Than They Were in July Last Year.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The receipts of
the government for July were in round
numbers $29,OOO,OOO against $32, 900, 900 for
July of last year. The miscellaneous
receipts were nearly 81, ,OOO, 900 larger, but
the custom receipts were less by nearly
$4,O0O,O0O than they were during July of
last year. The amount of internal reye-
nue. was very nearly the same. The ex-
penditures were $4,000,000 less than for
July of last year. This decrease oc-
Cured entirely in pension payments.
The expenditures during the first
month of every fiscal year are always
heavy. The expenditures last month
were over $4,000,000 in excess of the re-
ceipts, but this excess in July of last
year was over $5,000,000. The reduction
of the public debt for July last year was
over $S,000,000, but for July OF this year
it was less than $4,000,O00. The public
debt statement issued to-day shows that
the Indebtedness of the Pacific Railroad
Company to the government now amounts
to about $109, 100000. The available cash
balance in the Treasury to-day is nearly
$40, 100000. 1t is expected that another
bond call Will be issued in few days.

has treated Sims with his usual ingrati.
tude. Sims suffered severe financial
losses oy his devotion to Malone. 1t was at
the suggestion of the latter that he came
70 Washington last winter to direct the
DanYllle investigation on the part of the
Readjusters. This he did, relieving
Malone entirely. Malone promised him
position here commensurate with his
abilities and achievements, and asked
hlm to accept temporarily the position in
the oftice Of the Sergeant-At-Arms.
KNOWS HE WAS BETRAYED,
This, Sims says now, he sees was a mis-
take. Malone also urged him to 90 as
delegate to Chicago. When, however,
Malone discovered that Sims was
not for Arthur, he tried
to prevent him from going, but Sims was
stronger than Malone in his own district,
and he elected himself and his colleague
WIngteld Scott, as Logan and Blaine
men. Malone told Sims personally, and
through his henchmen, that he was dig
ging his political grave, and that Malone
would never cOndOne such open rebellion.
Then came Mahone's public excOmmuni-
cation in Chicago of the four Blaine dele
gates in the Virginia delegation, where
in he formally read them out
OF the Republican party. Sims told him
to his face that he was tyrant, and that
no party could ever hope for perma-
nent success which was led by bosses,
such as Malone, who allowed no liberty
OF either thought, speech or action on the
part of their followers. Hence the rup-
ture

Payment of the Indemnity Demanded

LONDON, Aug. Ia dispatch from
Foo Chow, dated July 81, says that China
has refused to pay the indemnity demand
ed by France. The time granted China
by France to decide upon the matter has
been prolonged beyond Aug. /. A secret
edict has been issued ordering the Chi
nese not to modest foreigners. French
civilians and mandarins, however, assert
that the lives of foreigners are not safe.
The English flagship is landing sailors to
act in defense of foreigners in Foo Chow
China's merchant fleet has been sold to
an American firm for 5, ,250, 900 taels, near
~ $7,3OO,OOO. War, to all appearance, is
imminent.
A dispatch from Foo Chow of this date
states that great panic prevails there.
Foreigners are arming for defense, ladies
are leaving the city, and the French Con-
sui Is preparing to go aboard gunboat.
WAR THOUGHT CERTAIN.
A dispatch of to-day from Foo Chow as
serts that the general impression in that
city is that war between France and
China is inevitable. Marines, landed from
the British corvette Champion, assisted
by the gunboat Merlin, are guarding the
foreign settlement.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-While Mrs.
Bridget Boyle, aged 80 years, Mrs. Mary
Kelley, SO, Daniel Gallagher, 18, Thomas
Corran, %, and Annie Carol, 10, servants
girls, were seated at supper at No. AT
North Ninth street, in this city, this even
ing, Mrs. Boyle produced a box contain
ing 100 pills, and after taking one herself,
offered them to the others, VINO took some.
When the box was handed back to Mrs.
Boyle she took all that remained. Shortly
after all were taken ill and upon investiga-
tiOn it was learned that the pills they had
taken were strychnine, and contained
one-twentieth of grain each. Annie
Carol died this evening, and all the 9TH
ers are in a critical condition. 1t is not
known for what purpose the pills were
obtained, but it is probable that all were
unaware of their nature and swallowed
them in a bantering spirit.

His Appointment as Chief of the Bureau

able.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The idea Of
appointing Commander Schley Chief of
the Bureau of Equipment and Recruiting
originated outside of the department.
This gallant officer doubtless feels amply
compensated by the distinction he has
already achieved. 1t is hardly to be ex-
pected that he will be appointed chief
OF bureau when such officers
as Capt. Harmony and Capt. Belknap
in the next higher grade are available for
this duty. 1t is true that Capt. Sicord
was made Chief of Ordnance while yet on
the Commanders list, but that appoint
ment was made because special knowl-
edge and study was required to fill that
place, and Commander Sicord was
thought to be the best equipped as an
Ordnance Officer. Secretary Chandler has
not yet intimated what his preferences
are in regard to filling the next bureau
vacancy

of the AleXanders, young men, saw
them from the house and ran down to in

Years, and Mcdonnell BaiIed.
LONDON, Aug. 1.-The trial of the
dynamiters at Warwick was concluded
to-day. Mcdonnell, who pleaded guilty
to a charge of treason felony, was re-
leased on bail, James Eagan was SEN
fenced to penal servitude for twenty
years, and John Daley for life. Daley's
defense of himself was very able. He
argued that nothing had been proved
against him, except that he had borne
an assumed name, but the Queen moved
about under assumed names. Why
had he not as good a right ?
He asked for justice, not mercy. lie was
gratified that he was on trial before Eng

COTTON IN TEXAS.
The Crop in Good Condition. and Good
Yield Probable.


HOUSTON, TEX, Aug. 1.-The Houston
Post publishes special crop reports from
1876 points in Texas. The reports from
counties in Northern Texas show the cot
ton crop to be in fine condition, plenty of
rain having fallen in this section. The
crop will exceed the average. In Central
and Eastern Texas upland cotton is suf-
fering from drou ght. and rain is greatly
needed, but in the river bottoms and low
lands planters claim to have had sufficient
rain, and the cotton crop will exceed
that of last year. In Southern and West
ern Texas rain is also needed, though
not as badly as in other sections. Taken
as whole the reports indicate that with
out any rain the crop of cotton is equal
to, if not in excess of last year, and with
| general rains within the next two weeks
the crop will equal that of 1882. No re-
ports of worms are received, though at
this time last season worms had ap-
| peared in large numbers. Reports of
rains in Cherokee and Lampasas counties
are received with indications of rain in
other sections. The corn cropis reported
as much above the average in nearly all
sections except in a few counties where
| it was planted late, and is now suffering
with drought. In many counties corn
will yield sixty bushels to the acre and
| will average thirty bushels to the acre
| throughout the State.

ARCH ORNfE DEAD.
The Removal of Part of the Bullet Fails
to Save His Life.

ATLANTA, Aug. 1.-Arch Orme, who
for several years filed acceptably the DO
sltion of ticket agent at the union pas
senger depot in this city, and who on the
morning of May 81 last shot himself In
the head with pistol with suicidal in
tent, died at his home in this city tonight
at O'Clock. When he sent the pistol
bullet into his brain his accounts with the
railroads were short about $4,000. which
amount was due the Atlanta and Char
lotte Airline, the Georgia Pacific Rail-
way, the Atlanta and West Point
Railroad, the Central Railroad of Georgia,
and the Pullman Palace Car Company.
The shortage was first made public by
the officials of the Atlanta and Charlotte
Air Line. Since shooting himself, Orme
has paid up all of his shortages, as soon
as notified what was due each company,
and now owes nothing to the railroads
doing business through the union ticket
office. For some time after shooting him
self he seemed to get along well, remain
ing perfectly conscious. A few days ago
physicians noticed that the wound was dis
charging considerable quantity of pus,
and after holding a consultation, de-
termined to probe for the ball. Their con-
clusions were that as long as the ball re-
manned in the skull pus would continue
to discharge, and that death would ensue
II the ball was not taken out. The wound
was probed 3 inches and portion of the
bullet found, which was taken out. Since
the operation Orme's condition has been
on the decline, and continued so until to-
night, when death released him of his
troubles. Orme, while suffering with the
wound, has refrained from telling
any one the cause of his action, but has
left letter with a confidential friend
containing the secret, which has never
been opened, and probably never will be,
as it is in the hands of relatives. The
deceased is nephew of A. j. Orme, General
Superintendent of the Atlanta and West
Point Railroad. He was much liked and
generally admired by all who knew him.

improbable Newspaper Charges Affect
ing the Family of a Banker.

AhpIODaDie newspaper CnaFses Anect-
ing the Family of a Banker.
SAN Francisco, July 3O.-The Hill
/ Sharon trial promises to come to an end
in about two weeks, but numerous diff
culties have sprung from it that are likely
| to keep the courts busy for many months.
Papers are being prepared by Thomas
Bell for criminal action against the Arqus.
and James A. johnson and Walter Turn
bull, publishers of the Altd, and also a
damage suit for $4,000 against each of
the latter. The Otfense charged is the
! publication of an atTOciOus and highly
improbable story last Thursday in rela-
ton to Bells wife, the substance of which
is briefly as follows:
Thomas Bell is a capitalist, one OF the
Directors Of the California Bank, and
about 20 years old. He married about ID
years ago woman scarcely halt his own
age. Thomas Bell desired progeny, and
agreed to set aside a sum, conceded to be
$4,000 for each heir born, and soon merry
childish laughter ran through the Bell
mansion, until after scarcely twelve years
of married life seven fine children bear
the name Of the millionaire. Bell and
Sharon were friends, and the latter. well
Versed in the ways of the world, finally
ventuTed to whisper to the friend that the
heirs were not bona fide. Bell rejected
the suggestion, and GOODNESS sprang up
between them.
The Alta also alleges that Housekeeper
Nanny Plaisance in BelPs house came
to the aid of Mrs. Bell, with the found
ling hospital as her hacker. SharOn's ex-
pressed doubts made Mrs. Bell and Man,
my Plaisance his sworn enemies, and the
latter figured considerably as a friend IN
Sarah Althea Hills suit against Sharon.
The paper goes on to tell of the arrival
in the Bell household of twins-a boy and
girl-last year, to one of which it saws
another woman lays claim. In an inter
view with the cOlOred nurse she is alleged
TO have said that no two of the seven chill
| dren resemble each other, and that they
have red, black, brown and blonde hair,
| all kinds of eyes, some resembling the
! Irish, some the Germans, some being
| Frenchy in appearance.
The Altd concludes: "Another evil
/ dence is that there is a law requiring all
/ physicians to file records of birth, and a
I search of the records fails to disclose a
/ single entry Of birth in the Bell family.''

Vessels in the HarbOr and People on
Shore Welcome Him.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., Aug. Com
mander Schley's vessels, the Bear and
Thetis, of the Greeley relief expedition,
arrived here this morning, one day earlier
than they were expected. Secretary
Chandler ordered the plan of reception and
naval review arranged for tomorrow to
be carried out to-day, which was done.
Lieut.. Greely's wife and mother are here,
and great number of distinguished per-
sons have gathered to do him honor. The
Tennessee, Tallapoosa, Alliance, and a
number of other naval vessels and
whalers and the Bear and Thetis took
part in the review, and the harbor was
crowded with private craft.
A numerous company Of invited guests
including many distinguished persons and
the families Of naval officers, were carried
by naval steam launches to the flagship
Tennessee, on the quarter deck of which
the chief ceremonies were held. Here
Secretary Chandler received the COM
manders of the Thetis, Bear and Alert.
Lieut.. Greedy did not leave his ship, but
after an affecting meeting with his wife
and mother, who came on board, he was
visited by Secretary Chandler and Com
mOdOre Luce. After half an hour spent
in conversation and general hand-shaking
the commanding officers of the relief ships
returned to their vessels. Many were the
appeals made by all classes of people
to Secretary Chandler to permit them to
go on board the Thetis to catch glimpse
of the Arctic hero, Greely, but these re-
quests were invariably refused. just
before dark Lieut.. Greely, his wife,
mother and brothers-in-law were taken
ashore in the Acting AdmiraPs barge
and were driven to the residence of that
officer, where they will remain until they
go to NewburypOrt. The other survivors
remain on board the ThetIs for the pres
ent. Gen. Hazen accompanied Secretary
Chandler on his visits to the relief SQUAD
ron and notified the survivors, that they
would be promoted as soon as they were
well enough to occupy the positions that
would be opened for them.
