SUDDEN DEATH.-We have, this week,
to record another sudden death in our midst.
Mr.. John G.. Laurence, foreman and cutter
in the merchant tailoring establishment
of Mr.. VIM. c. Grow, of this place, was
stricken down, without moments warn
ing, on Monday morning last. About eight
o'clock on the morning above named, he
had occasion to step into the Howard House
yard; scarcely minute after he had en-
tered he was followed by Mr.. Morris Dun,
bar, proprietor of the Howard House liv-
cry stables, who found him PROSTATE upon
the ground. DR.. Mitchell was Immediately
called in, but ere he arrived, life was ex-
tinct. Coroner Litzenberg took charge of
the body, and impannelled a jury of inquest
in the matter, who, upon the testimony of
the medical men, returned verdict of
s'death from heart disease He had, but
a few minutes previous to his death, ell
tered his place Of business apparently in
his usual health, and after passing the usual
morning salutations with Mr.. Crow, his
employer, stepped out lof q moment, before
entering upon the duties Of the day, with
the above result.
Mr.. Laurence was native of Boston,
Mass, and came to ElIlton about the year
1854 or ., in the employ of Benjamin B.
Pierce, Esq, at that time carrying on the
merchant tailoring business here. Pre-
vious to that time he had been employed
in Philadelphia, by Jacob Reed, clothier,
corner of Second and Walnut streets. He
was always remarkably reticent in relation
to his family connections, and but little
was known in that direction. MIR. Grow
despatched to parties whom he supposed
had knowledge of his relation, but hav-
ing no response, the body was inferred, on
Tuesday afternoon, in the Methodist bury
ing ground.

FIRE AT THE HOWARD IioUsE.-But for
its timely discovery, no doubt but that
disastrous fire would have occurred at TIE
Howard House, in this town, on Monday
morning last. One of the rear chambers is
heated 10y means Of drum attached to the
draught pipe of the stove in the room
below. This pipe passes up through the
! floor of the chamber and not being suitici-
emily protected, communicated fire to the
wood work surrounding it. Fortunately, it
was discovered before it had spread to any
considerable extent, and without much
effort, extingu,hed. Great care should be
taken to guard well all pipes passing
! through wood work of any kind.
IMrRovEMENrs.-Mr. Geo. Witworth, of
the firm of Witworth & Brother. carriage
builders, is about to remodel and improve
the property on North street. recently pnr-
chased by him. The store house is to lie
fitted up for grocery and provision store.
The dwelling he intends to occupy himself.
He is also about to establish, on the same
premises, wood yard, with all the neces-
sary machinery for saving and splitting
wood.
The Witworth Brothers are enterprising
men; their carriage factory is one of the
largest on the Peninsula, and turns out
work second to none. not even excepting
the crack city builders. Their sales are
not altogether local; they ship quantities
Of work to distant points.
HYMENEAL.-ClintonM Mccullough, Esq,
State Attorney for Cecil county, and Miss
jeanette Pierce, daughter of Capt. Matthew
C. Pierce, late of Elkton, now residing in
Wilmington, Del, were married at Trinity
Church, in the last named city, on Wedncs-
day noon last. The ceremony by which
the happy couple were made one, was per-
formed by Rev. DR.. Frost. The wedding
was very quiet one, free from all ostenta
ton or display. No bridesmaids or grooms-
men. The bride was led to the altar by
her father, and the groom was escorted by
DR.. \. B. Mitchell, brother-in-law of the
bride. The bride was attred in a travelling
suit of brown. Immediately after the sol
cmnization of the nuptals the bridal party
started on their wedding tour, taking the
limited express train for New York. The
bride is a cousin to Ex-Governor, James Is.
Groome, who, with large number of the
friends of both bride and groom, took the
morning train to Wilmington, to witness

"Help, for Gods Sake "-Ahempt Of EC-
press Car Robbers to DrOwn q ColOred
Woman.
ST. LOUIS Feb. 14.-Between seven and
eight o'clock last night two men in q
buggy, with what seemed to be colored
boy sitting between them, drove on the
bridge, tossed the toll keeper their fares
and started hastily on towards East st.
1uis. When out some distance on the
bridge a cry of "Help, for Gods sake !"
issued from the buggy and the colored
boy was tumbled out, when the other
occupants of the vehicle put the whip to
the horse and disappeared in the dark
ness. Jerry Miller, the bridge collector,
hastened to the spot and found the SEEM
ing colored boy to be Colored woman,
who said the men in the buggy were
named Wilson and Holland, and that
they were the parties who robbed the
United States express car on the st. Louis,
Kansas City & Northern Railroad, a few
miles from st. Louis, about six weeks
ago. She stated further that she at
tended to their room in the fourth story
of the building 3l4 North Third street,
over the American Express Office, and
that she went there about eight O clock
Yesterday morning and found them look
ing at some of the stolen articles and pa
pers. On being discovered at this, they
seized and chlorofOrmed and gagged her,
and kept her in room all day Towards
evening they put mems clothes on her,
II al iA1h hat. 1nN
stairs and placed her in buggy. She
says she was sensible while being taken
out of the building, and heard Wilson
and Holland say they intended to tie a
weight to her neck and throw her from
the bridge into the river; that she knew
too much and must be got rid Of Being
gagged she could not call for help, nor
could she escape by running away; but
while on the bridge she managed to get
the gag out of her mouth end screamed
for assistance, and was thrown out of the
buggy.
When Wilson and Holland reached
the east end of the bridge they were
stopped by the toll collector and Officer
Armstrong, for fast driving, but they
jumped out of the buggy and dashed
down the eastern approach of the bridge
for dear life and escaped. In the buggy
was found bottle which had contained
chloroform, a trace chain, sledge hammer
and car coupling link, which were no
doubt intended to be used to sink the
woman after throwing her into the
river. Holland was formerly railroad
conductor, but the Colored woman did
not know who Wilson was.

HOW UNCLE PETER HITCHCOCK
WAS SQUELCHED.

The freedom shriekers" have illustra-
ted again the utter hypocrisy of their
professions, by throttling, on the foor of
the House, the liberty of speech More
than this, they have in the repeal of the
Geghan bill crushed out liberty of con-
science, and they will bitterly regret
their course when the temporary excite
ment now existing in the public mind
has died away. They felt that the repeal
of tkat bill, which was in perfect keeping
with the bill of civil rights engrafted in
our State Constitution, needed some ex-
planation, hence, Hon. Peter Hitchcock,
of Geauga, one of the shrewdest politi
clans and ablest parliamentarians on the
Republican side of the chamber, seeing
in the future the handwriting on the
wall, that would consign the party to
ruin for its action on this subject, came
nobly forward, and dstanding in the breach
determined. offered the following amend
ment to section thirty-nine:
"Any prisoner, upon application to the
Warden, shall be allowed personal con-
sultation with minister or religious in
structor of his particular faith under such
general regulations as shall be estab-
Gshed for intercourse with prisoners,
made applicable to all religious instruc-
tors, and which shall not interfere with
the routine and discipline of the prison,
provided no expense shall thereby be
entailed on the State"
On this amendment 58 REPUBLl-
CANS and all the Democrats voted A AYE,
and the amendment was carried. That
evening the devil was to pay in the Radi-
cal ranks when some one wiser than any
of the members unfolded to them the
fact that the Democracy had outwitted
them by gaining in this way the sanction
of the Republican party to the Geghan
bill. Little Peter" was cursed, while
his resolution was discussed that night
in the hotels, saloons and public places OF
the city, and all parties were of the oPin-
ion that the Democracy had made ten
strike and gained signal victory over
the enemy. The party of morals and
religion were dumbfounded when they
discovered that they had been sold out,
and many of them were heard to say
"D-n it, we want a leader; we want
some one with ability enough to check
mate that troublesome South Carolina
corner" King Caucus took the matter
in hand; the offending brethren went to
the altar for prayer, and after the old
puritan ele. ent that so largely predoml7
mates in the Republican ranks had made
their confessions, it was resolved 70 re-
peal the obnoxious section; and How
land, of Ashtabula, was appointed to
make the striking out motion and to take
