the assembled people. The crowd in attendance
was varously estimated. 1t probably numbered
from three to four thousand From early morn
ing until the time of commencement, the neigh
boring villagers and surburbans kept arriving.
At the church the crowd was dense. Every
available seat was occupied and all the standing
room taken up. Prayer was offered by Rev. O.
w. Rogers, chaplain. few brief remarks were
then made by Dea. j. p. living, President. The
Roll of Honor was read by Justus Webster, Sec
rotary. poem, written by Miss Julia ii. May,
was read by Capt Z. j. Merrill. The Grafton, by
Rev. Geo. w. Bicknell of Portland, was an able
discourse and was listened to by the audience with
attention. These exercises were interspersed
with music, vocal and instrumental, by the stu
dents of the public schools and the Pennington
Cornet Band. A line was formed outside the
church by Marshal +. V. Stewart, and the march
to the cemetery taken up. Here followed prayer,
music and decoration of soldiers graves

that could be done at the time, IS every one ex-

An Express Messenger's En-:
counter with Robbers on the
baltimore d. Ohio Railroad.

BALrlMoRE, A pril 20.-The frst intelli.
gence OF desperate attempt to rob an
express agent Of $4,000, ut Point Of
Rocks on Thursday night, was received
here this evening. About G:20 Pm. one
Of the eastern bound express trains on
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad stopped
at Washington Junction for water.
Stephen Miller, the Express Agent, took
advantage Of the stoppage to look into the
safe and see II The money, some $50, 600,
was all right. While thus engaged be
heard voice say: "Yes, got the money;
let's 90 for him." Looking up, Miller
saw two villainous looking men peerins
10 the door OF the car. He grasped hls
revolver, resolving to defend his trust to
the last. Upon seeing the weapons four
Of the desperadoes ran of and made their
escape to the woods. 0ne Of them bolder
than the rest, who was armed with a
heavy club, leaped into the car and en-
deavored TO knock the weapon from the
hands Of the messenger, who. seeing that
he had but one to cope with, did not think
it necessary to FIRE.
The fellow, however, continued to ad.
vance, when Miller seized him, and des.
psrate struggle ensued between the two
men. The would-be robber was a pow.
erful fellow, and was getting the best Of
the agent, when at this jnncture the bag
gage master and one Of the brakemen,
hearing the noise Of the scutile, hastened
to the Express car 10 zee what was the
matter. Upon observing their approach,
the robber jumped from an open door on
the opposite side Of the car and made his
escape, leaving Mr.. Miller master Of the
situation, with his money intact, but
quite fatigued from the results Of his
severe struggle.

The Pottery Meeting Saturday
Murderous Assault by Bur
glars.

SrEuBENvlILE, April q.
Special to the IntsllIgeneer.
The pottery meeting was attended by
the leading citizens, representing large
capital. Hon. ]. Dunbar, the Chairman,
urged the necessity Of immediate action,
as the city Of Wheeling was endesvoring
to secure this location, and steubenviIle
could easily subscribe sufficient stock.
Judge Miller said that. ..steubenyille was
languishiug for the want Of new manu-
factures, and earnestly asked that this
project be pushed. Josiah Creasy had
been to Liverpool last week and gave a
glowing account Of the prosperity Of that
place. He produced a sample Of the
Pittsburgh coal, used there, which was
pronounced by experts as inferior to
steubenville coal. The question Of loca.
tion was discussed, and it was ascer-
tanned that many available sites could be
had.
The stock was subscribed to the amount
OF ifty.fye hundred dollars by the fol-
lowing gentlemen: J. Dunbar, G. B.
Doty, VIM. Stanton, Richard Elliott, ].
Il. Miller, David spaulding, s. G. Gar.
rstt, Jesse Salmon, W. q. Mooney and
John Orr.
Some of them expressed their willing.
ness to double the subscription. Others
present did not subscribe for the lack Of
knowledge Of the plan Of organization.
Another meeting will be held on Monday
night.
Saturday evening John Elliott observed

Knowing that the family had removed
but that some goods remained, Elliott
and bis wife went TO the house to inVesti.

front. Mrs. Elliott, seeing nothing, went
around the house and discovered Elliott
lying renseless. He had been islled by
the burglars who had been interrupted in
robbing the house. A white man aud
boy were arrested on suspicion and con-
fessed the crime, and charged two negroes
rs accessories. The negroes were cap.
tured early this morning with stolen
goods in their possession.
All four were tramps, and had been
here but few days. Elliott remains
