Work for the LnMrers.

An interesting trial is on before Judge
Howe, of Sing Sing. Three weeks ago
Mr.. p. G. Van Wick, of Croton, completed
a neat two-story house on what he suppos-
cd was one of his lots in that village But
before he could move into the house Road
Commissioner Thad. Lent told him that
the building encroached three or four feet
on the highway. Mr., Van Wick took a
different view, and Lent, unable to convince
him that his house was on the public do
main, called his workmen, and after night
fall razed the house to the ground. Next
morning Van Wick put on large force of
men, and within ten days the house was
built again on precisely the same spot
The house having been finished, six men
were employed to defend it against any
further attack by Lent's brigade.
Mr. Lent watched the proceedings with
interest and as soon as the house was de-
serted by the builders and the watchmen
had been installed, he appeared with Depu-
ty Sheriff Dunphy and gang of roughs
from Peekskill, and in the name of the
Sheriff of Westchester county, without
showing any authority for so doing they
STAYED the door in with an axe, put the
watchmen to flight, and by Lents order
the posse began to demolish the house.
This was done week ago last Wednes-
day. The day was warm and the mud was
deep. Mr.. Lent, who weighs about three
hundred pounds, was standing with his
back to large mud puddle. Seven Ger
man women with their sleeves rolled up
attacked him ard landed him on his back
in the mud hole. lie sank about foot
and there he stuck fast. He yelled and
screamed and the women belabored him
with boards and mud balls until four of his
workmen rescued Inn. After the mud had
been scraped from the Road Commission
er's back, he waddled homeward, ordering
the destruction of the house to continue
1t was soon torn down and the debris given
to the neghbors for frewOod.
Mr.. Van Wick has begun suits for dam
ages, trespass and malicious mischief
against Deputy Sheriff Dunphy, Thad Lent
and several other men who assisted in the
destruction of his house.

Result OF CircumstantIaI Evidence.

The Milford (Del.,) Netos says that John
Young, colored, an old man who died near
Frcderica, Kent county, last Sunday morn
ing, confessed just before his death, to one
John Madison, colored attendant, that he,
Young, was the man who killed the old
peddlcr, for the murder of whom one Ed
Darnell was convicted and hung few
years ago at Dover. 1t will be remem-
bered that the old peddler's body was
found in mill pond, horribly mangled,
and showing every indication of having
met with foul play. Circumstances pointed
70 tho boy Darnell and "a man named VIII
liam LOpeE who were arraigned. Loper,
succeeding In proving an alibi, was acquit-
ted, and the boy convicted and hung. If
this story is true, and there seems no rea-
son to doubt 1t, il affords another iIlustra-
tion Of the fallibility of circumstantial evil
dence, and the possibility of hanging the
innocent for the guilty.

DIR. Schoeppe Again Heard From.

The Erie Presse, German newspaper
printed in Chicago, publishes long
narrative purporting to give true history
of the career of DR.. Paul Schoeppe, who
attained widespread notoriety some four
yeaIs ago in connection with the death of
Miss Steinnecke, a German lady of Car
Isle, Pa, to whom he was tried, convicted
and sentenced to be hanged subsequently,
through the extraordinary eXertiOns of his
friends and COUNT Iymen, obtaining par
don. The Erie Presse claims to have dis
covered that Schoeppe was forced to leave
Germany on account of having robbed his
patron, a nobleman, of large sums of mon
ey; that his career in America has been n
dishonest one; that since his release from
the Pennsylvania prison he has been living
in various Western cities under the name
of the Count de Schulenberg, and that
while in Chicago he succeeded, by means
of forged checks, in swindling the German
Relief and Aid Society out of $400, but
managed to escape punishment through
the intercession of his father, who, under
the name of Schoepplin, is pastor of a
church in Napie.ville, H., and who pro-
fesscd to know the pseudo counts father
in Germany, and was anxious for his sake
to rescue his son. While in that city, the
pretended Count, subsequent to his arrest
for forgery, enjoyed the acquaintance of
many of the best German citizens, who,
from his appearance and address, had no
reason to doubt his claims. --i
LATER. ra
Baltimore, March 19-Dr. Paul Schoeppe
was arrested in this city to-day on the
charge of being common swindler. Nu-
merous papers, including several railroad
passes were found on his person. all bear
ing the name of J. 0. Schulenberg. The
accused was committed for the action of
the grand jury.

IF congressman would cultivate the
habit Of attending to one thing at the time,
they would find their work very much
smpliied. There are now two very inn
portant subjects under consideration, the
transportation question in the House and
the currency question in the Senate. The
people want both these matters acted on
as soon as possible but we find inter-
spersed though the deliberation upon them
numerous other subjects. Both the Senate
and the House jump from one subject to
another with surprising agility. In the
talk about railroad matters we find enter
ing proposition for an East and West
water route; in the talk about finance the
interloping subjects are too numerous to
mention. There seems to be general de-
sire moi to vote any sooner than possible.
In cases where great doubt exist the hest
tation is commendabe, but all the speeches
which can be made on finance between now
and adjournment will not change the vote
of single senator.

THE Comptroller of the Treasury has

THE Comptroller Of the Treasury has
just completed the report Of the banks of
the United States for the 26th of Decem-
Der, 1873; from which it appears that the
number of banks was increased during the
year to 1876, against 1910 in 1872,
1870 in 1871, I,64S in 1870 and ,6l7 in
1869, and that the capital has increased
from 426 millions in 1859 to 400 millions
at present. The deposits have risen from
511 millions in 1869 to $40 millions in
1873. They were sos millions in 1872.
The decline this year is attributed
to well known causes arising
chiefly out of the panic, and in
debating wholesome check to undue in
fation of credits. The deposits with re-
deemipg agents were reported at sc mill
lions at the outbreak of the panic IN
September, and at only 70 millions on the
Goth of December, the depletion of 80
millions having taken place by very brief
and violent drain. The loans were reported
at 1914 200, 900 in September, and at the
beginning Of November they had sunk to
s777, 900, the whole loaning power of
the banks having thus been diminished
$l66, 100000.

SANTA ANNA is in Mexico. Can't
the old fellow give that country rest ?
The miles he has travelled in going out and
returning to Mexico, ia the course of his
somewhat protracted life, defy COMPETE
ton. General Taylor sent him away and
he returned. The people of Mexico
kicked him out and he crept back. Maxi.
milan welcomed Hmm and Juarez expelled
him. Back again, he was condemned to
death and pardoned on condition that he
would remain in perpetual exile. And now
President Lerdo allows him on Mexican
Soil, upon his promise to behave himself.
He is nearly seventy-seven years old, but
he can no more remain quiet than Vesu.
vius at eruption time. 1t will not be long
before he will again be on an outward
bound voyage or occupying about six feet
of the soil of his native land.

BLooMERs have drawn fine arguments
in behalf of their system, before now,
from the supposable weight of the ordi-
nary clothing Of women; but, according to
writer in the New York World, woman
may be comfortably dressed. from her
collar to her boots, and only carry in
weight about eight and one-half pounds,
while an ordinary hat and wrap bring little
additional circumference, ten pounds being
a very general weight for an entire suit,
and twelve pounds an ample allowance for
heavy one." Where is the arithmetic
man? Let us have things properly investi-
gated.
