SEVERE FIGHTING IN FRANCE THE ADVANCING
NATIONALS DEIVEN BACK.
Paris, April 2, Evening, via London, April
3 6 A. M. Fighting has been going on at
various points sine yesterday. In the Plaoe
do la Concorde this morning, cannonading
was distinctly audible, the sound coming
from the direction of Neuilly.
The fortress of Mont Valerian opened fire
on the columns of the Nationals, which were
marching on Gourbevoie, and kept up a con
tinuous fire for several hours, to prevent
them from establishing themselves in position
there. The Nationals were finally compelled
to retreat, after Buttering considerable loss in
killed and wounded.
A special despatch to the London Times
says the fighting at Courbevoie was sharp.
The reports are conflicting as to which side
fired the first shot. The Nationals were at
first driven into Courbevoie, where they main
tained themselves for some time, protected
by the houses. They were at last shelled out
by Fort Valerien, and fell back to the bridge
at Neuulv.wb.ere they Kept up a not lusmaae
From this position they were again forced
to retire, and finally withdrew into the city
and shut the gates. The Versailles troops
did not attempt to follow. An estimate, pro
bably exaggerated, puts the loss of the Na

1IIE COLLEGE GHOST.
Another Thrilling Chapter In the Memphis
Sensation The Possessor of the Myste
rious .Tar nearly Murdered and the
Trcasnre Stolen.
The Memphis Avalanche of Wednesday last
has the following:
Last evening annmtief of persons were Bitting to
the parlors of J. R. Robertson, Esq., whoso name
has become quite prominent In connection with the
spook sensation, when a noiso was heard in the
baex jsrd, as of some persona talking. Mr. Robert
son remarked that some person was evidently lu the
yard, and went out to see what was the matter.
In about five minutes, a servant mnn came run
ning Into the parlor and said that Mr. Robertson
was
l.YINH T'KAD IN THE BACK PART OF THE YABD.
Several of the gentlemen immediately proceeded
(o where Mr. Robertson was, and found him lying
InM rsiblc In a pool of blood, near a small stable In
the rear of his lot.
A LONG, COLT-LOOKING WOUND,
that, appeared as if made with a knife or some shirp
Instrument, extended about four Inches over tho
I( reln ad, from the left eye back towards the crown
f Ms head, and also tho marks of a person's
fingers upon his throat, as if ho had been choked.
A reporter of this paper at once proceeded to Mr.
Robertson's residence and received the following
particulars of the outrage from the sufferer himself:
lie said that just as he stepped out he noticed a
couple of men standing under the wood-shed. He
had not had time to Rive any alarm, when the men
rushed out and caught hold of htm, one of them at
the same Instant shoving a pistol in front of his
face and telling him to give no alarm
or they would kill him. One of tho men
said to him, "We have come after that jar,
and jon have got to tell us where It Is, or we'll kill
you." Mr. Robertson, fearing for his life, told them
that the jar was underneath the seat In the out
house, attached to a rope, and told them how to get
it. One of the men at once started to the out-house,
while the other remained with him, guarding him.
In abo.it two mlnntes the man returned with the
Jar, when the man who had been guarding the pri
soner suddenly grasped him by the throat and com
menced choking him severely.
Mr. Robertson begged the man for God's sake not
to kill him, as they now had what they wanted; and
while he was still speaking the other ruffian struck
him a violent blow over the head with what he sup
posed was a pistol, and rendered him unconscious.
WARNED OF VIOLENCE.
He states that he received on Monday morning a
letter telling hlra that violence was intended him,
but thought nothing of it.
The questions now are, who attacked him? and at
whose instillation was tho attack made? Are there
any persons who feared the result of tho jar open
ing? Were the radians actuated by a desire to plun
der, believing the Jar's contents to be valuables?
This seems the most probable theory : as Mr.Robert
son, during the entire excitement growing out of
the Brinkley College affair, has only, like hundreds
of others, sought to unravel the mystery, is a man
whose life Is blameless, and we doubt if he has a
personal enemy in the world.
THE WAR OFTUE riGMIES.
Honduras and San Salvador at Sword's
Points.
The petty republics of Honduras and Salva
dor are again at war. The Panama Star and
Herald says:
"In a circular note to the Governments or Guate
mala, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, the Minister or
Honduras says that after a conciliatory note had
been despat ched to the Minister of Foreign A (fairs
of Costa Klca, accepting the mediation of Costa
Rica for en arrangement between Honduras and
Salvador, a notice has been received by the Minister
of War, from the commander of Choluteca, givlug
an account of an act of aggression on the night of
the 21st of February, by a force from Salvador, at
tacking and surprising, in the town of Uoascoran. a.
picquet of soldiers charged with the care of the rail
road.
This sudden and unexpected attack, without anv
declaration of war, and having admitted the media
tion of Guatemala and Nicaragua, proves that Hon
duras is not the aggressor.
"The note ends by saving that the Ooverment of
Honduras thus llnds herself under the Imperious ne
cessity of accepting the war which has so unjustly
been forced on her, leaving all the responhslblllty
with Salvador.
"In a communication to Salvador, the Minister of
Honduras warns Salvador that the neutrality of the
railroad has been guaranteed by the Governments
of the United States of America and Great Britain.
"Honduras formally declared war against Salva
dor on the Cth of March, on the basis that the gov
ernment of Senor Duenas, of Salvador, has Invaded
the territory of Hondnras without previous decla
ration of war, even while the mediation of Nicara
gua and Guatemala had been accepted."
