Taking: Mail Therefrom Is Not a Crime According to a Federal Judge Judge Thayeb, of the United States District Court, handed down an interesting decision at St. Louis, Mo., in the case of the United States against Charles Gross, charged with stealing a package of newspapers from the top of a letter box. Judge Thayer decides that the taking of a package of papers from the top of a letter box is no offense against the mail laws. The top of a mail box is not a receptacle for mail, and a package placed there is no more in the custody of the 'mail than a package placed upon the steps of the postoihce. Cooked by Molten Iron. While pouring a heat to make a 4,000pound casting in the foundry of William Tod & Co., at Youngstown, Ohio, it exploded, hurling the molten metal in every direction.

Haniger were found guilty, at Winamac, Ind-, of grand la rceny, and each sentenced to 6erveoae year in the penitentiary. Their arrest and conviction was a surprise to the community in which they resided, as all were prominent and well-to-do farmers. The goods were pillaged from way freights on the Nickel Plate Railroad, and consisted of articles of merchandise of every conceivable description. Thev amounted in value ';o between $3,000 and $4,000. Joseph Clejtmo, a ship calker, at work in one of the vats of the mineral bath works at Port Huron, Mich., became asphyxiated.

After five minutes deliberation at Omaha, Neb., tho jury in the cao of Elizabeth Beechlrr, who killed Harry W. King, Jr., of Chicago, returned a verdict of not guilty, vhen the words "not guilty" were annonuced a shout such as was never heard before in the Omaha court-room went up from almost every throat in the audience. Men mounted benches and swung their hats, women waved their handkerchiefs and wept. No attempt v as made by the court officers to quiet tho outbreak. Mis3 Beechler said to the jury, "All I can say is thnnk you; God will reward you." A delegation of lulies, many of whom were coloied, congratulated her. One venerable colored wc mr.n took her in her arms and almost lifted her oft her feet as sho cried: "God bliss you, honey. n When all who had desiiod :o had congratulated her, sho wa? taken back to jail, where she lay down on her cot and soon fell asleep.

acted. Dan Beelcr, who was jointly accused with Woolfinberger of killing Sheriff Greenbe, was surprised in a thicket on Clinch liiver, rear his home, by a l(-year-old-boy, who was one of a posse of twenty seaiching for the accused. Beeler was ordered to throw up his hands; instead of doing this, he reached for his gun and swore that he would never surrender. The boy then fired both barrels of a shotgun, fairly riddling the desperado with buckshot. There is a rumor that two others of the Woolfinberger ang were killed at the same time. Over 100 shots were fired in the vicinity. The barge sunrise, bound from Norfolk, Va.f to New York, foundered near Philadelphia and sunk. The captain, his wife, and two children, also one senman, were lost. Joseph Coyle. the remaining seaman, was heading the barge skiS alongside for escape when the painter parted and he was unable to reach the barge's side again. He drifted with the tide and the gale drove his boat ashore near the iron pier (Delaware breakwater), whore he was picked up by the Lewes lifestation patrol. The McClellaudtown band of outlaws are creating j,reot terror in Preston Courty, West Virginia, where they went when driven from their refuge, near Murkleysburg. There are six members in the gang now, and they have located near Glade Mills. Reports say the local desperadoes have joined forces with the gang, and that nightly raids arc made for purposes of robbery and intimidation. Tho people of the neighborhood are in despair, and have sent an appeal for aid to Kingwood. An organized effort is to be made to capture the gang.

sular investigation shows that there are still over 3,000 persons on the line of tho works who are in a destitute condition.

The time of th visitors vm not, howvresv entirely taken up with l-eoeptions aad dUmart. They bad come to play baee-ball, And play they di4 almost everynlay. By tlie time the 8j -aiding party finally leftfelboume, after playing in Sydnev. Adelaide,, and Ball or at, there were eighteen clubs already' organized hi the three provincea of Victorfa, New South Wales, and South Australia, ana Mr bhnpson, who has accompanied the party time far, was left in Australia as a sort of instructor and orgitnizer general foi the Australian leaguea. It may be.iaentioneiheje.. too, that a Kew Zealand league was formed also, with clube at A uckland, Wellington, Brisbane, and other jplaces. The singl games the teams wereHble to play at Auchloiid sliniulated a ta e-baU fever that had already been caught, and the New Zealand league seems likely to prove a suoces. The stay in Australia was shortened by the determination to return home by way of India. Buez atid Kurope. it was the intention at first to go from Colombo U Calcutta and play a few games there and at Boinbav ; hut on reaching Ceylon the advices from Calcutta were not encouraging, and after playing one game on tile ancient island, very muc.i to th astonishment of tho natives, who 'could not understand wlrj men should exert thei as lvea in such a violen n anuer who were not. coinx'elled to do eo, th4 jdayers continued to Ad u arid Suez. Cairo wai the next objective jxint, andon Feb. 0 the clay after Sook was reached, the party w ere u idei the shadow of the pyramid of Ghizeh, and in full viow of the Sphixix. Here gfc,mo was played, and although the shifting Bunds of the desert made fielding rather diulcult, the players felt that forty centuries were looking down upoJi them, and exnrcel themselves to theutmost. Huch a tig it was never seen before, and mcy never be aj:ain; the most ancient monuments of almost prehistoric man and the most modern diversion of the newest man, and the most progressive on the lace of the earth,' hre were faci to fao. The .ame at the pyramids was the only ne played in Egypt. No stoj w as made at Alexandria, and the quickest time possible wan mode to Biindm. Come used to be great pla:;8 for physical contests, but the Italians of the present day are not sportsmen. Alrne si t he only spectators ot tho game at Kome were she Americans residentthere, more especially thit Irish-American, ytmths attending the College f the Propaganda, To be sure, King Htanoern and the Queen are reported t,o have passtd ly the Villa Borghese w;:dle the game was going on, and even to have st3pped for a moment or tv o, but there were very few Italian spft xU -rs. At Florence a fine game was played, but t he attendance, as at Home, was almost entirely of American residents and travelers, tc gather w ith a few Englishmen. At Nice tho experience was repeated. At Paris there was a large concourse of people, hxs the French did not at all understand the game, and are not likely to take to it. After a short (Stay in Paris the parry croseed the channel in one of the wr.rst storms known there for years, and reached London on the 9thof March. The experience of the party as guests of theMarylebone Cricket Club waa very like their experience in Australia. The first game on Kensington oval was honored by tho presence of the Prince of Wales, the Dakes of Bnocleuch and

sides that great civic dignitary, the Lord Mayor of London, and about ,(00 people without any title at all. The next game in London waa played on the famous Ixud'a ground, long sacred to cricket. Others were played at the Crystal Palace end at Ley ton's, in the famous "East End," where there was an imme-usc crowd of spectators. It is possible that base-hall may now be added to the licit ot the diversion of the "people's palace." The journey from London through the "provinces" was made in gtaud stvb- in a special train of seven cars, which ine-lv.dea" 10 sloping and two dining ears of tho American pattern. Nobody but- the Queen ha ever before traveled in such fashion iu Oreax Britain. Games were played ;.n Bristol, Sheirk-H, Manchester and Liverpool, which were nil w 11 attended, and which elicited some e:iiti;usia.in among the onlookers. In fact, tho Engiish trip was as pleasant as possible, and the grtat American game was favorably reoiived evervwhere. Still there is small likt ltheod that base-ball will take any such hold of the public mind in England as rt did in Australia, or tha: it will vtry soon become even a serious riv.ii of crxiitt.

Hence, no plats or snrroy'of the town sites will be required for the purpose of entry at the district land office, and the land so occupied mutd. bo identified as the tract applied for. t v the proper proof, specified on page live of saiif circular of July fJ, 18ftT, which must be submitted to t.ne depaitment land offices. 2. No measures can be taken on the land for establishing a town site prior zo 12 o'clock noon of the '211 inst., when, for the first time, the land becomea open for settlement muter the proclamation. 3. It will be Been I y refrinoe to sections J38r and 2388 as given in circular of July 9, 1880, that, they require for effecting a town site entry that the town shall be incorporated, in w hich the entry must be mode by tho corporate authorities for whom the Mayor may act, or, it the town is not incorporated, for xao 3 nde of the County Court for the county in whi; h such town la situate d, to make " ety. As it apjiears that there aie neither lavrg for incorporation of towns nor oounty organizations now existing 21; Okiahoina, it doesnot appear to be feasible for entries to be effected umlei said sections wbii-o this condition corMnue, and r-pplioatioi: s should therefore be made to the district olhcert under said sections ; but in tho absence of tho oincers properly qualified to make entry in trust for the inhabitants, according to the provisions thereof, the reuister and receiver aro directed in ciroular of AJril 1 lt60, to report the same, and await further instructions brfore allowing entry of the land.

ALLEGED PLOT OK BOOMERS. Xo Burn the Santa EJr.'Ogos. So that Outsiders Cannot KeacU Oklahoma A reliable man from Oklahoma stated at AVinfield, Kan.y that he had learned that tho boomers, hundreds f whom are hid in the thickets and brush on the many streams in that country, have combined on a plan to burn all the bridges on the Santa I'e 011 the night of April 21, or sooner, so that no traius can get into Oklahoma or. the 22d. He says the boomers swear they fire going to have1 the claims they have staked out at whatever cost. People bour.d for Oklahoma are arriving daily at WinJield from ail over the Union, and excitement runs high. Thirty-five "wagons arrived from Mead, and Comanche Counties one day, and camped just west of that town to await the proper time to move to Oklahoma The Santa Fe Company has detectives iu the field, and will guard nil bridges.
