AN IMPORTANT INQUEST IN NEwARX--sTART-
LING STATEMENTS.
A considerable time ago the HERALD exposed
the dangerous mantrap system which the Penn
sylvania and other railroad companies maintain
IN New Jersey, more especially within the limits
of the city OF Newark. The road named, the
Newark and New York anu the Delaware Lacks
wanna and Western roads all run through the
city, crossing Its main thoroughfaxes. Hundreds
OF trains pass and repass every day, but not
single crossing is guarded by gates. fences o.
aught except q decrepit nagman OF venerable aga.
The result is that accidents" are OF frequent 90
currence, some fatal aud many serious. Such
is the danger that people expect any day to hear
OF fearful sacrifice OF life. Broad street, Market
street ana Mulberry, the three main thoroughfares
OF the city, are crossed by locomotives hundreds
OF times daily, with horse cars continually traverS-
Ing at right angles the open unprotected spaces.
Thus far the railroad COMPANIES have dehed the
puolic demand for safety, and in this have been
sustained by the public officials, some OF whom are
financially and otherwise crested IN the rOadnI

The New Testament rule, on the

the church, and that they, OH the man.

forgiveness. But when Mr.. Beecher's
sin found him out, through the confes'
sion of Mrs. Tilton, he did not follow
the New Testament rule he now lays
down. He did not go to his church
nor to any one of his best and discreet
est deacons or other brethren, and with
due penitence confess his sin and Offer
atonement, saying Help me, help

The Charleston (South Carolina)
News and Courier, of December 18th,
says: On Saturday evening TWO men
and woman arrived IN the city by
the Savannah train, and registered at
the Charleston Hotel under the name
of II. w. Davies, Thomas Nichols and
Mrs. Joseph ii. Nichols. Nichols is
the aDscondng teller Of the Canadian
Bank of Montreal, who, on the 18th of
September last, stole from the bank
quite n large amount of money, and,
in company with his father, leyanted
to st. Augustine, Florida. A reward
of So 600 was offered for the delivery
of Thomas Nichols at any place in the
British Dominions, and Henry W.
Davies, u well-known detective, was
sent in pursuit OF him. The detective
has been in st. Augustine at the same
hotel with Nichols for several weeks,
but could not arrest him, there being
no extradition treaty for that class of
ollenses between the United States
and the British Provinces. But he
kept his man in sight, and finally
worried him into surrender This
was accomplished by advertising. In
every portion OF the city circular was
posted, setting forth the theft, and Of
ferlng $4,000 reward for the arrest of
the fugitive. Every morning the fol-
lowing circular was placed in n con-
spicu0us place in the hotel at which
Nichols aud his family boarded:
Thief! $4,000 reward. On Sep
tember II, 1875, Thomas Nichols,
Teller of the Canada Bank of Com
merce at Montreal, Dominion of Can
ada, stole from said bank large guam
tity of Canadian Legal Tender Notes
ofthe denominations of $500 and$l 900,
and, accompanied by his father, Joseph
II. Nichols, fled from Montreal, and
these two iugitives from British JUS
tice are now at the Oriental hotel, city
of st. Augustine, State of Florida, Uni
ted States of America. | hereby offer
the following rewards: 5000, gold for
the recovery of the amount stolen, or
pro rata for what is recovered; and
5000, gold, for the delivery of the said
Thomas Nichols at any place in the
British Dominion, or Davies Detective
Agency, II and 10 William street, New
York, U. S. A.

Five weeks of this kind of conspic-
nous and persistent advertising effected
what the law could not. The default
Ing teller, unable to shake off the de-
tective, voluntarily surrendered him
self, and offered to return to Montreal
to stand his trial. The parties left on
the northern bound train on Saturday
evening, ell route for the British Prov
inces.
