NEW YORK, September About $50
o'clock yesterday morning the steamer
Alaska, having on board the British team of
riflemen, who are to compete with the Ma
tional Guards at Creedmoor on the
14th and 18th of the present month,

board the Hopkins were General MolIneux,
Ex- Judge S; anton, Colonel John Bodine and
nearly all the members of the American Rifle
Association and number of invited guests.
The Hopkins ran down to lower quarantine,
where the Alaska lay. After the health Off
GERS had examined and passed the Alaska, the
Hopkins came alongside. Sir Henry Hal
ford was the first on board and heartily
shook hands with Colonel Bodine. The
Eagles were then quickly transferred to the
Hopkins, and the guests landed at Hunters
Garden City, putting up at hotel
quite near the range at Creedmoor, where
they will commence practice Immediately.
When the team came aboard the Hopkins,
Judge Stanton introduced Sir Henry TO Gen
eral Moineux, and was in turn presented to
other members of the team. General Mole

LITTLE ROCK, September 4.-The election

usually large vote. The Democratic State
ticket is evidently elected by about the usual

heavy, and none of the wards are yet counted
out.
There is no probability that the city vote
will be counted before morning. The Demo-

leads the Republican ticket by about 450 in
the city, and claims the county by 200 ma
jority. Nothing additional from the State.

RIVER CASE.
A New Style Of suft Brought by q
Transportation Company.

The Mitchell Transportation Company, ef
Newport, KY, yesterday brought suit in the
United States Court against Robert F. Pat
terson and others. They say that on the
3lst of October. 1880, they were the owners
OF the stesmer Robert Mitchell, vessel of
more than 800 tons burden, engaged in the
navigation OF the Ohio aud Mississippi riv-
ers between Cincinnati, o., and New Orleans,
La At the time Of the disaster mentioned
hereafter she was engaged in a trip from
Cairo, H., to New Orleans. She was fully
equipped and manned and had full crew.
The boat proceeded as far az Fulton,
Tenn. where, on November 2, 1880, she
took on large amount of cotton
in bales. and thence proceeded to Memphis,
arriving there November 2, 1880, where che
landed and took on board another :srge

BOARD OF ENGINEERS
In Session Here, Consulting AbOuf the
Mississippi River.

Yesterday Major Amos Stickney, Captain
A. NJ. Miller and Captain w. L. Marshall,
constituting the Board of Engineets appoint
ed by the secretary of war TO consider the
levees along the Mississippi met in this city
in consultation. They met with closed doors,
and did not receive any of the local river
men or those who were in the city from
below. 1t will be remembered that
81 100000 was appropriated for the Mis-
sissippi levees, which is to be distributed as
follows: 100000 for the east bank of the
Mississippi from the State line to the Yszoo
river, 100000 for the west bank from the
mouth of the Arkansas river to Red river
where the greatest amount OF damage wse
done by the late food, and $4,000 from the
Red river down. This leaves S350,000 IN
distributed. The object of the Board Of
Engineers in coming to Memphis il 20 de-
termIne whether this money shall be on
levees near Memphis or not. The money
was not Appropriated for any specific werk, but
it will in all likelihood be expended in this
neighborhood. The river here is gradually
changing its bed, and unless levees are built
Memphis will eventually be left without a
river. Levees properly constructed would
protect great deal of the land across the
river from inundation. As soon as the Board
of Eugineers ascertain and settle upon the
work TO be done, bids will be advertised for
in all the principal papers from St. Louis to
New Orleans. Captain Lee and other river
men, as well as prominent planters from
below, will go before the board to day and
give reasons for the improvement of the
river banks in various laclaities.

MEXICO, Mo, September 4-News has
been received here Of a most terrible murder
committed by George Green, living out in
the country. 1t appears that Green's wife,
a daughter of Major NJ. Byless, awell- known
farmer of Andrain county, obtained di-
vorce from him at the June term of the
court, since when Mrs. Green has been living
with her father. The conrt decreed that
Green should have the privilege Of SEEING
his-chfitren, zged respectivefy f6ur and two
yearp, twice a month. To-day was one OF
the days for him to see the children, but
there being bitter feeling gsiBst him on
toe part OF Major Byless, who is alleged to
have threatened to kill him, he arranged
with a neighbor named Blskenbaker to
bring the children to his homs. This was
done, and after playing with the children for
TWO hours he told Biakenbsker he could
axe them back to their mother. He went with
Blasenbaker to where his horse was hitched,
and while the latter was mounting his horse
Green suddenly drew his large horse pistol,
shot and instantly killed both the children.
He then fred another ball into each dead
body, and fed. AS soon as Blskelbaker re-
covered from the shock ocoasioned BY the
atrocious act OF Green he gave the alarm,
and eight or ten neighbors immediately
started in pursuit. They soon got on his
trail and pressed him 80 hard that he placed
the pistol to his head, fred and fell dead,
the ball passing clear through his head.

DURING some recent examinations of ap
plicants for license as Mississippi river pilots
Que Of them, ayoung man of great promise,
who was otherwise competent to fill posi-
zion Of TIE gravest responsibility, was re eiect-
ed by the examiners becauee of his inability
TO distinguish between colors-he could not
tell red from green. This should be a warn
ing not only to intending pilots, but river
and railroad engineers, who should be able
readily 70 distinguish colors. This Young
man hsd already been four years upon the
river, learning the duties Of pilot and how
TO handle and steer boat, and had acquired
such proficiency as greatly to encourage his
friends in the belief that be would soon take
rank With the best and safest men. But he
Tad not given any attention to the knowledge
OF colors so necessary to enable him to dis
hnguish between the signal co}ors on the
river, and being thus deficient was denied
the commission he had worked for 30 long
and go faithfully. This was, of course, a
very sore disappointment. But the lives of
the people are Of more consequence than the

BALTIMORE, September 4-Quite sensa-
tion was created here last week by The an
noupcement that the Rev. Chsrles Bentley,
an evangelist who has been attracting inn
mense congregations during the psst two
years, had fallen from grace and decided 70
absndon the ministry. Bentley has been
boarding with a highly respectable family
here, and the members OF the household were
among the devout and Jealous attendants at
his services. One of them, a young lady
aged eighteen years, frequently accompanied
Mr.. Bentley to and from the church. They
became great friends, and it was soon whis-
pered about that their friendship would re-
suit in marriage. Some months ago the evan
gelist left the city 10 convert souls in other
cities. The young lady then became sad
and disconsolate, and frequently was dis
covered by her friends weeping bitterly
About a month ago, however. Bentley re-
turned and renewed his revivsle. A few
DAYS ago the young lady to whom he had
been so lavish in his attentions became a
mother. The relatives of the girl, greatly
incensed over their disgrace, sent for Bentley
and demanded satisfsction. He accordingly
acknowledged the child SIS his, and expressed
his Willingness to marry the girl. He said
this mornIng that he deeply regretted his
conduct, and knew that he could not preach
any more with that disgrace upon him. The
affair has caused a futter in social and
religious circles. Bentley is quite good
looking, and is a favorite with his congrega-
tim.
