DISHONEST SERVANTS At DEER PARK
HOTEL.
A brief mention was made in THE NATIONAL
REPUBLICAN Of yesterday of the arrest, by
Detectives McElfresh and Coomes, of w. q.
James and wife in response to q telegram to
that effect from Mr.. James Sykes, proprietor Of
the Deer Park hotel, on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, above Cumberland, Nd. 1t
appears that both of the accused had been in
the employ Of the proprietor Of the hotel, one
as head waiter and the other as chambermaid.
For some time past toilet articles and other
things have been missing from the different
rooms, and the thief or thieves remained un-
discovered until suspicion pointed to the parties
arrested, both Of whom had Just leit the pro-
prietor's service. Consequently their arrest
was requested and effected, since which time
additional and positive proof has been obtained
against them. Yesterday Detective Coomes
secured Q box that James had sent home,
which, on being opened, contained articles,
some Of them bearing the names of guests now
stopping at the hotel. Officer W. d. Miller, IN
the employ of the railroad company and doing
duty at the hotel, arrived here yesterday morn.
ing, and returned in the evening with the two
prisoners, who will have an examination in
Cumberland, probably to-day.

large numbef Of ladies and gentlemen, who
had assembled In Lincoln hall, dpop the subject
of Bible teaching, discoursing at length upon

found BY experience 10 obtain large attend

4 PECULIAR CARD.
FACTS RELATING TO MATRIMONIAL
TNFET TCITV

To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: In your edition of Tuesday last, 18th
inst, you quoted from Washington letter
published in the Cincinnati Gazette 9 state
ment of an unfortunate difference between 9
young army officer and his wife, containing IN
necessary end unwarrantsbls illusions to the
family Of the lady in question. have It from
responsible parties that the contents Of that
quoted letter were exaggerated, and in the
main untrue. Furthermore, It appears, upon
investigation, that the indignation Of the hus.
band is produced by Q morbid jealousy. and 10
such an extent has he allowed bis extravagant
feelings to miscontrol him, that he has been
known to inhict physical punishment upon her
person. This statement is based upon the as
surances Of parties who are in no way connected
with the family of either party.
From the same source comes the additional
assurance that the lady is pure, and that the
only blemish that can be found upon her char.
aoter is that placed upon it BY her unworthy
and cowsrdly husband.
Please give this, or its substance, prominence
and publicity equal to that which you gave the
extracted article above mentioned. c. W.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
ACCIDENT ON THE BALTIMORE AM
- OHIO RAILROAD.

ACCIDENT ON THE BALTIMORE AND
OHIO RAILROAD.
The few passengers from Washington on the
10 q. m. express train for Baltimore, over the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, when Q few miles
beyond the Relay, were startled by q series Of
sharp, shrill whistles, blown at the interval Of
few secQpds each, causing those familiar with
railroad Signals to thrust their heads out of the
windows, 70 see what was the occasion OF the
alarm, when to those Occupying seats on the
right-hand side Of the cars was revealed the
horrible sight of the feet and lower extrenities
of 9 woman protruding from the cow-catcher.
The cars stopped % quickly, By means Of the
application. Of the steam brake, Is to almost
throw passengers out of their seats, and TO the
many wishing to rescue the startling view Of
the body Of poor elderly eolored woman (clad
coarsely, though such clothing as she wore
was serupulously elean) was revealed doubled
up on the front platform Of the coW-catcher,
Immediately in front Of the steaming boiler,
bleeding profusely from q number Of wounds
in the head, and utterly insensible, and to all
appearances dead. She was quickly rescued
BY willing hands from her perilous position
and carried to the baggage-car, where sympa-
thiZing hands lent ready assistance, though the
absence Of q physician on the train was much
lamented. Alongside Of her on the platform
was found large key, (no doubt Of her hum
bic habitstion,) g small chip basket, and an
| insignificant sum Of money.
Upon the arrival Of the train IN Baltimore,
| about ten minutes Afterwards, the gratifying
sight was presented of this woman seated on q
trunk, apparently very weak, though indicst-
| ing that she had not suffered fatal injuries.
She was quickly removed TO the hospital, but
our informant was unable to ascertain the eX-
| tent of her injuries. .r
We question very much whether the annals
of railroad accidents furnish as miraculous a
preservation from en- imminent and horrible
death as the above, considering the fact that
this train makes the trip between here and
Baltimore in ifty-fve minutes and only stops
at the Relay, and at the time Of the accident
was going at the highest rate Of speed. The
| poor woman was evidently walking on the
| track and must have been deaf.

4 LUCKY ESCAPE.
MR.. F. RIDLoN's HORSE RUNS AWAY

Mr.. F. RIDLON'S HORSE RUNS AWAY
AND SMASHES THE CARRIAGE.
Mr.. F. Ridlon, superintendent Of Pope &
Fletcber's Palisade chemical works Of New
York, occupies an Office in The REPUBLICAN
building, aud has an extensive business under
his management, which is steadily on the in
crease. During the present summer he Sc
cured a residence for his family on the Pearce
estate, short distance beyond the old mill,
where they enjoy q most pleasant time, and
are Tree from the hest Of the city. L is his
custom to 60 out home in the evening and re-
tuIn to his place Of business early in the morn
ing. Yesterday, about O'Clock q. m, he
made his usual departure for town, driving the
bright bay, hitherto considered kind and gen.
tie, although good roadster. Turning round
the small hill, . short distance from the house,
the animal made sudden start, and Mr.. Rid
low attempted to check him up suddenly, when
the bit parted, leaving him at the mercy Of
the horse, which started on a rapid gate down
the road. He pulled hard upon the reins un-
I'll one was broken, and the bride drawn of
the horses head, and then left without any
restraint whatever.
Mr.. Ridlon, COmprehending the dangerous
situation, looked about for the quickest and
safest means to eTtTicate himself, but ere he
could make decision the horse ran or the side
of bill, OveTtuTuing the buggy, smashing II
TO atoms, and sending the driver 10 kiss the
earth. He came out Of the vehicle like q shot,
and landed about three feet beyond where Il
was upset, fortunately receiving no other IN
jury than q sprain to the left wrist and few
bruises. The horse was checked without doing
harm to himself, and after being reharnessed
and hitched TO another vehicle, broIRht his
owner safely into the city. Mr. Ridion can
congratulate himself on making a lucky es-
cape, considering the dangers connected with a
runaway.

THE ASSOCIATIONS AID.
The members of the National Monument As
ISOLATION are making another, and probably
successful, effort to obtain funds to complete
the unfinished shaft which has been started as
permanent testimonial of the reverence and
veneration held by the American people to
their first and great President, which Is in
tended TO out-top in height all similar struc-
lures. It Is to be constructed of the purest
Parian marble, but even then will not be purer
than his life, and when completed will bear
true testimony to the deep seated affection OF
| his countTymen,
This rich and massive shaft, which viii,
when completed, be the highest of its kind in
the world, though simple and plain, will be
noble monument, worthy the sublime charac-
| ter which it is designed to testify. Within the
obelisk, and at appropriate places on the inner
surface past which the circular stairway lead
| ing 70 the top Is constructed, are nlehes IN
which are TO be placed blocks OF marble, stone,
| and other material, which have been contrib
uted by the States and Territories Of the Union,
/ by foreign governments, by societies in this
| country and elsewhere. These embrace some
| beautiful tributes TO the memory of Washing
ton, and have been sent to the society from
almost every civilized country in the world.
Switzerland, Rome, Bremen, Turkey, Greece,
China, Japan, and other countries have united
to do honor TO Washington; Masonic societies,
the Order Of Odd Fellows, fire companies and
children of the public schools of this country;
some Of the Indian nations have made contTi-
buttons that will be placed in their appropriate
inches as perpetual testimonials Of the CRATE
full affection in which the memory of the
Father of his Country is cherished.
The design for a terrace for the base is
I thought to be more appropriate and more har-
mOnious with the style Of architecture adopted
in the monument than the original pantheon,
which has excited so much criticism of late
years, while it is at the same time compare
lively inexpensive.
On the present plan there is no known struc-
lures on the globe which exceed its proposed
height of four hundred and eighty-fiYe feet.
