Outrage Upon a United States Consul
Reparation Promised to Germany
Cuban News-
Paris, May 8. From detail of the
outrage at Solonica received here, it
appears that the United States Consul
interfered for the protection of a Greek
girl who waa the innocent cause of a
disturbance, and conducted her to the
consulate in a carriage. An excited
mob thereupon surrounded the con
sulate and the French and German
Consuls who were brothers-in-law. and
both related by marriage to the Ameri
can Consul, believing him t be in
danger, proceeded to his assistance,
and on the way thither were attacked.
The Italian Consul informed the Gov?
ernor of the state of affairs, ande
sent troops to the relief of the Ameri
can Consulate which was besieged by
the rabble.
London, May 9. A special dispatch
from Berlin to the Pall Mall Gazette
Bays: "Germany ha? accepted the
Parte's offer to give satisfaction for the
Salonica outrage, provided the promis
es be carried into effect immediately.
Th e approaching conference between
Prince Gortschorkoff, Count Andraa-
sey and Prince Bismarck, will be held
at the latter's official residence,"

A Horse Car Accident Connection
with Europe Restored Rubenstein
Dead The Late Tunnel Explosion.
. New Yoek, May 9 A horse car fell
from the elevator at Hoboken, last
night, by a fake start, and two were
killed.
Communication with Europe by the
Anglo-American cable, is now restored.
There were 27 passengers on the
street car which fell from the elevator
at Jersey City Heights last night. None
were killed outright. Four received
injuries which may prove fatal. Eight
or ten others were hurt, the most of
them seriously, but not dangerously.
The cause of the accident is attributed
to the carelesiness of the truckman,
who rang the bell for the engineer to
go ahead before the car had passed
safely on the truck.
Pesach N Rubenstein, the condemn
ed murderer of the Jewess, Sarah
Alexander, died this morning at 10
o'clpck in his cell at Raymond street
jail, Brooklyn. The cause of his death
was general debility.
The contractor of Bergin Tunnel,
when the explosion took place Satur
day night, says he saw 12 or 13 tunnel
men come from the direction of Hobo
ken on Saturday night and go up the
"Hundred Steps." After they reached
the top of the hill, he heard the report
of a pistol and soon after, the explo
sion occured. He did not dare to go
out, as he was afraid of his life on ac
count of the strikers. He stated that
the iron door of the magazine was
found in the Elysian fields two miles
distant, yesterday evening.

Change of Terminus of the Tesaa
Pacific Railroad Large Number of
Southern Railroad Ticket Sellers
tn route for the Centennial An
other Charge Against Bristow
Impeachment and What it Sets
Forth.
Washington, .D. C, May 9. Ex
Congressman Smith of Louisiana, who
leaves for home to-night, reports that
the members of the Senate and Koose
Committees on railroads have agreed
to report that the eastern terminus of
the Texas Pacific It. R. shall be chang
ed to Vicksburg. On the North, the
Louisiana R. R, shall be subsidized as
Vicksburg branch. The railroad ticket
sellers of the South reached here this
morning, en route to Philadelphia to
attend the opening ceremonies of the
Centennial Exposition as guests of Col
Foreachera, on the Virginia Midland
route. Nearly every Southern city is
represented in the party which is un
der charge of W. D. Chipley, General
Southern agent of the line. The party
breakfasted this morning at the relay
station by invitation of the Baltimore
& Ohio R. It.
The Star says Secretary Bristow is
already the target of the Blander circu
lators. It is now charged that he sus
pended proceedings against John Buck
ner, who was Collector of Internal
Revenue at Louisville, and defaulted
to the extent of $100,000, because Mr
Miles, the foster father of Mrs Bris
tow, who died recently, leaving Mrs
Bristow a handsome legacy is on the
bond of the defaulter, and to proceed
against him would involve the sstate.
It is farther said that the matter has
been quietly investigated by the Ways
and Means Committees. The impeach
ment presented against Belknap sets
forth that he was Secretary of War, on
June 16th, 1873, at which time, a cer
tain question, matter, cause, or pro
ceeding, was pending in relation to
the appointment and retention in of
fice of the Trader at Fort Sill, in the
Indian Territory: That he did unlaw
fully and corruptly accept aqd receive
the sum of $1,700, from one Caleb P.
Marsh, with intent to the question
pending, influenced, and did appoint
one John S. Evans as Post Trader, in
consideration of having received said
sum.
