THE MYSTERIOUS AND SUDDEN DISAPPEAR ANCB OF OVER $2,300 ARREST OF SU8 PECTED PARTIES. The Cincinnati Commercial of the 21st inst. gives the facts connected with a bold robbery in that city : Valentine Meyer, a saloon keeper at 350 Main street, near Ninth, was robbed of $2,230 in greenbacks and $300 in s;old and silver some tima between I and 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon, under very mysterious circumstances. Tho money was in a tin box, locked up In an old wardrobe in Mr. Meyer's bed-room, in the second tory of tbe house. The door of the room leading out In the ball is kept locked all the time, and Mr. Meyer carries the kev in his pocket. Another door in Mr. Meyer' room ltads to a room adjoining. From this latter room another door leading inta the ball Is also kept locked, and the key is usually left down stairs in thesittingroom for tie convenience of tbe eirls about tbe house In cleaning up Mr. Meyer's room. About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon Mr. Meyer's oldest daughter bad occasion to visit her father's room, when she oiscovered the tin box on tbe bed, aud a lot of papers scattered about the floor. She at once informed her father, who went up stairs and took in the situation at a glance. Tbe door of the old wardrobe had been forced open, apparently with a -'jimmy," the box taken out and rifled of its valuable contents, but everything else in the room wai undisturbed. A uro id watch, which was lying on top of the tin box in the wardrobe, was found under a bureau in tbe room. Tbe general appearance of tbe room, and the fact that tbe robber or robbers went straight tn the old wardrobe and secured tbe money without auy apparent search or ransacking of the room, at once led Mr. Meyer to tho conclusion that the robbing bad been PLANNED AND EXECUTED by some person well acquainted in tho house. His first suspicion fell upon a woman named Margaret George, or Margaret Harris, who bad been in the employ of the family for about six weeks as a Beamstress, and he caused her arrest and incarceration in Hammond street station. She is forty-eight years old. Later in the day officers arrested a man named John B. Bailey, who is unfavorably known here to the police. Bailey's arrest was caused by the fact that the woman had Introduced bim to the Meyer family about six weeks since as a farmer and huckster of butter and eggs. Bailey is 64 years of ajze, and has been around the city for some time past, apparently without business, although be has been banging around a Sixth street produce commission house. The theory of the police is that Mrs. George certainly knows more than she cares to tell about the affair, and that she probably planned, alter which Billey or some accomplice executed the job. There is no doubt that some one well acquainted in the house knew all about it. This theory 13 strengthened by tbe fact that all the doors leading to Mr. Meyer's room were locked when the robbery was discovered, and that Miss Meyer, before goiDg up stairs, took the key from the place wuere it la usually kept. The family feel pretty certain that the daughter and Mrs. George were the only persons in tbe room after Mrs. Meyer went out in the morning. Mrs. George fctrongly asserts her innocence, but she aud Bailey tell diflereut stories about their acquaintance and relationship, which makes the cape look bad for them. No money was found in the possession of either of tho suspected paitU s. A GAS EXPLOSION. FOUR MEN GET SENT CP TO THE HIGHT OF FIFTY FEKT A NARRJW ESCAPE FR )M INSTANT EEATH. This morniug about 12 o'clock, pays the DesMo:nes Journal, 17th, tho city was started by a heavy shock, which shook the heaviest brick blocks, as if some heavy weight bad fallen upon them. The fire alarm bell soon after rung, which announced some catastrophe jhad happened, and imrudia-eiy tbe southern part of the city wan lighted with & pale, white glare of flduie, which told plainly the gas works wtre on nre. Hurrying to the spot we lound the northeast portion of the works in ruins, ana tne ground ror roas m every direcJoa strewn with bricks and debris. Scarce one brick was attached to another, so complete wis tbe wrecv and destruction of tbe explosion. The roonug was tora into s bred a, and strewed the ground in every direction. The causo of tbe explosion is unknown. There were four man iu the building, Barny Brady, Pac. Kearney, Paul lirimua and Babby King. Two were lying on a bunk in the no.theast corner, in a small room in tbe rear of the meters, asleep, aud two werechauitingapuriüer, whau suddenly tbry were hurled into the btreet, amid the Uyiug brick and spinners and timbers, and oibr dobrU. Policemen Daugberty and McNearney bad just passed the building comiug up Third street, and were about el) reel Irom tbe nortbed.it corner, wheu the beard the explosion ia their rear, aud tbe whizziug of flying splinters, aud tbe thudding of brickot all ab)ut theui. Toey instautly hastened to the spot and the first objecS thay mtt was oue ol the men who bad beeu blown Irom bis bad, lying among the brick. He was removed to a house ana found not to be hurt, beyond a tllgbt bruise. About twenty teet from him was lound another man and be too unhurt seriously. The four men were soon louud and all escaped without material injury except Brady, who recti ved an ugty bruise on the right Bided the face, and aiso on tbe right arm. Dr. AcOorrisk. was called and tneiujured men were soon made a comiortaule as possi ble. Bjbby King had Lis hair badly singed, and umess internally injured will suffer no serious damage. Diugneriy and McNearney at once notified tue liro boys, who were quickly on the spot, and succeeded in saving a large quantity of oil which was stored in the oasetuent of tbe building, and tquelcbiiig tbe fire to prevent it reacbiu other portions of the work. A larg-i bole was made in tbe gas bolder, which caused the gas to ebcape filling tbe ait with its stench, and cutting tbe supply off in the street niaios, threw the city into total dark ness, where it will remain lor some time, so Ur as gas is concerned. Tbe loss to tho com pany it was impossible to estimate at this time. The loss to the city will be a severe cue.

A CHARMING WOMAN.

BT JOHXO.IAXE. From Harper's Magazine for March. A charming woman I've heard it said By other women as light as she; Bat all In vain 1 puzzle my head To find wherein the charms may be. Her face, indeed. Is pretty enongu. And her form Is quite as good as tte best. Where nature has given the bony stuff, And a clever milliner ail the rest. Intelligent? Yes In a certain way; With the feminine gift of ready speech; And knows very well what not to may Whenever the theme trascends her reach. Bat tarn the topic ob things t wear, Krom an opera cloak to a robe de nuit Hats, basques, cr bonne:, 'twill make start To see how fluent the lady can be. you Her laujh is hardly a thing to please; For an honest laugh must always Btart From a gleesome mood, like a sudden breeze, And hers a purely matter of art A muscular motion made too slow What Nature designed to lie beneatb Tbe finer mouth ; but wnat can she de, if that is ruined, to show the teeth? To her seat in church a good half-mile Wben the day ia fine sue la sore to go, Arrayed, of course, In the latest style La mode de Paris has got to show ; And she puts her hands on the velvet pew (Can bands po white have a taint of gin?) And thinks how her prayer book's tint of bice Must harmonize with her milky Ekln. Ah! what shall we say of one who walks In fields of flowers to choose the weeds? Reads authors of whom she never talks And talks o( authors she never reads? Shn's a charming woman, I've heard it said By other women as light as she; Cnt all in vain I puzzle my head To find wherein thecharin may be. AFTER THREE YEARS. THE CHICAGO ATROCITY. A TERRIBT.B REVELATION OF HIDDEN CRIME THB CHARGE OF DAM ET. HASSETT AGAINST HIS FATHER, PATRICE HASSETT TEK TESTIMONY OF THE SON ABOTTT THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY. The telegraph has already made mention of the discovery of a terrible, revolting murdei committed in Chicago three years ago. The Tribune of the 21st Inst, gives a very lengthy account ol all the facts, from which the following extracts are taken: December last Patrick Uassett caused tbe arrest of bis son Daniel on tbe charge of vagrancy, and he was sent to the Bridewell. About ten days ago his term of sentence expired, end be returned to the parental roof. . Since his release the home of the Uassetta has been the scenes of constant bickering and strife between the lather and son. Iast Monday the old man lodged complaint against the son, charging Daniel with having committed an assault upon bim with intent to do bodily injury. The young man was arrested and brought beloie Justice Boyden for examination Ust Friday morning, in tbe South-Side Police Court. Tbe father was present as tbe witness, and testified to the assault. On that day the elder Hassett presented the appearance of having received more than one blow over the head and face: his eyf s were black and swollen. and hi3 lace scarred. Jastice Boyden heard the evidence, and imposed a -fine against the prisoner of $00. Not being able to fettle, he was sentenced to the Bridewell, which he had Just left, for a period jf 100 days. On the prisoner being consigned to a cell in the Harrison street station to await the coming of the "Black Maria" prior to conveying the prisoners to the Bridewell, he sent for Capt. Buckley, and made a statement to that officer, in which he revealed tbe awful mystery ot four years ago. Capt Buckley then made the following report to Assistant Superintendent Uickey, which is the conie&sion of the prisoner: ILCHlckey, Esq., Deputy Bup't, of Police: Sir: Daniel Hassett, a young man aoout 22 years old, who resides with his parents at No. 112 Butler street, in this city, inlorms me that his father, Patrick Hassett, murdered a man about three years ago, at the above plaoe, under the following circumstances: He m t a man on Halstod street about 9 P. M., and invited h into bis house. He told bis son Daniel that tbe man bad lots e t money, and be wanted him to assist him In killing the man, and they would go into business. Daniel declined to do so, and went upstairs and remained there about two or tore minutes, -w ben he cme down tho father HAD TUB MAN KILLED and lying on the doer. He then requested Daniel to go into tbe shed and get a barrel to put the body into it; this he refused to do, and the father went himself and got the barrel, and then cut the body up with a cleaver and knife and put it into the barrel, and procured a wheelbarrow and wheeled it down to tbe river, took tbe body out of tho birrel and threw it into the river near Healey's lough. He then returned home and called bis son Daniel, and requested oi mm cot to ever sy anything about what be had seen done, and made bim give his band to that f fleet. Tbe father theu c-fl'cred Daniel 100, and he refused to take it, and told the father that he would not have anything to do with it. He also told Daniel that be bad got four hundred and some odd dollars iu the man's pockets. He kept his cloches in the bous some time afterward, and then burned them. I have detained Daniel Hassett at this station, and will take bim before Judge Boyden to make affidavit to tbe above facts, and havo a warrant issued for Patrick Hassett for murder, and arrest Lim forthwith. Very respectfully, William Büpklet. Captain commanding First Precinct. Cook County, ss. Daniel Hassett, being duly sworn on oath. says that he has beard read the foregoing re port and statement, and that the sams are true. his Daniel X Hassett. mark. Subscribed and sworn this 19th day of February, 1875. N. P. Botdbn, J. P. Capt. "Buckley immediately conducted Daniel Hassett before Justice Bayden, who issued bis warrant on the oath f the pris oner lor tbe arrest of Patrick Hassett on the charge of murder. Tbe warrant was placed in tbe bands of Sergeant Fitzpatrick, who ARRESTED THB ALLEGED MURDERER at bis residence, No. 142 Butler street, that evening, about tbe hour of 5 o'clock, and confined him in the Twentv-second Btreet station. Ytsterdiy morning, at tbe con vening of the feouth Side Police Court, the room was crowded with idle spectators who were drawn thither out of curiosity to Bee the prisoner, tbe news of the arrest having spread over the city, and the event of tbe finding ot the headless and mutilated body, long forgotten, was vividly brought to mind. At tbe bour of 12 o'clock, the old man was brought into court. By thia time many prominent citizens were present, and great excitement was created by the crowd, who surged inside the bar in front of the comt in tlieir eagerness to ob tiinasight at tbe accuse.!, so that Capt. Hack lev was compelled to order the nüicer in attendance to clear the plaoe. When the prisoner entered tbe dock, and the clerk of the court read the charge with which tbe prisaner stood accused, tie scene was truly a sad one. The spectacle of an old man, 72 years old, confronted and charged by his own son of tbe fearful and terrible crime of murder, is an unusual one. To tbe charge the prisoner, with a ghastly smile, pleaded not eullty. The son was called upon to make his statement, which he d'd, and whloa was substantially that as related

to Capt. Buckley. During the testimony ol the witness before the court, the accused f a

raisea nis agea neaa ana FACED HIS SON. His face became livid, and his bleared eyes roved from side to aide. At Intervals he would raise bis hands with au exclamation of surprise, mingled with sorrow, and again with indignation, at the evidence being given by the witness. Commissioner Sheridan, who was present, cross-questioned the witness carefully, whose reply was Invariably the came. Tbe witness, in giving his testimony before the court, and especially when being crossexamined by Commissioner Sheridan, was very singular. His actions would lead one to suppose that be had not arranged his story fully to bis own satistactioa. lie spoke in a very low voice, and stammered and hesitated in the thread of his narrative, so that the commissioner requested him to speak louder. On being aked why he bad not revealed tbe affair before thie, his excuse was a very flimsy one, which was that he feared the anger of his - father. In detailing the manner in which the body was mutilated, he was especially contused, and avoided the question in his reply aa much as possible. The evidence or the witness was anything bat satisfactory to the court, and those who were interested in getting at the bottom of the mystery. At the close of the testimony ol the single witness, Capt. Buckley requested a continuance till Tuesday, March 2, on the grounds that further time was needed in wbicU to gather up the incidents connected with the tragedy of four years ago. The request was granted, and the prisoner committed without bail. The sou was also held without bail as a witness. In an interview with tbe eon a reporter obtained tbe following additional facts concerning tbe manner of the murder: Young Hassett I was only a boy then, and he could get away with me easilv. Well. I went upstairs, and I beard tbe sound of the body falllDg just as I was coming down from the loft. The old man struck the stranger on the bead with a cleaver, and then jumped npon his neck till he killed him. I was trembling with fear all the time, and I bad no band in the affair at all. The old man wanted me to assist, but I said I'd have nothing to do with the business anyway. He wanted me to get an old door out of the outhouse, but I refused. Then be got it himself, and, after strippiüg tbe body down to the hickory undershirt.he CUT OFF THB HEAD AND LEO, and got a barrel that he got a few davs before to pack pigs' feet in, and put the man into it, and wheeled him down to the river near Healy's elougb. There he dumped it in. I followed bim at a distance, for I was afraid he might discover me, and I was back in the bouse before hlm3elf. Reporter How did he manage the blood? Young Hassett The floor of the front room waä boarded. He allowed tbe blood to cake bard upon it. Then be scraped it up with a shovel and put it in a bucket, which he threw out. Then be got cloths and water, and scrubbed up the floor. He put on a good fire, so that it dried up quick. When he was cutting tbe man up he first cut into the flesh with a knife, and then used the chopper to go through tbe bones. He used to t ut up bogs in Burlington, Iowa, ao be got used to the business. lie cut the man up so as to make him fit in the barrel. The clothes the man wore were all bloody, too, but he put them away until he got a chance to burn them. TEMPERANCE LUNCH ROOMS. IIOWTIIEY MANAGE THKM IN MILWAUKEE AN ANTIDOTE FOR SALOONS. The Milwauk e News gives the following description of a temperance restaurant in that city: The ladies ol tbe temperance baud assured a reporter for the News who called on them yesterday afternoon that their project of a temperanco restaurant andlanch house was even more success ful than they had expe: ted or even dared to hop?. Tbe rooms of the band are at 83 Masou street, and a more rlea?ant and cheerful resort could not be wish6d lor. I he cining room is well lighted, comfortable apartment, ia which everything U most scrupulously clean and neat. The sitting room is handsomely furnished; the walls are decorated with pictures; tbe tables are liberally supplied with papers, and a capacious book case is tilled with interesting books. A piano 6tands in one corner, at which the young ladies in attendance occasionally preside, while flowers and hot house plants id an air ot homelike comfort and ood cheer that pervades the entire suit of rooms. Mrs. Southwell has charge of the culinary department at tbe rooms, and Miss Hcod is cashier. These two ladies devote their entire time to tbe enterprise and are tbe recipients of small salaries. All tbe rest ol the work is gratuitous, the ladies of the band taking turns in vL-iting tbe institution. One of the officers or executive committee is iu attendance daily. Tbe tables in the dining-room are attended by young ladies of the Young Women's Temperance League, who relieve each other daily. THE BILL OF FARE. Tne object of tbe band in founding this Institution is to supply the public with a place where a good meal can be bad at a moderate price; where it can be partaken ol without the temptation to indulge in "Hoi Scotches," "Tom and Jerries," and other equally pleasant appetizers, and whete foaming mugs of lager will not bo required to wash down the more solid parts of tbe feast. It was hoped that the presence of the intelligent and refined ladies in attendance would prove an attraction to many young men who were fast contracting the habit of spending their evenings in saloons, and that the pleasant parlors, reading and music would be the means of effecting Liore real, practical benefit to the temperance caus-e than any of the various other devices with which "lovely woman" seeks to dethrone king alcohol. The News is gratified in being able to state that the disinterested labors of these noble women are meeting with success. The lollowiug is tbe bill of lare, with tbe prices of each article attached: Ovsters, 25 cents; ham, bread, butter and pickk, 15; cold turkey, bread, butter and pickles, 15; tea, 5; eoflee, 5; milk, 5; pie and cheese, 10; doughnuts, 5; sandwich, 5; pork and bean?, 10. It will be eeeu that a hearty lunch may be had at rates which seem frightfully low. The rooms are open from 8 in the morning until 10' o'clock at night, during which time the band will extend a hearty welcome to all who may favor them with tbelr patronage. The parlors being convenient to end of the track of tbe Easts id e street railroad, parties waiting lor the cars will find them an exceedingly desirable place in which to sit. The temperance band is composed of some ot Milwaukee's most estimable. ladies. They have for some time been engaged in maturing their plans for an organized effort sgainet tbe influence exerted, particularly upon youug men, by tbe saloons. At first it was proposed to bold street and saloon prayer meetings. This course! a other cities, bowever, having proven such a failure, tb idea was immediately abandoned and tbe present plan adopted. Tbe institution is modeled after a similar one in Cleveland, Ohio, which has proven eminently suceeßstul In every I particular.

There was a great deal of discussion regarding the two reports, many of tbe members saying that they did not wish to cat loo-o Irom the National Association, while others wished to sever all connections with it and strike out for the interests of the West and South. The MAJORITY RETORT Was amended and adopted as follows: We, a portion of the Western and Southern Association, in convention resembled, do resoectfullly submit theee deliberate declarations of what we justly feel to be subjects for consideration of tbe National Turf Congress, and ask euoh action on the part of the board ot appeals as will operate to allay any jealousies that may have arisen between the East and the We9t, the fruitiul source of which has been delay and expense in the prosecution and defense of cases in which the West is a party or parties. Articles one and two of the resolutions following this were stricken out, leaving ar tide three as: Article 1. We ask the honorable presi dent and secretary of the Na tional Turf Congress to amend the rules so as to grant a board of appeals for tbe West and South, defining the bound ary lineB between tbe Last and West. Art. 2. To grant the West and South the privilege of electing its own board of appeals, and its own officers, and said board to be of tbe selection ol those sections . Art. 3. To confer upon said Western and Southern board of appeals powerto bear aud pass upon all cases coming before it, and in all cases involving amounts exceeding $10,000 the decision to be final, subject to the same code of rules as governs tbe National Association, ai:d such other roles as shall be made by tbe National Congress, from time to time, Eald Western Board to have its PRO RATA REPRESENTATION and vote thereon. Art. 4. To modify the amonutof money required, giving the National As'ociaticn such an amount as will insure the cooperation of the weaker association by encouraging ..hen to become associates, thereby depriving those who have been suspended, by the national rules, from continually setting tbe laws at defiance bv having outside places of resort. Akt." 6. To so legislate, as regarding the accumulation of funds in the treasury of the national association, or tbe treasuries of the Eastern and Western boards ot appeals, es not to have more than sufficient to meet the actual demands thereof. Any balance remaining on band at the end of each year tobe redistiibuted to tbe associations, pro rata, according to tbelr contributions to the same. Resolved, That each state represented in this convention present the name of some suitable person for confirmation as a representative to tbe board ot appeals, and to devise, in convention with the national board, euch action not inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the national association as will best subserve the Interests ot the West and South, and try to obviate the difficulties complained of, carrying out tbe declaration set forth in the preamble. It was then resolved to at once appoint a committee to present tbe wants of tbe West and South to the national association, and the following were selected: Michigan D.J. Robinson. Tennessee J. N. William. Illinois W. It. Loomis. Iowa O. 8. McNeil. Ohio C. H. Moore. Indiana Silas Tarn. Kentucky J. A. Scarlett. D. J. Robinson was elected secretary of tbe committee.

For this purpose Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, wiib. mall daily doses cf Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets, are pre-eminently the articles needed. They cure every kind of humor, from the worst scrofula to the common pimple. blotch, or eruption. Great eating ulcers kindly heal under their mighty curaUve Influence. Virulent blocd poteons that lurk in the system are by them robbed of their terrors, and by their perßcrvcriEg and somewhat protracted use the most tainted system may be completely renovated and tollt up anew. Enlarged glands, tumor, and swellings dwindle away and diaappear under the inOuenee of their great resol vents. Sold by a:l dealers In medicines. YOU ABE OT SAFE IN" JJHINOr COAL Oil. .CO AI. OIL.
