h The Institut de Droit International s a society which has had good deal of inAu- ence without making much noise. The mem- bers of this institute, which was formed just ten years ago, partly through the efforts of our late countryman Dr. Leber, ,sact wholly in their individual capacity. They come from all of the leading civilized nations of the world, and at their annual meeting discuss those international laws and customs which are of interest to mankind; but the conclu- sions reached have no binding force, except that they suggest to the great powers of the world courses of action which have met with the approval of men of different nations who have made international law the study of their lives. Yet, apparently, this indorsement has proved sufficient in 8 number of in. stances. The manual of the laws of war form ulated by the institute has been printed in all European languages, and even in Chinese and is accepted as a standard by which army officers in time of war shall regulate their conduct. The institutes regulations for the protection of submarine telegraph cables have been taken up by the various interested governments; and It's arrangements for inter- national arbitration have been incorporated into number of the treaties made between European countries.

giving them out. The objection of the Pres
 ident is based on the fact that his annual
 message to Congress is composed mainly of ] the data contained in these reports, and their publication in advance of that document
 makes it, in his opinion, less interesting, be- sides being out of the line of official routine 1 and courtesy. While this is admitted in the
 departments, there are many reasons given by officials why the reports should be made public at this time. Each bureau has the
 management of an important branch of pub
 lic business the operations and growth of
 which interest the country generally. To withhold all the reports until the main fea- l lures are embodied in the Presidents mes
 sage is to practically suppress an immense
 amount Of very interesting details, as no pa
 per could give them the necessary space after
 the commencement of Congress. It Is thought that the Secretaries, who agree with the heads of the bureans on the subject, will be able to obtain permission to print the re- ports when completed
 A great game of chess has just been fin ished in the nSeth of Scotland. The game was begun about twelve months ago in Brook 1yn, New York. The first player, Mr. J. B. Munoz, made move. and then passed the scoring sheet on by post to a friend. That friend made move in reply, and then pass cd the paper on by post to another we'll known player, who made 8 move in continu- ation. In this way the document found its way to Baltimore, where MT. Sellman, who played lately in the London tournament added move and sent the paper on to Jsma- ica. From Jamaica 1t was sent to England, and, after passing through the hands of we'll known players in London and other towns, who each added move, it began tour among the chess players of Scotland. After travelling as far north as Dallwilington, the document was sent back to Sheriff Spens of Glasgow. That gentleman examined the position, and decided that the game was lost for white, as black could force an exchange of rocks and win with the pawns. He there fore returned the game to the first player, Mir. J. B. Munoz, who BOW sent it to London to be published as curiosity. The scoring sheet bears the signatures of seventy players, who each made move in the game, and the document shows that it has passed from hand to hand through thirty-two towns and cities of England, Scotland and America.

Cases ON Rec0fd-TWO Inde.

A HOrnellsville, N. Y, special says;

found lying along the track Of the
Erie railway, a mile this side OF the
Olean depot, about midnight of Tues.
day OF last week. There we're bad

men. A coroner's jury returned a
verdict that Scott had been killed BY
the cars. On Thursday word was re
ceiyed from the brother Of the dead
man that he had dreamed on Tuesday
night that his brother was murdered
in piece Of woods and robbed. When
the dreamer awoke he was SO nervous
that be was unable TO sleep again
during the night. He awoke from his
dream between ll:30 o'clock and mid
night. na 9N
On the same day q sister OF Scott's,
who lives in Rochester, sent word to a
friend in Olesn that she had dream
Tuesday night, in which she saw two
men beat her brother to death in the
woods and take money from his
pockets. She awoke screaming,
Don't touch the money There is
blood on itp She says she was
frightened so that she arose from bed
and struck light. A clock on the
bureau showed the time to be a little
past 1l:30.
These singular declarations led to
bringing to light the fact that on the
day Of William Scotts death he had
sold some property, for which he was
paid $1,000. In the afternoon he was
seen In an out Of the way saloon, kept
by a man named 0'Mara, in company
with two strange men. He was in
toxicated, and exhibited large roll
Of money, and boosted of the bargain
he had made in the sale. Between
and 3 o'clock he was so drunk that
the men carried him out TO a barn in
the rear Of the saloon and left him
there. About 1890 o'clock that night
he was met by an acquaintance on the
road leading from O'Mara's to the Erie
depot, near a piece Of woods. He was
not seen alive again.
There was no money in his clothes
when found. 1t is noted now that
there was no blood on the rails OF
anywhere about the track at the spot
where he was found, and railroad mer
say that it would DO next to an i'm
possibility for a person to be bit by al
engine or run over there without tht
fact being discovered at once either By
the engineer or fireman. The belle
is strong now that Scott was murdered
and robbed and placed where be wa
found to give the impression that he
had been killed by the cars. The mat
ter is to be reinvestigated.

Horrors OF the Water Famine nj
Nashville.

About 5 o'clock yesterday morning
the broken piston Of the Dean engine
at the water works was repaired and
the city seemed in a fair way to be i'm.
mediately supplied with water again,
but no sooner was all in working order
than the foot valve, which prevents
the water from running out, broke,
once more cutting off all supply.
Captain Reyer, Engineer Mckenzie
and others set TO work to repair the
break and labored assiduously to this
end, but il was not until 6 O'Clock
that their efforts proved successful
II is no exaggeration to say that
throughout the day thre was positive
suffering for want Of water. This
would naturally have been the case
under similar circumstances, but the
situation was aggravated by the dust
and heat. Naturally those whose vo.

almost worse than the affection Of
thirst itself. Among beer bibbers the
frothy fluid was consumed wholesale,
but, as is always the case with the
nectar Of Gambrinus, it only tended
TO increase thirst. Dwellers along the

ing Snicide.


Between six and seven o'clock last
night Edward Hoff, a guest at St.
Griesmaier's Hotel, 300 South Second
street, made two desperate attempts to
commit suicide, and inflicted wounds
upon himself that physicians pro
nOunoe fatal. At the hour mentioned,
an emplOye Of the hotel heard a noise
that resembled pistol shot, coming
from the direction of the room which
Hof occupied. An Investigation was
made, and in answer TO knock on his
door HoH replied that everything was
all right in his room, and that he
had heard ne unusual noise. In about
thirty minutes the hotel people were
startled by another pistol shot, which
apparently came from the same direc
ton as the first. 1t was determined
this time to make thorough investi,
CATION. Several rooms were exam
ined, and the one occupied by
Hoff was found looked, and no answer
could be elected from the occupant.
The door was finally forced open, and
Hoff was found lying on a cot with an
ugly wound in the left temple, from
which a stream Of blood was flowing.
lie was only partially dressed, and
his life fluid had oozed out in such a
large quantity that the bed
clothing and the carpet we're
completely saturated with it.
Upon examination it was found that
he had another bad wound in the left
side of the chest, but the hemorrhage
from this was all internal. 1t was
learned that for a long time Hoif had
been complaining of indigestion and
neuralgia, and had threatened to cons
NIT suicide. After making up his mind
TO kill himself yesterday evening, be
placed the weapon, forty four caliber
British bull dog, against his left side
and pulled the trigger. This was the
first report heard. The bullet did not
do its work as anticipated, but SO
strong was bis determination and SO
great his nerve that be was enabled
to answer calmy when people
knocked at his door, and thus diverted
suspicion from his room. After lin
gering for half an hour in torture, and
becoming convinced that death was
not coming to his relief, he determined
to try it again. This time he placed
sss nuzzle Of the pistol against his
left temple and fired The second
shot was more successful than the
first, and dropping the pistol from his
nerveless hand, he fell back on the
cot in semi conscious condition.
The Chestnut street patrol wagon was
summoned, and Hoff was taken TO the
City Dispensary, where his wounds
were examined and he was sent to the
hospital. The bullet in the head en-
entered the brain, aud will prove
fatal. Hof has been boarding about
four months at the hotel. He has
brother in Little Rock, who is in the
baking business.

CARLISLE, KY, September 29.--At
noon Thursday at the old Rogers
mansion, on Indian creek, near Blue
Lick Springs, where a hundred or
lore years ago the ancestors Of the
family fought bloody battle with the
Indians, one OF that old family shot
two Of his brothers, one Of whom died
last night, and the other, it is feared,
cannot survive. The three broth.r
were Samuel g., William 0. and
Thomas Rogers. The father of these
men dying very old, willed his entire
estate, which is large and consists OF
lands, to Samuel G.. and Robert Rog
ers, and cut off William 0. and Thorn
as Rogers without cent. Samuel G..
Rogers was made administrator Of the
estate. The two brothers who were
disinherited took legal measures
to break the will, and to that
end have been engaged for several
days in taking DISPOSITIONS, travelling
from house TO house, the residences Of
witnesses. At noon Thursday, when
seated in the old residence, where
some Of the boys were born, Samuel
drew his pistol in q wordy encounter
and fred a shot. 1t penetrated the
clothing Of one Of the attorneys, and
In . trice everybody except the con.
testants rushed out OF the room. The
firing went on till Sans pistol was
emptied He then stepped out Of the
room and returned to Carlisle, where
he has been arrested. DIR French, Of
Cincinnati, and DR.. Dills, Of Carlisle
were called to the scene. Willian
Rogers lay on the floor, near the
front door, the bone Of his right leg
near the knee, shivered to spliDters
and a bullet hole through his aldo,
men, from right to left. He suffered
for ten hours and died. Tom received
shot In the right temple, which
came out above the left eye, near the
hair; also a shot IN the left arm. His
surgeons told him from the first that
he had the best chance to pull
through. He is still conscious and
in his right mind. The chief actor in
the tragedy says that his brothers
reached to draw their pistols before be
commenced shooting, but their attor-
ney denies this and says he made no
attempt to draw. Samuel Rogers was
the only man who shot, and be emp.
tied his pistol.
