THE - PARIS - EXPOEITIONOFIB67 The Scene on the Ohamp de Mars. Progress of the Exhibition Buildings, LCorrespondence of the Philadelphia Eve. Bulletin.] PARlS'Friday, Oct. 26th, 1866.—1 t is a wonderful Bight at the_ present ,nioment to stand on the summit of the heights of the Trocadero, and look below at the scene now spread around you in all directions. The Trocadero, I must inform my non-Parisian readers, is a sort of small mountain (so de signated, if I remember rightly, after .a sue cessful combat of the French arms in Spain), situated to the southwest ofParisyjust facing the Champ de Mars. It is, therefore, now placed in the very midst,and commands one of the finest views both of the stupendous works going on in that direction for the em bellishment of the capital, and also of•the entire field of operations for the forthcoming Exhibition. Only a few months ago the Trocadero was a rugged and difficult height, accessible only on foot, and chiefly frequented by climbing schoolboys, oat for a holiday. It sometimes served also for military pur poses; and I remember, some fifteen years ago, seeing it defended by an army of 30,000 men, on one side of the Seine, and attacked by a second army bf equal numbers, from the other side, in a great sham fight got up by the "President of the French Republic" (tempera mutantur et no. &el in honor of a fat and peaceable Lord Mayor of London! The quick eye of the Emperor and of his skilful Prefect of Paris detected the mag nificence of the site, both for a permanent embellishment and for the uses of the exhi bition ; and lo ! in a twinkling, the moun tain is converted into an immense inclined plane, rising gracefully and easily from the banks of the river, offering, as I have said , a splendid coup d'ccit of the entire Champ de Mars and its transformations, and pro-mising to afford, by next year, a delicious promenade and cool retreat to visitors weary of their long ram bles among the adjoining intricacies of Industry, Art and Science. The greater portion of the side of the mountain which has been removed has gone to form the un dulating surface of the Champ de Mars, now .converted into a Park, and also to construct the embankment of the adjoining circular railroad, which now runs entirely round Paris, and which, with its magnificent via ducts in the neighborhood of Auteuil,where it crosses the river, is of itself an object well worthy of the stranger's attention, both for its beauty and utility. Indeed, it is not too muck to say that the Exhibition itself will form only one-half of the attractions which Paris has to offer to the intelligent visitor who may enter its walls for the first time nest year. He has but to lookround him and he will see wonders going - forward on every side. At the very point on which we now stand, at the Trocadero itself, thou sands of square yards have been cleared of rubbish and a labyrinth of tor tuous lanes and alleys, and a suc cession of magnificent lines of ave nues and private palaces (this term is not exaggerated) has arisen in their place sufficient in itself to form a splendid cap!. tal. And yet this is one specimen of what is going on in every quarter of Paris, at al points of the compass, and that, too, simul taneously with the carrying out of such an undertaking as the Universal Exhibition. And now let us cross the river for one mo ment, ,by the Pont de Jena, and see how matters are progressing on the other side It is evident at a glance that although plenty still remains to be done, things are already assuming shape and consistency. The im mense outer circle of the Exhibition Build ing, that destined principally to machinery, now runs round its entire circumference complete, and conveys clearly to the eye the form which numberless engravings have before made familiar to it, I cannot say that the impression at present is a pleasing one. Ce n'tst pas beau is an expression which rises very generally to French lips at first sight of it, I have heard it even likened to immense gas-works. But perhaps it is not fair to Judge of the effects under its present coating of heavy iron-colored paint. The sweep of the outer-circle is grand and imposing; but it must be confessed that it wants com pletely the fairy-like grace and elegance and airy proportions of the English Palace at Sydenham, or any similar structure of glass and iron. The ponderous roof without an opening, hangs heavy and oppressive overhead; and all extent of perspective is necessarily cut short by the circular form. The sensation of vastness is what is chiefly conveyed; and in that re spect, I suspect that one's feelings, both mental and physical, - will be mosf completely convinced of the superiority of the French Exhibition of 1867 to all its pre decessors, before it is over. All the inner circles are also now complete as regards their external arrangements, and so are the galleries for the exhibition of fine arts, which, as seen in the plans, surround the central court, or garden. The latter is just now receiving the first experimental essays of coloring and decoration, in the Pompeian style, on the portico which runt round its aides. The erections in the, Park itself, which appear to be most advanced, are an ecclesiastical building in gothis style, des tined for the reception of painted glass and religious objects, and the International Club, which is to serve as a rendezvous for the interchange of ideas on science, art and industry, by the assembled world.

Extraordinary Explanation of a Sup posed Murder--A Man Drowned in a Subterranean Lake ' of Petroleum, &c. Some weeks ago a man named Alvin C. Temple, a citizen of New York, mysteri ously disappeared at 'Darning Springs. Within the last few days suspicion fastened on a person named Robert- S ISteinway as his murderer, and accordingly he was ar rested. Since his arrest he has written and published the following extraordinary state ment in the Parkersburg (West Vat). Times, of Monday last. It may only be another "oil operation," but we give' the story for what it la worth: . Editors Times: My object in writing-this communication is to lay before the public the facts 'attending the' distressing death of the late Alvin C. Temple, of the city of New York, as I have just been arrested here on a charge of being accessory to andthe cause of it. - I am here without friends or ac quaintances, and must go s to prison forwent of ball. I hope, however, in the course of a few days, to exonerate myself from all su=s picion of any complicity in the death of my friend. The deceased and myself were both resi dents of New York, and bad been ac quainted nearly ten veers; about the middle of September last we left home together on a tour to the oil regions of Southern Ohio and West Virginia. We came first to Ma rietta, Ohio, and visited the oil wells of Dock Creek. We then visited successively Horse neck, Sand Hill, White Oak, and Burning Springs. We arrived at the latter place on the afternoon of Friday, October 25. We spent Saturday in visiting the various oil wells. Sunday morning we started on a ramble .to make some observations as to the nature of the country. From this ramble Mr. Temple never returned, and upon this circumstance I have been arrested. I hope the public, after bearing my statement, will suspend its judgment until I can offer more proof of my entire inno cence. Mr. Temple, being something of a geologist, carried a leather sack, suspended by a strap over the shoulder, to contain the specimens collected; and bride hand a ham mer with a handle three feet long, such as is commonly used by geologists. We crossed the Burning Springs run at the mouth,and climbed up the hill on the upper side. About three-fourths of the way up we discovered an cgsopenin in the rocks. caused probably by some nvulsion of the earth. Into this we found that we could crawl some fifteen feet, when further pro gress was stopped by the fissure becoming narrower. Temple, by thrusting in his hammer, ascertained that the passage soon widened again, and that by remov ing some of the pieces of rock we could go on. We procured a sapling which we found on the ground above, which we used as a battering ram. We could hear the pieces fall as they were pushed inward, and from the sound knew the descent could be but a few feet. I went first, when we had opened the way, and descended by let ting myself down by the hands. Temple followed. Lighting a match and a piece of paper we found ourselves in a cavern about twelve feet square, in which we could stand upright. Pieces of broken rock, varying in size from an egg to a barrel, covered the ground. Temple collected home specimens, principally said-rock and feldspar, which tie put intoa sack to be examined at leisure. Our progress was very difficult on account of the loose andj egged stones. Partly feel ing our way, and now and then lighting 'a match, we managed to ascertain what I have related, and also to discover a fissure nearly opposite where we entered, some three feet at the bottom and gradually narrowing toward the top. Crawling into this we found it made a considerable descent until it opened into a spacious cave, the dimensions of which I cannot state, as it was not thoroughly explored. We found here the same chaos of broken rocks, and were continually bruising ourselves in climbing over and ''\ through them. Pro ceeding some thirty \yards we saw a light on our right, which proved to be caused by a split in the rock. Looking through it we could see the hills on the opposite side of the Kanawha, but could not open our way out. Leaving this on our right, we pro ceeded to make what explorations our limited means would allow. After going pH-1.)os fifty yards we were surprised at finding a small lake, or pool, as near as I can juusv, oume sixty feet in length by twenty teet wide. Its level was some three feet below the ground on which we stood. Tem ple inserted his hammer into this pool and round that instead of water it was oil—petro leum. I have not time to describe our sensa tions on this discovery, which promised untold wealth. After discussing-the matter for a few minutes, he attempted to try the depth with the handle of his hammer. He got as near the brink as he could, and was about executing his design, when the loose stones on which hei stood 'suddenly caved in with him. Ile stink, rose again, strug gled a moment, and I saw'him no more. I was powerless to assist him, even if I had not been completely bewildered. The weight of the specimens in his sack no doubt pre vented him from saving himself, as he was a capital swimmer. The horror of my situ ation may be imagined. I stood alone in that-rave wherein, was death and darkness, fully aware that when I went oat into the light .I would only meet strangers and sus picion. I called my companion by name again and again, till terrified by the se,ml - echoes that resounded through the blackness. _ This is the true statethent of the fact. Whether it will be credited is more than I can say. lam fully aware how difficult it is for me to answer the question. "Why did you not make this statement sooner?" Here is my reply. When I left the cave I went to my room at the hotel. Over whelmed as I was, I could not help being sensible that the discovery was an impor tant one, and resolvelitosecare the benefits of it; so I kept the matter quiet .until my designs should be accomplished. To this end I obtained a favorable lease from the agent of the . Rathbone Oil Company of the ground covering the cave. This lease, as, the county records will show, was made the day after the occurrence above revealed. It is made to George Temple, the father of Henry V. Temple, the brother of the late Alvin O. Temple. I have not re served to myself, directly or indirectly,any part of this lease. I hope this circumstance will go far to show that I could have no motive in causing the death of my friend. I do not think his relatives, or those who know me, will entertain the slightest suspi cion to my prejudice. Yet I feel that I can never have a moment's peace of mind until the judgment of everybody idual acquit nu OVRVUOLE 00171 k of tLeeharge. And now, Messrs. Editms, rtcpeat that you will give the foregaing tiis~E ment a platy in your Raper and thereby oblige a friendlese and grief-strioken man. ROBERT S. STEINWAY. The Double Murder at Coldwater, Mich.-- A DlTlded MouseNold and an Indew pendent A correspondent of th.e Detroit Advertiser gives the following particulars of the tragic occurrence -at Coldwater Mich., on -Satur day night, Nov. 8, when air old resident of the place shot his wife and a young man who was accompanying her to her resi dence, killing them both almost Instantly. The correspondent says: Mrs. S. K. Leach was the owner of a niil; linery and fancy goods establishment, and resided with her father in the eastern part of the city. Oe Saturday night, after closing her store, she started for home in company with her father, Mr. T. Dougherty, a sister, Mrs. Pickens, and a young man,Mr. George Brown. On arriving within a short distance of home they were met on the walk by Mr. Leach. Mrs. Leach and.young Brown were in advance, and immediately behind them I on the walk were Mr. Dougherty, Mrs. Pickens and Mr; M. S. Bowen. Leach I passed the couple in, front and halted to , speak to Mr. Dougherty, who had stopped to speak to Mr. Bowen in front of his resi dence. Mrs. Pickens asked her father to come on, apd as he did not come she has- 1 tened, overtook the others,and took the arm of Mr. Brown. Leach addressed Mr. Dougherty, asking him who it was with his wife? On being told, he turned and hastened after them, followed by Mr. Dougherty. As Leach came up with them, one of the ladies said, "Leach is following us." Mr. Brown turned partly around, and as he did so, Leach shot I him with a pistol, the ball entering his left side. Almost at the same instant Mrs. Leach turned around and he fired at her,the ball taking effect in the breast and passing directly through the heart. The two shots followed each other as closely as they could be fired from a revolver. When Brown was shot he turned to Mrs. Pickers and exclaimed, "I am shot dead; but never mind me, Nellie." He staggered against the fence and stood a moment, and then with the assistance of Mrs. Pickens, walked to the hease, a distance of about eight rods. Here she assisted him to a chair and then ran back for help. After sitting a few moments he fell forward neon the floor, groaning piteously, and blood issuing from his mouth, which for a time lead to the be lief that be had been shot in the month. By this time the neighbors began to come in. Mrs. Brown stooped beside him and asked if there was anything she could do for . him ? His lips moved in a vain attempt to speak, and with a gurgle in his throat he expired. This was within ten minutes of the time he was shot. When Mrs. Leach was shot she sunk down dead on the spot without a word or a struggle: and it was not until theietarn of Airs. Pickens from the house that it was known she had been shot at all. Help was soon got and the body was carried to the house. Leach, after firing the second shot, raised his hand towards Mrs. Pickens. when she dodged aside, and he threw the pistol to the ground. Mr. Dougherty was about two rods behind when the shots were tired. He- paid no attention to Mrs Leach, but followed on to secure the murderer; in tact, not knowing at the time that any one excepting Brown had been shot. In the meantime Mrs. Pickens hurried to the house with Brown, and re-, turning met Leach as she was running for help. - just then Mr. Dougherty came up and seized the murderer and demanded the pistoL Leach replled that he had not got it. Mr. Dougherty then took him to theehouse, Leach making no attemp t to escape or com mit further violent:ft Mr. Dougherty now bethought himself that the jail was the more appropri pl ate ace ;ter the murderer, and started back with him, stumbling over the body of Mrs. Leach on the way. Soon after passing the body they metllr. M. S. Bowen, who took the arm of Leach and started with him for thejail, assistance of nearly half a mile, Mr: Dougherty re turning to look after the murdered ones,' Leach walked qpietly along with Mr. Bowen for a distance of nearly a square, when they met Mr. Perkins, who took the other arm and went with them to the jail. Previously to meeting Mr. Perkins, Leach walked along quietly and firmly, manifest ing little or no excitement. After that he was more excited, and at intervals would seem to be faint, and would fall backward for a minute, and then recovering would pass on again. On one of these occasions be said: "I am not so much of a man as I thought I was." At another hesaid. "I have killed her, but I love her yet." Mr. Bowen said to him: "Perhaps not; she'may be only stunned, and may recover." He re plied: "It is useless to talk. The hand that sped that bullet knew its mark too well.' Said he: "Rill me, Bowen—shoot me—don't take me to jail—get out a crowd and hang me. lam ready." After he was put in jail, search was made for the pistol, and it was found lying on the ground about twelve feet from t he spot where the bloody deed was committed. It was a medium-sized five-shooter of Beare patent. It was cocked and had three charges remaining in it. -- Leach, on his way to jail, never once mentioned young Brown, though he spoke frequently of .his wife. Brown was about 25 years of age. He was a graduate of the law department of the Michigan University, and was• connected with his eincle t E. G. Parsons, Esq., in the law busittess in this city. He was an orphan, and had always lived with his uncle, Mx. Parsons. The causes which conspired together to bring about this sad affair have been in operation fora long time. The murdered woman was Leach's second wife. They were married about 12 years since, and had two children. For a time they lived happily together, bat about six years ago an estrangement began between them. Bitter family quarrels en sued, in which Leach sometimes used vio lence and made dark threats. His wife re ceived the company of gentlemen against Ids wishes, while the tongues of idle gos sips were busy. She lived with her father, and Leach was engaged in business that led him much away from the city. The breach kept growing wider, and the quarrels more bitter, until about a year ago, when Leach was driven from the house; and since then his wife has refused to have anything to do with him,treating him with public contempt on all occasions. On the husband's part, he has watched her every motion with a Jealous eye, follow ing her footsteps, going into her store, quarreling with her, and ordering other men away when he chanced to find them there, all the time , throwing o 1 dark hints of the terrible tragedy which has since transpired. Of late, young Brown had been frequently with her, and had been watched by Leach, who warned him to desist, threat ening the lives of both unless the intimacy stoPPed. Brown was also cautioned by others, but failed to held it, hits, Leook was frequently' warned of liar htzbband's threats, but they had been so- common and long-continued aslo be disbelieved. Luring the last week Leach hadteezi turned away from his.room at the Michigan Ekntthern Hotel, at the instance of Mrs. Leach, and on Saturday afternoon she had him arrested for assault'and battery. On his omising to appear for trial, the officer permitted him to go at large, and within a few hours the terrible deed was committed. GREAT FIRE IS NisimvuLLE, Be2truetion of the Broadway Varfettes— Loss Nearly 0030,000. At about ten o'clock on Sunday night,. a the was discovered in the wholesale liquor rooms of James Walker, No. 60 Broad stiset Before the engines could be got to work the upper stories were ablaze. In a few mo ments, says the Banner, the whole building occupied by the Broadway Varieties Thea tre, Adler's clothing store, Walker's, and as the sleeping apartments of the Varieties people, was a mass of blockened and burn ing ruins. The wooden structures in the rear of the Varieties were consumed and the third story of the building occupied by Blood, Gregory Jr Co., and A. C. Tucker, was al most totally destroyed. The following thrilling incident is related by the Banner in conneetion with the ef forts to save a block of buildings adjoining those destroyed:: When the fire was raging fearfully, and had broken through the dry shingles in at least twenty places, and when every one had given the building up for lost, the en gine being Unable to play upon a certain spot from which jets of flame were spouting, a man's head suddenly appeared above the roof, then his whole body, and in a moment be atocd upon the sloping side with a bucker of water in his hand. Be had ascended a hastily made ladder, constructed by Mr. Rugg and himself, and uR the crazy the buckets leading to the third story the buckets were passed to the brave man upon the roof. The crowds in the streets closely watched every movement. A mo ment later and a thrill of horror ran through the immense throng. Thompson lost his foothold, and was sliding down the roof, still clinging to his bucket of water, and, catching at the wet and slippery surface. Half-way down, and he griped the yielding rotten shingles, and thrusting his arm through a hole in the roof, stayed his fear ful progress and saved himself from instant death upon the boulders fifty feet below. A long, loud cheer went up from thousands of throats as the brave man again secured his footing and applied himzalf to the task so bravely undertaken. The slumberer in the third story of the Varieties building barely escaped with their lives, little Charley Davis throwing some feather beds upon the roof of the small wooden building twenty feet below, and one by one of them jumping from a window upon it. They escaped with only their night clothes. Mr. W. B. Gregory was badly burned on pne side of his face while laboring to sub due the flames in Mr. Tucker's rooms and the roof of Castleman'tt building fell in as he was descending the stairs with a trunk, which be had taken from the third story. It is asserted by some that the fire started in the cellar under Adler and Walker's stares, and they scented it, but knew not what it was, long before it appeared above. The true cause is unknown, and will pro bably remain a mystery. The heaviest losers by the fire are Moul ten it Reed, $25,000, insured for $12,500; B. A. Adler,Vo,ooo, insured for $20,000: Jas. Walker, $35.000; insured for $26,000; Blood, Gregory ct Co., $10,000; W. Blood, $5,000; R. B. Castleman, $3,000: T. J. Meyerhardt, . 4 :5000. Loss of Insurance Companies, $60,575. DESPERATE EFFORT AT ESCAPE.—On the morning of last Wednesday, says the Doyistown (Pa.) Democrat, as'Eligh Sheriff Wilkinson was about entering the prison to unlock the inmates from their cells, he was both startled and surprised at the appear ance of the two Quakertown horse thieves who came leisurely up the yard on the porch and very cooly wished him good morning. They stated that they had made every effort to get away, and had failed, and gave up the attempt. An examination soon proved that the plan had been well laid, and the amount of work done in one night equalled some of the famed. exploits of Baron Trenck, especially when executed without a light and the slight tools at their command. ,The prisoners were confined together' in the centre cell of the second story of the left wing. They procured, as is supposed,from the wife of a prisoner named Barnes, who often visited her husband, a brace bit, and with this little instrument commenced their earnest struggle for liberty. First they bored out a square of the heavy oak flooring which had been harden ir g for half a century—removing this they picked out the mortar and loosened the heavy atones then removed the lath and plastering, and thus de scended into the dining room. Here, they resumed their labor by , sawing through the floor, and thus entered the 'cellar under neath. Then selecting what they deemed the most vulnerable spot, they commenced to tear down the wall, near three feet in thickness, and succeeded in Making an aperture clear through, but not wide enough to permit of their egress, owing to the iron sill above and the massive atones beneath. They then tried to scale the yard wall with - ropes made out of blankets, but did not succeed, and daylight coming on and they cold and disappointed, were forced to aban don the attempt. The prisoners, whose names are George Hays and Wil liam Og den, are desperate fellows, and have since been separated and securely ironed. FATAL ACCIDENT.—The Washington (ra.) Reporter says: A man named Jeremiah Stewart, of Nicholson township, Fayette 'County, was accidentally shot a ',few clays since. He had taken his gun and gone over to the house of a neighborwho was making Sorghum molasses, and as it was raining, one of the boys took the gun and put it under the edge of the 'pan to keep it dry.
