THE ERIE WAR.
jay could Perplexed.


ROCHESTER. n. Y, Nov. Il-Jay Gould
arrived here from Avon this evening, and
received an important and lengthy commu-
nicstiop by telegraph from Lane, the at
torney for the Erie Railroad He was adj
vised that his lieutenant, Fisk, DR., was in
communication with McHenry, and unless
he silenced him mischief would be done.
After that Gould's countensnee was not Sc
rene. He is evidently in great perplexity.
He left in the fist train for Elmira.
The seat Of War Changed.
CLEVELAND. Nov. 1.-The war between
the Erie and Atlantic and Great Western
roads has been transferred 20 other points.
Gould, after falling in negotiations with
McHenry, left for the East via Akron, and
McHenry quietly departed for Akron, with
the intention Of commencing legal pro-
ceedings in the Summit County Court.
Just what these are few days will devel-
OBJ. Meanwhile f. A. Lane, Goulds at
torney, has appeared unusually nervous
and excited, and on learning to-day that
James Fisk, Jr., and McHenry were in
secret correspondence, he was heard to use
strong language about Fisk, and finally
took tie evening train for Akron.
Inc SltuAtAOh az aAEOns
AKRoN, o., Nov 11.-Mr. McHenry has
been here a day or two consulting with
lawyers about the Atlantic and Great West
ern Railroad. To-day he was in cores
pondenee by telegraph, via Salamanca, with
Jim Fisk, of the Erie road, with whom he
seems to be on good terms 1t is rumored
that important aid may be rendered Eng
lish stockholders by him. In the proposed
suit against the Erie managers he has de-
serted Gould for AlcHenTy.
BewIIdering Maneuvres.
Further interest is excited this evening
by the arrival of Lane, Gould's attorney,
who will try to out-maneuvre McHenry be-
fore the court 1t is said that the defence
will attempt to show that the Atlantic and
Great Western Railroad is in possession of
Gould, who is Receiver by appointment of
the court at Akron a few months ago, in
case of suits against the road, which suits
are still pending. The opinion here is that
Gould is in tight place, and that the At
lantic and Great Western road will be re-
stored to control of McHenry for the bene-
fit of the stockholders, at the court holding

NEW YORK, Nov. II, p. M-The EgeR-
ing Post says the question whether Deputy
Collector Blatchford is connected with the
immense drawback frauds recently brought
to light in the New York Customhouse has
been definitely settled by the investigation
of papers made at the Customhouse this
afternoon by Collector Gnnnell and Dis
trict Attorney Pierpont The investiga-
ton demonstrated, beyond doubt, that an
immense quantity of goods have been re-
moved from bond upon fraudulent
papers, and that the government has
been defrauded, and Of not less than
$500, 900 and the aggregate amount
may reach $1,000, 600. How Deputy
Blatchford is concerned the gov
eminent officials do not at present feel
justified in making public. The frauds
committed against the government in
the drawback department Of the custom
house were consummnted in some cases by
fraudulent papers, and in other cases by
changing the amounts on which drawbacks
was due. The frauds were conducted in
the boldest possible manner, audit is there

obtained TO the amount of $500 to $500

these claims were collected had been
signed by Mr.. Blatchford formerly IN
charge of the drawback bureau, and more
recently in charge of the public stores. II

THE LAKES.
The wreck OF the NaOEnt-Sevsral
Lives Lost.


CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE following are
the details of the loss of the bark Naomi,
on the fth inst, near Manistee, Michigan.
The vessel struck bottom during gale,
and the water soon rushed in, driving all
on board to the roof of the cabin, where
they were exposed to the fury of the wind
and waves. Capt. Carpenter dashed him
self and wife to the mast. A sailor, at the
Captains request, set out to swim ashore,
but his strength gave out and he was
drowned. The boats having been washed
away, no means of escape seemed attainable.
On the next day, however, Capt. Gallo
way. of the schooner Toledo, with num-
Der of volunteers, took boat, and put
out from Manistee to the wreck, though
with great peril to themselves, the boat
sometimes filling. Reaching the bark,
they found the captains wife dead, from
exposure, and the captain scarcely alive.
After two or three trips, they succeeded in
rescuing the rest of the crew, seven in
number; but the captain died before they
could get him off, and two bodies were left
on the wreck, which soon went to pieces.
The rescued men were nearly dead from
cold. but were finally revived.

signs of Prosperity.


New YORK, Nov. ia letter from

much less than the planters expected and
prices much smaller than they hoped, yet
the country is generally prosperous.

During the past week large proportion
of the notes of planters in this part of this

due, and not one has been protested
Every one was paid in full at their ma
turity.
The Labor Question Settling Itself.
The laborers are all contented, and not
withstanding the recent labor convention,
are contracting largely to work another
year with the same employers. The labor
ers who made these engagements were well
and fairly treated, and literally compen-
stated.
Peace and Order.
The country is perfectly tranquil There
are remarkably few cases Of crime, and
none of an aggravated character. Politics
are neither spoken or thought of.

the next crop are the all-engrossing sub
