He fs Tried and Acquitted OF Any Guilt
In the Transaction.
VIENNA, August l3.-General Won Pro-
chazka, the distinguished Austrian COM
mander, has been acquitted of the charge
OF fraudulent sale Of commissions to a
French company.
Gen. Prochazka and his agent were
charged with obtaining 100 900 francs, and
a promise OF obtaining 2S0,0O more from
Paris spectators by means OF forged con-
cession for casino gaming table from the
Republic OF San Marino. Gen. Prochazka
obtained a concession from the Chief OF
Police OF San Marino which was absolute
ly worthless, but in October he submitted
to four Parisian financiers a concession
purporting to be signed by two Secretaries
Of State for which the tinanciers gave
him 120,000f., on account OF which sum
he gave the Chief OF Police so 600 aud &c, 600
to his agent, and tried to get a bill for
$50, 900 francs discounted, but before the
money was paid the concession was dis.
covered to be a forgery by the Chief Of
Police and General ProchaZka was charg.
ed with being an accessory thereto. On
being interrogated he maintained that the
chief OF police who had absconded TO
escape prosecution, had imposed on him.
He acknowledged his financial troubles
and that the erection OF gaming tables was
not OF an act Of high morality on the part
OF retired soldier and bearer OF sew:
eral decorations, and who had served
creditably in the campaign from 40 toes.
but he represented himself as dupe OF
the chief OF police.

Vile eCampmeeting.
MouNpsvILLE CAMP GROUNDS, Aug. 1S.
Your reporter sought the chief OF police
and inquired about the order on the
ground. He replied that it seemed hard
for him to realize that campmeeting .ha
begun, but that the order was generally
good.
The service OF to-day has been very In
teresting, and the Lord has been in them
all.
The experience meeting at s o'clock this
forenoon was marked by the outpouring
OF the Holy Spirit upon his children.
AT l0o'clock Rev. D. Il. X. Dix preached
from the text: "Thus saith the Lord, set
your house in order"
DR.. Masden followed with an exhorta.
ton. Several presented themselves Mt the
altar for prayer.
The children's meeting met at LAB PM,
and DR.. Stone directed the exercises. The
lesson for the day was obedience" and
the children repeated many scripture
texts on this subject. The meeting was
addressed by Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Bell.
The texts for tomorrow are on the "Sin
OF Anger"
The text for the o'clock service is
found in St. John, q; 90. We did not
hear the sermon, but understand that
Brother Pickett did not fall below the ex-
pectation OF his hearers. Two seekers
presented themselves for prayers, and one
was converted.
The young people began gathering
at the tabernacle before six O'Clock
and sang several selections before
the time to begin the young peoples
meeting. DR.. Masden conducted the
meeting. short season OF prayer was
held, in which several young ladies led
the congregation in iervent prayer. This
was followed by an experience meeting.
Numbers OF short testimonies were given
by the yonng folks. The altar was filled
with seekers and two were converted. In
conversation with those who have attended
campmeatings every year, we are told that
the evening congregations are larger than
ever before at this stage OF the meeting.
We could count the people by hundreds
In the congregation this evening, and they
listened with marked attention TO q ser
mon by Rev. Wildiug, who based his re-
marks on the Goth verse OF the 4th chapter
OF Deuteronomy.
We notice among the recent arrivals Of
ministers the Revs. Davies, W. E. Par
riott and S. Jones.
4 There has been thus far seven conver-
sions. The prospect for a grand and glo-
rious revival Is good.

Bishop Peck on Monday.

and the delay in the utterance Of the
fatal decree until within four days Of the
hanging with horror, and regarded his re-
iusai TO commute at the request oil the
Italian Minister as an insult TO the ltal'
ians, who assembled by thousands to at
tend the funeral as a rebuke TO the GOV

presence and discretion Of the priests
there would have been bloody riot and
collision with the police, and that the 7th

he says the priests are deserving OF the

His Rand aud ALLIES Thought to Have
Escaped into Mexieo-AeiiyeO operation
Against Them.
DENVER, COL, August IA Santa Fe
special to the Tribune says that information
from El Paso, is to the effect that from 75
to 100 Indians, either from Victoria's own
band or Indians from Mexico, who had
aided Victoria, who have been lowering for
the past few days between old fort Creel-
man and Eagle Springs, crossed the Rio
Graude, near Wetman, early this morning,
bearing south into the State OF Chihuahua.
Colonel Buell., commanding the Mexican
troops in the Geld against these Indians,
has been notified by the couriers and will
endeavor to cut them of. A column Of
Indians, 100 in number, and probably
the main portionof Victorias band, passed
the Rio Grande later in the day. They
evidently found Colonel Grierson's COM
mand, after the fight in Rattle Snake
Canon, in possession Of their watering
place, and passed north, and had TO retreat.
General Hatch thinks the Indians will try
to get through the lines into McBeres or
Mogallon Mountains. To prevent this he
has disposed the troops under Colonel
BuelPs command along the road from
Fort Cummings to the river. Colonel
Buells headquarters are now at SlOcum's
Rancho. at about the centre OF the line.

Coax, August 1S.-The police removed
the arms from the Juno. A number o.
gags were found ON the wharf. The
boats were pulled with muftled oars.
1t was no secret that there were arms

revolyers. Six men arrested were before
a magistrate yesterday. They all belong

count Of their presence at Passage.
They were remanded for trial.
What Is regarded as most remarkable
circumstance connected with the affair is,
that while the boats were leaving and still
In view OF the vessel, no alarm was given
by the captain or other officers on board.
At the time Of the robbery patrol were

only twenty-five yards from the ship and
the slightest alarm would have reached
them.
The police at Black Rock village, be-

passing up the river, containing a number
Of men whom they recognized as belong
ing to Cork. At this time the Black Rock
police had not heard OF the robbery. The
occurrence has produced an uneasy feel
ing in the neighborhood, as 1t recalls to
mind former Fenian disturbances, and
shows that the elements OF disorder still
exist.
Sixteen more rifles have been found in
the iurse not hundred yards from where
the first lot was found. 1t Is stated that
the owner OF the missing ferry boat which
was employed in the raid has been arrest
ed. The constabulary have taken charge
