It is said on Protestant authority that the Protest ants ol Ballast number 100,000 agalnt 60, 000 Catholics. It Is hardly probable that tho minority would expect to "clean out" a majority of nearly four to one.

Tho Hlrviitflh of SIoilvo, Kl. Piaj, Till., August 11.?An Ameri can newspaper correspondent, in company with Samuel Field, a well known citiieu of Dal leu, eaw Catting in the jail nt Paso Del Norte yesterday. Ha asked him, bo Bays, particularly aa tc his alleged circula tion personally in Mexico, of tha article complained of, to which (Jutting replied: "Upon going over to the Mexican aide, on the morning of the publication, I had in my pocket a copy of the paper i'( Sen tinel, 1 entered a corner cafe kept by a friend of mine, and caaually handed him a paper, the only one 1 bad. This is all I did, and la tho very truth as to thoatory of my circulating 'great numbers' of the paper iu Paao Del Norte," tie then asked Cutting whether be in tended to appeal hie case to the Supreme Court of Chihuahua. The priaouer re plied that hla attorney, a young Mexican student, just out of the law school had de termined to do so. J udge IS. H. Davis, who owns over ono million acres of land in Mexico, and who Is a leading lawyer hero, says Mexico's po sition in the Cutting case is clearly wrong, and our government cannot rightfully re cede from the poaitlon it haatakeu. Pres ident Diaa is friendly to the United States, and would hate to quarrel with us, but be is peculiarly placed and ia being forced into a tight by his enemies of the opposi tion. ... Benor Escobal, one of the ablest lawyers in Paso Del Norte, says that aa Cutting circulated hla libel in Mexico he violated Mexican law. Mexico will not recede from her'position. She is atyled a fourth class power and the United Statue a first clasa power, butsho is proud and will not be dictated to aa to her laws even by the United States. (X'TTIN'ti'S TItKATMJiNT Iti Jail?A I'euri'ful Settluiuuiit ?>f tlio AflUIr Autloliintod* Ngw Yoiik, Auguat 11.?Consul Qenerai Navarro, the Mexican representative in this city, regards the war talk ns nonsen sical and admits that his country would be an easy prey for the United States. "It ia a matter for discussion and arbitration," bo said, "and it doea not seem probable that the two governments are going to act like a couple of school boys aud como to blows over such a fellow as Cutting. There are many aspcctsot the case which admit of free discussion, and the Governor of Chihuahua no doubt believes that his po sition ia the right one. Although Cutting printed ilia libel on American soil, be cir culated it in Mexico, aud thereupon be came amenable to Mexican laws. Again, there is a clause in the codo of Chihuahua making any one who commita a crime against a Mexican citizen amenable to Mexican laws, and, if I am not mistaken, there Is a similar clause in tho Texan code. The reporls of great excitement in the towns along the border are undoubt edly fabrications. I am in daily commu nication with people in all parts of Mex ico, aud they Insist that tho matter baB aroused onlv a local interest. "I bad to laugh, upon reading a dis patch alleged to have emanated truin Gov ernor Maceyra ordering that in coeo an attompt should be mado to rescue Cutting that hiB bead be cut olT and presented to tbo rescuing party. I know tho Governor personally and am positive that be could uot have been a party to auy such order, lie is an intelligent, well educated and conservative gentleman, well known to nmny Americans who have traveled in Mexico, and much admired by them. (Jutting is receiving the beet possible treatment. He is not contlned in tbo jail Kroper, but occupies a room in the jailer's ouse, and enjoya other privileges not extended to otuer prisoners. 1 am posi tive that President Lliaz and the Minister of Foreian Allaire are anxiods to adjust the matter amicably, and leel sure tbatan understanding will be reached that will be satisfactory in every way. It is a great injustice to Mexicans to state that Ameri cans are constantly persecuted and au noyed when on Mexican soil. A respect able, law-abiding citizen is just as free from annoyance in Mexico as 1 am in this countrv. it is the criminal element that briugs'trouble on itself, and Mexico is blamed for forcing its laws against It." Ueneral Palatlon, the newly appointed Mexican Minister to Upain, is in this city on bis way to Madrid. He says that Mex ico feels rnoBt friendly towards the United mates, and he is conlldent the present difficulty will be amicably settled. When asked if Mexico would not iare hard in case of war, he replied: "lam uot so sure of that. We would give tho States a good deal harder rub than we did in 1817. Mexico baa now 40,000 troops, well equip ped and disciplined." INDIANA IJKMOOHAI'8. They Mourn fur their U?n<l I,oa<l?r?-Il?io. lilt loll* Adopted, Iitnuxirous, Inu?

Fiiiladilfbia, Auxust 11.?The J'rtu lias the following; There wero some de velopments yeflterdsy In tho rupture be tween the Pennsylvania and the Balti more & Ohio Railroad Companies which looked like war. A statement was tele graphed from Now York that Commis sioner Fink said tljat titi would take no notice of the rnpturo between the two roads; that the Baltimore & Ohio would continue to carry freight over the Wilm ington & Northoru and the Philadelphia ik Heading, and make passenger arrange' ments with tho Jersey Central, and that tbe Truuk Line pool would be disturbed. There wero rumors during the day, how ever, which tended to ihrow.aome uncer tainly about Mr. Fiuk'a prediction. One was that tho Baltimore & Ohio would open a water routo for freight from New York to Philadelphia and Baltimore, and thence West by rail. Another was that the Bal timore dt Ohio would at once contend with the Pennsylvania for Philadelphia freight to New York, The actions ol Vice Presi dent King during the day and Mr. King's own declaration showed this to be appa rently true. Mr. Garrett, head worker In Philadel phia, was busy nearly all day. He sum moned hia new general manager. David M. Council, from Wilmington and called his other assistants around him. It was decided to compete at once for the Phila delphia business and settle tbe through freight question later. The Baltimore & Ohio Company already owns tbe Dela ware wharves at Dickenson, Lombard nnd Brown streets, and it was determined to open freight stations there Immediately. John H. weeks, who for twelve yoars has been connected-Asith the freight depart ments of the Pennsylvania and Keading Companies, was appointed general freight agent for 1'hiladolphla, and otllces wero rented at 400 Chestnut street. Vice President King was at the com pany's main office,l&l&mth Fourth street, in tho afternoon, nnd was asked what the company proposed to do. * "We mean to enter the field actlvoly," said he. "At the Dickinson, Lombard anil Brown street piers we will receive and deliver freight for New York, and on Monday we wiHdo a general merchandise business. From these points we will con voy the freight by water to Fort Rich mond, thence by the Keading tracks to Wayno Junction ami on to New York." '?What will tho Baltimore & Ohio do about through freight?" "We will attend to that later. Frolght will continue to go to New York from Baltimore M it baa been doing, leaving our lino at Wilmington and going around by Heading." John 8. Williams, general frolght agent of tho Pennsylvania hailroad, Bald: 'The (lllllculty is this: for some time the Baltimore & Ohio Kallroad Company baa been diverting tratlic destined for points North of Baltimore from the Phila delphia, Wilmington & Baltimore Hall road to their now line. Inquiry having been made by tho Pennsylvania railroad of the Baltimore & Ohio oiUclals as to whether they considered this action in ac cord with tbo spirit of tho working ar rangement that had existed for years be tween the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore and Baltimore & Ohio, and which In freight matters remains precisely aa it was prior to the Pennsylvania becoming tbe potaessor of tho Phila delphia, Wilmington & Baltimore, a re ply was received from the Baltimore 4 Ohio to tho elTcct that there were no agreements or understandings between the companies that could not be terminated at will by either; that tbe Baltimore & Ohio had diverted portion of tbe trafllc, and that they oxpectedin a short time to di vert it all. In view of this condition of things, the Pennsylvania foit that they should have aoine increased revenue upon whatever portion of the business waa left to tbem, which could not be diverted from the Baltimore & Ohio's new line, taking no action, however, that would work any in convenience or embarrassment to either the Baltimore It Oblo or the publio."

PAIUKUSUUKO, W.

Moore, who la an old citizeu, having lived in Kitcbie couuty lor iilty years put, had the reputation of be ing a miserly, grasping fellow, II lie tuadu one dollar be saved ninety cents of it, aud it was known that he had large suiub in his possession. He kept his fortune in a little oaken box, which he put up into the loft over bis sleeping apartment aud had the celling so arranged that no trace of the concealment could be seen. From hero the box was stoleu, and until Mouda/ali has remained a mystery so far as the identity of the burglars ie concerned. Detective Alf. W, Burnett, the clever ohief of the Eureka Detective Agency, arrived in the city last night, aud fro in him the reporter learned the particulars of the clearing up of the mystery, it in volves a tale worthy of a Highly dime novel romancer, Instead of a level-beaded detective's experience. As soon as the money was missed, the old gentleman, who waa almost craned with grief over his loss, seut for Mr. llurnett and put tho case in hie hands, paying his expenses and a liberal jut di?ni and prouiisiug him a $500 reward (or tne return of the uioney. iiu at once went to ititckie in the guise of a lawyer and pension agent aud proceeded to look up the case. He lound tliat tnere was a general impression that old Moore had robbed himself. Hut this in the face of his employment was im possible. He learned that the old man had six sons. Three of these were favoiites and three were disliked by the old gentleman. They all admitted that the money bad been stoleu by some of the boys, hut there all information ceased. He tried in every conceivable way to ob tain a clue but every endeavor failed. He found them a very ignorant lot, uuublo to read aud write, and apparently willing to testify to any thing in regard to tho matter. After about three weeks of maequeradiug, he cauie out boldly and announced hia identity and tried to bluir the ions, but here again he failed. They went to Har rlsville and secured a lawyer and prepared to fight It out. iiapfud hut not dk^satki>. Dallied at every point and uuable to se cure any reliable informatiou ho became more determined than ever to ferret out the burglar or burglars. He learned that about a year before the boys had learned that the old gentleman had made a will, and that he had left three of them but oue dollar each and that he had willed all his property to the other three. He then pro ceeded on the hypothesis that the three sons who had b'eeu neglected in tbe will had done thestealiug, supposing that they thought that here was au opportunity to soouro their portion of tbe old man's money, which they seemed to be in a fair way to loose. He then resorted to another maneuver. He hired a member o( one of the families for $100 to secure him a clue. This he got when the penon he hired informed him that tbe little children of one of the tnon had said that their father had a small box bidden in the woods. He knew now who could tell him where tbe money was, and that the three brothers who wero not favorites were guilty.

The preliminary trial took place here to-day, the Prosecutor representing the State and the Hon. J. M. Dalzell appear ing for the defendant. The volume of evi dence was exceedingly limited. Only three witnesses were examined, yet the whole case was duvoloped in that brief compass. The surgeon who made the autopsy was the tlrst witness. He found oue Btab in the body. It was in the left thigh, through the femoral artery, one anu a half iuches deer, and ono-half inch wide. It earned death. It was lateral, or at right angles with the perpendicular of the body. It could have been produced either by pushlug thu instrument to Iho leg, or the leg to the instrument, in his opinion. Body of de ceased Indicated pel feet health, great physical strength and vigor. Ho was 1713 pouuds in weight, muscular, a powerful uiao. He had no disease, io physical de fect whatever. The next witness was the widow of deceased, Mrs. Agues Roger?, in deep mourning, heavily veiled and weep ing. She was eo agitated that shu could hardly speak at all at lirat, but recovering control of her feelings she proceeded to toll all she knew of the case In remarkably few words. Father and son had been drinking all day. It was dark on the evening of August 3, 1880, and they were out on a porch In front of the house. There was no light on the porch. She could as ehe pasted in and out hear their drunken talk hut seo nothing. She heard loud talk. She went out. Deceased had jumped out of his chair and jumped on liie prisoner. Prisoner's wife had bold of deceaaed's arm, and was begging him not to hurt her husband. Just then the old man fell exclaiming: "I am dead I" She brought u lamp and the lloor was covered with blood. Jacob knelt before his father aud leaning oyer said these words: "Pap, 1 would not have hurt you for the world. Speak to me. tell me bow you are hurt." in a moment tlie old man was dead. She saw no knife. She saw no blows. The next witness was Charles Kogers, her sou, aged eleven years, a etep-broiher of the prisoner. The little fellow was very frank to say ho was so scared that be could remember nothing but that "Pap jumped on Jake, aud struck Jake. Jake s wife trieil to pull Pap hack, for Pap was going to bit Jake again. Tnen Pap fell," and he could remember no more about it. The wife of the prisoner cannot testify and the secret ol the tragedy is still in the dark, uness the prisoner's story is true, that ho was whittling when the old man struck him, and in warding off the second blow, as be stooped down and' the old man advanced, tboold man's leg got cut on the knife accidentally. iMayor l-'ostur dedded that no case of murder had been made, aud thu worst he could see in it was possibly manslaughter at the worst and tlxed the bond at $2,000, In default of which the prisoner was re mauded to await trial in September, Unknown ItuUtui Killed.

Soiuo Silly Wuiuuii i*r?#uiil the CrliuliiuU with Flowum, and thus Dufumu thu l'lunU-Thu l'msucutlon Ojieu# the Orutory liefore tho Jury, Ouicaqo, August U.?A little before ten o'clock this forenoon the. defendants In the Anarchists' trial marched Into Judge Gary's crowded court room, headed by August Bpies. The prisoners all looked smiling and comparatively unconcerned, and greeted their lady friends with smiles. They bad scarcely taken their seats when a young lady with a basket ou her arm, went along the lino and presented each of them with a bunch of flowers. One of the papers this morning stated that Ura. Black, the wife of tho leading counsel for tbo defense, supplied tho Anarchists with their morning bouquets. She was quoted aa saylog in a florist's shop: "1 want these for the poor saints at the Criminal Court. Tiiedear martyrs are baing sorely abused by the tyrants now, and I fear something will happen to them. But if anything doos, there are thousands ready to tear tnelr oppressors to pieces," Mrs. Black indignantly denied the rsuiarks at tributed to her by a reporter this morning When Court was opened Officer Palmer was called to the stand. Palmer testified concerning the arrest of Schanubelt, Offi cer Palmer testified that ticbanubelt could speak English, although he had a strong German accent. The witness was not cross-examined. Detective Bondeld was recalled, and testified that he was preaeut when Spies was first arrested and taken before the Chief of Police, lie was asked to relate the conversation which occurred at that time. Mr. Kbersold did no lay his bands on Spies or threaten him in any manner, suck as stated by Spies. The Assistant State's Attorney was call ed to the stand. The State's Attorney de sired to have him testify concerning the stufftaken from tho ArbtiUr Ztiluwj ollice which he had had charge of. lie also do sired to offer in evidence a proof-sheet of the column in which the word "Kulie" was InBertod. Tho uefense objected and the objection was sustained. Mr. Grinnell then announced that tho State rested. Afior consultation the defence an nouoced that they had neglected to prove two facts. Thoy had desired to introduce two witnesses, one who would corrobor ate Spies' testimony aa to his movements at Lhu Uaymarket and another who would testify against the witness Thompson. The defense stated that tbo two witnesses had disappeared, and intimated that tho prosecution was responsible for their dis appearance. Mr. Grinnell stated that he hail seen this insinuation in the ArbeUtr /tilling, and upjn seeing It the Slate had used every means in their power to produce the two men. The paper stated that one of them (fiSgnnr) was in Kansas City,and the Chief of Police there had been in structed several days ago to endeavor to find him, but could not. A lout; discusflon here took place as to tbo ordur in which the closing arguiuonto should be made. It waa Unally decided that AsaieUut State'a Attorney Walker abonld open the argument, Zjialerot the defer,so to lollow, to be succeeded by Ingham (or the prosecution, Foster and Black, (or the defense, and Grinnellto close lor the Statu in the order named. This result wis not arrived at without considerable dlscucslon. Mr. Walker began by saying that in thie liepublio all men stood equal belore tho law and when the perpetrator of any crims Btood before the bar for trill tbo goddess of justice was indeed blind until bis guilt bad been proven. No matter whether be was Socialist or Anarchist? the very law which he had desired to "throttle" now stood aa his protector until bis guilt waa shown, and in this case they hud made the defendants guilty be yond any shadow of a doubt. ' Mr. Walker then addressed himself to the jury, to which he paid the usual com pliments. He next called their attention to several deUnittuoa of the phrase, "be yond a reasonable doubt." He quoted from a number of authorities to show that when tho mind Is convinced aa to the guilt of a defendant, no fear of the punish ment the jury might he called upon to Im pose should allect their judgment in de claring the guilt of a criminal.

Owing to a misunder standing aa to who would act as Judge dur ing the present term very llttlo business will be done. It wis arranged for Judge "Mon" Jackson, o!

Milwaukkk, August 11.?Though the forests in the Northern tier of counties in this State are still ablate and are likely to remain on fire until rains quench the Dames, the danger to Tillages and towns la over, unlets heavy gales should sweep down upon them. While not over a dozen uses of human crema tion are reported It is believed that many backwoodsmen and families cannot posaibly have eicaped. The fatality to live stock baa been terrible, Hundreds of the obarrod bodies of cattle lie on the blackened track of the devastating cyclone of fire. It is eatlmated that in Ualuinet, Clark,Maranthon and a few adjacent coun ties 600 families are rendered homeless and destitute. Many of these poople had narrow escapes from death, having hidden in wells or submerged themselves up to their necks In streams with wet blankets, covering their hoads nntil tho Are passed. In some places the lire swooped down so suddenly upon the people that thoy barely had tlino to seek this method of safety. In other places the roar of the Uames was heard for miles, and-the terror stricken people fled madly before the flames to neighboring villages and towns. The loss cannot even bs estimated. Hun dreds ol homes, doiens ol saw mills and millions ol feet of timber are In ashes. To-night's advlcos are that the fires aro abating considerably by running Into clearings, and because tho wind has died out. However, fsari are ontertalned of a repetition, should high winds prevail again before rain appears. Along the val ley division of the Chicago, Milwaukee A tit.

A petitiou, which lias received numerous signature*, has boon handed ta the Mayer, demanding the appointment of a royal mmmlasion to investigate and report upon the causes ol the diiorders which have oc curred hare since June, A press representative, who has bet n investigating the riots, their causes, re sults, elc., called upon ltev. Dr. Kand, tho Grand Master of tho Uraud Orange I.odgo of Belfast, lie said: "I see that Uavitl says the riots are due entirely to the ag gression ol the Oranjomen. Tnat Is an unqualified lie, with not an atom of foun dation. 1 attribute the riots solely to the unprovoked attack upon the Presbyterian Sunday school excursion a week ego last Saturday, made by Catholics on Uarrick Hill, a low quarter inhabited almost wholly by National Leaguers. The riots thus bs< itun were maintained by repeated attacks upon Protestant girls going to and from work and also by the Infamous partisan ship of the police who attack I'rotestanta whenever they get a chance. The police force of ilelfast Wing mainly composed of Catholics, theie is no body of men to be found in which party feel ing runs so high and understrained aslt does among them. Why, only last Saturday three of the vlillans entered the house of a member ol my congregation without warning, ?l>nt the door and shoutod: 'We are Tipperary boys. We have come to shoot > ou Orange beggars, and we'll shoot you like rate." Oue ad vanced toward the terrified inmates of the bouse, and said: 'I shot six Orangemen last night, and I mean to shiot twelve to-night.' A disturbance outside attracted tlio attention of the fellow*, and they withdrew without exei utinf their threats, but this sort of thing is a common occur rence. The men have been identified and tbe authorities notified of tbe out raiie, but it is not likely that auytbing will bo done to punish them. There are H,000 Catholics on the police force, and only 5,500 Protestants, so you may see how little mercy Orangemen may expect from them as a body. "Another fruitful source of disorder was the election of Tbomas Sexton, and the riots may be Bald to have been caused in part by that event. Hla apparent success at tbe polls?It is now known boyond the possibility of doubt that this election was ilirgal?made the National party more bumptious and insolent than ever, and teuili d greatly to sustain tbe excitement.
