Within the past week there has
been terrible fighting at Plevna. The
news is somewhat conflicting as us
ual, but it 6eems certain that the Rus
sians have been fearfully repulsed
which makes the Russian Bulgarian
campaign look like a monstrous fail
ure. We glean as follows from the
most authentic dispatches at hand :
AFFAIRS ABOUND PLEVXA.
London, Sept. 17. The following
has been received viaBuchurest, Sun
day night: Colonel Wellesly bus just
arrived from Russian headquarters
before Plevna and reports all quiet ex
cept intermittent firing around Grivi
ca redoubt, which is still held by the
allied forces. Military operations
were really closed Wednesday even
ing when the Turks recaptured the
double redoubt taken by SkobelolF.
The Russian commander-in-chief
could not or would not send reinforce
ments to hold this redoubt, and it was
evident the attack was at an end.
General Skobeloff lost 2.000 men in
attacking the redoubt. He lost 3,000
more holding it. An immense pro
portion of officers were killed or
wounded. Only one commander of
one regiment Is alive and scarcely a
head of a battalion Is left. Two offi
cers of the staft were killed, one of
whom was Vortschajren a brother of
the great artist, and another brother
was wounded.
ITWAS30D'S WILL:
m
A correspondent writes : I saw Gen
Skobeloffin his tent at night; he was
qutie, calm and collected. He said,
"I have done my best ; I could do no
more. My detachment is half de
stroyed ; my regiments do uotexifrt;
I have no officers left; I have lost
three guns." "Why did they refuse
you reinforcements?" I asked, "who
was to blame?" "I blame nobody,"
he replied, "it is the will of God."
The Russians have not abandoned
their position, and do not seem dis
posed to do so. On the contrary, they
are fortifying.
TURKISH ARMIES FORM A JUNCTION.
London, Sept. 17. Suleiman Pasha
has, it is said, effecteda junction with
Mebemet Ali. It seems probable
their combined forces may attempt
something against the czarowitch,
who was obliged to retire before this
junction was effected, may now be
forced to retreat still further, altbo'
the imperial guard now arriving rap
idly may put another face on affairs.
The daily Keics, strong pro-Russian,
thus sums up this intelligence :
Looking impartially at the facts
presented this morning we are una
bled to form any others conclusion
than the attack on Plevna has notou
ly failed, but so failed that it cannot
be renewed. Under conditions in
which the Russian commander finds
himself placed, he has attempted
what great German commanders nev
attempted in their French campaign
and has used up his slight superiority
of men with extraordinary rapidity.
He is liable to be attacked at anj' mo
ment at any given part of his front by
a force larger than any which be can
assemble there. In a word, heis beat
en. The battle reported atDudknick
in which the Russians were said to
have been defeated, must have been,
if at all. at a vilJaee five miles north
west of Virafza on the Rohova road.
Reports saj' that Osman Pasha has a
FORTIED POSITION ALMOST IMPREG
NABLE naturall3'at Viratza, upon which he
will retire if driven from Plevna.
Any how the Roumanian attempt to
cut his communications off seem to
have failed.

A Catholic priest named Grogan, of
St. Bridget's Church, Chicago, one
day last week, while on a car on the
Till, nois Central railroad, seeing the
Protestant Bible lying in its appointed
place in the car, picked it up and
threw it out of the window. The
conductor was about to pitch the old
intolerant rascal after it, when he
begged off by saying that he threw
the book away -because there were ob
scene pencilingsln It. This has since
been ascertained to bo a lie. No
doubt it was a falsehood, and that it
was his hatred of the Bible that caus
ed him to pitch it out of the window.
At any rate it was not his book and
none of his business what was in it.
The conductor hereafter ought to
make Cotholio priests ride in a hog

The State Fair which is to open next
week in this city is concentrating
all the attention of the western coun
try. We understand the board of manag
ers of the State Fair have prohibited
the selling of pools on the fair
grounds.
The recent order of the State Fair
managers prohibiting the selling of
pools will have the effect of keeping
away from tho city a large number of
sporting men. We presume the pools
will he sold in the city, or outside of
the grounds.
A private letter from a citizen of
Butler county, who has spent ten days
traveling in Seward, York and Butler

the largest throng of people ever gath

We heard an Omaha gentleman say
yesterday, that the coming State Fair

A Dead Shot.
The town of St. Elmo, 111., was're
cently thrown into intense excitement
and deep mourning b3T a tramp or des
perado who passed through that place.
The facts regarding the matter as re
ported are that on the morning of the
ISth inst. Mr. John Scoles went-to
his house from which he and his fam
ily had been absent for some days, and
on entering he discovered that it had
been robbed of several articles of val
ue, and noticed that the depredations
were of recent occurrence. This fact
induced him to institute immediate
search for the burglars. After look
ing carefully through the house and
outhouses, he went into the yard, in
the rear, and discovered a man ging
ropidly through the field and looking
back as though he was making his es
cape. Mr Scoles mounted a horse that
was near and started in pursuit. When
within forty or fifty yards of the par
ty, he (Scoles) ordered him to "halt."
This he did, but drawing a revolver,
with cooluess and deadly aim shot his
pursuer three times, once through the
head and twice through the body, kill;
ing him almost instantly, the deceas
ed living only long enough to tell the
facts as here given. The news
spread like wildfire, aud in less than
twenty-five minutes there were a hun
dred men with pistols, rifles, and
shot-guns, mounted on horseback and
wild with excitement, Hying after the
fast escaping fugitive. Although he
ran with nearly the swiftness of a
deer, he was soon overtaken by the
horsemen. As toon as the party was
in hailing distance the leader. Mr.
Frank Barnes, called out to him,
"halt, or you are a dead man." Wijjb
this the villain turned, and, with a re
volver iu each hand, began firing, the
first shot killing Mr. Barnes instantly
and the second, with his left hand
mortally wounding Frank Wiseman.
Changing agaiu to the right hand, he
killed a horse and with a yell worthy
of a demon rushed directly upon 'the
horsemen, making them scatter in all
directions. Not sutistied with seeing
the party retreat, he took deliberate
aim at the hindmost horseman,
wounding the animal so badly that he
fell to the ground, leaving his rider to
make Imb escape on foot.
He is without doubt a dead shot, as
all three of the men hit were shot
through the head. The desperado
soon gained the heavy brush and tim
ber and made his escape. His name
was not ascertained. He is described
as a man about35 years old, low, heavy
set, dark complextion, and would
weigh aboue 145 pounds.

Lake City, Cot,., Aug. 31. Ourpar
ty has crossed the rnuge and camped
ou the Pacific slope.
The Bafest way is to rely upon news
paper descriptions of this country
made up by correspondents who
write at long range. I have observed
that the romance of climbing moun
tains diminishes preceptibly as one
neara the summit, especially if the
trip is made on foot.
THE BURRO.
This country originally belonged to
the Utes and the cinnamon bear, but
the burro has supplanted them,
both in possession of me country aud
the affections of the people. "For
men may come and men may go, but
these remain forever."
The burro is a pocket edition of the
jackass, with ears so diligently revised
and enlarged that he cannot pass
through the eye of a needle nor enter
the kingdom of heaven. His duties
consist of carrying a load four times
greater than himself, and of subsist
ing on kicksor curses, as occasion may
require.
When he stumbles over precipices
and breaks bis neck, and musses up
bis nice long ears, he is expected to
bear It all with Christian fortitude.
Humility Is his best hold ; I have
known him to lie down uponacaEoof
"states" eggs without a murmur. His
food ranges the whole catalogue of
truck he is compelled to pack, from a
spring mattress to a side of bacon ;
therefore, consequently, it will beBeen
at a glance that his appetite must be
beautifully diversified and his diges
tive apparatus ready to march at a
moment's notice. I have never
New York. Sept. 11. At the ter
mination ot the colt race, Mr. Wil
liam Vnnderbilt drove his famous
team composed of Small Hopes aud
Little jlae ou the track and told the
judges that after jogging around the
course he would speed them a mile.
Moving slowly around to the draw
gate. Mr. Vanderbilt came forward
and all the gentlemen present who
possessed timers started them when
the team reached the line. The team
went round the turn and down the
hill at a great rate of speed, reaching
the quarter poll in 34J seconds. They
went along the back stretch without a
break, reaching the half mile pole in
1:10 QQd then came up the hill un
der the rocks iu a cradual incline of
over two hundred yards, with a beau
tiful action to the three-quarter pole
in 1 :45. They turned Into the stretch
without skip or break, and Mr. Van
derbilt with a steady hand guided to
the goal, which they reached in 2:23,
the fastest time ever trotted by a team.
The performance elicted a great deal
of enthusiasm, and when Mr. Vander
bilt was apprised of the time he ex
pressed great astonishment and was
the recipient of hearty congratula
tions. The preformance of the team
will be better appreciated when It is
known that the weight drawn by
them was over 340 pounds. At Sara
toga, last month, Mr. Vanderbilt said
that the first time be drove his team
over .Fleetwood track this fall, he
would trot them In 2 :25 or better, and
the realization of his desire brought
out tho enthusiasm for the horse,
which he has inherited from the Com
modore, his father.

consumed in attempts to harmonize
opponents to the Cincinnati ticket

to withdraw their state ticketand join

The platform demands payment of
