KIDNAPPED on THE CARS.
Lady's Terrible Adventure on New
York Central Train.

A Lady's Terrible Adventure on II New
York Central Train,
New Yorw, July 2S.-The Times to-day
adds to the criminal record an account Of
perhaps the most audaciou, crime ever per-
pertrated in this country. 1t appears that
some months since married lady of Bos-
ton of great refinement and beauty, and oc-
occupying a prominent social position, had
been visiting friends in the interior of this
state, and when leaving took a drawing
room car on the New York Central road for
Albany, where her husband awaited her.
Two Williams followed her into the car, pro-
badly attracted by the valuable jewelry she
wore, and when the conductor approached
the lady for ticket informed him that they
were her friends, that she was deranged, and
they were unfortunately selected to convey
her to the Utica asylum. In spite of her
pro estations and appeals for protection, the
scoundre!s succeeded in convincing the con.
duc.crs and passengers of the truth of their
story, and removed the lady from the cars at
Utica, she s~ooning as the train moved
away. She was then lifted into COACH
chloroformed, taken to l,ouse of i!l-repute
outraged and robbed of her jewelry and
clothing The husband learned Of the 'wife's
alleged insanity wien the train arrived at
Albany, and procuring Il special engine,
started for Utica WITHOUT delay, Upon ar.
riving few inquiries enabled him to find
the disreputable house where the wife had
been taken, and there he fo':nd her, lying
upon q bed, almost stripped Of her clothing
and her mind seriously injured by the ter
rible experience. No names are given from
considerations of delicacy. The husband
made every effort consistent with privacy
to discover the iencr, but so far without
avail.

About one o'clock the wind began blowing
a perfect gale, and increased until it was al
most hurricane. Considerable rain and
hail fell. Cuts office, which was standing
on blocks, having been raised the day before,
was blown off the blocks, and out about six
feet into the street. The frame of Charley
Prongua's new house was blown down and
pretty badly smashed up. Several out build

have no business to trihe with the tender
susceptibilities of the female heart, not
even to accomplish the sale of sewing
machine or a bottle of prepared glue or
Venetian hair-dye. The general features
of the proposed law are commendable,
but there should be sliding scale OF
penalties. The arbitrary inhiction of
a thousand-dollar fine and one years i'm
prisonment in all cases alike would be
unjust in many. The punishment should
be graduated to the offense. There should
be broad distinction between stealing
the affections of a widow, an antique
maiden and coy damsel in her teens.
Then the use the thief puts the stolen
property to should be another considera-
ton in fixing the amount of punishment
to be inflicted. In some cases, on inves-
tigation, it might be shown that what at
first sight appeared to be larceny was in
fact voluntary loan or free gift. In
that event even lightning-rod peddler
ought to be shown little leniency.

Nor much progress has been made by
Congress in the work of simplifying
the system of electing the President and
Vice President of the United States.
The people expect Congress to examine
this subject and pass the required laws
while it can be done without being in
the interest of either of the political par
ties. The Commission created to settle
the disputed Presidency gave satisfaction
to none except those who were benefited
by it, and is regarded by all as only an
expedient to get the country out of an
awkward fix. 1t was not much to the
credit of our statesmen that contin-
gency should once arise not clearly pro-
vided for by our laws, but that there
should be'a possibility of a second oc-
currence of the same kind reflects any
thing but honor on the men who are de-
voting their time to perfecting the laws
of the country. By all means let us have
a provision of some kind that will pre-
vent another disputed Presidency.

A RIGHTEOUS LAW.

Either the married men of an Eastern
State are exceptionally naughty, or the
unwedded females of that commonwealth,
like their Mormon sisters are too willing
to accept fractional allegiance. 1t has
been found necessary to introduce into
the Legislature of that State a bill pun
ishing by fine of 81 900 and one years
imprisonment "any married man who
shall represent himself to be single for
the purpose of gaining the affections of
any woman in the State" Ordinary vigi-
lance on the part of the single female
would prevent her from being decoyed
into surrender of her affections to man
already married, and the want of that
vigilance indicates as great readiness to
swap affections with the first conner, as a
Yankee school boy has to swap knives, or
circuit preacher to swap horses.
Still the law is good one. 1t ought
to become the law of the land, and be
rigidly enforced. The man with one or
more wives already on his hands who
goes prowling around the country-un-
der the guise of lightning-rod peddler
or book agent, perchance-but really for
the purpose of preying upon any unoccu-
pied female affections that he may find
lying around loose, should be suppressed
by the strong arm of the law. By the
way, it may be alleged with moral
certainty that the lightning
rod, peddIer and book agent,
and several other classes of peripatetic
tradesmen are invariably married men,
who have been driven to their nefarious
'callings by the infelicities of their mari
tai relations. They have fed from the
ills they have to those they know not Of
the savage house-dog, the bootjack, and
all grades of verbal obloquy. But what
ever their individual griefs may be fur
nishes no excuse for poaching. They
