The Schultz tannery, which for
years was idle, and had assumed so
dilapidated an appearance from
neglect that it was an eye sore to the
passer by, has within two years been
completely metamarphosed. After
Mr.. Wilhelm purchased the property
the dilapidated tumble down struc-
lures were replaced by neat and SUBJ
stantial buildings. This summer
great improvement has been made by
building new engine house with
ample rooms OIL the second story
which are used in the manufacture of
leather They have already built up
a good trade in leather, and ere long
Wilhelm's tannery will be known far
and wide. One of the accommodations
which they have introduced for the
benefit Of the public is steam whistle,
which gives notice to the whole town
of the time, morning, noon and
night. A few more enterprising
business men like Mr.. Joseph Will
helm and Joseph Hanhauser, his able
assistant, and we would soon have st.
Mary's turned into manufacturing
town of celebrity.-H Md7y's Gazette.

a CURIOUS WELL.-Cherry Tree,
on the borders of Cambria, Clearfield,
and Indiana counties, says the In
diana Democrat, has a small artesian
well, which visitors think a curiosity.
Some twelve years ago a well was
bored for oil, and ever since water and
gas, which they struck at about two
hundred and sixty feet, have been
boiling out in considerable quantities.
The water has never been analyzed,
is mild catharic, cleanses thoroughly
and softens the skin, is cold and very
clear; but when stirred up in the tub
within which it boils up it becomes
white as though mixed with milk.
The gas can be burned by inverting q
kcg or box over the water as it comes
up and lighting it at a hole in the bot
tom, and it burns two colors, a twirl-
ing blue blaze shooting out small
tongues of yellow flame.
Now it Is the Indiana electors who
are in trouble. 1t seems the electoral
ticket voted by the Democrats in
Adams, Allen and Wells counties,
and which gave Tilden over $4,000
votes on the 7th inst, was gotten up
as follows:
TILDEN, HENDRICKS AND REFORM!
HONEST OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES TIMES!
DEMOCRATIC
TICKET.
For President:
SAMUEL j. TILDEN,
For Vice President:
THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.
The question of the legality of these
ballots is now under discussion, and
from the plain reading of the law on
the point, as follows, it seems pretty
clear that they are illegal, and il
thrown out, as they should be, the
electoral vote of the State belongs t.
Hayes.
SECTION 23-That all ballots which may b,
cast at any election hereafter held in tn,
State shall be- written or printed on plain
white paper, without any distinguishing
marks or other Establishment thereon, eX
cept the names of the candidates and tn,
offices for which they are voted for, and In
| spectors of Elections shall refuse all ballots
! offered In any other description: Provided
Nothing herein shall disqualify the vote
from writing his name on the back thereof.
The Supreme Court of the State, W.
believe, is composed mainly of Demo
Gratis, and, unlike the Court of Moses
in South Carolina, would refnse to en-
tertain any motion looking to q re
vision of the ballots.

ROSS" TWEED LANDED AT LAST IN
LUDLOW STREET JAIL.

New York, November %, 1880 =.
M.-William NJ. Tweed was landed
this afternoon Mt the foot of Grand
street and North river, from the
revenue cutter. He was in a carriage
by the Sheriff, Undor-sheriff and Or
der Of Arrest Clerk Stacy, Ludlow
Street Jail, where he was admitted
through the gate, and not by the Office
as usual. All he remarked on being
admitted to his cell by Warden Wat
son was, II thought I would como
and see you again." No person was
allowed to see him tonight, and no
one but the watchman will be permit
ted to enter the corridor. The expert
ence of his escape has made the off,
cials of Ludlow street very watchful.
He will be treated precisely as other
prisoners, and allowed no privileges.
His rooms are much smaller than
those previously occupied, and are ac-
cessible only through the Warden
apartments.
Tweed was visited by his son, Will
liam NJ. Tweed, Jr., and an unknown
person. They remained two hours.
Tweed closed his door and refused to
be seen. After supper he retired and
was not visited again during the night
The prison is hronged by reporters,
and prisoners, reporters and visitors
are so mixed up that the Warden has
hard work noting who is who.
Tweed's delivery by the naval officers
was made in the presence of District
Attorney Phelps, United States Dis
trict Attorney Bliss and Sheriff Con-
ner. He was taken off the Franklin
in the lower bay by the tug Catalpa,
and after the delivery was made Bliss
and Phelps went on board the Frank
lin and left the Sheriff in full charge
of the prisoner. Mr.. Phelps says it
was not decided yet whether the
forgery suits would be pressed against
Tweed. However, an order has been
served OH the Sheriff calling for the
rearrest of Tweed, should he procure
bail in the civil suits pending.

MORE FLYING THIEVES.

RoTrENNEss IN THE NAVY Too-$250,-
900 swINDLER RUNS AWAY.
WASHINGTON. March 5.-The latest
disclosures of corruption in the Navy
Department occurred before the House
Committee on Naval Affairs, where
the way in which Norman Wizard
fleeced the Government out of $685.
900 was shown up. Norman has run
his rig and left the country for China
and Japan nearly week ago, but his
assistant was before the Committee
and swore that false reports of the
progress and success ofWiard's expert
ments with heavy ordinance on Nut
Island were deliberately and continu-
ously made, and that most of the ex-
pcriments which Wizard did make
could have been made in almost any
of the Government navy yards at one
tenth expense, 1t came out in the
testimony that one shot which was
fired cost the Government $4,000, and
that rotten sheet iron fastened togeth-
er was used for targets, for the pur-
pose of making the shot appear to
greater advantage. 1t was shown that
Government paltWiard IN all $252 200,
but it was not shwn where any great
proportion of that amount went to-
Boston people who spent any consider
able time down the harbor have a
very strong suspicion that good
deal of it went to pay for the grand
sprees which he was wont to have in
his private yacht.
1t also came out IN the hearing yester-
day that Wizards boasted patents were
really ne patents at all, and that some
of the money paid for them was paid
in direct violation to the law before
they were officially reported upon.

LITTLE FEET.

In castle hall or cottage homes,
Wherever guileless childhood roams
Oh, there is nothing halt so sweet
AS busy tread of little feet,
The signing breeze, the oceans roar,
rhe purling rill. the organ's power,
All stir the soul, but noLe so deep
AS tiny tread of little feet
When forth we go at early morn,
To meet the world and brave its scOrn,
Adown the garden walk so neat
We see the prints Of little feet.
At eve when homeward werepair,
With aching limb and brow OF care,
The voices sing out clear and sweet,
Then comes the rush Of little feet.
Dut when the angel death hath come
And calls these flowrets from our home,
Oppressive silence reiens complete;
We miss the sound of little feet.
And when this pilgrimage is DER,
And you approach that blissful shore.
The first to run your soul TO greet
Will be your darling's little feet.

Investigation Of the Charges
Against Mr.. Blaine.
TESTIMONY or A. p. ROBINSON
RELATIVE TO THE DONDS.
MIR. BLAINEs INNOCENCE FULLY Es
TABLISHED.

Washington, MAY "a. Mr.. Blaine was presen
to-day, and A. 2. Robinson testified he was chic
engineer of Fort Smith & Little Rock X. IL. frou
1869 to 1871. All assets and bonds were under
the control Of Contractor Caldwell. In 1871 wit
ness brought package from Caldwell in Boston
to Mr.. Blaine in Washington. He called Blaine
out into the lobby and delivered the package to
him. Witness knew nothing about the conten IS
of the package, and had no conversation with
either Caldwell or Blaine that would indicate what
was in the package; held few minutes CONVEX
sation with Blaine, in which he made some casual
inquiry about the Fort Smith road, and spoke OF
the coal interest out there. Witness knew nothing
whatever about Blaine having any connection
with the Fort Smith road never told any person
in the world that the package contained 20 bonds,
and knew absolutely nothing about Blaine's own
ership of any bonds or interest in the Fort Smith
& Little Rock road. The package was ream of
paper, unsealed, and was directed to Blaine.
A special Washington correspondent interview
ed the witness, Robinson, as to the nature of his
testimony relative to the delivery of Little Rock
bonds to Blaine, and says he knows no more
about it than the man in the moon! He states
that he had been at Boston, and intending to come
to Washington, learning which, Caldwell, con-
tractor of the Little Rock railroad, gave him a
package to take to Blaine.
The package about two feet in length and
in shape of a roll two inches thick He took it to
the House of Representatives, sent in his card and
Blaine came out to the Speakers room lie gave
him the roll and was invited in upon the floor by
Blaine who resumed his seat, and carelessly
threw the roll on an adjoining chair. This was
all there was OF bond delivery, but here Robinson
admitted, and said at the same time he greatly re-
GREETED having said IN careless way, to some
friends, at his house in Little Rock, something
about bonds aud an occurrence in the Speaker ;
room which had been repeated, and thus occas
toned all this trouble to himself and Blaine He
would not have been called away from his home
and brought here as witness for $1,000. lie
never thought that the story would be repeated,
and he affirmed that there was no foundation for
the scandal which had been raised against Blaine
IN consequence.

NO CLUE TO THE MURDERER.

Kecnc, May "a. Avian G. Foster was found
murdered and robbed at o'clock this morn ing,
y ing IN yard of No. 10 school house, with a
handkerchief drawn over his mouth, killed by a
blow in back of the head. He has lately been SELL
ing fruit trees for Chases Nursery, of Geneva, n.
T.. and was delivering and collecting for the last
few DAYS, probably having quite a sum of money.
He was middle aged, had wife and two children,
and was evidently going to his home on Cottage
street, last evening, when killed. No clue to the
murderer.
The body of Foster was examined before 3 cor
onor's jury this forenoon, by Drs. Twitchell and
Carpenter. 1t appeared that death resulted from
chloroform in a saturated sponge, found under the
bandage over his mouth. Marks Of struggle in
the highway near by, indicated that the body had
been dragged into the school yard, after the muir
der, as the clothing was covered with mud. His
empty pocket book was found near by. About
$40 remained on his person, in pocket that had
escaped search The inquest is to be this after
noon. The Guy authorities offer $500 reward for
apprehension Of any party concerned in the muir
der, and force Of special police have been de-
tailed to hunt for the murderers.
LATER.
Bill Hewlett was arrested at keene, to-day, on
suspicion of being the murderer of Foster last
night, and was committed to Jail.

Indian Matters.

Fort Laramie, May a. Five companies of
regular infantry are expected to reach Fort Fet-
terman soon. The whole force of the Big Horn
expedition will comprise fifteen companies of cav
airy ond five of infantry, under General Crook.
1t is said that there are twelve thousand Sioux
warriors encamped on Blue Stone river, Montana,
300 miles from Fort Fetternan, and that seven
teen of the forty-two lodges that left Red Cloud
agency a short time ago, have returned frightened
after short skirmish with Capt. Eagan's COM

Terry's expedition only made forty miles in four
days, owing to bad roads, and met no Indians
