$100,000 per year. The meeting was

THE city of New York has entered
suit against the "Ring Thieves"—
Tweed & Co.—for more than $7,000,

of the plunder stolen from the city by
these Democratic leaders. Democra

A DEAD-LOCK between the city au
thorities and the insurance men in
Kansas City, on the subject of the
water works, resulted Monday in the
destruction of about $40,000 worth of
property. The flames originated in
the explosion of a stock of fireworks
in a fruit store, and thence to a ware
house. Owing to some dispute about
the water-works, the city authorities
refused to allow the water to be used
in putting out the fire.
THE Chicago Tribune says with

in which from a half to three-fourths
of the growing crops have been de
stroyed, involving the loss of sixty
days' labor of about 200,000 people
engaged in agricultural pursuits. Re
planting has taken place once, twice,
and thrice in some of the districts,
and, now that the grasshoppers have
disappeared, fair crops.are looked for
if the weather is favorable and the
fall frosts are late. There is no des

The end of the Beecher-Tilton trial
came last Friday morning when the
jury, being brought into court, inform
ed Judge Neilson that they had
fouud it impossible to agree upon a
verdict, and they were thereupon
discharged. They stood nine for
Beeehwr aud three for Tiltou. The
first ballot and the last were the
same,although so/ae of the intermediate
ballots had differed, the vote at one
time being seven to five and at anoth
er eleven to one.
Both sides claim the verdict as a
victory, but it is hard to see what
gaiu Tilton has made. He brought
a suit for damages and failed to getsure
them, the jury, by a three-fourths
majority, saying that he had not made
out a case. The bitterness of theand
Tilton organs shows their disappoint
ment with the result. The New York
Sun fairly gnashes its teeth in its rage
over the failure of the jury to bring
in a verdict for Tiltou. On the con
trary, Mr. Beecher's friends feel well
satisfied. The following dispatch
was received by Mr. Beecher on Fri
day from his senior counsel:
To Henry W. Beecher: Do not hesi
tate to regard the result as a complete tri
umph of truth. A few days will show that
the dissent is but emphasis of the real ver
dict. I hurry off to Windsor, to be back
week profound a to Mrs
Beecher, and my hearty congratulation to
you.

It is said that further suits will be
prosecuted by the one side or the oth
er. Against anything of this kind a
long-suffering people will protest. To
again open the flood-gates of scandal
and pour out anew the streams of
vileness which for weeks have covered
the face of the land would be an out
rage against moral health and pub
lie decency far beyond quiet endur
ance. Let the thing alone. As to
the guilt or innocence of Mr. Beecher
the people of this country have made
up their minds, and it would be scarce
ly possible to now produce any testi
mony which would alter the opinion
of one man out of every thousand.
As to the position of Theodere Tilton
in the estimation of all decent people,
nothing could sink it to a lower depth.

Another dispatch was received at
the Indian bureau Tuesday from Pro
fessor Janncy, "in which he reiterates
his former statement that so far hehas
not found gold enough in the Black
Hills to warrant any extended min
ing operations there. There are fif
teen miners near where heis encamped,
who claim that they obtain from five
to fifteen cents, worth of gold to a pan
full of earth. The Professor states
that he has tested it several times,
and cannot make an average of over
half a cent per pan. He describes
the character of the formation, and
says it does not indicate gold.
Private advices received at Chi
cago show that investigations areprov

richer in gold than has heretofore
been supposed. The earth down to
bed rock in every direction is filled
with particles of gold, and the quartz
shows rich veins. These advices are

The Milwaukee Wiscomin has this
concerning the condition of business
at present, and the prospects of the
fall:
"The times have been very gloomy
during the past year all over the
Uuited States, because, as a rule, the
raising of neither cotton norwheat has
paid a profit. Of course when the ag
ricultural interests suffer, all others
must suffer in some degree. At pres
ent the prospect for better prices for
produce in the autumn are generally
conceded. The devastation by thewith
floods in France and Austria, and the
severe drought in southern Russia as
some demand for ourwheat from
the continent. It is stated in the
Mark Lane Express that in England
Germany only do the crops look
well.
"The northwestern states,from pres
ent indications, are likely to have' a
bountiful supply of wheat, and if the
price is reasonably fair, the business
activity in the autumn will not only
drive away the prevailing dullness,
but will give a thrift and a movement
to all branches of manufactures such
as have not been known since thepan
ic of 1873."

A Philadelphia paper states that
the present condition of the Northern
Pacific railroad company, is substan
tially as follows:
The sale of the entire property and
franchises of the company, under the
foreclosure suit, will take placeaccord
ing to the order of the Court the first
week in August. It is now reasona
bly assured that the committee, of
which Mr. Johnston Livingston of
New York is chairman, appointed by
the bondholders in March last, will bid

entirety, for the benefit of the bond
holders. The company will then be
reorganized, with the present bond
holders as preferred stockholders, on
a basissubstantially like that present
ed by the Livingston committee.
This basis has now been concurred in
by a large proportion of tbe holders
of the bonds, and the committeeantic
ipate that substantially all will accept
it when it is fully understood. The
reorganization will be immediately
followed by a vigorous effort to push
the road 500 miles further west into
the mineral and cattle-raising region
of Montana, as a means of making the
whole property available and remuner
ative. The court has been asked to
modify certain features of the decree
of sale which were misunderstood by
some of the bondholders, and this
modification, it is understood, will re
move the only objection that has been
urged against the pending measures
for resuscitating this great undertak-
Those most familiar with the
new plan of operations are strong, in
their expressions of confidence that
with the company wholly freed from
debt as it will be by the approaching
change, the work of construction can
speedily be resumed and the invest
ment already made in the road be
made good.

TheChicago Evening Journal's spec

Saturday evening as a large party
were returning from Greenfield, Ad

river,which had been swollen by recent
rains, when a wagon containing Mr.
A. Montgomery, wife, daughter and
son, and Mrs. Thomas Montgomery
and her three children, and J. R. Ba

plunged into the torrent. Mrs. Thos.
Montgomery and her babe went down
and were not. seen afterwards. Mr.
Montgomery clung to the horses for
with a boy in his arms, but
was compelled tolet "go and both were"
drowned. Meantime Mr. Baker, who
had been swimming to the opposite
shore, with another boy in his arms,
became exhausted within four feet of
the bank and was carried downby the
torrent. The other people were res

SAN FRANCISCO, July 3.—The Post
this evening publishes a narrative of
nine columns, purporting to be the
"true story" of the circumstances con
nected with the troubles of Rev. Mr.
Parshall, of Oakland. Some two
years ago Parshall was tried by the''
church council—in October and No
vember, 1873—for lascivious conduct
certain members of his flock.
He was convicted and left town, go
ing to Vallejo, and finally settling at
Healdsburg, Sonora county. On the
28th of October last the community
was startled by the report that P. H.
Summer, a real estate agent, who had
been a prominent memberof Parshall's
church at Oakland, had been a victim
of attempted assassination, and taken
to his home severely wounded. He
kept his bed for several weeks, being
attended by friend* and physicians,
and being interviewed by a reporter
showed anonymous letters warning
him of harm if he did not
STOP HIS PERSECUTION OF PARSHALL,
and finally made an ante-mortem
statement that he was waylaid by two
men on the night in question, and on
his refusing to sign a compact to set
Parshall all right, attacked as before
mentioned. Instead of dying after
his statement, Summer went east
with his family. During his absence
Parshall commenced a suit against
the Pott tor the publication of Sum
mer's ante-mortem statement. Sum
mer returned in May last, said he had
obtained a good deal of information
about Parshall in the east which
would help the Post in its libel suit,
and called on Col. W. H. Barnes,
who was conducting the case for the

mous letters, which he claimed to

on account of his opposition to Par
shall. He subsequently told Barnes
that he had discovered the man who
attacked him, and within a day or
so brought to Barnes' office a man
named Purvis, who acknowledged
having committed the assault on Sum
ner, at the request of Parshall that
Parshall was an oldfriend of his, and
worked on his sympathies until he
consented to commit the deed. Pur
vis also named as his accomplice one
J. C. Rogerson, of Oakland, a clerk
in the employ of Bowen Bros.
showed letters purporting to be from
Parshall relative to the contemplated
assassination, which were in the same
hand as those procured by Summer.
Capt. Lees, a detective, was called in
to the case. He made a critical ex
amination of Purvis, and the whole
affair. A discrepancy was discover
ed which aroused his suspicions, and
the upshot of the whole matter is
that Purvis, and subsequently Sum
mer, being confronted with the evi
dence obtained, have finally confessed
that the whole matter, including the
injuries received by Summer, the an
onymous letters received by him, and
the supposed correspondence between
Purvis and Parshall were
A CONSPIRACY
for the ruin of Parshall. The Post
was informed of the disclosures on ac
count of there being a libel suitagainst
it by Parshall. OnMonday Parshall
was notified by telegraph, and on his
arrival Tuesday it was determined to
proceed at once against Summer, and
this morning suit was commenced
against him in the twentieth district
court by Parshall, with damages at
$5,000, for libel, contained in the so
called ante-mortem statement.
