burgh to-day in the interest oil the pro-
posed railroad down the valleys oil the
West Fork and the M%onougahsla rtvera to

plates a railroad connection between

large amount cf money last month (the
former $3.50, 900 and the latter SlOO,OOO Tor
tho purpose OF assisting this or some
other road through their territory that
promises to be q competitor to the
B4lumoIe 4 Ohio road. Pittsburgh nat
urally takes q lively interest in a road OF
this kind, not only for its local advantages
but because it promises to be an important
link in q line that will connect them with
the New River ole isIds.
No doubt such a railroad az the one
proposed will be Of great advantage 10 the
country through which 1t will pass. There
is bound to be a railroad from Pittsburgh
to the West Virginia ore fields, Such
an event is only q question OF time
and no distant time at that, II our
Wheeling, Pittsburgh & Charleston
road was completed 1t would be utilized
as an Gro road by Pittsburgh, but inaE.
much as 1t exists only IS yet on paper,
the friends Of The proposed road from
ULiontown to Fairmont and C%larksburg
have sufficient leverage on which to work
up an interest In the Iron City.
The proposed road should be built with.
out regard 10 q river line, and for the FAKE
Of tho interior counties Of West Virginia
every well wisher Of the State will join In
the hope that the present scheme may
materiAlizs into an actual success. Now
is the time for our friends In the interior
to push their project. II they let the
present disposition to engage in such
schemes pass without utilization, 1t may
be years before they can successfully re-

The advance Of temperance sentiment

ton on the part Of the German Govern
ment Of a plan for cutting of soldiers beer

Holland, and by the passage through the
British House of Commons Of q motion
fayorng local option. Until recently total
abstinence principles were not only un
fashionable in Great Britain, but they
were laughed OF as absurd, except for poor
Irish laborers who might be influenced BY
Father Mathew. While the temperance
movement was sweeping over our country,
the English divines and secular notabili'
ties turned q cold shoulder on the cause,
and Sir Wilirid Lawson's efforts in behalf
OF q local option, or ss he termed II, q

A VISIT TO CHARLESTON, s. G,

After the termination of the Yorktown cele-
bratiOn, Governor Bigelow and staff, of Con-
necticut, together with the Governors Foot
Guards and First regiment of National Guards
from that State sailed in the steamship Charles
ton for Charleston, S. c., upon a visit. Upon
their arrival they were met by committee of
citizens, including the mayor, aldermen, and de-
tachments from all the military companies of
the city, by whom they were handsomely enter
tanned. They abandoned the idea of returning
by the steamer Charleston, owing to want Of
proper accommodations and provisions for safety.
1t is alleged that the vessel carried only five
boats and a crew of but six men before the mast;
and further that she was poorly supplied with
lfe-saving apparatus, &c. Besides, she carried
no ballast except coal, the diminution of which
Iightened the ship TO such an extent as to cause
her to roll terribly
Governor Bigelow decided TO pay the neces-
Rary expenses OF returning by some other means
of conveyance out of his own pocket, rather than
risk the lives Of the men On the Charleston, and
made arrangements accordingly. The owners OF
the vessel will probably be looked after for send
ing her out in such an unseaworthy condition.

In response to an invitation at the workshops of
NJ. Gaget Gauthier to witness the interesting
ceremony of riveting the first of the plates which
is to join NJ Barthodi's still incomplete statue of
Liberty to the pedestal. Short and felicitous
speeches were made by Minister Morton, who
drove in the first rivet, and M. Laboulaye. The
latter gentleman dilated on the ancient friend
ship of France for America. He said that in
order to give this friendship visible form it was
proposed to erect this magnificent statue NJ
Bartholdi states that he hopes to have the statue
in New York in July, 1883, in time to be erected
by September Of the same year. A great deal is
yet to be done Only the head and shoulders are
quite ready. All the plaster casts are completed,
however, and steady progress is being made with
the bronze.

FIGHT WITH CouNTERFEITERs.

report has been submitted to the Treasury
Department regarding the recent arrest of coun-
terfeiters Duffel and McRae near GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, showing in detail the difficulties encoun-
tered in securing the men, together with the ex
treme dangers attending the operations of the
Secret Service A gentleman engaged in the con-
test preceding the arrest of the counterfeiters
narrates the affair substantially as follows:
Operative Brown expected that James d. Duff
fel and Newton McRae the counterteiters, were
on the eight a. m. train for GAINESVILLE. To avoid
notice he stepped into the sleeping car. His as
sistant Evans, and Deputy United States Marshal
Morrison went into the smoking car, where they
found an associate detective, named James, ac-
companied by his aid, Hardy. James subse-
quently conferred with Brown, stating that he
had Duffel and McRae in company; also William
L. Traylor. They were all armed with pistols
and shOtguns, Traylor being along in order to
render any aid that might be needed in case any
thing should happen to the others. All had been
drinking and threatened to kill James and his
aid if they tried to arrest their party any of its
members.
The operatives finally effected an agreement
that soon as the train arrived at a certain
point near Guthrie, KY. they should all appear
III the smoking car, and on signal from Brown
each officer should cover his man. James and
Hardy were to arrest McRae. and the other three.
Brown, Evans and Morrison, were to arrest Duff
fel and Traylor Before reaching the station the
conductor was informed OF the arrangement.
When approaching the place agreed upon for ac-
ton Brown went into the smoking car McRae
sat with one OF the detectives. Brown passed
them, and when near Duffel, gave the prearranged
signal and at once covered Dutfel with his pistol.
Evans and Morrison were quickly at his side
dering assistance and James and Hardy captured
McRae They all fought desperately. Duffel
and Traylor jumped up and tried to draw their
revolvers. Brown dropped his pistol and grabbed
Dutfel, wrenched his pistol from him and threw
him back and held him. Evans held Traylor
while Morrison handcuffed them. Brown, seeing
that James and Hardy were still struggling with
McRae tumbling over the car seats, DC, ran to
their assistance, and was compelled to choke Nc
Rae until he nearly black in the face before
the handouts could be placed on him.
The passengers greatly frightened. and
mistook the detectives for train robbers. Cries
of THE James Brothers." were heard On all
sides. After the lawbreakers were securely
handcufied they were disarmed and searched.
Some Of them carried double braces of pistols.
McRae. being somewhat heated after his scutfie,
requested that the car window be opened which
was done. A few seconds later the prisoner made
a leap through it, but was caught by the legs and
pulled back by Morrison and James. The train
was moving at the rate of twenty-five miles per
hour. The party, although causing considerably
more trouble, were finally tried in Louisville and
held in $1,000 bail each
