HNDoo WDows.-Some Hindoo widows
have consented to take second husband
rather than give themselves to the flames,
although in one case, lately, the wife of a
barber, who on his death, declared her in
tentlon OF not surviving, steadily refused to
listen to the eXpostulation of her neghbors
and they at last yielded to her importantly
and assisted at the brutal ceremony. The
woman sat upon pile of wood, with her
dead husband across her knees, while lag
gots were piled up to her shoulders, and her
hair saturated with ghee, continuing to con-
verse with the bystanders while her arms
were burning, and only ceasing to do so
when flame and smoke choked her uttcrance.

few persons except the victims know to what

that city. 1t has become regular branch
OF business, and there are large number of
persons who depend upon it for their living.
They not only infest depots, places Of amuse-

The police find empty wallets by dozens

Near Potsdam, in Prussia gunpowder ia
manufactured from wood ON something like the
gun-cottOn principle. 1t is now some years
since we first heard OF the conversion OF saw
dust into an explosive by means OF acids, on the
gun-cotton principle. but Captain Schulze, of
Potsdam appears to have carried out the inven-
tion into practical manufacture. BY machinery
he cross-cUts beech and other timber into very
thin Veneers, which are easily crumbled into
coarse grained powder or sawdust, which is then
exposed TO the action ofacids, probably in much
the same wav that cotton is to form gun-cotton.
The grains are thus reduced in size and rendered
explosive when dried, without yielding either
smoke or smell in the combustion, but giving a
brilliant light suitable for pyrotechnic displays.

FROM BALTIMORE TO-DAY.
Important Gold Trial in PrOgress-Tne
Western Maryland Railroad COnven-

ttoD.
Special Despatch to The Eoening Telegraph. @
BALTIMORE, February 17.-Arguments of de-
fense in the case of A, s. Abel & Co., proprie-
tors of the Baltimore Sun, versus the Chesapeake
Bank, are progressing to day in the Superior
Court. The arguments thus far have been on
prayers to the Court to instruct the Jury if they
believe an special gold deposit of $4,000 was
made by the plaintiffs, according 10 general un-
derstandlng and bank usage in such cases, and
whether or not the amount is to be paid only in
legal tender or gold, or the equivalent of gold,
at the premium it commanded when Abel & Co.
checked for the gold in May, 1864. lL I
The defensive argument on these prayers
would consume day or two. If the Court de-
cides i'll favor of plaintiffs prayer the case IS
plain, and they must recover; if adversely, then
the matter depends on the decision of the jury
The court room is now completely packed with
bankers, lawyers, brokers, merchants, and pro-
minent business men, all deeply interested in
the ultimate decision. Such a case was never
before tried in our courts because no bank here
ever before refused to promptly pay such special
deposits. The Washington county delegation
regarding the extension of the Western Maryland
Railroad to Hagerstown, had highly sa.isfac-
tory conference with our City Council yesterday
afternoon. The city will subscribe two hundred
thousand dollars to stock shares, all that is de-
sired to complete the work.
