THE PROVOCATION FOR THE SHOOTING.
The particulars of the shooting at Vine
land, n. j., on Friday last, of Uri Carruth
editor OF the Independent, by Charles h.
lands, the founder OF Nineland, have
already been published. The annexed state
ment is furnished by Lands rs the provoca-
tion:
"As long as Carruth confined his attacks
to me felt like general in battle, who
knows that If he can stand pounding he will
tire out the enemy; and ] knew that if could
Lot outlive his scurrility did not desire TO
succeed; but when he began TO attack my
wife and children il was a far different mat
ter. Not only was IL nv duty to protect
them at all hazards, but my wife is of a very
eXcitable nature; insanity is in her blood,
and these illusions TO her actually drove her
mad. Copies of these articles were thrust
under theNOOr or thrown into the window,
spite of all precautions, and she finally be-
came so violent that she was dangerous, and
i had often to call the servants to help me
hold her On the day before Carruth's last
article appeared urged Dr. Lane to give her
anodyne. She talked continually of the arti-
Giles in the Independent. She was enciente,
and there was certainty, this the doctor
assured her, that her reason would be per-
manently OverthrOwn unless the excitement
was removed He said that If he gave her
an opiate it would endanger life, and the only
remedy was to remove the exciting cause.
She had often been insane for week at
time after slanderous article in the indie
pendent On the morning OF the shooting l
went to my office early, leaving her a little
quieter than she had been. At halfpast 9,
returned home and found her in state of
violent and dangerous excitement, with the
slip from the Independent in her hand. Some
one had sent it to her. do not know who;
never could keep them out of the house; she
showed 1T TO me. / saw her condition. re-
membered the doctors words. / knew the
danger to her reason and her life. / saw the
folly of the efforts had made for years to
keep these articles from her knowledge
became desperate, and the assault on Car
ruth speedily followed"
For the past two or three years Mr.. Lands,
through his Weekly, and Mr.Carruth through
the Independent. have been engaged in a bit
ter warfare. and personalities were vigor-
ously INDUCED in.
CARRUTH'S CONDITION.
A dispatch from Vineland last night says:
Mr.. Carruth's sleep was more broken and
restless than last night, pulse 56, natural, no
pain except a little throbbing in the wound,
appetite good, skin soft, with a little perspi-
ration at times. His family physician feels
encouraged with the progress his patient has
made. Carruth has not been raised from a
horizontal position, and is yet in a very
critical condition, notwithstanding all fav-
Orable symptoms.

ROBBERY AT THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK
IN BALTIMOEE.-Yesterd a bold robbery
of 81 900 took place at the First National
Bank, on South Gay street, near Baltimore.
under the following circumstances:-Abo bout
245 p. m. Mr. Whitcraft, clerk of the North
ern Central railroad company, went to the
bank TO make deposit of s., 900 in bonds and
checks, and also to draw - 900 in currency.
The money paid him by the teller consisted
of two packages of 81 900 each and s. 600 in
loose notes. He placed the money on the rail-
ing in front of the aperture, behind which the
of the packages of thousand dollars, then
the loose money, and on top the other pack
age of a thousand dollars. At this moment
man TO his right showed him a check and
asked him if he knew the party whose name
was attached TO the check, and was answered
in the negative, and Mr.. Whitcraft then pro-
ceeded TO place his money in his bank book,
and found that the top package of a thousand
dollars had disappeared, and on turning
round he discovered that the man to his
right, together with man who stood a hi s
back, and a third man who stood at his left.
had left the bank. He proceeded to the street,
but they were not in sight, and the inference
is that when his attention was called to the
check by the party to his right, the party to
his left seized the package ofa thousand dol
lars, and the trio made Off together. The DO
lice authorities were notified, and every eXer-
tion is being made for the detection of the
robbers, but the task is difficult one as no
ore noticed the men particularly, and Mr.
WhitcraIr c1ui;, give no description Of them.

The Cumberland Md papers indicate that
there is considerable feeling just now in that
region in regard 10 the management OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio canal, as 10 affects the
prospects OF the coal trade and resumption
OF business on the canal. The railroads have
reduced the freight on coal twenty-five cents
per ton, and ~ appears the canal managers
propose a reduction of eight cents on toll amt
wharfage. which is not regarded as sufficient,
and the prospect is not deemed good for the
coming season.
The Cumberland Ne1cs saws The cleaning
out and necessary repairs of the canal haN-
ing been completed. water was let in all the
levels ON Saturday last, and il is announced
that the canal will lie ready Tor navigation
on Thursday. on which day also Collector
Weber, OF this port. has been directed 20 tie
prepared To issue way bills. We are in
formed, however, that the Cumberland di-
vision will not have been filled with water
before Monday next. It in doubtful 10 even
at that date any shipments will be mate.
A News reporter visited a number OF agents
OF the different coal companies at this city
for the purpose Ofascertatning what arrange
ments had been made for the opening OF the
shipping season. The reporter was informed
that nothing had been done, owing 70 the
unsettled state of Affairs, but that no ship
