A THIEyING CANE ENDED.
THE DELAWARE, LACkAwANNA AND WESTERN
RAILROAD ROBBERS ARRESTED.

| RAILROAD ROBBERS ARRESTED.
A month ago the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Western railroad company employed Mr.
| Stephen Skinner, of the National detective
agency, to discover and arrest the men who
for over a year have been robbing the road
of property valued at thousands Of dollars.
They had used all and every means at their
command III the possession of their en-
ployees to discover the thieves, but were un-
| able to obtain even the slightest clue to them.
About a year ago the burning of car on
| the read disclosed the fact that 1t and almost
every car at Dover had been stripped of its
| JS,.rlials. This robbery was followed by
Others, until finally it became a matter of
surprise among the examiners ii they found
any car with its running gear intact. A few
nights after the arrival of Mr.. Skinner and
his men they noticed gang Of men stealth
lily passing down the road toward the COM
pany's works. Following them they saw
them get to work to remove the journals.
OFF from the road was truck. As each box
was removed from its axle it was thrown
INTO the vehicle On the approach of the
officers an outpost gave 4 signal and the men
fled. But so hurried was their departure
that they lett behind them a large hydraulic
jack, the wagon and coat. In the coat was
found a letter, a pair of knuckles and
Murphyis temperance badge. The letter was
most important one, IS it gave the names
of the men interested in the robbery, it hay.
ing been written by go-betwcen to one Of
the gang introducing a New York dealer in
metals.
HOW THEY WERE CAUGHT.
Following up the elew thus obtained the
detectives visited Cornish boarding house
at No. 10 State street, this city. They de-
sired men for a brewery In Jersey City.
Among those solicited for employment was
Charles Watson, who on his passing over the
river was quietly informed that he was want
ed at Dover The man was dumbfounded.
Recovering from his amazement he, on be-
ing informed of the letter, expressed desire
to tell all he knew about the robbery. Among
those whom lie numbered as members Of the
gang was the notorious Barney Mulvey, who,
he said, had gone to Albany to his brother
in-law's house. Mr.. William Story, of New.
ton, late of Dover, and James Irvey, Jr, Of
Dover, were also mentioned These two last
named persons, however, We're discharged
from custody at the preliminary examination.
TIE names of well known and wealthy resi-
dents of Dover were also given by Watson.
Their names and the evidence which con-
meets them with Watson and Mulvey have
been presented to the grand jury. Accord
ing to his story this gang during the past
year have robbed the company of over thirty
tons OF brass journals, worth at least thirty
five cents pound Watson, who is an ex-
convict, desires to turn against his pals,
promising to give information which will
show how deep laid were the plans of the
gang, which he AYERS numbers among its
members some of the most respectable peo-
pie In the town.

IF President Hayes has been led to be-

in many cases into open mutiny.

DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAN in the right side, under the edge
of the ribs, increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the leftside; the
patient is rarely able to lie on the left
side; sometimes the pain is felt under
the shoulder-blade, and it frequently ex-
tends to the top of the shoulder, and is
sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected with
loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels
in general are costive, sometimes alterna-
tive with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with dull, heavy
sensation in the back part. There is
generally aConsiderable loss ofmemory,
accompanied with a painful sensation of
having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight, dry
cough is sometimes an attendant. The
patient complains of WEAKNESS and de-
bility; he is easily startled, his feet are
cold or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits
are low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred wherefew ofthem existed,
vet examination of the body, after death,
has shown the LIVER to have been ex-
tensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.

No president can break up the two old

the proper machinery is put in force to
have nucleus formed in every nook and

work OF spontaneity-or, if it is, it demon
alizes itself into mob, as it has no direct

could not have selected more Incompetent

Hayes has OVERTHROW the old leaders of
his own party, and they will prosecute
their work independent of him, and he will
find that Mr.. Morton stated philosophical
truth when be said that president cannot
run this government upon higher plane
than that formed by his party, for he must
look TO a party for support. And if he
does get that support from his original

From The RnD0oT Wbi0

If the Republicans Of the country can
sanction policy which accomplishes the
violation of good faith, the reputation
of party principles and the notification Of
constitutional requirements by methods
of such a character as those by which the
lawful government Of Louisiana has been
sought, then, indeed, we have fallen upon
evil times. If protest against the con-
summation of this outrage does not go up
from every loyal state in the union, then,
indeed, shall we be prepared to believe
that the noblest sentiments of our people
have been but as sounding brass and
tinkling cymbals," that the war for ma
tional supremacy was failure, and that
we have started upon a course of reaction
which will not be arrested until every

THE KEY NOTE STRUCK BY BLAINE.

From TIE BUrEsRQton Gazette
The vulnerable pointof President Hayes
is his tainted title to the presidency. This
fact his Republican haters understand and
evidently intend to profit by. The large
and influential element of the party which
regards bis southern policy as base sur
render to the rebels and betrayal Of the
blacks, wreaks its easy revenge on Mr..
Hayes by reminding him by what route
he reached the White House. The key
mite of the Republican chorus, now rapidly
gaining volume. was struck by Blaine
when he said in the senate: 'Discredit
Packard and you discredit Hayes. You
hold that Packard is not the legal governor
of Louisiana and President Hayes has nc
title, ard the honored vice president who
presides oyer our deliberations has no title
to his chair. a

THE PUBLIC CONSCIENCE AROUSED.

From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
We believe most firmly and conscien-
tiously that this policy-the old Wing pol
icy-must be stopped at once and forever.
Else national bankruptcy and ruin; else
the Shiny flow of corruption 10 an increas-
ing current; else we shall seek in vain to
maintain the integrity of republican insti
tutions; else financial palsy, individual as
well as national; else the continued degra
dalton, the ultimate death of the republic.
We believe also most fully that the people
have said halt! to this policy; that they
mean to have no more of it, that it goads
their memories and inspires their resolu-
tons; that they know that national honor
and national safety are only to be found III
q supreme devotion to the most rigid econ
omy in administration and an uncompro.
missing hostility to all schemes for filching
the treasury for the benefit Of individuals,
OF even for the assumed development OF
states. The public mind is infamed upon
this subject. The people have passed
through a sorrOwful experience. They
dread its REPETITION. That party which
shall make internal Improvement" its
slogan will meet with defeat more dIsas-
trous than any hitherto recorded in politi-
cal annals. The public conscience is
aroused, as well as the public fear.

was placed at once 10 the hands of the
Democratic lieutenant governor, who &C.

BLATNE'S ORGAN ON HAYES'S POLICY
From the ReHne6ec Journal.

From the Kenne6sc Journal
The crack of the bulldozer's whip re-
sounds louder and fercer than ever since
Chamberlain yielded. Every step gained
by his opponents has served to increase
the arrogance of the southern Democracy.
Notwithstanding his pledges await the
decisions of the courts in regard to the
state officers holding their positions under
Chamberlain, the usurper Hampton has
turned them out and sealed the doors OF
their Offices against them. Little cares
he or his fellow bulldozers for his promises
to President Hayes, whose confidence
they so outrageously abuse. Hampton
never intended to keep his pledges.
Bound to the purpose of extingnishing
Republicanism in the state through the
power attained by control of the state
government, he will go on step by step fol-
the consummation of the plans necessary
to accomplish his object, paying no regard
whatever to the promises he breaks.
