ITEMS FROM NEW YORK.
New YORK, Jan. 23.-The famous forger,
Louis NJ. Van Etten, recently arrested at New
Orleans for altering a check on Hall, Garten &
Co. of this city, from $1,000 to $4,000, re lched
this city yesterday under the charge of Detective
Sampson. Van Etten's friends in New Orleans
made great efforts to secure his release, but
Sampson defied them, and although they OBJ
tanned writ of habeas corpus in behalf of Van
Etten, issued by the United States court, refused
to give up the prisoner. The marshal eXpostu-
lated, and finally attempted TO rescue Van Etten
just before the train crossed the line between
Louisiana and Mississippi, but Sampson steppsa
upon the platform car, pistol in hand, deter
mined to shoot the first man that attempted to
lay hands on the prisoner, and crossed the line
without further trouble.
A drunken riot occurred at Jersey City be-
tween the citizens and several members of the
national guard of New Jersey, who had been
paradinG at the funeral of Gen. Wright Sew
eral soldiers were arrested and subsequently re-
leased by their comrades.
Richard Sampson, a seaman of the schooner
William Deming, of Calais, Me-, fell overheard
and was drowned on the 18th inst, in the gulf
stream.
Mrs. Mary C. Miller, a notorious confidence
woman, was arrested in pawn shop in Broome
street, Saturday, for robbing Mrs. Mary X, Bish-
Op and her two daughters, Of Providence, of
nearly $4,000 worth Of clothing, jewelry, etc.
She gained Mrs. Bishops confidence by pre-
tending to be the wife of Louisiana planter,
boarding at the Grand Central She is the same
woman that robbed Surrogate Hutchings' house
and was sent to Blackwel's island. She says
she is the daughter of a noted divine, and was
once Boston school teacher.
THE WESTERN INDIANS.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Major Chambers,
commanding Fort Fettorman, telegraphs: "The
medicine man of Cheyenne says that the report
that the Crows were stealing from the Cheyennes
is untrue. He says that nearly 200 lodges of the
Southern Cheyennes now in this country wish
very much to go on their own reservation. He
wishes to accompany them if they are permitted,
to get his two young brothers," The Bull Bear
claims that he was sent into this country to in
duce the Cheyennts TO go south, and thinks it
strange that he is not permitted to return.

soRTIEs.
VERSAILLES, Jan. 20, via London, 21.-Under
cover of dense fog to-day, the French troops
were again massed near Fort Mont Valerien, but
nothing further was attempted. The Prussian
position at Montretout was taken by surprise by
the French yesterday and carried, but was sub
sequently retaken by the Prussian north divis-
ion. The total German loss in both affairs was

| twenty thousand dollars worth Of stock
or each mile of proposed road has been
subscribed in good faith, ten per cent of this
capital paid in in cash, and five at least of the
directors have made affidavit to these facts, and
that it is intended in good faith to construct,

the articles of association, and the secretary of
the commonwealth shall record the articles with

If the capital stock proves insufficient it may
be increased to the amount of forty thousand
dollars a mile, by vote of two-thirds in
amount of all the stockholders at meeting
called for that purpose. The corporation, before
beginning to construct its road, shall petition
the railroad commissioners for approval of loca-

alton with tie secretary of the commonwealth.
Within three years of the same time, the cor
poration must begin the construction of its
road, and within five years must finish and put
il in operation or forfeit its cooperative exist
ence. No railroad built under this law can be
opened for use until it has been inspected and
approved by the railroad commissioners. These
are the principal provisions of the proposed
law; two additional sections authorize the con-
solidation of railroad corporations and the leas-
ing of one road by another under certain re-
strictions.
The passage of some such law would not only
relieve the legislature Of large part of the
business which demands the most time and
care, but it would remove that business from a
body i'll adapted to deal with it, from the mex
perience of many members, their inability to
get at the facts in an authentic form, their ex-
posure to improper influences, and the absence
of a feeling of individual responsibility, TO
a body of experts, who can easily get at all the
essential facts, whom no one would venture to
approach with improper inducements and who
viii have in all respects just those judicial
qualifications that are wanting in the legisla-
ture An experience of the working of gen
eral law of this kind might lead to the enact
ment ofothers, which would still further abridge
the mass of special legislation, which is con-
stantly pressing upon the general court, and in
time to a constitutional amendment, making
special legislation impossible, except within
very narrow limits.

The HALPINE EXPRESS RoBBERY.-The tele
graph briefly announced on Saturday that Fill
kins, the suspected express robber, had been
brought into Happiness presence and recognized
by him as the perpetrator of the crime. The
following account of the interview is given;
''Hapine was sitting in a hospital chair, lean
ing back, with his head supported upon pill
low, looking very feeble, as if Frustrated by Sc
we're illness. His young wife was standing by
his side, leaning upon his chair, her face white
as marble, and her eyes fixed upon her husband.
There were present District Attorney Peckham,
Chief Detective Hale and his assistant, Dr..
Armsby, his attending surgeon, and DR.. VIM.
Hailes, resident physician of the hospital. Fill
kins walked quietly into the room and stood be-
fore Halpine, who had watched intently every
movement he made from the instant he en-
tered the door, After standing thus moment,
Filkins stood seemingly unmOved before Hal
pine. Halpine requested him to change his po-
sitiOn, so as TO turn his face first to the right
and then to the left. Halpine looked steadily
at FilkinS for one or two minutes, in the several
positions he had assumed, and said: You are
the man who said TO me your name was Jones.
Filkins: i am not the man.. Halpine: Have
never seen you before. Have you ever seen me
beforeP Halpine: Il never saw you but once
before and that was two weeks ago tonight
Eilkins at this moment sank down in a chair.
After pause Filkins said: Il think / saw You
once before in the Central railroad yard Hal
pine: Were you ever in those express cars ?
Filkins: Yes; had charge of the express cars
for the Merchants Union express three years.
Halpine Did you know WOODWARD Filkins
Yes; knew Woodward Smith and Weather
wax. did not know you After a pause of
five minutes or more, during which time Hal
pine fixed his steady, searching gaze upon Fill
kins, he called DIR. Armsby to his side and said
Il am satisfied. / do not wish to have him re-
main anv longer"

POOLING IN EARNEsT.-Pittsburg has a bit
of sensation in the marriage line. In that city
reside, or resided, two ladies, young, cookbook
ing and lively. Of good family, and well
known, they have always been considered as
among the most attractive girls living in that
quarter But they are lively girls, full of frol-
icksome fun, fond of any legitimate excitement
and Of adventure of a legitimate character.
Possessing these attractions, it is not to be won
dered at that they became favorites among the
gentlemen, and that many Of the young men of
the city made it a habit to call upon them at
their parents home and spend pleasant evenings
in their society. On the night above named,
TUESDAY, of last week., two gentlemen, both
well acquainted with the young ladies, and also
their parents, made a cal at the house.
After the usual greetings, and under the prvi-
1ege gained by thorough friendship, the
quartette became quite at home with each other,
and the fun became fast and furious. The
young men began talking about what they dare
do, and the young ladies expressed themselves as
equally daring. AT last the gentlemen, in their
rashness and foolishness stated that they even
dare get married, and pursuing the matter
thus preached still further expressed them
selves willing to make both the sisters brides
upon the spot.
dare get married, and dare also TO take for bet
ter or worse, the two callers. Protestation on
the one side was followed by reiteration on the
other, and the young men at last came to the
conclusion TO take the lar entertainers at their
word.
1t was the work of but few moments for one
Of the gentlemen to rush from the house and
bring back to it with him young friend who
was invested with the marrying power of full
fledged preacher.
The gentleman was introduced. The girls
thought it all a good joke. The quartette
stood up; the marriage ceremony was gone
through with, and two couples were made one,
four persons made two. The gentlemen knew
the matter was no joke. The ladies supposed
the whole affair to be a joke and the marriage a
mock one.
The newly-made husbands determined to wait
Developments and left with dignity, consequent
upon their new relations. The ladies retired to
bed and laughed over the joke of the evening.
The next morning brought fresh develop
ments, however, TO the fair ones. Both received
large yellow envelopes, and on opening them, to
their utter dismay, they found that they con-
tanned marriage certificates. What they
thought joke then, was a serious reality, and
both girls were in fact married women. What
was to be done2 Should they keep the matter
a secret and attempt to get divorced2 or should
| they accept the situation and fly to their hus
| bandS2
The husbands on the morrow were in an
| equally perpleXing condition. Neither had
been married to the girl he WISHED. Should
they change certificates, or take the wives as
they had been dealt out to them?
Neither husbands or wives have yet settled
these knotty points, and so the matter now
| stands.

A MYSTERY ExPLAINED.-In 1850, Charles
Ingraham left Delaware, Ohio, for California
In 1852 he returned having with him some six
thousand dollars in gold dust. He arrived at
the Delaware station, which was three miles
from the town, the curved track to the town not
having been laid. Between the station and the
town lived two brothers named Williams, whose
reputation for honesty was bad.
At midnight, on the second day of September
"Old Fred, the night Waterman at the station,
was awaiting the 1880 train, when one of the
Williams made his appearance, pretending to
be looking for friend whom he expected on the
train from st. Louis. The train came about one
O'Clock. lngraham alighted, being the only
passenger, and received a warm reception by
cold Fred" who urged him to remain at the
station until morning. He declined and started
Tor the town on foot and alone, although the
darkness was intense, the sky cloudy and
threatening rain. The friend of Williams did
not come, and he left in the company of Ingra-
ham for his cabin in the woods.
When the bus came over in the morning, Fred
asked the driver if he had seen Ingraham; he
answered "no."
1t soon became apparent that the unfortunate
man never reached town. vigilant search was
Immediately instituted, but no trace of the miss
ing man could be discovered. Suspicion fell upon
the Williamses; they were arrested, examined
and acquitted, as nothingeould be proved against
them. Time passed on, and the missing man
was almost forgotten.
But now comes the sequel, illustrating the old
adage that murder will out"
The mystery which has hung like black
veil around the fate of this man is solved Re.
Gently two lads, James Thompson and John
Hoskins, were hunting in the vicinity of the
Old Williams cabin, which was vacated by them
soon after the disappearance of Iugraham. Into
a hole beneath the deeayed foor of this cabin
the boys tracked rabbit, and with the aid of an
axe and mattock they removed the earth and
rubbish. Presently something hard and white
threatened to debar further progress in their
labors, when young Thompson thrust in his
hand to remove the obstruction, which proved
greatly TO their surprise and CONSERVATION, to
be human skull. They continued their exca.
vatious and succeeded in exhuming the main
parts Of the human skeleton, together with o
rusty brass plate, on which, after some rubbing
and securing, tho name OF Charles Ingraham
San Francisco, 1882" could be distinctly traced
He was waylaid and robbed at the Williams
cabin, and the remains successfully concealed
beneath the floor, where they have been hidden
| until now.
