ARREST OF A HORSE THIEF AND DEsPER TIE
CHARACTER.-AbOut a month since we min
lished from the Romney Intellgencer an ac-
count OF the operations III Hampshire county of
very bold and desperate horse thief vino
passed under several aliases, but whose real
name was ascertaned to be y. r.. Wooten
Wooten, while pursuing his nefariOus business
on Capon river, came very nearly being ap,re-
hended by an officer and posse, but made his
escape at night by jumping out of his bed room
and fleeing in his night clothes, not howe YER
without having attempted to shoot one or two
OF his pursuers. He left the region of his ey-
ploits, and was not again heard of for several
weeks, when he was discovered by Town-ser-
geant Brown, of Piedmont, to be at work as a
carpenter, under the alias of Williams in the
railroad shops at Piedmont. Sergeant Brown
AT once communicated with the authorities
anu ON Saturday morning the sheriff and
deputy sheriff of LOudOn county, Virginia
accompanied by another gentleman, reached
Piedmont for the purpose Of securing Wouten
and taking him to Virginia for trial As soon
as all arrangements were perfected Sercean
Brown proceeded to make the arrest. He was
compelled to use force, and probably would not
nave succeeded in his efforts had he not had
assistance. Wooten, although not large man,
IS SAID to be very strong one, and not easily
handled. He is avery desperate character, and
when arrested had on his person a reyoi yer
which he declared he would have used and
he would not have been arrested had he known
OF the designs OF the officers. On Saturday
night the Nirg ina officers started for Loudoun
county with their prisoner. He will be tried
there, as some of his thefts were committed in
that dOunty.-CumJertdnd Nelos, 9Th.

THE LATE EARTHQUAKE IN MORT FERN
NEW YoRK.-A letter from Malone, y. V.
lated April PC, gives the following particulars
respecting the earthquake shocks on the 18th,
previously reported: We had four shocks here,
quite heavy; the last one was decidedly smart,
making things in the store rattle, and causing
me to jump. The crest of the wave, if may so
call it, seemed to come directly under our
house, with bump upward. We have never
the country. These shocks really reminded ME
OF a memorable light at Fayal, when the wise
sat up ID night; but the foolish, thinking that
shocks that had already occurred would end the
disturbance, retired, only to be frightened at
midnight, dashing In their night clothes into
the gardens, remaining there with fear and
trembling until after the final shock, which
came with three separate reports, tUmbling
down wallis and fences, and killing two men.
The reports in two of the shocks yesterday were
decided enough, assure you. Six years ago
chimneys were tOPpled down in POtsdam, and
the shocks yesterday were quite as severe.
ARREST OF AN ALLEGED BLACK MAILER
The detective police arrested in New York yes
agent. on the charge Of having blackmailed
Charles Frank. The accused threatened to
give information that Franks wife poisoned her
former husband, but was willing to cOmpro-
mise matters for 100000 He finally agreed to
settle the matter for 5000. The police put up
decoy parcel OF money, and gave Reiman a
check for 81 COO He was secured while pre-
senting the check, and taken to headquarters.
The INDIANS OF OREGON, according to the
report given by the agent at Warm Springs to
the Dallis MOuntaineer, "are collected at

1900, under an old dreamer called Smoke hol-

MURDER TRIALS IN Northumberland ali
Cole and Robert Carter, two colored men are
row on trial at Annapolis for the murder of a
Arundel county on the 9th Of January. The
state is represented by Messrs. Revell and Ire
land; Messrs. A. Thomas Mccullough and NJ
bannOn for the defence. Yesterday several
witnesses were examined on the part of the
prosecution. Their testimony was to the effect
that the deceased and the prisoners were part
of crowd who were wrestling and knocking
abusing Cole, and daring him 10 fight, and thus
finally Carter handed pistol 70 Cole and told
him to shoot Waters, which he did, with fatal
effect One witness testified that Waters once
offered his hand to Cole, but he refused it, say
ing he wouldn't shake hands with a man who
abused him so; Waters then went away but he
came back again and cursed and abused Cole
when he shot him. The trial will probably be
concluded to-day. The case of the two men
charged with the murder of Mrs. Lampley will
scarcely be reached before THURSDAY.

Col. THOMAS SCOTT, the railway mag
nate, has been interviewed and his views
are published on the currency question.
He muchly agrees with the President and
favors the new fashioned invention of an
elastic currency" Wonder if this is not
another expression for the old phrase of
thirty years ago, to wit, "a currency of
expansion to-day, and contraction to-
morrow"
The fact is, ~"inJgatiOn" is only ROBBERY
of labor and honest business. and so is
contraction. Initiation must, in time, re-
suit in contraction, and both are equally
%ruinous. The experience of the last few
years, especially of the last few months,
should convince all rejecting persons of
the truth of what We say.
"BIest Paper Credit last and best supply,
That lends corruption lighter wings TO fly"
When we consider the narrow minded,
selfish littleness of public men-their mi
croscopic gazs, and a timidity which sees
not beyond their own parsonage and in
terest-ne wonder they prefer to continue
in close proximity to the crater OF the
ever active and destroying volcano. Their
view looks not through the open window
to the broader fields of the historic land
scape with lis extended horizon, from
which comes the fresh air frelghted with
lessons of immense value. Let us profit
by the lights and shades of the Past-get
wisdom from the experiments of our an
~cestors, and avoid the rocks and shadows
of wrong and injustice upon which other
nations have stranded.

Is progressing rapidly. New ties are be-
ing laid on the bed Of the Carrollton and
Oneida Railroad, preparatory to laying T
rail for the new railroad, and the grading
is being worked this side of Pekin. The
route through Minerva has not been defn-
itefy determined, but it will probably go
through on the Carroll side of the county
lipe.-It has been found that there would
be some ugly cuts in the heart of the town
were the choice to fall or Line street, so a
preference seems to lay between a couple
of the streets laying south of that. How
ever, as we have already intimated, there
has been nothing definite determined con
corning the route, as yet; but by the time
our next number is Issued, we will proba-
bly, be prepared to say just what has been
(by that time) done, for it will be deter
mined and carried into effect before a week
