Dispatches of the 10Th state that on account
OF the fragrant outrages on railway trains and
employees the Spanish Government had deter
mined that every armed Carlst found in the
vicinity of any railroad should be shot A
delegation from the Carist Committee
OF London had gone to Spain to inform
Don Carlos that the English bankers with
whom the Carlist loan was lodged had re-
fused to make further advances. 1t was un-
derstood that Spain would pay Germany an
indemnity equal to the value of the Gustav
and cargo, even if she be unsuccessful in ex-
acting the same from the Carlists at Zeranz.
Paris dispatch of the Goth says that lead
ing Spanish Republicans were arranging with
the Carlists to bury their political differences
and unite in general uprising against the
authority of King Alphonso, and that, should
the'project succeed, it was proposed, by
plebiscite, to decide between a monarchy
with Don Carlos as King and a republic.
The London Pail Mall Gazette of the Goth
says that war, if not actually declared, was
resolved upon by Montenegro against Tur-
key. European powers had in vain tried to
bring about a peaceable solution of the diff
culties between the two nations.
boiler explosion occurred in Yorkshire
(Eng.) factory on the 2lst, which killed five
and injured fifty persons.
Spanish dispatches Of the 21st say Alphon.
SOS civil list had been fixed at % OOO, 600 reals
Forty-seve Carlist officers had given in their
adhesion to the Monarchy. Russia, Germany
and Austria had agreed to recognize Alphon-
so without waiting for the proclamation of
the Cortes
London telegram of the ed says the
British Government had demanded an expla
nation and apology from Peru for removing a
passenger from British steamer at Callao.
On the 2sd King Alphonso issued two proc
lamations-one addressed to the inhabitants
OF Navarro and the Basque provinces and the
other to the army. In the first he says, while
he longs for peace, he will fight for his
rights; that he represents the dynasty which
their fathers swore to obey; that he is Cath
Ole and devoted to the church; that if they
will lay down their arms he will give them
full amnesty. In the second proclamation
the King demands abnegation and energy.
Rev. Charles Kingsley died in London on
the oath.
A Vienna dispatch of the oath says the
difficulty between Turkey and Montenegro
had been compromised.
A farmhouse occupied by Pierre Dulude
in Boucherville, Canada, was destroyed by fire
on the morning of the 25th, and Duludes wife
and eight children persisted in the flames
The eldest child was thirteen years old and
the youngest babe. Dulude was himself
severely burned in his efforts to save his fam
lily, and was not expected to live.

the Goth says the Presidents special message,
repeating the recommendation in his annual
message relating to the armament OF our
Notifications, and in time of peace to pre-
pare for war, had naturally raised the
question among members whether there was
any probability of war with a foreign power,

SOUTH CAROLINA LADY ONE OF THE
PLAINTIFFS.
The Augusta (Gs.) Chronicle and Sentinel
says that little more than q century ago
there lived in the quaint old town OF Flsm-
burg, Holland, a rich burgher named A.
Damn. His gold was counted by hundreds
of thousands, and he owned large portion
of tie real estate in his native town. But
rs even the possession of enormous wealth
does not brighten away death, the rich Flen-
burger had TO die. So one fine day in the
year IVA he passed away, and was
gathered to his fathers in the fam
lily vault. The funeral over, the
phlegmstic burghers, reused for the nonce
from their customary state of quiet, were on
the qui vive to find out to whom all the
gold and all the land to which the dead man
had chung to so tenaciouslY, had been left
Desk and bureau, every nook and Granny in
the old mansion in which he had live so
many years, was transacted for the all-im-
portant document. But none could be
found. The house keeper, withered and
dry, knew nothing OF such paper, and had
never heard her master speak OF it. So at
last the searchers reluctantly concluded
that there was no will in existence. An
effort was then made to find the heirs, bu'
equally unsuccessful was the search. y ne
government then finally quietly took CT ,srxrr
of the property and held it to await ne Az
pearance and identification OF the leg. I'll heirs
