POCKET PICKING REGULAR TRADE In
BosToN.-The Boston Journal remarks that
few persons except the victims know to what
extent pOcket-picking is carried on in that
city It has become a regular bra1ch Of,
business, and there are a large number OF
persons who depend upon it for living.
They not only invest depots, places of amuse-
ment and railcars, but are continually proWl-
ing about the large dry goods stores. The
police find empty wallets BY dozens which
have been thrown over fences or behind
old buildings. Fifteen were found BY an
officer few mornings ago in one place.

The OVERLAND TRAVEL WEsT.-Holaday's
overland stage and express lines from the Mis-
souri, river to Salt Lake, aId up to Montana and
Idaho have been Consolidated with the Butter
field opposition and the whole put into grand
joint stock company. Nearly two million del
lars were paid Holiday for his interests; but be
retains for the present a majority of the stock
The company bears the name of "The Holiday
Overland Express Company" and Mr.. Holiday
is President. Daily stages will be run from the
termini of the several branches of the Pacific
railroad outfrom the Missouri river as they pro-
gress westward, meeting at a common point
near Fort Kearney, where the railroads them
selves are expected to meet, and where will be
the grand station Of the line, and from here
westward over the Plains to Denver will be run
two lines of stages daily, and more, indeed, if
necessary, to accommodate the large and in
creasing travel. The stations on the line have
been put in fine condition, the stock increased
and improved, the Indians are likely to behave
we'll this season, and the trip by stage to Colo
rado will henceforlh be a quick safe, inspiriting
and delightful journey. Besides the great flow
of travel for business purposes 10 Colorado and
beyond to Montana and Idaho, there is likely to
grow up this summer a large pleasure travel to
the Rocky Mountains; and another season, when
the state road on to Salt Lake by the Berthond
Pass and the Middle Pass is finished and put in
good order, this will be stimulated, by the fa-
cilties of the. route and the enthusiasm Of those
who have gone over it heretofore, or shall go
this year, to degree almost incalculable, and
surely very profitable to the stage owners, and
very useful to our national interests. Hence
forth, "Across the Continent" will divide fas-
cinations with 'Across the Ocean," for the

| INDIAN THEFTs AND MURDER IN FLISr.-It har-

Stable, lost six animals and the saddles and
BLANKETS. U. K. johnson lost one and others
whom we do not know the remainder The cir
cumstances of the murder are briefly these; Mr.
Gassett was alone in his tent about oue-balf
mile more below Orc. The savages crept
through the willows and attacked him with a
long handled steel shovel, cut bis head shoul-

through the body and left arm-the muzz!e of
the gun burning his shirt into cnder near the
entrance of the ball. Every circumstance leads
those who examined the corpse to this conclu-
sion. Being attacked with a shovel, he would
naturally throw up his arms to ward off the
blows, and the flesh was cut downwards in
strips four to six inches long on his arms, his
head and shoulders also bearing evidence ofthfs
method. The shovel was bent nearly double

bright little cherub, about three years old,
with fair hair, blue eyes, and complexion
of mingled lilies and roses. She wore Maria

black velves ribbon, edged with white. Her
little cloth cloak was Of a light drab color,
ornamented with bands of silk and fancy
buttons. Her hat was of English straw,
trimmed with tippet and muf of ermine
completed the costume of the little fairy,
and she looked as enchanting as any mothers
darling need look. She was borne in the
arms of colored nurse, of whom she seemed
very fond, and: to whom she was prattling
with exuberaut gaiety:e The dark eyed, sad
looking lady who followed her in widows,
cap and garb Of deepest mourning, completed
the picture of sunshine and shadow.

Suicide in High Life-Self- Destrtlc-
tiOn of One OF Our Wealthiest
Citizens. T
Another soul has been ushered into eter-
nifty, and passed ITO that bourne from
whence no traveller returneth." Yesterday
morning, between the hours of four and
five o'clock, William G.. Ewing, IT,, adopted
son of the late William G.. Ewing commit
ted suicide by shooting himself with re-
volver, through the head. Yesterday, all
manner of rumors were current on the
street. none of which were correct.
1t appears the deed was premeditated, as
the deceased had been heard to say that
when he got helpless he would not remain
long on earth: that he would end all his
troubles by self-destruction. He has been
Ill for months past, and most all winter
confined to his bed. His disease was slow
consumption and his sufferings were great /:
he was anticipating the grim monster at
any hour. On Friday and Saturday last,
he was busily engaged in destroying let
ters, concerning his domestic difficulties,
as he was divorced from his wife, the
eldest daughter of Colonel G. w. Ewing,
senior, several years ago. One child, a
lovely little girl, was tho fruit of this
union, After the, separation, Mr.. E. took
the child, which was boarding with
him at the residence of Mrs. Esther Ewing,
cor. Ewing and Berry streets. On Satur-
day evening, he sent for his attorney, Judge
Morris, to draw up his will, in which he
left the bulk of his wealth TO his daughter.
Yesterday morning, at the hour mentioned
above, Mrs. Il. had left his room, when he
arose from his bed and walked TO bureau
In the room, upon which was a mirror I;
opening one of the drawers lie took re-
yolyer, and standing in front of the mirror,
deliberately placed the muzzle of the
weapon about an inch above and in range
of his ear, and pulled the trigger and he
fell to the floQr corpse. Instantly Mrs, T..
rushed into the room, but discovered that
| life was extinct. She Immediately notified
the authorities the Coroner was sent for,
who had jury empanneled. the verdict of
which was In accordance with the facts we
have given. The deceased, we believe, was
born In this county, and had resided here
very near ALI his life time and was well
known, not only here but abroad, as he was
| formerly connected with the business house
Of G. w. q w. G.. Ewing, the well known
Indiana capitalists, He was about thirty
six years of age, and leaves a large circle
of friends and acquaintances, who will
mourn the rash act.

Closing Scenes in the Trial of
PrObSt--Appcaranc of the Pris-
oner--The Verdict.
The trial of Antoine Probst for the muir
der of Christopher Deering, his wife, four
children, niece and farm boy, Cornelius
Carey, was concluded on Saturday at Phil
adelphla. The murder was committed just
three weeks before, The evidence was cir
cumstantial in its character, but over
wbelming. A reporter of the trial thus de-
scribes the appearance of the prisoner:
He has fair, open forehead, but the brows
slightly lower over pair of small, express
sionless eyes, close set together and that
seldom open to look around. Itwould seem
rs II he was incapable of taking a wide or
extended glance around without moving
his head for the purpose. From the fore
head down, the contour of the face is sinis-
ter, the eyes especially; the nose Is mis-
shapen, without regular form, short, and
the lower part standing out abruptly and
horizontally from the face. During the
proceedings he seldom lifted his head, but
kept constant gaze upon the ledge of the
dock before him. He exhibited little feel
ing beyond flushed appearance about the
eyes, and an occasional, but almost imper-
ceptible tremor or twinge, as the eyes of
the people were turned on him, when the
jury came into Court and slngly pronounced
the verdict which they had come to. Thus
he sat throughout the proceedings taking
no note, and manifesting no feeling what
ever in what so nearly concerned him, be-
yond what might be surmised, that he
wished the whole affair was over, and that
he was once more safe in his cell.
The jury were absent only twenty min
utes. Their verdict was-guilty Of murder
in the first degree. Tuesday, May first,
was fixed for the day for pronouncing his
sentence.
Considerable uproar from without pre-
vailed upon the return of the verdict the
noise evincing that great crowd must be
there awaiting the exit of the prisoner. The
court had ordered the doors Of the court to
be previously closed, but the result had
gone out and intensified the excitement
ten-fold, and increased the desire to see the
culprit. Some three or four hundred po-
lice were stationed in Independence square
and around the building, and it was only
when every preparation was made and pre-
caution observed TO protect the life of the
prisoner and preserve 10 for the executioner
that the doors were again opened, and the
prisoner was escorted out by strong body
of police, who entered the building for the
purpose. When Probst made his appear
ance the hootings and yells of the mob
were something terrible, and indicated a
spirit that would anticipate the further ac-
ton of the law If not kept under restraint
by the imposing force of police that hedg-
edthe prisoner in. The miserable man was
safely got into the van, which proceeded
through double line of police till it reach
ed the limits of the crowd, when it was
driven rapidly off.
