The Chinese Letter-Indfctments by the
 Grand Jury.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 3--Among the indict ments brought into the Court of General Sessions to-day, where Judge Cowing was presiding, none excited more general interest than those against Samuel Sullivan Mercy for perjury, and against Joseph Hart, Louis Post, Kennard Philip and Charles L. Byrne, manager and editors of ITuth newspaper, for criminal libel, in 'maliciously and wickedly'' publishing and circulating certain commu- nication purporting to have been written by James A. Garfield, President-elect of the United States of America. The specification in the indictment against Mercy was, in sub stance, ''That on November 1 Samuel Mercy did give testimony before Justice Davis, sit ting in the Supreme Court in the Philip mat ter to the effect that in the autumn of 1878, and spring thereof, one Henry l.. Mercy, whom he claimed to be his uncle lived in Lynn, Mass, and that he went with him on a journey from Lynn to Boston, whereas in truth and fact the said Henry l.. Mercy and the circumstances mentioned by the witness had no existence whatever"
 After the adjournment of the court the traversers with their counsel came to the District Attorneys office and offered to give bail for their appearance on trial. Assistant Attorney Bill was not in position to entertain the question until after consulting with Judge Cowing, when the amount of bail vii be fixed and necessary preparations made for trial

Hanging of a Murderer.

Hanging of a Murderer.
 CLEVELAND, Dec. 3.--John Callahan was hanged at Wooster to-day for the murder of Benjamin Tormie on October 20, 1870. Cal lahan was one of gang of rufians at an ag- ricultural fair, who set upon a young man named Frank Martin. Tormie went to- Mar tins rescue, when Callahan stabbed him in the back, inficting mortal wounds. Of the rest of the gang, James Sadlier has been sen fenced to the penitentiary for nineteen years; Alexander McGown, senior and junior, twelve years each, and Michael Burke and Michael Mulreadys were never arrested, having fled. Callahan, though only twenty-two years of age, bore bad reputation, and was regarded as desperado. He was calm during his last days. Last night his spiritual advisers re- mained with him till 10 o'clock, and the sheriff till 9 after which he retired and slept soundly until morning. He ate a hearty breakfast with apparent relish.

Collar of Retl-Hot Iron-A WOrkman's
 Nerve Saves His Life.
 PITTsBURG, Dec. 3.-A thrilling accident occurred at the American Iron works yester- day afternoon. While Robert Moore was at his rolls his catcher failed to seize with his tongs bar of white hot iron which had been placed between the rolls. The iron twisted itself thrice around the roll, forming 'co1- lar" The catcher struck the iron, when there flew off piece in the shape of a ring, with a stem twenty inches long running off at right angles to the circle. The band flew back and fell around Moore's head, resting on his shoulders. Quick as thought he grabbed the long stem with his tongs, and the white-hot ring with his hand and with steady nerve and gentle movement lifted the fiery thing from his shoulders. His face was badly burned, and the flesh of his hand was cut in to the bone. After the iron had cooled he put the ring over his head; it was but two inches larger in diameter than his

 The Czar Invaded at Lfvadfa.

 The Eastern Imbroglio-Dissolutfo of the Combined FIeet-A Political Point for the Sultan.
 LONDON Dec Notwithstanding the statement that Greece would invade Turkish territory if the international fleet were dis banded that important step has been taken. British Vice Admiral Seymour, commanding the squadron, has notified the admira1s of the ironclads of the other powers of the inn mediate dissolution of the combined fleet. The English vessels will leave for Malta to- morrow and the French vessels for Toulon. It is understood, however, that quasi naval combination shall continue until further mo- tice
 The Agence Russe, journal which, al though often rebuked by the government, is quite often furnished with trustworthy in formation, today makes the important dec-
 
 of England in regard to the course to be ultimately pursued concerning the Eastern question, but places above her own preferences the maintenance of European concert, which the Russian govern ment holds to be sole guarantee of peace. This declaration is believed here to be semi official and is in perfect harmony with the action of the powers in temporarily sepa- rating the international fleet, to which arrangement Russia gave in her con- currence. Much satirical comment is made on the position of the combined powers as now made known, the prevailing opinion be- ing that the Sultan has secured another prac- tical victory over the fearful and mutually distrustful signatories to the Berlin treaty.

Work of the Life Saving servt (

WASHINGTON Dec. 3.-The annual report of the general superintendent of the life sav- ing service has been submitted to the Treas ury department. The report shows that the establishment embraced at the close of the fiscal year 179 stations, of which 139 were on the Atlantic, 34 on the lakes and on the Pacific. The record of the service surpasses that of any yet made. The highest former number of disasters was that of the previous year, being 219. This year the number ag- gregates nearly 100 more. The highest num- Der of vessels totally lost was 55, in the fiscal year ending 1879. The number last year was ST. In addition the life saving crews as- sisted of when stranded, got out of dangerous positions and piloted to places of safety 128 vessels, sometimes working in conjunction with other wrecking agencies, but generally by themselves and ships com panieS alone. The number of casualties upon the Atlantic coast within the scope of the service was one less than in the previous year, ,Sbeing 162; while on the lakes the number is more than doubled, being 136 against 5 of the year an- terior In these 136 disasters only single life was lost. The total loss of life within the scope of the service is the smallest reached since it's general extension
 The report states that the suc- cesses of recent years have brought the merits of the service into more prominent relief both at home and abroad, the concessions of it's superiority being gen orally now everywhere made, and applica- tions have been received for aid in extending the American system in foreign countries This pre-eminence the general superinten- dent declares cannot be maintained unless a greater hberality is shown in making appro- priations for the support of the establish ment,
