The Grave of Rradd doel..

Among the many things which time has
brought TO light is the answer to the ott-re-
peated query, "Who killed Braddock Z" During
that memorable retreat of the British and
Provincial troops, Braddock ordered that his
men should not protect themselves behind
trees. One Joseph Fausett presumed to dsooey
this order, when Braddock, in passion, struck
hum down with his sword. Thomas Fausett,
who was but a short distance from his brother,
saw the whole transaction and Immediately
shot the General through the lungs. The Hon.
A. Stewart, OF UniOntoWn, Pennsylvania, says
his father often heard FausCtt acknowledge this.
After Braddock fell his body was carried by
the troops for four days, when he expired. He
was inferred in the MIDDLE of the road, so that
all of the soldiers, wagons, and horses might
pass over and obliterate all vestges of his
grave from the eyes OF the saVages. About
tWenty-nine years ago some laborers who were
repairing the road came upon the remains, and
after taking number OF the most prominent
bones, Ieinterred the others. Some time after
wards the scattered bones were collected and
sent TO Peale's Museum, which was in Philadel-
pbia at that time. Braddock's grave is in
Pay ette county, this State, and is marked by a
plain shinele nailed to a tree, where part OF the
bones are inferred. This is the only monument
which serves to point out TO the traveller the
last resting place Of the proud and brave but
unfortunate victim Of Indian warfare,

CURIOUS TURKISH SUPERSTITION. The
Musselmen, besides believing in the rosur-
TectiOn of the body, also think that this body
must have free and separate chance to leave
It's earthly tomb at the summons OF the Arch

position OF other bodies. A curious phase of
thls superstition has recently occurred in Con-
stantnople. noble lady-the widow of a
great dignitary-died in that city in the Chris
tian faith, which she had always protested.
Loving her husband, she asked to be buried
by his side, and he had been buried in the
holy ground of EyOob, near the shrine of tbe
saint and martyr, companion Of the nronbet
Ryoob. Accordingly she was so buried with
much pomp as became her rank. When ber
husbands relatives heard of it thew wera
much scandalized at an inGdel being buried in
holy ground alongside their graves, and de-
manded that the body should be taken up and
buried elsewhere. Here, however, the Turkish
superstition about interference with the bodily
resurrection by the orowding OF mortal
remains upon each other was craitily taken
advantage of by the authorities, who asked
the kinsmen if the body of the Giaour woman
was buried in one of their graves, and on
getting a negative answer, told them she could
do no harm by lying alongside of them, as II
would not impede the resurrection OF thelT
dead, and they got nothing by their notion

There are several theories as to the manner in
which these CONS happened to be where they
were found. M. Fourner argues from the fact
that the last Emperor found on them is Severus,
that they were hid during his reign; robably by
some one implicated in The lnsurrectionary at,
tempt of Alblnus, just on the eve of fight. NJ.
Failure, on the other hand thinks the money
hoard. These coins being much heavier than
those of later period, were vigorously de-
manded In payment by the tax.gatherers, who
stopped the abuse.
The collection has been placed for safe keep.

ESPECIAL DISPATCHES TO EVENING TBLEGRAPH'I
WASHINGTON, Nov. IL.
The Democrats and General Grant,
The Democrats and conservatives here are
gcheming to draw from General Grant some de-
claration as to his political principles and are
even more anxious on this subject than the
Chase Republicans. Leading conservatives
assert that if Grant does not define his position
within ten days, they will nominate General
Sherman as the conservative candidate for
President, and thus place Grant In the posi-
ton OF running against Sherman.
The chief obstacle in the way OF the success OF
this arrangement is, that it is not certain that
Sherman will consent to have his name paraded
under the circumstances as a candidate, and
NAV repudiate it, He is expected here in day
or two and the wre.pulling conservatives are
determined to trot him out as a candidate, or
compel him to state whether he will run or not.
The Presidential serenRde.
The serenaders to the President, tomorrow
evening, intend having artillery in the process
sion. which will be fired at intervals along the
route. General Grant has loaned them a mum.
Der of flags belonging to the War Department,
and altogether they intend making prodigious
sensation. There will be sixteen one-legged
soldiers in the procession in carriages. The
President says he intends making only short
speech, but this promise does not amount to
much, as every one knows that when once he
gets started on a stump speech he never knows
when to stop.

A Sensation.
Considerable talk has been occasioned to-day
by the report published in New York evening
paper of yesterday, of an alleged defalcation on
the part of az officer of high position in the
Senate. What truth there may be in it is
unknown, but the conservative elements are in
ecstasies over it, and the White House politi-
clans are rolling it over their tongues as pre-
cious morsel.
The End of the PrIze-FIght.

and desired said Parker to lOcate the same upon
100 acres of land, adjoining the land upon which
said Arrison stated he was then living, and
that Parker replied to him, the said Arrison, that
the said Land Warrant was valueless, as it was
not properly transferred. That in the eoVersa. /.
tion aforesaid Arrison further stated to this af.

Parker, would loan him, Arrison, the money to
enter said land, and that Parker replied he
would not loan him, Arrison, the money, but
agreed with said Arrison to enter the land in
his, Parker's own name, so as to secure himself
(Parker) until he, Arrison, could pay Parker,

IDAHO CITY AGAIN IN ASHES i
NEARLY TIE WHOLE CITY BURNED

Inst after noon yesterday, flames were seen
issuing from the roof of John COdy's saloon,
south.west corner Main and Wall streets. The
alarm was given instantly. At the time It was
sounded in our office, we had just completed an
article in which we referred to the fact that this
would be the second anniversary of the great FIRE
of May 10, 1865, which laid this city in ashes,
aad recommending to our citizens generally a
greater degree of watchfulness during the day
and night, to guard against repetition of the
calamity. The ink was net dry upon the paper
when the alarm of ''fre" reached our Office
Despite the exertions of hundreds of brave and
vigorous workers, who rushed and labored to
queuch the FIRE, it spread on all sides, aud by 3
o'clock P NJ, the terrible consequences could be
summed up in a general way-imperfect, to be
sure, because of the brief time we have had to
gather particulars in-as follows
Every building on both sides of Main street,
from just below the Jenny Lind Theatre to the
saw mill of Taylor b Andrews, on Moore's creek /;
all the buildings between Main and along the
east side of Montgomery street, and most of those
on the east of Main, on High street, embracing
the Catholic Church, the many dwellings upon
the bill below the west side of East Hill front
all save few really fire proof bricks and cellars,
are in ashes. Among the buildings saved we
now enumerate the following: The Court House,
Masonic Hail. lin which is the World office, J the
stores of ]. W. Wood Co., c. j. Bernsteil,
Andrews Hill, M. NJ. Chipman, the upper
brick vaults of L. NJ. COIN, and Fischer & May
denbauer, and the cellars of Thos. Barry, G. S.
Kingsley, G. T. Blake & Co., Powell & Coe,
Baird Judge, Zapp & Langell, aud vantine &
Co. McClintock & Stewards stable, all the bull
diugs on the west side of Montgomery street, and
the residences of Sheriff Jas. J. Crutcher, J. H.
Wickersham, F. W. Bell, George Ainslie, F. B.
Britten, and Jas. O'Meara, on the front of East
Hill, and the residences of P. B. Smith and a few
others whose names we cannot now learn at the
foot of East Hill en- High street.
These latter were saved through the labors of
Mr.. Smith, who brought his hydraulic mining
hose to bear on them quickly, and the superhu-
man labors of his gang of men, who at once
rushed from their work to stay the progress of
the flames.
The flames spread with frightful velocity,
owing to the high wind that prevailed, and, by
singular misfortune, it was the nearest approx>
imation to gale we have had here duriug the
month. The fire, which commenced between
twelve and one O'Clock, had by three o'clock
laid nearly the whole city in ashes, and swept
into nothingness hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of property. We rejoice to be able
to say that there has been no loss of life We
append a list of the losses as well as we could
obtain them, just after the Gre, as follows:
