Catholic Riot in Toronto.

TORONTO, Ont, March 10. - Shortly
after midnight the mob advanced up
Queen street and attacked Cosgrove's
tavern. The crowd inside answered with
revolvers, and the rioters returned the
fire. Hundreds Of shots were exchanged
here, and stones poured into the tavern
until the window sashes and furniture
were completely demolished. The po-
lice, ninety strong, charged the mob and
welded their batons with great vigor.-
Four men were shot here, and one a
young Protestant, named James Clegg,
it is feared was fatally wounded. Mean
time another mob, 900 strong, opened
fire with stones upon Collins tavern,
further up Queen street, where Rosa was
believed to be lurking. Revolvers were
used here, but the police, fighting with
matchless pluck against enormous odds,
cleared the street. Rosa was driven
out of town at IL o'clock. Policeman
Worth was struck on the temple with
stone, and knocked senseless. All his
comrades were more or less injured
Probably $50 rioters were injured with
stones and police batons. The Doctors
offices are crowded with wounded,
though, as rule, the injured are taken
away to avoid arrest. Hundreds of
roughs are still congregated in the lanes
and back streets, and the police are
parading the streets in force.

Murder viii Out-A Strange Confession.

The murderer of John Armstrong
who was killed last January ut Camden
has been discovered Hunter who has
been supposed to have been the guilty
man it seems is an accessory, the killing
having been done by Thomas Graham.
The murderer was arrested by two
officers, and when taken to the Jail
made full confession of the killing of
John M. Armstrong, and implicated
Hunter, saying, in substance, " did the
killing and Hunter paid me-"
The story of Graham's confession goes
on to this effect.
To Detective Yoder and Sheriff Daub-
man he detailed in the most minute
manner all the facts antecedent and sub
sequent to the crime tells where Hun
ter went to just before and after the
murder; reduces to simplicity all the
mysteries that hinge on the hatchet;
gives dates, times, places and events
with perfect accuracy, and which the
detectives had a clue to, but no perfect
knowledge, and of which the public are
ignorant, and states an important
matter, which was incidental to the
complete destruction of Armstrong.
That is, that when Armstrong was
brought home, after the deed had been
committed, and after his head was
bandaged, Hunter paid him visit.
Armstrong was then unconscious, and
during the time that the nurse was ab-
sent, and no one but Hunter and the
unconscious man was in the room,
Hunter, as he alleges, pulled off the
bandages, started the wounds to bleeding
afresh, and in this act of unparalleled
atrocity sought to end Armstrongs life
at once.
Graham declares that the plot was
carefully matured between himself and
Hunter, and the object to secure the in
surance which was upon Armstrong; life
and in the name of Hunter. He tells
how it was agreed upon where the as
sassination should take place, and hints
that he agreed to g do the job" for 5000,
to be paid him by Hunter when 6 Arm
strong was settled"
The full confession will not be given
out at present, but all its points are
gradually coming TO the surface by the
admissions of the officers.

Almost on an Iceherq.

The State line steamer State of Georgia,
Captain Cooper, from Glasgow, arrived
at New York Oh Saturday, having ex-
perienced heavy gales and high seas dur
ing most of her passage. On Sunday,
the 10th inst, the steamer entered q
dense fog and slackened her speed. She
was then between Flemish Cape and
Grands Banks, of Newfoundland. The
fog horn was blown constantly and the
temperature of the water and atmosphere
was tested every half hour AS the
water grew cooler it was evident that
the vessel was approaching icebergs,
which, however, are rarely met with at
this season. About nine O'Clock in the
morning the lookout discovered some
thing ahead which he at first thought
was land. The helm was put hard to
and the engines reversed at full speed
The sea was comparatively calm,and the
ship readily answered to the helm
She could not be checked Immediately,
however, and in a few seconds was with
in half her length of a huge iceberg,
looming far above her. The men at the
wheel strained every muscle, and the
ship going only few lengths changed
her course fully three points. The
steamer swung more and more to the
starboard, but still it seemed as If she
must strike the mountain of ice. At last
she passed clear and all who saw the
danger drew sigh of relief. The ice
berg, which was covered with snow, is
described as being many times the length
of the steamer and two hundred feet
high. Had the steamer been going at
full speed she would certainly have been
lost with all on board.

A Life Saved by a Mule.

A very interesting incident is related
of recent railroad accident on the Pitts
burg and Ft Wayne railroad at Lake
vile, Ohio. Standing between two of
the cars, which were loaded with horses
and mules, was brakeman, whose
name Is not learned. He went down
with the wreck, becoming fastened be-
tween the cars, under ten feet of water
His weak struggles to release himself
were useless, and he concluded that in
n few short seconds all would be over
The mules had been kicking pretty live
ly in the car, and suddenly the brake
man felt the end board give way. Then
he received n tremendous kick on the
thigh which sent him out of his perilous
position to the top of the water. Here
he spluttered about until white mule
rose up and struck out for shore Then
the brakeman grasped the animals tail
and was safely carried to shore. His in
juries were not so severe but he could be
moved home to Crestine. Another
mule escaped by the same egress as the
first, and the remaining animals per-
ished. The brakeman should certainly
purchase that white mule and keep him,
for it has never occurred before that u
mans life was saved by mule and may
never again.

Effects of Woods Bill.

Messrs. Simpson & Sons, proprietors
of the Eddystone Print works, near
Chester, says that the Wood Tariff bill,
if passed, will increase the cost of chem
icals used in their works over $77 600
annually, the calculation being based on
the amount used in 1877. The articles
in question are soda ash, bleaching
salts, madders, dyewoods and crude
aniline preparations, some of which
cannot be produced in this country and
have hitherto been on the free list. The
additional cost would have to be paid by
the consumers of common calico.

Does the Mississippi River run up HIP

A correspondent Of the Germantown
Telegraph says; 1.-THE Mississippi riv-
er extends north and south through
about eighteen degrees of latitude, and
its waters flow from its source to the
Gulf of Mexico, not down, as water nat
urally flows, but up an inclined plane.
If the equatorial diameter is twenty six
miles greater than the polar, then the
north pole is thirteen miles nearer the
centre of the earth than the equator;
and eighteen degrees of latitude being
one-lifth of the whole ninety degrees
from the equator to the pole, the head
of the Mississippi must be little over
three statute miles nearer the centre of
the earth than its mouth. The centrifu-
gal force of the earth's turning on its
axis thus forces the water up hill to the
extent of three miles or more of eleva-
tion.

Happy Result of an Attempt at Suicide.

PROVIDENCE, r. L., March 19.-Kate
Delaney, the woman who attempted
suicide last Sunday by taking arsenic,
left here this evening for New York, nc
companied by Alfred Skinner, of Hart
ford, and it is said on good authority
that they were married before they left.
Skinner became infatuated with Kate
some years ago, and would have married
her then but for the opposition of his
parents. He saw the account of her at
tempted suicide in the papers, and i'm
mediately came here to administer to
her wants. There was large crowd at
the depot when they departed. Skinner
is apparently about 80 years of age, and
has wealthy parents in Hartfold. He is
in the paper business.

Ga John M. Larkins, an old mer-
chant of Columbia, Tenn, well known
to the dry goods merchants of Philadel-
phia, committed suicide last week,
by shooting himself through the
heart In his vest pocket was found
the following note: a." do this terrible
deed from remorse. have been the
means of running good man and fam
lily. Good forgive me. can't face the
world again" In this note he refers to
his partner in the dry goods business,
Mr.. John A. Walker He was evidently
deranged. The firm had become embar-
gassed from indulging too freely in the
credit system, and he fancied he was the
cause of it, though Mr.. Walker says
that their assets exceed their liabilities
by at least two to one and that they
could have met all their Eastern obliga-
tions if they could have made their
usual collections. The creditors of the
firm are doubtless safe.
