On last week an Inetlectuai attempt was made to burn down lawyer Brooks's grocery store. On Tuesday night a colored woman entered the second coach at that point, and was soon followed by a white man, who cursed her and called her Vine. She told him her name was not Vine but Tilda Whitecotton. The man left the car, when she remarked that she had tears that he would do her In-inrv. as he seemed to have something against her sister, and had mistook her to be tno woman.

The prisoners are brothers. ni-Pil riwiwptivelv about twenty-five an twenty-three years. Home three or four vears ago, a sister to these boys lived with au uncle iu Marshall county, Tennessee, leing left orphans lu their childhood. The sister grew up to womanhood, and became quite pretty and accomplished. She had a lover, a very worthy young man, but against whom her uncle, who was a mau strong prejudices, the most unbouuded hatred existed.

The young people had tiled to gain his consent to their union, but he swora relentlessly against it. Finally the young people determined to marry anyway. The bridegroom came on horseback, and a clan-destiny elopement was effected; but thevhad hardly ridden out of fcight before the unreeling uncle having ascertained the fact, had his nephews to arm themselves and mount, and pursue in hot haste, the fugitives. They overtook them on the road and shot him from hlsiiCtse; then turning, they fled and left the sisieT with the man of her choice, mortally wounu? At this stage of affairs a Justice of the Deace r0 t'Pi and the young man having procureu a license prior to his visit to the house of his beloved, at her request the marriage was consummated, and the received at the same time the orange blosom of the bride and the weeds and distress of the widow, for with the same breath that he vowed to love and cherish histsplrit took its flight to the unseen shores.

A reporter of the who boarded the Juniata immediately after ner arrival, ootaineu the full particulars from a variety of sources concerning the treatment received by the prisoners at the hands of their Spanish captors. All these reports agree in one particular, namely: that the treatment received was uniformly harsh, and in some cases barbarous. A ract which has not generally been known by the statements of prisoners, now comes to light, which is that they were robbed by the crew of the Tornado, and nearly all who owned anything were robbed of money, jewelry, watches and other valuables. The prisoners were taken to thejaiL of Santiago soon after their arrival in port. Here they were crowded together like cattlo.

They were not consigned to seperate cells, Indeed, there was no opportunity for such confinement In the contracted quartets of Santiago Jail, but the entire party, nearly two hundred, were driven into a small room, hardly fifty feet long by fifteen feet wide; they were obliged tn live as best they could, though the nir. of murte. wa3 almost deadly, and there was little or no opportunity for exercise. These prisoners were supplied with provisions which, though sufficient as regards quantity, were poor in quality and hardly fitted to sustain life. These provisions consisted almost wholly of rice and water.

One night the prisoners were stealthily taken from jail and were taken with the greatest haste to a point seven miles below tne city in uie vicim-tv nf thp Marro: the road lay throueh a rnueh track of country and the journey was most wearisome, while some of the prisoners were so sick as to be almost unable to stand it. The sufferings of some of the lalarers were intense, and pity was in thp hrnasts of the Spaniards. At this fho coast thev were placed on board of the steamer Bazoin, which at nnm set sail for Havana. At Aiansea- nplla it was met bv the mail-steamer. comlmr in the opposite direction.

On hoard this steamer was General Burriel, who at once ordered the Bazoin to return to Santiago. She turned about very soon afterward, and then ran aground; and the passengers were transferred to another vessel. Here thev suffered horrors heretofore un known. Thev were crowded in the hold of the vessel, where scarcely a ray of sunlight could struggle In. The air was poisonous, the darkness was almost con tinuous, tne ioou waswreicneu in quality and insufficient in quantity, the water which they drank was what remained in the buckets after the dumb animals on board were satisfied.

These animals consisted mainly of horses and mules. Thev were kept on the deck above the Virginius's prisoners and were thus a constant source of annoyance to the helpless prisoners confined below. It Is said that in the midst of all this filth and suffering the prisoners were not allowed to wash while on board the Bazoin, for a period of ten days, and that their arms were pinioned behind them the larger portion of the voyage. They were occasionally beaten on the slightest provocation, and sometimes on no provocation at e11. The punishments, however, seem not to have been of a nature so serious as to produce any lasting effect'.

Commander Braine said to a Tribune reporter: "The feelhigat Santiago against Americans is exceedingly bitter, and Vice-Consul Smith is actually In danger of his life; he has several times been threatened with assassination and I think one of our men-of-war ought to be stationed there permanently, at least till the feeling subsides, as I hone it will. Vice-Consul Smith was abused shamefully in their daily papers, audit only by my personal intercession with the governor that they were stopped. The Juniata, when about one hundred and twenty miles from Cape encountered a terrific gale which drove her sixty miles out of hr course. Grave doubts as to the ability of the Ossipee to bring the Virginius to New York are expressed by the officers of the Juuiata in view of the exceedingly tempestuous weather of the last few' days. The latter vessel is lu poor condition to weather the rough gales which they encountered.

District-Attorney Bliss began this morning on otiininl invpstication of tho A lf- ginius passengers. He declines to make publirthe nature of the evidence sought to be obtained from the passengers. It is understood, however, that the principal point sought to be cleared up is the exact status of the Virginius, who are her owners, whether fche was to rlv the American flag, and how far the neutrality laws have been violated. All of these points will have a strong bearing ou the question as to 'whether the United States wiSS-omnlv with the demands of Spam From a conversation with the officers of the uuiata it seems that there is a con--vorfwl nlan among the prisoners to pro fees elUre ignorance as io me uamre ui the Virginia a' the time she was tn he transportation of forces for the Cubans.

An engine about to leave with a train this evening was fouud to be soaned.

The railroad? authorities are attempting to ruu all their lay-tralnsL and got more away to-oay man any day sines the strike commenced. FROM INDIANAPOLIS, IND, iJiDIANAPOLIS, December 29. The engineers' strike continues without much change. Rumors current of i general strike on all the roads but they cannot be traced to any reliable authority. Last night a party of' men entered the Jetlersonyille, Madison and Indianapolis railroad aud after threatening the watchman, broke the gauzes of all the engines in the houj and then left.

Two of the eU' ginea were repaired and ready for ser vice tins morning, a large crown gattered in the Pan-Handle yards today the shops were closed, and a guard armed with Spencer in the yarcis. Bush, who shot Engineer Vance night before last, waived axamination this morning, and was committed to jail in default of ten thousand dollars bail. There is but little change in railroad matters to-day. On the Columbus and Pittiiburg, Cinciunati and St. Louis rai road one train each way passed over.

The road sent out one freight train of twenty-iourcars and one passenger train each. The Indianapolis and Vincennes road has been more fortunate than eituer of tie others. Nearly all of their day trains are iunniug regular. The night trains on all the striking roads have been temporarily abandoned. At the request of General McCauley, in command of the mm a at Jjogansport, twenty policemen wero sent there by the governor to-night A rumor is current this morning of a general strike on all the roads, but it is not believed iu railroad circles.

The president of the machinists and blacksmiths' association arrived here to-night from Cleveland. It is fcupposed his visit is connected with the engineers' strike. He favors compromise and deprecates vioisnce. FROM CHICAGO, ILL. Chicago, December 29.

The members of the brotherhood of engineers in this city have passed a resolution that they are not disposed to submit to any reduction of the rate of wages they were ece i ving prior to December 1st, as that rate was low enough, although, it gave general satisfaction also tendering their sympathy, and promising their support to all -engineers now opposing, or who may hereafter oppose, any reduction of tueir wages, mese resolutions are published, signed by committees from the Illinois central, unicago and Altos, Bock Island, Chicago, Burlington and Quincy, Milwaukee and St. Paul and Michigan Central roads.
