Jersey Justice.

Train Dispatcher Verts, Of the Phila
delphia and Atlantic CITY Railway,
was taken into custody on Saturday,
and held in S5, 900 bail on the charge
Of the murder Of Erskine Wood, one Of
the brakemen. In the morning Coroner
Jefries went before Justice Cassidy and
made affidavit of the result of the in
quest on Friday. Then an uncle Of
Woods made an affidavit, charging
Verts with the murder Of his nephew.
The relatives Of the other four victims
would have made similar afidavits
could they have reached in time. How
ever this was sufficient, and constables
Gallagher and Franks started down to
the narrow gauge depot, where they
found Verts still engaged in the occu-
patton of running trains.
Warrants were also issued for Red
man, the telegraph operator; Ewing
the conductor, and johnson the engi.
neer of the freight train, and Thomas
Pennypacker, the engineer Of the ex-
cursion train. All but Verts were
wanted as witnesses. Redman was the
only one, except Verts, who appeared
at that time. Justice Cassidy commit
ted the assistant superintendent to pris-
on, without bail as bail in cases of man
slaughter can only be accepted by a
Justice of the Supreme Court. Later in
the evening Verts found Judge Wood
hull, and entered the required security,
as did Redman and Pennypacker, the
last two being required to give bonds
in $500 each.

Dutch fortunes appear to hang sweet

American citizen. Mr.. Birney, United
States Minister at the Hague, is abso-
lutely showed up with letters from
Americans who fancy themselves heirs
to large estates in Holland. Scarcely
mail reaches him without letters from
some OF the States or Territories of the
Union and from Canada and New
B unswick, earnestly asking his assis-
tance to recover interests in estates al
legged to be ready for distribution. Mr..
Birney declares hat he has every rea-
son to be convicted that for several
year past systematic and remunera
tive fraud has been perpetrated upon
the American people. There are NO
traces to. be found of the estates men
ton. d. Mr.. Birnie says that the notices
regarding such estates appearing in
American papers are the invention OF
agents who are dscsiving the credulous
and getting handsome revenues from
their contributions, given under the
delusion that these agents are busy in
proving their claims--to estates which
have no existence. Mr.. Birney ear
nsstly urges these visionary Americans
to cease their hunt after imaginary
fortunes and keep their money in hand I,

MEssRs. EDIToRs The reporter OF
the Philadelphia "Reoord" misunder-
stood me when he stated in that paper
of the 18th inst, that l told him the
Honorable Thomas Bailey Potter, men,
ber Of Parliament, and the Secretary Of
the London Golden Club, and the Hon.
Mr.. Foster, also member of Parliament,
approved of my scheme Of a railroad
from New York to London by way of
Beehring Straits. do not know that
those gentlemen ever heard of my pro-
lection OF this road. What stated to
him was That Mr.. Foster was in favor
Of, and Mr.. Potter also, believe, ap.
proved of my plan of an Anglo-Saxon
Confederation, or the unity Of the
United States with Great Britain and
her colonies under one government
The reporter Of the "kecord was also
in error when he stated that told him
that the Russian Prince, Duke Alexis,
called upon me. have never had the
honor of meeting Duke Alexis, or even
of seeiug him. What did tell the re-
porter of the "Record" was: That an
agent of the Emperor of Russia had
called upon me, and that We had some
conversation together in relation to the
projected road. But this gentleman was
not Duke Alexis, but Captain J. c. De-

Getting StalWart.

If the Demscratic party wants to
carry single Northern State next year
it should hasten to repudiate the course
of those Mississippi Democrats who
drive off opposition candidates by vio-
lent measures. The Federal bayonet
in posse is much less formidable dan
ger to the Northern mind than the bull
dozer's shotgun IN esse. If it gets to
be understood that the Democratic par
ty in the South will not allow the exis-
tence Of any political opposition, the
average Northern man will decide that
it is not the party to rule this country.
1t ceases to be a question of party, and
becomes one Of civilization and free
government. We do not hesitate to
say that the course of the Mississippi
Democrat, ifpersisted in, merits the ex.
treme penalty applicable to State
which fails to maintain Republican
form of Government, and justifes the
employment of the Federal army, If
necessary, to enforce obedience to the
Constitution Boston Herald.

DisinfActRnla.

A series OF experiments conducted by
a chemist in behalf of the New York
Board of Health, with an intent to dis
cover what is the best disinfectant for
ordinary use, has resulted in the an
nounoement that "under every variety
of circumstances carbolic acid is the
most reliable disinfectant in the mar
ket." 1t is alleged also that "carbo-
lates of lime possess little disinfecting
virtue, the little they do possess being
mainly due to the Stacked lime they
contain. Lime is efficient at first, but
inefficient when prolonged action is ex-
pected." A bottle Of carbolic acid is a
good thing for everybody to have in the
house at this time of the year. Free
of the acid in offensive
places and such ventilation as will en-
sure the best possible supply of pure
air, may often ward off disease.

the ardor Of preachers or people. At
o'clock love feast was held presided
over by Rev. N. B. Brown, which Rev,

most remarkable he had ever attended
from the fact that the time was NOT
taken up in singing or long speeches,
that 30 many spoke in 80 short time
and all testified with such unanimity
Of the saving power Of Christ.

influence seemed to yervade the as,

dresses were delivered by Mrs. Mat

o'clock an instructive discourse was
delivered by Rev. Mr.. Single Of Sea-

held at the tabernacle. Mrs. Boyer

Rev. G. F. Sheppard opened the SER

Tho Negroes Who Have Gone to
Kansas Very Well Satisfied.

| A special despatch from Washington,
says: A private letter from Governor
st. John, Of Kansas, says he does moi
know Of a single refugee having re.
turned to the South. He says that the
agents sent to his State by planters
have used every inducement to per.
suade refugees to return, but after
several weeks effort they have aban-
doned their mission. The Governor
says the refugees as rule are indus.
trious, sober and we'll behaved. They
are not psupers, but will, If afforded
anything like reasonable opportunity,
not only make their own living, but
will, before many years, provide for
themselves comfortable homes and add
wealth and prosperity to any State that
will protect them in life and property,
and such rights as the law guarantees
to every good citizen.
Information is received here from
Mississippi to the effect that the plant,
srs throughout that State are fearing a
great increase of the exodus OF labor
ers as soon as the cotton crop is gath
cred. The planters are organizing in
all directions to discourage the negroes
from migrating.
One of the methods devised and now
in process Of execution, is to send com
panies Of negroes to Kansas under the
charge Of instructed guides who are to
show them all the disadvantages Of that
State and convince them that the whites
do not want them, and that the eli
mate is uncongenial. One company of
several hundred has already been dis.
patched to Kansas. The expenses arc
horne by subscription among planters.
The railroads have also taken an in
terest in the matter and granted spe-
oial facilities. The hope OF the planters
is that under the statements which will
bs made to this large company. by per.
sons employed for the purpose and un-
der the misrepresentation Of instruct.
I'd guides, ths negroes will return to
Mississippi and mrks such report to
their colored neighbors as will check
the exodus.
1t Is noted that the negroes who are
sent North in this manner to spy out
the land are not permitted to take any
baggage with them. A shrewd colored
man in this city, who is refugee from
Mississippi, ventures the prediction
that Notwithstanding the lack of bag
gage, good share of the negroes once
sant forth will stav there.
