V' 'f'r Washington, Qct 11 (Commissioner Williamson, of the General land Office, in his annual report, now nearly completed, devotes considerable space to the subject of reorganizing axtd increasing tha present force of the General Land OtSca. After 'quoting from the seports of several sf bis predecessors in trace, aa well as the Land Commission appointed under the act of March, 1679, all of whom have at jdifferent times within the last nine years urged upqn -Congress the necessity ot reorganising and increasing the force of the office, the Commissioner says: "It will be readily seen that the General Land Office, considering the character and amount of work It has to perform, has the provision the matter of salaries, and eonseauentlv the poorest organisation." i The Conunisiiioner concludes that the adjustment of many of the land SMses, inolving large values, requires consideration by a Uaas of men having intimate knowledge of the large body of land laws and the many rulings aud decisions of courts. Ac, of legal education and mature -judgment Whose services cannot be procured for the salaries -allowed at present. lie therefore reoommends a considerable Increase. both la the force for tha efflce and la tbe salaries to be paid to some of his aKfitanta.

WHY CHARLES A. 6TBATTOX IB SERVIGi A XIFE TERM IK ACBCRN PRISON. Oct 1. In the Spring of 1879, Charles A. Strstton, a young man having re spectable connections in Chautauqua Coanty, N.

had a quarrel with a nejo near New-Orleans, and during an altercation with him shot him. Stratton left the State, and went to Chautauqua County in April of tha same year, and took up his residence with his uncle, Charles L. Stratton, a farmer living near the village of Kennedy. Living in the family was a young woman named Lottie Wheeler. Mls Wheeler was a sister of Mrs.

Emily Crosby, who was found murdered In her bonse near Ellicotville, Cattaraugus county, about a year ago; nnd whose nuHOaadv was arrested on suspicion or being tee murderer, but was acquitted last Spring. Charles A. Stratton fell in love with Lottie heeler; In November last, a young man known as Frank Morse, went to work as a farm hand for farmer Stratton. Morse ricrht name was Elmer Frank He was 19 yean old. When he was only a Child his father was murdered near Niagara Falls, and be w-as left an orphan, and was taken into the Orphan Asyum at Buffalo, i From that institution he was adopted the family of Harvey Morse, who lived near the village of Kennedy.

Frank Morse was a powerful young man, but was good-natured and of steady habits. He was noted a great tfase. When lie went to work for Stratton, Lottie Wheeler and Charles A. Stratton were engaged to be married. To tease the latter, who was of a very Jealous disposition, young Morse became very at tentive to tne gin.

btratton and Miss Wheeler were married on Christmas Day. Stratton did not attempt to con ceal uie tact tnat ne was extremely Jealous or rrana' jaorse. Dtraiion ana ins uncie naa tome misunderstanding, and soon after tbe marriage tbe young couple went to the! village to live. Neither of them visited the homestead until the 15th of Feb-ruarv last, when Strattan went there and Staid all night. I The family wanted Lottie to make them a vbiit, and Stratton askedi bis uncle to let htm take the team and bring her to the farm.

The uncle replied that Frank Morse Was going toi the village with tbe team, and lie would tell him to stop and drive Lottie over, thus raving one trip. lie told Frank to get Mrs. Stratton, and the young man did so and drove with her to the farm. This so en-raffed tbe husband that ha refused to speak io his wife. Frank Morse began popping corn, and young Stratton went out doors, and creeping up to a window, peered in to watch the knmates of the room.

Morse gave Mrs. Stratton some corn and sut down in I a chair near her. rushed into the boose, and, calling Norse a vile name, announced his determination of fichting him. The men grappled, and a bloody encounter ensued, The elder Stratton was not at home. After a few minutes' struggles young Strstton took his knife from his pocket and stabbed Monte to- tbe heart.

The wounded man staggered into a Bummer kttcheu and fell dead, ills murderer was arrested and lodged in Jail in Mayville. lie was brought up for trial before Judge Daniels on Monday last, and entered a plea of self-defense. On Wednesday he was convicted of murder in the second degree, and seuiencea to Auuum prison lor uie. I i TELL IX A TZHSLBLJS STOST, Chicago, Oct 1.

In the case of the State against Elisha Ltnscott and Elizabeth Jack, alias Elizabeth Jackson, of Appleton. indicted for the murder of an illegitimate infant of which they were the parents, which has been on trial for sev eral days, the jury failed to agree, and were discharged, afterfibelog out nine hours. The Jury stood seven for ncqnlttal and fire for manslaughter.

Manchester, N. Oct 1. During a in the street last night between John Blanchard and Edward Powers, the latter threw a piece of a bottle at the former, severing Blancfiard's Jugular vein, causing death in a few minutes. The assailant is 18 years of age, and his victim was 23. Powers is under arrest and admits throwing the missile.

A coroners Jury has beenln session this afternoon. and will continue through to-morrow. Only 'two witnesses were examined The theory seems to be that Powers struck Blanchard with the bottle instead of having thrown it but in either case it must have been wielded or thrown with great force to have produced the terrible rash which severed the Jugular vein and out the bone of the chin. Pow- seems nanny to realize nis situation. Chicago, Oct 1.

William 11. Falrchild. who has as occasion served borne tbe aliases of Burton, Clarke, Howell, and and who has served terms for various crimes in the Michigan and Ohio penitentiaries, was arrested here to-day for the murder of an old man named Richard French, whom Falrchild and his wife had enticed to Kansas under promise of taking care of him, and had theu murdered in cold blood.

Mostfelier. Vt. Oct. 1. There is much excite ment here over a supposed murder, which came to light this afternoon by the finding of tbe body of Joseph Dumas, of Northficld, in the river.

There are wounds on the head Indicating foul play. Dumas- left his home, in North- field, last Monday to bring a man and his wife, named Stone, to Montpelier. which be did. putting up his team at the I'nion House. He was last seen on Monday evening quite drunk.

As he did not return home some auxlety was felt bv his friends, and search here showed that he had not been seen since Monday, bis earn remaining at the hotel. Ptone and his sife were arrested at Northfleld last night on suspicion of having killed Dumas. A lad named Carroll saw the- body in the river and raised an alarm. When the body was taken from the water there- was very little money on it An autopsy showed that the wounda on the head were sufficient to kill, and the doctors decided that Dumas was dead before belnc placed in the water. This gives grounds for the theory of murder.

The place where the body was found was at a high bank wall, and the water waa only about lb Inches deep. It Is supposed Dumas was killed in a row, and thrown over the bank. Dumas was GO years old, and haves a wife and seven children. Cincinnati, Oct. A dispatch to the Gazett from New-AIbanv.

YACHTING ON THE SHREWSBURY. THE MAMIE VICTORIOUS OVER THE MADGELSA CI A BIX MILE RACE. Loire Branch, Oct 1.

The yachting season at Long Branch was closed to-day with a race on the South Shrewsbury Elver, for a purse of $123. The entries were the Mamie, owned by Albert Smith, of Oceanic, and sailed by Capt Thomas Kiddle, and the Madgelsa, owned by Warren Le- ana, or me uoean Hotel, and saued by capt Pierre Troutman.

After a lively trip down the beach aud return, the Mamie passed the home stake-boat on tbe first turn at 8:13:00 and the Madgelsa at 8:21:00. As the boats went over the rourse for the second time the shore was lined by Summer residents in their carriages watching the Ou tbe finish tbe judges took the official time as Mamie, Madgelsa, 5:02:00. -inis, witn tu seconds time allowance to the latter, made tbe Mamie winner by a little over mlnntea.

JrRISDICTIOX or THE "HIGH state couet" BET ASIDE LODGE FLRJITt'EE.

In the trial of an action in the Eighth District Court, yajstcrdsy, before Judge Oedney, the outer world had a fair opportunity to- catch a few glimpses of the hidden mysteries of the Independent Order of Foresters. The suit was brought by John J. Garbutt well known as a politician la the Twentieth Ward, who claims sow to be the da facto Chief Banger of Court Manhattan. No. 87, O.

and Is against Eugene Caumont EJ Ferdi nand Desaris. and John Kohle, to recover posses-, slon of certain property belonging to the: lodge, which he alleges to have been illegally taken by the defendants. Tbe court-room was throntred yesterday with Foresters of hitfh and low degree, from the Deputy High. Chief Kanrer through Woodward and Senior and Junior Beadles dewn to the simple member in good standing. The ease was ably presented by counsel, and was contested at every EteD with the bitterness rjerultar tA henev.

olent societies engaged hi heated controversy. The first witness was the plaintiff, and. as It was admitted by the defendants that they had seized the property, his examination was directed simply to the question of its value. Twenty-five ordinary regalia, which consisted of a sash of colored merino lined with paper muslin, had cost 60 cents each. The more costly insignia of the officers, of whom there were nine, ranired rrom A In value for tbe golden paraphernalia of the Chief Ranger, and $8 60 for the more sober, though still splendid, equipments of the Chaplain, to about $1 for tne official apparel of the Beadles and the Woodwards.

Tbe Bible, the pages of which are kissed by novi-, Mates, bad cost $14, while the tanned deerskin upon which it rested at tbe aitar was valued at $10. The axes, usually of wood or tin, were in this lodge of sotnbre-colored cast-iron, with gilt edges and helves of polished walnut and i were worth 87 each; and the horns, which it appeared were used not for the purpose of winding a forester's i-all, but aa some sort of bead-dress, were estimated to be worth $5 each. The gavels were of uncertain value, tbe one used by the Chief Banger being given to flying off at a tangent when energetically used, thus keep ing toe eyes of tne prothren closely fixed upon tne President. The poor-box (which it was subsequently shown contained 62 cents at the time of the seizure) was an oid cigar-bo a neatly covered with paper, with a hole cut in the bottom with a jack-knife. The evidence was very vague as to the value of the staves Used for the admonishment of disorderly members, and of the two tail 'polished poles wbicb supported on grand parades the banner of the society.

Tlie most curious of tbe articles taiceu, nowever, was a mysterious implement described tn the bill of parthcalars as ''two planks with slides and hooks." To get at its value, a somewhat minuta account of what it really was became necessary, and some delay occurred from tbe gingerly way in which the counsel, who had been an entnusiastio rorqster, conauctea tnis part or tue examination. The matter was at last settled to the satisfaction of everybody by a query from judge Gedney; Probably it was a 'rugged pathr Yes, our Honor. eagerly Interposed counsel; and as see vou have been there vourself. we need save no further testimony on that branch of the action." Tho real point of the case was speedily developed by the defense. It appeared that just before the last erection charges of a very serious nature had oeen preferred by 14 members in good standing a I it be re-elected.

One of the this com plaining brethren-was District Deputy High Banger Abraham G. Levy, who refused point blank to install the officers until tbe charges had been acted upon by tne High Mate court, subsequently, a commission was appointed by that tribunal to take testimony, and tt proceeded to do so, bat without the. usual form of serving notice upon the other side. In abort-though it heard only one side of the dispute, it gave judgment and the judgment was affirmed by the High State Court and sentence of suspension was passed. Under that sentence the defendants in the present suit forcibly took possession of as much of the lodge property as they could find, aud It was claimed now in their betiair tbat they acted properly, and tasv.

the sentence was binding, even though the trial had not beep fairly conducted, because tbe constitutional way to set It aside was by an appeal to the supreme titan court or tne world, whlan had not bf en adopted. Reduced to a nutshell, tbe question to be decided, therefore, was whether Judge Gedney bad Jurisdiction to sit as a court of last resort from the decision ot the High State Court of Foresters. In a case in the sixteenth New-York State Reports, where a similar point was raised by the Odd-fellows, It had been expressly held that these extra-judicial trials by benevolent societies, where tbe title to property was involved, were null and void, and Judge Gedney accordingly decided in favor of the plaintiff, fixing tbe value of the prop erty taken at $73 67. The dissatisfied members, acting with the concurrence of the High State Court, have, however, already organized under the oid name of Court Manhattan, no. 87.

There is no doubt that tbe epizooty jamoog the horses is rapidly spreading from stable to stable in this City and its environs, although thus far few valuable horses have been attacked, and the type ol the disease has been extremely mild. The stables of the Third-A venue Railroad contain about 1,600 horses, of which It is estimated that not far from two-thirds are mofe or less affected.

Very few, present the symptoms In a severe: form not mora, it is stated, than one in thirty; but the officers of tbe company view ibe situation with considerable anxiety. The disease is not one that runs a definite ami prescribed course, subsiding after a certain climax; but it maintains its bold on the animal until unseated either by vital reaction or by decisive medical treatment An officer of the 'Third- Avenue Road, who Is familiar with the epidemic of 1873, Intimated last evening that he had no confluence in: tbe present delusive mildness, of the disease, lie believes the conflict has only just begun, and that before It is over half the horses in the City-will be in the hospital Tbe foroa and energy of the epidemio have not in his opinion, become fully developed as yet, and as the weattier Is favorable to tbe fullest activity of the disease be inclines to' the view that stringent measures should be immediately taken to stamp it out The City railroads and stages employ in all about 14,600 horses, and the cans and hacks about 4.000. Of these nearly 30,000 horses, the estimate of veterinary practitioners and of the officers of stage and railroad companies Is that between 8.0X and .000 are now the incipient or the advanced stages of epidemic influenza. Bo long as the symptoms remain as mild as now, the companies will not be serious! embarrassed: but at anv moment tbe disease may assume the severe form which it presented in 1873, and great inconvenience to the publio may thus result from the Interruption of travel. No fatal cases have vet occurred.

About SMI fresh cases were reported yesterday. 1 TESTIMONY IN THE TUNNEL CASE. YIEW3 iOF ENGINEER BBC8H LNEXPERI- SKCED' MEN.
