The Republican's Socorro, N. M., special says: "At a Christmas festival held here on Christmas Eve. several Mexicans created a disturbance, which waa quieted by A. M. Conklln, editor of the Sun. Shortly allerward, while Conklin and wife were leaving the church two Mexicans sclM-d him by the arm, whole a third fired three shots, killing Conklln instantly. His assailants lied to a small town in the vicinity, where they are guarded by 2,000 Mexicans. A Luve posse of Americans, well armed, intend to pet the murderers if they have to Eght for them." A Young: Lady Shot by Her Lover. Special to the Sentinel: LooANsroBT, Ind., Pec. 21. Last night, at near the hour of 12, a startling attempt to murder m made on the outskirts of the West Side by Bayard Da'ly, a Tan Handle brakeman, who runs on a passenger train between this city and State Line, III. Dally has for a long time been paying marked attention to Miss Anna Berkley, who lives with her mother, near the Eel River shops, on the West Side. The result of these attentions was an engagement of marriage, which was to have been consummated within the coming three weeks. Last night Daily went over to see Miss Becklty. and as he entered the premises he met one Carsingcr. The sight of this fellow, so near his dulclnea, enraged Dally, and he soon became engaged In a stormy racket with the object of his wrath. During this quarrel Daily's anger toward Carslnger became so marked that he ran into the house and demanded of Lis betrothed the surrender of a dirk belonging to him, which he had given into her keeping. Fearing that Daily would do some terrible act if given the weaion, the girl refused to deliver it up. This enraged Daily more than ever, and in an excited v ice, he told the girl that unless she gave him "iie knife at once he would .-hoot her. Believing the threat idle, the girl ulll refused, and Daily, without another m word, drew the weapon and tired, the ball striking Miss Beckley above the right eye, and knocking her to the iloor. Dally leveled his revolver as if to tire again, but the girl, with herculean strength, staggered forward and knocked it from his hand. Saying, "I'll ünbh you," Daily seized the girl by the throat and attempted to strangle her, when the mother interfered, and the two women managed to make him loosen his grasp. He then left the house, and was afterward arrested at his boarding house. The li? which Daily fired from his revolver struck Miss Beckley above the left eye, passed around between the skull and scalp, and came out three inches above the right ear. The wound Is not considered dangerous. Daily's murderous acts were the result of jealousy in seeing Carsinger leaving the house of his betrothed. A Strange Case. Special to the Sentinel: Franklin, Ind., IVc. 26. The old adage that the course of true love etc., has been again excmplitkd, this time the iron hand of the law interfering to ripple the J.00I of congjugal bliss. On Christians evening Esquire Allen Sexon was hastily called out of the Baptist Church, where he was tousling his shins by the fire, and enjoying the juvenile festivities as truly as if he had once again returned to the Innocent days of boyhood, when writs and fines and pairs -o" licenses were a sealed book to him. Those 4 nearest the door, knowing from the 'Squire's jovial smile that something good was "on the striug," followed him, and were the astonished witnesses of a wedding under the gas-light on the street at the corner of the churchyard. The parties were Jefferson -Glover, of this place, aud Miss Louisa Scott, of Shelby County. The knot was quickly tied, and the merry sleigh-bells took on a new tone to celebrate the union of two souls. But the.next day 'Squire Sexson's aid was again Invoked this time to interrupt the bliss of the cooing lovers he had made so happy the night before, and Glover was torn from his bride upon achargeof perjury in falsely swearing that his dulcinea was of legal age to do her own marrying. The result was that the newly manufactured bridegroom was turned over to Sheriff Xeal in default of bail, and now spends his honeymoon in jail. And to-day William Kobbins, who attested to her age, was drawn into the toils on the same charge, and, waiving examination, went to keep Clover company. The prospect is that somebody is going to invest largely in penitentiary stock, and all because Glover would gej married In defiance of the statute in such cases made and provided. If any County In the State can turn out a' more business-lite Justice thau "Squire Sexson one who can marry a man one day and arrest him next for it let it show up. Arrest of a Murderer Funeral. Special to the Sentinel: Gbke.sbiro. Ind., Dec. 23. Marshal Jancs demons, of this city, arrested Austin Fleetwood, alias George Farrell, near Morristown, Shelby County, Indiana, yesterday, charged with the murder of one William Meflbrd. near Georgetown, Ky., seven years ago. demons has been on this man's trail for five years, and at lat has succeed ed In bogging his game, demons left here this morning with Fleetwood for Kentucky. Your correspondent had a lengthy interview with him at the depot this morning. He confessed to me and fcoveral others tfmt be was the man wanted J that he had killed his man In self-defense, and was ready and perfectly willing to be taken to his old lunac and answer to the charge of having taken a fellow being's life.. The story that he told is as follows: In the spring of lS'i he attended a country dance and picnic near Georgetown. dur ing which he became involved in a quarrel with the Garwood brothers. Mifford, who was doing duty that day as a Special Constable, approached the group, presented a pistol to Fleetwood's head and ordered aim to desist or he would shoot him. Fleetwood suddenly drew his own gun and fired at MLTord, who dropped dead. Fleeing from an excited crowd, he arrived in Shelby County and assumed the name of Farrell, and has since re sided there, and had bought him a nico farm, paying the last payment on it about two hours before he wa-i arrested. ...... Death of lie-r. Dr. Chapin. Xr.w "York, Dec. 27. The Evening Poet aays k. it. i naptn aieo yesteroay. The friends r,f Dr. Edwin H. Chapin have known for some time that there was no hope of dm recovery, out the intelligence oi his death will nevertheless be received with regret. Dr. Chapin was born in Union Village, Washington County, New York, on the 2th of December, lslt. His parents were natives of New England, and while he was in his bo v hood they removed to Bennington. Vt. He received his academic edu cation at the Bennington Seminary, and then returned to this State, beginning studr for the law in a lawyer's ottice in Troy. Without completing nu legal studies, ne soon removed 30 Utlca, where he became assistant editor of the Magazine and advocate, then the leading journal of the Universalist denomination. In 1 7, when twenty-tor years oi age, ha was ordained in L'tica to the UalTersallit mitntstry. H at once began preaching, and accepted a call to bcwiae

pastor of the Independent Christian Church of Richmond. V. tnjriety crapnwl both of L'nlversalists and Cnitarians. In ls-to he accepted the charge of the L'ni verbalist Church In Charlesston, Mass. Six years later he accepted a call from the Schnl Street Culver-alist rhurch of Boston, becoming a collesuc of Kose Ballon. In lM-s lr. Chapia came to this cltv to assume the ttrstor ite of the Fourth Universalist Society, w hich he has ever since retained. Among his friends and parishioners was Horace Greeley, whose funeral services took place in his church. Dr. Chapin leaves a wife, two sons and a daughter. For the last four years Dr. Chapin has complained of fatigue, whirh no amount of rest seemed to relieve. Frequent trips to Europe failed to do him penn.'itient good. and. In fact, unless surrounded by friend during his fc-ieiicn trips, he was apt to become homesick and worry constantly until he could return. Vet. such was his indomitable will visible In every look and irrveinent of the man that even he would not .low the trustees of his church to engage an assistant until reccutly, when it became et Klent that he. would not be able to preach again. Although troubled w ith asthma ami dyspepsia, it could not be said that he had contracted any particular disease. His mind remained clear during -the la-d four years of his su tiering, the only indication of waning mental j-ower being his constant uervousness and worry about trilling matters. One of his parishioners who knew him intimately said: "Dr. Chapin fretted himself first into illuessand then to death. Although the sU'drs of Ids Church were in a most prosperous condition the congregation being largely compiled of men of wealthhe worried lest the members should be discontented on aceount of his frequent absence; and if he noticed that any prominent members of the Chutch were not regulatly in their pews he would attribute their absence to his owu shortcomings and make himself miserable." Dr. Chaplu'a last sermon in hi Church of Divine Paternity was on Palm Sunday, last year. On that davit was feared that he would not be able to finish the servbe. He went to Europe last summer, but came buck no belter; imagining, from the fact that he met no familiar faces in Switzerland, tnat his friends were deserting him. He left the house but seldom this autumn, and only for a short drive with his nurse. Two weeks ago he went out for the last time. He continued until yesterday to walk about the house, and had no thoughts apparently that his end was so near. He was particularly sensitive about what friends said to him concerning his personal appearance. He asked each person to tell him how he looked, and if the reply was not favorable he would remain despondent for hours. He passet I yesterday with his six grandchildren, no danger of death being apprehended until in the evening. He died an absolutely painless death, so far as could be noticed, at 10 minutes after midnight this morning.

A Fearful Railroad Accident. Charlotte. N. C, Dec. 27. A frightful railroad disaster occurred tliU morning on the Air Line Railroad, 500 yards beyoud the Paw Creek trestle, nine miles from this city. Two freight trains left Charlotte yesterday morning in sections, and about fifteen minutes behind the other. On an up grade, just beyond Paw Creek trestle, fourteen cars of the forward train broke loose and stopy-ed after running a short distauco. In the rear car were the tlagman. Bob Griffith, of this city, and six "passengers, three of whom were colored. When the detached cats stopped Flagman Grifiith immediately jumped on", and. having told the trainmen to notify the passengers that they had broken loose from the remainder rf the train, immediately started ltck to signal the second section. He had not gone far before he heard the approaching train, nnd then realized the fact that lie could proeeed no farther because of the trestle, which is IjO yards wide anil very heavy. He waved the tlag ns the engine in charge of Engineer Wisenberry came in sight, and the engineer expressed his recognition of it by immediately blowiug on brakes. But his train was heavy and he wa3 Hearing tho bottom one of the biggest grades on the road, hence it was impossible to stop. As soou as he realized this fact, and before crossing the trextle, he reversed his engine ami continued to blow on brakes. Realizing the catastrophe he left his seat, and standing lu front ot the Are box with his haud on the lever awaited the shock. It came, and he was partially knocked down by a stack oi wood irom the tender, tut was otherwise unhurt, though almost entirely shut in by a mass of debris which wus thrown against the engine. His life was probably saved by the fact that the rear of the tender was thrown 10 one side, thus diverting the full momentum of the train from the engine to the side of the cut against which the shattered cars were piled in an iuextrb-able mass. What occurred in the cab is obtained irom a statement made by Thomas H. Gaither, ol this city, w ho was a passenger and who miraculously escaped from death, though seriously injured, having had several of his ribs broken. There were six passengers besides the flagman. The train which ran into them had caught up with them at a wood station, a few miles back, and hence, when its coming was announced, no one ten any apEreheusion, as a tlagman had been sent ack as an additional precaution, and hence no attention was paid to the approaching train. It was upon them before thev knew it. Gaither remembers that he and Philip Whisnant suited to get out, but before he had passed the middle knocked down. He managed of the car he w as with the assistance himself, by lilting The other pas.senof a colored man, to extricate the w hole top of the car off. gers, Philip N, Whisnant. of this city: Charles Sellers, whose parents live in I'intiooK. and a negro named Stroud, were all killed. The cars telescoped each other, and were piled in the greatest confusion. The mass caught lire, and the remnant of the cars, includiug that In w hich were the passen gers, were destroyed. At least one of them was burned alive. Iticcnnrred remains were recov ered after several hours, but could not be recog nized. The head, feet and hands were entirely burned off. Another Step in the Conkling-lSaynrd Trouble What Kx-Secretary ltoutwell Says. New 1 ork, Dec. 2T.. The Washington corres pondent of the Evening I'ost has had an Inter view with Boutwell ex Secretary of the Treasury, in relation to Phelps; Dodge A Co., reopened by the lonkllug-Bayard correspondence. Mr. Bout well says: "The first intimation that I received that Dodge i Co. bad been charged with a viola tion of the revenue laws was from William E. Ikxlge himself, who came to my rooms on the day when I was too ill to go to the Treasury, and informed roe that his house had been charged with a violations of these laws. He said if there had been any omission to pay duties it w as due to ignorance und not to intention to defraud the government, lie added that the charge was very unpleasant for the firm and for his family, and he wished to make a settlement without publicity. I told him that was impossible. and, if possible, it would le very unwise; that any secrets in the 1 reasury were temporary; that the results were a matter of record and open to inspection by the othecrs oi the Government, Moreover, according to his own story, theiewcre three persons In New ork, outside of his own firm, who had knon ledge of the charges, aud that secrecy under these circumstances was impossi ble, aud that any attempt at secresy would ouly fasten on his firm an irredeemable stain. I then said to him that If the failure to pay the legal duties had sprung from ignorance his true course was to try the caae in turt. and if the fact was established the Judge would certify that, while the;e had been a technical violation of the laws, no intention of fraud appeared, and that upon such a showing, under the statute, provided the Secretary of the Treasury had power, and it was his dutv to remit the pen alties; that the firm would have to pay the duties and pass through a disagreeable ordeal, but in the end it would be absolved from all just ground of censure. Mr. Dodge left me without saying what he should do, but wltn the impression on my mtna tnat no would loiiow tne course sug' rested. I msy add that at the time I had 110 doubt of their Innocence. Not many days passed, however, before efforts :or a settlement were be gnn. There was never any ch-ck paid to me, and 1 nad notnmg wnatever to do jpersonaiiy wttn the collection of the money or its distribution. The firm never signed a paper confessing their guut, ana the only foundation for sucn a state ment lies probably in the fact that I refused to accept the original proposition for a settlement, in which they asserted their innocence, but agreed to pay the amount claimed as due by the omcers in New York, both as duties and penal ties. The proposition was rejected on the ground that the assertion of Innoccnco was inconsistent with the payment of money." A Terrible Death. Cocnctl Blcffs, la.. Dec 27.

Standing Buffalo and White Kagle were the principal sjkesmen. and in mak ing known their wants seeniti anxious for school houses and educational facilities for their chil dren. Secretary Schurr, inlormed them that the school hou- now tjeing built at the Reservation would le pushed to completion as rapidly as pos sible. He a'.so informed them that he hoped ending Indian severalty would be passed during the present session of Congress, and that as soon as it became a law each oue of theua would be given a farm, the title to which would be as valid as that of a white mau's. At the conclusion of the speeches, and after some explanation by Secretary Schurz, the ten chiefs signed a pajer that they had requested to be drawn up, in which they declared their desire to remain ou the lands now occupied by the Poncas in Indian Territory, and to establish permanent homes there, and als. express their willingness to relinquish all their ngnt and interest in ail lands formerly owned and occupied bv the I'otioi tribe in the State of Nebraska and the Territory of Dakota. In compensation lor the lands, as well as for personal property at the time of their removal to Indian Territory in ls7., and for the depredations committed upon them by the Sioux Indians, they ask Congress to appropriate .US,00. the same sum aked for in the bill submitted by the in terior Department about two years ago. After enumerating some purposes for which they desire to have this sum expended or invested, the paper closes as follows: e declare tnis to do. an expression ot our iree will ar.d desire, as well as that 01 our people at present residing on the Pouch Reservation In Indian Territory, and we ask that this declaration and request be submitted to the Congress of the t nited states lor lw lavorabie consideration and action."

Thev said they were entirely sat isfied with the land they now occupy, and want to remain in their present location. In answer to questions whether this change had been brought about by any threats or promises, they said there had been no inducements of any kind offered to them, but they had considered the matter among themselves, and had come to the conclusion tnat it was best for them to remain in the Indian Territory. They requested that this determination on their part should be Communicated 10 Congress. A tiOOK eilOWINC.

Beirarding the enla-gcment of the building, Mr. Defreessays: T:ie enormous Increase of the public printing and binding is such as to require the enlargement of the buildihg in which the work is done. There is not half room enough to store the print ed matter as the printing progresses. Fifty thousand copies of the last annual report of the Commissioner of Agriculture have been printed, but for want of storage the printing of the remaining 2"i0,(H copies has been suspended until the edition of .ro, 000 row printed can be bound and delivered.

A prominent merchant that has heretofore "opposed the movement made a liberal subscription, and said: "I am now for the opening, for I see two or three cattle combinations are getting control of the Territory and exiluding small owners, and these monojiolies buy their g ods in the Fast and do not patronize hs."

Coming to an Understanding. . : LorisviLix, Ky., Dec. 2C For several months negotiations have been pending between the Adams and Southern Express Companies and the managers of the 1ouisville and Nashville Bailroad Company looking 'to a settlement of the diitifulties which have agitated railroad circles for months past. Some weeks ago tho representatives of the Express Companies were informed that with the railroads it was merely a question of dollars and cents, and that w hen "they were prejwred to öfter projositio!is as favorable "to the railroads as were the present runniug arrangement, tney would be duly considered. Such propositions, it seems, were then made, and the matter has len very fully discussed and carefully considered by the Board of Directors of the Ixmisville and Nashville Bond. The basis of agreement has been reached, and it is thought the- contracts will be signed and the whole matter disposed of durinv the week. Ten unimportant details remain i be considered, and it is possible, though not piobable, that some difficulty may arise which will prevent the consummation of the scheme. It is thought, before the week closes, that the ntire express business of the lines of tho Nashville Road will be turned over to the Adamsand Somhern, and the entire express machinery cf the Bail road Company withdrawn.

The Earl of Camnvon pubUsbe an open letter to John Bright, Chancellor of the Duchy of Laucaster, protesting against his speech et Birmingham on the 16th of November, In which he condemned the land laws of Ireland, and attributed the state of affairs in Ireland to the rejection of compensation for the disturbance bill by the House of Lords. The Earl of Carnavon declares that, holding sentiments so avowedly Itepublican and hostile to the Crown and .to the House of Ixrds. Bright ought to not be able conscientiously to remain a member of the Cabinet for a single day. He draws a parallel between Bright's mild censure of the lawlessness and crime in Ireland and his scathing rebuke of those guilty of owning land. THE MOVEMENT OF TROOrS. Some of the soldiers on a leave have been ordered to return to Ireland. The feeling among the lower order of people Ls said to be very strong against military, even in Dublin. It Is a common practice to shoulder soldiers off from the foot-path to provoke a quarrel. A correspondent says: ' The movement of troops has excited a very uneasy feeling. It is generally believed the Govemmeut possesses information warranting an apprehension of danger. The Government has made very complete preparations for any continr.ency. and Immense supplies of provisions, tents and other campaigning requisites have been stored in the central depots. It is stated that all these preparations point to the conclusion that the (Joveniment belWes that a far greater danger than is seen lurks behind. A store ship has arrived from Wool wick with 2,000 rounds of buckshot, a large quantity of ball cartridges and intrenching tools. Another vessel is shipping a similar cargo at Woolwich, for new stations at Bruff, Mohill, Carrick-ou-Shannou. and BollyShannon, which will be occupied by troops. These, positions are well chosen, being the centers of the distorts! districts, from which troops could operate in various directions. At all stations where cavalry are quartered without infantry, the supply of ammunition will be increased to fifty rounds per man.'.' R ather 'strange. , It seems that the Norwegian ship Juno, which was seized by the customs authorities at the mouth of the Shannon. Ireland,' on Wednesday last, bad started from Ouoeustown for New York; but vw driven back Into tho Shannon by stress of weather, "ilie customs authorities took charge of the vessel as a natural result of the character of her cargo. There doe? not seem to have been any surreptitious attempt to laud arms, tho'jgh the presence of a considerable number of IiishAmeiicaus in that district at the moment is pointed to as a singular coincidence. REVIEW OF THE BRITISH (.RAIN MARKET. The Mark Line Express, which on account of the holidays is published to-day instead of on Monday next, iu its review of the Briiish grain trade for the present week, says: "The land is generally too wet for cultivation. The samples at hand show a very large proportion of the English wh'nt crop was injured by wet in the stack. Wheat in good condition sells readily, and the prices for red are low. The large snpply of drforeign makes the sale of inferior English red very difficult. The yield of the English wheat crop cf ls.so is turning out to be less than any of the published estimates. Barley continues to decline, iu consequence of the large supply, though fine samples are very scarce and occasionally command fancy prices. Oats are firmer. Foreigu grain wasinau imate and drooping throughout the week. Everything was choaper. Wheat cargoes have been declining slowly but surely. American red winter on pax-sige waa offered at 45s 9dcWsXd per quarter. Make continues slow. American is emoted to-day 2fs 6d.

' A dispatch from Dublin says: "Grave apprehensions have arisen that the trial of the Traversers will have to be adjourned, owing to the uonattendanoe of a sufficient n amber of jurors. Of the twenty-four retained, five maybe cast aside. One is a Government official esempt from serving by the act of Parliament; ' another is a man at 'present residing in Scotland; the third is a person living in America: the fourth is a man who never was in Ireland, and the fifth is an invalid In England, whom it would be almost impossible to convey to Ireland.. Several of the jurors have put in affidavits containing declarations by - doctors that' they are unfit to serve, owing to the condition of their heaith. A few more . will - - claim - exemption as being beyond statutory age. Thus with all these Objections and the prohabilrty of the absence of men who would rather incur the penalty than serve, there is a 'fair likelihood of a general discussion being raised on the construction of the jury on the grounds that, as the forty-seven contained the names of persons bv the statute exempt, the whole proceeding must be quashed."
