q RoBRERY, BRUTAL ASSAULT AND
DEATH.-,Ehe Yolo Weekly Matt Of No
Rember 9th gives these particulars Of
q gross outrage
On Tuesday night Of last week two
young men, named Joe Buley and
Jim Rogers, made q brutal assault
upon and robbed an old man named
Thomas Peacock, at or near q camp
on the levee works, just above the line
of Yolo county, In Colusa. Tbe facts,
as we learned from an examination OF
Buley before Justice Peterson, are
those: The, men mot men) Buley and
Rogers first stole a bottle Of whisky
from q boy and got drunk; then they
attacked old man Peacock, and after
beating him shamefully, robbed him
of five dollars. Tho old man made
his way to n camp and laid himself
down by the fire. In the morning he
was found, and pointed out n Of the
parties. A good-hearted Irishman
took him to task and administered q
chastiserpent. Buley then left camp.
Soon after the foreman and another
man started after him. He was seen
In company with Rogers, and both
began to run. Buley was found hid
Ing In d thicket, but Rogers was not
caught. Buley vas brought here for
examination. He admitted the rob-
berry, but said Rogers did It, beating
and robbing the old man, he standing
by. The offense having been COM
mitted In Colusa county, Buley was
sent there by Squire Peterson. Old
man Peacock presented q most revolt
ing appearance, his face being terribly
bruised ; his body, We are Informed,
was beaten from his hips upward. He
went to Knights Landing, and died
Saturday night. The doctors, upon a
post mortem examination, formed the
opinion that the immediate cause OF
his death was congestion Of tho lungs.
but that his malady was s~uperinduced
by the beating no had received and by
excessive drinking and neglect. The
old man was weak, physically, and
both the young Villains strong. Rog-
ers has not yet been caught. ~ ,a.

NEW York, Nov. 10.-Rumors are
current that Tweed is ~meditatlng
flight. The Bureau Municipal corpor-
ton, composed Of -o'conor and his
associates, in prosecuting the city plum
derers, have information to this effect,
In view of having transferred so much
Of his property. There Is overwhelming
evidence against him. 1t Is contem-
plated on the part Of the Attorney
General to ask an increase Of ball. As
yet no answer Is put In In Tweed's
case, and no notice Of appearance re-
ceiyed. Yesterday a dsputation OF
workingmen, who waited on Tweed
concerning, their pay, were treated
with much obsequiousness, Tweed pro-
missing that the pay rolls should be
made out forthwith.
The Tribune, commenting on the
subject Of Tweed's flight says: "Let
him escape now, and we would lose
the fruits Of the late victory. His
punishment at hard labor in the State
Prison for life Is demanded by every
consideration Of public and political
morality"
From statements Of Mayor Hall and
several Aldermen to newspaper re-
porters, 1t appears that the old Board
of Aldermen Is determined to contest
the newly elected Board, and that the
Mayor Will stand by the present Board
This dispute, however, should 1t arise,
will be settled on the meeting of the
Legislature, when q thorough reorgan'
ization Of municipal affairs will be
made.a Bills are TO DO prepared BY
the Committee of Seventy abolishing all
offices now held by Tammany or cor
rupt men in New York and Brooklyn,
from and including the judiciary down
to the police. Nothing short Of a clean
sweep will be satisfactory.

Tho Wiscsnsin .Hsrrsr-Thirty.twe
Persons Drowned In . Well. rf.'

An eyewitness of the recent devas-
tatlnr fires near Ulontown, Wisconsin,
relates an incident, occurring during
the confagratlon, which Is absolutely
UNPARALLELED In tho history Of all sim
liar horrors. He writes:
The most horrible of all was at
Boorman's well. Mr.. Boorman's house
was the largest In the village. and In
the centre Of the yard, midway between
the house and barn, was a large but
shallow we'll. Several Of the neigh
bors were supplied with water from
this fountain, and 1t Is likely that In
the conflagration, when all hope was
cut of; the neighborhood, insane with
terror, thronged with one purpose to
this we'll. The ordinary chain and
wheel pump used In that place had
been removed, and the wretched peo-
pie had leaped into the well as the last
refuge. Boards had been thrown down
TO prevent them being drowned, but
evidently the relentless fury OF the hre
drove them pell-mell into the pit, to
struggle with each other and die, some
by drowning and others by fire and
s~uffocation. None escaped. Thirty
two bodies were found there; they
were In every imaginable position,
but the contortlons OF their limbs and
the agonized expressions Of their faces
told the awful tale.
All the houses along the roads down
to Surgeon Bay we're reduced to ashes,
and In them, or near by, were the
blackened corpses Of the Inflated resi-
dents. Twelve only are as yet known
to have escaped. These ran to the
lake and plunged to their necks In the
water. .ssEsN SO ,,s-. - Z sNl'N 'Ai

ore was reported a short time ago to

of the ore were sent East and to Eng

This decision did not satisfy the dis

From the San FrtncScs Alta Of Yesterday.]
On Sunday evening last an ARRAY oc-
Cured In the Blue Wing saloon, In
Petaluma, which resulted yesterday in
the death Of the party injured. Last
evening an alta reporter visited Flora
Meyers in her cell at the City Prison,
and from the story related by her II
appears that she was at the bottom OF
the difficulty. She says that for the
last three months q hackman named
Levy has been stuck after her and try
Ing to be her lover. Levy, In his efforts
to gain her affections, said that Benja-
min Edwards, her lover, was not an
Israelite, and as she was a Jewess she
ought to discard him. This not having
the desired effect, Levy ct every OPP
portunity that offered Itself, spoke In
the most harsh and disrespectful terms
of Edwards. On several occasions,
Flora says, Levy applied epithsts to-
ward her, but she made him take them
back. She also told her lover the re-
marks Levy made about him, when
Edwards replied he o get even by
Safeguarding Levy when he met him.
She frequently rode In Levy's hack,
and several times lie refused the pay
offered him, but she always insisted on
his taking It, 90 as not to be under any
obligations to him.
Last Sunday morning she met Levy,
when he again spoke In very severe
terms Of Edwards and bis family, using
the most foul language. When she re-
turned 10 her room she told Edwards
Of 1t. During the evening the door
bell was rung. Flora says she re-
marked to Edwards, "If that Is Levy
Ii will face him and repeat what he said
about your The door was opened, II
was not Levy, and Edwards started
of, saying he would be back shortly,
He started for the Blue Wing saloon,
several hundred yards from the house,
where he met Levy. Flora says Ber
first intended to slap Levy in the face,
but losing his temper, drew his Six
shooter and struck him on the head, in
ficting serious injuries, from the ffectl
Of which he died yesterday. Edwards
was Immediately arrested and put II
irons. On Wednesday she. came tc
this city for the purpose Of hiring 8

says she sent word to Marshal Knowles
to that effect, and that she Intended K
