The 3OLDEST AND MOST BRUTAL. OUT
RAGE on RECORD. The New York Times
of Saturday adds to the criminal record an
account of perhaps the most audacious
crime ever perpetrated in this country. 1t
appears that some months since married
lady Of Boston Of great refinement and
beauty, aud occu, wing a prominent social
position, had been visiting friends in the
interior of this State, and when leaving
took a drawing room car on the New York
Central road for Albany, where her hus-
band awaited her. Two williams followed
ber into the car probably attracted by the
valuable lcwclry she wore. and when the
conductor approached the lady for her
ticket they informed him they were her
friends, that she was dera1ged, and they
unfortunately had been selected to convey
her to the Utica Asylum.
In spite of her protestaf ions and anDeaIs
for protection, the scoundrels succeeded IN
convincing the conductor and passengers
OF the truth of their story, and removed the
lady from the cars at Utica, she swooning
as the train moved away. She was then
lifted into coach, cbloToformed, taken 10
house of i'll repute, outraged aud robbed
Of her jewelry and clothing.
The husband learned of his wife's allep-
ed insanity when the train arrived at Al
bany, and procuring a special engine start
ed for Utica without delay. Upon arriving
few inquiries enablad him to find the dis
reputable house where his wife bad been
taken, and there he found her lying upon
a bed almost stripped of her clothing and
her mind seriously injured by her terrible
experience.
No names are given from consideration
of del!cacy. The husband made every eff
fort consistent with privacy to discover the
hends, but 1t was without avail.

WHEN Daniel Webster, on a certain
SuAd5y during .ho financial panic Of 1887,
stood on the steps Of Baltimore bank, Of
which Rsveldy Johnson was President, and
addressed a large and excited crowd Of
people who had collected in the street TO
hear him, lie commenced bis address by
saying, Fellow citizens There are no
S2HI7ys in revolutionary times" Dennis
kearuey, the California agitator, who al
though not as great a man as Webster. is
much more notorious. evidently believes
that there are also no Sundays during hard
times, Cor on his arrival at Boston from san
Francisco, on Sunday last, he was met at
the depot by several hundred OF his admir-
ers, and on being driven to the Sherman
House he proceeded to address the crowd
from the balcony, denouucjng politicians,
mOnopolies, capitalists and the newspaper
press. Most people will conclude that as
kearuey was not standing ON his platform
on the san Francisco sand Lot slipht
regard for decency and propriety would
have induced him to POSTPONE his philippe
until the next day. But the irrepressibIe lie
Dennis was fun Of a speech and was bound
to get it OF. Dennis Kearney addressing
crowd in the PuritanicaI city Of Boston
on Sunday, is a spectacle pleasing both to
gods and men.

HE REMAINS OF \ MAsTODoN FoUND.
1t having been announced few davs
ago that the fossil remains of nastodSn
had been found in cave near the railway
station at Mt. Ararat, on the Jefferson
branch of the Eric railroad, in this State.
hundreds of persons, both on foot and in
carriages, visited the scene, 1t seems that
some workmen while excavating at the
point named, came upon what they at first
thought 10 be part of the tusk of an eIe
phant. 1t was taken to naturalist who
lives lnthe neighborhood and he pronounced
1t TO be the tooth Of mastodon. The
Torkmen at once returned to their task.
and under the direction of the naturalist
and an antiquarian whom he summoned
from CaTbondaie, the search was prosecu-
ted until nearly the entire skeleton of the
monster was unearthed aud is now on ex-
hlbition at the opening Of the cave. The
Jawbone is four feet long aud thirteen inch
es thick the vertebI8. tNenty-thlee feet
eight inches long knee cap eighteen inch
es in length and nine and a half inches in
width at the narrowest point thigh bones
SIX and a quarter feet long, and the bones
from the knee to the foot seven feet i'm
length. 1t is said hat the skeleton VIII be
boxed and shipped to the Smithsonian in
stitute.

TIE Harrisburg Telegraph, which en-
joys the well-eained reputation Of being
the most INSCRIPTIONS aud mendaciouS
Republican paper in the State, has com
meuced a war of personal detraction against
Andrew II. Dill, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, and has the malignity to
charge him when ne was in the Legislature
with having been the attorney of any cor
pOratiOn that had money enough to employ
him, aud that his votes we're like his voice
as an attorney, a the command of his eli
euts, according to tie fees paid in hand.
Such Wholesale defamation Of Mr.. Dill will
not be likely 10 iuiure him when the source
is proceeds from is remembered. We do
not knoH Andrew II. Dill personally. and
our knowledge Of him has been derived
from q some what familiar acquaintance
with his career as q State Senator. When
his name was first suggested as a proper
person to be nominated for Governor, we
were told Ivy a gentleman who has been a
frequent visitor AZ Harrisburg during the
last nine years, that there was not a single
Dcmoora &c State Senator who had served
with Mr.. Dill who was not warmly in favor
OF his uomitation. The official purity aud
integrity Of man who thus enjoys the
unbUuuded respect aud confidence not only
Of the members Of bis own party, but also
of Republican Senators, cannot be success
fully assailed by The venemous assaults of
a thousand such libellOus sheets as the
Harrisburg Telegraph.

y IS Thought, though it is not yet abse-
lateiy certain, that the Democratic confe-
rees of this district viii meet at Cresson on
Tuesday next FOR the purpose Of nominating
a candidate for Congress. There is a pos>
sibility, very remote we admit, that the
next President may have to be chosen by
the members of Congress elected in the
different States this fan. Keeping this
contingency always in view, the supreme
Importance Of electing a majority of the
Congressional delegation from this State
viii impress itself upon every Democrat.
After he 4th Of next March the Democrat
&c party viii have control Of the United
States Senate, and must, If it can, for the
rcason we have stated, secure a majority
Of he members Of the House of Represen-
ta;ives from q majority qf the States. The
conference, whenever it meets, must act on
the thcor. in nominating a candidate, that
the political complexion Of the delegation
from this State may depend upon the result
IA this particular district. The district is
Republican, General Campbell having been
elected two years ago over very popular
Democrat, Hon. John Reilly, by majority
of $50. At the next election a thiId can
didaJo will be voted for 10y the Greenback
party, and in our opinion tie result in the
district will depend entirely upon whether
the Democratic or the Republican candi-
date will suffer most from the Greenback
vote. The conference, after a full, free
ard candid interchange of views on the
part Of all its members, must nominate the
man who in their calm and deliberate
judgment viii! receive the most votes. The
selection should be made nos from apy feel
ing of local pride, much less from persona
considerations, but purely through a sim
cere aud unseifsh desire toput forward the
very strongest Democrat in the district, no
matter in which Of the four counties he
may reside. If ihe conference will so act,
and ve believe it will the result can be
safely left to the people.
