A correspondent who has been
taking a look at and about Samana
Bay , writes of the Samana B.ay Co.
as follows :
"This company commenced by
building a hotel on the top of the
mountain , winch in thjs plimate I
would call inaccessible ; it is half
finished , and that part is already
rotten by rain and sun. Little fur
ther down the mountain , a bilb'ard
room , or rather a barn is half fin
ished , also gone to decay : still fur
ther down conies the Governor's
house , and Prof. Howe's small
wooden shanty containing three
very small rooms , with a kitchen
attached , and to get up to this house
in this hot clitnate is a task that
none would seek for plpasurp. I
visited them nnd at every step
lizzards of all colors would
bounce out of the grass
as \ \ as in the houses. The
company sold all its od furniture in
the shape of desks and chairs , early
in June ; tbe only thing they now
possess is a small steam launch go
ing to decay , as no coal is there to
run } t , and no trace. The Samana
Bay Cojnpapy is absolutely defunct
ai.d forgottpn th.erp ; it has left noth
ing behind it upon which to build a
in. mument or a scrap of ground it
could call its own. "

! ? KW YORK , Aug. 11.
Booth's theatre opened last night
under the management of Jarrett < fc
Palmer , late of .Niblo's , and was
distinguished by a crowded attend
ance to witness the new play "Belle
Lamar , " written by Dion Boucci-
cault , for John Mc.CulIou.gh , of San
Francisco. The play Is a national
one , selected by the author from a
scene in the late war at Period
Spring , in 1862 , in the Shenandoah
Valley. The play is well mounted
and has a telljug situation in each
act. The leading role is lilled by
John MoCullough , whose imperson
ation of the character is a careful
one. The Tribune says .an actor
having none of John McCullough's
genius , and but half his talent ,
would act Colonel Bligh in an affec
tive manner. Mr. McCullough's
personation is powerful , brilliant ,
tender , and full of line intuitive
touches , but the part is not big
enough for the man.
The Herald says that in Colonel
Bligh , Mr. McCulIough finds a role
suited at once to his teniperament ,
and hs } fisperatlons after licriocism
and his presentation of character
was full of manly dignity and
power. In hjs reading a marked
improvement was visible , and a
tendency to pitch his voice on the
highest key had almost completely
disappeared. Mr. Boticicault was
four times called out , and Mr. Mc-
Cullough and Miss Randolph were
warmly welcomed and twice re
called.
BROOKLYN , Aug. 11.
The session of the investigating
committee last evening was strictly
private , Ijke all for injecting. Dis
trict Attorney Winslow in reply
to * anxious enquiries by mem
bers of the press regarding Moul-
ton's statement ) said ; "You will
havp to await developments ; it will
"
come in "good time , when you can
all have them. "
Moulton , Tilton and Butler were
together jn Moulton's house yester
day , b.ut thp purport of their inter
view cannot be learned. It is said
that Butler is here in connection
with the Jayne Custom House suit ,
in which three hundred thousand
dollars is involved , and in which
Moulton's firm , Woodruff , Robin
son & Co. , are coqcerqcd. Beecher
was not examined by the com
mittee last evening.
The Eagle publishe a letter from
George H. Beecher , in which he ex
plains the circumstances connected
with Mrs. Hooker's alleged threat
'
of exposure 'against Henry Ward
Beecher. She was laboring under
violent mental pypjtempnt at the
time , anq she threatened to invade
his pulpit. She did not pretend to
have any other evidence than the
statements of Woodhull , Stanton
and Anthony. She desired that
Beecher would place himself at the
head of the "new women's move
ment , and she'and the others would
uphold him. Beecher talked the
matter over with her and soothed
ber , considerably. He made no do
njal of her charges for the reason
that that would have involved an
explanation of matters which he
{ lid " not wsh to confifjp tq her.
jr. Shpnqau , jnember pf the
pommjttee , stijted tijs | afternoon
that everything o1
Beo-- * " . . . .gatory to
„ . . outa'.ned during the inves
tigation had been published already ,
but the committee retained all evi
dence favorable to Beecher until
tU-jy made their report ,
LYNCIIBURG , Va. , August 11.
Information of a bold jail break
ing at 1'ottsylvania Court House in
this State , has just been received
heie. The following are the partic
ulars :
Yesterday at nooowhile , the jailor
was carrying to the prisoners con
fined in the jail , their dinners , four
of them , headed by the murderer ,
Joe Clark , made a desperate assault
upon him , scizingand choking him.
In the struggle thejailor was thrown
over the banisters , and down the
stairway , bruising him considerably
although not dangerously. The
prisoners then succeeded in forcing
open the back door , making good
their escape. Immediate pursuit
was given. William Smith , charged
with forgery , who had escaped , was
recaptured. Clark and others are
still at large.
WASHINGTON ; August 11.
It is stated on the authority of a
prominent postolHce official that
the contractors for furnishing postal
cards have never yet furnished a
card equal in the quality of the
paper to the requirements of the
contract. Notwithstanding that
the department takes no means to
enforce compliance with the con
tract , which is for four years with
three to run ; to allow the present
company to go on furnishing an in
ferior card is regarded as an injustice
to other companies who bid for the
contract. The subject will remain
in abeyance until the arrival of
of Postmaster General Jewell.
At the last session , congress or
dered the manufacture of a medal
of reward for the rescue of the Metis
and also one to be distributed to
persons employed at the life-saving
stations who might hereafter risk
their lives in rendering service to
vessels and persons in danger of
shipwreck. Tbe director of the
mint having charge of the construc
tion of the medals has issued a cir
cular inviting artists to compete for
the designs for the same , and ofler-
iuff $2CO reward for each design ac
cepted , the latest date at which such
designs can be submitted is the 15th
of September.
jNiw IORK , August 11.
The tone of the papers this morn
ing expresses considerable disap
pointment over the non-procure
ment of the key notes and docu
ments presented to the Plymouth
Church committee by Moulton yes
terday , and the New York journcls
have necessarily omitted the antici
pated startling head-lines which it
was expected the public would be
gieetcd with. There was a great
demand for newspapers this morn
ing. The occupants of cars and pas
sengers on ferry boats were ea'gerly
hailing news venders , all anxious to
take a glance at Moulton's disclos
ures before commencing the labors
of the day. The disappointment of
searchers after the last developments
was palpably visible on the imme
diate change of countenance from
a buoyant expectation to disap
pointment took place After a mo
mentary perusal of the papers by
the anxious readers.
Moulton's statement , it is said ,
will be given to the press at 11
to-day , but this is doubtful unless
ma < ] p public by Moulton luuis lf. It
took' him exactly 05 jninutes to make
his < 1isclosure < * fjeforp UiE Fl
yesterday , after \vLi f '
- " " * - a
aon-cui"
" - " . .t. was entered into to keep
the proceedings secret for the pre
sent. Moulton is supposed to have
prepared.tv& statements , one cover-
lug Itt writing 300 pages of foohcap
and the other a shorter statement ,
containing the principal points of
his first letter. Beeoher's friends
claim the statement tended to exon
erate him.
The Herald says ; Moulton on
leaving Storrs1 housu loft a jubilancy
behind and had thfc appearance cf
bcinii sadder and wiser. Beecher
yesterday was closeted with three
attorneys , and it is understood he
is preparing a statement for imme
diate publication. No steps were
taken yesterday In Tilton's crim
con suit. Mrs. Tiiton is still out of
town. The Herald says Moulton
declined to reveal to the Committee
all facts in his possession , and it is
not probable that they will be made
public before any other than a court
of justice , even then it is doubtful.
He only submitted the documents
heretofore quoted from. He inti
mated that if any attack were
made upon him , involving the idea
of the blackmailing of Beecher on
his part or that of Tilton , he would
be constrained to publish his state
ment in lull as a measure of self-dc-
feuse. This statement was already
prepared , and held by Moulton for
precautionary purposes. Mean
while he has separated himself from
the principals involved in the con
troversy , and henceforth will take
care of himself without partizan-
ship. The Tribune infers from the
committee's pleased appearance
that Moulton's ' testimony was not
unfavorable to Beecher. The com
mittee meet again to-night
A special from Kingston , N. Y. ,
says that Miss Mary L. Hurlburt ,
daughter of Rev. Victor M. Hurl
burt , burst a. blood vessel in her
brajn while singing in the choir
Sunday morning , and expired soon
after. She Avas singing a duet ,
several notes of which are in q high
key. She sang them in a voice un

Christian Schefferdicker , proprie
tor of a water cure establishment on
Twenty-second street , was yesterday
held in $3,000 bail , by the coroner's
jury , for criminal negligence in the
case of a pat jt-qt , who died at his es
tablishment on the 1st inst. The
name of the victim was Mrs. Potter.
The testimony showed that the pro
prietor was a quack doctor , and he
hade \ diploma , and was
entirely ignorant as to what course
of treatment was neccesary ,
for the patient ; through the appli
cation of vet bandages the patient
had become thoroughly water-soak
ed. This treatment resulted in ul
cers and poison absorbed into the
system , and from thesg sorps death
ensued. At the time of her death
her condition was horrible , being
delirious in consequence of the ab
sorption of poisons from these gan
grenes. The jury recommended the
board of health to spp that such in
stitutes are not allowed , except un
der the supervision of properly ed
ucated men.
