From the Toronto Globe, Nov. l4.l " !.
Yesterday evening the city was
thrown IL to state Of intense excite.
ment by : report that q robbery-the
most daring and successful ever perpe-
trated in Canada, had been committed
on the Great Western Railway. A Globe
reporter was quickly on the alert, and
upon inquiry from ali the sources OF
Information, found the faPts to have
been these: The evening train leaving
Hanilton at about Q clock arrived at
Port Credit on time, and ever thing
then was in the usual order. Shortly
after leaving Port Credit, however. 4
man entered tho rear door Of the baggage
and express Car, and simultaneously
four othcr men came in the other
door, all disguised by having white
smocks drawn over their heads, cover.
ing the greater part Of their dresses,
with holes in the upper part to allow Of
their seeing their way for the carrying
on5of their operations. The man at
the rear door kept guard, so that no
escape, however dangerous that mil ght
have been, could be effected in that
way. The other four advanced in the
opposite direction, and two of them
seized the baggageman, named Mont.
gomery, and first gagging him with a
sort<o wad, previously prepared, Sc.
curely tied him, throwing him on the
floor Of the car. The other two des.
peradoes attacked the express mcssen-
ger, named Dundon, in the employ OF
the American Express Company, who,
upon Offering what resistance the cir.
cumstances permitted, was knocked
down, and also gagged and bound. The
men then. searched his pockets and
found the key Of the iron box in which
the valuable packages were deposited,
and had no difficulty in possessing
themselves of the whole of them.
The train proceeded toward the
city at more than ordi-
nary rate, and, as usual, upon ap-
preaching the numerous switches near
the junction Of the Great Western and
the Toronto, Grey and Bruce railways,
slackencd speed, when the ruffians who
had committed the outrage jumped
from the car and escaped. Such was
the account given by the two men.
when, upon the train reaching the
Queens Wharf, they were discovered
bound and gagged lying on their backs.
On examination Of the car, it was found
that the bell rope had been cut between
the car, and the engine, which must have
been done by the four men on the plat
form before entering the car, thus eff.
fectually preventing any alarm being
given by the engine driver by the ex-
pressman or baggageman, even if they
had not been so speedily overpowered.
The place at which the miscreants
alighted was near the barracks, place
which would afford them good oppor-
tunity to escape.
The amount stolen is variously esti-
mated at from sec, 200 to 5000. 900, but
from careful inquiries it is prooabie
that the total will be something short
Of $l50,O00. q = - . 80

SyTHO CHECkaiiTED.

The Eesley dodge WAS referred TO the
Judiciary Committee of the Senate by
Su,ro's own motion-Jere. Black ap-
pear:ns before the Mining Committee as
his attorney, and demanding the refer
ence indicated. After due consideration
tha. committee, through their chairman,
Senator Edmunds OF Vermont. report
the bill back to the Senate and recon-
mend its indefinite postponement- That
Recommendation was unanimous. The
Judiciary Committee is composed as
follows: Edmunds, of Vermont, Repub-
lican, (ehairnan;l ConklinS, of New
York, Republican: Carpenter, of Wis
consin, Republican; FrelinShuysen, of
New York, Republican; Wright. of Iowa,
independent; Thurman, of Ohio, Dem
ocrat, and Stevenson, of Kentucky,
Democrat The unanimous opinion OF
these seven Senators, selected for their
eminent wisdom, knowledge OF the law
and personal integrity is too weishty to
be disregarded. As We suspected would
be the case. when Sutro, Black Il
Company proceeded to such an extreli-
i;y with their lobbyines as to invade
Senate committee-room and cause the
humiliation of two of its members, and
the final wrestling from the hands OF
that committee a measure which was
clearly and exclusively within its prov
ince. instrusive self-assertion has gone q
step too far. Doubtless all measures
referred to the judiciary Committee OF
the Senate are weighed and valued solely
by the standard of their merits; but 1t
is very evident that the coarse and I'M
pudent tactics and unblushirg effronterv
which constitute Sutro's sole stock-In-
trade are worthless auxiliaries when EN-
ployed III dealing with the committee
within whose keeping is confded the
highest degree of the Senate's dignity
and conservatism That his dangerous
and unjust bill is dead is not TO be
doubted. The Senate never SO lar dis
regards the opinions Of its judiciary
Committee as TO act in opposition to its
unanimous Recommendations. The
mining zen of the Pacific States viii
breathe more freely now that his sil.:ste!
measure has been rejected.

| Hua8ul, like murder and the nlumps,
| will out. The t.ansparentest humbug
| OF latter days IS the Civil Service Re
form. Il was born in hypocrisy and
reared in the house of the demagogue.
We are glad to see this sham and pre-
tense cu4fed about the ears in the man.
Fer indicated in the following report of
! = debate in the House of Representa-
tives over the Civil Appropriation Bill;
Kellogg offered an item appropriating
S2J, 600 to enable the President TO carry
on: the civil service rules.
Lawrence asked Kellogg TO accept al
amendment making it the duty OF the
Civil Service Commissioners to report
to the President plan for recognizing
all the civil service government SO as to
egualize all salaries and as far as prac-
ticable reduce the expenses and increase
the efficiency thereof.
Kellogg declined.
Butler of Massachusetts, attacked the
civil service reform, which he denied
was recommendation of the President
and said it was the scheme of a cabal
composed of Trumbull. Shurz and others
for the purpose of breaking down Grant
in the Presidential campaign of 1872. 1t
passed Congress by the votes of dema-
eogues who were afraid to vote against
it. 1t was q trick of an apostate poll
tician who was killed by his vote on i'm
parchment, and who sought by it to
calvanize himself to life again, but
failed
Cox declared civil service reform a
failure. True reform was honesty and
capacity.
Beck conceded with Cox.
Willard of Vermont quoted the civil
service reform plank in the Philadelphia
platform and appealed to tie Republi-
cans to stand up to it.
Marshall said lie had originally voted
for civil service reform. bu, would no
longer vote to maintain such miserable
and expensive shame and fraud Since
its establishment the crossest frauds
have been perpetrated, and every branch
of civil service is now reekiug with coz
ruption.
The committee rose and Butler OF
Massachusetts, moved to suspend the
rules SO as 10 make an amendment IN
order to cover into the Treasury any
money row Uneypended which has been
appropriated TO civil service reform So
called.
Pending action the House adjourned.

ARMS FOR THE SOUTH.

Learning that arms in considerable
quantities were being shipped South
from the Great Western Gun Works,
in this city, Telegraph reporter
called at that establishment this morn
ing for further Information. Mr.. j. III.
johnson, the proprietor, said he had
been getting orders for about six weeks
past. The trouble seemed to have
commenced down there about the
middle of August. The arms, mostly
muskets, We're sent principally to the
States of South Carolina, Alabama and
! mississippi. In small towns they gen.
orally ordered from fifty to seventy-five
guns to lot. They seemed to be
organizing in companies. The guns
are some that Mr.. Johnson bought up
shortly after the war very cheaply, and
is selling them at very low rates. Most
of them are furnished with bayonets-
generally with those long, villainous
looking blades known as the sabre
bayoncts.
"In ordering them through the mail"
asked the reporter, s'is it ever intimated
what is the object in ordering such
large quantities :'' "No," replied Mfr.
Johnson, "eXccpt in ono letter, in which
the writer said they expected some
trouble down there, and they We're
gong 10 prepare iOf II. MY impress
sions are, however, that they fear an
uprising of the Blacks"
"Do they order many small arms ?'
asked the reporter. Mr.. johnson
"Nlost of the orders arc confined to the
musl>ets. However, occasionally, they
wan Il few navy revofvers."
Reporter--ssDoyo you send ammunition
South also?' Mr.. Johnston---"Nes;
and it's very evident they mean bust
ness, for they generally order cartridges
for the muskets. l recently received
an offer for Is 900 rounds OF cartridges"
Mr.. Johnston stated that occasionally
he received orders for II better class of
arms than the common muskets. AS
for instance, he recently filled an order
for seventy-fve breech-foading rifles.
1t occurred to the reporter that per-
haps the authorities might interfere
with the traffic, and as much was
intinlated TO Mr.. Johnston. TO this
he answered that there was no martial
law in force, and he didn't sec how the
authorities were to interfere. The
guns were his, and he thought he had
Il perfect right to sell them. He had
sold, in all, from 500 to 1000 muskets,
and he expected to sell all he had on
hand. He now has orders for several
hundred guns, and additional orders
arc coming in.-IHtSd,vy Ieicy'Wph.

OLD TIMBER

Probably the oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to the
Of use man is that found in the ancient
temples of Egypt in connection with
the stone work, which is known to be
at least four thousand years old. This,
the only wood used in the construction
ofthc temple, is in the form of ties, hold
ing the end of one stone to another to
its upper surface. When two blocks
we're laid in place, an excavation about
an inch deep was made in each block,
into which II tic shaped like an
hourglnss was driven. 1t is therefore
very difficult to force any stone from
its position. The ties appear to have
been of the tamurisk or shittem wood
of which the ark was constructed, II
sacred tree in ancient Egypt, and now
very rarely found i'll the valley Of the
Nile. The dovctail"d tics are just rs
sound now rs on the day of their
insertion. Although fuel is extremely
scarce in the country, these bits OF
wood are not large enough to make
il an object with the Arabs to hcavc
Off layer after layer of heavy stone to
obtain them. Had they been ofbronzr,
half of the old temples would haV"
been destroyed years ago, s" precious
would they have been for various
purposes.
