A Deaf Mute Reveals a Crime,
From the Salt Lake Herald


Last night Joseph Bernard, deaf
and dumb young man, aged about q
years, came into a police station, and
by his actions manifested a strong
desire to impart some information OF
very important character. After
watching his gestures for time, and
conversing with him in that manner
as near as could be understood, it Was
learned that he wished to say some
thing to the following effect: He had
Just returned from Park City OF vi
cinity, and on Sunday night three
men had broken into the house of a
person who was sleeping. Admission
had been gained by removing latch
lock. Two OF the men were masked,
while the third had heavy beard on
his face. The inmate of the house
had been sleeping, but must have
awakened and ARISEN, as one of the
masked men stabbed him with long
knife and then cut him across the alb
domen, lengthwise, and from the de
scription the cut must have been a
terrible one The robber with the
beard was then shot III the knee,
while the party stabbed sank into a
chair and died. One of the robbers
forced open a desk and took there
from a large roll of money, amount
ing, according to Bernard's own fig
ures, to some $4,000. The robbers
then made their escape. From his
description, they had their clothes
torn badly, and he showed the man
ner in which the apparel OF each was
broken The leg of the one shot in
the knee had swollen a great deal,
and al three were making for this
city rs rapidly as possible on foot
He showed by the watch they might
be here early this morning, and he
wanted them arrested. He evinced q
genuine appreciation of the wants OF
the three, as he drew the picture OF
a gallows on the slate and significant
ly put his fingers to his throat, rolled
up his eyes and went through a re
markably natural choking scene, while
he indicated by three of his fingers
that the hanging bee would not be
complete without three persons. He
was very earnest, and some are in
clined TO believe there is some found
alton in the story. He repeated the
pantomime several times, and each
time it WAS strikingly the same as the
others.

ANOTHER funny hotel elevator
scene-this tIme in New York. A new
ly married rural couple en- their wed
ding tour had just registered, and step
ped into the elevator. The groom re-
mem bered that be left his ualise at the
office, so he jumped out and ran back
for it. Meanwhile the bride went mp
in the elevator and got out on the next
floor, and started down 10 look for her
husband. The elevator then went on
up, and got a lady who was coming
down. When it reacned the first floor
again, the strange lady was surprised
by the groom rushing to embrace her,
thinking in bis furry that it was his
wife. just then the bride arrived in
time to see her husband bugging the
strange female. She got on her ear,
aud it took the whole establishment to
explain things"

THE following telegram was dis
patched from Harrisburg on Saturday
and explains itself: Superintendent
Wickershau is now preparing and will
next week issue warrants 10 school dis
tricis in the State covering the year
ended June, 1879, for one million dol
lars, the amount due them from the
State for that period. According to
the Superindendent's estimate the Com
moDwealth owes the schools about 81 :
100000. State Treasurer Noyes says
tic Treasury will be in condition to
cash sboa. half the amount of ths war
rants the present month. and the re-
,uainder will be IGNORED by the first OF
june next. Audiso- General Schell
will state in his annual report, which
will be out in a week. that by rigid
collection of taxes under the revenue
law, the deficiency in the Treasury,
amounting to over one million seven
hundred thousand dollars, will be made
up in two years.

How is this as an opinion from one
Of the judges of the Supreme Court
OF Virginia Judge Francis L. An
derson, OF the Virginia Supreme
Csurt, recently delivered an opinion
in favor of granting divorce to a
woman on the ground that her hus-
band had become Republican, say
ing "he had deserted ms friends and
gone over 20 the enemy, and had
joined in waging upon them a war
more cruel than the war of arms Ii
was the peridy-the moral taint-
which she felt attached to him. and
which would likely exclude him from
the best society of the State. But
a majority of the Court disagreed
with Judge Anderson.

The Soldiers Orphan Schools.

Recently, the question as to how the
supply of pupils to the S, idiers' Or
phan Schools is kept up, has been raised
by the newspapers. Superintendent
Wickersham makes answer TO the ques-
tion 10 the Philadelphia Times OF last
Saturday, as follows:
To correct the wrong impression like
ly to be made by a paragraph, copied
from the Bulletin, in that of to-day, in
relation to the number of children still
remaining in our soldiers orphan
schools, permit me to say:
FIRST. That the original legislation
on this subject provided only for the
education aud maintenance at the ex-
peuse Of tie State of the destitute chill
dren of soldiers who were killed or lost
their lives while in the army during the
war of the rebellion.
SECOND. That subsequent acts of the
Legislature extended the same provi-
sion to the destitute children Of SOL
diers who have died since the close of
tBt " al ulstaSc
therein, and to those of soldiers still
living but so disabled on account of
wounds or disease contracted iu the
service as to be unable to earn iivelr-
hood for their families or themselves.
THIRD. That of the 1900 children
Of soldiers now in school, under the
care Of the State, at least three-fourtbs
are orphans the remainder being the
children of men who have lost leg or
an arm or are otherwise badly crippled
or suffering from serious disease clearly
tracesble to their service in the army.
FOURTH. That these has been no
"perversion of the original purpose" in
regard to these children, but simply an
extension of tha: purpose to another
class of children equally deserving as
those xho first enjoyed the States ben
etactiSn.
