Sr. LOUIS, July 2S.-About II O'Clock
last night, as Mr.. MunSon Beach, q we'll
known citizen, was sitting on the steps
of bis boarding house, No. 706 Pine St,
ne was shot twice, and it is feared, NOR
tally wounded, by Joseph II. Fore, for
merry of Shclbyvllle, Ky. About three years
sgo Fore was wealthy and married a SIS
ter OF Beach's wife, but subsequently be-
came very much dIssipaed and treated
his wife in brutal manner. Some ten
days ago Mrs. Fore applied for divorce,
and has since been living in Beach's fam
lily. Fore has endeavored to induce his
wife to return to him, but che refused,
and YESTERDAY he made violent demonstra-
tons at the house, threatening l., shoot
booth Dir. and Mrs Beach for influencing
his wife against him. Last nigh, under
the influence of liquor and desperate at
the loss of his wife, he shot Beach, as
above stated. He has not yet been ar
rested, although dillgent search is being
made for him.
Later-The Mnrdercr's Excuse.
Joseph ii. Fore, who shot Munso ON
Beach last night, surrendered himself tU~
day, aud is now in confinement. He
says he was crazy drunk last night. He
r, collects firing off revolver, but does
not remember TO have shot Beach. He
was ill South st. Louis, six miles below
the center of the city when he gave him
self w, but asserts he does not know how
he got there. He also says the first real
knowledge he had of the shooting, was
derived from the papers. Mr.. Beach is
very low to night and not expected to
live till morning.

Tire Nashville DaiIiea.


The Nashville dailieS have advanced their
subscription prices to SO and so per year
the former for city delivery, the latter 10
mail subscribers. Ten dollars per annum
for the morning and eight for the evening
was the subscription price of the New York
Journals forty odd years AGO, and compost
tors on amoTning paper received ten dollars
week, and on an evening paper eight dol
lars Now a goOd cOmpOsitOr will average,
on either of the Nashville dailies from
twenty-five to thirty dollars a week. At the
period named piece-wOrk was twenty-three
cents per thousand ems fOrprinted copy and
twenty-five for manuscript. Our Nashville
cotemporaries, We think, now pay fifty-fiye
cents per thousand for all straight matter.
The increase Of other running expenses are
nearly in the same proportion; yet the sub
scriptiOn price remains at about the figure
of nearly a half century ago.
From the Avalanche.
Our Nashville contemporaries have de-
cided to increase their rates of subscription.
This is a sensible movement. At the pre-
sent rates they furnish & newspaper for less
than the white paper on which it is printed.
In other words, they suffer a loss as a pen
atty for practicalizing the theory that busi-
ness shoulL be conducted on other than
business principles. The cost of printing
a paper like the Ardidnche is much greater
than before the war. To the one item Of
telegraphing must be added two hundred
per cent. ON old figures, torwhich, however,
we give a thousand per cent. more satistac-
tory reports. We take it that few persons
expect us to give them something for moth
ING; and we could not conceive that city
subscribers who paid twenty-five cents per
week for six copies ofthe AraiaHche would
ask us to give them a seventh without extra
charge. Nor did they.

MEXICO.
AuarchiaI Notes,

SAN Francisco, Dec. Mexican ad-
vices report that the city of Mazetlan has
pronounced in favor of Diaz for President,
eXpelling the Federal officers who have taken
refuge en- board an American gunboat. The
revOlutionists are acting in the name of the
party of progress. There was no blood
shed. The legal governor, Buclana,
was at CilciOn and would doubtless attempt
TO eXpel the revolutiOnists.
Dispatches from TucsO say the garrison
of Guaymas, SonOrO, TeyOlted, killing their
commander, Nov. 20, pronouncing for
Diaz. Afer levying heavy contribute
on the merchants they embarked on board
two small vessels for Alfalfa, with the ex-
pectation of capturing that place with
ont trouble. Gov. Pasquera raised
troops. and Immediately re-occupied
Guaymas, and dispatched a force down the
coast in pursuit of the revolutiOnists. The
people appear to have taken no part gener-
ally in the revolts, either in Sonora or Sin
aloa.
At Mazatlan, the merchants paying
duties on goods to revolutionary authorities
were notified by the regular official that
they would be compelled to pay the full
amount again to the government as soon as
order was established.

PARIS, Nov. 30.-Cremieux, one of the

death by the c0urt-martial at Marseilles,

his prison at an early hour this morning,
and conveyed short distance outside the
walls and shot. He died bravely, refusing
to be blindfolded. His last words were

The Mutterings Of Another Revolution
NEW YORK, Dec LA Paris special
states that the government of France is
very uneasy, and exercises the utmost vigi-
lance. There is great display Of troops
in Paris, and all the points are guarded by
patriots every night, while the police are
stationed on every street corner. The
public mind is very unsettled, and the gen
eral impression is the present status of
affairs cannot last any length of time.
The last words of Rosselto bis Republican
friends were off you have not before
long crushed the army it will crush you.
1t has always been pretOrian and al
ways formed a distinct party, where
as it should be national. The danger is
pressing. The Republicans have abandoned
the insurrection. You did not like the
men of the eighteenth of March, did not
like them, but it was necessary to join in
order to restrain them"

PARIS, Dec, President Thiers in
message to the National Assembly, on re-
opening the session refers to the treaty be-
tween France and Germany, the CONNER

Health of His Royal HIghness.

LONDON, Dec. This mornings bulle-
tin states that there was an increase of fever
in the case of the Prince early in the even

the fever again partially sub
sided. The prince remained comparative
ly quiet through the remainder of the
night.
The Earl Of Chesterfield died to-day Of
typhus fever. He contracted the disease
about the same time and the same locality
as the Prince.
LATER-The death of the Earl of Ches-
terfield intensiies the anxiety for the Prince
of Wales. The public uneasiness is so
great as to have perceptible effect on the
markets, which were generally dull and fat
The Queen has returned to Windsor from
Sandringham, where sheh has been watching

Continent Smallpox.
Smallpox in virulent form is spreading
in Plymouth and vicinity. The authorities
are building special hospitals for those
stricken with the disease, and have adopted
stringent sanitary precaution.
Dixie Disturbances.
Sir Charles Dixie addressed a meeting at
Ballow last night. During the evening the
audience became very disorderly. There
was some fighting and the meeting broke up
in confusion.
The Sydieate.
The final settlement of the United States
funded loan was made to-day without dis
turbing the money market, the bonds
closing higher than ever before, the loan
advancing to 903 gold, because the settle
ment was anticipated. The portion of the
loan unsettled at the opening of the books
to-day, was only twenty millions dollars,
and of this the taking of nearly fifteen mil
lions was arranged in London, leaving less
than six millions undisposed of with the
Continent to hear from. There is no doubt
that the whole of the loan in European
markets will be taken.

louisville, Dec. 1.-The Criminal

subject of the Park tragedy and subsequent
lynching. He charged them to investigate
the murder of the Park family
and also to investigate thoroughly the cir
cumstances of the lynching. He styled the
latter murder, ridiculed the idea of the ne
groes' confession under the terror of death
being of any value, and referred to sixteen
similar murders in that circuit in the last
four years. He ordered them to inquire
whether the Sheriff, JailOr, or
any officer or Constable had neg

Grand Juror was concerned with the mob

BRUSSELS, Nov. 30.-To-day being one
of the fete days of the Communists, trouble
was anticipated, and extraordinary precau-
tions were taken by the authorities to pre-
vent dangerous demonstrations in the pres
ent excited condition of the city. The
burgomaster issued proclamation in the
morning enjoining all good citizens to re-
main in their dwellings, and forbidding out
door demonstrations, and declaring that
illegal assemblages would be dispersed.
Nevertheless, in the course of the day, the
recent disturbances were renewed. A mon
ster crowd of men of the opposite political
parties collected in the streets, and there
were indications of trouble. The police
seemed to be unable or unwilling to dis
perse the rioters. In one instance a COM
pany of civic guards sixty strong were or
dered to charge upon the people, but they
reversed their muskets and refused to obey.
The disorder continues. Mobs hold posses
sion Of the streets, and the excitement is
intense.

BRUSSELS, Dec. 1.-Baron D. Anethan

The Chambers would therefore, stand
adjourned until a new Ministry were
formed. The resignation of D. Anethan
has had most tranquIlizing effect. The
streets are free from crowds and the people
seem TO be satisfied and the city is quiet.

The Brief History of n MafI-RObbing
CIerk-A POstmIstress in Distress.


CIerk-A POstmIstress in Distress.
LOUISVILLE, Dec. This morning T.
W. Lendrum, night clerk in the Louis
vile POstoffice, was arrested for robbing the
mails in the office. Letters were found on
his person. The robbery has been going On
for sometime, and Lendrum leading high
life, keeping a woman, horse, ETC., and
sporting valuable diamonds on a thousand
a year, led to his being suspected. Watch
was set for him, and this morning he was
seen taking letters from the distributing de-
partment. The policeman on watch i'm
mediately arrested him and recovered the
letters. Lendrum was lodged in Jail and
will be examined before the Commissioner
tomorrow. He has over a Thousand in
bank, which is of course part of the pro-
ceeds of the robbery. He is a son of J. B.
Lendrum, formerly for many years City
Clerk OF Covington, Ky. The affair excites
much attention. Postmistress Porter is much
distressed over it, as it was she who put the
young man in the place from friendship for
the family, who are personal friends. Len
drum is not much affected. 1t is supposed
he relies on influences from COvingtOn
to secure his pardon. He has been
in the place about two years. When the
policeman tapped him on the shoulder, re-
marking 81 want yOu," Lendrum at once
replied, II know what you want and sur
rendered. His bank book, diamonds, in
cluding a cross valued at over thousand
dollars, and other effects were Immediately
taken possession of. II is believed the rob-
berries extend over a year, but have been
very bad within the past two or three
months. Lendrum claims that he holds the
diamonds in pawn for money loaned to an
acquaintance named PhilpOt.
Lendrum also had two fine gold watches,
one set with diamonds, which, he claimed,
belonged to PhilpO and wife, and were in
pawn, and diamond pin, also in pawn,
belonging to a member Of the late Kentucky

from Lne Ollcs IIess.
We agree with the Trenton Gazette, that
tIis lease is no doubt an advantageous con-
tract for the State. The penitentiary has
sustained itself during but a small part of
lis existence, and if it can be made self
supporting by leasing i, it is well enough
for this to he done if the security of the
prisoners and the interests Of the State are
il no wise jeopardized.
BY this lease the penitentiary viii be the
source Of small revenue to the State.
This is not Objectionable. If the peniten-
iiarv welded a large amount to the State she
might be tempted to enact severe laws
and to enforce them with too much rigor.
Bat a small income from convict labor can
give rise tono evils, AM W only!hope that the
terms of the l-aSe viii be carried out to the
lvieT.
