Assistant Postmaster Norton has been in
the employ of the Government ID years. His
defalcations amount to $lI5,000, drawn from
the Treasury during the past two years. He
confesses his guilt and surrendered the whole
of his property to the Government, including
fine estate at Plainfield, N. j. 1t is not
likely that he will be prosecuted, as the value
of his real estate is more than sufficient to
cover his defalcations. Norton fell victim
to the mania of stock gambling in Wall st.

Salt Lake City DOings.

Salt Lake City, II. About six months ago
an indictment was found by the Norman
Grand Jury in the Z. S. District Court against
John J. Baum, II. L. Davis and another man,
for the murder of Henry Brown, in Drove
City, who was shot in the street. 1t is stated
that Mormon was at the bottonPof the affair.
Brown was engaged to young lady whom
the Mormon Bishop desired to marry. Brown
was removed by the assassin's shot. Yester-
day as Marshal Patrick attempted to arrest
Baum at Provo, he was represented by three
deputies and five soldiers from Camp Doug
lass under sergeant, who surrounded his
house at midnight. Baum escaped, his wife
assisting him. Shots were fred at Baum and
he was wounded. A posse visited Davis place;
Mrs. Baum was before them and Davis had
fed. All these indicted criminals have been
skulking for months, protected by the church
authorities. Tonight the News mormon
Organ is out in fierce editorial against the
outrage of sending U. S. troops against Utah
citizens. The laws Of the nited States will
be enforced, the murderers will be arrested,
tried and executed, in spite of the popular
wish to protect them. The grand jury will
meet Monday next, to investigate the series
of crimes committed of late years in Utah.

The suggestions Of the Maine Democrat in
reference to the vile and wicked habit of pro-
family, will answer for other places than Bid
deford. Persons congregate in the streets
and use obscene and profane language in
boisterous manner. We cannot of course ex-
pect an implicit obedience to the seventh COM
mandment; but knowing the wives and
daughters of our citizens cannot promenade
our principal thoroughfare of an evening with
out being shocked by the foul-mouthed utter
ances of the rowdies who hang around the
corners or join in the tide, up and down the
streets, we think measures might be taken to
check such state of things. There is a law
on the statute books of this State, touching
the point in question, and these offenders
should be made sensibly aware of the fact.

Roston, 10. The Massachusetts, Board of
Railroad Commissioners have issued circu-
lar requesting the several railroad companies
of the State, through their proper officers, to
meet them :tor conference on 18th inst, in
Boston. The commissioners say that in the
course of investigation of the causes of the
late accident at Revere, certain facts nearly
affecting the whole railroad system of the
State, were clearly established. To three of
which they wish to call the particular atten-
ton of railroad managers, with a view to pre-
venting in SO far as possible the recurrence of
any such calamity in the future. The CON-
missioners maintain that the cause of the dis
aster at Revere was wholly unnecessary, mas
much as the attempt of the company to oper-
ate single track branch road without the aid
of telegraph, led Immediately to a collision
which might have been avoided by the appli-
cation of this, one of the oldest, most ordinary
and least expensive of appliances in operating
railroads.
Second. That the colliding train discov-
cred the train ahead of it in ample time to
have prevented the disaster had the train been
equipped with brakes, operated instantly
from the locomotive, instead of the old fash
ioeed hand brakes.
Third 1t further appeared in the evidence
and was in no way controverted by the COM
pany, that the stations on this part of their
road were but shor. distances apart, so that
every facility, so far as employees, &C. was
concerned, existed for a very perfect system
of signals indicating the proximity of trains.
No such appliances were, however, in use nor
indeed had their adoption ever been consid-
cred. e..

Defalc8tiOn.

Washington, ID. Maj. John L. Hodge,
Deputy Paymaster in the army, is default
ter to the government to the amount of $780,
900 or 100000. A year ago the detectives
discovered his affairs in lose condition, his
accounts being behind &C., and an investiga-
ton was ordered, but for some reason I'M
known never took place. On Thursday last
the Paymaster General discovered, as he
thought, an erroneous charge in the returns
'of Major Hodge, and by letter requested him
to explain it. He still could not believe his
Deputy dishonest, but expected that he would
be able to make satisfactory explanation.
This he failed to do, and Gen. Brice then in
timated his suspicious, and premptorily Or
dered him to close his accounts by Monday
last Next day Gen. Brice received a letter
from Hodge containing full confession of
his guilt and stating tina: he had been max
ing fraudulent returns and statements since
1866, and the money thus obtained has been
spent in gold and stock gambling in New
York. He mentioned in his letter the name
Of one firm which knew that the money he
sent them for investment belonged to the
government, and concluded by stating that he
was ready to turn over all his property both
personal and real, amounting to something
like $4,000, to any agent Of the government
authorized to receive such an assignment. He
expressed contrition for his crime and said
he intended to return the money he had taken
and emplored that he be as leniently deIt with
as possible. Gen. Brice on Monday placed
the defaultlng paymaster under close arrest,
and yesterday procured by telegraph from
Gen. Sherman an order for his confinement
in Fort Henry. The accused who is about
80 years of age, is a native of Philadelphia,
and inherited most of his property from his
uncle, and his father was formerly assistant
secretary of the treasury who died ahout

Washington, Is. The Chronicle to- day in
commenting on the public meeting held last
night under the auspices of the Womens Re-
formatory Club, to consider what shall be
done concerning social evil and its victims
says: The wealth and responsibility of the
town sat side by side with under the ban of
society, for the first time probably since their
relapse from honor. Those unfortunate ones
were able to recognize facts of true sympathy,
pure friendship and christian love. The
Patriot says call classes and conditions of
life were represented. Occupying prominent
positions on the front seats, were several
keepers of well-known bagnios, who had
marshaled their girls, and marched them out
to attend the meeting, these were elegantly
attired. Near them sat ladies, who, under
other circumstances would have felt contami-
mated Soiled doves, who were not known to
the police, but who were recognized as mis-
tresses of gay young men, and old men too,
occupied seats near the pure and virtuous.

New York Injunction CO se.'

New York, ID. The proceedings in the
suit OF John Foley and others VS.. the City
Government, was resumed in the Supreme
Court this forenoon. Bartlett read the affida-
Wits of Tweed. O'Gorman read the second
affidavit of Tweeds, denying gener lily the al
Legations on complaint, especially that niger
SOIL was ever his agent in matters Of COM
plant, or that the expenses of his department
was ever in excess of what the law allowed.
Strahan, III submitting the motion for decree
on the papers before the court in behalf of the
plaintiffs, said Foley is resident and tax
payer, and asks relief against defendants ale
cations. The plaintiffs, in fact, admitted that
some OF the defendants no doubt will come in
10 court and swear in contradiction to certain
statements in the complaint; but every ma
terial allegation remains sustained. We have
substentiated from Mayor Halls own reply
that the city and county debt has been in
creased from $50, 1928, $50, when Hall was
elected, to Sl06689, 058. On the 3lst of July
last, Strahan expressed the belief that Tweed
was, himself, both the New York Transcript
and the Printing Company. 1t was was very
unsatisfactory to have allegations of such
character against city officials tried on mere
affidavit, snd the plaintiff asked for a contin-
uance OF tile injunction till all matters were
fairly and signally disclosed. Strahan then
proceeded at length with the argument, in the
course OF which he said that the only answer
in equity and justice to their allegation, was
the production of vouchers which cow enient.
ly disappeared at the critical moment of those
evidences of fraud on their face were wanted
in court. The entire afternoon session was
occupied by Mr.. OGormans argument for the
defence, in which he maintained that Foley
could have no legal standing in court, the act
under which he sued having been declared
unconstitutional and void; that Mayor Halls
official record was above reproach, and that
no unauthorized issue of bonds had been
made. Without concluding his argument the
court adjourned till tomorrow.

This is an age Of inquiry and people are
beginning to realize the magnitude Of the
Evil caused by the use of injurious compounds
FOR the hair, which are prepared and forced
into market, by men who are not practical
physicians, and who may not be aware Of the
injury they are producing. These prepsra-
lions have been analysed by competent chem
lists, and shown to contain poisonous sub
stances, causing Nervousness, Headache, Par
alysis, and often fatal results.
In contrast with such injurious articles, we
call attention to the Hair Restorer prepared
by DR.. r. Greene, Superintendent Of the Bos-
ton Medical Institute, who has been q sue
cessful physician in Boston for more than .
quarter Of q century. DR.. Greene uses Veg
etable Remedies only, and can assure the pub
lie that this Hair Restorer will do all that is
claimed for it, without possibility Of injury.
81 have tested a sample of DR.. Greene's Hair
Restorer, and find that no poisonous metals or
Injurious matters ezist in il.
c. r. JACKSON, State Assayer."
The use Of this Hair Restorer for twenty
FIVE years has tested its superiority as dress
ing, and its power to preserve the hair and
scalp in a healthy condition. It removes
dandruf, prevents the hair from falling of,
preserves its natural color, restores it when
prematurely gray, renders it soft and glossy,
promotes its healthy growth, and is the best
dressing ever discovered. While other prep
arations are sold at almost any price, DR..
Greene's Hair Restorer has sustained its good
qualities, its price, and its reputation. II 10
