McHenry IN Jail.

Marshal Cahill, accompanied by Hsr-
ry Cuthbertson, went down to Wells.
burg this morning after Wm. McHenry
The Marshal had some little trouble
about getting him, as his Uncle
desired the Marshal to take the prisoner
to his home before bringing him
away. The marshal refusing, he was
threatened with being made to get 4
reQuisition, but he was not terrified as
he already had the necessary papers
from Governor Foster in his pocket.
He did not make this known, how
ever, but told the parties that he
would give them until half past
ten to bring McHenry's folks TO
see him before leaving. They did
not appear, and when the Marshal went
after McHenry he found his sister with
him. McHenry came along without
any use being made of the requisition.
The party arrived here at noon, and the
prisoner was put in Jail, where he now
Is. The attorneys in the case Mr..
Cook and Mr.. Owesney, after
consultation, agreed to bring the case
before Justice Spence Monday morning,
and decide whether preliminary hear
.Ug would be Lad or the hearing waived.
The requistion was received by Mar

"A great blow has recently befallen us.
The hand of an assassin has consigned

the warmest feelings OF attachment to her
in the hearts OF every American"
Another address was read by J. Price

the Welcome extended. He said: Il

4 Dream of Love Ends in Suicide.

ST. LOUIS, November 4.-Amalia
Pohl, glove maker, forty years old and
hunchbacked, committed suicide last
evening by taking a dose OF paris green.
The cause OF the suicide was curious.
Those who worked with her told her
a young German was in love with her,
aud ne, as joke, pretended to have an
affection for her. She became passion
ately fond OF the young man, and her
affection became a source OF merrlment
to her fellow workers. \ day or two
ago she asked him ii ne would not marry
her. lie told her no; she was too old
and defOrmed, and that he didn't care
Tor her. She was awakened from her
dream, became depressed, bought paris
green and ended her life, leaving three
unsigned notes complaining oil her lot.

Mutlta,iug Silver COlu-Iilsgat Traffic in
Stamps.
WASHINGTON, November IA new
method of mutiiating silver currency is
being employed bv numbers of patent
medicine vendors and others TO adver-
tlse their goods and wares. OF late large
numbers OF coins have been received III
the Treasury which are stamped on one
side with advertisements. The stamps
used are some par; OF die which cuts
letters and words into the coin. In
most instances the name OF the owner
Oi the article advertised is not cut on
the coin, but the advertisement simply
recommends Il certain nOstrum or
article. As the coin is stamped,
only one side OF it can be passed very
readily exposing the only perfect side.
This is mutilation OF currency and
violation of the law. The Secret Service
has been directed to investigate this,
and hunt out and prosecute the Cttend-
eTS.
Large numbers Of cases OF violation
OF the law prohibiting the traffic in post
age stamps are now before the attention
Oi the POstuihce Department, and special
agents are hunting up offending post
masters all over the country. Postmas-
ters are forbidden to sell stamps except
10 the locality to which their offices be-
long, but many OF them violate this law.
One postmaster at a small village in
Virginia has made profit of nearly $500
in the last few months by selling stamps
10 Baltimore merchants at 10 per cent
discount. The postal authorities say
they are determined to break up this
traffic
