A Horrible Crime.
From The Baltimore I,n,,e,in


W1LKEsBARRE. Pa, Sept. S.-An al
most incredible story Of villniny has. been
disclosed in connection with the DIM
mock camp meeting in Susquehanna CO..
which closed its sessions during the past
week, a knowledge Of which first came
to light last Tuesday evening at the
death bed of a Miss Waterman, who re-
sided with her parents near Montrose.-
The deceased was aged about 10, the
daughter of reputable family, very
beautiful and well educated, and much
respected in the better circles of society
The story Of the awful crime which
resulted In her death is briefly told as
follows Miss Waterman, i'll company
with a sister, went to the camp meeting
on Saturday, both intending 10 remain
over Sunday with friends on the grounds.
On Saturday evening the sister Of the
deceased accepted an invitation from IA
young man of tho neighborhood To take
n short carriage drive. They drove to-
ward the abode of the Watermans, the
young lady placing confidence in the as
assurance Of her escort that her sister
had expressed her intention of returning
that evening with friend. Upon ar
irving at her home she alighted and re-
manned there.
The sequel affords strong circum stan
tial evidence that il was deliberately
concocted plan to separate the sisters Re
this as IT may, nothing was seen Cf tbe
Miss Waterman, who remained on the
ground until late on SUNDAY night, when
a carriage halted in front of her parctts'
residence, and her PROSTATE form was
carried by two disguised persons from
the vehicle into the house, the front door
yielding easily to the manipulations OF
one of the unknown men. The uncon-
.cious girl was laid upon the floor and
the men hastily departed before the in
mates of the house could intercept them.
When the parents came to where their
daughter lay they found her raying
maniac. and from her occasional rcmnrks
and the appearance OF her clothin and
hair they suspected what WAS but too
well verified since by medical examira-
ton. that her condition was owing TO
Oft repeated outrages inflicted upon her.
She fingered along until Tuesday even.
ing, when she expired. At no time was
she wholly conscious OF her eurround
ings. but from her incOherent speech IL
is believed that Miss Waterman was de.
ceived by false representations TO take
walk with young man with whom she
had neighhorly acquaintance. and
when in secluded spot previously
agreed upon, she was set upon by n
number OF young men and the diabolica
crime consummated.
II Is stated tina: no less than fourteen
infamous scoundrels were engaged In
this dastsrdly act, and several OF them
have already fed.

An Eagle Killed by a Woman

A farmer named UT, wlo lives near
one of the lakes in Preston township,
Ia, has q tvo.year-o'd gsmecock that
was presented to his wife, and she has
taken liking TO the fowl. Tuesday
last, while her husband was absent in
Deposit, Mrs. UT heard commotion
among the chickens in the barnyard
and, on running out. found her game
rooster CALAMITY fighting with what she
supposed Was very large hawk, which
was trying to fasten its talons in the
chicken. The birds were so deeply en-
gagged in the combat that Mrs. UtCs
shouts did not drive the enemy away.
She picked up stick and ran into the
barnyard, and struck the intruder. This
did not apparently alarm It, Then she
neized il by the neck with both hands.
and, for the first tune, saw that it was
an eagle. The powerful bird buried its
claws deep in Mrs. Ut.'s arm. She did
not dare lc. go her hold, although Tue
eagle was tearing her flesh dreadfully.
She frightened her grasp OH its throat
and then threw herself heavily to Ike
ground upon it. In this way 81 kept
II down and choked II TO death. Tie
flesh on Mrs. Utts arm was torn 70 the
bone in places. The eagle measured
nearly i've feet from Zip to tip.

ANOTHER STEP N SCIENCES Pro
oREss.-W. II. II. Barton, OF Yarmouth,
Mass. has invented a machine which be
calls the pulse meter, as IL is operated By
the pulse. This machine, which has Ia
ken him four years TO make, when pla.
ced on the wrist, records the pulse. At
every beat q hand advances one degree
over dial, thus recording the number
Of bcHts. Another hand sweeps over q
graduated scale, which shows the force
or intensity ofthe pulse. More remark.
ablo still, hammer is made TO strike a
bell and give forth clear and distinct
sound, thus making the human pulse
audible as we'll as Yisible.

Letter from Washington.
wAsnIseros, Sept p. 1875

WASHINGTON Sept ~, 1879.
Mr.. HARPER Tho grand reception
of General Grant at San Francisco on
Saturday. and liksspsojectea attentions
to him elsewhere, shows, at least, two
things.
First: 1t shows that in the North
tue soldier Of the late war is not for
gotten. On the part OF few Demo
Gratis it has been the fashion TO sneer at
this class Of citizens. On tho part of
Republicans it has been habit for years
TO profess devotion TO them. and. by un.
friendly legislation, 10 give the lie TO
such professions. 1t is part OF the last
twelve months Democratic history that
General Rice, now candidate for Lieut..
Gov. of Ohio, defeated in the 45th Con
gress bill which. Secretary ::Schurz had
devised to practically suspend the grant.
ing Of pensions to volunteers. The
general Grafton to Grant will perhaps
teach the willy and unscrupulcus Secre.
tary Of the Interior lesson. The fact
is that Grants service as volunteer Of.
fcer in the Federal Army TO which, and
not to his political course, this unparall.
eled recognition is being given. indi-
Gates general interest in the North
in the soldiers Of the North. Mr..
Schurz has no reception. anywhere,
because Of anything lie did as soldier.
but he should not for that reason ignore
the fact that an interest is still felt in
them. The Grant reception and the
100000 people Who attended ooldiers'
meeting in Connecticut the other day,
show The contrary. Neither should
Democrats wherever residing forget it.
Those Of Ohio did not in nominating
their State ticket. They placed on it
two as gallant aoldiers as ever fought,
! and on election day, despite the Repub.
iican money which attempts TO make
every polling place an auction block
they will have their reward.
The extent Of this Grant enthusiasm
shows. too, That. if he chooses lie can
probably be the radical candida for tue
Presidency next year. This is interest.
