McCreary was man of iron nerve and lion
heart. He had many adventures in Pennsylvania

escapes. He was several times waylaid and fred
upon by parties in ambush, and had desperate
encounter at Chestnut Level with seven men, who

caused his assailants to beat hasty retreat, hav

ball fired through the bottom Of Windsor

and himself as he advanced to make the arrest.
After the encounter McCreary thought it prudent
to make a hasty retreat, which he did, lest the
party might return reinforced A requisition was
at one time made for him by the Governor Of
Pennsylvania upon the Governor of Maryland, on
the charge of kidnapping; but an investigation

Miller, one of the witnesses to prove the girls

AN EARLDoM GGlNG A-BECGiKG.

English society, 1t is reported, has for some
time past been excited with conjectures as to the
whereabouts of the Earl of Aberdeen, the grand.
son of the fourth Earl of Aberdeen, who was
Prime Minister Of Great Britain from December,
1852, to February. 1855. This young nobleman,
James Henry Hamilton Gordon, Earl OF Aberdeen,
who was born in lS45, left England about two
years ago. without giving any clue to his in
tended place of residence, and has not commune
Gated with his friends or family since. News,
however, has reached his friends that he had
shipped as a common sailor on board merchant
vessel bound for the United States, and that he
subsequently became mate. The cause of this
singular conduct is entirely matter OF conjecture;
but 1t is thought that the young earl, believing
his estate to be encunbered, has resolved to live
of of his own earnings until his accumu-
lated rents are sufficient to pay off the
mortgages on the property he inherited.
Another instance, in the present century,
Of q young man of rank becoming dissatisfied with
his position by birth and adopting laborious
grandson OF Lord Byron, who, had he lived, would
now be Baron Wentworth, as well as heir to the
Earld0m of Lovelace. After many similar
manHuvres, this young man entered the works OF
Scott Russell, the well known builder Of iron
ships. and remained there for some time, working
as an ordinary mechanic. 1t is stated that on one
occasion, having received check from his grand.
Viscount Ockham, he presented himself IN his
working clothes at tho bank, in London, to draw
the money. On being informed by the paying
teller that the paper was drawn to order, anu
needed his lordship's endorsement, the rough
mechanic, to the Indignation Of the clerk, seized
pen and scribbled '.OcklNm" on the back Of the
draft. The teller then ordered the arrest OF the
supposed forger, who was almost Immediately re-

COMFORT FOR DEBTORS.
Important Amendment TO the Bankruptcy
Law.

Important Amendment 20 the Bankruptcy
The second clause of the thirty-second section or
the Bankruptcy act OF 1867 provided as follows:-
That in all proceedings bankruptcy after
from the time this shall into operation
discharge shall be granted debtor W hose
pay fifty per of the claims against his estate unless
the assent In writing OF majority number and value of
his creditors who have proved their claims filed in The
at or before the time OF application for discharge
This clause, commonly called the fifty cent clause,
went into operation the 1st Of January, 1862 as
amendment to the law, the original intention OF
Congress ceing that the amendment should take
effect the 1st OF June, 1868, but Congress agreed
that 1t should not have operation TIL the January
amendment which provides that the above clause
shall not apply to those debts from which the bank
rupt seeks discharge which were contracted prior
To the 1st OF January, 1862 In other words In order
10 make the fact plain, any person who has con-
tracted debts prior to January l. 1862 may, ON his
own petition go into voluntary bankruptcy as IL the
fifty cent clSuse did not exist ut all
The 'nvOluntary'' portion OF the act has been
amended in the manner set forth In the supjoined
paragraph
That clause in the thirtyninih section OF said
trader rauduently stopped suspended, and
sumed Of his commercial within period Of
fourteen days." shall be amended to read follows
"Or who being banker, broker, merchant trader,
who stopped suspended and not Of
his commercial paper within period of fourteen days"
it is well that the legal profession and the public
generally should be made acquainted with the above,
which refers TO very essential part OF the Bank
ruplcy law.

THE DISPOSITION or STREET REFUSE.

Since opposition has been made to the filing OF
sunken lots with the street refuse in New York,
the New York street contractors nave been hurry
ing the vile stun over to Long Island city. The
matter was brought to the notce OF the Newtown
Health Board some weeks SINCE and at th at time the
contractor promised to use disinfectant. A
large quantity OF carbolic acid was procured
and sprinkled the refuse and for time 1t ev.
denty stayed decomposition of the animal matter
which found mixed in with the refuse; but the
space filed in enarges and the number OF scows
from New York increases, the man who sprinkles
the dump loses CONTROL and yesterday the smell was
strong ever Nothing short Of street sprinkling
with an unlimited supply Of carboc acid, would now
stop the stencil which is arising from the
place. The passengers on the railroads terminating
at Hunters Point perceive the smell fully two miles
east OF Long Island CITY, The residents ofsiunter's
Point and Dutch Kills were compelled to close their
doors and windows all DAY yesterday, and then the
terrible pestential Odor would still creep into the
cracks and crevices OF the houses 1t tasted III
the food and drink and felt in One's clothes. Now
that the new city Health Board s fully organized it
is asked why this matter Is not taken In hand and
disposed OF.

On Thursday last this venerable citizen of New
York died az Westerly, Hhode Island, whittier he
had gone to recruit his health. There was no better
known and more deservedv popular resident OF this
city than Mr. H0xie. He Was born in Rhode Island
on the 18th OF August 1895 his father having been
revolutionary soldier. In 1871, when but boy
OF sixteen years, he came to New York, where
ne obtained a good education. For some time
he kept o school In william street, but, op-
portunity offering, he engaged In q more
lucrative business and opened clothing store,
which located in Cherry street at first and later
In Maiden lane. As q merchant he was very sue
cessfui acquiring handsome fortune MIR. Hoxie
was an Old line whg, and, after some years OF pro-
minence In political life, first appeared as candi-
date for once In 1887, when ne was elected clerk OF
this county During the Presidential campaign
which ended In the election OF General Harrison ne
was conspicuous for mis- advocacy OF their CLAIMS,
and became quite popular as an orator. Henry Clay,
with whom ne was on the most intimate personal
terms TO the day OF that staesmans death, also
ceived an enthusiastic support from him. MriHoxie
ran for Congress In 1862, but was beaten by Mr..
times for Congress- but was always defeated, his
party being always in the minority. After the dis
solution OF the whig party he joined the republicans
and IN 1864 President Lincoln appointed him Coec-
tor OF Internal Revenue in the Fifth district the du
ties OF which he performed creditably Many years
have passed since he retired from mercantile pur-
suits. or his attention has been directed TO fire
and LIE insurance. He aided in establishing the
Commonwealth FIRE Insurance Company, and In 1865
was elected president OF the Amcabe Lie, q posi-
tion he held at the time OF his death.
The private life OF Mr.. Hoxie was notably upright.
Personally, he was one OF the most genial or men.
There was something inviting In his pleasant face
fluent conversationallst, full or wit, quick at
repartee, his society was always sought and wei
coined. He has passed away at a ripe old age, and
with him went another link which binds the New
York OF to-day to the New York or fifty years ago. In
