A HORRID FATE.
A Man suGooatcd to Death in a LimeIsiln.

About o'clock this morning man named
Thomas Goyle was found dead on top of Dow
ling's lmekiln, on Rock Creek, just above the
Bridge street bridge, with the head and upper
portion of his body badly burned and charred.
Coroner Potter was notified but deemed it un-
necessary to hold an inquest, in view of the
facts, which are as follows:-It appears that de-
ceased, who was native of Georgetown, and 26
years of age, has been for some weeks wandering
about and sleeping under any shelter he could
find, and last night about o'clock, he obtained
a chew of tobacco from boy on Bridge street,
and went off, saying that he was 'bitter cold,
and was going to the limekiln to warm himself"
Nothing more was seen of him till this morning
about 5 O'clock when some of the employees,
after having drawn the kiln, went on the top
and there found the deceased lying on his face
with folded arms on the heap of burning shells,
where he had no doubt early in the morning
gone to warm himself, and falling to sleep be-
came suffoeated to death, after which the slow,
steady heat commenced to burn and char the
body. The body was Immediately drawn out of
harms way and there left till the arrival of the
Coroner as above stated. Deceased was edu-
Gated at Georgetown College, where he evinced
talents of the highest order Washington Star,
Saturday evening.

Excitement Over Mr.. CuIlom's Bill mt Salt
Lake.
SALT LAKE, March PA very respectable
meeting of merchants and professional men was
held in Masonic Hall last night, to adopt a
memorial to the Senate of the United States,
praying for the expurgation of those sections of
Mr.. Cullom's bill which punish by fine and i'm
prisonment the continuance of the patriarchal
family relations. The meeting was addressed by
Messrs. Kelsey, Harrison, Stenhouse, Marshall,
Jennings, Shearman, Tullidge, Chislett, Walters,
and Lawrence, who argued that liberal policy
towards the offenders of the past would be of
advantage to the government of the whole
country and that such action would arrest
polygamy in the future.
The meeting was addressed by Federal
officer, and by an apostate Mormon named Cor
don, who wanted the fullest application of the
law. The Federal officer was respected for his
manliness, but Gordon was treated with con-
tempt.
Messrs. Robertson, Marshall, Carter, Hussey,
Kahn, Walker, and Hollister, non-Mormons, were
appointed a committee to prepare memorial to
be telegraphed to the President of the Senate.
The interest on this subject here is intense If
the Senate passes the House bill In Its present
shape the Territory of Utah will become desc
latiOn. ...

FROM THE WEST.
Indian Affairs.

indian Anulrss
CHICAGO, March 28.--Private advices from
Cheyenne are to the effect that Governor Camp
bell disapproves of the starting of any expedi-
tions to explore the lands reserved by the Gov
ernment for the use of the Indians, as opposed
to the Indian policy of the administration, and
a violation of our obligations. 1t is new stated
that the Bighorn expedition does not design to
encroach on the Indian lands. This subject
is exciting interest in the West, and 1t is
thought the influence Of Governor Campbell and
of General Augur will be sufficient to keep the
leaders of the expedition within bounds.
Another Lie Nailed.
The assertion of the outside papers OF New
York and Philadelphia that the Louisville
Courier-Journal had joined the American Press
Association is without foundation. Mr.. Hold
win, the proprietor, is member of the Execu-
tive Committee.of the Western Associated Press,
and knows that the American concern has nei-
ther merit nor means to keep it up long.

ST.. LOUIS, March 2S.--President Grant pays

CINCINNATI, March 28.-At q meeting of the

CRUEL DESERTION.
An Old Man of Fifty-five Forsaixes His Wife
and Family for strange Woman.

An Old Man oil Ftfty-HVe FOrsakes HIS Vile
and Family for n strange Woman.
In November last an old man fifty-fve years
of age, named r. G. Hampton, who had resided
in Pittsburg with his family, wife and two
small children, for some time, left there, stating
that he was going to Virginia to sell some land
to which he had fallen heir by the decease of a
relative. His actions at the time of his depar-
ture excited the suspicious of friend, but for
fear that they might possibly be unfounded he
did not reveal them. Nothing was heard or seen
of Hampton until in February last, when the
gentleman who had suspected that he had in
tended to desert his family had occasion to visit
Dycusburg, on the Cumberland river. While
there he learned that Hampton had been in that
place for some time previous, and while there
he induced young girl of highly respectable
parentage, named Mollie Brooks, to elope with
him, and the two, when last heard from, were
In Memphis. A letter was received in Pittsburg
recently stating that while In Dycusburg Hamp-
ton had swindled firm of that place out Of
considerable money. Hampton's wife and chill
dren were left entirely without means. His
wife is satisfied that he is villain, and gives
the following personal description of him:
-Fifty-flve years old, medium size, light hair,
and blue eyes and pitted by small pox.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
KvENING TELEGRAPH OFFICE,
Monday. March %. 1870. (

Monday, March 2s 1870. !
Money matters continue to run very smoothly
in our city, and no disturbing element is pro-
bable at this period, or for the next two weeks,
which heretofore have been very exciting time
in previous years. Five per cent. Is usually paid
for round sums on call, with Government or
other good collaterals. In the discount line
rates are steady and easy at about per cent. for
well-known signatures backed by good endorse
ments There is only moderate supply of
business paper offering to-day, and some cornpe-
titon exists among the brokers for its possession
Gold is as dull as it can well be. The trans
actions are entirely of business character,
and the premium fluctuates between l1116
@111%. 0.tt
Government bonds are dull, and prices are
about as quoted at the close of business on
Saturday.
The stock market was quiet, but the feeling
strong. In State loans there were sales of the
6s, first series, at 1881. City Is were steady;
sales of the new issue at 1O2@1097s. Lehigh
gold loan sold at SO.
Reading Railroad sold to limited extent at
4S'44. Pennsylvania Railroad was quiet, with
sales at ST. Lehigh Valley Railroad sold at 545s.
Camden and Amboy Railroad at 11719. Northern
Central Railroad at 48; and Minehill Railroad at
5115. 34a4 was offered for Catawissa Railroad
preferred and 2S15 for Philadelphia and Erie.
The balance of the miscellaneous stock list
attracted but little attention. The only transac-
ton was small sale of Manufacturers Bank
at 80.
We understand that Messrs. Elliott g. Dunn,
in addition to their foreign exchange business,
have arranged to issue travellers letters of
credit on the Union Bank of London, and on
Messrs. Bowles Bros. 81 Co., No. IL Rue de Ia
Paix, Paris, available throughout Europe. We
need scarcely say to travellers on the Continent
that their selection of Messrs. Bowles Bros
81 Co., of Paris, is one to insure q large
share of patronage, combining, as that estab-
llshment does, all the essentials in its arrange
ment calculated to contribute to the comfort
and pleasure of travellers. This is a deside-
ratum much to be desired. From the
circular of Bowles Brothers 81 Co. which
has been furnished us we learn that
that firm, besides its regular business, is
now prepared to receive valuables of any kind
on safe deposits to effect fire, marine, or life in
surance to receive, sell, purchase, and deliver
goods in any quantity; to store or forward bag
gage or express matter; to secure passage, with
out charge for so doing, by any line of travel; to
receive, deliver, or forward mail matter or
kilograms; to receive subscriptions or adver-
tisements for American journals; to supply
general information upon American affairs,
through its reading rooms and registry records;
and Otherwise to attend to anything pertaining
to the systematic care of American interests
abroad; all of which advantages can be enjoyed
by American travellers.
