months the police of that precinct have
been engaged in the endeavor to ferret out
numerous burglaries which were constantly
committed. Captain Cameron suspicioned
that some of his officers were in collusion
with the burglars, but got no specific clue
until two weeks ago, when Aitkene, ap-
preached another officer and desired him to
enter into a compact to rob the house he
was seen to enter that morning. The officer
informed his superiors and it was decided
that he should give tacit acquiescence to
the plan. AitlSene has been watched close
ly since that time That night he was on
patrol, and was relieved at midnight. He
went to his own house up town, shadowed
by Sergeant and an officer Of his precinct.
The house was watched until 4o'clock,
when Aitkene emerged, dressed in citizens
clothes, and carrying carpet bag. He
took a car down town, his shadowers on
the same car, and was allowed to cut through
the panel of the door of the house he in
tended to rob beforeEarrest.

tB-About two weeks ago, r. G. Free
man, a locomotive engineer on the New
York Central road, died of malignant
smallpox at Schenectady. No one in that
city could be found whom money or love
could induce to lay out the body. d
A coffin was ordered, which the under
taker brought to the house, and finding the
stairway too small to permit carrying the
casket to the room in which the body lay,
he left it down stairs. No one would APP
proach the house. Finally, two engineers,
members with the deceased of the Brother
hood of Locomotive Engineers, had con-
sultation, and agreed that they would lay
out and inter the body, remarking that
there was an All-seoing Providence in whom
they must trust. ru
These two men entered alone the cham
Der of Death, carried the body down stairs
in sheet, placed it in the coffin and gave
it decent burial. Two weeks have passed
and neither of them have experienced the
least mark of illness. uia.... ra.,,

Terrible Loss of Life.

The steamer "Metis" which left New
York for Norwich on last Friday night
was run into by a sailing vessel about 3
o'clock the following morning, and sank
before she could be run to the shore. There
were a large number of passengers on
board, and over seventy are missing who
are supposed to be lost. A number of
bodies have been washed on to the beach.
The steamer was very fine one belonging
to the passenger line running between New
York and Boston via. Norwich. The ves-
sci doing the damage sailed away and it is
not known what vessel it was. ..t

Postal Cards.

The Attorney General gave written
opinion last week to the Postmaster Gen
eral, deciding that the Postoffice Depart
ment cannot make contract for the manu-
facture of postal cards, proposals for which
were expected to be invited about this time
until Congress makes a specific appropria-
tion to pay for them. BY the Postal Code
bill, the Postmaster General was author
lied and directed to prepare and furnish
postal cards, but when this bin passed, the
Postal Appropriation bill had already been
acted on, and it contained no appropriation
for said purpose. The Department, how
ever, under the direction of the postal code
have prepared specifications, ETC., for the
postal cards, believing they could be paid
for out of some general appropriation, but
upon the matter being submitted to the
Attorney General it is discovered that this
cannot be done, and consequently the es-
tablishment of the system must await a
specific appropriation by Congress at the
next session. L..,

A Terrible Accident.

On Monday evening of last week car
riage containing five persons, was struck
by fast line near Tacony Pa. and all the
occupants were killed. The force of the
collision was so great that the carriage was
broken in hundreds Of pieces. The horse
trotted away uninjured, he having got over
the track. After the train had passed, the
passengers waiting at the station for the
way train hastened to the place where the
accident happened, when it was found that
an old gentleman and three children, who
were in the carriage were dead and the dri-
yer was hurt SO badly that he died In few
minutes after being taken into tho house.

Mysterious Murder in Baltimore.

An old lady named Mrs. Amelia Wheat
was on the night of the 27th ult., shot
through the head while in bed asleep. Her
nephew, named Jesse Uppercue, aged 90,
was the only person in the house when the
police went in, Immediately on hearing the
pistol-shot. The Coroner's jury rendered a
verdict that the deceased came to her death
by pistol-shot fred by party to the jury
unknown. Immediately after the verdict
Jesse Uppercue was arrested on warrant
issued by a judge of the Criminal Court of
that city, and is now in custody of the
Sheriff, charged with the murder. Up
percue is law student, and is said to have
sustained an unexceptional reputation,
among those who know him. He was in
the house, and was the first to give the
alarm of the murder. On the arrival of an
officer, Uppercue stated that during the
night his aunt called to him and requested
him to come to her room, as she felt ner-
vous. He did SO laying down on the bed by
the side of Mrs. Wheat, and shortly there
after fell asleep. How long he slepth does
not know, but was suddenly awakened by
the report of apistol, when he discovered a
man retreating from the room to the front
door, He instantly sprang from the bed
and fired two shots from his own revolver
at the retreating robber and murderer, who
escaped. Mrs. Wheat was shot through
the left temple. H 1H

Capers Of lightning.

The lightning cuts up some queer capers
sometimes, and a narrow escape from death
is told by one of the Connecticut papers |:
"The electric fluid entered at the window
of q room in the second story where boy
lay in bed, but not asleep. 1t leaped across
the room to the wall, crossing the bed
where the boy lay, and tore both the sheets
on the bed into fragments, scorching one
badly, but leaving the boy unharmed. 1t
ripped lath and plastering from the wall
and scattered them all over the room.--
Then it descended to the lower floor, and
into closet, smashing large quantity of
crockery. 1t hurled two lamps from man
tel-piece in the kitchen across the room,
overturned and smashed a clock on the
other side of the chimney, and then sepa-
down through brick hearth into the cellar
while third went out at the side of the
house, ripping the boards in pieces. The
boy wild with fear, came running down
whether he took off his night-shirt himself
or whether the lightning took it off for him.
He was unharmed, not even stunned. He
said that he lay "cuddled" down into the
bed a large feather bed with the clothes
drawn up over his head SO that he could
not see the lightning, and that there was
noise as if some one had fired q cannon in
his ears that there was burning heat, and
a general tumbling up of everything, and
that he thought he had stayed there about
long enough, and so went down stairs.
