The Eastern War news is so con
flicting that it is impossible to tell the
actual situation of affairs. It seems
; probable by comparison of the reports
from each side that the Turks are so far,
having the best of the Russians. The
losses in both armies are fearful, and
the end of the war seems to be no near
er than when the fight began.
The rain of Thursday last did great
damage in many parts of the country.
No less than six railroad accidents are
reported caused by the washing out of
the tracks and quite a number were
killed and wounded. The streams every
where made a very sudden rise, causing
much damage to mills, bridgs, &c. We
have not as yet heard of any accidents
or serious loss of property having occur

Bank Suspension In Allegheny.
Pittsburgh, October 3. The follow
ing notice is posted on the doors of the
Allegheny savings bank : " The direc
tors of the Allegheny savings . bank
being unable to convert its asserts into
' money immediately have deemed it
V proper to suspend payment. In addition
to the assets of the bank the stockholders
'. are individually liable, and the directors
hope to pay all the depositors."
About this time last year a run was
made on the bank, but the officers met
all demands so promptly that the run
ceased. It is ascertained that at -the
time of the run last year the deposits
aggregated $1,322,000, but since ihat
time they have been steadily reduced
and do n'fctnow exceetl$591,000,of which
amount about $100,000 belong to the
directors and stockholders. In addition
to this the bank owes secured debts to
other banks and money borrowed on
mortgages to the amount of $128,000.
The assets, consisting largely of real
estate, will aggregate $748,000.
An Ohio Tragedy.
A tragedy enacted at Zanesvllle, Ohio,
on Tuesday of last week, creates intense
excitement in that place. Abner James
was an undertaker in Zanesville, his of
fice being on Ninth street. He and his
wife did not live pleasantly together, al
though they had been married but four
teenmonths. Recently business troubles
have added to the unhappiness of the
couple and separation was looked for.
On Wednesday their disagreement reach
ed a climax and Mrs. Jaaies left home,
vowing she would never live with James
aain. She started for the residence of
her mother, Mrs. Leacock, a widow,
about eight miles from the city, and was
followed by her husband. They left the
city together in the same train on the C.
and M. V. R. R. They got off at Del
oarbe and started to walk together to
Mrs. Leacock's. When last seen alive,
they were walking together, and appar
ently In an excited condition. They were
walking up the lane leading from the
public road toward the house, but they
never reached there. This morning
about eight o'clock the bodies' of both
were found lying iu a fence corner,about
300 yards from the house. The husband
had a bullet hole in his breast, and the
wife one in the temple, and another in
the region of the heart. They were
tightly locked in each other's arms, and
in the left hand of the wife, held as in a
vise, was a revolver, with which It is
supposed the dreadful deed was done.1
How they came to their death 1b, in a
measure, a mystery, as no one saw the
fearful tragedy enacted. The supposition
is, however, that the wife first shot the
husband, and then put the two bullets
Into her own body before death came.
There was no Indication of any strug
gle, and it is supposed that it was a plan
mutually agreed upon to put a final qui
etus upon all their earthly sorrows. ..
A Sympathizing Judge.
When MIsa Amelia Donnerschley
claimed two hundred dollars from faith
less Augustus Berner for breach of prom
ise, the gentleman Justified his conduct
on the plea that after living under the
same roof with the young lady and her
mamma for eight months, he found it bo
impossible to live comfortably with the
one, that he was compelled to cry off
with the other. ' The judge Inquired if
the mother proposed living with her
daughter after marriage, and receiving
an affirmative answer, asked the defend
ant whether he would rather live with
his mother-in-law or pay $200.
"ray $200," was the prompt reply.
Baid the Judge: "Young man let
me shake hands with you. There was a
time in my life when I was in the same
situation as you are in now. Had I pos
sessed your firmness, I should have been
spared t wen ty-flve years of trouble. I
had the alternative of marrying or pay
ing $125. Being poor, I married, and
for twenty-flve years have I regretted it.
I am happy to meet with a man of your
Btamp. The plaintiff must pay $10 and
costs for having thought of putting a
gentleman under the dominion of a
mother-in-law."
A Mother and Child Terribly Stung.
The Bedalla (Mo.) Democrat tells the
following: Mrs. Henry Smith living
eight miles southwest from this city,
went into the yard, accompanied by her
little daughter, a child 7 years of age, to
get some honey. The box containing
the hive is an ordinary patent arrange
ment, with drawers. In Bllpplng one of
them out Mrs. Smith was Btung by a
bee. The shock and pain caused her to
Jerk her hand back quickly, and her
elbow, striking another box knocked it
over, causing it to fall to the ground and
burst open.
In an Instant she and the child were
literally covered withaswarm of Insects,
which stung them on the face, neck
and arms, and indeed nearly all over the
body. Frightened and crazed with pain
they started to run, but they were blind
ed by the bees, and it was ten minutes
before they succeeded to get Into the
house and free from the swarm. In less
than an hour their faces were swollen
out of all recognition, and Mrs. Smith
had become insensible from her Injuries.
K3TOn Thursday morning of last
week, as a special train of seventeen cars
was running on the Peach Bottom R.
R., about eighteen miles below York,
Pa., the engine left the track, and after
running some twenty feet over the ties,
fell down an embankment ten feet high.
The train contained the members of five
Sunday schools, numbering probably 700
persons in all. Two boys who were rid
ing on the platform were crushed to
death, and four others severely hurt.
The affair created great consternation
among the large number who so nar
rowly escaped with their lives.
OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C, Oct. 8rd, 1877.
October, gay October, is here with its
rich, sweet days the balmieBt days in all
tbe year for Washingtonianu. Tbe winter
here, although quite mild is not really com
fortable. It is neither warm enough nor
cold enough. Spring does not fairly ar
rive before it gets too warm for comfort
and summer here is a season wherein we
only hope and strive not to die from the
excessive warmth. But the Autumn, when
the first month is over and Ootober has
come, it is the mouth of all others for us.
The foliage partly turns but does not with
er and fall not till next month the skies
are clear and the air is golden.
" There is a beautiful spirit breathing now
Its mellow richness on tbe clustered trees,
And, from a beaker full of richest dyes,
Pouring new glory on the Autumn woods,
And dipping In warm light the pillared
clouds."
Yesterday a week ago, the Capital was
in an uproar over the burning Patent Office.
It was a fearful time and great damage was
done. Nearly 80,000 models were burned,
and the building shockingly injured. The
latter, however, can and will be renewed
and placed in a much better condition than
before. There is talk of putting on an ad
ditional story and of course it will be fire
proof, so we may safely say that the Patent
Office has been through its last scourging
by fire. Once before, in 1830, it was de
stroyed by the same insatiable ele
ment, but now its day is over. It cannot
burn again. But other of the Government
buildings can, and will undoubtedly before
they are placed in a non-combustiblo con
dition, although tbe recent dUaater has
caused a general looking into things. Nei
ther the Capitol, Post Office, tVar Depart
ment, nor Navy Department are wholly
fire-proof and all of these buildings are lit
erally crammed full of papers and other
combustible material. The Cabinet bat
dismissed the matter somewhat during the
past week and the subject will be presented
for the consideration of Congress during
the coming cession. The cabinet, however
has bad very littlo time sinoe President
Ilayea' return, to consider anything apart
from the Indians. They have been here a
week and have had almost daily interviews
with the "Great Father" which includes
the Cabinet and several other gentlemen.
I was present at their first conference or
" pow-wow," as newspaper folks persist in
terming it. Tbe poor savages looked like
so many images. They evidently consid
ered the occasion as one of exceptional im
portance and had dressed themselves ac
cordingly and aftor the pure Indian idea of
style. Not one but wore his blanket and
eagle feathers, and all but Spatted Tail
and Bed Cloud were more or less painted.
The wildest among them the Apaches
who were never bofore within the bounds
of civilization, were decked out the most
fancifully. Their head-dresses were of
eagle feathers and reached around their
heads and down to their heels. Thoy ap
pear to want many things that are Impossi
ble for them to have, and there is some dis
satisfaction among them that tboir requests
are not complied with, Xne chief express
ed a wish for a box of money. One want
ed to be made rich and one wanted a house
to live in like the President's. However,
as a general thing, the delegation are pleas
ed with civilized ways, and say they want
to live in'accordance with them. And tho
President's policy concerning them, as ho
Is allowing it gradually to appear, is to
force them to give up their past manner of
living, give up hunting and roaming about
the country, aud have land in one place
and remain permanently upon it, and know
no other home. If they will not work and
earn their liviug, then they must suffer
the consequeuceB.
The extra session is nearly upon us " in
all its fury" and the Capital is girding
itself up for the battle The President
will not send in his annual message, but
will transmit the reasons why the extra
session was called and submit the estimates
of the War Department of the amount
neoessary for tbe army appropriation.
Naval matters will also be considered and
probably some papers from the Secretary
of the Interior and the correspondence
with State authorities at tbe time of the
railroad strikes, with other minor mattors
of some interest.
Tbe Indians take a pleasure exoursion to
Mt. Vernon to-day. Adams.
