The Trade Dollar NIL.

The Senate Finance Committee, by a ma.
jority vote, made several important amend.
ments in the House bill providing for the
exchange of trade dollars for legal tender
silver dollars, and decided its further con.
sideration should be postponed until next
December, with the understanding, how.
ever, that the bill and amendments are then
to be reported to the Senate as practicable.
The principal amendmentadopted provides
that the exchange of legal tender dollars
for trade dollars shall be at the market
value of the latter, "regarded as
bullion" and not cat par" as provided
by the House. The committee also
struck out the House proviso "that trade
dollars recoined under this act shall not be
counted as part of the coinage of silver re-
quired by the act Of February %, 1873"
The vote on the question of adopting these
amendments, and also on po%stponing the
report until next December was as follows
Yeas, Aessrs. Bayard, Herman, Morrill, and
Ferry; nays, Messrs. Wallace, Voorhees, and
Beck. Senators Allison and Jones oI
Nevada were paired. The principal reason
for not reporting the bill at this session is t.
preclude the possibility of the Warner Sill
yer Bill being moved as amendment il

Suicide by

One Of the strangest cases of suicide on
record, occurred a few miles northeast Of
Hagerstown, Indiana. Several weeks since
farmer by the name of George Hoover,
Smitten by the charms of q grass widow,
expressed to some friends his intention of
leading her to the hymeneal altar. Mr..
Hoover was q member of the Dunkard
Church, one of the laws Of which Church
rohibits a male member from marrying a
divorced woman. The Church, on being
notified of his intention, warned him to de.
sist, and that If he took the step he would
certainly be expelled. Hepaid no heed to
this warning, but married the widow and in
consequence was turned from the Church.
The expulsion was SO embarrassing to him
that life soon after became an unbearable
burden, and he commenced a slow process
of starvation, partaking of an insufficient
quantity of food to sustain life. His wife
and friends begged him to eat, drink and
live, and the Church, when they saw that
he was earnestly bent on self-destruotion
offered to reinstate him as a member, .but
all in vain each day he ate less than ON the
preceding one, when, after about five or sil
weeks of voluntary starvation, he died.

Terrible Catastrophe I'm Philadelphia.
Such q calamity as the explosion Of an
immense tubular boiler at the extensive
sash and planing-mills Of A.. Wilt & Son, on
Frontstreet, Philadelphia, has not had its
parallel in the history of local catastro.
Plies for several years. At about half.past
seven o'clock the engineer Of the works,
Michael 'Dietel, discovered that tha fires
beneath the boilers needed replenhhing,
and he proceeded to add to the flames
shovel after shovel of sawdust. Having
thus r~eplenished and fed the FIRE, he sat
himself down and began to peruse a morn.

he had closed the furnace doors there val
an explosion. Dietel did not live q second
after that ominous and awful report, but
the thirty-fve men who were running the
machines were SO terrified by its meaning
that, panic.stricken, they rushed wildly fol
every avenue Of escape to the street.
A squad of iremen worked desperately
all day clearing away the debris of q house
that stood just at the corner of the alley
and into which the exploded boiler hat
plunged, and anxiously looking undel

How q Governor Was Arrested as a
Horse-Thief.

H0rse-Thief.
Il is related that while Thomas Mann
Randolph was Governor of Virginia he
was once arrested within a few hundred
yards of his home. in this county, and
carried q prisoner to his own house. The
story is to the following effect; The
Governor was on a visit to his home,
and, finding that the fencing on his
plantation was pulled down and burned
by wagoners passing along from the
Valley to Richmond, he determined to
detect and punish them. One evening
he observed a party go into camp on
the roadside, and after dark he strolled
down to a point where he could con-
veniently watch them. He stayed out
all night, but the wagoners made no
| depredations on his fences. In the
early morning, however, when they
were about to kindle the fires to pre-
pare breakfast, they started out to
gather up what fuel they might find for
that purpose, when they spied a man
sitting on the fence a short distance
ahead.
Now, it appears that a short time be-
fore, Gov. Randolph had issued his
proclamation, offering a reward for the
capture of an escaped horse-thief, and
the wagoners, who had seen the descrip.
ton of the convict, thought they dis.
covered a close resemblance between
the man on the fence and the escaped
felon. So thoroughly satisfied were
they that they would receive the re.
ward for his arrest that they approached
and announced that he was their pris
oner. One of them proposed, as he
cracked his wagon-whip, to give him
thrashing and then let him go, but hit
companion protested that it wa proper
to ascertain certainly whether he wa.
the. guilty party before inficting the
punishment, and proposed to take hin
to the residence of Gov. Randolph
which was near by, and get his ad
vice. Accordingly, they marched
their prisoner up to the house, and
knocking at the front door, a servan
made his appearance, of whom they in
quired:
SIS your master at home?"

A desperate struggle. which makes of
Miss Carrie Roberts q heroine, recently
took place at the residence of G.. q.
Kitchen, a farmer living near Monroe,
Warren county, Ohio. MI. Kitchen is
q well-to-do farmer, having no family
but his wife, and the girl, Carrie Rob-
erts, is employed as a domestic in his
household. Mr.. and Mrs. Kitchen
went to Hamilton to attend to some
business matter. leaving the house in
charge of the girl Roberts. Some hired
men were working the fields some dis
lance away from the house, but the girl
was the only person at home. When
MI. Kitchen and his wife had been some
time gone, and the girl YVES engaged in
attending to some duties up stairs, she
thought she heard q noise in q room be-
low, and, coming to the top of the
stairway and looking down, she per
ceived a strange, ll-looking man en-
gagged in ransacking o bureau-drawer in
the sitting room. The girl knew that
there was a large amount Of money
slowed away in a tin box, which box
was concealed in this bureau. Besides
the money, there was also q lot of
iewelry, belonging to the fami-
ly, in the same place. The
brave girls resolve was instantly
taken, and while the robber was en-
gagged in transferring the valuables from
the box to his pockets, ne was aston
ished by the child suddenly ~springing
upon him like a tigress, fastening her
| hands in his hair, and endeayoring to
wrench the box from his clutches. For
o moment he was almost dumbfounded,
but he finally recovered himself, and
began to try and release himself from
the girls hold. But this he was unable
to do, although he dragged the game
and plucky maiden through a hallway
into the dining-room. Still she held
on to him, clinging SO closely that he
vas unable to strike her and push hel
as he would to release himself. With
remarkable GOODNESS and presence Of
mind, when this strange pair had
reached the dining-room, the girl re
membered hat there was a revolver or
top of the clock. For a moment she
let go her hold upon the tramp, and
getting upon a chair, she succeeded il
finding the weapon, and commenced
blazing away without ceremony. Thu
first shot caught the robber in the hand
and he dropped the treasure that hi
still held. He then commenced to bea
