OUR DANGER.
The Defenseless Condition Of the
United States.

WASHINGTON, Oct 31.-The report of Gen.
Wright, chief engineer Of the army, is inter
esting, because it shows that, although the
universal Yankee nation has faith that it can
clean out any other, it is totally unprepared
for war. The report sets forth in strong terms
that this country has no sea coast or lake shore
defenses worthy of the name, no appropria-
tons having been made by congress for new
works or improvements of old ones for many
years. Gen. Wright says, with probable truth,
that neither our geographical position, nor our
forbearance, nor the equity OF our policy
can avail to prevent our being engaged sooner
or later in foreign war; that when war comes
in these days it often comes suddenly; that to
be prepared for war is often toprevent it; that
some of the richest of our Cities and the most
important of our navy yards and arsenals of
supply for our armies are within easy reach of
the naval depots Of some Of the most powerful
of maritime nations; and that, in few days
after the declaration of war, it is possible for
the enemys fleets to run into our harbors, and
in few hours destroy immense amounts of
the property which, under present conditions,
would be exposed to his shot and shell, and
which has been estimated at 81, 000, 0O0, 000;
that, however powerful in numbers and valor
our armies may be- without the aid of fortifi-
cations - their accessories they cannot pre-
vent the destruction of our seaboard cities by
the ships of a maritime foe; and that while
reliance can be had in no other mode of de-
Tense, a defense by Notifications and torpe-
does is the most efficient, the most enduring
and the least expensive. 1t is believed that
there is hardly any civilized nation so lily pre-
pared for war, so far as maritime defenses are
concerned as the United States.

THE BOSS DEVIL.
A Series of Most Atrocious Crimes.
Rape and Incest, Followed by Suicide
of the Horrible Villain.

PITTsBURG, Pa Oct 30.-The community of
McKeesport, fifteen miles from here, is excited
over the startling disclosures of a series of
crimes of the basest description. The last act
in the tragedy was the suicide of Edward
Coulson, who cut his throat and jumped into
the river
On the 9Th of August last Coulson, of Rob-
bins & Co.'s coal-road on the Monongahela
river, above McKeesport, married Jeanette
Christy, widow, whose maiden name was
Jenkins, and who resided at the time with her
uncle, James Jenkins, of Elizabeth. Coulson
was twenty years old. and was known as
a crack-brained sort of fellow, but strong of
limb and good worker. Shortly after they
were married it began to be whispered that
Coulson had not married the right girl, there
being girl living at Robbins & Co. s road who
claimed to have been too intimate with him
This statement reached the ears of Coulson
through relatives of his wife, who, in great
anger, brought the accusation against him.
he concluded he would make clean breast of
the affair, and so confessed his guilt, asked
and received pardon.
Nothing more happened to mar the quiet of
the every day life of the couple until last Fri
day a week ago, when Coulson's sister, Lizzie
Coulson, aged about eighteen years, went be-
fore Squire Fields, of McKeesport, and
charged him with the heinous crime of incest,
and suit was entered against Coulson by his
stepmother, Mrs. Jane Coulson, on informa-
ton received, charging him with fornication
and bastardy, the victim being his step-sister,
Lizzie Coulson. When this fact became known
to Coulson he Immediately disappeared A
warrant was placed in the hands of Officer
John L. Roose of McKeesport, for his arrest,
and that officer searched the country in vain
for his man. This morning, however, about
five o'clock, the body of a man was found
floating in the river near Robbins & Co.'S. road,
which proved to be that of Edward Coulson,
who had committed suicide in the manner
stated
This morning, shortly before her brothers.
body was found, his sister Lizzie-who was
confined in a neat little vine-covered cottage
not over 800 yards from where Coulson's body
was foating-gave birth to child. Julia
Crawford, a handsome young lady about
eighteen years of age, states that Coulson
committed the offense on her person on Sun
day, July I'd, in the dining-ro of the house
where she is at present living, and that he
did it by force while the family were at
church.
The amount of desolation entailed by the
conduct of the villain Coulson cannot be COM
puted, but a measure of the hatred of relatives
and acquaintance of them can be realized by
the fact that, as we write, fully ten hours after
he was taken from the water, his mutilated,
discolored and loathsome body still lies on its
back in the mud at the river shore, with the
waves washing over his feet.

OSBORNE, Kan, Oct. 2S.-Advices just re-
ceived from Nicodemus the negro

ticulars of desperate ARRAY there on We'd

sued Mrs. Rudman and daughter were stand

his hand caught hold of Rudman and attempt
ed to take him to the house. uopson advanced
a few steps and snapped revolver twice with
out exploding, but the third time it went of
and Rudman fell with bullet in his breast.
The negro then snapped his pistol at thewoman,
but it failed to explode. Using the weapon as
club he then knocked the mother down,
when the daughter grappled with him and
knocked the revolver from his hand. Hopson
then drew knife and cut the girl severely in
four places He finished by shooting the
Watchdog and then, releasing his hogs, he
disappeared Rudnan died in few moments

THE COMMUNE.
1t is Again an Active Force in France,

LONDON, Oct 30-Jennnings' special says:
The news which has been received here dur
ing the last few days from various parts Of
France, not alone by the newspapers, but as
well by private people whose correspondents
have no excuse for being sensational, seems
to afford ground for the belief that serious
events are impending in our sister republic
The Socialists have been working there for
some months past, preparing in darkness and
silence for an outbreak, and it is suppos a
that the outrages that have beeen perpetratad
at Montceau-les- Mines will ere long be re
peated in various parts OF the country, and
in all likelihood upon larger scale, with
the probable result of driving M. Greyy
from the presidency and restoring Gambetta
to actual power, perhaps elevating him to
nominal power as well, as the only possible
Savior of society"-his old role. The French
chambers are altogether too weak to deal with
such crisis as is apparently about 10 be pre-
cipi upon them, and public confidence lii
the Duclerc ministry is all but gone-that is to
say, what little confidence may have been in
spired by the formation of cabinet which
American politicians would describe IS "gOod-
enough Morgan until after the" vacations. At
all events, in official quarters here, it is an
ticipated that the return of Gambetta to the
open responsibilities of power cannot be long
delayed
The premier has made representation to DR.
Kern, the ambassador here of the Swiss gov
eminent, touching the recent action of the
anarchist societies at Geneva and Lausanne
He has also called attention to the excitement
prevailing in France at the present time and
to the danger of allowing the disturbing
element to find home in SO convenient a spot
for their operations. The cabinet at
Berne have promised to make inquiry into the
facts, but state candidly that they consider the
reports for the most part exaggerations of the
truth Their idea and informationi is that these
people are neither particularly vicious nor nu-
merous enough to be dangerous.
The government has found it necessary TO
prevent the sale of dynamite, and to that end
has prepared decree prohibiting the sale or
manufacture of shot explosive. This measure
will be presented for action IN the assembly
at an early day. 1t is called forth by The re-
cent diabolical plots, that but for timely dis
Covery might have done great damage to prop

Grent Gsns Project.

The fact that Bradford, Wellsyille, Rich
burg, Bolivar, and all the towns and hamlets
on the northern and middle oil fields are not
only lighted, but heated by gas, the machine
shops boilers and hotels being supplied with
the same fuel, has attracted the attention of
capitalists, and, according to correspondent
of The Philadelphia Press, syndicate is
forming to still further utilize the natural gas
of the northern belt, which extends from Lake
Erie east 200 miles, and from Bloomfield, On
tario county, N Y, south to near Pittsburg;
in other words, nearly 200 miles square As
an evidence that this gas is practically mex
haustible, the fact is stated that one well at
Sheffield, Warren county, has been flowing
steadily for fifteen years, and another in West
moreland county nearly as long, and the gas
from either would light and heat the city Of
Philadelphia 1t is stated that the gentlemen
who are interested in the enterprise are all
large capitalists, and are confident of ultimate
success in supplying the great cities of the
union with gas, for light and fuel, at much
less rates than even electricity can be furn-
ished

Pulled His Tail.

The Portland (oregon) Sunday Mercury tells
the following story of cougar conflict, and
the daring deed of a courageous woman in her
husbands defense The immense forests in
the neighborhood of Yaquina bay are filed
with cougars, bears and other ferocious wild
animals, that when driven by hunger, some
times seek the settlements for food
A few days ago, farmer named Scurry, re-
siding a short distance from Elk City, was at
tackled by large cougar while he was at work
"a his farm near the house.
The beast made desperate fight, knocking
the man down before he could defend himself,
or use pistol in his possession
Scurry was growing faint in the deathly
struggle that ensued when his wife, who saw
the attack from the door of the cabin, ran to
his assistance, and without stopping to con-
slider her danger, seized the brute's tail and by
main force dragged the animal from his an
ticipated dinner
Scurry leaped to his feet, and before the
cougar could renew the assault, struck him
with the sharp end of the mattock he had
been using killing him instantly
Mrs Scurry kept up well, but when there
was no further need of eXertion on her part,
she tottered and fell, "all of a heap, as her
husband said. He escaped with painful
scratches and an ugly bite in the shoulder
They have dressed their assailant's skin,
which now makes a handsome rug for the
pioneers best room.

SLIPPED ON LARD.
Failure of Fairbanks Corner for o.

Armour Threatened to Bring Hogs from

CHICAGO, Oct %.
did you know" said provision dealer yes
terday, that Fairbanks lard corner for o.
tober was bursted all to pieces; that he had
thrown up his hands and acknowledged loss
of about 100000"
1t was apparent, Of course, the writer re-
piled, that October lard had been let 60 of, but
the crowd seemed to be Of the opinion that
Fairbank had simply pocketed his profits, sold
his @long" lard at a big price, and was now
3letting the other fellow walk.
NO." rejoined the provision man; %the
crowd is all wrong on its facts. Fairbank
has really received terrible drubbing
at the hands Of Armour, old Hutch,
Fowler Bros, and the other pack
ing concerns here If the engineer of the Oc-
tober lard corner had not been very rich-a
milhonaire-he would be ruined man to-day.
AS 1t is, he bears his losses philosophically.
He says it'll be a lesson to him, and that he
feels worse for the public than he does on his
own score
@What share had the public in the deal?'"
Il was told confdentially that Mr.. Fair
bank on entering upon this last specu-
lation dedicated share of its pro-
ceeds to build a great library, art
hal, museum, conservatory OF music, and
school for oratory-in talking up the scheme
with his partners, the firm, mind you, was to
make up all the cash stuff into refined lard
he figured that the deal would net him about
$1,000 900, and that setting aside 500, 600 for
the public there would be $500,000 left for
other purposes"
@You say the deal miscarried?"
Il think that is what you would call it
Fairbank was dead right on his figures He
had Phil Armour, the Chicago Packing COM
pany, Fowler Bros, and the street short to
him up to their eyes, and still he did not sue
ceed There was very little lard here hogs
were awful scarce, and in terrible condition,
yet the scheme collapsed Armour, it
is said, went to Fairbank and told him
that he would make 100 600 tierces of lard for
October, if he had to send to France for the
hogs. The refner got ratified, and let go at
the critical moment He is now the laughing
stock of the provision pit Armour, old
of his profits, now declare that not since Jim

poor health very likely had much if not all to

beyond the understanding of any one who

short time before his death, which occurred
on Oct %, $780, The relations of the widow
with her husbands only son were pleasant,
but not intimate. She visited her stepson's
house on Saturday week ago. When
Mrs Seguin was informed last night of
the occurrences, which concerned her nearly,
she was overcome with emotion. She said,
after long time, that she could offer no
explanation of the affair, for SO far as she had
been able to observe DR.. E. G. Seguin and his
wife had lived without interruption of their
