The Illinois Stove Company at CHICAGO

The Illinois Stove Company at Chicago,
whose premises were invaded by mob of
eight-hour men, and their employees driven
from work, have notified the city govern
mcnt that they shall hold the city of Chi
cago responsible in damages accruing from
such proceedings, the company claiming
the protection of the law, and believing it
to be in the power of the city to restrain
the violent acts of mobs.
Some twenty years ago there appeared
at Danville, Montgomery county, Mo-,
stranger, who brought with him a tape
line, Typographical map, and small boy.
The boy soon afterwards disappeared, and
the man has ever since led refuses life,
living in cave Of the rocks, and sub
sisting principally by hunting and fishing.
He seems to have possessed mania Tor
gold seeking, and in the prosecution of his
searches for the precious ore he has sunk
nine wells in the solid rocks with an axe,
the deepest one of which is forty feet.
A cargo of wheat recently passed west
ward through Syracuse, which was origl-
nally shipped from San Francisco for
France, and brought thence to New York
and sent to Chicago. This is very Gu

which commerce sometimes makes for it
self. 1t is not likely that shipments of
grain from California for Illinois, by way OF
France, will become general.-Ne~ York
Times.
The Lynchburg Ne,rS reports that a

middle couldn't see it " at all.

The lightning played strange freaks in
the house of Mr.. Joshua Jctirics, Trenton,
N. j., May Is. 1t entered the house on
the roof by the side of the chimney, Shi-
vering one Of the rafters and knocking
down a quantity of the ceiling OF the upper
bedroom. 1t then passed down the frame
of large mirror hanging against the chin
new, shiyering the frame; thence down the
iron support of small centre-table; then
along the floor, ripping up the carpet and
tearing out pieces of the flooring, and SO
out of the side of the house. From this
point it passed along between the tin roof;
ing and the wood Of the kitchen root, and
followed down tin water-pipe into the
ground, tearing up the bricks and making
a hole about foot in depth. No one IN
the house was injured, although a servant
girl was badly frightened by it.

RUSSELL, THE ALLEGED HOTEL THIEF.
Thomas W. Russell, who was arrested
Sunday morning on the charge of perpe-
trating a robbery at the Exchange Hotel
in Richmond on Friday night, was yester-
day evening committed to Jail by Justice
Walter for further hearing this morning
at o'clock. When Russell was captured
on Sunday morning he consented TO re-
turn to Richmond voluntarily, and an of
ticer arrived here from the latter city to
take charge of him. He subsequently re-
pented OF his promise, and 1t now becomes
necessary TO resort to the usual forms OF
law TO enable the authorities here to re-
tain him until a requisition can be re-
ceived from the Governor of Virginia.
Yesterday morning Major Richards in
formed Russell that he desired to have his
picture TO add to the already large collec-
ton in the rogucs' gallery. Russell de-
clined the proiiered honor. Major Rich
ards tried TO convince him that 1t was a
matter of necessity that his picture should
be taken, but Russell refused to be con-
WINGED and he was then offered the alter
native Of having his picture taken or OF
being marched to the hotels of the city
and exhibited as hotel thief. He accept
ed the latter proposition; whereupon he
was handcutied, and !, ilanked by twopolice-
men, was marched first to the Ebbtt
| House, and subsequently to all the large
hotels in turn. He bore up under this hui
initiation remarkably well until his arrival
at Willards, where there was greater
crowd than he had yet encountered, and
| his emotions overcame him, and he wept
| bitterly, at the same time protesting his
| innocence of the crime wherewith he was
charged.
Upon his return TO police headquarters
he still persisted in his refusal to 60 to
| Richmond unless sent there upon requl-
Sition and having secured the legal SER
vices of Mr.. Hine, the latter made appll-
cation for his clients release, and the pri-
soncr was taken before Justice Walter,
when servant at the Exchange Hotel in
Richmond, who had been sent here to
identify the accused, fully recognized Rus
sell as the party suspected. 1t appeared,
Furthermore, that Russell left his baggage
at the hotel, and failed to pay his bill
there, and instead of getting upon the
train in the city, he got upon it while 1t
was in motion outside of the city limits.
As stated above, Justice Walter commit
ted the accused to Jail for further hearing.
Russell is a gentleman in appearance,
dress, and manner, and cvinces much in
telligcnce in conversation. He is not such
a man in appearance as would be picked
out from crowd as a thief; but it appears
that this is not his first offence for Major
Richards and Detectives Clarvoe and Nc
Dewitt recognized him as q man once before
caught for robbery in Richmond. He was
arrested at that time by one of the detec-
tivcs on the steamer from Richmond, but
after being delivered to the Virginia autho-
rites, escaped before he had trial. His
companion in that robbery was convicted
and sent to prison.-NationaI hteIEigencer.

THE USUAL RESULT.-The New York
Tribune gives the following as the result
of the recent strike of the carpenters and
laborers in that city, and it is the result
which in eight cases out of ten follows a
strike. After stating that the contractors
have got men enough to enable them to 60
on with their contracts, ii says:
"Thc real sufferers from this formula
bic and protracted but abortive strike are
not the capitalists, whose mansions and
warehouses have been delayed, but the
poor women and children who dwell in the
CITY of cabins on the cliffs which border
the Central Park. Their supplies have
been cut of. Their husbands, unable at
any time to provide luXuries, have ex-
hausted their Scanty savings, and the small
sums which they get from the societies are
insufficient to purchase many OF the neces-
sares of life. Add TO this the husbands
sourneSs Of temper, wrought by the accu-
mulating evidence of the failure of the
strike, and you have the results of the la
borers' attempt to increase their wages, as
seen in the household. The heads OF fami-
lies cannot, of course, readily 90 into the
country but many Of the unmarried la
borers, despairing of carrying their point
in this city, and having counted the cost
of living in those rural districts where un-
skilled labor is wanted at S2 day, have
gone westward; others have gone to work
under new employers here"

Oscillation or Spirits stopped In
North and south Carolina.

CHARLESTON, S. c., May 2l.-General
Sickles has issued an order prohibiting the
distillation of spirits from grain in the Sc
cond Military District; offenders to b g tried
by military commission. The diminution
of the quantity of food in the Car,inas is
the reason given. The grain is consumed
in distilleries worked in defiance of the
revenue, and this makes food dearer,
while large numbers are dependent on
public and private bounty. The Govern
ment is defrauded of large amount of re-
venue, the authority of its civil officers
is brought into contempt, and the mischief
complained of tends to increase poverty,
disorder, and crime.
