The Crossing of the Danubc-The Manner
i'm which the Turks Were Deceived.

LONDON. June 25--The Daily Ne,ts' Ibrail
correspondent telegraphing Friday, sends a
long dispatch explaining how the crossing was
effected. The Russians at Ibrail completed
their bridges undisturbed by the Turks. Every
one understood Thursday the crossing was
postponed, both on account of the delay
of the Cars arrival and because a
large force Of Turkish troops had been
discovered in ambush not far from the bridge.
However, Gen. Zimmerman suddenly dis
appeared from Ibrail during the night. This
morning, q little after daybreak, the. people
Of Ibrail were awakened by the sound of ar
tillery and musketry on the other side Of the
river, showing the Danube must have been
crossed. Gen. Zimmerman had gone to
Galatz and crossed the Danube with two reg
iments Of infantry and q proportionate
amount Of artillery and cavalry in a number
Of boats, towed over by steam launches. The
distance traversed in boats seems to have
been over three miles. The Turks seem to
have made stubborn resistance.

shreveport Times.l
We learn from Mr.. Courtney, deputy
sheriff Of DeSoto parish, that on last
Monday or Tuesday he arrested William
Lungley, u very desperate character
who is wanted in Texas for
many high-handed outrages be
has committed in that State.
He murdered his last victim in Lee
county, where he was well known and
feared as bad man and remarkably
good shot with either pistol or rifle.
For some time he was confined In the
county jail Of Lee, but subsequently
made his escape and fled to Louisiana,
settling in DeSoto parish, where he has
been living quietly and peaceably for
nearly two years under an assumed
name Of Jackson.
Lungley's whereabouts wrote to the
sheriff of DeSoto parish, giving @ full
description Of the man and the crime
he had last committed, and cautioned
him to use every precaution for his cap
ture as he or some of the posse might
possibly lose their lives. Soon every
thing was quietly and systematically
arranged for his capture. Mr.. Courtney
and a small posse went into the
neighborhood Of where their man was
living and before he was aware of what
was going on they suddenly came upon
him In the field blowing and unarmed,
taking him completely by surprise.
Lungley Immediately realized what was
up and seeing that he had no possible
chance Of escape, gracefully surren-
dered, saying, "Gentlemen, I know
what you want; you are after William
Lungley; am the man. Mr.. Court
ney informed him that he had guessed
correctly and produced the warrant for
his arrest. Lungley, after being well
secured, said he might as we'll make q
clean breast Of it as it would be the last
Of him when he reached Texas, and con-
fessed to the killing of thirty-two men,
and said he came near killing q man
two days before his arrest, and wished
he had done it, as it would have saved
him from being captured.
During his residence il De Soto par
ish he conducted himself in a most quiet
and gentlemanly manner, and none OF
his neighbors for a moment suspected
him of being the bloodthirsty villain
that he Is.
After Lungley's delivery to the sheriff
of Texas he invited Mr.. Courtney and
his posse to come and see him hanged

An Amusing witness.

The Superior Criminal Courtroom was iammed
with heterogeneous crowd who, excited by curios-
ity, came TO witness the trial OF Bayern and Nc
Oarthy the other day, for murder. There is
always something OF solemn impressiyeness about
this building and the room where justice is meted
out, but that seemed for moment relaxed as
"George Washington, sahl" took the stand 10 give
his testimony for the State. There was nothing
remarkable in his appearance; nothing indicative
Of his latent genius, but when George had en-
tered into the spirit Of tho occasion, he shone
ont resplendenuy. When asked to describe what
he saw on the morning Of the murder, he rose to
the occasion. Standing in the witness bog, ges-
ticulating excitedly, he demonstrated how tho

"PEssIMIsT VIEWS"

attributed to him by his eulogist.
Well, when this man of method had resolved TO
reorgsnize the Russian army, he first called to
his aid several Of The most accomplished students
OF The military art that Europe afforded Then
he took the army on paper and effected his reor-
ganization first with red and blue pencils, down
to the smallest details. There was no expert
mcnting, no practical trials on a small scale to
see how it would work. But when he had per-
fected his plans on paper he drafted them into
general order, explained the scope thereof to the
Czar obtained
THE IMPERIAL, ASSENT,
published The order and the thing was done.
Nothing was left Of the old Russian army except the
numerical designations Of the regiments, while in
it's stead arose 3 force whose organization in
theory at least, is as perfect az clockwork This
army consists Of fifteen army corps, Of which the
first, second and third are imperial guards, and
the remaining twelve OF troops of the line. OF
these the fifth and sixth corps are employed in
sedentary" or garrison duty, leaving the fourth,
seventh eighth ninth, tenth, eleventh and
twelfth corps for active duty. At the date Of the
publication OF the pamphlet under consideration.
the thirteenth. fourteenth and fifteenth corps had
not been moblzed, but inssmueh ss their desg-
nations have begun to appear in the reports from
the seat Of war, infer that they have since been
put on foot.
THE REGULAR RUSSIAN ARMY CORPS
is made up OF two divisions OF infantry and one
division of cavalry.
Each infantry division has two brigades, each
brigade two regiments and each regiment three
bsttalions Of FIVE companies and 1916 men-203
L. IL Iii
THE TOTAL STRENGTH
OF the army corps in infantry would thus be:
That is TO say, the brigade would consist Of six
battalions or 5000 men, the division of twelve bat
talions or 1880 men and the corps Of twenty
four battslions or o. 800 men-that is to say, in
fantry.
THE CAVALRY DIVISION
Of each corps consists Of two brigades, one Of
which is light and the other heavy. The heavy
brigade consists Of one regiment of dragons
and one Of lanoers, and the light brigade Of one
Hussar and one Oossack regiment. The Russian
cavalry regiment has eight squadrons or sixteen
troops OF about 100 men each ON the normal foot
ing, though they never seem to have that num-
Der mounted from the fact that the estimate for
"troop horses" is not found to exceed eighty to
the troop or 160 to the squadron Thus the ao-
tusl strength OF ths cavalry division would seem
to be about $500 men in the saddle, with perhaps
another 1000 in dismounted camp.
THE ARTILLERY OF THE CORPS
consists OF six 8-gun batteries Of foot artillery for
each infantry division, and two 6-gun batteries of
horse artillery to the division of cavalry. The
foot batteries have 200 men each and the horse
batteries 150, which would make the total force
of the army corps AZ follows.
