but were informed yes terday by your managers that orders from headquarters aro to exclude all Jewish families from the list of guosts this sea son, alleging as a reason there existed prejudice among Americans agaiust peo ple of that persuasion, which had injured the Union to that extent, last season, that the headquarters proposed to “ roast ’ them, viz : Tell them all without excep tion that all the rooms were occupied ex cept the garret chambers. Now, permit me, dear Judge, in yonr own interest and in the interest of Mr. Stewart's valuable estate, the lion's share of whioh you seem to have Acquired, to say you are adding to the many serious mistakes which you have msde since you inherited that estate by refusing admittance to the Union Hotel to a large class of people, irrespec tive of their respectability, wealth or proper bearing, merely to pander to vul gar prejudice under the mistaken notion that by so doing yon will (ill tbe house with othor nationalities. You will find yourself uiistAKen. You aro no judge of Amorioan character. The civilized world is hoginning to he more tolerant in mat ters of faith or creed or birth than you believe, or would have them. They do spise intolerance, low ounniug aud vul garity, and will not patronize those who seek to mako money by pandering to the prejudices of the vulgar. I regrot you are running the Union at a loss, I regret you aro making no headway iu your wholesale departments in New York and in Cbioago, aud that even the Ninth street retail store, so popular and prosperous under the man agement of tho late Mr. Stewart, has lost its best patrons. A little reflection must show to yon that tho serious falling off in your business is not due to the patronage of any ono nationality, bnt to the want of patronage of all, and you, dear Judge, are not big enough to koeg u hotel, nor broad enough in yonr business views to run a dry goods store. You havo tried oornpe- tion with experienced and popular houses iu the manufacture of carpets, of wooleus, of silks, and of scores of articles of minor importance, and you have succeeded in none, and you never will, and 1 would ro sportfully volunteer an advice for whioh I charge you nothing, although, you once charged mo $10,000 for an advice whioh was worth nothing—that it you want to save the rest of a once valuable estRto of Mr. Stewart, that yon advertiso a large auction and sell yonr merchandise and yonr hotels to tbe highest bidder, and, no matter at what sacrifice you ge' rid of them. You will come off hotter thau by holding on to things whioh you cannot intelligently manage. Trusting that yon will avail yourself of this friendly an disinterested advice, I remain, dear Judg yours very truly, Johu h Helioman.

EXECUTION OF AN OHIO MURDERER—THE CONDEMNED MAM 1MTOX1UATBD—A DRUNK EN HARANGUE—A SHAME TO MANKIND AND A DISGRACE TO CIVILIZATION. A man named Ham Adams was execut ed iu Dayton, Ohio, last Friday for mur- dor. When he reached tho scaffold it waa apparent that the wretohed man was hope lessly drunk. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer tells the shocking atory aa follows: The doomed man came forward and stood on the trap. His arms were bound behind him. Around his neok hung a brass crucifix suspended by a piece of black tape. His face was pale; his eyes rolled wildly; bia bearing was horrible, and iu an instantaneous flash tho fearful suspicion went to every mind that Adams drunk! He was! Sheriff Beebe stood behind him, with the death warrant bis hand. Deputy Sheriff Freeman stood at his left, acting as master of ceremonies at this dance of death. Father Murphy stood by the post on the left. Father Nichols by tbe post on tbe right. Adams held in his liandx a biown siik handkerchief. After the agonizing pause, he began the deliv ery of one of the most pointless, maudlin peeches that ever foil from the lips of man. It was painfully evident that he beastly drunk. He had eaten noth ing for two days. He had left his last diuucr uutouobed in his cell. Whiskey had beeu given him in abuudanoe on an empty stomach. The fumes had flashed to his brain, and he was a hapless idiot. Tho first two sentences came calmly and even eloquently from his lips. Thta luu* cy set in! Suoh a speech! God pity poor, weak humanity! Angels must have looked down and agouized over the scene! Strong men oried; some found more relief iu oaths; others turned pale. Great beads of sweat stood on brows that looked like marble. All the imps in hell must have lieid their sides with laughter al this glorious exposition of Christian civiliza tion!" “Gentlemen, I never knew what Chris tianity was to uiau until within the last few weeks. I wish I had known mors about it. I'm going to dio a Catholic. I'm going to die, uud I want to tell you tho truth: I didn’t kill Mulharen; Jennie Smith killed him. She got $2.60. I took $1.80. 1 plead guilty to piok-pooketiug. That's all 1 done. For that they could send me up for six months. Now I have to die. I didn't do it. I want to toll you from beginning to end. Now, from be ginning to end—from beginning to and. I took a dollar aud sixty cents; no, a dollar and eighty cents. I’m guilty; no, I mean I’m innocent! I’m inuocent 1 I’m inno oeut! Jennie Smith killed him with a dagger she had a week bofore to kill another lady—I mean woman. Trouble was, she was mad at me because I went with Lou Huffman and wouldn’t go with her. [Sheriff gets nervous, Deputy whispers to Addins to stop, j No, I must go on ! No, no ! I must say it; I must say it ! | Sheriff : “Go on, Harry;" Father Murphy motioned to him to finish.] No, I must have my say out. | It whs evident that he was trying to talk against time. | There i« only two who told the truth in my behalf ou tbe trial— Mrs. Huffman aud Officer Berringer. The rest swore false. Bill Hayes ought to suffer for this. Jennie Smith killed him ; I took the money out of his pock et. walking along the sidewalk. I waut to toll you all, from beginuing to end. I promiaed to keep Kill. They told me not to tell. I have until now. I kept my word. But from beginning to end. [More interruption. ] No, I must say it ; yes, I must ! You see, I was respited. Mr. Young—Governor Young—got letters from Bickham, of the Journal. Bickham told him I must die : that I v/as the fear fulest, terri* lest murderer ever was. (Sensation. People whispering, *<)h, for God’s sake, stop him !’J I must say it ont, from beginuing to end. “I would havo been pardoned if it had not been for Mr. Bickham writing false letters, but I forgive him. Mr. Bickham said that Father Carey said by Murphy banging it might save Adams’ neck, but Father t!arey says Adams’ case is much worse than Murphy’s, and he thought Jim Graham ought to be cleared and Adams ought to bo huug ; but Father Carey did not say so. It was Mr. W. I). Bickham’a own say so, aud not Father Carey’s. I want to thank everybody for their kind ness. I thank Sheriff Beebe and all who have been so kind to me. There is one who did do right by me about this jail, but his wife was kind to me. That's all.' And a “Thank God!" went up from every heart. The Sheriff stepped forward, and in a clear voice read the legacy of the State to Adams -death. Wheu he read the words “hang by tbe neck, - ' Adams started and staggered forward. The Deputy Sheriff xteadied him and squared him upon the trap. Tears came to his eyes. lie raised his bound hands and hid his face in the handkerohief. As the Sheriff proceeded he clasped his bands convulsively, and in terlaced his fingers with a grip of despair that almost buried the nails in the flesh. Tho reading of the death warrant fin ished, Father Nichols began reading the prayer for the dead. The Deputy stooped and tied the legs at the knee; the noose was slipped from the beam and dangled at his back; the black cap was fitted to the head, Adams assisting to adjust it. “./en me Smith did it," he muttered it--all was ready, the officers moved back, and the trap was ready, but Father Nichols was on it. “Back! back! "the Sheriff motioned. The Priest whispered a last word. “I will. Father," oame in a faint response. The moving bolt groaned—bang! slap! thud! A startle and ahudder ran through the crowd. The deed was done. The *uau never moved.
