on Saturday, by Deputy Sheriff Allen, Of
Mystic. Tiff has been for years a member
Of the Baptist church at Mystic and was
supposed to be one of the most respectable
citizens of the place. His wife died some
days since and lady at the funeral dscov-
cred several articles which had been stolen
from her. A warrant was issued, but Tiff
got wind OF It, and as the officers entered
the front door he fled from the back, leav-
ing some $7O0 of silver, which had been
stolen from various neighbors, OH his
table.

as Frank b rennan, teamster, twenty-one
years old, was walking along the street he
met party engaged in row. He tried
to quiet the disturbance, when an English
man named James Garrett stabbed him in
the groin with chlsel, severing the main
artery. Brennan died In fifteen minutes.
He leaves wife and two children, the
youngest three weeks old. Garrett was
arrested.
GEE A singular accident occurred at
Bairstown, Ia, the other day. Two boys,
each about ten years old, made banter
for each to start from the opposite side of
the street with their eyes closed and run to
the middle of the street to see which could
reach that point the soonest. The conse-
quence was collision both fell insensible,
one with broken nose, and the other
with broken leg about four inches above
the knee.

Collision.

PHILADELPHIA, August 14.-A seri-
GUS accident occurred upon the Atlantic
City narrow gauge railroad this after
noon, which resulted in the death of
five persons and the injury of two 9th
ers. At half past two a special excur-
sion train left this city for Atlantic city,
consisting of nine cars and containing
about 300 men, women and children. A
freight train was coming from Atlantic
city and expected to reach Clementon,
station eleven miles below Camden,
in time to allow the express train to
pass them there. When nearing Glenn
enton the excursion train was heard
coming at the rate of 80 miles an hour.
The engineers saw each other at about
the same time, but too late to avoid a
collision. The freight train was partly
thrown down an embankment, but the
passenger train remained on the track,
although being considerably damaged
Both engineers and firemen escaped in
jury by jumping from their engines.
The conductor and two brakemen of the
passenger train, deaf mute and pas
senger who were on the platform were
almost instantly killed. The passengers
inside were not injured.
There was great excitement in the
cars when the collision occurred, and
the passengers were compelled d to crawl
out through the windows.

Mormon Resentment.

OGDEN, Utah, August I2.-The con-
viction and imprisonment of Reynolds
for polygamy, the murder of Standing
the Mormon preacher in Georgia and
the imprisonment of Geo. s. Cannon,
the DELEGATE to Congress, and the execu-
tors of the Brigham Young estate, have
caused bitter feeling, and the leading
church paper has lately entertained
threatening letters, and inflammatory
speeches have been made. The idea Of
a circular to foreign countries is treated
with contempt. 1t is claimed that it
would be absurd to suppose that any
European government would undertake
to establish an inquisition to determine
the religious faith of emigrants or that
they intend to enter into polygamy.-
There is no evidence of any intention
of foFeible resistance to the government,
but the Mormons have good military
organization and are mostly well
armed.

A Bold Robbery.

A daring robbery was committed yes
terday afternoon at the Philadelphia
Screw Works, corner of Twelfth and
Buttonwood streets. Shortly after three
o'clock man entered the office, and
upon pretence of desiring to order GER
tain work done, engaged Mr.. Richard
G. Farthing, the cashier, In conversa-
ton. While the two men were thus
busy another man entered, and snatch
ing bag containing $4O0 from the
desk, holted to the street, closely follow
ed by his par. Mr.. Farthing gave chase
and overlook the pair at Thirteenth and
Callowhill streets. A fight followed,
the cashier being badly cut in the head
with chisel. His cries brought pa
trolman to the scene, who presented a
revolver, and this induced one of the
fellows to surrender, but his accomplice
escaped. The prisoner was taken to the
Eighth District Station-house, where
he gave the name of G. Henry Adams,
and his residence as at 1144 Locust ST.. i,
but there is no such number there. He
He is believed to be recently-arrived
Englshman, as his conversations shows
him to be of that nationality, and his
evident ignorance of localities here in
dicates that he is stranger. This
chisel with which Mr.. Farthing was
assaulted, together with the stolen cash,
were found near the scene of the arrest.

contents passed through his head and
caused his death in short time. The
mother of the boy and Il child four
years Of age were at the dinner table at
the time, and the boy was outside of the
house. The mother did not know that
he had the weapon until she heard the
report, when she ran out and found him
lying on the ground, with the fearful
wound in his head. She sent impaedi-
ately for some nighbors, and message
was dispatched for q physician, but the
child died in about five minutes.

A cyoIopedla for $40 90.


Perhaps the most rema rlsable literary enter
prise OF the time, is the publication Of the
Library OF Universal knowledge, 20 volumes
OF nearly 1000 pages each, handsomely bound,
for 90 cents per volume, or 5000 for the set.
~ Is reprint entire ofthe last (1S79) Edln:
burgh and London edition Of Chambers
Encyclopaedia A Dictionary Of Universal
knowledge for the People, with very large adj
dtlons upon topics of special interest to Amer
lean readers. The amount OF matter will
somewhat exceed that of the Cyclopedas of
Appleton or johnson, though the price ia but
fraction of their cost. Volume one is to be
ready early In September, and the others will
follow at very short intervals. The remark
ably low price are accounted for by the method
of sale to the subscribers direct, saving them
the large commission, often of 80 or 60 per
cent, paid TO agents or dealers also, by the
recent great reduction in the cost of making
books, and by making very large sales. This
certainly Is work that the mllions will APP
preclate. Special inducements are offered to
early subscribers and to clubs.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 80, 1879.

It is claimed that, without any considerable
increase in the amount of imports, the Gov
ernment collected about s6,0O0,00O more of
duties for the year ending June 30th, 1870,
than in the last preceding year.
Mr.. Tilden, who is perhaps as good authori-
ty as any one in such matter, says the coun-
try is entering upon an era of gla aat prosperity.
Abundant crops, with good foreign market,
the perceptible revival of manufacturers, and
a return of business confidence, are all signs
of the prosperity Mr.. Tilden speaks of. 1t is
also said that great transcontinental rail-
road company, which for years has been ask
ing Congress for guarantee of its bonds, had
found purchasers abroad for S24 900, 900 of them
without such guarantee, and that indicates in
telligent in the growth and prosperity of the
country.
Among the resolutions adopted at q meeting
of delegates from all parts of Maryland, yes
terday, was the following very wise one which
might be generally adopted throughout the
country with profit;
Gan unnecessary and superhuous offices
should be abolished, and the salaries and fees
of others be reduced and restricted by law. In
view Of the present high purchasing power of
money, this may be effected without injustice
or hardships to officials, and with great advan-
tage to the State"
The late report that a poverty-stricken cler-
gyman Of this city had drawn prize in a lot
terry, has had Its usual effect here, and large
numbers of persons are squandering their last
dollar in an effort to do the same thing, forget
ting the many thousands of chances against
them. Probably more orders for lottery tickets
have gone from Washington this month than
in any month before.
We have seven Judges of the Courts of this
District, yet but one has been in the District
during the months Of July and August, and for
part of the time not one. The reason for this
is that the Judges are appointed by parties not
responsible to the District, and the people
having no vote, are powerless.
The Secretary of the Interior yesterday, with
commendable frmness refused to hear an ap-
plication to reinstate person who was a clerk
in that Department, and was twice discharged
for drunkenness, though the application was
earnestly pressed by gentlemen of standing
and influence. A continuance in the like
course would raise the standard of merit in
every Department.
The President has yielded to circumstances
in the matter of certain valuable lands in
Dakota, which were withdrawn from settle
ment in 1875. The withdrawal was to prevent
the whites from pressing too closely on the
Indian frontier. But 1t was found that, though
the withdrawal kept out good citizens, the bad
ones paid no attention to it. To give good
citizens an even chance with bad ones, the
lands are now restored TO settlement. But
what do the Indians think Of it
OLIVE.

Hhe Right Of Secession Reasserted.


The position of Alexander ii. Ste
phens as political thinker gives an
Importance to his declarations such as
can properly be accorded TO no other
leader of Southern public opinion. His
intellect dominates his feelings and his
utteranoes partake of the nature of a
definition of opinion. Besides, his we'll
known conservatism of character and
his general moderation of view justify
us in regarding as of great significance
his recent public reaffirmation of his
belief in the existence of the right Of
State secession from the Union. In a
letter to the Louisville Journal Mr..
Stephen says:
"The right of secession 1 never ques-
toned and have defended with all the
power could command, but my judg-
ment was very decided against the
policy. My mind on the these subjects
has undergone no change and is not
likely to undergo any,"
This dangerous declaration deserves
to arrest the attention of the whole
country.

was accidentally shot and killed yester-
day afternoon at Etna. The boy had
taken an old musket, which had been
standing in corner of the room for a

he was cleaning the weapon. AT at any

The other night, while young man
named Henry Woods was calling on a
Miss Hudson, atAer fathers residence
at Lackey Bend, near Windso, ILL.,, a
party of unknown men seized him and
took him to the Okaw river, about a
mile distant. AS tracks were discovered
in the sand at the waters edge indica-
ting struggle, the supposition is that
Woods was drowned in the river by his
captors.
