There «it a serious disturbance at the National Encampment in Kairmount Park last night, which has resulted in one of the visiting officers being held to bail tor assault with intent to kill. Some of the Kentucky troops were amus ing themselves by tossing one of their num ber in a blanket, when a woman came along and began making jocular remarks, and as she seemed inclined to join in the fan ahe waa pitched in the blanket and well shaken up. Aa they toeeed her for nearly halt an hour and tore off nearly all her clothes, she upon being released ran for the Park police. When the police returned with her she was unable to identify her assailants, but after a while she picked out Capt. Curtis of the In dianapolis Artillery, and declared that he was one of tier assailants, and Capt. Chestean of the Park police proceeded to arrest him. It was undoubtedly a case of mistaken j identity and as the Park police insisted on arresting him, Capt. Curtis, in his indigna tion, drew his sword. Militia men crowded forward to prevent the arrest, and the police called on citizens to help them, and for a time the greatest confusion prevailed. Finally (’apt. Curtis submitted to the author ity of the police, lie w aa laken to the guard house ami afterwards held in fffiOO hail on a charge of assault with intent to kill. The affair has created a great sensation among the soldiers. A DOUBLE PRACTICE. A Prominent Society .11. D. Found to be Connected H ilh a Notorious Cang of Highwaymen. Pittsburg, Pa., July 2. I)r. James P Buck, who a year ago was the lion ot fashionable society, was yesterday placid on trial in the criminal court for high way robbery. For years a gang had infested the county, and the most daring robberies were committed. The police were battled. They had received information several times which cast suspicion on Dr. Buck, nut they believed the stories to he base fabrication to injure the doctor. His standing in society placed him above suspicion. He was consid ered wealthy. His villa at Braddock con tained a valuable collection of works of the old masters, and the grounds were the hand somest in the State. His practice was exten sive among the people, and his arrest caused a great sensation. His accuser was Mr. Alpent, a prominent insurance agent. One of the detectives employed by Alpent found that for years Buck was connected with the Gordon gang, which infested the neighbor hood. and acted as a “roper in” for them. From the proceeds of the robberies he was enabled to live high and let the impression j go out that he was rich. Gordon, Geary and Crusan, who were members of the gang, pleaded guilty and have been convicted on other charges of robbery. They were sen tenced to the penitentiary—Gordon for 5 years, Geary for 20 years and Crusan for 20 years. Dr. Buck’s trial will occupy several days. IIORKIIILE MURDER.

Judge Brown of the United State* District Court, rendered a decision to-day in the case of the brig Ambrose Light captured by the i U. S. man-of-war, Alliance, in Central Amer i ican waters some months ago. Judge Brown held that a United States vessel was justi fied in capturing the brig, but as the belliger ency of both combatants in the United States of Columbia was recognized by this govern ment, the vessel had a right to carry arms. I It was ordered that the brig be returned to j the owners upon payment of costs. No Place for Drunkard*. Coscord, N. H., July 2.

FROM WASHINGTON. Appointments by the President—Illness ol Assi'tant Postmaster General Hay— Au-trin’s Minister—Calhoun's Report Report of the South American Commis sion. Washington. July 2. The following appointments were made by the President this afternoon: Davis 11 In-1 graham of Maine, to be consul at Cadiz: .las Tenner Lee of Maryland, to be secretary ot legation to Austro-Hungary. Assistant P. M. General Hay was attacked 1 day before yesterday by a severe chill.and has been confined to his room since the evening of that day. His absence from the depart ment has revived the rumor that he has re-1 signed. This, Mr. Hay says, is not true There is good reason for believing, however, that under the advice ot his physicians he seriously thinks of resigning, and that he probably will resign at a very early date. It is understood that Mr. Keilay, recently appointed minister to Austria, will not be recalled. He will goto Vienna, and should the Austrian government refuse to receive him, it is intimated that the U. S. govern ment will remain unrepresented at the Vienna court. It is held that Keilev is a capable man, in every way fitted to fill the position to which he has been assigned. It is also held that the Austrian government has no ground tu complain of Kieley’s appointment. Wm. Calhoun, a prominent accountant of New York, who was selected bv Secretary Whitnev to investigate the system of keeping the books in the navy department, has made a preliminary report and has recommended an entire change of the system. He favors the adoption of the system used in the Eng lish navy- department. Mr. Calhoun says the present system is defective in all of the bureaus of the department. The South American commission have made their report on the result of their visit to Chili. The commission reashed Valpar aiso May 5. The report says: Valparaiso is almost an English colony. No goods are imported from the United States except when they cannot be obtained elsewhere, and then it is found much cheaper to ship them to Chili from New York via. Hamburg or Liv erpool. The Chilian authorities did not re ceive favorably a proposition tor a reciprocity treaty between Chili and the United States. THE NEW ORLEANS MINT. Over One Million Dollars of W hich Their l« no Official Record. New Orleans, July 2, The morning papers contain a statement that over one million dollars have been coined at the New Orleans mint, of which their is no official record. The coinage act of *73 made it the dutv of the director of the mint to have general supervision of all the Uuiled States mint and assay offices. The first di rector of the mint ac ting under that law wa* Henry R. Linderman, and in his report on the subject he gives the statistics of coinage I in several mints, showing total amounts and j the denomination of money made at each j place for each year of thier existence. The New Orleans mint was opened for business in 1838. Subsequently money was made there. The director’s statement is brought down to January. Down to January 31st, 1801, up to which time there had been a total coinage of #61, 148,740 in gold, and $29,754,353 in silver, making a grand total at the New Orleans mint from its beginning in 1838, to January 31, 1801, in both silver and gold of $93,913, j 093. The date at which the director’s report closed was the date on which the mint fell fell into the hands of the con federates. The documents lately brought to light, it is said, show that subsequent to the mint going into the hands of the Louisianans and confederates, and up to May 30 of that year, there were coined $254,000 in gold double eagles anti $1,101,210.50 in silver half dollars. thus making a total coinage of $1, j 355,216.50 while the mint was in the enemy’s hands. What was done with this money does not appear from any available records, but the fact of the coinage as stated on the coiner's books at the time, and in order to make up the true amount of actual coinage ot the New Orleans mint this sum must be taken into account. There was no regular coinage of the precious metals into confeder ate specie and under confederate auspices, although the New Orleans mint remained in their control until April 26, 1862, when the city was taken by the federal forces. INDIAN AFFAIRS. How a Party of Indians Were Dispersed While in Camp. Saw Frarcirco, Juiy 2. A special from Tombstone, Arizona, says Win. I’enn Howland arrived last night from San Bernardina Ranche. He gives the following account of a fight previously re ported between the Whites and Indians at Oporto: (’apt. Crawford, with the main body of troops and scouts, went directly to the Tor res mountains, while Lieut. Davis’command passed areund the esst side of the mountains, flanking the Indians and surprising them while in camp. The camp consisted of 17 bucks and 14 women and children. In the attack two of the bucks were killed and one wounded. The women and children and wounded buck were made prisoners, but the rest of the Indians escaped into the mountains and it was found impossible to overtake them. Lieut. Davis sent Lieut. Hanna, with a de tail of six men. in charge of the prisoners, and three mutinous scouts to San Bernards no. At the same time he sent a courrier to Ft. Bowie, asking (Jen. Crook for reinforce ments to meet Lieut. Hanna at the ranche and relieve him. When Howland left San Bernardino ranche yesterday. Lieut. Hanna had not arrived there, although he had been on his way six davs. Lieut. McGrew. who had been despatched to relieve Lieut. Hanna.arrived at the ranche Monday, and scouts have been sent out from Lieut. McGrew's command to obtain news of i Lieut. Hanna. The belief exists that the i4 bucks, who made their escape after the Oporto tight, seeing that the prisoners had left the main command and were guarded by only six men. have followed and ambushed the party and rescued the prisoners.

CHICAGO’S STKIKF. A Warning to Mayor Harrison A Movement to Compel the Company to Kun Its Cars—More Trouble Feared* Chicago. July 2. The West Division street railway company at Chicago has made no attempt to run out any of its cars since the serious encounter on Madison street yesterday afternoon. The officers of the company have had several con sultations with the mayor and chief of police, but without any apparent result. Mayor Harrison has declared his willing ness to give the company police protection, provided it is prepared to put its cars in oper ation, hut that he does not believe in keeping the entire police force on duty to oversee the running of two or three cars. The newspapers arc beginning to look at 1 the situation a* one of serious import, and the Times this morning intimates that the hesitancy of a “mushy” mayor in 1871, pro voked the serious riot of that year, and warns Mayor Harrison that any hesitation in pre serving peace at this time may result in a similar trouble. It is cited that various labor organizations are enlisting for the active sup port of the strikers, and that recruits from these organizations and lawless individuals joined in the disorder of yesterday. The News and Inter-Ocean, while expressing su preme dislike to the methods employed by the street ear company in the past toward the public, enjoying as it does a complete monop oly of the passenger-carrying traffic in the most populous district of the city, say it should he granted absolute protection for its employees in moving its cars, and that a fail ure to afford such protection may result in anarchy. The statement is made that the governor may he called unfair to order out a force of the National Guard troops, but a dis patch from the Slate capital declares that no application for such an order has yet been made. The street car company officials declare that they have an ample force of men to run their cars when they are insured protec tion from assault. In the meantime, practically every carryall in the city has been pressed into service for the accommodation of ihe|West Side traveling public, anil beyond the discomfort which naturally follows the u«e of ordinary expresa wagons having plain pine boards for seats, the public is not in any way inconvenienced. Several meetings of citizens have been held to protest against the delay of the atreet car company in resuming service. Legal proceedings have been threatened to compel a forfeiture of the company's charter under a provision which compels the company to run its cars daily. Up to 2 30 P. M., the street car company had made no effort to move the cars and the situation remained unchanged. Mrs Dudley Committed to an Insane Asylum. Nf.w York, July 2.

The district attorney suggested that she be sent to the State asylum at Auburn, hut the judge ex pressed the preference for Middletown a«ylum and sent Mrs. Dudley there to be confined indefinitely. When notified of the disposition of her ease, the prisoner said she was satisfied that she needed rest and seclu sion and expected to be benefited by treat ment in Middletown. She probably be taken to ner new quarters to-morrow. Inundation. Sax Fkaxcisco, July 2.

During the spring of Ism her lower ext>eniiti’» b came so inflamed ami sore that she was obliged to keep them c nstautlv coated with a cov ering of "Fuller’s Earth,” mixed wet and allowed to dry on. \mong oth* i things, she was atllicted with a periodical nervous headache oc« urring regularly every seven d «ys, s'-inetitnes mllowed by an intermittent fever for weeks at a lime, no that her life became a burden to her Tills spring I determined she should take S. 8.

Alter taking the first large lio tie the disease seemed to increase; the burning, itching and inffcMnation be came unbearable. Nile, however, persevered In the use of the medicine. After taking the second bottle the inflammation began to subside Aftet the third bottle the Inflammation disappeared, and sore spots dried up amt turned white and scaly, and finally site brushed them off in an Impalpable white powder re scudding pure salt.

The walls ot the new mill of the Kdwards Manufacturing Company, at the west end of the dam, are approaching completion, and it is probable that the structure will be entirely covered in by August 1st. The window frames of the fourth and last story are up. The tower, which will be six feet higher than the building, is walled up on a level with the re mainder of the structure. A covered way will connect it with the tower of the old mill. The machinery will be placed in position and operated as soon as possible after the edifice is completed. The floors as at present j consist of matched spruce plank, which will be covered bv one inch and a quarter hard l'ine lumber.

The liberal policy ot •be city to the Kdwards Company, was evi dently g wise one. A SaraUif mt 1-Tm~ The recent rise in the Kennebec has brought a heavy pressure tj bear against tbe booms, from Skowhegan to Bicbmond, and Biversl of them were unable to stand the strain, and burst. Weston Brainard’s boom at Skowhegan was broken, the tops taken off of two piers to which the boom was fastened and the whole miss of logs started down river. Most of them passed over the dam on the north side of the island and down the river, a large jam forming on the railroad bridge at Skowhegan from the centre pier to the sooth shore, where it remained at last ac counts. A jam estimated at from two to three million feet formed on the hridge across the sooth channel, completely filling the river from shore to shore extending back to the mills and remains there now. It is estimated that the boom contained trom 12 to 15 million feet of logs when it gave way and that fully 25 millions have passed Skowhegan since that time. All agree that never before did so many logs pass Skowhegan in so short a time. At Somerset Mills and Fairfield the heads of the boom* were carried away but the owners succeeded in holding their logs that wore boomed in by the shores. The result was that a large part of the logs run down by Waterville to Five Mile Island boom, where they are secure. It is estima ted that there are now 20,000,000 feet of h'gs in this boom. By the breaking of the boom above the Kennebec dam Augusta, some 8000 feet of logs went down by the city, jams forming at tlie railroad bridge and carriage bridge, which still remain. By the breaking of a temporary boom at liallowell, 4000 feet more were let loose and went down the river. The most of these and those going over the dam, however, i were captured in booms below liallowell, so j that very few, if any, will be lost. itanuirnienU. The Dixies at the Coliseum.

The pop ular Dixie Comic Opera and Special Cdi. For several month* put, says the Boston Post, Boston bu entertained unawares a high Asiatic dignitary, a monarch whose sway was unbounded over millions of people, who merited from his position all the public non- or* larished upon King Kalakua and other representatives of distant countries who have i visited this citv. More than other guests this man shonld have found hearty welcome here, t for he wu not the innocent inheritor of a throne, but a ruler who made hi* own king dom. developed his realm by his individual force and achieved his title and recognition by means ot pluck, brains and enterprise This man wu Joseph W. Torrey, rajah of Ambongand Mavoodu in Borneo, who died Monday morning at his Boston residence oo Wabon street. Mr. Torrey was born in Bath, April 22d. 1828. Hi« lather, J. G. Torrey, printed the Maine Gazette, the first paper published in Bath. Soon after the birth of hu son, the elder Torrev moved to Koxburv, where he became city printer. Hi* »on received hi* 1 education in the Roxbury high school. In 1853 he left B uton for Melbourne, where he entered upon a commeretal career in the em ploy of Enoch Train Co. Charles Francis Train wa* a clerk in the house at that time. Although now more of a merchant than a newspaper man, Mr. Torrey's bright wit and ready pen led him often into journalistic work, and during his seven years' residence in Melbourne, he was a frequent writer tor the local papers. He joined the Masonic or der and wa* el-vated to the grand mastership of his lodge. From Melbourne hp went to j Hong Kong. Here he continued his mercan tile work, having beep admitted as a partner in the firm of Montgomery, Parker Co of Boston. While a resident of Hong lying, he was for a time editor and managep ot the j Hong Kong Time* and of the China Mail. He wa* eventually appointed United States Vice Consul to Siam, and while resident in the latter country, strange to say. practiced j law w ith good success In Siam he began I the undertaking of Ids life. He founded the i American Trading Company of Borneo. Sev eral American merchants were interested with him in this scheme, which aimed to de velop a large tract of country in the north side of Borneo for commercial purpose*. At the time the American Trading Com pany was organized, nearly the w hole of Bor neo was governed hv a Sultan, whose sway wa* absolute The Trading Company settled upon about 20.000 square miles of the Sul tan’s laud, i e., I he provinces of Ambong and Mavoodu, and began operations. Their ac tion wa* mm It similar to what is known in the western part of this country as preemption. These provinces are rich in natural products, prominent among them being gutta p rcha, i spices, tin and gold, and the coast line is well I adapted for commercial purposes. At the time Mr. Torrey began his work there the provinces contained about 2,000,000 i inhabitants. It was not long before the »Sul-! tan of Borneo, Abdul Mumin Ebu Marhoun Mulaun Abdul Wahp. saw that Mr. Torrey had wome to stay. The Sultan’s powers were threatened by the encroachment of foreign powers, and he knew’ that a strong effort m the right direction w ould wrest his northern provinces entirely from his grasp. It may j have been that Mr. Torrey’s Yankee pluck impressed and terrified the Sultan, and it I may be that he was won over by the diplom acy; in either event Mr. Torrey obtained in 1865 a commission from the Sultan recogniz ing Inm as lajah, or governor of the territory operated by the American trading com pany. As chief executive of this province Mr. Torrey had absolute power, being the final and sole authority over the life and death of his subjects, exercising in short the functions of an irre'p nsilde sovereign. He had the power of retaining his office for life and ot naming his successor. He continued i his away with eminent success for fourteen years By this time all his business associates in tile trading company had died, ami Mr Torrey sold out his interest to a syndicate of British capitalists who continued developing the resources of the country, their capital being placed at £2,00o.f attention at Lake Quinsigamond, Worces ter. Fred IMaisted is giving them three prac tice pulls a day, w hich is more work than any of the other crews take, and is rapidly bring ing them into form. He says they had some faults when he took hold of them a week ago ttiat he didn’t dare to try to remedy in the short time at his disposal. Their boat still rocks and dips, but they get it through the water at a great rate. They are the heaviest and strongest crew on the lake, as well as widest, ami they use their muscle very freely. IMaisted ami Ten Eyck were out in a shell in double sculls Tuesday afternoon. As the Bowdoins came down over the course,as they passed Pine Tree Point.
