some fruit-pieces by Mr. Milne Ramsey of

formed a pleasant reunion of artists and their
friends after the dispersal of the summer sea

were highly appreciated. The galleries, as
seen last night, were really splendid, eclipsing
anything of the kind ever witnessed in this
city. The walls have now been decorated
with elaborate frescoes of the greatest origi
nality, an Egyptian order being selected for
the ground-floor gallery and a lighter Etruscan
style for the rooms, upstairs. A rich walnut
stairway, with inlaid landings and padded
balus(rade, now ascends from the midst of the
lower room tp the galleries, in place of
the more ptiblic stairs which formerly
precipitated the visitor at once into the street.
The floors of the painting-rooms are Inlaid
with a pattern of marquetry, partly concealed
by the most splendid carpets: Carved easels
and pedestals with statuettes added to the op
ulent taste of the affair ' while vases, hanging
baskets;and gilt bouquet-tables filled the house
With perfume from a whole 'conservatory of
flowers. The whole arrangement devised by
Mr. Hazeltine is admirably conceived to stim
ulate the appetite for art of.a choice character."
The families of this wealthy city, under such
influences, are bound to leave, the simpler tra
ditions of the past, and take their places in
the splendid competition for luxury and ele
gant taste.
INJIISUIt E.
A Maryland Jury Declare the Murder of ,
a Negro Piot a Crime.
A correspondent of the Baltimore American,
writing from Elkton, 3aryland, says :
Our town, and in fact our county, has for
three days past been in a state of excitement
consequent upon the trial in the Chant Court,
now in session here, of Wm. S. Potter, a white
11k113, for . the shooting of Wm. Flammer, a
black man. The issue of this case already de
monstrates how far a colored man is safe,
either in person or property, in the bands of
so-called Democratic 'rulers. The facts of the
case, as testified to before the Court, are
these : . About, the 25th day, of last June Wm.!
S. Potter, a farmer and young scion of the,
Maryland chivalry, coming home after a
short absence, finds that oue of his bands, a'
colored man, Wm. Flammer by name had
left his employ and gone to the field' of
- neighbor to work. • The said Potter's chival-;
roue blood boils that one of the despised race ,
should dare to so far consult his own pecuniary_
interest as to work where he is bestpaid, and;
he determined to puniSh him. Ho (Potter);
armed himself with a pistol and proceeded to:
the field where the man Flammer was at
work, •and in the' midst of the workmen
119, unfortunately, were sill blaclui---after
asking him' coolly why he leftthis field, and
before he (Flanuner) could:roPly, deliberately

The evidence was as clear as the sunlight, •
and no set of men; 'either black or white, ever
gave more straightforward; unvarying state-'
ments than did • these_colored witnesses.
'Neither did Potter' dey the' killing, but
claimed it was accidental; but tlAere was not
the'slightest proof of , aceident,'and in the
name of common SQ,IIBO how can ft; man call

LONDON, Oct. 4, P. M.-There has been an
interruption of the telegraphic Communica
tion between Eng la nd and Spain
during to-day, which is attributable in part to
a storm which has prevailed on the coasts,
but in the min to the cutting of the telegraph
wires communicating with the various ports
of Spain by the insurrectionary forces opera
ting at certain points inward finm the iihore
line in that country.
The latest advices to hand previously report
that a battle had taken place at LE' spera Gu
erra between the government troops under
General Palacios and a republican force mus 7
tering 1,100 strong. The revolutionists were
dispersed and compelled - to retreat to the
mountains, after an obstinate resistance, dur
ing which they lost forty killed and sixty
wounded, and had twenty-three of their num
ber made prisoners. - The government troops
lost twenty men killed, and twenty-eight
wounded. •
The American-Cuban diplomatic difficulty
is regarded as terminated. The Spanish gov
ernment refuses all oilers of foreign mediation
in the awe, maintaining the position that the,
condition of affairs in Cuba is a domestic
question entirely.
Major-General Sickles has, consequently,
transmitted to the Madrid Cabinet an official
note formally withdrawing the tender of a
friendly mediation by the government of the
United States between the Spaniards and the
island revolutionists.
The Terrible Murder Near Paris.
[From the London Telegrapirof Sept. 23.1 •
An awful murder of a woman and five chil
, dren,ost discovered in Pantin a few minutes
from Paris, is the event of the d.ks ,. , and causes
great excitement among all . classes. Yester
day Morning a peasant was beginning to liar
iow his field, when he saw some, stains -- of
blood a few steps distant from him. Immedi
ately following the traces, -he comes to a spot
which appears to have been newly stlrred,and
.removes a spadeful of earth, when, to his hor
ror, sees-a bloody arm. half unburied. So
frightened is the- peasant at so unexpected
au occurrence that he drops his spade
and runs to the ,Commigsaire de Po
lice as fast as, his leas will carry
him. The crowd gathers, assistance is called
for; and body after body is disinterred—first a
child of seven,then a youth of fourteen,a little
,girl four yea= Old, a woman of about thirty
live, in a. neat black silk dress, another boy of
,eleven, and another-again of sixteen. I leave
to-iinagine the horror of all
present at the, sight before them, the victims
each bearing three or four fearful wounds.'
Near the spot lay a common black-handle
knife, with the blade broken ; btit another in
-strtunent, such as a small hatchet or pick-axe,
must have been used as well. The crime was
evidently -committed but very few hours
before its discovery, but the mur
derer or murderers,' have not yet been
found, though there are .great presumptionsagainst the lather: The whole family is sup
posed to have come thereby a train on Sun
day evening, but up to the present moment
their name and residence are unknown.
They certainly belong to the bourgeoisie class.
The woman, who Was found to be enceinte, and
who was cruelly wounded in the stomach—
still wore earrings, a watch and chain, and
all -- carried money in their - pookets:' isince
yesterday morning the police are investiga
ting in every direction ; and surely their
search must lead to the disclosure of the as
yet impenetrable mystery, Among the hor
rible, details, it is stated that, to all appear
ances, the woman, who is supposed to be
the mother of the younger persons, was
killed by blows from an axe or hatchet, while
the others - were , stabbed repeatedly with a
knife, and doubtless more than- one knife had
been used besides the broken one which was
found near the bodies. The younger children
had evidently been attacked while they were
eating, fur iu their hands were found, tightly
clasped, pieces of bread and sausages. The
youth of sixteen must have made considerable
resistances, - for his clothes bore all the signs of
a struggle, and his body had been pierced all
over with stabs. It has been ascertained that
on the previous night five tickets had been
received from persons who had arrived
by the, last train which was proceeding
to Paris, and it is conjectured that these
may prove to be the persons who have been
assassinated. The circumstance that there
were only five tickets, while six persotis were
found murdered, is explained by the supposi
tion that the youngest child may have traveled
without being paid for. After the bodies had
been seen bv the Judge dlnstraction and the
Chief of Mice, who arrived' about midday,
theyovere
. placed in covered carriages, and
taken to the Morgue, ac6nipanied by an es
cort of soldiers from the neighboring military
station at Aubervilliers, which is situated
about a stone's threw from the scene of the
inurderiwhich is close to the railway station
at Pantin. Photographic likenesses were
taken of the murdered tbersons. It seems
to be confidently • beheved that - the
murders were not and could not have
been committed by one person, but by a gang
of assassins more or less numerous. Again,
it is argued that the bodies had been conveyed
from the place where the actual murders
were- committed, and burled in the fields
where they were found. •It is conceived that
it is impossible to have massacred six persons,
an action which could scarcely have been per
formed without some noise, in the small space
where the bodies were found, and in an open
'field. A seller of agricultural implements at
Pantin states that an individual who seemed •
hurried . and tandem bought a hatchet - from
him . on 'Sunday, without making any remark
abont 4 the price. Two persons have been ar
rested on suspicion of being -concerned in the
crime.

It Lim been ascertained from' autnetato,
sources, and may be definitely stated; that the'
following are in substance 'the views enter

out by his Administration, with 'reference to s
the questions involved in the. Buterpe case :
The shipment of arms and munitions of war
to either party engaged in tile Cuban struggle;
is not prohibited. The revolutionists -have an,
equal right to buy and ship arms with the
Spaniards. It is upon the litting-out of a na-,
val or miiitary expedition'that .the neutrality:
inws operate. It is an, entire mistako)to.Sup-i
_pose that the Unitell_ ; _;_,Stavrt.__ollicerst
have ever been instructed ~stop the
shipment of merchandise, thOtigh;
it bile in the form of articles ,contratiand.
of war. The owners and master Of ) tlie vessel;
must in all cases take their , own risk; but if• an;
expedition whether of armed men , or armed
vessels, or if a vessel fitted out and prepared
and intended for naval walfare, ,statteet tr4ral
our ports, then a question of our duty as nen.'
Weis or as a' friendly power 'arises ; .and even;
if we had acknowledged the. independence'of i
Cuba, our diity , and our , rule' could not be dif-i
ferent, until we had , directly 'and publicly,
espoused one side of the quarrel. by making,
war upon the other., It must beremembered that!
Joe constantly bought arms of England during!
theßebellion ; and no one, questioned the right
of _Englishmen to sell to' ,us or the Confeder-;
acy. • Blockade-runners took their own'risk of
capture; but the Alabama was fitted out as, a
ship of war to destroy our commerce; The
Cuban Republicans must learn to draw this
distinction before complaining of our conduct.
In this respect, as before remarked, the re
cognition of their indepen d ence ,would not
alter the law—Tribune.

the above facts and asked for 'in
structions. The President sent for the
Secretary of the Navy, Secre.tary Fish and

ensued. It was shown that aprivateer—which
-the-Cuba teiconceded to be--could,` come into
the port of any nation under stress of weather,
and remained twenty-four liottis'wfthout
molestation or detention/. Beyond, this it is
not thought that the Cuba,F.ould remain in an

how long the Cuba had been in port,
and other facts and circumstances connected
with the case. tip to .a late hour this evening:
no reply had been received., It is thought
here that the Cuba did' pot 'remain over the
prescribed time and has'got to 'sea again. Hit
:•hould turn out that the• Cuba was ready to

TAE 7RDIANAPOLIS DISASTER.
Explosion of a Steam Boiler at the State
Fair Grounds—Men and Women Killed
and Mangled in a Terrible Manner.
[From the Indianapolis Journal, October 2.1
Four days of unexampled pleasure and pros
prrity butt attended the otite lair. About 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon, when everybody
seemed elated over the success of the exhibi
tion, and when thousands were preparing to
leave for their homes, a terrific explosion was
heard in the vicinity of Power Hall, which
brought terror to the he:irts of the people.
THE EXPLOSION.
At I o'clock, the hour assigned, there had
been a trial of portable engines and saw-mills,•
told into the competition several firms entered,
among them Sinker Sr, Co. engine-builders,
and Long, Joseph Carter, sawyers. The
test Mid been completed; and the victory, if a
victory it is, had been won by the Sinker ma
elite... Seven ' , minutes and a half of sawing
had been done, with every part of engine and
null strained to the utmoist• tension, after
which the fires had been • permitted to
go down anti the machines to rest.
About three o'clock, Mr. Sinker's foreman
thought it advisable to saw u the logs on
hand, so as to clear up f e oval on the
morrow. The engine was started, and the
task accomplished with the exception of two
s. turns." The pit beneath the saw was filled
wnh sawdust, and a temporary rest was taken,
to allow• two , colored belpers to clean it out.
A large circle of interested lookers-on, were
gathered about the area occupied by the ma
chinery, while here and there over the
,_,o•rouutts were scattered twelve or fif
teen thousand people. At a 'mo
ment of undisturbed quiet, while
the hum of the machinery was hushed and
attention directed toward the ring, in which
the fast trotting was about to commence, a
noise like the explosion of a, pack of artillery
saluted the ear, and a concussion - of the earth
as of an earthquake sent a thrill of fear to the
heart. A volume of steam, a blinding cloud
of dust and smoke, the )air filled with dibris
of timber, of pieces of iron, of shreds of
clothing, parts of human beings, of groans
and of shrieks, men falling hither and thither,
and ranks opening as if plowed through with
grape and shrapnel, told the fearful tale of the
explosion.
FORCE AND EFFECTS OF THE EXPLOSION.
The engine was upset about seventy-five ,
yards west of the Power Hall, and the saw
mill some fifty or one hundred feet due nortl
of the engine. The force •of the explosion
seemed to be lateral. Heavy pieces of the mt
chinery were blown to the, north• and west a
long distance ; a few of the lighter pats
were found some distance to the ; east, iut
more were`blown backward. Those who ittw
it say that nothing was ihroivn }Aber
than dairtyor forty-feet. The bodies of several
men were lifted into. the air, and alightel in
mangled and mutilated shapes many •ards
from where they were standing 'when, Bruck

President Grant on Howie Induitry.'
In traveling through the State of Pennsyl
vania, General Grant's attention was directed
not only to the scenery, but . also to the re
sources and industries of the _State,, and he
took occasion to express his °Pinions iri /fami
liar and informal style to the gentlemen who
accompanied him. ,
In discussing the agricultaral and manufac
turing interests of the country; President
remarked that the annual importation of iron
and steel, and other manufactures which could
he as well •produced ' home; amounted: to
more than $100,000,000. This he: supposed to
be what was required for 'consumption over
and above the domeStic supply, and he asked
a gentleman familiar with the iron business
within what length of; time the home product
of iron might be expected to becotne suifieient
for the country.
In reply to, this, Mr.„ M. stated ~ that the
amount imported did not indicate aranability
of the country to produce all that, is ,needed.
That the prosperity Of 'domestic marinacture
stimulated demand and' enabled 'consunierh to
buy and pay for kinds and shapes of -foreign
iron not made in this country, Crenot made so
cheaply here. That notwithstanding the
prosperity of the business 'the. average profits
were no larger than those derived from capi
tal invested in other . .ways,; aritt that duties
under the present tariff were 'not so high as
to prevent foreign ..e,Cimpetition, .yet high
high enough, if maintained; to extend the
home manufacture, and ultimately to Obviate
the necessity of making large purchas es abroad.
The President then said that. thought it
very desirable that we should have a sufficient
supply froni domosticsources, and thus benefit
the labor of the coniffiy, and effect''a saving
of the millions ,of dollars now annually ex
pended for foreign iron and steer
Mr. M. alluded iii terms of commendation
to Mr. Boutwell's successful management of
the Treasury and of the large reductions,of
the public de bt which he had effected„.,
The President responded by, saying, that
Boutwell was doing, nobly.
These weighty words show that the Presi
dent understands the importance of 'stimula-'
ting home industry as a means of benefiting
the workingman, and of sustaining and im
proving the financial credit of the Govern
ment,

ENGLISH OPERA AT TIIE ACADEMY
Madame Parepa-R osa introduced herself and
her new company to*the Philadelphia public
last night in Maritana, and inaugurated the
season with a very successful performance.
The audience was large,' and inclined to be
enthusiastic. Madame Rosa seemed to be
i-oniew hat nervous when she _first - came upon
the stage, and her voice seemed to have lost
some of its fre.shness and smoothness; hut
toward the .end.of the first act she regained
her powers, and sang magnificently to the
conclusion of the' opera. She surprised
some persons, in the', audience by dressing
for the part with such charming
taste; that' . she seemed as just a
representative of the gitana as a person of
slighter figure would have done. Madame
Rosa played throughout with considerable
dramatic power. Mr. Campbell's "Don Jose"
and Mrs. Seguin's "Lazarillo" are Well knoWn
to the public as excellent personations. Mrs.
Seguin; however, sang with more than usual
sweetness and acted the part with new energy
and pourer. , Her rendition of the prison aria
was veiy . charming. There is
,a, very per
ceptible?' improvement in the metliod of this
artist, and in the quality of her Voice. Mr.
Laureate's personation of the king was SlitiS
factory. He is not •.much Ofan' adtor
btu, ;lie has a good . voice; and
'sue'. a part. 28 that of : the - king
doe not (lc inand remarkable histrioniepowers.
Mr, Castle's "Don Caesar" is his finest charm.
ter. He sang and acted it last night with cus.;
toiary fervor. The chorus was large, and
under complete control. The orchestra also
wLs very large, and in excellent training. It
contained a full representation of all the - in-
sruments. It was led with great ability by
r. Carl Rosa, who paid more :attention 'to
,he shading in the instrumentation, and in the
vocalization of the chorus than leaders are
'apt to do. This evening Miss Rose
