A DESPERATE ENCOUNTER.
The Murder of a United States Marshal In
Utah The Pursuit and Death of the Mur
derer. Fall particulars of the killing of United States
Marshal Story, at Grantsvllle, Utah, on the second
of May and the subsequent chase of his murderer,
read like a chapter In Home wild novel of the Mayne
Keld school. Albert H. Haws, the desperado, was
wanted for killing a former comrade named Dunn,
in August last, and a warrant for his arrest was
issued by Chief Justice Wilson and given to Story
and a Nevada Sheriff named Carrlgan, at Salt Lake
City. On Monday the oillcers surprised Haws un
armed at the corral near his house, and drawing
their pistols demanded his surrender.
He pretended to comply, but while
Story was handcuftllug him sprang
npon Carrlgan and seized his revolver. Story flew
at Haws, drew his pistol, got It to Haws' side, but
the latter bent his back, aud the ball passed by
without touching him. Haws, In an instant grap
pled with Story, turned his pistol upon his left
shoulder and ilred. Story fell and Haws shot him
again, tmlshlng him, then fired twice at Carrlgan,
who ned for help. Haws saddled his horse, took his
own and the oillcers' revolvers, borrowed a gun of
a neighbor "to shoot rabbits," and gt half a mile
start of Carrlgan, who obtained a large posse of
Mormons to aiu him. They got on a wrong trail the
Jirst day, but on the third, learning his whereabouts,
chased him for some miles towards the mountains.
Coming to a precipice he dismounted and rolled
lilmself to the bottom, then gained the canon before
Jus pursuers came up. When they arrived he began
Bhooting and wounded one or two. The posse re
plied aud finally silenced his lire, when he was
found to be dead, with fourteen balls In him.
He had a gun and four revolvers on his person,
two or the latter being attached to his belt, dangling
in front of him. They were capped and cocked,
and to the trigger of each there was attached a
small loose string that was fastened to the sides of
his belt. When those who shot him got to his body,
one young man stooped down to take off one of the
pistols, and the moment he pulled it oil It went and
the ball went through his hand and wrist. Another
man standing by received the same ball in his side,
and Is not likely to recover. The results of the
tight sum up: One desperado, one officer, and two
Mormons killed, and two others wounded. There
is great excitement orftr the affair In Utah, as Haws
had borne a bad reputation, having, as Is supposed,
murdered his wife to marry another man's, with
whom he was living up to his death.

matter is that on the night of Tuesday ia last week
the Library ui CL-isl Church was entered and .ev.
eral busts.togethcr with a marble statue of Venus, of
great value, carried out ny certain undergraduates,
jn the course of the night a pile was made of fagots
and mats, the sculptures were put upon It, the whole
set on lire, and the works of art totally destroyed.
There has been as yet no oillclal statement concern
ing the outrnze and its perpetrators, but of course
the facts are tolerably well known in undergraduate
circles. The report is that, two distinct sets of men
were engaged in the business. The one took the
statues out of the library and stuck them up about
I'cckwater (one of the principal quadrangles) as a
joke. The other set found them In Peekwater, took
them down, made the bonfire, ami destroyed them.

fiction, even on a subject wh'oh has so much exer
cised the invention of novelties as university life.
Certainly no writer would ever venture to describe
the "fast man" of a college as wilfully destroying
the choicest works of art which It possesses. Even
the imaginative author of Formoxa might shrink
from such a stretch of the license of llction. as
conveying something too monstrous to be accepted
by a gallery oi cockneys, -i ne tning, nowever, is
only too trite : it is the scandal of the hour, and the

Evening Telegraph Omens,)
Saturday, Jane 4, 1870.
There is a "bullish'' tendency in Third street
to-day,which is enconraged by the growing ease
in money. Money is very abundant, and far in
excess of current wants. The bulk of the busi
ness this morning has been in call loans or on
short time, and we have heard of no transactions
above 4 per cent, with good collaterals. The
business demand for loans corresponds with the
general apathy in trade, and good grades of pa
per pass readily everywhere at 0 per cent, but
more perhaps is taken at 5 than G, and few good
borrowers are willing to go beyond that figure.
moid is dun ana very steady, with all the sales
ud to noon at 114M and 1141. ODcninr and
closing at 114.
Government bonds are quiet and rather un
steady, with the sales at a slight decline on
closing quotations yesterday.
At the chock Hoard to-day there was great
activity and no little excitement. In State
loans there were sales of sixes, third series, at
105; and of City sixes, new bonds, at 100.
Heading JKaiiroaa was quiet, witli the sales
at 54-44(fr5i4; Camden and Amboy 6old at W0;
North Pennsylvania at 42, b. o. ; Lehigh Valley
at 50; Catawisea preferred at 30; and Phila

the most active stock on the list, and sold

TQE N. Y. MONEY MARKET YESTERDAY.
From tU N. T, Herald.
"The money market presents the stereotyped fea
tures of the past few weeks viz : ease and abund
ance. On call the average and general rate is four
per cent, without regard to collaterals ; but, in some
Instances, borrowers submitting Government securi
ties obtain accommodations at three per cent. On
the other band, where the collaterals are less choice
and the borrower Is not in prime standing, he has to
pay five per cent. Commercial paper is quiet.
Really choice grades sell as low as Ave and a half
per cent, discount, but the general rate la six per
cent, for the usual class of prime paper.
"The foreign exchange market was barely steady
and inactive. Towards the close some of the deal
ers reported it weak, but without change in rates,
which ranged from 109 to 110 for the several
grades of bankers' Bterltog and 110(ailo4 for
sight. The advance in live-twenties in London to
86, with gold at 1144(a,ll4 to-day enabled ship
ment! of bonds, and nearly a million was sold abroad
on American account, the exchange made against
which was one cause of the weakness in exchange
above referred to.
"The gold market was steady between the limits
of U and 114?.', the latter point being attained by
the circulation of an idle rumor that the Secret u-y
of the Treasury intended discontinuing the balance
of his programme of gold sales for June for the
reason that, as the July Interest will begin to come
on the market abeut the 20th lust, there is no ne
cessity for his further selling. The authors of the
report doubtless were forgetful of the fact that the
Government sales of gold are made not to assist
the 'liars' in the Gold Room, nor to oppose
the 'bulls,' but simply to carr out the law
requiring the gradual reduction of the national debt
through the operation of the sinking fund, as well a
to aiurment the special fund, which is a reserve,
subject to the action of Congress, but certain to be
employed in a speedier reduction of the debt than
originally contemplated by the law oi the sinking
fund. The rise was stimulated by the bulls,' who
are tired of the long inactivity of the market aud are
anxious to get out of their gold. The loan market
shows that what short interest existed in the
market has been largely closed out, and the
'bulls' are now alone lu their operations, the price
being too low to sell, while with the inactivity in ex
change, the comparatively light export of specie
and the prospect of an inundation of gold from the
Treasury m a few weeks, there Is no tuuputum
to buy. The 'bull' campaign in gold for the summer
of 1810 has so far been a miserable failure. The
market at the close was weak on the shipment of
live-twenties to Europe.
"The Government list was steady and strong on
light transactions. The market Is without special
feature, but more buoyant on the expectation that
the new Funding bill will not operate against it, as
at first conjectured."

Special Despatch to The Evening TeUgraph.
Washington, June 4. Minister Thornton
has received and forwarded to the Secretary of
State copies of communications submitted on
the 23d of April last by Captain Eyre, of the
Bombay, which ran down the United States
steamer Oneida last winter, and by the Board of
Directors of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam
ship Company of London, to the Board of
Trade, for them to forward to the Lords, etc.,
praying that the slight punishment ordered by
the court of inquiry in the caso of Captain
Eyre be removed, and the board's reply thereto.
The Board of Directors of the steamship com
pany state that they have had the report of the
proceedings in the inquiry under their serious
consideration, and they cannot but feel that the
decision arrived at by the court on the conduct
of Captain Eyro after the collision was not
warranted by the evidence laid before it. It
appears to the board that Captain Eyre, both
before and after the collision, did all that a pru
dent and experienced seaman could do, and
under these circumstances the board request that
the Lords of the committee review the evidence
taken at the court of inquiry, and give conside
ration to any statement which Captain Eyre
may make, and express the hope that they will
see lit to return to him his certificate. The
board submit a letter lrom Captain Eyre, aud
in that connection state that he has been in their
employ eleven years, three years of which
as a commander, and has always borne the
highest character. They state that they are
quite unable to express In adequate terms their
deep sorrow that an accident in which one of
their company's steamers was concerned should
have been attended by a lamentable loss of life.
The most profound sympathy is felt by them
for all the citizens of the United States who
have unhappily lost relatives or friends by the
foundering of the Oneida, but they cannot help
entertaining a confident hope that a careful re
vision of the circumstances of the case will re
sult in the removal of the unfavorable impres
sion which now exists there and here as to
the conduct of Captain Eyre after the collision.
In Captain Eyre s memorial to the board he
states that lie would have rendered assistance to
the Oneida if he had thought she needed it, as he
had seven boats, capable of car ruing from one
hundred and ninety to two hundred irien, aud
even if his own vessel had been seriously in
jured he could have spared several of them.
In the reply of the Board of Trade the latter
state that they are of the opinion, after care
fully revising the record of the court, that he
was guilty of a gross breach of the 33d section
of the Merchant Shipping act, which clearly
states that all assistance posslblo In case of col
lision must be rendered; and further of opinion
that the sentence ot the court In suspending his
certificate for six months only, so far from being
too severe, is more lenient man tne gravity ot
the offense required, as well as the enact
ment to which they referred, that simply
embodies the dictates of humanity, and that in
disobevine It he has Deen guilty not only or an
offense created by statute, but of a disregard ot
the natural duties which circumstances of
danger such as that of the Oneida imposes npon
those who have been the unwilling cause of the
danger; and they are especially anxious to ex
press emphatically their sense of the importance
of those duties at a time when the increase of
rapid steam navigation augments the danger of
collisions, and renders the performance of those
duties more imperative.
luiporinnt to Naval Paymasters.
Secretary Rsbeson has bsued an order which

effect from and after the commencement of the

Mr. Williama cnlled np the joint resolution authorizing
the Secretary of t he Interior to increase the compensation
of assistant marshals of the census of 18TU, the increase
rot to exceed fifty per cent of the amount of compensa

sus in the Pacific States would be a failure unless this in
creased pay was allowed, and that in those States and in
some of the Territories t be wsrk was already sn.pended.
Mr. Sumner won satisfied, from personal investigation,
that it was impossible to take the consus at the present
rate uf compensation.
Mr C'orliett had read by the Clerk a letter from the
Marshal of Washington Territory, representing that of
those to whom commissions had been sent, but two had
been heard from, owing to the inadequacy of the compen

tion be confined to the sparsely settled 8ttes and Terri

compensation provided for enumerators, under the act of

OBITUARY.
Frnnz I.eo Waldeck.
Franz I.co Waldeck, a distinguished liberal states
man ot Prussia, died recently at Berlin. He was
born on the Slat of July, 1S02, at Muuster, the capi
tal of the province of Westphalia. After passing
through a regular academic course he studied Juris
prudence at Gottmgen for three years, and was ap
pointed to several Important othcial positions in the
C.lilerent cities of Westphalia, in 1610 he took up his
residence In Berlin, where he was appointed judge
of one of the higher courts. He was inspired by a
profound sympathy with the democratic spirit of the
Prussian civil code, and his devotion to
the cause of popular rights earned for
him the name of the "peasant king."
The revolutionary movement of 1S43 enabled him to
press his favorite ideas with greater force than
beforehand he began to take an active part in na
tional politics, lie was elected in four different
places as representative to the Prussian National
Assembly, where he at once made his mark as a
radical leader, and an advocate for the rights of the
people. Ills extensive legal acquirements secured
his appointment as chairman 01 tne committee tor
the revision of the Constitution, and to his foresight
and resolution the most valuable liberal provisions
of the new form are mainly, due. In the spring of
1S49 Waldeck was accused by some of his political
opponents of a conspiracy against the Government,
but after an examination which lasted seven
months he was acquitted, and the charges
were shown to be without the slightest foundation in
reality. In the same year he retired from pubiio
life and devoted himself to his judicial duties and to
literary pursuits. In I860, although advanced in
lile, he again became a member of the Legislature
and a prominent member or tne democratic party.
Old age and innrinitles, however, led him to gradu
ally withdraw from public life, although to the last
he was In full sympathy with tne liberal and pro
gressive ideas of the age, and held fast to his hope
of a German democratic unity, founded on popular
education, popular intelligence, and popular free
dom.

whereupon Mr. Bchenck withdrew the amendment.
A number of points of order were made as to his
right to do this, all of which were overruled. Finall y
Mr. Schenck renewed his amendment, with then sin

conded by a vote of DO yeas to 83 nays. Thereupon

sion this Mornln-Ile Refuses to Urant the
Prayer of the Memorialists.
This morning Judge Paxson delivered a decision
In the case of the Citizens' Association vs. The Pas
senger Railway companies, in which the former
pray that the court may send bills of indictment be-
lore me urana j ury, cnarging one aeienuants wun
maintaining a nuisance in the shape of bad road
ways.
Thejuiige considered mis an extraordinary re
quest without a corresponding emergency arising,
lie referred to the city ordinances and the laws of
the State, pointing out the way in whicn the citizen
could obtain redress for the alleged great public
nuisance, none 01 wmcn nan as yei been taken ad
vantage of by the petitioners. lie held that if the
Court became the prosecutors in this case, and of
their own motion, without even a complaint made
under oatn, launcn tneir Doits irom tne nencn ana
point out individuals or corporations as proper sub
jects of indictment, all the good they could possibly
accomplish in this particular case would be more
than counterbalanced by the Intolerable evils which
might spring up from tne precedent tnus established.
He also said that cases might arise, such as yellow
fever or cholera suddenly breaking out in a large
city, and requiring Immediate steps to be taken for
the protection or tne public neaitn, Dut tne urgent
necessity which would exist in that case was not
apparent in the present
in conclusion ne inaicatea as iouowb, tne conclu
sions to which the entire Court had arrived
"First. W hue a power resides lu the Court to trlva
in charge to the Grand Jury matters of serious public
import, sticn as aneci tne puoiio peace, or tne exist
ence of great nuisances, yet this power, which Is a
most delicate one, Is never exercised unless under
urgent necessity, or when, 'rom the peculiar cir
cumstances of the case, public Interests would suffer
from the delays incident to the ordinary forms of
law.
"Second. The exercise of this power rests In the
sound discretion of the Court, and when adequate
legal remedies exist oj statute, oy ordinance, or ny
Indictment at common law, the Court will not gene-
rally move until these remedies, or some of them,
have been Invoked.
"Third. The court, m the exercise of this power.
in the exceptional cases above referred to, will ,
direct it against oirenses rather than against Indi
viduals or corporations. It Is for the Grand Jury, '
after inquiry, to make presentment of tae indlvldu- ;
als or corporations connected with or guilty of the ' t
commission of the alleged offense, whereupon It 1
may become the duty of the District Attorney, as
the pubiio prosecutor,' to send np bills of Indictment -against
either individuals or corporations. ,
'Let these petitioners resort to tneir legal reme
dies. If these fall, and a great public nuisance exist
seriously affecting the public interests, the Court, of '
Its own motion, may charge the Grand Jury to in- i
vestifirate. not the acts of this or that company, or of .
any Individual, bnt a general matter which will then '
relate to things rather than to speciflo corporations, !
companies, or individuals." . . . ;
