WASHINGTON.
The OnciaI G. Opy OF the Award Received

The OmciaI Opy OF the Award Received
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The Secretary OF
State to-day received by special messenger an
official copy of the decision and award OF the
Geneva arbitration tits handsomely engrav-
ed on parchment and bound with the sigma
lures of the Arbitrators. The secretary pre-,
sented it to President Grant this morning and
it was afterwards taken to the Department to be
deposited in archieves.
DepredatiOns ON the Rio Grnnde.
Col Robb of Georgia, and Mr.. Savage of Cal
ifornia, two of the committee appointed by the
President to take testimony relative to depre-
dati0ns on the Rio Grande have returned to
Washington to- day, and called on the Presi-
dent and had long interview. The President
was interested in the narrative of these gentle
men, who will prepare formal report for
transmission to Congress; and he was evidently
gratified with the manner in which, they trans
acted the business with which they were in
trusted. The incursions by armed Mexican
bands into Texas are numerous and have con-
tinued ever since 1859. They have since that
time driven cattle, estimated to be worth sew
eral millions OF dollars, from Texas across the
river into Mexico, where their plumber is sold
to soldiers and citizens. Gen. Cortina who is
not at present in active military service, but on
waiting orders, is represented to be one OF the
most active instigators, by which he largely
profits.
Texans while endeavoring to drive away
thieves, are sometimes killed by superior num-
DerS OF Mexican DanQS. Wnlle occasionally Tile
latter suffer in like manner. Owing to these
frequent incursions, the border continues in a
state of excitement. There is only one compa-
ny of cavalry ON the frontier, which is of little
use, considering the distance which requires to
be guarded, it being 800 miles from the mouth
of the Rio Grande to the extreme American
settlements. The infantry is located at long in
tervals; the distance is nearly 800 miles from
Fort Brown to Ringgold barracks, with only
camp intervening Some of the suffers by Mex
lean raids who had travelled 200 miles to give
their testimony, expressed their qualification
that preliminary measures had been taken, not
only to protect, but to indemnify them for
losses. i-
General fMcCurd, commanding on the Rio
Grande, cOrroborates the statements of the
witnesses as to the bolduess with which the
raids are made and testified as to his inability
with his insufficient force to give the required
protection. There is reason to believe that the
President in submitting the report of the COM
missioners to Congress will accompany it with
strong recommendation that prompt meas
ures be taken to protect our citizens on the Dor
der in their lives and property. f

The announcement of the death of Mr.. Sew
ard was received with regret in all quarters.
The State Department building will, as mark
of respect to his memory, be draped with mourn
ing. a1=+

The Bricklayers' Strike.

CHICAGO, Oct. 10.-The men belonging to the
Bricklayers' Union of this city are still on a
strike. They ask ten hours pay for eight hours
work, and some evince disposition to interfere
with non-U Union men who are still at work on
the old basis. Yesterday afternoon party OF a
hundred and twenty-five strikers went to the
reaper factory in course of construction in the
southern part of the city with the intention of
driving off the workmen. They sent a commit
tee to request the mel to stop work. On the re-
fusal of the contractor to allow them to enter
the premises, they threatened violence and the
police was called to protect the workmen. SO
far no disturbance has occurred, and the en-
ployes are firm in resisting the demand of the
strikers

SIOUX CITY, Oct. 10.-At $50 yesterday this
city and vicinity was visited by quite a severe
shock of earthquake
The people rushed out of their houses and
considerable excitement prevailed for brief
period.
The shock only lasted minute and half,
but during that time crockery and bottles were
shaken up. No serious damage was done to
property 1t is reported that at Fort Randall,
Dacotah, it was more severe, and there was
great excitement. At Yankton the shock, al
though faint, was distinctly felt but no daml
age was done. Reports from other portions of
Dakota show that the shock was felt more or
less at the principal points.

Extensive COunferfefting OF Railroad
NTjckets-Arrest of the Criminal.

Latterly quite number of fraudulent rail-
road tickets have been discovered ON the Bos-
ton and Maine Railroad calculated to pass the
hasty inspection whic h these little pasteboards
ordinarily receive. 1t is probable, from what is
now known, that they have been in circulation
for several months; but it is only recently that
the fraud was discovered. A passenger on the
railroad showed Mr. Payson Tucker, the Port
land agent of the road a ticket which he said
he had purchased for $1.5O, or half the regular
rate. Mr.. Tucker traced the matter until he
satisfied himself that young man named
George w. Williams originated and put in cir
culation these forged tickets. Inform alton was
lodged at the police Office on Wednesday even
ing, and Deputy Marshal Williams and officers
Seth Sterling and Rice started to hunt up Will
liams, the forger, who has been employed for
the last three years as collector by the proprie-
tor of the Adoertiser, but none Of the employees
of that establishment knew his residence or
habits, although some Of them were called out
of their beds by the officers to give what infor-
nation they could of him. Finally, after call
ing up some of the Ward assessors, Williams
residence was found to be at Halls Court,
Chestnut street. He was absent, out of town,
his wife said, and wouldn't be home until morn
ing. The officers watched the premises all
night, and about 8 o'clock yesterday morning
found that he had returned and they secured
him. Somehow he got suspicion that there
was trouble ahead, and instead of going direct
ly to the house in the ordinary way he skulked
through yards and over fences in the neighbor-
hood and got in at the back door. His first care
on reaching home was to secrete all the type,
cuts, &c., which he had used in printing the
tickets. There was quite quantity of this
material which was chiefly stolen from the
printing Office of David Tucker, where the Bos-
ton and Maine work was DONE Some of the
forms were Standing ready for printing
tickets There was also found large quantity
of printed tickets, over nearly every railroad in
Maine, and one steamboat line. He had torn
these in pieces, but they were easily identified
as fine limitations of genuine tickets. Williams
made pretty clean breastof to Marshal Clark,
after his arrest, He said he had been in the
business ever since last spring, and that no one
was ass ociated with him in his enterprise. He
has opus he'd the tickets in every direction, in
small packages. The printing was done by
night in the Aduertiser Office, ON little press
which he owned, and kept hid in the day time.
He tested the quality of his work one day by
offering one of his forgeries at the ticket Office
of the P. S. & p. raildroad, on the pretence
that he doubted its genuineness The agent
examined it and pronounced it good. Will
liams has a wife and one small child. The lady
is an estimable person, who is much respected
by those who knew her. She is almost heart
broken by the crime of her husband, and de-
serves the sympathy of the public.

DoS GEAR DE BAzAN.--It Is not in accord
ance with tradition and association to connect
the name eff Booth with comedy 1t belongs to
the statelier drama, the impersonation of the
grandest creations of dramatic authorship. The
contrast between Hamlet or Richelieu and the
spendthrift Don Cesar, the careless, rollicking
Spanish cavalier, who is alike ready to brave
danger or spoil an intrigue, is almost painful,
considered in connection with Mr.. Booth But
like everything else that he undertakes, he gives
the part special excellence, and makes it
something that he can claim as pre-eminently
his own. Even the most ridiculous situations
in the play receive a sort of dignity from him.
The power of gesture is illustrated all through,
as for example the way in which he exhibits
and weighs the little bag which holds the bull
lets that Don Jose insists were buried in his
body. Like Hacketts cup of sack in Fastaff
it is study. But we have not time to indulge
in lengthy criticism. The Don Caesar of last
night was perhaps the best ever seen here, and
the support to Mr.. Booth was very good. Mr.
Ogden acquitted himself passably well as Don
Jose, but did not quite meet the popular de-
mand. Miss Pateman's Mariana was deli
cate and truthful representation; maiden mod
esty and wife's devotion were portrayed without
the exaggeration that often mars a passionate
character like this. Mr. Pateman and Mrs
McDouall as the Marquis and Marchioness kept
the audience in roar by their rapid eccentric
tiles Tonight Mr.. Booth will receive a bene-
fit, offering his friends Katherine and Petruchio
and the Iron Chest Every inch of space in Music
Hall ought to be taken az recognition of Mr..
Booths genius and a testimonial for the favor
he has rendered by giving us six nights of real
pleasure. Last night there was a very large
and appreciative audience.

CHARLOTTE CUsHMAN's READING.-Those
who were of the audience at City Hall last
night enjoyed fine literary treat from that
gifted and noble woman, Charlotte Cushman
1t was a magnificent exhibition of elocution
and it is to be regretted that her visit toPortand
could not have been made when there was less
a formidable competition than Edwin Booth.
But it was impossible; Miss Cushman's engage
ments are such that at no other time could she
get an opportunity to come; and if she did not
meet the success she deserved it must be at
tributed to the cause we have spoken of and not
to any want of energy on the part of the man
ager We have no opportunity at this late
hour to speak of the readings as they should be
spoken of, and this passing reference must suf-
flee for this time
