A Desperate Fight with Burglars.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 26.-Depot Mar
shal Manning received a telegram from
conductor Billy Smith, of the l., c. &
L., that three desperadoes, believed to be
the murderers of Kunkel, the Cincinnati
policeman, had boarded his train at Val
ley Junction, eighteen miles this side of
Cincinnati.
Manning met the incoming train at
New London, sixteen miles out, and
from look at the men satisfied himself
that Smiths suspicious were not un-
founded. He accordingly determined to
wait until their arrival in the city at
noon, then to summon aid and arrest
them. They smelled rat, however,
and when the train stopped at the yards
just east of the city, they started for the
door, Manning met them at the en-
trance and tapped one of them on the
shoulder, remarking: You are my
prisoner"
The trio whipped out revolvers and
opened fire instantly. The frightened
passengers commenced tearing up the
seats and using them for barricades. The
shooting continuing, Manning closed
with one of the cut-throats and forced
him to the other end of the car, where
he knocked him under a seat. His COM
rades finding one Of their number in
trouble returned, and clearing the car,
went to his assistance. One of them
held two enormous revolvers under
Manning's nose and ordered him to
stand back against the door. The Mar
shall looked into the muzzles of the MUIR
derous guns, which looked to him as
large as cannons, and acquiesced.
The men then retreated, and on get
ting out of the car, started rapidly south.
They had the luck to intercept an Ir-
vington horse car, which they captured,
and clearing it of passengers compelled
the driver to put his mule to the top of
his speed, and made for Irvington. In
this way they escaped, and Manning re-
turned to indianapolis to notify the
authorities of his battle. Fortunately
no one was hurt in the interchange of
shots, though not less than thirty We're
fired. Manning took hand in the
shooting, but the emergency was too
much for him, and his bullets flew wild.

Curious Incident.


Mr. Andrew Wertzberger, a brakeman
on the Pittsburgh division, and residing
on Fifth avenue, has had quite curious
experience with piece of iron. Some
five years ago while hammering a wedge
of iron, spawl from the same entered
the flesh of one of his arms. Neither
the wound nor the foreign substance
gave him any serious pain or incon-
venience, and the circumstance was
dropped from his memory. The other
day while returning to this city on his
train he felt sharp, pricking sensation
in one of his great toes. On reaching
his home, he made careful investiga-
ton into the cause of the unusual pain
and extracted the identical piece of iron
that entered his arm nearly five years
ago. The metallic wanderer was about
one inch in length and of the thickness
of needle. 1t had about as much
trouble and, in proportion, duration, to
get out of Wertzberger's body, as the
children of Israel had out of the wilder
ness.-AHoond Tribune.

pieces are made every year In order to
keep up the history of the coin. About
$4,000 of ones are made annually for the
same purpose.
The Mint shipped over the country In
1876 about $500, 600 in small coins, con-
sisting of one, three and five cent pieces.
They went chiefly west and east. In
1877 only about $3s6,000 in these small
coins were shipped.
The greatest demand for silver coins is
for the half dollar. The quarter dollar
is the second favorite and the dime is
the third and last in the list. The de-
mand for half dollars is twice as great
as for quarters, and five times more
halves are required than dimes.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 81, 1878.
Francis Murphy began his lectures in

Hall. This is the largest Hall in Wash

its utmost capacity almost as many leaving

not an intellectual head and face. His
Uranium is small and round, his eyes deep
set and his lower jaw heavy but his is a
regular Irish heart, full to the brim of wit
and feeling. think one of the secrets of
success in moving his audiences is that he
is himself deeply moved as he talks of that
which is nearest his heart. Genuine tears
roll down his cheeks and he sobs from very
fullness of emotion as he talks. For in
stance, nothing could exceed the pathos of
his voice and manner as he said people say

Another Steamer Wrecked - Two Hundred
Lives Lost.


NORFOLK, Va, January 3l.-At $3.50
this afternoon the steamship Metropolis,
from Philadelphia for Para, Brazil, went
ashore on Currituck beach, three miles
South of the light house. during the
prevalence of a furious Southeast gale
Great confusion prevailed on board
Owing to the fury of the gale and the
roaring of the surf the orders of the Of
ficers could not be heard. About fifty of
the passengers and crew were washed
ashore. About two hundred are be-
leved to be lost. From some of the
sailors who arrived at one of the signal
stations it appears that the vessel had
encountered heavy gales from the South
east for the last twenty-four hours
When she struck she was heading about
South-southest. The vessel swung
broadsde to the surf, which made a
complete break over her and washed
many of the people overheard into the
sea.
The Metropolis left Philadelphia last
Tuesday for Brazil, taking 200 work
men and 25 cabin passengers.

TOPEKA, Kan, January 27.-A daring
attempt to rob the passenger train on
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
Railroad was made this morning. Be-
tween three and four O'Clock A. NJ,
five armed and masked men entered the
station at Kinsley, Kan, and captured
A Kincaid, the night telegraph operator.
They ordered Kincaid to open the safe,
but he refused, and by desperate effort
broke loose and ran to the hotel near
by and aroused the inmates. A party
was at once organized and started in
pursuit of the masked men, whose OBJ
ject was evidently to rob the passenger
train on its arrival at the station. The
commanding officer at Fort Dodge
telegraphed that squad of cavalry had
been sent after the robbers.

Reports Of a Silver Corruption Fund.

A Washington special to the Tribune
says: 1t is reported, on what seems to
be good authority, that the sum of $780,
600 has been raised by those interested
in silver mining on the Pacific coast to
assist in moulding public opinion in
favor of reconciliation.
One small newspaper in Hudson
river town is reported to have received
$4,000 of this money.
In the meantime the owners OF silver
mines are said to be carefully running
their drifts and adits on half force and
time, to avoid a glut of silver in the
market, and thus keep up its price rs
much as possible until the fate of the
Bland bill is decided.
