Ex 3enator William H.

Murtha has been for several summers, with his family, a res. ident of tho village: and ovon more, Deputy Comraissipner of Public Works James C. Mnrtha is here, too. Tho cordial political rotations which exist between Hugh McLaughlin and Messrs. William and James Mnrtha has long been an acknowledged fact.

It is pleasant, indeed, to find these harsher associations softonad and aug of the far reaching enterprise of the oity' business mon and officers. There aro not many cities iu tho Union whioh con boast of officials who are in a position to fur niah a good article just in the lino ot prodnet for which thoir official duties require the supervision. Mr. James Murtha, in his official capacity as deputy commissioner of publio works, is in position to know good grauito when ho boos it, for ho now furnishes good granite to the city from his own quarries. It is not often that professional sagacity and business enterprise are so closely linked together in tho conduct of a city's publio works.

There is no designed connection but only a coincidence between theso facts apd the former residence in this region of Captain Kidd, the well known boodlcr of the seas. Captain Kidd never had a Broadway franchise or an aqueduct contract, but his memory has come, down to us just the same. Tho islands and rooks of Stony creok aro literally blanketed with traditions of Tho programme of exorcises on the battle field for Sunday is aa follows: Tho party will assemble at Colonel Devin'a Sixth New York cavalry monument. Prayer will bo offered and Commander McGeehan will introduce in an appropriate address the orator of the day, General Floyd Clark whioh had mado its way within onr lines throned the abandonod trenches, and they wore striking for tho Baltimore pike. If they had gained possession of this they would have turned our right Upon encountering us they feared that they had struok our line of battle and that thoy wore Betting in a trap.

Thoy, therefore, resolved to wait in the woods until dasJight beforo advancing further. This delay was fatal, for before daylight General Slocum came back with the Twelfth corns and after a stubborn fight drove them ontsido our lines. How serious a mistake they mado in waiting would have been evident to tho enemy had they but advanced a hundred yards furthor, becanso then in tho bright moonlight they would have seen tho turnpike and the tents of our army's headquarters. It is not by any means au aspersion upon the bravory of the attacking party that they did not push ahead. It is mighty ticklish work poking around in the dark, especially in the very heart of an enemy's lines.

Tho woods mado matters worso, on account of the darkness and the sound of tho bullets. A rifle ball tired in tho woods makes as much noise as twenty fired in the open, rattling through tho leaves and twigs. It ia natural, therefore, that thoy should have thought the main body of our army was in front of them."

The progress of the negotiations for the entrance of Russia into the European entonte is indicated by tho arrangements for the autumn meetings of the sovereigns. Emporor William's conference with tho emperor of Austria is fixod for September 14, during tho maneuvers in SilcBia. Tho czar will arrive at Fredcnsborg on September 20. Ho will stay there until tho end of tho month and will come to Berlin on October 2. Emperor Wiiliam ftud the king of Saxony will be received by tho emparor of Austria at Vienna and they will go on a shooting expedition to tho Styrian Alps.

The projected interview between Emperor William, tho Czar and Emperor Francis Joseph depends largely upon the Austrian government's acceptaneo of the terms on which Emperor William proposos a revision of the Berlin treaty. Tho opinion of tho foreign office officials hero continues hopeful of a definite solution of tho Balkan troubles bofore tho end of the year. It is probablo that a congress of the powers will be held early in tho spring. Tho czar has sent tho Grand Duke Michael, president of the Russian council, on a special mission to Paris to reassuro tho French government. The Moscow Gazette seeks to calm tho fears expressed by tho French press in regard to tho desertion of France by Russia, by declaring that th czar's persistent aim is to maintain the balance of power, recognizing the fact that Russia and Franco havo common interosts and united responsibilities.

"It is rather going backward in the narrative." continued General Fowler, in answer to a roqusst for a reminiscence of the battle at the railroad cut, "for that engagement occurred, you know, on tho day previous, the 1st of July. In commemoration of this event wo have tho monument now standing there, which was dedicated threo years ago. Well, to tell yon about tho fight.

THE PROGRAMME OF THE TItlP. The expedition upon which tho Fourteenth war veteran association departed when they and their friends took the cars for the battlefield of Gettysburg is similar in purpose to that which the organization accomplished a little less than three years ago. On October ID, 1SS7, the Fourteenth regiment marked the spot where their famous struggle was made, near the railroad cut on tho same battlefield, with a handsome monument. On Monday tho association will place a bronze tablet at the foot of Culp's hill, where the then Colonel Fowler and his brave Eouaves repulsed tho advance of Johnson's division and saved the second day of Gettysburg for the federal arms. Tho service which the Fourteenth is how doing is far different from JameB McComb, the private detective, whose alleged elopement with Annio Rooncy was chronicled in Friday's Eahle, called at the office yesterday afternoon.

She said "I know that iuy husband and Mrs. Hermann are not together.

The captain jumped off his horso in a twin kling on tho other side from tho soldier.

The latter fired, and with the report of hi3 rillo came a volley of fully thirty shots rattling from en ambuscade. I had got my pistols out, but concluding that it was not a particularly healthy placo to stay in, I put spurs to tho horse and got back to the regiment. Captain Cantine ma le an equally fortunate retreat, his: horse being recovered later by one of our men. This onslaught was a great surpriso to me. I drew tip the regiment at once, facing the wood.
