The dfehchiak rain last night did
not prevent over three hundred peo-
pie attending the Strangers Church
last night. II was, as usual, necessary
to use chairs in the aisles. The music
was admirable, and the sermon one
that rivited the attention of the entire
audience. The subject, Eternal
Punishment" was handled by Mr..
Long as never before by any one in
this city.
Our neighboring city Of Helena is
threatened with break Of the levee
which protects tho place from over
flow. A large force of laborers were
at work on Saturday strengthening its
weak points. Up to last accounts it
was still intact, though much uneasi-
ness is'manifested. So at least report
persons who arrived here from that
point last evening.
A man was arrested in the southern
part of the city yesterday charged with
starving his mule. The poor animal
was found hoisted up with ropes in its
stall, it not being able to stand from
sheer weakness. The cruelty to ami
NAL agent cut the ropes which bound
it, and the wife of the owner threat
ened to demolish the agent, but she
was persuaded not to do it.
One of the most enjoyable events of
the season was the surprise german
rendered Miss Rachael Halle, Of No.
1872 Beal street. Notwithstanding
the inclemency of the weather, large
number of her friends attended. The
fair young hostess proved equal to the
occasion and was lavish in her hospi-
tally. The flowers, bright and beau
tiful, were in profusion, and seldom
have the lights Of the beautifully il
Illuminated parlcrs shone upon a more
select and fashionable assemblage.
The beauty of the ladies was enhanced
by the richness and taste displayedIin
their attire. The scene presentedIwas
one of mirth and pleasure. An ele-
CANT supper was served at twelve
o'clock, after which dancing was kept
up until the wee sms' hours of the
morn.

Ripper to Stay.

Special to Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, February 10.-It is
quite probable that Lieutenant Flip
per, Of the Tenth cavalry, although
sentenced to be dismissed from the
army, will not go out Of the service.
Ho was not found guilty of the charge
Of embczzlement, but Of deceiving his
superior officer, and in view Of the
failure to prove fraud, and the fact
chat the government has lost nothing,
the sentence will probably be miti-
gated. General Grierson, and other
officers Of his regiment, have written
letters, in which they speak in high
terms of Lieutenant Flipper, and
with such Endorsement, and with no
crime proved against him, the Presi-
dent would not be justifable in deal
ing with him more severely than others
have been dealt with under similar
circumstances.

A BRUTAL BuTCHER.
A News and Candy Peddier's
Freak.

The officer on duty at the Memphis
& Charleston depot yesterday morning
heard the cries Of a woman near one
end of the building, and rushing to
the spot found a woman lying upon
the depot platform and man stand
ing over her, kicking her with his
boot. He was promptly taken charge
of and gave his name at the station
house as Fred Moulton, a newsdealer
on the road. The woman, whom he
said was his wife, put up the required
$50 forfeit. She was handsomely
dressed, and to all appearances little
lady. he is one Of the nobby sort and
gave no excuse for his brutality, ex-
cept that he had not been home for
several nights and it made him mad
because his wife came to the depot to
see him. The case will be tried to-

Only one robbery, or attemps at rob.
berry, was reported last night. Some
unsanctifed scamp tried to steal John
Walsh's coal yard.
A thoroughly bad youth, named
James Donally was given three days to
get out of the city. He stole SAT from
his mother but as she did not>want to
prosecute him, the police preferred a
charge Of vagrancy. He promised to
take the first boat.

NJ. Kirkland, a son Of the senior mem
Der Of the firm of Kirkland, Hum
phreys u Co., prominent cotton factors,
and clerk in the house, was arrested
at the Union depot at 8 o'clock last
night, just as he was stepping aboard
the Missouri Pacific west bound train.
He is charged with forging the firms
name to a check for $500, and col
Letting that sum. from the st. Louis
National Bank Saturday, and all the
circumstances in the case point 10 his
guilt. When arrested he was accom-
panied by a frail woman named Kate
Williams. Both were taken to police
headquarters and searched. Only $50
was found on Kirkland, but the sum of
$4,000, gold watch and two tickets for
Alberquaqua, New Mexico, were found
on the woman. She said they we're
given her by Kirkland. The woman
also had a new dress and other articles
Of wearing apparel, which she pur-
chased aud paid for with mon ey given
her by Kirkland.
Kirkland is a young man of about
twenty eight years, has a wife and two
children, and has moved in the best
society. Both parties are still in con-
fnement, and it is SAID that young
Kirtland's father will let the law take
its course. The affair, owing to the
high standing of the Kirtlands both
commercially and socially, has caused
a great deal Of comment.
1t was concluded this evening not to
prosecute young Kirkland, and he will
probably be released tomorrow, He
said he had been running with the

Killed His Dogs.

A hunter, while passing out the
Horn Lake road, couple of mile,
south Of the city, on Saturday, had
three fine hunting dogs killed by poi
son. One Of the animals was borrowed
for the occasion, and the sportsman
paid its owner SIS for it. They picked
up poisoned meat laying near the
highway, outside of any fence. Their
owner saw them eat the meat, but
thought no harm of it until the dogs
began to show the effects. 1t is not
known how the meat found its way
there, but is supposed to have been
designedly laid convenient to carry
out the very plan which resulted.

CINCINNATI, February 13. The
body of William johnson was found
to-day half a mile from Oakly Station,
on the Marietta & Cincinnati railroad,
about six miles from this city, with the
upper portion Of his head shot off, All
circumstances point to murder rather
than suicide, but no clue is found to the
murderer. johnson was twenty-five
years of age, without occupation and
of dissipated habits. His mother is
a wealthy woman. 1t is thought that
johnson had been killed by some one
having a grudge against him, as he
has had frequent quarrels.

The regular proceedings in the case
of Brady, Dorsey, Turner and others
were begun in Washington, on Thurs
day, May 4th. Brady and Turner
were the only defendants present at
the opening of the court. The de-
fence filed a number of motions and
pleas, which the court over-ruled in
bulk, and Mr.. Totten asked to have
the exceptions noted. The court stat
ed there was no such thing as notice
of exception in a criminal case in the
district. They could be recorded with
the order Of the court. Mr.. Merrick
said J. M. Dorsey had not been ar
raigned. Mr.. Bliss added that in
view of the fact, Mr.. Ingersoll had
promised positively to produce J. w.
Dorsey, and relying on this promise,
they promised "not to make them
selves unhappy" trying to secure his
arrest. Dorsey had not been produc-
ed aud he wanted to call attention to
this barefaced violation. He regarded
it as mere measure of delay. Mr..
Ingersoll sprang to his feet, and bring
ing his fist down on the table exclaim-
ed: "You are liar, sir; liar !"
Considerable excitement followed
The court called upon the marshall
with the evident intention of placing
some of the participants under arrest,
but seemingly changing his mind, the
Judge said: "Such language is intol-
cradle and / will not endure it. Per-
haps Mr.. Ingersoll has gone beyond
just measure in retaliation, but Mr..
Bliss offence is inexcusable. l will
allow this offence to pass, bnt l warn
all the gentlemen to avoid its repeti-
tlon." Mr.. Merricx claimed Mr..
Bliss statement was correct. Mr..
Ingersoll, replying to the court, said
he did not deny the fact. He did
deny that he had been guilty of a
trick. He supposed when he made
the arrangement he had the power to
produce Dorsey and wanted to say
now he could not. The court then
postponed the hearing until the 10th
inst.
