RIOTERS INDICTED
For Tarring Jim Young ut New PhiIadel.
phiR, ohio.

PhNt oAtVs
NEW PHILADELPHIA, February 7.-Quite
a sensation was created here to-day by the
announcement that the Grand Jury had
indicted nine prominent young men Of
this place for participating in the tarring
Of jim Young about two months ago.
Young was charged with abusing his wife,
and one dark night in November last,
while on his way home, he was seized by
body Of masked men, who, after hood
winking him, hurried him off to the
coal-tar pump at the Gasworks. Here
they saturated him with warm coal.tar
from head to foot, and beat and bruised him
considerably in the bargain. The per-
,petrators then allowed their victim to de-
part, When he arrived home the coal.tar
had cooled and solidided, incasing his
body in solid coat, almost as hard as
iron. Turpentine, benzine and scrubbing.
brushes were used, and the entire night
spent in trying to relieve him. II was a
wonder that he could live through such q
siege. The New York illustrated papers
came out with cuts OF the tarring, and the
disgraceiul affair was the town talk for
weeks. About twenty-five men, 1t is said,
had hand in the matter; but their names
were not known until they came before the
Grand Jury this week. II they are fonnd
guilty they will be heavily fined and i'm
prisoned, 1t Is thought. A few knowing
ones assert, however, that the Grand Jury
missed 1t badly and got the "wrong pigs
by the ear" The trial is looked forward
10 with great interest,

LONDON, February IA dispatch from
Paris says: Jules Cazot, Minister OF Jus
tice, in an interview with the committee
on the subject Of the amnesty bill, stated
that the Government objected to 1t as re-
opening the question settled last year as
to the enactment OF the partial amnesty
law. They reserve to themselves, how.
ever, the right OF individual pardons, and
would furnish a copy OF the dispositions
against them 10 any persons condemned
by default who might apply for 1t, though
such favor Is contrary 10 usage. The
number OF persons still excluded from
clemency is S06. OF these, 543 were con-
demned in person and 26S by default, in
cluding Paul de Rocheiort.
Cassagnac has written letter to Gam.
beta, thanking him for the justice rem
dered to the memory OF the formers
father in the Chamber while announcing
his death.
PARIS, February I'm the Chamber Of
Deputies to-day Perier read the commit
tees report on the General Amnesty Bill.
The report advocates its absolute erejection.
Debate on the bill has been fixed for
Thursday next, until which time the
Chamber adjourned.
1t was reported in the lobbies Of the
Chamber that Admiral Jaureguibbery,
Minister OF Marine, had resigned.
Mace, Chief Of Police, has sent in his
resignation, explaining that it would be
for him TO conscientiously re-
tain his post while the present organiza-
ton Of the police is adhered to. He par
ticularly complains Of long delays which
occur between the commission Of crime
and transmission OF details 10 him by the
Judges d'Instruction. To such unneces-
sary delay he attributes the escape Of the
assassin Walder.
Paul de Cassagnac resigned as Deputy
for Condom, and presents himself as a
candidate for Miraudein, the place OF his
father, recently deceased.

LONDON, February IA dispatch from
Berlin says: The appeal OF the Bavarian
Ultramontanes, imploring the King not TO
consent to the augmentation OF the army,
forecasts the attitude of the Center party
toward the Army Bill, in the hope to
compel Bismarck to make concessions on
the Church question. This hope may
prove fallacious, as the Government is
almost certain to have the requisite ma
jority without the Ultramontanes. Even
provincial Progressis's organs begin to
acknowledge the necessity for an increase
OF the army.
BERLIN, February THE Lower House
OF the Diet to-day resumed the debate on
public worship estimates. Herr Jadoz-
gevski complained OF the harsh applica.
ton Of the May laws in the Province OF

Of Worship, replied that the Government

AMusEMENrs.-Fanny Davenport having
cancelled her engagements in this city will
not appear at the Opera House this week.
By the recent death OF her manager, her
plans were considerably deranged.
The Rent;,Santley Nopetiy CompGny.-The
above combination has been booked for
the Opera House for Saturday night. The
Denver (Col.) Ncps says OF it: The Rentx
Minstrels and Burlesque Company were
greeted with another large and enthusiastic
audience at the Opera House last night.
The audience was larger Ii anything than
that Of the first night, and the aisles ofthe
first and second floors were well lined
with male wall flowers. Another
characteristic OF the gathering was the
fact that the entertainment called out a
larger number OF ladies than on the open-
ing night, and the fethers and plumes of
bright bonnets served to relieve, though
not TO an alarming extent, the monotony
Of black coats and bald heads. The
minstrel scene was an improvement on
the previous evenings performance, and
a number OF the ballads were encored.
The specialties were given with vim and
spirit, and there was pleasing variety,
both in the songs, sketches and dancing,

CHICAGO, February To-day was an.
other field day in the local market for
pork. The price declined 42! cents per
barrel, or 8! per cent. Parties who are
carrying the property seem to have be-
come impressed with the fact Of extraor-
dinarily big stocks, and the "long" are to
GONE extent pinched for money to protect
their contracts. Hence the drops.
There has been gradual tendency to
ease in the local money market for the
week, loanable funds being in large sup.
ply, and the offerings OF paper below the
wishes OF our discount.houses, and parties
in good standing found no difficulty in
getting their wants supplied at 7aS per
cent. per annum on tip-top collaterals. On
call, with Governments as security, the
"neediul" was obtained at per cent.
Business in mercantile departments has
been healthy and fairly active for the sea-
son, and deposits during the week show an
increase over those Of the preceding week.
Paper falling due has in most instances
been paid promptly, and when extensions
or renewals we're asked the banks granted
the favors cheerfully.
The amount OF currency sent TO the
farming districts has been fair to live
stock but light to grain sections. Our ele-
vators are nearly filled, but are being
stored with little grain daily. There is
still room for little more, and there is
considerable storage room on vessels in
the river not yet contracted for.

Banks foot up q total OF $39,025, ,173 60,
being an increase OF SIG, 167, ,7O7 So over

A woman Outraged and Shot by Her
Nephew.


LONDONDERRY, N. H., February S.-A
fearful tragedy was enacted near this
place yesterday, in which Mrs. Sarah,
aged SO, wife OF E. o. Dillingham;, a re.
spectacle farmer, was the victim, and a
nephew Of the husband, Frank Dilling-
ham, aged 20, was the criminal. Frank
went to live with his uncle last April, and
yesterday Mr.. Dillingham; went to Man

called TO see his sister, and found the

saws he was cleaning the revolver which
was accidentally discharged, but does not

Of her underclothing. He says he went
into the woods back Of the house and
tried to shoot himself with the same re-
yolyer, but failed through lack OF courage
or some other cause, though an ugly pull
let hole was made in his forehead, the
bullet penetrating his skull.
