In the suit against the Ocean National Bank
the prosecution fails as yet to make good its
promise to connect the officers of that institu-
ton with its robbery. One witness has, in
deed, offered vague, hearsay evidence tending
that way, but it could not, of course, be
admitted. Something more cOgcnt than any
thing yet produced by the prosecution will be
needed to justify its grave charges in the
opening of the case-charges that were quite
inexcusable unless supported by evidence Of
the alleged facts.

The Iowa election being over and the re-
turns of the great Republican triumph all
gathered ill., the canvass for the Senatorship
about to fall vacant is opening. Our Wash
ington dispatch brings us the cheering intelli-
gence that there will be such suficiency Of
candidates that the Office certainly will not go
q begging. A prominent politician just in from
that State reports that Secretary Belknap is
the most prominent candidate, and that it is
believed in the State that the President is for
him; which is considered important. 1t is not
likely that this information comes from the
Secretary himself, as in that case the Cabinet
would have been included. When Secretary
Belknap announces the Presidents views ii is

A downright mutiny in a passenger steam
ship on the Atlantic, described in another col
umn, has no parallel in modern experience.
1t reads like the opening Of a chapter i'll the
Pirates Own Book The captain seems to
have yielded authority to the mutineers
and the passengers who have had
their baggage ransacked and stolen may
perhaps think themselves fortunate that rapine
and murder were not added to the crimes at
tempted by the crew. The men engaged in
this mntiny Will get little sympathy i'll a
British court but if, as is represented, the
vessel was unseaworthy and in danger OF
laundering, the instinct of self-preservation
will be urged In their behalf.

Weekday services more fully test than
those of Sunday the attractive powers OF the
Moody and Sankey meetings. 1t is very I'M
usual event in an American city to gather a
large audience for the consideration of re-
ligious topics during the hours usually de-
voted TO secular affairs. But the morning as
well rs the evening services held yesterday in
Brooklyn wero thronged. The interest that
has been awakened is not confined to the
audiences Of Messrs. Moody and Sankcy; 1t
extends throughout the churches of Brooklyn
and New-YOrk. There is already abundant
prospect that revival will be in full progress
here by the time the Hippodrome in this city
is ready for the labors of the evangelists.

her tired condition once fall behind,

her with the bit she wouldn't re-

to determine, SO let her jump along.
She runs close to the ground and
without any effort. This seemed to
freshen her, and see took hold Of the
bit anew. The driver OF the big
fellow began to be annoyed at my
running, and let fly a few sharp
calculations. All at once it struck
me that my opponents horse was
so big that he hid me pretty we'll

Unprecedented Case of Cruelty.

We have had numerous instances OF
lasting revenge and persecution between
man and man, but we have rarely seen
that disposition exhibited for many years
in the most cruel and persistent way on
the part of man toward dumb beast.
Such q case has TRANSFERRED in Fulton
county, Ill A wealthy farmer Eve give
his name because such q man deserves
to be made famous) named Coleman had
colt which kicked or bit or in some
other way displeased him. He conceived
O. fierce dislike to the animal thereupon,
and invented fendish system of re-
venge He had small covered pen
built and placed the animal in it, never
to come out alive. He fed and watered
it bountifully and watched the result.
For year or more the horse showed no
signs Of suffering from his confinement,
it's hair began to grow thin and fall off,
then it became misshapen, and legs
crooked. It's front hoofs grew eighteen
inches long and turned up so that they
touched his shins Such spectacle did
the horse become that circus proprietor
seeing it, offered 81, 500 for it as GU
riosity, but was refused. Vengeance
against the animal was sweeter than the
money. After ten years Of confinement
the horse died. Thus Coleman was suf-
fered by his neighbors to do this thing
uninterfered with, and it is said they
thought him a pretty good sort Of man,
but the Illinois Humane Society think
differently and have arrested him. He
makes no defense and will be brought to
trial, 50 that he stands a fair show for
punishment. It ought to be adequate.
AS peculiar phase Of human nature,
this circumstance can hardly be ex-

THE GREAT EXPRESS ROBBERY.
About $500, 900 Stolen---How the Job was
Executed.
From the New York Herald

About 100000 Stolen---How the Job was
Executed.
From the New York Herald
Superintendent Walling and the de-
tectives were engaged yesterday in hunt
ing up the details of the recent robbery
committed on the Adams Express Com
pany. Three men, Daniel Hovey, q
driver, John Sweeney, clerk, and James
Drew, said to be implicated in the theft,
are now in confinement at the central
office, and the police are endeavoring to
obtain from them information that will
lead to the recovery of all the property
taken. The robbery is said to have been
committed on Sunday, the Oath ult., and
the amount taken in the neighborhood of
100000. On that day Hovey and
Sweeney went to Jersey City to take
charge Of some safes containing bonds
and money packages that had arrived
there from the country. The express
agent who had accompanied the safes on
the train handed them over to these men.
There were in all nineteen boxes, and
they were supposed to contain packages
Of money and other valuables sent from
the various agencies throughout the
Southern States to the central office in
this city. One of these boxes was placed
in charge of the agent at Richmond, Va,
and he in turn transferred it with the
others to Hovey and Sweeney, and the
supposition is that it was given by them
to the man Drew on the way from Jersey
City to New York, as it was not delivered
at its proper destination with the other
safes. Hovey signed the agents receipt
book at Jersey City for nineteen safes,
and obtained a receipt in his own book at
the office in New York for the same num-
Der, although it was afterward discovered
that he had only delivered eighteen.
He managed to receive the receipt from
Mr.. Sullivan, who was in charge of the
receiving department at the central office,
counting one of the boxes twice over.
In the hurry of business Mr.. Sullivan
did not detect the deception, but was
enabled to throw the immediate RESPONSE
bility from himself. On the following
Monday morning, when it was discov-
cred that the safe from Richmond was
not in the receiving vault, search was
instantly instituted, but no trace of the
missing box could be found. Hovey
stoutly maintained he had delivered it at
the office, and presented his receipt book
in proof of his correctness. The agent
at Jersey City was satisfied he had passed
it over with the others, and so the matter
rested, the case causing the greatest con
sternation and mystery among all those
employed at the Office.
Many exaggerated stories have been
put into circulation about the amount
contained in the lost safe, but it is almost
