Stage Attacked.

As will be seen by the follnwi, e dispatch.
the coach coming this way from Corinne was
fired into by robbers and the diver. Charley
Phelps, it is supposed, was MORALLY wounded:
@ BLACK Rock, IDAno, July II.
The coach coming north was fired into at
I1:30last night when about two miles n55;:..thl,
OF Robbers Roost Station. Six passengers
were OH board, and among them were Dr.
Glazier, Captain Norton of the u. s. ARMY.
The U. s. Marshal was sitting by the side o
the driver, Charles Phelps and Miss Stevens.
Two men masked, one on each side OF ibe
road were all that were seen. Both fired al
the same time. The man on the side of the
driver was armed with shot gun loaded with
bullets, and the other man was armed witt, .
rife. The ball of the latter took effect ii ..a.4
abdomen of the driver intlictine a serious
and perhaps fatal wound. When The ball
struck the driver it paralyzed him SO he
slaokened the team, but the other man started
them up. After going a half mile tile coach
was stopped and the driver taken inside to
attend to his wound. He was then brought
on to this station. 1t is impossible 10 tell the
r E.s. a= 1t I 4# 5
result of the wound until the arrival ot sur |
geon. Several theories are ont as to why the |
coach coming north should be attacked. |
These men, or two men were seen encamped |
in the hills by the stock tender at Robbers |
Roost, and as the messenger coach pas es
this one near here some think the robbers got I
afraid this coach would post tie messenger
as tn their Whereabouts and so concluded to
stop both. Others think the party was after
the U. s. Marshal, who was sitting with the
driver. The Court has been in session at

The State Convention has been
held, and candidates nominated. r.
w. Mackey of Allegheny was nomina-
ted for State Treasurer on the first bal
lot. Our delegate, Mr.. j. B. Agnew,
who was not instructed on that Office,
was one of eighteen who voted for
Samuel Henry for that Office. We are
glad this was the case, as Mackey had
the reputation Of being the "ring can
didate," but the strength he developed
in the convention, showed that if he
was the "ring candidate" that the
"ring" was composed of nearly the
whole Republican vote of the State,
as represented in the convention.
Hon. 1. G. Gordon, the Republi-
can nominee for Supreme Judge, had
for opponents two gentlemen whose
friends were determined to leave no
stone unturned to accomplish their
nomination. But it was apparent to
all that the West was entitled to the
Office, and on the tenth ballot Jupge
Gordon was nominated, having re-
ceived a majority of all the votes cast.
We can recommend this ticket to
the Republicans of our County as one
well worthy their support. Judge
Gordon we believe to have been the
choice of all this portion of the State,
and of course will carry all the Repub-
lican, and probably some of the Dem
ociatic vote of this section. If elect
ed Judge Gordon will reflect credit
upon himself and the people who put
him in that position.
Although perhaps Mackey as not
the choice of the entire Republican
population of this part of the State
yet it is SO evident that he is the choice
of the party in Pa, that we bow tc
the will of the majority. None will
say that Mr.. -Mackey is incompetent
for the position, and none but his po-
litical enemies express doubts as tc
his honest administration of the
duties of the Office; and, indeed, VIZ
should be tempted to think there wa;
something wrong with him if the Dem
ocratic organs did not cry out against
him. We repeat therefore, that We
believe the ticket worthy the supporr
of all honest men.

Yesterday evening man named
Allen Wyant, residing at the head of
Two Mile Run, and who ia deputy
tax collector, arrived in town, en- route
to Pioneer, whittier he was going for
the purpose of collecting taxes. Up.
on arriving there he found the parties
absent from twon, and accordingly
drove back to Petroleum Centre with
the intention. of stopping all night.
Arriving here he put up his team, and
started out to take look at the town
about nine o'clock'in the evening. He
journeyed along up the street, and, rs
he says, stopped into TWO or three
places and drank liquor to some ex-
tent, but not enough to intoxicate.
While walking along a short distance
above the old "free and easy" he
states he was assaulted by Henry
O'Brian, knocked down with piece
of board or stick, and beaten in most
shocking manner. He managed to
crawl away on his hands and knees
across the street into the grass and
underbrush, where he was subsequent
ly picked up and brought down town.
He claims also that he was robbed of
eighteen dollars and valuable papers.
This is his version. O'Brien, we are
informed, states that Wyant was intox-
icated at the time, and had knocked
down woman by the name Of Vic.
Williams, and that he turned in to
assist the woman, and knocked Wyant
down. His story may be true, and
assuming that it is, there was no rea-
son whatever, as far as we can learn,
for beating man after that fashion.

States mint, to be used for trade pur-
poses, and known as the "trade dollar"
is making its appearance. 1t weighs
seven and half grains more than
that of 1871, and thirty-six grains
more than two half dollars of that
date. On the diverse cf the new coin
is representation of Commerce seated
upon a bale of cotton and grasping an
olive branch of peace in her extended
right hand. Upon a scroll, grasped
by her left and trailing gracefully. to
the ground, is the word Liberty"
while beneath the whole and imme-
diately above the date "1S73," is the
motto, an God we trust" A sheaf
of .ripened wheat and a view, in the
distance, of the sea, complete the pic
ture and the emblematical Significance
of the whole. The seated figure is
somewhat smaller than the one on the
original dollar. Thirteen stars, also
somewhat smaller, surround the whole,
The general characteristics of the re-
verse are the same as on the ordinary
dollar, an eagle grasping in its talons
the emblematical arrows and olive
branch occupying the centre.

incident that occurred at his boarding
house the other morning in Lancaster.

fast table engaged in discussion of
"Cesarism," and soon began to pune
tnate their remarks by flihging crocke-
ry ware at each others head, and
brandishing knives and forks, and
threatening to cause life-blood to flow,
A panic ensued. The lantllady ran
out of the house screaming murder, a

years of age tainted dead away and
had all the paint and enamel washed

cellar, the eyes Of the potatoes bulged
