DETENTION OF A New YORK STEAMER
The new steamer Eienora, of the New York
line, was about 45 miles this side of that port,
near Captains Island, Thursday afternoon,
when the engineer dis covered that Que of the
pipes were leaking Capt. johnson ordered
that the fire in that engine be extinsuished
The smoke and steam alising from the draw
ing of the fire alarmed the passengers, and at
their earnest solicitation, but against the ad
wise of the officers, he sgnaled the Narragan-
set which came up and took off about half the
passengers, landing them at Stonington. The
steamer having two boilers, then proceeded
with the aid of one. Passengers arriving here
from Stonington say that the accident was
slight, not endangering the safety of passen-
gers or property, being simply leak in small
pipe The steamer will doubtless be at her
wharf this morning.

There was a ratfie for watch on Saturday night.
about twelve O'Clock, in the liquor saloon OF Peter
McKenna, No. ABS Eleventh avenue the result Of
which was very disastrous to at least two OF the
parties concerned 1t seems that Patrick Prior
and Patrick McCabe quarrelled about the way in
which the dice were thrown Prior claiming that
McCabe counted more than he threw. The men
had long been bitter enemies, SO that but q
slight provocarion vas required to incte an ugly.
and, 1t seems, murderous fight. Drawing from
his pocket q large revolver, Prior stepped back
and fired at McCabe, the ball taking effect the
left breast OF Michael Dougherty. nnctng fatal
wound. Notwithstanding Prior at once discovered
the mistake he had made, he fred again aI
McCabe, this time hitting him In tine lett leg below
the knee. He then fed from the saloon, and.
despite the efforts OF some half dozen men who
attempted to seize him, made good his escape.
Botn the injured men were removed to Bellevue
Hospital, where Dougherty now lies In very
precarious condition. The ball was extracted from
McCabe's leg, but the surgeons refused to attempt
to remove the leaden messenger from Dougherty.
fearing the result would cause his instant death.
Prior Is Q well known desperate, and the police
have been looking Tor him since last January,

ally barred by the annexation and strong ortlnca-
ton OF Alsace and Lorraine it is extremely proba-
BILE that in their next attack upon Germany the
French may advance through Switzerland. In
order to guard against this danger it is proposed
to refortlIy the old fortress OF Honentwie ana 10
convert the once formidable castle into an impreg-
nable fortress of the larger modern type. Inc
situation OF Hohentweil is most suitable for TINS
purpose, and the expansion of the railway system
has added to Its material resources. singer,

From the New Orleans Republican, June 1o1
Several weeks ago the Republican gave the de-
tails OF q horrible crime on Bayou Macon, near
its junction with the Tensas, wherein Mr.. Ar
buckle was murdered in the presence OF his wife,
ana his fatboat robbed by three young men. They
were subsequently identified. One OF them, named
Lewis, managed TO escape, while two brothers.
named A. b. and Thomas L. Norris, were arrested
and incarcerated at Winnsboro. These young
men-twenty and twenty-four years OF age, respec-
respectable families Of the parish and their crime
has excited an unusual amount OF Indignation.
This feeling eliminated last Saturday in party OF
some thirty disguised men visiting the jail, dis
arming the keeper, taking the brothers to con-
venent tree and lynching them into eternity
without the benefit OF clergy or moments respite
for repentance. The record Of Franklin parish has
for years been black with assassinations and MUIR
ders, but this latest crime has been unknown in
the parish since the war till now.
