and the passengers disembsrked, the neces.
sary shifting" of cars and turning of engine
had been performed, and those connected
with the running of the train had left the
track, trio of enterprising men, who pre-
viously had been noticed lurking around the
engine, got upon it. and watching an opportu.
nifty, opened the throttle, the steam not hav-
ing yet gone down, and started off. One of
the train hands saw the engine moving off,
and supposing that it was the engineer going
down the road for some purpose, gave it no
further thought, until he went up into town,
where he saw the engineer. His suspicious
were at once aroused, and he notified Capt.
Marshall, who, with Roadmaster Waddill
and others, Immediately started on foot in pur-
suit. They overlook the engine at the foot
of a grade two and half miles this side of
Liucolnton, where the steam had given out,
in consequence of which the engine could
proceed no further. Only one man, Charles
Stubbs, was with it, and when the irate con-
ductor reached the scene, Stubbs was stand
ing by the side of the track, and could give
no account of himself. .....,
On examination, the furnace was found to
have been just re6lled with wood and the
water. gauge indicated three gauges of water
in the boiler, so if the pursuers had been
only a little later, the bold wrecker would
have sped away, leaving the blue hills of
Lincolnton far behind him. But, fortunately,
he was in the grasp of the rightful custodians
of the engine, and as his comrades could not
be found, he alone was taken back to Lin
colnton with the engine. Capt. Marshall at
once sued out warrant for his arrest, charg-
ing him with malicious mischief against the
peace and dignity of the State of North
Carolina" and on that night he was com,
mitted to Jail to await hearing before
magistrate. Next day, however, he sue
ceeded in giving bail, and the hearing of
the case was set for Monday the 9th in
slant. We are inclined to the belief, what
ever plea may be urged in extenuation of
the act, that the superintendent of the rail-
road will prosecute the offenders to the extent
of the law. While the Clyde Combination
might scoop the little road, or Gould might
gobble it, he will show the Stubs Syndicate
that they cannot, with impunity, steal it in a
small way. They will learn that "scooping"
whole road is one thing, and stealing single
locomotive quite another. They, however,
may have been acting upon the principle of
the man who stole saw mill. He got away
with the mill, but when he went for the dam
they caught him. Mr.. S,ubbs and his friends
were not quite so fortunate. They didn't get
away with an engine, and consequently had
no opportunity to attempt to steal the track.

COMMERCIAL.
COTTON

The season has been unusually favorable
for picking and marketing the crop, which
may in a measure account for the large re-
ceipts at the ports, but there is lurking
suspicion in the minds Of many that the
crop will prove larger than any Of the esti-
mates yet made it, and that there will be
enough and TO spare to accommodate all the
demands of consumers, A fswweeks more
will determine the true condition OF affairs
and solve the problem of the demand and
supply Of the great staple Of the world.
The Liverpool correspondent Of the New
York Bulletin says the developments Of the
American crop movement are being anx-
iously watched here, either for signs Of in
crease or indications Of support Of the short
crop theories. Although the movement
still continues below last year, IT is not suf-
fciently so in comparison to inspire bulls
with hope or depress bears" with misgiv-
ings. One point in the situation LOOKS as
though it would shortly have some weight
in determining the course OF the market,
and that il the short shipments from Amer
lea, especially to Great Britain. Compared
with last year, the shipments to Europe
show a falling of up 10 this morning Of 190,-
600 bales, and Il Is more than probable that
this decrease will, during the ensuing three
months, be widened out Of due proportion
TO the decrease in receipts. II is
believed here that very severe corner"
will be experienced in New York dur
f-l January, as transactions in that posi-
ti1n already total over z.J00O00 bales.

ARCTIC CURIosITIEs.
Some of the Relics Brought Down by the
CorWin

1
By the special invitation of the officers OF
the Arctic cruiser Thomas Corwin, repre-
sentative Of the Examiner yesterday paid a
visit to that vessel. The Corwin recently
returned from accommodating expedition
toward the North Pole, and made,
perhaps, the quickest and relatively the
most important cruise in the Arctic seas,
except that Of Professor Nordenskjold,
who succeeded in making the northeast
passage. coming through the Attic Sea
eastward from the shores OF Greenland and
I Iceland TO the near locality visited by the
Corwin. The COrwin is anchored in the
San Antonio creek, near Oakland, and
about so yards above the Central Pacific
Railroad bridge. which connects Oakland
with Alameda. The collection OF curious
relics Of the Arctic region brought back by
the C0rwin Il both large and interesting.
Lieuts Myrick and Doty have accumulated
rare assortment OF weapons and boats
used by the tribes inhabiting
the extreme northern limits OF the hsbita-
bic portion Of the globe. These models in

THE f-1H TRUTH ABOUT nYevrAeH.
His Own Sssition, and the Fla9 Failure of
His Traducera

About the Wisdom of Mr.. Lacveagh's
resignation there ARE two opinions We
incline ourselves to She beliefthat it would
have been better for Ehe country and bet
ter for his own fame had he made up his
mind to remain in Office, as President
Arthur wished him, until the
Star-Route cases had been diSposed Of But
we recognize the fact that he himself who
holds the opposite opinion, knows more of
the facts than we do, and that the very rea-
sons which make it seem desirableNthat he
should continue in office also make his
views prima facie respectable. In other
words. no final judgment can be passed ON
the, matter until his side fthe case is heard,
and it seems to US he would
do well to let it be heard. In tho
meantime the attempt to break him
down" and by breaking him down to dis
credit the cause which he represents and
has served, will probably fail through ex-
cessiye lying. Moderate and careful lying
might have damaged him, for, as we have
said, many people doubt his judgment as
shown in his present course, but the gross
selEindulgence of his detractors has been
carried almost far enough to save him from,
the necessity of explanations.
