fine of g., 500.
tB- The Rev. Mr.. Smokey was preaching
at Carson Nevada, on the swallowing Of
Jonah by q whale. There were some sport
ing men in the congregation, and their
faces expressed doubt of the story. See
ing this, the minister said "I'll bet 800,
coin up that can prove every word Of 1t.
Does anybody respond ?" Nobody an
swered, and he went on with his discourse.
eB-A new officer at Vineland played a
bright trick the other day. An inoffensive
citizen was running to catch train, and
the officer stopped and arrested him for
violating new borough ordinance. He
was about to lock him up or make him pay
fifty cents, when a Councilman told him
there was no ordinance against running on
foot through the streets. The officer apollo
gzed and released his prisoner, saying
some one had told him that was the new
law.
n#- In an action for divorce commenced
at Minneapolis the plaintiff alleges that in
the year 1876 in the State of Vermont, he
married a young lady at the instigation of
deputy sheriff, who read to him warrant
for arrest, and threatened him with i'm
prisonment for non-c compliance. Since
that time he has not lived with his wife,
and alleges that he had not lived with her
before, had never proposed marriage to her.
and that there was no reason why he should
marry her. He further alleges that since
that time he has ascertaned that the officer
purporting to be deputy sheriff was not
an official of any kind, and had no warrant
of arrest.
CHICAGO, December 7-Whie the ac-
comodation train of the Michigan South

fifth street station tonight, William F.

lington and Quincy railroad, which was
backing on parallel track, without lights,
caught him and crushed him to DEATH
Mangled portions of his body were jammed
into space between the planks of the
street crossings and rails, and threw the
rear car of the freight train off the track.

cars were piled on top of it.. Switch Con-

Daring Robbery.

Early Wednesday evening last, while
John A. Lehman, a jeweler at 100 south
Thirteenth street, was alone in his store
he was startled by crash of glass, and
turning found that one of his window
panes had been broken. A man reached
in and seized tray of rings, with which
he proceeded to walk away. Mr.. Leh-
man jumped the counter and made a
rush for the door, but to his surprise
found it securely fastened with rope,
and by the time he succeeded in opening
it the thief had escaped with his plum
der, the total value of which is between
$3.50 and $500. The fellow in his flight
dropped small mallet, which had evil
IDENTIFY been used to shatter the glass.
Several of the rings were afterward
found on the west side of Thirteenth
street, near SAMSON, showing that the
thief took that direction. Thirteenth
street in that vicinity is generally
crowded about the hour the robbery was
committed, but no one appears to have
seen the man at work or heard the
sound of the breaking glass. --PhiIdClel-

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE and the
reports of the heads of the departments
were sent to Congress on Monday of
last week. The message is long and yet
contains little that is really of interest.
Most persons who care to read such
document, have already read it in the
daily papers, we therefore make no ex-
tracts from it. The report of the Secre-
tary of the Treasury however is very
interesting. BY his showing, the receipts
from customs have exceeded the esti-
mates by fifty-five millions, the internal
revenue receipts by nine millions, and
the total ordinary receipts by almost
seventy millions. On the other hand,
despite the payment of almost twenty
millions for arrears of pensions, the
total disbursements are only eight
millions greater than were estimated.-
Out of this vast surplus of income over
seventy-three millions has gone to the
sinking fund, through whose operations
almost as large part of the funded debt
or more than three and half per cent
of the total, has been paid off. The re-
ports shows the financial condition of
the United States to be better than that
of any of the great nations of the world.

A Disgusting Sight.

Yesterday young lady scarcely out
of her teens and young man came to
this city with the intention of being
married today. Last evening they con-
cluded to walk around for a while and
see the sights. While doing so the gal
liant wanted drink of whiskey, and
when he took it, after much persuasion,
prevailed on the lady to do likewise,
although she strongly objected. 1t is
said that the single drink made her dead
drunk, she never having taken any be-
fore, At any rate she was found lying
down and unable to move by the police,
and was hauled to the lookup in cart,
to stay there until she sobered off. Her
escort was also captured and locked up.

twisted itself thrice around the roll,
forming "collar." The catcher struck
the iron, when there blew off piece in
shape Of ring with stem twenty
inches long. Running Off at right
angles to the circle the band flew back
and fell around Moore's head, resting on
his shoulders. Quick as thought he
grabbed the long stem with his tongs
and the white-hot ring with his hand,
and with steady nerve and gentle move
ment lifted the fiery thing from his
shoulders. His face was badly burned
by the heat emitted from the iron, and
the flesh of his hand was cut in to the
bone. Afterward he put the ring over
his head. 1t was but two inches larger
in diameter than his head.

Another Mine Explosion.

CARDIFF, December 10.-A great ex-
plosion occurred this morning at the
Penygraig new colliery, in the Rhondda
Valley, Wales. 1t is believed that eigh-
ty-seven persons have perished. An ex-
ploring party has just discovered sixteen
corpses. The search is impeded by after
damp and debris. The pit is about a
mile from the scene of the great explo-
sion in the Dinas colliery, in the same
valley on January 18th, 1879, when
about sixty persons lost their lives.
A later London dispatch says of the
explosion in the colliery of Penygraig,
Wales, this morning: The shock of
the explosion was felt for miles around
the earth shaking as if there were an
earthquake. There are also eighteen
horses in the pit, which is 450 yards in
depth. Eighty-seven men are known
to be dead.

Tricky Gloves.

On Friday afternoon brakeman
whose name we did not learn had mar
row escape at the Fourth street crossing.
He had on pair of heavy buckskin
gloves and was standing by train. In
some way his hand was caught and held
fast by the cars, which were moving
slowly. Another train came slowly
along the next track in the opposite
direction, when he put his gloved hand
on it. This also stuck fast and the fel-
low received severe stretching before
one hand pulled loose. The gloves were
torn to eces.-AHoond Tribune.

The Handsome Nickle Plated New Home
Lamp being introduced to the public this Season
Is the most meritorlous article ever offered
Agents to make money with, is safer and more
convenient than the Student Lamp, which has
heretofore had the reputation OF being the safest
lamp made, 1t has a clamp to firmly attache
1t to the Sewing Machine, Piano. Organ, Desk,
etc. The fear OF the ordinary lamp being acci
IDENTIFY upset or thrown from the table, is entirely
relieved by this simple clamp contrvance. 1t
can be adjusted to throw the light just where It
is wanted to suit the eyes, and can be converted
into handsome wall lamp. 1t has the best
argand burner, a filling indicator and convent
ent match box, and its price Is within the reach
OF every one 1t has been fully tested, and
edltorlally endorsed by the "western Christian
Advocate" "Am. Christian Review" "Herald

"Christian Standard" the leading Religious
papers OF Cincinnati and is endorsed by the
Mayor and Postmaster OF Cincinnati the Agent
Of the American Express Company and Presl.
dents of Insurance Companies, as being the safest
most convenient and best lamp made.
There are three reasons why Agents should
seek such an article to canvass for-frst for its
absolute safety and great convenience, 1t is need
ed in every home-second its low price makes its
sale immense, third 1t will be a credit to handle
such an article. One southren Agent writes, it
sells faster than Gen. Lees Portrait sold right

price, and liberal terms surprise old Agents

Ross Sent TO the Penitentiary for Sevel
Ycars-A Wholesome Example.

Ross Sent TO the Penitentiary for Seven
Years-A Wholesome Example.
Tho Grand Jury yesterday among other
cases, found an Indictment against William
Ross, alias John Ross for an assault on Mary
A. McCaulcy, ON Monday last, and robbery.
Mr., Perry, after the indictment was pre-
sented, said that this was the case whore an
outrageous assault was made upOn AN old lady
only few days ago in the Agricultural
grounds. Colonel Curkhill and he had como
to tho conclusion that the case deserved II
speedy trial, and some example should be set
to deter these eyil.docrs from continuance OF
these outragcs. IIcasked that Ross be earraigncd.
The prisoner, Il rongh, grm-looking colorod
man, was then brought to the bar, and tho iu-
dictment was read TO him by Mr.. Sparrow,
the assistant clerk, and he was then asked
whether he WAS guilty or not
ROss--I am given no show. was not the
leader in 1t. am guilty of the assault with
the party that did do il, aud was showed up by
tho other parties TO help to do it. They got
away and | was arrested.
ChiefJ Justice-rhey got away 1t did not
take more than one to assault an old lady, did
il?
Ross-I did not make the assault
Chief.Justice-Do you plead guilty or not?
Ross-I plead guilty, bat think ought to
have some show.
Chief.Justicc TO the clerk)--Take the plea.
Mr. Perry.-Wil! Your Honor sentence him
now?
Chicr.Justlce--I want to know little more
about him first.
In reply to tho questions Of the court Ross
said that he was from RiChmoud, Va. had
been here between eight and nine years; spent
most of his time in boating; had been con-
yictel Of assault aud battery; hUd been I'm tho
Baltimore pententiary on suspicion Of assault
aud stealing. Mr.. Corkhill, ut the request of
of the court related the facts regarding the
assault on Mrs McCauley, his statement cor.
responding with that published in The Ma.
TIoNAL REPUBLICAN. lio said that several
persons in the audience knew the man.
Detective CUJnes, being called upon, said
that no knew tho man. lie went by the
name Of Taylor Fry, aliNs Thunder, and had
been sent to the pcnitcntiary for burglary.
Chct-Justice to prisoner You are Of no
service out OF doors. You won't work aud
will steal, and there Is not much consolation
oven in sending You to the penitcutisry. You
come out unretormed aud become a cowWdly
thief when you pursue an old lady, You
won't commit any more r0bbcries In the Agr.
cultural grounds for fifteen years ana you nre
sentenced to the peuitentiary Tor that period.
Colonel COrkhill-HOur Honor, there is
statute governing this class of crimes, which
provides seven years us punishment
Chief,JustiCe-Ah! Congress has stepped in.
Well seven years be it, then. | thought it
came under the common law
His Honor evidently regretted that the law
cut the sentence down one.half the Time and
1t was evident tho fault Of the law, aud not tho
court, that Ross did not get fifteen years in tho
peniteutisry.
