tY Last Friday evening, We learn from
the Democrat fatal accident occurred on the
Easton and Amboy Railroad, near the resi-
dence of @. J. Garrabrant. A boy named
Tenbroeck Elgard, aged II years, whose
mother resides at Mettler's Mills. made an at
tempt to board coal train which was going
west at slow rate. At this point there is a
double track, and as the boy started to cross
the track to reach the coal train his brother
called to him to come back as the. eastern
bound passenger trsin was coming at full
speed. But not needing the warning the boy
went on and before he could Chamber upon the
car the other train rushed alongside, thus
fastening him between the two trains. He
was struck and instantly killed, breaking his
neck, arms and legs. This terrible accident
should prove warning to the boys who have
lately been in the habit of boarding coal trains
at this point to get short ride.

THE GREAT EXPRESS ROBBERY.
About @2OO, 900 stolen---How the job was
Executed.


From the New York Herald.I
Superintendent Walhng and the de
tectiyes were engaged yesterday in hunt
ing up the details of the recent robbery
committed on the Adams Express Com
pany. Three men, Daniel Hovey, a
driver, John Sweeney, clerk, and James
Drew, said to be implicated III the theft,
are now in confinement at the central
Office, and the police are endeavoring to
obtain from them information that will
lead 10 the recovery of all the property
taken. The robbery is said to have been
committed on Sunday, the oath ult., and
the amount taken in the neighborhood OF
100000. On that day Hovey and
Sweeney went to Jersey City to take
charge of some safes containing bonds
and money packages that had arrived
there from the country. The express
agent who had accompanied the safes on
the train handed them over to these men.
There were in all nineteen boxes, and
they were supposed to contain packages
of money and other valuables sent from
the various agencies throughout the
Southern States to the central Office III
this city. One of these boxes was placed
in charge of the agent at Richmond, Va,
and he in turn transferred it with the
others to Hovey and Sweeney, and the
supposition is that it was given by them
to the man Drew on the way from Jersey
City to New York. as it was not delivered
at its proper destination with the Other
safes. Hovey signed the agents receipt
book at Jersey City for nineteen safes,
and obtained receipt in his own book at
the Office in New York for the same num-
Der, although it was afterward discovered
that he had only delivered eighteen.
He managed to receive the receipt from
Mr.. Sullivan, who was in charge of the
receiving department at the central Office,
counting one of the boxes twice over.
In the hurry of business Mr.. Sullivan
did not detect the deception, but was
enabled to throw the immediate RESPONSE
bility from himself. On the following
Monday morning, when it was discov
cred that the safe from Richmond WIS
not in the receiving vault, II search was
instantly instituted, but no trace of the
missing box could be found. Hovey
stoutly maintained he had delivered it at
the office, and presented his receipt book
in proof of his correctness. The agent
at Jersey City was satisfied he had passed
it over with the others, and 80 the matter
rested, the case causing the greatest con-
sternation and mystery among all those
employed at the Office.
Many exaggerated stories have been
put into circulation about the amount
contained in the lost safe, but it is almost
certain it held no more than 500, 900;
much of this was in securities that can
not now be put upon the market, and of
course are of no value to the thieves.

State and United states Taxation.

The st. Louis Republican has pub
lished some interesting figures on the
relative cost OF the State and the gen
eral governments. Ii takes, for purposes
of comparison, the three large States of
New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois,
the three middle-sized States of Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Missouri, and three
other States, Kansas, Texas, and Ala
bama. The adjectives refer, of course,
to the population and wealth of each
Some of the figures are merely estimates.
Thus Pennsylvania collects her State
revenues by indirect taxation, so that the
rate per capita and per 500 must be cal
culated.
OF the three large States, New York
levies 724 cents on the 800 for State
purposes, or So. rs per capita Pennsyl-
vania charges 45 cents on the 500, or
$3.50 per head, and Illinois rates are a
trifie less than 60 cents on the 800, or
$2.23 per head, for State purposes alone.
The taxation in the middle-sized States
varies as follows

Wholesale Murder OF Babies.

As has been briefly announced by tele-
graph, an aged couple, named Nelson
and Mary Reynolds, were arrested few
days since on charge of numbering five
young children Mt babyfarming estab-
hshment Mt HOLSTER, Middlesex county,
Mass. The Springfield Republican
saws the business of the old couple has
been known for long time, and they
have had charge of 200 children during
the past three years, by their own admis-
sion, most of them being illegitimate.
Regular physicians have visited the es-
tablishment from time to time, and every
thing was supposed to be all right until
within few weeks, but growing sus-
picion that great cruelty and perhaps
murder outright was perpetrated has
been confirmed by an employee miss
Mary Colby of the old woman Reign
olds. She says that laudanum has been
used to carry off the babies, and that the
crimes have been concealed in mt least
three cases by withholding notices OF
tho death from the Town Clerk. Another
witness Miss Shebon) confirms this
story, and even furnishes bottle con
tanning the poison from which she says
doses have been given TO the children.
Most of the criminal work is said to have
been done by the woman, but Mr..
Reynolds doubtless knew what was go
ing ON. When arrested, the old couple
denied the charge of murder, and de-
clared that the substance they gave the
children was mixture of laudanum,
sweet tincture of rhubarb and camphor,
which had been prescribed by physi-
clans.

A Bright Woman.

The presence of mind and prompt
courage of women need never hereafter
be doubted, since Mrs. Church, of New
ark, has so conspicuously demonstrated
her possession of those qualities. She
was sued by sexton, who hal slipped
and broken his leg while holding her
horses, for the value of the leg. The
sexton obtained verdict in which his
leg was estimated to be worth 81, 900,
which sum Mrs. Church will be expected
to pay. Now, mark the manner i'll which
that astute woman received the news of
the verdict. Instead of bursting into
tears and insisting that she never would
pay the extortionate sexton for his gross
ly over-valued leg, she quietly went out
into the street, selected nice icy bit of
pavement, and, gracefully falling down,
broke her arm. OF course she will sue
the city of Newark for the value of that
arm, and, of course, no jury will esti-
mate it at higher rate than the sexton s
leg. Indeed, she will probably make a
handsome profit out of the affair, besides
demonstrating that her sex is capable of
the brilliant feats of legal strategy

These nine States fairly represent the
average of the whole Union. The aver
age rate of State taxation is, then, about
62l cents on the 500, or 81 per capita.
The taxes levied by the national govern
ment amounted, in 1868, to $3.50 per
500, or 1929 per capita, and i'll 1874 to
- per 800, or 81 per capita.
1t appears, then, that United States
taxes, despite the recent reduction, are
still 81 times as much per 800 and per
capita rs the State taxes. But the local
tax of each State far exceeds those levied
for State purposes, and hence the COM
parison with Federal taxation is deceptive.
The general government has al army and
navy, n postotfce, an enormous pension
list, and rivers and harbors, public
buildings, diplomatic service, Indian an
nuities, national judiciary, Congress and
miscellaneous things to support, and a
great debt upon which TO pay interest
but the States have also, many of them,
heavy debts, and they, too, maintain very
costly reformatory, penal, charitable and
school systems, which cost the Federal
government nothing.
These figures show that great field
for economy still exists in the States rs
well rs at Washington. Legislatures and
Congress must stop extravaganza appro-
priations, must keep clear of swindling
subsidies and jobs, and must keep down
taxation instead of increasing it. Even
such a CALLED jade as the American tax
payer will sometimes vince. Chicago

An Itinerant Fish HOOk---It Goes All
Over a Boy.

We find the following in the Dover On.
II. } Enquirer: Some eight years ago
lad of -, son of Charles Z. Myers, a
well-known citizen of Portsmouth, while
fishing from one of the wharves of that
city caught fish-hook in the forefinger
of the right hand near the roots of the
nail, drawing it into the bend of the
hook. His father saw at once that the
only thing to be done was to open the
finger on line with the hook and take it
out, but preferred to call in their family
physician to do it, After looking at it
for moment, the doctor, by a sudden
twist, wrenched the hook from the finger,
minus the barb and point. The parents
were Justly indignant at such rough treat
ment, and insisted that the hook was not
all removed, while the boy came near
fainting from extreme anguish. The
doct1x, however, insisted that no incon-
venience would result, and dressed the
finger in some simple and safe manner,
and in due time the wound healed. But
the finger and arm troubled him for
long time. After year or two the lads
health had so far failed as to become IA
subject of serious alarm to his friends,
he being subject to frequent and alarm
ing fainting fits and other spasmodic af
fections or symptoms. This state of
affairs continued for years with more in
tensity until year or two ago, when the
boys health became nearly or quite re-
stored. In the spring of 1874 the young
man, while dressing himself one morning,
tore pimple from his left shoulder, and
on examining it he drew from the flesh
the point of the hook which seven years
before was imbedded in finger on the
o,,poaita side of his body
