M. JULES FERRY.
The- New French Minister to the United
States.
It la announced that M. Jules Ferry haa been ap
pointed by the Frencli Government to represent It
at Washington In place of M. Tretlhard, who wil
return to France. Jules Ferry was born at St. Die,
In the Department of the Vosges, in 1832. He
studied law in Farla, and after an unasaally brilliant
examination he entered npon the practice of his
profession with great promises of success. About
three years ago he revealed himself to the great
public of Paris by the publication of a pamphlet en
titled "Lea Comptea Fantastlqnea deM.Haussmana"
This pamphlet started a terrible reaction agalns
the former Prefect of the Seine, and even before
the accession of Olllvler to power nearly cost him
his place. The figures which were for the first time
submitted to the public In this work
were made the basis of a prolonged
discussion in the Corps Leglslatir, which
brought the Government to the admission that there
bad been "irregularities" in Baron Haussmaan's ac
counts. M. Ferry at once became exceedingly
popular with the overburdened tax-payers of Farla.
At the elections of 18C9 he became a candidate for
the Corpa Leglslatir in the Sixth district of the capi
tal, inhabited chiefly by persons or aristocratic ten
dencies and surroundings. But M. Ferry showed
himself to be an orator of rare powers, and to the
astonishment and dismay of the Government party
was elected. In the Chamber, he proved himself to
be a fearless and effective opponent of the Imperial
policy, ao much bo, In fact, that he was frequently
classified as one of the "lrreconcllables."
In August last, when the public mind of Paris was
excited over the false reports of French victories
that were put forth, and by the more certain rumors
of disastrous defeat that made their way to the
capital, M. Ferry distinguished himself on several
occasions by hla efforts to obtain a calm considera
tion of the exigencies of the situation, and as the
Incapacity or the Emperor became more and more
apparent, he was Induced to speak against him with
considerable severity. After the overthrow
or the Empire, 51. Ferry was ap
pointed Administrator or the Depart
ment of the Seine, and he aided with Jules Simon,
Gambetta, Pe lie tier, and Rochefort in opposing a
call for a Constituent Convention. In November
last, M. Arago resigned the Mayoralty or Paris, and
Jules Ferry succeeded him as the Government dele
gate to fulfil the Mayor's functions. Both the
Mayoralty and the Prefecture waa nominally abo
lished, and the management or the affairs or Paris
was assumed directly by the Defense Govern
ment. In March, M. Ferry declined any
longer to perform the duties imposed upen him, as
he was nnable to agree with his colleagues aa to the
. best course to be adopted in the then critical state o .
affairs. Shortly after the removal of Generals D'Au
relies and Vinoy, that or the Prefect of Police, M.
Valentin,was demanded by the municipal deputies of
Paris, and M. Ferry was suggested as the latter's
successor. This change was acceded to by the Gov
ernment, but a few days afterwards M. Ferry wa
sent to Brussels to take part la the peace negotia
tions, the results of which are well; known to our
readers.
AFFAIRS AT CHATTANOOGA.
Progress of the Alabama and Chattanoo
ga Railroad Muss Its Creditors In Coun
cil. From the Chattanooga Timet of the 15th inst.
we learn that on the previous day the creditors
of the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad held
a meeting in that city, at which, colonel j.
Burch Cook presided. Mr. T. J. Carlile, private
secretary to Mr. Stanton, General Superintend
ent of the road, presented a report showing the
condition of that corporation, which showing
seemed to be favorably received by the creditors
present. Mr. Stanton was called upon to address
the meetiDg, and in doing so pledged himself to
do all in his power to pay every dollar of the
road s indebtedness. lie avowea that ne
was determined to fight the bankruptcy
proceedings to the bitter end, and asked the
: .creditors to join him In the straggle. Colonel
W. J. Sykes was called upon. Colonel Sykes
said that he Intended to bestow neither eulogy
sor censure upon Mr. Stanton. He was for the
road, its creditors and, the interests of the people
along the line, regardless of all companies or
combinations. It is a great work, and when its
connections are formed, it will be one of the
grandest enterprises of the age or country. lie
knew nothiDg of the motives of those who were
attempting to throw this road into bankruptcy,
but the eneci oi ine movement, it successiui,
will be to ruin many of the most deserving
of the creditors, to destroy, for a time, the
usefulness of the road, and cause it to be
sacrificed and placed at the mercy of railroad
and moneyed combinations. The speech of
Colonel Dykes was wen received by Ms auditors,
and much of it most heartily responded to. On
motion the Chair appointed a committee to pre
sent suitable resolutions and consult with Mr.
Stanton as what would bs the most advisable
course in the bankruptcy case. At the after
noon meeting the committee reported that they
had held a consultation with Mr. Stanton and
agreed to a series of resolutions embracing a
basis of settlement. These resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted, assert a determina
tion to resist all efforts to put the road in bank
ruptcy, to apply to the Governor of Alabama for
co-oBeration. to appoint a committee to examine
and report upon the books of the road, to
appoint J. C. Stanton to operate the road, and
appoint a financial agent, to give all debts for
labor precedence, to appoint an executive com
mittee to advise with and assist Mr. Stanton in
the economical and successful management of
the road, and to provide for the preparation of
an address to the creditors, asking an extension
of one, two, and three years on debts except
for labor and other personal service, and also
providing that 8 per cent, interest, with secu
rity, shall be allowed for said extension. After
the transaction of some other business, the
meeting adjourned subject to the call of the
chairman.
TON MOLTKE.
What He Thinks of tne German Sac
ee.Mea. Count Moltke says, in a letter to the poet
s . sin Iferlwltr. who addressed to him his
'Song of the New German Empire " '"To the
poet it is permitted to be prodigal. He sows
with full hands diamonds and pearls, the stars

same spirit he bestows his praises. In this

create nor dominate. The excellent but unfortu

graved on his tomb: 'How different is the ac
tion of even the best of men, according to the
times in which he lives! More than once the
most capable has failed, owing to the invinci
ble force of circumstances while a less capable
has been carried by it to success.' If I see
myself constrained, not by a false and vain
modesty, to consider as not deserved part of
the praises bestowed on me, I am not the less
Indebted for them, for verses like yours may
last longer than many a bronze or marble monu
ment." VALLANDIGHAM.
Ills Last Law Case.
The McGehan murder trial, the case in which
the Hon. C. L. Vallandlgham was engaged as
counsel at the time of his death, has created
great interest in Southern Ohio, on account of
certain political relations, and because its oc
currence involved the exposure of many promi
nent men of Hamilton, Ohio, as frequenters
of a faro den. On the night of December 21,
Thomas Meyers, a Republican, was shot, as
alleged, in a gambling saloon, by one of a
party of five men, who, according to
the Indictment, entered the place with intent to
commit the murder and according to a precon
certed conspiracy. The five men were Thomas
McGehan, now on trial, Jack Garver, Daniel
MaGlynn, James McGehan, and Ich. Sheeley, all
Democrats. The charge against them each is
identical, and the latter four will be tried in
turn after Thomas McGehan. Job E. Owens, one
of the chief witnesses for the prosecution, is
chief of the fire department of Hamilton, and
was in the faro saloon when the crime was com
mitted.
Mr. Follett made a long argument for the pro
secution on Friday. He dwelt at length upon
that part of the evidence to sustain the plea of
the defense that Meyers may have shot himself,
saying that the theory oi Meyers shooting him
self was only an evidence of the straits to which
the defense was pushed; Brewer's (one of the
witnesses) eye was on Meyers' pistol when the
fatal shot was fired, and he testified that it was
not entirely drawn from his pocket at that time.
In the next place, a theory that Joe Meyers
punched the hole in the vest and pants of Meyers
was combated by Mr. D oliett. counsel for de
fense smiled and suggested that It might have
been shot through after the murder.
The speaker then answered that the
marksman who shot those holes in the
pants and vest after the murder must have been
a marvel of accuracy. They were just where
they would cover the wounds in the body of
Meyers, and the mark of the ball that passed
through the pants was on the part of the sus
penders attached to the button-hole torn off by
the ball, lie then dwelt upon tne difference in
weight of the pistol balls. The one taken from
the noor, and evidently urea irom Meyer s pis
tol, was the heaviest. Meyer's pistol was a
larger and fired a heavier ball than the pistol
seen in the bands ofJTom McGehan ten days be
fore the murder. The trial would have been
completed ere this if it had not been so sadly
interrupted. The following words, written by
the correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
on Friday, read very strangely now: "Mr.
Mllliken will commence his argument on Satur
day morning. Whether Mr. Vallandlgham will
follow in the afternoon depends upon cir
cunstances." " '
A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
A Ship Propelled by a Turbine Wheel.
The Nashua (N. H.) Telegraph says that two
mechanics have been for ten days building a
small expermental ship there, which will be
launched, when complete, in the Nashua river,
and make a trial trip, it is thirty-two feet beam
and eight feet depth of hold, and its peculiarity
is in the propelling power, which is a novelty
invented by a man who has followed the sea for
many years. It Is thus described:
rue propelling, power is to ne tne turoine
wheel, set at the bottom of a flume rising five
feet from the shin s bottom, lhe water enters
the flume from the ship's side just below the
water-line. This opening is provided with a
valve to prevent the water from returning when
the ship lurches in a rough sea. How is the
water to leave the ship? asks every one. From
the bottom ot tne nume, near tne turbine
wheel, a tunnsl 18 Inches In diameter extends
along the ship's bottom to the extreme stern.
This tunnel is to be so constructed as to consti
tute a vacuum, and is to be supplied with a set
of revolving fans to accelerate the egress of the
water, and with valves to prevent the mnowing
of the water from the stern. The water in the
flume will have a head of five feet,
furnishing a power of nine horse. Now
the inventor, who is one of the workmen, ex
pects to secure one hundred revolutions of the
screw before the outer valve in the tunnel is
reached by the outflowing current of water, or
a rate of speed equal to five miles an hour. A
moving vessel always makes a trough in the sea
at the stern, and the taster tne vessel moves tne
creater the trough. This trough will lessen to a
considerable extent the pressure on the outer
tunnel valve, and the remaining force necessary
to overcome the pressure, open the valves, and
release the water is expected to oe created Dy
the movement of the vessel itself. The prin
ciple is that which will empty the bowl of a
common clay pipe drawn rapidly through the
water. Once in motion, the snip is expected to
attain a rate of speed only equalled by the
power or the turbine.
A HOLOCAUST.
Coal Oil Again Three Children Burned to
Death, aua Two tuners injured.
A serious fire, attended with the loss of three
lives, took place on Wednesday night at now

The origin of the fire is attributed to a coal-oll
lamp, which had been left burning on a table in
the room adlolnlner the sleeln" apartment, but

Particulars of the Connolly Murder and
Suicide.
New York, June 19. The particulars of the
double murder and suicide of Dr. Connolly on
Sunday are of absorbing interest. Dr. Connolly
had been for some two or three days on a peri
odical "spree," and Saturday and yesterday he
took occasional doses of morphine to quiet his
nerves. About 4 P. M. yesterday he entered
the bedroom of himself and wife on the rear of
the second floor, taking his two children with
him and locking the door. His wife soon after
wards endeavored to enter, but without success.
The police, warned by the neighbors, entered
the house about 7 o'clock, and forced open the
door. The room being dark the gas was lighted,
when a horrible spectacle was presented. On
the bed lay the father and children, all dead
and literally bathed in blood. The children had
nothing but their night clothing on. The fa
ther was clad In a white undershirt, covered
with blood, while a pair of red flannel drawers
served to add to the ghastllness of his appear
ance, leading one to believe, at the first glance,
that his entire clothing was soaked in blood
from head to foot.
The head-board waa spotted with blood, and
the bed clothing and mattresses soaked. A
rubber ball, with which the children had appa
rently been amusing themselves, all bloody, lay
on the bed. The weapon the lunatic had used
also lay on the bed. It was a carving-knife
with a blade sixteen Inches in length, and taper
ing gradually to a fine point. The throats of
both children had been cut, their jugular veins
being severed. The throat of the father was
cut nearly from ear to ear, and there were
besides several stab wont da in the breast in the
vicinity of the heart. A physician examined
the bodies, and announced that death had occured
several hours previous. Mrs. Connally was
rendered insane for the time by the terrible
discovery.

The demand for money shows some improve
ment to-day, but the loanable resources both at
tne banks and outside are quite large, and cur
rency is accessible on terms which cannot fall
to be satisfactory to borrowers. Lenders are
anxious to place their surplus funds during the
current dull season, and good paper finds ready
sale at 5 per cent, discount. In call loans the
market continues comparatively quiet, and rates
are easy at 45 per cent, with good collaterals.
Gold rules strong, and the premium took a
rather higher range. The sales in New York
this morning are quoted at ll'iU2, closing
at 112.
In Government bonds there is a good invest
ment demand, and prices are in close sympathy
with gold.
The stock market is dull, but prices are
stronger. Sales of City 6s at 100 for the new
certificates, and Lehigh gold loan at 90, ex int.
Reading Railroad sold at 58X58; Penn
