Deputy U. S. Revenue Collector Phil lips made a raid from Nashville, in Overton, Jackson, Fortress and Putman counties. They destroyed several distilleries ranking in value from 100 to $300, but at Craw ford's Mill, near Livingston they were attacKea by a force estimated at fifty men. Firing immediately began and continued until the ammunition of the revenue force was nearly ex hausted, compelling them to retreat, it is reported that four distillers were killed ana several wounaea.

CASUALTIES. TRAIN WRECKED. A serious accident occurred, seven miles from Boston, on the evening "after the Silver Lake rowing match between Davis of Portland and Eeagan of Boston. A crowded excursion train of twenty cars was thrown from the track by a misplaced switch, and part of them went over an embankment. Ten are reported killed and 150 injured.

At least nf th cars were wrecked, including the A four uasseneer coaches. Among the latter was an English coach, in which were many oarsmen and newspaper nun. Thfwe ears were piled upon each other, and the wonder is that the loss of life was not greater. P. Beagan, loser of the race, was sitting with Mrs.

Falkner, the wife of his old boating partner, and both were killed. C. H. Morgan, eon of the editor of the Express, was killed. Among the injured are Mrs.

Blakie, wife of a Cambridge boat builder; Geo. C. Ri'mhall. of the Associated press; W. Safford, TOr.vt.Ar the ExTO-ess: E.

Mahonev, of the Shawmut crew, and two of Gen. Butler's sons. who are reported seriously nurt. It is stated that Jas. 1 lynn, manager or the Silver Lake regatta, is tatally Hurt.

STEAMER LOST. Intelligence has been received in New York of the loss of the Pacific mail steamer ftooroia. She struck on a rock off the harbor at Punta Arenas, passengers and crew saved. The Georgia was coming out of the harbor Punta Arenas, about forty-eight hours sail from Panama, when she struck a reef and went a ground. The steamer was going to San Francisco, and had on board the passen-of the steamer Colon of the same line.

Rh hail nn five cabin nassengers besides large cargo of merchandise. She was a large tomer huilt a few vears ago at nr. nf 1400.000. and at the time of her loss was fully insured. FATAL EXPLOSION.

At Wilkesbarre, four miners were endeavoring to disperse'the accumulation of gas in the shaft of the Lehigh Valley Coal company, one of them made his appearanee with a naked lamp, and an explosion instantly followed, inflicting injuries which resulted in aeatn to tne entire party. THE FEVER SCOURGE. FEVER COMMISSION. The yellow fever commission appointed by surgeon-General Woodworth, consisting of Dr. S.

M. Bemiss, of New Orleans, chairman, Dr. Jerome Cochran, of Mobile, and Prof. El- lerd, a Howard of Baltimore, met in New Orleans. Dr.

Cochran explained to a reporter the method of inquiry to be pursued. An addition to the answers expected to be received from the persons to whom circulars are being sent, those circulars embracing every possible question in regard to the origin of the contagion, its infection, spread, effects, treatment and results, the commission expects to gather an immense amount of testimony by investigating particular cases, going from house to house making inquiries of convalescents, thpir relatives and friends, examining the anitarv condition of the foci of the disease, and in various other ways attempting to clear up the ground and reach some general principles. AID FROM PARIS. Krantz, chief commissioner of the Paris exhibition, has written to Commissioner General McCormick offering to organize a special performance in behalf of the snffeiiprs from the yellow fever scourge. The fete was appointed to take place at Trocadero Palace on the 15th.

POLITICAL. THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS. Returns from Ohio up'to the time for printing this side of our paper, indicate tne electiontif nine Republican Congressmen and eleven Democratic Congressmen. The Republicans are Townsend, Garfield, Updegraff, Monroe, Keefer, Neal, McKinley, Young and Butterworth. The Democrats elected are M.c-Mahon, Leifre, Hill, Hurd, Fenley, Converse, Ewinc.

Dickey, Atheden, Geddis, and Warner, The Republican State ticket is elected by a majority estimated at ten vuuumuu. iut results may be slightly changed before this reaches the reader. In Indiana the Democrats carried ths State. The legislature is Democratic by 6 majority on a joint oaiiot. dix iwijuuuwii Democratic Congressmen and one independ ent were elected.

Iowa reports large Bepublican gains, and the election of the Republican ticket by 15,000 majority. The Greenbackers elected two Congressmen and the Republicans the remainder. RESULT IN CONNECTICUT. Reports of the Connecticut election on the 7th, so far as received, show Kepubncan gains. Norwich dispatches state that the result of the town elections in Eastern Connecticut is to leave the same parties in possession of the local governments as last year.

The remarkable features of these elections is the development of the Prohibition sentiment. Norwich and New London and nearly all the larger villages east of the Connecticut river voted no license. FOREIGN NEWS. SOCIALISM RED HOT. In the Reichstag last week during the debate on the anti-socialist bill, Hasselman, the well known socialist agitator, made a violent speech, beginning and ending with threats of violence and bloodshed as a result of repressive legislation.

He said the people would hold those responsible for the bloodshed who helped frame and carry out the bill. In concluding, he declared the day would oome when the socialist would take up arms and fight against their tyrants. AUSTRIAN AFFAIRS. Dispatches from Vienna state that the resignation of Von Zell, the Hungarian Minister, of Finance, will probably take effect imme diately. The question of the acceptance of the reauroationji of the Hungarian Ministers will probably await the meeting of the diet.

Geoiige William Curtis delivered an ad dress on Civil-Service Reform before the General Conference of Unitarians held recently at Saratoga. There is' a suggestive contrast between Minister Foster, hissed a Mexican theatre, and Minister Zamacona, feted and flunkied. in Chicago. It is a curious fact that the paper on which the official catalogue ot the 1'aris Exposition is printed yas manufactured in a Connecticut paper mill.

The anti-socialist bill will probably pass rtin fterma.n reichstasr. 1'nnce liismarlc having consented to a modification of some of its most objectionable features. The Acklen scandal in New Orleans bids fair to be a much more- serious mat- tho vonnsr trentleman than the Washington affair, if reports be true. "These Mongolians is improvin as the Gold Hill miner thoughtfully remarked the other day, when a Chinaman quietly blew a hole through a white loafer who had spit in his face. The soi-disant Mrs.

Lillian Stoddard, wi.ness in the Vanderbilt case, turns out to be not a nice sort of a person. She isn't Mrs. Stoddard at all; that is to say her claim to that designation is not con firmed by legal ordinance. Official Austrain dispatches announce the complete subjugation of all Bosnia and Herzegovina. A large Austrian force will have to be maintained in those provinces for some time, however, and the grievance of the Hungarians will still exist.

The cabinet concurs in the opinion of the attorney-general that the money for work on the jetties should be paid to Lapt, Eads, and not to his assignees, 'as it was the intention of Congress in advancing the. monev to enable Mr. Eads to go on with the work," It has cost Austria just four thousand men to secure its slice of territory from the Turkish wreck, but the pecuniary ex pense has not yet been footed up; nor can it be for some time yet, as the ex penditures will go on for a long while without any great return coming in to on set them. Tt is a Ions distance from Dakota to the plague-stricken regions of the South, and yet it will be pleasant for those who must wait and watch Memphis and New Orleans to know that the ground has been frozen at Fa-go, and that cooler weather will not much lonarer be de v- According to recent reports, there is now great enthusiasm in educational matters in Japan. There are 24,000 common schools in the empire, with an average attendance of 2,000,000.

There are 216 high schools, with an average attendance of 12,000, and ninety normal schools, with an attendance of 8,000. About this time of year it is the correct thing to report signs of a hard winter, The flight of the wild geese, the size of the 'possum's fat, the bee stores of honey, the depth of the musk-rat's holes, and a good many other signs and portents which it is not needful to mention, are always observed in October. "I like your paper very much. I have read the advertisements with a great deal of interest. These words of the immortal Thomas Jefferson addressed to a relative in the newspaper business should be en graven on the minds of every reader of our paper.

There is "heaps of mighty good reading matter" in the advertisements. The negroes of the West Indian island of Santa Cruz have revolted, and are murdering, burning, and pillaging with characteristic ferocity. The scenes of Santo Domingo are evidently being repeated on a smaller scale. As American, English, and French men-of-war have been ordered to the island, the bloodshed is likely to cease before long. A Nokth Carolina editor declares that the man who will read a newspaper three or four years without paying for it "will pasture a goat on the grave of his grandfather." An Editor who will deliberately send his paper to a subscriber four years consecutively without pay ought to be obliged to send it gratis during his natural life time.

The Buffalo papers expose a swindling scheme which originated in that city. Advertisements in certain papers informed the public that men wanted for detective service by the International Secret Service Bureau, and that they would be liberally paid. Persons writing for information, received a circular giving plans of organization, and stating that, on the receipt of $3, the applicant would be appointed a member of the secret service. It is reported that in four-fifths of the Congressional Districts in the i United States there are not less than three candidates in the field, while in very many Districts there are four or five candidates. In many cases it is doubtful whether some candidates will receive a hundred votes, but they are rushing around just as actively as if the prospect of an election was encouraging.

The parties represented by the candidates are Republican, Democratic, Nsttional, Socialistic and Prohibition, with a sprinklinar of Independents. IeNMlMH, From the Nore stown Herald. Some one alleges to have discovered that the reason Barbara Freitchie didn't wave a flag at Fredericktown was because there was no Barbara Freitchie to wave it. Ten years hence some one will declare that there was no Southern Rebellion; that Jeff Davis was Heeekiah Longbot-tom, and lived in Berks County in a cave during the alleged war.

Sherman has finished his extended western trip and returned to Washington CONSUL. The President has recognizrd John J.

Lynde, Wright of Kansas City, for the following reliable review of the grain trade: Wmw A continued liberal movement from interior points during the past week has depressed values, and quotations show a decline of 56o per bus. in spring wheat, and 1)4 in winter wheat Advices are favorable for the present large movement being carried into November, farmers being desirous of marketing as much as possible while the roads are in good condition. Foreign markets are beginning to feel the effects of enormously large mports and generous -nome ueuciu, and ruling very quiet with concessions in buyers' favor. English and French country markets are generally cheaper. Our exports for the week ending the 3d inst.

were i so a decline from previous week of 620,000 bus. "Stocks in sight" are without any material change from last report, and are of equal amount with those of a year ago. Spring wheat crop inferior in quality, two-thirds of which will inspect below No. 2 grade. For eign orders in our markets, extremely uimiwm.

After the first week of next month we may look for the close of lake navigation and higher rates to the seaboard with an advance in ocean tonnage. Only such stormy weather as prevaiieu uui- ing this month last year, preventing tree de liveries, would seem to cnecu nuy iiiimci cline. To aid all these innuences tne general depression in the various industries throughout Europe, and the late failure of the City of lilasgow anK witn itb uiuuwuud have greatly contributed. Corn The movement in corn the past week has been without any material change from the week previous; stocks show no increase. Exports were nearly the same and prices have settled at a decline of about lc a bushel lower.

Dry weather continues favoring the early maturing of the new crop for the market, and the latter part of this month should favorable weather ensue we expect to note the commencement of a free movement to market The quality is exceptionally good, and condition never was better. Eye Values of this cereal have declined le a bushel in sympathy with the general decline in all grains. Oats Liberal receipts and light exports have increased "stocks in sight" 130,000 bus. for the week. Prices have been reduced a bushel, and a dull feeling prevails throughout QUOTATIONS.

Suit has been commenced in the United States Circuit Court by Long Ah Kit, Gou Lin, Chong Long Ling, and Faag Wit against Sheriff Nunan, to recover $10,000 damages alleged to have been sustained by them in the loss of their queues, which were cut off while they were incarcerated in the County Jail. The papers are being prepared the contemplated suits of 15 other Mongols who are about to bring actions against Mr. Nunan also. Ho Ah Kow, Ah Kong, Lee Ah Quong. and Jo Ah Jim have actions pending in the same court against the Sheriff for the loss of their sacred capillary appendages, commenced some two months ago.

In the case of Ho Ah Kow, M. Hassett, council for Mr. Nunan, filed a demurrer to the complaint, in which the ground was taken that the Sheriff had the authority by virtue of bis office as jail-keeper, and as a sanitary measure, to the hair of all prisoners, whatever thes color to a reasonable length, irrespective of any authority given him by any ordinance. Judge Sawyer overruled the demurrer, and said that the position of iail-keeper did not give the Sheriff the authority to act in the premises. The defendant then filed an answer to the complaint setting up that he had his authority through and under the Queue ordinance.

To this the plaintiffs demurred on the ground that it did not constitute a defense. The arguments on this demurrer will be heard on the first Monday in October. The filing of these suits against Sheriff Nunan puts him to considerable expense, as on every suit that is filed in the United States Courts a fee of $10 is required, which must be paid beiore any papers are drawn. Up to yesterday the queues of all Chinese prisoners, except such as are incarcerated for violating the pure-air law, have been cut oft. 1 his distinction is made because it is on this particular misdemeanor that the Chinese who have the suits pending were arrested, and the cutting was left in abeyance, until a decision was arrived at.

The knowledge of this fact is one of the reasons that the cubic-air violators prefer to go to ail, where they know their precious queues are safe, rather than pay a fine. To stop all queue-cutting within the jail, an injunction was granted by Judge Wheeler yesterday, enjoining the Sheriff from the continuance of this, in Mongolian eyes, profanation. Next Friday has been set to hear the arguments on the injunction. A Fish Story Flmtehei. From the Cincinnati Saturday Night The Whitehall "Times" didn't half finish that story about the trout in a gentleman's trout pond, saving the life of a little girl who was accustomed tp- feed them, and who a accidentally fjwen into the pom by themselftes into a solid bod supporting her in the water.

We ave later advices about it. The trout i only raised her to the sur face, but they floated ner asnore, aitei which they took her on their shoulders and carried her up to the house, over halt a mile, across lots, being compelled to take down several fences in order to do it. When the father of the little girl came to the door in answer to the bell (rung by the trout), he discovered a lot ot the trout rolling the child on an old salt barrel to get the water out of her. hen she was finally resuscitated the trout united in giving three cheers, and declining to step into the house and take tW they trotted back to the pond.

DRAWING TO A CLOSE. A disDatch announcing the insurrection in Santa Cruz as drawing to an end, says the French and English men of war are protecting the towns, while the Danish soldiers and loyal volunteers are scouring the country.

Occasionally conflagrations are occurring, but tne majority or me nowi themselves by flight. Many of the leaders are in custody. Seventy sugar estates are reported burned, and the report that half of Freder-ickstadt is in ashes is confirmed. TREATY IGNORED. A telearam from Constantinople says the Russian commissioner for Boumelia made a statement that the Eussian authorities will administer that province in accordance with the treaty of San bterano, ana not wim of Berlin.

Other commissioners consequently asked their governments for instructions. WAR CERTAIN.

The Chicago Times -prints a long list of names of persons murdered by the fiendish Cheyenne raiders on Sappa creek. A dispatch received at Omaha from Major Thornburgh says the Indians have scattered.
