OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY, Indications for the Ohio Valley Easterly to southerly winds, partly cloudy weather and areas of rain, nith slight changes in temperature and in the eastern portions rimig barometer. Why did Pprague Chase Conklingl Boston sustained a heavy loss by fire last night. Memphis has decided to proceed at once to disinfect the city. Yellow fever there is reported on the increase. Just as we expected. That Nam- gansett Pier business is charged to Ohio. The Chicago Times is guilty. Kino Cetywayo has given up furth er prosecution of the war in South Africa, and is willing to surrender, pro viding his personal safety is guaranteed.Thurman is coaxing Tilden to go down for a short visit to Narragansett Pier. And the aged Samuel winketh a wink of private understanding, but goeth not. . . Jl A Presidential candidate may sometimes be too deliberate. The tardiness of our senior Senator in coming to the help of the Ewing canvass in Ohio may result in placing him as The Late Mr, Thurmau. There was a collision near Philadel phia last night between an excursion aud a freight train, which resulted in the loss ot several lives. A miscon struction of orders seems to have been the cause. Austria has a new Cabinet, which was turned out of the shop yesterday, Count Andrassy's reaignntriou has been accepted by the Emperor, but he will not step down and out until his suc cessor is "appointed and qualified." We arc informed by cable from En gland that delegates representing two hundred thousand miners met at Man cheBtcr on Wednosday, and passed reso lutions favoring emigration to the United States. It seems that they un derstand the situation here, and do not expect that they will all find employ ment as miners; but they have heard and read of our cheap lands, and the wonderful resources of bur great empire beyond the Mississippi. There many of them propose to go and cast in their lot with the Yankees, Germans, Scaudi navians and Irish, where they can enjoy the luxury of being landed proprietors something dear to the heart of every Briton, though so few of them arc land owners in their native country. It is singular what an epidemic has been created among Democratic states men by Ewing's candidacy. Henry B. Payne's health will not allow him to participate. Tliiirnian lias to restore his exhausted energies by tea parties in Connecticut. Sayler's thumb requires the fino climato of our Pacific coast, Pendleton does not feel able to endure the rude labors, of the campaign before some time in September. John G. Thompson has seized his gripsack uud flitted away, and wo wot not where this man hath gone. Bishop lingers at watering places. Rice mourns in h: wigwam. Cunvcrso alone is active- Converse is terribly healthy. No won dcr Ewing poor follow 1 loses his tem per, and calls everybody liars, thieves and hypocrites. The Democratic managers at Wash Ington are General Chalmers, who as isted Forrest at Fort Pillow, and Major b State ImtraaL I'llit.-: 11 mil, I'enrl nnl ('Impel Sta. Banks, of Jeff. Davis's stall'. They make utlio selection of speeches for the Ohio canvass, subject to occasional miscarriages on account of assistants who cannot read, and who have sent some good Republican documents under Ewing s frank. General Boynton, the accurate and trustworthy special of the Gazette, informs us that there are twenty-six documents selected by these able instructors of public opinion, for distribution in Ohio. General Boynton shows from the record that one of these documents, (purporting to be the speech by Bully Blackburn, in which he announced the determination of the Democracy to "wine out the last veBtige of your war measures from the statute book,") has been softened and modified by two suc cessive and cumulative amendments, calculated to adapt it to the less ardent climate of Ohio. This Blackburn, it ill be remembered, is the Kentucky Congressman who was supported by General Ewing for Speaker, who is also brother of the Yellow Fever evangel ist recently elected Governor by the Democracy of Kentucky. Another document is the "Soothing Syrup Effort" of the ponderous Davis, of Illinois, whose value as a fertilizer would be incalculable, if ho could be ipread out over the late Michael Sulli- vant's farm. But the Democratic managers have shown remarkable tenderness toward Seuator Thurman. General Boynton says : Instead of the rash speech of Senator i hurman, made at the close ol the forty-fifth Congress at the time that Mr. Beck was announcing the Democratic position, and in which Mr. Thurman took the ground that Congress had full right under our Constitution to withhold supplies unless the rresiuent consented to a "redress of grievances," the commilleo has seen ht to substitute a twenty-two page speech upon the jurors' test oatli'and the it;nn i it. .i.fi. it. n'i.... argues at length against any right exist ing in Congress to exercise supervision over tho election of its own members. While this speech of Senator Thur man, which attracted JNational attention is carefully withheld from prominence in the Ohio campaign, a speech of the Hon. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, had been put in its place. Among the additional documents is a long and dreary State Eights speech by Eaton of Connecticut; -a forty page peech from Ben Hill, intended to prove that the Republican party is the disunion party, and that the Democracy went into rebellion to save the Union; two speeches of Dan. Voorhees; two of Ewing; and so on. BY MAIL AND TELEGRAPH. A reunion o( the soldiers of the North west will be held at Aurora, Illinois, for three days next week, beginning on Wednesday.

Prospect of Trouble Between Turkey and Greece. Revival of the Iron Trade in England. Severe Famine Reported in Siberia. GREAT BRITAIN. London, Aug. 14. The nouse of Lords has adopted the Commons's amendments to the Irish University bill, making the provision for fellowships, scholarships and other ordinory endowments, similar to that University. The House of Commons has finally passed the bill enabling banks of unlimited liability to become banks of limited liability, and authorizing such banks to increase the nominal value of their shares. A Beverc thunder storm yesterday damaged the crops in the Midland counties.Bullion in the Bank of England increased 36,000 the past week; proportion of reserve to liability, 56 15-18 per cent. The Bank of Bengal has increased the rate of interest and discount from five to six per cent. The Times, in its financial article, says: It is not possible to say decidedly what caused the slightly increased firmness in the money market Tuesday. It is ascribed in some quarters to apprehensions that large quantities of gold may bo withdrawn from the Bank of England for New York, but it would take a most notable demand to deplete both our stores and those of the Bank of France. Still the effect of Biich withdrawal would be much more marked now than in ordinary times. Many borrowers now cnioy very limited credit. The banks will not lend freely and a very slight extra demand immedi ately reacts on tiie market in an exaggerated fashion. Everything is stagnant and to all appearance may remain so for some weeks to come. The price of silver is nominal. It is believed business could be readily effected on Austrian account at 61 jd per ounce, but should any Indian demand arise, the price would probably go. still higher, and ac cording to the last quotation of Indian Council bills o.'ii per ounce would more nearly represent the value of bar silver. A conterence ol delegates representing two hundred thousand miners, was held Manchester yesterday. MacDonald, President of the Conference, pointed out that there was some opening for miners in the United States, as during the recent IcpresBion in the mining industry in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, a number of men sought other employment. A resolution was unanimously passed in favor of emigration to the United States. silver is quoted at ol Jd per ounce. Minister Welsh has gone to Osborne, probably to present to tho Qnccn his letters of recall. Two of the principal cotton manufac turing firms of the Dalcdistrict, Glasgow, have given notice of a five per cent, re duction, twenty per cent, since the begin ning oi the 'depression. Ihese are the only mills running on full time. It is teared tho rest ot the mulB, running only four days per week, will follow, reducing e operatives to the lowest condition. In consequence of the active American demand, every large iron making district in the kingdom is showing unmistakable signs of revival. The House of Commons has committed Charles E. GrisBclli to Newgate prison until the prorogation of Parliament, for evading the warrant of the Speaker for Ins arrest. He will be liable to arrest at the next session on the original charge. Liverpool, Aug. 14.

The Standard's Berlin correspondent believes that the Ultramontanes will emerge much weaker from the new elections, owing to their support of Prince Bismarck's economic policy.

The Times s lierlm dispatch reports that ueneral von Manteuttel will be ap pointed Commander-in-Chief of all the troops in Alsace-Lorrain.

He then left the house, but was arrested a lew minutes later and locked up. Aside irom the lact that Mrs. liaber is very weak from the effect of the injury received, she was extremely reticent and would give no particulars of the affair or tell what the quarrel between her and her husband was about. She waa sent to the hospital. Baber has made a statement since his arrest, to the effect that he formerly lived in Richmond, Va.; that the young woman he shot to-night is not his wife, but he has lived with her as such off and on several years; that he wished to marry ncr, out tne old woman (her mouierj would not consent; that the old woman forced her daughter to prostitute herself for money as a source of revenue, and that she was vicious and vile; that when he left the house a few days ago, it was in consequence of a quarrel with Mrs. Schoudler about her daughter, he wishing to marry the latter, but the old woman refusing to give her consent; that he went to the house to-night under the impression and believing a man was there with the daughter, and if bo lie wanted lo know it; that when he entered the room in which the women were, Mrs. Schoudler drew a pistol on him and he shot her; that he did not intend to shoot the daughter, but after the first shot was fired, he heard a noise in the adjoining room, the door of which opened, and thinking he bow o man, he raised his pistol hastily to defend himself, when it was discharged unintentionally, the ball striking Ihe young woman in the breast as above stated. He regrets this part of the affair very much, but rather glories over the killing of the old woman, and says he iB willing to hang for it. The child mentioned above is now said not to belong to either Baber or the young woman. Frightful Railroad Accident. Philadelphia, Aug. 14. A collision occurred on the Atlantic City narrow gauge railroad this afternoon, between an excursion train of nine cars and a freight train from Atlantic City, and resulted in tho death of five persons and the slight injury of two othere.

The tine organ near which he fire broke out is ruined and the building very thoroughly gutted. The blaze aoon assumed proportions of an extensive conflagration, and the proximity to the Parker House caused great alarm among the guests, nearly all of whom had retired, but made rapidly ready for n speedy exit.

Special to the Ohio State Journal. London, Ohio, Aug. 14. Ex-Governor Dennison addressed the Foster and Hick- enlooper Club at the Court Houbo to night to a crowded audience. Many la dies and leading Democrats were present. He first successfully showed from statis tical facts the absurdity and fallacy of General Ewing's greenback scheme and misstatement respecting our debt. Next the Democratic idea ot d,oing away with the larger bulk of the army until coming into power, when they will reorganize on a larger scale, with ex-Confederate of ficers in command, when a demand for rebel pensions and the payment of the Confederate bonds out of the United States Treasury will be made, with an armv to sustain such demands if refused He was debarred by wont of time from more than alluding to the further purpos es of the future Democracy in the South when in power, respecting the annull ing of the Fourteenth amendment, He made candid appeals to the Repub licans and Democrats to give heed and investigate ere it might be too late. The Governor returned on the nine o'clock train, but we are assured that his visit and ideos advanced will develop new trains ol thought by many that may result in much good to our cause. Mr. John Phifer, one of our old citi- zens, a farmer, probably seventy years of age, died last evening from paralysis. He was sick but two days. He was a mem ber of the Methodist Church, and highly respected and connected. THE SPRAGUES. Return of Mrs. Sprngne lo Narrngnu- ctt Reported Stormy Meeting Be tween llusbnnd and Wife. Providence, R.

It appears that tho party of colored men who paused through East St. Louis last night, was got up by the merchants and planters of dillerent places in Mississippi, with view of giving such negroes as wish to migrate to Kansas an opportunity to go there, lodge ot the country for them selves, and if they like it stay, but if they dislike it tncy can return, the expense o the trip being scarcely more than nomi nn . ft seems that many planters apprehend that after the present cotton crop is picked, there will be an extensive exodus ol negroes irom the south. Somool them therefore got up this excursion under the belief that the representative colored men, who might go on it, would be dis appointed with Kansas anil return, and their unfavorable accounts would have a strong influence with the negroes gen erally and prevent any migratory move ment. Quite a large number of whites who took advantage of the cheap rates obtained, also lomed the party, and considerable number of them havo gone on to Kansas, Snle of n NowKpnpcr. Tehre Haute, Aug. 14.

There is a mystery about tho American lakes. Luke Erie is only 60 to 70 feet deep, but Luko Ontario is 592 feet deep, 230 feetbolow the tide-level of the ocean, or as low as most parts of the Gulf of St. Lawrence; and the bottoms of Lakes Huron, Michigan, and Superior, although tho surface is much higher, are all from their vast depths on a level with tho bottom of Ontario. Now, as the discharge through the river Detroit, after allowing for the probable portion carried off by evaporation, doeB not appear by any means equal to the quantity of water which the three upper lakes receive, it has been conjectured that a subterranean river may run from Lake Superior, by the Huron, to Lake Ontario. This conjecture is not impossible, and accounts for the singular tact that salmon und herring are caught in all the lakes communicating with the St. Lawrence, but no others. As the Falls of Niagara must have always existed, it would puzzle the naturalist to say how these fish got into the upper lakes without some subterranean river; moreovor, any periodical obstruction of the river would furnish a not improbable solution of tho mysterious flux and reflux of the lakes. Men Who Advertise on Fences. It is the general testimony of success-full business nion that they have realized their best returns in the way of custom from advertising in good newspapers of large circulation, and have got little or no benefit from the money expended in wall-posters, hand-bills, circulars, advertising on fences, etc In fact, all these irregular modes of advertising; are looked upon by the public as sensational clap-trap, and do not inspire the confidence that a busincss-liko,clearly-stated advertisement in the columns of a respectable jiapcr docs. On this point tho Binghnmton (N. Y.) Republican well soys: "As an instance of the value of 'fence advertising,' it may bo mentioned that of fifteen firms whose advertisements appear on the fences and barn9 on a certain road leading out of this city only three arc now in existence, and one of tlicm has changed its location. There is a ghastly sarcasm in an invitation to purchase goods at his establishment by a man who has lain in his grave for two years." Moral: If you wish to die or do a losing business, advertise on a fence. If you wish to live and get rich, advertise in a respectable newspnperthat has n good circulation among people who buy your goods. 1 lr
