LONDON, July 1.-THE Standards CORE

the following:
ALEXANDRIA, July 1l-9 A. M.-The at
tack on the forts has now been kept up for
two hours. The smoke hangs over the
town along the line of the shore batteries
and among the ships, and it is difficult to
see what damage has been done. 1t is GER
tain, however, that the enemy has suffered
very severely. Fort Marsa Ell Kanat
has been blown up by fire from other bat
teries. The forts are slackening their fire.
The top of the tower OF Fort Pharos has
been carried away and many guns have
been d~ismounted on hat and other forts.
Dutch and Greek flags are hoisted over the
respective Consulates. At the beginning
of the bombardment immense excitement
was visible. Crowds of people were seen
winding their way to the Palace. The streets
are now deserted, people having fled or
taken refuge in cellars. There are no
signs of surrender so far. A telegram
from the Eastern Telegraph Company on
the steamer Chiltern, sent at Ills this
morning, says: The bombardment still
continues. The forts are gradually being
silenced. The Ras Ell Tin forts are suffer-
ing severely from the heavy and disastrous
fire of the ships Alexandria, Superb and
Temeraire. A dispatch to Lloyds from
Port Said states that the British Consul
there, by order Of Admiral Seymour, has
stopped ships from entering the Suez
Canal. Admiral Seymour telegrsphs as
follows: The ships opened fired at Z
o'clock this morning. The return fire
from the forts was weak and ineffective.
An explosion in Fort Marsa has occurred.
The ships engaged are the 1nfexible, Tenn
eraire, Penelope, Superb, Sultan, Invinci-

LIMITED RAILROAD rlCnnrs.

A point of much practical interest to
passengers travelling on limited tickets
mas been settled by the New York
Court of Appeals. The plaintiff had
bought a ticket for a continuous passage
from St. Louis to New York, to be
used On the New York Central road
from Buffalo to New York on or before
Sept. 20. With this ticket he took the
New York Central train at Rochester
instead Of Buffalo on the afternoon Of
the 10Th. Early on the following
morning he was notified by the con-
duotor that the time specified on the
coupon had expired, and on refusing
to pay the fare demanded he was put off
the train. In the action brought against
it the company claimed that the plaintiff
had no right to travel on the ticket after
the Goth. The Court Of Appeals holds
that, as the ticket had been punched by
the conductor on the Goth, the passenger
was entitled afterward to continue his
journey until he reached his destination.
"When," says the Court, "the plaintiff
entered the train at Rochester on the after
noon Of the Doth of September and pre-
sented his ticket and it was accepted and
it was punched, it was then used within
the meaning of the contract. 1t could
then have been taken up. So far as the
plaintiff was concerned it had then per.
formed its office. 1t was thereafter left
with him, not for his convenience, but
under regulations of the defendant for its
convenience that it might know that his
passage had been paid for. The contract
did not specify that the passage should
be completed on or before the 26th, but
that the ticket shoUld be used on or be-
fore that day, and that it was so used
it seems TO rs too clear for dispute" The
effect of this decision will be to give pas.

Another miserable execution bungle il
reported from Kentucky, where tho sick-
sning spectacle OF q wretched oalprit,

enormous audience. With about as little
conjunction, it would appear, as might
be expected in the case of a NANCY cur,
those on the scaffold simply pushed him
off again, and allowed him to be tor
tured to death by the comparatively slow
process Of strangulation. 1t is a moot

..CUyyS. AND SHOWS"


The usual prediction Of defeat for the
Democratic party is being aired, the
same that occurs ~biennially, and with all
the more assurance once in four years,
when a full State and county ticket is to
be selected in Nevada-when there is a
general ~whoop-up all along the line.
This gift of second sight is not quite as
valuable as it may seem. The Demo
Gratis Of Nevada have divided the honors
Of Office with their Republican friends III
this State pretty well in every election
since, and including, the general election
Of 1870. This all goes for naught, and,
seemingly regardless of the contradlc,
ton. in fact, the Republican press OF
Nevada claim a large and certain ma
iority. To be altogether honest about
it. we believe that it would be a hard
thing to tell whether there is any pre-
ponderance Of votes on either side in
this State to be fully depended upon and
dignihed with the name Of majority.
Hancock carried the State, and so did
Hayes. As for the approaching cam
paign, we believe that the Democrats
will win if they nominate their
best timber. The vote is too
close to take any chances. The
work of the Democratic Convention
must be done in harmony and
good humor. The object should be to
select the best and strongest
men whom the people trust and will
heartily support. The presumption is
that the Convention will act judiciously,
for the best interests OF the people first
and of the party second. There is talk
in the camp of our political adversaries
that there will be a split in the Demo-
cratic party. There is not going to be
any such thing. The Carson Appeal evil
