EASTERN WAR CLOUD.

LONDON, Aug. 14.-Following is
verbatim copy of an important dis
patch received by the daily News
from it's correspondent at st. Peters
burg last night:
81 have grave reason to believe
that Ayoob-Kh has been acting in
concert with and assisted by Abdun-
ahan Khant. That worst suspicious
are not without some foundation, I
would not send such disconcerting
intelligence except on the most seri-
Gus gror- Ids"
The expression ''worst suspicious"
probably refers to Russian intrigues,
possibly to rrmors of actual co-ope-
ration with Ayoob Khan.
LONDON, Aug. IA Vienna dis
patch to the Manchester Guardian
says that according to reports from
Bucharest five thousand Russians ale
concentrating near Bendor, to be
ready in the event of an action in
Bulgaria. The transportation OF
munitions, horses, commissary stores
and troops is continually going on
near the Roumarian frontier. A
steamer arrived at Galatz, Saturday,
with Russian artillery and ambu-
lances destined for Bulgaria. It is
stated from another source that the
Russians are concentrating at Rodsi.
yilloff on the Austrian frontier.

ENGLAND.

LONDON, Aug. 14.-The house of
commons yesterday passed the en-
ploye's liability bill through the COM
mittee and the bill will have it's third
reading Monday.
Earl Granville, foreign secretary,
informed the house of peers that the
government expects to send up to it
the employees liability bill early
next week and the hare's and
rabbits bill before the end of
next week. Mr.. Gladstone
will come to London from Windsor
to-day to attend the cabinet council
and then leave for Hamburg.
A Reuters dispatch from Constan-
tirople says Abeddin Pasha has in.
tervened ambassadors to ask for the
prolongation of the term accorded
by the powers for surrenderine e
Tusco and Dullina.
LONDON, Aug, 14-There was 8
home rule demonstration at Glas-
gov to-day, which was attended by
10000 Irishmen from all parts OF

strongly denouncing the existing
land laws and the house of lords.

TEXAS.

GALVESTON, Aug. 16.-A special to
the News from Gonzales, Texas, says:
The prisoners in the jail here yes
terday overpowered the iailer and
ten made their escape, but nine were
recaptured.
A special from Castleville says the
Hando mills were washed away Fri
day night by a freshet in Medina
river which is exceedingly high and
still rising. The water has reached
the second story of Convan's mills

Inc wafer IN the gulf rose to the

rate of forty-eight miles per honr
A number of people have left The
city by railroad for Lavaca. On The
morning of 18th the water rose
very rapidly and the wind reached
the rate of seventy-fve miles pc:
hour. The track and ties of tn
Morgan railroad were literally lifte'
from the bed of the road and carriet
half a mile away by the wind. N
lives have been lost. The water anC
wind have entirely subsided.

THE LAST CERTIFICATES.
The Jail Birds Come to the Front


The Jail Birds Come TO the Front
EDITOR CHRONICLE The Dispatch
OF yesterday publishes what purports
to be q card from "The Prisoners" in
the Jail, but which in all probability
was manufactured by the editor of that
paper, In which my name is used, and
1 am charged with infiicting unneces=
sary punishment on some Of the prisr
oners. The further charge is made that
l did 1t because they had cheered for
Mr.. Anderson.
AS jailer in the discharge of my du-
ty, l did punish some of the
prisoners, but did it because it was
necessary for the preservation Of dise
cipline. L. g. Shepard, Esq, one Of
the Jail inspectors OF Knox county, ap-
pointed by the county court, knows
the circumstances under which l
acted, and herewith submit his state
ment in justification OF what did,
which is as follows:
This is to certify that for the past
month the prisoners confined in the
county Jail have made several attempts
to break Jail and have committed
number OF wanton and malicious out
rs ges, doing great damsge to the jail.
insisted that some discipline should
be used sufficient to prevent further
outrages, and with my advise Mr..
Reeder appointed the present jailer,
| Il. l.. Craig, who was advised 10 use
/ a1ah q fn nhn6innRR and
he was instructed to procure such i'm
plements as were necessary to effect
! the object, and / very cheerfully say
that the object sought has in a great
measure been attained at the immi-
nent risk of his life as marks on
his head show, and so far as L know,
or have been informed, he has not ex-
ceeded his duty, and at least for the
| time has brought order out or con-
| fusion and put stop to the depreda-
tions on the Jail.
L. c. SHEPARD, Inspector.
might stop here and say no more
about the mean, slanderous story to
which the Dispatch has given curren,
cy, and the still meaner and more
cowardly insinuatons of its sIanderous
editor. The public am sure will be
satisfied with Esquire Sheppard's
statement. But will add that while
l am jailer expect to do my duty,
both to the prisoners and to the com
muniy. 1 expect ttem to demean
themselves in proper manner, and
even should the editor of the Dispatch
be one of them I will see to it that he
behaves himself in jail better than he
does out Of it.
n. L. CRAIG.
Knoxville, Aug. IA, 1880.
