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, the Sheriff of that county, , collected $1,000 from the bondsmen of a former defaulting sheriff, aud, failing to make the proper return, put the money in his pocket. The defalcation was never discovered, and probably never would have been known but for the recent revival. White professed religion and relieved his conscienco of its burden. He related that he had stolen the money, and paid over SI ,000 to the minister of the church to be given to the proper authorities. He says h.9 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 Rhode Island. A Pboyidexce, R. L, special of tho 4th inst. says: The ont for Governor and other State officers and members of the Legislature has been conclude! The vote of the State in full for Governor is as follows : Ladd (Rep.), 16,952 ; Davis (Dem.), 21,350; Richardson (Pro.). 1.511 Chace (Law Enforcement), 3,435. The combined opposition to Davis foots up 21,898. Therefore he lacks 518 of an election. He ran ahead of his ticket ; therefore the other officers, except Attorney General, also fail of an election by the people. For Attornev General, Rogers (Ker." had 21.011 ; Slocuni (Derm), 21.816; scattering, 47; Slocum's majority, 747. The Govarnor and other State officers will be elected by the Legislature, which consists of l'JS members, reqr.iring 55 for a majority on a, joit-t ballot. By completed returns the Senate stands : Republicans, 21 ; Democrats, 11 ; with 4 yet to bo elected. The House stands : iiepublicans, 23 ; Democrats, 35 ; 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 Eich Quartz Near Fort Dodge. . Thebe is considerable excitement at Fort Dodge, Iowa, oyer 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 fifty-four inches thick, and jewelers pronounce tho quartz richer than any ever examined by them. Several pieces have been sent to a Chicago assayer tor examination, and if his report confirms the one made by local jewelers the find will prove a rich one, and can be worked in paying quantities. GRIEF FOR HER BROTHER.
A Sister of tho Late Congressman Mahoney J
Attempt to Commit Suicide. Mes. Luox CAHiiiL, a sister of the lato Congressman Peter Paul Mahoney, attempted to commit suicide by throwing herself from the second story of her resilience 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 attached, is said to have unsettled her mind. Notes from the Capital. The United States Attorney General has appointed Herbert Hess -and O. P. M. Hubbard, of Indiana, law clerk and confidential secretary, respectively.

A bbeak in tho Erie Canal, near Medina, N. Y., did much damago to surrounding farm?. The New Yoik, Mahoning and Western Bailway and the Oh o, Indiana and Mis fiouri Valley Road have been consolidated under the name of the American Midland. Mr, William Thorpe, of New York, is the new President. John A. Dufp, the wall-known theatrical manager, died at his home in New York City. Be was attacked with a stroke
WESTERN HAPPENINGS. The boldest nnd 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 $21,000. An unknown well-dressed man entered the office of President Moffat, of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway, and informed 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 nee him a few hours later at the bank. Tho meeting took place in the President's private office, the stranger showing a revolver and telling Moffat that he must have $21,000 or he would kill him and then blow up the institution with a bottle of nitroglycerins, which he pulled from his pocket. Thus menaced, Mr. Moffat tilled out a check and had it cashed; and the unknown, taking the money, backed out to the front door, raised his hat to his victim, and disappeared. The many cle::ks in the bank seemed bereft of action at the time. Three men were arrested, but neither proved to be the right party. After two days' trial, Harrison Jackson, colored, was found guilty oi! murder in the Circuit Court at Evansville, Ind., and sentenced to the penitentiary for life. Jackson killed John Roach, a white man, in February, both being at work on the rock pile. After death it was learned that Roach was a member of a rrominent 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 old man, who had a wife and family in Montana, bought the young Indian girl from her parents for $40. Sha had an Indian lover, and besides this a young mail-driver namel McKay, who was in Edwards employ, professed to be madly in love with her. fc.he tried several times to escape from her aged husband, but he baffled each attempt. Old Edwards found himself very feeble, and started his beautiful holpmato oat to secure something for the hired help to eat. She built the kitcben tire, and after making other preparations took a butcher knife, walked up to her husband's bed, and cut his throat from ear to ear. Asa Kellogg, General Agent of the Southern Pacific Railroad at Cincinnati, committed suicide at tho Southern Hotel, St. Louis, Mo. He retired at 2 o'clock p. in., leaving instructions to be, called at a lale Lour next morning, and his failure to respond when the bellboy rapped for him first 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. It Avas as follows: I have fought the battle and lost. Bury me and say as little about me as possible. A fool is better soon forgotten. A struck jury in the Common Pleas Court, at Cincinnati, 0 hio, t en minutes after retiring returned a verdict for $2,250 for Morris & Co. against the Bricklayers1 Union No. 1, for damages sustained by reason c f the defendant organization instituting and carrying on a boycott against the plaintiffs, who ere furnishers of builders' materials in that city and Springfield, Ohio. There were eleven individual defendants. This is the second case of a like decision hi. that court. Monroe Lasater and his wife Amanda, of Jackeon, Mo., have been arrested for the murder of their 14-months-old child. Las at or 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 the body to a tree. He afterward took the body down and when arrested ho had been carrying the dead child in his arms for two days. During a drunken quarrel at Tcpeka, Kan., Morris Keating shot and killed Tom Maguire. Miss Cheely Dye was killed at Zionville, Ind., by a rock hurled by dynamite in blasting. At Mansfield, Ohio, Harvey R. Messmore has sued the New York, Lake Erie and Western Road for $50,000 damages. He bad been put off a train bv a conductor, and was knocked off a trestle by another train, his arms being broken by the Jail. During the progress of a g-une called "tramp, n at Parkston, D. T., Bessie Bhinehart, 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. Steubans, Frank Kronkhite, and Jas. Haycock, of Lyon County. The actions are brought to recover a large amount of Lyon County real estate, valued at $350,000. In 1871, 1871, 1673, and 1874 the courts of many counties in Kansas rendered judgments against Walker in large amounts, and his property was sold to satisfy such claims. Among other buyers was an Emporia man named George Kimball, and he finally turned the property over to the defendants named above. Walker in his suit sought
port, Ind., Atkinson's pistol was knocked from bis hand by a bystander, aud was dischaiged, tbe ball s:rikiny another bystander in the head, indicting a serious though not fatal wound. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS.
Jur Piutchett, who assaulted a small white girl near Danville, Va., in June last, was hanged at Chatham. He was a strong negro, about 30 years old, and when the officers attempted to spring the trap on him he fought like a tiger. Four deputies were called to assist in the awful deed. The prisoner fell down and lay prostrate on the scaffold, clinging to the framework. The trap was finally sprung, and by main force the deputies pushed him off the saffold after the rope had been tied about his neck. The struggles of the condemned man lasted fully eleven minutes. Under the new statute, the body was shipped to the University of Virginia for dissection. The land purchase in Tennessee by General Alger, who is associated with Messrs. Foraker and James G. Blaine in the transactions, turns out to be a vast coal field. On 7,500 acres of the total tract of lf,000 acres purchased, there are three distinct veins of very fine bituminous coal. The company will aim to supply the entire region south to the Gulf. A narrow gauge railway will be built to connect the mines with the Tennessee lliver, and the coal will be floated to New Orleans. To get the opening made and the mines in proper shape will cost, together with the purchase money, $1,000,000. THEN ATIONAL CAPITAL.

FRESH AND NEWSY. Late advices from the City of Mexico say the Board of Health of that city has pronounced American bird an adulteration, unfit for use, and prohibited Its sale. This action has been sustained by Minister Itubio, and will bo effective throughout the republic, a ad instructions have been given to all custom houses to bar the product out. Mr. Hatjstept, of Jimmines, Haustedt & Co., the New York representative of Hyppolite, says that it is very probable that peace will be declared in Rayti. Information had reached hint, he said, by the steamer George W. Clyde that the commission recently appointed by Legitime to visit Hyppolite and bring about an end to hostilities had seen the leader of the north. Hyppolite had expressed himself as well pleased with the terms submitted by Legitime. Within a week Mr. Haustedt expected that Hayti would be at peace. At a meeting of tie stockholders of the Southern Pacific Kaihoxd, held at San Francisco, the old Board of Directors was re-elected, with tho exception of S. F. Htiilman and A. N. Towne, vice Timothy Hopkins, resigned, and Charles Crocker, deceased. One hundred millions of slock was represented. In a special report, in answer to a Senate resolution, General G:reely, of the Signal Office, states that Oregon and Washington are "favored with a climate of unusual mildness nnd equability," and that the H conditions favor to a'marked extent the growth of most cereals and other important staples." K. G. Dvs & Co.'s review of trade foi last week says: The general tendency of reports indicates that trade in both improving and hopeful. At Omaha business is very good, at Kansas City and Chicago fair, and as Cleveland larger than last year, though profits are smaller. Rapid growth of tributary regions accounts for improvement at far Western points. All the interior money markets are well supplied. No material change appears in collections. Two considerable failures at Milwaukee are attributed to bail collections. In the woolen trade there is some increase in demand and wool is more firmly held. The firmness in cotton goods abates with the termination of the great Fall Hiver strike. Tt.e iron trado is weaker. The coal market is pronounced the dullest for ten years. At Pittsburgh closing of the Monongahela mines for a fortnight is contemplated, and the trfwio has btvn bad and grows wore. The gltius business in also depressed. Another decline in wheat, 3 for tho week. Cora nnd oats are unchanged, and pork products a shade strong. Hugar U in active demand. Coffee is unchanged. Cotton has listn a shade. Once more tho week shows a decrease in the average prices cf all commodities, which are a third of 1 per cent, lower than a week ago. The supply ot money In ample. Foreign trade in Februarv showed an increase of nearly ti per cent, in exports. The weakest point of late has been the stock market, which has declined about per share for tho week, with rumors of 'receiverships, and largo selling by investors on account of past mismanagement and losses. The selling on foreigTi account if long continued would affect the monetary prospect, and it is growing clearer that the interstate law as amended has not i ncreased the- confidence of security-holders. The business failures numbered 'A:), as compared with a total of 249 last week arid 201 for the previous week. For tho corresponding week of iast vear the figures were fci3. MAltKf T KKrOKXS.

Penetrating: the Clouds a Distance of One Thousand Feet Built at an Kxpense o One Million lollnrs A XrutUiul Picture of tho Obelisk. Paris special telegram. The great Eiffel Tower, which will be one of the principal features of tho Paris exposition, has b:en officially opened at Paris. Premier Tirard delivered the oration. The tower cost nearly, if not quite. $1,000,000, of which 300,000 was paid by tho French Government. The tower stands immediately upon the bank of the south side of the river, on the Ciiamp de Mars. Its base forms a gignm.ic archway over the main path leading from the bridge into
i i I Lit Jl 1 I Ml
THE EIFPEIj TOWER. the central grounds of the exposition. As can be seen from tbe picture, the tower is built entirely of Iron girders and pillars, in the simple construction of four great ehr.i'ts, consisting of four columns each, starting from the four corners of the base uud merging into the single great shaft which forms the main part of the tower. This shaft ends in the great cupola, or Alpine re caption-room, which, in turn, is surmounted by a still higher lantern or lookout, whose observation platform will be upon the dizzy plane of 1,000 feet. There are three galleries circling the tower. The first great gaPeny, just above the archway, stands 185 faet above the ground, and measures newly 300 feet each way. Here are placed cafes,, restaurants, reading-roomfl, smoking and loungiag compartments, and all the amusements and comforts of a French resort. Thousands of people at one time can be made at home in thiei great inclo sure far up in tho cool air without any necessity of crowding or treading on one another's toes. It is also proposed to give band concerts daily at this stage ir the journey heavenward, so that the first gallery will probably become the great rendezvous and promenade, and the flaneurs and the hauts gommeux will use it, as they do the boulevards, for Hheir afternoon stroll, even though they are as high in the air as the towers of Notre Dame. The second gallery, still forming part of the base of the tower, rests lightly upon its iron supports at a height of 380 feet, or about fifteen feet higher than the highest part of Milan Cathedral. Here is a repetition of the life upon the first gallery below, for a more select few. Finally, as the tower mounts up farther and farther, past the level, first of St. Peter's, then the Strasbourg Cathedral and the great pyramid, the cathedrals of Houen and Cologne, and, last of all, the great Washington monumect, and then stretches its slender shaft through the remaining hundreds of feet toward the summit, there is placed at tbe top, where the cupola begins, a tb:rd gallery, 870 feet in the air, small i:a comparison to the others, but still more than fifty feet broad each wav. Rest and refreshment will be found here, as well as below. The whole tower weighs aboat 15 ,000,000 pounds, cr 7,500 tons. This weight is distributed over the foundation soil, it is computed, at a pressure of a little less than live rounds to tho square centimeter. Also the wind resistance of the tower is calculated at 050 poundu to tho square meter, while the highest wi:id ever observed in Paris would not give a half of this pressure. Tie tower is fitted up on the inside of the shafts with elevators. There are half a dozen connecting the first two galleries with the grounds, and two go to the top, the extreme height of which is 1,000 feet.
