Crazed by Jealousy.

Alderman George Brown, of Jersey City,
was awakened early yesterday morning by
the noise Of the bursting Of door in his
boarding house, Grove Terrace. On the
stairway he was met by Joseph II. Brown,
q former boarder In the house, who, point
ing revolver, exclaimed, "You are just the
man Pm looking for" and fired. The ball
missed It's mark, and as the Alderman was
about to spring upon the man he fired
again. The Alderman raised an alarm and
tie would-be murderer fed. He was
knocked down by butcher named Dennis
O'Neil and locked up. While boarding In
the house with the Alderman, Brown 1ell IN
love with Miss Stiles, the landlady's daugh-
ter. She repelled his advances, and he ac-
cused the Alderman of winning her afiec-
tions and threatened to kill him. For this
he was arrested and placed under bonds.
He continued his threats, and yesterday
morning broke through the basement door
with the avowed intention OF putting his
threat into execution. III.

And Pisrre was about to rush forward
again; bat jacques threatening attitude
caused him to stop, and he went to = fur

self: ..agalmf, = .o,-,.l !
t"Oh, miserable, cowardly wretch that
amV and he sobbed like child, as he
thought Of his own cowardice. III
"Come-come along" said the old wo.
man, taking Louise again by the arm, and
dragging her towards the steps. you're
strong enough when you want to be. Up
into the garret with you," and the old
wretch half-carried, half dragged the poor
girl along, until at the steps Louise fell
from her grasp, and lay upon the stairs,
seemingly too feeble to move. ,,,.,,
"Yes, that is right mother, take her up"
said Jacques, encosragingly, "get her out
OF the way. Oh, come hear, I want to
speak to you," he added, as he suddenly
thought Of some message that he had for
gotten. a57 ~ '' 5gs.a, 90
The old woman hurried down to hear
what her darling son had to say, and as she
left Louise where she had fallen upon the
stairs, Pierre took the opportunity Of
slipping around on the opposite side Of the
staircase, and whispering
"You can escape have unscrewed the
lock. The key Of the street door is under
your mattress. Trust to Heaven to guard
you. Nothing worse can happen than
threatens you here" IL ia l3&. .s
He finished whispering just in time to
hear Jacques say to his mother:
"Lock her up securely. / have my
reasons for distrusting Master Cupid"
"Yesyes l understand" replied the
old woman, shaking her head knowingly.
'ao ne, my innocent, hard working
brother," ordered Jacques. in a sneering
tone, "come with me, I want you."
II have work here" answered Pierre, as
he went to his wheel, and commenced to
work.
"And l have work for you elsewhere"
exclaimed Jacques, in an angry tone, and
with meracing gesture. l told you to
sharpen my cutlass. Come with me, and
keep your whining for this blind beauty
until another time; come along, say."
The cripple did not dare to disobey his
brothers orders when they were given in
that manner, and he started slowly towards
him, murmuring:
"Ah i'll had anything but water in my
veins, I'd do something more than whine"

A Singular Story.

The Worcester "Press" tells very curl
ous and suggestive story of the experience
of the Northampton Bank officers in their
attempts to recover a portion of the booty
through negotiations with the robbers.
When the bank officers, who are working
up the case, were in New York, recently, in
an interview with the man through whom
they are negotiating for the bonds, they ex-
pressed themselves as dissatisfied, and
wanted to know what proof he could give
them that he had got the bonds, and that
be was not trying to play sharp game on
them. He thereupon politely Informed the
bank officers that for the proof he would
mail to South Hadleyman, who owned
some of them, all of his bonds that same
day, and If the man received them that
ought to satisfy the bank folks. And fur
ther, that the night the robbers went up to
Northampton they were intending to rob
another bank besides the one they did
crack, but when they got into the room
over the bank and bored hole down they
found 1t would take several nights, and
they decided to take the First instead This
was all the proof the bank officers wanted,
and after the bank officials returned to
Northampton they made examinations, and
found the whole through the floor Of the
room above the Northampton National as
they had been told they would, and the
South Hadley man also received his bonds
by mail, as promised by the would-be ne
gotiator. It would appear from this that
the bank authorities are on the right track
this time, and those who suffered by the
robbery will doubtless await further devel-
opments with no little anxiety.

which excel anything we have ever
seen from mine in this county. One
of the specimens. Of which there were
three. which would weigh over
pound, was spangled on all sides with
gold. The ore contains considerable
silver, which gives it blnish tinge.
and the solid character of the quartz
peculiarly adapts it to- the purposes of
the lapidary. 1t wouid make the finest
kind of jewelry, with gold. silver, and
quartz in about equal proportions.

The Virginia Election Case.

The house decided to retain Goode, the
democrat, and reject the claim of James
Ii. Plat, the republican, both claiming to
represent the Norfolk district. This was
done directly in the face of all law and
facts, at the bidding of the ex.confederates
who rule the house. The strongest speech
in favor of Plstt was made by Mr.. Thomp-
son, the genial representative of the Essex,
Massachusetts, district, whose faithful adj
herence to the democrats entitled him to
their attention, and who warned them that
to exclude Plat would be the boldest out
rage in the history of the American con-
gress, but his warning was of no avail.
The democrats whose consciepces would
not permit them to vote against a demo-
crat allowed them to remain silent. Per-
sonal cntreaties have seldom been go
potent. Leading democrats had not the
courage or manliness 70 vote their convic
tons, and remained voiceless, " hlle their
partisan majority seated man who con-
fessedly had no right to his place. The
Old Dominion, 30 powerful in slave days,
had decided that Goode should be seated,
and northern doughfaces did not dare dis
pute the mandate.

Bluford Wilson testified five hours before

and some of bis statements, says Ben Per-

ton Journal, are remarkable, duplicating 90
they do the president, Horace Porter and
Babcock in most disgraeefq t;yaRsaG tA
tween the president and himself, and be-
tween General Webster of Chicago and
himself, of most damaging character.
His identification of Porter and Babcock
with the Black Friday frauds was appa-
rently perfect, and he placed ex-Attorney
General Pierrepont in tight place. His
testimony, whether it can be contradicted
or not, will serve to widen the gulf already
yswning between Gen. Grant and the bet
ter portion of the republican party.

A Phenomenal Storm.

II comes out that the recent storm in
western Massachusetts was the most re-
markable development yet coming out of
our unparalleled weather record. 1t will
be remembered that the evening sky effects
were entirely phenomenal, and rarely i'm
pressive for this latitude. The northern
sky, and to the east and west, just before
o'clock, was piled with clouds, through
and Illuminating which the lightning flashes
continually zig Jagged with grand effect /;
and then, as the storm was apparently
raging in the far distance, the horizon was
flooded as with the flames of great fire
that moved eastward, quite rs if the entire
forests were burning. One explanation,
given by those familiar with severe south
ern storms, is that the glare was caused by
whirlwind sweeping along the horizon,
its column OF moving air being illumined
by electric agencies. In anyGase the effect
was brilliant enough all over western Mas
sachusetts to alarm many people with the
notion of an actual fire. In many places
the storm proved the heaviest and most
disastrous of the season.
