ONE OF THE REASONS.


The story of crime is always more OF
less shocking, but when 1t is brought home
to our very doors it becomes terrible. II is
strange, too, what fascination It's recital
has for some how eagerly they seek for
the most minute detail how, even, some
times, if not often. they gloat over the par
ticuars of their friends. as they would
have heretofore called them, then neigh
bors, their acquaintances descent into the
maelstrom of vice until finally the overt
crime is committed, detection follows and
th0n eomos imprisonment or flight. This
KIND OF feeling, we are compelled to say, is
not confined to any one class but permeatcs
the whole of society. We do not mean to
say that all so think and feel, because there
are many who shrink from reading the sad
story, but we do mean to say that taking
the community as a whole, the vast major
ity will read such reports with greater
avidity and with greater apparent delight
than any other portion of the news of the
day. 1t is morbid mental appetite which
seems to be growing stronger day by day.
and one to which the public press, unfortu-
nately, is compelled to minister MANY
conductors of newspapers would, if they
could, keep their columns free from
such matters but it is simply i'm.
possible. 1t is part of the news of
the day and, as such, the patrons of the
press demand its publcation-and it is
either that or suspension. Hudson. in his
History OF Journalism, gives us an ac-
count of daily newspaper which made its
first appearance in New York city in June,
1850, which was to be "a daily moral
paper, to give all the news, to shut out the
wretched criminal police reports to ignore
SANDER suits and prurient divorce cases
not to shock the public with the horrid de.
tails of murders but to give the news, such
MS ought to satisfy any reasonable being
etc, etc For this purpose large amount
OF money was subscribed, one of the hest
stocked offices in New York was nrc.
pared, an able corps of editors was secured
and the paper made its appearance, as
hudson says. "a dignifed moral sheet
"lth large list of subscribers. But the
subscribers were not satisfied with their
news They wanted to read of murders
ana other crimes and about Islander suits.
and were, therefore. compelled to buy an
other newspapcr--the Times, 7riJune or
the New York HeraM, and two papers
were more than they wanted. The sub.
scrlbers dropped off one by one, two HIM.
ired thousand dollars were sunk in the
effort to make the World ga dignified
moral sheet, and the present worldly
WOrid took its place. Such is the public
demand Such is the public taste. Such
Is the appetite the press is more or les.
compelled to cater to. Does not this. IN n
great measure, account for the extraordl.
nary prevalence of crime 1t has been
SAID that the reading of Schillers "Rob.
bers' has made more crime than any othe,
one cause, and there is reason in the state.
mcnt, 50 we believe that this prurient
morbid appetite for the sickening. disgust.
ing details of crime and scandal is one Of
the hot-beds where vice and crime are ron.
Grated.

HARRISON PIsINDIE.

1t was sad, sad story that we were
compelled to record Wednesday morning
but one which, although it came unexpect-
eddy, we know not that we have any par.
ticular reason to be surprised at. Crime
is, just now, making itself fearfully felt
not only in Rutland, but throughout Yer
mont. The alleged crime, to which we
nov refer, was not committed in Rutland
or in Vermont, but the alleged criminal
was a former resident of this town, and
was respected as a citizen and as business
man-his business being that in which he
seems, finally to have met his fate, that of
an insurance agent Prior to his coming to
Rutland, he had resided in MANCHESTER.
where he studied and practlced law, so far
obtaining the confidence of the people of
Bennington county that he was elected
states attorney, resigning that office, we
believe, on coming TO Rutland. He, also,
enlisted in the fourteenth regiment of Yer
mont volunteers, and served as adjutant
during their term of service-nine months
If we mistake not, he added the business of
insurance agent to that of law while IN

kidnapping Case IN England.

A correspondent sends the following ac-
count of kidnapping case in England
nearly forty years ago, which in some of
its aspects resembles very much the case of
the Ross child in Philadelphia. The char
acter of Mr.. Ross is sufficient guaranty that
the cases, though similar in many respects,
cannot have a similar termination: "About
forty years ago a similar case to that of
the Ross boys kidnapping at Philadelphia
occurred in England. A beautiful child
father that his child could be ransomed for
five thousand pounds. The father replied
through the directed channel that he was a
poor man and could not raise five hundred
rounds (e500). Thercupon the robbers re-
piled that they knew he was poor man,
but they also knew that he had rich rea-
tiycs and friends from whom he could Dor
row the amount, and if he did not send it
by certain day the child would be killed
for self-protection. In the meantime the
whole affair had got into the papers and ali
England was aroused at the audacity of the
scoundrels. Large rewards were offered.
ministers preached from the pulpits about
it. Great sympathy was felt Tor the par
scnts' the money was raised, the child was
recovered. but all his beautiful curls had
been cut close off. The police and detec-
tiyes were totally unable to make any dis
cOverles as to who were the criminals.
Many arrests were made, but with no re-
suit.
1t is well known fact that the Bank of
England never reissues any of its notes, il
they have only been out even few min
ntes. One OF the gentlemen who con.
tribuicd to the fund for the ransom of the
child, knowing the above fact, went TO the
Bank of England and got its officers to
mark and register the bills he was going to
give the father to obtain the release of his
child, aud requested the bank officers TO
notify him when the bills should be re-
turned to the bank. He did this in tn G
hope Of getting some trace of the scoundrels
who had frightened the whole community.
Several months elapsed, when one day he
was notified that the bills had been return
ed to the bank Upon inquiry he found
That they had come from a bank in the
north of England. Thereupon he
posted north and found that the
bills had been deposited by person
VINO opened an account with them. The
gentleman and the bank clerk returned ia
London, when, upon arrival at his house. a
detective was sent for, and at the same
time the father of the stolen child was re.
! quested to meet them in order to inform
him of their discovery. Immediately upon
his coming into the room the bank clerk
said "Why, this is the gentleman who
deposited the bills with u.s." And so il
proved. In order to raise money he had
abducted his own child. 1t was noticed
that he had lived better since the restora.
ton of the child, but nothing was thought
OF that, as 1t was supposed that sympathiz-
ing friends supplied the means.
He was arrested for conspiracy to de-
fraud, tried, convicted and sentenced to
penal servitude. So ended the great child
kidnapping case, and people who had little
ones slept easier"

teen days, she p, wife of Jerome NJ.
Campbell.
Her maiden name was Potten She was
born in Minetto, Oswego county, n. Y,
Oct. 18th, 1910, and was therefore nearing
the thirty-fourth anniversary of her biith
In tender years she was left an orphan and
was taken to the home of an uncle in
Easton, where, as the years rolled by, she
grew up to be a young woman Of unusual
charms of person and goodness Of heart
In 1853 she became student at the Troy
conference academy. And here, while
assduously cultiyating her mind, she
gave her heart to Jesus, and with
some nineteen or twenty others, was bap-
tised, and united with the church. In July
1866 she was united in wedock to Mr..
Jerome NJ. Campbell of Poulmey, VI,
and with him in October of the same year,
removed to Fort Edward, where they re-
sided until her death. She made her home
beautiful, exemplifying the winning graces
of an unobtrusive and consistent Christian
life
To her grief stricken. husband and little
ones, girl of four years and boy of
twenty months, she has bequeathcd the
the memory of true wife, aud faithful
loving mother, an inheritance richer than
gold.
Her body was brought to Poultney and
inferred in the Poultney cemetery, Tues
day, 2Sth. The funeral services were con.
Quoted by her former teacher, Rev. VIM

ANXIOUS CHEpIToEs.

No representative of the company was in
the office Wednesday to confront the
hungry creditors. Instead. they were met
by deputy sheriff, who held possession
and four or five attachments upon the pro-
perly which other and more fortunate
creditors had succeeded in procuring in adj
vance. The clerks had sued for their sala-
ries. VIM r. Lamb held an attachment
for $780, VIM. II. Helmbold for $3.50. the
Spectator Company for S2,0l4, and Grand
Morris OF Monticello, on policy, $500.
The attachments were granted on atlidavits
asserting that the Peoples company is non
resident in New York, and lrs no accredt-
cd agent or manager here upon whom a
process can be served.
When the New York SIN reporter en-
tered the Office yesterday the scene was q
lively one. Policy holders OF the Peoples
company were rushing in and rushing Wild

him an immense power over the funds of

Railroad Prospects.

There is more energy apparent
among our leading citizens at this
time in the way Of railroad enterprise
than we have been able to note here
tofore. There seems quiet determin-
alton on the part Of those from whom
we have right to expect action, to
take measures which will secure the
building of the Los Angeles and Inde-
pendence Railroad. We understand
that the Company is effecting per-
manent organization and in a few days
an assessment of ten per cent. on the
stock subscribed will be levied. The
books will be opened. and all men of
means who desire the prosperity of
our city and valley will not hesitate
to take such an amount of stock
as their financial condition will war
rant. Senator JONES has subscribed
$220, 900 to aid in the construction of
this road and if the people of Los An
geles county will set the ball in mo-
tion with liberal subscriptions and en-
ergetic action he will not only invest
more of his own money but he will
induce other capitalists to invest their
means in the enterprise. There never
was time when the interests ofall de-
manded a more prompt and united
action of the entire community. The
building of this road is all important to
us, and we must not stand idly by and
let the opportunity to inaugurate and
carry out the work slip through our
fingers

AT this time it is hardly just to APP
ply the term "rotten burrough" to
the State of Nevada. The palm for
that sort of thing belongs to San Fran

in Office seems to be the custom and
not the exception. First the Tax Col
lector is discovered to have strayed
long way from the line of duty to the
people. Then the Assessors Office is
found in condition which necessi-
tates the taking charge thereof by the
Mayor and Auditor. Next we find
