The Murder of Pet HaIsted.

NEWARK, N. D., July 8.
The murder of Pet Halsted in the bed
room of his mistress, by her lover, yester
day morning, causes intense excitement in
Newark. The murderer, Bolts, expresses
no regret for the deed. After he was ar
rested he said he expected to have
a poor Fourth of July, but Halsted would
have poorer one. He was satisfied to
be strung up on the first tree he came to,
but he had had all the satisfaction be
wanted. The tragic and of the long and
eventful career of Halsted will once more
revive in the memory of thousands of pe0-
pie who were in Washington during the
war, many "reminiscences of one who was
the best known man of that time. Ex-
Chancellor Halsted, and Mayor Geo. B.
Halsted, father and brother of the de-
ceased, were both at the scene of the trag-
edy yesterday, waiting the coroner's per-
mission to take away the remains. The
funeral will take place on Wednesday
from his late elegant residence corner
Broad and Parkhurst streets.

OF what Material shall the Town
Hail be Built?

Editor Rutland Herald Now that it
is decided that we are to have Town
Hall, the question what material shall
constitute its walls is not unworthy Of
our attention.
Strangers who visit Rutland, famed
the world over for its marble, very prop
erly wonder why they see so little of it
used in the construction of our buildings,
private or public. Ought we not to have,
Mr. Editor, one public building at least,
in town, built of our own marble? A
building that shall ornament the town
and proclaim the existence and beauty
of its leading production.
Building marble is now very cheap.
The best of marble would not probably
be much over that of good pressed brick.
And would not the people of Rutland
ratker do something by way of private
subscription, if necessary, to meet the
slight extra cost, if extra cost there should
be, to place beautiful marble structure
in our midst from our own quarries TO
tell our story, and crafty the commend
able sentiment of q Rutlander's local
pride.
1t is not unlikely that the enterprisiug,
public spirited, and great-hearted gentle
men who own and control our extensive
marble quarires and mills who would be
liberal in aiding, in some efficient and
generous way, the erection of such q
building.

the passage of the present tax law and re-
naming unsold at the several dates mem
toned in the said law, when all tobacco,
snuff and cigars must be stamped before
being sold or offered for sale, that he fully
appre ciates the justice Of the claim for
relief, and he authorizes Collector Smith

Experiments with Bessemer steel show
1t to be one of the most plastic and man
ageable of metals-more so even than cop
per. An exchange says it can be bent,
Hanged or twisted, either hot or cold, with
out annealing, and over considerable
range OF temperature, which is not the
case with ordinary steel or copper. A
plate OF eighteen inches diameter was
forced through series of dies until it
formed tube thirteen feet long and one
and three-fourth inches diameter, without
any crack or flaw. A ring of metal can
at one heat be hammered into die to
form a locomotive engine chimney-top.
In drilling circular hole into a Bessemer
steel plate, continuous shavings are form
ed, whereas in a copper plate or other
metal the shaving breaks into pieces one
tenth of an inch long. Thin sheets of the
Bessemer soft steel can also be bent back
ward and forward hundreds of times
without fracture, and are almost as
malleable as paper.

Pardon of c. G. Bowen.

New YORK, July ).
A Washington special says: 1t is stat
ed that the president on Saturday at two
o'clock telegraphed to the attorney gen.
eral 10 make out the papers for the pardon
of g. G. Bowen, and forward them to
Long Branch at once. This information
was received by Bowen, and he was given
to understand that if the papers were sent
last night he would be liberated on Tues
day. On the contrary it is reported that
District-Attorney Fisher, who prosecuted
the case, and Attorney General Acker-
man, refused to recommend Bowen's par
don, and that the opinion of the attorney
general, forwarded to the president last
night, was to that effect. Alderman de-
clined to give any information whatever
in regard to the case.

The HaIstead Tragedy.

NEWARK, n. j., June 3.
The grief of ex-chancellor Halstead on
hearing of the murder of his son "Pet"
Halstead, yesterday, was intense and it is
feared that he cannot survive. He was last
night incapable of being consoled and
wandered from room to room of the house
moaning piteously.
Bolts has employed general Runyon as
counsel. The prisoners friends claim that
he is worth $4,000, having realized from
$50 to 800 week from business. On
the other hand it is stated that he has no
real estate and cannot have saved any
largo amount of money for the reason that
he has been neglecting bis business, and
furnishing $12 week to Mrs, Wilcox.

Railroad Slnash.up.

III NEW YORK, June 30.
On Wednesday afternoon the mail train
for New York on the Delaware and Lack
awanna railroad ran into the coal train
which was running on the same track be-
tween Danville and Boonton. The two
trains were utterly wrecked. Several
cars were pitched down the high embank-
ment, and the track was strewn with the
debris and broken timbers. Singularly,
none of the passengers were killed, and
only few wounded. The mail train
conductor had an arm broken at the wrist.
The fireman of the coal train was severely
scalded, and two or three brakemen and
passengers were badly bruised. None OF
them were fatally injured.

The Catholic Excitement in Hud-
son, N. ".
HrDoo>r N V TrIr q

HUDSON, N. Y, July 2.
The excitement at the Catholic church
in this city has increased to-day. This
morning the members of the parish, to
the number of 300, gathered around the
entrance of the church. Father O'Sul-
livan, accompanied by Father Mariarty,
made their appearance to celebrate mass
at the usual hour, when they were de-
MED admittance, and threatened with
violence if they made an attempt to enter.
Father OSullivan took the names of those
present, and said he had orders from the
Bishop to excommunicate them. The an
nouncement was received with shouts of
derision. The Fathers then retired. The
members of the church seem determined,
and say that they will resist the priests at
all hazards until the grievances which
they complain of are rectifed. No vio-
lence has taken place, but the people in
the vicinity of the church are very ex-
cited. Should the priests gain entrance
to the church.by strategy,a as they threaten
TO do, it is feared the building will be
demolished over their heads, for the
Pensioners are firm and desperate, al
though very cool and orderly.

O.O85 inch rain on the 28th and goth.
A Grain of Frogs'' in Arizona.

The phenomenon Familiarity known as
the "rain of frogs" has been ridiculed and
oontradicted by certain scientists never
theless, there is abundant proof to show
that it has occurred, and probably will
again. In 1864, the writer, in company
with some fifty other travellers, had per-
sonal experience of the fact. We were in
Arizona, not less than twenty miles from
any stream, pond, or water. The day
was extremely sultry, and we had halted
to let the animals Craze and rest fer an
hour or two. Not a living thing besides
ourselves and horses was in sight, and
certainly no frogs were hopping over the
rich, tufted grd111nI1.grass, which covered
the ground for miles in every direction.
Suddenly dense, black cloud made its
appearance, and it soon began to discharge
a copious rain upon our unsheltered heads.
The drops were very large, and the water
quite warm. Nearly every person
wore broad-brimmed felt hat, which
proved a great protection against the
rain as we'll as against the sun.
Our attention was soon arrested by the
pelting of something which struck our
hats like hail, but which proved to be
frogs, and in less than two minutes the
grass was fairly alive with those creatures.
Several of the party took some from their
hat-rims. Our unexpected visitors were
all of one size, about quarter of an inch
long from nose to rump, very lively. and
apparently in the best condition. Their
fall had been broken by the spriugy, re-
silent nature of the grass. 1t is not
probable that several hundred thousand,
perhaps millions of frogs had suddenly
been hatched into life in the ground by
the rain, or, if they had, that in their in
fantile glee they jumped five feet eleven
inches from the earth to the top of our
heads. merely to show how the game of
leap-frog should be played. Nor bad they
any such caudal appendages as are gener-
ally attached to juvenile rama. They came
from above, in company with the rain
and this fact was made clear by holding
out the hand and seeing them fall upon it,
az we'll as finding them on our hat-rims.
The eggs from which these reptiles sprung
had undoubtedly been drawn into the at
mosphere by the action of a water spout,
and held in suspension with aqueous parti-
cles long enough to hatch them out aud
give them perfect form then, by the force
of mutual attraction, the separated parti-
cles of vapor got together in such masses
as to form heavy sheets of water, which,
in turn, became amenable to the law of
the attraction of gravitation, returning
to the earth from which it had been
drawn In the fall new divisions were
created, called "drops," among which the
frogs descended, having been obedient to
similar forces. moving with the aqueous
particles This instance is cited to show
that other things besides vapor are trans
lated from earth to atmosphere by certain
well-known and accredited developments
of natural laws.-FTom "A6rOEjtes, in The

SEPARATION OF NAPOLEON AND JO-
sEPHINE 1t was in 1909 when Napo-
leon took the step which always seemed
to me the beginning of his downward
career He himself read aloud the de-
cree Of his separation from the Empress
and though his voice seemed strained and
unnatural, and he faltered once or twice,
he read to the end, before the silent as
semblage, then entered his carriage and
drove to Trianon; while Josephine return
ed to Mamaison, which had been neglect
ed during the years of her reign by the
Emperor's side.
She murmurAd no more, though she
had pleaded with him long and earnestly
before the final step was taken by Ma
poleon. She had pleaded not to be cast
off: it was an i'll omen for him she said,
that he should take the crown from her
head ; his "good genius would leave him,
she warned him, if he banished her from
bis side. But it was all in vain-and Jo-
sephine had spoken truth. He was loos-
ening the crown on his own head, when
he took it from hers aud his good angel,
who had averted his face when Josephine
knelt helplessly before him, never smiled
on Napoleon again, but departed from his
side, slowly and sorrowfully-weeping
that earthly grandeur and periahable
greatness should so dazzle the children of
men with their glitter and pomp.
Back she went, broken-hearted, to the
scene of former joys-walking slowly
over the lawns his feet had trodden-rest-
ing YEARLY under the trees in the park,
where the statues seemed to gaze on her
with sorrowing brow, and the deer came
to look into her face with plying eyes.
Once only she left Malmaison. Per-
haps the spacious halls seemed too narrow
to hold such grief as hers; but she re-
turned from sunny, southern countries,
to find peace at last in the evil House"
Napoleon never ceased to pay every trib-
ute of respect to her. 1t was to her the
first news of the birth of his son was sent !;
and she reioiced with him, as she rejoiced
in all the good fortune that came to him.
Often he sought the shade Of the willow
and the cypress at Malmaison; feeling,
perhaps, with unerring instinct, that his
"pood genius" still fingered here.-Frona

The Horrible Murder of q Young
Lady in California.

The Marysville (Cal.) Appeal gives the
following brief account of the cold-blood-
ed and atrocious murder of Miss Lizzie
McDaniels, a young lady, by rejected
lover, who, as the kilograms have reported,
was afterwards hunted down and shot by
the enraged people;
"The deceased, Miss Lizzie McDaniels,
was accompanied by Mr.. Wells and
a lady. 1t appears that the murderer,
called by some an Italian, by others
Portuguese Joe," had been paying his at
tentions to the young lady for two yeare
past, though she tried to discourage his
suit. He had told her that he would kill
her if she did not consent to marry him,
but it seems that she regarded his threats
rather lightly.
From all we can learn regarding this
unfortunate affair, this man, Portuguese
Joe," as we will call him, came up behind
the ladies and their escort, seized Miss
McDaniels by her head, and bending it
backward, plunged a knife in her throat
and drew it downward, inf1icting horri-
BILE wound, laying the throat open the
whole length, and even cutting her bosom.
The attack was so sudden, so unexpected,
that her escort, Mr.. Wells, was taken
completely by surprise, and knew not
what was transpiring until the lifs-blood
of the victim showed him the nature of
the assault. AS the murderer released
his hold on the victim, Wells shot at, but
missed him, and before he could fire again
the william turned the corner and escaped.
Such, in brief, is condensed account of
the affair, taken from the many rumors
flying about.
Miss McDaniels was about eighteen
years of age, an estimable lady and 8
general favorite. In one dispatch her
name is given as Susie, in another as
Lizzie. Her mother is on visit to New
York, and the melancholy news will fall
doubly severe on her, who left her
daughter in the full vigor of youth. The
community has been thrown into terrible
state of excitement by this act, and have
united in hunting down the wretch.
Parties are securing the surrounding
country, and it seems impossible for him
to escape. If taken it is probable that the
Courts will not be troubled with trial.
Judge Lynch will preside, and a stout
rope and short shrift will be given to the
murderer of Miss McDaniels, a young
and lovely women, with all the glories of
life opening before her, stricken down by
the hand of one who protested unbounded
love for her, who would have made her
his wife"
