Award sf the Arbitration - The
United states 10 Receive Sl7,5OO,
90 as Indemnity.
GENEVA, September l4.-There is the
highest official authority for the state
ment that the dispatch telegraphed
hence by the agent Of the American
Press Association on the 9th instant,
stating that the total award would be
ST 100000, is entirely correct. This
is the exact amount agreed upon, and
Judgment for the same will be signed at
once by four members of the Court, as
follows: The Pres dent, Count Schlopis,
Of Italy; Mr.. Jacob Staempfii, OF
Switzerland, Secretary Of the Board !;
Baron Ditsjuba, of Brazil, and Charles
Francis Adams, on the part OF the
United States. Sir Alexander Cock
burn, the British member of the Board
OF Arbitration, refuses to concur in the
decision of the Board and repudistes
the awards, except in the case Of the
Alabama. He is new preparing very
elaborate and exhaustive opinion on the
subject OF the claims, wherein he differs
essentially from the judgment rendered
by the Board. In the case Of the
Florida, after extreme and lengthy
technical arguments by both sides, the
Arbitration stood four in favor Of
America to one in favor OF England.
The case of the Shenandoah was the
subject OF a still closer and more elsb-
orate legal discussion extending over
several days, and the arbitrators at the
close of the argument stood three in
favor OF judgment for the United States
to two in favor OF England.

OF his family, ana tneSe later ueFeloP
ments have aroused the suspicion that
these unfortunate persons also were
victims to her msliguancy. The record
the last two years is as follows: MIR.
aud Mrs. Lamb have been living on q
farm at Trimbeille since 1866, in q
ueighborhood of devot,d Methodists, OF
which society Mrs Lamb was apparently
a faithful and efficient member, and 1t
is owing to this fact that suspicion.
which might otherwise have been open
" expressed against her, has been
allayed. For eighteen months previous
to September, 1871. the husband and
wife had been living in q more or less
openly declared state OF feud, owing to
the refusal OF the husband to deed the
property over to her, be declaring that
she should have her third and the chill
dren the rest, in case OF his demise. On
the 18th of September, 1871. Mr. Lamb
was taken with q singular MALAY
while at work in a coru.ield, and died
in great agony in few moments. The
death was ascribed to heart disease.
Again Mrs. Lamb made unsuccessful
attempts to get control OF the
entire farm, saying that she ex-
pected that the children would turn her
out Of doors when che got old. Last
Nav the son, Orrin, a lad of l3 years,
in good health, was suddenly taken
sick and died in halt an hour after
eating a piece OF bread and butter
which he declared tasted bitter
This death was also attributed to heart
disease. On the Oath of June the
daughter, Sarah, was taken with con-
vulsions, and died within an hour.
Early this spring Mrs Lamb became
,reouent visitor at the residence OF a
near neighbor. Mr.. James Ottman.
She was not welcomed with q great
deal of cordiality, but continued her
visits, and was often heard to declare a
great admiration for Mr.. Ottman.
One day after Mrs. Ottmsn had re-
turned from a call at Mrs. Lambs,
where she said that she had taken
glass OF bitters, she was taken violently
i'll. A physician was summoned, and
80 successfully treated the malady that
the lady rapidly improved. The next
day Mrs. Lamb called, and was very
attentive to the invalid. She prepared
a slice of toast for her, and administered
some O the medicine LETT by the physi~
clan. Mrs. Ottnan was instantly taken
with agonizing pains. and died in fifteen
minutes. Shortly after this Mrs. Lamb
was employed in the family of Royal
Garland, a man living in Diamond Bluff
township. On the 18th Of August Mrs.
Lamb turned Garland a cup OF tea at
dinner. He was Immediately taken with
great pains, and died in awful agony
in an hour. The almost unaccounta6le
blindness of the public now fell Oft as
by a shock, and on the 26th OF the
month she was arrested for causing the
death of Garland. The scales once
from the public eye the horrible chain
OF deaths caused by this wholesale
murderess was discovered, and immedi'
ate Investigations were commenced:
Both strychnine and arsenic were found
on her premises. The stomach OF
Garland was exhumed and examined,
az were also those of Mrs. Ottman and
the two children, and strychnlne was
found in each Of them. The trial OF
this inhumau monster will come Oft at
Ellsworth in November next.

The Cotton Crop.
Mr.. E. J. Perkins, of Eufala, Ala, in
bis annual circular. states that he learns
from reliable authority, in this country
aud Europe, that 100000 bales Of the
American crop will be required for
consumption. The present crop will
lack from 100000 to 100000 bales ol
that amount Prices must advance
materially, and at some time within the
next twelve months will reach thirty
cents per pound and spectators may
carry them higher. He advises plant.
ers to hold their cotton.
A correspondent writing from east
and middle Florida says that the cotton
is completely destroyed in that section
of the State, and very generally through.
out the State. The same correspondent
says that four,fifths OF the crop in Ala
bsma is destroyed by the drought and
worms.
The Agricultural Department will
tomorrow issue a synopsis of their
August and September cotton report.
which, it is said, will show a material
change in the figures as compared with
their July report.

Commercial Failures In Baltimore

Commercial Failures In Baltimore.
From the Baltimore Sun-lSth.l
The financial and mercantile com
munity OF Baltimore were disturbed
Yesterday by the announcement OF the
suspension of several of our larger
houses in the grocery trade-houses,
indeed, some OF which have been
among the main agents in the develop
ment of the commerce OF the port and
trade OF the city. The old house Of
Kirkland, Chase & Co., so long in the
West India trade as shippers and i'm
porters, and dealers principally in sugar
and coffee, found itself so largely n-
volved, 10 great part by credits and ad
vances to some other houses, one or
more OF which had come under
pressure, that its members con.
cluded to suspend, az their best
policy under the circumstances. The
house of Lazesr Bros, grocers, in Ex-
change Place, was oue OF those lsrge'v
indebted to Kirkland, Chase d Co., and
led of, as it were, in the suspension. 1t
was announced also that Wm. Bayne
& Co., and J. C. Bridges & Co., grocers,
on Commerce street. bad temporarily
susrended-as also A. A. Perry 6 Co.,
lumber merchants, who have lee" or-
tepsively engaged in holding and work
ing timber lands in the Aileganies, in
the vicinity of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, manufacturing slaves
and shook stuff for the West Indies,
&c. The whole amount involved
in these suspensions it is understood
will probably amount to $2,OCp,OOO, bnt
the houses all claim to have assets am
pie to the discharge Of their indebted
mesa if realized. Therefore it ls sup
posed that there are those among them
that nav resume on getting affairs in
better control. To Kirkland, Chase d
Co. abundant financial assistance was
rendered BY capitalists appreciating their
high character and the importance Of
the house to the trade OF the city, but
thew deemed it judicious not to
accept such aid at this this time, as
thew desire to undergo the process Of
LIQUIDATION, and see exactly where they
stand. Their Liabilities are mostly
abroad, while the Indebtedness to them
is local, and among their assets is said
TO be not less than $l50.0OO BY Lazear
Bros who are reputed able 10 discharge
in the end all obligations. What NAV
be the particular causes leading TO this
series Of commercial disasters, which
more or less dovetail, as is understood,
we do not undertake to divine; but it Is
stated there are considerable stocks OF
sugar and coffee on hand in some cases
The misfortune of these houses elicits
earnest sympathy in the community,
especially that Of Kirkland, Chase d
Co., Who, it viii be remembered, two
wears after Q temporary suspension in
the disastrous panic Of 1857, paid up all
their liabilities, principat and interest
in full, though they had been released
on a compromise of IS cents in the
dollar. The late Daniel Chase, one Of
the senior members of the firm, left q
considerable property in real estate,
