The Geneva Arbitration.
Caleb Cushing's Return.

NEW YORK, Oct 17.-Caleb Cushing, one of
the Geneva board Of arbitration who arrived
here yesterday, said, in an interview with a
Herald reporter last night, that the settlement
had been great success, and one of which we
should feel proud Fifteen millions of dollars
is a large sum, but it Is not so much the money
value of the award as the points settled by the
controversy which gave us such great triumph
He had not teen to England, but through
France, where he had Travelled, the general
opinion expressed was that the United States
had achieved a signal victory, and one which
she deserved to achieve. The British claims,
now under consideration by the mixed commits
sion, made by English subjects, will altogether
but little exceed one million OF dollars, leaving
us very handsome margin. Mr.. Cushing
added that there was no debating or argument
during the sessions of the board. Everything
was written and presented TO the board in printed
form, making in all twenty-five volumes A
pleasant social feeling prevailed among the
members, but he (Cushing) never engaged in
dryer work

The National BOARD Of Trade.

The national board of trade convened this
morning and considered a resolution of the Buff
lalo board of trade TO the effect that if any
proposition was entertained by the national
board looking TO the national appropriation in
aid OF any works within The limit OF any particu.
lar state, it should first be shown that such
state was ready to resign all jurisdiction over
such works 10 the general government.
Mr.. Hazard OF Buffalo advocated cheap
transportation for surplus food, but doubted
whether New York would give up the control of
the Erie canal to the general government.
Mr.. Hazard continued at some length, giving
statistics to show the national character of the
Erie canal, and SAID the enlargement of that
canal would be an inestimable boon to every
hamlet in England by cheapening the staff of
life, and to the west by furnishing cheap trans
portaton for its products.
Mr.. Ropes OF Boston said it was hard to ask
New York to abandon the control of the Erie
canal, but if national appropriation was made
there should be Il guarantee against its being
made monopoly by individuals to the preyen-
ton of cheap treights. After some further de-
bate the subject was laid on the table.
The committee on gambling in trade presented
a report condemning the system of trade which
substitutes reckless gambling for fair dealing,
and calls on the banks to discourage loans to
parties engaged in corncring, by exacting such
securities as will contine their transactions with
in their means.
MIR. Branch of Richmond presented a minor
ityreport condemning cornering in stocks, gold
and grain as dishonest aud injurious to the ma
tional character.
Mr.. Fairbanks Of Chicago objected to the word
dishonest" and doubted whether they could
stop it, as it is gambling, and gambling will al
ways 90 on.
Several delegates denounced the pernicious
system of trade in cotton, as carried on in the
street. by which some three times as much
cotton is sold in one day as there is in the coun-
try.
The majority report was carried.
The committee which conferred with the Ca
madam delegates reported resolutions that the
executive council memorialize congress for an
appropriation for a commission to act in coniunc-
ton with the state department in negotiating
treaty with Great Britain for reciprocal trade
with the Dominion of Canada on liberal basis,
which shall also include the enlargement of the
Canadian canals by the government of Canada
and the right of American vessels to navigate
said canals under the same condition as are i'm
posed upon Canadian vessels. The resolution
was made the order of the day for tomorrow.
The board adjourned to 60 on an excursion on

The Poor FARM.-The oyerseers of the poor

men and invited guests, paid their annual visit
to the city farm yesterday. The company which
gathered at the city hall in the morning. at the
invitation OF Mr.. Geo w. Gale, clerk of the
board oil overseers, were provided with carriages
and after pleasant drive of three miles arrived
at the hospitablc doors of the spaeious and
handsome building cree ed as a home for tbe
homeless The guests we're received by Mr.
John Farwell, superintendent of .he farm. and
invited to the reception room, where prelim.
mary banquet of cider and apples was discussed
The official tour of inspection took place obout
noon. 1t was, of course, mere matter of eor,
as everything about the place was found in tho
most perfect order, as is always the case Mr.
Farwel received many well deserved comnl,-
ments for his efficient management of the farm
and the worthy matron shared her husband
praises for the neatness and order which evorv.
where prevailed through the house. A short
time was passed in the truant school, listening
to Rotations and singing by the little urcbins
There are now but eight boys in the school, and
seven of these will be released during the pres.
ent month. There is, however, no likelihood of
the school being discontinued, as there will un
doubedly be 10 or 20 boys assigned to the school
for the winter

Musical FestivsI-Fourth Day.

The interest in all the proceedings of the les-
tival continues pnabated; in fact, music is the
one and only theme discussed. Even politics are
eschewed, and Grant and Greeley are thrown in
the shade by the brighter luminaries now in the
ascendant in the musical horizon. Everything
is working favorably for the success of the fest-
val. The attendance at the morning and after
noon sessions was fully oue-third larger than any
previous day. One commendabe feature of the
proceedings is the promptness with which the
conductors begin their labors, and the readiness
Of the class to respond TO all their directions.
These exercises of the association for the study
and practice of music under the critical drill of
Messrs. Zerrahn and Emerson, are of great bene-
fit to the class.
The programme of the afternoon matinee was
opened by Miss Louise L. Learned, with Beetho-
VEINS Sonata Pathetique, opus 10, which she in
terpreted with great skill and expression. We
welcome Miss Learned, who has but recently
taken up her abode with US, as a valuable ac-
QUESTION to the musical circles of Worcester.

, writer in the London Athenaum says.

A writer III the London Athen@um says: Il
regret to calendar the disgraceiul fact that the
British suob has commenced a campaign
against our most famous monument, that will
end unless he be arrested, in its destruction.
Some persons, whom we forbear to characterize
as they deserve, have been devoting their
names to inlamy with their own hand by cut
ting them on the pillars of Stonehenge. II
this vandalism is unchecked, the end Is Ger
tain. The letters are not mere scratches
(though these are to be found ialso), but pur-
posed hard work, like that of the grave digger
or the cutter of epitaphs. The monument
ought to have a guardian" To this the Atbe-
n@um adds: 1--WE were in hopes that some steps
recently taken would preserve this monument.
The damage above described proves, however,
that these well meant precautions must be sup
plemented by Others still more stringent"

STRANGE ACCIDENT ON BEACON STREET
An accident, although not attended by any Sc
rious or even fatal result, happened on Bea-
con street, at the intersection of Sycamore
street, yesterday morning, which was the won
der Of the day, and many people visited the
scene during the afternoon, only TO find a
broken fence rail and the ground slightly over
turned. The particulars in the case are as
follows: About ten O'Clock Walter Stone was
driving up Beacon street from Madison street,
when his horse from some reason began TO
back. Mr.. Stone, thinking to control the ami
NAL better by getting hold of his head, jumped
from the carriage, leaving Mrs. Eliza Capeu
of Charlton, Lwho was riding with him,
as its occupant. After taking the horse
by the head, he continued to plunge
and back, and finally broke away, Jump
ing over the fence at the summit of the
steep embankment. The fence was in poor
condition and offered no resistance whatever to
the carriage, which broke through it and both
rolled together to the railroad track below,
where there is bank wall about eight feet high
over which horse carriage and occupant disap-
peared together from the sight of those on
Beacon street. A freight car was standing
upon the railroad track, against which
the carriage, or a portion of it, was brought to
stand STILL During the descent the top of the
carriage became detached from the body, and
struck the stone wall with such force as to bound
completely over the freight car. Those who
witnessed the accilent FASTENED to the scene,
expecting to find the horse and occupant of the
carriage past assistance, but were surprised TO
ind both alive and free from any serious in
jury. The horse was lying under the car upon
his back in such position that it was neces-
sary to push it out of the way before
he could be eXtrcated. The lady was
lying upon the horse and, with the exception of
few slight cuts and bruises, uninjured. The
carriage was completely demolished The dis
tance from the street to the railroad track is
about seventy feet, the pitch being very steep,
and it is wonderful that the accident was not at
tended with fatal or even serious results. The
cause of the action of the horse is unknown, but
1t is supposed by many that he had Gt as he
has never been known to take fright at pass
ing train of cars.

ably committed. The cut upon the throat was
about two inches in length, and completely
through the main artery of the neck The
