Astounding Robbery.

WASHINGTON, June 3.-There is
intense excitement in the Treasury
Department in consequence of the
discovery yesterday of the theft of a
package containing SAT 500 in $500
bills. Treasurer Spinner called on
Chief Washburn, of the secret SER
vice, and had all the clerks and 9th
er employees examined. No trace of
the thief OF the package has yet been
discovered, though Mr.. Washburn
is confident of securing both.
Gen. Spinner is very much depress-
ed in consequence of losing such
large sum, particularly at this time
when he is preparing his accounts to
then over to his successor. The en-
tire Treasury detective force are on
duty aididg in the search.

KEYSER CITY.

Improvements 0fthe Is. ~ O. Railroad
The correspondent of the Balti-
more San, in speaking Of the i'm
provements along the line of the b.
q 0. II. r., says of our growing
young sister town OF Keyser that,
The next and most extensive of
these improvements is at Keyser for
merly New Creek, w. Va, where the
company has purchased nearly one
hundred acres of land for the purpose
OfeStablishing a great central station,
and which it proposes, upon change
of timetable, to make the end of the
second Division. 1t has recently erec-
ted at this point fine brick and stone
station, the lower portion for the ac-
commodation of passengers, and the
upper for the offices of the employees.
1t has also erected an engine-house
of forty-four stalls, similar to the one
at Riverside, and is constructing ma
chine and blacksmith shops capable
of doing the running repairs of the
station. 1T has also just finished ex-
tensive stock-yards, with ample sta
bling for horses, houses for sheep and
pens for cattle and hogs. In the con-
struction Of these yards all the latest
improvements have been adopted in
surfing the convenience of the drovers
and stockmen, as well as the cleanli-
ness and comfort of the animals.
Owing to the present and prospect
i've growth of the company's business,
its managers, foreseeing that its ter
minal facilities at Washington and
Baltimore, while large and convent
emily arranged, would at no distant
day be taxed to their utmost capaci-
ty, have decided to relieve these two
points by the establishment of a great
drill-yard at Keyser, where cars from
all parts of the West, as well as the
coal regions, would he made up into
trains for the different stations and
points of delivery TO which they are
destined, thus obviating the necessi-
ty Of separating the trains and distri-
buting the cars upon their arrival
here. To accomplish this the compa-
ny has just completed two adj
ditional tracks between Piedmont
| tits intersections with the Cumber-
land and Pennsylvania railroad lead
ing into the eoal-fields, and Keyser, to
be devoted exclusively to the coal
traffic, thereby securing four tracks
between these important points.
The great drilling ground at Key
ser will be more than one mile long,
and wide enough to accommodate
fourteen side tracks its entire length,
and here trains will be made up for
direct delivery to all points east and
west. This arrangement is designed
to prove of great advantage to the
company rs well as to its patrons, in
creasing the promptness and dis
patch with which goods will reach
their destination.

PLEASANT EVENINGS.

An agreeable popularity of this
season must have been noticed, that
is, that whilst the days are sultry,
the nights are cool and enjoyable
We must have warm days if we ex-
pect anything to grow and ripen, but
hot nights are real grievances. The
night time is for rest and recupera-
ton, and oppressively warm nights
leave one in an unfit condition for
the labors of the day. Weare having
delightful evenings. They are mark
ed by refreshing breeze, and are
conducive to healthful slumber.- -
Those fortunate enough to have
a retreat in the country, can enjoy
at least three OF four hours in the
open air after working hours, and
they get thus fresh lease of life
and strength for the heat and toll of
the morrow. If this condition of
things lasts through the summer, the
temptation to go off to the watering
places will be materially abridged
1t is not the heat of the day which
drives so many people from cities in
the summer, but the eXhausting
nights which complete the days work
in facilitating and finally prostrating
Even at the summer resorts, exposure
to the sun is not the fashion the sun
shines as hot there as elsewhere. The
tonic and restorative at such places
are found in the cool nights and
sound repose. Give us these at home,
and home is preferable to the Attain
tic or the Adriondacks. Thus far the
indications are favorable.

THE CHOPS.

The New York Times has, within
the past two weeks, spent a great deal
of labor and money in securing re-
ports of the condition of the crops in
the various States. While these re-
ports show signs of q falling off in
the cereals in some of the localities
heard from, good majority of them
pronounce the wheat and fruits in
excellent condition and the prospects
good for an abundant yield. That our
own county will beshort in its growth
Of wheat, there is little question but
it is gratifying to know that such is
not the case all over the country We
learn from gentleman, who has re-
Gently travelled through lower Vir-
ginia, the Eastern Shore Of Maryland
and Delaware, that crops in these To-
-calities are very favorable. In lower
Virginia the wheat crop promises to
be abundant, and in Delaware and
ON the Eastern Shore Of Maryland
the wheat is good, and the fruit crop
is expected to be larger than for
years.

The food supplied to the prisoners
has always been sufficient, sub

could be done, ventilation has been
secured ia the rooms, and the walls

Committee have found nothing to
censure in the government of the
Jail and the performance Of the
Jailor's duties.
This brief statement comprises
all the facts that it is deemed nee
essary to report formally to the
Court; but your Committee cannot
consider that their duty ends here.
They feel bound to add that in
their judgement the jail of Berke-
ley county is insufficient, and falls
in every respect far short ofthe re-
quirements of the law. 1t is GER
tainly not " secure, sufficient for
those who may be confined there
in, and such that criminals may be
Kept in apartments separate from
each other and the other prison
ers." Nor is "every apartment SO
conducted that it can be kept COM
fortable.o These requirements of
the Code, which the oath taken by
the committee brought particular
ly to their knowledge, ARE not met,
and cannot be met by the existing
Jail or any changes or improve
ments of which it is susceptible
With the most faithful purpose to
do his whole duty as prescribed by
law, the jailor cannot afford to the
prisoners the accommodations
which the law of the land prescribe
and every dictate ofhumanity sug-
gests.
In conclusion the committee will
state that they gave particular at
tention to the question of the health
of the prisoners. They found that
when sick they received proper
medical attention and We're well
cared for; but in the judgementof
the committee, based upon their
own observation and the state
ments of physicians, the jail is un-
healthy, cannot be properly venti-
lated, and contains within itself
sources of disease and possibly pes
thence, which no care, and they
believe no alteration, however cost
ly and extensive, can wholly era-
dictate.
1t not being part of their duty
to offer any suggestion as to what
should be done to make the pro-
visions for the confinement of pris-
oners in this county conform to
the requirements of the law, the
committee respectfully submit the

THE SCAND1L.

Mr.. Eyarts is wading through with
his speech, the final summing up of
the Beecher trial. lie has not as yet
INDUCED in the invective and denun-
citation which characterized the effort
of Judge Porter, and with reasoning
and thinking, people his speech
islikely to be more effective than that
of mis- colleague. Still it must be APP
parent to all unbiased minds that
neither Porter or Evarts have met
fairly the real issue in the case
Their arguments partake too much
of the character of special pleading,
and while it may have the effect to
sway the jury in favor of a verdict of
acquittal, it can have no such effect
upon the verdict of the public, which
is also setting in judgment in this
great case. The jury of the public
are not subjected to the influences
which are brought to bear upon the
chosen jury i'll the case.> They will
decide the question of the innocence
or guilt Of Mr.. Beecher in the light
OF reason and common sense, as fur
nished by the stubborn facts elected
in the testimony. The effort of Mr..
Beecher's counsel seems to be devot-
ed entirely to blackening the charac-
tiers of Tilton, Moulton and the wit
nesses for the plaintiff, while no spe-
cial effort is made to explain away
the damaging evidence of Beecher
against himself, found in his various
letters and conversations. Mr.. Porter
and Evarts have painted Tilton and
Moulton as the yeriest scoundrels
Imhung, and while they claim uner-
ring truthfulness for everything Civ
en- in evidence by the witnesses for
the defense, they characterize as the
most stupendous lies everything tes-
titled by the witnesses for the plain
tiff, without producing either logic
or facts to sustain such an assertion.
But, admitting that Tilton and
Moulton are the immoral and schem-
ing scoundrels represented by Mr..
Beecher's counsel, does it not look a
little bad that Mr.. Beecher should
out of all Brooklyn and Plymouth
church have selected these two men
as his special friends, companions
and confidants? If man is to be
judged by the company he keeps, the
blacker Tilton and Moulton are made
to appear, the worse it looks for Bee
cher. He cannot escape the conclu-
sion; and if innocent dogs are some
times destroyed by being caught in
the company of sheep-killing ours,
Beechor ought not expect to escape
thehonest but adverse judgment of an
unbiased public, because of his low
and immoral associations. 1t was
not just the place for the greatest
preacher of the age and a teacher of
morals to occupy. Precept with such
an example, amounts to mockery.
