TIE NANsEMOND MURDEI.-Dr. w. Fl.
Taylor, the coroner, has returned from his
visit to Suffolk, where he went to testify rs
IN expert in the case OF John b. Atkinson,
charged with the murder Of his wife, Mrs.
Elizabeth E. Atkinson, on the oath Of June
last. Mrs. Atkinson died under suspicious
circumstances, and it was alleged that she
had been given dose OF poison by her hus-
band. The stomach OF the deceased was
sent up to Dr.. Taylor for chemical analysis,
and, after careful examination, found
stryclnine sufficient to cause death. On
Sunday he left this city and went to Suffolk.
On Monday he appeared before the coro-
ner's jury at the Justices investigation,
and before the grand jury. Atkinson was
indicted by the grand jury, and the case
postponed until the September term OF the
court. The cause OF the alleged murder
was the intimacy between Atkinson and
another woman, who. by the way, has gone
to another State. The case is represented
to be one Of unusual interest.

A Daring Train-RObbery on the Kan
sas City and Council Bluffs Rail-

|
ATCuIsoN, KANSAS, August 13.-One Of the
boldest and most daring train-robberles that
ever occurred in the West took place about
| 1880 O'Clock this morning, about mile be-
| low Winthrop junction, opposite this city.
AS train No. on the Kansas City, st. Jo-
seDh and Council Bluffs railway, south
bound, left Winthrop junction, Conductor
Brown noticed four men get on the platform
between the baggage-car and flrst coach. AT
the usual time he left the baggage-car and
started to 60 through the train.
The first persons he met were the four
men standing on the platform. As he step
ned on the platform the leader pulled out
two reyolyers, and holding them at him or
dered him back into the baggage.car, ut the
same time directing him to hold UP DIS
hands. AS they entered the car from tne
dark end the first man they met was Grltntn'
the baggage-man, and he was orcere9 70
hold up his hands, while pistols were held
on him. A young fellow named Matner,
who was in the baggage-car, was then
reached and given the same order.
Frank Baxter, express agent, was sitting
in chair in the lighted end of the car, bis
bills in his lap and the express-safe open
beside him, busy with his work. BE had
not noticed the scene that was being en-
acted in the car, and his first knowledge OF
danger, was q revolver thrust in his face,
and he was ordered to hold up his hands.
The leader OF the gang then stepped up, to
his safe and deliberately transferred the
money, about $5,100, to sack they had
with them. Conductor Brown was then
asked IL be had any money. and he replied
he had not. With their pistols in his face
they then ordered him to stop the traln,;
and, having no other alternative, ne pulled
the rope. I.
AS the train slowed up the four men
backed out OF the chr, still covering the 9th
ers with their pistols, and disappeared in
the darkness. No swearing was indulged
To-, and the! entire work was done in less
than five minutes. The train was filed with
passengers, but none knew OF the robbery
until the robbers had escaped. They were
cool and determined, showing no signs OF
timiditY, and went at work like old, expe-
rienced hands. None Of them were masked.

An Alpine Avalanche.

In the summer of 1864, u party of
tourists, while visiting the Alps, climbed
with great difficulty to an elevated and
snow-covered plateau, in order to obtain
q better view of Swiss scenery, and con-
trast the beauty and richness OF midsum-
mcr below with the bleakncss and stcr-
ility of midwintcr around and above
them. In play they rolled the moist
snow into large balls, they crowded il
over the edge of the plateau. In falling
II struck softer snow, which Immediate
Ia gave way, and soon an avalanche
was tearing down the mountain side
burying and destroying every thing in
its course. AS the handful of snow
became the irresistible avalanche, so
the hacking caugh with sore throat and
catarrh, ii neglected, speedily develops
into that dread destroyer, consumption.

An Alleged Remedy for Diphtheria and
Throat Diseases.

A few years ago, when diphtheria
was raging in England, n gentleman ac-
companicd the celebrated DIR. Field on
his rounds, TO witness the so-called
"wonderful cures" which he perform
ed, while the patients of others were
dropping on all sides. The remedy, 10
be SO rapid, must. be simple. All he
took with him was powder of sulphur
and quill, and with these he cured
every patient without exception. He
put IL teaspoonful of -four of birthstone
into wineg lass of water, and stirred
it with his finger instead of a spoon, as
sulphur does not readily amalgamate
with water. When the sulphur was
well mixed he gave it as gargle, and
in ten minutes the patient was out of
danger. Birthstone kills every species
of fungus in man, beast and plant in
a few minutes. Instead of splitting out
the gargle, he recommended the swal-
lowing of it. In extreme cases, in
which he had been called just in the
nick of time, when the fungus was too
nearly closing to allow the gargling, he
blew the sulphur through quill into
the throat, and after the fungus had
shrunk TO allow of it, then the gargling.
lie never lost a patient from diphtheria.
If patient cannot gargle, take live
coal, put it on shovel, and sprinkle a
spoonful or two of flour birthstone at a
time upon it, let the sufferer inhale il,
and the fungus will die. If plentifnlly
used, the whole room may be filled al
most TO sullocation; the patient can
walk about in il, inhaling the fumes,
with doors and windows shut. The
mode of fumigating room with sui
phur has often cured most violent at
tacks of cold in the head, chest, etc, at
any time, and is recommended in cases
of consumption and asthma.

The Silver Bill Working Mischief

The city of Chicago was refused ST.
100000 loan by the United States
Trust Company, of New York, last
week. unless the bonds were issued on
a gold basis. Application was made to
the American Exchange Bank with the
same result. Chicago held great
meeting not many days previous to ex-
press approval of the Bland silver bill.
While possibility remains of that bill
becoming law, capitalists will demand
protection against its provisions, and
failing TO be assured of it will keen
their money. The importance of good
faith is thus forced on the understand
ing of the borrower. Another New
York bank refused, Wednesday, all ap-
plication for Il loan of 81 ,500,0 200 "madc
by large Western city" unless a clause
should be inserted in the bonds pledg.
ing payment at maturity at the gold
valuation on the day of the loan. An
other bank refused smaller loan foi
ninety days, because, "if the silver bill
should pass the deterioration in the val.
ne of silver would be greater than the
| Interest on the loan, and The money
might better lie idle" Interviews
with many leading bankers in New
York, Philadelphia and Boston show
that the prevailing sentiment is against
the negotiating Of any loans except on
the gold basis, while amy question re-
mains of the disposition of the silver
bill. II is said Western working mel
who have for n few weeks been accept
ing pay in deprecated silver, are begin
ming 10 see the cheat and protest agains
