was made yesterday morning 1t half past
eight o'clock. The Boston and Maine Com
pany, not to be outdone by their entefprising
nelghbors, likewise started an express train
for Portland at the same hour. This new ar
rangement appears to have been anticipated
by the Eastern road, fer on arriving at Ber-
wick Junction, where the trains Of the two
companies are carried over the Portsmouth,
Saco and Portland railroad, which Is lessed
by the Eastern road, it was found that the
switch was spiked to prevent junction on
the part Of the Maine road. Here the officers
of the Maine road were informed by thsss Of
the Eastern road that the agreement entered
into by the two companies included only the
passage of regular trains over the Portland,
Saco and Portsmouth Railroad, and that il
was not proposed to take the passenger of
the morning express train, it being regarded
as a competition between the corporations.
The Eastern express train was therefore
started on its journey to Portland, leaving the
passengers of the Boston and Maine train be-
hind at Berwick junction in a somewhat ex-
cited mood, and not little disappointed.
Superintendent Merritt, of the Maine road,
ordered refreshments from Great Falls
for the annoyed and delayed passengers,s and
otherwise provided for their comfort until the
arrival of the regular train at three O'Clock,
when they were forwarded to Portland.
1t was rumored last evening that the reg
ular six o'clock express on the Maine road,
commencing Monday, which is advertised to
run at that hour every evening, was in q
similar condition, but this could not be traced
to any reliable authority, although it is known
that the train from Portland, under the new
arrangement, reached this city at temp. NJ.
The difficulty in question, as far as Is
known, applies only to the morning train,
and whether an amicable settlement can be
made, or whether the Maine road will be
obliged to withdraw the train, will be q Ques-
ten of much public interest Boston Journal.

From Washington.

Washington, June 6. Rumors having been
circulated that the department of agriculture
has predicted a very shot cotton crop this
year, II is proper to state that estimate
of the growing crop has been officially made,
and no report concerning it has been issued
this season. An estimate of the comparative
average and statement on the condition of
the crop will be made in about two weeks.
The discontinued colored laborers renewed
their intercourse with the employees on the

Governor Orr of South Carolina, testified
before the Ku-Klux Committee to-day, that
he had no personal knowledge of the Ku-
kux, and did not believe they existed in his
section of the State. He expressed the
opinion that such an organization did exist
in some of the counties of South Carolina.
and its object was to intimdate the colored
people from voting at the election in 1872.
He believed tn at the constitution of the coun-
ell of safety, published in the Charleston Re-
publican last February, was the basis of the
organic 'ton. He said the legislature had
been extravagant, and some of its members
were corrupt. He condemned the present
election laws, and believed that they would
be repealed He thought the white people
were very blameable for the incompetency of
rulers, and inetficency OF legislation, because
of their refusal to take part at the outset of
reconstruction in the elections, and since by
trying to get the colored men to vote the
democratic ticket in opposition to their
friends, the republicans. Governor Orr re-
turns to South Carolina tonight.

From New York.


New York, June 8. Arrived, Steamship
Vile de Paris.
The Erie, New York Central & Hudson,
and the Pennsylvania Central lines, have
adopted new tariff on prices for western
freight, which are % per cent higher than
those adopted in May.
The ship Europa which arrived to-day
from Bremen, reports that on Sunday last
she fell in with the brig j. S. Bowen, off
Quincy, Mass, four days from this port, for
Giberal,er, whose crew had mutineered, kill
ing the Captain. j. o. Amesbury. The chief
mate lay on the deck senseless and seriously
wounded. The second mate had an arm
broken and otherwise badly injured, and two
men and passenger were also seriously
beaten. The mate of the Europa was put on
board of the brig to bring her to this port.
The brig j. S. Bowen sailed from New
York week ago Saturday for Giberal,ar and
CadiZ, loaded with tobacco and slaves. She
is owned in part by Capt. j. K. lngraham,
No. %, South street. There were six sea-
men, all colored, and Capt. J. o. Amesbury,
her commander said, 81 guess have a good
set of men," One of them had been drink
ing, but of him it was remarked that he would
soon come out of it. Capt. A. was an officer
of long experience at sea, and one who has
never been liable to difficulty with his crew.
The mate is named Jeremiah Sleeper, from
Rockland, Me, and nephew of the Captain.
A passenger who is included among the in
jured men, is a young Spanish gentleman,
from Cadiz. Capt. Ingraham has gone to the
L. S. Marshal in expectation of procuring
the services of a revenue cutter to take charge
of the refractory crew when the arrive. The
mutiny appears to have been a murderous
assault, probably without provocation. Com
missioner White has decided to hold for ex-
tradition, Thomas Shea, Charles Carr, Thos.
Walsh and Robert Walsh, four seamen Of the
Manitoba, who attacked the captain and first
mate, beating the former and stabbing the lat
ter. Thomas Ward, John McDonals, and
Jeremiah Fitzpatrick, the other seamen COM
planned of, were discharged.
The j. S. Bowen up to a late hour Tonight
had not arrived though overdue, and it is
feared the mutneers have also murdered the
mate of the Europa, who went alone on board
t" bring the vessel into this port, though the
Europa is an emigrant vessel with "A large
crew, and might readily have spared men
enough to work the vessel back. Captain
Ameshury was found dead his head being
completely split open. The revenue cutter
Brown is lying at Staten Island and will take
the Bowen and her crew into custody as soon
as she arrives.

Shocking Tragedy at Manchester.

Manchester, N. H., June 5. This evening
about six O'Clock the people of this city were
shocked by the intelligence that a man named
Laren Ayers had murdered his wife by shoot
ing her with revolver. Ayers is stone
mason, and his wife worked in the dressreom
of the Bingham mill of the Amoskeag Com
pany. Until within a week the murderer and
his victim boarded together at the boarding
house of Mrs. Philbrick on Middle ST., No.
&C, Amoskeag Corporation. On Tuesday,
the 30th inst, Ayers got intoxicated, in con-
sequence of which his wife became greatly
dispeased and refused to live with him aGy
longer, She went privately to the boarding
house Of Mr.. +. II. Smith, No. 90, Amos
keag Corporation. She came out of the
mill this afternoon, and while going to her
boarding house, she met her husband on
Canal street. They conversed together
few moments, when she proceeded on her
way. He followed her closely, and when she
had nearly reached the house, he drew re-
volver and fired at her three times. One of
the shots struck her on the forehead and the
other struck her just below the collar bone,
| and passed downward on to her breast. She
| fell after being shot and expired il few
moments. After shooting his wife, Ayers
turned and walked about forty feet, when he
placed the pistol to his head and fired. He
tell upon the sidewalk in an insensible con-
diton. The wounded man and the body of
his victim were brought to the City Hall, and
two physicians-Dr. Josiah Crosby and DR..
A. NJ. VIM, were summoned. They found
that the ball which struck the head of the de-
ceased did not penetrate the skull. They
decided that death was caused by the ball
which entered the breast. 1t was found that
the ball which Ayers fired at his own head
struck just over his ear, passing round to the
back of the head. 1t did not enter the skull,
and the physicians are of the opinion that the
wounded man may possibly recover. He
was still unconscious at III o'clock this eve
ming.
The parties to this shocking affair have
been married about ten years; and they have
resided here at intervals during the last six
years. Ayers has been unsteady, and has
been involved in debt. He was frequently in
the habit of ndulging in intoxicating drinks.
His wife had led very unhappy life in con-
sequence of his conduct and had left Linn
several times. He is man of very violent
temper, and last winter he threatened to
shoot her if she did not return and live with
him He is Il native of Canada, but has lived
at St. Johnsbury and other towns in Yer
mont He was a soldier in the late war; and
is said to have enlisted in several regiments
1t is also said that he was bounty Jumper
He is about thirty years of age, and
has been twice married. He has a daughter
living in Canada who is fourteen years of age
The deceased was native of Vermont, and
was about thirty years of age. The father is
