BLACK-SEA PIRATES.

ing the FreebOOters.
PARIS, Oct. 20-A correspondent at Inster-
burg, on the Russian frontier, telegraphs the
following:
might before last the Russian police at
Kertch made an attempt to arrest the chief
of band of pirates whose lucrative exploits
have caused a sort of panic along
the whole northern coast of the Black
sea. The chief pirate escaped, but evil
dence has fallen into the hands
of the authorities disclosing the as
tonishing fact that not only the great bulk
of the seafaring population on the Sea of
Azof, including the government pilots, are
in active completely with the pirates, but
that several of their boldest operations were
directed by one of the highest functionaries
of the Crimea, and suspicion even points to
the completely of one of the consuls resident
at Kertch About twenty Crimean mer-
chants are also compromised in the affair.
The method usually adopted by the pirates
was to exhibit false signals so as to lure YES
sells straight on to the dangerous reefs of the
Tauranian coast. The crews were then left
to perish on the rocks or were murdered.
After the vessels had been pillaged and the
pirates had helped themselves to what they
needed, the cargoes were transferred to other
vessels placed at the disposal of the pirates
by their silent partners at Kertch and else
where and conveyed to Constantinople,
Varna and Odessa, where they were sold in
the open market"

General Pryors Opinion of the Shooting of

LONDON, Oct. 21.-Gen, Pryor, O'Donnells
American counsel, in an interview
said he was satisfied O'Dcnnell
killed Carey in self-defense.
1t was proved beyond question that ODon-
nell went to Africa with no design of
killing Carey, and was unaware of the
latters presence on the steamer when
he embarked. Carey, according to Pryor's
theory finding himself discovered, provoked
q quarrel in anticipation of a blow which he
expected O'Donnell, as an Irishman, would
strike. Manslaughter, in Pryor's opinion,
was the utmost O'Donnell could be found
guilty of. Every effort is being made to
bring witnesses from Capetown to England.

DAYTON, o., Oct. 20.-A bold but unsuc-

train No. 80, on the Toledo, Cincinnati & ST.
Louis railroad, about two miles south of

grade, but luckily it was under control, and
was stopped before it reached the point at

circles, occasioned by the i'm
preston that Dukes, who has
figured in connection with the murder of
Fora Burns at Lincoln, is believed to
have been in and about Bloomington

Monday. A man answering Dukes's descrip-
ton, except that he had brown instead OF
red hair and mustache, came here some
time ago with horse and buggy,
ostensibly engaged in mending sewing ma
chimes in the country. He made several
trips in the country, passing by the names
of A. Orummond, Miller and Mason,
in different places. He left here
last Sunday, leaving his horse and
buggy and was seen no more until Monday
morning, after the murder flora Burns. On

asked for his horse and buggy at the livery
stable, and drove away. Since then nothing
mas been seen of him.

of Fora Burns During his stay here
he made frequent trips out of town on one
occasion going, as he said, to Decatur, and at
another time TO indianapolis.
