HEAVY ROBBERY.
Raid on a Jewel Box.

Between 8 and O'clock Saturday
evening the fine residence OF Colonel
N. l.. Anderson, at No. 120 East Fourth
street, between Lawrence and Pike, was
entered by sneak thief, and jewelry to
the amount Of nearly $4,000 was taken.
Entrance to the room where the valu-
ables Were-the front room in the second
story-was effected by means of the
front balcony, and an ornamental iron
vine which tWines round the pillars.
The room which was invaded was Mrs.
Anderson's chamber, but which had not
been used recently oD account Of sick
ness in the lami y. The nurse girl In the
room adjoining heard a noise in the room
in front, but thinking Mrs. Anderson
was in there she paid no attention to it,.
A hall hour later she went in and found
that the place had been thoroughly ran
sacked, and the window open. She then
informed the family, but it was OF course
too late, as the bold thief had got his
booty and departed.
He mad takeG jewel box which con-
tanned all of Mrs. Anderson's valuable
jeWelry, with the one exception of q
pair of solitaire diamond earrings that
she happened to have in her ears; also
a sealskin sack and muff, trimmed with
not only valuable as to cost, but in
cluded some pieces highly priced as
heirlooms in the LOngworth and kilgour
families-pieces given her by her mother,
Mrs. Kilgour, and by her mother.
inlaw, Mrs. Larz Anderson. Among
the latter was an old topaz set, given TO
Mrs. Nicholas LOngworth as a family
token of some occasion Of interest to
herself and children, seventy years ago,
and by her given to the daughter, Mrs.
Larz Anderson, and by her again, only
TWO weeks ago, to the loser. This set
consists OF earrings, tilagreed hoops,
made ''rights and letts," one for each
ear, with settings OF topaz, and neck
lace TO match, consisting of two chains OF
gold, clasped at the back and caught in
front with u topaz. There were several
rings set with diamonds and other
pieces, and finally, the most valuable
single piece of all, cross, containing
a dozen diamonds.

The WOrkingm en-.

The W orkingmen's Society met in Ar
better Hall yesterday afternoon to hear
lecture delivered by Mr.. Peter Ii
Clark on "Wages, Slavery and the Rem
edy.' A good and intelligent audience
were in attendance, who seemed to en-
JOY the remarks of the speaker.
Mr.. Clark addressed himself to the
present relations of capital and labor.
and showed how the inord nate concen.
tration of the former operated against
the interests of the latter, bringing about
the evils of unemployed capital on the
one hand and unemployed labor on the
other. The speakers remedy ior these
would be gradual, aud he would bring
about relormation OF the laws of So
ciety and OF the Government. He would
show that the selfish gaining and hold
ing OF large fortunes was contrary to the
welfare Oh soc ETY. and TO tle interests of
capital itself. Furthermore, as the Gov
ernment placed signals on the coast as
warning against the wreckiug Of ships
and loss of comm cree, he would have
devised some means to restrain reckless
speculation, large business failures and
commercial pahics.
On the other hand, he would have the
law recognize the rights as we'll as tue
duties OF labor, by Offering facilities OF
information through whicn there m 4ght
be better distr button throughout me
branches Of industry. For labor he ad-
vised thorough, intelligent, honest and
faithful organization, tue collection aud
study of statistics, &c, in order that
each man might judge for himself the
best and most profitable occupation to
engage in; and lie lurther couns led tha
atfDrting 10 cnildren of the best educd-
Lional advantages, that they might,
when they III turn assumed the respu !
sibiiiues of life, tue better look altel

In short, he Mould have capital give
up some oil its assumed selfish rights
and give labor its share, still bearing in
view the principle that al shauld mol

A Young Woman Accidentally
Shot

Another fatal accident occurred yes
terday afternoon by the reckless use Of
a pistol, at the house No. 3I5 West Sixth
street. Jennie Marquette, widow
about thirty years old, was visited at
that place about O'clock by two friends,
Albert Stautfer and Caleb w. Fuller,
who are employed at the Cincinnati
News Company. Staufferis married
man, and lives at 1856 Smith street. Full
Ter is unmarried, and lives on Ritten-
house street.
When the two were in Mrs. Mar
quette's room, which is divided by cur
tain screen, Fuller stepped behind this
to get drink Of water. He saw pis-
tol on shelf and took it down. A play
full scuffle followed between him and
Mrs. Marquette for the possession OF
the weapon, and finally it was gwen to
Stauffer. He examined it anu found
that il was out OF order, and at Jennie's
request he proceeded to adjust it. The
chamber, which had been removed, was
then restored, when Stautfer, forgetting
its presence, snapped the weapon at
Mrs. Marquette, who was sitting on
Fullers kuee.
The fatal bullet struck the woman in
OuO law anu uGl
brain. She fell to the floor in dying
condition.
Stautfer dropped the pistol and rushe
out on the street, telling some police
men what he had done. They all then
returned to the room and placed the
dying woman on a bed, and called in DR..
z. L. Williams, who had her conveyed
to the Hospital, where she died.
Stautfer was arrested on the charge of
murder, and Fuller was also held to give
his testimony before the Coroner.
Mrs. Marquette professed TO have
been married five times. She came TO
this city from Newport, ana it is al
legged that she has mother living in
Bellevue or Dayton, Ky.
An inquest will be held tomorrow
afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
.&Staufer was arraigned in the Police
Court this morning, charged with mur-
der, but the case WIS laid over until
December IA. No bail was taken.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY

We closely watched and with an extraor-
binary degree of interest, the late contest
in Staunton. The novel spectacle was
there presented of city, largely Conser-
vatlve, presided over by a prominent and
leading Radical, elected to the Mayoralty
by Conservative Council, who asked the
party to sustain their action by his con-
frmation at the polls.
The Staunton INDICATOR fearlessly
denounced the conduct OF these men, and
urged primary election, so that the choice
Of the party might be fairly and definitely
ascertained and ticket presented for its
suffrage that would command it's conf
dence and support. This was opposed by
the councilmen who had acted thus strange
ly, and their immediate friends, backed by
the accustomed ability of the VALLEY liz
ginian." A meeting was held, and the
course suggested by the INDICATOR
adopted Then came the primary and the
ticket WAS made up.
The canvass was the warmest ever made
there, resulting in a larger poll than was
ever made before. The spectator, strange
to say, took no part in it, and the whole
heat and burden of the day was thrown
upon the VINDICAToR:
The day of election told the story IN the
triumph of the Conservative nominees with
few executions. All honor to the VINDI-
GATOR to whose bold, fearless and ablead-
vocacy the Conservative party Of Staunton
is mainly indebted to-day for its success

SPEAKER BLAINE made a dramatic Al

SPEAKER BLAINE made dramatic and
fiery speech in the House Monday, defend
ing himself against the $4,000 railroad
bond charge originating in his own party
against him. But he didn't clear himself,
and it is hardly likely he will get any nearer
to the Presidency than Cincinnati. Ex-
Speaker Kerr, who is charged with selling
an appointment some years ago, proves
the utter bad character of his aceuser and
some discrepancies in his testimony, in
addition to which, Ben. Butler says there
isn't a man. woman or child in the United
States who believes Kerr guilty. And that
is about the way that the Speakers stand
