WASHINGTON, July 29.-Mr. J. M
Heating, Editor Of 1.-THE Memphis Ap
peal" arrived here last evening and
left for New York to join his family
He says that the strict quarantine
against Memphis, established in all the
small towns eastward, on the line Of
the railroad, renders travelling extreme.
ly unpleasant.
Trains are not allowed to stop at
many of the stations, and it is difficult
for passengers to get anything to eat
unless they carry food with them. Mr..
Heating thinks the fever will not rage
in Memphis this year to any great ex-
tent, because a great majority of the
people who remain have already had
the fever; but he fears, and he says his
fear is shared by persons Of experience
in Memphis, that the fever
will work its way northwest along
the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers this
year, and possibly assume an epidemic
form in the Northern river cities.
Mr.. Heating remained in Memphis
through the epidemic last Summer
As the paper is only issuing a alt sheet
now, and as business is utterly pros
trated, he thinks there is no need of
his staying this season.

Her husband is a wealthy manufactur

several times her own age. 1t was on
Monday evening last that the young
girl accompanied her father to the
Brooklyn ferry and kissed him good-by.
She was expected home again in few
hours but she did not come.
She was attired in a black bonnet
black velvet skirt and cashmere OVER
skirt with satin fringe. She had a
gold watch and chain, and wore stone
earrings. All the station houses in
New York and Brooklyn were notified
of her disappearance, and the detec-
tives were set at work. She was traced
to shoe store in Williamsburg as late
as 8 o'clock on Monday evening, but
here all traces ended. The question
arose in her fathers mind where his
daughter had got her money, and then
he recollected that the old manufacturer
had on several occasions given her
money. He went Immediately to the
residence Of the old man, but he h "dnt

of either the girl or the old man until
the marriage notice appeared. The
pair sailed for Europe on Tuesday on

of "We the Peorle,' will give moon.
light excursion on the steamer S. A.
Mccall, this evening down the Delaware
Bay, in honor of the transfer of the
Soldiers and Sailors Monument to the
trustees of the Monument Association.
1t wss altogether through the efforts
made by Mr.. Crozier that $4,000 were
raised to pay off the debt that had plac
ed it under the Saeriff's hammer, and
the old veteran friend of the Soldiers
and Sailors propose to CONNIE norate the
transfer
The excursion is complimentary to
those to whom large cards printed in
red ink have been handed, and which
bear emblematic devices together with
a formidable array of names of the CON-
mlttee of arrangements. The excursion
will leave Fourth street wharf about a
quarter before eight O'Clock. 1t will be
very gratifying to Mr.. Crozier to see a
large number of the widows and orphans
of the soldiers and sailors participate in
the pleasures of a moonlight excursion
gotten up as compliment to them.

An OLD LANDMARK GONE.
1t was Destroyed by Fire Early
This Morning.

This morning about quarter after Two
O'Clock the old stone building on the
odd neglected course of the Kings High
way, now crossed by VanBuren and
Eighth streets, was destroyed by fire.
A few days ago there appeared IN the
REPUBLICAN notice OF the fact that
this old structure being uninhabitable
because Of its age was occupied by
ramps. The building last evening
aust have been filled as usual with
hsse perspatstics and through some
cans or other fire was conveyed to
he old worm eaten wood work, which
eing dry soon spread.
By the time the Fire Department
was brought in services the interior OF
the building was burned out, and the
flames from the elevated position which
ahs structure occupied, shons out over
che city clear and with magnificent
effect. 1t is two stories in height, and
belonged to Mr.. Charles W. Rowland,
and has not been occupied since spring,
the last family being colored.
Instead of its destruction being CON
sidsrsd loss by Mr.. Rowland he was,
on the contrary, quite gratitied to see it
in flames. He had been in dilemma
for some time past, not knowing what
ia do with it, as he wished to dis
pose of the land. There was no iDsur-
ancs. He will now havs the walls ia
ken down and cleared from the spot.

A morning paper has a sensational
article from correspondent who evil
IDENTIFY desires to injure Rev. Mr.. Will
ley, the pastor of the Townsend M. 4.
Church. The extreme views entertained
by the writer, show that his mind is
some~ hat warped by prejudice, and a
careful reading will farther show that
Mr.. Wiley is the victim of deep laid
plot to iDjure him. An informant saws
that frequent attempts have been made
at that place to traduce and ruin the
character of more than one Methodist
The story against Mr.. Will
ley is believed by his friends in and
outside of his church to have been
trumped up against him. We have
been in possession of both sides of the
case ever since the affair was dragged
before the public, but so ridiculous did
the charges against him appear, that
We have refrained from referring to them
minutely.

Like unto Tuesday evesing, the
weather last evening was scarcely in
proper condition for moonlight ex-

river near to Fort Delaware, and then
upwards toward Chester. Those who
desired to listen to music, either vocal
or instrumental, had their wishes graf

American Rifles band. On the return

Another Cashier Gone Wrong

Prescott 6. Pillsbury, cashier of the
Lawrence (Mass,) National Bank, con
fessed to the President on Monday that
he was a defaulter for $64 900, which
he embezzled for the purpose of specu.
lating in mining stocks. The stocks,
he said, were worth about $30,OuO,
making the actual loss TO the bank
s34, 1000, "and everything else was
right" A meeting of the Directors
was callsd and an examination had.
which showed everything to be as the
cashier said.
1t was agreed by the directors to
make good by pro rata assessments upon
themselves any loss which might re-
suit, and Pilsbury was dismissed from
his position. His bondsmen, who are
liable to the amount of $500, 900, are
said to be call responsible" Pills
bury surrendered himself yesterday,
and was committed by the U, S. Com
missioner in default of 500, 900 bail for
a hearing. The defaulter is prominent

THE CAMPAIGN IN ONO.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, July 3O.-The
Hon. Charles Foster, who has been in
this city for two days, started to-
night for Columbus, to enter upon a
systematic course OF visitation through
the State. He has, during the month
of August, all appointment for nearly
every day.
His purpose is to visit every one Of
the SS counties in Ohio before the cam.
paign is over, and become personally
acquainted with the people. His usu.
al method 10 to visit country seat on
the day of Republican County Con.
vention, or some other occasion which
brings people together, make q brief
speech, consult with local managers,
and mingle with the masses.
His success in this kind Of campaign
work ia remarkable. No man, in the
history of Ohio politics, ever succeeded
better In arousing popular enthusiasm
and spirit of work. His meetings thus
far have been very large. The people
receive him with great cordiality. In
some instances farmers have left their
harvests and ridden 20 miles to hear
him speak.
He reports the situation as favorable
beyond his most sanguine hopes. He
thinks there will b. a larger vote cast
than in the Presidential election in
1875, and that the Republican majority
will be q reminder Of old times.
It Is certain that the Republicans Of
the State never were SO aroused and /!
active at this stage Of a campaign. Their
is much further advanced |
than that ofthe Democrats, and there
is better feeling in the ranks. Gen.
Ewing is following Mr.. Fosters plan of
campaign work closely, and since his

Henry had been marl<.a. but had ser

him.
Temporarily, however, sh. went back
to her fathers house, and her husband
returned home. This morning. at the
breakfast table, the two brothers sat
on opposite sides. The subject Of the
compromise came up in conversation,
when Alexander denounced the wife
OF uenry as common prostitute. At
that Henry drew his revolver. His
brother drew another, and both fired at
the same time across the table. Both
shots took effect. One brother died in
Az minutes and the other fingered un-
