Ue tried unsuccessfully to drive them oil. Folieemen and citizens from Lancaster went there, when the tramps opened lire with pistolB. The polioe advanced ou them, and the tramps retreated, leaving five wounded. The farmer, named Powers, was fatally hurt. His father was alone. The Pennsylvania Uailroad tramps boardod a freight train and threatened to take possession. Deteotives from Column bia, Fa., went to secure and capture them. The outlaws subseqently broke jail. Milton Gramon, a prominent citi zen of Duncanon, was robbed and killed by two tramps, as he (eft the train at Marysville, reoently. The tramps wrecked a freight train recently between Galves" ton and Frazier’s, and attempted to plun der a car. During the fight with the train hands, one of the latter, Wm. Converse, was killed. The authorities at Westchester sent as sistance, and two outlaws were captured. The deteotives discovered that notorious oily criminals are traveling disguised as tramps.

VOTE REDUCED FROM LAST TEAR. nor’s majority 50 against 59G last year. Biddeford gives Williams 116 majority, he oarrying five of the seven wards in the oity. The county tioket is ahead of Wil liams. Returns of 45 towns give Connor Republican, 13,760; Williams Democrat 11,309; Munson Greenback, 1,247. Oon« nor’s majority 1,121 against 3,739 last year. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Bangor, Me., September 10.—Elections very quiet and vote light. The Demo crats were so much divided that the Re publicans deemed it unnecessary to make any effort. Total vote 1,515, of which Connor received 1,014, Williams 172, Munson 243, Talbot 86. Connor's major ity over Williams, 843 ; over all, 513. All Republican Representatives were elected. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Farmington, Sept. 10.—Connor proba bly carried Franklin county by a small majority, and four Republican repre sentatives were elected. Bath, Sept. 10.—In Sagadahoo Repub lican county officers were elected, as also the entire delegation to the Legislature. Portland, Sept. 10.—The Democrats oarry Lincoln county by about 175 ma» jority, electing every officer and probably two out of six representatives. The Re publicans eleot three and the Independ ents one. Returns from eighteen towns in York connty, including Biddeford and Saoo, show a Democratic gain over last fall of 395; the remaining eight towns will not very materially ohango the resalt. The Republican oounty ticket is probably elected by from 200 to 300 majority, though Cromwell, Democrat, for Senator, may bo eleetted by a small majority. The Democrats gain three Represents* tives in the county and psoibly four. The Republicans eleot their entire oounty ticket in Hancook couny by majorities ranging from 800 to 1,200, and will probably eleot.eight Representatives, and Rossiegn county, except three towns, gives Connor 2,446, Williams 1,599, Munson 953. Republicans elect all Sen ators and county ticket by about 900 plurality, and eight Republicans to one Greenbacker. All Republican candidates for Repre sentatives are elected in Lewiston and Auburn. This county is the headquarters of tho Greenback party, which has polled a large vote, a majority of which comes from the Democrats. In Somerset county but few towns have been heard from. The probability is that the Republican ticket is eleoted by a fair majority. There were four regular and mixed tickets. The entire Republican tioket in Aroo stook oounty is elected by from 300 to 400 majority, except Register of Deeds for the Southern District. Seventy-five towns in the State give Connor 19,440, Williams 15,444, Munson 1,974. Connor’s majority over Williams, Munson and scattering 1,908 against 5,- 923 last year. The Democrats have carried the whole of Knox oounty tickot, but os eight towns have not yet been board from, it is impos sible to estimate the majority accurately at this hour, but it will probably not be far from 450. In Washington county the Republicans eleoted both Senators and a fall county ticket by from 300 to 400 majority; also six out of ten Republicans to tho Legists* tnre.

ELECTION—VERY DULL AND UNINTERESTING SPECULATIONS. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Portland, Me., September 9.—The State election occurs to-morrow. Very little work has been done and no can vasses made. The total vote will proba bly not exceed 110,000 and the greenback ticket will do better than previously, per haps reaching 2,000 or 3,000. With this inoroased opposition, being an off year, the Republicans cannot expect to do much better than two years ago, when their ma jority ran down to less than 4,000. The disagreements over the State Oonvention seem to amount to little, and the chance of Democrats over their candidates ap pears somewhat more serious, particularly in the Penobscot region. The Greenback- ers are strongest in Androscoggin and Somerset counties, and may offset the oounty tickets. Last year the Democrats had but two counties, Knox and Lincoln, but in 1875 they had five. Cumberland and York counties are very close. Aros -took is likely to go Democratic. Wash ington oounty is close, bat Talbot, last year’s Democratic nominee, who was thrown over at this year’s Convention re sides there. The Republican legislative majority will be rednoed from last but probably not so low as two years ago. THE RETURNS. Portland, Me., Sept. 10.—At 1 o’clock the city stood Conner, (Rep.) for Govern or 1,026; Williams, (Dem.) 993; Munson, (Greenback) 29; Marcellas Emory 1. At 2 o’clock Portland stood Conner, (Rep.) 1,496; Williams, (Dem.) 1,410; MunBon 34. The Republican representa tive ticket was 86 ahead. Last year Port land gave the Republicans 3,492, Demo-' crats 2,895. This small vote at this honr indicates a very reduced vote so that probably the State aggregate vote may fall as low as 90,000. RETURNS CF THE ELECTION. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Portland, Sept. 10.—The city vote, ex cepting a trifling number not received from the Island is as follows: Connor 2,062, Williams 1,972, Mnnson 400. Con- CALIFORNIA ELECTION. RESULT IN SAN FRANCISCO. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] San Francisco, September 9.—Tho city count lacks a few hundred of completion, and will not be finished before to-mor^ row evening, but tho present position of the candidates is not likely to be changed* The Democrats elect the Mayor, Record er, Public Administrator, Superintendent of Schools and both the Fire Commis sioners. The Tax Papers elect the Tax Collector, Treasurer, County Clerk, Dis trict Attorney, Attorney and Counsellor, Chief of Police, Superintendent of Streets, re-elected their Auditor and Surveyor. The contest for Sheriff is still doubtful. Of the Supervisors the Democrats elect seven, Tax Payers eleot four, with one ward doubtful. LATER—DEMOCRATS ELECT THE SHERIFF. The count in the city is completed with the exception of about one hundred votes, which will not change the result. Minan, Democrat, is eleoted Sheriff. Otherwise the result is as indicated last night. There are some doubts still as to one or two members of the Legislature iu interior counties, the voting being close and full returns aro not received. SOUTH CAROLINA. WHAT EX-TREASURER PARKER HAS TO SAY New York, Sept. 9.—The World pub lished a voluminous interview with ex- Troasurer Parker, of South Carolina, de tailing the alleged plundering of that State by the officials, giving the particu lars of the issuance of millions in illegal bonds, bribery of tho Legislature and the reign of corruption.

A few shots were exchanged daring the night. The artillery engagement was renewed on Saturday morning, with great vigor and continued all day. In the evening our left wiDg succeeded in oc cupying the heights to the south of the town, with tho loss of 500 men. A Router dispatch says a general attack on Plevna will be made to-day. It is said that 20,000 Turks who were march ing to Osman Pasha’s assistance have been intercepted below Nirski. The Russians have erected a new monster gun at Slobo- sia, which has silenced three Turkish bat teries before Rustohuk. London, Sept. 10.—The Russian army threatening Plevna is about 100,000 strong, with 250 guns. Up to Friday night, only artillery had been used and the correspondent reports Plevna as far from being taken as ever. PLEVNA REPORTED CAPTURED. The Manchester Examiner publishes tho following dispatch announcing the capture of Plevua by tho Russians, Sept. 9th. This morning an attack on all sides of Plevna was commenced and was con tinued throughout* tho day. By 6 o'clock tho evening the town of Plevna was in tho hands of the Russians and tho Turks were iu full retreat iu grent disorder. Losses are enormous. The details are not received. 60,000 TURKS CUT OFF. The Daily News has the following dis patch from Vienna.

London, September 10.—A Reuter’s from Vienna says a dispatch received there from Cottinje assorts Nicsics has ca pitulated. RUSSIANS HURRYING REINFORCEMENTS. London, September 10—A special from Vienna to the Times says tho Russians who seem to have thought little of any danger which might threaten them from Rustchuk and Rasgrad are, it appears, be ginning to take a different view. Wo have it from Bucharest all reinforcements passing through there are directed down in haste towards Guirgevo to Cossova,and the bridge at Cyrgos. The first detach ment of the Guards Corps and Divisions of Witna Army Corps have taken that di rection. Tho Times' Ostorog spocial says the fu ture movements of the Montenegrin army are under no definite plan of campaign, none having been decidod upon. ALBANIANS. According to tho last news the Alhani an tribos wailed for tho capture of Nic sics to rise. It is probable the move ments in that direction may influence the plan of campaign. The 7'imes Vienna special says: DISCREDITED. The Teport in Belgrade that Germany iB urging Servia to participate in war is discredited here. RUSSIANS AGAIN DEFEATED NEAR RASGRAD. Manchester, Sept. 10.—A special to the Guardian from Shumla, Sept. 8, says there has boon serious fighting on Thurs day. The right of the ltasgrad army, under Nebjib Pasha, was engaged all day.

All they spared were some young Mnssnlmen women and girls whom they compelled to clothe themselves in ohristian garments. Twenty-five wagons were sent from head quarters and oonveyed the women and children to Hoin, where they have been supplied with attendance and food. Lastly, a telegram from Adrianople re ports that it has been confirmed that more than half the Jewish inhabitants of Kezau~ lik—men, women and children—have been massacred by the Russians and Bul garians. ARMISTICE TO BURY DEAD. London, Sept. 10.—The Daily News' correspondent with the army of Czaro< witch, describing the armistioe to bury the dead, says the Russians and Turks fra ternized heartily whenever they met dar ing the armistioe. They shook handB, exchanged bread, bartered trinkets for tobacco, and for the first time in the war came together like oivilized people. THE OZAROWITOH’b ARMY FORCED BACK TO BIELA. Iu the ovening after the termination of the armistioe, the Russians evaonated Abova,^fiuding it useless to attempt to bold out longer with nine battalions against sixty. Late this afternoon the whole division reached Baintzha, where they bivouacked, together with a large part of the 35th division, retreating from Gazova and Polamarka. The correspondent, Saturday noon says: We broke up camp at Baintzha at suurise this morning, and marchod direct to Biela, in hopes of being able to reach Guirgevo by Biela, the ltuatchuk road and Pyrgos foiry. I rode among the lino of four posts down the valley of the Baint zha Lorn to Buzovatza. I found the town deserted, except by a few Cossacks, who reported that the Turks had taken the Damoglia part of the road, and occupied Pyrgos, breaking up the ferry ogmmuni- cations. Turning back to Biela to make tbo trip by way of Simnitza, I found confirmation of this unwelcome tidings and also tho fact that the Czarowitob, who had been at Kajawivatza on the Bavnltzka Lorn, whither ho had retired from Kapnoe, when it became impossible to bold Palonearka and GAmbrova. He was ex - pected at Beila this afternoon (Saturday.) Tho town iu full of troops who are bivou ackd about in tbe immediate neighbor hood. Supply trains are crossing the bridge. Some even are returning as far as Pavloe. The army of tho Czaowitoh will hold the line of the Yautra near Beila. As far as I cau learn the llth corps still holds its position east of Tirnova. The 12 corps have retired across tbo Beila and linstchuk road, holding Torstenik and Metohka. The camp at Terstenik has been fortified within tho past few days, and is situated on a hill overlooking the Danube.

The French note demands that the sentence be car ried out; tho German note declares that the continuance of the present aspect of this affair might force Germany to have recourse to other measures. The Porte has sent a note to the Khedive respecting the article of tho slave trade convention with Euglaud, giving tho lattor the right of search. The Porte contests the Khe dive’s authority to grant such privilege to a foreign power, particularly in Ottoman waters in the Rod Sea.

TIIEANGLU-AMDRIGAN FISHERY COHRIINION. Halifax, September 10.—Tho fishery commission, it is understood, gave a decision on Friday, previous to adjourn ing, which completely destroys tho idea that tho Washington treaty put an end to all disputes relatives to tho North American fisheries. If the report is cor rect, audit seems to bo well founded, counsel acting for tho United States ask ed the Commissioners to rule that tbe Commission do not consider it within their province to award compensation, or take into consideration the advautngos to American fishermen of trans-shipping cargoes or baying bait, ice and supplies. Two days were spent in argument of this question, nearly all the connRol of both sides taking part. Tbe counsel for Groat Britian, took strong ground agaiust the proposition. A largo portion of tho Brit ish case was devoted to posist* iug at the advantage point to Ameri can fishermen of being position to purohaso bait and supplies, a claim for a large compensation being founded thereon. The American counsel contended that the Washington treaty gave no such privileges to their fisher men, and that the prosont commissioners should not take them into consideration. The idea of tbe Americans seems to be that a large number of our people being interested in the trade with American fishermen will prevent the Dominion Gov- ermeut from interfering with tbo latter, if they can under tho present laws, or in - trodnoing new legislation for suoh a pur pose. The Commission gave an unanimous decision that they wore incompetent to award compensation for tho transporta tion of cargoes in British waters, or for the purchase of ice, bait and supplies. FFFEOT OF TIIE DECISION. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Toronto, September 10.—The decision of the Fishery Commission thut in fixing tbe compensation to be paid by the United (States for the privileges accorded by the Washington treaty, it is not able to take into consideration the privileges of obn taining bait, ice and provisions and of trans-shipping fish, these not being spe cifically granted by tho treaty, gives rise to muoh comment. The Globe's Halifax special says tbe de cision narrows tbe question before tbe Commission, and no doubt will largely diminish the prospeot of obtaining a just compensation for the privileges uow en joyed by Americans. In one respect, however, tho decision is favorable Canada. It establishes the faofc that Americans only possess the right to catch fish within the three- mile limit. Tbo other privileges they are receiving through the favor of tho Cana dian people, aud tho Canadian Parliament may, by an act at its next session, debar American vessels from purchasing bait, ice, or provisions, and from trans-shipping fish at Canadian ports, if, indeed, the ex isting laws do not already debar them. Stripped of these privileges tho right of Americans would bo rodnood to Hmall di mensions. Thoir uow,construction of the treaty plaooH it in tho power of Canada to practically defeat tho treaty^ apparent intoution for tho remainder of the period, iH without tho privilege mentioned the right to catch fish is of little value.

SEVEN DEATHS AT FERNANDINA, FLA., Special Enquirer-Sun ] Jacksonville, Fla., Sept. 10.—The fatal termination of two oases yellow fever at Fernnndina last night, and the reports of new oasos, togethor with advice of physicians to citizens, to leave that oity, has thrown tbo wholo community into groat exoitemont. (Quarantine has been established against Fernandina in all tho principal towns in the State. An extra train arrived at Baldwin from Fernan dina with two cars crowded with fugitives and many will leave iu tho morning. Only two Hovero oases are reported to-night. Fatal numbor of deaths thus far from the fever is seven. Physicians claim diseaso has assumed a milder form. DENIES HIS “CONVERSION” IN THE FLORIDA CASE. [Judge Bradley to the Newark (N. J.) Adver tiser.] I perceive that the New York Sun has reiterated its charge that, after preparing a written opinion in favor of the Tilden electors in the Florida case submitted to the Electoral Commission, I changed my views during the night preceding tbe vote in consequence of a pressure brought to bear upon mo by Republican politicians aud Pacific Railrod men, whose carriages, it is said, surrounded my house daring the eveniug. This I believe is the impor tant poiut of the charge. Whether I wrote oue opinion or twenty in my pri vate examination of the subject is of little consequence, and no concern to anybody, if the opinion I finally gave was the fair result of ray deliberations, without influ ence from outside parties. The above slan der was published some time since, but l never saw it until recently, and deemed it too absurd to need refutation, but as it is categorically repeated, perhaps I ought to notice it. The same story about the carriages of leading Republicans aud others congregating at my house circula ted in Washington at oue tirue and came to tho ears of my family,only to raise a smile of ooutompt. The vfhole thing is a false hood, not a single visitor called at my house that evening, and during the whole sitting of the oommission I had no pri vate discussion whatever of the subject at issue with any person interested on the Republican side, and but very few words with any person. Indeed, I sedulously sought to avoid all discussion outside tbe commission itself. The allegation that I read an opinion to Judges Clifford and Field is entirely untrue. I read no opin ion to either of them, and have no recol lection of expressing any. If I did, it couhl only have been suggestively, or iu a hypothetical manner, and not intended ss a committal eof my final | judgment or action. The question was one of great importance, aud to me of much difficulty and embarrassment. I earnestly endeav ored to oome to the right decision, free from all political or other extraneous con siderations. In my private examination of the principal question—about going behind tbe returns—I wrote and rewrote the arguments and considerations on both sides, as they occurred to me, sometimes being inclined to one view of the subject and soiuotimos to tbe other; but finally I throw aside these lucubrations, and, ns tho Advertiser has rightly stated, wrote out tho short opinion which I read iu the Florida ease during the sitting of the commission. The opinion expresses the honest con- elusion to which I have arrived,and which aftor full consideration of the whole sub ject seemed to me the only satisfactory solution of tbo question. And I may add that the more 1 have reflected on it since tho more satisfied have I become that it was right. At all ovents, it was the result of rny.own reflections and consideration, without any suggestion from any quarter, except tho arguments adduced by the counsel in the publio discussion, and by tbo members of the commission in private consultations. As for the insinuation contained in a recent article published in a prominent periodical by a noted poli tician, implying that the case was decided in cousequence of a political conspiracy, I cau only say—and from the peculiar position 1 occupied on the oomruiBHion I am nblo positively to say—that it is ut terly devoid of truth, at least so far as tho action of the oommission itself was concerned. In that article the writer ooupleH my name with the names of those whom ho supposes obnoxious to publio odium. The doceueies of public expres sion, if nothing more, might well have deterred so able a writer from making porsoual imputations which he did not know to bo woll founded. liny CM* Visit to Louisville.

ANDERNON’N HE WARD. THE FRAUDULENT PRESIDENT GIVES AN OF FICE TO A MAN INDICTED FOR COUNTING IITM IN. oni tho Raltlmoro 8ua.] It bos just transpired that the notorious Audorsou, of the Louisiana Returning Hoard, who left here a few days ago, car ried back with him to New Orleans a commission aH Special Deputy Collector of that port, issued to bim at tbe iustuace of tho President. It cannot bo contended that tbo appointment of a person to an important aud responsible position who is under criminal indiotment is an example of civil service reform. Anderson boasted also that tho President would have made him Collector if he had desired it. The object of his ap** pointmont as Speoial Deputy Collector is to give him the opportunity to provide places in tho New Orleans Custom-house for the men who manufactured the fraud ulent affidavits on which the Vernon pariph aud other returns were thrown out. It is hoped and believed by those who are interested, teat the appointment of these men will induce them to perjure them selves for tho benefit of Wells aud Ander son. As they have alroady committed the blackest kind of perjury, it cau very prop erly ho anticipated that they will not hes itate to do it again if they aro taken care of. This will all be for the benefit of Wells and Anderson, but, as argued, it is not civil service reform. “Well, my son, you have got into grammar, have you?” sbiJ a proud sire to his thickest chip tho other night. “Let mo hoar you compare some adjectives.” Chip.—“All right.

Her face was very pale, as was that of her sister, as they both stood there look iug at each other with that awe struck expression which a death leaves upon the faces of the living. ‘Dead!’ she repeated in a falteriug voice. ‘It doesn't seem possible. It is so sudden, so unexpected, so dreadful that I can scarcely realize it, What are you going to wear?’ ”
