SALT LAKE , Aug. 9.
Four city policemen have been
held to bail by the United States
Commissioner until the next sitting
of the District Court , on the charge
of assault on election day.
Austin Shipp was arrested at
Beaver Lake to-day , and was held
to bail to appear before the U S
Commissioner on the 21st , on the
charge of polygamy.
Sioux CITY , August 19.
The report conies from Fort Sully
this morning , that the Indians to
the number of four thousand , made
an attack upon Custar's expedition
on the 15th , and were repulsed with
heavy loss. Custar's loss is reported
at fifty killed and wounded. This
report was brought into Fort Sully
by a mail rider , who states that he
met one of Custar's scouts above
Wrand River and got the news from
him.
.JERSEY CITY , August 19.
Great excitement prevails over
the death-bed statement of Miss
Pomeroy , accusing the Rev. Mr.
Glendenning as being the father of
her child. In her statement she
says that after having promised her
to makft it all right , meaning as she
supposed to marry her , Mr. Glen-
denning exacted from her one day
a written statement , but what it
contained sbe hardly knows , for he
had compelled her to write it by the
use of a revolver , and she was near
ly unconscious through fear. It is
supposed this statement will be his
principal defence.
WASHINGTON , August 18.
An article in a .Mew York paper
to the effect that the Spanish gov
ernment , in return for securing the
recognition of the Spanish Repub
lic , has agreed to cede the Island
of Porto Rico to Germany. It has
occasioned universal comment , but
cannot be oliicially verified or re
ported. All that can now be said
with certainty is that the executive
department is not inattentive to
this matter , and Caleb Gushing at
Madrid , and Dr. Davis , at Berlin ,
have the subject on their memor
andum of Instructions , and will not
fail at the proper time to report
their government's opposition to
this administration ; as heretofore
privately and ofllcially expressed.
ST. Louis , August 19.
The deputy sheriff of Colliers
county , Texas , writes to. the - Evening
ning Dispatch , stating that he killed
a notorious character , named James
H. Head , in Lamar county , Texas ,
on the Cth of August. Before dying ,
Ecu'1 stated that he was the leader
of the band that " -ommitted the
Iowa and Gad's Hill , Mo. , train
robberies , and the St. GeneiveMo. ,
bank robbery. He also asserted he
robbed the Hot gprings , Arkansas ,
and Austin , Texas , stages , and had
committed several sjnjijar' rbbberjes
In Arizona , K"evadfi and Oregon.
He would not give the names of
any of his associates , but declared
positively that neither Arthur tile-
Coy nor the Younger or James
brothers had anything to do with
the robberies.
BUFFALO , August 19.
The Buffalo Express of 'this fore
noon publishes an interview with
eighteen Buffalo clergymen regard
ing the Beeoher-TiUon guandal.
Among them are the opinions from
Rev. Dr. Peacock , of Lafayette
street Presbyterian Church ; Rev.
Dr. Shelton , of St. Paul Episcopal.
Bishop Cox" was absent from the
city. Nearly three-quarters of the
nurnber of gentlemen interviewed
accepted Bsechprs statement as dis
proving Til tori's ' sworn dopurnentj
the remainder believe iBeechefib'De
more indiscreet than anything else" .
Rev. Joa. M , FfljOJ , of St. Louis
Church , Roman Catnolfo , declined
to explicitly state his opinion as to
guilt or Innocence. The Catholics
said he was more indifferent than
otherwise. The scandal was kept
out of their papers because it is not
Sofltahlc reading for the young ,
e said'Beectier J3oul | not pe driven
from the Plymouth pulpit because
his congregation liked him too well ,
NEW YORK , Aug. 10.
Frank Moulton arrived home

QUEBEC , Aug. 18.
Accounts fiom neighboring par
ishes represent the storm of Friday
last the most severe experienced for
many years , and the damage great
atVolcartus. The crops in many
places were entirely destroyed , Po
tatoes were washed out of the ground
and grain was cut as if by a mower
water covered the ground to the
depth of eight inches. A large
number of families have been ren
dered destitute.
AUGUSTA , Ga. , Aug. 19.
All quiet at Big Springs , but a
fight is anticipated. Both whites

There is an unequally feeling of

go the rescue of the white people in
South Carolina. Arms and ammu
nition are being shipped from this
city.

It is learned to-day that Tilton's
suit against Beecher will lay dam ,
ages at about $50,000. The case is a
civil suit and the papers will be
served on Beecher this evening at
Peekskill. This will be followc 1 by
statements , affidavits and actions
for libel on the part of Tilton and
Moulton against Beecher. The plot
is decidedly thickening , and Beech
er , if arrested , will be compelled to
give bail.
5 SALT LAKE , Aug. 19.
The matter of Mormon autiiorities

ance of their duties last election day

WASHINGTON , August 1 ! ) .
Late ofilpjal dispatches from the
Asjatic wjuaJlrpn , dated Jn July , re
port that the Japanese still maintain
their occupation of a portion of the
Island of Asia , notwithstanding that
they had been ordered by the au
thorities to retire from Chinese soil.
It was thought that should Japan
fsil to withdraw her forces within a
reasonable time , China would take
mpasure.s to compel hey to do so. Jt
is the'impressjon by ttanywejl in
formed persons that should hostili
ties qommonco they would surely
extend bpyom } Asia , where It Is ap
prehensive that a general \ \ ar might
ensue.

BROOKLYN , August 19.
The Brooklyn Argus says that
General Roger A. Pryor has been
retained as counsel for Tilton with
Messrs. Morris and Pearsall. Til-
ton's new statement will be very
lenthy and it is thought he will not
be accessible to interviewers until
next week.
Mrs. Tilton is with friends in New
Jersey : She will not be publicly
heard from again on the subject of
the scandal.
A reporter of the Brooklyn Eagle
interviewed Tilton yesterday after
noon on the subject of the black
mailing charge. He denied ever
having blackmailed any one , and
had never received a cent through
Moulton or any other person , either
directly or indirectly , from Beech
er ; nor did he think that any of
Beecher's money found its way into
his possession through any source.
In answer to the question wheth
er he had ever been offered any
money by any person since the pro
ceedings commenced , he said : Yes ,
he had been offered ten thousand
dollars by "William C Kingsley. He
supposed that Kingbley thought he
needed the money , and offered it in
a friendly way. Mr. Kingsley is in
the country , but an Eagle reporter
learned from Mr. Bear , thebusiress
representative of the Kingley.'s firm
that Kingsley , who is an intimate
friend of Tilton's , offered to contri
bute five thousand to help Tilton ,
and bring all the disgraceful busi
ness to an end , it being apparent at
the time of this offur , that the scan
dal was certain to involve Beecher's
assailants in a common ruin. This
occurred about ten days ago.
The Eagle says , on reliable au
thority , that Tilton has not been re
quested to sign any complaint as
yet. and there is no probability of
Beecher being served with legal pa
pers of any kind from Tilton for
several weeks , if ever.
The Brooklyn Union says Tilton's
counsel had prepared all the papers
in the suit against Beecher for crim
inal conduct. He refuses to show
the papers in this suit , and also re
fuses to state what action will be
taken in the suit to be instituted by
Tilton against Beecher for libel , in
charging him with blackmail.
it Js stated positively that Tilton
intends to push this sujt tp thp bitter
'
end , and force Beecher fp p'stablish
his accusation that Tilton received
$7,000 of his money , or pay heavy
damages fqr jnakmg the charge.
It is understood that 9 sufnmqns
and complaint in cn'ni. con. suit
wH } bo served on Beecher jby to
morrow at the Ifite&t nt his farm at
Peekskill , before he leaves for the
White Mountains. Frank Moulton
is expected at five o'clock tomorrow
row morning on the Boston boat.
District Attorney Winslow is not
expected in town before the last of
this week. It is said it will be ut
terly impossible for him to prepare
a report to be S"l > j Ut2 , ' ! to ft * In
vestigating ( ! omriilUo6 Tjofbrd * ndxt
Week. The evidence , which occu
pies eight hundred pages of foolscap ,
Is not yet put in order , and A\hen
the report is prppared it'will be nec-
pssjiry to cal ] a meeting o.f the in
vestigating committee to ( IJspuss it ,
and it maybe two weeks before the
formal reports and evidence taken
are submitted to the. examining
committee of Plymouth Church.

for by at least 10,000 majority , and
tha { the constitution is probably de
feated. TJie democrats generally
voted for license in Cincinnati ; few
women appeared at the polls here
and at Columbus , but there was no
general crusade deinonstatlon.
Strong temperance counties fearing
that Cincinnati and southern Ohio
would carry both the constitution
and license , voted against both ,
Harrison county gives 2,500 , piajor-
itp against license , and 2.800
' ' ' '
Against'c'6'nstit'ution. Qn toe other
hand , Democratic and Republican
counties nnd townshlpa everywhere
report majorities the other way.
Wayne county rives 8,000 majority
against the constitution , and a still
heavier majority for license. Scat
tering returns from other Democrat
ic counties show the
same proper !
tion. The Ude was tq htyvp b n
ghpvked ; "By ttie Western reserve'bill
it is safe to claim that the State goes
ngainst the constitution by from 10-
300 to 20,000 majority , and In fever
if license by a majority of at least
loublo that size. Carroll county
jives 2,500 against both the consti
tution and license.

.LONDON. August 19.
The Mark Lane Express , in its
weeklj' review of the breadstuffe
market , has the following :
"Bid weather has prevailed
throughout the past weeV , but our
farmers have kept a sharp lookout
and have secured their crops. There
are no reports of sprouting , though
much wheat was stacked in a poor
condition , in consequence of high
winds and low temperature. The
same weather has prevailed on the
Continent. This will bring good
prices to the front and Increase the
value of old stock. There is little
difference in prices since last week ,
although the tendency is down
ward. France is sending back her
cargoes shipped hence. Crops here
and in France are mostly secured ,
and the dependence of both coun
tries on each other is materially les
sened. Estimates put our crops at
seven per cent , below the average. "
HABRISBURG , Pa. , August 19.
This city is filled with prominent
Republican politicians from all parts
of the State , actively working for
their various candidates. Tbe istate
Convention meets at the Opera
House at noon. Senator Rulau will
be permanent president.
The Philadelphia delegation , un
der the leadership of Col. W. B.
B. Mann and Gen. B. Bingham , are
laboring for Judge Plaxton , as the
nominee. The supreme court inter
ests are divided between Plaxton
and Judge Butler. The indication
ail favor the probability of the nom
ination of ex-speaker Olmstead of
Potter , for lieutentant governor ,
Gen Allen , the present Incumbent ,
for auditor , and General Beath , the
present surveyor general , for secre
tary of internal affairs. It is re
ported that the platform wilL take
grounds against the presidential
third term , and put Hartcranft on
the track for President.
This morning Mr. Strong , a Paxton -
ton manwis phossn chairman pf { he
caucus , but on a standing vote on
order of nominations , the Butler
men held a majority. After a very

and nays wpre ca.jed. | The Paxtons
wantpd a Supreme Judge voted for
first , and the Butler men wanted a
Lieutenant Governor nominated
first. On a call of yeas and naj's the
clerk announced 109 to 107 in favor
of the Paxtons , but the vote was
disputed by Mayor Pyv. . 333" &
stonr.y sppne ensued , Powell asse'rl- :
ing'tjiatlielmd kept tally , showing
112 to 101 for the Butler party. The
chair finally sustained the clerk's
count , but Powell appealed , and in
the cqnfusoi | } tle ) caucus adjourned ,
lea\-jug the order of nominations to
be spttled by the convention.
The Philadelphia delegation de
veloped a serious split , a large num
ber voting on Butler's side of the
question.

pressed Paxton stock considerably
and elevated Butierproportionately.
