Fiendish Outrage.


A frightful tragedy occurred at Newark
N. j., Thursday afternoon, July 18th.
Three brothers, named Tielhorn, notorious
as desperate characters, were arrested BY
two policemen, named Dickorson and Els
den, for disorderly conduct. When the
policemen tried to march them off, the
rufians drew revolvers, shot Elsden dead
and fatally wounded Dickerson Escap.
ING from the crowd the Tielhorns ran up
the street to Dawson's tannery, where they
formerly worked, and called for Mr.. Mey
er, the foreman, who had discharged them
Not finding him they began an indiscrim'
mate firing upon those in the shop, which
resulted in killing John Abners, the us
sistant foreman, and wounding two others
The workmen turned upon their assailants
in body, and chased the murderers to the
river with stones and knives. The Tiel-
horns jumped into the water and attempted
to swim across, but were stoned to death
in the stream. Policeman Dickerson and
another of the wounded, named Fish
or, died subsequently, making seven deaths
in all. The most intense excitement pre-
vailed in the city, and the summary ven
geanee taken on the murdercrs was gener
ally approved Of
The bodies of two of the Tielhorns, who
committed the murders at Newark, New

Mr.. Styles Whiting, butcher of STRAIT
ford, Connecticut, and his nephew Jewell
aged Is years, having bought an OK in
Bridgeport on Tuesday last, started with
their horse and buggy to drive the OK to
Stratford. The clouds of thunder storm
hung in heavy black masses close to the
earth, and lightning played constantly
about their heads. After they had made
about half the distance there came sud-
den binding fash the clouds were all
afame, and Mr. Whiting fell unconscious.
When his consciousness returned he found
himself on his back in the road about ten
feet from the wagon. He arose and saw
his nephew about eight feet away, lying
still and scnseloss, and apparently dead,
He shook the boy roughly for several
minutes ere the latter recovered. Mr..
Whiting next went to the horse, which lay
on its side in the road bed in the place at
which the bolt had descended. With
great exertion Whiting and the boy
aroused the animal. Not twenty feet
away the OK was found on its side, seem
ingly dead. 1t finally covered, and the
party went on to Stratford. The strange
feature Of the accident is that neither the
man, the boy, the horse, nor the OK was
injured in the least.

A New Coal Region.

John j. Owens, geologst, who has been
on tour of inspection in st. Lawrencean
Franklin counties, n. Y, has discovered
superior quality of hard coal in a range of
mountains situate on the easterly side of
the st. Regis river in Franklin county. He
states that this coal bed is eight feet deep,
and he has succeeded in tracing the lead
over 81 miles. He has also discovered ex-
tensive beds of iron ore, copper, etc. The
development of these mines will be of in
calculable benefit to the business interests
of Northern New \ ork. The Pittsburgh
Repu5lcon Gays;
If true it is the most important piece of
news which has been published in North
ern New York during the last half century
for 1t Will not only result in bringing this
section TO the very front rank as an iron
manufacturing district, but will also upset
some geological principles which have here
tolore been considered to be as well estab-
lshed as the foundations of the earth it.
self For if geology teaches anything it is
that the native rock of this region is the
oldest of the secondary rocks, and was de-
posted ages before the coal measures were
IN existence, and the best geologists would
about as soon. believe that the law of gravi-
tation had been reversed as that any car
boniferous deposits had been discovered
mixed up with the Potsdam sandslones, the
limestone or the gneissoid rocks of this re-
gion. Further developments from John j.
Owens, geologist, will be awaited with
breathless suspense by iron manufacturers,
the Delaware and Hudson canal company,
and the scientific world generally. For In
case this wonderful intelligence proves true
the iron manufacturers will be pleased to
know that they have nm abundance of coal
right at their back doors, while the Della
ware and Hudson canal company will be
grieved to reflect that they have just ex-
pended some six or seven millions of dol
lars in constructing a railroad only to
"carry Goals to Newcastle, and the scien-
tifc world will be chagrined by the refiec-
ton that they have been building the fair

pendent, thirteen in ALL
Dudley 9. Denison voted in the mega

Eames and Seelye, republicans, and Bar
mum, Bell, Chaplin, Landers, Tarbox and
Thompson, democrats eleven in all
while Hale and Hoar, republicans, and
Jones, democrat, did not vote.
We believe that the votes of Colonel
Joyce and Governor Hendee were right, in
accordance With correct principles and the
wishes Of their constituents. The vote OF
Dudley G. Denison Is noticeable, tending,
as it does to explain his vote on the anti
third term resolution. 1t will be remem'
bered that when we took occasion 10 crlti-
else that vote, multitudes of anonymous
newspaper correspondents, and very Few
editors, rushed in with attempts to explain
that vote. The burden of their song was
that we were either "too shallow or too
inert" to " comprehend the point, or to
understand his great mind that IT was as
plain as n nose on mans face, that Deni-
son only believed that the congress had no
business to "resolve" about the matter
that it could only be reached by consti-
tutional amendment that when a PROPOSE
tion was made to limit the presidents
eligibility, we should find Denison correct
ly representing the sentiments of the
people of Vermont. Well, the time came,
the opportunity was offered, the propo-
sition was made, and We find Dudley C.
Denison voting against limit on the presi-
DENTAL torn, and against making him in
eligible to re-election-aud the majority Of
those who voted with him in favor of a
third term are now found at his side.
The third and last proposition was one
reported by majority of the committee
ON the judiciary as follows: "NOperson who

d" flee of president shall ever again be elgi-
"ble to said Office The same objections
which apply 10 the first proposition-that
of Mr.. Reagan-apply, in part at least,

The proposition ought to have been defeat
ed, but if the democracy had been anxiou:
for its success, it was in their power tc
pass it-they having two-thirds majority

comprised its defeat.
