MARROW GAUGE.
Cincinnati Dispatch to chicago Tribune.

Cincinnati Dispatch to Chicago Tribune.
The narrow gauge railroad convention
began its sessions at the Look house in this
city to-day. While everybody down in the
city wes swel!ering with the heat and al.
proceeded comfortably and lcisurely to
work. The attendance was not as large as
expected, owing TO the excessive heat pre-
vailing over the country. Tte-e are pro-
badly 200 delegates now present and few
more are expected. The object of the con-
yentlon, as stated by Col. Hubert, chairman,
is to practically compare the cost of the two
systems. standard and narrow gauge, the
power and speed Of locomotives, the capaci-
ty, comfort, and safety passenger rolling
stock, the capacity of freight rolling-stock,
the question of dead weight, the operating
expenses of the two gauges, how far narrow
gauge savings on first cost, interest account,
dead weight. wear and tear, repairs, mater
ials of repairs, and taxes, affect passenger
and freight rates, end to practically demons
trate TO the full satisfaction of capital that
narrow gauge roads in favorable localities,
economically constructed and operated, are
good and safe investments. The convcn.
ton was addressed today by Josiah Kirby,
of the Cincinnati board of transportion
Maj Ben. Butterwolth, John Lee, and 9th
crs. Mr.. Lee predicted that within ter
years there would be over 10000 miles o.
narrow guage road in operation in the United
States. Maj. Butterworth said: "The mar
row system is solving the problem of cheaE
transportation and establishing just pro
portion between the cost of products to the
producer and consumer. 1t is furnishing
increased employments to those who have
been by labor saving machinery, and BY

AFTER FRANCIS MURPHY.

There is fierce row going on among the
temperance folks Of New York city, in
which the notorious Francis Murphy is O
conspicuous character, lie has his follow
ers and defenders; but the class arraycd
against him are terribly in earnest, and
some Of them heap upon his head the most
scorching abuse, and Trades Of dcnuncia-
ton that are growing hot and Kissing.
Among others Mrs. Emma Gates Conklin
comes to the front, and addressing a large
audience of temperance people, deilv-
cred herself about as follows:
1t was useless, she said, to get out of pa
tience with Mr.. Murphy. She had attend
ed his meeting Sunday evening, and was
greatly pcrpleXcd on hearing his unkind
remarks about Mr.. Gibbs, At one time
the Helping Hand association had desired
to support him, and had passed resolutions
to that effect. But the association had
learned Enthusiastically that it was less the
cause of temperance than of Francis Muir
ply himself that he had espoused. He was
the alpha and omega Of his own work. He
must have seen the resolutions passed by
the Helping Hand, and doubtless he liked
them. because above all else he liked fiat
tery--not quite above all else though, he
liked money better. He WAS satisfied when

THE NED Observation-Disclosures
SCRApE

The Kentucky papers have revived the
Ned Buntline alias IudsOn and Portertield
affair, that took place in Nashville nearly
forty years ago. The Paducah News gives
the following version, which is, in the
main, correct The News says:
Judson killed Porterfcld at Sulphur
Springs, near Nashville, after Porterteld
had shot at him twice, in open daylight
and not at night, AS the Commercial cor
respondent has it. Judson was arrested.
taken to the Courthouse tried and acqdit-
ted, As he left the Courthouse an excited
mob, headed by Portertield's brother, pur-
sued him across the square. As he ran to
the old City Hotel, and before reaching
the door, at least ten shots had been fired
at him. When he entered the door he
stumbled, throwing his head forward Just
ia the nick of time to escape bullet from
Il pistol which exploded so close to his
head as to burn off his hair He was
closely pursued up stairs and ran on the
second story porch which was covered with
lattice work. To get away from his
pursuers he attempted to climb
down the lattice work, but when
about half way down he fell to
the pavement, Some friends in the
crowd then hurried him off to Jail to pro-
tcct him from the mob. After dark the
mob took him out Of Jail and hung him,
but some friend cut the rope and he was
spirited away, by whom no one knew how
or where While this was Transporting at
Nashville Judsons wife was lying at the
point of death at McGraws hotel ut Smith
land, where she had been slowly dying of
consumption, most of her wants being pro-
vidcd for by the Misses Cowper, who lived
n short distance above Smithland. Mrs.
Porterfcld was not such u terribly beauti-
full women as the correspondent represents
her. She was the daughter of DIR. Figures,
who, after the tragedy, moved from Nash
vile to Clarksvilc, where he married Miss
Lizzie Nash, and afterwards moved to this
city, where he resided for some time The
wrong man was undoubtedly killed in the
Nashville tragedy.
The rope was not cut, but broke from
Ned's weight, twice. When the miserable
man fell TO the earth the second time, a
number of the more humane members of
the mob intcrfcrcd, and passing Ned to the
hands of his friends, saved his life. With
this correction, the facts above stated tally
almost exactly with the story communica.
ted to us personally by Ned Buntlne him
self, nearly thirty years ago.

There arrived in Washington last Sat
urday sailor who reported himself as
William Builder, a survivor Of the steamer
Huron, wrecked neara year ago, At first
he was supposed to be lunatic or an in
poster, but straightforward story, told with
a sort of dizziness, not to say stupidity, at
length convinced the officers of the Navy
Department that he was in truth what he
represented himself to be, He had dashed
himself to spar with his handkerchief;
another seaman, Spaniard, chung to the
spar with him, and they drfted out to sea.
The other soon became exhausted and was
lost, He was picked up by the Norwegian
bark Forto, and was sick and exhausted
during the voyage. He was placed in "a
hospital in Norway, where he remained
six months On his recovery he took pas
sage on the bark Forto, and arrived at Bal
timore the 4th of November. Of the lIuron's
officers he remembered only Capt. Simons
and Ensign Young, Secretary Thompsoie
is convinced that he is a genuine survivor
of the Huron. Later,-Mr. Buder is indeed
an impostor He will doubtless go South
now.

ALARM ABOUT ICE.

QUINCY, Ill, November 2l.--AnXiety
about securing crop OF ice here during the
winter is already beginning to be manifest
ed. The old stock is nearly exhausted, and
the brewers have very little left The en-
tire space for cutting ice in Quincy bay has
already been leased, and more ice-houses
are up than can be filled from the surface
of the bay, unless the winter proves to be a
very hard one. To provide against the con-
tingency of an open winter, ice barges are
being shipped to various points up the river
with view to being loaded there if needed.
