A CHANCE Of CIV Tarshals.

By reference TO the report of the city
council proceedings published in an
other column. it will bs seen that the
resignation of Mr. T. johnson was ac-
cepted at the meeting of the city fathers
last Tuesday, and that J. L. w. Bell was
appointed and confirmed as his success
sof.
Mr.. Johnson, during his term of OH
cisl service, has encountered many per
piexities, and in the discharge
of his duties, in which he
has been faithful and conscien-
seious, has suffered much unmeriled
censure, notably in connection with the
enforcement of the COW ordinance, and
having become thoroughly weary of the
cares Of Office, steps down and out, and
Mr.. Bell assumes the burden which his
predecessor has laid down. That he has
all the requisites Of fearless, honest
and capable officer Of the law will be
conceded by all who know him, and his
appointment will be hailed with any
thing but delight by evil doors and such
persons as seem TO be bent on defying
the law in this community.

Herrineton ACQUIRED.

% Topeka Capital: In the case of the
State VS.. Harrington, a homicide case,
the jury, after being out since Thursday
evening, returned verdict of acquittal
at lao O'Clock. Saturday, and the de-
PENDANT, w. p. Harrington, was dis
charged. The facts of this case were all
gone over in the Capital at the former
trial Of the defendant, at which time the
jury disagreed, and but brief mention is
necessary now. The shooting resulted
over some stock that Harrington went
after and which he found on the farm of
Wesley Edwards, the prosecuting wit
ness in the case. After finding the cow
and calf and while starting to drive
away, a'melee occurred in which Chas.
Avery was fatally shot by Harrington.
The case created an intense excitement
at Silver Lake at the time, near which
place all the parties resided Mr.. Her.
ringtOn was bound over, and not being
admitted to bail was committed. His
first trial resulted in disagreement OF
the jury, and Mr.. Harrington was bail
ed out in the sum of $4,000. The last
trial, the one just ended, resulted in an
acquittal after trial of two weeks. Mr.
Harrington is once more free man and
is congratulated by his friends.

A Minister ROBBED.

Sunday while the people were at
church the residence of Mahlon Stubs,
a short distance east of the city, was
entered by burglars and the worldly
goods Of Sarah Goddard, a minister of
the Friends church, who arrived from
Maine few days ago to hold meetings
here, were carried of. The goods con-
sisted of two heavy carpet sacks, and
some $25 in money. Strange to say,
nothing belonging to the members of the
Stubs family was touched. A coat be-
longing to an Indian boy living with
Mr.. s. was taken. On the return of the
family and discovery of the theft, inn
mediate search was made for the where
abouts of the goods and thieves. The
goods were finally found hid in corn
shock, the thieves evidently fearing the
possession of the carpet sack
would give them away If they
undertook TO escape with
them in broad day light. Everything
was recovered except the S25 in money.

A Bold and AdrOit Bank Robbery
ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 15.-The Biddle street
savings bank, at the corner of Four
teenth and Biddle street, was entered by
three men yesterday afternoon, two of
whom engaged the cashier, Henry Kirch,
in an endeavor to purchase some bonds.
The third induced the book keeper
Henry Pitzemier, to believe that a man
sitting in buggy at the door wished to
see him on business. The book-keeper
went out, and while he was conversing
with the man in the buggy the adroit
scoundrel who sent him TO the door
quietly slipped behind the counter
and distracted small pack
S. 500 in currency. There was nearly
$4,000 in full view of the thief, but he
took only the one package and speedily
fed. The other men then left rather
hastily and some fifteen to twenty min
utes afterwards the cashier discovered
the safe had been robbed. The matter
was given to the detectives but up to the
present time no clue to the robbers has
been obtained.
