The Mass FOR THE MARTYRS OF
ArAREs.-St. Patrick's Cathedral was
crowded yesterday, as it was generally
imposed that high mass would e ,elebra-
ted for the repose of the souls of Atare-
The ceremony, however, consisted only OF
the ordinary mass with prayers for the dead,
AM. did not occupy much more than half
an hour. It appears from the statement OF
the committee Of arrangements. that Arch
bishop Huges consented, in accordance with
their written request to have grand high
mass celebrated in his church, but that sub
sequently, after meeting Of the clergy and
bishops had been held at his house, it was
thought inexpedient, as it would create
a sensation in the catholic world. During
the ceremony, the Cubans and members Of
the, Lone Starr were presented in body,
each person wearing Grape on his arm.
When the mass was concluded, meeting
of the Cubans was held at Freemason's
Hall, No. 600, Broadway, which was nu-
merously attended The audience were
addressed by Don Miguel T. Tolen, Don
Francisco Aguerro G. Estrada, Don T. A.

TREASURE TRovs-A slave belonging to
a gentleman OF Norfolk, Va, while working
on his masters plantation, was fortunate
enough to dig up, few days ago, a key OF
silver amounting to $1,000 1t was suppos-
ed by many to belong to the Portsmouth
bank, which was robbed a month or two
back: but, on examining the coin, it was
found to be dated back as taI as the year
1897 and 1929. Who it originally belonged
to- and by whom it was planted, will per-
haps forever in spite of many present ru-
mors and cohjectnres, remain an irnpene-
trable mystery.

N. w, VA, RArLRoAD.--We copy in
another column the bill just passed by
the Maryland Legislature, authorizing the
City Corporation of Baltimore to subscribe
a million and half of dollars to the North
western Virginia Railroad. This law has
been passed at the earnest solicitation of
the Baltimore City Councils, which will
make the loans forthwith, thus. insuring
the construction of the work at an early
day. The citizens of Baltimore are fully
awake to the advantages possessed by
this route over that by way of Wheeling,
and that city, together with the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company will render
every assistance to the completion Of the
road.
We understand that Mr.. Latrobe and
Mr.. Cameron are daily expected here to
ascertain what encouragement will be Civ
en- by our citizens for the Clarksburg
route, Immediately after their report
the route will be decided upon.
AS now is the time for our people to
show their feelings in this matter, we hope
that they will not disappoint the cxpecta-
tions they have created in the mind of the
company, but give the right of way on
generous terms, and subscribe literally to
the stock. We could name number OF
our citizens, who are conversant with the
effect of Railroads through the country,
that have agreed to let the company as
sess their damages, and we feel assured
that similar proposition on the part OF
the others would secure to us the road,
and at the same time the land owners
would be well paid for any damage they
may have received.

ARREST OF AN ALLEpaED Sw1NDLER AND
B1oAM1sT.-A man calling himself DR..
O. Havne of New Orleans, who had
the most respectable young ladies of Pau
ducah, KY, was arrested at Clarksville,
Tenn, on the 18th instant, charged with
having several other wives, and also with
attempting to swindle Messrs. Webb IL
Hastings, of Louisville, out Of 200 bales
of cotton. 1t appears, that on Il trip
from Louisville to Cincinnati, he made
the acquaintance of young man from the
latter city, to whom he passed himself
off as rich Southern planter. On arri-
wing at Cincinnati he was introduced TO
the young mans family, and in short
time was married to his sister. The day
after the marriage he pretended he had
received a telegraphic dispatch, requiring
his immediate presence on one of his
Southern plantations, and, borrowing
large sum of money from his new broth
r-in-law, left his wife behind, and star
ted for New Orleans. On his way down
the river, Il is said he proposed marriage
to the daughter of the captain of the boat,
and was accepted, but the ceremony was
postponed until atteT his aIIlNal Nv NeH
Orleans. Subsequently he pretended he
was compelled to stop at place on the
river to see one of his farms-so that the
captains daughter made lucky escape
Returning. he came to Paducah, married
Miss Webb, and again took passage for
Nashville, but his character being dis
covered, he was overtaken at Clarksville,
placed in irons, and sent back to Padu-
cab for trial His Cincinnati wife and
her brother passed through Louisville, a
few days ago, for Paducah.
