A Lawyers Bitter Experience.


About four weeks ago Willis M. Hatch
young lawyer of New Castle, who has
always borne an irreproachable charac-
ter for steadiness and sobriety, arrived
at Pittsburgh with nearly $4,000 of his
own money in his pocket to make some
purchases for farm he owns. He mys-
teriously disappeared in day or two,
and most vigorous search was made
for him by the detectives, aided by his
brother. He was finally found in New
Orleans in semi-demented condition,
bearing marks of extreme violence. He
was brought home day or two ago and
states that he was decoyed by woman
on Duquesne way to show her to the
Union depot, Pittsburgh, where he was
attacked by three men, who bound, gag
ged and chloroformed him and placed
him on train, they accompanying him.
After that he has little recollection of
what occurred until he found himself in
hospital in New Orleans. He was rob-
bed of everything but his gold watch,
which was brought to him in the hospi-
tai by boy.

Wholesale Indictment of Liquor Dealers.

MoRRIsTowN, N. j., October 1S.-The
grand jury of Morris county came into
court yesterday, after an unusually long
session, and presented fifty-four bills of
indictment, a large number being for
the illegal selling of liquor and beer.
Every known liquor seller in Norris
town has been indicted, and there is no
little excitement over the circumstance.
The common council had refused to re-
new any saloon licenses or to grant any
new ones, and also refused to license
two of the five hotels in the place. Most
of the saloons and the two hotels refer
red to continued to sell liquor or beer,
and have been indicted.

the white flag for the third time, and
through an interpreter, who advanced
toward his camp offered to surrender
provided they were allowed to keep their
arms.
General Miles sent word back that they
must surrender without any reserve, and
the battle was renewed. The white flag
was displayed again OH the fifth and
last day of the engagement, when Jo-
seph appeared in front of his lines, and
advanced to meet Miles, to whom he
rendered his guns. He was followed by
sixty warriors, who also turned over
their arms and shook hands with Gen
eral Miles as they passed. When the
troops entered the enemy's pits they
found forty warriors disabled by wounds.

long-mooted question of the Speakership
draws its mantle of mystery more and
more closely about Il and wild ooujecturings
on the subject grow wilder still and more
numerous. The last is TO the effect that
when the moment OF trial comes, down
will swoop an Administration Southern
Democrat, for whom the Administration
has long been on "still hunt" with q
rush that will sweep away all obstacles and
opposition, and capture the coveted prize
and with it the organization Of the House.
Scores Of Congressman have already ar
rived in the city and President Hayes is the
daily recipient of congratulations regard
ing his pacification policy from Democratic
members who call upon him and assure
him Of their support and cooperation
While considering this speakership sub
ject, wonder If the time will ever co me
when that Office will get to be other than
matter of trade. It is "only that and
nothing more' now. The candidate who
is sharpest in trade and does the most of it,
wins The Speaker has no less than fort y
six committees to appoint, and the same
number of Chairmanships. The man who
can trade the most of the Offices off for
votes will be the successful one. The
minor offices of the House come to the sup
port of the large one. Each aspirant for
Sergeant-at-A Arms, Clerk, Doorkeeper, has
his particular adherents, who will vote for
the man for Speaker who will exchange
support.
Weddings are beginning to be frequent,
being of daily occurrence last week. In
fact, October, is, to all intents and pur-
poses, the beginning of the year in Wash
ington. Everything is just commencing,
from the organization of schools, series of
meetings and entertainments of all sorts, to
renting houses, beginning new accounts,
and reading the Bible through. Star
gazing goes on to very considerable ex-
tent. The Observatory is situated in the
suburbs of the city and is approached by a
woody lane, thus affording pleasant
walk, and it is nightly visited by many who
take this opportunity of seeing telescopic-
ly the rare planetary combination now visi-
BILE in our sky. The moons of Mars are Of
course the subject of most comment just
now in Astronomical circles. Prof. Hall is
a happy man in his discovery, but no more
happy than his wife who "put him up to
it." ADAMS.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, DC, Oct. 10th, 1877.
Autumn weather appears really to have
set in. The mornings and evenings are
quite chilly, though it is still warm at mid
day. Our Indian summer is yet to come
and we always see week or two of warm
bright sunny weather in November. The
Line Gale' burst upon us last Thursday in
all its fury, and great was the damage done
thereby. Roofs and trees chimneys and
sewers were demolished but the greatest
loss occasioned by it was in the still roofess
Patent Office. The rain poured in in
sheets and floods almost, and the water
forced its way into the apartments below
the burnt part, deluging desks, papers and
everything. 1t has been repeatedly stated
that the damage done by the water is as
great as that by the fire, but that can hard
ly be possible, although many thousand
dollars worth of valuable papers, records,
&C., were destroyed. The fire occur
red two weeks ago yesterday and the roof
that was burnt away is still unreplaced.-
The permanent roof cannot be constructed
until Congress makes an appropriation for
that purpose, but a temporary one will now
be commenced within day or two.
The Indians arrived here on the same
day also, and spent ten days at the Capital,
going home by way of New York. After
their arrival there they donned the citizens
clothes that the President gave them (ready
made suits, of rough coarse cloth), and
went out to spend their money (the Presi-
dent gave them $40 each, with which to
buy presents for their familes) Natural
ly the most snowy articles of dress at
tracted them, and they loaded themselves
down with cheap and fashy shawls, scarfs,
calicoes, tinsel jewelry, metallic belts, &c.
Each bought hand satchel also, and Lit
tie Big Man INDUCED his fancy by pur-
chasing miniature Saratoga trunk.
The season, socially speaking, will not
begin for many weeks yet, but as the days
go by and the famous 18th draws near, the
city grows lively with numerous important
arrivals and with the bustling air of prep
aration that is evident on all sides. The

The Fall Elections.

Elections for State officers and men,
bers of the Legislature were held Tues
day in Ohio and Iowa, and the vote in
both States appears to have been lighter
than usual.
In Ohio there were six tickets in the
field, namely; Republican, Democratic,
Greenback, Prohibition, and two Work
ing Mems. The returns received show
considerable Democratic gains and cor
respondingly large Republican losses.
The Working Men polled much larger
vote than was expected. The general
indications point to the success of the
entire Democratic State ticket by ma
jority ranging from $4,000 to $4,000. The
Legislature is Democratic in both
branches.
In Iowa four State tickets were voted
for-Republican, Democratic, Greenback
and Prohibition. The weather was
rainy and the vote was light. The re-
turns indicate that the Republicans
have swept the State by majority of
not less than $4,000. The Legislature is
Republican in both branches.
s
FORT BENTON, Montana, October s.,
via HELENA, October GA courier ar
rived from General Miles battle field
one hour ago, bringing the intelligence
that Joseph with his band had surren-
dered.
The capitulation occurred at 2 o'clock
P. M. on the 5th inst. The savages gave
up their guns and ammunition, passing
in solemn review before General Miles,
and accepting an unconditional surren-
der.
The troops at once occupied the Indian
intrenchments, and the first cictory over
the Indians for two years was signalized.
In the charge upon the Indian camp
the first day sixty-four officers and men
were killed and wounded. After the
camp had been surrendered, and the
soldiers had secured defensive positions,
only four casualties occurred. The SOL
diers closed in upon the savages slowly
but surely after the first day, all the
time extending their line of rifle pits. 1t
was the purpose of General Miles to lose
no more men in the attack.
How admirably the plan succeeded is
already known. On the last day of the
fight the troops had succeeded in secur-
inga position which commanded the
stream which flowed in front of the rifle
pits occupied by the Indians, and had
the battle lasted another day their sup
ply of water would have been cut off
and surrender become imperative. On
the fourth day of the fight Joseph raised

STRONG arms and hempen ropes seem
to be wanting along the line of the Penn
sylvania Coal Company, in Luzerne CO.,
to summarily stop the outrages commit
ted by the strikers. When honest men
go to work, the vagabonds and miscre-
ants who refuse to work interfere and
stop the running of coal trains by burn
ing bridges. AT Spring Rock, last Mon
day morning they fired the trestles of
the gravity track and checked for the
time the shipping of coal to New York.
Naturally there is much excitement and
bitter feeling among the employees of
the Company, and if the local authori-
ties do not take means to prevent repe-
tition of these incendiary acts, it is very
probable that they will resort to steps
that will be effectual, as regards the
future of some of the villains.
