London, Deo. 13. Cldvernment dla patches recoivod from Calcutta report hiiril fighting oa tho Pamir frontier be tween Urltlsk Indian troops and tribes men claiming to be under Russian pro tection, In which Colonel Durand, Brit ish Military Agent .at GUglt, Captain Aylmor and Lieutenant Badcock were severely wounded, Lteutonant Gorton and several other officers slightly woundod, and seven Sepoys killed and tweuty-slx wounded. The Incidents leading up to this ap peal to urius are as follows; At Gilglt Is a British agency, garrisoned by some Knshmlrees and Indian Qhoorkas and n battery of artillery. The trlbesmon of lluu.a and Nagar, two towns oa tho Htver Indus, have for some time' been threatening the Cbalt fort, held by a detachment o' Knsliinlroo. This causod Col. Durand to make an advance upon the Chnlt fort for' the purpose of re-enforcing the garrison. This ndvauce of lirltlsh troop was made early In tho present mjntii, for, on Nov. 211 Col. Durand wired tho Com-mauiler-ln- Chief that he should move upon tho enemy on D10. 2 unless he was previously attacked by the trlbesmon, who were reported to be assembling la large numbers and to have beea insti gated iu their notion by tho Russians. Colonel Durand also telegraphed the same day that ho feared that a, serious conflict was Inevitable, although he had done everything possible to prevent It. On arriving in tho violnlty of Fort Chalt It is presumed that Colonel Durand and tho attacking forces found the enemy In occupation, for the dispatches fail to refer to what had be come of tbeKashmirce garrison, known to have been there. Colonel Durand decided to carry the fort by storm, j Captain Aylmer most gallantly led the storming party, currying a gun cotton petard, aud, In the face of a hot Ore of musketry, dashed up to the iron bound gate, allixed the petard to It, lighted the fuse and retired. The next moment Captain Aylmer saw that the potard had blown the gate of the fort to ptoces. Captain Aylmer and Lieutenants Boisragou and Uadoock, followed by a haudf ul of Sepoys, then made a dash into tho fort and, after some desperate lighting, ciipturoil a field gun which had been used effectively against the attacking party. The Brit ish officers and Sepoys also captured ulne prisoners, the remainder of tho rebel tribesmen fleolng, leaving a num ber of dead inside and outside the fort. Theso alarming reports caused con siderable excitement and comment when they became known at the mili tary and naval clubs throughout the city. Old and experienced Indian officers regard the outbreak of hostili ties botwoen England and Russia as a very grave affair uud the most alarming news recoivod from India slace the In dian mutiny. The younger officers are elated at tho chance of seeing active service, and are loud in their expression of hope that the long expected war with Russia is actually on tho tapis. A cabinet council hns been summoued, the purpose, being, it is understood, to discuss the Eastern situation as modi fied by the battle. AU'fied Shortage In Accounts. Boston, Doc 12.

L. Nor- Boston, Dec 12. Henry cross ot bomervllle, who condurted a note brokerage In this city, has been missing since the middle ot last week. Now York detecttves identify him as the mysterious personage who threw a bomb in Russell Sage's office in New York last Friday with such deadly of- feet. The officers havo In their posses sion a trousers' button nnd portion of tho trousers worn by the bomb thrower, ns well as a piece of his coat and por tions ot his underclothing. These articlos wero takon to the Nor- cross residence In Bomervllle in the af ternoon, where the underclothing was positively identified by Mrs. Norcross as belonging to her husband. Ibo trousers of tho dead dynamiter were stamped "Brooks, tnilor, Boston." Mr. Brooks was visited by the officers anil shown the fragments of cloth. After a careful examination ho stated positively that ho had made for Heury L. Norcross a coot ot tho cloth presented and also n pair of trousers of the samo cloth as tho other p.eco furnished by the dotcctlvos. The button lie also identified as one pe culiar tn his establishment. There was a terrible sceuu at the home ot the young broker when tho fact of his terrible crime and death was made plain to tho father nnd mother, who have been anxiously awaiting his re turn from n supposed business trip. Mis. Norcross was prostrated by tho shock and her husband acted ns though stunned by the blow. After ho hnd ud - mltted the strong resemblance which the fragments bore to his son's clothing, and wheu ho hud compared a photo graph ot his son with the photograph of tho dead man's head thero seemed to be no further room for doubt.

He had not returned, and his contin ued absence bad already begun to cause much anxiety when the news of his supposed connection with the bomb throwing case was brought to the father's notice. He had begun to fear that his son had been killed by tho railway accident on the New York cc bow hugland Hall road, which occurred on the same day as the New York trngedy. Heury L. Norcross, tho dynamiter was about 23 or 2P years old. He grad uated from the bonierviile high school about five years ugo, since which time he has conducted a noto brokerage business at No. 12 Pearl street, this city. There is no doubt but that Nor cross has been missing since tho day before the attempt ou the life ot Russell Sage, ami this, tnken in connection with the identification of the fragments of clothing and underclothing, would Indicate that Norcross was the man who startled the world with his insane scheme ot forcing a vast sum of money from Russell bage.
