Veba Cuius, Si ptembcr 6. It will bo remem
bered that tue French steamer bonora was char
tered, by order of Maximilian, at the rata of
$500 per day lor every rtnv eraplovud, to carry b
bearer ot despatches (tlieiameto be telegraphed
from New Orleans) to Carlotta) to the quanta
tae station on the Mississippi river. JJetor
the konora started there "quite a time of K"
between the Io. penal nirentg and the conniirneos
of the stenmcr. The latter did not permit the
vessel to leave until $4000 was paid clown in ad
vance, and good security (riven for the payment
of at least as much more. The Sonora went on
her rms6ion. On the 4th Inst, ehe iettirncvl and
was put into quarantine.
-The captain of the steamer protected against
this act. ellepinr that hp had no ono sick on
boaid, and that as the vessel did not go up the
MiFsh-aioi l further thun the quarantine station,
it therefore was tree from anything like cholera
poison. But the Imperial Mexican healtn offi
cer refused to listen to thjcaptalu's protest
and remonstrance, and told him, "You must
, stav thero," and the Imperial Mexican Captain
of "the Port refused to interfere; and thus the
affair Flood tor the moment. Tbe captain ot
the steamer finding that It wa-s a flsed lact that
he must go into quarantine remsed to let any
thine '(Includiwe the Emperor's despatches)
leave tbe vessel, or to crive news of any kiud.
People say that soon after the arrival of the
Tappahannocx a telegraphic despatch was seat
to Maximilian in thepe words:" Codo ea inutil."
(AH U useless.) By whom it was signed is
still a matter kept secret. One rumor is to the
eifect that Jt was signed by Carlotta, and
another that it came from an agent in Franco.
All kinds of exciting rumors were spread
about upon the arrival of tha steamer, what"
ever news she did bnn certainly had a depress
ing effect upon the Imperialists. The French
officers saia thai todo es inutU represented the
situation at this time perfectly.
In consequence of (he late unfavorable (for
the Imperialists) news received, there are many
wild rumors afloat. One is that Maximilian is
actually a prisoner in the city of Mexico; tnat
he has been watched by Bazalne and by the
samejprevented from too suddenly leaving the
country. It is still said that Maximilian asked
Bazaine to place a strong force of guards on the
roads Horn tbe capital to Vera Cruz, and ttiat
Bazaine's answer led the Emperor plainly to sen
that he could not leave until the Marshal saw tit
to let him do so.
There i9 no doubt of the fact that tbe breach
between the French and the Imperial Mexicans
(Maximilian's patty) is a wide one, and that
they are and have been for a long time past at
loggerheads: but as they are both in dUliculty
here they r.cc as seeming to be friends, and
nothing more.
There is nothing just at this moment to show
that the French are not going away. Opera
tions have been commenced in earnest to oue.n
the Jalapa route. Tbe garrison at Jalapa has
been strougly reinforced.
Citizens living near l he city of Vera Cruz are
removing inside of the w3ils for protection.
The work ot constructing new lortincations still
progresses.
The Criterio says that the more the Liberal
small bauds are thrashed, the bolder they get
and the more damage they do.
The Indians of Yucatan are now giving the
Imperialists great trouble.
Some victories in the neiehborhood of Tallica
and in Michoacan are reported for the Imperial
ists, but they are not continued. Mence wa
omit the so-called details. We have been so
many times deceived by similar reports that
now we Lave to take "a long consideration" to
give them ciedit.

horse power and steam power on their lines.
Letters received hero trom Paris state that
recently papers have been seized in that city
that compromise certain Mexicans residing
there in ihe most serious way. They are Mexi
cans who pretend to be friends of the Empire,
but kept up intimate correspondence with
Bomero and Santa Anna. They were accustomed
to Irequent the Mexican Legation, and one of
them was on the most intimate terms with
General Almonte. The French Government
handed over the papers seized to the Mexican
MiniPter. JV. Y. herald.
AMUSEMENTS.
"The Doctob or Alcantaba.." Ono of the most
charming operas vouchsated us for years is that of
tchuerg's boctur of Acunlara, produced lor tbe drat
time tn this city at the Academy of Muslo, last evening.
It is not only a splendid opera, musically considered,
but it has also the merit of having one of the most
sparkling and amuslDg librettos we have ever seen
s edded to music This portion ot the work is Iroin our
talented townsman, Mr. B. K. Woolf who may con
scientiously be congratulated lor his biphiy successful
effort.
The serenade for the tenor, with which the opera
opens, and the subsequent trio for the two sopranos and
contralto are truiv admirable, anduurnlsha toreiaste to
the audlenco of what is uniblded to tuoin as the Opera
progresses. The splendid solo lor the contralto, in tbe
same act, and the superbly brilliant aria for tbe soprano,
the former sang last evening by MUu Xolda liarriaon,
and tbe latter by Miss Hlobines, are among tne best of
the solos, bat tbe tenor has also some del icious rnorceaux.
The quartette, tbe quintette, aud the chorus In tho
first act are admirable specimens of tine, effective
writing, and their renuition lust evening was truly ex
celleot. The last act is mainly taken up with concerted
niuslc and the acting necessary to develop the ab
aardly amusing plot, although ene or two very flue
solos one ot them a capital effort for the bass are
prominent In li.
'1 he music of the opera la all good, much of It uncom
monly tine, and parti oi It wortbv even ot the lame of
a Kosaiui- It contains some ol the rlohest and most
taking melodies we have ever listened to. while the
genius displayed m the concerted pieces shows the com
poser possessed of the very htmieut order of genius tor a
mnolcai composition
The concluding chorus Is very good, and, In short, the
wUuie opera, lioin beginning to end, is ml of merit,
and tne Interest ol the listeners is kept up unnaggmgly
Iroin toe rise oi the our' am to its fall.
Ii is emphatically the most successful and pleasing
opera we have bad yet presented at the Academy, and it
Is destined, we think, to a wide spread popularity. iw
performance last evening was one ot the best of its kind
w a have ever witnessed at tbe Academy.
Jir Beffu Id's "Uoctor" was the veiy acme of fine

We have never seen Miss Uichings to b'tter advan

the hluhei-t praise. Her splendid contralto voice suited
hAi rale exactly, and beretfort was hurhi v irracetul and

THE FIEND AGAIN AT WORK.
An Oltl lull iy is JJutclicrctl
in Cola IJlootl.
THE MOTIVE A MYSTERY.
Will Vengeance Overtake
the Guilty OnoP
The spirit of the Foul Fiend seems to have
taken up its abode in our midst. Since Probst
slaughtered a whole family, under circum
stances of the utmost atrocity, he has had half
a bcore of emulators in and around this city,
and every now and then we are called upon to
record a'tresh tragedy to be added to the fear
ful list.
Ihe last occurred but yesterday, and is
remarkable for bein? perperruted in the very
heart of the city, and in the broad light ot day.
The victim was Mr. Eliza M. Miller, a ladv
sixty-three years of ape, who, with her husband
and sitsier-m-laiF, resided iu a I wo-story dwell
ing house at No. 921 Butlonwood street. Here
the family have lived tor more than a quarter of
a century in peace ami happines.
The husband, Mr. Milo Miller, is a millwright
bv trade, and is employed by Mr. E. It. Clift, at
No. 40i North Twelfth street, Hia sister, Ilettie
Owens, works at band-box making, at Second
aud Pine streets. Mrs. Miller attended wholly
to the household duties, and is represented as
bavins been an unobtrusive person, At pence
w ith all the world. As she had been accustomed
tor many years past to remain alone in the
house from niomiup: to evening, she had no
thought ot the teartul tragedy w hich was des
tined to mark the close of uer lite, when her
husband and sister-iu-law betook themselves to
their accustomed tasks at an early hour in the
motnintr.
Tl ey bolh started out for the day before T
o'clock, and nothing occurred to disturb the
nenrent neighbors until about halt-past 7. At
that time the scieams of a woman were beard
by several families residing m Williams' court,
directly in the rear of Mr. Miller's House. A
few minutes before the screams were heard, a
person residing in this court saw Mrs. Miller in
the jard, engaged in her household labors. No
attention wa paid to tho tcreams by any one
save Mrs. Fncke, who lives In the bjue at the
end of the court, and nearest the residence of
the Millers, bhe sent her daughter to the roof
to discover the meaning of it, but Ihe child ou
her return reported seeing nothing.
After this,, matters went on quietly until about
hHt(-pat 3 o'clock in the atternoon. At that
hour, Miss Sailie Wood, who lives In th nouse
adjacent to the one occupied by Mrs. Miller, ran
in to see the latter. She went tip the alley way
between the two dwellings, passed into the
yard, and thence into the dining-room, the
door of w hich, as well as the two yard eates,
one openisp into the alley, and the other into
Williams' court, were standing open.
When Miss Wood entered the dining-room she
was horror-stricKen by tho scene which she
encountered. On the floor, nearly in the cen
tre of the room, lay the body ot Mis. Miller,
with iace upturned. Her arms were stretched
outward iroin her body. Near her riirht hand
lay an open razor and a small iron poker. The
noor was covered witn Diooa, w liicii bad pro
ceeded Horn a gash in the throat of Mrs. Miller
rescuing lrom ear to ear.
Miss Wood alarmed the neighbors at once.
and some of them entered the house. The news
spread rapidly, and the house was soon bescige I
by a large and excited crowd. But Lieutenant
vv iine soon arnveit, at tne nead or a posse ot
police, and took possession of the premises.
t rom me general appearance of things in the
houBe, and the relative position of the body and
open razor, tbe case at first sight was one of
suicide. Not a thing in the room, or elsewhere
in the house, had been disturbed. Mr. Miller
keeps his earnings in the house, and a consider
able sura ot money was at tnat very time in a
di awer on the second floor.
Against the wall, and within two feet of the
spot where the bod v was discovered, stood a
small work-stand. The drawer of this stand
was open, and it is evident tbat the razor wa?
taken from it, although the other contents were
all in their proper place.
Tne trout door and trout abutters were closed
and fastened. Tbe back shutters were open, as
well as the back Jdoor and tbe gate leading into
the yard, as we have already said. Not a soul
had been noticed by the neighbors to enter or
leave the house or yard, from the time tuat Mrs.
Miller bad been seen at her work to the dis
covery of ber mangled corpse by Miss Wood.
iveryining tnus pointed clearly to suicide.
But an examination revealed the startling
fact that all this orderly arrangement was but a
oevice or a guiuy wretcu, whereoy he hoped to
throw the officers of the law off the track by
shilling suspicion from himself to his unfortu
nate victim.
When the oan was removed from the head of
Airs. Miller three tearful wounds were disco
vered, one of them upon thealorehead and the
others upon the back of tbe head. These
wounds were evidently inflicted by some heavy
instrument, but whether it was the poker lying
uj- uer biuo or u cast-irou stove a am per wnicn
was found upon a table near bv. and snotted as
if with blood, cunnot yet be ascertained.
un me taDie on which was found tbe stove
damper there was a colored hood belonging to
the deceased. It was marked with blood, as
were also the table and the wall near by.
But this bloodv work was not the whole that
the murderer had resorted to, before he had de
prived his victim of her lite. On her neck and
bosom were marks of discoloration. iHaiulv

The struggle had probably been a fearful one.

caused by striking against something like the
wall or a tame.
Cnrnner Tavlnr viewed th hailw nWmr ft
o'clock, whenbr. Shaplt lgh conducted the post
mortem examination. The regular inquest will
not take place before to-morrow afternoon.
At 8 o'clock: the body was placed in a cotiii
and removed to the adjoining room, where it
remained during the night, guarded by the
police and several ueigiiDors.
Chiels Franklin and Buggies, with tholr assist
anu, went to work at the caso early tn the
evening, and win not give ii up until the perpe
trator of this foul deed is broueht to justice.
It would be imprudent at this writing to dl
vulge tbe result of Ibelr nlghfg labor, as it
might lead to the ultimate e'eape of the as
sassin. The public can rest assured that no
eflort to discover his whereabouts will be left
untried, and that with the clue of whlcn the
authorities are at present possessed his early
capture la probable.

Court of Quarter Sessions Judge Ludlow.
The trial of . F. bcott, bepun yesterday after
noon, was resumed this morning. Tae aofendant
was charged with having obtained money to the
amount of 9976 from David F. Gordon. By the
Commonwealth tbo lolloping allegations were made
and argued: That on the 15th of May, 1865, the de
fendant came to air. uoruuu, uuu osea mm to
advance 1000. . .
be presented a note endorsed by E. F. Scott &
Co., cattle dealers of Chester county, John lutner,
St., and George McQuery, Sr , the two latter being
weahhv and responsible larmers ot Chester countv.
Farticular attention was paia o.y air. ooraou to
these two endorsers, Tamer and McQuery. He asked
Mr. Scott it be was sure that these were the old
farmers, and not their sons bearing the same name
as their lathers, and entirely irresponsible. Mr
Scott assured him that there were no mistakes ; tbat
the endorsers were tbe old gentlemen, tneir fathers.
Upon tbeie representations ituiu were aavangoa oy
Mr. Gordon; but wben the note matured, it was
discovered that they were not the men Mr. 8cott
represented them to be, but their sons, who had no
means whatever.
The de ense deny any false representations what
ever, and allege that Mr. Scott said from tbe first
tbat the endorsers were not the gentleman referred
to. but their sons. That soon after this monejr was
OUiainCU lllc urm Wl MX. tjuwi n. -j. lanou, luftl
Mr. Kcott was Drevented from paying the money by
tbe failure ot tbe firm and by protracted illness.
1 bat Mr. Scott made tbe transaction with an honor
able, npngbt intention, and that he put the mouey
to an honest use. Kxoellunt character was also
shown.
After a very exoellent.Jable ohorjfe by his Honor
Judge Ludlow, the Jury went out.

B oomingaale, and the husband, atter bidding bis
wiie au aifectiouate farewell, departed for tho dying
bed ot his brotaer. On bis arrival at tho residence
ot bit brother b found him so low that all effort
of tbe doctors were futile. After linvenug tor

About this time Mr. Stewart be van to notloe tbat
