Thought He was SwindIed.

Marriage is to great extent an unknown
ceremony among the canal population of
England, and deplorable revelations of the
social state in which this much neglected
class live are sometimes the result. One
such revelation was recently made at the
Rencorn Police Court. A boatman named
Darlington "bought" for 1Ss. Sarah Ty-
rer, who lived with John Taylor another
boatman, as his wife. The woman con-
tentedly took up her abode with her new
lord, and received sum of money from
him for family expenses. Returning next
day to her former floating home, to fetch
away her wardrobe, she found Taylor dis
consulate, and elected to remain with him.
Darlington was naturally furious over his
threefol6 loss-the purchase money which
he had paid, the article purchased, and the
amount which he had handed over to the
new mistress of his cabin. He accordingly
appeared before the Runcorn magistrates
and unfolded the tale of his wrongs, but
could get no redress.

Governor Hendricks Last Oaioial Act.

"Tell Governor Hendricks for me that

was the message sent through the Warden
of the Indiana State Prison by Buck Nc
Kinney, who had been prisoner for nine
teen years, and whose pardon was the last
official act Of Mr.. Hendricks as Governor.
Over twenty years ago Mckinney fired a
pistol ball at one man, missed him, ard
killed another. For.this he was sentenced
TO imprisonment for life. He studied so
much ON the subject Of his release that he
became monomaniac. He and Mr.. Hen

Plot to pitch Passenger Train for Booty.


The Omaha Bee says, A reporter of
the Bee this morning learned from sever
al railroad men that the Chicago and
Northwestern passenger train, which left
Omaha for Chicago Saturday afternoon,
had been marked for plumber by train rob
bers near Ames, Iowa, but that the intend
ed job was frustrated by the timely inter-
ference of a detective, who was cognizant
of the plan of the thieves.
1t appears that freight trains of this
road have been robbed to considerable
extent near Alnes for the last two months,
and the company was unable to put a stop
to it. So detective from Chicago was
employed to ferret out the thieves. Near
Ames there is very long and steep grade,
up which the freight trains go very slowly,
so (as it has since been ascertained) the
thieves could easily run alongside the cars
and with hammers break the locks of the
doors, and thus enter the cars and throw off
merchandise.
The detective worked himself in with
the thieves, and became one of them for
the time being. lie found the gang to
consist of three strangers and two boys,
sons of farmers living in the vicinity. The
three men had been hanging around Ames
for about three months, and had got into
the confidence of the boys whom they roped
into their schemes. After the detective
had worked with the thieves for a short
time they became avaricious and wanted
to make bigger haul than they were get
ting by plundering freight trains, so they
determined to ditch and rob passenger
train, and last Saturday night was set for
.'the time.
They were to throw the train from the
track, saturate the cars with kerosene, and
set them on fire, and use chloroform upon
passengers where they could do SO to ad-
vantage. They also intended to murder
the express messenger and rob the express
car. They were on the ground prepared to
carry out their plans, when body of men,
who had been instructed by the detective,
surprised and captured the whole outfit
and the passenger train passed on its way
without any of the passengers being aware
of the danger that had threatened them
We have heard nothing officially of this
transaction, but as the information comes
! from railroad men, and from some of the
employees of the Chicago and North
western railroad, we are inclined to credit
sit.
