A RUSSIAN THREAT.

CoSsrANrISopLE, March ls.-A COM
munication has been received from St.
Petersburg by the Turkish Government,
stating that unless the prisoner who is
now on trial here, charged with assasina-
tionoi Colonel Commeroff, on the 10Th Of
February, in the streets Of this capital, is
sentenced to death, Russia will rupture at
once her diplomatic relations with Tur-
key. This threat is regarded in Govern
ment circles as uncalled for and prema-
ture, inasmuCh as no disposition Is ex.
hibited By the Commission before which
the prisoner Is on trial to favor him in any
way beyond what is warranted by the evil
dence.

THE MAINE INIauIrY.
The Report of the Legislative Inyestigat.
ing Committee-GarceIon Prociaims
HIS Inuocence, aud Intimates
That There was n Judas In
a..


AUGUSTA, ME., March 1S.-The Legis.
lative Committee inquiring into the
conduct OF Ex-Governor Garcelon and the
Council, has made report, 1t states
that Garcelon, while evincing his willing
ness to disclose everything, was infrm in
his memory, and failed to give satisfacto'
ry reason for his course. When the evil
dence was laid before him he ceased long
er to defend the counting out and pas
sionately declared his own innocence, and
declared that Judas among the Council
had done the villainy. The Committee
says:
First-That the returns were kept from
the candidates, contrary to usage.
second-That during such time altera'
tons, erasures and forgeries were made
upon them for the purpose OF counting
out the Republicans.
Third-That during this time the defects
in the fusion returns were surreptittously
corrected, and had atlidavits secured TO
throw out the Republican towns.
Fourth-In all such casesthe results In
yariably counted out the Republican can
didates and counted in the fusion candi'
dates.
Fifth-A result was reached by refusing
to allow Republican erroVto be corrected
Sixth-The rules here aid down were
strictly applied to reject Republican re
turns, and not appliedto counting Fusion
|
Seyenth-Many OF these rules were evi
dently invoked to secure the Fusion Leg
islature.-
acts were part of premeditated plan Z
secure Fusion Governor and Legislature
and the Governor aud Council must havt
been parties toit.
Ninth-The different appropriations b.
the Legislature have been diverted from
their legitimate purposes, and 10 man!
cases have been exhausted. Public iundi
have been withdrawn from the Treasur!
by Gov. Garcelon and his Council withou
a warrant 81 law, and have been applied
to unauthorized purposes and for unlaw
full ends. A large sum OF money belong
ing 10 the State remains in the hands o
Gov. Garcelon and other officials OF las
year, which should be recovered and pu
back into the Treasury. Recklessness!
!. manag ement, disclosed in the transaction
OF last year, tends 70 destroy public cont
dence, undermine public credit, and Intro
, duce practices which, II unrebuked, vii
prove fatal TO the future prosperity an
progress Of the State.

ment publicly conradicts the report orig,
inally published in the Cologne Ga.ette a
week or two since, and supposed to have

rangement or understanding Of any kind
with any power looking TO hostilities

only Of promoting the domestic tranquil

ZASEsyIILE, March lS.-one OF the sad

rem, diphtheria. The families thus bro
ken up are John L. McInturf and John
A. Thompson. The former gentle
man first discovered diphtheria in
his family, his little daughter
Mary being attacked by 1t in It's most ma
lignant form. The attending physician
tried all the usual remedies, but the little
sufferer died. While she was still sick,
four more OF the children-Charlie, aged
l6; Julia, aged IA; George, aged II, and
Kitty, aged years, were taken with 1t,
and in a few days they were oil lying be.
side their sister Mary. The disease was
utterly yunmanageable, and even the little
sufferers, when first attacked, appeared to
be conscious that death was approaching.
A very tenderscene occurred before these
first five had passed away. Charley was
dying, with his little sister Julia lying
close by; Julia saw that her little brother
was nearing his end, when she said:
Mamma, would rather go with brothers
and sisters, but what will you and papa
do2" In short time thereafter she was
dead.
Five OF the children having thus been
swept away, the parents had two remain
ing-Frankie, the babe aged two years,
and Martin, aged six; but they had not
long to dote on their presence. In day
or two they were also stricken down.
Martin lay in the bed, and frankie in the
cradle near by. The baby was slowly
breathing away It's life, when an effort
was made to shut out the sorrowful sight
from the gaze OF Martin. "You must not
do that" he said. "Iknow frankie is dy-
ing, and I'll go too, and be with him"
The screen was removed, and the babe
died while his little brother looked on. 1t
was o pathetic scene that l can not por-
tray.
The McInturf family having thus been
Of all that was most precious to
them, the fell destroyer visited a neigh

carried on his dreadful work with but
little less mercy. Mr.. Thompson had
nursed in the McInturf family

the house had been deprived OF all the

The order was changed and q
double coffin sent to the house, and the
two little children were placed in the en-
brace OF each other. The people OF that
section are thoroughly alarmed, and the
physicians are greatly astonished. The
disease is still prevalent, but not with
as much malignity as in the cases here al
luded to.
