The ..Irish GIant'' Shot.

NEW YORK, September 27.-At q
late hour tonight Ned O'Baldwin,
commonly known as the Irish Gil
ant" was shot and it is thought
MORALLY wounded by his partner,
Michael Finnell. From what could
be learned of the affair it appears
that the two men, who kept a liquor
store at No. 1875 West street, became
engaged in a quarrel about their
business, when angry words ensued,
and Finnell shot the other twice,
after which he made good his escape,
and up to a late hour the police had
been utterly unable to find any clue
to his whereabouts.
DEATH OF THE 'IRIsH GIANT"
New YORK, September 29.-Ed-

O'Clock this morning at No. ia

expired he asked if the police had
captured Fiunell, and upon being told
that they had not, be said, well,

BEECHER-TILT0N.

The Beecher-Tilton nastiness is not
over vet by a long ways. 1t will be
remembered that at the beginning
| of the muss Beeeher procured ar in
dictment AGAINST Frank Moulton,
Tilton's friend, for libel in charging
that the said Beecher had been gull
ty of adultery with Tilten's wife.
This indictment still hangs over
Moulton. Yesterday, Britton, the
States attorney, offers to Moulton a
withdrawal of the indictment on the
ground that the late trial settled all
the points at issue. Moulton indig-
nantly rejects the offer. He saysthat
be is indicted for a crime of which be
is innocent, and demands that the
case go to trial. Beecher wants it
dropped, and it was his friends who
influenced Britton to make the offer.
The cat under the meal is this. In
the late trial Mrs. Tilton could not
be brought upon the stand to testify,
because she was the wife of a party
interested but in this trial her hus-
band is not interested, and she can be
compelled to testify as to what she
knows of the matter. Mr.. Moulton
wants to get her on the stand, to put
her in the hands of acute lawyers,
who will sift her-he wants to COM
pei her to testify openly as to what
she knows of her letters and Beecher's
letters, without private instruction.
Moulton has blood in his eye, and
he intends to follow up this trouble
till he ends it one way or the other.
1t is easy to understand why the
Beecher party are willing to let the
scandal drop, and just as easy to IN
derstand why the Beecher party are
willing to let the scandal drop, and
just as easy to understand why
Moult0n is not. He demands a trial
on the charge of libel, and he is will
ling to have the world know whether
be libelled Beecher or not. | don't
see how Beecher can afford to avoid
the issue, and therefore there is to be
a revival of the nastiness. Let Us
hope that the trial won't last as long
as the first did.
Beecher returns to the city this
week, his friends signalling his re-
sumption of labor by a grand testi-
monial ovation at the Brooklyn Acad-
envy of Music.
Tilton commenced his big lecture
tour last night at Port Jelvis, n. Y.
He had an immense audience and
was heartily greeted. He speaks
this season two hundred consecutive
nights, twice in New York and
Brooklyn. OF course he will draw
immensely.

AN OLD swINDLE REVIVED.

Do you remember the old sawdusI
swindle? Were any of your acquain-
tances ever bitten by the adroit
swindlers who infest this city, doing
their business through mails? Look
out just now, for ther Elias Brothes
who are the most talented men in the
profession, are at it again. These
men r Israelites, and what they
don't know in the way of getting a
dollar without returning it, isn't worth
knowing. Besides the sawdust
swindle, they have fathered the bo-
gus lottery schemes, the watch dis
tribution scheme, the Milton gold
scheme, and the great majority of
the swindles that have for ten years
depleted the pockets of the crcdnIous.
And now they turn up again with
what they call a General Average
Sale of 81, 900, 600 worth of goods an
nually." They propose to sell you a
sealed box which will contain goods
varying from $1,000 diamonds all
the way up to $1,000 camel-hair
shawls, for any price you choose,
from S. to $50.
1t is curious, bu. even this bare
hook will be swallowed by thousands,
as have all the bare hooks these fell
lows have dropped. The Elias
Brothers laugh at their dupes and
laugh at the police. They run a
swindle till it becomes too notorious,
aud then they devise another. The
police 60 for them, but they beat the
courts. They keep in their employ
a well-known firm of criminal law
yers, to whom all their schemes are
submitted. If they are of a natur
that exposes them TO the law, they
are altered and amended, the point
being TO keep just within the law
without injuring the swindle. You
see, they have it down to the finest
possible point-in fact, they conduct
their swildles on business principles,
Please put your readers on their
guard against these fellows. Their
circular-they sent out $1,000 of
them yesterdays adroitly written,
and would almost deceive the elect.
They show how they can give two
dollars for one, and make money by
doing it.
THE FAST MAILS To THE WEST.
The Inauguration of the fast mail
trains from New York to the West,
is hailed by the business men Of this
city as the NEST useful :eform of this
generation, and grateful peans are
being sung to P. NJ. G. Jewell. A
train leaves this city every morning
at Ais A. NJ, it reaches Cleveland
at 1880 P. NJ, Toledo 11:27, and is in
Chicago the next morning. 1t takes
and leaves mails all along the route.
1t is a glorious and a good thing.
The business "a of Chicago is only
twenty -four hours from New York;
But the terminal points and the
points along the line are not the only
ones benefited. AT Cleveland, four
tons of matter were left for the roads
connecting there, and at Toledo, the
principal railroad entire between
New York and Chicago, thirteen
tons were left. The country be-
tween Cleveland and Indianapolis,
and the country penetrated by the
fifteen lines that centre at Toledo,
reap the incalculable advantages Of
this fast mail service. | predict that
it will be found so useful that special
fast mail trains will be put upon all
the trunk lines in the country.
The experiment has proTed an un-
qualified success.

THE roRcHLlGHr PROCESSION.

took place and was a grand affair.
From an early hour all along the
route Of procession and the streets
leading thereto the sidewalks were
crowded With people who waited
patiently to witness the demonstra-
ton. Being the first general parade
considerable delay in the formation
occurred, but when it did nov the
line was well conducted and the clubs
were warmly greeted.
The Duquesne club with their
white caps and capes led the process

HIS VISIT TO PITTSBURGH.

Gov. Hartranft arrived in the city
on Saturday morning and put up at
the Monon gahela House, where he
was visited by many citizens. In
company with Hon. Miles s. Humph-
ries and other South Siders, be spent
several hours in the mills and work
shops beyond the Monongahela, and
was cordially greeted by workmen
everywhere. Wherever the Governor
appears he makes friends, and the
warm grasp Of the hand given him
by the people shows that their hearts
are with him.

BUSINESS.

| am exceedingly glad to be able
to report a decided revival of bust
ness in the city. The country mer-
chants are here in force from Maine
to Texas, and while they are not
buying with anything like the free
dom of former years, they are doing
decidedly better. Instead of merely
sorting up, a majority Of the country
buyers are purchasing stocks. Tween
ty-6ve houses reported yesterday
that they were making larger sales
than last year, at this time, by TWEEN
per cent, and that payments were
never better.
No ore expects the large, rushing
trade of former years, but it is graft
flying to know that there is any in
crease. Money is very plenty in the
city FOR those who have proper col
laterals, though it is almost impossi-
BILE to get at it on anything but city
securities. 1t is a thousand pities
that a portion of the vast sums lying
idle at this time in the city could not
be placed outside, where it could be
used to advantage.

Mr.. VIM. &. Warwick, now in

In his thirty years and more of bust
ness, as miller, farmer, etc., we don't
think Mr.. Warwick has made even
an enemy. He will give you your
grist promptly, and warrant you good
-four and a good turn out from decent
wheat, if it is well cleaned. We hear
the change has been made in conse-
ouence of Mr.. Smithymans buying

The people of Bloomington are
beginning to talk about making an
addition to their present school build
ing, about as long as the present one.
Eight or ten years ago one would have
wanted at least an accident insurance
policy to have spoken of putting
more than $500 or $4,000 in a school
house, but, after investing nearly
$1,000, it is now thought by many
that as much more, invested in the
same way, would pay. There is not
shadow of doubt but one of the
very best schools in the county would
be the result of such action.

assault with intent to kill one Comfy,
in February last, was heard before
Justice Burr on Tuesday. 1t will be

the hands of the defendant broken
arm and head, and other personal in

court and testify. The case was con-
tinued for further hearing, to be tried
by Esq. Burr on June 1st next
