after which the flames of the burning build
 ings attracted their attention. Yesterday
 Justice Caperon, while inspecting the prem
 ises, found gun that was discharged, and soon after discovered the body of the mur- dered man in the well. Schmidt had been killed instantly by gunshot which literally shattered one side of his head, splintering the left jaw and entering the brain. The house and barn were seen on fire by the neighbors thirty minutes after the shooting was heard. Schmidt was about thirty years of age and lived alone on the premises, being unmarried. He arrived from Germany re- gently. He had brother2in Connecticut and a cousin in Greenville, N. J., whence he came here three weeks ago. His watch and Yevol- yer are missing. In the ruins of the house his trunk lock was found broken and the clasp wrenched off. It is believed the murderer plundered the house after the crime. The skeleton of dog in the ruins was also found where it had been thrown after being taken from the dog house. A pool of blood fifty feet from the house indicates that Schmidt was sleeping outside on the lawn and when the persons approached to pilfer the place were discovered they were fired upon by Schmidt with his revolver. They then used a shotgun with deadly effect, then cast the remains in the well. Schmidt's empty purse with the clasp broken has been found near the house.

 Probable Loss of Life Caused.
 CHICAGO, July "A dispatch from Quincy, H., says that the most intense excitement prevails in that part of the country inun- dated by the breaking of Say Levee. This embankment protected an extent of coun- try seventy miles long and from five to twelve miles wide. Yesterday fully one- third of this area was under water The crevasse at the Cincinnati side is half a mile wide, and other breaks have occurred. Mir.

Watkins Glen and the Glen Mountain
 House.
 large number of people are reported at the Glen Mountain House at Watkins Glen. The house is under the management of H. H. Van Meter & Co.,, one of whom is Wm. c. Longstreth, wealthy resident of Phila- delphia. The Glen Mountain Houseis a first class summer resort. It was completely renovated for the present season.
 Those who love the most charming of American scenery cannot fail to find an un- failing source of pleasure in a visit to this wonderfully beautiful region, with its match less lake, its magnificent glens, and number less excursions on land and water, by rail, carriage or boat
 To those who are unacquainted with the scenic attractions and beauties of this won der of nature, it need only be said that it is a delightful place, and that many of it's most remarkable scenes, when viewed for the first time, appear to the beholder more like en- chantment than reality. It is estimated that the number of visitors this season will not fall below 5000.
 Prehistoric Acknowledgements from Arf-
 
 Prof. w. P. Blake, of this city, while on his recent trip to the Pacific slope, visited the prehistoric ruins in the valley of the Gila in Arizona, and brought back some very inter esting relics, which he has deposited in the Connecticut Museum of Art in the State House, where they have already been seen by many ladies and gentlemen of this city and other places. Among the specimens are a part of stone axe and piece of timber out of the venerable walls of a ruined building erected in the prehistoric age. The Indians in that valley, who are friendly and perhaps might be called half-civilized, attribute the ruins to the Spaniards He brought with hin l also pieces of pottery which were unearthet by the borrowings of squirrels. The piece. are decorated in an artistic manner. They show that considerable progress had been at I tcined in the art by whoever decorated them | While among the ruins Prof. Blake met al | areIaologist of London, England, who wa visiting the ruins and endeavoring to nego 1 tiate with men belonging in the region to make explorations. The Indians in the vi ! cinity are the Pimos.

Turkeys Attitude Towards Greece = A
 Franco-EngIish Protectorate.
 LONDON. July 2.-The attitude of Turkey in respect to the late decision of the Berlin supplementary conference setting of DOT tion of territory to Greece is so perverse and warlike that both England and France have agreed to despatch squadrons with orders to cruise off the Greco-Turkish coast The mis- sion of these fleets will be merely preventive and in the first instance supervisory. but in ease the Sultan makes a naval demonstration against any Gre clan port, the English and French fleets will protect the latter 'svi ct armis" and succor any fugitives who may be endeavoring to escape from Turkey until matters become settled. It is further proposed in sending out these squadrons to impress Turkey with the fact that the powers are in earnest in enforcing the conclusions of the conference, and that she can neither openly resist or at tempt to violate the decision of the confer ence or delay without bringing on war in which she must certainly be defeated if not wholly dismembered. The conference has also decided that the channel between Carfu and Epirius, and that between Valoi, Arha and Prenesa, must hereafter remain open to the ships of all nations.
 A Constantinople dispatch says the Porte is making arrangements for a partial mobili- zation of the army and is ostentatiously send ing large quantities of warlike stores to Sa- lonica It is believed that Greece will play waiting game.

The French Jesuits-A Preliminary Legal Decision.

LONDON, July "A Paris dispatch to the Times, dated last night, says ''On the 2d instant discussion on the anti-Jesuit degrees is looked for in the Chamber of Deputies si- simultaneously with the presentation of the report of the committee on the plenary am- nesty bill in the Senate. Meanwhile, the chief judge of Lille has already overruled the objection of the prefect to the jurisdiction of the ordinary tribunals. In a judgment de- ivered to-day he declared that the legality of the decrees being challenged, though not directly in question, it is for the civil tribu- nals to decide the point, and that, the Jesuits having been Expelled without any judicial prosecution and the expulsion being act not coming within the ordinary administra- tive functions the case came within his ju- risdiction. He accordingly fixed the 2d inst. for the pleadings. This amounts simply to the oyerruling of the demurrer, and does not prejudge the main issue, namely the legality of the decrees. The Archbishop of Avig- non offered hospitality to number of ex- pelled Jesuits, but on receiving an emphatic dispatch from M. Coustans, Minister of the Interior and of Worship, promised they should leave the palace in the course of the day

The Indians-Prospect of 8 Peaceful
 Season.

The 1nd1ans-ErOSpeet or a Peaceful
 Season.
 WASHINGTON, July 2.-In conversation at the War office to-day the opinion was ex- pressed by prominent officer of the army that there would be very little if any further trouble with the Indians during the present summer and fall for the reason that in all the fights between the Indians and troops during the present season the former have been badly punished The reports that the Navajoes are in state of ferment is not credited here, as the latest official advices report these Indi- ans as quiet and peaceable. In the North the fears some time since entertained that Sitting Bull and his band would incite an Indian war by crossing the border in force sometime during the summer have been entirely dissi- pated by the surrender of the most formida- ble portion of the band in partial starving condition with certainty that the remain der will surrender at an early day. Tn e troops in the Indian country have recently been reinforced and placed in frst-class con dition in every respect, and so distributed as to command every available point for an h. dian rally.

 The Transfer of Official Patronage.
 WASHINGTON, July 2.-Secretary Sherman $

WASHINGTON, July 2.-Secretary Sherman $ explanation of his recent order transferring all patronage of the internal revenue bureau from General Raum is that it was necessary to make the practice uniform in all branches of the Treasury, that the plan had been in contemplation for some time and that it does not in any way tend to create i'll feeling be- tween him and General Raum. Commissioner Raum says in regard to the matter that the Secretary has only acted under the law with the discretionary powers conferred on him thereby. He further says that neither Secre- tary Sherman nor the President have even in dicated to him any dissatisfaction in regard to his recent participation in politics.
