Correspondence Of the Morning NelUs.
BRUNSWICK. Dec. 27.-Christmas was cele-
brated noisily and with the inevitable whisky
features. With the exception of a few scrim-
images, in which no one was dangerously
injured, the day passed OF, and night fell on a
turbulent, rIotOus scene, in which numbers of
white and black were on the point of a con-
iict. The particulars are of little import
ance to your readers, but the intensity of the
excitement was due to the fact that Braxton,
the cOlOred military Captain, took a hand
in" and nearly precipitated bloody riot by
his Incorporate remarks He and one other
trooper are now under arrest, and will be
tried at the present term of the Superior
Court for assault with intent to murder and
perhaps be also indicted for riot
The Office of DR.. w. B. Burroughs was de-
strOyed by fire on Christmas night. 1t is not
known whether it was caused by fireworks or
due to incendiaTism.

A woMAN's HEART TORN OUT.
The Mangled Fragments of Mother and
Her Children.

Wheeling, W. "a, Special, 26tA.
Information was received here to-day
that Mrs. Elizabeth Sommerfield, a
widow, and her two young children, who
lived in lonely cabin near Baverly, were
brutally murdered some days ago and an
attempt made to conceal the crime by
burning the house.
The cabin stood on a portion Of the farm
of Capt. Job Parsons. near the long fork
of Cheat in a sparsely settled district, and
was some distance from any other habi-
tation. On Thursday last the mail car
rier ON the route from Leadville to the
mouth of the Seneca river, in Pendleton
county, was making his weekly trip to the
latter place, when he met two men. They
stopped and spoke to him and told him
that a cabin had been burned further
down the road.
When the carrier reached the spot indi-
Gated he saw the blackened ruins of Mrs.
Sommerfield's cabin. Alighting from his
horse he entered the grounds surrounding
the house, and was horrified to find
crushed skull, with portions of charred
flesh still adhering to it, protruding from
the melting snow. A few steps distant
lay a human heart, with the ground
about it stained with clots of bood, Near
these CHASTITY remnants was portion of
the breast of women, which had evil
IDENTIFY been forcibly torn from the body to
which it had belonged. Further search
brought to light smaller skull, number
of charred bones, pieces of half burned
flesh and large crowbar on which were
spots Of blood to which there clung human
hairs.
The mail carrier again mounted his
horse and rode rapidly to the store of
Capt. Sampson Snyder. The story of the
murder was quickly spread among the
peighboring farmers, and large number
They searched fa afmaohfg hfg 1tBB 1ttBe burned cabin;
further fragments OF what are believed to
have been the bodies of Mrs. Summerfield
and her children, but no clue to the per-
petrators of the terrible murder that had
evidently been committed
The bones and fragments of flesh that
were found were gathered together. and
after being viewed by the Coroner's Jury
that was at once impanelled, were buried.
Every effort is being made to discover the
identity of the murderer or murderers, but
as yet without success. 1t is believed
that Mrs. Sommerield was attacked on
Sunday night last while alone with her
children, and that she and they were then
killed. Their bodies, it is supposed, were
discovered with the hope that they
would be entirely consumed in the
flames of the cabin, which the murderer
must have fired. The scene of the terri
bic crime is so remote from other dwell
ings that no outcry made by the unfortu-
nate widow or her children could possi-
bly, be hear !, and the hills aud woods sur
rounding it served to conceal the flames
from view. 1t is known that Mrs. Som
merfeld did not possess such an imple-
ment as the crowbar found near the skull
it had crushed, and it is hoped that it may
prove clue to what is now a seemingly
impenetrable mystery.

THE FRENCH IN TONoUIN.

reports that a Force has Occupied the
Island of Hainan.
PARIS Dec. 28.-It is rumored on the
Bourse that French force has landed on
the Island of Hainan, which is opposite
the mouth of the Delta of the Red river
and commands the straits of Hainan,
through which all commerce via the Gulf
of Tonquin passes to Hong Kong. The
rumor thus far lacks confirmation.
Les Republique FRANCHISE and Havas
Telegraph Agency confirm the statement
of La NdtiOndle and La Temps that
France will exact some security for the
due discharge of the pecuniary response
bility incurred in the Tonquin campaign
by reason of the aggressive attitude of
China
A dispatch to La Temps from Canton
says that the VicerOy has been ordered to
send troops to the Tonquin frontier 1t is
rumored that Bacninh is beseiged by the
French and that the occupation of the
town is imminent.
MARsEILLEs, Dec. 2S.-The dispatch
ing of reinforcements to Tonquin is to be
hastened. Thegovernment has asked the
French steamship companies for trans
ports by which to send 1000 troops to
Tonquin Immediately.
PARIS, Dec. 30, 4 A. M.-The meeting in
the Latin quarter tonight was attended
by 500 students. 1t was resolved that in
view of the refusal of the editors of lie
Cri de Peuple TO apologize for the obnox-
iOus article, that four students should
visit the editors and demand satisfac-
ton by resort to arms. The
government has received no dispatch con-
firming the rumor of the landing of a
French force in Hainan. The comman-
der of the French squadron in Chinese
waters has not been instructed to land on
that island. Admiral Courbet, comman-
der of the French troops in Tonquin, has
not informed Admiral Peyron, Minister
of Marine, whether he intended after the

The Relations Between Senators and
REPRESENTATIVES,

WASHINGTON Special to Couris1-sTourlsaJ. Dec. 9e.
In an interesting conversation the other
day Mr.. Willis, of Kentucky, called atten-
tion to the change which has been almost
imperceptibly going on for years in the
personal relations existing between mem
bers of the Senate and House.
''When l came here six years ago.v he
said, 'there was the greatest cortliality
between Senators and Representatives.
There were the very dOsest intimacies
between the two classts of legislators.
This was especially the case be-
tween the Senators and members from
the same and adjoining States. Nothing
was more common than to see
fifteen or twenty Representatives on the
floor of the Senate or thesame number of
Senators in the House Now it is all
changed. The change las been gradual.
but sure. Except in yer, few cases, there
is no noticeable degree of intimacy be-
tween the houses. 1t not very often
that you see a Senator oI the floor of the
House or member on the floor of the
Senate, and when you dl the visitor evil
IDENTIFY looks as if he ouglt to explain how
he came to be there.n
Upon another subject Ir, Willis said
81 don't think the corporations and mo-
nopolies are going to paymuch attention
to the House. They hve got all the
legislation they want, think they can
get. What they desre is to keen
what they have. To do this they
must have a wheel solewhere to stop
their being deprived o it. There are
fewer members of the Snate than of the
House. 1t is to the Senae that they have
been paying and Will continue TO paw
their attentions. They ill try to make
the Senate check to tk House. There
are too many membersin the latter for
them to handle. They are going to let
the house run Wild"

DoRsEY's NEW AMBITION.
He Wishes to BE the First Senator
from New Mexico.
DeHrer Tribune, Dec. 90.

DeHrer Tribune, Dec. 90.
Stephen A. Dorsey, the eX-champion
expediter OF star routes, is once more be-
fore the public. This time he is not filling
the role of a defendant charged with de-
frauding the government, but as a plain
tiff against his partners in the great New
Mexican ranch, of which he is the largest
owner. He found that his partners were
Dlaying some tricks on him, and thinking
it best to put a stop to this order of things
he made application that receiver be APP
pointed, in whose hands the ranch should
be placed. The application was granted,
and the shrewd ex-senator is now de-
clared to be the master of the situation.
His friends say thatit is his intention to
become the sole owner of the ranch, and
will, in a few days, buy his partners out.
On Monday the son of Frank r. Sherwin
visited this city, and it was learned that
he was accompanied by Dorsey. Dorsey,
however, cannot be found. He came from
his ranch in New Mexico. A friend OF his
remarked yesterday that he is awaiting
the time when he will ''get even" with the
men who formerly were his friends, but
who. when he became the principal de-
fendant in the star route trial, deserted
him and endeavOred to shove him to the
wall.
The gentleman who made this remark
to a Tribune reporter is one of the oldest
residents Of Colorado and a warm per-
sOnal friend of DOrsey's. He believes
that Dorsey is not one of the Oyer-Teligi0us
men of the country. but thinks there are
many prominent men in this country
whose chief characteristic is not honesty.
"Does Dorsey feel that he has been per-
secuted by some Of his former friends!"
was asked "Yes. sir: / have no doubt
that he does, although / have never heard
him say so. l think, too, that he will yet
be on top Of the heap" "What do you
meanf- sit is not generally known that
steve Dorsey is political aspirant, but he
is all the same, and will yet be in position
which will compel those who haye en-
deavOred, and have partly succeeded, to
brand him as an outcast from the Repub-
lican party to be his friends" ''Fo what
political Office does Dorsey aspire" 'He
will be the first Republican Senator from
the State of New MexicO.r "His desire,
then, is to be returned to the United states
Senator Yes, sir; and the newspapers
and sO-called politicians Of this country
may as we'll make up their minds that he
wiIl get there" 'sIs Dorsey popular IN
| New Mexico?'' ''He is. He will be sup
ported by the entire party there, and will
/ himself use every e8Ort TO be sent TO the
Senate" Docs New Mexico desire to
be admitted as State?'' ''Yes: applica-
ton will be made shortly to enable the
/ Territory to adopt anew constitution, and
/ this will be followed by the admission Of
/ New Mexico as a State

New Measures and the Repeal of the
Scott Law Demanded.
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Dec. 2S.-The State
Convention of Liquor Dealers here ad-
journed this morning after perfecting a
State organization, with a committee of
fifteen to look after auXiliaries and the
legislation called for by the Committee on
Agitation. The following was adopted:
WHEREAS, The Legislature of Ohio at its
last session enacted certain law known as
the Scott liquor law, which Is in direct viO-
latiOn of the wise provisions of the cOnstitu-
ton of Ohio and derogatory to the business
interests of large class of persons, residents
Of Ohio, engaged in mercantile pursuits; and
WHEREAS, 1t is the opinion of all unbiased
and unprejudiced citizens of Ohio that traffic
in malt, VinOus and spirituOus liquors should
not be prohibited, as was most emphatically
expressed by them through their ballots on
the second Tuesday ofiOctober last; and
WHEREAS, Said Scott law was enacted for
the purpose of destroying and prohibiting
said traffic; therefore,
ReSoIDed, That we, as citizens of Ohio en-
gagged in the traffic of malt, vinous and spir-
ituCus liquors, in convention assembled. were
of the opinion that said Scott law is uncon-
stitutional and unjust, therefore respectfully
ask of the coming Legislature the enactment
of judicious and constitutional law and
thereby the repeal of the Scott law.

IRELAND AND THE IRISH.
The IdiOtic Bombast of a Buffalo CranL
Fully Exposed.

BUFFALO, Dec. 2S.-Some special cor
respondents here are making capital out
OF the actions of an acknowledged crank
and chronic nuisance, known as John j.
Mcbride, worthless Irishman, having
no connection with, and not acknowledge
ed by any reputable Irish organization of
this or any other city, who infests the
newspaper offices, and if unable in any
other way to secure the publication
of his cranky pronunciament0s to ENG
lands Queen" or to any other person
against whom he may imagine himself
aggrieyed, pays for them as advertised
matter. Following ODonnelps execution
he wrote numberless pOstals to officers
and men in authority in Canada, signing
fictitious names to them, giving out that
scheme was on foot for the terrible pur-
pose of blowing up Canada, etc. Mcbride
also gives out that he has person.
ally experimental with dynamite, etc..
and altogether makes himself ont
a terrible fellow. Last night an
alleged attempt was made to abduct Me-
Bride by what is given out as two Canadian
detectives, which was frustrated and the
morning papers publish it for what the
news is worth. Canadians need have no
fear of anything emanating from this
fellows movements. There is decidedly
no band Of invincibles or Irish avengers
in this city. Mcbride is chuckling over
the success of his scheme to terrorize
Canada and make himself an object of
notoriety. He has served a term in prison
for insulting ladies entering a church,
being drunk at the time. Buffalo people
would be happily relieved of McBride's
presence.
THE BISHOPS AND FENIANISM.
LONDON, Dec. 2S.-A Rome dispatch
states that the American Bishops remain

been arrived at by them concerning the
attitude of the Catholic clergy of the

American Bishops state that neither at
the propaganda conference nor at the
Vatican have they had any agreement,
any disagreement or any discussion in
any manner connected with Fenianism.
