RistOri's Stolen Diamonds.

The st. Louis Republican saws: While thu
Ristori troupe were on the way from Indian.
apolis to st. Louis, ou last Saturday night,
they were robbed of five beautiful solitaire
diamonds, two of which we're sleeve buttons
and three were shirt studs. The jewels dis.
appeared while they we're in the sleeping car.
and all efforts to discover any trace of them
were Intellectual The troupe gave them up
as lost, and probably never expected to hear
from them again. Yesterday afternoon De.
tectives O'Neill and Stiles, by some means,
the nature of which may never be known to
ye stupid citizens, obtained information that
there was q negro in town who was attempt
ing to sell valuable diamonds.
They Immediately laid themselves out to
bring that man down. After much tramping
and watching they collared him on the corner
Of Third street and Washington Avenue and
on searching him found that he had the dia-
monds yet in his possession. The fellow first
explained that he had won the beauties while
gambling in New York. This stuck in the
detectives threats, and refused to 20 down.
He then said that . friend Of his in Cheyenne
had given them to him to pawn here. This
statement was likewise disbelieved.
He finally stated that he was porter of the
car on the Vandalia road in which the Ristori
troupe came to this city, and that he seized
upon an opportunity to make away with the
gems. This seemed more probable, and
although the detectives had not been notified
Of the loss by the troupe. they accepted the
statement as the true one While they were
taking the fellow, who, by the way, is quite
intelligent down stairs to the calaboose at the
Four Courts, he offered to give them $500
apiece if they would give him an opportunity
to escape. but he is still locked up. The
diamonds, which are worth about $4,000, are
ct the Four Courts, and Ristor has been tele-
graphed in regard to the capture

Especial Diepatch to the Chicago Tribune.]
WARRINGTON, June 3.-The robbery of SAT-.
800 from the vaults Of the Treasury, in broad
daylight, it appears to be conceded, must have
been done by some one OF four persons. ~hese
nxe the officials who have Immediately % do
With the handling, sealing and ship ping Of
che money. The space in which they work
= about ten by twenty feet. They are in a
large. open room, in which are twenty-six
odicials constantly at work.
One side Of this room is open to the pub
lie, and round the upper part Of il gallery
runs, from which strangers q. all hours Can
look down upon the operations of the CASH
room. The shipping OF the money consists,
after 1t is sealed, in removing it by drop
Immediately contiguous to the place where it
u sealed, one story down TO the Office of the
agent OF the Adams Express Company.
This immense sum Of money was in 90 small
compass that 1t was contained in common
bank envelope, and could easily have been
carried IN an inside pocket. Il disappeared
nom the time 1t WAS sealed to the time the
express agent In the story below checked off

elevator.
The four gentlemen Who. are suspected are
men whose characters have been above suspi-

the money cannot be recovered, General
Spinner, the outgoing Treasurer. is irresponsible

The Seizures Here aud at Iowa CITY
suit fOr Forfeiture of seventy.
Four barrels of spirits

Shortly after the seizure of the dis
tillcry and liquors of the Rindskopi
Bros. in Milwaukee, it will be remcm-
bered, it was ascertained that some OF
the liquor on which no tax had been
paid, but which had been stamped &C.
cording to the fraudulent method
adopted by that firm, had been shipped
to dealers in this city before General
Hedrick, Supervisor of Internal Revc-
nue. for this State, lighted on tho Mil
waukeo establishment. In accord.
ancc with instructions from Gen. He'd.
rick, Deputy Collector Thompson
seized this whisky in the houses here.
He found Is barrels at the store of III.
Voss, on Second street, and Ia barrels
of it at Haase s. Beiderfeldt's, on Har.
rison street-as was mentioned in the
Gazette at the time-and took posses
sion of them. John Xanton, dealer at
Iowa City, had also been victim in
trading with tho Rindskopfs, and
forty.four barrels were seized at bis
place. Neither of these parties tho'i
they were purchasing goods of Illicit
make-and that's where tho Rinds-
kop's made their money.
Tho whisky has been held by Dep
uty Thompson ever since.
And now Hon. Jas. Il. Lane,
United States District Attorney, has
just entered suits in favor of the
United States to procure forfeit Of all
the packages of whisky mentioned

position to contest the claim of the
government, as the evidence agains,
the whisky found in the books Of the
Rindskopfs, and gathered from other
sources, is of very positive kind

This is what the Alb, Union thinks

This is what the Altii Union thinks
OF the hanging Of John Scott Smith:
"What subject fer the sicsly sentimen-
talism which abolishes legal capital pun-
isliment, was su;h man as this! The
sequel demonstrated that the abolition OF
the death penalty is ono of the laws that
cannot DO enforced--one that even the
usually law-abiding citizens OF Iowa will
not submit TO. We think that those de-
tcrmined citizens of Ottumwa, who in the
bright light of a noon-day sun, without a
mask or any other sign that they were
ashamed of their proceeding, did wrong to
take the law into their own hands and put
to death even such man as Smith. 1t
would have been more noble in them to
maintain the dignity Of State authority and
let the law take its course though the pun
ishmcnt mcted out thereby to this desperate
man should not be commensurate with his
crime but they did just what almost any
other community in the State would have
done under similar circumstances, in the
absence Of law iullicting capital punisl.-
mont upon such offenders.
1t is becoming very evident that the
penitentiary under sentence of imprison-
mcnt either for life or a term of years. has
in il little terror for such men as Smith
and therefore little tendency to prevent
crime. Capital punishment alone has any
terror for such and the people are generally
becoming convinced that its tcrrors would
save the lives of several good citizens in our
State every year. Hence they will send
men to the Legislature who will restore the
penalty to its place upon our Statute books.

Variable as the shifting winds, his life
has been constant equinoctial season,

Even 80 would men flee from any con-
tinued association with this man.
Contrary 10 the usual answer, as to
what is the chief end of man, Fitz
Henry Warren has spent his life thus
far, chiefly in paying of those whom
he fancied had wronged him, with his
keen caustic abusc and dcadliest
blows. His brilliant, keen aud finish

THE OR0Ra.


Three weeks heavy rains appear
now to have ceased. The flood has
bsen terribly severe upon the crop
prospects. The spring, though late,
gave through the month Of May and
up to the middle OF juno the best
Of promise Of . heavy crop, the farm
srs were jubilant, but the flood of three
weeks past has put an entire different
phase upon things. Good weather
now will, OF course, retrieve much, but
It cannot 20 redeem the corn crop as
to prevent loss Of about one-half the
crop 10 this county. On the level
prairie most all the corn is damaged
past recovery. Wheat has been seri-
ously damaged; oats II there be no
high wind to blow down the immense
growth of straw will probably be q
fair crop. The potato crop with fair
weather ought to be good. Grass has
thiskened mp and will be fair crop.
The food scourge Of the past three
weeks has been one of the severest
drawbacks upon this section Of the
country that We have experienced for
years, We are confident, however,
with good weather which promises so
well, much Of the gloomy appearance
now prevailing will pass away though
great damage must unavoidsbly fol-
low.

INDIANA.

TERRE HAUTE, July 9.-Long Point,
a station on the Vandalia Railroad,
three miles west of Casey, Illinois, is
the place where all trains on the road
usually stop for water. II is lone
some place, situated in the woods,
with no one living within a mile and
= half, it has long been considered by
Railroad men as q dangerous place.
Several times lately the engineers have
seen suspicious persons lurking about
there at night and have run by With
ont stopping for water. Last night
at midnight as train No. 5, East
bound, conductor Fraley and engineer
Milo Ames came up to Long Point for
water two men boarded the locomo-
tive. They ordered the engineer to
pull out which he said he would do,
when they said they would run tho
thing and both fired killing the engi-
neer instantly. The tircmen reused
the train men. During these proceed
ings q aconfederate had released Adams
Express car and they run the engine
about two miles east and stopped
They then tried to gain access to the
car, bnt the messenger avowed his in
tention of shooting them If they en-
tered when they commenced firing
into the car. Burke the messen-
ger said they seemed to fire from all
sides. Tho train men soon came mp,
but the robbers had fled. The
engineer was found dead. The en-
gine was then run back to the
train. The robbers had failed to gain
entrance to the car, It being one of the
closed kind. Had they detached the
American Express car they would
have been able to enter it. Tho train
men speak in fattering terms of the
bravery of the messenger Burke. There
fs intense feeling about the death
Of Engineer Ames, and should the
villains be caught its believed they
would be lynched. Ames was one of
the best engineers on the road, about
35 years old, and had been married
but short time. Several suspicious
persons are already under arrest, and
every effort will be made to secure the
robbers.

She Wasn't { a Candidate

Some of our worthy colored breth-
rem of the Baptist persuasion had q
baptism down at the creek last Sun
day, and the ceremony attracted a very
largo crowd OF persons. Mrs. Pitman's .
colored servant was very anxious to
be present, and as it was not her Sun
day out, she slipped away from the
house while the dinner was cooking,
and went around in her working
clothes. Her interest was so intense
that she stood close to the minister,
who was in the water, while the cere-
mony proceeded. After six or seven
had bcen dipped, the clergyman, filed
with enthusiasm, seized her and pulled
her into the water. She resisted, but
the minister imagined that she was
merely afraid of the coldness of the
water, so before she could explain the
situation he sonsed her. She camo up
spluttering, and exclaimed:
"What you doin'? Lemme 60, /
tell you"
But he exerted his strength, and sent
her "ker.chuck" below the surface
again. She emerged clawing the air
wildly and shouting:
"G'way from here! Don't You chuck
me under again, you nigger!"
But tho clergyman was inexorablc,
and he plunged her under third time,
and held her there for minute, 90 %
to lot it soak in and do her good
Then she came up and struck for the
shore, aud standing there, looking like
a draggled mermaid cut in ebony, she
shook her fist at tho astonished pastor,
and shricked:
80, I'll fix you! I'll bust de head
often you, you or'nary trash! sousin'
me in dat dare creek and nearly
drownden me, when you knowed well
enough all de time dat Pse Metho-
dist, and been chrissened by dem dAt'a
yer betters, and knows more about re-
ligion dan all de Baptisses dat ever
shouted, you mis'able black scum and
mo got the rheumatic enough 10 set
me crazy! o. I'll see what do law can
do for you! I'll have you rested this
very day, or my names not johanna
johnson, you woolly-hcaded herrin'
You hear me?"
Then Johanna went homo to re-
dress, and the ceremony proceeded
Miss johnson is now persuaded that
the Baptists are not any better than
Pagans.-NeW York Weekly.
