DESCRIPTION OF THE MURDERER.
Jim Brown is very black, repulsive
looking negro, with low retreating fore
head. His eyes are large, and over the
left one is an ugly scar, which he says was
occasioned by mule kicking him. He is
of medium build, about five feet ten or
eleven inches in height, and weighs about
one hundred and sixty-fye pounds. He
generally went barefooted. He was raised
in Gates county, North Carolina, where
his mother still resides.
The Petersburg Index says: "There is
colored girl in this city from the neigh
borhood in which the late fearful murders
were committed in Nansemond county,
who states that she knew of previous
robbery by the same party, and that she
left Nansemond on account of threats made
by Jim Brown towards her if she ever told
of his crimes. If wanted by the authorities
she can be found here at any time"

THE OUTLOOK

The mOrtuary report this morning
shows 8 totsl Of thirty-two deaths yester
day, thirty of them from yellow-fever
and two from other causes. The report
of the day before was total
thirty-eight, thirty from yellow
fever sad eight from other causes.
While this shows greater mortality
frorl yellow-fever in proportion to the
total of deaths, than during any day Of
the past week, it is still encouraging,
and taken with the marked change IN
fbe weather, gives US great hope that we
have seen the worst. 1t is not
in the nature of things that the wealth
er will any more be as sultry and sum-
mcr-like as we have had it, and there
fore we may reasonably look for large
decrease in the number CT new cases,
and We trust, Of deaths. God grant it SO.
live weeks of continued strain has well
nigh broken down our physicians,
nurses and ministers of religion. We
cannot possibly hold out much longer,
and We do pray that cold weather has
set in and the end draws nigh. A good
frost, such as promises from the recent
rain, and all will be well again, and in a
few days. Let rs hope 30 and still con-
tinue 10 work.

SONORA.
Another PrOnunciamentO and Another
attempt at Revolution.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 1S.-Spe-
cials from Tucson to the eleventh Octo-
Der contains news of the revolution OF
Sonora as follows: A letter from Quay
mas states that pronunciamento was
issued at Promontorio, September
18th, by COnnant and Barbeyta
against the authorities of the State of
Sonora in favor ofa return to the State
constitution of November, 1872. The
revolut onists took Alamo, and hold the
district south. They levied contribu-
tions to the amount of thirty-two thou
sand dollars on the merchants of Ala
mo, which was paid. They have a
force of three hundred and fifty men,
well armed. Governor Pesquira has
taken the field in person, and is organ
iziDg q force of eight hundred men to go
against them. The chances now seem
to be that the governor will crush the
revolt at the outset; but all agree that
il he should lose the first engagement
therevolution will extend over the en-
tire State, and probably prove disastrous
90 bis future political power. Hundreds
OF poor emaciated natives are coming on
all the roads to Arizona, destitute of
food and clothing. All communication
with the capitol Is cut off.

THE GREAT BRIDGR OvEE EAST
RIVER

One of the most wonderful triumphs
of art over nature viii be, when com
pleted, the monster bridge now being
erected on East river, and intended TO
connect Brooklyn with the city of New
York. At the point of construction Of
dis work, East river is more an arm OF
the sea, or estuary, than a river,
and is of great depth and width
width, presenting obstacles to the sue
cess of the undertaking which would
seem insurmountahle TO any but
American mechanical skill and
boldness. From Chatham street,
opposite the City hall, which will
be the New York terminus, 10 the
opposite shore where Fulton, Sands,
Washington and Prospect streets bound
the square, which will be occupied by
the Brooklyn terminus, the space which
the structure will cover will be 5eSe feet.
OF this length 1856 feet will be suspended
in three main openings. The central
span win throw the magnificent exten-
sion of 1895 feet inches from river
line to pier-line, the abutments rest
ing on colossal towers, giving
breadth and elevation of arch which
viii permit the crowded navigation
of the river 10 pass without inn
pediment. From each tOwerhall spans
will spring toward the Landslide, sup
ported by cables $50 feet long, each, |
measuring from center Of tower to face
OF anchor-wsll. From the face of the
anchor-wall to the termini Of the strue-
ture, the approaches on the New York
side measure 1862 feet inches, and on
the Brooklyn side a distance of Ell feet.
These approaches will be supported by
iron girders and trusses, and will rest at
short intervals upon piers of masonry
or iron columns, located within the
blocks of building what will be ne.
crossed and occupied by this
mammoth structure. AS every spot of
ground is valuable in New York, the
space occupied by the approaches will
be honey-eombed with stores, offices, or
other habitations, over which the never
ceasing stream of passengers and roar
Of business will pass and repass over
this giant causeway. It will take, it is |
five years to complete this
grand structure, and when it is finished |
it will add another proof of American
and another attraction to
the sight-seer Of our great metropolis.

PRESBYTERIAN.
The 0ld-Sch9Ol PresbJterlans to Unite
With the Southern Church.

ST. LOUIS, October 1S.-The indepen-
dent or old-sehOol Presbyterian synod
mission met here yesterday, with Rev.
J. q. Fackler as moderator. This is the
synod which In 1855 a declaration and
testimony which caused it to be ruled
out of representation, and led to seces-
sion from the northern general assem-
bly, to which it then belonged, aud since
when it has been independent of all
higher bodies. The most interesting
question before the synod was the prop
Osition to unite with the Southern
Reformed church. A lengthy discus
sion was had with Rev. DIR. Brooks, of
st. Louis, who was q leading spirit in
the declaration and testimony matter
as the most prominent opposer of the
proposition. The vote finally reached,
late last night, and resulted
forty-seven in favor of the
union and thirty-two against it. DR..
Brooks then asked the thirty-two oppo-
nents Of the union to meet in his church
this morning, to determine what fur
ther action shall be taken. 1t is be-
lieved they will secede and organize a
new synod.
