A New Alpine Danger.
fChorleS Rurt in T,ondOn Timea I

On the 18th of September three ladies
and two young gentlemen obtained at the
Hotel Pilatus, at Alpnacht, horse and
guide, and reached the summit of the
mountain after six hours hard walking
They rested and refreshed themselves at
the hotel on the mountain, and started
on the downward journey. Before leav-
ing the top the guide asked one of the
gentlemen for some cognac, which was re-
fused. 1t soon appeared that the guide
was intoxicated and worse than useless
He led the horse on which one Of the
young ladies was riding, and so alarmed
her by dragging the animal to the edge of
the path that she got off and continued
the descent on foot.
Once the man would, in the sight of
the party, have sent one horse down a
precipice, but the poor beast realized the
danger and set his feet steadfastly against
going further in that direction. 1t was
now getting dark, and to be left to the
mercy of a drunken guide halfway down
a steep and rugged mountain path was
trying enough; but, to make the matter
worse, the man appeared determined to
go into danger. The ladies and gentle
men therefore hastened on and left the
guide and horse to follow. After much
trouble in finding and keeping to the
path in the darkness, they ultimately got
safe to Alpnacht, and told their story.
The guide did not come in.
The next morning search was made for
the guide and horse, and both were found
dead on the mountain side, having evi-
dently fallen from the path about fifty
feet above. The hotel people tried to
keep the affair from becoming public,
and the guide was buried the next day
without inquest Of any kind; but, hav-
ing still an eye to business, the worthy
host coolly demanded an indemnity for
the loss of the horse from the persons
who had so nearly become the victims of
the guide he had supplied to them. As
yet the claim has not been paid. l
could not ascertain the guides name.

FRATRICIDE.
Dispute Over the Possession Of Gun.

Ending in the Shooting Of One Brother BY
Another.
A terrible and fatal tragedy occurred
about II O'clock yesterday morning near
Cheviot, in Green Township, about seven
miles from Brighton Station, ending in the
shooting and death of thirteen-year-old
boy.
Early in the morning Charles and Frank
Morris, the sons of widow Morris, who lives
in Cheviot. took an old musket for the pur-
pose of going on hunt.
The lads, one of whom (Frank) is now
dead. was thirteen years old, and the other
(Charliel who is still younger, being about
eleven years old, were accompanied on their
hunt by their uncle, Mr.. VIM. Ashley.
After roaming about the fields for some
time, the boys came to MIR. Nathaniel
Getzendamer's farm, short distance north
of the village of Cheviot.
Here, it seems, the BOYS each became
eager about CARRYING the gun. One claimed
that he was entitled to it, while the other
objected. There was soon a war OF words.
Frank took hold of the gun, which Charles
was holding. The latter would not let
oose his hold, and then Mr., Ashley was
uddenly startled by the sharp ring of a
hot from the musket. He ran to the boys
and saw Frank Morris fall to the ground
with the cry of "Oh! Pm shotn' When
the smoke cleared away the poor boy was
lying on the ground with hole in his
right breast from which the red life current
was fast flowing while little Charlie was
standing by holding the gun. The lad was
picked up by Mr.. Ashley and everything
done to stop the flow of blood.
But it was of no use. Within short
time, even before physician could be
summoned, Frank Morris was corpse The
body was removed to the home of the des-
olate widow. 1t was pitiable sight to see
the disconsolate widow and the rest of the
relatives standing around the body of the
slain boy.
Little Charles stated that the gun was ac-
cldentally discharged in the wrangle for
the possession of the musket. He was,
however, arrested, and taken before Squire
Wills, of Green Township. The Squire
last evening began an inquest, and will con-
tinue to-day taking the testimony, as mea-
ger as it is, as there were only three parties
who witnessed the shooting.
Both brothers were bright and intelligent
boys, and had always been on friendly
terms. The shooting has brought sad
gloom over the whole of the village.

The citizens of Hyde Park hive for SONS
time been living under the rule of officers
elected upou Citizen tickets, and pledged to
"ccomony and reform" But the expecta-
lions Of the taxpayers have not been realized,
and the results as measured by the standard
Of retrenchment and honesty have been very
unsatisfactory. They find themselves heavi-
y in debt, and burdened by grieyous TAXI
ton and growing expenditure, which they
find it impossible to reduce By the methods
heretofore resorted to. In town where
there are nearly two Republicans to one
Democrat, they have, in q gush Of frater-
nal feeling, given the latter about two
thirds ct the Offices, and the collecting,
handling, and custody of their. money. The
result is that WA1Dnos, the late Democratic
Treasurer, has-walked off with $114, 900 Of
their funds, leaving behind assests nomlna!}y
worth S25,000, but out Of which only
$4,000 will be realized They consist OF
half-in:erest in certain ooal-cars, for which
5000 has been obtained, and quantity of
unstable real estate, probably worth S., 600

turned over some impecunious bondsmen.

As was intimnted few days ago that be
would, the President yesterday vetoed the
Anti Chinese bill, on the ground that it was
az abrogation Of the fifth and sixth clauses
Of the Bua11sGAatE Treaty, the first prohibit
ing the enforced immigration of the Chinese
to our shores, and the second according to
them in this country the same liberties that
are given to the subjects or citizens of the
most favored nations. After expressing the
opinion that the two nations would undoubt-
edly have amended the treaty By diplomatic
means, the President informs Congress that,
whlle it has the power to terminate treaty,
it has not the power to make or modify.
This privilege is vested in the President BY
and with the consent of the Senate. Only
once did Congress abrogate treaty,-that
with France in 1796: because it was fire.
quently violated by the 1atterPower. Should
China assent to the proposed modification
by Congress, it still would fail to be q CON-
peteat exercise Of authority under the
Constitution. The veto is qnite yolu-
minous and fair example of Secretary
ErARTs' copiousness of language and want of
conciseness. The failure to pass the bill
over the veto m1y prove national calamity,
as it will give the Democrats IN exceedingly
effective weapon with which to enter upon
the next Presidential campaign. Only one
thing can be done to prevent it, and that is
a Encouragement of the treaty by the State
Department aud CHH Ian Pm, the Chinese

Archbishop PuRcE11's disaster grows worse
and worse, aud each days discoveries add
more serious developments. From thou
sands, the liabilities have mounted into the
n,illions,-one, two, three, four, slx millions,
and the bottom is not touched yet. The
claims of Clncinnetians only have so far
been handed in, and there are many outside
of that city yet to come. And against this
horrible, cruel loss there are only 800, 900 Of
assets! Where has the money gone? What
have all these millions been spent for IF
churches have been built with the money,
where are they? II real estate has been
purchased with it, where is it !? If it is in
stocks. and bonds, aad mortgages, where are
they? There have disappeared $3.50, 900,
utterly gone out of sight. The Bishop
could not eat it or drink it. He could not
spend it day by day. We have not heard
that he buried it or that he threw
it into the Ohio River. It has been disposed
Of in some mysterious manner. How2 If
the Bishop does not hold it, who does? He
has heretofore stood very high. He now
owes it to his own reputation and to his
Church to come out and tell where this
money. the savings Of thousands Of Catho-
lies, has gone; otherwise dreadful cloud
must remain upon his official life.

Secretary SEIZURE has earned the eternal
good will and everlasting gratitude OF this
city. Yesterday be announced his decision
in the VALENTINE scrip case, in which he
sets down with oil his weight upon the land
sharks who for several years have been try
ing to rob the city. Of. a piece OF property
worth in the neighborhood of one million.
70 the winds ha scattered the pretentious
plea that the original dedication Was
an illegal act by the Secretary
Of War, and intimates that the
continuous occupation Of the property Of the
Lake Front as public park is in itself suf6-
cient to give title that the Interior Depart
ment cannot attack with any show of Justice
or equity. It is claimed that this decision
will set at rest similar claims made by the
holders of other pieces Of this VALENTINE
scrin.
