In the spring importations are some very 'handsome goods showing a "lace' stripein a coarse square mesh, alternating with a solid stripe cf material, which bears a floral design in frise, each stripe being of the popular width, which is about one inch. Among the fashionable colors, pale blue appears in the list of millinery and trimming effects. They are clear and pure. Dark navy and marine tints are also "on the list," while gendarme and metalic bines are favored, but nothing is seen in the middle tints. In yellow tones amber takes the precedence. Amt-tr beads will be in high favor ,for bonnet trimmings. Lemon, yellow, orange and mandarin, it is said, will be sparingly used, but the entire range of wood colors, ecru, to the faintest tint of cream t color, will te favored. Browns, olive, ruby and cardinal still hold their popularity, and green is shown ia the pale yellowish shades of last season. Reseda P and moss green are again accepted, but few emerald greens are found amos the best stocks. The myrtle shades are in "high favor and represent some of the choicest fabrics for dress and millinery purposes. Black is always in favor, and nothing is more becom ing and lauy-iike. .black and. white aa a combination is not meeting with general success, althonh it will be worn to some extent by those ladies to whom it is becoming. The economical fancy for b'ack hosiery will continue during t'e spring and summer; this is true noi only for ladies but also for children. Dark cardinal stockings ami the brighter porpy red shades are worn to match jackets and garnet bead trimmings, and merchants import a few other dark colored stot kings, such as navy blue, seal brown, dragon green, axd maroon, to match dart dresses, but the preference is given to black with dresses of any color, and also ,with toilets otherwise cf pure3t white. Plain colors with side clocks are preferred to stripes. Checked Cheviots, stripes, and cross-bars are imported in very light weiehts that should be used for spring gowns for walking

suits, and lor seaside, mountain, and travellirg dresses all summer. Some of these have very smooth surfaces, others have boucle loops of mohair in cross-bars, and others ere as roughly woven u rag carpets, and look heavy. Dut are exceedingly light. There are also fancy striped serge-! of two alternating colors, or else with two tones of one color, and another new fancy is that of vweaving camel's hair in zigzag stripes, making the diagonals in fence rows acro33 the goods. Various white wool stuffs are also shown for tailor gowns, such as striped lamD's-wool, which has an inch-wide boucle stripe with smooth space of theame width; also the white canvas goods, white cheviot, and white serge. '- f HAT ES Or BOXXETS AXD HATS. Fancy straws cf various kinds are the earliest importations of spring millinery, but the most experienced dealers believe the fine, smooth Miian straws cr English Dan-

etables will remain in favor, especially lor black and colored bonnets. Some very fine Neapolitan braids are shown, with the crown and brim bordered with loops and scallops of straw that give a pretty eifect. For white , straws the cream-tinted Tuscan braids are shown m g:eat variety, some of them being a? cioseiy piaitea as Lgnorn, but a new feature is the introduction of open lace-like ecects in rows about tne crown and the brim cf the Tuscans. Fancy lace straws sometimes form the entire bonnet, while others combine lace with satm straw. Boucle straws showing rows of loops are new, - and another novelty is the entire hat or bonajet croquetted in the familiar shell patterns 7JI straw cord like fine thread. Hackel braid is a stylish rough straw that is made up in stripes around the bonnet, alternating with ; a smooth braid, such as Milan, or else satin , straw. Cream, ecru, and tobacco brown shades axe largely imported in smooth and in rough straws, and there are also many seal brown, fawn, bright red. bronze, and mignonette shades, with both light and green f tints. , Small bonnets, high hats and turbans are

A announced for the next season and the shapes

I are very similar to those now worn. The small capotes have coronets falling back from cioseiy niiea Drims, or eise tne Dnm is lightly fiaring with scalloped edges, and is to De ni:eu in witn puns or gauzy r.bbons and flowers. The crowns are narrow, but both short and long crowns are Imported, showing mat tne nair may still De v.ora eitner i:. t high soft coil, or in a median low plaited - con. or stiii lower in a drooDine tatoean loop. Hound hats for the spring and for city streets'will have high sloping crowns, with the brim wider on the left fide and rolled close against the crown. Formidsumiur wear Leghorn Mats with low crown and brim five inches wide will be revived. For general wear there art? turbans of many shapes, one importation showing nine varieties. The soft-crown turbans will probably be most med early in the spring, with the crown of the material of the dress or of its trimming, and the brim of straw. Both high sloping crowns and low round turbans are seen, and there are oddly shaped melon crowns that will have to be concealed by trimming in order to make them attractive. IIu3tic straw hats for the country are in pla!dsof two contrasting colors braided in intricate patterns. A bishop in the Church of England had in his family a domestic, a woman, a strict KomanSst, who was always thinking about the impossibility of heretics getting to heaven. "Why," said the bishop, "do you think, Mary, that I will not get to heaven. 'Well," said she, 44if yon do, it will be on account of your icconsayable ignoracce." Two brothers, of a mechanical tarn of mind, in fJrarta, Ga., have each constructed a steam engine capable of running a sewing 4 Bcarhine at good speed. The lads are young i their Uraa.

VASHTI.

BY CLARA B. COFFEY. Uncrowned, uncrowned, My desolation and my woe complete; Though in my palace is the joyous sound Cf the loud timbrel and young dancing feet. Oh pitying heaven, veil thy myriad stars; Lord, sweep the thunder-chords to wildly ring, And with. Thy mandate break the bond which bars My pathway to the king. Uncrowned, uncrowned. My power is broken and my place supplied. I bow ia dust and ashes to the ground. Though once I was the king's delight and pride. Thou God of Israel, bear the outcast's plea; Send me Thy aid, Thon mighty One above. Let its soft whispered message bring to me Thy pardon and Thy love. Uncrowned, uncrowned. I plead in vain; the heavens refuse to hear. No lamp to light my dark despair is found, The night of sorrow falleth cold and drear. W here art Thou, Oh my Lord ? aim m ust I call Forever on Thy name, yet call in vain? Beneath the burden Thou hast sent I fall, llear Thou my cry, take pity on my pain. UnerowBed, uncrowned. Mine eyes grow dim beneath their weight of tears. Father, receive my soul and wrap me round With Thy dear spirit, for my freedom nears. All praise to God, mine eves can see at last The undiramed splendor of the Living Son, And all the sorrows of my life I cast I'pcn the bosom of the Holy One ! SAM HELMS' $40 BEAR. INew York gun "I suppose that one of the funniest experiences any of our backwoodsmen ever had," said a reminiscent old resident of this neighborhood, "was the one Sam Helms had once in transporting a live bear from Hawley to Milford. Sam was a member of a family that settled back in the woods before the Indians had fairly left the Delaware Valley. They were a family of queer characters, and Sam was the queerest of the lot. Early in life he manifested a great partiality for rattlesnakes and rum, and his friendship for both lasted until he died. He knew every rattlesnake den for miles around, and in those days the serpents were plenty. Meet Sam when or where you might he always had one cr more of the reptiles stowed snugly away somewhere abont his clothes. If he stopped to talk with you, it wouldn't be a minute before you would see a snake poke its -head out of Sam's shirt front, or may be out of each one of his pockets, and eye you with not altogether pleasant curiosity. To a stranger these forkedtongue apparitions were startling, to say the least, and bis astonishment and alarm were always a source of great amusement to Sam. "About the time the war broke out Sam Helms thought be could make a lot of money by traveling about the country exhibiting snakes, and he got together such a collection of wild rattlers, black snakes, blowing adders and copperheads as probably was neyer owned by any other individual before or since. He travelled all over the country with his snakes, and made a great deal of money, but always came back home without a cent and minus las snakes. It was only the work of a few days, though, for him to capture another lot, and then he would start out on the road again. He invented a box for exhibiting his snakes which made them appear like monsters to the gaping spectators. The box was simply an exaggerated stereoscope, with the snakes lying in apartments at the butt end, so to speak. The audience teppfd up one at a time and looked through a glass the size of a saucer at the other end. This glass was a powerful magnifier, and made a two-foot rattle-snake look as big as an anaconda. "In lb(3 or '01 Sam came home after a new stock of snakes. The llawley Branch of the Erie Railway bad then just been built up the Lackawaxen Valley, and the inhabitants were prouder of it than a circus horse of its plume. Sara wasn't much of a hunter, except for his favorite snakes, but a man from New York had offered $40 for a live ecar delivered to him at Milford. Sam wanted $40, and thought he could make it about as easy in cipturing a bear and driving it to Aiiliora as ne could in any otber way, so he went baca: on the Taupoch ridges and set a trap. He got a bear the first night, lassoed him, and muzzled him with a strap. The distance from where the bear was trapped to Milford was about eighteen miles across country, and Sam intended to tramp it in and take the bear along with aim. The people who lived around there told Sam that, as the railroad company had gone to a good deal of trouble and expense to extend the road up theLackawack and make something out of them and the country, it ought to be patornized. They thought that Sam ought to give the company a little lift by taking his bear and traveling n the cars. Sam said be was in favor of Eublic enterprise, and, although he would ave to walk nine miles to get to the railroad and then ride forty miles and walk eight more to get to his destination, he wou'.d show his appreciation of the company's work by patronizing the road. So he walked his bear into Hawley, loaded it in the baggage car, tied it up in a corner, and seated him sell in the passenger car. The train had just left Kimble's Station, five miles from Hawley, when the brakeman came running into the passenger car. He was pale as a sheet. He grabbed Sam Helms by the arm. 'Say !' he yelled, 'that bear is loose, and is cleaning things in the baggage car?' ''Sam hurried back to the baggage car. Sure enough the bear was loose, and was scattering things around lively enough. The baggagemaster was lying flat on a beam near the roof of the car, an l the bear had everything his own way. He had scraped the strap off of his snout with his fore paws, and was in good shape for all comers. Sam Helms had never weakened to rattlesnakes r copperneads, and didn't intend to show he white feather to a bear, especially as $40 depended on its safe delivery at his "destina tion, bo he buckled right into bruin. Fortunately the bear was a young fellow, and not very heavy. Sam yelled to the train men to turn in and help. The train men didn't turn Lin wortn a cent, and hui found himself in about the süßest wrestling match that was ever seen or heard f. He was strong and tough in those days, and Le struggled up and down and to and fro witn that bear, in the cooped up space the baggage car afforded, for ten minutes. Trnnks were thrown here and therp, and exr .-ess packages scattered heiter skelter in all directions. Sam's clothing was nearly all torn oft" of him. While the tussle was at its height a brilliant idea struck the baggageman on his perch near the car roof. He let himself down from the beam, and slid' ing the door open at the side of the car, he yelled to Sam : " 'Roll the infernal cuss out of the car! ritch him out!" "The door was on thetiide next to the river. There was a big rafting freshet in the Lackawack, tor it was in the spring of the year. Now, Sam didn't intend to roll that bear out f the door if he knew It. for dead, the bear wouldn't be worth $10. Alive it was as good as $49 to Sam, So he howled back, as well as he could, between tumbles and thumps: "'Sling a rope I Don't stand like a lot of n idiots, but sling a rope around himl" "The baggage-master grabbed a rope, and was about to fasten the I bear by the leg, when the bear gave a lunge and roll, and out of the car door went both bruin and Sam. The railroad was on a high bank above the river, but the bank sloped gradually down to the water's edge. When the bear and 8am struck the ground they separated, but the impetus given them by tb traia was so creak that

neither one of them could stop until they

went souse into the water, and didn t stop then until they struck bottom. They came up near the middle of the river about three feet apart. Uncle ph Kimble, 01 uyDerry, was passing along just then with a raft of hemlock logs. Both Sam and the bear pulled for the raft and got it. They scrambled aboard before the astounded raftmen could recover from their astonishment, and before the bear knew what the situation was. Sam seized a rope, and in less than ten seconds had the bear tied down as snug and safe as if it had been a poodle dog. Then Sam explained matters to Uncle Eph and the raftmen, and swore that he would never go out of his way to patroniae a railroad company as long as he lived. "Uncle Eph was on his way to the mouth of the Lackawack with his raft, and then it was to be made into a Delaware Kiver raft and sent on down the river. Nothing could have happened more to the interest of 8am, for the Delaware raft would take him to Milford as straight as could be. So he stuck to the raft, and late in the afternoon ne was in sight of Milford. He untied his bear and made sure that the muzzle was all right, preparatory to be taken off in a boat at Milfor, as the raft was to run on to Dingman's that night. Just as they got to the foot of the upper rift, a mile this side of Milford, the bear turned, and with one spring landed in the river, yanking Sam in after it. Sam lost his hold on the rore. The bear pulled straight for the Pennsylvania shore, und Sam followed as fast as he could swim. The bear got ashore about twenty-five feet ahead of i-am ana kept right on up tne Dansu uy the time Sam got to the bank the bear was half way across a field between the river and the Fort Jervis road. There were woods and hill on the other side of the road, and the bear was making lits best tracks for them. Sam followed on a dead run, hallooing at the top of his lungs to some one to head off the bear. The owner of the farm saw the bear and rushed home to get his gun. Two or three of his hired men joined in the chase. The bear got to the road, across it and into the woods, bam following and yelling on the trail. The farmer got his gun and took a short cut to head the bear off. Sam howled frantically after him: " 'Don't shoot it! It s a tame bear, and 13 only havin' fun. Ketch it alive!' "The farmer heeded not. He got ahead of Sam's bear. Sam heard two shots in quick succession. When he arrived on the scene his $40 bear was lying dead on the ground. The farmer had stopped the chase." A VIGILANCE COMMITTEE Ucdertaltes to Beform a Number of the Citizens of AVaveland. The town of Waveland, Montgomery County, a village of a few hundred inhabitants, has always enjoyed the reputation of being one of the most quiet places in the State. A Justice of the Peace and a constable would accumulate wealth at Waveland at a slow rate. Fights and violations of the law have had no encouragement at that point, and a saloon, which was a recent enterprise in the place, was a financial failure. It was operated by a family named Wolsey, but the members thereof tound the inhabitants, with a few exceptions, arrayed against them, and a few days ago they were com pelled to iuit and leave the town, the cm zens giving them twenty-four hours to find a new place to live. The saloon kept by the Wolseys had a few customers, and these, to a degree, were of the same character as the proprietors. The action of the citizens in forcing the Wolseys to leave the place seems to have stirred up a feeling among the late customers of tne lat ter. and a very unpleasant state of aifairs was the result, the once quiet and peace iul village was made to resound with the noise of quarrels and brawls, and at last, through, sheer necessity, a vitilance committee was' organized. Last Friday night a young physician known as "Buddy" Steele was taken out and soundly whipped. He afterward showed the marks the whip left on bis arms, shoulders and back. The next victim was John Marshall, who was also given a dose of the same kind. The matter became the talk of the town, and men discussed it in whispers on the streets. No one knew who composed the committee, but it was no secret that the whippings administered were, as one citizen expressed it, to cure the victims of "general cussedness." Still the matter, for some reason, was not permitted to get into the papers, and it was only yesterday that the facts came to the surface. Wednesday night the committee called on one MikeDooley and gave him a thrashing. Citizens heard the blows as they fell upon the back of Dooley. "It sounded," said one gentleman who heard them, "like somebody was putting his whole strength into the work, and "after a number of blows had been counted olf, he would stop as if to rest or give way to another member." The committee had its sentries stationed in every direction, and these kept up a constant whistling in order to drown the "swish" of the whip and the outcries of the victim. After the castigation Dooley was released and the committee retired. To say that the town of Waveland is in a state of excitement is to put the case mildly. The citizens are almost wild over the matter, and the query on every one's lips is:" Where will this thing end?" The problem still remains unsolved. RAILWAY DISASTER. Collision of Trains on the Road Between Monte Carlo and Mentone. . Moste Caeio, March 11. Three passengers, an engineer and a guard were instantly killed in the collision which occurred on the railroad between Monte Carlo and Mentone yesterday, l'wenty-six of the passengers were injured, thirteen of them very dangerously, the point where the collision occurred is situated on a cliff overlooking the sea and about 125 feet above the beach. Two of the carriages which were thrown from the track and fell down this cliff, rolled a considerable dissance in the shallow water at the base and imbedded themselves in the sand. Both these coaches were full of people, and the wonder is that all were not killed. The wounded have been conveyed to hotels at Monte Carlo. Many of the travelers were Americans and Englishmen, and the calamity has cast a gloom over the American and English colonies here. It is stated this afternoon that no Americans or Englishmen were killed in the collision. Investigation shows that the accident was due to the neglect of two station masters, each of whom, while operating from opposite ends of that part of the line which was single-tracked was guilty of the same act of carelessness. The one sent the Mentone train on to Monte Carlo and the other sent the Monte Carlo train toward Mentone without fir-t inquiring if the single line of rails was cle r. Another extraordinary feature of thu disaster is the fact that of an entire French family, who were touring together in one of the coaches thrown down the cliff, not one was killed or fatally iujured, although all had their legs broken. Billy Cook, who is ninety years old and lives at Spottsvlvania, Va., has taken for his third wife Nellie Jackson, a colored woman, twenty-fivo years old. Mr. Cook is also colored. Protection From Malaria. The preventative Is the far-famed Southern remedy, Simmons' Liver Regulator, a purely vegetable tonic, cathartic and alterative. It acts more promptly in curing all forms of malarial diseases than calomel or quinine, without any of the injurious consequences which follow their use. Take the Regulator and it will keep your liver, bowels and kidneys in perfect order, and yon will never have an experimental knowledge cf the meaning cf the word m&liria. . " : '

OUR DOG.

BY KIZER. We have a dog. I could say that we have two, but one is of the feminine gender. My wife, in a feeble and unguarded moment, admired the dog of a dog man, and now we are paying up for iL I don't mean to say that the man has dog blood in him, but he is one of these fellows that always has a troop of dogs at his heel, comes into your office with his pack, they smelling around you and sticking their noses into everything, while he talks dog, and is unable to see anything ex cept their fine points. Well, as I said, my wife was unlucky enough to make a remark about his doss that pleased him, and he at once volunteered to obtain her one. About two weeks afterwards he came to me, and said he thought he could get a dog for my wife, as he had promised. I discouraged the idea, as we already had a little midget of the dog kind that my wife had taken in out of pity; and we were beginning to become attached to her. A day or two after he came hustling in and said he had the dog he had promised my wife, and if I would get a collar and chain we would go right away and get him. I was net very enthusiastic, and intimated that we were not so much in need of dog as we had been, but he said the dog was of a very fine breed, conning over its pedigree, and said the opportunity was too good to be lost, and he had been at great trouble to get the animal, and he was very lncky indeed to have been so successful. Seeing no other chance, I went with him, and stopped at a hardware store to buy a collar and chain. I supposed the pup was small, and a small chain would be all that was necessary, but mv friend began to look at some the siae of trace chains, and said I had better get a strong one, and I inauired how large the dog was, and he replied that he was small now, but would grow. I did not want to get a chain large enough for an elephant, and we compromised on a medium-sized one, for which I paid fifty cents, and as I am not a millionaire, this was a heavy outlay to start with. This done, ofl we went for the prize. A few minutes' walk brought us to the place. The walk was enlivened by my friend teilin me of the "fine points" of dogs in general and of this dog in particular. We wended our way into a back-yard a foot deep in mud, and from the number of dogs there, one might conclude it was either a dog hospital or lactory. The owner of the wonderful animal that my friend had secured was there, and he pointed it out, and instead of it being a small puppy, as I had supposed, it was as large as a cub bear. After some maneuvering it was captured, and the collar and chain attached. I then understood why the deg man wanted me to get a large chain. All being ready, I took hold of the chain, gave a whistle and started off, expecting the dog to follow me, but he had no such expectations, and sat down in the mud in such a way as to indicate that he was satisfied with his present board ing-house, and bad no uesire lor a change. The two gentlemen remarked that I would perhaps have to carry him out of the yard and out of sight of the ether ca nines. Obeying lhe suggestion, 1 gathered him up and lugged him out to the street, which is one of the principal thoroughfares of town, and sat him down on the walk and gave him a few hints and invitations to follow me, but the more I hinted and pursuaded the more be didn t taue it. lie stuck to the ground with as much tenacity as an officeholder clings to oUice. I pulled at one end of the chain, and he pulled at the other. I thought i would flank him, and get in his rear and make him back to mv house, but he was not to be deceived. He stuck to the one place on the ground as if he had been glued there. (Juite a num ber of kind, sympathetic people gathered around, who were not backward in offering suggestions as to the best mode of proceedure. At last, seeing no other alternative, I gathered the muddy brute in my arms and walked off, feeling that 1 was the owner of more real estate than I ever possessed before. Before reaching home numerous acquaintances whom I passed oa the street wanted to know if I wanted to sell that doe, or where in the world did I get such a fine animal, and many other such pleasant remarks. When I would stop to rest the passing crowd would look at me and my charge as if they thought I had a trick animal and was the proprietor of a traveling dog show. I reached home at last, tired and muddy, and my wife, seeing me coming with a great black load in my arms, opened the door and I tumbled the animal into the hall and told her there was the little pup that her friend had promised to get her. She was as much surprised as I had been, being led to believe that she was to get a dog about the size of a ground squirrel. A council of war was held, and we" concluded that we must keep the thing until we got a chance to give him away. When he was let loose he darted for a hiding place, and could not be coaxed out except oy physical force applied to the nape of the neck. We thought he Would get over this and become friendly in a day or two if he was treated kindly. So we fed and petted and coaxed, but it was all lost. I would carry him back and forth from the wood-house, thinking by use I could make friends with him, but without avail. One evening when it was time for me to take him out he had crawled under the bed and had located himself about the center. No amount of coaxing or pushing would induce him to budge an inch. The bedstead was a low, heavy walnut It's not ours; we live in furnished rooms. I could not reach the dog from any direction, and I rigged a pry for my wife to raise the bed with while I crawled under. When I had jnst got my hand on the dog the bed came down on me, and I thought the house had caved in. I could see a million stars, and thought I was looking at the heavens. My wife managed to raise the bed up and I ame out with the dog. She declared it was accidental in her letting the bed down, but I have my suspicions that it was done with malice aforethought. When I left the dog in the wood-bouse that night I mentally resolved that he might stay there until he rotted, unless he walked out. The next night I thought I would try a new scheme. I got a box and put it in the back yard, and carried the dog out and put him m it. thinking that before morning he might be stolen or take a notion to run oft About the middle of the night I was awakened by a noise at the front door as of some one in distress, and on opening the door my protege darted in and took a position in one corner of the hallway. I concluded to let him remain there till morning. A he old maid rooms across the hall from us, and he wanted to know the next morning if we were going to turn the house into a dog kennel. He. said if the dog. was left in the bouse any more at night he would kill him. Not wanting the trouble of a dog funeral, I have since then nailed him in a box every night in the woo4-bouse. and I am anxiously looking for some one who wants a fine breed dog. I have learned that my friend was serving his friend in getting the dog off of his hands, and although 1 saw him every day before he made us a present of this dog, 1 have not had the pleasure of feasting my eyes upon his form and pack of dogs since.

One of the most daring and bloody express robberies ever perpetrated in Illinois, occurred on the Chicago, Bock Island and Pacific west-bound express last night between this place and Morris. The facts as learned from the baggageman are that shortly after the train, which leaves here at 12:45 a. m., had left tnip city, he heard a rap at the baggage-car door. Thinking it was the express messenger, he cpened the door . and was met by masked robbers, who covered him with revolvers and demanded his key to the express car. The key was given up, and one robber, who was on top of the bspgage-car, held a revolver on the baggageman through the transom in the roof of the car, while his confederates turned their attention to the express car. It is thought that they rapped on the express car door and Informed the messenger, H. S. Nichols, that toe baggagemen wanted to get in. At any rate the express car door was opened and the desperadoes entered, and then occurred one of the most bloody and desperate strangles on record. Being confronted by the murderous villains, the messenger fonght for his life and the property in his possession. The interior of the express car shows that be fought the robbers from one end of the car to the other, bnt at last the murderous blows that they had rained on his head with an iron poker forced him to succomb and he was left dead in the car. The robbers then Titled his pockets of the keys to the sale which they robbed of all its contents, variously estimated at from 325,000 to $100,000. Checks and valuable packages not containing money they left scattered about the floor. Nothing was known of the occurrence until the train reached Morris, the first Bton west of here, except the coal chute, where the train stopped to take on coal. A large force of officers and men from this place and Morris are now scouring the country, and it is thought the guilty men will be captured, in which event they will probably be lynched, as public opinion in this town is at fever heat, and it will not be safe for the murderers to be brought here. The dead messenger was a married man, and had been in the service of the United States Express Company for about ten years and was one of their most trusted employes. His home is at Chicago. Conductor Wagoner does not remember having seen suspicions characters aboard last night, but the general opinion is that the gang got on the train at the coal chute, two miles west of here, and jumped off just before the train reached Morris. Chicago, March 13. The Evening Journal has information to the effect that the Rock Island Koad will offer a reward of $10,000 for the capture of the men who committed the express robbery this morning, and $5,000 for the arrest of any one ol them. Mr. Wygant, the agent ot the United States Express Company, states this evening that the loss by this morning's robbery will be inside of $25,000. There was a little over $.20,000 in money, and the balance of the stolen matter consisted of packages of jewelry and other things, which he thinks were not valued above 82.500. It is impossible just now to fix the loss exactly. The Express Company is working jointly with the Rock Island Road in endeavoring to catch the robbers, and the S10.0CO reward is offered jointly by the two companies. Assistant Agent Hammond, ot the United States Express Company's office in this city, said, in regard to the murdered man : "Mr. Kellogg Nicholas was a brave and trusted employe of the company. He was about forty years of ase, and had spent twenty years with the company, being one of its oldest employes running on any road out of this city. Mr. Nichols was a married man, but had no children." General Superintendent Kimball, of the Rock Island Koad, said: "it is our belief that the men boarded the train at a coal chute where the train stopped, about one mile west of Joliet. They either lkid in wait there for the train, or left some oi the other cars of the train when it stopped, and went forward and entered thronen the bagRagc car. Oar best information is that the baggageman saw two at least of the robbers." At the murdered man's home it wasleirned that Mr. Nichols left his home at an early hour last evening and was at the theater until time to go to nis car. There was the greatest excitement and sorrow among the unfortunate man's fellow-employes as they tame in from their trips and heard the sad news. "We have little or no protection on en ddoorcars." said one of the messengers. "The doors arc chained, it is true, but a jimmy inserted will snap tne mue irass clasp like a pipe stem. Desides 'Nick' had to take charsre of two cars, and it is my opinion that the robbers got on at the coal ehnte and entered the forward car, while he was in the rear with the baggageman. It is also presumable that when he entered he recognized some of the pane and they were compelled to kill him. Last night when 'Nick checked tip a SJO.OOO paokaee, and in a joking way remarked that if he had that pile he'd take a night off, belittle 11U S V- U 1 '.TV- 1 l'7 lll'j WIJAAW 1 j lU, A . "I went out with 50X00 the other nurht," said anotber, "and 1 thought a tnousand times while on the run what an-easy thin it would have been to have been robbed : how one man, at that. could have done the job. There was nothing easier than for him to climb on top of the car and wait until I bad gone into the baggage cir, and then drop down upon the brake, enter and throw the safe off to coniederates and follow it. They wiu take chances of a broken leg in great emergencies like that." Six passenger tickets were sold last nfcht at the depot ticket office, good from Chicago to Minooka, a little town about twelve miles on this side of Morris, and the circumstance was regarded as suspicious by the railroad men llie baggageman, N. II. Watt, who is a young man about twentv-four vears old. told the follow ing story: "1 was sitting in the car. The chains were upon the door w hich went back to the train, but the door In the front part of the car was not locked, as the car ahead was the one in which was the messenger. He was checking up his runs. I was sitting on a trunk, and just after they had whistled for Minooka I heard a sort of scraping sound on the floor, but not much, just as though some one had rubbed his foot on the door. Before I could turn round a big gun was poked over my shoulder, and a man said: 'You cpeu your mouth or move a muscle, and I'll blow4?bur brains out.' I could only see the lower part of his face: It was covered with some cloth or paper. I sat looking toward the back part of the car toward the rear of the train, when I heard some one at the safe, which was behind me and I could hear the rustling and tearing of papers. This went on for a while, and the man who stood over me said to me: 'if you move or stir hand or foot before the train stops at Morris, that man up there will blow the top of your head off.' I roiled my eyes up, and there was a man's hand stuck through the ventilator, with a gun in it. In about five minutes, it appeared to me, the train slowed up for Morris, and 1 looked up. The hand was gone, and I jumped out of the car. I heard no noise nor any shooting. The first I heard, as 1 said, was the man speaking to me, and at the same time put ting the gun over my snouiaer. 1 ney must nave got into Nichols' car first, and got the key to the sale, before they came into me." A Fight In Mid-Air. Chicago, March 13. People who were passing Marshall Field & Co.'s building, on Fifth avenue and Adams street, yesterday morning, saw a no. el and exciting spectacle. Two men, who were apparently adjusting some of the tackle of the tall derricks used to handle the huge foundation stones, were standing on a little platform not more than six by ten feet, and nearly seventy-five feet above the ground. Suddenly one of them dropped his rope, rushed at the other, who was kneeling, struck him with his fist and then began to kick him. The assailed party struggled to his feet, seized a hammer and made a blow at the other's head. The man with the hammer was evidently furious at the assault upon him. and the other, very much alarmed, started to run, the man with the hammer after him. Round and round the platform they went, the pursuer occasionally striking at the pursued with the hammer, but always missing him. At last the pursued f arty turned, grappled the other, and for a time t seemed that one or bothlwould be thrown over and flashed to pieces on the heavy stone piers below, but a third party, presumably the foreman, tad by this time climbed to the battle ground and separated them. The one who had been assaulted first showed a few bruises on his face, the result of the kicks administered; but the other was unhurt, and In a lew minutes went on with his woik as though nothing had happened. A Catholic priest at Guadalajara, Mexico, was recently murdered while in the discharge of his duty at the confessional. " A man came in under pretense of desiring to confess his sins. Aa the priest leaned over to listen to him the ruffian plunged a dagger Into the priest's breast, killing instantly. The priest had been very popular among the Seople of Guadalajara. Whether the innrerer was crazy or not is not known, for he ran away and made good his escape.

piriiig When the weather grows warmer, that extreme tired feeling, want of appetite, dullness, languor, and lassitude, afflict almost the entire human family, and scrofula and other diseases caused by burners, manifest themselves with many. It is impossible to throw off this debility and eipel humors from the blood without the aid of a reliable medicine like Hod's Sarsaparilla. " I could not sleep, and would get up In the morning with hardly life enough to get out of bed. I had no appetite, and my face would break out with pimples. I bought

Terrible Scenes In a Pennsylvania Almsbouse. Lebanon, Ta., March 13. Of the 105 inmates in the Lebanon County Poorhouseat least 100 of them were poisoned with Paris green yesterday morning at breakfast For five hours the most heartrending scenes were witnessed as the unfortunate victims, old men and wemen, writhed in convulsions under the effects of the deadly drug. In less than an hour after the first alarm was given at least 100 people of all ages and sexes were lying in their rooms and other portions of the premises apparently in the last agonies of death. The scenes presented were terrible in the extreme. Borne of the old people lay stretched on the floor, their eyes fixed and staring and their mouths foaming as if in spasms, while those who were not unconscious groaned with pain and begged those near for something to relieve their burning thirst. At one period the authorities thought that at least eighty would die. Dr. Weiss, the almshouse physician, and a number of assistants, rendered prompt and effective services. A staff of nurses was improvised, and antidotes and remedies liberally applied, but at last accounts at least twelve of the unfortunates were reported to be dying. Investigation showed that only those who had drank cotfee at breakfast had been poisoned and this led to the discovery that during the nicht some person had thrown a pound or more of Paris green into the coppers filled with water in which the coffee is prepared for breakfast Dr. Weiss says that had it not been for the fact that the rofiee was too strongly poisoned, thereby causing those to instantly vomit as soon as the coffee got into thoir stomachs, at least one half of the inmates of the Almshouse would have died. The manner in which the poison was dropped into the coppers is a mystery which the most searching investigation has failed to solve. The idea that any sane person could be guilty of so atrocious a crime is so repugnant to all human feelings that the authorities have discarded it and are going on the theory that some weakminded inmate of the institution procured the poison in some way yet to be discovered and ignorant of the terrible disaster which might follow, threw the stuff into the breakfast coppers. The twelve inmates reported dying to nieht are William Smith, Anna Maria Short, Adeline Bishong, Adam Kreiser, Lizzie Eckert, Michael Strabin, Ikoac Saylor, bamuel Allwein, Jane Reber, Henry Shaffer, Isaac Mayer and Adam Pattiger. The affair has caused considerable excitement throughout the city and surrounding towns. More Light on Attorney General Garland's Telephone Stock. IJap Tu r pen in Los Vegas Optic Yesterday I dropped for a moment into the Attorney General's office and was drawn into a conversation that touched the PanKlectric Telephone, by one of the law clerks. "In this newspaper persistency that Mr. Garland's stock was originally a gift, the public is being misled," was the language of mo informant. Pelieving it a good investment, Attorney General Garland purchased an interest in old Mr. Roger's patent, which was open for sale to the world, and as any other American citizen might have done. Any man, however humble, with the money, might have had the stock at the same price. That General Garland's influence was in any wise to be used as part payment was neither implied nor understood. He believed in the patent, thought it if properly managed reasonably promising of a good return and, consequently, became a shareho'.eer. The transaction was not only legitimate, but far removed from even the possible imputation of wrong. "I have always understood that Attorney General Garland's stock in the Pan-electric telephone was given him in consideration of his influence as a Senator." "And the public is misled to exactly the same understanding, and in the copious varieties of misinformation wide-spread great injustice is done a pure man." At this point of the conversation Attorney General Garland entered the room. "I was explaining," said the law clerk, "that a Biistake widely prevailed in regard to your relations with the telephone. I was saying that it was not a gift, aa popularly understood." "I am astonished," replied the Attorney General, "that so few of my friends seem to grasp the exact truth of the matter. The President observed recently: 'That it was a gift, is not susceptible of easy explanation and really constitutes the only embarrassment.' Mr. President I replied, it was not a gift It was a'legitimate purchase, and I again called his attention to my letter of October 8, 1885. He reread the letter and expressed himself as thoroughly satisfied." As a matter of fact there was no stock given away. It waa understood among the share-holders that no appropriations were to be made. This, however, was afterwards rescinded so far as Rogers was concerned. Being the patentee he was allowed to do whatsoever he would with his share. His was the stock tnat was offered to S. S. Cox, Carlisle and others, and by them declined with thanks. A Alan Who Claims to be the Monon Express Robber. BLOoMiNf.TON, Ind., March 13. Considerable excitement was caused here yesterday morning by the publication of a letter purporting to be from Halstead, Kan., to the Postmaster, over an anonymous name, claiming that Chambers is not guilty, but that the writer is the Monon express robber. The whole affair is a mystery, and it will likely be thoroughlp investigated, while many believe it a hoax. She letter is as follows, with the spelling as in the original: 4'HALSTEAD, Ka., March 4, 1886. "Mr. Postmaster, 1 sean in a Kansas City paper some days ago a account off the conviction of chesley Chambers for the robbery of the Monon Express Company last spring, and have wunderd what Chambers could have thought when the Jewery brought him In guilty. -Since readinthat verdic, 1 have come to the conclusion to rite this to let people know that they have sent the rong man to the penn. Cheslev Chambers new know more about that work than a boy 2 years old, and that's why I am riting this to let folks know that you get know gustlce in this country which is showd in this case, and tho I don't expect this will do Chambers and good perhaps it will open the eyes of the people some the statement 1 have is this: I robbed that express car and have never been suspitioned that I no of. I was hid in a cave near where the robbery wus done for five days after. I don it then I come to Kansas City and staid there one day and have been in Western Kansas ever since. I am sorry that chambers should have to suffer when he ain't guilty and would do anything to help him out if I coald but course that couldn't be done without givin myself up which is not natural for a man to do in such oases. I wan yon to have this published to let the Jewry no that they convicted the wrong man and that when Chambers comes out of prison be is Jnst as good as he was before be was ever arretted as he is a innocent man"
