THE PURSUER PURSUED.
A Murderer Captured By a Yankee Peddler
Aher a Sir Months Chase.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Sept. 26-After
eluding for ten months the professional
detectives who have been searching for
him, the Amherst murderer has fallen
into the hands of cute Yankee peddler
who turned detective for the express
purpose of catching him. The victim of
the murder was Moses B. Dickinson, a
morose old farmer, and an excessive eater
of opium, who, having quarreled with
his family, lived by himself. Last fall
he hired as farm hand stranger, who
was not long in discovering that the old
man had money, He knocked out the
old mans brains with an axe in order to
get it, and, locking every door and win
dow, fed. AS the old man was often
stupifed with opium for several days at
time, the neighbors knew not that his
life had been taken until the murderer
had had three days to make good his es-
cape. The old mans horribly mutilated
body was discovered on Saturday night
the 9th of last November and the town
authorities Immediately offered $500 re-
ward, the highest reward permitted by
the laws of the State, for his recovery. A
complete description of the stranger was
published, and the next Monday man
was arrested at Shelburne Falls who an
swered the description, but was not the
person wanted. Since then five or six
other men have been arrested on suspic-
ion in different parts of New England,
only to be released.
About six months ago A. w. Small, a
trunk peddler, found himself almost con-
stantly shadowed by a person who, he
became convinced, meant to improve the
first opportunity to roba and perhaps MUIR
der him. 1t flashed upon him that the
man was murderer of farmer Dickinson,
and going to amherst, he secured the
murderer's description and other infor-
nation which confirmed that belief
From that moment Small, instead of be-
ing the pursued became the pursuer, and
his former shadow, suspecting the truth,
fled at his approach, travelling by night
and keeping concealed by day. For five
months Small has tracked him through
New England into the city of New York,
back to Boston, into every sort of byway,
losing the trail here and gaining it there.
He finally came upon him last night at
Agawam, and with a Sherff's assistance
arr rested him. The son of the murdered
man came to this city to-day from Am
herst, and unhesitatingly pronounced
the prisoner his fathers murderer. The
fellow answers the description in every
detail. down to small scar on his left
hand. The Yankee peddIer this after
noon accompanied his prisoner to Am
herst to claim the reward.

". A. WHEELER as A TRUSTEE
A Stit Brought by Railroad Company to
Recover 100000.

New YORK, Sept. 27-Some time prior
to 1860, William A. Wheeler, John S. Ell
bridge, ofBoston, and George W. Brown,
of Ogdensburg, were appointed Trustees
of the Ogdensburg, st. Lawrence & Lake
Champlain railroad. The annual salary
of each trustee was fixed at SIS 600. In
1866, the stockholders of the company,
realizing that the trustees were grossly
mismanaging the road, instituted pro-
ceediDgs in the Supreme Court for their
removal. In 1855 an order was granted
by the Court empowering the stockhold-
ers 10 reorganize the company. Mr..
Wheeler, knowing that reorganization
would remove him, and learning that
under the code of practice in this State
no appeal could be taken from the order
of Court, secured the passage through
the Legislature of an amendment to the
code OF procedure that rendered such or
ders appeslable. Armed with copy of
the law, he threatened to appeal from
the order unless the stockholders would
compromise with him by paying to him
and his CO. trustees $4,000 each, their
salary for four years. The stockholders,
desirous of getting rid of the trustees,
and unwilling to submit to the delay con-
sequent upon an appeal from the order
of the consented to Mr., Wheeler's terms,
and paid him $4,000. After the COM
pany had been reorganized, suit was
brought against Messrs. Wheeler, Ed
ridge and Brown to recover the 100000.
One of the company's counsel was Ed
wards Pierrepont. The Justice before
whom the case was brought was rela-
tive of one of the trustees, and it was
therefore removed to the United States
Supreme Court, where it is still pending.
Since the suit was begun, Mr.. Eldridge
and Mr.. Brown have died.

The one sheep owned by the Republi-
can candidate for President, and listed
by him in his return to the tax gatherer,
is a living monument to his inca
pacity as a man of affairs. Governor
Hayes swore, in 1875, that his sheep was
worth S.. In 1876 he stated under oath
that the animal was worth only 50. Now,
if Hayes so administered the affairs of a
sheep that it deprecated in value sixty
per cent in a single year, how many
years would it take him to bankrupt the
