RObbfng Dead BOdies-The Nnrra gnnsett
 Victims.

William Langshaw, of East Lyme, who was arrested last June on charge of robbing bodies of passengers on the ill-fated Narra- gansett, and discharged for want of evidence, has now been arrested again. Last June he was arrested with one Daniel Loomis, of New York, and brought before a justice court, charged with robbing the bodies of E. J. Horton of Attleboro, Mass, and Mrs. Lillie. Monday night he was arrested at the railway depot in New London, with woman with whom he has been living at East Lyme for some time past.
 Langshaw finally, after some questioning confessed to robbing the bodies, and impli- cated Daniel Loomis, with whom he says he divided the spells, including thirty dollars in money Loomis is now off on an oyster ves- sel but is expected to arrive in day or two, when he will at once be arrested. The par ties arrested Monday night will be taken to East Lyme for examination. It now appears that they robbed the bodies before bringing them ashore.

Shocking Aec1dent-A Fall of Sixty Feet.
 Joseph Osborne, 20 years old, was on an elevator at Marcy Brothers Co.'s on Asy- lum street Hartford, yesterday, when the iron hook fastened into the elevator ring slipped out of place. letting the entire appar- atus fall with great swiftness and velocity to the ground. Young Osborne must have been cramped up amid the boxes of ashes on the elevator platform, so that when the rebound came on striking the ground he was thrown with full force against the brick wall. Sev- eral physicians had council in his case. It was found that one of his shoulders was brok- en, and that he had received severe con- cussion of the brain. At 1 o'clock he was raving. He is young man, not more than 22 years of age and unmarried, and was con- sidered one of the best workmen in the fac tOTv

THE sENATORsHIP.

The result OF tho vote In caucus last night
was quite disappointment to tho supporters
OF Gen. Gibson, who have been boastlng freely
for several days past that their candidate
already had moro than suf1iciency OF votes
to nominate on the first ballot.
80 far as we can learn, the vote cast for
Gen. Gibson represents not only his real
strength, but includes several complimentary
votes, together with quite number OF the
supporters OF dark horses, who regarded Nc
Emery as the most formidable candi late and,
therefore. united upon Gen. Gibson In order
to lessen McEnery's apparent chances. This
view is further confirmed by the adjourn
ment, which indicated clearly that the caucus
was not In frame OF mind to nominate Gen.
Gibson.
The result has been to stimulate the hopes
OF friends Of other aspirants, and to work
corresponding depression In the ranks OF
Gen. Gibson's adherents, who seemed to have
based their hopes OF success upon securing
majority at the first caucus.
The friends OF Gov. McEnery do not seem
at all discouraged, but appear confident OF an
increasing vote on future ballots. relying
upon the accession OF quite number OF the
members who are known to have cast compli-
mentary votes under the pressure and infiu-
ences which have been brought to bear re-

TRAOK-LAYING TEXAS-WARD.

In the course OF q pleasant conversation
Yesterday afternoon with Superintendent
George Pandely, OF MorRans Louisiana and
Texas Railroad 1t was learned that the work
OF track-laying had progressed to point
within less than four miles OF Vermilion
Bayou, and WAS being pushed forward at the
rate OF about two thousand feet per day

road between AlgIers and Morgan City Is be-

laminated and defective rails and the substi-
tuition OF new and first class material. For
this purpose the company has recently pur-
chased two thousand tons OF steel and sixteen
hundred and fifty tons OF iron. which Is being
distributed along the line MS required. In
this connection 1t may not he amiss to
hazard the conjecture that Mr.. Whitney
will thus be enabled to put into execu-
ton his expressed desire OF connecting the
towns Of Vermilionvllle and Opelousas by
rail, as he can readily avail himself OF the
best OF the material now being removed from
the old road TO build the proposed extension,
which will be only twenty-one miles, The

Presidential straws are now being taken all
over the country. The Indianapolis Journal

shown that Blaine led In that State with the
greatest number Of supporters. Grant being
second, and Sherman close behind him.
The Philadelphia Times then took a census
OF the Republican papers OF that State, with
the same result-Blaine first, Grant second
and Sherman third.
An analysis made by that paper OF the New
Jersey Legislature shows nearly equal d.

and Grant, the former being slightly ahead.

The Cincinnati Gazette comes next 1t pro-
poses TO interview fifty Republican citizens In

been held In seven counties, with the follow

A CHANCE FOR THE IDLE.

We were moved to no ordinary extent yes
terday morning by reading an article In the
Times about our Idle young men. 1t Is always
a pathetic subject with us. We are not idle
ourselves, and perhaps cannot imagine how
1t feels, but we do know that one OF the saddest
sights on earth ls that OF our young men who
have nothing to do except to stand about on
Canal street and hold up the lamp and awning
posts OF the Crescent City, smoke brown
paper cigarettes and look unutterable things
at lovely woman. 1t has Invariably struck
us that life on these terms must be very hard.
When, therefore, we noticed the headline OF
the Times editorial, our ltveliest interest was
aroused. We said to ourselves, Ha! here
then Is question to which our heart goes
forth; here shall we find exercise for our
pent-up sympathies.
But the Times disappointed us. The Innes
did not elaborate It's theme with what we con-
ceive to be the proper vigor, for, after telling
us that a large majority OF the Idle youth are
handsome, intelligent, we'll educated, with
great powers Of intellectual concentration
and usually conversant with the French, or
perhaps the Spanish language, the Times
went on to suggest that they be
transported to Mexico or South and
Central America. Against this heartless
proposition our feelings naturally rebelled.
What! Shall our brightest and our best be
exiled to some remote inhospltable shore,
where the lamp post Of his native land
Is unknown, and where cigarettes may be
scarce and dear, or perhaps impracticable
altogether? Perish the remorseless thought
These young men are doing no harm. They
simply bask In the genial sun and let the
balmy zephyr play through their fragrant
