A Defaulting State Treasurer.

New Jersey has turned up the latest
Official defaulter, and the case is one of
unusual aggravation, and apparently
without the least extenuating circum-
stances. Josephus Sooy, the State Treas
urer, who has held the responsible Office
for seven years, is the rascal, and a par
tial examination of his books shows thus
far a deficit of $4,000. Sooy dis
appeared before a warrant for his alreAt
could be served, but was tracked to
Philadelphia and captured in q house
OF ill-fame. 1t is said that he has spent
the greater part of the stolen money in
presents of jewelry, ETC., to women who
have made fool of him. Sooy, until
lately, had good character for integrity,
and SO great was the confidence in him
that last year he was allowed to serve
without bondsmen, and this year he Sc
cured upon his bond the names of gen
tlemen representing many millions. Upon
his representation that the State was in
need of it, the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company recently advanced him $50, 900
of taxes not yet due by them, and will
very likely have to stand the loss.
Sooy's operations seem to have b&n
carried on with the grossest abuse of con
fidence. 1t is difficult to suggest pun
ishment too severe for such despicable
villiany.

The grain markets have attracted consider
able attention from spectators and operators
generally, and quite an extensive business was
transacted. Values have been somewhat ir-
regular on the whole range, but the closing
quotations show some improvement on wheat
and oats, although the fine weather for the
growing crop prevents amy material advance
ment or permanent Improvement in the corn
market The September shorts have been
making provision for their contracts and at
the close of the trading had settled mainly III
the October option. The receipts of all kinds
of grain except corn are increasing, while the
shipments were somewhat larger, especially Of
corn. The bulk of shipments of the latter
were of corn received on matured or maturing
contracts Of options and forwarded by the re-
oeiver. The demand from August shorts forced
wheat up to 51.1715 early in the week, but the
market closed easier under less activity in the
demand. Oats were fairly active on specula-
tive account. Rye and barley, quiet.

at the opening and close of the past week.

The wonderful nerve and cunning dis
played by the two young girls, Nettie

aged IA, in their partially successful at
tempt to commit suicide in Belchertown,
Mass, last week, invest the sad tragedy
with "A romantic interest. The two girls
We're pretty, intelligent, and of excellent
families. Miss Barrett was sent to Bel
chertown by her mother, who lives at
South Amherst, TO continue her educa-
ton, and was to have been baptized on
Sunday in the church which witnessed
her burial. Miss Bridgman, who had
been her companionn, was the adopted
daughter of Mr.. Calvin Bridgman. They
had been reproved by their guardians
for keeping late hours, and on Thursday
evening they stole out of the house of
Mr.. Daniel Packard, where they board
ed, and having procured some morphine,
they returned TO theirroom. Early Fri
day morning n neighbor called mt the
house saying that Miss Blidgman had
taken a fearful farewell. Mrs. Packard
went Immediately to the room occupied
one in deadly stupor, and the other
writhing in terrible agony. The bed
was covered with candy, and
Mics Bridgmsn explained that they
had overeaten OF this. Efforts
were made to rouse Miss Barrett, who
refused to take any thing but cold water,
and said: "Now, go away want to
sleep" When Mrs. Packard had left
the room for help Miss Bridgman hailed
a little girl and threw down note adj
dressed to the druggist asking him to
be so kind as to send her five cents
worth of chloroform. She threw down
also two letters directed to two young
men whom they had been flirting with,
bidding them farewell, and asking them
to act us her bearers. Then followed an
exciting scene in the little bedroom.
Poor Nettie Barrett was dying Miss
Bridgman confessed that they had taken
the morphine, that the candy was only
ruse, that there had been scandalous
stories i'll the town about them, and that
she did not wish ever to see her parents
again, and hoped to die. She quietly
watched her dying companion and wait
ed for the chloroform. With the death
OF Miss Barrett, however, came the de
sire to live, and Miss Bridgman request
ed an emetic. Only five hours before
they entered the little bedroom they
gayly played croquet with some young
people, holding in their hands the candy
which they were to sprinkle on the bed.
Miss Bridgman wrote what she thought
was her last letter TO her father in affec-
tomato yet determined words. She
would meet her parents in world where
there We're no scandalous tongues and
where they could live in peace. Miss
Bridgeman is thought to be in fair way
to recover. Boston Post.

Tragic Mistake..A Father Kills His Son

The Indianapolis papers give the par
ticulars of a horrible shooting affair
which recently occurred at Waverly,
Ind, in which Jonathan Trusty shot and
instantly killed his son, a boy about Is
years of age. The circumstances we're
as follows: 1t is charged that man
named Peterson, in this city, went to
Waverly some time ago, and decoyed
away daughter of Trusty and took her
to the city. The girl was but II years of
age, and the father determined to have
his daughter return to her homo. He
came to indianapolis last Sunday, and
after n lengthy search succeeded in find
ing the girl, and Oh Monday evening re-
turned with her to Waverly. Peterson,
upon learning that his victim had been
wrested from his grasp, Immediately
pursued the parent and child, and ar
rived in Waverly but short time after
them. Peterson began making threats
as TO what he would do to Trusty, and,
the latter becoming enraged, expressed
his determination to kill Peterson, where
upon the son of Trusty rushed forward
to his father for the purpose of pacifying
and prohibiting him from shooting. 1t
all occurred in the dark, and Trusty,
supposing his son to be Peterson coming
upon him, shot and instantly killed his
boy. The weapon used was a shotgun,
and the load of some twenty large sized
shot entered the left breast OF the victim,
making q horrible wound. The shoot
ing of the boy was purely accidental,
and, when Trusty was informed that he
had killed his son, he was completely
crazed, and his wailing in the night was
most pitiable. Peterson made good his
escape, and left the dishonored family to
mourn over the sad affair.

The Indian Peace Policy TO be Adam
dOned.

A Washington correspondent says the
statement is made upon high authority
that the forthcoming message of Presi-
dent Grant to Congress will contain a
most urgent recommendation that the
Indian service be turned over to the man
agement of the War Department. This
is accepted as an evidence that the Pres
ident has finally become convinced that
at least some of the frauds charged upon
the present management of the Indian
service have a foundation of fact. The
President has always been i'll favor Of
having the control of the Indians vested
in the War Department, but has had a
desire to give the peace policy people a
fair opportunity to demonstrate their
peculiar fitness for the work, and now
that they have failed so miserably, he
will use all his influence to secure the
adoption of the system which he is con-
WINGED is the better one.

market during the week just past. and transac-
tons were generally made at shade better

A NEW steam-engine for street rail
roads has been introduced in Lon don
1t is entirely inclosed, and presents the.
appearance of small street-car. The
advantages claimed for this new pattern
are a saving of $500 per annum in the
working expences of each car; an in
crease of speed when desirable; more
perfect control for stopping and starting
than at present; and that at each termi-
nus it can be disconnected and brought
to the front of the car in less time than
that taken by horses. The trials were
considered very satisfactory. This en-
CINE is to be brought into use immedi-
ately in Paris also.

TRAVIS COUNTY AND AUSTIN PUB
Lie SCHOOLS.

The scholastic population Of this county
is 14i4, .an equal number Of whites and
blacks. The cost of teaching these white
children, at the rate of three dollars per
month, for four months, is 1882. Thseost
Of the negro children's training, for the
same period, is $5624. The difference in
cost is accounted for by the fact that
the negroes generally pursue the pr
mary course Of studies. The whole cost Of
the schools for four months would be
$14, 156. To meet this expenditure there is
nov an available fund belonging to the dis
trict of $sssO.64, leaving a balance of
SO, 276 to be raised by a special tax Of
twenty-five cents per hundred dollars upon
the 81, 34S, 75S in Travis county. There is
no fund that Gamble used TO pay rent or for
fuel or other incidental costs of schools
The city has already paid this year school
tax of one-fourth Of one per cent, and an
other equal tax could hardly be borne.
Since all pupils applying for enrolment
must, by law, be provided for, and this is
wholly impossible, and since there is no
funds that can be used In renting houses,
the postpOnement of the opening of free
schools is an imperative necessity. For the
facts above stated, we are indebted to an
exhaustive paper on this subject prepared
for publication by the earnest and able

TnE CONVENTION.

Under the head OF Communicated -

must again and again express our convic-

paramount Importance, still We are not
prepared, with tbe lights just now before

heretofore done, to provide, at least with
out some delay, for such 4 convention. It is
needless to say, that the motive which drives
Us, and we desire TO place emphasis on the
expression, to this conclusion, is one Of
patriotism, one Of pure love for our noble
State. to which and to whose people years
Of association have endeared Us. Our feel
ings upon the question in the abstract are
a. they have been, bat the late message Of
President Grant leaves US bat one conclusion,
lhas heand the power which backs him is

Arkansas, bat even fair Texas. We are
firmly convinced that he viii interfere in
