JUST before II o'clock Sunday night
as Elisha Whittlesey was returning to
his mothers residence onSpruce street,
he saw two persons prowling about
the premises. When they discovered
him they started on q run. He fired
three shots from his revolver at them,
and at the first fire one of them
dropped and groaned as if hit. On
Monday morning strips of a handker-
chief smeared with blood were found
near lot of bushes or brush, which
would seem to indicate that one OF the
parties was more than frightened.

columns Of our city newspapers. The pco-
pic OF Cincinnati have lecture of that
kind, almost every morning, one of which
we republish in our own language.
At one time George NJ. Schaffer, Of that
city was prosperous merchant. Being Of
an emincntly social temperament, convivial
companions to lead him hellward were not
wanting In few years he became dissi.
pated and dcbased His wife and daughter
managed to maintain respectable standing,
the latter being one Of the most promising
artis.-painters IN the West. A short time
ago these two visited relatives in German
town. On the same train were two of the
husbands "b0on companions" who persist
ed in the attempt to get up Irritation with
the women, who declare that they gave the
men no encouragement. Arriving at
Germantown, the women repaired
to the home of the mothers
brother. The young men believing that
their acquaintance was desired, stopped of
also, and that night visited the house of III,
brother, and became 80 importunatc for ad

them, and was in Germantown at the time
Of the occurrence just related. Obtaining
the particulars of it, he became furiously
jealous, and filling himself up with whisky
he visited the house of his wife's brother,
and approaching the front window he

signal. The brother hearing the tap, and
seeing the outlines of man, fired his re-
volver, and shot the husband dead, think
ing of course, it was one of the two young
men who had returned to prosecute his sis

mud, was the body Of George NJ. Schaffer,
brought to his ignoble end by draughts that
stole away his brains, and substituted habits
and passions that rendered him miserable
in life and dishonored in death.

A SHAMELESS CONFESSION THAT
EMBODIES A LIE.

We have the authority of the Immaculate
Boss Shepherd for saying that Gen.
Grant will undoubtedly be elected for a
third term. Shepherd says that even those
Republicans who, four years ago, were
much displcased with Giantism as it mani
Tested itself in the financial and southern
policies pursued, now find lIaycsism most
internally odious in comparison.
As an exchange very truly remarks, Mr..
Shepherd is not at all mistaken in his es-
innate of Haycsism; but that there is no.
body but Grant who can redeem the coun-
try from that curse. is q most humiliating
mistake that hundreds of Republican zeal
OTIS besides the Boss, have unaccountably
tumbled into. With Il population of more
than 4O0O0,OO0 people; with Republican
statesmen among that number of profound
learning and great eminence, the confess
sion that comes from the Republican party,
that Ulysses S. Grant is the only man fitted
at this juncture Of our affairs for the office
of president, is most humiliating, and re-
fleets disgrace upon tie intelligence and
craftsmanship of our people. Furthermore
such confession embodies falsehood. Ed
munds, Conklng and Blaine, Of the Re-
publican party, are as far above Grant, in
point of craftsmanship, as the Democratic
party, in the Integrity of its aims, is above
the "stalwart" element of its INSCRIPTIONS
OppOsers.

LIFE-SAVING DEVICES ON OUR
RAILROADS.

The recent accidents by rail and sea, and
the appalling loss of life that followed as u
consequence, are arousing the public to the
necessity of devisng means that will afford
greater security to the tens of thousands
who daily commit themselves to the risks
of the steamship and railroad car. The
press of both this country and Europe is
giving the subject much attention, and, in
SO far as land travel in concerned, insist
upon the adoption of the air break upon
our passenger trains. The New York Sun
refers to several instances where the use of
this break was instrumental in saving per-
haps hundreds of lives. Only few days
ago, u Connecticut railroad train, crammed
with human freight, rushed madly upon
misplaced switch. The air brake was in
stantly applied, and stopped the train in
time to save every passenger aboard from
even the slightest injury, although the loco
motive and tender were dashed to irag-
ments. But for the air brakes in this case,
the loss OF life would have been fearful.
On Saturday last, the wheel Of the smok-
ing car of an East Newark and New York
passenger train broke down, while the train
was dashing along at the rate OF foity miles
an hour. Here again the air brake was ap
piled, and saved six coach loads of human
beings from the injury or death that would
inevitably have followed had the train been
destitute of such appliances.
Instances where these brakes have inter
posed to save human life are so numerous,
indeed, that one or more has fallen under
the observation of every extensive traveller
of the country. Thousands of living wit
nesses are ready to testify to their great SUI
periori,y; and as there can be little doubt
as to the power of congress or our sew.
eral state legislatures to enact laws for the
protection of the lives and property of our
citizens, it becomes the duty Of these law
making powers to provide for the introduc.
ton Of these air brakes, or something else
equally effective, on all of our American
railroads.
In the matter of railroad accidents, ILL
nois has been peculiarly fortunate. Ma
seven hundred miles of railroad in the
world can present such IA record in this par
ticular. as that of the Illinois Central
But if the introduction of these mir brakes
on Illinois roads would prevent the wreck
ing Of u single passenger train, their intro
duction and the expense involved therein
would be warranted. Indeed, the time h
not distant when business necessities alone
will compel the use Of them, or some othc
appliances which the publi> will regart
with like favor. Travellers, though usual,
too reckless as to their own safety, will
