NAT length news has arrived uf the u.s.
sault on Plevna, and it has boon partially
successful. Tho Russians choeo Tuesday for
tho attack because It was foto day Of tho
Emperor. During tho previous four days
they had poured into tho works min OF
iron which would suffice to buy tho who}o
place II It were sold at its real value. From
daybrcak It'll 8 o'clock ruesdny they con-
tinucd tho cannonado and then began On ns~
sarlt. Fighting lasted I'LL eveniug. md it
ended In tho capture of threo redoubts
on tho southern front, which woro taken by
Gen. skobelef, and the great rodoubt Of
Gravitza, which fell into the hands Of Gen,
Rctliohof, The position Of Grnvitza Was
beloved to bo by far tho atrongost point
Of defenso, and almost, indeed, tho
key Of Ployna. Now that It Inns
been captured, there can bo little
doubt TINT tho town itsolf will soon
bo rntonah1o, II indeed 1t hos not already
surrendered. Tho ssorming parties captured
five guns and two standards, but with terrible
loss on the part Of tho assailauta, as tho
commander OF tho regimont Was killed, and
General aud 5000 mon wero wounded.

REOPENED.
suspicioa of Foul Play in the Gaze of
Mr. JelIisOn.

In hopes of clearing up the mystery at
WATERFORD in the case of Jellison, who was
found dead on the Rochester road last week,
County Attorney Lurt has thought best to
have an inquest at WATERFORD to-day, for
which purpose the body is to be exhumed and
examined by medical experts. Some of Jeli-
sons friends suspect that he was murdered
and the body placed on the track, though the
habits Of the man and the last known of him
would indicate that he was run over by the
freight train while lying on the track in fatal
drunken sleep He had always borne bad
| reputation, and was in the habit of drinking
| freely. On the day of his death he had been
at work for Mr.. Day, who lives about a mile
| from the crossing, where the body was found.
He had been drinking cider through the day,
| though Mr., Day asserts that he was sober
| when he left there at 8 o'clock
| 1t would seem that Jellison started for his
home on the road to Centre WATERFORD depot,
| as he called at a house within two hundred
| yards from the place where the body was
| found and attempted to gain admission. A
| family of Swedes live here and there being no
one at home bat two women, thy refused to
| admit him. This was about o'clock, and
was, SO far as is known, the last time the up-
| fortunate man was seen alive. The Rochester
| freight, due at WATERFORD Centre at S.25, was
| about two and half hours late, and was the
| only train that pissed before the discovery of
| the bodq When found the upper part of the
| head aud the mau's hoe were lying on the side
| of the track, while TIE trunk was found be-
| tween the rails some twenty or thirty feet
| beyond.
There is a theory that be was killed in a
| quarrel with some unknown person or persons
after leaving the Swedes' house, and that the
murderers placed the body on the rails before
the passage of the train, for the locomotive
has evident marks of Its bloody work. The
fact that the body was found on sharp curve,
where it was impossible to discover it, gives
some little color to the conjecture.
