The War In Euypt.

CAIRO, February General Gordon has
written to Ell Mahdi requesting him to send
his European prisoners to Khartoum. In
formation has been received that on the
10Th inst. Tewfk Bey attacked the besieg-
ers of Sinkat, and inflicted severe losses
upon them. His own loss was nineteen
killed and fifty wounded. General Gordon
has telegraphed here that shakoor, the new
Sultan of Darfour, is drunken boy, of no
decided character. Tewfik Bey has CON-
veyed word from Sinkat that unless
his garrison is relieved he will be
obliged to sally out tomorrow, the
means of subsistence being completely ex-
hausted. The garrison have eaten every
animal, even every dog in the town, and
have only some horse-skins and one bag of
barley left. Dispatches received from
Baker Pasha state that on January % his
command engaged in a skirmish with the
outposts of the rebels near Tokar. The
Turkish element in Bakers army behaved
shamefully, showing cowardice. On Janu-
ary "A another skirmish ensued, in which
the rebels lost ground. Baker, with $3.50
| men, intended to attack Tokar to-day, and
though opposed by 10000 men, expressed
| himself confident of success.
LONDON, February 1.-The commander at
Tokar, in the Soudan, writes: SIT would be
| impossible for our condition to be worse.
| The rebels have filed up all the wells out,
| side of the town. The water inside is
| brackish and bad, and the troops are suf.
| fering with diarrhoea. There is great feal
that it will be necessary shortly to surrend
| er. Only from ten to twenty rounds of am
munition per man is still left. The rebel:
continue firing day and night"

The Ali Baba of The CAPITAL.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-Quite sen.
sation has been created here by the dis
covery that the Capital of the Nation con,
tanned among its other novelties band OF
thieves, which have been operating for, some
time under the name of "Sons of Rest"
The story of Ali Baba and his forty thieves
has parallel in fact right in the heart Of
this city. Within the past forty
eight hours detectives have unearthed
desperate organization of thieves
and highwaymen, whose extensive opera
tions in Washington were chronicled from
day to day in the daily newspapers. The
band numbers twenty-six men and boys,
white and colored, whose ages range from
sixteen to thirty years, and is known among
the crooked fraternity as the ''Sons Of
Rest" They have met almost nightly for
many weeks in the loft of a dilapidated
stable in Temperance alley, between Ninth
and Tenth and d and E streets Northwest
the very business center of Washington
without molestation by the police. The
fact that such an organization existed was
brought to light by the McDevitt robbery ,on
the Glenwood road, several nights ago. De-
tectlve Edelin, was assigned TO that case,
and while working it up" he discovered
that one of the robbers of McDevitt's house
had left his hat in the front room on the
night of the robbery, and taken in its stead
fine fur cap. Armed with this clue, the
UOGcCGlSc WSIlU 10 WOTK, anu III u lew uOuTS
captured white youth in Murder Bay"
with the missing fur cap on his head. The
boy was interrogated as to who his compan.
ions in the robbery were, but he refused to di.
vulge anything relating to the matter. Be-
ing pressed, he said: sit would be worth
my life to say one word" Some time later
he decided to "give the whole thing away"
He said: 81 am member of the Sons of
Rest. Our purpose is stealing and the mu-
tual protection of each other. We are
compelled to take a solemn oath to pro-
tect our fellows. We have grips, pass
words and signals. Regular meetings are
held and different men assigned to Jobs
about town. Our captain goes about
during the day and pipes Off stores
and houses; then at the meeting he re-
ports, and puts men on to the 'lays.'" This
youth was placed behind the bars of the
Fifth Precinct, and the detectives took the
trail again. By O'Clock yesterday morn
lug they had captured six more of the
'Sons of Rest" and had them resting safe
ly in the Station-house cells. The prison.
ers presented a motley appearance, and
were of that class commonly known as
"hard-looking customers" The detec
tives afterward looked up the "fence,'
or receivers of the plunder of the
thieves, and succeeded in capturing col
ored woman, named Nellie Washington, in
her ranch in one of the hardest localities
of Murder Bay" A quantity of silver
ware and other articles were found on her
premises.

A Horrible Deed.

ALBANY, Mo-, February 3.-The dead
body of William Bradshaw, wealthy far
mer living eleven miles from this town, in
Gerty County, was found near his home
yesterday, with his head crushed with
club, and his face, palms of his hands, and
the soles of his feet burned to crisp. The
indications about the premises are that the
old man was assaulted by robbers, who
tortured him with fire to make him reveal
the hiding place of his money, and after.
ward beat him to death with O bludgeon.
1t is not known whether the robbers OBJ
tanned any money, but as it is supposed
Bradshaw had a large sum concealed in
his house, it is believed they did. There Is
no clew to the perpetrators of the diaholi-
cal deed, but tracks around the house show
that three men were engaged in it. There
is great excitement in the neighborhood,
and should the murderers be found it is
believed that they will be lynched.

store, the second and third stories being
used for tenement apartments. His
block was leveleo to the
ground, and two brick blocks.
one on each side, succumbed to the sho ok,
while others further away were shattered,
riddled, and badly injured. In few mo
ments flames arose from the ruins and the
fire alarm was sounded. Such excitement
prevailed that the fire gained SO much head
way as to nearly consume the ruins aud
burped two houses before it was got under
control. ltwaS known that six or more peo-
pie We're killed, or were then imprisoned in
the wreck and would have perished by the
fire. F. NJ. Orr, Elmer Orr, his son, Mrs.
Homer Highland, daughter,
Mrs. Frank Evans, two children,
were known to haye been in the building at
the time of the explosion. These all per.
ished. The women and children were in the
second and third stories, and are supposed
to have been killed by the falling walls.
Mr.. Orr and son were both spoken to while
confined under the debris, but were burned
to death. These bodies were all recovered
at 10 O'Clock tonight, and were SO crushed
and charred as to be hardly recognizable.
The only person in the Orr building known to
have escaped was Frank Evans, whose

killed, the following have broken limbs or
are cut and bruised by flying timber, etc
Robert Joice, Frank Evans, Frank Fries,

rel, and the fluid ran out on the floor. Mr..
Orr was mopping it up when the gas aris-
ing therefrom ignited from the gaslight.

An Enolish firm have recently

An English firm have recently COM
pleted a small, light compound engine,
which in point of weight eclipses any
thing heretofore built. This engine is
made of steel and phosphorbronze; al
parts are built as light as possible, the
rods and shafting and I'll parts possible
being bored out to reduce weight. At
a speed of only 300 revolutions q min
ute they indicate over 20 horse power
and weigh but l05 pounds all told. This
engine would give fully 30 horse power
actual at piston speed of 800 feet Il
minute. The size is 81 high pressure,
y low pressure and 3 stroke. That
80 horse power can be had from a prop
er utilization of steam and proper dis
tribtion of 1O5 pounds of metal is GER
tainly most astonishing. especially so,
considering that the engine is COM
pound. A ship of $500 tons displace-
ment was almost unknown fifty years
ago; to-day the transatlantic steamer
the highest class of the mercantile
marine, has from 5000 to 1880 tons
displacement, and engines of 5000

The cutting of diamond, believed
to be the largest ever cut in this coun-
try, was recently completed in Boston,
the process having occupied something
more than three months. The stone
was found in South Africa and was i'm
ported by a New York firm. Its weight
in the rough was nearly 125 carats.
The gem. rs perfected, is brilliant,
though of marked yellowish tinge.
As cut, it weighs seventy-seven carats,
The yellowish tinge disappears in arti
fetal light. The value of the stone,
which is about two-thirds as large as
the Kohi-noor diamond, can not be
stated, as diamonds of unusual size have
no absolute value.
