WAS FISK ARMED? Srn«ailonnI Story of a Dying Woman —The Whole Trnth Revealed to a Blindfolded Reporter. A reporter of the St. Louis Democrat has immortalised himself by stumbling upon a dying woman in that city who made the most thrilling revelation to him that has ever appeared in print. The reporter was met in the street hy a man who told him his presence was demanded at the bedsido of a woman who had a most important communication to make, and who had only a short while to live. After allowing himself to be blindfolded he was conducted to her presence, and then the unfolding of the thrilling tale commenced as follows: Listen, and I well tell yon. but first pour ino a teaspoonful of yon medicine." The reporter picked up a vial, and poured carefully a portion of its <*>ntents. ho tnmod to give it to her, he heard her murmur: **Edgardo, Edgardo/* in a broken voice. M I will tell you now," she proceeded, after the taste of the medicine* had passed away, “but first I want your oath never reveal my name. In vender trunk you'll find iny mother's bible; bring it to mo." It was a solemn oath the reporter took upon tlint ancient, ivy-grown, moss-cov ered bible (?)—oath never wliilo earth claimed him, while the blue arch of day hung over him, never in joy or sorrow, to let her name escajK* his lips. “And now listen. You know Edward a stoke© r Aye, he was to me a father—” Sh-h-h, and you knew James Fisk, Jr.?" I knew him well; a fellow of infinite jest—" Sh—h—h. Listen to my tale and do not interrupt me." She told her story to the effect that she had been loved and deserted by Stokes, and that to revenge herself sho sought and won Fisk's affect ion in onlerto poison his mind against Stokes. Sue winds up l»y declaring that though Stok«*s did mur der Fisk he did it in self-defense, as Fisk was armed, and by herself. We let the reporter finish tho story: “ James Fisk, Jr., tnu armed, far I arm ed him myself. He hod— Quick, the po tion, I die." Tho reporter hurriedly poured it out and gave it to her. “ What did Fisk have T’ he asked breathlessly. “A pistol and—" “And what?" “Some strychnine, and—” “And what T* “ A bowie knife, and —" “Wlmt?" “ Some arsenic, and —" Iler breath was very feeble. “ And what?" demanded th© reporter, who was wild witli excitement. •* A Springfield rifle, and—" “What else?" “ Some ratsbane, and —" “ Wlmt ?” “ A breech loading musket, and —" “ And wliat ?’* She wns faint ng rapidly. “ Some laudanum, and —" What da©, for God'* sake P" “ A double bonded shot gun, and —" “ What moreT* “ Some corrosive sublimate, and—" Her voice sunk to a whis{»er. “ Quick, what els«» did he have ?" “ A sabre and —" “And what?" “ Sons jewrits, and —" “ What the ?" “A sword bayonet, and—" A film was stealing over her eyes. “Tell me what more.” “Some croton oil, and —" “And what? oh, what P" “A Hina*mnt and—" “Quick, quick, what else.” % The rattle was in her throat. “ Some—a—some—a—Prussic acid, and—" “And what? Oh! whatr Some blue vitriol, and—' “Did he have Anything else?” “Yes, some nitro-glyccrine. and—-" Her lower jaw fell, and her body straightened. Suddenly a sweet smile bloomed on her face, and she looked up as the forgiven dying look when tlvey see tho angels. “Did he have anything else P” queried the reporter. “Y«s, a Gatling g g-gu.*’ And with these wortls she floated out upon the unknown sea that surrounds the whole world. The reporter has sworn to this state ment before th© proper judicial author ity and lias been allowed two months leave of absence to get the taste of it out of his mouth, so as to be fresh and ht when he is summoned as a wit ness for Stokes at the trial in October.

It is edited with signal ability, and though strongly Democratic is yet moderate in tone.

The Advertiser and Republican, of Thursday, says: Aocidkxt os thk J„ P. k M.

It ap pear* that from some cons© or other, which we could not ascertain, the train on tho P. k 31. mi In tv! from Talla hassee, Iwftxnd east, ran off the track about three miles from Madison, ivsulting as al>ove stated in th© killing of the mail agent, Scott, and tho injury of several other persons on th© train. Tho infor mation was received at Live Oak ly tel egraph, but no particulars given. The News, of same date, nays a well known employe at one of the mills of Sa vannah attempted to commit suicide on Tuesday morning, by swallowing fire grains of arsenic. A brace of physicians ami a stomach pump, however, were too much for him. Truth Triumth ant.—Under this head the last Sandersville Herald prints the fol lowing: It is well known to many in this coun ty and out of it, that, at the spring term of Washington Superior Court, the pro- pri.-tors of the Centra) Georgian filed a bill in «*quity seeking the suppression of the Sandersville Herald. The hill con tained many false allegations, to which we have a mind to refer as they deserve, but aa it has never been onr policy to “re turn railing for railing." we forbear, liv ing conscience to do its own work. The case came np for a hearing before Gov. Johnson on Friday last. The Georgian was represented by Mr. Langmad© and the editor of that paper; the Herald by ^on. H. D. D. Twiggs and Col. R. L. Warthen. We are more than gratified at being able to say the Herald wa* sustained at every point, and the bill dismissed at plaintiff's cost. A brave little negro boy aged only fif teen years, saved a little danghter of Mr. T.J.McNish, of Savannah, from drowning on Tuesilay. The Advertiser-Republican commends his conduct in the highest terms. We regret that it does not give his name. Wo always toko pleasure in* doing that sort of free advertising. Referring to the drowning of those two young girls in Thomaston county, last Sunday morning, the Tltoroasville Enterprise furnishes this additional in formation. On Monday afternoon 3Ir. W. L. Hud son, J. P. for the 1227th District, held an inqnest on the bodies—Dr. R. J. Brace making a post mortem examination. We have not seen the Justice's return, but learn that it is. in snbstance, that the girls came to their death by drowning, at the bands of unknown parties. We also burn that the physician's affidavit is to the effect that the person of Mi** Norris had been violated. On examining the gronnd*. a large bore-foot track wns dis covert on the sand lmr upon which the girls left their clothing and loading from thence into the water. Their names were Sarah Norris and Ella Ball, aged, respectively, sixteen and thirteen years.

The Accident on Tnt Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad.—The same paper ha* the following particulars of the recent accident on the above rood, brief telegraphic mention of which was made two or three days since: The passenger train, composed of five cars, two express cars, baggage car, and .first and second class passen ger coaches—which left Charlotte at 1:20 A. m., and was doe at Colum bia at 0:30, was running along at the rate of about thirty miles an hour, on regular schedule time and altogether unsuspicious of any danger ahead, as the rood should hav©l»e©n clear. About five miles be yond Columbia, as the train turned a sharp curve, after just emerging from a cut, the fireman, a colored man named Henry, discovered a train al%nt one hun dred sad fifty yarils distant, approaching at full speed. He touched the engineer, Mr. Robt. Jamison, calling his attention to tho coming train, and immedi ately jumped from the engine to the ground. braising himself consider ably, bat being otherwise nninjure<L Mr. Jamison, horrified at the situation, blew down brakes, reversed his engine, and, seeing that a collision was inevita ble, followed the fireman's example, and jumped to the ground. He fell upon m hod la the sand, spraining his Nik badly, but fortunately escaping without serious injury. All of this, as a matter of course, was done almost in an instant. The trains approached each ►*h«*r at lightning speed, and in the twinkling of an eye tho two engines came together with terrible force. Both were literally smashed. The train from Columbia was the paymaster's train, composed of a ear and the engine, in charge of Paymaster W. Elliott Or chard, a young man about twenty-two years of age. Mr. Orchard left Colum bia with his train, it is said, a short time before th© passenger train ca* due, in the exportation of being able to reach Stack's Turnout, about six miles beyond Columbia, before that train. His train was running at a tremendous rate of peed—about forty miles an hour, we are fold. When a mile this side of Stack's, Mr. Orchard became convinced that he could not reach the turnout in time, ami he had fust stepped from his car to the engine to instruct the engineer, 31r. Ro land Williamson, to turn l»ack, when the passenger train rounded the curve just ahead. 31r. Orchard and Mr. Willikm- som were both upon the engine when the collision occurred. When the en gines struck, the tender of the pay train reared upon the locomotive, and Mr. Orchard was caught between them. After the consternation had somewhat subsided, and search was instituted for the injured. Mr. Orchard was heard calling for 3Ir. Trexevant, the conductor of tho passenger train. Mr. Trexevant, with other persons, went to his assistance and removed him from the debris. As soon as he was lifted up, how ever, his right leg and a portion of his side and bowels dropped away from his body, presenting a most sickening and heartrending spectacle. Mr. Orchard, however, still retained consciousness. He was carried to a grove nearby and placed on the grasK, whore he died in a few min- ut«*s. Mr. Roland Williamson, the engin eer of th© pay train was seriously, arid it is Lured, fatally injured, a piece of the wreck having been forced through his side. When the passenger train left Columbia yesterday he was not expected to live. The fireman of the pay train, a negro, was seriotisly injure*!, but we were unable to ascertain the exact nature of his wounds. The two express ears in the passenger train wen next to th© engine. The first was filled with through freight, and the aecond. in which was the m©s&cn- gor, Mr. W, C. Graham, with Columbia and Augusta freight. When the signal « down brakes ” was given. Mr. Graham anticipated a run off, and gr3.sj*©d the fide of the car with i-ne ban*!, while in th© other he held a large roll of money, around which he had ju*t been tying a cord. He had hardly grasped th© side of the car when the collision occurred. Th© tender of th© locomotive was thrown upon th© first express car. and the st-c- ond express forced upon th© top ..f the pile. Th© latter ©ar fell to pieces almost immediately upon reaching its vk-v:it«d position, and Hr. Graham found himself lying upon a few planks—the bottom of the cur—on top of th© tender, which, in turn, surmounted th© first express, or it.-* remnants. His ©scape from death was almost miraculous. As it was. In* only received a few severe bruises about th© head. Th© end <•( th© r n©it th© ©i* pres* »a* used by th© l. nited Stat 1 agent, Mr ¥©liy. Th© cor wa* smashed, but 3£r.

A colored train hand, named Archer, who was standing on the platform of the second class passenger coach at the time of the accident, was caught be tween it and the baggage car and crushed to death. A colored boy, who was also standing on the platform, had one of his feet cut off. There fajita were found lut week.

A gentleman who was standing xn the aisle of the pa^^enger coaches was hurl.-d through a window, but beyond fai ling a “little surprise*!" suffered ill (resequences from his involuntary fly ing leap. The cars were all, more or lees, damaged. The two express cars were completely demolished and the greater portion of the freight destroyed or badly injured. The money which Mr. Graham was holding at the time of the coUimon was scattered in every direction but was afterwards all recovered. Both engines were piled in a moss of ruins and will be a total loss to the company. Another Augusta book-keeper, which his name is W. R. Evans, and who is well known in that city, has been forging the names of his employers—Messrs. Coates k Sixer—to checks amounting to nearly $225, and has vamoosed. W. N. Norris, of 3Iarietta, a train Further Delay is Dangerons. Such is the heading of a very strong and earnest editorial in the Herald of Tuesday, in reference to the necessity of appointinga Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. We quote the following extract: The nomination for Chief Justice of the United States is a matter too important to the country and to the liberties of tho American people to be longer neglected by the President. Chief Justice Chose has been dead for months. The vacancy created hy lib death lias already existed too long a tin e. D^lay^ are unnecessary always, and m matters of such supreme importance they are only too likely to be dangerous. The Suprem * Court is above the Executive, above the legislative branches of the government, for it alone has power to interpret the laws which Congress enacts and which the President is required to execute. It is even above the law when the law does violence to thecon.-titution.

The postmaster of Gainesville has moved his office from the Court-house—in the centre of the town—out to the depot, which is nearly a mile out of town; and the correspondent of an Atlanta paper charges that it has been done for the convenience and personal benefit of three or four adventurers, who have a little property near the depot. Mss. Barthoijihkw Harmon, of Butts county, died last Thursday, aged 1(11 years. The North Georgia Cotton Crop.— The Borne Courier says: Between the too large growth of weed, sudden drouth and the worms, the cotton crop in this and the adjoining counties has been cut off about 25 per cent, in the last thirty <iays. It is opening very fast, and the present prosjH-ct is that it will bo nearly all opened hy the 10th of Oc tober. Thr Cartersville Standard and Ex press says the crop will not be nearly so large as was supposed a month ago. Messrs. C. E. Hiua k Co., of Borne, proprietors of the Etowah Manufacturing Company, who were burned out last Monday, losing $12,000 or $15,000, don’t intend to give it np so. They have al ready leased another building, and will be at work in a few days. A Novel Application of the Kukltix Law. About twenty colored Laborers em ployed at tho phosphate works, who have been driven off by the strikers, appealed to United Stab-s Commissioner HorlWk, to let them make affidavits against the parties who hod interfered with them and deprived them of the means of a livelihood, so that these persons might ho prosecuted under the enforcement act. The commissioner heard the statements the complainants had to make, and then examined the act to see if it cwldts tf plied for their 1-nefit. His decision has Ken filed, and is that the act does not afford relief of tho kind asked for. and that the remedy lies with the local and State authorities.—Charleston Neva and Courier, 1st A. Horlbeek understands his business, and what his employer expects him to do. He knows the so-called enforcement net was never intended for any other purpose than to scarce Democrats from the polls, and if that failed, to punish them for do clining to allow themselves to be driven off and bullied by vagabond negroes on election day. That’s just exactly what it was passed for, and Horlbeek shows his keen appreciation of the fact and a most praiseworthy devotion to the interests of “the party” in foiling to find any relief in its provisions for the aggrieved par ties. If they could have shown that they were Radicals and their persecutors Democrats, he would have found relief for them without the slightest trouble. Spain. It is difficult indeed, to keep pace with tho plots, insurrections, combinations and perplexing phases of the miserable civil war which continues to rage in this wretched country. Neither monarchy or republic seems to suit the people, and revolution and anarchy appear to bo their natural element. Telegrams from Madrid, received in New York as late as the 15th inst., state that the “leaders of the Cartagena insurrection are endeavor ing to secure the co-operation of the Car- lists in their efforts to raise the siege of the city. They have made propositions to the Carlists to attack the Republicans rear while tie- l.-lged make a sortie. It is not known how the Carlists have received these overtures, but the exposure of this desperate resort has de prive.! the insurgents of all public sym pathy. Intelligence has been received here that disturbances have occurred on the Island of Majorca. General Moriones has been .appointed Generalissimo of the armies of Spain. Private dforatchas received in this city deny the truth of the report given cur rency by the Carlisle, that the Republi can troops in the north under General Santapau Loino, have met with a severe defeat by the insurrectionists. On the contrary, they state that the engagement resalted in a victory for the Government farces, the Carlists being defeated with great slaughter. The number of insur rectionists engaged in the battle was 14,- 000. while that of the Republicans was only 10,000," Burning: Corn in the West* A correspondent of the New York Tri bune, writing from Iowa, gives the following as the answer of a prominent and well informed fmflma of that State to the question, “We hear a great deal said in the East about the farmers in Iowa burning their ©ora. Has this been done to any great extent ?’* “I snppoee MnUnBMfS was burned last winter in mefloM of the State where to fill the vacancy with proper circum spection and consideration, seems at best to be inexcusable frivolity—a playing, npon one pretext or another, with the highest and noblest office which it can fall to the lot of a President to fill. It is not an office to be filled upon any pretext whatever, nor is it one which any Presi dent can offer as a political reward or a piirti.-an bribe. Indeed, it cannot 1** r. - gardedos in the President’s gift. It is not his to bestow from personal consid erations ; but when it is to be filled, tbe appointment of a Chief Justice is a sol emn duty, to be performed with the great est discretion and the highest wisdom and from ths purest motives. This duty for weeks and months ought to have been pressing npon the President's conscience day and night. The Chief Justice should be now in his seat, confirmed by a higher power tlian tho Senate of the United States—the universal sentiment of the country. Any further postponement can only be meant to await the result of State elections, so as to secure the nomination of Mr. Conkling, Mr. Frelinghuysen or some other Senatorial favorite, without endangering a seat in the Senate. The highest office in the Government must bAUms be allowed to serve tbe epgen cies of party; it must not be made an ele ment of success in the political schemes of the President or his partisans, and the people will be quick to understand tliat in leaving the Judicial Department with out a head upon a pretext and as a bribe they witness a flagrant exhibition of Caesarism. The Profits of Rearing Fine Stock. It should ever bo borne in mind by the farmer that it costs as much to raise an indifferent runt of a hog or cow os the best thoroughbred animal, and yet one will pay a hundred fold more than the other. As an illustration, we give the re sult of a late cattle sale on the farm of Senator Samuel Campbell, at New York Mills, near Utica, New York. The prices realized are the highest on record: Tho herd consisted of 109 head, all Short-horns, bnt of vaiying ages, condi tions and powers. Fifteen, twelve cows and three bulls, were tho famous Duchess tribe of what is usually termed tho Bates strain of blood,” from the celebra ted breeder of their progenitors in Eng land, Thomas Bates, who died over 20 years since. The progenitors were three in number, but two of them left no female •progeny, and the third, with her descen dants, all owned by Mr. Campbell and in cluded in the sole, comprised all the pure Duchess cattle in the world. The sale, which hod been well advertised, attracted the attention of cattle fanciers from this country and Europe, a large number of whom wore present, and the bidding was very spirited. The highest price realized was $40,600, paid by Mr. R. P. Davis, of England, for a seven year old Duclic3S cow. While sho was being sold a rather humorous event occurred. As the bidding proceeded, she followed the herdsman ietly around the ring, displaying her e points to the best advantage, but as the auctioneer reached the bid of $40,000 she suddenly stopped in her walk, menac ingly threw up her head, us if amazed at l>eing rated at so large n sum. and began to back out of the ring with all her might. It was some time before they could bring her back, and it took three stout men to do it. The bidding again began npon ter, and was finally run np to $40,600, at which price she was struck off, when the noble cow quietly followed her herdsman back to the stall. The next highest price wa3 $35,000, paid by Mr. Berwick, of England, and the next 10,600, by Lord Skimmersdale, who jumped from $20,000 to $25,000 at one time, in liis anxiety to distance all other bidders and possess himself of the prize. One animal sold for $27,000, two for $25,- 000 each, one for $19,000, and several for from $10,000 to $15,000 each. The total amount obtained for the 109 cattle was $331,585, averaging more than $3,000 for every head. The fifteen Dnchess cattle brought $262,850, an average price of $17,523.33 per animal. Amongthe prom inent bidders were Lord Skimmersdale, a well known English nobleman, R. P. Davis, of England, Ezra Cornell, of New York, and A. W. Griswold, of Morrisville, Vt., the latter buying ten head for $15,- " "0. The prices paid and the men who paid them prove the excellence of the Duchess cattle, and to wliat an extreme price fancy stock may bo carried. How Gen. Banks Defended Massachusetts. “John Paul," who has been doing Sar atoga this cummer for the Tribune, met Gen. Banks during the season, which event revived some very interesting rem iniscences. He says: It grieved me that the General does not rememl *er where we traveled in com pany once; but the circumstances were not very favorable for photography per- kftvv.’ Vi* . w . . Am.!,...!'.. - A . C a1. . !. haps. We were traveling out of the She nandoah Valley, and maneuvering very successfully to draw Stonewall Jackson along in onr rear. Not a man of us but swore that the Rebel General should not get to Massachusetts before we did; that the invader should not set foot on the frontier of our native State without find ing us sternly confronting him in the in terior. And it was only necessary to gaze once in each soldier's face to see that the hated enemy could not capture us without stepping over the boundary lines and vio lating the territory of Maine. I wished several times during thr recent races that I had here the gray mare I rode through that campaign to enter her for some of the purses. The bursts of speed which that faithful creature showed on several occasions would pass belief if you did not know just how near the detested foe got to us at times. It may not be that I won spurs to start in with, but I used them well coining out. Thr Grkat American Rascal" is what the Nation, (Rad.,) of New York, most felicitously calls Butler. It says: For the last two years his hold on the President and on Congress has been in creasing.

Suppose a farmer lives five miles fir m a railroad station where coal is worth $6 a ton, and corn will sell for th© same price. Assuming two dollars a day as fair wages for the man and his team, the corn would be worth on the farm five dollars a ton, and to get the ooal there would cost seven dollars.

Green, son of General Duff Green and formerly of this city, made their re port to-day. The report contains co pious extracts from the evidence, and sets forth that the charges have been shown to be without the slightest foun dation. and that Green knew them to be false when he published them, and that tho committee are forced to this conclu sion by Green’s own testimony taken upon oath before the committee. A series of resolutions were unanimously adopted by tho Association, condemnin' the views of the report condemning Green in dignified but decided language, and declaring that the conduct of Mr. Mer rick, in the transactions referred to, was not only irreproachable, but highly hon orable, efficient, faithful and magnani mous. The controversy arose out of some transactions that took place while Mr. Merrick was acting a3 counsel, while Green was in prosecution of suits to re cover property for Green in this district, and of which he had been deprivod dur ing the war. The suit was prosecuted to success by Mr. Merriek, and the property since sold for 475,000. Another Fool Gang.

The Grand SHREVEPORT. “One Great Charnel House”—226 Heaths Miner 1st September—Some £•• Down with the Fever. Ne\v Orleans, September 17.—A Picay une special from Shreveport, dated yes terday, says: The number of new cases to-day is less than for the several preced ing days, and the number of interments fell from 33 yesterday to 25 to-day. It is not thought, however, that there is any abatement, but that the material for the fever to work on is considerably dimin ished. The Shreveport Times says: “ The mortality is beyond precedent, and it looks as though but comparatively few would get well." Thus far very few have got about, while some linger along between life and death. In some few in stances whole families have been swept out of existence in the short space of ono week. The sudden change in the wea ther last Sunday night sent scores to their beds, which accounts for the large number of interments in the last day or two. In the language of the New Or leans physicians, they dropped off like sheep dying of the rot. Medical treat ment of the most skilful kind does not appear to do any good in a great many cases, while in many others the tem porary relief afforded is quickly followed by death. Our stores are all closed, and all our dwellings are hospitals, in fact Shreveport is one great hospital and one great charnel house, and the Times merely a death record." The same journal says: “ The number of interments since the 1st of September sums up 226. The number of sick is va riously estimated from 500 to S00. p.c. SAWEB^ ECLIPSE COTTON GIN.

Farther Particulars of the Condition of Affairs. New York, September 19.—Fisk Hatch say their suspension will be but temporary. Their advances are- npon Chesapeake and Ohio road, and Central Pacific. They expect to resume as soon as the panic ceases. Fitch k Co. have suspended. Tho office of Fisk k Hatch is strongly guarded by tho police. A prominent Wall street hanker says that if the movement now making to get the Secretary of the Treasury to come to their relief with $10,000,000, should fail, there will bo a general suspension of banks and others. A meeting of the bank presidents is now being held at the Clearing House. Vernon k Hay have suspended. The po lice prevented any bnt members en tering the Stock Exchange. E. D. Rou- dolpli k Co., bankers of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, and Wm. H.Connor.have announced their suspension.

Tne run on the Union Trust Company is sulfiding. Then? is more or less crowd around every paying teller’s desk. George B. Ally, whose suspension is al ready announced, is widely known in con nection with fast horses, having .raised Dexter. He says his suspension is caused by a general decline in stocks, and espe cially Vanderbilt stocks. His liabilities are not large, and he expects to resume soon. Greenleaf, Norris k Co. is an old and wealthy stock firm. President Calhoun, of the Fourth National Bank, says: “ We have no reason to fear anything.” President Tappan. of the Gallatin,Na tional Bank, l ays he believes the better lianking institutions will weather the storm. Secretary Carlton, of the Union Trnst Company, says that company is perfectly solvent, and will meet all demands. It is reported that that company hod $700,- 000 on deposit last night. Mr. Fahnestock, of Jay Cook k Co., said, in an interview this afternoon, that the firm hoped to pay all liabilities. Mr. Gated* another meml»er of the firm, said the London honso will have a large surplus after the payment of all its debt*, unless there is great shrinking in tiie value of their securities. * The latest rumor on the street is that the Govemlnent will come to the res cue to-morrow by buying five million bonds. The grain and provision markets are all unsettled by the Wall street panic. State and railroad bonds and city )>ank shares have been practically neglected, while dealing in railroad stocks continued on an enormous scale. Thia afternoon the principal transactions were in Pacific Mail, Central and Hudson, Western Union, Rhode Island. Wabash, St- Paul, Northwestern, Lake Shore and Erie. Out side purchasers continue in considerable numbers on the declining market for in vestments, which aided in strengthening the market. This afternoon Assistant Treasurer, Hillhonse, said it ia in the power of the national banks to arrest further disaster, and they will undoubtedly do so. The Evening Poet is informed that Sec retary Richardson will offer to buy five to ten millions of 5-20’s to-morrow. This will throw into the banks legal tender notes, for the large currency balance in the Treasury is nearly all composed of le gal tenders. With the panic thus checked, a calm, with low rates for money, will soon follow. Jacob Little k Co. have faded. Suspensions. Philadelphia.

Tho Manhattan Bank was open imtil the same hour to certify the Union Trust Company's checks. Prominent bank officers are of the opinion that the worst of the crash is over.’, The volume of business in the Stock Exchange largely exceeded that of yes terday, while the fluctuations were much greater. As the announcements of fail ures followed each other in quick succes sion, the excitement became wilder, and heavy blocks of stocks were thrown over board, apparently regardless of the prices they brought. The Express to-night sums up the sit uation as follows : The day closes on the whole with fewer killed and wounded than might be expected, all things considered. No trust company has suspended; no bank has refused payment, and all the great railroad corporations are apparently as firm as a rock. The following firms have suspended in addition to those al ready reported: Whittemore k Anderson and Smith, Seaver & Co. Ten Millions of Bonds to be Purchased.

Grand Haven, Mich., September 15.— The propeller ironsides, of theEngelmann line, connecting with the Detroit and Milwaukee railway, and one of the largest steamers on the lakes, foundered and sunk seven miles off this port to-day. Her signal of distress was hoisted at nine a. m., •nt .so terrible was the sea and heavy the wind no assistance could reach her. She labored in the trough of the sea from about half-past eight a. m. until the time 3he sunk. The passengers and crew pre pared the boats to leave her at about half past ten o’clock, and the last boat left her at ten minutes before twelve. When the last boat had got about a quarter of a mile fr'iin her she w©nt down. There were five boat-s filled with the crew and passengers. One boat, containing five sp^nded : ! men and four women, capsized, and only A Desperate Fight In Truckee City— Both .lfeii Empty their PlxtoU-Onc Killed and the Other Mortally Wounded. Truckee City, Nev., September 17.— Andy Fuget, a carpenter, and Jack White, a miner, fought a duel night before last with six-shooters. A feud hail is ted between the men for somo time; and a few days ago when they met on the depot grounds Fnget said: “ We might os well settle our trouble here. Draw and defend yourself." White said he was not armed, and Fuget replied that he believed him a liar. The men then separated with the understanding that they would fight the first time they met. Night before last the men again met on the corner of Main street and a little alley running uj5 into the Chinese quarter. They had no sooner recognized each other than the battle began. There were several persons in the neighbor hood, but no one who saw the shooting could tell who fired the first shot. Fuget is said to have been approaching Main street from the alley, and was met by White, who was passing along the side walk. When tho firing began Fuget placed himself behind an awning post at the corner of the street and alley, while White stood on the sidewalk. The firing was very rapid; so rapid, indeed, that many who heard it thought that more than two men were engaged in the shooting. The majority of those who were in the neignborhood when the shoot ing began ran away as fast as their legs would carry thefu; but two or three men, who sought shelter in the iron doorways of Burkhaltcr’s store, stood their ground and witnessed the whole battle. White fell first, and, striking on the edge of the sidewalk, rolled into a gutter about 18 inches in depth. Fuget fell about the same time, seemingly from the effect of White’s last shot, rolling into the same gutter in which White was lying, and at no great distance from him. Between the two men lay a bundle of gunny sacks, owing to which they were unable to see each other. Fuget began to crawl to ward White, who lay in the gutter unable to rise. He dragged himself along the gutter until he reached the gunny sacks. He climbed up on these until he could see his mortal enemy, and then fired at him his two # remaining shots. White aroused himself, and, by great effort, raised his pistol and fired his last shot, which rolled Fuget from his position on th-3 sacks, aiyl ended the desperate and bloody fight. When the firing ceased and only groans were to be beard, the citizens rapidly collected, and soon a great crowd was o the bloody battle-field. The bleeding and groaning men mere carried to where they could be cared for. Fuget, however, needed but little care, as he was dying when taken np, and lived less tlian ten minutes. The shot which proved fatal struck him in the left groin, severing a large aftery. He bled frightfully. White's wounds were three in number, and of such a nature that they must necessarily prove fatal. Ono shot passed through his body from side to side, just above tbe hips; another entered his right breast, and ranging back, lodged a ' his spine; the third struck him in the lower part of the abdomen, passing through the bladder.

Chicago, September 17.—The Nation al Association of Spiritualists is in session here, and President *L. K. Cooley, of Vine- land, N. J., as well as a number of lead- w spirits from various parts of the country are on hand. So far the discus sions show a very inharmonious state of affairs. Mrs. Woodhull defended her course and her peculiar notions with a good deal of vigor. During the session Lost night the speakers indulged in the most radical utterances on all subjects. Miss Anna M. Middlebrook, of Connecti cut, said : I stand here to-night, os far as the Christian religion is concerned, deter mined on its destruction. In politics I am a Rebel. I avow it boldly. This is a sham republic. With refer* nee to social problems, I am a revolutionist. Why slioold we in the nineteenth century go back eight hundred yeara for our doctrine ? If we live up to our philosophy we will see the time when the mummy creeds of Christianity will be overturned. The next speaker was Anthony Higgins, of Jersey City. lie was glad to meet the representatives of nine or ten millions of American people. We are called Spirit ualists. I have another nam© for onr sect, Anti-Christians. (Applause.) Since the Christians have ftiiled to elevate humanity we must seek that elevation by different paths than those which they have pur sued. Victoria C. Woodhull claims that every one has a right to their own body and soul. This is contrary to the doc trines of Christianity, and yet you Anti- Christians, who would undermine the Christian tree, long to feed on the fruits of that tree, for the system of marriage is one of its fruits. You are looking at it through tho goggle* of Mosos, judging it by tho dogma of Christianity, and you cannot expect tliat it will appear to you in it* p-oper light. Under the present system man and wife and brother and sis ter are in conflict. It is onr duty to de clare moral welfare on these defective in stitutions.
