More About the Suicide of Preston

d
" rom fhe \. 7. Tribune, NovaI6.l
Strenuous efforts were made Yesterday
by the friends Of the unfortunate man tn
CLEAN further information of hfg sad and
untlmely end, and at this they were sue
cesstul to certain extent. As the par
tlculars of the tragedy were printed in full
ln IN tne morning papers, they were neces-
sarlly read by many persons, among others
by the very party who was cognizant Of
the fact that man had leaped overheard
from the Hoboken ferry-boat before it had
been made public. The person in question
IS gentleman doing business in Sixth ave
nue., and the father of the children who
witnessed Mr.. King thow himself into the
river. His name is Charles H. Macy.
Although aware that a man had been
drowned in the river, he had not the Slight
est mistrust who that person was or his
station, until yesterday morning. Imme-
diately after seeing an account of the af-
fair in print, he called at the Custom
House, and there saw Mr. Terwilli9er and
other gentlemen TO whom he related all
that his children knew of the drowning.
His version of the affair is that they fthe /
children( were particularly struck with the
appearance of Mr.. King when he first
came on the boat, and that they spoke of
him as "the funny looking man" The
boat had hardly got beyond the dock when
they noticed him quietly take off his hat
and place it on deck, then blew his nose,
and walk toward the edge Of the vessel. !
II 'a'a4'sstoned the chain and nassed by il |
it, and Immediately after, cast |
himself into the river, feet down ward No /
1ne else being on the aft deck with Mr.. |
King, except the children, they were the
onl y witnesses of his act, and when it had
aiken place, both Of them gave the infor-
nation to the other passengers. The boat
vas quickly stopped, but no trace of the
,ody could be found.

OIL NEWS.

A correspondent of the Erie Dispatch
speaking of the stoppage of the United
States well, says that as no other well in
terferes, it is thought the seed-bag has
burst. This is not an uncommon occur
renee with wells on Oil Creek, therefore
hopes are entertained of its starting with
out much difficulty; that it still gasses
strong is our reason to believe it not dead
A correspondent of the Erie Dispatch
says that well has been struck on Allen
der run which empties into the Allegheny
River and adioins West Hickory. It is
and flowing one constant stream,
and is estimated as a fifty barrel well. 1t
is heavy lubrieating oil. This territory is f.
the finest looking in the, oil regions and
bids fair to equal any in this section. r 81
The "Runcie well F, struck on the Bene-
hotf Run last week is reported to be yield
ing two hundred barrels of oil daily.

The Titusville (Pa.) Herald of last Sat
urday tells the following good story:
Hamlet tells us:
" That guilty creatures, sitting at play,
Have, by the very cunning Of the scene,
Been struck SO to the soul, that presently
They have proclaimed their maIsfactions
Here is a case in point:
We have felt somewhat reluctant to
present any additional narrative of "hair-
breadth 'seapes" of belated travellers in
the jungles of the Oildorado but the fol-
lUwiul; irrviylorIt 10 v0uCIied for upon such
good authority that we have no hesitation
in laying it before our readers.
On Tuesday last the Rev. Mr.. -, of
the Baltimore conference, was riding on
horseback from Pithole to Titusville. He
had nearly reached Pleasantville, and was
trotting quietly along humming a psalm
tune, when man stepped into his path,
and seizing his horses bride, presented
revolver at the parson and demanded his
money.
Nothing disconcerted, rne traveller calm
ly remarked that he was only a Door
Methodist preacher, and had but little
money, but would give up all he had.
The ro6ber made no reply, but main
tanned his threatening position and pa

The dominic eyed the freebooter pretty
earnestly, and remarked with great solem-
nifty, d" You can have my money, friend.
but for Christs sake, and for your own
SOULS sake, give up the business of high
way robbery
The freebooter dropped his pistol by his
side, and in voice trembling with deep
emotion, exclaimed, You can pass on T.
The reader may discredit this story, but
| it is true notwithstanding. The ministe-
rial hero arrived safely in Titusville, and
related his story to the Rev. J. II. Stubbs.
who repeated it at the prayer and confer
ence meeting in his own church on Thurs
day evening.
We have only to add, for the benefit of
the travelling public, that in future, when
passing through the INFECTED district .
they are advised to take a copy of Watts
Hymns in their saddle-bags, and when
ever they meet highwayman, to emulate
the example of the worthy brother above
quoted.

The InsurrectIon i'm Algeria.

EXAGGERATED REPOETs-THE TRUE FACTS
From the Paris Monheur.J
Reports, of evident c7<aggeratlon, have
for some days past been accredited by GER
tain Journals, which represent Algeria as
surprised by the sudden appearance of
Si-Lala, Si-Lamed ben-Hamza, and Sidi-
Mohanmed- Monley Kerzas at the head of
$4,000 men. To believe them the insur-
rectiOn would include the whole south of
the province of Oran, an extent of eighty
leagues, and it is said that the Marshal
Governor General has sent one of his
aides-de-camp to the Emperor for rein
forcements. Such rumors have too direct
and well-known an influence upon public
opinion as not seriously to implicate those
who are heprOpagators. Without enter
ing into the facts alleged, we restrict our
selves to borrow from the most recent dis
patches from the Governor of Algeria the
details which will place the truth in its
full light " 1t was on the 18th of Octo-
Der that the report of an incursiOn of ST.
Lala, ten leagues south of Sebdon, reached
the Marshal Governor General. Rrecau-
tionary measures were Immediately taken
to cover the Tell on that side; the outlets
were occupied, and the various columns
proved to Si-Lala that we were quite ready
10 meet uIII1s zrCCUruTIIEs % -TIfrUrITI 5u1eFz-
received from the Caid of the Angades.
Si-lala was on the 10th at Titenaya, at the
mouth of the Mekera, with two thousand
horsemen and one thousand four hundred
infantry, many mounted on camels. Gen
eral Lacroteetelle left Sid-All-ben Youb
on the 2lst ut dusk, endeavoring to sur
prise them, but failed in the attempt In
the evening of the 22d Si-Lalaplacid had
hisheadquarters at Am Tagouria, southwest
of Saida; he captured by goun some
herds of the diaffras, remaining on the
heights, despite given orders. The DAFT
ras, supported by the column of Colonel
Peehot from Taida, recaptured the herds
after a smart skirmish, and gave the enc
my a lesson which has ploduced most ex-
cellent effect upon the population. No
further news had been received until Gen
eral Deligny announced his retreat as
positive. The Marshal Governor Gen
eral, in announcing this fact on the 2sth
of October to the Minister of War, adds
that Colonel Colomb, with the goums of
the Djafras and of the Hassasenas. and
one thousand horses of the Harar, started
in pursuit. Of him on the 27th 1t will be
seen by the above details that the news
given by certain journals is founded upon
erroneous information. To resume-if
Si-Lala has imade an appearance in the
south, at the first signal our troops united
in the posts of the Tell, have protected
the subjected tribes, and the enemy will
be pursued in his retreat as far as the sea-
son Will allow it.
