How General C0ncha's Body was Carried
of the Battle. Field.

You have already heard in detail how the
General met his death in animating his army
to the attack on the Carlist entertainments
of Monte MurO. Shortly before he climbed
the spire of Abarzuza church to take corp
dGuil of the line Of battle. He was accom-
panied by a member of his staff, to whom
be spoke seriously and confdentially. 1t
seemed as if he had presentiment of what
was to happen, for he remarked that if any
untOward event occurred in the action
about to be commenced, he wished it to be
borne in mind that, though he had intrusted
his plans to nobody. the remaining in Es-
tella, when taken, formed no par, of them.
He intended merely to garrison it against
future attack, and then to pass on with the
army into all the Carlist lairs one after the
other. Descending from the tower, he
walked along the Ugh road till close to the
fatal Monte Muro, where he observed the
final lepulse of one of his divisions before
the impetuositv of the Carlist de
fense. The road az this point becoming

minutes more the Marshal had ceased to

POLITICAL.
The Election in Memphis.


MEMPHIS. August 6.-The election to-day
was unusually quiet. The interest mani
tested in the election by the merchants was
never witnessed before, nearly all the stores
being closed and the proprietors aud clerks
at the polls, working for the Conservative
ticket; and, notwithstanding the lines be-
tween the blacks and whites are strongly
drawn, more colored men voted the Con-
servatve ticket than ever before. 1t is
generally conceded that the Conservatives
have swept the city, and will carry the
county, and elect the entire ticket by fifteen
hundred to two thousand majority. The
official vote will not be known before to-
morrow evening.
The Result.
The election to-day passed off unusually
quiet Business generally suspended. 1t

tives have swept the city, and will carry
the county tor their entire ticket by 1900 to
1000 majority. The official vote will not b5
known before tomorrow evening.
The Democracy Jubilaut.
The city is wild with excitement tonight
over the result of the election today. The
Arolaache and appeal offices are illumin-
ated, guns being fired and a great display
OF fireworks over the Conservative victory.
# is believed now that the Bartlett ticket
was carried IN the city by over 2000 and
kilograms from the surrounding counties
show heavy Democratic gains.

LONDON, August 6.-The cricket contests
between the visiting Americans and the
Englshnen were renewed this morning
oy the commencement of a game between
the Princess Club and twenty two of the
Americans. The Americans won the toss,
and sent the English to the bat. The game
was suspended for luncheon, at which time
seven wickets had fallen for nine runs.
The game will be resumed at three o'clock
this afternoon.
It's probable the Americans will gain an
easy victory because all the crack players
of the Princess Club are out of town
Upon the conclusion of the Englishmens
inning in the cricket match this afternoon,
game Of base ball was played between
the Red Stockings and Athletics: Red

don boy" writes the Danbury Ners man.
"He is always on the street, and always in
the way. / never saw such boy in any
other city. He ia not quarrelsome, nor
saucy. not addicted to smoking, and never
heard one of them swear, even under the
most favorable circumstances. To tell the
truth, never heard them say much OF any
thing. He is a helpless youth, addicted to
store windows, rubbing against buildings.

DISASTER.
The Late Steamboat Disaster.

LOUISVILLE, August 6.-About two weeks
ago a negro thief was detected by watch
man on the burned steamer, Pat Rogers,
who fired at him, but missed him. Thls
negro took deck passage on the Rogers
when she left the wharf. on Tuesday, and
was heard to say to several negroes, before
starting. that he would make it hot as hell
for thai warchman before the boat reached
Cincinnati. The opinion is expressed by
one of the officials Of the line here that this
negro set the boat on fire and cut the tiller
rope.
Additional Names of the Lost--Fun Par
ticulars.
CINCINNATI, August 6-Among the addi-
tional lost is A. VI. Boats, North Carolina,
and F. NJ. Stone, North Carolina, was
badly burned.
The greatest misfortune consisted in the
fact that the fire occurred in that particu.
lar point of the river, for Just there the
river was at such stage that it was i'm
possible for the boat TO reach the shore
drawing as much water as she did. The
limit of time between the frs, alarm and
when everybody had left the boat is said 10
be twenty minutes.
At the rime there was dry land On the
starbOard side only thirty yards distant
but wall of flame intervened. Ou the
larbOard side land was long distance
away: the wind was blowing toward the
nearest shore and drove the flames in tina,
direction. MANY who got to the shore are
disfgured for life, the exposed part of their
body being actually roasted by the exces-
sive heat.
One of the most thrilling and miraculous
escapes was that of Miss L. j. Williams, OF
Louisville, who threw away her valise and
extra clothing, and after securing the SER
vices of a gentleman in throwing overboa rd
a crate Of peaches, she leaped into the water
after it with life preserver. When she
attempted to cling to the crate it revolved
like reel, and for two terrible hours she
struggled with the crate, and had just closed
her eyes in despair, when she was drawn
into a skiff by Mr.. Huff, who rendered
services in several other cases.
Miss Rowden, Of Louisville, jumped from
the boat toward the Indiana shore, and
hungry tongues of flame licking along the
surface of thu water horribly burned her
head and face. She bad no life preserver
and only secured one end of plank by
clipgine to pantaloon leg, who swan pas,
her. She says that while moving through

The TuRboat Ocean.

This famous old tugboat, which has done
many years faithful service in our waters,
has recently been rebuilt and thoroughly
refitted at the dock yard of Messrs. Cottrell,
Brady T. Mcclellan, in Algiers, and will be
launched tomorrow at noon. The public
are invited to be present and see for them
selves what Louisiana mechanics can do
with Louisiana material, and witness the
pretty ceremony of again consigning the
vessel to her place on the waters.

A Western Sorrow.

They order these things better in Illinois.
Iu Logan county they have ''sorrow." the
abstract and brief chronicle" Of which,
up to date, is to the following effect: Young
Dunlap made "suggestion of improperly"
to Mrs. StOnacker. Mrs. StOnaker's mag
nanimity having been neglected, she did
not continue to associate very intimately
with Dunlap. On the contrary. she was
exasperated and che told Stonaker as soon
as he came home. Stonaker is one of your
gruf. uncultivated and illiterate beings.
who do not seem to he capable of cosmOpol
itan or philosOphic views OF marital affairs,
ana SO he does not 60 around for five or SIX
months with his grievance locked in his
bosom.
He simply walked out to where young
Dunlap was at work with his father and
two brothers, and undertook to put "a rag
ged edge Of anxiety" on the offender. But
young Dunlap was not that kind OF chap.
He did not feel disposed to ''humble him
self before Stonaker, and he did not seem
to care a cent whether Stonaker would ere
member all the other breasts that would
ache" or not. He simply organized all the
Dunlaps present into a committee OF in
quiry, and together they proceeded to
cross-examine Stonaker with pistols.
StOnaker realized that the committee was
prejudiced and retiring with considerable

Gaunt." Pshaw! she was working over the
butter, and when Stonaker had informed
her what shape the scandal" had assumed
"the heavenly vision dawned upon her." she
picked up shotgun and started out to give
Dunlap something that would take him
out of the jurisdiction Of council of min
listers.
Stonaker went along, carrying a revolv.
ing 'thunderbolt''-one of Colts pattern
and when the parties were within range Of
each other they proceeded to deliver their
respective statements with a point blank
directnese that left little to be inferred as
to their mutual relations. When the inves.
tigation was concluded it was discovered
that old Dunlap's breast ached with a
charge of small shot, and that one of Ston
aker's children had been "blighted" by a
shot in the leg. The investigation will
doubtless be reopened as soon as the
wounded recover.

Work as q Womau's Cure.

Professor Huxley says: 1--WE have heard
good deal lately about the physical disa-
bilities Of women. Some of these alleged
lmpediments. no doubt, are really inherent
in their organization, but nine-tenths of
them are artifcial-the products of their
mode OF life. believe that nothing would
tend 80 etfectually to get rid of these crea-
tions of idleness, wearlness, and that over
stimulation of the emotions which, in
palmer spoken days, used to be called wan
tonness, than fair share of healthy work,
directed toward definite object. combined
with an equally fair share of healthy play,
during the years of adolescence; and those
who are best acquainted with the acquire
ments Of an average medical practitioner
will find it hardest to believe that the at
tempt to reach that standard is likely to
prove exhausting to an ordinarily intelli-
gent and well educated young woman"

son, demanded the calling of the vote by
parishes.
The chair announced that the tally kept
showed more votes cast than there were
names on the roll.
The roll was then ordered to be called
again by parishes.
A few parishes had been recorded when
Mr. Green announced that he withdrew
his substitute, and proposed to support the
motion of Mr.. Ray that the report be con-
sidered parish by parish and ward by ward.
The calling of the roll was therefore
stopped, and the chair stated the question
before the house.
Mr. Pinchback then moved that the con-
vention adjourn till to-day at 10 A. M, and
the motion was carried.
