The War,

Sueiman Pasha has given up his at
tempt to take Shika Pass by assault and is
now reported to have moved his army to
the north of the Balkans by another route.
If he has done this the effect will be to
heavily reinforce Mehemet Ais army
which is operating against the Russians on
their eastern line.
The fighting along the line to the south
of Rustchuk has been in favor of the Turks
Mehemet Ali having driven the Russians
at Kazalevo on Thursday. The battle was
not one in which large numbers were en-
gagged, however, and there is an unaccount-
able delay on the part of the Turks in fol-
lowing up their success, for they know
that less than hundred miles to the west
the army of Osman Pasha is being hard
pressed.
While the Russians act on the defensive
to the east against Mehemet Ali's troops
along their western line there has been an
important forward movement. On the Sd
they assaulted Savatz, fortified place a
few miles south of Plevna, and succeeded
in driving the enemy away. Later in the
week their main army began closing up
around Plevna, and there was heavy artil-
lery from Thursday on.
Sunday there was severe fighting and II
rumor even that the Russians had taken
the place but this proved untrue, and
severe fighting still continues. The place
of action is the same that witnessed the
Russian defeat of July 3lst and there is no
doabt that the most important contest that
has yet been joined is now in progress be-
tween the armies of Osman PasEa and the
Grand Duke Nicholas, The immediate
prize contended for is the possession of
Plevna but q decisive victory for either
side will be the turning point this years
campaign.

THE GREAT FIRE--INTERVIEwING A TRAhF
-PoLTICAL-BUsINEs
New YORK, Sept. 8, 1877.
MURDER BY MEANNESs.

NEW 1ORk, oepI' o. Ao'''
MURDER BY MEANNESs.
The destructive fire of Hale's Piano Fac
tory cannot be ranked among the great
fires, for it was only one square that was
burned. But so far as the destruction oil
life goes. it will be remembered for years.
Probably one hundred men, women anu
children were burned to death, or were
badly injured. This loss of life was
entirely unnecessary. Here was a great
six story building, full of combustl0les'
and crowded with working people, and the
only means of escape, in case of fire when
was liable to break out at any moment
was a fire ladder at each end and char
escape. So long was the building that 1t
was impossible for those anywhere In the
center to get to the ladder, and of those
who succeeded in passing through the
smoke and flame from burning varnlsh
and paint, only few got outside where
they could use them. Around the narrow,
small windows that opened to the ladders
there was the same jam that blocked the
doors of the Brooklyn theater, and scores
persisted miscrably within few feet OF the
place of escape. A thousand dollars in
iron ladders at proper intervals from each
story would have enabled every person IN
the building to escape. There ought to
be law in every state compelling manu-
facturers who mass large numbers of peo-
pie to 10 this, and make such provision,
and in very liberal manner. Only u year
ago, the same tragedy occurred in facto-
ry in Massachusetts, and in the city of New
York, there are u thousand buildings liable
to go at any time. But it won't be done.
There will be great deal said, the Hale S
when they rebuild will probably put on
their building more ladders, but no one
else will, and in week or TWO there will
be another wholesale destruction of lives.

o. PAsHA.-The newspaper correspond
ents are busy Identifying Osman Pasha,
the Turkish commander. Some of them
had got it settled, to their own satisfac ton
at least, that he was Marshal Bazaine
when new candidate is brought forward,
K. Clay Crawford. If the correspondents
can make the last name stick mystery
will be cleared up, and whole career of
adventure brought to Il strange climax. In
1858, Andy johnson, then Il member of
Congress, appointed Crawford a cadet to
West Point. lie was smart Tennessee lad
of seventeen years, of respectable parent
age. He was good scholar, but his con-
duct was so bad that he was expelled be-
fore the expiration of his term of service.
He went to New York, where he lived
recklessly, and finally started for home
with female companion. At u hotel in
Wytheville, Va, he stole large sum of
money from drover. and was sentenced
to the Virginia penitentiary. His term of
sentence having expired he was released in
1862, and got through the lines into Ten
nessee, where Andy johnson secured
commission for him. Finally he became
colonel of an artillery regiment. In the
army he acquired money and lost repute.
At the close of the war he went to Mexico,
and the Louisville Journal, which gives
this account of him, says he rose quickly
to the rank of general of division; he quar-
relied with Juarez OH account of the Bag
dad affair, which was really nothing more
nor less than freebooting expedition; on
the proceeds of this and other plundering
operations, he appeared in Wall street,
where he struck II streak of luck, making
Il million of dollars in six or eight months;
he bought the magnificent Biddle estate
just out of Philadelphia, lived in great
Splendor and ostentation II few years, nav
ing married a New York lady, and, about
1870, disappeared He has not been heard
of since. He deserted his wife, to whom
the letter Of the correspondent will come
rs the first news of n long-lost husband in
seven years. A Boston man says Craw-
ford had the reputation in the Army of the
Cumberland, Of being an able aud rather
unscrunnious man, and was looked upon
as II renegade. lie was on the staff of
Gen. Joe Reynolds, and that gentleman
says he knows that he entered the Turk
ish service and that he had letters from
him us late as 1873, when he was known
rs Osman Bey.
Still others claim that Osmun is the son
of Musslemen parents. The Boston Ad-
vertiSer thinks he must be Tom Collins.

Judge James Campbell Hopkins, of the
United States District Court for the Eas-
tern District of Wisconsin, who died at
his home in Madison, last Monday, was
born in Pawlet, VT, in 1919, his family,
it is said, being branch of the old Scotch
Irish family of which Bishop Hopkins was
so prominent a member. He resided in
early life in Granville, N. Y. In 1856 he
went to Wisconsin, and had lucrative
law practice, till 1870, when, upon the di-
vision of Wisconsin into two districts, he
was appointed Judge for the Eastern
District of Wisconsin. A notice of him
says: He has discharged the high and
important trust of his office with marked
ability, answering and unchallenged in
tegrity, cool Judgment, and rare impartial
ity, to the honor of his court and his
own private character. His quick intelli-
gence and private worth won him the
life long friendship of William II. Seward,
with whom he was on the closest terms of
intimacy.
