Custer Intercepted at Chicago.

New YORK, May Q.
A dispatch to the World states that Gen.
eral Custer was notified on Thursday, when
in the cars about to start west, to report at
General Sheridan's headquarters. Upon
doing so, Custer was notified by Sheridan
that the latter had orders from Washington
to intercept him as he passed through Chi
cago, and detain HIM until further orders
from Washington. In the meantime Sheri-
dan was ordered to start the Indian expedi-
ton without Custer. Subsequently orders
were telegraphed to Sheridan to permit
Custer to proceed to Fort Lincoln, Clusters
headquarters, but by the presidents dircc.
ton not to permit Custer to accompany the
expedition shortly to move against the hos
tile Indians, which now embraces all Of
Clusters troops, and the orders for him to
proceed to Fort Lincoln under these cir
cumstances leave him stripped Of his legi
timate command. Inquiry among the mill
tary fails to discover auy cause or pre-
tence for this course, beyond the fact that
the president orders it. ~

Terrific Explosion.
JERSEY CITY, May Z.

JERSEY CRY, May7
At quarter to eleven clock last night
one of the most terrific explosions that has
ever occurred took place on the Jesey City
palisades. The explosion occurred at the
magazine of the Delaware, Lackawanna &
Great Western railroad company, in which
were stored giant powder and Slycerire
used for blasting in Bergen tunnel. The
magazine was situated on the common, on
the immediate brow of the palisades, q lit
tie south Of the eastern terminus About
5000 houses, more or less, were damaged.
Where the magazine stood there was a
basin-sbaped excavation, fully IL feet
across, and capable of holding twoor three
thousand people. Not particle of building
material could be found. The nearest
houses are some flrst-class residences on
the west side of Palisade avenue, some 400
feet distant. For a radius of two miles
reports came in that dwellings aud build
ings had been more or less damaged and q
majority had windows destroyed, The
damage will amount to many thousands.
The cause of the disaster ia not known,
but it is thought to be the work OF ,he
tunnel strikers and rioters. Two of their
leaders were up yesterday before the police
justice for leading riot on Tuesday last,
and were held for trial

The senate for the purpose o. having
the arguments concluded tomorrow, will

Mr.. Sargent's resolution in regard to the
Chinese immigration will be called up at an

rife rain storm, accompanied by a rotating
tornado, visited this city and did great
damage to property. The storm spent it.
self chiefly on the south and north sides of
the city, the west side escaped almost un-

city, skipping some portions which lay in
its course.
Among the casualties reported are the
following The Michigan southern depot

Suicide of Fred. w. Gale at Brandon.

Fred. W. Gale of Troy, N. y. was
iUuuu III uio iOons AZ 90 - AN"o0'
on Saturday, dead. He was discovered
about o'clock in the afternoon. His non
appearance at dinner caused some anxiety,
and upon forcing the door of his room he
was found lying on the bed with his clothes
on, and had evidently been dead several
hours. Upon the table was small vial,
which had contained laudanum, from an
overdose of which he probably died.
We learn that young Gale purchased an
ounce Of laudanum at two different drug
stores on Friday evening. A running race
teok place around the park IN front of the
Brandon house, and he entered heartily
into the sport, after which he ordered sup
per and invited several of his personal
friends. As he was about to retire he said
to one Of his particular friends that it was
the last time he would sec him alive. He
took probably about an ounce and half of
the laudanuE.
He had been staying al the hotel for
some three months, and during that time,
| by his genial and courteous manners, had
won many friends. His untimely death
has cast gloom over his friends and &C.
| quaintances. He was son of Hon. John
B Gale of Troy, N. Y.
A telegram was sent to his father at once,
He replied stating that he would come on
the evening train. His remains will be
taken to Troy for burial

notice from the New York Daily Times OF

The most agreeable portion of the per-

family, who gave excellent vocal selections
az well as some very superior instrumental
music of popular kind. Mr.. Sol Smith
Russell, who, according to the programme,
is one of the Berger family, made the hit
of the evening. This gentleman is true
humorist, modest in his demeanor, and an
excellent character actor, without trace
OF vulgarity about him.

Whisky Fraud Sentences.

ST. LOUIS, May 7.
Judge Treat before sentencing the
gaugors and storekeepers to-day, drew at
tention to the fact that the statute under
which these men were indicted provides
heavier penalties than those under which
far greater offenders were convicted. The
court had at first thought the penitentiary
was the proper place for this class Of Of
Tenders, and if they were sent there the
contrast between THAR punishment and the
punishment inflicted by the circuit court in
two noted cases supposed to be those of
Mckee and Maguire--to great spectacle
would be presented of dupes and inferior
officers being treated with more severity
than great offenders. The court therefore
decided to substitute county Jail for peni-
Tertiary and thus lean to the side of mercy.

Religious Riot.

A serious rio: occurred in Sslonica, Eu-

arose from the fact that Christian girl

German consuls were assassinated by the
Mahomedans Further disturbances are APP
pretended. At last accounts the author-

NEW YORK, May Z.
Over forty thousand people visited the

any person is something wonderful when
the riddled houses in the neighborhoOd are
considered. Bricks were hurled through
walls within q foot or SO OF the sleepers'
heads. The police have failed to trace
anything that leads them TO suppose that
the strikers wore the perpetrators Of the
deed. The opinion is becoming general
that spontaneous combustion was the
cause. The damage, which is still only
guessed at. consists chiefly of broken glass
and the wreck of movable articles.
