OUTRAGE AT TUNNELToN. "A family

into the yard and cried the door. Her hus-
band having but short time previous gone

to hide herself in the room, not knowing
what his intentions were Finding the
door locked, the negro went to the window

she didn't open the door he would shoot her
Hardly knowing what she was doing, she

left, threatening her with death in case she
exposed him. Unable to move or make
any cries for assistance or for pursuit Of
the hend, she endured all the fortunes Of n
fear of the negro's return until late in the az
ternoon when her husband came home. -
The alarm was given, and although some
sort of q pursuit was made, all has yet been

Arrest of an Alleged Thief.

We copy this from the Jackson Pilot:
Our readers will probably remember a
report published some four months ago of
the robbery, at Utica, in this State, of a
Mrs. Mcneil, of $4,000 in cash, a gold watch
and some other property. A colored man
named Willis johnson, alias Willis Jackson,
was suspected of having committed the
robbery. 1T seems that Detective James F.
Cunningham was placed in possession of the
principal facts of the case, and at once went
to work to follow UP and arrest jackson. 1t
was found that this party had disposed of a
meerschaum pipe and some other articles,
near Utica, which had been recognized as
part of the goods stolen. For long time
all search was unavailing. But, on Sunday
last, man, alleged to be the'"party by the
name of Johnson" was arrested by Cum
ningham, on a warrant issued by Justice
Simon Jones, and taken to the jail and
searched. City Marshal Murphy gave all
the assistance necessary, and in the stock
ing of the prisoner was found a gold watch,
No. 1850, and having an engraving of a
dog on an inner case, which at least partly
corresponds with the description of the
time-piece taken from Mrs. Mcneil. He also,
had pistol similar to one lost at the same
time. Ofcourse the prisoner was committed
to await the Identification of himself as well
as the property supposed to have been
stolen. An examination will soon take
place. Cfficers Cunningham and Murphy
are entitled to great credit for the manner
in which this capture has been consum-
mated,

beaten over the head by the rod, shook the
man to the floor as q terrier shakes raj
Then, letting GO with his teeth, ne placed
his paw on the trainers breast, uttering
yells Of rage The attendants, paraiyzed
with fear, finally rallied under the dlrectlo1
of Forepaugh, whose flesh was being pierced
by the sharp claws, and made simuitane-
GUS and vigorous attack upon the enraged
animal. who was obliged to retreat to his
corner. The trainer received a severe bite,
and each Of the claws made bad mark. but
he determined to give the animal no rest.
Procuring another iron, ne ADOPTED the
method of attack instead OF defense. just
as the beast was preparing to spring again,
the trainer rushed upon him, punching and
pounding him with the hot iron bar, and
actually drove the Bengal several times
around the cage without stopping. After
a moment the attack was repeated, the two
rolling over and over on the floor of the
cage in the tigers efforts to seize the man
by the neck, but he was pounded so unmer-
cifully with the bar that he was glad to re-
treat For nearly an hour the trainer per-
sisted in his efforts, until at last he was not
only enabled to pat the head of the subdued
magnate of the jungle, but to open his
mouth, lift up his feet, lead him around the
cage, and show him in various other ways
that he was perfect master of the brute.
After two or three hours rest, the cage was
again entered, but the tiger crouched down
in fear, and resented no familiarities from
his determined trainer, although when an
other person approached the bars of the
cage, he was greeted with bowls of rage
and defiance.

PerpIexing Commercial Transaction.

The st, Louis Republican reports this
perplexing commercial transaction:
The case of the State against Alfred A.
Lowry, charged with embezzlement, was
tried before Judge Calvin in the court of
criminal correction yesterday Defendant
is a member of the firm of A. j. Jones g.
Co. The prosecuting witness, Emile P. Vogt,
had ordered the firm to buy car load Of
coopers' slaves from Charles w. Horn for
Sl20, which was DONE Mr.. Vogt then went
to the defendant, and said he would like to
get $3.50 to pay his hands with. Lowry
then suggested that perhaps Mr. Horn
would take draft for $40, and that $3.50
out of the proceeds of the draft should be
applied toward the payment of the slaves.
Mr.. Lowry then paid $50 cash to carry out
the arrangement. Mr.. Horn claims that
Mr.. Lowry never paid for the slaves, and
that the draft was never shown to him. The
cashier of the. Union Savings Association
testified that he bought that draft from Mr.
Lowry; that the proceeds of the same were
placed to the general fund. of A. j. Jones
o. Co., and that the draft is reported from
New Orleans as accepted and paid. The
judge said the case was somewhat confused
at present, and he would take it under ad-
yisement until Saturday.

A Remarkable Statement.

The correspondent of the Boston Jour
mal-a clergyman-writing from Saratoga,
says:
Everybody comedies that the season thus
far has been remarkably dull. The hotel
men do not hesitate to aseribe much of the
condition of things to the Young Mems
Christian Association. 1t was publicly an
nonnced through the papers that they had
succeeded in influencing the government to
such an extent that no liquors. not even
wines, would be sold in the place during
the season. The authorities, who have
never aided the hotel proprietors in their
efforts to make Saratoga attractive to
strangers, placed the license this year at
very exorbitant rate, that almost amounted
to prohibition The report that the Maine
law was to be enforced in Saratoga went
out early, and did its work. OF the wisdom
of this action, it is not my purpose to speak.
But the men who have patronized Saratoga
and spent their money freely are not there
this year. They are at Long Branch, the
White Mountains, Newport, and ON the
ocean.

A special dispatch, on the ferfyboat disas

ter, to the Louisville Commercial says:
The investigations proceeding in relation
to the cause of the massacre on the Staten
Island ferryboat has brought to light the
fact that an engineer, who, while asleep,
some four years since, and who ran the boat
through the slip and ferryhouse, causing
great damage, is still employed on the line.
The company will not employ licensed en-
giineers, and the policy of the company is
characterized by, miserly economy, which
renders accidents liable at any time.
1t has also been ascertained that on the
eighty boats in our harbor, there are not an
average of four life preservers to boat,
and these are not within reach of the pas
sengers The laws relative to the safety of
passengers are virtually dead so far as these
and about all other steamers here are con-
cerned. The inspection of steamers is con
sidered farce by all steamboatmen.

day by Mr.. T. w Hurst, the efficient Sheriff
of East Baton Rouge parish, charged with
the murder Of a federal soldier at Baton

AS to whether Alice Cary ever had lover
her sister Phoebe, in the last Ladies' Reposi-
tory, says:
If in her moral life she ever felt any
deeper and holier affection than that for her
kindred, except in dreams of poesy, she
rolled the stone over the mouth of the dead
sepulclTe, and sealed it with everlasting
silence. Among the things now hallowed
by her use there was not single one which
could reveal such secret. Not picture,
not written line, not even a withered
flower to show that she had loved or been
beloved. And SC, knowing there was one
chamber in her heart kept by her always as
a safe and sacred sanctuary, mine is surely
not that hand to lift from it now the solemn
and eternal curtain of the past.
