LExfNaroN, KY, Aug. 3.-The Con-
Rresslonal election in this city To-Day re-
suited in Democratic victory py al III
creased majority. During the day negroes
voting the Democratic ticket were at
tackled by Republican negroes and one
man on each side killed. Reports IRON
the State show increased Democratic
maiorities. Jones, Democratic candi-
date for Clerk of the Appellate Court
carries the State. In Newport the Re
publican candidates were generally elect
ed. Bourbon county is Democratic, but
Paris elects two Republican city officers
LOUISVILLE, KY. Aug. 3.-At OWENS
boro to dry George W. Swope. State Sen
ator, shot Percy Reilly during o political
quarrel in the Court House yard, killing
him instantly.
TRENTON. New Jersey. August 3.-The
main reservoir which supplies this CITY
with water gave way this afternoon and
sent about 10000 900 gallons OF water
over the city, and down Pennington ave-
nue., with a mighty rush, filling cellars
of most of the houses for quarter OF
mile. The breach is IN the south end OF
the reservoir and it is about twenty feet
wide at the top. No damage done aside
from the filling of cellars and carrying
away of fences. 1t was caused by leak
age from an old pipe left embodied In
shole when the new reservoir was bullt.
All damage done, except that done by
filing of cellars, will not exceed 81 QUO.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Aug. 3.-The Vul-
can Iron works of this city last week de-
cided on reducing their mems wages ten
per cent, and SO announced it. The
employees at once quit. and they received
notice that if they did not resume work
before Wednesday, they would be paid
the wages due them and be discharged.
To-day they held a meeting and resolved
not to go to work as long as reduction
was insisted on. About dozen men
refused to quit work. They have not
been molested by the strikers.
New YORK, Aug. 3.-The revenue au-
thorities seized about $4,000 worth of
Illicit spirits of different places in the
city to-day. The superstition is that the
fraud was intended in the measure
ment. The liquor was contained in
/ AS barrels. They were found at the
warehouses of r. Patrick & Company,
Nos 43 and A New street, lis New
Church street, IS aud 80 Pearl street,
and at the stvrehouse on Cherry street.
The discovery of supposed fraud is the
result of the new order OF the Internal
Revenue department, requiring all high
wines to be regaged before rectification.
1t is said that about $4,000 have been
advanced by merchants Of this city on
the liquors under seizure.
There seems little probability of Moul-
ton testifying before the committee. He
still preserves the strictest seclusion and
silence, despite all conjectures that
have been published or real clue
obtained as TO the nature of the evidence
he possesses, except what he fore
Swallowed in his cautiously written state
ment presented to the committee some
| time ago.
The Brooklyn Eagle says the commit
tee messenger who was sent to summon
Mouton has returned from an unsuc
cessful search. He went first to Nara
gansett Pier, where he learned thai
Moulton had gone to Boston. He fol
lowed him .thither and learned that ht
| had gone further east toward Maine, bu
got no definite knowledge of his where
abouts or intentions, and followed M
further.
The Brooklyn Eagle this afternoon
publishes the following card from W. II
Sage, Chairman of the investigator.
Committee in the Beecher-Tilton case
The Plymouth Church Investigating
Committee earnestly request all persons
who have been invited to testify befor
them in the matter now under examina
ton to appear before them, to-morro,
Tuesday, evening at eight O'Clock, a
that will probably be the last meeting @
the Committee for receiving testimony.
The published article touching the a.
legged insanity in Tilton's family hav
given rise to new argument in the case
Many accept the insanity theory as true
and regard Tilton's attack on Beecher a
manifestation Of its outbreak in the az
cused. Tilton and his friends denounc
this as an expedient invented by tn
friends of Beecher for the purpose {
aiding his case, and claim that it is to
late, as no one heretofore has doubte
his sanity.
The Tribune says: "Moulton sti
fails either to make an appearance befor
the Brooklyn Committee or give thel
any opportunity to determine the gent
ineness of the letters by Beecher. 1t
said he told his friends that he has th
key of the situation, and that his pos
ton is q hard one at best, and that he
perfectly right in refusing to testify unit
after Beecher has been heard, in ordt
that he may then be able to meet th
latest phases of the case. The publ
will be apt to hold that Moulton, by vi
tue of the place of go-between he seem
to have sought, is bound TO tell what b
knows; that he is really responsible fl

them true, or accept also the responsibi
ity for an attempt at moral murder whic
they involve. Mrs. Tilton's last exam
