yesterday for the murder of the Wife of the first named by starving her to death, made |

the following remarks on the nature of their crime :—‘‘After a long, patient, pain- ful and anxious inquiry you have been

found guilty of a crime so black and

‘hideous that | believe in all the rec ords of

crime it would be difficult to find its parallel, With barbarity almost incredible you plotted together to take by crucl tor- ture the life of a poor, innocent, helpless and outraged woman; and although you stand to-day convicted of having mur- dered her helpless child, | cannot help feeling satisfied within my own mind that you also contemplated and plotted and brought about its death, and terrible. as to my mind it is, that you should have en- tered into such a plot, even more increds ible was it to think how wicked and cruel was your conduct in witnessing, day by day and hour by hour, the gradual sink- ing to her grave, by slow torture, of the poor, unhappy creature whom you sent to her rest,’

A DREADFUL ACCIDENT,

A terrible balloon accident is reported trom Glade Springs, Va. H. Hainur, cf Ohio, was giving an exhibition at that place, and the balloon having been inflated by means of wood and kerosene oil, he jumped into his position, and like 9n arrow the great air-ship shot upward, carrying its human freight dangling at itsend, It had ascended some 300 feet, and while the actor was performing on a _ horizontal bar, hanging by his feet with his head dewn, waving a hankerchief to the nervous an- dience below, the patched and dilapidated canvas split from top to bottom witha report that was heard miles away. “No sooner hed the gas escape. than the bal- ioon collapsed and came shooting down as swiftly as ithad darted up. The sronaut saw his situation, and quick as lightning

turned himself up and regained his hand. hold, and commenced a manceuvre to dodge a telegraph wire and post towards which he was falling. This he succeeded in doing, striking the ground with ter» rible force, which bounced him up, to be caught and pressed down by the balloon. All of this was the work ofa moment. Uhe crowd was literaily paralysed, women

sickening and fainting, and men unable, |.

in their horror, to move. The compan ions of the unfortunate man stood riveted to the ground, and not until some citizens undertook to move the canvas did they stir. The man was found to be alive and conscious, but dreadfully bruised and mangled, Ile was through it all calm and cool, and described his feeliegs as, des- cending, he saw and felt death staring him in the face. He was taken to the hotel, where both Mr. and Mrs. Thompson did ill in their power to relieve his sufferings. With all the aid nothing could be accom- plished, and at half-past eleven o'clock, p. m,, he paid the penalty of death for his recklessness.

WAR REWS.

ScuirKa, Oct. 1. Suleiman Pasha is fortifying his camp and apparently intends to winter here.

Suumia, Oct. 1,

The Russian outpost bas advanced from Cerkovona to Pokoi, and has there begun a skirmish with the Turks.

The report that the allied armies were again repulsed in an assault upon Plevna is unfounded,

The Porte has at last succeeded in over- coming the opposition of the military au- thorities, and Geshofts have been brought to Constantinople, It is hoped their lives are now safe.

Soria, Sept: 30.

There is trustworthy information that Osman Pasha repulsed a Russo-Roumanian attack on his front and left, inflicting heavy losses: also that he attacked the tussians on the Lovatz road and recovered several positions,

Lonpon, Oct. 1.

General Klapka denies forming a Bul garian legion to assist the Turks by de- stroying Roumanian railways.

Par's, Oct. 21.

The Russian Telegraph Agency prints a Bucharest despatch, which declares media= tion impossible. The solutions of the questions between Russia and Turkey must be sought for on the battlefield before diplomacy may intervene. A later de- spatch says-Gen, Todleben succeeds Gen. Zokoff as chief of staff tothe Prince of Roumania, before Plevna.

Vienna, Oct, 1.

The Lolitical Correspondenz’s Belgrade despatch says: ‘It 18 positively denied in official circles that Servia has finslly res solved upon warlike actions. It is thought possible, however, that the final resolution of the Servian Government will mainly depend upon the communicatians of the newly appointei Russian agent, just arrived ,”’

It is said that this question has been decided in the Cabinet Councils. Troops have again been ordered to the frontier, and officers and surgeons ordered to join their regiments within three days.

Lonpon, Oct. 2,

The Standard’s Bucharest despatch says the Czarewitch visited Gorny Studin to at- tend a Council of war, to decide whether the bulk of the Russian army should win- ter in Bulgaria or Roumania.

The 7imes’ St. Petersburg despatch says it is reported that petitions are being signed requesting the Roumanian army to return home:

Uninvited offers of mediation would be regarded almost as a national insult.

It was.not the painter Veestzechagin but his brother who we. killed at Plevna.

The Times special fromi Belgrade says that since the arrival of the new Russian Consul General and the Roumanian Envoy extraordinary, Servian intervention is re- garded quite certain.
