LUCIUs d. ROBINSON, the latest nomi-
nee of the Democracy for Governor of
New York, is spoken of as man of fair
character and abilities. AS politician
he has had a rather chequered expert
ence. He is a man now sixty-siX years
OF age. His early education was limited
to the common school course OF his
youthful days. He studied law and prac-
ticeG his profession with average sue
cess. His first appearance in political
life was in 1859. Up to 1856 he had been
a steady Democrat. But in 1857 he be-
came a Republican, and two years later,
in 1859, the Republicans oil ChemunG
County, where he resided, made him
their candidate for the Legislature, and
elected him. And they reelected him
in 1851. In the fall of the same year he
was the Republican candidate on the
State ticket for Controller, and was
elected. Two years later, in 1868, the
Republicans again elected him Con.
troller over Sanford E. Church. In 1865,
having rejoined the Democratic party,
he was nominated by that party for Con-
troller, and was defeated. Since that
time he has not been conspicuous in po.
ltioal lie until last year, 1875, when he
was again nominated for Controller on
the Democratic ticket, and was elected
to the place which he now holds.

Killed at a Flash,

The Hannibal ONO. Courier narrates
the following: The rain and thunder
stolm here yesterday evening, about
O'Clock, was the heaviest of the season.
Miss CLARA Baker, a daughter or Dwight
Baker. Il bridge builder, had, previous to
the storm been on visit to her grand
mother, Mrs. Smith, who resides just
this side of the railroad track, In Doug
lasville, on the Illinois side of the river.
She was coming from her grand.
mothers to the terry boat, which was ly-
ing at the east landing, when the storm
overlook her. She .endeayored to pro-
lect herself from the rain by an umbrella
| with u steel stick. She WAS in full view
of some Of The persons on and at the fer
ryboat. A flash of lightning brilliantly
| Illuminated the heavens, binding and
shocking all in the vicinity. When those
| in view recovered their sight the young
girl who had been seen coming toward
| the boat was discovered lying upon the
ground motionless and apparently life-
| less.
Several persons fastened to the spot,
and, though they could discover mo
marks upon her person, except u small
cut in the forehead, inflicted by her TALL
upon a stone, she Was liieless. Tine
electricity, it seems, had followed down
the steel stick OF the umbrella, and
tnence down the body OF the girl, and,
while no marks were left on her person,
it mad torn the shoes from her feet, anu
rending them into fragments had taken
them several inches into the ground in a
hole which The subtle fluid had dug.
The body OF the unfortunate girl was
taken to The residence Of her grand
mother, where, upon an examination,
| the fact was revealed that Lhe collar
| bone was not only dislocated but seems
to have been driven down into the body.
The umbrella WAS torn into shreds and
somewhat seprched. TAe clothing was
also slightly burned. A steel buckle,
which lastened the belt around heI
waist, disappeared and could nowhere
be found, aAd had probably been buried
in the ground Or thrown OF TO some dis.
| tance.
The deceased was fourteen years OF
| age, and is said to have been an estim.
| able girl.

The Crown Prince of Holland.

The Amsterdam correspondent Of the
Pail Mall Gazette writes: For some
time there has been much talk aboutthe
conduct of the Crown Prince. lie lives
in Paris, his palace in the Hague is
closed, and all endeaVors to induce him
to return 70 the Hague have failed. The
Prince prefers to amuse. himselfin Paris,
instead of performing his duties as the
first su Ject OF his royal father. This
behavior has created much discomfort
but TIL now silence has been pre-
served on the subject. TO the great
surprise OF every one, however, Mr..
Mock, well-kuUWn COnserva-
tive politician, the other day,
in proposing a toast at dinner, openly
reproacned tue Pfince for going into
voluntary exile, and lor spending on the
BOuleVards the time whicu ought to be
given to his country, over which he will
perhaps once reign as William lV. Mr.
Mock iurther expressed his regret that
the Crown Prince had not yet gwen the
nation the opportunity to welcome a
Crown Princess. This speech and its
publication in full i'll the Conservative
Dagblad created great sensation. All
the Liberal papers are cOndemning MIR.

w. Vreede, OF the Utrecht University,
applauds the speech and ADDS: "Ir the

which were spoken at banquet, it will
become necessary that more emphatic
language should proceed from the
benches Of the Chamber Of Representa-.

A Widows Might.

A New Yorker writes this: One of the
most singular marriages of the year was
consummated in this city on Monday
morning, and the bride and bridegroom
are now enjoying tho sweets of the Sar
atoga waters. The gentleman was OF
the ripe age of sixty.two. and the bride
blushIng widow of tWenty-eight; but
it was not In this that the singu Iarity of
the marriage consisted. The newly
made husband has been widower for
thirty years, and is the father OF two
grown daughters, both married and the
mothers of brood OF children.
The father lived with one of them, and, ,
being the possessor of valuable Broad
way property and other real estate (his
wealth being estimated at $500, 0,000), the
prospective division Of his ducais be-
tween the two daughters seems to have
been considered one of the certainties
Of the future. The idea of his ever mar
rying again was regarded as preposter-
GUS; but the old gentleman sWore by all
| the gods In the calendar that If ever he
ceased to love, ''may be d." Last
spring he met fascinating widow, who
took in the situation and the widower at
a glance. Bhe comprehended the oppo-
| sition of the daughters, and kept out OF
their sight.
| Ine laJner also avoided tne 0DserVa-
ton of his children until one day. one OF
them met him in Central Park with the
widow. In the meantime a marriage
had been suggested and accepted, and a
proposal for secret nuptial service
adopted. One OF the daughters heard OF
it, and, with the assistance Of friends,
actually abducted the father. For three
| weeks the widow hunted for him In
vain. but at last discovered his where.

The Coal Oil Imbroglio.

The railroads of Pennsylvania are
manifesting intense hostility towards
the Seaboard Pipe Line for the transpor-
tation of coal oal to the Atlantic cities.
The displacement Of Diana of Ephesus
could not have been more tiercely re-
sisted by the Ephesians, whose gains
were at stake, than is this conduit mode
OF sending petroleum from the wells to a
market without the use of railroads, re-
sisted by the railroad companies. Their
great gains are at stake. For transport
ing oil they have been paid, it is as
serted, about eighty millions of dollars.
But it is also asserted that this is but
a moderate proportion OF the gains de-
rived by railroad officials from the
oil trade. In their capacity
OF railroad managers they have
exerted a controlling power over the
whole oil business, and have made for
themselves, not for their railway CON-
panies, by the formation of rings, more
money than their companies have re-
ceived. The ring of railroad officials
have secured to themselves monopoly
of the refining business, and own nearly
all the oil refneries of the country; and
consequently dictate to the producers
the price of crude oil, by having com
mand OF both the carrying and the refn-
ing branches of the trade. 1t is stated
that the profits of this ''ring' have
amounted to $4,000 per day. And these
"great gains" they are 10th to lose, as
they are likely to do under the new con-
duit system Of transportation. For, il
once the producers can become inde-
pendent of the railroads for transporta-
zion, the refinery monopoly tumble
with the overthrow Of the railroad mo-
nopoly, and the 'ring' is broken al
once. And over this the contest now
RACES up among the Alleghenies.
The line Of pipe Of one conduit com.
pany in Pennsylvania intersected the
line of certain railroad. Application
was made to effect crossing of the
pipe, either over or under the railway
track, as the railroad company might
prefer, and in such manner as to cause
NO Inconvenience to the track. The
railread company positively refused to
grant permission to pass its track in
any manner, and enforced its refusal
with armed violence. 1t then sought
perpetual injunction against the pipe
company, and so 1t hangs. Meanwhile
the pipe company send their oil to a
receiving tank on one side Of the rail-
road track, and thence haul it by pub.
lie highway to another tank on the other
side of the track; the railroad forming
barrier that can not be passed, except
by a public highway that the railroad
company can not control.
But that kind o. thing will never
answer in this country. Railroads may
be very good things and useful to the
public interests. But such companies
donot quite own this country yet. They
had better accept admonition, and con
fsne themselves closely to their func
tions and duties, or the hand OF legisla
tion, which created them, may be lait
upon them in chastisement and rebuke
The world is now interested in the pro
auction and price Of petroleum; M
monopolies over either the price or thu
production Of that great staple will nov
be permitted.
