in the interest of my section. If the State will
locate the capital at EDglewood will give
twenty acres of land and one hundred thousand
dollars ($100 0000). This is, of course, nay offer;
have no doubt my .public-spirited neighbors
would double the sum-"
This second bid, as evidently made in good
faith as that of Mr.. Dimock, has stirred up the
ambition of the Jerseymen, and the entries and
bids are numerous. Mr.. Dimock being first In
the field was enabled to procure the promise of
the special inspection committee to come and
look at what he would do for the State, and
what advantages Elizabeth possessed to make it
the State capital; and so with great parade and
pomp and with much futter of expectation on
both sides-the visitor and visited-a committee
of the Senate has gone to Elizabeth.
But still more dangerous rivals to Elizabeth
have sprung up. The inhabitants of the town
ship of Crawford suburb of Elizabeth, have
Fatriotically thrown themselves and their for
tunes at the feet of the State, and offer twenty
acres of land and two hundred thousand dollars
for the capital.
Still another applicant appears: the Senate
has received the humble petition of one George
Clifford. of Jersey City, who offers three acres
of ground in the centre of that city and $25 000.

ACCIDENT ON THE PENNA. CENTRAL.
FrIshtfui Collision Five Hlen Injured, Two of
Them Fatally.

FrIahtfui Collision FIVE Men Injured, Two of
Them Fatally.
The Harrisburg State Journal of yesterday
says:-'
a terrible accident occurred about eight
o'clock last evening on the Pennsylvania Rail-
road within the city limits, at Gallagher's
switch, short distance above the roundhouse,
which was attended with fatal consequences.
Six men were riding on shifting engine No. 439,
which was being backed down from the yards
above the town when, without any warning,
collision occurred with the rear end of a freight
train standing on the track. The fireman sue
ceeded in jumping off the engine without sas-
tanning any injury, and the engineer escaped
with few slight scalds. Four brakemen and
conductor, who were riding on the engine, were
less fortunate. They were all severely injured
by the escaping steam and the sudden concus-
sion, one, and perhaps two, fatally.
William Calendar, brakeman, married man.
residing on Allisons hill, had both legs broken,
and was otherwise severely injured-s He died
a short time after the accident, while being re-
moved to the depot in car.
Edward Yoder, conductor, residing in the
lower part of the city had one OF his legs broken.
He was removed to his residence and received
every attention.
s. Swager, brakeman, had both hands scalded
and badly crushed arm broken, and was inj ured
internally. His death was momentarily eX-
pected at IL o'clock last evening, the hour we
left the injured men.
Samuel Caster, brakeman, had his leg cut
below the knee and thigh bone broken. 1t is
thought amputation will be necessary.
The injured men were promptly removed in q
car from the scene of the accident to the depot,
and every effort made to alleviate the sufferings
of the survivors DR.. Rutherford, the company
physician, was summoned and rendered every
medical and surgical assistance. The Coroner
was notified, but up to q late hour had not ar
rived and we are unable to give the verdict.

EXCITEMENT AT TRENTON.

Projects to Remove the Capital of New Jersey.
correspondent of the N. Y. Evening Post
writes-
The annual farce of pretending to take into
consideration the moving of the capital of this
State TO some more favored locality has been
again brought before the Legislature this year,
but in q somewhat different form
Heretofore some city, town, village, or ham,
let, considering itself the hub of the State, the
centre of all attractions, the best adapted for
the final resting place of the capital has pre-
sented its claim in due form, with much setting
forth OF It's real or supposed advantages, and
much recapitulation of the benefits that must
necessarily ensue to the State should 1t be
chosen. Annually these suggestions have been
received and carefully referred to dormant COM
mittees, and the only result yet known to ensue
theretrom was dinner or supper to such COM
mittee on its farcical visit of ipspec tiou, and
quickening of the pulses of the land spectators
at the thought OF such a monster arrival as the
State capital In their midst, and the conse-
quent rise in lots,
But this year New York has begun new sys-
tenn, which threatens to revolutionize old New
Jersey, and to raise her Importance; lsider-
ably, in the eyes of her own citizens, least.
Mr.. A. w. Dimock, who lives atG lzlOeth, has
backed the claims of that al:lent rival of
Trenton, with proposal ID; Int tne state e I'VE i've

give the sum of $25, COO in cash, to be used ia
assisting to erect the new Capitol should 1t be
placed on MS gilt Ol Jduu. lu0I0 10 nO uOuuL
of the genuineness of this Offer Mr. Dimock
is certainly able to make good his words; and
hints are thrown out that other subscriptions
will be forthcomining from still more loyal
citizens OF Elizabeth If they are given ground
for hope This bid, paraded with no little vain
glory in the local papers, has, however, sunk
into nothipgness before the successive offers to
buy the Capitols presence which it has drawn
forth.
The second to enter the field was the borough
af Englewood too charming as place of resi-
dence to be spoiled by placing the capital and
its attendant train of legislators lobbyists, and
hangers-on in its midst, but still, so says pro
minent citizen, not only willing to put up with
it, but to do better than the Elizabethean Dlmocl
to obtain 1t.

ANOTHER RELIGIOUS swlNDLER.
A trusted Treasurer ia Trouble,

For some time past ii has been whispered
about that the treasurer of the Swedenborgian
Church, in East Thirty-fifth street, of which
Rev. DR.. Giles is pastor, had absconded with
large sum belonging to the church. Anxious
to learn all the facts in the case, and probe the
scandal to the bottom, our reporter
called on Rev. DIR. Giles, at his cosy
residence in East Thirty-third street, this
morning. In reply to questions he said
that rumor had grossly exaggerated the facts,
which were simply that some time since the
treasurer of the church (whose name DR.. Giles
did not consider it advisable to publish) had
failed in business. On settling up the accounts,
1t was found that he was indebted to the church
in the amount of 5000. He gave his check for
that sum to DR.. Giles, but it was found that he
bad no funds to his credit in the bank, and on
the 4th of February he wrote a note stating
that, to his great sorrow he was unable to
make the check good. He announced at
the same time his intention of going
West to retrieve his shattered fortune, and con-
cluded by expressing his regret at severing
church associations. About four weeks ago
with the full knowledge of the members of the
Swedenborgian Society, he started for California,
and is at present in st. Louis. He has been in
constant communication with the trustees of the
church, and will return here about the 1st of
| May. Rev. DIR. Giles added that the members
of the church had the utmost confidence in the
integrity of their former treasurer.-N Y.

TRAGEDY IN WILKESBARRE.
A Prominent Democratic lawyer Cuts n
Womnn's ThrOnt and then His Own.

Prsmlnsnyt Sal.Iy. % Democrats ,, ..Yysr n Cuts Cuts
The Scranton Republican of yesterday has
Wilkesbarre letter of Monday, which says:-
The town was thrown into a high state of ex-
citement this evening, between and o'clock,
by ar eport which spread like wildfre, that an
attempt at murder and suicide had been made
at house on Northampton street. The report
proved true, and the following particulars were
CLEANED. The man interested is lawyer, and
has considerable notoriety throughout the county
as o Democratic politician, and nominally
has been credited with being a of
more than ordinary capacity. But q
too free indulgence in strong drink, and life of
general dissipation, have incapacitated him for
business, and before this he has been attacked
twice by mania-a-potu, which attacks were to
be dreaded by all likely to come in contact with
him, for, being of strong frame, and goaded to q
fearful frenzy by imaginary wrongs, he hesi-
tated not to threaten and attempt to perform the
most terrible acts. The woman who was at
tackled by him was the wife of respectable
merchant on Northampton street. now divorced
from him, but still living in his house and acting
as his housekeeper. Returning last week with
this attack of mania-a-potu upon him, the law
yer went to the above house. where he has since
been confined. Imagining there was concocted
arrangement to poison him, he determined on
putting her and himself out of the way,
and thus frustrate its accomplishment. He
seized her, and in the struggle, with
o small penknife, succeeded in cutting
her throat in most horrible manner, making a
cash on one side from which the blood spufted
with Kissing sound awful to hear, and inflict-
ing besides cash in her breast, in one arm, and
on one thumb. He then commenced on himself
with the same instrument, first at his throat,
making cut of considerable length, from
which the blood flowed very freely, and then in
the region of his heart, where made five stabs
By this time-it was all done almost in
an instant-outsiders were aroused po-
licemen came, and surgeons were called
The woman was Immediately attended
to-the blood vessel severed was tied etc.-and
there is hope that she will survive, although
close attention. The wounds of the man were
dressed, and both he and the woman left in as
easy circumstances as can be expected. In q
talk with the man we found that he realized
what he had done--he was more saue--but he
still regretted that he had not made q clean job
of it. His poor instrument, he says, was the
cause of his failure.
