SERYIA STILL FOR WAR FIGHTING FOR HAYES. Seventeenth district, saw two of the shoU fired and ran to see what was the matter. The crowd separated at his approach and ran in all directions. Craig, who was a little behind the rest, when he saw the policeman, started down the street on a run. The officer told him several times to stop or he would shoot, but as he did not, the officer shot at him, inflicting a severe wound, and Craig is now in the Pennsylvania Hospital in a critical condition.

James McCul lough was the only other one captured. One of the Doaues, it is said, insulted a sister of Craig's a few days ago, and Craig being drunk on Saturday night, it is believed, was induced by a party of roughs, enemies of the Doaues, to attack him. Neither of the Doaues is fatally injured. No lives were lost. She was reported a total wreck.

Some eight coasting schooners belonging here were also stranded and a number of lives lost.

Mr. Haddock, Consular agent at writes that the hurricane has done great damage in his district, nnd from Yunncoa to Fajardo there is not one estate or building but what has suffered. I have hopes," he says, that the southern parts of the island may not have experienced the hurricane with the' force that the northern parts have suffered, and trust that I may not have to report the loss of any more American vessels. The crews of the wrecked American vessels will be cared for and sent home as soon as possible." the three Presidential electors as well as two United States Senators.

THE LAST FIGIIT WON BY THE TURKS A Little Trick of the Servians That Did Not Work Frinee Milan Still Sighing for a Higher Title Increasing Anger of tbe British Lion. London, September 30, Right Hon. Robert Ltfvre publishes a letter in the Times this morning on the Eastern question He vehemently insists upon the necessity of calling Parliament together todetcrmine whether the present policy of the iistry is to be pur sued.

The Times, in a leading article, says: "The Czar is doubtless anxious to keep the con. test within its present limits, and he is believed to have given pacifio assurances to Emperor Francis Joseph iu the autograph letter which is exciting the curiosity of the Continent. But there is grave reason to fear that if hostilities are not stopped immediately the healing iu fluences of diplomacy will be bctied. A prominent St. Petersburg newspaper is allowed to say that Russia is resolutely and irrevocably determined to finish the Eastern question.

The Czar thanks the Town Council of Becclanfi" for their warlike address, and no attempt is made to prevent the rush of Boldiers to Servia. Iu fact, the Russian people are introducing the startling novelty of applying the principle ot limited liability to war. Russia will incur a heavy responsibility if she aoes not endeavor to stop tiie presentexcitement. A Paris dispatch to the Tines says: Informa tion from Vienna authorizes the statement that the object of the Czar's autograph letter to Emperor Francis Joseph is to induce Austria to enter into common action in tbe interests of peace. A dispatch to Reuter's Telegram Company from Paris says the substance of the Porte's reply to the powers has already reached the French Government.

It is said to bo of a nature to accelerate a pacifio solution of the Eastern question. The Porte only makes some reservations relative to the reforms to be accomplished, nod expresses the wish that the provinces to be affected by them should not be designated by name. The powers, on the other hand, desire to designate Bosnia, Bulgaria aud Herzvgoviua by name. A dispatch from Belgrade to Reuter's Telegram Company, dated to day, says: "There was a serious dispute yesterday between Prince Milan and M. Ristius, the Servian Minister for Foreign Affairs.

M. Ristics insisted upon the conclusion of an armistice, nut Prince Milan would not listen to the proposition. Ultimately the war party prevailed, and M. Ristics tendered his resignation, which Prince Milan declined to receive. Al.

Ristics was with difficulty persuaded to remain in oilice. England und Italy are greatly irritated at Servia for rejecting an armistice. The British representative, speaking 011 behalf of the Earl of Derby, said Servia must no longer rely on England for sympathies which she no longer deserves. THE CZAlt'S LETTER. What It Proposes Probable Action of tbe tircat Powers.

London, October 2. The Paris correspondent of the Times says the proposals contained in the Czar's letter to Francis Joseph will probably be sent to all the powers. They will certainly be received iu Rome. The object of sending the autograph letter to Francis Joseph Is to induce Austria to take joint action with Russia. It is reported that this letter, after describing in detail the dangers of the situation and condemning the original peace propositions, proposes the immediate occupation of Bulgaria by her army and the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Austrian army, the watching of the Bosphorus by the navies of both powers, Servia to retain her present independence.

This proposition is to make sure that the Russian interpretation of the term of self government be adhered to iu the reforms to be introduced by the Porte. Russia thinks this will stop impose ou the insurgent provinces the acceptance of the conditions stipulated in their favor. Russia makes two eouii'itious in acceding to the idea of a conference: First. The conference is to be held in a neutral city. It is to be composed of Ministers of Foreign Atlairs.

No powers will object to these conditions now. If the Porte onlv grants au armistice, the powers are ready to undertake a peaceful settlement. A Vienna dispatch to the lhiilij Xeies says the reply of Francis Joseph to the Czar's note will not be made until the Porte's answer to the peace proposals is received. Itussla Likely to Assume the Responsibility. London, October 2.

The Standard's dispatch from Deligrade states that the Servians have furiously attacked the Turks, and been again repulsed, with the loss of meu. Another battle is imminent. A dispatch to the Standard from Belgrade says General Sumarokclf, the Russian envoy, is not coming to Belgrade, as was expected. Tbe influx of Russians is steadily crowding out the Servian element. Preparations are making in Belgrade, and 011 the border of Russia, inconsistent with the pacific declarations of the Cabinet at Su Petersburg.

There are good grounds for supposing thut Russia will soon openly take the responsibility of the war which she has been waging under the flimsy cover of the Servian flag. THE SITUATION. Recent Movements at the Front The Turk Said to llave the Advantage. London, September 30. A Belgrade dispatch to the Daily News says: "It is saffl that Prince Milan will leave Belgrade for Paratchin early neit week.

This is regarded as proof of the improbability of any peace ar rangements being concluded. It is said to be highly probable that Prince Milan will be crowned King as soon as he is removed from the restraint of Belgrade. Three hundred and sixty Cossacks arrived in Belgrade on Friday. Two hundred more are expected on Saturday aud six hundred ou Sunday." A dispatch to the Times from Belgrade says the movements on the Morava river are comparatively insignificant. The Servians do not boast very loudly of Thursday's battle.

Official Turkish telegrams claim a victory. The newspaper correspondents nearest the scene of operations seem to agree that the Turks hud the advantage. ine corresponaeni 01 tne uauy lcicgraph at Alexinatz in a dispatch to that paper says the Turks gained a great victory on Thursday, which they could have followed up witb disastrous results to the Servians were it not for the armistice, which the lurnitii commander still treats as valid. The Prince of Montenegro has left Cetlinie to join his army. The reported resump tion 01 ugiuing on tne river yesterday was incorrect.

General Koninroll' lias resigned his post as chief of staff of the Army of the Morava and returned to Russia. His successor is not yet known. General ltunko Olimpica has been reappointed commander of the Army of the Drina. Letciiiauiu will hold a sub ordinate command in the same army. A SERVIAN TRICK.

Why tbe Armistice Was Accepted Failure of Servian Hdienie. LONDON, October 2. The SnmiVi rZ' Belgrade dispatch reports that the Servian forces between Alexinatz and Peligrnde are estimated at 120, OOO men, with 1 10 guns, The only aim and result of Serviu's acctpii armistice was to secure time for General TcheriiaycH' to assemble an army in that quarter and surprise the Turks, it being his intention to cut oil' Fasli Pasha's army from Niscli, drive it into the mountains in the Krusclicvutzdistrict and there destroy it, As hut already been reported, the effort of Thursday was unsuccessful. The Servian loss on that day was at least 2,000. WHIPPING A FAMILY.

The Republican Scare Chandler Shells Out tbe Needful Try ing to Whoop it Through. A Close Shave for Barnes A Rally at Bellefontalne. Special Correspondence of The Times.

Cincinnati, September 27. I think I wrote, in a letter from Columbus a fortnight ago, of Colonel Thompson's plan of capturing the first place on the State ticket by a still hunt among the Germans. The Republicans had just got wind of the scheme there, and were not much alarmed. A few days later a panic seized them. They found that the German vote was slipping away in squads and platoons, especially in Cleveland, and that Thompson's little game was actually likely to win.

The shrewd Democratic chairman was not scattering his shot. He was not trying to elect Tilden in October when nobody could vote for him until November, uor was he even laboring to save thg whole Democratic State ticket. He was concentrating his fire on the Republican nominee for Secretary of Slate, Colonel Milton Barnes, aud his plan was to beat him by getting up a defection among the beer loving Germans, and inducing some thousands of them to scratch their tickets. Jf he could defeat the head of the ticket it would, he knew, be almost as much of a triumph fur the Democracy, as far as the moral effect on tbe Presidential canvass was concerned, as a more complete victory, for it would show the Republicans to be fatally weak where they believed themselves strongest iu the home of Governor Hayes. Any result which could be claimed as a Democratic success iu Ohio would put a new look upon the national canvass, and would give Governor Tilden at least an even chance by carrying New York iu November.

I don't know whether Thouipsou devised this stroke of strategy himself, or whether Governor Tilden, who is understood to keep an eye on the whole field, suggested it. The scheme was working beautifully when the Republican managers took the alarm. In an amazingly short space of time the panic spread through the State, aud even to Washington, to New York and to the West. It was whispered in Indianapolis that the Republicans were likely to lose Ohio on the same day that editors in New York and Philadelphia heard the report, and about the same tune that Zach Chandler was telegraphing from Washington to Columbus, asking what the devil was the matter. "The matter," answered Chairman WikoiF, is that we haven't money enough to run a spirited canvass, and that if tilings go on till election as they are now going we are beaten." I didn't see the dispatch, for I was over in Westeru Indiana, tryiug to convert the Grcenbackers from the error of their ways and get them to vote for General Harrison, but I have no doubt that this was the substance of it.

Now, Chandler had refused a previous application of the Oh committee for assistance, telling them that as they had the candidate for President, they ought to raise money enough at home to run their canvass. But he was frightened, as well as the rest, and, report saj'9, came down handsomely. With a fresh supply of the sinews of war in hand the Republicans began to "whoop up" the campaign all through the State. Their only salvation was to make it hut for the Democrats, to worry them on their war record, to parade the hobgoblin of the solid South and to vigorously shake tbe bloody shirt, and this is just what they did and are doing. They brought iu Rig Hob Ingersoll, who drew immense crowds to hear bis splendid phillippic against the Democratic party.

Everybody who could not get a chance to hear the speech read it in the newspapers, and the ellect on the public mind was electric. Hlaine came, too, and talked to acres of people wherever he went, raising everywhere the dominant fears and prejudices of the war. Carl Scliurz made effective appeals to the recalcitrant Dutchmen in Toledo, Cleveland, Cincinnati and Steubeu yille. A score of other speakers of national reputation were set at work. Their speeches are all pitched in the same key.

They meet the cry of Tilden and Reform" by attacking Tilden 'a two weak points his want of a good war record and his evasion of the income then they dwell upon the bad record of the Democratic party, and finally talk of the solid South, the new Southern Confederacy, the war claims, the action of the House in turning out Union soldiers to make room for rebels, and make passionate appeals to the old feeling of devotion to the Union cause and distrust of the South, which does not seem likely to fade out in this generation. Such speeches never fail of ellect. Talk of finance and the currency, and people will listen with a bored look, as if they thought that question was settled a year ago discuss civil service reform, and they will show very little interest in what you say; but tell them" that there is danger of the rebels getting possession of 'the government, and they will shout and applaud nud work themselves up to a tine pitch of excitement. This revival of war issues has undoubtedly helped the Republicans immensely, but it is still doubtful whether they are out of the woods as far as the head of tiieir ticket is concerned. The other nominees are sale enontrh, but if Barnes pulls through it will be by a mere scratch.

Iu spite of the persuasive argument that to vote uguinst hi in will be to vote against Haves, some thousands of Republican Germans will he sure to cut his name from their tickets, and this class, together with the Cuynliuga county Germans, who, to the number of a thousand or so, huve gone clear over into the Democratic camp, will cause him to run a long way behind Hayes' vote of last year. Curiously enough the small faction of Prohibitionists who still keep up a separate organization are not coming to his aid. If they had any sense or consistency, when they saw a man being "bounced" by tiie beer and whisky drinkers for his temperance principles they would give him a lift, but they insist on throwing their two or three thousand votes away on a nominee of their own. The Republican! are now retaliating for the attack on Colonel Barnes by assailing Mr. Hell, bis opponent.

They call him a saloon bummer, a bribe taker, and showing that be signed a call for an anti draft meeting during the war. This gives to tbe canvass that sweet odor of vituperation so grateful to the nostrils of the veteran politicians, Carter, Sheridan and Henry Armltt Brown Teaching the Huckeyea. Slieclal Dispatch to Thk Tikes. Bkllkkontaink, September 30. The Republicans had a large demonstration here to day, und the Southern element had an airing in the afternoon meeting in the court house.

Colonel Carter and General Sheridan, of Louisiana, were the orators, and made impassioned and eloquent appeals fur the Republican cause. Carter was a Confederate Colonel from Texus, and commanded the last brigade that surrendered in the war. He has since been the Secretary of Pinchbuck, and trained with Warnmuth and Sheridan in 1872. He made a fluent and impressive speech on the Southern Issue. Sheridan followed him, and his speech was brilliant in wit and eloquence.

In the evening, after an imposing torchlight procession, a crowded audience heard Henry Armitt Brown, of Philadelphia, whose scholarly, dignified and forcible arguments and elegant rhetoric will long be remembered by our people. The day has been an auspicious one for the Republicans. MAINE OFFICIAL.

Doubts About Virginia liny The Troubles of tbe Colored Man and Brother. Special Correspondence of Thk Times. Richmond, September 28.

The fact that Virginia, as a State, has taken so small a part in the Centennial International Exhibition inclines Governor Kemper to think that a "Virginia Day" on the Exhibition grounds would be not only a very tame and insignificant occasion, but almost nn impertinence. In any eveut, he says that he cannot be present on the third Thursday of October, the time suggested for the and I incline to believe that he will find any other date equally inconvenient. However, Mr. Peyton, representing the Centennial Commissioners, will be here next Sunday, when he will have an iuterview with his Excellency on the subject. Lieutenant Governor Thomas might attend and represent the State on the "day," but from what I cau learn there will be no "day" for Virginia.

It seems now that the chief persecutors of Rev. J. W. Dungee, the colored leader in the Democratic Political Union, are women, whose weapons are their tongues. Maria Jackson, colored, a member of the First Baptist Church, who.

lives opposite the Navy Hill Free Will Baptist Church, of which Dungee is pastor, is the one whose threat caused an insurance company here to decline to insure the church and the pastor's residence she having said that she would "put the old church and Dungee's house on wheels, set fire to 'eiu and push them down hill." She and two other colored females and one colored man have been iudictcd here for disturbing the congregation of Dungee's church. Maria ubused Dungee and his brethren and sisters aa they went in and came out, and at times she seemed about to advance in upon the assembled worshipers and disperse them vi et armis. The other indicted parties gave her aid and comfort iu these bellicose demonstrations. They are likely to be punished severely, as the code of Virginia prescribes a fine of not more than $100 and imprisonment in jail for not more than six months for the offense with which they are severally' charged. The pressure ngniust colored men who incline to Democracy here, however, is by no means light.

For instance, Peter VYoolfolk, the only colored Notary Public in Virginia, was recently named in the public press as one of the members of Dungee's Democratic Political Union. This morning he publishes a card denying that he is a member. An examination of the roll of the Union, nevertheless, reveals his name, signed iucoulestubly by himself! The latest scheme to relieve Virginia aud the Southern States of many of the evils, real and imagined, of negro suffrage, is credited to General T. Johnson, uu ex Confederate officer, a lawyer of high standing (having prep.ired a digest of the decisions of Chief Justice Chase), and at present a member of the State Senate from this city. This scheme is said to fully recognize manhood suffrage, but to supplement it by allowing one additional vote on a marriage or family qualification, another cn an educational qualification and a third ou a property qualification, so that one man may have and cast four votes.

These are said to be the chief features of the plan, and it is expected that General Johnson will offer it 111 the Virginia Senate this winter as a proposed ameudmeut to the State Constitution. DEATH OF JAMES LICK. Decay of Nature the Cause His Affairs All Arraued for Final Dissolution. San Francisco, October 1. James Lick died in this city at 1 o'clock this morniug.

He has been gradually sinking for sev eral days, his death resulting from mere decay of nature. The remains are lying in state at Pioneers' Hall. The funeral will take place on Tuesday niter noon. Since the last change in the trustees of his charitable fund, the deceased had frequently expressed himself better satisfied with thecomlition of affairs, but has manifested considerable concern at hearing nothing from his sou John Lick, of Frederiesburg, Lebanon county, to whom both letters and telegrams had been sent, requesting his resignation as one of the trustees. All the rest of the old board have tendered their resignation, though they have not yet been confirmed by the court.

The trustees say tiiat the business is in such a shape that no complications can ensue iu carrying out Lick's charitable designs, though there is some fear expressed that the action of John Lick implies the intention of contesting matters in the courts. The total value of the trust fuud is estimated at about five million dollars. THE YELLOW FEVEIt. Interments ut Suvaimub No Fulling; Off In the Number of Deaths. Savannah, 1.

Moody and Snnkey Opening Fire On That Wicked City tVith Splendid fleet. Chicac.o, October 1. The Moody and Sankey meetings opened this morning at 8 o'clock, all arrangements about the great' Tuber'nacie being compete, tbecr sand people greeted Moody's first appearance. Many city pastors were on the platform. Sankey sang with good voice and effect aud the choir was harmonious.

Dr. Goodwin, 'the pastor of the First Congregational Church, prayed with deep fervor and emotion. The sermon by Mr. Moody was characteristic and directed to Christian workers, tiie text being taken from John 39 "Jesus said, take ye away the stone." The poiut of his discourse was the duty of Christians to rid their hearts of whatever rendered them unfit for tiie Lord's use pride, covetousness, unbelief, prejudice and sectarian bigotry. After the benediction by Bishop Cheney, there was great baud shakings and hearty greeting.

Half an hour before the time for afternoon service the tabernacle was lull, and there were enough people in the streets to fill a dozen churches. Moody preached from these words: "He that reapeth receiveth wages." The Rev. Drs. Kittredge, Chamberlin, Goodwin and Thompson led an overflow meeting in Farwell Hall. At the evening meeting in Farwell'Hall twelve persons professed themselves as seeking Christ.

Tbe Feast of the Tabernacles. To day is the 14th of the Jewish month of Tisri, aud at dusk this evening the Hebrew Feast of the Tabernacles begins. The feast, which is one of the most important of the faith, had its origin in honor of the harvest which was annually kept in Judea. In the synagogues of the Orthodox to day a tabernacle will be erected, at which meals will be served in accordance with the divine decree, Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelite born shall dwell in booths." The festival is supposed to last seven days, and among the Orthodox is kept as a time of rest and rejoicing. The services in the Spanish Synagogue will be especially impressive.

Iu them the atonement made on the last day will be sealed and confirmed. The worshipers make seven circuits of the temple, each'beai'tng a palm and citron branch. After each circuit the bunch of myrtle is waved aloft, to the music of the shophar, or ram's horn, which is blown four times during each peregrination. The hist or eighth day of the festival is known as "The Day of the Rejoicing of the Law." All the synagogues will be open to day. Another Railroad in Trouble.

Buffalo, September 30. A suit for the foreclosure of a mortgage for has been instituted agaiust the Buffalo aud Jamestown Railroad Company and everything pertaining to it by the Fanner' Loan and Trust Company, of New York, representing the holders of the bonds issued by the company iu the year 1S03. One million dollars of the capital stock paid up is owned by the city of lluflulo and about half a milliou by the towns through which the road passes, and the remainder by individual stockholders in til is city, It is represented that on the payment of the interest the bondholders would willingly withdraw the suit. The difficulty in the way is that the city cannot contribute the necessary twenty per cent, without an enabling act, which cannot be obtained until the meeting of the Legislature. Probably a receiver of the road will he appointed next week.
