$3.50 OF Mrs. Carm0ra's money seems to have
taken flight also.
Mrs. Carmora procured a warrant, and the
runaways were found at the forest OF Dean
mines. 10 the mountains OF the Hudson high
lands. With abe money he bad taken from
his landlady Crettelle had used his newly
made companions pretty well, aud when the
officers bounced upon him his friends stuck
10 him. Revolyers were drawn on both
sides, aud in the general make that ensued
several shots were fired, The officers OF the
law were compelled 10 retreat.
Newburg was then visited for posse OF
deputy sheriff., and Under sheriff Presler
gave the requisite authority. When the
posse reached the mountains again they
found Cregtelle dead. Nov the coroner is
trying to discover who 1t was that killed the
Italian. The only weapon the officers had
when the melee took place failed to respond,
and 1t Is supposed that the mat was killed by
some of the men with whom he bad been
having such good times. Acting upon this
theory the deputy sheriifs were given orders
TO arrest all the Italians they could find there
who were present at the time OF the fraess.
Two men named Steadmani and Bornotello
are under arrest. Rosa Carmora was also ar
rested.

Republicans Fearing Thurman's
HODuiarIfy.

A Washington special 10 the New York
Herald says : In 1880 Mr.. Fuller, the nominee
for Chief Justice, urged 10 an interview with
your correspondentthe selection Of Allen &.
Thurman for the second place on the ticket
to be nominated at Cincinnati. He gave as
his reasons the importance Of bringing to the
campaign the two States which the Republic
cans had taken their nominees from-yiz.
Ohio and New York. Garfield and Arthur
had already been nominated, and Mr.. Fuller
wanted the Democratic ticket 20 be Seymour
aud Thurman-New York aud Ohio. After
eight years New York and Ohio domaine the
ticket, aud tie old Roman Is the nominee for
the second place. Against II Is matched In
diana aud New York Harrison and Morton.
The wisdom OF selecting Mr.. Thurman Is
becoming more aud more evident 10 the Re-
publcans, who really fear The popularity OF
the senator in his own State and IN Indiana.
As he intends 10 devote all his energy to 8
Just presentation OF the real Issues 10 the
canpaign The Republican leaders are appre-
hensive lest the great confidence the masses
have In his judgment, his integrity, and
ability in discussing the tariff problem will
make their campaign 10 these two States ur-
usually difficult. Mr.. Blaine Is alone relied
upon TO masne,ize the people and counterfeit
the work MIR. Thurman Is expected to &c.
complish.

A Detroit (siich.) telegram says: local

township five brothers BY the name OF Drost
have lived for some years. They have always
borne o bad name, and were q terror TO
the whole surrounding country. For
some time highway rObberics have occurred
IN the vicinity, and the number was
constantly increasing. Only few weeks
ago three took place in one night IN Traverse
CITY. The men were relieved OF small sums
Of money, watches &c. All Of these crimes
have been laid at the door OF the Drost boys,
aud especially 10 :. Dirk" the eldest, but no
direct proof was attainable. About a week
ago Theodore CASTOR, young married
farmer living in Mayf Township sold a
yoke OF oxen for sl3O. Monday, while
working out his highway tax on the road
with his neighbors, he told "Dlrk" Drost
OF this sale. Wednesday night. a.
Castor was about goi'g 10 bed some
one Knocked at his door. He asked
who was there. man answered that he
wanted drink. Castor's wife begged him
not 10 admit the callers. While they were
talking two men with blackened faces burst
open the door, blew out the light, and fred a
revolver at Castor. lie sprang cut ot the
door into the ward. The men followed,
seized him. and demanded his money.
After a sharp struggle he succeeded in
breaking away from his assailants and got
back into the house. Then he remem-
bered an old shotgun which he had
borrowed OF a neighbOr few davs before.
lie seiZad 1t from where it hung on the
wall and IN the darkness shot at
the robbers. At ihat moment George Drost
stood near Castor In the act Of firing revolt
yer Mt him. "Dirk" Drost was a little back
Of his brother. Castof's shot took of
GEORGES thumb, which rested on the revolt
YER, and put four or i've shots in bis sboul-
der. The rest OF the charge entered
"Dirk's" lungs. The robbers then retreated
from the room, and Castor, barricadlng the
door. sat before It in his chair with shotgun
in band all night, as he feared return Of the
robbers. When daylight came he found
DIRK Drost dead by the fence.
The ground was torn IN by The struggles
Of the fight. A loaded gun and revolver Inv
near by. George Dros. bad dragged himself
a mile to an old choppine, where in the
morning his calls for help were heard, aud
he was taken 10 a neighboring barn. He
has SINCE been placed under arrest and has

Baudin are OF the thickness Of lGt inches.
The former Is also more powerfully armed

these advantages she carries into action

aud an angular screen OF inch plating.
Her armament will consist Of two il0-ton

ahead. and also, In consequence OF The con-
formation II The supersiructure, on the side

twelve 6-pOandCr and nine 3-pourdfr

Victoria will be able ~ discharge from The
hroadside $50 pounds Of metal slmuts-
neously, consuming 5000 pounds OF powder.
She T. also tilted with eight torpedo dis
chargers. This stuDen6ous fighting machine
will have a complement Of $50 officers and

Ing to the navy estimates. for the current
year, the total cost OF the Victoria. including
hui, machinery, and guns, is Gsl7.S4l.
The Victoria has been supplied With twin
screw triple expansion engines by Messrs.
Humphrys, Teubrant & Co., OF DeDuord.
The cylinders ARE 43 inches. 90 inches. ana

stroke OF 4 feet inches. The contract

To-day was a dull day Of whole dull week,
and the Less that Is done the more disposed Is
one to cay nothing Of that little, hence monoto-
nous reports.
From Durham we learn that since June I'd no
rains nave yet fallen. Otherwise there seems TO
be moisture enough Ia the ground In all other
quarters, and we hear nothing Of booming
markets. Words 10 the contrary do not check
decline. Our stocks ares so far not diminishing,
and whenever there Ii rush OF upland tobacco
In the interior markets, the low prices heralded
tempt our few buyers to give orders there In
stead Of buying here. This hurts the upland
holder there aud trade here also, hence with
other potent reasons We contend 30 strongly for
a strong home market. In this way TOO, Rich
mond frequently furnishes capital to compete
with herself Several Of our warehouses arc so
full tina; they have stopped receiving this week.
We hope the warehouses viii all have
their statements ready Monday TO hand
I'm 20 tho inspectors. So far the western
markets. even with recent rains, continue
strong. Both buyers and sellers say that 1t Is
probable that the Old and new Burnley stock Is
too small for any decline. even with better crop
prospects.
