NEW YoRK. August !

NEW York, August Z.
An Austin (Tex.) special says: 1t is
thought here that Vanderbilt, Tom Scott,
Jay Gould and Huntington, together
with Boston and San Francisco capital
lists, are furnishing the sinews Of war for
Dalrymplc's proposed Mexican invasion.
The recent purchase of 500 leagues Of
mineral lands in New Mexico by John
Hancock, Joe Crosby and Barnhardt
Zimpleman of this city, seems to en-
courage such belief, they being regarded
as the agents OF the moneyed potentates
first mentioned. Upon the whole, what
was first looked upon as hoax is now
assuming such proportions as to put every
one on the qui vive for the next news
from Washington, while those who have
enlisted are casting about for leader.
General James explained to the Gov
crnor his connection with the Dalrymple
army of occupation and his withdrawal
therefrom. His successor will probably
be General Byrne of Fort Worth. Hun
dreds Of young men all over the State
have volunteered, and many offering to
mount, arm and equip themselves.
CHICAGO, August 7.
The Tribune's San Antonio TEX
special says, the movements Of the fill
busterers, styled the army of occupation,
are closely watched by General Ord,
whose orders in regard to the neutrality
laws are very strict. The Mexicans are
reported to be also ready to give them
warm reception. General Ord thinks
that there Is little in the movement. 1t
is probably inaugurated by German En-
glish influence in Mexico to interrupt the
good feeling between the United states
and Mexico, thus retarding railroad
building, winch would greatly endanger
their trade.
SrRlNGFIELp, Mass Aug III.
The family OF Lebrlna lllson, living
mile from Shuterberg Center, was alarmed
last night by the appearance OF JARVIS
Nelson Phelpss, young man, son OF their
nearest neighbor, who was bleeding from
several wounds in the chest. he de-
clared ne had shot himself, and mad but
q few minutes to live, and that he had
lett the dead body OF Sadie "A. Grover,
his former mistress. and the mother OF
three year-old child, IN the WOODS short
distance back. An alarm was immedl,
ately given, and the search proved
Phelps story to be true. Phelps, who
has wife living, formerly lived with the
Grover girl, who IS scarcely IL, until his
arrest Tor bigamy, and sentenced to the
Greenfield jail Tor one year. Ills SEN
tence wa. completed about one year ago,
since which time he has been endeavor-
ing to get her to live with HIM again.
Her continued refusa! and her association
with other men excited him to commit
the crime. he says he hred four chambers
OF the revolver INTO the woman's heart,
and then cody reloaded and discharged
seven barrels into his own breast. An
autopsy confirms this story substantially.
Phelp. Is still living, and to all appear
ances IS the coolest man IN town, but the
doctors say ne cannot recover.
