New Bedford, Mih June 6. A terrible tragedy occurred in thia city juat before noon today in the outfitting store of Phillips A Slocum, 18 South Water street. Slocum was tittinir at his desk in ihe count* tng room making an entry in the ledger when Charles Fora came from the back room, leaned against the railing dividing the count log room from the front aa if about to apeak, but without speaking drew a revolver and fired one shot which entered Slocum’s head at the hack and base of the skull and he fell from the stool to the floor and must have died almost instantly. Immediately after this Foss went to the back room and putting the muzzle of the pialol to the right aide of his head at the temple pulled the trigger and fell to the floor. The pistol was held an close that his forehead was singed and the bones fractured. There were two men and a boy in the store at the time of the tragedy hut they did not at Brat realize what waa done, so quickly it passed. When they recovered from their as tonishment and horror thev at once sent for physicians, and Drs. Mackie and Brownell came. Slocuiu was lifted and carried to the counter and it was at first thought that he showed signs of life but on the arrival of Dr. Mackie ail efforts to bring him to were shown to be futile. Foss is still living but is uncon sci"Us and cannot survive. Dr. Taylor, medical examiner, was immediately sum moned and viewed the bodiea. Slocum was 65 years old and leaves a wife and six children, three boyj and three girls, some of whom are grown up. He has been in business here about 20 years as an out fliter, b ing at one time associated with Leander Brightman. Fots is about 40 years old, belongs in Vermont and has sailed from this port a number of voyages. He came here this lime about a week ago and Slocum was trying to ship him as a cooper and car penter on the bark Wave. Foss is dissipated and has been under the influence of liquor the most of the time he has been here. He asked Slocu'n when he came here to ship him to Hudson’s Bay for he wanted to die if he could not be cured of the curse of drink He had asked Slocum several times this forenoon it he was not go ing to ship him soon, but did not seem to be ill-nature l, although distraught from the uae of liquor. Foss has traded for several years with Slocum and it (is not known that they evi r had any trouble. Charles Fuse w as otherwise known as D. T. Sherhurn. His home wag in New Hamp shire, not Vi rniont, and his age was 35 not 40. The muni, rer is now d-'ad. i New BeuFOKD. Mass., June 7. The public interest in Saturday’s murder and suicide ia unabated and many stories of the cause of the murder are in cir culation. The body of Chat. Foss alias I). T. Sh rburn, murderer and suicide, still re mains at the undertakers awaiting word from his family in New Hampshire. Foss came here with a team from Tauton, Wednesday afternoon last, anil stoppod at a house of ill fame. His valise came by train and waa cneckt d from Boston, and Foss dazed by liqu ir and chloral got off the train by mi-take at Taunton and lured a man to bring him here Wednesday afternoon. He offered the woman who ket ps the house 95 if she would send for Slocum to come there and said lie wanted l.im to ship him for a whaling voy age. Foss said, “If he (Slocum) don’t ship me, I will fix him, for I have paid him enough money.” Foss stayed at this house over night and mutt several doses of chloral and seemed wild, saying people were alter him trvtng to kill him. Foss was in this city two y< ars ago and at that litne tried to suicide hy taking a large dose of chloral, buthis life was saved by a cousin ot the man he murdered. IN TI1K NORTHWEST. Piisnners Escaping from llig Hear—Ren. Middleton ou the Trail ol the Indian. W?nnepeg, June 6. Lieut. Gov. Aikens this evening received the following dispatch. Camp Six Miles Pitt, Via Battleford, June 6. Kev. and Mrs Q linney, Mr. Curnan and two halt breeds, wno have been prisoners of B g Bear, have escaped with the assist ance of friendly Indians and are now in Gen. Sirange's caiup 12 miles from here, from which they have just come. Mrs. Quinaey informs me that none of the women have been subjected to indignities of any kind. Gen. Strange's force has come into contact with Big Bear, who was in a very strong po sition, snd after a very slight engagement, in which he had three men wounded, fund ing the country impassable they withdrew a few miles and camped. Yesterday, on mv way to Fort Pit', I received information from Gen. Strange that Big Bear's band has broken up virtually into two parties and that he still has McLean and other prisoners. I am going to follow both trails with all my mounted men and hope to catch him yet. (Signed) Fred Middletoh.

Pope-The rint Seirice Commissioner Denies That Theie Ha* Keen a 4'nlli-ioa—Dffirial Older from Secretary Whitney—Report of Gen. Kiiukerhoff, Member ol the State Board ol Charities of Ohio. Washington, June 6. The following detpatc dated Whipple Barracks, Arizona, June 2. has been received from Gen. Pope: ‘‘Captain Smith reports from Gia river, Sapilo, May 29, that the In diana are in very rough mountains north of him, and Chatto, chief of the scouts, with 40 of hi* men, struck their rear guard and «a< af,er them. In another despatch from the same place he says the main body of the In dian women and children are scattering through the mountains east of Buck Creek, north of the Gila; that Cbaito and his scouts are hunting them, and he remains in the vicinity until he bears from Chatto, and that a party is raiding east ot him. A despatch from Gen Crook at Bayard yesterday, saya they have no definite news from the scouting parties or Indians.” Commissioner Eaton sayi there is no foun dation whatever for the rumors published that there have been collision* between the civil service commission and the heads of departments, and that an unfriendly spirit hag been manifested on the part ol the latter, especially on the part of the secretary of the interior. Washington, June 7. Secretary Whitney has issued an official order practically prohibiting naval bands from entering into competition with local bands in the matter of furnishing music for entertainments and other pnrposea It is argued that government bands can afford to make lower rates than private organizations, and that therefore for them to compete as organizations would be uafsir. No objection is made to individual members of marine bands obtaining outside employment, as then they musr depend on their individual merits as musicians. Gen. R. Brinkerhoff, for some years a member of the State board of charities of Onio, and while so engaged visited all the asylums, pri-ona anil reformatories of the North and West, has just returned from the South, where he has been making a tour of inspection of similar institutions in Geogis, Alabama, Florida and South Carolina. He found everywhere except in Georgia that the vie ous system of leasing copvicis was rapid ly falling into distavor. He visited many jails and found them no worse than those of the North, which for these “schools of vice” was the best he could conscientiously sav. He visited several industrial schools, both charitable and reformatory, and found them admirably managed. The several insane asylums were under the control of humane, intelligent and cultured officials, and that at Puscaiousa, Ala., was worthy- of unbounded praise. This institution, Gen. Brinkerhoff said, would staid in comparison fully abreast of the half dozen leading institutions of the North. Its head was a close student of all the problems of the management of the in sane, and had brought his institution up to the highest point of efficiency. Not a straight jacket, crib, muff, strap or like instrument for restraint, or more properly, perhaps, for torture of the insane, was to be found. The doors were wipe open, and no inmate was conscious of any restraint, thongli always under the eye of experienced keeptrs. The secret of success in the management of the insane by this method was in finding congen ial employment for each patient. Many in stitutions in the N«rh had entered upon this course of practice, but not more than half a dozen of the largest ones had made greater progress than the Alabama asylum, while in great majority the resort was still had to an cient instruments of restraint for violent cases. In the matter of finding congenial and sometimes profitable employment for in sane females, the Alabama institution has distanced all the others. Among novelties he saw there were half a dozen old spinning wheels in full operation, this employment having been found the best suited to the men tal condition of some of the patients. BANK FAILURE. The Mitchell Bunk of Mitchell, link., Closes Its Door*—A Plucky Cashier. Mitchell, Dak., June 7. A few days ago the bank of Mitchell closed its doors, and the assignee is now ready to report, but the depositors are making ar rangements with the president for a settle ment without the routine of court. Havssen, cashier of the White Lake branch, when ordered to close the bank, he refused, and said he had no funds belonging to the Mitchell bank, but on the contrary the Mitchell bank owed the White Lake branch #11,609. He further said that the money belonging to his White Lake depositors would not and should not be swallowed up in the Mitchell bank failure. Saturday, Judge Wulfing, attorney for the assignee, went to White Lake to take pos session, and was informed that he could not enter the bank. He posted a notice that the bank was closed, but Cashier Hays«en and Assistant Cashier Ryan were present with their depositors and tore otf the notice and proceeded to open the bank. They posted guards at the entrance and began paying off their depositors, whereupon Judge Wulfing leaped over the counter and ordered a halt. Ryan then informed the crowd that a trespasser was inside the gate. No sooner were the words uttered than the attorney was pitched over the counter and out tmo the street. Havssen continued to settle with the depositors until the last one was paid in lull, then he locked the bank and is carrying the key in his p >cket. “The Chiuese Mu-t Go.” New York, June 7.

Woodford called the assembly to or der and Assistant Bishop Henry C. Potter of fered prayer. Then the tinging societies sang the "Pilgrim Fathers,’’ alter which President Beekman. of the Park commission ers. delivered a brief address of welcome. The figure stands on a granite pedestal It represents a tVDicsl pilgrim, clad in a quaint costume of his time, loaning upon an old fashioned flint lock gun and gaxtng tow ard the west, as it in search of a foe. The face, while solemn in expression, is far from ascetic. The figure is of bronxe and of much better workmanship than that of any other statue in the Park. Daniel F. Appleton, aa chairman of the statue committee, presented the gift to the New England Society in a few well chosen words. Gen. Woodford accepted it in a three min u'e speech, and transferred it to tie city of New York. In the necessary absence of the mayor, Alderman Sanger accepted it. The Pilgrim Cnorus was sung and the event of the day followed. This was Geo. William Curtis’ commemorative address. Mr. Curtis hail never appeared to belt* r advantage. His spe< ch was acmdarly ano brilliant, and in the delivery, effective. He was many times interrupted by applause. _i A DIG FAILURE. Ex-Gov. Hole ol New Hampshire, Sus pends with Liabilities a Million Dol lars-A Dig Shrinkage in One Year. Boston, Mass., June 6. A Concord, N. H.. special says Ex-G >v. Hale, of New Hampshire, whose residertv is in Keene, has tailed with large liabilities. His house in Keene and hia interest in the Keene Chair Company were atiached on Thursday for claims amounting to over $100, 000. It is reported that his liabilities mry reach $1,000,000 The attaching parties were Mr. Parks, ex-Gov. Hale’s agent, and several of the National Banks of Keene, three of which are creditors, the Citizens’ for $10, 000, the Keene for $15,000 and the Ashuelnt for $15 000. It is not known to what extent the liabilities are secured. (Several other banks in various parts of New England are understood to hold Hale's paper to a great' r or less extent. Parks' claim is for $30 000. It is reported that Senator Blair and Frank Jones of New Hampshire are among the chief endorserwof ex-Gov. Hale’s paper. It is said that one year ago Hale's state ment of his financial standing as filed with Brad-treel’s agency over his own signature showed him to be worth $700,000 with liabili ties of $100,000. The assets in this c ty are very light, consisting only of Hale's residence and the land and water privilege of ihe chair factory. It is rumored tlmt Hal. ’s invest ments for two or three years past have been very successful and that he has lost heavily in railroad enterprises. Although the fail .re is said to be not a surprise to a tew bu-iness men it has created a profound impression KkRNE. N. H June 6. Twenty attachments, amounting to $277, 000 have been placed on the property ot ex Gov. Hale and the Keene Chair Company. BEECHER’S DISCOURSE. He Givea the Third Lecture on the Evo lution of the Bible. Nrw York, Jane 7. Beecher’s sermons upon the “Evolution of the Bible,” are being published in a pam phlet form for the benefit of the Brooklyn Home for Consumptives. The third was de livered today. In the course of the sermon Beecher said The sacred scriptures of the Old and New Testament have intimate relation with the highest moral consciousness and the pro toundest religious experience of the best men. To take away that influence would meet with a resistance from all that it best in the best men. The Bible hat value of its history. Di vine spirit gave it authority and purpose, without authorizing its dates and inaccura cies. Much was needful for its evolution and production. What harm can evolution work to the Bible’s inward life? What of its miracles are deterred? What of its con flict and early astronomy was erroneous? The six literal davs of creation are not ten able and are not held.except by the ignorant, dishonest. What if the poem of E ten is a legend? God is the same humanity. The needs of men are the same and the supply for these needs is the same. The Bible is a record of the effect of G id’s spirit on human customs a record of how the Divine mind raised men from barbarian ism and unfolded the treasures of life and thonght. It was the human race that was inspired. The Bible was lived first and afterward re corded. Many things in the Bible are le gends and are not true although precious. If plenary inspiration is true, then the Mormons are right, tor the Bible teaches us polygamy, and thev beli ve it like thunder. So slaverv was authorized by the Bible but men outgrew its conditions. There is an as cending scale in the Bible to loftier ideas and nobl.-r conceptions. Inspiration is the impulse by which the findings out of men, in the experiment of hu man life, were recorded by men able to con centrate in words the meaning of what had been lived.

No progress hss yet been made during the past week in allaving the disseittions of the British cabinet. T ie government remains on the verge of disruption. Mr. Cnsrab-r lnin, ambitious to bis hi me the Premier, and Sir Pnas. Duke, immutably radical, still stubbornly retus-s to assent to Gladstone's announced policy of renewing the Irish crim. t act. It was lime the grand nld man ye-terdav r. treated from his original position iu the question Ur enough to admit that the government now meant only to renew the bill, modified; but the rebels in the cabinet inaist that there exiau in Ireland today no reason for iu renewal in any form. While neither Chamberlain nor Dilke have stated in public that they wilt resign if ihe Premier persists in the renewal policy, it is generally under stood that both aciuilly threatened to do so. The modtflsd policy announced yesterday that the prime minister in any wise had altered the quarrel in the cabinet, has in tact extended to other matter*. The radical min ister* are just as much opposed to the plan of electoral campaign lormulated for carry ing the election by the whig metnb r«, as the renewal of the crimes act. The number of ministerial rebels on this point is larger even than that arranged against the renewal. Chamberlain, chairman of ihe board of trade, Dilke, president of the local government board. Geo. Trevelyan, John Bright’s suc cessor as chancellor of Duchy Lancaster, and G. J. bhau Lefevre, postmaster general, all insist on the radical platform. These gen tlemen agree that the principal planks in the liberal platform should be, first, reform in the constitutional House of Lords, reducing the number of hereditary peers and increas ing the number ot life tines. Second— The reform of the law on entail, which will teml towards division rather than the concentration of land titles third—General reform i» the land laws of Great Britain to the end lint the number of holdings in lee be increased and titles to land be more easily obtained.
