THE OLD. OLD STORY @ lite q sensation
was created near the corner Of Baltimore and
Frederick streets about i P. NJ. Monday.
Detective PiDkney West, Captain Tyler, Of
Richmond, Va, and a prominent andwealthy
gentleman from Norfolk, were walking along
Baltimore street, when the latter rushed
across the street, collared man, drew DE
tol, and was about to shoot If MesSrs. West
and Tyler had not interfered. 1t. appears
the man thus attacked is about twenty-five
years Of age, was engaged to be married to
beautiful and accomplished young lady
sixteen years old, niece of the aggressive
party. The young man, whose Dame is
withheld, as well as that of the young
lady, whose parents are quite wealthy,
had been started in business by his fdncet'S
relations, and great preparations bad
been made for the wedding ceremony, to oc-
cur on New-Year's. a few days previous,
however, the young gentleman disappeared,
and the young lady then revealed the fact
that she had been seduced. The uncle was
exceedingly wrotb, and vowed vengeance at
any cost of time or money. He went to
Richmond in search Of the fugitive, but not
being successful came TO Baltimore with Cap
tain Tyler, with the result stated. Seduc.
ton is felony according to the construction
of Virginia law, and the young man pro-
missed to return without requisiton. The
young lady had come to Baltimore with her
uncle, and after joint conference marriage
and silence was decided upon. All parties
accordingly left by boat for Norfolk with the
most amcable intentions. Ga

GOVERNOR WELLS IN TRoUBLE.-It is re-.

fore the Judiciary Committee of the United
States Senate to prevent the confirmation of
General 81. 81. Wells as United States attor-
ney for the District of Columbia Charges
of inhumanity and wanton cruelty while
proyost.marshal of the defeDces south Of the
Potomac, and charges of misadminstration
while Governor of Virginia in military
authority, are preferred, and mass of testl-
mony is being gathered in their support,
| which will be submitted to the committee.
Governor Weiss friends declare that any
fair investigation will show that his admins
| traton as provost-marshal at Alexandria was
has lenient as the security Of the national
capital allowed. and that the Government is
indebted to his promptness and vigilance for
information that led to the arrest OF the con-
spirators in the Lincoln assassination case
and the discovery of the route that Booth
had taken. They declare that nothing i'm
proper can be found in bis administration

Two HUNcRED REQUESTS FOR PRAYER
Philadelphia, January 4.-The Moody and
Sankey noon prayer-meeting was we'll attend.
ed to-day, and nearly two hundred requests
for prayer were read Mr.. Beale then prayed
that the requests be beard. "Come thou
fouHt of every blessing" was then sung.
Mr.. Moody made an address, taking for bis
subject Show to come to Christ" arguing
that it is when the sinner is tired of sin that
be will come to Christ. IL one expects to
come TO Him, and still keeps on in bis sin, He
will not give him the power. He wants the
sinner to bring his sins to him. He don't
want ones good works. He don't want the
sinner to tell how good he is. At the con.
clusion of his remarks Mr.. Moody announced
the Sixty.third Hymn g hear thy welcome
voice." Silent prayer was INDUCED in for a
moment; after which. addresses were made
by Or. Beale, Rev. DR.. Crole, and others.

AN ADVENTUROUS TlME.-We met yester-
day young gentleman, named rudolph
Scharf, who has assuredly had wonderously
lventurous life for a few weeks past. He
was formerly resident of this city, where
be has many friends, and worked with Mr..
William j. Folkes. Some years ago be left
here, and about six q ontbs ago he went to
Germany, where his mother, who has since
ditd, was very sick. Desiring to return to
America. be took passage on the Inflated
Deutschland, and was with her In all her
misfortuues, having remained twenty-four
hours in the rigging without food or drink.
He afterwards enrolled himselfas passenger
on the Mose, Of dynamite memory. At the
time Of the explosion he was fortunately on
shore. some distance from the steamer as
well as the Internal compound, and repre-
sents the shock rs perfectly terrific. He was
fortunate enough to escape serious Injury,
baving only lost part Of one finger on the
left hard, but was shocked to unconscious
ness for some half hour. He has finally sue
ceedel IL reaching this country in safety, and
will doubtless be slow in trusting himself TO
the tender mercies of the Atlantic again,
after his recent experience, which has GER.
tainly been an exciting and fearful one
