The Secretary of the Treasury has an
nounced to the holders of the outstanding G
per cent bonds which mature on or before
July l, 1881, that he is prepared either to
pay these bonds upon presentation or to con-
tinue them at the rate of 81 per cent. interest
from that date for such period as the Gov
eminent may see fit. Advices from all parts
of the country indicate that the plan of the

probable that the holders of large amount

THE NARROW GAUGE.

The main particulars Of the accident
which happened TO the Brattleboro & White
hall mixed train last Monday afternoon are
given in our ToWnshend correspondence.
The place of the accident was mile and a
quarter this side Of West Townshend on the
sharp curve at the ledge of rocks where the
blasting accident recently happened, and
where work is in progress to lessen the curva
ture. The train consisted of two freight cars
and passenger car. The hind trucks Of the
freight car next the passenger car FIRST left
the rails. The car was heavily loaded with
potatoes and, the earth at that point being
soft and sandy, the car settled over on its
side and pulled the other cars with il down
the embankment of some three feet The
only damage done 10 the cars was the break
ing one window in the passenger car and the
cracking of the glass in another. The pas
senger who was most hurt was a New York
Central engineer from Syracuse, who is still
at Mr.. Hescocks. Dr. Gale, who visited
him on Thursday, expresses confidence in his
speedy recovery.
The people on the line of the road uni
formly take a sensible view of the matter. and
express their surprise and qualification that
the road has been so free from accident and
detention of trains during the first Eve months
OF ITS operation. The needed work of gray
cling and baliasting, which the winter put an
end to, will be at once resumed In order 10
facilitate this and give spare locomotive for
the work, the mixed train will be run only
every other day-MOndays, Wednesdays and
Frldays-beginuing next Monday.
On Monday morning last the passenger
train was delayed by a land and rock slide
above Jamaica, and was 10 minutes late into
Brattleboro, but the southern train was held
five minutes for it, so that connection was
made With the single exception of the morn

AN $3.50 ROBBERT.
Bold but Bungiesome job by "A Bridegroom
of Il Week.

Bold but Bungiesome job by "A bridegroom
of Week.
The sensation on the streets yesterday
was a rulnor to be heard that Charley Fisk,
q Young man, well known in Knoxville, a
machinist at the E. T., Y. Il C. Railroad
shops. had been arrested for robbing a man,
at the Atkin House, of large amount of
money The facts, as we were able to
gather them, are as follows:
Mr.. B. S. Catlett, of Maryviiie, an extern
sye stock-dealer and shipper, VINO was stop
ping at the Atlzin House, awoke Wednesday
morning to the realization of the fact that
1850 had been stolen from his coat pocket,
he having unguardedly went to bed leaving
the money III his pocket and his door IN
locked. He at once reported the fact to Mr..
0. F. Wiley, one of the proprletors. Mr.
Wiley cautioned him to say nothing to any
one else and went to work at once to
ferret out the matter. About the FIST
transaction that morning, Charley Fisk,
who was married last week, and was board
ing with his wife at the house, c2ne to Mr..
Wiley and paid him $15 on board. This
circumstance, taken in connection with Mr.
Wiley's knowledge of the financial condition
of Charley beforehand, set him to work i'll
earnest. He, in connection with Mr..
NJ. G. Wilson, the manager Of the
hotel, kept an eye On Charley all
day Wednesday-he being off from
his work. They caught up with about $105
which he had spent in making various pur-
chases and paying up old scores.
1t was not, however, until about midnight
that night that Mr.. Wiley had fully satisfied
himself; then he went to Justice King,
procured warrant, went back to the hotel,
had Charley walked and brought to his
room. When he first informed Charley
of a robbery, he (ChaIl3yl grew
quite indignant, and said he hadn't
comnitted it, and didn't like to be so
accused. After little further conversation,
Mr.. Wiley displayed the warrant, and, call
ing two policemen who were in waiting, had
Charley taken in custody. Noticing some
black on Charley6 hand, Mr.. Wiley con-
ceived an idea, went directly 20 Charley S
room, and, at the first pass, laiti his hands
on roll of something over 500 of the
stolen money, where it had been put up the
chimney. When Lo returned and
confronted the prisoner, Charley
said he had no more to say
He was kept in custody, and yesterday
morning, after further search, the remain
der of the stolen money was recovered.
A trial was set for 2 o'clock, before Justice
King, but compromise was effected, by all
the money being returned to Mr.. Catlett,
and Charley's friends paying the cost Of
the warrant, and he was allowed to go. 1t
is sad blight on the character of young
man starting out i'll life with such bright
prospects, and should be . warning to
others.
Too much credit cannot be given to Mr..
Wiley for the skiliful manner il which he
worked up the case, He displayed the skill
of an experienced detective.

A Damage Suit.

Monroe Democrat: Last February the
sparks from an engine set fire to the wheat
stubble in the clover-field of J. D. Jones,
and burning off destroyed the young clover.
Mr. Jones brought suit against the railroad
before Squire Boyd last Saturday afternoon
for damages. He was represented by R.
Pritchard and the road by E. P. Mcqueen
and Mac. II. Dooley. The prosecution
proved that six acres of clover was de-
stroyed, that the ground was afterward
planted in corn. and that it would be two
years before another stand could be OBJ
tanned. Mr. Jones recovered $40 damages,
and the case was appealed.

held in his native home, and resnlted well
financially to that worthy institution, the
