mail contractor and their two younger
sons are mail carriers. This combi-
nation attracted the suspicious of the
special agents. Mr.. Henderson placed
registered letter containing marked
money in the pouch at one end of the
route. Mr.. Tidball did likewise at the
other end of the line. Each officer
followed his decoy. 1t was found that
the contents of each had been abstract
ed at Bradford's. On the instant that
this was learned both officers went to
the village, and, learning that Mrs.
Dizney bore bad character for honesty,
and had been in charge of the flee
during the day, promptly arrested her.
AT first she denied having committed
the theft, but as the officers insisted
upon searching her she confessed and
took from her pocket the stolen money.
She was taken before United States
Commissioner Faris, of Loudon, and
held in 81 900 bail to appear before the
grand jury in Louisville on the 7th of
next October.
Mr.. Dizney and his sons denied all
knowledge of the robberies. The mails
remained in the post office half an hour
each day while the carriers were eating
supper, and during that time Mrs. Dir
ney committed the robberies. She is AZ
years of age and the mother of eight
grown children.

LONDON, September 8. = The excur-
sion steamer Princess Alice, returning
from Gravesend to London, this eve
ming, with about 800 passengers on
board, was run down off Barking about
8 o'clock by screw steamer. The
Princess Alice was struck amidships
and sunk almost Immediately. The
number of persons drowned is variously
estimated at from 500 to 900. The higher
estimate is the latest and is given by
the London steamboat company, the
owners of the Princess Alice. The
company's wharf is besieged by crowds
of people anxious to hear of relatives
and friends who were passengers on the

his home at Roxborough with young

In Harrisburg on Wednesday tax ap-

conjunction with the respective County
Solicitors, for the counties of Blair, Car
bon, Chester, Clearfield, Fayette, Ly-
coming, Luzerne, Schuylkill, Monroe,
Union, Washington, York, Susquehan-

amounts are involved, these appeals be-
ing from the action of the Board of Rev.
enue Commissioners, in increasing the
county returns of personal property tax
able for State purposes. The appeals al
lege that the increase was made without
evidence, and charged to the counties
without authority of law. Judge Pear
son has fixed October 23rd for a hear

General Butler for Governor.

General Butler has written letter
accepting the nomination offered him
by over fifty thousand voters of Massa-
chusetts. He has announced his in
tention of being candidate, and dis
cusses State issues in his usual vigorous
style. He has abstained from treating
national questions, and will make his
canvass on abuses which he claims have
existed in the administration of the
State Government. The campaign will
be lively one, the General proposing
to stump the State as heretofore. The
letter will create immense sensation in
Massachusetts politics, and will tend
further to embarrass the leaders of both
the leading parties.

A wOman's Choice.

A very neatly dressed young woman,
with regular features, dark ,patlent-look-
ing eyes, visited the health officer In
Philadelphia last week and made appli-
cation to be sent to the Howard associa-
tion somewhere in the South as nurse.
She stated that her husband was serving
term in the workhouse and would
shortly be out. His treatment of her
when at home was not of the best; he
contributed nothing towards their
support, and taking from her all she
could earn in order to satisfy his appe-
lite for liquor. She thought that If sent
to some point South in the capacity
stated, he would not dare follow her.
1t was q singular choice as between two
evils.

Speedy Justice.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 2.-NIichael Green,
colored, was lynched near Upper Marl-
boro, Prince Georges County last night,
for assaulting Miss Alice Sweeney. The
crime was one of peculiar atrocity. Miss
Sweeney was returning to her home on
Monday last from visit to some friends
in the suburbs, and in an unfrequented
place the negro, divested of all his cloth
ing suddenly appeared before her and
assaulted her.
Miss Sweeney is a beautiful girl of 10,
of high social standing,and recognized as
belle in Marlboro. She was left uncon-
scious by her assailant, but at length she
made her way to her home, and there
she has since been lying in critical
condition.
Green was arrested on the following
day, and Miss Sweeney fully identified
him. He had narrow escape from
lynching at the time, but was lodged in
the Jail in Upper Marlboro. After mid
night last night the jailor was aroused
by some one knocking at the entrance,
and looking from his window, he saw
band of masked men gathered around
the Jail. They demanded admission,
but he refused, and with battering rams
they forced their way into the corridor.
The cell door was quickly burst open,
and Green was found crouching on the
floor dumb with terror. He was heavily
aIn 1,,t ne t1o ,,al,,
quickly freed him of his shaclxles. A
rope was thrown around his neck and
he was hurried out of the Jail. Not a
word was spoken, and the negro was
taken to o grove, some distance from
the town, and there ordered to say his
prayers. In the vain hope of mercy he
confessed the outrage. Finding his ap-
peals unavailing he alternated in howls
and curses, struggling desperately to es-
cape.
With the least possible delay the rope
was made fast to a tree, and the negro
drawn up and firmly tied. Before his
struggles were over the crowd disappear
ed as quietly as they had assembled. The
corpse was discovered by the authorities
this morning, and, after being cut down,
an inquest was held.
Very little effort was made to ascer-
tain the names of the lynching party,
the hanging having been generally en-
dorsed by the community and a verdict
of Found hanged by parties unknown
was quickly rendered.

A Woman's Thieving.

A Washington correspondent tele-
graphs as follows: Special Agents It'd
ball and Henderson, of the post office
department, returned to Washing
ton yesterday from Kentucky, where a
woman mail robber was arrested. For
long time past complaints have been
received at the post office department of
the loss of money and valuables from
the mails over the route between Bar
louisville and London, KY. Registered
packages were broken open, rified of
their contents and resealed by the thief.
Several months ago special agent was
sent over the route to capture the thief,
but he failed in the undertaking. The
mail between Barboursville and London
is carried once each day by mounted car
riers. The mail from twenty-five or
thirty side routes passes over this main
route. There has been over $1,000 stolen
from ordinary letters containing money
and valuables and from registered pack
ages by some person in the employ of
the governments on the Barboursville and
London route.

a few miles from Barboursville. Thom-

ILLUSTRATIVE of the terror that ex-
lists in Southern towns in regard to yel-
low fever, is the following: At the
town of Spring, on the International
railway, twenty miles north of Huston,
Texas, the quarantine officer put off a
merchant named Hurley, from New Or
leans. The citizens ran him out, and,
getting up a party of twenty men armed
with cow-hides and shot-guns, boarded
the next train in search of the officer
The conductor had received telegram
to secrete him before reaching the sta
tion. AS the mob was searching the
car the conductor signaled the engineer
to move off, but one of the mob with
six-shooter got on the engine and order
ed him to stop. Finally, Acting Quar-
antine Officer Nolan appeared on the
platform. AS he was not the man the
mob was looking for they suffered the
train to proceed.

RTPEkS,

There Is a curious story about some nhtSs
wines which are extensively advertised "
days, and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Underhil. the well-known
grapc-grower Of Croton Point. died in 1871
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views Of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock OF wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to be made
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left TO decay upon
the vines. II is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for a settlement
of the estate and the sale Of the wines on
hand. Among these Is a wine OF the vintage
Of 1864, described as n Sweet Union Port,
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine. and being
wholly unlike any other wine Of AmerieaP
growth. Its purify. age and mcilowness are
remarkable, and both physicians and wine
fanciers have a special interest in II as the
oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stockis In the
