steamboats that shall have landed at Port
Memphis subsequent to the first of August,
shall be allowed to land at the wharf, in this
city, or discharge freights or passengers with
in the limits of St. Louis without a permit
from the health commissioner. Commodore
"Wm. J. Kountz, of Pittsburg, a steamboat man
for many years, protested against this action
and proposed a quarantine of freight of ten
days during which vessels and cargoes should
be thoroughly fumigated, but the board de
clined to rescind the order.
MINNESOTA WHEAT BUYERS

ATTEMPT TO MURDER.
At New Orleans, August, 4, us Gen.
Badger was ascending the stairway from the
lower floor to the main office of the custom
lionsc, he was suddenly confronted by Wm.
Brown ex-metropolitan policeman, who. with
the remark, I've got you now," drew a revol
ver and fired it at the head of the collector
He,seeing Brown's movement, caught his arm
and directed the shot over his shoulder. Gen.
Badger then took the pistol away from Brown
and threw it below. Brown lost a leg Septem
ber 14tli, 1S47, under Badger, and was among
Badger's first appointees as postmaster where
lie failed to remain. The collector thinks
Brown was crazed by poverty to attempt to
murder, and seems unwilling to prosecute.
Brown thinks the General should have given
him a place in the custom house.
A TOWN DESTROYED BY FIRE.
On the morning of August 4, the town
Volcano, in West Virginia, was destroyed by
fire, started by an incendiary. Everything is
a total loss. The fire originated in the stone
building of Thompson & Barnes. It was dis
covered about 4 o'clock. The flames spread
rapidly, and reaching some oil tanks they
caught fire and bursted, the burning oil run
ning through the streets setting fire to every
thing on either side of the streets through
which it passed, transforming the streets into
a lake of fire. There were 6,000 barrels of
heavy oil burned, ten stores, the post office,
railroad depot and telegraph office, nine
dwelling houses, hotel, Walking Beam print
ing office, the West Virginia transportation
office, Smith's boiler works, one pumping sta
tion and several other small buildings. Al
most the entire contents of the stores and
dwellings were consumed, the tlames spread
ing with such lightniug rapidity, all dwellings
being wooden structures. Total lo^s $75,000
nsurancc $43,000.
SITTING BULL WHIPPED.
A report from Gen. Miles has been re
vived confirmatory of previous news of his
successful expedition against Sitting Bull
Gen. Miles' report is dated July 24, from Rock
Creek, and details his further movements
since Sitting Bull and horde were stampeded
across the line into British Territory. The
most important information conveyed is the
statement that Major Walsh of the Nothwest
ern Mounted Police, (British troops,) aceom
pained by Long Dog, the most important chief,
after Sitting Bull, of the hostile Indians, had
visited his camp. These gave the fullest in
formation about Sitting Bull and his camp
and their movements. Major Walsh says the
Indians were completely demoralized by their
fight with Miles and his rapid approach on the
main camp. Their flight into Canada is likened
to a complete rout. Long Dog says they
wanted to get out of the way, and that's about
the extent of his confession. In hrief the In
dians havo determined to remain in Canada
under British authority, and in the futuro
offer no molestation to Americans or our
friendly Indians.
ENGLISH GRAIN MARKET.
The Mark Lane Express of August 5,
in its weekly review says a few days of fine
weather have slightly browned the more for
ward wheat plants. Its growth the past ten
days lias been considerable on high lying and
well drained land and on chalky and gravelly
soil the progress made by crops is remarkable.
Northwest of the liue from Lyme Regis to
Great Goimsley expectations are little im
proved. Wheat is thin and poor, hopelessly
weakened by rain and ears noticeably small.
Barley is immature in some parts of Lincoln
shire and wi'tl not pay the cost of harvesting
In the southern, western and midland coun
ties the barley crop is very disappointing. In
the north of England the growth is healthier
but the ears are thin. In oats many districts
are short in stem, and very irregular, but arc
expected reach more nearly to an average
yield than the other cereals. In Scotland
neither wli .ut or barley will give a lull yield,
but oats, v.uh tine weather during August,
would be ai. average crop. In Ireland wheat
has developed small ears, but in Leicester,
Munster and Oonnaught the crop promises to
be fair. Reports from Ulster are less fav
orable. Finer weather will considerably in
fluence the markets. Millers have been res
erved in their purchases. The price of English
wheat has ecased to advance, and has now
and then declined. Thursday last the weather
was showery, and buyers and sellers were in
suspense. The price of foreign wheat has
been difficult to maintain owing to the heavy
shipments from the Unitey States. The quan
tity of California, Chilian, Russian and Aus
trian wheat on passage to the United King
dom is very considerable, and witli the addi
tion of half a million quarters of American
red, makes a total of over one million five
hundred thousand quarters against six hun
dred thousand for the same period last year.
From the best prices of a week ago some
markets have witnessed concessions of two
shillings per quarter on white and one shil
ling on red, and the amount of port exchan
ges at previous full rates were not realized.
None of the markets have advanced. Flour
was languid. There were no material deliver
ies of English barley at country markets
while importation was moderate and inquiry
slack, but the general scarcity enables holders
to realize 6 pence to a shilling per quarter ad
vance on previous rates. There was a fair in
quiry for oats and prices would have further
improved if Swedish and Russian arrivals
had not been heavy. Maize advanced
six pence at most of the markets and at
some of them the advance was a shilling.
The general scarcity of English wheat alone
prevented a decline. The weather in France
recently has been line aud it appears to be
tolerably certain the southern provinces will
have a fair erop. The East will probably show
better results than last year. In the central
provinces the wheat harvest has commenced.
Oats in some parts of France will be over an
average. Barley promises well in some of the
central provinces, but the general crop will be
inferior
YELLOW FEVER.
Fifteen new cases of yellow fever were
reported at Memphis, August 4, and two
deaths. The enforcement of quarantine at St.
Louis is still more stringent. No new cases of
yellow fever reported. There were several sun
strokes August 4. The thermometer ranged
from 04 to 9S in the streets. The brig Stephen
Bishop is detained at quarantine, at Boston
with yellow fever on board. At Chicago Au
^u-t 4, George W. Cunningham, from Mem
phis died, with a suspicion of yellow fever
Advices from Havana of August 4, state the
deaths from yellow fever this last week at 137
an increase of twenty over the previous week.
Total number of deaths from yellow fever dur
ing July, 537, against 50-1 last year, the same
month. Since the begining ol'the year S57
deaths have occurred, against 813 the same
time the previous year.
Eighteen new cases ol yellow fever
were reported in Memphis, August.", (10 of
them colored) and 5 deaths. The fever is
gradually spreading from the two infected
points and greater mortality can be anticipa
ted. At a meeting of the committee of safety
on the afternoon of August 5, it was re?olved
that rations aud medical aid be supplied to all
camp- and societies alike, provided that all
money.- or contributions received by said
camps or societies be turned over to the safety
committee. The city remains remarkably
quiet and dull.
Little Rock, Ark., is perfecting strin
iren: quarantine measures. No new cases of
yellow fever have been reported in New Or
leans for six days. The city is free from the
fever, and physicians say the fever has run its
course for the present summer.
Twenty-two new cases of yellow fever
were reported at Memphis, August G, about
half colored persons. Three deaths were re
ported. one a Catholic priest, This is the sec
ond Catholic priest that has fallen a victim.
The fever teems to be gradually approaching
the heart of the city.
At Memphis, August 7, for the 24
hours ending at-0 p. in. 20 new cases of yel
low fever were reported. This is a marked
increase and plainly indicates that the fever is
rapidly spreading. At St. Louis there are five
yellow fever patients in the hospital. New
Orleans is reported free from yellow fever,
or anj* contagious disease, and quarantine
against the city has been removed.
At Memphis. August 8, there were 22
new cases of yellow fever, 8 white, 14 colored,
and 5 deaths were reported. The disease is
now declared epidemic, aud absentee? are
forbidden to return. The Howard association
have placed 0 additional nurses on duty.
Weather very chilly, damp and unfavorable to
sick and well. An order has been issued for
didding any person or persons to IK- landed
from any boat. This prohibition applies to all
railroads leading into the city.

BOBBING THE DEAD.
A Pastime Indulged in by a Trio of Chica
goans in a Church.
(Chicago Tribune, Aug. 6.1
Yesterday afternoon James Hare, the old
sexton of the Fourth Presbyterian church,
where Prcf. Swine preached for so long, wes
in the church building, busied with some
women patting down matting. He was sud
denly struck with paralysis, and fell senesless
to the floor. The women, as they saw him
fall, rushed out of the church, very much
frightened, for the pnrpose of informing the
police. There was at work on the bnilding
at the time three men—a stonecutter, a ma
son, and a bricklayer—named John McHugh,
J. Y. Bennett, and Roland Bennett. As the
women rushed out to notify the police they
saw these men working on the outside and
told tbem what had happened. No sooner
had the women disappeared than the three
men rushed into the oburch, went to the spot
where the sexton was lying, prompted, per
haps, in the first place by curiosity, but af
terwards inspired by the devil, and began to
search the body. They discovered on it a
watch and a quantity of money, which they
immediately appropriated.
The sexton, an old man of 50. lived in the
basement of the church, and was in the
habit of carrying about with him the little
sum which be had accumulated as the sav
ings of years. After having rifled the body,
the stonecutter, bricklayer and mason re
turned to their work. A little after 4 o'clock
Coroner Mann's deputy, Sawyer, came along
and held the inquest. While it was in pro
gress, friends of the decea3ed, who knew
that he bad some money, and that he was
in the habit of carrying it abont with him,
called attention to its disappearance, at
which they naturally expressed some sur
prise. The women were questioned, and
said there was nobody around but these
three men. A policeman and the coroner's
constable and deputy went out in search of
them and found them near by busied in a dis
pute about the division of some money. They
straightway laid hands upon them, brought
them back to the church, and searched them.
Upon McHugh they found $260, upon J. Y.
Bennett $32.50 and upon the other Bennett
$10 and a waich. The friends of the dead
man insisted that he had $350 with him, al
though the sum taken from the three men
footed ap only $302.50, leaving a shortage
of $47.50. In the amount, however, they
may have been mistaken.
The men were questioned about the affair,
and admitted they had taken the money off
the deceased, but they said they did it
simply for the purpose of turning it over to
the coroner. They were afraid that if it
were left on the body somebody might come
along and gobble it, so they, as honest men,
took charge of it for the purpose of
turning it over to the proper authori
ties. This statement, which they doubtless
will make this morning when the case
comes np for hearing at the north side police
court, was naturally considered somewhat
unsatisfactory by the coroner's officers, and
the three men were taken over to the Chica
go avenue station and locked op to await the
action of Justice Kaufman this morning.
The coroner was informed that while
these three men were in the church with the
body three ladies, passing by and looking in,
saw them rifling the corpse and dividing the
spoils among them. These ladies went their
way, hawevec, and, in the confusion and ex
citement, no pains were taken to learn their
names. Mann is anxious that they should
report themselves at his office, in order that
they may be nsed as witnesses in the case
against these individuals.
A CAMP MEETING SCANDAL.
A Lady in Good Standing Ordered to Leave
The Grounds, and a Toting Policeman
Summarily Bounced—Battle Ground in a
Ferment of Excitement.
[Special to Cincinnati Enquirer.]
BATTLE GBOUND, Ind.—This delightful
village is located on the ground where sixty
eight years ago the historic battle with the
Indians was fought by General Harrison and
his patriotic soldiers. Aside from this it is
the place where the meeting of the Battle
Ground Camp Meeting association is held
annually. This much by way of introduc
tion.
Several days ago a dark cloud appearad
upon the horizon, and the quiet and order of
the meeting now in progress here have been
greatly disturbed by its dark shadow. In at
tendance upon the meeting, among others,
was one Mrs. Stockton, from Crawfordsville.
She is a widow, handsome and vivacious.
So far as your correspondent can learn, she
is a lady, pleasant and well bred. She is a
member of the church, in good standing and
occupied quarters in the boarding house of
the association. One of the police,
a dashing young man of good connec
tion, John Behm, attended to her baggage
and did sundry other favors for the lady.
She was escorted about the grounds by
several of the good brothers iu attendance at
the camp-meeting, and also was accompanied
on several occasions by young Behm. The
gossips began to talk. There was music in
the air, and Madame Rumor said terribly
hard things, which at length reached the ears
of the professedly good deacons and they
would stand it no longer.
The effect of the whole affair was in effect
abase accusation. The officer, Behm, was
summarily bounced and Mrs. Stockton
ordered to leave the grounds. Her indigna
tion at the gross insult can readily be oon
ceived. She departed when she got ready,
and it is presumed that peace and quiet now
reign in "Warsaw." One of the possible re
sults of this highly interesting matter may
be a suit for slander. The lady in question
is understood to be respectably connected,
and will not endure so disastrous affront
without an effort to refute it.
An interview with young Behm by your
reporter furnishes no ground for criminal
Intimacy. It is needless to say that the talk
occasioned by this unhappy report was long
and loud, and that the whole community
was completely torn up by it.
DISHONEST TURKS.
W/iy a Sation With the Finest Soldiers in
the World is Decaying.
Lieut. Gen. Valentine Baker Pasha, the
hero of the railway carriage assault and of
numerous exploits during the recent war in
Turkey, writes the following in his work on
"The War in Bulgaria:" "Why is it that,
in modern military history, Turkish cam
paigns have ever presented so many instan
ces of jealousy, incapacity, corruption or
treachery? Look at the Turkish private.
Where will you find a grander specimen of a
man? Brave, patient and enduring sober
and temperate ready to fight and die upon
a crust of bread and a draught of water: a
first-rate marcher, and innately possessing
the grand instinot of military intelligence
and battle power which, well organized and
employed, so surely leads to victory.
He is the very type of an ideal soldier.
Why do we so often find tbe reverse of
the picture in his commander? There can
be no little doubt that the results from the
deteriorating influences of the usual routine
of Turkish official life among the better
classes. A most intelligent Turkish officer,
holding a high official position, accounted to
me for the evil as fellows: *In Turkey
there exists no aristocracy,properly so called,
which may show an example of honor and
honesty to those immediately below them.
For this, to a considerable extent, the social
system is to be blamed. But we must seek
farther than this want of an aristocracy
among the better classes for that general syp
tem of corruption which is the bane of offi
cial life and of all prosperity. This kills
the patriotic feeling which alone can long
sustain the existence of a nation in times of
trial, and utterly debases the whole fabric of
social organization. For the origin of
the evil, we must look to the con
stant system of change in official positions
which seem to have become almost inherent
in Turkish government, and to the system
of protection which will so constantly raise
people of low and often menial posi
tion to the highest offices of the state. The
result is that men who have no fortunes of
their own, and whose tenure of office is like
ly to be limited, seek to make the most of
their opportunities by rapid and wholesale
robbery. From this springs a system of
bribery, extortion and general corruption.
Every man is trying to jostle his neighbor
out of some post, in order that he may se?
cure it, either for himself or for a friend
who may be useful. The State is a bad
paymaster, yet rapid fortunes must
be made. This once accomplished, and
the power to bribe being available, the of
ficial may rest pretty well assured that, even
if reverses come upon him he will not be
long left out in the cold. The result is in
tense jealously, distrust and intrigue! No
one unacquainted with Turkish life can be
lieve the extent to which this jealousy is
prevalent, nor how the desire to oust some
civil rival from his position seems to be the
all-absorbing idea of nine out of every ten
Turkish officials. The canker extends to
tbe army, more especially to the higher
ranks, and it is to this that we must trace
the conduct of Suleiman in the late cam
paign, as well as most the disasters that have
befallen the Turkish arms in previous ones."
KATIE HANSON'S FORTUNE.
Leaving Her Parents to Avoid a Dissolute
Lover—Cook, Roustabout, Soldier. Nurse.
N. Y. Times.
Twenty-two years ago Katie Hanson
disappeared from her home in Tioga
county, Penn. She was only eighteen
years of age and had grown up ameng
the lumber woods of Northern Pennsyl
vania. She had a predilection for mas
culine ways. She was expert with the
rifle and fishing rod, and spent much of
her time in the woods. Her family was
highly respectable, and she was more
than usually intelligent. In spite of her
dislike for the pursuits of her own sex,
she bore an unsullied reputation. She
left home one day with her rifle, which
her father had given her. She never came
back. Nothing was ever heard of her.
Her father advertised throughout the
country for traces of her, and visited all
the large cities in the state seeking for
tidings of her. It being known in the
neighborhood where the Hansons lived
that Katie had formed an attachment for
a wortless young man named Johnson,
and that her parents had positively for
bidden her having anything to do with
him, many believed that she had runaway
from home for that reason, to lead a life
of shame. Others held that she had either
accidentally shot herself in the woods, or
had become lost and died in some out-of
the-way part of the forest. Her parents,
after searching a year or two, gave her
up as dead.
Col. Grant "Wilson, ol Philadelphia,
was spending the winter, iu 1870, in Cuba,
During his stay there he met Major James
Hopkins, formerly of Ohio, who served
in General Thomas' division durijig the
late war. Major Hopkins owned a tine
plantation in the interior of the island,
and Colonel "Wilson accepted his invita
tion to become his guest during his stay
in Cuba. The Major's family consisted
of a handsome and dignified wife of about
forty and two interesting children.
"When Colonel Wilson left Cuba he was
intrusted with an errand in this country
by Mrs. Hopkins. On arriving iu New
York he started at once to Tioga county.
Penn., aud found the family of Elijah
Hanson. He caused great rejoicing by
the announcement that he knew their
long-lost daughter, Katie that she was
alive and well, antl preparing to pay the
old homestead a visit in the summer of
the present year. Katie Hanson and Mrs.
Major Hopkins were one and the same,
and the following was the strange story
she told to the friend she Yound in Colo
nel "Wilson.
The young man Johnson referred to
above was in the habit of accompanying
Katie Hanson on her hunting expeditions,
and being an excellent woodsman and
hunter, was a most congenial companion
to her. His family were dissolute and
ignorant. When her father ordered her
to cease associating with Johnson. Katie
rebelled against the order for a time.
The last day she left her house with her
rifle she concluded that the association
was not a proper one for her, but she could
see no way for its dissolution but by leav
ing home. She passed that night in the
woods, and the next day went to the cab
in of some hunters in the vicinity. The
hunters were not in the cabin, but she ap
propriated a suit of their clothes, and dis
guised herself in them. Her features
and short hair favored the deception.
She reached Dunkirk, N. Y., in her wan
derings. She secured the position of
cook in a lake boat running between De
troit and Buffalo. This position and life
were entirely to her liking.
One day in Buffalo she read iu «»ue of
the papers an advertisement offering a re
ward for any information of where she
was, and giving a minute description ot
her. This alarmed her, for she feared
that she would be apprehended and sent
home. On returning to Detroit, she gave
up her position and went to Cincinnati.
She found employment on an Ohio river
steamer. She continued on the steamer
until the breaking out of the war. No
one had ever suspected her sex. She de
termined to enlist, and joined an Ohio
regiment, and was in all the engagements
of General Thomas' division. In 186U.
she was promoted to sergeant in her com
pany. In 1864, her captain met her out
day as she was returning from stationing
a guard. He said to her that he had long
suspected that she was a woman, and de
manded to know if such was the case.
The charge wae so sudden and unexpec
ted that she lost her sell-possession, and
convicted herself by her reply. She
begged the captain not to reveal her se
cret, but he took her before General
Thomas and made the strange fact known
to him.
Katie was at once sent back to the
rear, and ordered to resume her prope
attire. She became a nurse in thehospir
tal. and soon had in her care her captain,
lie having been wounded in a skirmish.
Between the captain and the nurse, whom
he detected in the ranks of his company,
a strong affection formed. At the close
of the war they were married, the cap
tain, meantime, having been promoted
to the rank of major. Major Hopkins'
family was one of the best in Ohio, and
it refused to recognize his wife. She
had $900, which she had saved from her
earnings on the steamers. This was in a
Cincinnati bank. She drew it out, and,
with her husband went to Cuba. There
they prospered and were found by Colo
nel "Wilson in 1876. "Word lias been re
ceived from Mrs. Hopkins that she and
her husband and children will sail for
New York in August, and visit the home
she so mysteriously left nearly a quarter
of a century ago.
Life in Russia.
A St. Petersburg letter to the London
Times says: Now that the regime of mil
itary law has got into something like
working order, it may be possible to give
some idea of the aspect which things
really wear under his temporary system.
There have been many modifications of
and additions to the imperial ukase of
April 17, providing for the maintenance
of order. The minor dispositions and or
ders of the police are endless. Little
confidence is felt in the army. The cases
of insubordination and breaches ot dis
cipline brought before courts martial are
numerous. Most of the police orders con
cern the devorniks or house door porters,
who seem to be the only ones the govern
ment has any faith in. They number
about thirty thousand, and are selected
principally from the peasant or mechanic
class, and their withdrawal from regular
pursuits renders it difficult to procure
workmen, thus interfering with trade.
The devornik now holds sway in every
house and street in St. Petersburg, and
of every other large town. They are al!
ticketed with the name of the street and
the number of the house to which they
belong, and are being still further brought
into order by a special commission ap
pointed for the purpose. There are vague
rumors that many of them have been
talking among themselves of leaving
St. Petersburg in a body. At any rate
there is reason to suppose the authorities
see the inutility of forcing the household
ers to maintain such amass of idle men,
and are thinking of abolishing the sys
tem, or of reducing it to normal limits,
in favor of an increased police force.
Dealers in gunpowder and firearms are
subjected to great inconvenience. I know
a merchant who has been forbidden to
receive a consignment of powder now on
its way here. Very detailed and strin
gent rules regulate the private gunpowder
factories throughout Russia. The police
offices are full of arms taken from the in
habitants. It was found that there were
about two revolvers to each resident of
St. Petersburg. Still, with all the pres
sure of military law and the police and
the devornik regime, with all the oppor
tunities it gives to extra employes to
make hay while the sun shines, a very
large number of the people are not trou
bled at all. The strict enforcement of
the passport system in the provinces has
been productive, perhaps, of more trouble
than anything else, and of nc little dis
tress. Some of the factories are deprived
of half their workmen and these workmen
of the means of subsistence, by being ob
liged to travel fifty or sixty versts to
the chief town of their district in ordet
to take out the necessary passport. Even
the women and children, who formerly
were not obliged to have special passes,
are now compelled to submit to the same
rule. Resides this we hear of a nocturn
al cencus of the populations of Perm. Kieft
and Ivharkoff, causing no doubt a great
deal of annoyance. Altogether, the liv
ing under exclusively military law here
is perhaps worse than it was in Bulgaria
during actual war but although this
state of things does not sit lightly on
many persons, there are still many who
can find it in their hearts to enjoy them
selves and make merry at the opening of
the summer season. It is not a reign of
terror nor a state of siege. It is only a
state of military law, where one-half of
the population is set to watch the other.
A state of siege is a step further, and
we have not come to that yet.
