LITTLE ROCK.
Cutting and Shooting Serapes Fearful
Chapter-A Radical Scheme Defeated.

LITTLE Rock, August IL. C..
Williamson and w. q. Hazless, both
prominent citizens of Hampstead
county, got into a personal difficulty
ON the 2Sth ult., in which the latter
was killed by pistol shot.
On the lst, a difficulty occurred be-
tween, DIR. r. A. BrunsOn and J. ID.
Baker, both prominent gentlemen of
Columbus, same county, in which
both were terribly cut and neither is
expected to live. A man named Glen
dening, in endeavOring to separate
the parties, received a wound from
which il is thought he cannot recover.
ON the same day, and at the same
place, a cOlOred man stabbed himself
accidentally, and is not expected to
live. A negro was drowned in the Sa.
tine river on the same day, near Co
iumbus.
Further adVices from Monticello,

The election to-day, on the prOpO-
sitlon for the city and county to sub
scribe two hundred thousand dollars

college, near this city, passed of quiet

turns already in, the proposition is no
doubt defeated,

WASHINGTON.
THE QUESTION or SURPRISING THE
COOLIE TRADE.

THE QUESTION OF SURPRISING THE
CooLIE TRADE.
WASHINGTON, August S.-The
question of suppressing the coolie
trade Is possibly to have judicial so
luton and advance treaties and legis-
lation.
Chief Justice SmOte, at Hong Kong,
having been applied TO for writ OF
hdbedS corpus, set at liberty Chinese
cOOlie named KWak A. Sing, who had
been sarrested for mutiny on the
high seas and for numbering the Cap
tain and certain of the crew of the
coohe. ship N0velle Penelope, and
after hearing long and able argu-
ment, ordered the release Of the pris-
Oner, at the same time going beyond
the questions strictly involved in the
case.
The Chief Justice decided that the
cOohe trade was a slave trade, and
that vessels engaged in il are carrying
on piracy; that the coolies Were.nOt IL
able to punishment for using every
means whatever to gain their free
dom, and that their seizing the vessel
and killing the crew, if necessary to
that end, was justified by the English
law. If this is pronounced good
law in England, and it is believed it
may be, the same can be taken by
France, United States and the Ger
man Empire as well. II the cOolie
trade is slave trade and piracy, it
can be swept from the seas in a few
months, more effectually than the
African slave trade, and by some
means there is only one difficulty in
the way of Justice SmOte's opinion
should it be affirmed, and that is that
the governments of some of the
British colonies have taken measures
for the regulation if not encourage
ment in the traffic.
FISH To RESIGN.
A Washington special reports that
Secretary Fish will ssOon return and
that George Curtis is to take his
place.

MALLORY-At the residence of her mother
Mrs. E. ". Harris, near ClaFksville, Tenn on
the 81 inst, at O'Clock Am, after long and
painful illness, Mrs. n. NJ. MALLORY, wife OF
three years, hve months and twelve days.
Death has been busy among our best and
brsyest. Almost every day we are called
upon to mourn the loss OF some one of the
good whom least we can spare and most We
love Such an one was the beloved sister OF
Captain A. L. Harris, the wife OF Captain "
B. Mallory. She mad but stepped into the
prime OF life, and just as her experience As q
mother and wife had awakened and quick
ened the emotions and sensibIities that are
the charms of all good women, God called
her from earth 10 heaven She had in
her toO-brlsf span endeared herself TO a
wide circle OF friends, had entWined her.
self close about the heart OF her husband, and
made herself q part OF the very existence
OF her children Her Christian grsces were
not the least of those thai radisted all her life
From these her mourning family and friends
have taken consolation. BLESSED are the
dead who die in the Lord" So she died. Her
hope was ever In Him who is q very present
help In time OF trouble. Peace and rest are
hers-rest IN tho certain and holy hope of a
profound faith that Christ, her Redeemer,
lived, and that though worms destroyed hsr
body, yet in her flesh she shoald see God. As
the aroma OF q beautiful flower that has faded
away forever so does the example Of this wife,
mother and sister linger behind, q perpet-
uaI reminder of one who was true and beau
tIful ard good.

The CorOnsr's lnquest-Tesiim0ny in Favor
Of Mrs. c0lhurn.

COLUMBUS, o, August THE cor
Oner's inquest, which was announced
TO take place in London in the alleged
Bu1erbarger poisoning, did not come
OF on account of the absense Of two
OF the jurors; therefore, nothing has
been developed officially. Mr.. and
Mrs. r. T. COlburn arrived in Lon
don to-day. Their attorneys are
Hon. q. n. Olds, of this city, and
Hon. r. 4. Harrison, of London.
Or. Collins, of South Charleston, was
the family physician Of Buffer
barger and attended him in his
last illness. He hes praticed
medicine in South Charleston
for thirty years, and is said to be msn
whose word is entitled to full credit.
He states that the disease which
caused Bufferbarger' last illness was
consumption, and that weeks before
his death he announced to Mrs. But.
Eerbarger, now Mrs. COlburn, that her
husbands demise was to be expected
at any time. He also says that he
never discovered any traces Of arsenic
having been administered to Buffer
barger, and thinks that he would have
done so had il been given up to within
six hours OF his death. The COroner's
inquest will be held, and further de-
FelOpments may be made.

The Kentucky Elections.

The returns from Kentucky, to be
found in an adjoining column, are full
enough to carry conviction OF a
sweeping Democratic triumph, upon
a platform and upon principles that
do not recognize any New De
parture.n The Radicals put forth
their best efforts, and in some
instances through their best men, but
10 no purpose. The Democracy, not
withstanding the sneaking and covert
opposition OF pretended Democratic
journals, has triumphed, and signslly.
We commend the conduct OF Ken
lucky to her sister States.

CRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
Auotber Terrific ExUIOsiOu.

ST. LOUIS, August 6.-AbOut two
O'Clock this morning the boiler in the
Union Touring mill Of III. O. YeageT
q Co., at the foot OF Florida street,
exploded with terrific force, instantly
killing John Scott, the engineer, and
James P. Jones, fireman, and blow
ing out the entire east end of the
building. Fragments of the boiler
were thrown from a quarter to half a
mile. The explosion is accounted for
as follows: A small amount of water
was being heated to raise steam to
operate the doctor engine. About
twenty pounds of steam was raised,
the pumps set to work, cold water
entered the boiler, and the next
moment its fragments and a large
portion of the mill were flying in every
direction. The loss to the property is
estimated at ten to twelve thousand
dollars.

THE EXPLOSION.
The investigation into the Cause of II by
Government lnspectOrs-The
Wounded and Dying.

New YORK, August 7.-CoMmO'
dore s. ID. Strong, Inspector of light
houses, testified, in the investigation
of the Westfeld calamity this morn.
ing, that when on the Staten Island
ferry-bOat, some three weeks ago, he
noticed, five minutes before starting,
that steam was rising and no person
present TO look after it. He informed
one of the hands to look out OI they
would have blow up.
Robert efifYer5- steam gauge.
maker, Went % Staten Island
On the Westfeld ON Sunday
before the explosion. Five min
utes before starting he saw no one in
the engineers room. The steam
gauge indicated nearly tWenty-nine
and a half pounds pressure.
Michael Eisgar, deck-hand, was
standing on the stern of the boat
when the explosion took place, and
does not remember hearing the safety
valve blow. He saw no liquor drank
ON that trip.
James Holiday, deck-hand, has
seen drivers Of lager beer wagons tap
d keg and give beer to the deck-hands,
tiremen and engineer, in tin kettle
containing about two quarts, but he
seldom saw the engineer join them.
Two of the deck-hands testified to
seeing the engineer forward on the
boat about eight or ten minutes before
the explosion.
The inspectors will have TO conclude
the investigation with tomorrow
mornings session, when they will re
ceive the report OF experts, appointed
by the supervising inspectors, Messrs.
c. W. Copeland, Andrew Fletcher
and VIM. ii. Vanderbilt.
New York, Brooklyn, Staten Island
and New jersey are to have an official
inspection made of the boilers on all
steam ferry-bOats forthwith.
Professor ThUrstOn, of the Stevens
Institute, HObOken, is, at the request
Of the Coroner of that place, to exam
inc the boiler Of the Westheld, with
the view OF presenting the result of
his scientific observations to the cOrO-
ner's jury.
Many OF the wounded by the West
field explosion are still under treat
ment at Bellevue hospital, and sever
al are in a critical condition.
John Phin, editor Of the Iechn0lO-
qiSt, an engin neering magazine, did not
discover any crack in the boiler. He
thinks the steam ran up rapidly and
the explosion took place at not less
than forty pounds of pressure.
Alexander ID. Douglas, chief engi-
neer of the steamship Huntsville,
once inpectOr of boilers, found no
crack or flaw, and believes the eXplO-
sion occurred at fifty pounds pressure,
the gauge having probably got out Of
order.
The verdict Of the jury OF inquest
on the body Of John Scott, engineer,
killed by the explosion this morning,
was that the explosion was caused by
insufficient water in the boiler.

The Bloody Riot In Dublin FOrty-seveH
Wounded Great Excitement

LONDON, August "a great riot
occurred in Dublin to-day. The Board
of Works prohibited the proposed
Fenian amnesty meeting, organized
by Smythe, member, OF West Meath,
Sullivan, editor of the Nation, and
O'Byrne, editor of the IrisbHldil. Not
Withstanding, at 4 O'Clock vast
crowd of men, women and children
assembled around the Wellington
monument, at Phoenix Park, 800 yards
from the Vice Rega Lodge, where
the royal party were staying. A large
police force was held in reserve. The
procession was formed, with Smythe,
Sullivan and Nolan at the head of 800
men, wearing green, who arrived at
the monument, mounted 1t and
opened the meeting.
The Superintendent of Police ad-
vanced. The people groaned and
Kissed at the Superintendent, who
showed a determination to break up
the meeting. He was knocked down.
The police then rushed up and a
frightful fight ensued. Officers drew
their stats and felled the people by
btOICba AAAC NAiunALA hOAlEA
Stones were thrown and sticks piled
by the mob. Women and children
were trampled under foot. The riot
lasted half an hour. Forty-seven per-
sons are known to have been wound
ed, many of them seriously. Smythe,
Sullivan and Nolan were badly hurt.
Many of the police received bruises.
The hospitals are full of the injured.
There is great excitement throughout
the city. The police were attacked
repeatedly, but eventually order was
restored. The leaders of the meeting
are to be prosecuted.
During the riot the military were
prepared, but were not called out.
The fighting extended all the length
OF the quay; every window showing
the "1ag honor of loyalty" was
smashed.
A dispatch from Dublin to-day says
the city is quiet. Several places WIS.,
tied by the royal party were Quilted
Sunday by the mob.
NEW YORK, August 6.-Thomas
Clarke Luby, an exile, spoke in the
Cooper Institute tonight, before near
ly 5000 people on the case Of Ireland.
He said more was Wrung from Eng
land by Fenianism within the past
few years than during OCOnnell's
case; that the rising generations of
PrOtestants would be natiOnalists, as
two of the most prominent Irish
trades to-day, Messrs. Butt and Mar
tin, were PrOdestants, and three pro-
fessOrs in Trinity College had joined
the home rule association. he iusti-
fed the revolution in Ireland il only
to shame the braggOts who talk but
never act
John Mitchell presided at the
nomination of ODonOvan Rosa.
DUBLIN, August THE royal Wis
itors left the city to-day. Crowds
lined the streets through which they
passed, but not a cheer was raised.
The people preserved dead silence,
broken only by few Kisses. The con-
duct of the police at Phoenix Park
yesterday, which is denounced as in
exeusably beastisl, has embittered
the population. The newspapers de-
mand Immediate investigation. The
Amnesty Committee have issued an
address, in which they declare that
the meeting was to make holiday
for the royalty, and would have been
allowed, but because the people met
to plead for captives they were
stricken down and sword Redeemed
with their blood.
