CONFESSED AT A REVIVAL. J. W. White, a Kentucky Sheriff; Confesses at a Religious Meeting. CAiiHOTJN, McLean County, Ky., is considerably stirred up over a sensation growing out of a recent religious revival. In 1876 J. W. White, tbe Sheriff of that county, collected $1,000 from the bondsmen of a former defaulting sheritf, sod, failing to make the proper return, put the money in his pocket. The uefalcation was never discovered, and probably never would heve been known but for the recent revival. "White professed religion and re

lieved his conscience of its burden. He related that he had stolen the money, and paid over $1,000 to the minister of the church to be giv6n to the proper authorities. He says he will not rest easy until he has paid the interest on the money, which will amount to about $800. Mr. White's standing in the community is of the highest. AN ELECTION UNDECIDED. Only One of the State Officers Chosen in Khodo Island. A PboviiE2ce, B. I., special of the 4th inst. says: Tho count for Governor and other State officers and members of the Legislature has been concluded. The vote of the State in full for Governor is as follows : Ladd (Rep.), 3f,9;V2 ; D&vis (Dem.), 21.339; Richardson (Pro.). 1.511: Chaco (Law Enforcement), 3,435. The combined opposition to Davis foots up 21,898. Therefore he lacks 518 of an election. He ran ahead of hit ticket ; therefore the other officers, except Attorney General, also fail of an election by the people. For Attorney General, Rogers Rep.) had 21,011; Slooum (Dem.), 21,Sl(i; scattering, 47; Slocuu:s majoiit , 747. The Governor aud other State officers mUI be elected by the legislature, which consists of 108 members, requiring 5 for a majority on e, Ioint ballot. By completed returns the"Sena1 stands : Republicans. 21 ; Democrats, 11 ; witli 4 vet to bo elected. The Housa stands: Republicans, 23 ; Democrats. 30; 12 yet to be elected. The Republicans thus lack ten on joint ballot, and the Democrats lack eight. SILVER FOUND IN IOWA. The Reported Discovery of Rich Quartz Near Fort Dodge. There is considerable excitement at Fort Dodge, Iowa, over the reported discovery of silver on the farm of Peter Kearon, six miles north of that city. The find was made by a well-digger, at a depth of 110 feet. The vein is Mty-four inches thick, and jewelers pronounce the quartz richer than any ever examined by them Several pieces have been sent to a Chicago assayer for examination, and if his report confirms the one made by local jewelers the find will prove a rich one, and can be worked in pacing quantities. GRIEF FOR HER BROTHER.

Ltjct CahiIiXj, a sister of the lato Congressman Peter Paul Mahoney, attempted to commit suicide by throwing herself irom the second story of her residence in Brooklyn, N. Y. A nurse in attendance prevented her from accomplishing her purpose. Uncontrollable grief at the death of her brother, to whom she was strongly attacaed, is said to have unsettled iter mind. Notes from the Capital Thk United States Attorney General has appointed Herbert Hess and 0. P. M. Hubbard, of Indiana, law clerk and confidential secretary, respectively. Fifty employes have been discharged from the United States Government printing office. Other discharges will be made from day to day till the force is reduced to the recess number.

The boldest and most successful bank robbery ever reported in the West was perpetrated upon the First National Bank of Denver, Col., by which the robbers succeeded in getting away with $ 1:1,000. An unknown well-dressed nan entered the office of President Moffnt, of the Denver, & Rio Grande Railway, and inEorned him that he had heard of a plot to rob the First National Bank, of which Mr Moffat is also President. The latter told his visitor he was busy, but would see him a few hours later at the bank. The meeting took place in the President's private office, the stranger showing a revolver and telling Moffat that he mnst hiive $21,000 or he would kill him and then blow up the institution with a boltb of nitroglvcerine, which he pulled from his pocket. Thus menaced, Mr. Moffat idled out a check aud had it cashed; and the unknown, taking the money, backed out to the front door, raised his hat to his victim, and disappeared. 1 The many clerks in the bank seemed bereft of action nt the time. Three men were arrested, tut neither proved to be the right pariy. After two days' trial, Harrison Jackson, colored, was found guilty of murder in tho Circuit Court at Evans villa, Ind., and sentenced to the penitenthry for life. Jackson killed John Roach, a white man, in February, both being at work od the rock pile. After death it was learned that Roach was a member of a prominent family in New York State. OLD William Edwards, a squaw man. who had the mail contract from Washburn to Coal Harbor, Dakota, was murdered by his squaw wife. The oi l man, who had a wife and family in Montana, bought the young Ind ian girl from her parents for H. She had nn Indian lover, and besides this a young mail-driver named McKay, who

was in Edwards' employ, proressea 10 oe madly in love with her. She tried several times to escape from her aged husband, but he baffled each attempt. Old Edwards found himself very feeble, and started his beautiful helpmate out to secure something for the hired help to eat. She built the kitchen tire, and after making other preparations took a butcher knife, walked up to her hnsbind's bed, and cut his throat from ear to ear. Asa KelTjOGG, General Agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad at Cincinnati, committed suicide at the Southern Hotel, St. Louis, Mo. He retired at 2 o'clock p. m., leaving instructions to be called at a late ho ir next morning, and his failure to respond when the bellboy rapped for him lust aroused suspicion that all was not right, and the door was forced. Kellogg was found dead in his bed, and an empty bottle which had contained two ounces of laudanum stood on the mantel. A note written on the back of a Southern Hotel envelope was found. Jt was as follows: I have fought the battle and loan. Bury mo and say as little about me as possible. A fool is better soon forgotten. A stbtjck jury in the Com:ino;a Pleas Court, ot Cincinnati, Ohio, ten minutes after retiring returned a verdict for $2,250 for Moms & Co. against the Bricklayers1 Union No. 1, for dam

eleven individual defendants. This is the second case of a like decision :n that court. Monroe Lasatek and hie wife Amanda, of Jackeon, Mo., have been arrested for the murder of their 14-months-old child. Lasater recently went crazy, and claimed he had been commanded by God to preach. He made his wife strangle the child, claiming that it -would be resurrected in three days, and pinion tbe body to a tree- He af terward took the body down and when arrested he had bean carrying the dead child in his arms 3'or two days. During a drunken quarrel at Topeka, Kan., Morris Keating 6hot and killed Tom Maguire. Miss Chee&y Dye was killed at Zionvillo, Ind., by a rock hurled by dynamite in blasting. At Mansfield, Ohio, Harvey 11. Messmore has sued the New York, Lake Erie

and Western Road for $50,000 damages, j He had been nut off a train by a cou- !

dnctor, and was knocked off a trestle by another train, his arms beuig broken by the fall. Dubing the progress of a gniae called "tramp," at Parkston, D. T Bessie Ehinehart, a 12-year-old girl, in sport, fired a shotgun at Mary Watson, a playmate, killing her instantly. In the United States Court at Topeka, Kan., Judge Foster made a decision in the case of Thaddeus H. Walker, of New York, against M , Hteubans, Frank Kronkhite, and Jas. Haycock, of Lyon County. The actions are brought to ieeover a large Amount of Lvon County real es

tate, valued at $350, 00D. In 1871, 1871, 1873, and 174 the courts ol many counties in Kansas rendered judgments against Walker in largo amounts, and his property was sold to satisfy such claims. Among other buyers was an Emporia man named George Kimball, aud he finally turned the property ovef to the defendants named above. Walker in his suit sought

It is also proposed to give band concerts daily at this stage in the journey heavenward, bo that the first g;allery will probably become the great rendezvous and promenade, and the flaneurs and the hauts gommeus will use it, as; they do the boulevards, for their afternoon stroll, even though they are as high in the air as the towers of Notre Dame.
