THE FALL OF PLEVNA.
The Town CAPTURED by the Russians after
Desperate FiEhtIaE- over Forty Thou-
and prisouers Taken.

The Town CAPTURED by the Russians after
Dc,prrnte FiEhIIaE- Over Forty Thou
sand Prisoners Taken.
The capture of Plevna by the Rus
slams is thus described in the cable dis
matches Osman Pashl crossed the
River Vid, and at half-past seven
O'Clock in the morning assaulted and
carried the outer lines of Fort Dolny
Etropolje, a minor work defending the
road to Widdin. 1t was not very strong
garrisoned, the supports being massed
some d stance in the rear of the fort
and the attack being made in such
dashing way that reinforcements could
not be got up before the first line was
carried. TIE grenadiers of the Imper-
ial Guard were promptly on hand, how
ever. and the redoubtable Osman hurled
his troops against the best men of the
Russian army. The Russian grenadier
corps were holding the line of invest
ment on the left bank of the River Vid.
The attack was made with desperate
energy, and a portion of the Turkish
troops did, in fact, again penetrate the
line of entrenchment and batteries, but
all attempts to break through the posi-
tions of the grenaiiers were Intellectual.
After five hours severe fighting the
Turks were defeated. The Russians
and Roumanians were hurried up from
Susaria and Bukova. After terrible
carnage Osman attempted to re-enter
Plevna, but it had meanwhile been oc-
cupied by Roumanians and Russians
from Gravitza.
Osman on finding himself thus sur
rounded, although wounded in the foot,
personally conducted the negotiations
for a surrender. He expressly an
nounced that he surrendered uncondi-
tionally to the emperor.
simultaneously with the main sortie
the Turks made a feint against the
Roumanian positions on the right banl
of the Vid, but this was feebly con
Quoted, and the Turks in that quarter
surrendered almost INCREASINGLY. TIT
whole Turkish artillery train was cap
tured in the immediate neighborhood o
Plevna. The Russian and Roumanial
armies made triumphal entry into til,
town at half past three in the afternoon
The car, after the surrender of Plevna
placed his own carriage and escort at tn
disposal of Osman Pasha.
Reports from the scene of the battl
place the number of prisoners at owe
10000 and 400 guns. The ground o
which the engagement took place wa
strewn with thousands of dead an
dying, but no accurate estimate {
the dead has yet been received. {
the prisoners, 20, 900 are sick Or wounded
All kilograms agree in declaring thi
the attempted sortie of Osman Pash
from Plevna toward Widdin was mad
with a desperation which has won fc
him the respect of his enemies. H
men had endured all manner of priv
tions within the Invested town. The
had suffered terribly from cold, own
to insufficient clothing from disease
neither doctors nor medicines being
haLd-and from famine.

Remedy that Defies Competition.

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters defy competition
OF the host of rival tonics that have cropped
up during its long career, not one has gained
and retained such large share of public favor,
though many have enjoyed an ephemeral popu-
larity. The reason is this, that whereas many
of these medicines we're advertised to perform
cures Of the most startling nature, they have,
when tested, almost invariably turned out to
be Of little or no value while the great invigor-
rival, has never disappointed those who have
put their confidence in it. 1t has indicated
in the amplest manner its claims to be consid-
cred a positive specific remedy for liver COM
PLANT dyspepsia, malarious fevers, debility,
constipation, and numerous other maladief
arising from general weakness and disorders OF
the stomach, liver and bowels.

The Arizona Miner tells laughable
story of two friends who were recently
attacked by Indians in that Slate. They
were both on mules aud the arrows were
whistling by them in clouds. The mules
were of unequal powers of speed, and
the foremost man sang out, " Joe, why
don't you come along?" Joe, whose
arms and legs were flying in the air like
runaway windmill, replied, as an ar
row grazed his ear, "Do 1 look like a

Sam and Alexander Csuthorn, coIored,

the leader, is the owner of low house

his guilt was obtained by woman in
his own house, who heard st. CLAIR talk
ing 10 one of his associates about their
failure in the Long Point business. The
prison ers were taken to Prairie City,
Illinois, to-day for trial.
The woman, Jennie Osgood, was dress

TIE action of the Democratic caucus

cision of the Oregon case in the House

looks ss though Mr.. DAVID
DUDLEY FIELD is to be
the leader of the revolt. Mr.. FIELD
has displayed more tact, ssgasity and
Courage than any of bis colleagues, and
is very we'll calculated to make a lead

DALI Observes, it is q time for grave
deliberations, but Mr.. FIELD seems
to regard promptness in action of
more essential value at this

If the House adopts the fllibustering
policy, il will be an easy matter to run
the fight along until next Saturday night,
when the session will close. and no cleo
tion. 1t is harsh remedy, but the
singular provocations will justify it in
