BLOCK SIGNALS,
a NEW DEVICE FOR HAILINa TRAINS.

NEW DEVICE FOR HAILING TRAINS.
The block signals on the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad are being improved
upon. A Pittsburg paper says :
ainstead of the color signals, which
ane liable to be mistaken in certain
conditions of the atmosphere, a new
signal has. been devised, consisting
of two horizontal arms, made of iron,
perforated with large holes to allow
the wind to pass through, and erect
ed on a high post just outside the
signal tower window. The upper
arm governs eastbound trains, the
lower one westbound trains. When
the arm is horizontal it indicates red
or black IA full stop).
When it is elevated at an angle
of forty-fve degrees, denotes green,
which means caution. When the
arm is vertical, it indicates white, or
a clear track. At night time there
are to be colored lights-red, green
aad white, which move with the arm
to the different positions. The new
signal has been placed in position at
Shady Side station, and at one or two
Oh the middle and eastern
divisions. As yet, it is only regard
ed as an experiment, but from what
has been developed already, it will
probably be adopted by the entire
road

The great interest which the
Prince of Wales takes in the Expo
sition of 1878 seems be only part
of his general sympathy with French
affairs and Partisan life. If the repu-
ted antipathy of the Czarovitch for
Germany is worth noting as toke n
of the European politics of the fu-
ture, surely not less so is Prince
Albert Edwards liking for France.
But in truth there is little reason to
forecast his very soon sitting on TIE
throne. Victoria bids fair to outreign
not only Elizabeth, but even George
III. She was but So years old on
the 29th of May, she is well and
vigorous, and the heir apparent is
very likely to wait for his sceptre un-
til he has passed middle age.

CATTLE THIEVES KILLED.

Cattle owners and herders in Kan

thefts of cattle during the past sum-

rounded them while at supper in the

killed seven of them before they could
resist, hanged another to a tree and
recovered all the cattle. Nnone of the

The rfUdtny Of the AngldiSe County Ring
Exposed.
CINCINNATI, September 27.-The peo-
pie of Anglaise county are greatly excl
ted to-day over the disclosures of ex-
County Treasurer Myers, who was re-
Gently arrested on the suspicion of being
at the bottom of the robbing of the coun-
ty safe in August. Myers, finding that
the other mem bers of the county ring had
told facts impl cating, him, last night de-
termined to make a clean breast of it,
which he did in the Jail at Wapakoneta
According to his story, twelve or fifteen
made free use of the public funds.
On one occasion county Auditor Smith
took 81 900 out of the safe without saying
a word to anyone and never returned it,
About nine months ago it became evil
dent that the defalcatien was becoming
too large and the robbery was determin-
ed upon. Myers was taken to the court
house ut midnight, gagged and actually
tortured with fire, and left for the clti-
Zens to discover in the morning All
that was left in the safe, S12, 900, was
taken out in this pretended robbery. The
sums previously distracted amounted to
about $50, 600 On the strength of NJ yer's
disclosures several prominent citizens
have been arrested. Smiths house was
searched, in accordance with the sug-
gestion of Myers, and nearly two thou
sand dollars found under the carpet,
which is probably all taxpayers will ev-
er recover of the booty of the ring.

FENsELEss GIRL. $1,000 .,-.-.,-
On last Tuesday afternoon week,
during the absence of Mrs. Bickta, a
drunken rowdy named Glenn, living in
the corner of Fifth and Adams street and
acted in very violent manner. AT the
time spoken Of no one was home but the
daughter of Mrs. Bickta, who was unable
to cope with the infuriated man. After
calling for glass ofbeer and after drink
ing it, he became very violent, and broke
up several chairs, and upon the young
lady demonstrating with him he struck
her twice in the breast, and would have
checked her but she escaped from his
clutches and called for help,
Her cry was answered by one of the
peighbors, bpt as he arrived In the saloon
he was caught by the iniufiated man, who
seemed TO be perfectly crazy with drink,
and was slmost ehoked to death. Miss
Bckta continued ber cries, which were
answered q by several OF the brewers, en-
ployed at the Desmond State Brewery, who
rushed to her assistance and eventually sue
ceeded in getting the man out, but not
without giving him q severe drubblng.
After he was thrust into the street he pro-
cured a couple Of bricks, and followed up
the brewers, hurting The missiles at them.
Not satisfied with what be had done he
entered suit against them, and yesterday
afternoon Fred Sticher, Max Leioner, and

ling. Soaring OF into the realms OF

Of an astronomical disquisition, from a
standpoint on Olympan heights sublime;
but the promise proved to be only an
innocent ruse, to strike the fancy of his
hearers with startling contrast, for
plucking the feathers from the wings OF
his Imagination, he descended arrow
like to mother earth, and Immediately
roceeded to pay homage to that patron
saint, '.Mother Goose" For nearly an
hour he held his audience animated ia
turns byhis sparkling wit and the keen
ness Of his philosophical acuemen. Ad-
dressing himself to his "fellow goslings,"
he selected choice passages from those ia
miliar melodies, and played upon the ris-
bles Of his audience with sucn happy ef-
feet, that not even the sanctity associated
with the church edifce, could proven.
laughter and the occasional clapping of
hands. The lecture is the rarest liter
airy production of the kind we ever
heard, and you'd bear repetition before
the literati Of the Eastern states, or Of
any country where the melodies Of
Mother Goose are familiar. His audi.
ence. numbering about sixty-fve, was
of the appreciative class. The receipts
Of the evening are to aid the Library

The Valley Virginian. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1865-1895, 1877-04-26
"Gen. Tucker"

Under this caption the Washington cores
pondent of the Philadelphia North american
of the 9TH inst, has the following:
This renowned Democratic congressman
from Virginia, who was looked upon in the
last House as very Cicero, is here arguing
before the Supreme Court very interesting
case, in which he ian ex-Confederate soldier
is singularly placed. 1t seems that Virginia,
when in rebellion, passed law for her
courts to order and authorize all trustees and
executors to place their funds in Confederate
bonds and other securities, etc. He is on
the side Of certain parties in Philadelphia
who sued a trustee for the amount he inves-
ted in said securities, etc., the parties suing
being then, as now, residents of Pennsyl-
yania, etc., and in no wise under the rule or
law of the Confederate States, etc. The in
vestment, of course. is worthless, and the
point is to compel the trustee to pay up, etc.
General Tucker argued the case for three
hours yesterday, and made many good points
against his old government, for which he SO
bravely fought. A lawyer. he says, is only
ON the side of his ''fee."
This is a slight mistake. Mr.. Tucker was
Attorney General of Virginia during the late
unpleasantness, and not engaged in ''setting
squadrons in the field.'' His sympathies
were ardently Southwark. but his duties in
the position he held, prevented him from in.
dulging In any military feats, had his lncli.
nation lead him in that direction.
