Attack on a POOree Temple.

The last Calcutta Gazette contains an
account of a strange attack made on the
idol of Juggernaut at POOree, the most
sacred shrine in India, by body of ia
natics. The rioters, who numbered
twelve men and three women, and were
almost in state of nudity, succeeded in
entering the temple, and tried to force
their way into the inner recesses. Al
though upward of one thousand pilgrims
were present, they were not expelled
without a severe struggle, IN the course
of which one intruder was trampled TO
death. The rest were arrested and have
been sentenced to three months impris-
Onment The inquiry showed that they
belonged to a sect of Hindoo dis
senters. lately found in the Sum
bulpore district, and known as Kun
bhupatias, from the fact that its fol-
lowers wear ropes of bark around their
waists. They allege that their religion
was revealed TO sixty-fOur persons in
1864 by a God incarnate, whom they
STYLE AlekhswamY-tbat is, the Lord
whose attributes cannot be described in
writing. They believe in the existence
of the three hundred millions of Hindoo
deities. but do not respect their images,
saving it is impossible to represent Su-
preme Being whom no one has ever seen.
They are subdivided into two classes,
two of which renounce the world and
make no distinction of castei while the
third lead a family life. Their habits
are said to be very filthy, and, Ike some
European sects, they take no medicine IN
illness, but rely solely on Divine help
Their attack on the Pooree temple was
prompted by the belief that if the Jug
gernaut were burnt it would convince
the Hindoos of the futility of their rell-
giOn, and the whole world would then
embrace the truth.

HO0SIER CHIVALRY.
THE KNIGHTS OF THE SWITCH.
Horrible BrutalitY-An Old Man
FlOgged Nearly TO DeaEh-His
Daughter Hung and Rehung to
ExtOrt a Confession.

Corydon Had.) Special to Cincinnati Times
Star, 10th.
"The Knights of the Switch" of Harri-
son county, are reported as having carried
out some more Of their savage work. Two
nights ago they visited the residence of Mr..
Philip Borden, in Scott Township, six miles
west Of here, at midnight, and, taking Mr..
Borden from his bed, lashed him to q tree
not far from his residence and literally
1ayed him from his shoulders to his hips,
cutting great gashes into the flesh with
their hickory switches, until the poor vic
TINS head sunk upon his breast as he
tainted away, his body being held up only
by the cords that bound 1t to the tree. The
wretched man received fully one hundred
savage blows from the savage mob.
Mr.. Borden was q soldier in the late war,
and for several years has been an invalid from
injuries received In the service. He is a
man of excellent character, Of sterling in
tegrity and honesty, and greatly respected.
He had dared to condemn the acts Of the
band, and for this reason alone 1t is thought
he was taken out and whipped.
The residence of Mr.. George Kemper, in
Washington Township, was also visited, but
Mr.. Kemper had heard Of them coming and
took refuge in the woods. Not finding
Kemper, the mob mistreated his family
shamefully.
The night after the cruel whipping OF Mr..
Philip Borden, the regulators, as they call
themselves, visited the house Of Mr.. Borden
again, and taking Mr.. Borden's step-daugh-
ter, a young lady Of about nineteen years,
from the house, they placed rope around
her neck and demanded that she reveal to
them certain secrets they accused her OF be-
ing In possession of. She refused to do so,
and they threw the rope over the limb OF a
tree and drew her up, hanging her by the
neck until nearly dead. They then let her
down and again demanded that she reveal
the secrets they alleged she possessed. She
told them she knew nothing of the matter,
and they again drew her up, strangling her
nearly to death; after which they released
her and rode away, leaving the tortured girl
more dead than alive. These OutTages have
caused intense Indignation among the law
abiding citizens of Harrison county.

GARFIELD'S ILLNESS.
How the Physicians and Nurses are
10 be Remunerated.

Washington Special to the Nsp York Herald.
1t is stated on good authority that the fol-
lowing remuneration is to be made to the
physicians and nurses of President
Garfield: Congress will be asked to
retire Surgeon General Barnes with
the rank and pay of Major
General instead Of Brigadier as he now is.
DR.. Woodward, now holding the rank of
Major in the Medical Corps, is to be ad-
vanced by act Of Congress to the special
rank of Colonel, to be created for him in
recognition OF his services to the wounded
President. Under the act to pay all the ex-
penses incident to and incurred by Presi-
dent Garfeld's illness and death, bills to the
amount of $1l0,00 or even $125, 900 will
come in. OF this appropriation Drs. Bliss,
AgneW and Hamilton are to receive
two-tbirds, which would give to
each about 80, 900 or $4,000. The physi-
clans say that under no circumstances will
they present bills either to Mrs. Garfield or
against the estate of her deceased husband.
They desire quiet and amicable settlement,
and for this purpose will urge the appoint
ment OF joint committee of the Senate
aud House to determine what amount they
should receive. They will also suggest the
propriety of authorizing the Secretary of
War and the Secretary of the Treasury to
draw the vouchers. The four nurses are to
receive 81, 500 each. DIR. Lamb, of the
Surgeon Generals Office, is to receive 500
for the autopsy which he made. DR.. Rey-
burn, who was DR.. Bliss assistant, will also
receive reasonable sum for his constant
attendance. 1t is not known what charge
the railroad companies will make for the
use OF the special trains or for the construc-
tton OF the new tracks laid in Washington
and at Long Branch.

GUITEAU'S PROVOCATION.
An Important Witness on His Way
to the Washington Court.
PittsbWr0 Special to the Philadelphia Press
December 16

PittsbWrG Special to the Philadelphia Press,
December 16.
John F. Foster, of Beaver, Pa, was in the
city to night, on his way to Washington
City, to testify against Guiteau. He is said
to have important information. Mr.. Foster
was in Washington last June He SAYS that
while on the way to the depot to take train
for home, he stopped to have his boots pol
ished. While there ne met a stranger.
"Going west ?" inquired the stranger, MOTTO
ing by Mr.. Fosters grip sack that he was
prepared for travel. eyes, I'm bound that
way,p was the reply. Then Mr.. Foster add
ed, thinking he might have found travel
ing companion, probably you are going
west, too?" "No," said the stranger, 81
am not; have just secured good appoint
ment." "YOu are quite Fortunate" said
Mr.. Foster. "Pardon me If inquire what
it is" "Consul at Paris; l might add
that my name is Charles j. Guiteau." 'That
is quite profitable Office" said Mr..
Foster, ''if my knowledge respecting it is
not at fault, and you are lucky indeed in
getting such good appointment. How
soon do you expect to go to Paris ?" "The
fact Is haven't yet got my commission"
said Guiteau, "but it's all right anyhow.
I've just as good as got it," Mr.. Forster
suggested to him that In politics there was
'many a slip twixt the cup and the lip"
and that his expectations might be dashed
to the ground: ''4f don't get that appoint
ment," said Guiteau with some show Of
bitterness, "there will be more excitement
In this city than there has been since 1865. I"
What further conversation took place be-
tween the two could not be learned, but
Guiteau's declaration of an occult purpose
makes Mr.. Foster very important witness.
MIR. Foster declined to ssy why he had kept
silent so long, or tell how Corkhill learned
that he was the possessor Of important evil
dence.

WASHINGTON, December 17-Guiteau had
an interview yesterday in jail with Mrs.
Dumore, his divorced wife. The latter
was much affected, and tears rolled down
her cheeks as she said "Charlie, am sorry
to find you in this condition"
"Oh, never mind that" said the prisoner,
calmly; 81 am sorry that the Whelp TeVf-
IDENTIFY referring to District Attorney Cork

pointed in his purpose; did nothing, you
see, to embarrass you"
81 have called to saV good bye, Charlie, !"
Mrs. Dumore said, .''for l may never see
you again"
A peculiar look passed over Guiteau's
face, and his thin lips twitched nervously
as he replied, Gamma, can wish you no
harm. hope your life may be prosperous
and happy"
Mrs Dumore's husband, who accompanied
her, then bade Guiteau good bye, saying, 81
hope we shall be off to LeadVille again by
Monday. It's too close around here for
me-"
Its too close hereabouts for me also, +"
broke In the prisoner, with CHASTITY smile.

Guiteau shortly afterwards went back to his
cell 1t seems probable tonight that
the trial of Guiteau will be
suspended to morrow for several days on
account of the dangerous illness of the
wife of one of the jurors. She lies tonight
tn critical condition, with little hope Of
her recovery. A plaster cast of Guiteau's

According to DR.. Henry Morselli in
his recent essay on Comparative Moral
Statistics, the more civilized and cult
waited a people are the greater the per-
centage of suicides. His tables, which
embrace the European countries, show
that more suicides occur in Germany than
elsewhere, and curiously enough the
number is greater in summer than the
autumn or winter. This is due to brain
disturbances, resulting from the suns
heat. He asserts that people of fair
compilations, light hair and eyes are
more prone to suicide than those whose
tone is dark-tall people more than those
who are shOTt-women less than men.
the proportion being one woman to three
or four men, except in Spain, where it
is one to two and-a-half. The Jews
shun it, and Protestants are more given
to it than Catholics.

CLAYTON-BULWER TREATY.
The "Timeso on the Dispatch 90
Minister Lowell.

LONDON, December 1.-THE Times, In its
leading article this morning on Blaine's dis
patches, already quoted from, after saying
that ''the letter of the law is on the side Of
England" continues as follows: "The
country which seeks to set it aside may
fairly be asked to propose some equivalent.
II International good faith is to count for
nothing, with what show OF reason can
England be required to allow the high
way between the two oceans to be placed
under American control, and in war and
peace alike to be commanded by American
gunsS Mr.. Blaine must remember that the
freedom OF the passage between the two
oceans can in no possible event become
exclusively an American right. The whole
world has an interest in the maintenance of
the free use Of the great highway"
The point generally remarked upon in
Mr.. Blsine's dispatch TO Mr.. Lowell touch
ing the Clayton Bulwer treaty is his as
sumption that the moment war should break
out Great Britain would disregard her
treaty obligation with respect to the neu-
trality Of the canal. It is asked in this
view why Great Britain should be asked to
repose implicit faith In America not to i'm
pose discriminating duties on goods in
transit.
The Times, after advancing this objec-
tlon, says: "Mr. Blaine's case, however, is
stronger in more ways than he ventures to
make it, as the time must arrive when
the weak Central American countries will
be absorbed by the United States, and her
coast line will extend to the full limits that
Mr.. Blaine's fancy indicates"
LONDON, December IS. - The Observer,
commenting on Mr.. Blaine's dispatch to
Mr.. Lowell touching the Clsyton-Bulwer
treaty, says: "Mr. Blaine's argument
amounts to the simple declaration that the
Union intends to assert supremacy upon
the continent Of America regardless of the
treaty rights or claims Of rival powers. 1t
must be disheartening to believers in the
new envangel of progress to discover that
the model Democratic Republic exhibits
as cynical disregard for
treaty obligations as could
be displayed by the most corrupt of old
world monarchists; but those who disbelieve
in international understandings will admit
that America is only acting IN regard to
Panama as other nations would act in her
place. Where Mr.. Blaine is wrong is in his
assumption that the United States are doing
in Panama what England has done in Suez.
On the contrary, England is content to leave
the highway to her Eastern empire at the
mercy of foreign powers, who are her friends
to day, but may be her enemies tomorrow. :"

THE RING THEATRE.
The Fatal BIunder that SweIIed the
Horror.

VIENNA, December 1.-THE officers re-
port Of the Board of Works on the Ring
Theatre disaster says: "The chief engineer
asked two policemen at the main entrance
of the Ring Theatre whether there was any
body within, and received the reply that
the whole audience had left safely.
This statement was apparently con-
frmed by the fS1t that no per
sons were seen at the entrances
of the building. The men of the fire brl-
gsde subsequently made their way to the
galleries, but the fire was suffocating. 1t
was impossible to penetrate the passage, as
the torches went out for want of oxygen
aud the iremen were unable to breathe
The report expresses the conviction that
the audience died speedily from suffoca-
tion."
VIENNA, December 1S.-The correct list
of victims has been issued by the police.
It gives the total number of victims as
794, of whom the bodies of IA have been
legally identified.
