LOCAL MATTERS.

RocKErTs OLD FIELD AT PEACE.-Justiee
". Hall Crew (stting for Police.Justire
White, who is absent from the city, yester-
day. with commeudabe patience, heard the
testimony iu the case OF Tobias Eacho and
Mrs. Annie Jordan. charged with violating
the seventh commandment and the laws Of
this Commonwealth. No recent occurrence
in Rockets old field has caused the eensa.
tion that Mrs. Jordan and her lover have
provoked. For many months she lived in
one of Gideon Morris's houses with
her husband, Mr.. Jordan, and her
pane was above suspicion. Then she
and. her husband moved to Baltimore,
and she returned without him. After
being back here short time she was com
pelled to beg food and shelter from Morris.
She. however, soon gained q lodgment
there, and became, with Tobias E .cho, yir.
tual luler of Morris's home. She ate
bis bread, drank his Ihiskey, occu.
pied bis rooms. and permitted her
friends 20 do likewise without even so
much as asking Morris's permission.
Indeed, Morris became completely de-.
moraIized through fear Of Eacho; and big
house, which had before heen peaceful and
quiet, under the rule of Jordan and Eacho be.
not to be mentioned here. The neighbors
could stand it no longer, and Morris, Mrs.
Jordan, and Dir. T. j. Childrey were ar
rested few days ago charged with
keeping a disorderly house. Chidrey
was honorably acquitted. Morris promised
forthwith to remove to Petersburg. Mrs.
Jordan and Eacho were arrested 90 the war
rant which was tried yesterday. Mr.. Chill
drey must bave known good deal about the
doings OF tue man and woman, but be told
the Justice that he was somewhat "ohv.
ated," "tbough not non compos mentiS,"
yet he disclosed very little. Morris
still suffered from dread OF Eacbo's re.
venge, and would reveal nothing. Three
policemen, however, gave testimony which
caused Justice Crew TO send Eucho on to the
grand jury for indictment. Eacho gave bail
in the sum of $500. with B. F. Mckinney
(Who swore that be was worth $1,000 in real
estate independent of oil of his debts) as
surety, and Mckinney and Echo became
sur ties for Mr.. Jordan in the same amount.

SHANGHAI, june 18th.
A dispatch just received says that at
Ching Kiang number of native SOL
diers publicly insulted the American
Consul and his wife. The soldiers
were arrested and confined in the Brit
ish Consulate. A mob of Chinese, en-
ragged at the arrest of the soldiers, COL
lected before the Consulate, and
made an attack for the purpose of
effecting their release. The foreigners at
Ching Kiang defended the Consulate,
and successfully resisted the mob.
Great excitement prevailed, and fears
were entertained of general riot, but
the Chinese authorities finally sue
ceeded in restoring order. British and
American squadrons have left this
port for Ching Kiang to protect the
foreign residents.

SEALS OR SEA LIoNs.-A car load of
seals or sea lions, captured near San
Francisco, passed here last Saturday
night going East. The animals were
ordered for an aquarium in New York
City. They were loaded separately
in well ventilated boxes in an ordinary
stock car, and Conductor Spaulding,
who kindly showed us through the
Car, informed US that they could be
taken across the continent as easily as
SO many hogs. They are watered oc-
casionally on the road, and are ex-
pected to make the trip without food
of any kind.

THE EAGLE MINE.--The difficulties
in which the Oakland Gold and Silver
Mining Company were involved are
being settled, and it is now probable
that work will shortly he resumed by
the company on the Eagle mine. NJ
:. Bonnifeld Is advised by letter from
i. +. Biyins, that Messrs. Parker and
Waters have compromised the differ
ences between the members of the
company at Oakland and bought all
stock offered them, including that
owned by the Trustees, and will organ
ize on q new basis. 1t has been prac:
tically demonstrated that the Eagle
mine will pay, but it has been beset
with lawsuits ever since the mill was
started. Under the management Of
Mr.. Parker the mill was producing bull
lion more than sufficient to pay expen-
ses, and things at the mine were getting
along finely, when operations were
suddenly brought to stand still by
writ of attachment, and the members
of the company, like hauling oxen,
pulled in opposite directions.

IN the gulches near the Eagle mine.
owing to the scarcity of water rockers

usual for the miners to make ten dol
lars day, and all of them average fair
wages.
