[from Monday's Daily.]
Vesterday morning our citizens were startled by the report of a brutal murder having been committed late on Saturday evening outside of the city, and their minds were gratified with the information that the murderers were all captured and in the station house.
A thorough examination of the affair gives the following evidence: At about nine o'clock on Saturday evening Mr. Jame6 Bundy, a well-known eld colored farmer, a man of considerable wealth, was sitting with his wife and colored house servant, in front of his kitchen fire. Me.bad taken off his boots and was enjoying a comfortable doze as he sat in his chair in the house were four of his farm hands, two white men and two blacks, who were in their rooms in bed. As the clock struck nine, a wagon was heard to stop oat in he road in front of the house,, and voices were heard calling. Mrs. Bundv nudged her husband and he step ped out on the poarch and hallcoed back to the party in the wagon, standing in the road about 120 feet from the house. They had a common farm wagon, drawn by two mules, and the occupants were Hamilton Montgomery and wife, and child about five years old. and James May, white people, and Tom Underwood, a colored man. Montgomery was quite intoxicated. When Bundy calied to th in. much ill feeling was shown between them, and a lot of foul talk passed between them. He soon returned to the kitchen quite excited and angry and put on his boots, seized a heavy stove poker and a double barrelled shot gun, loaded, and hastened out to the road. The hired men had bv this time left their beds and had assembled out on the front porch where they stood quietly watching the affair. As Bundy reached the road the report of firearms was heard, several shots in all, and the 1 orses ot the team became frightened and started off. Bundy. was heard calling for aid, and ti»e farm hands hastened to him and found him in a doubled up attitude near the fence, holding tbe poker in one hand and the 6hot gun" in the other. One barrel was yet loaded, the other had just been discharged. He was picked up. and carried to the house, and said, "lay me down on the porch, boys." They did so and he soon afterward expired. It was found that he had been shot in the leg and through the stomach. Two of the men hastened to town for aid, and soojv Dr. Link and Chief Stack with Lieutenant Fasig, Deputy Marshall Vandevefand a posse of police weie on their way there in wagons. They took with them a couple of colored citizens to assist in identifying &c.
Arriving therefthe nanus of the parties were soon learned and their homes were sought out. Hastening to the house of Montgomery Chief Stack discovered him and Mays just in the act of mounting saddle horsvs to take flight. It was a great surprise to the two men who hacR no idea of any officer* having arrived, and thev showed tight. Montgomery attempted to draw large navy revolver trom his pocket, but Stack seized hit hand, and wrenched the revolver from him. Thev were handcuffed, and taken into the wagon. The police then proceeded to the house of Arthur Allefij a farmer, situated some distance away through the woods, and, entering there, found Underwood lying in bed, and refusing to get UD. He was found to BE wounded on the side of the head, the marks indicating he had been »truCk with the poker, and was wounded in the leg with a quantity of small shot. He at last got up dressed and was brought to the city by the police. The tnoon had by thi6 hour gone down, and it was very dark.The two wagons were heavil) loaded, the roads muddy, and heavy, and in places the load was turnpiked. At one of. these points the leading 'wagon, driven by Lieutanent Fasig, containing Chief Stack, Josh Davis, Underwood and Montgomery, was found to be overturning. Instantly there was a hasty movement executed by the occupants, Davis fell head first down in the mudhole. and the prisoner Underwood piled on tdp of him, Fasig plugged gallantly head first into the ir.ud. aud Chief Stack at once executed a plendid gymnastic flank movement, leaping about ten feet, followed by a still bigger jump to escape the falling wagon. Montgomery being Handcuffed grabbed hiold of the seat rail and hung on For dear life, and was the only- one who escaped hurt or dirt. Finally ail was righted up, and they reached the city at half past three on Sunday- morning.
Montgomery and Underwood were armed with navy revolvers, from whicti several shots had been freshly discharged," ar.d are charged with the murder. -.»•
At the station house Dr. Crapo was summoned, and was tor along time engaged in digging out the small shot from Underwood's kg. .1
Mr. Bundv was sixty yean old. and had resided for over thirty years on his. fine targe farm where he was killed.
It contained over 200 acres, laying on the line of the Honey Creek road, and he employed six men in all to work it. He.

Mr. Bundy said: the man said: "Come out, I can whip you." He came back in the hou»e and put on his boots, picked up the shot gun and poker, and went out I went out on tye porch and saw Bundy go toward the gate, and some man commenced calling Henry Tribble Mr. Bundy said: ''Its not Tribble, its Bundy." Bundy thrn got over the fence immediately after he got over the fence, there wt» something made a naisc, as though a couple ol men were running dirtctly after thi*, I heard a lick down there, after the person spoke to Bundv at told him he wasn't calling him, he was calling Henry Tribble immediately after the lick the shooting commenced I don't know the number of shots fir«*d 1 staid in the yard till Bundy hallooed, and then I went out when I got there I heard some men down the road, but did not see tt em I asked Bundy it he was shot, and he said be was I niked him where ite was

HENRY TRIBBLE: I corroborate the testimony of Win. F. White and Charles Williams, except in the following particulars: When Mr. Bundy was called, he got up, and went out on the porch Bundy savs: "What will you have?"
The man said: '"Go to hie.I, God damn vou Bundy wheeled around, and said: "•You'd better go on." The fellow then suid: ••(?—d d—11 old Bundy. I can wniphim. G—d d—n a ni«er baby, whitewashed with lampblack.'' I told Bundy not togo out
vthere.
He said nothing, but went out. When he not near to the gate, the fellow said: "Henry." '•Bundv said.it, wasn't Henry, but Bundv.
The fellow said: "Come on," and Bund\ replied. 'Tin a coming, gentle men." After he got over the fence, I heard Bundy walking, and somebody was walking fast, or running. I thought they were coming this way. .The fellow said: "It was Henry I was calling." "Bundy said: "No you called Bundy."

Bundv said: *Tm a coining.* Tom got to the corner, and told Bundy| he wasn't calling hhn, he was- calling Tribble. Bunoy said: "You was calling me, you s—n ofa b—h." Tom started back towards the wagon, .and Bundv struck him. I didn't see wh%t lie shuck him with, but hearcf the lick. They were standing in Stevenson's lane. Tom fell. Then the shoot'ng began. The mules started to rpn, and I didn't see any more of the foss.
Tom stai ted to the wagon and got in, I said: "Tom what did vou go back for?'-
He said: "Drive on I'm bleeding so I'm pretty near dead." We told him we couldn't drive on, because the wagon and mules were all out of fix. We all satin the wagon till the shooting was over and then Mays and got out because the mules were cutting up.
I told Mays to wake Ham. up. He did so and told Ham. to fix the mule& fro we could fo home that Bundy had shot Tom. He got up and asked where Bundy was. We said we suppposed he had gone to town to give himself up. Jim Mays, my little boy and mynelf walked on ahead to Mr. Loyd's. VVe were at Loyd's a half an hour when the wagon came along with Ham. and Underwood in it. Ham. said wc ought to go back and see about this. Don't know how many shots were fired. No shots were fired from the wagon during the fight, fitn Mays had a pistol. After Mays left Loyd's I heard a revolver shot, but don't know who shot it. The moon shone bright. The mules were not hitched before the shooting.

I went to bed about nine o'clock. Tom Underwood came to the door and rapped He said he wanted in. My wife wak.*d me up and I told her to let him in. She did so. He reachcd forward and fell in the door. He 6aid Bundy had given him a dose of shot. He said he had been drinking and if he got over this he'd never drink another drop. He said Ham. Montgomery was behind coupling the wagon, and"to stop him, he wanted to go home with him. He said the whole crew was drinking. Pretty soon Ham. came along. Ham. saidthere wasn't a man about Bundv's that he could fir.d and added: "If I could have found them I'd have helped the black sons of b—s through with It. I have a notion to go back vet-"

:-'V'
A man came to this citv, and presented himself to Mrs. William Piper, on *outh Second street, widow of late ex-Officer Piper, and represented himself to be a wealthy clergyman from Sao Francisco, but preriously from Canada, claiming to be an Englishman. He was about five foot seven height about forty-five years of age, wore side whiskers and appeared to be very respect able. Mrs. Piper has some relatives residing in Canada, from whom she is really expecting quite a sum of money through some legacy. By some means Williams is aware ot this fact, ana showed a complete acquaintance with her people there, and by this means at once settled himself into her favor, and was welcomed to her residence, where he proceeded to make himself at home, so much so, that after a few days she began to smell a well defined rodent, and officer Vandever was put on his tracks. The Reverend had a large bundle of papers purporting tp be the legal papers by which she was to get her expected wealth from Canada and stated he had them deposited at the city clerk's office until* he was satisfied she was the right pemon in the case. He also claimed to be a minister of the gospel, and succeeded in being introduced to members of the Moffatt street Methodist church, and actually occupied that pulpit twice, and delivered A. No. 1 gospel truths, in very able, taking style. He showed a desire to assist the church by starting a well-headed subscription paper, putting down his name for

This delicious succulent bivalve so dear to the America, appetite in the wintier time, and that makes cold weather seem delightful,-Is in the midst of an uncertain warfare that is very perplexing to dealers handling large quantities.
Ed Johnson, of this city deals in th^m extensively, paying down $2,700 to file Baltimore house for the month of October alone and supplies a large number of retailers and*consumers hereabouts, and is having lots of trouble to convince his customers of the state of affairs about the strike among the

Baltimore, Oct. 28th, 18$.'
Mi*, p. W. Johnson ,« /fe DEAR SIR—The oyster packers of Baltimoie being desirous of establishing the oyster business on a sound, reliable and satisfactory basis, that would be alike beneficial to the dealer, the packer and the consumer of oysters, held a meeting on the
in6t., associated themselves
together lor that purpose organizing under the name of the "8ward of Oyster Packers of Baltimore."
The board have established prices for oysters at all points as shown on the accompanying circular, and tru«t that the price* named therein will be strictly adhered to, and thereby be the means of reclaiming the oyster business throughout the country from its present demoralized condition, and placing it firmly upon a satisfactory, sound and reliable bas.'s.
In making prices the board have endeavored to make them as low as the present actual cost in Baltimore will admit, believing that the actual cost, of oysters here should at all times be taken into consideration in the making, or ^hanging of prices.
The Board are strongly impressed #ith the belief, that the plan they hare adopted will produce desirable results giving the packer a reliable, although small profit, and the consumer a more uniform standard ot best quality of oysters at lower prices than consumers in ali Seaboard City obtains them.
