DRIVING THE TURKS FROM THE
FIRS l. LINE OF ENTRENC CHMENTS
HEAVY LOSS OF LIFE ON BOTH
SIDES. #t..g
LONDON, Aug. 21.-A special despatch
from Kunkoara says that the army OF
Gen. Loris Melikoti the divisions of which
were commanded by Gems. Heyman. Devel
and Kamaroff, attacked the Turkish line at
three different points onSunday. The fight
began by furious cannonade from the
Russian batteries all along the line, the
Turkish artillery reply ing with great vigor.
The Russian fire was very well directed,
and did great execution among the masses
of Turkish infantry posted behind their
works. Under cover of this artillery fire
the Russian infantry moved out and ad-
vanced to the attack of the Turks.
The advancing Russian columns were
subjected to aIterrible fire from the Turkish
| batteries. but the men moved brfskly on,
taking advantage of every accident OF
ground that afforded a cove, and their
skirnishers keeping up lively fusilade.
When they came withina short distance OF
the Turkish line they dashed forward and
| swept in on the astonished Turks with an
limpetuosity that oyercame all resistance
After short, sharp struggle the Turks
were driven out of their entertainments al
the bayonet's point. They retired sullenly
on their second line, under cover of brisk
cannonade, which kept the Russians at q
respectful. distance. The second Turkish
line being extremely strong and complete
| ly dominated by heavy batteries on some
heights in the rear, the Russians did moi
make any attempt to capture them.

STILL SUFFRRlNG.-Thei little daughter
of Mr.. smith who was so badly bitten
by dog supposed to be rsbid, on last
Sunday week, is still suffering but for
tupately very slightly. This is the ninth
day since she WAS bitten, and according
TO general opinion the person SO bitten
usually shows symptoms of hydrophobia
within that time. 1t is to be hoped that
the dog that bit her was not rabid.. Last
evening she was rather indisposed, and
it is thought it was the effects of the
medicine that she has haen taking.

"Hold--Enough!"

Miss Kate Claxton is prosecuted wom-
an. She has been peculiarly unfortunate.
She has passed through several fiery
ordeals. She has been singed by the
flames of burning theatres aud hotels, and
then roasted by the press, as fire. tend-
fated promoter Of coDaagarations, and as
a dreamer of dreams of an incendlary
character. Kate Claxton stood these
sauibs and 6re-crackers as long as she
could, without murmur of reply, but she
has been driven into print at last She
publishes letter in New York paper in
which she protests against misrepresenta-
tions made 10 jest, which not only annoy
her, but injure her professional business.
One Of the last stories set afioat about heI
was that of an interview between her and
a New Brunswick doctor, wherein she Is
represented as predicting for herself a
fearful death by fire in holocaust such Al
the world never saw. She states en-
phatically that no such interview ever
took place. This story, she says, has
worked her deal of harm. In pursuit %
her vocation when she stops at a hotel
there is commotion among the boarders
who Immediately procure rope ladders anC
6re-escapes Of EVERY description. Some
times they leave the house In terror A
first she laughed at this as joke, but sue
superstition is very serious matter in thi
enlightened century. The newspapers
too, are feeding the superstition, anc
whenever they mention her they ring in 1
fire to cook up the subject to the publ
taste. She asks a little humane consider
alton that would suppress coarse jests il
view of the new graves made by these
fire calamities, in which she has happened
TO be an individual sufferer.

The Great Western Railway has re-
sumed the running Of their trains over
the Suspension Bridge. For the purpose
of having the bridge tested trains were
stopped from crossing for awhile, and this
gave rise TO the report that the
bridge was unsafe, which report
as the test demonstrates, was without truth
or foundation The Great Western Railway
having always in view the safety and com
fort of its patrons, and for the purpose of
convincing them OF the absolute safety OF
the bridge, has had the entire superstruc-
ture, anchorage and cables thoroughly ex-
amined and tested by board of eminent
engineers, consisting of Messrs L. c.
Clarke, of Philadelphia, w, Ii. Paine, OF
New York, assistant engineer of Brooklyn
bridge,) Charles Macdonald, of New
York, and pronounced by them to be in
as good condition as when first completed
These gentlemen are members of the
American Society Of Civil Engineers in
England. \
The original test of the bridge in 1858,
was with a pressure of 326 tons. That
under the supervision of the board of
engineers named above was 45O tons,
(SO loaded freight cars and engiue) and
the DETECTION was in the same proportion
as IN the trsL test; thus the safety aud
stability OF the bridge was completely de-
mOnstrated to be beyond question,
The panagers OF the Michigan Central
and Great Western Railways (the old fay.
orite Niagara Falls route,) have therefore
resumed the running OF their trains via
Suspension Bridge, affording to passen-
gers, as heretofore, q splendid view of
Niagara Falls while crossing.
The past record OF this favorite through
line is before the public, and assurance
Is given that the future will add new lus-
true to that record. Every modern i'm
proVement that will contribute to the com.
