While the French communist.1? were celebrating, in New York, tho return of the ISth of March, S.

The temperance movement is in rather a disheartened condition in Columbus, while in Dayton and Cleveland it is meeting with greater success. Lately, the young men of Columbus have formed a temperance league, and over a hundred names have been subscribed. A gentleman from Philadelphia let loose a carrier pigeon at the depot in Elizabeth, at 10:20 a. m. on Thursday. Upon his arrival in New York he ascertained by telegraph that it had reached home at 11 o'clock a. m.; thus flying a distance of eighty-three miles in tony minutes.

A few weeks ago James Sylrester, a young boy of nineteen, and Edward Baldwin ap plied to Jacob Berry, proprietor of the Thirtyfourth street theatre, New York, for work. They professed to be first-class gymnasts, and the former had performed with macn success in Canada, Cuba, and also the United States. Young Sylvester hoped to gain ce lebrity as a professional gymnast, ana do turned a deaf ear to the entreaties of his aged mother and his three brothers not to engage In this dangerous business. The New York San gives the following account of the fatal accident: THE THEATER is a small place, capable of holding about 1,500 persons. A trapeze, swinging over the orchestra and about fifteen feet from the floor, was put up for Sylvester and Baldwin. A rope attached to the ceiling and reaching almost to the floor was on the right and about fifteen feet from the trapeze, as the spectators face the stage. On Thursday evening Sylvester told his partner, Baldwin, in the dressing room that he felt weak, bnt thoucht he could complete the performance. They were announced on the bills as "the monarcbs of the aar." Auer several songs and dances, that Dart of the program which read. "James Sylvester, the wonder of I he nineteenth century, in his ceiling walking, introducing the thrilling leat oi throwing was reached. Svlve3ter briskly stepped out on the stage in his fancy-colored tights, and bowed to the nouse. men , ne smuiueiy raised himself to the trapeze. The rings on the ceillnc In which he caught his ieet ana did what he called ceiling walking were all secure, after receiving the hearty applause of the spectators, he prepared to "produce the thrilliDg feat of throwing a somersault from the trapeze to a single rope." The eyes of all" were fixed upon him, and he connden tly held to the bar of the trapeze and be gan to swing tnrougu tne air wiiu TERRIFIC VELOCITY. The manager of the theatre 'thought that Sylvester was never beloro in so good a hu mor, and expected something wonderful from him. Ail who saw it were spellbound. When ho let go to catch the rope at his right, which was tightly held by Baldwin, who was also attired in tights, anil who was bearing i, ana wno was rearing i bis whole weight on tne rope to steaay it, tne spectators were almost paralyzed as ne turned a somersault and struck with terrible lorce against one of the private boxes and fell into the arms of Baldwin. The netting of tarred rope had been taken away, but that could not have saved Sylvester had it been there. The force with which he swung himself was too great, and his miscalculation cost him his lite. Baldwin held him tightly iu his arms and carried him to the dressingroom, where be died. Yesterday the dead cvmnast lay in a plain pine coffin in the morgue, lie was still attired inthotiglits which he wore when he came to his death. His neck was much swollen and discolored, but his face bore a calm and almost smiling expression. Tomorrow m the full costume which he wore ou the rape-'?, bo is to be laut in a nanusome coffin, and taken to the "Little Church ltound the Corner," where the tunerai cere monies are to be performed. Warden Brennan has done everything in his power to assist the friends in their endeavors to ive him a respectable burial. Mr. Berry, the proprietor of the theater, announces a bene tit lor the mother of Sylvester, a week from next Monday, and Mr. H. J.

The communists in New York and Chicago, celebrated on the ISth. Inst, the uprising of the working-men in Berlin on March ISth. 1S48 and also a similar dister bance in Paris on the same day in 1S71. In speaking of the gathering in Chicago the nter-ucean savs: The decorations of the room were less elaborate than appropriate. Over the chair of the presiding oüicer were hung two formidable-looking double-bar reled shot-guns, and on either side were the stars and stripes and the red banner ot the commune, inscribed thereon the words in German and Knglisb: " Be united, works ing men of all nations." On the east wall was 2xed a small blackboard, upon which some skillful scribe had written with apiece of chalk a German legend explaining to the uninitiated the object for which they had assembled. Almost hidden on the roof of an antiquated refrieerator was a transparency bearing the words: "United, we stand; divided, we fall." The guests having assem bled, the chairman. Mr. Je tiers, called them to order by ringing a small bell, and said : which the German working men rose in arms to protect their rights, and the labor ers or 1'aris followed their example. We have met to commemorate the day in ap- : - a . r . tii :ii i prupriHba manner. Mr. .tviirgs win now aadress you." Karl Klirgs. the orator ot the occasion, mounted the rostrum, and deliv ered a speech similar in character to those which were made by Zimpel, Thorsmarck. and v mneu on Sunday last, a synopsis of which appeared in the inter-Ocean. Premising that it was now twenty-six years since the German laborers iirst protested against their oppressors, demanded their rights, and fought for them in the streets of Berlin, he sketched the HISTORY OP THE REVOLT, the causes led to it, and the results for wnicn it was responsiDie, ana grew emo tional over those who fell in the struggle. and their brethren to whom stern justice was meted out at its close. He then treated the uprising in Paris, March 13, 1871, in the same way; and finally arrived at the organi zation of the workingmen of this city last fall. We now stand united, he said, not for the revolution of Paris; not for the revolution of the whole world. We live here in a republic a republic where every man is free to starve, where every man is free to oppress his neighbor. Of this they had bad an excellent illustration at the beginning of winter. While the monopolist were revel ing in luxuiy, the poor, downtrodden la borer was permitted to suffer the pings of hunger. While the corrupt omce-holders were devouring the people's money, the workingmen were compelled to stand freez ing in the street in front of the relief and aid society to obtain, to beg for the bare means of subsistence. This was what they were opposed to; this was what they had united to. reform, and the monopolists and bourgeoisie were assisting them, actually as sisting them by their strenuous opposition. Then returning to the Paris commune.he dwelt npon the scenes which marked that uprising nd concluded as follows: " Re member, my friends, how thousands o good men gave up their lives in the streets of Paris, and be assured that the blood there shed will rise again in the cause of right acainst might. The applause which followed Mr. Klirgs oration having sub sided, the chairman called npon Mr. Winnen, who spoke for nearly an hour on the subject which had just been disposed of. The aocordeon then emitted a lively polka, which brought all the young people to the floor, and daccinj ruled ßupreme.until long arter xmoiugui.

HOME COEEESPONDENCE. I A VALUABLE DISCOVERY.

THK KTX1EKAL AXn AORICCX.TC.tAli WEALTH OP SCOTT COUNTY ITS XEWLT DISCOVERED IRON ORE COMBINED WITH MA0.15ESE THE JTÜTW COUNTY SEAT. iFrom aa Occasional Correspondent of the SeiiuneU Hexryvtlle, Ind.. March 23, 1874. Amid the excitement of the ' woman's war" upon whisky, and the progress of the grange movement, with the agitation for the re moval of the county seat, the develonment of the lands along the Jeff, railway seems to excite less attention, while this is the most important, because the new improvements In cultivation and the discovery of minerals will render the country nrosDeroiis if properly devoloped. The wealth of the soil has not Deen brought out. and the distress of the late panic in casting so many out of employment has shown the importance of cultivating and improving the old homesteads, instead of extending settlements to new countries far from market and supplies. The capital of the country had been exhausted to build distant railroads, and the credit system had been extended on these enter prises until the strain could no longer be sustained. The distant country opened by these railways could not supply the wants ol the people, and the distant homes were too far from the markets. We were admonished of the necessity of sustaining our old homes near the market, and of building up our own country. This is peculiarly the want ot this section of Indiana, for land is found to yield a good remuneration to improved cultivation, and with good supplies to sustain the railways to the near market. The marshy grounds between this and Seymour are peculiarly an evidence of tbis, as by clearing and cultivation they become apparently elevated and dry and the soil rich. Thus a tract traversed by the Jeff, railway for ten miles, and extending some thirty miles from west to east across it, has become valuable and is very rapidly brought under cultivation. The location of the new county 6eat of Scott county near to the bot tom land has Induced more attention to It. Quite a thriving village is starting up at Scottsburgh, the new county seat on the line of this railway, promising soon to be the largest town in Scott county. MINERAL RESOURCES. Bat the most promising development arises from the mineral resources that are, from time to tim, found in the high lands at tho spara and base of the knobs approaching this railway. Iron ore has been found within a mile of this county seat to the east, and some three miles west of it, that prove the continuation of many veins with it. nromises to be valuable, nrf will increase tbe settlement and cultiv cultivation of the country as a home market for those engaged in mining. This mineral is found in pay ing quantities, and of good qual ity in a .range of hills forming a semicircle about tne village of Henry vilte. unii iiaa tne capiiausts oi ixuisviile a tithe or ihn enternrisA nf thr, at TnH;.noii. valuable mineral would lone since have been brought into ue, and been the source of the rapid settlement of the country. All that is necessary h for the enterprise of Indian apolis iron manufacturers to develoue this source of supply, in order to furnish induce ments for immigration to, instead of emigration from, our own borders. Tne field is before us, and it remains for enterprise to step in to gather the harvest. Sand rock, of a valuable quality for building and monuments, also lines many of the ridges .near tbis deposit of iron ore. The value of this mineral from its combination with manganese, has been tested bv the state geologist, and all that remains is for the manufacturer! to take hold of the work and develope it. While the hills of Alabama and the fields of Northern Tennessee are pro--j . . i t .1.:.. .1 i . uuuiyoiu ure, iu aauia comuinaiion with manganese has not found to reader mein vi equal vaiua, accoraing to the pro portion, oi this mineral. It is convenient of access, and all that is necessary to .make it tributary to the growth of Indianapolis, is for the men of the state capital to take hold of the work and give it a trial. Southern Indiana may, by-this means, show, as in times long past, an inducement for growth and for our own men to improve the land instead of emigrating elsewhere. Civis. AN ATROCIOUS TRAGEDY. THE STELZENRIEDE FAMILY MURDERED WHILE ASLEEP THE AWFUL SCENES THE WHOLE AFFAIR IS ENVELOPED IN MYSTERY. The most inhuman tragedy in Illinois for years occurred on the 20th Inst., in the southern portion of the state. The follow ing account ot the affair Is from the Si. Louis Times: The unusually quiet little town of Darmstadt, better known as Center-! ville, situated seven miles southwest oi Belleville, in St. Clair county, Illinois, was thrown into the wildest exeitement ! last Friday evening -- by the inteligence that a family by the name of Stelzenriede, consisting of the ather, Friederich, senior, Friederich, junior, his son, Airs, steizenreiae, wile or Friederich, junior, and. her two children, one of whom was three years and the other eight months old. had been brutally murdered the evening previous in their farm house ad joining the village ot Saxton, about five miles south ot JJarmstadt. The courier who brought the news knew nothing further concerning the affair, than that a" neighbor of the murdered family had called at the house late Friday evening, to buy some sweet potatoes, and upon opening the door was met with the sad spectacle of five corpses lying cold and stiff in their own blood. A messenger was immediately disfatcbed to Belleville for the officers of the aw. Sheriff Hughes, on being Informed of the murder, telegraphed to Coroner Ryan at East St. Louis and accompanied by J. R. Hughes, one of the deputies, set out at once for the scene. The house was an ordinary one-story frame, containing two rooms and a kitchen, with a porch In front. The building stands back about seventy-five feet from the main road and is somewhat isolated, there being no other houses nearer than half a mile, a circumstance which made it exceedingly safe for the perpetration of THE HEINOUS CRIME. The scenes which met the gaze of the sheriff and his associates on entering the house almost beggars description. Stretched out on the floor near the front door lay the prostrate form of Friederieb, jr., nvith his skull mashed to a jelly and his throat cut from ear to ear. and on the bed lay his young wife with her head horribly mangled and her throat cut also, while in her arms and closely grasped to her bosom was her innocent babe, only eight months old, with an ugly gash in its head ; a little farther removed on the same pallet lay the other child, killed by a blow on the left .temple, cold and lifeless. In the adjoining room the body of Friederich Stelzenriede, sr., an old man, seventy-five years ot age, was found with his face towards the Moor, his head horribly mutilated and nearly severed from the body. Everything in the rooms seemed to be in perfect order, though it was clearly apparent that a fierce and violent conflict had taken place between the assassin and his victims, as marks of vio lence were found on the arms and hands of Mrs. Stelzenriede, while her husband had one of his fingers almost cut off. The children and the old man seemed to have been butchered (with more ease, since only the heads of the former and the head and throat of the latter exhibited the marks of the murderous in struments used. Coroner Ryan, accompanied by Chief Renshaw, City Marshal Walsh and other officers of East St. Louis, reached the spot about two o'clock yestex-

day afternoon, and immediately proceeded to hold an inquest upon the bodies. F. C. Horny of Flora,-was appointed foreman. The first theory formed in regard to the matter was that the bloody deed had been committed for the purpose of plunder, but, as the investigation proceeded, it became evident that some other motive had prompted the act. It appeared from the evidence of the neighbors and friends of the unfortunate family, that A BITTER FECD had existed for some time past on account

ot money matters, between the Stelzenriede family and one Freiderich Boeltz, whose wife is a sister of the murdered woman. Boeltz it Is said, borrowed money at different times from the Stelzen reiders, and gave a chattel mortgage on his property to secure the amount. It is further stated that for several months past .he has been exceedingly embarrassed in his business affairs and being pressed by his relatives for the debt became quite offended, refused to speak to them and also forbade his wife to visit or have any communication with her sister. All these cir cumstances having bean developed during the investigation, the coroner concluded to send for Boeltz, and let him tell his story to the jury. Boeltz, on being notified, refused to appear, urging want of time as an excuse. but when a subpoena was served on him by the sheriff and he was brought by force to the nouse, ne appearedquite agitated and even refused to Jook at the dead bodies before him. On being questioned in regard to the murder he was exceedingly guarded and cautious In his answers, and very artfully avoided criminating himself. The" evidence would seem to indicate that Boetz had some knowledge of the horrible crime, thou era it is possible that when the investigation takes place in the court, he may be able to clear himself of any suspicion. At a meeting of tne Doara ot commissioners or at. Clair county yesterday, a reward of 1,000 was oflerei tor arrest and conviction ol the mur derers. SANBORN AND HIS CONTRACTS. ms TURN HAS COME COLLECTING TAXES TUE MODUS OPERANDI TUE WILLS OF TUE DEAD. Washington, March 21. The commit tee on ways and means this morn ing, gave a hea-ing in the Sanborn con tract matter. Sanborn was present, attended by ex-representative Woodbridge, of Vermont, as counsel, and stated that he had two witnesses present who could not remain another day in Washington, and requested the committee to first hear them. The committee then heard John D. Coughlin. a member of the New York legislature, who had been formerly assistant assessor of the internal revenue in the city of New York, .:. x. , - ana:13 now acting unuer an agreement wiin -V vCr r i ir .' details of the work of collecting the legacy, and succession tax which was his specialty, and in regard to which he claimed to be an expert. It n-as he who called on W. W. Thelps and made the final collection of About $15,0O0 as a tax on the personal property of John J. Phelps deceased, and he gave it as his be lief that the tax never would nave been pa!d through tho regular course, because Rhelps seemed under the impression that th? law regulating the le?al succession tax applied to his cae, while on the contrary, the law only applied to the future and not to the past. He stated that there was no record kept in the internal revenue department of taxes due, only of taxes paid, atd it was only through the efforts of an expert like himself, who by comparing information derived from the surrogate's otfice with the record ot taxes paid in the collector's office, ascertained where the delinquents existed, and that such delinquent taxes could over be received. On being questioned as to the personal share iu the sums recorded, he declined to give iLformation, but Woodbridge having intimated a willingness on the part of his client to have the information giveu, Coughlin said he received from Sanborn two and one-half per cent, of the gross amount collected. He denied that he had imparted to Sanborn any information acquired as assistant assessor and stated that Sanborn had filed in the district attorney's office, a list of rersons from whom taxes were to be collected before he (Coughlin) had anything to do with him. Mr. Foster asked Coughlin if be had ever been paid trust morey? Coughlin replied that he did Dot understand the meaning of the term, but he had never received money from any one in settlement of matters which HB HAD NOT REPORTED. la reply to questions by Mr. Bsck, Coughlin stated that in March, 1S73, some months be fore the date of the Sanborr contract, he had written to the secretary of the treasury, proposing to collect delinquent legacy and succession taxes in the county of New York at a commission of la per cent., although the same work was alterward given to San born at a commission of 50 per cent. Mr. Beck. "And you really did all the work in these legacv and succession matters?" Coughlin, "yes." Mr. Beck. "Sanborn dip not work up anything in person?" Coughlin, "No. although he bad lodged information before hand." Mr. Beck, "He had that information, did he not, from somebody who had once been in the inter nal revenue officer" coughlin. "i uon t know whetherjhe had been or not."Mr. Beck, "Give us his name." Coughlin. '"His name is Waddell. I do not know his first name." Sanborn, "his name is William Waddell. He never was in the Internal revenue department." John T. Bilsterling, of PhiladelDhia. was also examined. He states that having been the special assistant assessor of the legacy ana succession taxes in i nuadelühia for nearly two years, and having be come familiar with records in the office ol the register of wills, he was emDloved. after having that office,.by Barrows as an agent of Sanborn to procure lniormationjas to unpaid legacy anu succession, iuacs. iuiui iuuuu, he said, was obtained by a great deal of hard labor and without collusion of any kind or degree with any internal revenne or other government officers, and without paying a penny to any person. The freight handlers of the Erie, Pennsyl vania Central and New York Central roads truck a lew davs aoro for an increase from seventeen and a half cents to twenty cents per hour. These companies re fused to accede, and the strikers refusing to yield arrangements have been made lo put 500 men at work at the former prices. It is said that there is $3.000,000 worth of freight now awaiting transportation at Long Dock, New York. , ; " - The case against the Chicago and Northwestern railway company lor exorbitant charges and unjust discrimination in freight charges between Chicago and Freeport, has been continued. Among the pleas set forth for the continuance is the statement that the actual cost of the road was 0,300,000 and the gross earnings but f 1,000,000 per annum, and that after paying the running expenses of the road, the earnings would not pay over seven per cent, on the investment.
