THE MURDER OF FRENCH EXPLORERS IN
AFRICA.

From the London Academy Sept. 2l.l
The Geographical Society OF Paris have received
further details respecting the murder OF NM.
Dournaux -Dupere and Joubert oy deserters Of the
Chamba tribe, which add little to what was already
known. It would appear that. when about
seven days. journey from Ghadames, they
were met by seven persons who declared
they were perishing from hunger, and asked
their hospitality. Their ACCOUNT seemed
so satisfactory that, alter being furnished
with food, tney were admitted into the caravan,
wnen, suddenly taking advantag OF an unguarded
moment the new comers threw themselves upon
MN. Dupere and JouDert and their servant
Ahmed -ben-Zerma and murdered them. The
Chambas then stripped them OF their clothes and
carried of all their property, with the exception
OF q few printed European books, which they lett
upon the ground. The account brought
back to Gnadames by the camel drivers,
witnesses OF the murder, who were spared ~
the assaSsins as neutrais. Had the unfortunate
travellers not fallen victims to the Cnambas
1t is Iaost probable they would never have reached
the end VI their journey as band OF ten Tuareg
Huggars were also on tneir track, but turned back
when they heard the Chambas had effected their
purpose. The guide, Ndhecur ben -Ettahur, who
had arranged their murder with the ChamDas had
been sent to prison by the Caimacan OF Ghadames
previous to their departure, his bad faith having
been discovered by the travellers. IL appears
that the Calmacan oil Ghadames had entreated

he used in various ways without rendering
any account to her. He induced her on several
occasions to buy property at high rates, which

value. He likewise persuaded her to exchange
valuable property for other which was not worth
anything. She claims that Freeman swndled her
out OF the above sum, and for this she sues Tor

THE KITE AS A MOTIVE POWER
Proposed Trip from Bridgeport to New
York.

BEIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Oct. Q, 1874.
The Messrs. Lacey and Furguson returned to
the city to-day from Savin Rock, near New Haven,
where they voyaged yesterday IN boat drawn by
q kite OF stupendous proportions. They report
that rough weather during the trip was the only
reason they abandoned the more distant journey
to New London. Their passage to the Rock was so
boisterous that spray beat over their bark con-
tinually, and when on Stratford Light they had
two narrow escapes from being swamped.
THEIR SPEED
was so great that they passed every sailing vessel
they met. Their latest project Is trip from
Bridgeport to New York. 1t will be accomplished
coon as conditions OF wind aud weather favor.
The kite used by them is an object OF great interest
to the neOule here.

any denial on my part would be supernuous. The
