Governor Hoyt, on Friday last, slid down on the Independent side. On Thursday he authorized Deputy Attorney Gen eral Gilbert to announce that he would support Beaver and the entire Republican ticket, and to the con sternation of bis friends, the next day a letter from him was published declaring against Beaver. His vas cillbting, disingenous course so incensed Secretary of State, Colonel Quay, that he immediately resigned his position, declaring that he could no longer bold pleasant official re lations with tbe Governor. The correspondence has been published and places Governor Hoyt in a very unfavorable light. Colonel Frank Jordan, of Harrisburg, formerly Sec retary of State under Gov. Geary, has been appointed to succeed Col. Quay. He is openly and avowedly in favor of the election of General Beaver and the whole Republican ticket THANKSGIVING DAY.

The .roops returned the fire, and again a number of the mob were killed and wounded. So far as known only three of the troops were wounded, and they but slight ly. Private dispatches received here place the number of killed at five and the wounded at thirty. The steamer Granite State has passed rorusmouin.anu un.ess u.e .og pre- vents w-11 reach Maysvi e height, 1 1 .1 i wnere uie pri ners win .-e mu.- ferred to the railroad to be taken to Lexington." A special dispatch to the Commer cial from Ashland, Ky., says : This noon twenty-five men and boys who were partly intoxicated seized an en gine and car and went to Catletts burg, against the advice of sober men who hist night gave up all hope of getting the prisoners from the military. When they reached Catlettsburg they made no effort to capture the prisoners, who were safely placed on hoard the steamer Granite State at 3 o'clock P. M. The crowd then hastened hack to Ashland, and about twenty of them hastened to a ferry !oat and by the use of pirtnls compelled the captain Jo put out to intercept the Granite State. Their attitude was so ridiculous anil their case so hopeless that the a (fair would have been a farce hut j for the reckless discharge of a revol ver in the hands of one of the hoys on the ferryboat. It was answered I at once by a volley from the sol diers.

Here the mis chief was done. Only three were wounded on the ferryboat, while all the others on the casualty list were of the peaceable people on the shore. The following is a list of the killed: George Keener, James Mc Donald, Colonel Reppert, and an in fant in its mother's arms. Those seriously wounded are: John Baiiiih. Charles Balinger, Willie Serey, Will Springer, Mrs. Serey, Graham Ran dall and Robert Pritchard. The following are slightly wound ed: Martin Dunlap, Alex.

Colonel Reppert wa a highly-respected citizen, 70 years old. Mrs. Butler was a quarter of a mile away attending a meeting held to organ ize a public reading room. The citizens regard the firing on the fer ryboat as justifiable, but have no words to express their indignation at the firing on peaceacle citizens. Cincinnati, November 2. Mr. Phister, clerk of the Granite State says that Major Allen engaged their steamboat on Tuesday night to con vey the prisoners and troops to Mavsville, but that it was kept a profound secret, even from the other boat officers. Major Allen wishing to avoid a collission with the mob. They telegraphed to Major Allen that they would be at Catlettsburg at half past eleven, but they failed to reach there until afternoon. He thinks that if they had reached there promptly the whole trouble would have been avoided. When the boat came to Catlettsburg there were ominous signs of disturbance. Prominent men at that place assured Captain Kirker that the boat would be attacked, and a large shipment of cattle was kept off for fear of dis aster. A committee from the Ash land mob waited on Major Allen and demanded the prisoners. The demand was of course, refused, and the committee warned M ijor Allen that the prisoners would he taken. When the boat left Catlettsburg the mob took the train, which consisted of an engine and passenger car and four Hat cars. I he tram was filled with mf n, and as the road runs near the river, at the start men could be heard hallooing and could be seen firing at the boat. The distance was too great to make this r.f any other significance than that of defiance or threatening. When Ashland was reached the ferryboat was seen ap parently filled with belligerent peo ple, and the wharf boat was also full of men and the banks lined with people. The pilot blew two whis tles, as if desiring to land, hut with no intention of doing so. This was a ruse to get away fr m the ferry boat. When the latter saw that the Granite State was steaming bv. four whistles were sounded from the ferryboat to get the Granite State to land. No attention was paid to it, and then the firing began. The Granite State bad refused to take the prisoners until a written order was procured commanding them to do o. Brose Dennis, who, with Mr. Williamson, occupied the pilot house, the latter being on watch, savs two soldiers were placed in the pilot house to keep the pilots at their post. He states that shots were fired at the Granite State both from the wharf loat and from the men on the bank. Many of these were aimed at the pilot house, and six balls struck it. A number of other bullet marks appear on other parts of the boat Of the firing from the bank and wharf boat, Den nis is certain, and both he and Clerk Phister say that it would have been easy for the ferryboat to have over taken them nnd had a renewal of the battle if the troops had not acted with promptness in returning the fire. They sjeak in commendation of the action of the officers, and say there was no disposition shown to be bloodthirsty or malicious. Major Allen has made a statement substantially the 6ame as the above, in which he says : u The command ing officer, while regretting that he was compelled to take such strong and deadly measures, feels that they were forced upon him, and that the responsibility for the unfortunate re sults rests entirely upon the men wno attempted to take the law into their own hands." weleomed bv a formal address, in which their conduct was approved. Governor Blackburn says he tent the troops to Catlettsburg upon the application of Judge Brown, and while deeply 6orry for the dead aud wounded, he could not lay the blame on the troops, and if applica tion is made in February he will send twelve regiments, if necessary, to uphold the laws.

A Mother's Awful Deed. New York, November 1 One of the most shocking tragedies known in recent time occurred yesterday afternoon in the family of Dr. Ed ward C. Seguin, the noted special ist on brain diseases. His wife mur dered her three children and then committed suicide at the home on West Twentieth street. The tragedy was the result of the insanity of the mother. The children were: Ed ward D., aged G years; John Van Dvvyn, aged 5, and Jeannette, aged 4 years. The frightful feature of the trage dy is the manner of the murder. Mrs. Sequin took the children to an empty spare room at the top of a i live storv house :n the absence ot her husband, and when the servants - i i locked herself in with them. The ! servants believed thev h -d .-one out for a walk. Wlmt happened in the i w "'v'-r Known, imi nen ! Dr. Amnion, Mrs. .segum s brother, i C;illeJ 5 o'clock, and with his SUS picions aroused by the long absence of the family, made a search of the house. The mother and children were found dead, all shot through (the hejd. lhe children s hands j were tied behind their backs with i whip-cord. They were blindfolded with handkerchiefs, and from all ap pearances they must have been shot while playing at blind m:n's buff witn their executioner. 1 hey were dead for at least an hour and a half. and were quite cold when discover ed. Three pistols were found in the room, all of heavy calibre and all had been used. Sirs. Seguin had been despondent from physical causes, for some time, but she had shown no evidence of insanity. She was a small, slim woman of nervous temperament. Her domestic life was very happy, aud there was no lamily trouble. Three servants in the house no ticed during the day that Mrs. Se guin w as moody, a condition she had been in for several weeks, and which her brother, Dr. Amidon, termed "the blues." About eleven o'clock in the forenoon he called npon her and she said she did not feel well, and had written Dr. Henry Draper, who had been invited to dine with the family before his visit. This note she asked her brother to send. He took it, jokingly, and told her they would all enjoy themselves. Dr. Amidon called on his sister at three o'clock, and was told she had gone out for a walk. He returned at five o'clock, but Mrs. Seguin had not yet returned. The hall boy in cidentally mentioned that the door of the spare room was locked and the key gone. A sudden suspicion seized the Doctor that Mrs. Seguin had gone to Central Park and drowned herself and children, lie could not explain why he thought this. He immedi ately wei.t up stairs and burst the door of the room open. A horrible sight met his eyes. Almost in the middle of the floor lay the dead body of the eldest boy, Edward, in a pool of blood. Partfv in the closet lay m rs. Seguin, grasping in her riHht liantt a big pearl-handled re volver. Inside the closet lay the boy, John, and the girl Jeannette. There could be no doubt the mother had taken the children into the room on pretense of playing blind man's buff. She had led the two youngest into the closet and locked them in while she murdered the old est hoy. The pistol with which he was shot was a target practice pistol with a barrel eleven inches long. It lay beside him and the bullet lay on tiie Hour. It had passed through his head. The maniac mother then pro ceeded to the closet, and with the heavy 32-calibre revolver, with which she afterwards blew out her own brains, hhot the other two children. Dr. Amidon cut the strings that bound the children's hands and laid tht.m OI, tllfc beU The ,ice anJ coroner were notified at once. Noth ing was found in the room to ex plain the motive of the terrible crime. The maniac had held the weapon close to her victim's heads for the handkerchiefs on their faces had been burned. The face of the little girl wore a look of innocent surprise that cut more deeply than any other feature of the dreadful deed. On the table lay a box of cartridges and a third pistol. Dr. Seguin, when he returned about 7 o'clock, was taken to his of fice and physicians summoned. He acted as though his faculties were gone. He caught sight of a picture of the children on the wall and broke into a horrible, wailing cry that wrung the hearts of the listeners. Physicians fear he will lose his rea son. None of the servants heard any noise. Sudden insanity is the only motive known for the deed. Mrs. Seguin was neatly dressed. The children were lovely little things and all the family she had. The room in which the tragedy took place is on the fifth floor, and is scarcely ever used bv the family. Sore Distress. DtBLiN, November C Great dis tress exists in County Clare, owing to the failure of the potato crop, the epidemic among pigs, and the dear prices demanded for all articles of food, which were caused by taxes be ing levied on the farmers bv the Crimes act, and which has proved a ,,,,-a.jr uuruen. i ne country presents a most melancholy and un inviting appearonce.

Frey man's gar- a Baltimore dispatch siys: At' den, one of the finest in Maucb)Hf p.ift one o'clock Saturday Chunk, is typical ot the Switzerland of America." It requires a good deal of engineering skill to lay out a garden on a hill over 200 feet high and so steep that one could climb it only when armed rith an alpen stock, and even then only by firmly inserting the toe nails in the crevic es of the red rock that formed the precipitous bluff, and Mr. Freyman has accomplished lhe difficult task. By a liberal outlay of money and hhnr lie h.ii built a warden contain- in unit rlv an acre of ground, and! separated into fifteen stories by walls built across its entire breadth. Tne ascent of the stories is by means of a long flight of steps, several hun dred in number, and from a rustic arlior somewhere uu in the tenth or eleventh stories' a spleudid view of the borough is had. From this point the visitor, if the climb has left him any vitality, can see the Mansion House, the Packer block, the Methodist, Piesbyterian and Episcopalian churches, the county jail and all the principal buildings and residences of Mauch Chunk. But then, as it is impossible to strike a spot in Mauch Chunk that does not afford a fine view, this garden is only oue of many. Ita other attract ive features are the contents of the different stories. Starting at the bottom the first and second stories are given up to hot houses and fig trees, and each succeeding one is full of crapes, peaches, apples, pears and more substantial vegetables, like potatoes, sweet potatoes, cab bages and beans. Against the red walls the green leaves shadow the purple and white clusters of rare grapes, and golden quinces and bloody peaches of huge size grow amid the foliage of the laden trees, tickling the visitor's palate through his eves. Klhher Captured. Cumberland, November 3. Wes ley Fisher, the negro who outraged Mrs. George Wolf, three miles from this city, ou Sunday last, was cap tured this morning by C. H.

After tracking him somedis tance they chanced to see him try ing to hide behind a rail fence. They called on him to surrender, but he began to run. They fired a shotgun and a pistol at him and hit him four times. He was shot in the el bow, head and foot. This brought him down. They hound him hand and foot and placed him in Mr. Brent's wagon and drove through tire streets of this city to the jail. There they left him in the hands of the sheriff. His wounds are not serious. He denies having outraged Mrs. Wolf, and says that he was with friends all day on Sunday gath ering chestnuts. There is no doubt, however, that he is the scoundrel. When the news of his capture was known in Cumberland to-day there were sjme threats of lynching, but the Cumberland jail is strong, and the sheriff is a determined man, and he does not propose to allow the prisoner to be taken from him. Good for l-'ive Toiih. A fine black Newfoundland, call ed Nero, was the subject of a suit tried before Judge Fell yesterday brought by Regina Hyman against Charles B. Dickman. captain of the fruit steamer D. J. Foley, of the Warner fc Merritt line. The dog originally belonged to a Mr Crea ger, from whom he was stolen. Mrs. Hyman purchased him from the thief, and his worth and beautv soon attracted a second thief who sold him to Captain Dickman. On board of the captain's boat he had a novel experience, his tail having been caught in theshafting of a five-horse power dummy engine, around which it became wound until there was no more left to wind. Then the engine stopped, it being thereby demonstra ted that the tensile strength of the dog's tail exceeded five-horse power. At this interesting stage of the ad venture Nero's cries attracted the at tention of those on board, and lhe power was turned off from the en gine, lhe dog was reieaseu appar ently uninjured, but the friends no ticed that it was several months he- fore the tail wagged with its wonted freedom. On the trial it appeared that Mrs. Hay man having herself purchased from a thief had no bet ter Utlethan the aetemlant, and the latter accordingly secured a verdict, Philadelphia l"rem. A Convict Confeswa a Murder. Columbl's, O., November 5. Levi Kelp, the convict who tried to es cape Irom the penitentiary last week, has addressed a letter to the prosecuting attorney of Seneca county, in which he confesses the murder of Noah Apps, an insane in mate of the Seneca county infirmary. Kelp was sentenced for fifteen years from Seneca county for assault with intent to kill. Since he made his desperate attempt to escape and failed he has grown despondent and seeks to avoid the eleven vear.s of his unserved sentence by standing trial for the murder he confesses having committed. He conoludes his letter by saying: "I might have left both State and country if my attempt at escape had proved successful, but fate decided against me, and I must submii to fate."

Upon hastening thither he found the python, the largest 6nake in captivi ty seventeen feet in deadly com bat with an anaconda, twelve feet long. How lung they had been fighting the watchman did not know, but he says that from the time his attention was attracted by the noise up stairs until half past seven, his hour for going off duty, they kept up a continuous warfare. When one would miss his aim and strike the side of the cage the blow could be distinctly heard on the ground or auditorium floor. The python, after numberless bouts with hi opponent, seems to have gather ed nil his strength for the final at tack, which was made. The ana conda was ready, and placing them selves in an almost upright position, they made for each other in fearful rage. After having carried on their deadly combat for fully six hours the python made a last desperate lunge and succeeded in getting the anaconda's head in its mouth to the depth of at least three feet, and holding it in this position for some time at last commenced to coil itself around the anaconda until it actu ally ground and mashed the life out of it. The watchman says he never wants to witness another such bat tle. He had no key to the case, and even if he had it is doubtful if he would have bad the temerity to undertake to separate the reptiles. In a Whirlwiad at Sea. The British brig Leader, Captain Thomas Date, arrived at Belt's wharf yesterday with 4,867 bags of coffee, forty-three days from Ri Janeiro to the Capes.

Gporve Brimmer, a v'ouna niau. twenty-one! 1 - . . ! years of age, was this evening cou victed of setting fire to the barn Samuel Ran ok on the outskirts of j this city in August last. Brimmer,! familiarly known as "Tid " among! IllB Companions, W.W hid uan.ig young leader of a hard gang, sus pected of being implicated in the incendiarism that for a loifg time terrorized the city. He was caught almost in the very act of firing the R.mck tarii,and the evidence against him was overwhelming. At the time ot Brimmer's arret and the Ranck fire the pwrhouse barn was in a blaze, and it is believed he had a hand in setting it on fire. He was indicted for this offense and the bill was taken up immediately upon his conviction of the former crime. It is believed the result of the trials will have a salutary effect in check ing the operation of the organized band of fire-bugs, whote bold crimes have been the means of increasing the insurance ratts in the city and causing some companies to retuse further risks upon property here. Lancaster, Pa., November 4. This morniug Brimmer pleaded guilty to the latter charge, that of setting fire to the poorhouse barn. He al-io made a confession in rela tion to the numerous incendiary fires in this city during the past year, implicating as the incendiaries John Drachbar, Lewis Reidenbach, George Bear, John Daily. Harry Snyder, John Wertz. Christian Swartz and Charles Miller. Of those implicated Swartz, Daily, Sny der, Wertz, Bear and Miller have been arrested, and officers are now on the track of the others. Bear, one of the arrested men, is an em ploye of the. fire department The developments reveal a regularly or ganized band for the purpose of fir ing buildings. There are two addi tional charges against Brimmer, which, however, will be held for the present in abeyance. Ex-Senator Henderson on His Muscle. St. Lot is, November 3.

At a teachers' meeting of this State the other day Superintendent Lucky, of the Pittsburgh public schools, opposed the use of the spelling hook. When a word stood by itself it was dead, he said ; when put into a sen tence it had life; and a spelling book generally did more harm than good. He ridiculed the popular method of teaching elocution, nnd declared that pupils could deliver the speeches of Webster, Calhoun and Clay finely; but when asked to read a newspaper could not do so intelligently. He advocated the readir.g ot newspapers in schools, and stated that in the Pittsburgh public schools the geography was only a book of reference, the daily papers being the means by which geography was taught. Scholars thus associated places and events readilv and were not likely to forget ultier. Fatally Shot. v.. .., ?
