THREE MEN KILLED IN KENTUCKY.
A Fight Occurs at Stepstone, Caused by
an Old Grudge-Fire Arms Freely
Used by Both Parties-Other
Grimes and Casualties.

LOUISVILLE, Ky, July l9.-Meagre par
ticulars of triple tragedy that oc cured
at Stepstone, Kentucky, to-day, are just
received here The tragedy grew out of
the revival of an old grudge between the
town marshal, Perry Oakley, and John
Smith. Very few words We're exchanged
before Oakley fired on Smith. Before
Smith could return the fire he was shot
dead in his tracks. Mute Osborn, IA friend
of Smith, came up to take part, firing ut
Oakley, when he was himself shot in the
breast Just below the heart, dying in
half an hour afterwards Henry Smith, Il
brother of John, was next shot twice
once in the head and in the breast under
the heart He died at nine O'Clock last
night. The fight occurred in II. c. Hook
err x Co. : store, and it does not appear at
all clear who did the shooting, which was
all done with pistols. $50
\ man named Mcclure was going be
tween his house and store with loaded
shot gun in his hand when he was fired on
by Oakley without effect Mcclure re
turned the fire with his gun, the shot tax
ing effect in Oakley's right eye, neck and
body. Oakley was also shot by I'M
known parties. He was removed to the
residence of MajO Cassidy, where he lies
in a critical condition. All was quiet at a
late hour last night The inquest will bt
held to-day. More trouble is expected
as both sides are all well represented and
are full of fight.

for the interest of all, and not simply for
myself. South Pennsylvania is Il good in

between Pittsburg and Philadelphia for
the road. do not care particularly to give
ii up, but whatever do will be for the
benefit of all who are with me and for
the public good, when it comes to that

ADMIRAL JOUETT REPORTS
FROM UNITED STATES OF COLOMBIA
Account of the Recent Battle Between
Government Forces and the Rcvolu-
tionists--Good order Prevails on
the Isthmus of Panama

WAsuINGTON, July 20.-Under date of
July list Admiral Jouett has sent to the
navy department from Savanilla the re-
port of the condition of affairs in the
United States of Colombia. He makes
mention of the recent battle between the
government forces and revolutionists, in
which 1000 men were said to have been
killed. The Admiral says "The govern
ment troops, numbering about 1000, have
advanced from Cartagua to Calomar on
the banks of the Magdalena river, where
they are strongly entrenched. Calomar
is siXty-sN miles above Barranqu'la. In
addition to this land force the government
has now an efficient steamer called Cauco,
which is armed as vessel of war ana Is
ready to patrol the coast or to perform
any naval service which may be request
ed of her. The revolutionary forces num-
Der only about $500 men, but the revolu-
tionists hold a number of large river steam
ers and are therefore able to move about
freely on the Magdalena river, while the
government forces having but two small
steamers are obliged to move by land and
are therefore much lmpeded. On June
10 Gen. Camargo, a very prominent Co
lombian politician and leader, arrived at
this port in an English steamer and upon
of the revolutionary army. The arrival
of Gen. Camargo, who is a violent liberal,
effectually defeated the efforts to secure
peace by treaty, although there is no doubt
but that these efforts would have been
successful if he had remained away awhile
longer Gen. Camargo attacked the force
of about 1900 men with his whole army,
and although he claims to have won the
battle admits that he suffered severe
loss, which includes seven of his best gen
erals. 1t is reported that each side lost
about 800 men. The revOlutonists in
tend to contine their operations to the
Magdaena river and the interior. This,
together with the fact that the govern
ment has now steam vessels of war ON the
Atlantic coast. insures the lsthmus and
vessels on the high seas against any dis
turbancc 10y the rcvolutioniSts. All reports
from the lsthmus of Panama indicate that
peace and good order prevail There Is,
however an alarming epidemic of yellow
fever prevailing at Aspinwall and all over
the lsthnus."
Admiral Jouett SAYS the crews of all
vessels of the squadron that have remain
ed are much deblitated by the long Stay
in the tropics and unavoidable conline-
ment on board the ships and the dcpriNa-
ton of recreation.
