One man was killed and several were seriously

A SANTA FE dispatch of the 18th
states that Major Morrow caught up with Vic
toria's band on the head waters of the Per-

man killed and several wounded.

The New York Graphic of the 18th
had a report from Menlo Park to the effect
that the carbon horseshoes, the main reliance
of Mr.. Edison in perfccting his electric light,
had failed, and that in consequence he had
decided to suspend their further manufacture.
Mr.. Edison, however, was not down-hearted.
Another report was to the effect that Mr.. Edi-
son denied that the lamps had gone out and
that the carbon horseshocs had brok en-; it
was true that some of the lamps had been
cracked, and that air had thus gained en-
trance to the flame, but this did not affect his
invention, and was only mechanical fault
trouble with the glass, which he hoped, by
continued experiments, to remedy.
Mr.. LAMsoN, President of the Fusion
Senate of Maine and claiming to be Acting
Governor, notified the Sheriff of Kennebee
County on the 18th to remove his deputies
from the State-House. That official declined
to recognize his authority and ordered his
men to remain at their posts. On the same
day Mr.. Lamson filed in the Supreme Court d
paper protesting against the consideration by
that body Of the questions submitted to it by
the Republican members, whom he desig'
mated as an illegal and revolutionary body.
During the day General Chamberlain issued q
circular to the people, assuring them that
