Cholera is raging in a village near Tumuseverin, in, Rournania^ causing’ an average of fifteen deaths daily. The most extensive ¡fire that oc curred! in St. Petersburg during the last seventeen years took place Monday in the Ligofka quarter. Over twenty building were destroy ed. Three prisoners in the county jail at Evanston, McBride, an In dian, Butler, a negro, and William Clark— overpowered Sheriff Pepper and escaped, with heavy shackles. McBride is a murderer, Butler a ravisher, and Clark a robber. M A. Bjvnton, the lawyer from Grand Haven, Mich , charged with having in his possession bonds of South Carolina alleged to have been stolen during Shertnatt’s march to the sea., was honorably discharged in New York yesterday. A Paris correspondent says: Miss Neilson's death is attributed to drinking a cup of iced milk, which a medical writer in a Paris journal savs is very indigestible. Miss Neibon was 12 hours in mortal agony. Her body was claimed at the morgue by an ancient naval offi cer. The L mdnn correspondent of the Jllanchisier Guardian savs the mea sure üi dissalisiaction felt in high quarters at the proposed marriage or Li-I/ B ir i itt C »aits and Mr. Bariiett is indicated in the refusal of the use of the Chapel Royal, Savoy, {or the cerepnonv, despite the great desire of the Baroness that it shall take place there. Jules Richard, formerly a drum mer in the 13th Infantry, and said to be a deserter, attempted to mur der Miss Marie Condeau, in New Orleati-s, who had refused to marry him. Entertaing the parlor where the young lady was, he drew a pis tol and shot her in the head near the ear. The ball caine out at the mouth, and the wound is pronounc ed dangerous. Richard then cut his throat -with a razor. The twelfth Annual Meeting of the Grand Circuit in Springfield began yesterday afternoon. The track was in fair condition.

At two o'clock yesterday morning 50 men rode up lo the jail, in F rt Scutt,Ka and called up Sheriff R«ck- er.ancl on the pretext of having a p 'is oner for hirn,, induced him to un lock thejail. They then seized toe Sheriff, locked him in a cell, took out Thos. Watkins, who was confin ed for horse stealing, and departed No tra.ee of the party or Watkins has been discovered. One theory is that Watkins has been lynched. Others think the mob were his friends, and took this means to res cue him. Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Rivers, living at Agnew station near Pitts burgh, Pa., discovered an unknown man m the >ard stealing grapes She shouted to him arid he immed iately ran off in the direction of the river A large dog and a gang of railroad men working near by pur sued and, driven to desperation the man took to the water to gain the other side, but finding that he was growing weak tui'ned back. His heartless pursuers would not permit him to return, and continued stron- ing him until completely exhausted he sank. The feeling runs very high,against the perpetrators of the outrage, B U R N E D T O JOE A T U , X S i x i f e n M o n th s o ld B o y o f T h o m a s W e g t o u o f E l b a . A sixteen months old son of Thomas Wegton, who lives in the northern part of the town of Elba on> what is known as the “ island” in Tonawanda Swamp, was burned last Saturday evening so seriously that he died the next day. The lit tie fellow was left asleep while his mother went to a neighbors.

At its quadrennial meeting, the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal church appointed lrom the Genesee conference a committee, consisting ol Rev. J. F. Wentworth, Rev. J E. Bills, Rev. A.. F Morev, Mr. E Ocumpaugh and Mr. L R. Bishop, to confer with a similar committee from the Central Nevy York conference consisting of Rev. Thomas Tancey. Rev. E. J. Her mans, Rev. William' Ready, Mr. Weeks and Hon David Deckei, in order to determine what proportion of the funds and ministerial charges should be tranlerred to the latter conferance in view of a change ol boundaries. Last evening's Roch ester Express says that the Genesee conference committee have refused to take any action in regard to that subject, but have begun proceedings in the courts to prevent the other committee from acting in the mat ter. On the m h inst, an action for a perpetuaL injunction to forbid the accomplishment of the prop-sed transfer was begu.i by C. L. Down, tiis counsel, J & Q. Van Voorhis. having obtained on that day a pre liminary injunction from Judge Rowley. If the transfer were made as pro posed, Mr. Down, a superanuated minister, like many others in simi lar circumstancus, would be depriv ed of a part of his allowances. His action is grounded on the allegation that the general conference did not really make a change in tl^e bound aries of the two conferences already named. The question was discuss ed, but, according to this complain ant, was not brought to a vole. The real question at issue seems to be whether the general conference did actually decide formally and re gularly to change the boundenes and thos to deprive the Genesee conference of a part of its territory fun Is md ministerial charges. The issi.t* of the suit will be awaited with considerable anxiety on the part of a large number of people. ----------- --------------- - Y e l l o w J a c k in N e w ITork. N ew Y o r k , Aug. 1 7 . — There is considerable excitement here over the death in Bellevue hospital of a Galveston, Texas, merchant, named Hippolito Reibuerg, of what is be lieved to be genuine yellow fever. He was admitted to the hospital on Saturday, suffering from what ap peared to be a severe case oi jaun dice. An autopsy was made after death, and the doctors are puzzled over the case. Dr. Janeway said the man certainly had many symptoms of yellow fever, and that death may have been caused by that disease. The board of coroners have decided that he came to his dea'h by yellow fever ----------- -------------- - I6F*Subscribe to the D aily N ews .

Last Friday’s N ews announced the marriage of Christian W Duts- ing, of Pavilion, to Miss Hattie Bater, of East Bethany, She cere mony I aving been performed by Rev. E. H Edson, of S^fford, the evening previous. Last night about o’clock, Duesing was arrested by Under Sheriff Griffis, on a charge of bigamy, the complaint having been preferred by Wm. H. Bater, a brother of the bride. Dnesing has been working in Bethany and vicin ity lor some time, having formerly lived in Attica. He begun paying attention to Miss Bater aboDt eight months ago. Just after this mar riage it was noised about among the Bethany people ’ that Duesing had another wife then living, but when he was approaahed. on tike subject he indignantly denied th e charge His protestations of innocence did not satisfy Miss Bater’s brother, and he concluded lo see if there was not “ something in it.” Accordingly he proceeded to Atiica yesierday, making inquiries which resulted in his find ing wife number one. Upon being questioned she said that she was married to Duesing in Attica, in July, 1878, and to prove this asser tion she produced the mairiage cer tificate. Her name was Anna Rolfe, before she married Duesing, and at that time she supposed she was a widow, her previous husband having been away from her six years. Duesing is said not to foe ir an en viable repatation, and it is evident that he is now in serious difficulty. He was taktn before Justice Lent this morning and commuted to jail until Monday when he will have an examination. ----------- --------------- D r u g g e d a n d fto li b o i . Yesterday vht peculiar action of a man in the A'tica Cemetery at traded the attention of some pass ers by who went to his assistance and found him in a somewhat daz ed condition. Enough was said by him, however, to lead thos listen ing to him to infer that he had been drugged and robbed uf |( 5 5 John Eastman was suspected c I being the assailant, and when arrested he had a watch in his pocket which he had been offering for sale about town. The unknown man’s condi tion was such 1 hat he was unable to give any coherent account of the occurrence or of himself, and East man was held until the case can more fully investigated. ---------- --------------- Joe Com es B a d e . Joe Henderson, the colored boy, whose face is familiar to the people of this village, has just returned home after an absence of a number months He went off with a man named Strangfield last Lpril, and since then has been having a rather jolly time of it, He has been in New York, at Coney Isl and, and at Saratoga most of the time, rid ing running horses. As a jockey he is quite a success, having been the rider of the winning horse in4a number of instances. -------------------------- F i r e in O a k lieid . The dwelling house of Geo. W. Haxton, a farmer, located north of Caryville, in the town of Oak field, was totally destroyed by file yester day afternoon The taouse was nearly new, having been built about three years ago. It was insured in the agency of Tarbox, Sherwin & Stewart, of this village for §700. The origin of the fire has nut yet trans pired. ----------- «-•> ----------- At 10 o’clock yesterday, morning a fire broke out on the east side n Main street south of the Odd Fel lows’ building in Eureka, Nev. It spread rapidly and traveled over substantially the same ground as the great fire of a year ago. The loss is even mor„e than then, as the build ings were belter and new»er. T E E GREAT S H 0 It.

Of a recent visit io All any, N .Y ., the Daily Journal of that city has this to say of the stupendous Lon don- circus, which is to exhibit in Batavia to-morrow,: “ T h e great London Circus has come and gone, and at least calculation eighteen thousand people improved the op portunity to see the most complete ring show, and one of the best dis plays of animals, ever exhibited here The prior announcements made by ibeananagcrs were fully carried out at both the afternoon and evening performances. In the big tent were arranged two rings, in which two distinct circus companies gave a'succession of bril liant displays of equestrianship and acrobatic skill, togaher with exam ples of intelligence shown by ani mals. While the trained oxeo were forming pyramids of themselves in one ring, the six trained elephants showed what they could do in the other. Miss Louise La Blanc wallt- a wire next, while a Japanese prince executed some wonderful juggling, jiraes Murray and Fred Runnels each did their great tumbling act in separate rings ai the same time. So it was with the riding, the feats of strength, and thetrapeze performers. Specialists in \each tine of the pro fession performed at the same lime in separate rings, giving an enter tainment that ccrta-inly was never ■before equalled in its line in this city. The principal features were the displays on the trapeze by the French f imily Dmme and the pret ty and gracrful Lawrence Sisters, e^ch of whom excelled any pre vious female performers in their line. The Liwrence Sisters, espec ially, executed some leats that a male gymmst would hesitate at at tempting. Tne brother acts of the Leonard and Snow Brothers were also very fine. The graceful riding ol Linda Jeal, and the famous fire hoop act which term nates her ap pearance, captured the immense au- dieuces and won ht-any applause. The boltonte leaping was also supe rior to anything yet shown here in point of the nu.iiber of perf inn is, twelve of the twenty four executing a double somersamt in rapid suc cession.* The menagerie tent was also a very attractive ft a’, u re and taken all in all, the show deserved the ccimmendation it has elicited both here and elsewhere.

Allen, who a.feiv weeks ago was about Batavia selling “ beauti ful o il paintings Tor $5'’ was arrest ed by Sheriff Griflis in Jamestown yesterday, on complaint of the pro prietor of the St James hotel. It seems that Allen forgot to pay his board biil as he did also numerous other little indebtednesses about town when he left, after a sojourn o f a week or more amongst us. He was exceedingly repentant and en deavored in numerous ways to ac- ccunt for his irregularities. The Sheriff brought him to Batavia and lodged him in jail. This morning he endeavored to make some ar rangement by which he could es cape lrom the meshes of the law, hut at the time this is written he had not been successful. E l b a ’ s Band. F e s t iv a l. The testi\al of the Elba Cornet Band last evening was a very enjoy able event, and it is estimated that nearly one thousand people from the surrounding country visited it. The tents, booths and green were lighted up brilliantly with Chinese lanterns, and the hotel, across the way, was given u p to dancing which principally ocupied the attention of the young people. The only out ol town band tn attendance was Jeffer son’s, of Attica. The festivities were kept up until after 3 o'clock this morning The n c e ip s were over $1 50.

Pierson master ot Pomona Grange, sei m a ;he grounds below Butter milk tads, and irvited the farmers to unite 'T ith the«everal grangers of G / n -.M 'j 1 .iuu-ty n an n l j fashion able pic nic, on tie 17th inst. The day proved to be one | irtit alarly fitted for an out di) or entc, t.uitment, and as we drove into the grove we saw it thickly dotted with the far mers sourronnded’ by their families, partaking of the good things pro vided for the occision. After din ner was over, musac by the Caledo nia Brass Band drew, the crowd to gether to listen- to the very eloquent and able address of Bro. Glass of Rochester, regarding the duties which farmers as a class owe to themselves. Jliter more music by the baid, and a song by the choir, Bro. Jfcnerson followed with a very brief atddress. We re gretted that Bro. Lazerby of Cornell University, and als-o lecturer of N. Y State grange* was detained on account of the -disconnection of trains su that he could make but a short address. I want to mention here that after Bro. Glass had co mmenced speak ing word came tn Bro. Pierson that parties from Le R o y had pitched this tent upon ilie grounds and commenced the slide o f lager beer. Bro. Pierson at oimce went to the parties and ordered them to leave ihe grounds, beat as they did not seem lo pay any attention to the matter, he finally \told them that he would give them just fifteen minutes to vacate the premises. He came back to the sUnJi and summoned some fifteen or twenty of the valiant and strong— wealing the badge o f Oatka Falls Grange— and returning to the place, informed the vender of lager that he had just two minutes left to pack up and start, or else his Hungs would be ip tcked up for him, anJ lie seeing tliat discretion was the better part of valor, hustled his things into the ragon and siarted homeward. I did not hear a single person speak of tli e matier but com mended the acti ii* of Bro. Pierson for his promptness in thus suppress ing the nuisance After the ad- dressess the ban*d p'ayed several airs, and the choir contributed their share to the etiEertainment, after which dancing, swinging; and other amusements kept “the multitude in good humor uniil it was time for their departure. We heard several gentlemen esti mate the number present at from ten to twelve hundred. G. W. P. X lie F u n e r a l o K M iss H o w e l l . The funeral oliMiss Fanny H o w ell, the victim ofthe Bath tragedy, was held yesterday afternoon. A correspondent to the Rochester Democrat says that long before the hour appointed aci immense con course of people assembled at the house, and by hal f-past 2 it was im possible to get near it. A hand somely embossed black velvet cas ket, containing tli e remains of the dead girl, rested ¡1*1 the parlor, and was covered withthe floral offerings of friends. At the: cemetery the work of the loving jp«arents and kind friends was plainly visible. The grave had been imeatly bricked up, and the sides were lined with ever grpens and rosesj, as was also the heap of dirt and gravel that had been removed froun it. Everything that loving hearts and willing hands could do, was done, and the re mains of the once happy and joyous girl went “ I n t o t h e g r a v e a s s o f t l y a s th e le a v e s O l l l i e s w e e t ro s e s 011 a n a u t u m n e v e , B e n e a t h t h e s i g h s ol th e w e s t e r n w i n d D r o p to t h e - , f a i t h . ” TOBACCO ani CIGARS, All the Best Brands V andusbn , 97 Main St.
