The robbers made a demonstration toward him, when he ran out the back dcor. receiving as he ran a pistol-bullet through his right shoulder. Wil­ cox was not attacked. Meanwhile the towns • people in the street had opened fire on the robbers, killing two and wounding one. Five escaped, carrying the wounded one with them, leaving one horse killed and another caotured by the citizens. The robbers are described as large, able-bodied men, well mounted. They secured no booty except a handful of nickels, which they threw on the floor. THE long-talked-of prize-fight between the bruisers, Joe Goes, of Mogland, and Tom Al­ len, of St. Louis, came off iu $oone oounty, Ky., twelve miles south of Covington, on the 7th inst. The combatants pummeled each other for nearly two hours. The St. Louis brute was getting tiie best of the fight, and, from all ac­ counts would undoubtedly have thrashed the Englishman, but, in an unguarded moment, he administered, in the twenty-first round, what . the fancy call a "foul" blow, and GOBS was de­ clared the winner of the contest. An immense crowd of roughs, and a few people who claim to be respectable, witnessed the affair. A CUKYENSE dispatch says: "Mr. Ingram, who came into Rawhide Springs, (he present terminus of the Black Hills telegraph line, re­ ports that on Rtmdav last fifteen Indians at­ tacked his party on Indian creek, and two men, . named Gannon and Stearns, of Golden City, Col., were killed.

Crook's columns indicate that Sitting Bull's forces have split, the larger number, in straggling bodies, going n the direction of the agencies, while about a thou­ sand hoetiles have taken the direction of the Black HillB, with the intention of making a murderous raid on the miners of that locality: Crook, with a force of 1,900 men, is now on the trail of this latter body, whioh he hopes to overtake ere they reach their destination. A TERRIBLE disaster occurred at a Hayes and Wheeler pole-raising, at Lancaster, Ohio, last week. The pole, which was 250 feet in length, had been elevated to a height of 100 feet, when the ropes snapped, and one of the der­ ricks fell into the large crowd that wan wit­ nessing the work. Charles Drinkle, George Fink and Charles Hoffman were killed, and George Martin had a leg broken and was badly bruised otherwise The Peace Commission met the Indiana in council at the Red Cloud agency on the 9th hist., and presented their ultimatum: First, that the Black Hills country should be vacated ; second, that they should receive rations at the Missouri river; third, that three roads be opened from the Missouri xiver to the Black Hills, through their country.

It intimates that nptonly in Rus­ sia, hut in other European ooattbries, public sentiment is assuming a dictafcodal character which can hardly be ignored by the rulers, and that it would require utile additional aggrava­ tion to bring down upon Turkeys retribution that would end only with the utter dismember­ ment of the empire.

A Min»m dispatch furnishes the following additional particulars of the arrest of William M. Tweed; " Capt Gen. Jovellar, at Havana, received intelligence that Tweed had disem­ barked at Santiago de Cuba, and notified the authorities there. Before the latter could take action, Tweed embarked on the sailing-vessel Carmen, bound to Vigo. Capt. Gen. JoveJlar telegraphed to the Madrid Government, which, feariug that the Carmen might go into some other port, requested the authorities at all Spanish ports to examine persons on board of all vessels named Carmen. There are twelve Spanish vessels of that name. A portrait of Tweed being indispensable, the Spanish au­ thorities obtained and made copies of a carica­ ture in an American journal representing him as beating a child, supposed to typify American justice. The caricature led the Spanish author­ ities and reporters of the Spanish papers to be­ lieve that Tweed had been kidnapping children. Hence, in the first official announcement re­ ceived of the arrest of " Twid, Antelmi," a supposed telegraphic corruption of Tweed, American, it was stated vhat he had been ar­ rested for kidnapping American children."

Fresh disaster has befallen the Egyptian army in Abyssinia. Fifteen hundred Egyptian troops, wit a their commander, Rahibe Pacha, have been massacred. The Abyssinians afterward proceeded to Mafsacroa, which they seized. The garrison and Government officers escaped on board some ships which happened to be in port, and arrived safely in Suez. The Egyptian Government is contemplating revenge, and is sending fresh troops to the scene of action. THE following are the particulars of the ar­ rest of William M. Tweed, as furnished by a cable dispatch from Madrid, Spain: It was found, in July last, that Tweed wss in Santiago de Cuba, having passed there from Havana. Gen. Jovellar was applied to by the American Consul to have Tweed secured and sent to the United States. Gen. Jovellar quite willing, even in the absence of an extradition treaty, to oblige the American Government, in return for their courtesy in the Argue'les case, some years ego. Tweed, however, was apprised in Santiago of his impending danger, and sailed for .Vigo, Spain, July 27, on board the sailing vessel Car­ men. Mr. Cushing thereupon notified the Spanish Government cf this fact, and found them willing to arrest Tweed aud return him to Cuba, or deliver him up to the American Consul. Every precaution was taken by tho Spanish Government to secure Tweed's arrest in any port of Spain or on any coast lino by which he might arrive. Severe ciders were given to local authorities, especially those of Vigo the Galician coast. The Carmen hove in eiglit off Vigo, on Sept. G, aud was immediately boarded by the Governor of Pontevedra. The Governor at once recognized Tweed from pho­ tographs which he bid in his possession for some time previous to the arrival of the fugi­ tive. Tweed was entered on the ship's papers as Secor, and was accompanied by a man giving bis name as William Hunt, who is said to be his nephew. Both wero immediately secured and thrown into the Calabozo, under a strong guard, but were subsequently transferred, by order, to a fortress in Vigo, under command of the Captain General. . THE Turks recently met a large body of Montenegrins in battle on the banks of the Monatecha river. When repulsed, » portion of AT {he African Methodist Episcopal Conference at Jacksonville, last week, the Bishop introduced to the conference the venerable Rev. Dr. Peter Akers, of Jacksonville. The conference received the Doctor by rising to their feet. Dr. Akers, who is now in his 86th year, and the fifty-sixth of his ministry, addressed the conference in a clear, able and most impressive manner for a half hour. THE Illinois And Secret Society Asso­ ciation, in session at Jacksonville last week, put the following State ticket in nomination, to be voted on at the No­ vember election: For Governor, Samuel B. Allen, of Clarke county; Lieutenant Governor, Samuel French, Morgan county; Secretary of State, George A. Robinson, of McLean; Auditor, Jas. N. Wallace,Cook; Treasurer, Moses Pettin- gill; Attorney General, Judge Zeering, of Cook county. TME Quincy police have succeeded in capturing a notorious train-robber from Moberly, Mo. A dispatch was received from the Sheriff of Randolph county. Mo., for the arrest, on a charge of grand larceny, of two men, one of whom, William Hollais, was accurately de­ scribed. Of the other criminal there was no description whatever, and, con­ sequently, he is still at large. Hollais is an old resident of Moberly, Mo., and is a member of a gang of desperadoes who have been engaged for some time in robbing trains on the St. Louis, Kansas City and Northern railroad. The arrest is an important one, as it is be­ lieved it breaks up a ring of railroad thieves which had its headquarters in Missouri for years. THE competitive examination for selecting a West Point cade#7 from the Thirteenth Congressional district was held at Bloomington last week. The medical examination was conducted by Dr. Good break, of Clinton, and Dr. White, of Bloomington, and the literary examination by Prof. Demotte, of the Wesleyan, and Charles L. Capen, Esq. There were twenty-nine applicants, rep­ resenting all parts of the district. Five failed to pass the medical examination, and five were excluded on the ground that they would be too old at the time of admission, leaving nineteen to com­ pete. The decision of the examiners was in favor of W. E. Guthrie, and ac­ cordingly that young gentleman was appointed by the Hon. A. E. Stevenson. Guthrie is a resident of Bloomington, and a native of Abingdon. THE arrest in Chicago last Saturday •f Rollin Paul and Maggie Dean, sup­ posed murderers of Chas. Pfeiffer, who was found in the river at Peoria, April 14,1874, has created no little stir in the last named city. The murder was so mysterious and unaccountable at the time that public feeling was in­ tensely aroused. Now, two years after the deed occurred, the arrest of the supposed murderers revives the old excitement. Pfeiffer was a respectable young man, of good habits and exten­ sive acquaintance. When his body was taken from the lake it evidently had been there but a few hours. There were no marks of violence on the body, and all clues led to no developments. Fi­ nally public interest in the affair ceased, and everybody supposed no more woftld be heard of it. It seems, however, that Sheriff Hitchcock and Chief Kennedy have been quietly working away at the case, and the arrest at Chicago of the parties was made at their instance. They assert that they have got the right man. FIVE distinct parties have nominated candidates for State officers in Illinois, to-wit: the Republicans, Democrats, Independents, Prohibitionists and Anti- Secret Societyites.

Particulars of the Robbers' Foray at Nrothfleld, Minn.--The Story ot the Tragedy aa Told by Kye-Witnesses. [Proin the 8t. Paul Pioneer-PrestJ THE STRUGGLE IN THE BANK. Mr. Haywood occupied the Cashier's seat at the desk at the end of the coun­ ter. Mr. Bunker and myself occupied seats at the desk, Mr. Bunker being nearest the opening at the oomer. The first thing we knew the three men were upon or over the counter, one of them exclaiming: "Throwup your hands, for we intend to rob the bank, and if Sou hallo we will blow your G--d d--n rains out," and we could not do other­ wise than comply. They then askud whioh was the cash­ ier, iu which Ml. Haywood replied, " He is not in." They then sprang over the counter and demanded that the safe be opened. Addressing each one in turn, they said, " You are the cashier." which was denied. Seeing Heywood seated at the cashier's desk, one of the ruffians went up to him with his long, narrow-barreled pistol and said, "You are the cashier; now open the safe you son of a ." Mr. Heywood said, " It is" a time lock and cannot be opened now." One of the men then went into the vault, the door being open, also the outer door of the safe. Heywood at once sprang for­ ward and closed the door of the vault, shutting the robber in, when another of the men seized Heywood by the collar and dragged him away from the door and released the incarcerated robber. The man who came out of the vault-- a slim, dark-complexioned man with a black mustache, then called to the other to seize tho silver which was lying loose (about $15) and put it in the sack. They did not do this, but seized about $12 in scrip and put it into a two-bushel flour sack which they had with them. The dark-complexioned man, who appeared to be the leader, then again attacked Heywood, insisting upon his opening the' safe, threatening to cut his throat if he did not, and actually drawing a big knife across his throat. The heroic and faithful teller, however, was not to be deterred from his duty, and would rather sacrifice his life than be­ tray his trust. Some few moments --it seemed ages to the bewildered and terror-stricken lookers-on-- were spent in Heywood's struggle to break from the murderous villain and gain his liberty. At length he broke away, and regaining his feet ran toward the door, crying "murder I" The man at once struck him with a pistol and knocked him down, and dragged him to the safe door commanding Mm to open it. But the intrepid clerk stolidly re­ fused, when the villain shot at him but did not hit him. Evidently the shot was intended to intimidate rather than to in­ jure, but the scoundrel had reckoned without his host, for the effect was lost upon Heywood. But upon the discharge of the pistol Bunker made a start for the back door and ran for dear life, one of the robbers pursuing and firing, the shot takiug effect in the snoulder, Bunker, however, reached the street (Water street) and ran to Dr. Coombs' office. During the whole of this time four or five men were riding up and down the street, shooting in every direction and keeping up an incessant fusilade. One of the men outside came riding up fu­ riously and called for the men to leave the bank. "The game is up," he said, •' and we are beaten." THE RETREAT. v Almost immediately they took the alarm and somehow jumped over the counter, making their exit. The small man was last to go. He mounted a desk at the front, and as he turned to go fired a shot at Heywood, which I do not think is the one that took effect. Heywood dodged behind his desk, or sank into his chair (Heywood's desk stands at right angles to the bank desk, and he sat sideways to the opening at the front, with his back next to the wall), and as the robber made over the desk railing he turned, and, placing his revolver to Heywood's head, fired, shooting him dead. He staggered forward and fell behind the counter. The robbers made out of the door. I do not remember muon more that followed. Wilcox was not sure whether the ruf­ fian struck Heywood when the latter fctaggered to the cashier's chair, and he did not stop to see if he was dead when he fell. He said the reason he did not try to get out or help HeywOod was that one of the men stood over him with a pistol in his hand. THE BATTLE IN THE STREET. The statement of Mr. G. E. Bates, who witnessed that part of the affair which occurred in the streets, is inter­ esting. Mi*. Bates said that about 11 o'clock his attention was called to foar men who came from over tho liver. They came over the bridge and were mounted an four splendid horses. The men wore well-dressed, and, Mr. Bates says, four nobler looking fellows he never saw; but there was a reckless, bold swagger about them that seemed to indicate that they would be rough and dangerous fellows to handle. Altogether ho did not like the looks of them. Again, at about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, as ha was standing at the entrance of the store, talking to Mr. C. C. Waldo, com­ mercial traveler from Council Bluffs, he saw the same men ride paft-- three came up street from Mill square, and one down street, meet­ ing within thirty feet of the bank. They dismounted and tied their horses to the hitching-posts, and two, he thought, went into the bank and two went down to the staircase lead­ ing up into the upper stories of Lee & Hitchcock's buildings, and here they stood leaning against the banisters, talk­ ing. Commenting upon their fine physique, and vpon their unusually good mounts, Mr. Bates and Mr. Waldo with­ drew to the far end of the store to look over some sample trusses. They had not long been so occupied when they heard several shots fired in rapid suc­ cession, and the thought flashed upon the mind of Bates at once that the bank was in danger--Mr. Waldo stating that he cried out: " Them men are g©ing for the town; they mean to rob the bank," although Mr. Bates does not recollect saying any tiling, he became so excited. He remembers, however, rush­ ing to the door and seeing some men riding up from the bank--they came riding toward him with long pistols in their hands and called out, "Get in there, you son of a " Mr. Bates at once seized a shot-gun and ran back to the door, bat the gun would not go off. He then put down the gun and seized a fine seven-shooter, which was not loaded, and, as the men came down again, (they were riding to and fro, evidently intent upon keeping people from going toward the bank), he standing behind the door-jambs, cried out, " Now, I've got you," and pointed an empty pistol as if drawing a bead on them. They turned their horses sud­ denly and fired' at Mr. Bates, the balls crushing through the plate glass. This ruse he practiced over and over again with the same effect. There were other men at the bank firing down the street. The next he saw was Mr. J. S. Allen running down the street from the bank, and two shots were fired at him. Mr. Manning, of Mill square, whose store is in the same block as the bar k, next came upon the scene. He ran out of his store with a Remington repeating rifle, and took a deliberate aim. and fired from the corner, Mr. Bates calling out, "Jump back now, or they'll get you." Next Mr. J. B. Hine came up with a doable-barrelled shot-gun and dis­ charged the two barrels, and retired to reload. Bev. Phillips also took a turn at the scoundrels, and L. Stacey de­ livered a cool, deliberate aim. Mr. Bates next heard a report over his head and saw one of the desperadoes fall from his horse. The horse made a faltering plunge forward and then suddenly stop­ ped and the man pitcned over "on his face to the ground, and in & few moments was dead. This . shot was fired by Henry Wheeler, from an old carbine, from out one of the windows of the Danpier Hoiise, from the very room in which this report is written. Mr. Manning was still firing, and as he crept to the corner to fire, e Mr. Waldo called "Take good aim before you fire." Immediately after this shot, one of the horses started up the street, and the rider began to reel and sway to and fro, and suddenly fell to the ground just opposite Eldridge's store. Another horseman immediately rode up, dis­ mounted, and spoke to the prostrate man, who was stretched out at full length, supporting himself on his out­ stretched arms, when he rolled over on his back. Then the other man took from him his cartridge-belt and two pistols, and, remounting his horse, rode off. Another horseman, finding Mr. Man­ ning's fire too hot, dismounted from his horse, and got on the opposite side of it for protection, when an unerring ball from the Rem­ ington brought the horse down, the man running behind some boxes which wera piled beneath the staircases before mentioned, and now ensued a lively fusilade between this fellow and Man­ ning, the scoundrel keeping himself wel under cover. But a ball from Wheeler* musket struck the fellow in the leg, hal" way above the knee. He at once chang­ ed his pistol to the left hand and grasfiied the wounded limb with the right, still trying to get at Manning. Finding him­ self getting weak he turned and limped off up the street, but seeing Bates with a pistol in his hand, he sent a ball whiz­ zing toward that gentleman, grazing the the side of his cheek and the bridge of his nose, and burying itself iu a collar box in the store. Mr. Bates says he feels the ring of that ball in his ear still, and the ball, he says, he will ever keep as a souvenir of the hottest day North- field ever saw. The man limped away as he got oppo- po&ite to Mr. Morris' store, when he cried out to his retreating companions, "My God, boys, you are not going to leave me--I am shot." One of the party riding a sorrel horse with light tail and mane, turned and took the wounded man up behind him. THE DEAD BRIGANDS. . During Friday forenoon the robbers were stripped of their clothing and washed clean, preparatory to the cor­ oner's inquest, which took place at about 11 o'clock. The coroner's jury, after a short deliberation, rendered a ver­ dict in accordance with the facts previously sent you. On the body of the shortest man was found a fine Howard gold watch, worth at least $175, a pocket map of Minnesota, purchased of Wil­ liams Bros., Minneapolis, a pocked com­ pass, and $5.75 in currency ; gold sleeve buttons, with enameled leaf on the face, and a plain gold ring. The possession of the map would seem to indicate that the dead man was one of, or the princi­ pal leader of the gang. The larger man of the two killed had nothing in his possession except a fine gold Watham watch and 10 cents in currency. On the person of the smallest was found an article from the Northfield paper describing the Yale chonometer lock and safe just procured by the bank. How He Was Going to tlie Centennial. Those colored residents of Raleigh who were talking of an excursion to the Centennial have about given up the sub­ ject. The idea originated with a gray- haired "uncle " who didn't expect to live another hundred years, and who, it turned out, had a private ax to grind. He planned the excursion on the co­ operative principle. To a crowd of his friends he explained : "I reckon de expensas at $50. Fifty of us will frow in $1 each, an' I will go down thar. When I git back we will frow in another dollar aroun', and de next man kin go, an' we'll keep the system goin' till de hull caboodle hez bin down thar." The idea took at once and was freely talked over, but was knocked in the head at a second meeting by a brother asking : " Uncle Ike, how long does you ex­ pect to be gone?" " Only two weeks," he replied ; each one will be gone just two weeks." " If thar^s fifty of us an' each one is g^iie two weeks, what part of de show will de last man see ?" was the blunt qU»r& nele Ike tried to convince them that dates and figures were made for mere convenience sake, and the crowd thinned out so rapidly that he was soon left alone. When he had seen the last man turn the corner, he sighed a sad sigh and muttered: " Tguess I'll have to go widout dat ra­ zor for another year. Dese here nig­ gers seem like day hadn't any genius."-- JKaieigh Sentinel. THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS, A List oi the Candidates In the Field.

A most interesting Observation, refer­ ring to the power of germination in seed which is hundreds, or even thousands of years old, is Baid to have been made by Prof. Hendreich, in Greece. In the silver mines of Laurium, only the slags left by the ancient Greeks are at present worked off, in order to gain, after an improved modern method, silver still left in that dross. This ref use» ore is probably about two thousand years old. Among it the seed of a species of glaucium or poppy was found, which had slept in the darkness of the earth during all that time. After a little while, when the slags were brought up and worked off at the melting ovens, there suddenly arose a crop of glaucium plants, with a beautiful yellow flower, of a kind un­ known in modern botany, but which is described by Pliny and others as a fre­ quent flower in ancient Greece.--Lon­ don Examiner. The Best He Could Do. A deacon living in a Berkshire town was requested to give his prayers in behalf of a poor man with a large family who had broken his leg. " I can't stop now to pray," said the deacon (who was picking and barreling his early apples for the city market), " but you can go down into my cellar and get some corned-beef, salt-pork, potatoes and but­ ter--that's the best I can do."
