THE ARMY BILL DEBATE

THE THIEVES ESCAPE DELAWARE JUS
TICB.
On Sunday afternoon two men arrived
in this city with horse and carriage
which they put up at the Sorrel Horse
Hotel stables on Front street, near Ship
ley. Shortly after their arrival officers
Cannon and Traynor observed the men,
and from their action concluded that
something was wrong. They kept a
watch upon them, and soon discovered
where the stolen articles were found.
The officers then went to the Mayor and
asked him if they could arrest the men,
detailing all the circumstances of the case
as far as they knew. The Mayor replied
that they could not unless they had very
strong evidence as to the guilt Of the sus-
pected men. Here the matter rested un-
til yesterday morning, when the owner
ofthe articles came to this city, and going
to the Mayor and Chief detailed his loss,
and the description Tailed exactly with
that given by the two officers. Sergeant
Legg, was sent for, and the men turned
over to him and a search made for the
horse and wagon which was
found in a very short time, the sergeant
knowing where it was. In the meantime
the thieves went to the depot, purchased
tickets, for Philadelphia, and took the
9.46 train for that city, while officers Can
non and TraynOr, stood looking at them
powerless to arrest them. In some
strange way the thieves escaped Delaware
Justice. The horse was loaded on a car
ready to be shipped to Baltimore.

Atlantic City, July 25.-During the

in reply to question, handed in mem

Anderson's visit to him at the Treas

ing on account of the conversation as
noted at the time by the secretary's

said he did not remember a certain con-

''If you don't, then there is no use in
my recalling it.'

rhe coole.t SUICIDE ou Record.

nc SOOlGSt oulClOG On kSeCOtO.
Chicago, July pa Times special
from Capron, ILL.,, says: A dramatic
suicide occurred there Tuesday night.
Early last May Geo. W. Burleigh, who
is an old resident Of Ohio, having lived
in various parts of that State, came to
that town ostensibly to start tonso-
rial establishment. Burleigh was a
man of varied accomplishments, fine
education and versatile in conversation.
While at Capron he was often in de-
pressed spirits. Last Sunday he pub
lished card informing the citizens
that in order to crafty an often ex-
pressed curiosity on the part of his
townsmen, to witness some such trage-
dy as the hanging of Sherry andN Con-
molly in Chicago, he would on the eve
ming of the 23d instant, deliver lee
ture in Thornton Hall, and at its con-
clusion crafty them by shooting him.
self through the forehead. The price
of admission would be one dollar, and
the amount realized should be used in
defraying his funeral expenses, and the
remainder be invested in works of
Huxley, Tyndall and Darwin, for the
library. His idea in ending his life
was to secure eternal peace by annihi-
lation. At the appointed time the hall
was crowded, and after delivering an

A Bulgarian Move.

Vienna, July 25.-News has reached
here that the treaty of Berlin caused
great irritation among Bulgarians, who
since the Russian occupation have been
the ruling class in Eastern Roumelia.
A so-called Pan-Bulgarian committee
has been formed at Adrianople to agi-
tate for Bulgaria. The committee tel
egraphed to Prince Labanoff, Russian
ambassador at Constantinople, to Ak
sakoff, chief of Panslavic propaganda
at Moscow, and to the Czarowitch, in
forming them of the Pan-Bulgarian
movement. Arrangements for the
march of Austrian troops into Bosnia
are complete, but orders to march will
not be given before the end of the week.
The Turkish authorities in the provin-
ces have received directions from Con-
stantinople that they are to meet Aus
trians in friendly spirit.
The Italian demonstrations absorb
political interest here, but it is well un-
derstood that the whole affair is direct
ed against the Carroll ministry.

YnsTERDAY's sensation in the Eng
lish Parliament was the presentation
Of petition by Joseph Cowan, Radical,
demanding the impeachment of Lord
Beaconsfeld. Cowan represents mis-
cradle gathering of soured Turcophiles
and Disraeli's success has upset their
brains. A point of order was stated
but the Speaker wisely ruled to allow
the petition to be presented. Parlia-
ment expires on the twentieth proximo,
and the opposition seems determined
to do everything to insure its defeat at
the polls. We fancy that the Israeli
tish premier fairly laughed outright at
the demand for his impeachment.

Mr.. Hayes Letter to Mr.. Sherman in '76
The following letter in answer to one
written by John Sherman, was brought
out in the Potter investigation yester-
day:
Columbus, Ohio, Nov. 81, 1876.
My Dear Sir:
l am greatly obliged for your letter
of the 23d. You feel, am sure, as 1
do, about this whole business. A fair
election would have given us about
forty electoral votes at the South, at
least that many, but we are not to
allow our friends to defeat one outrage
and fraud by another. There must be
nothing crooked on our part. Let Mr..
Tilden have the place by violence, in
timidation and fraud, rather than un-
dertake to prevent it by means that
will not bear the severest scrutiny. 1
appreciate the work doing by Republi-
cans who have gone South, and am es-
pecially proud TO acknowledge the hon.
orable conduct of those from Ohio.
The Democrats made a mistake in
sending so many ex-Republicans. New
converts are proverbially bitter and un-
fair towards those they have recently
left. l trust you will soon reach the
end of the work and be able to return
in health and safety.
Sincerely,
n II uAvrc

London, July 25.-In the House of
Commons, the Under Secretary of
State for foreign affairs, in replying to
Gladstone, said the government could
not lay on the table memoranda of the
Schouvaloff-Sali agreement with
out other documents accompanying it,
and these could not be produced with
out consent of other powers. Glad
stone then gave notice that he would
move for the production of documents.
Bourke, in replying to Harrington, said
that the powers had been asked to per-
init the production of documents, but
one Of the powers had refused to con-
sent. Gladstone thereupon withdrew
his notice.
