Early Snow Storms.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct, IT, The
wind storm which prevailed here yester-
day and last night was the severest ever
known In this section, and the barome-
ter was never known to be so low. The
wind was from the south, blowing be-
tween sixty and seventy miles an hour.
A large fleet of vessels sought this har-
Dor for safety and rode out the gale In the
Bay. Dispatches from La Crosse say
the storm along the Southern Minnesota
Railway was the severest known In
years. Passenger and freight trains
along the line were blockaded in snow
drifts from ten to twelve feet deep, and
teams with provisions have been des-
patched to their relief from several
points. The train which left La Crosse
on Friday has not been heard from since
leaving Fulda, that night. All the cuts
west of Falrmont are filled with snow,
packed hard. Reports of cattle, horses
etc., having perished are constantly re-
ceived, but no loss of human life has vet
been reported. 1t is the worst storm
ever known in southern Minnesota and
eastern Dakota, and is still raging.
SIOUX CITY, Ia, October 19.-- All
the roads leading to this city, except the
Sioux City and Pacific, have been block
AIDED by snow, but the Central of Iowa
is open to-day, and the other roads are
fast getting out of the drifts. The
weather has not been cold hut large
losses in stock are reported

A Singular Case.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 21.-- Last
night George A. Wheeler went to the
police station and confessed that he had
murdered his sister-in-law, Della j. Till
son, in lodging house at No. 90 Kear-
ney street, and packed her body in a
trunk. His statement was at once veri-
fled. The circumstances of the case are
remarkable. The deceased had been liv-
ing with her sister, and Wheeler and
the latter had subjected her to his de-
sires, his wife being cognizant of the
fact but concealing the affair to avoid
scandal. Latterly q man by the name of
George w. Peckham, who became ac-
quainted with the family some time ago
at Cisco, Placer county, sought to marry
Della. This created jealousy on the
part of Wheeler, who yesterday, while
Della was sitting on his lap, cho ked her
to death. Wheeler and his family for
merly lived in New York.

Outrage near Milford, Pa.

MILFORD, Pa, Oct 49, A servant
girl in the employ of VIM. H. Rose,
living near this place, while going out
into the garden after wood on Saturday
night was seized by man, who threw
her to the ground, jumped upon her,
breaking two of her ribs, and is said to
have stabbed her two or three times in
the chest. She was found unconscious
and is believed to be lying at the point
of death. Her assaiIant is believed to
have been wealthy farmer, relative
of her employer, who is at enmity with
Roses wife. The assailant evidently
mistook the servant for Mrs. Rose.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
wAsurNoroN, D. c., October 20. Il

WAsHISGToN, d. c., October 20, 1880.
One year from tomorrow October 21st,)
will be celebrated at Yorktown the Centennial
anniversary of the surrender of CORVALLIS
This event closed the war of the Revolution,
though the treaty ofpeace was not signed for
two years. The interest felt In the celebration
In the South Is already great. At Richmond
charter has been granted to prominent men
of different parts of the country, who organize
for the promotion of the celebration. The
President of the organization is Judge Robert
Ould, and its Vice Presidents are from Penn
sylvania and Massachusetts,. The name taken
is the yorktown Centennial Association, %
and the principal Office will be at Richmond.
The most emphatic portion of Secretary
sheiman's speech at the serenade to him on
Monday evening, and that which received most
applause, was his attack upon the doctrine of
State rights" and his demand for a central
government based upon the changed condition
of our affairs. His declaration that as the
States became more numerous the relative
importance of each one became less, was
unanimously applauded.
Secretary Schurz is expected back from the
East tomorrow. There has been since his
departure general expression of regret that
he should be absent while affairs of SO grave
importance with the Ute difficulty need the
best attention the Interior Department can
give them.
Arrangements are being made here to prevent
the proposed sale, for debt, of Mrs. Fassets'
painting of the Electoral Commission. Infu-
entail gentleman will, it is said, advance the
necessary money, and attempt to reimburse
themselves by securing an appropriation from
Congress for the purchase of the painting.
No offer from individuals, of amounts nearly
equal to the artists estimate of the value of
the painting, have been received.
Those advocating the distribution of the
Geneva Award fund by the coming Congress,
are now actively engaged In preparing the
merits of the different classes of claimants In
which they are interested, for presentation.
Though there are different plans for the auai
The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1880-10-26

distribution Of this fund, tho different classes
OF claimants will combine In resisting the third
proposition Of its disposal, namely to make
II part Of the sinking fund for the reduction
and payment of the public debt. This Geneva
matter has claimed the attention of Coupreae
at almost every session since the award was
made by Great Britain much discussion has
been had upon It, but not one good and valid
reason has yet been advanced why the money
should not be distributed TO claimants, the
merits of whom to be declared, of course, by
Congress. The plan of using this fund to the
reduction of the public debt lie simply an easy
way of getting out of troublesome question.
The money was paid to this country for dam
ages sustained by citizens. The understand
Ing plainly was that the money shonld be used
for the purpose awarded, and Il would be
clearly breach of faith, blot upon the Ma
tiou's honort to use II for any other purpose.
The award says the money is paid for the "sat-
isfaction of all claims REFERRED" The
"clalms" were for damages, hence it follows,
that the money was awarded TO pay these
claims for damages, and to use 1t for another
purpose would be other than contemplated
when IL was paid. The United States did not
claim the money to reduce its public debt, but
to remunerate those who suffered by the Ala
bama and her sister cruisers. Let every honest
man In this country feel an interest in this
subject, 1t is one not only concerning ourselves,
but another Nation. Let our congressman
apd Senators prove themselves men of honor
by awarding this money, not to themselves,
but to those for whom 1t was demanded and
paid.

The oueerest Verdict for a Month.

We note with certain feeling of
municipal pride that as source of diver
sion the glory of the Detroit jury has
lost none of its ancient lustre. Age can
not wither it nor custom stale its infin-
lite variety. In the Jackman adultery
case in the recorders court, for instance,
the jury returned this verdict: 1--WE
find the prisoner at the bar not guilty,
on account of his innocent wife and five
children" Considering that the wife
was the plaintiff and had made out a
clear case, this verdict was especially
kind. Detroit Press.

Bank Notes Preferred to Gold.


In Chicago the curious spectacle is
just now presented of the banks doing
all they possible can to get rid of the
necessity of using gold. They cannot
pay it out to their customers, as the lat
ter do not like to use it. They prefer
greenbacks and National notes.
Nor do the banks like to use It in pay.
ing their Clearing House balances, as it
is too cumbersome, too costly and too
risky for this purpose. Banks that
happen to have credit balances at the
Clearing House have been known to
send to five different banks, which had
debit balances, in order to induce the
officers of these latter to give their
checks in liquidation of the same, pre-
ferring to take them to the gold. In
this way the banks manage to use as
little gold as possible in liquidating their
balances. The matter with all the
banks is as to the whereabout of the
greenbacks and bsnk-notes. They seem
to have been so diffused through the
country that it is impossible to collect
any large amount of them together at
any one point.

Railroad Accidents.

A collision occurred on the Cinein-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton Railroad on
Wednesday morning last, at Jones'
station, nineteen miles north of Cincin-
natl. The train known as the Sidney
accommodation was too late at this
place to reach its regular meeting point
of an outgoing train, and was taking q
side track, when train No. 10 came up
behind it and caught the rear car, which
had not deft the main track. The
engine broke its own upper works and
filed the car with escaping steam,
,scalding and otherwise iDjuring fifteen
passengers.
Z An accident on the Raleigh and Gas

"a" The Rev. DIR. Thomas of Chicago
is Methodist preacher who doesn't
believe in the Methodist theory of the
Atonement, or in the plenary inspira-
ton of the Scriptures, or in He'll; who
associates with Unitarans, and who is
even suspected of being ON friendly terms
with Agnostics. He makes no conceal
ment of his opinions and no apology for
his friendships. For years his goings-
on have scandalized some of the more
orthodox brethren, to whom it has
seemed grievous thing that hereto,
without the fear of Wesley's Sermons or
Watson's Institutes before his eyes,
should be preaching at fat salary to
the wealthiest congregation in the
Northwest, while they themselves are
sent by the Bishop to ride circuit on the
prairies, where they got less money in
year than DIR. Thomas pockets every
fortnight.
In Conference on Saturday one of
these brethren offered a resolution re-
questing the Rev. DR. Thomas to with
draw from the travelling connection
that is, to take himself out of the Meth
odist ministry. Another brother moved
the appointment of committee to find
out just how heretical the Doctor is.
The despatch says that the younger
preachers generally sided with the al
legged hereto. This, if fact, is a very
significant fact. 1t may well set ortho-
dox Methodists thinking.
After discussion, the erring brother
was voted out of the Methodist church.

Shot by a Hen.

Last week the Rev. Mr.. Petrey, Of
Stanford, Kentucky, who was holding a
protracted meeting at Rock Castle, went
to the house of one of the brethern to
spend the night. He had hardly got
seated before hen flew in the house
and attempted to alight on rifle that
hung on the wall. The weapon tipped
over, and falling on the lock was dis
charged, the ball taking effect in the
thigh of the preacher and causing lock-
jaw, from which he died on Wednes-
day.
