Outraged-Tvo OF the Villains in Jail.
The annals OF crime in New Jersey do not con-
tain the record OF more barbarous and fendish
act than that perpetrated on Wednesday morning
by gang OF six men near the Weehawken Jerry.
woman named Anne Deering, sixty years OF age,
crossed over at an early hour from her home in
New York to visit her niece in west Hopoken. She
had not proceeded quarter Of mile from the
ferry when the scOundrels seized her, dragged her
or the highway, alter which each OF
the gang committed a crime too revolving
to mention. The hends tnen partially stripped the
book containing So 75. This they appropriated.
The poor woman was able to appear before Justice
Dwyer yesterday and make atiidavt to these facts.
The scounarels implicated are George Davis,
BARLEY Kirwan, John Klrwan, William
Lawless, John Henry and Richard DAVIS.
The first two were arrested and lodged
in the County JAIL nephew OF the Old woman,
who resiaes in FOrty-seventh street, New YORK,
accompanied by three men, searched Gutenberg
rufans and made loud threats that the courts
would be spared all trouble II the rascals could be
found by them. Two OF the men proceeded toward
Buil's Ferry; the third returned to New York and
announced his determination to Keep a close
watch al the ferry.
1t Is only two weeks since O similar outrage was
perpetrated on married woman from New York
near the same place, and there Is little doubt that
the gang now involved were concerned in IS. The
semblance oil government IN Weenawken has been
called to account so frequently or late that deter.
mined effort Will be made at the next session of
the Legislature to annex the township to HOboken

Fred Grants Future.
Irrrsm the Chicago Timss.l


Mr.. Charles Algernon Frederick Sar-
toris' "best man," Lieutenant Colonel
Frederick Dent Grant, U. s. A., Is con-
templating matrimony. In fact, he has
carried his CONCENTRATIONS to an extent
that he has made the proposition to q
beautiful young damsel Of Chicago, and
is now in all probability preparing plans
and specifications that will fairly eclipse
his British brother-in-law. To accom-
plish his hymsneal predictions Lieu
tenant Colonel Grant has come to Chi
cago. and found in the person Of Miss
Ida Honore, daughter Of II. II. Honore.
Esq, the one TO which he wishes to join
his fortunes, in peace and war. "for bet
ter, for worse" The gossips, who know
all about these matters. say that the
young lady r~eciprocates the preference
shown her by MIR. Grant, and further
state that the affair has so far developed
as to set apart the day for the happy
event, which will be in the charming
month Of October. Miss Honore il the
sister Of Mrs. Potter Palmer. who was
one Of the chosen guests at Miss Nellie
Grants wedding. and Is, furthermore,
one OF the leading young ladies Of Chi
cago society. As TO where the nuptials
will be performed has not yet transpired,
but Of course Chicago will be the point,
aud 1t is safe to predict that it will be
the most sumptuous affair the city has
ever witnessed. Society people will be
ON the qui vive for particulars, and, rs
Ms the cards are scattered. there
will be the most extraordinary prepara-
tons placed ON foot.

One skeleton in the Bescher closet
has at Last been fairly forced to the light;
and certainly 1t is grisly enough to sx-
plain some Of the mysterious features OF
Mr.. Bescher's conduct. One Of his sis
tiers appears in the light Of convert to
free love doctrines, a devotec Of Mrs.
woodhull's, IN absolute believer in that
persons stories against her brother. and
bitterly resolved to force him to further
the cause by confessing' DIR. Edward
Bescher's letter to her on the subject is
published. and 1t makes as sickoning a
revelation as has been seen for many 4
day. II has long been limited that the
warsfare on Mr.. Beecher had its origin
in the anger Of a free love wing Of the
Woman Suffrage party in New York;
but few really believed that his own sis
ter could be the instrument specially
chosen for his torture.
