GRoss OUTRAGE UPON A SAnon-ShortIv alter
the arrival of the sloop-of-war Vincennes at Bos-
ton from the coast of Africa, as we learn from the
Adrerttser OF the 2Sth inst, John Mclaughlin one
OF her crew, gunner, about fifty years old, went
to board at the House of John c. McCann in Fleet
street, called "Liberty Hail." About week after
wards Mclaughlin drew his pay, which amounted
to about $500, and desiring to 90 to New York
went to McCann to settle his bill before leaving
the house. McCann refused to let McLaupblin
leave, and he finally offered him Sl2O if he would
let him 60 McCann took the money, and
Mclaughlin was about to leave, when McCann
iorceG him into an upper room in the house, and
mas Kept him in confinement there until the 9th,
when officer Newc0mbe, of the Harbor Police
learned of the affair, and at once liberated
Mclaughlin, and arrested McCann on a charge of
robbery by force and violence. McCann was com
mltted ior examination this morning. This is but
one OF the many outrages that are daily perpetra-
ted upon unsuspecting sailors, and it is to be
hoped that the villainous "shark will receive his
deserts

correspondent contends that the blossoms of the
allanthus produce malaria, and says hundreds of
our citizens are greatly annoyed and made i'll at
this season with the elluvium diffused by the flow

down. We have always regarded the outcry
against this iavorite shade tree as species of pre-

A VTLLAINOUs PLor-The Detroit Free Press
states that villainOus plot was revealed bv two
rogucs, named Charles Smith and Reed Bowman
who were recently sentenced to the State Prison
The plot was to destroy the railroad bridge at
Mount clemens, on the Grand Trunk Railway and
allow the regular passenger train to precipitate
itself into the river. The object of this fendish
proceeding was plunder alone, the perpetrators
intending to conceal themselves in the vicinity and
watch for the catastrophe, and thence pOunce upon
the victims on pretence of assisting them from the
wreck. They went so far to commence work on
the bridge, removing, by the use of a wrench a
number of nuts from the long bolts which support
the trestle-work. But for the detection and con-
yiction of the rascas for other crimes, another
Des Jardines disaster, with its bloody record
would have been added to the list Of railroad
tragedies.
MORE THAN ENoUGH-AN OUNCE OF ARsENIC-A
young man attempted to poison himself at the Re
we're House, in Decatur, Illinois, on Wednesday
night of last week. He had been drinking immo-
deratey for several days, and had got pretty well
sooered when he did the act. The porter of the
hotel gave the alarm, and the Young mans room
was soon filled with crowd. He caught up dirk
knife, and drove the crowd down stairs in a rapid
manner. Physicians were summoned quickly, and
remained with hi most of the night. He was
ravlng crazy Tor several hours after taking the
poison, and the only way his strength could be
mastered was by tying his limbs with stout ropes
The letters which he laid upon the table when he
first entered the room, were directed to his rela-
tiyes, informing them that he was determined to
kill himself. He took an ounce of arsenic-enough
to kill five hundred personsand the overdose acted
as an emeticj thus saving his life.
NEWSPAPER CRcULArIoN.-The New York He,old
is mistaken in its belief that sale of200 900 in two
days, account of the fight for the Championship,
is totally unprecedented. In 1921 the London
Times published letter from Queen Caroline to
her husband, written for her by William CObbett
and 200 600 of that days paper were sold. In
February, 1929, the introduction Of Catholic
emancipation by Peel; in March, 1881 when the
Reform Bill brought n aud in 1916, when
Peel declared his intention to abolish the Corn
Laws, the Times, each occasion, sold over POO
600 copies The ordinary circulation of the Times
is close upon 50, 900 day-or about double that of
the New York Herdid.-Pbd. Press.
A YOUNG GIRL HANGING HERsELF-On Wednes-
day night last Miss Della Vanduzer, aged seven
teen years, whose mother, widow, resides about
two miles north of lie Claire, Scott county, Iowa,
was found hanging by the neck dead, in a stable
near the house. 1t appears that there was a sing
ing class in the neghborhoOd the evening, and
her brother and sister attended it. She left the
house, and her mother supposed she had gone also
Upon the return of the family from the school, her
absence being made known to her mother search
was made and her body found above described.
Disappointed affection is said to have been the
cause of her committing the act
Slow RUN.-There has been for week past
run upon the Tecumseh (Ohio) Bank. Holders of
bills, to the amount OF about ten thousand dollars
have beset the doors of the institution but as the
notes are redeemed in specie, and the only coin
used in liquidation are five cent pieces, it may be
readily understood that but little progress is made
in the work. During the forenoon Of Tuesday last
but one hundred dollars were thus redeemed. 1t
is said that the hotels in the place get more money
than the b-hoders, although, if the latter wait
long enough, they will get their entire claims.
