THE Mexican insurgents seem determined
to. make good their successes in the vicinity
of Monterey. The latest advices are that
they are strengthening the Notifications and
concentrating all their forces there. This
contradicts the report sent through Gov
eminent channels, a few days ago, that Ire
vino had profered to treat for peace...... The
Golden Club, oe London, have issued invita-
tons to the various powers throughout the
world to send representatives to an Interna-
tional Free Trade Congress, to be held in

Sherman was "doing" Switzerland at last
accounts. ..... The first accounts of the Ger

TO the Spanish throne...... Mail accounts
from England give the particulars of an at
tempt made on the night of dune 10 to blow
up the statue of the Prince Consort, in Mer-
rion Square, Dublin. The explosion is de-
scribed as tremendous, shaking the whole
square. The monument was, however, but
slightly injured. A simultaneous attempt
was made to blow up the statue of the Earl
Of Carlisle, in Phoenix Park, Dublin, which
also proved abortive-only the legs OF the
statue being injured......A Madrid dispatch
states that our Government has waived the
question of claiming DR.. Houard to be an
American citizon, and bases its action upon
the ground of friendly intercession in the
doctors behalf, for an amnesty to be granted
by the Spanish Government. ...~s ,~.
THE latest news from Mexico rep resents
that the Juarists, 5000 strong, were march
ing on Matamoras, an6 that decisive con-
fiict was imminent......A party of Canadian
militia, in camp at Windsor, made raid on
Mr.. Edwin Benefits garden the other day.
Mr.. B. blazed away at the depredato RS with
double barreled shotgun, and seriously
wounded Corporal Isles. The volunteers
were highly incensed, and came near mob
bling Bennett. ~ - y az Isl
TIE London papers report a terrific hurri-
cane and waterspout at Rustchuk, in Bull
garia, which destroyed 500 houses, and sank
two gunboats, killing and injuring several
persons.....A Washington dispatch, states
that Spanish war vessels have been instruct
Ito seize and sink the American steamers
Virginius and Edgar Stewart, wherever
found outside of neutral ports...... The great
strike of the London carpenters. and joiners
still continued at last accounts. 1t is said
over q, 900 of them are idle, and they have
been Joined by the masons and bricklayers.
The mon demand 81 hours instead of 563
hours per week, and one shilling per day
additional. The London Times says that
the strike will result in England losing her
present advantages in industrial produc-
lions.

WE have invited attention to 1.-THE

vertised in another column. A cotemporary
thus describes the spring at Getty from
which this water is bottled: I" By an inter
esting coincidence it appears on the spot
around which the battle commenced. 1t has
the taste of common water, and was used as
such by the wounded who fell in the vicinity.
1t was their testimony as to its reinvigorat-
ing and pain-soothing properties which in
duced the residents to try it on disease, which
led to the discovery of its wonderful curative
powers. Since then it is computed that this
spring has been visited by a mill ion of peo-
pie, while its waters have been carried to
every part of the world. Its healing effects
have attracted the attention of the newspa-
per and medical press, and promise to find
an enduring record among the marvellous,
curative and restorative phenomena oil the
race. The worst forms of Dyspepsia, of
Rheumatism, Gout, Neuralgia, Paralysis,

Arrest of a Female Criminal in
Clothes Uusuited 10 Her Sex.

Arrest of a Female Criminal in
Clothes Unsuited TO Her Sex.
A few weeks ago in the famously wicked
region of Rocktown, adjoining the city, a
young colored woman named Catharine
Doublas made desperate but unavailing
effort to blow out the brains of an adver-
sary with a pistol of unusually extensive
size. She Immediately afterwards made
her disappearance from the city, and not
withstanding industrious efforts in that di-
rection, no information of her whereabouts
was gained until yesterday, at which time
she made her appearance at the office Of
Justice Wilkinson, in charge Of two gentle
men from the country.
One Of these gentlemen, Mr.. Compton,
who resides seven miles from the city, ex-
planned that two weeks ago, he hired her as
a farm laborer, believing at the time she
was a man, her attire being of the kind
usually worn by those of the sterner sex.
He knew no better until yesterday, when
Catharine's secret was betrayed by another
servant with whom she had quarreled.
When charged with the deception, she &C
knowledged the fact, and while before JUS
tice Wilkinson, owned up fully as to name,
identity, facts, etc. The curious circum-
stance attracted large audience of inter-
ested spectators to the office of Justice,
anxious to see woman in mans clothes.
Not giving security in the sum of $500 for
her appearance to answer the charge of
malicious shooting, the disguised woman
was finally committed to jail.

violations Of the FishIng Law.

With the view of aiding the increase and
growth of fish in the water courses of Dav-
idson and the adjoining counties, the Legis-
lature enacted law on the 18th of June,
1870, making it misdemeanor to use
dip-net or seine for fishing purposes in this
locality. But still we hear frequent COM
plants that this unfair and unlawful means
of fishing is frequently resorted to by par
ties who are either ignorant of or unmind-
full of the law on the subject. Citizens who
are interested in the growth of the fish sup
ply, but who are not now disposed to see
the prohibitory law fully enforced, would
give timely warning to those who use nets
and seineS, that such meansIof fishing must
be stopped, or the aid of the law viii be
sought to accomplish that object. Violat-
ors are admoniShed to ''toat fair" or not
toat at all.

A few weeks since handsomely dressed
lady called at the house ola colored woman.
near the corner of Summer and Demon
breun streets, and stated to the latter that
she desired to leave her baby with her until
she could return from the Postofice. The
unsuspecting woman consented and took
charge of the infantile waif-a beautiful lit
tie girl, apparently two or three weeks of
age. But the handsomely dressed female
has not yet returned from the Postotfice,
and the colored woman still has charge of
the white baby left in her care. She is not,

About 1 o'clock yesterday morning
fire broke out in large brick house on the
corner of Maine and Judges street, Frank
lin. The building was the property of Mrs.
Sally Reese, who occupied it as family
residence. In one apartment of the build
ing was also the Confectionery of j. G.
Adams, and another portion was occupied
by Miss Fairbanks as millinery establish
ment. The house was entirely destroyed.
The confectionery of Mr.. Adams was in
sured for 1900 in the Hartford Insurance
Company by w. ]. Allison, the agent at
that place, and Miss Fairbanks had policy
on her millinery goods in the Andes In
surance Company. The building was I'M
insured. Several of the merchants adj
joining removed their stock of goods and in
SO doing sustained considerable damage.

ROTARY ENGINE

all the evening, and seemed never to weary
of well looking.
THE ROTARY ENGINE
claimed its share in the attractions, and
many machinists who have examined its
construction are inclined to think it most
valuable invention. This undoubtedly is a
feature in the Exposition that can hardly
be sufficiently appreciated.
CONVENIENT ARRANGEMENTS.
For the convenience of visitors benches
have been placed at several places along the
gallery from which a view can be had of the
space below, with its fountain and cascade
whose waters sparkle like diamonds under
the brilliant gas lights. Successful expert
ments were made with the
MAGNESIUM LIGHTS
in several parts of tie building and from
the balconies. In few days arrangements
will have been made by which refeetors
can be added to the lights, thereby increas-
ing the brilliancy sufficient to illumine the
building and streets. By tonight is
thought
THE ELECTRIC LIGHT
will be successfully displayed for which
purpose hundred cups will be used. The
committee already have fifty cups but will
obtain more to-day.
THE PYROTECHNICAL DISPLAY
will be on a grand scale. Mr.. Green Nor
row left yesterday for Cincinnati to pur-
chase such fireworks as would be most
beautiful and will return in few days.
MEDALS.
Many are interested by witnessing the
Drop Press and Screw Press for the manu-
facture of medals, etc. The heavy steel
weight required and the novelty of its ex-
hibition do not fail TO collect many people
around the stand. This press stamps cuts
of the Exposition, and most visitors from a
distance are anxious to purchase one Of
these as a mementO of the great temple Of
industrial science. The metals are about
the size of a silver quarter, and can be worn
on the watch.
SCENES AND INCIDENTS
were not few last night. A young man
who had never been much among the once
clad hills and orange groves Of the "Sunny
South" made visit, in company with
young lady, to the horticultural garden.
Seeing some oranges on plant, made full
halt. After looking at them a minute he
said to his cOmpanio n 'Wen Sally Ann,
them the most curious tomatoes l ever
saW-what do they call 'em ?" Too much
laughter ensued to hear the sequel.
A HUMBUG
made its appearance last night, and several |
unsophisticated persons thought some mon
ster insect was playing grab with their eyes.
The nervous slap at ''the thing" the mex
plicabe confusion sufusing the cheek with
roses of modesty, and the roar of laughter /
to make this one of the most /
annoying practices INDUCED in by young |
men.
THE MUSIC
played by the band of the Sixteenth Regi-
ment was very much enjoyed by the visi-
tors during the day.
The following is to-night's
MUSICAL PROGRAMME:
1. Opera of the Crusade (March)
2. Then You'll Remember Me- (by re-
luest.)
3. Polonnaise.
4. Polka.
5. Under the Daisies (song.)
