New York, September, G.—The Al-
dermanio Committee, on investigation of
the King FraudB met to-day. Wm. M.
Tweed was present with oounsel and gave
his story of the various offices he held
under the City. He testified to the
King that was formed in the board of
Supervisors for passing Excessive bills
in 18G0. The King consisted of Koaoh
Briggs and himself. In 18G3 Henry
Smith was added to it; In 18G5 Jno. Fox

Notional Hoard or Steam Naviga
tion.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Pittsburg, Sept. G.—In the conven<
lion of tho National Board of Steam Nav
igation, the Recording Secretary submit
ted his report for 187G, whioh was ac
cepted.
Gapt. Sherlock, from the Executive
Committee, in his report submitted,
states no progross has been wade toward
obtaining the legislation required for the
relief of the steam navigation interests of
the United States, and the committee
earnestly recommend a vigorous effort to
be made at the coming session of Con-*
gross, with all the influence of those
composing the National Board to secure
amendments to the steamboat law, whioh
has been sought for for the past six
years.
Au amendment was offered to Mr.
Gould’s resolutions of yesterday, whioh ter
quires matter of local interest, though
general in character, when brought
before the Board to be referred to a spec
ial committee of five members, selected
by course of their familiarity, with all
faots and conditions surrounding the mat~
ter. The amendment also provides for a
general committee of five to consider the
report of the special committee.
The amendment was adopted.
Gapt. Brown submitted a report of the
Committee on the propriety of moving
rocks and widening the channel at Louis
ville, Ky. The committee consider it
practicable, and in every way advantage
ous to the marine interests of the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers and thetr tributa
ries by giving an aggregate depth of
water, and offering a more speedy and
safe transit through tbe dangerous portion
of the river between northern and south
ern points. The cost of the improve
ment, the committee estimated, would not
exceed fifty thousand dollars.
Gapt. Varble, of Lonisville, stated the
committee had a draft prepared showing
the improvement suggested to tho falls.
He referred to the fact that pilots had,
at their own expense, ordered the chancel
to 48 feet. It is proposed to remove the
side ledges at the falls, thus widening
the channel 130 feet, giving a greater
depth also of two feet. He called atten*
tioa to the fact that frequently on a run,
boats are detained at the falls 48 to GO
hours, at great expense. This improve^
mont made, boats can pass over the falls
without tho slightest delay.
Gapt. U. H. Woolfolk offered a resolu
tion for the appointment of a committee
of five to take into consideration the
question of the improvement of the Mis
sissippi river from the mouth of the Mis*
qouri river to New Orleans. The resolu
tion was adopted aud the chairman ap
pointed the committee.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That a committee of five be
appointed to consider the practicability
and probable expense of removing the
bars in the Ohio river, which interfere
with the navigation, and report to the
Board at tho next annual meeting.
The following resolution was adopted:
It is the judgment of the National
Board of Steam Navigation that the pres
ent charges for licences to officers of
steam vessols are unfair and onerous, aud
that the exeoutive committee be instructed
to use their best efforts for their reduc
tion.
i Recess.
MEHEMET ALI GAINS A STRATEGICAL POINT.
London, Sept. G.—The Times' Vienna
dispatch says the Russians abandoned the
upper Lorn line and have withdrawn their
right wing on that side, whioh was at
Peepskoi to a line where they can be in
contact with the forces guarding the road
from Osman Pasha’s rear. Mehemet Ali
has thus gained an undoubted strategical
success by his victory at Kaisau. All de -
pends on how he will use it.
TURKISH ADVANTAGES.
The Daily Hews' correspondent tele
graphing from Gagova, Sept. 1, shows the
Turks, as the result of the viotory at Gar-
azan, occupied the largo mountain form*
ing the key of the Rasgrad position and
commanding almost equally the Lorn and
the Kara, the Lorn and Russian positions
at Obaka and Gogava. The oorrespon
dent says the acting is solely on the de
fensive. The Gzarowitz will have little
difficulty in keeping his present line in
tact with the possible exooption of loss of
the Gogava position, Ou tho other baud
the Turks are much too strong to lie in
active in tho face of an inferior Russian
force and the chauoeB are groat that the
the Valley of Kara Low will soon be the
Beat of a decisive battle of large propor
tions.
RUSSIANS RETREAT.
A subsequent telegram shows the Rus
sians evacuated Gogavo and retired to
Palomanka.
The Times' Bucharest correspondent
says the TurkB and Egyptians pursued
them thither.
AUTUMNAL RAINS.
The Times' Bucharest dispatoli, Sep
tember nth, says the autumnal rains have
begun. It has been raining here contin
ually since last night.
TIMES URGES INTERVENTION.
The Times' leader urges very strongly
that England should offor mediation with
tho concurrence of other nentral powers,
Offers of mediation could be based ou
the recommendations by the Constant!
nople conference.
NO PEACE UNTIL TURKEY IS CRUSHED.
In tbis connection the Daily News
Bucharest correspondent says peace is
impossible until the Turks are completely
crushed. Tho war has become a dynastio
one for the Romanoffs, as muoh as the
Franoo-Prussiau war was for the Napole<
one. If tho Czar entered Moscow after
concluding an unsatisfactory peace, it
would have to bo at the point of the bay
onet. This should be as well kuown
abroad sb it is iu Russia.
WHICH POSITION IS BEST ?
London, September G.—The Russian
successes at Lovatz plaoes Osman Pasha
in an awkward position of having a hos<
tile force on both flanks. Either a defeat
at Plevna or attempted withdrawal might
result in tbe destruction of his army un
less tho Russians are compelled to weaken
their forces on that side in order to meet
Mehemet’s advance from Rasgrad. This
seems to place the Czarowitz army in
position very similar to Osman Pasha’s,
if the Turkish accounts may be trusted,
and they seem to be confirmed in these
particulars by the Russian admissions,
Tbe Turkish force has crossed the Lorn
aud reached tbe neighborhood of Abe*
teni, while another force has orossed the
Kara Lorn to Poalarka. These oorps are
understood to be operating against Biela,
but they jeapordize the whole Russian
campaign east of Yautra, as well as com
munications with Pornova.
BOMBARDMENT AT RUSTOHUK.
Bucharest, Sept. 6.—An important en
gagement was fought near Rustchuk yes*
terday morning. Soon afterwards the
Russians commenced the bombardment
of that city from Stobashia and was re
plied to by the Turks. The oannonade
lasted all yesterday aud continues to-day.
The Turks from Widden attempted, last
night, to reach Chupercheni near Kalafat
but was drived back by a Roumanian bat
tery, which was quickly brought up. The
garrison of Widdon has been raised to the
strength of 8,000 men in consequence of
the threatening attitude iu Servia.
MONTENEGRIN MISTAKE —700 KILLED.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
London, Sept. G.—A special edition of
the Standard has a dispatch from Gon-
stantinople which says the Turkish com-
ranudor in Herzegovina reports a band of
2,000 Montenegrins surrounded a village
near Presika intending to get oattle and
corn during the night. A fresh band of
Montenegrins arrived when the first
band was supposed to be Turks. A fierce
combat ensued and 700 were killed and a
great number wounded. The mistake
was not discovered until morning.

New York, Sept. G.—A delegation of
ten striking miners for tbe collieries of

Railroad, situated at Hyde Park, Scran
ton, Pa., had an interview with President
Sloan, of the company, this morning. The
delegation stated their grievances, and
asked an increase of wages of 25 per cent,
Sloan replied that he would not negotiate
with any of his men who were on a strike.
When work was resumed ho would be
prepared to treat with tho men, and when
the price of coal would warrant it, they
would make au increase of wages, or if
the men so desired, would pay them upon
the principal of a sliding scale. Mr.
Sloan reduced his remarks to writing, and
gave the delegation a copy. Tho men
will return to Scranton this evening, and
report to a largo mass meeting of strik
ers.

Special Dispatch to tho Courier-Journal.]
New Castle, via Eminence, Soptember
4.—Tbis community was startled this
moruing by the aunounoement that about
one o’clock last night a body of men,
armed aud masked took possession of this
town, and demanded tho bodies of the
four men confied in jail here, aooused of
the numerous murders, etc., that have
been ho extensively written about. Their
unmos were Robert Goodrich, James
Goodrich, Sam Goodrich and Jim Sim
mons. The lynchers are said to have
come from four difforeut counties,and are
unknown. The Sheriff was powerless to
resist. The four men were taken to a
bridge in the outskirts of the town, and
two of tho men hung on each side. The
bodies have been cut down and an inquest
held.
I will send full particulars by mail.
Special Correspondence of the Courier-Jour
nal.]
Eminence, Ky., Sept. 4.—At oue
o'clock last night (or rather this morning)
our county seat, New Castle, was visited
by a company of disguised men, nurnber-
eriug from 150 to 240,as nearly as I oould
learn, who went immediately to the house
of tho Jailer, Mr. Jones, who lives aoross
tho stroet from the jail, and, after knock
ing at the door and gaining admission,
commanded him to go with them to the
jail nud let them into it. Mr. Jones is a
feeble old man, but a very clever aud
honorable one, who finding bin house
filled with armed men aud himself help
less, begged them uot to disgrace him by
forcing him to do an act wholly unjustifi
able and against the law, and contrary to
his duty aud wishos; but they told him
quietly that
it was no use to talk;
they meaut business, aud oould not be
trifled with; they did not mean to harm
him, but he must do au they desired. So,
with guus cocked and ready, they forced
the old man to go with them and nnlook
the jail doors, when they at onoe entered
and took possession of the jail. The first
man they met after the inner cell doors
wore unlocked was H. M. Roberts, who
lmtfcbeeu arrested in Louisville and sent
up and committed to jail on yesterday
evening, oharged with a different offense.
This man was Bleeping in one of the cells,
aud was quickly awakened and tied. He
told them who he was, and they at onoe
left him and proceeded to bind securely
James Simmons, Robert, Samuel and
Joseph Goodrich, three brothers, the first
a son-in-law to Simmons. They had sent
a part of their company to tho residence
of Mr. O’Brien, a grocery merchant, and
requested him to get up nud go with them
to his busiuess house, and let them
have what they wanted out of his stock,
WHIOH HE FOUND TO BE ROPE.
Obtaining this they repaired to tho jail,
and plaoing a rope around tbe neck of
each of tho above named four men, led
them out of the jail, aud wero proceed
ing with thorn through tho street when
Sheriff Ricketts aud his three deputies
met them and commanded them to give up
the prisoners and to disperse. The mob,
without any noise or confusion, drew
down upon them their guns, and thooliok
of the looks could be hoard ns the loader
COMMANDED TUE OFFICERS OF TUE LAW TO
GET OUT OF TUE WAY
or they would be immediately shot down;
telling tho Sheriff also that they meant
business, and would not be disturbed or
delayed in their proceedings by man or
rnortul. The officers, finding themselves
powerless to contend agaiust such num
bers, were obliged to get out of the way
or lose their lives. The mob then pro
ceeded quietly through tho streets to the
western edge of tho town, where a stone
bridge about fourteen feet higb, with a
single arch, spans a small streum. On top
of the bridge on either side are wooden
banisters or railingH for the publio safety.
To this woodwork they tied the ropes,
two upon either side, and from the top of
tho bridge dropped the unfortunate men
into eternity. The rope to which Robert
Goodrich was attached broke, giving him
a terrible fall, cutting bis head and bruin
ing his face considerably, but be was
QUICKLY GATHERED UP AND SUSPENDED TUE
SECOND TIME,
leaving tho rocks in the bed of tho stream
and tho bridge wall disfigured with his
blood. James Simmons, tho oldest and
the supposed leader of the gang, a very
muscular am! powerful man, doubtless
struggled desperatoly, as a strong water-
gate under the arch of the bridge was
broken down iu his efforts to secure re
lief.
After all was over, the perpetrators of
this dark deed dispersed as quickly and
as quietly as they had entered tho place.
They did not return through the town,
and as almost the entire populace were
asleep, it is only surmised that they left
iu different directions. Your correspond
out learned from the prisoners in the jail
(Mr. Roberts, mentioned above, and two
negro men), neither of whom wore re
leased, as well as from the Jailor, that
tho men were disguised, and that
under their examining trial, during
whioh great exoitement prevailed, caused
by the erroneous belief that they
would be released by the court. During
this excitement the jail had beeu guard
ed, and every precaution tAken to protect
the prisoners. But the magistrates of
the law had been firm in the discharge of
their duty, and they all had been held
over without bail, and were lodged in a
jail too secure to admit of doubt an , to
their ability to break out. Under these
circumstances the exoitomeut had subside
ed, and it was the opinion of the officers
of the law that no one desired or would
attempt to arrest the regular proceedings
in the court to punish these men. This
mob, therefore, came

also that the four men takeu out had but
little to say. Samuel and Joseph Good-
rich declared their innooeuco, and Samuel
asked permission to send his money to
his mother, whioh being granted, he left
$13.25 for that purpose. Itobt. Goodrich
asked time to pray, but was told that he
did not give his victims time to pray.
James Simmons said nothing as far as I
could learn.
Tho mob came at 1 o'clock and at 2.j
o’clock all was over and they wore gone.
This morning tho fonces around tho town
were found thrown down, showing that
tho town had been Htirroundod.
ONE OF TIIE SADDEST CIRCUMSTANCES
connected with this dark picture is the
fact that Robert Goodrich had a wife and
six children and Jot.oph Goodrich a wife
and seven cbildreu. Samuel Goodrich
was a Hingle man. James Simmons had a
wife aud family of grown-up children,
but was not living with his wife when this
happened.
It may bo said in extenuation of this
horrid crime—that is, so far as the peoplo
of New Castle aro concerned—-that tho
men thus summarily disposed of have
been for some weeks incarcerated and

Purgative. Bailey’s Saline Aperient is
warranted equal to tho best iu quautity
aud quality. It is cheaper and better
than nauseating pills, or troublesome
Soidlitz Powders. It oleausos aud tones
the stomach and bowels, refreshes the
weak and feeble, regulates tho ilow of
bile, operates favorably upon tho kidneys,
is cooling iu fevers and delights the dys-
poetic. After taking one dose of this
mild and delightful Aperient no lady will
do without it. aug22 d»fcw2w
