Robbery.

The segar store of John G. McCabe, on
Third street, between Market and Shipley,
was entered and robbed on Saturday night
last about 10 o'clock.
The guilty persons are known, and for
certain reasons which We are unable to give,
were not sought after. When Mr.. McCabe
was closing up, which was about 12o'clock,
and aB they did not seem to be in 4 hurry to
60, Mr.. McCabe commenced fixing up for
the night and noticing one Of the party in
the rear part of his store asked him what
he was doing, he said that he was going to
close the shutters, but al will be seen here.
after, he failed to bolt 1t. This window ad.
Joined an area which lead from barber
shop fronting on Market street. The party
after leaving Mr.. McCabe, went through the
barber shop and entered the store through
the window which they had left unbolted.-
Being seem by some person In the barber
shop they instantly made of. Mr.. McCabe
was then notified and proceeded at once to
his store, where he found bis desk broken
open and the papers laying around the floor.
The only articles that were missing were
TWO memorandum books containing papers,
pipe and about one hundred segals. The
memorandum book was found this morn
ing by two men in ditch about two hun
dred yards above Shellpot Railroad bridge.
These men say that the papers ware not in
the ditch when they were passing along
the railroad ,as they were looking after rock
fish, and, therefore, examined the ditch
very closely. They are of the opinion that
they were thrown from the train which
passed down, shortly after they had left the
spot, on their way toward Edge Moor sta
tion.
On their return to town, and hearing of
the robbery of Mr.. McCabe's store and see
ing his name upon the papers they i'm
mediately returned them to the owner.

said he considered Midhat Pacha an able
and gifted statesmen, but somewhat addict
cd to drink. This, he believed, was the
direct cause of tho ex-Vizier's disgace. It
is probable, however, that Midhat Pacha
had personal differences with the Sultan,
but foreign influence must not be excluded
from among tho causes of his misfortune.
AN 1NcoRRuPTIsLE TURK.
The Chancellor highly praised the un-
blemtshable patriotic character of Eahem
Pacha, the new Grand Vizier, aud consider

He also remarked that the full significance
of the recent change of viziers was still un-
determinable.

INDIscREET GUESTS.
Prince Bismark is much irritated against
certain Deputies who indiscreetly disclosed
his confidential after dinner remarks. He
contradicts having said, as alleged, that
Russia was demanding subsidies from the
Powers in aid Of warlike operations against
Turkey.

OBJECTIONS TO THE DECISIONS.
After the reading of the decision the pre-
siding officer arose and asked whether there
was any objection to the decision.
Mr.. Field (dem.) of New York, then
arose and presented objections, which were
thereupon read by the Clerk of the House
as follows -
An objection is interposed by the under,
signed Senators and Representatives to tho
decision made by tho commission constitu-
ted by an act entitled can act to approve
and regulate the counting of the votes for
President and Vice President and the deci.
sion of questions arising thereon for the
term commencing March 4, 1871" as to the
legal electoral vote of Florida on the fol-
lowing grounds
First-That the decision determined that
the vote cast by Charles H. Pearce, Fred
erick G. Humphreys, William H. Holden,
and Thomas W. Long ss electors of Presi-
dent and Vice President of the United States
in and for or on behalf of the State of Flori-
da, is the true and legal electoral vote of
the said State when in truth and fact the
vote cast by Wilkinson Call, James E. Yon.
ge, Robert Z. Hilton and Robert Bullock,
IS the true and lawful vote of the said
State.
Second-For that said commission refused
to receive competent and material evidence,
tending to prove that Charles Fl. Pearce,
Frederick G. Humphreys, W. II. Holden
Thomas W. Long were not appointed elec-
tors in the manner prescribed by the Legis-
lature of the State of Florida, but were
designated as electors of the Returning
Board of said State corruptly and fraudu-
lently in disregard Of law and with the in
tention to defeat the will of the people, ex-
pressed in the choice of Wilkinson Call,
James R. Yonge, Robert E. Hilton and
Robert Bullock, who werelegally and regu-
larly appointed electors by the State of
in the monner prescribed by the
Legislature thereof.

morning can be got out alive. From
No. 2 pit 20 of the 1875 miners employed
in it have been saved, but all the rest
have persisted, so that altogether up
wards OF 200 men and boys have met their
death. AS already mentioned, ~ dead
bodies have been taken 10 the surface,
and further explorations reveal fearful
spectacle at the bottom of the shaft.
No fewer than 40 corpses still lie there
strewn in all direction within short
space, burned and mutilated 'beyond
recognition. 1t was deemed advisable
not to take these bodies to the pit-head,
although that might have been done'
but rather to continue the exertions be-
ing made to reach No. 8 pit.
The feeling produced over the coun-
try by the terrible catastrophe can
hardly be imagined. Soonafter the &C.
cident occurred the news had spread
over the whole of Scotland, but from the
yery destructiveness of its character in
the loss of life it was not credited.
Thousands of people crowded to the
scene of the explosion during the day,
and those who were observers of the
frantic grief displayed by the widows
and families of the miners will not soon
forget it. There is scarcely a household
in Blantyre in which there is not the
deepest mourning for lost relatives, and
the keenest sympathy is felt all over the
country for the bereaved.

ooh, We Tears"

Here is story illustrative of the fact
that tears are powerful weapon in the
hands of matrimonially inclined
modern Niobe:
There was Southern merchant, a
handsome, dashing fellow, who
astonished all his relatives few years
ago by marrying very plain girl, the
sister of his business partner. The mar
rage has turned over reasonably happy,
but it has always remained mystery to
the society bellies, who were ready to fall
into his arms at word. 1t was tears
(and not "idle tears'D that trapped
him. One evening he called at his part
ner's house and found only the young
lady at home. Very artfully she led the
conversation to her own affairs, and
told him that she was a perfect slave to
hersister, tyrannized over and ill-treated,
and that life had become such u burden
to her that she should rid herself of it
unless she could change her home. The
visitor tried to comfort her, but in vain.
Marriage was very far from his thoughts
then, and he had no love to give any
where. Niobe's tears fell faster and
faster, and at last they came in an hys-
terical torrent. His CALCULATIONS OF
sympathy were in vain, when she cried
ooh, where shall Igo? who will offer
me a homer" 81 would, if dared Of
fer it, poor GIRL" said the male victim,
and quick as lightning came the re-
sponse: "What would my sister say
if you married me?" What could the
man do under such circumstances? A
tolerably fair face was lying on his
bosom, pair of grateful, loving eyes
she did love him dearly-were looking
up into his own, and delicate little
hand had sought and found his. He did
what any disengaged gentleman would
have been likely to do, pressed his suit,
secured her unreluctant consent, in
formed her sister of it, married her, and
did his best to make her happy. She,
in her turn, made him good wife. Lit
tie by little he discovered her stratagem
but he never told his wife of it.

DEATH IN THE PIT.

The Horrible Disaster at the High Blan-
tyre CoIliery, Scotland, by Which $50
Lives were Lost.
From the London Telegraph, Oct. 23.l
The little colliery village of High
Blantyre, near Hamilton, to-day was
the scene of q most terrible colliery dis
aster. BY this catastrophe, unparalleled
in the history of Scotch mining, it is
reckoned that fully 200 lives have been
lost, though the number who have per-
ished can only be approximately deter
mined. This morning about O'Clock
the men employed at Messrs. Dixon's
collieries, High Blantyre, departed to
their usual work, 126 men descending
the shaft of the pit known as No. 2,
while 107 entered pit No. 8. Statutory
communication exists between these
pits, and it seems that before the disas-
ter occurred number of men were en-
gagged removing stoops in the splint of
the lower seam of No. pit. This OPP
Grafton j, always regarded as hazardous,
and il appears that, with culpable and
almost inexplicable recklessness, the
hands employed to-day made use of
naked lamps. While the men
were engaged in blasting in
the splint of No. , pit, about 9 O'Clock,
an appalling explosion of fire-damp oe-
Cured, which spent itself in the shaft
OF No. ; pit. The explosion was at
tended bv sound resembling the loud
est thunier, flames burst forth nj the
head OF the shaft of No. 5, and dense
volumes OF smoke rolled up from the,
entrance 10 pit No. ?. Fragments of
coal and timber and clouds of dus: were
then scattered around the heads of the
shafts. large quantities Of debris being
shot for 4 great height into the air.
The deafening sound of the explosion
Immediately attracted large crowd to
the scena.o the calamity, and with all
possible caerity relief gangs were or
gained. and every oIort was made TO
restore ventilation TO the mines An
hour. however, elapsed before air could
AGAIN lie admitted TO the pits, and all
