Particulars of the surrender.I

The London Daily NeiOs OF the 2Sth publishes a
long telegram from correspondent who has visited
T0ul since its surrender, from which we take the
followDg:-The firing continued all Friday with
active but very Ineffective reply from the garrison.
In the evening, the town being on fire in twenty
three places the pressure OF the inhabitants upon
the Commandment induced him to hoist white hags
and offer to capituate. The offer was immedi-
ateIy accepted by Colonel Manteunel, COM
manding the siege corps, and the town was en-
tered the same evening by the victors att. The
Conditions were precisely those OF Sedan. coun-
ell OF the municipality, held on Friday decided not
to favor surrender but the pressure OF individuals
fearing useless destruction completely overwhelmed
the belligerent determination OF the military and
civil authorities The garrison was ridiculously
weak-6O cuirassiers, 100 line, 4O,gendarmes, land
1000 raw Mobiles; among them not one regular
artillerist; Commandant, Major Huck, an old cav
alryman. i went TO Toul Oh the nrst
inspectors train that approached the
town after the surrender Many: houses
are destroyed. The condition OF things
is worse than Sedan, not as bad as Bazeilles. The
Gothic chapel OF ST. Gengoulph, A. d. s14 Is almost
ruined. The very imposing Byzantine Cathedral OF
St. Mansuy, built early as zee, has only window
arch demolished, and its outside battered by score
of shells. There are few wounded, no sick, and

INDIANA.
A Republican Triumph.

Special Despatch to the Eoening Telegraph.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-The President re-
ceived a despatch from Senator Morton to-day,
stating that the State of Indiana was carried
yesterday by the Republicans by a small ma
jority. The State is SO districted that the De-
mocrats might carry it by from five to ten thou
sand majority, and still the Legislature would
be Republican.
This districting was done during the war to
prevent the State from falling into the hands of
a Democratic Legislature. The result in Indiana
decides the question of Gov Mortons going TO
England. He is expected here the first of next
week to confer with the President and to re-
ceive his instructions.

The active condition of the stock market has
for nearly week past created an improved de-
mand for money, but the loans thus called for
have been generally met at the banks, owing to
the popularity in which stock loans are re-
garded. 519@616 per cent. is the range, as
usual, the lower figure ruling on Government
collaterals. Commercial paper sells freely when
considered of first-class grade but inferior names
are received with caution. 7@10 per cent is
the range.
Gold opened at 11S11l, fell to 1875, and closed
at 1887.
Government bonds are in good request and
generally stronger.

at a further advance in prices. City 6s, new.

Several Of them, holding high rank, were naturally

PEKIL0Us FEaTs OF AN INSANE
WOMAN.

Her Dangerous A1id-Air Walk.
We copy this dispatch from Jacksonville,
Illinois:
JACKSONVILLE. H., April 14.-An insane
woman il some way escaped from the apart
ments of the Insane Asylum in which she
had been confined. rushed up the stairway,
leaped upon the roof, and dashed away to
the end of the bulldog, swung herself over
the edge of the roof, and dropped to cor.
nice some six or eight feet below. Upon
this, q foot wide, and some seventy tive feet
above the ground, the wild maniac walked
back and forth for a quarter OF an hour.
The men rushed up to the roof and passed a
rope to her, and tried to persuade
her to fasten il about her body,
but in vain. Beds were brought and
placed below SO as TO break the fall if she
Should leap from her perilous position.
After remaining on the cornice for fifteen
minutes, seemingly unconscious OF all
danger, she swung off, and holding by the
crevice until her feet touched cap OF the
fifth story window, when she let go OF the
cornice, and, wonderful to relate. alighted
erect and steady upon the cap, which was
but foot wide and four feet long. There,
at that fearful and dizzy height, she stood
gazing about for fifteen minutes, then she
seized firmly the rope lowered to her and
leaDed into the air. The strong arms above
her gradually lowered her, and when she
was about thirty feet from the ground. she
relaxed her hold and fell upon the beds
below, and although stunned was taken up
uniDjured.
