FIsK's ESTATE MELTING AWAY IN SET
TLEMENr.-Mrs. Lucy ID. Fisk has become
for the first time a resident of this city.
| For several years she has lived in Boston,
| where the reports of her husbands free lifa
were weakened by distance and by the
| style which she was enabled to maintain.
She is now, however, surrounded by the
full details of his vicious career, and is
compelled to witness the breaking Of that
once golden bubble, his estate. Mrs. Fisk
is the legal manager of her husbands al
fairs, and this will be found a most annoy
ing and perplexing task. Here are houses
to be let, rents 10 collect, taxes and insur-
ance and repairs to be paid, in addition to
enormous sums of interest to be raised for
the holders of bonds and mortgages. Here,
too, are perplexing matters of stock in rail-
roads and steamboats,, whose liquidation
will awaken the selfishness of others, and
every advantage will he taken to diminish
her claims. All of Fisks associates were
unprincipled men, and most of them were
confederates in robbery, hence they will
steal as readily from his estates as from any
other. Mrs. Fisk met her frst dis appoint
ment in this duty in the sale of the equos-
trian establishment, which did not reach
the expected estimate. l asked a gentle
man before the sale, If the horses would
bring half their cost. 'Oh yes" said he, al
will give that much for them" But he
backed entirely not an article was knock
ed down to him, while the prices of the |
horses were much less than tho rate above |
mentioned. There were at least $50, 900 |
sunk at the sale, and presume that sim
liar loss will attend each step toward a set
Element. The disposal of twenty houses is
no trifie in this condition OF the real estate
market, and can only be effected by great
reduction from cost. In this manner the |
property will melt away and only afford |
We xalion to those who have the deepest In |
terest In it. Such loss Is not an uncommon
thing in estates even better managed than !

NEW YORK, August Ga dispatch from VI at

his intention of accepting the amnesty offered
him, on condition that the government will re-
move Garzia AyOla and become responsible for
his acts during the revolution. Gen. Rocha has
a,oOO men in Monterey and 1900 in Saltillo.
There were nine witnesses before the American
com mission in Brownsville on the 5th instant.
kancheros were coming TO testify concerning
Mexican outrages. There was a rumOr that an
attempt would be made TO trump up rebutting
testimony TO shield the Mexican government
1t is in evidence that cattle crossed the river
near Brownsville, stolen from American citi-
zens, to the number of 60, 900, valued at a mil
lion collars. Inspectors of the customs testify
that they distinctly recognized officers of Cor
tlnas army directing operations. A herd of
cattle to the number OF 900 TO COCO were hur-
ried across the river in open daylight. The
cattle were driven three days without food in
order 10 reach the river, and 900 persisted in
the sand. On one occasion the thieves picketed
the road and made passing travellers assist them
In crossing cattle over the river. A herd of
stolen cattle grazed yesterday within - miles OF
Brownsville, on the Mexican side.

~ ANSOCIATED IRENSl
NEW YORK. August G.-The TribB ne now es-
Inmates Merrimon's majority from its dispatches
which nearly cover the whole of North Carolina,
at ,3l1.
The Worlds Raleigh dispatches says the cleo
ton will be very close; that if Caldwell obtains
the same ratio of gain in the counties 20 be
heard from, he will be elected by very small
vote. 0nslow county gives Merrimon a gain of
400, which makes his chances more favorable.
The Herald's Raleigh dispatches saws il will
take the official vote to decide. The democratic
and republican gains came in alternately, cans
ing excitement and suspense. If Caldwell is
declared elected, Merrimon will contest. An
estimate made by Mr.. Phillips, chairman of the
Tepubiican state central committee, giving the
State to Caldwell by 400 majority, is generally
dscredited. No confidence is to be placed on
reports of majorities on one side or the other.
Cobb, republican, has a majority in the first
district of !, 900; Thomas, republican, in the
second district, probably has 1000 majority;
Smith, republican, in the fourth district, has
500 majority; Waddell, democrat, in the third
district, has 200; Leach, democrat, in the fifth
district, GOO, and Ashe, democrat, in the seventh
district, and Vance, democrat, in the eighth
district, are elected by large maiOrities. The
dispatches of Collector Young to the Times claim
the State for the republicans.
WILMINGTON, \. c., August 6.-The following
are official majOrities:- Hanover, revised,
1852 for Caldwell; Brunswick, 80 for Caldwell;
Onslow, 400 for MerrimOn. The official vote of
but few counties can be obtained here, as nearly
all have been sent to Raleigh. The conserya-
tives here are all very hopeful, relying on the
MCStVih OounCcs W clcCl MeITlinOn. many
leading republicans concede Merrmon's cleo
ton by small majority. The Star and the
Journal both claim Merrimons election By
about 500 majority.
RALEIGH, n. c., August 6.-Oficial returns
to-day from the counties already heard from
change but little in the aggregate estimate here
tOfore given. The democrats still hold some $50
on Ships democratic majority of 1870. There
are eleven counties to hear from, which coun-
ties will hold the vote OF 1870.
The republicans are respondent to-day, and
the democrats hopeful, both parties figuring
with approNimating results. Information from
the west this evening will doubtless decide the
matter with chances, at present, in favor Of
Merrimon.
