In the presence of the Cabinet, Diplomatic Corps, and prominent persons at the White House, on Eee. 10, President Arthur touched the electric button which set the machinery of the New Orleans Exposition revolving, a he attendance at New Orleans was large, and addresses suitable to the occasion were made, the speech of President Arthur, opening the show, being telegraphed from the White House, and read to the assemblage in the Exposition Building. A desperate fight between the local authorities of Dunegan Settlement, Ga., and a gang of moonshiners resulted in the death of two of the moonshiners. Five persons were burned to death in a Are at Newport, Ark. At a meeting of exhibitors in the Exposition building at New Orleans, it was unanimously resolved to demand the removal of Samuel Hullen, Chief of Installation, for certain unbusinesslike acts. Mr. Boss Brown, of Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, is dying from a strange case of blood-poisoning. Three weeks ago he had a quarrel with a negro lad and they fought. In the oourse of the struggle the negro caught Brown’s thumb in his teeth and bit it severely. Brown soon became sick and dellilous.
