Was it a Sell

On Tuesday two men named VIM.
Burke and Hank Vreeland were before
police justice in New York, on the
charge of having stolen Stewards re-
mains. Capt. Byrnes made long state
ment, detailing minutely all the circum-
stances touching the arrest of the pris-
oners, and the fruitless search he made
in their company for Stewards body.
His first information came from a man
who told him that some time ago he
met Burke in Sixth avenue, who offered
to put him on something in which there
was good deal of money. Soon after the
man said he heard Stewards body had
been stolen, and suspected Burke. On
this information witness arrested Burke.
Burke implicated Whalen, who told
j. Burke went with the captain over
to Orange and looked around, but said
the other fellow must have removed the
body to some other place. Burke then
aided witness to arrest Whalen, who
was found at Burke's house. Both ex-
pressed themselves willing to do all they
could to aid in finding the body, and ac-
companied the captain to the station
house. Thence they accompanied him
to Chatham. When they reached the
place indicated, Whalen asked Burke
what he would get if tried, and when
Burke told him only year and $3.50
fine, witness said he wouldn't saw any-
thing more about the body. Witness
said they had confessed to him and
others of knowing all about the body.
At the examination the persons denied
having had anything to do with the job,
and it seems to be the general opinion
that the police captain has been badly
sold.

A Female Murderer.

CINCINNATI, o., November 20. - A
special dispatch says that Mrs. Cath
arine Stull, who was suspected of the
murder of the widow Best at Port
Washington, o., last week, was arrested
and placed in Jail. She has confessed
the crime. 1t seems that her husband
had been untrue to her for many years,
and had, it is alleged, been criminally
intimate with Mrs. Best. The prisoner
stated that she sent decoy letter on the
night of the murder and then met her
victim at hay-stack on the hill, where,
with club, she beat her to death. Mrs.
Stull is the mother of seven children ,one
of whom, three months old, she has in
Jail with her.

Sharp SwindIing Dodge.

Messrs. d. Epler & Sons, leading pro-
duce commission merchants on south
Water street, are the victims ola sharp
and novel swindling dodge. In the
early part of last week they received
the bills of lading, to which was attach
ed short sight draft, for sixty barrels
of eggs and twenty-four half tubs of
butter. These were to be shipped by
the Pennsylvania Railroad from a firm
in Chicago styling themselves Peck &
Co. AS Epler q Sons supposed the
goods were at the depot in this city-as
natural under the circumstances of re-
ceiving the bills of lading-they followed
custom that has become quite common
in the trade, and sent an advance of
81 900 to Peck & Co., as requested. A
day or two ago the firm received notice
that the goods were at the depot, and
sent their wagon for them. Upon open
ing the supposed barrels of hen fruit,
the Messers, Epler were not only as
founded but greatly disgusted to find
that they were filled with sawdust and
brickbats. The entire consignment of
sixty barrels contained this worthless
stuff. The twenty-four tubs, instead of
containing butter, were stuffed with
coarse salt and sawdust. The matter
has been placed in the hands of the
police, and the Produce Exchange will
undoubtedly take some immediate action
in regard to advances on consignments

sheriff ($sO,OO0) and other officers is not
affected by the classification. In Allie

creased from $25,OOO to 100000 under the

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, DC, November 81, 1878.
A dismissal of SO or 60 employees from
the Patent Office the other day, brings
forcibly to mind the great distress that
concerned. 1t is such hard matter to
get work now, and especially for women,
in Washington. Government clerks are as
rule, above the ordinary in refinement
and education, and it is direful indeed to
see them brought SO low as to be begging
for sweeping, scrubbing, and employment
that will give them food and shelter. We
do see this here continually. Instances are
not wanting of ladies respectfully born and
tenderly reared, who, bereaved by the
vicissitudes of war, employed for time
by the Government for which their dear
ones offered up their ives thrown out of
work at last by the constantly occurring
changes in the Department, are now living
by most laborious work or on charity.
Competent, sober, industrious men,
college graduates in some instances, are
seeking for work and in such stern necessi-
ty are they and their families that they are
glad to get employment as street car
drivers, or even in sweeping Government
buildings and washing spittoons.
There are scores and hundreds of widows
and orphans here, made SO by the war, who
go from department to department for help,
for work, for their very living. Some of
them have lived so for years always with
hope of at last getting positions, subsisting
on as little as four and six dollars month,
which they have obtained from charitable
friends or by hard manual labor. This
class is that which the Government should
help. There is work enough for them all,
it is said, for in many branches business is
far behind hand, but they cannot have it,
and the dismissals are frequently made
simply for lack of necessary funds which
Congress fails through neglect or false
economy to appropriate.
Many are the amusing anecdotes told of
public men made famous for their life in
Washington and the deeds done here.
Among them is one, only recently told, of
how little girl advised Abraham Lincoln
to let his whiskers grow and cover his ugly
features. She lived in New York State,
and was led to write Mr.. Lincoln letter
by seeing a coarse, exaggerated campaign
likeness. She wrote that his face would
be much prettier if he would cultivate a
beard and offered, as an inducement, to
coax her two big brothers to vote for him
If he would not shave any more. Although
the occurrence was at time of peculiar
turmoil and anxiety in Lincoln's life, yet
he answered the child's letter saying in a
pleasant note, "As to the whiskers, having

A Cool and spunky Woman.

Mrs. John Aliens, of Columbus, Kan
sas, was bitten by a rattlesnake last
week. She was digging potatoes, and
in pulling the vines she felt something
prick her wrist, which she first thought
was thorn, and soon discovered the
snake among the vines. She chopped
the snake in pieces and called for as
sistance, in the meantime applying her
mouth to the wound and sucking the
poison out. After the arrival of as
sistance, she directed them to bind upon
the wound piece of the flesh of the
snake, and then went to the house and
drank some whiskey. Her arm is
swollen TO considerable extent, but no
serious results are apprehended.

and thus strangle herself. Her size pre-
vented the longed-for immersion. Her

time for cool reflection on the folly of
her attempt at suicide.

A Bleak Prospect.

England has entered upon winter
which will witness terrible privation
among tens of thousands. Cotton, coal
and iron workers are all in the same sad
plight. Writing from Sheffield, at the
close of last month, the special cores
pondent of the Engineer" after re-
lating how the iron masters have
told their men that without further re-
duction of wages thay cannot possibly
compete with French or Belgian firms,
proceeds to say:
went over to our iron-workers' dis
trict last Friday. 1t presents pitiable
appearance. In Brightside, Grimes
thorpe, etc., there are streets which
have scarcely a single occupant. In
other parts there are whole rows with
the shutters up, and it was rare indeed
to find road with half the houses in
habited. Nor was this all. 1 found
that for the sake of cheapness three or
four families had dubbed together and
huddled themselves into one dwelling.
where they are living under conditions
certainly not conducive to health or
morality. The publicans and merchants
have suffered severely during the last
two years, and the weakest have, as
usual, gone to the wall.

A Queer Case.

Singular facts have recently come to
light in Lancaster in regard TO law
suit settled some ten years ago. Merritt
Smith left at the Lancaster National
Bank So 500 in government bonds in
1856. About a year after he called for
them, when they could not be found,
and he was charged with having already
received them. He sued the bank, and
recovered the full amount with interest.
On the trial the officers of the bank
swore to having returned the bonds to
him, and Mr.. Champneys, the teller,
detailed on oath the circumstances of
the delivery. Much hard feeling has
existed ever since over the result of
the trial. A few days ago the identical
bonds were found in an old book in the
lumber room, in the envelope endorsed
by Champneys.- WrightsUiUe Star.

SOME PERSONS find fault with the
banks of New York and Boston for
the course they propose to take in aid of
resumption. Their ground of complaint
is, that the banks are to refuse to take
silver except as special deposit to be
paid again in silver coin. But why find
fault with the banks for not doing what
the government refuses to do? They
simply refuse to give greenbacks or gold
for silver, and the government does the
same thing, for the secretary of the
treasury will not give either gold or
greenbacks for silver. When the treas
ury will pay out other money in ex-
change for silver, there is no doubt but
what the banks will do so too, and why
should banks be asked to take coin
that the makers refuse.

Insuring Life to Some Purpose.

Col. Walton Dwight, of Binghamton,
New York, whose death was noticed
last week, turns out to have had $780,
600 life insurance and now the COM
panies say that he deliberately swindled
them, deceived them in regard to his
condition, and slowly caused his own
death. He was financially embarrassed,
obtained all his insurance on condition
that he need only pay premiums quar-
terly and never paid more than one
premium on any Of them. AS one of
the means by which he wrought the
physical breakdown of a vigorous con-
stitution it is alleged that on recent
hunting expedition he stripped off his
clothing and SWAN across the Susque-
hanna river four times that he rambled
about the woods day after day without
food, and was endeavoring in every pos
sible way to ruin his health.

A Movable Hitching Post.

A countryman drove into Xenia, o. the
other day with some friends to meet q
train. Arriving at the depota freight train
was on the side track, and the country
man, not seeing any convenient place
to tie up, deliberately hitched his horse
to the rear car of the freight, and pro-
ceeded to promenade the walks around
the depot while waiting for the train.
What was his surprise when he saw his
hitching post pull out for Cincinnati,
with his horse and wagon bringing up
the rear in not the best of order.

County OfHcIaIs' Bonds.

A readjustment of the amount of
bonds required of county officials has
been made at the state department which
has received the approval of Governor
Hartranft, the last previous classifica-
ton having been made in 1s4S, when
William f. Johnston was governor. In
1876 the legislature passed an act maxi
ing the population of the several coun-
ties in the state basis of bond adjust
ment. In counties having between 15O,-
600 and $50 900 inhabitants sheriffs are
required to give bond in the amount

Very Sharp, but Very Mean.

An exchange relates that poor Irish
man at Rochester owed a rich man some
money and was unable to pay. The
rich man obtained judgment and an
execution, but there was nothing on
which the sheriff could levy. The
debtor had two large pigs, but the law
allows a man two, and the sheriff could
not take them. The rich man then
bought two little pigs, had them pre-
sented TO the poor man and thereupon
took his two large ones.
