Later dispatches from India
force the conclusion that the
disaster to General Barron's command
has been greatly ma2nifed. Little or
no impression has been made upon the
natives either at Csbul or in Indis, and
this fact, coupled with the news that no
pursuit OF the defeated troups was made
by Ayoob Khan, will do much to allay
the excitement in England. Still, strong
reinforcements will be sent to India,
the first detachment sailing from
Portsmouth tomorrow. A serious acci.
dent occurred in the Boulevard St. Mi.
chael, Paris, Saturday, caused by the
bursting Of sewer. At netime it was
feared that several houses would drop
down into the catacombs, the ancient
quarries which underle great portion
OF the French metropolis. In . re-
cent conflict with the Albanisns, the
Montenegrins are reported to have met
with serious defeat. On leaving the

Going IL Heavy on Water.

NEW YORK, July 31.-Dr. Tanner
was quietly sleeping in his cot at l:!5
Pm. yesterday afternoon when q gem
tleman called with twelve bottles OF car
bolic acid water and demiiohn otpuri'
fled croton water for him. A lew min
utes later the faster awoke and sitting on
one side of the cot accepted the gilt. tie
drank two ounces Of mineral water and
thea laid down again until lilo, when
he got up and put on his shoes, and al
ter drinking an ounce OF purified water
went down stairs to the main
hall, where he rested. AT 4:l5 the doc
tor took drive and returning to the
Clarendon Hall shortly after Z, the
doctor clambered into a chair on table
at the window, and~ remained there
nearly an hour: while there he was
given an ounce OF Croton water, and he
soon after vomited. The effort OF re-
leiving the stomach seemed to exhaust
him. He stepped down from his eleya-
ted perch at $40 p. NJ. and going to the
south gallery, undressed and retired ior
the night, and at a late hour he was ap-
parently asleep. Outside OF being
trifie weaker and more irritable the doc
tor showed no change in his condition.
The total quantity OF water usei during
twontv.four hours, ending at midnight,
was about half pint.

THE LETTERS.
HOW THEY ARE VIEWED FROM BOTH
SIDES OF THE FENCE.
What the Moulders Of Public Opinion Think
Of the Documents Wherein the Demo-
cratic Nominees Announce
Their Acceptance.
OPINIONS OF ALL SORTS Of PAPERS.

B low will be found the comments OF
the press-Democratic, Republican and
Independent-on the letters wherein
General w. s. Hancock and Hon. VIM.
H. English formally announce their
acceptance OF the Democratic nomina-
tions for the Offices OF President and
Vice President OF the United States.
The Democratic and Independent press
is enthusiastic over both documents,
and Hancock's short, sharp and decisive
letter is especially commended as being
far superior to the tedious and labored
epistle put forth by the Republican can
didate. The latter contains no inspiring
battle cries-no sentence or phrase
which could be caught up
by his friends and used
as a watchword for his party, while the
former abounds with such. Here is a
cIpital war cry: "a full vote, free
ballot and a fair count" Here is an.
other: "Let US cultivate friendship, not
animosity;" and here, in substance, is
another: at is my duty to take care that
the laws be faithfully and equally exc
cuted in all parts Of the country alike"
The letter will furnish many campaign
texts between now and November.

A Little Excursion They Did Not Bar
gain For.

YOUNGSTOWN, o, July 3i.-To-day an
imprisoned balloon that had been used
here for short excursions by a man
named Henry broke loose from the guy
ropes at half.past five o'clock and start
ed skyward. In the small basket at
tached to the gigantic air ship were two
persons, a man and woman, who came
in town to-day from the neighboring
country. There was large crowd OF
people standing around the guy ropes
at the time it broke, and a cry OF terror
rose from them all.
The balloon darted upward with mar
velous rapidity. At first the occupants
Of the frail car did not realize that the
balloon had broken away from its
moorings, but when they glanced down
and saw the earth rapidly receded, they
gestured piteously 10 the crowd below,
as il imploring assistance. When the
balloon had reached a high altitude 1t
drifted in a northeasterly direction. IL
was followed by many people with tele.
scopes, and finally disappeared in that
direction. Word has been sent to all
towns lying to the northeast OF this
place, and lookout will be kept for the
balloon tonight in case it should driit
near the earth. There was q greal deal
OF gas in it, snd it is feared 1t will drllt
up TO the lake.

A MYSTERY.
The BOdyOf a Beautiful Young
Lady Found Floating I'm White
River. Ind.

SEYMOUR, IND, July 3l.-Coroner
Brown was notified this morning that
the body OF a woman was caught in u
drift in White River about one mile
north OF this place. The coroner i'm
mediately left for the river, and on ex.
animation found it to be the body Of
Miss Belle Bates, young and handsome
lady OF this city, who has q been
missing since Sunday last. The body
was much swollen and terribly disfigured
the buzzards having eaten tho nose off
and tore chunks OF flesh from the ex-
posed portions OF the corps. On the
lett hand was diamond ring and an
amethost ring, and by these
the body was identified. Miss
Bates left her home last Sun
day afternoon to visit lady friend, at
whose house she stayed until about t
O'Clock, when she lett, saying she was
going home. About two years ago she
suddenly left home and for some time
her family knew nothing of her where
abouts. This fact led them to believe
that she had gone away in a
similar manner this time and
would in due time return, con-
sequently nc vigorous measures were
taken to find her. She was handsome
woman and was, it is said, soon to be
married to young and fiourishing bus'-
ness man here. No cause can be as
signed for the rash act, as she said moth
ing to any one concerning trouble, nor
left any explanation behind.

A Lively Time I'm Peoria, Ills.

PEORIA, July 3l.-For some time past
quite a controversy has been going on
between the Union Elevator Company
and the Peoria and Jacksonville Rail.
road Company in regard to the right OF
possession to some switches and ap-
proaches leading from the main track Of
the above road to the elevator. The C.,
b. & @ X. r being largely interested in
the Elevator Company, and took up q
fight in their behalf a week or 30 ago.
They began tearing up the railroad track
in controversy. whereupon the p. & J.
got out an injunction restraining the
C., b. d q. from tearing up the track.
The case was heard before Judge Nc.
Colloch, Friday, and the injunction was
dissolved. This morning large force
OF the c., B. < q men we're set to work
tearing up the side tracks, and the p. q
]. made an attempt 10 resist them which
proved futile, the G., B. & Q. force TAX
ing up about 600 feet OF the track. Dur
ing the iracas half dozen box cars were
smashed up. Finally the city authori.
ties interfered and put about eighty OF
the laboprs under arrest for riotous and
tumultous conduct and malicious mis-.
chief. Thev were tried and dismissed.

THOSE LETTERS.
How They were Received by the Politi-
clans at the Seat of Government

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The letters OF
General Hancock and VIM. II. English,
accepting respectively the Democratic
nominations OF President and Vice Pres
ident. were to-day the theme OF consid-
erah.e gossip in the several Executive
departments OF the Government. 1t Is
conceded by Democrats and Republi-
cans alike that Hancock letter is model
OF brevity, and what it continued Is ex-
pressed with the vi9or which marks all
the public writings OF this distinguished
soldier. The criticism placed upon it by
the Republicans is that the candidate
makes no declaration upon the Financial
topic, and fails to treat OF several I'M
portant features OF the Democratic plat
form. This is met, however, by the TACT
that the candidate indoises the plat
form, aud it speaks for itself sufficiently
without further Interpretation. There
is no manner OF doubt but the Republi-
cans are disappointed in the letter They
had hoped that blunder of some kind
would be made and that Hancock would
show weakness toward the South. The
letter OF English evokes a good deal OF
criticism. 1t is held by the Republicans
to be undignided, Democratic fusi-
lade and a declaration OF sentiments
which would sound better on the
stump than in a deliberately pre-
pared writing. II is on all
sides, though, conceded to be emphatic
enough to Oe understood and is not pro-
mulgated solely with the view OF catch
ing votes. The theory with many is,
that owing to Hancock's position in the
army, he didn't care to write more
elaborate "card," but that he delegated
that duty TO the tail of the ticket, and
indorses all that the Vice Presidential
nominee has TO say. The President read
the letter at the breakiast-table, and in q
conversation with a caller to-day, gave
il as his opinion that General Hancock's
acceptance was, to say the least, digni-
tied AMI in exceeding taste. The Demo-
Gratis generally are pleased with both
letters, the disposition OF the Bourbons,
however, leaning more to that OF English
than OF Hancock, because it says more
and gives the Republicans an epistolary
drubbing.
