NEW YORK, Aug. 3.--Wm. B. Ogden
died in this city this morning, aged ~.
He was the first Mayor OF Chicago, and
the first President ofthe U. 2. II. r.
BALTIMORE, Ang. 3.-,James II. HUFF,
said to represent himself throughout the
country as James II. Porter, secret service
detective has been arrested on charge of
swindiing. Huff figured in conspiracy to
rob the tomb Of Lincoln. He says in a
statement found with him that Col. Garri-
son, johnny Irving and Billy Forester, al
now In the States Prison, murdered Benz.
Nathan in New York some years ago.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 3.-The corners jury
in the case OF the persons killed In the late
riot by ne nbers of the 9th regiment came
to the conclusion that the soldiers being
demoraized, great deal of unnecessary
firing was done on Baltimore street. The
responsibility for the killing rests entirely
with the rioters who attacked the soldiers.
New YORK, Aug. 2.-The "rimes"
special at Olenitzla says: The. second at
tack OH PDeviM was not begun until July
30th, and was continued through the 3lst,
also resulting finally in the reverse which
seems SO olninous for the Russians. Your
correspondent in the letter above referred
to speaks of various other encounters, but
of a preliminary nature in which the Rus
sialis wele badly beaten, but no particu-
lars OF these affairs nor indeed the fact that
such has occurred, is permitted by Rus
sian authorities to be telegraphed, so jeal-
ously 30 they guard against the transmits
sion of reports of events resulting so un-
favoaby to their troops. The defeated
Russians are now falling back upon their
centers dishartencd and at length thor
oughly convinced by their severe lessons
that their march to Constautinople Is by
no means an easy one. The Car who,
though always making great show Of
confidence, is the reverse Of sanguine, and
overwhelmed with grief at these disasters.
London is wild over the belief that the
Russians have been decisively defeated on
both tlanks and the campaign snbstanti-
ally ended for the present season in favor
OF the Turks.
ATHENS, AUG. 3.-Sixteen thousand
rifles have arrived from Austria. A regi-
ment of engineers LETT last night for Lamia
and another point Oh the frontier. War
is considered probable.
The London "Times" considers that
this weeks work means either the prose-
cution of the war with immensely in
creased forces and most stubborn resolu-
tion on the part Of Russia or else the ac-
quiescence of that power in failure which
changes all its relations to its neighbOrs.
Some important moves on the political
chess board are now expected. The more
pressure the Car feels the more he will be
inclined to summon to his aid the lesser
nati0naltilites. Austria has shown that
she holds the fate Of the Bulgarian cam
pgign in her hands. The slightest mem
ace on her part would compel the Russians
to recross the Danube and conquer the
Austrian army bofore they could proceed
with their operations against the Tu rks.
For the time being England is out of the
range of the complications, and can afford
TO remain quiet so long as there is . pros
pect OF the continental powers having TO
defend their interests.
VICTORIA, Aug. 3.-W. f. Peck, q me-
diun who has been giving seances in this
city for some days and bringing up what
purpQrted to be the forms of dead persons,
was trapped last night. His hands and
arms were enCasel I'm the mulfS uSpl IN
prevent dangerous lunatics doing mis-
chief. and he was placed In cabinet. At
ter the lapse Of an hour he was taken
ont in an exhausted state, having been un-
able to produce amy manifestations, al
though he had made strenuous efforts to
free himself.
