There is evidence sufficient to induce the

He denied that he had the key to the door
that led to the bclfry. Two keys on his

brffry. There are other circumstances
which will be made public at the proper
time that strengthen the suspicion of his
guilt.
That he was under arrest upon suspi-
cion of being knowing to the murder of
Bridget Landergan is certainly not point
in his favor. Piper has not been
connected with the church for any great
length of time We regret that the same
kind fortune tEst Brought those cries to
the ears Of those who rescued Mabel
Young did not favor mortal eyes with q
sight of the man who came down that
steep snd narrow staircase. Had there
been that evidence furnished we are fear

trated which would not have met the APP
proval of cool deliberation, but which
would have been long, loud and deep
protest against that tardy justice which
is the evil of our time. The victim is for
gotten while the culprit is protected by
timid Governors, who procrastinate and
temporize at the bidding of mere senti

the responsibility will rest with those

little girl five years old, was found in
the belfry of the Warren Avenue Baptist
Church, Boston, last Sunday afternoon, in
an insensible condition, her head terribly
bruised by blows from a cricket bat. 1t
is evident she had been left for dead, but
recovered sufficiently to cry out and thus
attracted the attention of pas5ers by.
There is but little doubt that the sexton
of the church is the would-be murderer,
but what could have been his motive is as
yet mystery. All efforts to restore the
little sufferer to consciousness proved I'M
availing, and she died Monday evening.
The Boston Journal, commenting upon
the heart-rending affair says:
''The brutality of the deed is without
parallel, while the time and the act appear
so utterly at variance with all previous
precedents in the annals of crime, that
we hesitate to believe that such tragedy
could have taken place in this civilized
community. A little girl, Mabel Young,
aged five years, accompanied her aunt,
Miss Hobbs, to the Sunday School of the
Warren Avenue Church, Rev. DIR. Pcnte-
cost. After the services they came out,
and while the aunt was talking in tho YES
try the child went out with others 1t may
have been fifteen or twenty minutes be-
fore the child was missed Search was
made and the alarm was spread She
was not to be found with the other child
rem. In few minutes persons in the
street heard the piteous cries of child.
The sound apparently came from the bel
fry and thither few young men rushed.
The door at the bottom of the stairs was
locked, but they forced it and assembled.
There was no sound to be heard. A pair
of steps led from this upper room to
the open belfry above. At the top OF
these steps was trap door which was
closed. 1t was opened and there they
found the form of little Mabel Young, hel
skull fractured and her face badly disfig
ured.
Such, in brief, is the sad recital of
deed without a name. The blood in the
room below the belfry and the bat show
THAT the violence was perpetrated There
Probably her cries frightened the villain
and to silence her the blow was struck
The next impulse was to conceal the body
and 1t was carried up the steps to the bel
fry, whcre, had the murder been full,
consummated, the little victim nigh
have remained till fitting opportu
nifty had presented itself for the pcrpetra
tor to remowG all traces of the outrage.
That child of such tender age Shout,
tempt the evil passions of any one wear
ing the form of manhood seems incredi
bic, but upon no other theory can tn
presence Of the child in that belfry b
accounted for. She could not with he
feeble hands have raised the trap door
while the pool of blood in the attic beloy
proves that she was carried up the step
to the belfry after the blow was struck
That the wicked intent which led to thi
horrid but not greater crime was not con
summated we know. Let us be Thankful
as parents for this much.

A. Terrible Explosion.

A business building on Washington
street, Boston, the lower story of which
was occupied as drug store, was blown
to- atoms, Wednesday evening, by some
terrible explosion the nature of which is
as yet shrouded in mystery. Various
theories aus to the cause OF the explosion
have been advanced. Some asserted that
a large quantity OF powder had been
stored at the rear Of an adjoining hard
ware establishment, and this had been
touched off accidentally, but it was after
wards stated that the powder was re-
moved directly following the explosion.
1t was also asserted that the explosion
was the result Of chemical experiments
in the store Of the pharmacist on the
lower floor. Again, it was said that the
pharmacist had quantity of nitro-glyccr-
inc or dualin on hand; but that theory
was exploded by those employed in the
establishment. The explosion was next
attributed to the manufacture of soda or
the premises; and again the theorists
were at fault, as it appeared that the soda
dispensed by the pharmacist was manu-.
featured on Washington square The
only reasonable cause assigned for the
catastrophe is in the statement that gas
from the street main or sewer had beer
escaping in the neighborhOod for severa
days past, and that an employee of Georg,
D. BOWS, the pharmacist, carried a light
into q confined section of the cellar
which at the time was filed with the es
capped gas.
Its results thus far reported are fou
persons killed, one fatally wounded anC
fifteen Others suffering more or less pain
full injuries, while the damage to propert!
win probably exceed 100000, as all tn,
buildings in the immediate vicinity wer
more or less shattered.

Abraham Jackson, the ''missing law
YER" of Boston, whose history and ex-
ploits have been pretty well ventilated
through the papers recently, was arrested
at the Ausable House, Kecsville, N. Y, by
Detective Wood of Boston, Wednesday
evening, who at once started to return
with his prisoner. A dispatch from Bur-
lington, VT, announced their arrival there
Wednesday night, and further stated that
Jackson had engaged board for the sea-
son at the Ausable House and was fitted
out for seasons fishing.
1t seems that Jackson was in the vicin-
ity of Rutland last week. He left Fair
haven, Vt, Monday, the gath inst, for
Whitehall, N. Y, whore he took q Lake
Champlain boat for the north. A Boston
detective arrived at Fairhaven on Tuesday
and followed him to Whitehall, but came
back and tooksthe train for the north via
Rutland, hoping to overtake him. While
in Fairhaven Jackson was perfectly cool
and when shown the article in reference
to his defalcations ne said it was a news
paper scandal, and was false from begin
ming to end. He was treasurer of thu
Scotch Hill quarry of Fairhaven, anC
owned stock in the company to tn,
amount of about $4,000 He also own
some real estate in the same place. Al
attachment for 500, 900 in favor of JOSEPH
Fl. Church, of Boston, was served on th
property yesterday. Jackson spent on
day in Orwell, VT, looking for bloodet
stock, and was supposed to be on his wa,
to Canada when arrested.

enfranchised labor to cultivate the earth,
conduct the mechanical trades with
the transfer and transportation Of COM
merce by land and water. We have
proven ourselves capable Of approaching
the great boon Of citizenship, as peaceful,
useful aud intelligent members Of society.
We have faithfully sustained on conviction
the principle Of the Republican party,
and have given our votes for the men and
measures to whom we deem ourselves in
debted for all We are or may become.
Much OF this is essential to your own
vlndication. We deserve still further OPP
portunities to establish the propriety of
your pledges, and of your predictions in our
behalf. A large portion of our people are
exclusively employed in mental labor not
calculated to elevate or compensate them.
We are OF opinion that they are compe-
tent to produce as operatives manutac.
tured fabrics necessary for the South and
for the Union. The slave women in most
OF the Southern States spun and wove by
hand much of the clothing worn by the
people. white and black. They are skill
full with the scissors and needle and
capable Of all the ordinary work for
which female operatives would be re-
CURED in manufactures. Aid US, there
fore. to make this important experiment
in their behalf. Should it be successful
of which we have no doubt whatever. YOU
will have the satisfaction of contributing
to the entire success Of your own humane
and philanthropic policy. We shall have
the protection of demonstrating that
Southern society is still more indebted
to and dependent on the labor of one race.
We shall thus have additional guarantees
OF peace. safety. and respect of the people
with whom Providence has cast our lot.
For the Republican party of the South We
would add the words of the man of Mace
donia, who appeared in the vision, and
asked the apostle. 'Come over into Mace
donia and help us.
Such an address as we have suggested |
presented and signed by the gentlemen
to. may induce the abolitionists,
ohilanthropists and patriots to whom it
vas directed to establish an experimental
lotion mill in New Orleans to test the
capacity Of our place and people for that
industry. and would form a new claim Of
he co!ored race for the recognition of
heir value as an element of Northern
ociety. Certainly not until the colored
PEOPLE shall have been placed in the per-
ect security of Industrial and social inde-
'endence will the task Of the Abolitionists
ave ended.
