THE MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA BOUNDARY
CoMMIssIoN.-Th boundary commission con-
tinucd their session yesterday, meeting at 10 a.
N. and adiourning at p. m All the mem
bers except Mr. Watts, of Virginia, were pre-
sent. No results We're arrived at but the claims
of each State as to the boundaries were to some
extent. though not formally presented and dis
cussed There is evidently wide difference
between the two sides, aud each iscou6dent that
its claim is Just and the lines contended for are
the true ones. The argument on the Virginia
side goes back to Queen Eiizabcth's grant to
Sir Walter Raleigh in lj>j The Maryland
commissioners, however meet this by the argu-
meDt that the Court of King Bench in 1924
declared this as the Fairfax graut on which the
Virginia commissioners also base their claim,
void SO far as they went to claim the northern
low-water mark of the Potomac as their bounds
and the Maryland commissioners claim that the
southern low water mark of the Potomac is the
true line, as is proved by the grant to Lord
Baltimore As to the Eastern Shore boundary
the Calvert line of lG6S is agreed by both sides
to be the true line, but there is a difference as
to what that line is to the extent ottwcnty-three
square miles of territory now and for over two
hundred years past, they say, Included IN that
part of Maryland known as Worcester county.
The labors of the members of the commission
on both sides have been very onerous, with
such mass of documentary and other testimony
to examine and compare. After their labors
are concluded, should they agree as to the Po-
tomac line and the Eastern Shore line Of bound
airy between the two States, then the Legisla-
ture of each State will have to ratty the con-
curing action of the commissioners. The first
commissioner on the part of Maryland was Col.
Thomas Lu of Baltimore county, appointed BY
Governor Hicks in 1861, under the autholty OF
an act of Legislature Of 1852 Col. Mcdonald,
the Virginia commissioner of that time, 1t Is
said first made on behalf of his State those
claims which have given rise to the present
differences as to boundary. -BuLttm0rc .Sun.

4 New WAY OF KILLING TIGERS. An
English tiger hunter tells the Indian Pioneer
how he kills the Royal Bengals:'
l use the old Kentucky pea rife, eighty
bore, which had with me in Texas and Colo
RADIO. Since then | got it converted into a
breech-loader, and it now takes three and a-halt
drachms of powder, and a hollow picket nearly
three diameters 10 length, made of thin steel
and coated with platinum to give it weight aud
enable it to take the rifng There is a small
screw plug in the base which can be taken out.
The cases, which are very long, and the pickets
am obliged to get out from Springfield, Mass.
as there are none manufactured in England.
Well. the secret of my bagging to certainty
every tiger I hit with single bullet from this
pea-rife is this, that fill mp the hollow in the
picket with nine or ten grains of strychDlne
of Scheeles strength. That is, | reckon, an
overdose as | believe one grain of this strength
would kill tiger; but give him to the extent
the picket will hold.
With this bullet so prepared, it does not mat
ter in the slightest degree 10 what part OF the
body you hit the tiger; all that is necessary is
that the bullet penetrate the skin somewhere
and you sit down and smoke your pipe as
generally do after firing, you will find the ami
NAL lying dead in from ten minutes to an hour
or So according, | fancy, as to whether the
picket breaks up at large or small vein.

LIGHT has been thrown at last upon the
murder of Professor Panormo of Brooklyn,
which was detailed fully at the time of its oc.
currence, in the latter part Of January last. A
notorious gang, known as the ''silver gang,
from their partiality for that metal refined, have
long infested the rich sections of the city, and
been the terror and scourge of property holders.
Capt. Ferry, one of the shrewdest detectives in
the country, has been devoting his talents to
the capture of these pests. He has been very
successful, and at one time secured 10 New
York numerically the larger portion Of the
gang Still later he arrested mere youth
named Higgins, who was found with enough
recent plumber, afterward identified, upon his
person to convict him, and he was tried and re-
ceived the sentence be deserved. By playing
upon his hopes and fears, the weak points OF
thieves and murderers, Captain Ferry was en-
abed to extract valuable information from
him. His statement implicated two burglars
Scott and 0 Brien, now serving out sentences
for lesser crimes, as the immediate authors OF
Professor Ponarmo' S death, o Brien being the
man who struck the fatal blow. Another man,
Kane, an English burglar, was involved in the
dark transaction, but he fed, probably to
Michigan. The parties had come over to
Brooklyn on marauding expedition, and not
finding plumber plenty we're returning, when
Panormo came in their way, and 1t was propo9-
sed to go through him His pockets yield
ed quite satisfactory spoils 10 money and vaua,
bles, and but for his cries for help he Would
have been allowed to pass on. These alarmed
his assailants, and they gave him his quetus

A. r. STEWART on Mr.. GREELEY's ELEc
TIoN-A reporter of the New York Herald
publishes the following interview with MIR. \.
T. Stewart in New York city:
Reporter. Mr.. Stewart, you are probably
aware of the existence of an impression in the
public mind, and which is sought to be strength
ened to aid the administration interests 10 the
coming election, that the elevation OF Mr..
Greeley to the presidency would lead to results
adverse to the financial interests Of the mcr-
camille community and Of the country generally
| have been directed by the Herald to call
upon you, sir, to learn whether it Is agreeable
to you to make public your views upon the
subject.
Mr.. Stewart, What is it you want to know
Reporter. Well, We want to know whether
you look forward to Mr.. Grecleys election as
likely to produce uneasiness and financial dill
fculty in the financial world
Mr.. Stewart do not Why should it
lead to difficulty?
Reporter. Well, it is said that Mr. Gree
ley's peculiar financial views would be the re-
verse of those entertained by Mr. Boutwell,
Mr.. Stewart Can you tell me what are the
views of Mr.. Boutwell,? | never could learn
that he had any special views or policy. | sup
posed his course was controlled by his juig
ment of existing circumstances. SO far as his
policy consists in purchasing, at large pre-.
MUM, Government bonds not yet due. | think
the sooner that is terminated the better Tor
the country and the sooner it is understood
that the Government intends entering upon 4
policy, which at some future time, no matter
how remote, will lead to resumption Of specie
payments, the better it will be for everybody.
Continuing the course that has been pursued
the last four years will never lead us to specie
payments, but leaves every merchant at the
mercy of the gold gamblers.
Reporter. Then you have no fear that the
election of Mr.. Greeley will produce any fnan,
cial difficulty?
Mr.. Stewart. None whatever.
Reporter What do you think Of his pre-.
sent views on the tariff: question? Would they
not if carried out by change of the tariff.
lead to come confusion with the merchants
Mr. Stewart Not at ALL On he con
trary, think Mr.. Greeley leaves that question
where it always should be lcft-with the peo
pie. through their members of Congress, un.
controlled by party dctation. | have always
contended that the tariff laws, to which our
country looks for its revenue, should be dictat
ed wholly by rules Of equity and justice, AMI
so as to bear equally in their application upon
all interests and all classes. Take off the party
whip, allow the members of Congress to con
suit the general interests of their respective
constituents in framing the tariff laws, and |
believe we would find every interest much bet
ter served aud protected than it now is.

LIQUOR AND MURDER.-The feeling 10
Chicago in regard to the frequency OF barba-
rous murders In that city seems to intensity
among the orderly classes, and this feeling is to
take shape Oh Monday evening next in second
mass meeting to consider the cause of the
present decentralization The call for the meet
ing has been signed by many Of the best cltl-
zens of Chicago and it is intimated that they
will seek to encourage more stringent enforce
ment of the present laws regulating the sale of
liouor. The evidence in most of the recent
murder cases in that city shows that drunken
ness was at the bottom Of the murders COM
mitted; and hence, probably, the determine
ton of the respectable classes among the Cblca,
go people to check. by legal means, the spread
Of the influence of intoxicating drinks.

4 Detective story.


RICHMOND, Ind, January 23.-The finale
of rather complicated piece of detective
work has just been reached by Detective
Page, of this city. In the winter of 1864, a
gang Of burglars made a raid on Earlham
College, carried off a number of trunks be
longing to students to remote corner of
the college grounds, where they opened
them and distracted all the valuables they
contained, including clothing, jewelry, etc.
They left some tools on the premises, which
were placed in the hands of Detective Page.
For some time no other clue was found to
the burglars; but, at length, the detective
worked in with man in a State prison of a
neighboring State, who had been connected
with the crime. Through him he found out
the whereabouts of the leader of the gang,
who had gone into business in Western
State. BY this time the parties were not in
dictable under the statute of limitation in
this State. But Mr.. Page, relying upon
the supposition that the criminal was not
aware of this fact, proceeded at once to his
place of residence. The young man, find
ing himself hemmed up, confessed to the
robbery, and offered to compromise. After
consulting an attorney, Mr.. Page decided
to accept the offer, and accordingly re
ceivrd from him an amount sufficient to
cover all expenses, and to, at least. partial
~ reimburse the owners of tie trunks.
