GENERAL ROBERTS.

News received from Allahabad through reliable sources gives assurance that General Roberts will be at Cabul in a fortt.ight. It is said in military circles in Simla that the gth of October is the probable date of the commencement of the forward movement, because of the deficiency of wheeled transportation.

A correspondent at Siirla says: Those "who know the position of things declare an advance ^impossible. It is reported that Cabul itself has been sacked by a mob.

In consequence of the proportions which the outbreak in Afghanistan has reached, the officials consider it possible that Gen. Roberts will await the co-op eration of other columns before advancing on Cabul.

on Khusi in a week. IMPENDING STRIKE. Ashton-under-1 yne, Sept. 9.—One of the greatest struggles ever known in the cotton trade here will probably be entered upon at the end of this week. The employers declined to withdraw their no tices of 5 per cent, reduction of wages, and the spinners and weavers are determined to resist the reduction. If a strike ensues, nearly all the working people of the Ash ton district will be involved, and the strike will probably be a protracted one, a& the Spinner's union is amply provided with funds.

thirty lengths, almost pulling

her jockey out of the saddle. All the' others putled up. Dresden has become first favorite for the Csesarewitch stakes at Newmarket on the 7th of October, at 9 to 1 taken freely. It Parole had won to-day he would have incurred the extreme penalty in the race for the Csesarewitch stakes.

wheels be revised, that the wage* of the men on the side floor, moulders for the freight car department be raised from $2 per day to $2.25. The committee was requested to call again, by which time the officers would be ready to reply. At the second meeting, the request of 'he car wheel moulders being considered reasonable, it was complied with, and it was agreed to advancs their pay, In the matter of the wages of the moulders on the side floor, the company made a proposition that the superintendent of the worku and one of the moulders, to be elected by his comrades, should visit all the prominent car shops in the ceuntry and ascertain the wages paid for similar work in these shops that average prices found to prevail, would be paid the moulders •f the Ohio Falls company, and that any change resulting from the investigation should date from September 10th. Without making any rep'y, the committee left. This morning all the moulders on the side floor quit work. As it was impossito run the freight deartment without the foundry, thus adding to the number of idle men, a few men were retained to complete so much of the work as castings had been made for. The passenger shops are not affected. m* &**

FALL OF A BRIDGE.

BREAKS BENEATH THE WEIGHT OF A DROVE OF CATTLE. Lawrence, Kans., Sept. 9.—The north span, 125 feet io length, of the bridge across the Kansas river at this point, wis destroyed to-day. About noon a drove of 150 cattle was being driven across the bridge, when by some mismanagement they were all concentrated upon the north span, and it suddenly broke near the middle, falling into the river. The south' portion of the span drew off the pier and fell flat on the water with a portion of the cattle. Five cattle were killed outright and twenty ruined. The cat'le belonged to the Young brothers, of Southern Kansas. Old Mr. Young, their father, was at the side of the drove in a covered wagotif and one of his sons, immediately behind the wagon, having nearly crossed the bridge when the catastrophe occurred. The cattle on this part of the bridge, the horses, wagon and the two men went to the bottom. The young man escaped without a scratch the old man had a shoulder broken, and some of his ribs crushed in. The Young brothers tendered their Cattle to the bridge commissioners, and have notified them of a daim for damages.

THE ANTIGULD RAILROAD MEN. St. iouis Sept. 9.—There is great reason to believe thai private meetings of ailroad men have been held here and at New York since the consolidation of the Wabash and St.Louis, Kansas City & Northern roads, whith a view to procuring another through line to the Pacific coast, in opposition to Jay Gould's scheme. The most feasible plan seems to be, and the one most in favor, for the Pensylavania, Panhandle and Vandalia roads, now forming one line from New York to the Mississippi river, to make ar

?acific

ermanent connection with the Missouri and Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and thus make a through route from ocean to ocean, equal, or superior, to any now in operation. The matter is understood be now in the hands of prominent railroad manager* in the Bast, and the probablities aj-e that some definite steps will soon be taken in this direction.

THE CHISHOLM TRIAL." DeKalb, Miss., September 9.—The trial of H. J. Gully for the murder of Cornelia Chisholm was continued to-day.

F. C. Sinclair, witness for the state testified that on the 29th of April, 1877, he was Sheriff ot Kemper county that warrants wear jjlaeed in his hands fc the arrest of Chisholm and other parties, charged with the murder of John W. Gully. He deputized several parties to accompany him and aid in making the arrests, thinking he might need assistance. He found hisholm at his horns ana told him his business. Chisholm laughed at it. He placed men to guard Chisholm. A crowd during the morning collected about the house. Among them was Henry Gully. Chisholm sent for him to come to the house. On arriving Chisholm said to Gully: "You think I killed your brother, John Gully?" Gully responded: "If you didn't kill him your money hired him killed." Chisholm did not deny this, but only replied, *1 don't want to die just now. Witness objected to McLellan going as guard to the jail, because he feared some danger would befall him on account of his being a Republican. He knew McLellan to be distasteful to the crowd. On cross examination defendant's counsel attempted to show by this witness that McLellan was distasteful'to the crowd and people generally, not because of his being a Republican, but for other reasons entirely different, principally on account of his being a bad man. The state objected to further inquiry into the sheriff's reasons tor his apprehending harm to ^Mc Leilan, and the court sustained the objection. The witness stated that the keys of the jail were twisted from his hand while Chisholm and family were in the jail did not see any of the shooting he was at the burial of John W. Gully. Several hundred people were present their actions caused him to suspect that trouble was brewing.

W. A. Hopper was introduced by the state. Counsel for the prosecution asked witness if he did not hear some one say that Chrisholm was being carried to jail so the crowd could kill hitn. Witness replied, "No, sir." "Are you afraid to testify here? asked the counsel. "No, sir." "Didn't you state to me the other day that you heard this? To this the counsel for the defence objected. Counsel for the prosecution: "You can stand aside we have your private statement here in writing."

Several other witnesses have been introduced by the state, all of whose testimony is to establish a conspiracy.

Augusts* 8ept. 9.--Very few addition* al returns have been received since morning. It will be several dt'vs before the result is known from official returns. It is quite probable that Davis is elected by the people, '."he republican ticket, is elected in Androscoggin, Cumberland, Franklin, Hancock, Kennebec, Lincoln, Piscatiquis, Sagodahec, Washington and York, giving them 10 Senators, and making certain the election of Davis by the Senate, if not elected by the people.

BLAINV.

Augusta, Me., Sept. 9.—Senator Blaine in a speech to-night, said the Republicans had a large majority in Che house of representatives, 18 senatoss beyond all doubt, and

may

have

of the 31 that!

constitute the body, and predicted1 that he returns coming in from the back towns will give Davis an absolute majority over both competitors, through he' would not assert this as a fact.

In alluding to the extraordinary features of the contest he asserted thaf prominent Democrats, whose property consists almost entirely in government bopds,. vo ed the Greenbrck ticket. The Senator's speech was »general review of the campaign just dosed an enthusiastic congratulation to the victorious party.

Portland,. Sept 6t.—At midnight, returns show that the house consists of 89* Republicans snd 6a Anion,-

Portland, Sept. 6.—Returns, though not official, show that fhe-house stands 87. Republicans to 64, opposition, with York Oxford and Franklin uncertain. One vote from either county gives Davis the the Governorship. This estimates gives Cumberland,- Sagodahoc, Lincoln, Kennebeck, Roscogging, Hancock, Washington and Riscatta, to the Republicans, 15 Summerset, Penobeeet,' Waldo, Arooiftock and Knox to the opposition, 10 York, 3 Oxford, 2 Fraal»linr 1, uncertain.

Portland, Sept. 9.—The Republicans carried Washington county by 150 majority, electing two Senators ana seven of the ten Representatives. In case Davis, Republican, does not receive a majority 0#the votes cast for governor, and the eleation of Governor therefore wolves upon the Legislature the lower house,, which tj required by law to select two of the candidates, one of whom the senate must choose for Governor, will, it is already declared, present the names of Bradbury, straight Democrats,, and Davis,.to the Senate.

Portland, Sept. 9 —York county. Jacking one town, which gave three opposition majority last vear, gives 50 majority for Davis, Republican. The election of Davis as Governor by the Legislature is assured.

Portland^, Sept. 9.—It is now certain that York has elected Republican Senators, giving the Republicans nobles* than 18 out of spr and insuring the- election of Davis by the Legislature, and the complete control of the state gpvemment. Oxford elected fusion senators, but Franklin undoubtedly give* a. Rfepubli can senator, making 19.

Portland, Sept. 8.«*-Two hundred and nine towns give Davis, 46,7%,.'Garc«Ion, 14,192 Smith, 29,631 scattering. 553. The same towns' last year gave Connor, 38,667 Garcekm. 18,839 Smith, *4.538 scattering, 24. Republican majority in these towns, 2^29, against 4,734, opposition majority last year The towns to be heard from gave last jaear: Republicans, 17,887 Garcelon, 0,369 Smith, 16,833 If they come in like the others, the total vote should stand: Republicans, ,(68,500 Democrats, 21,000: Greenbackers, 50,000, and Davss will lack 2,500 of election. In Cumberland, theRepubcan county ticket is elected, again of 7.

Reports from other counties indicate the contest in both House and Senate is very close, and can only be decided by fuller returns.
