Lincoln, the girls uncle, and upon an in
vestlgatlon the girl confessed everything
| and stated that Smith had threatened to
| murder her if she told. Smith, finding
that he was suspected, fled To the woods
where he was fOnnd and captured by the
! indignant citizens. He is under a strong
guard but il is feared he will be Iynched
before morning. The parties are of the
best people in the community.
The presidents withdrawal of all the
important pending nominations FIR New
York except that fudge Robertson, has
excited much comment and is likely to
become the engrossing topic of discussion
IN political circles for some days. The
universal Interpretation put upon it thus
far is that OF an open declaration of war
to the knife on the issue raised by Conli-
iing's opposition to Robertson, and it is
also understood 10 be intended as an ex-
picit intimation to the republicans of the
senate that the president is not willing to
have Robertson's nomination left at final
adjournment without action. The with
Grawals We're doubtless precipitated by
the confirmation Of one of Copkling's
friends as postmaster at Albany, which
made il manifest to Garfield that unless
he took some such summary action all of
the Conkhug nominees would shortly be
confirmed md then be found lending
their assisarc and their patronage
against the president and Robertson.
whereas by suspending their appoint
ments he ke ps control of the entire New
York patronage in his own hands.
There is no indication that Conkline
has yielded In any degree his determina-
ton to exhaust every possible resource to
prevent Robertson from becoming collec-
tor of New York For weeks he has
been laborlng with great assiduity among
democratic senators to enlist their sup
port. Among other circumstances that
have attracted attention has been the
part played bv the vice president. 1t has
been noticed during the last two or three
weeks that he has quite frequently vaca-
ted the chair and has usually, although
not invariably. invited Il democratic sen
atOr to preside. Either Harris, Cockrell
or Voorhees, has been called upon such
occasions, and, curiously enough, these
three democratic senators are among
those claimed Us recent recruits to the
anti Robertson ranks. There are indica-
tions, however, that opposition to Rob-
ertson is weaker than it was week ago,
and there Is every probability that he
will be promptly confirmed whenever the
case comes to a vote, and not by major
ity composed of democratic votes either

Important Patent Suit.

The San Francisco Chronicle of April
I'D says that Porter, Oppenheimer,
Slessinger Il Co., of that city, manufac-
turers of boots and shoes, have flied a
bill of complaint in the United States
Circuit Court, charging the firms of
buckingham &- Hecht and Hecht Bros.
with Infringing upon their United States
letters patent for an Improvement in
boots known As the .'Ironclad" boots.
An accounting, and an Injunction re-
straining defendants from further in
fringing upon the patent and S25 900
damages are sought. The suit
promises to be an interesting
one, and Will be hotly con-
tested by the manufacturers of the Iron
clad boots, who are owners of the val
uable patent. The patent is on the rivet-
ing, which makes the 'Ironclad" the
most valuable hoot in the market to-day
for miners. farmers. lumbermen and
laborers. Where a boot is in water a
great deal the sewing is apt to rip, and q
boot that is otherwise good has fire.
quently to be thrown aside. With the
lron-elad rivets the boot will
! stand much longer, as the
water has no effect on the riyets.
In the counters of heavy boots the riyets
are of especial value, keeping the coun-
ter IN place as long as the boot stands.
1t adds fifty per cent. to the wear of the
boots. and keeps them perfectly CON-
Portable until the boot gives out as
whole. Porter, Oppenheimer, S1essin.
ger Co. are now manufacturing child
ren's, misses and ladies' shoes, with the
/ patent rivet, and are meeting with much
success in that class of goods.

CouIdn.t Agree.

New York, 15.-The Tribune says: A
conference between the special commit
tee Of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany and the president Of the overland
railroads was held yesterday. There
were present, Huntington, vice-president
Of the Central Pacific, Sidney Dillon,
president of the Union Pacific, and mem
bers of the special committee represent
ing The Pacific Mail, President J. B..
Houston AID Henry Hart. Huntington
remained only long enough to say Dill
lon was fully acquainted with his views
on the subject of q new contract, and that
he would assent to any agreement that
Dillon would approve. Henry Hart ex-
pressed bis regret that no representative
OF the Panama Railroad Company WAS
present, because he had intended, he
said, to make a proposition in behalf of
himself and some others, whom he did
not name, either to lease the Panama
road or to lease the steamship line TO that
company. He added that ns the Pacific
Mail could earn $4,000 month with
out the assistance of the overland rail-
road. he should not consent to any reduc-
ton Of the subsidy formerly paid by the
railroad companies. Dillon then said
that in view Of Harris opinion it was
hardly necessary to prolong the meeting,
for the railroad company would not pay
the former subsidy. The conference
broke up abruptly, and with al evident
lack Of smicAbility.

ton: MacVeagh has been absent from
Washington ABOUT three weeks, during
which time the star route people and
their newspapers have been pretending
to know that he had run from the star
route trials in spite Of the President's
most urgent requests to remain. and they
have Waxed hilarious over the extra
ordinary spectacle. Mac Vesgh has main
tanned contemptuous silence the mean
while: II is proper now to say that when
he left Washington the President not
only had knowledge of his purpose. but
lad pledged himself to send to tht
Senate NsCVeAgh's successor on the
next day. The place was rendered te
Frelinghuysen, who declined that, and
that alone being the only reason why
MscVesgh's resignation Was not sooner
accepted by the President.

Y'ennOF,

The great weather humbug has guessed
closer to the mark for the last few days
than at any time for months past As is
well known,he missed it badly in the sum
mer and full. Like clock, however, he
must necessarily be right occasionally, Here
Is what he said about the present month:
December, ISL, 2,3, Storms or indi;;
dications OF storms in Atlantic, and cold
blustery weather at New York, Boston ana
other seaboard cities, snOwialls in the Mid
dl.and Northern States and Canada; very
cold weather West, Probably brief mild
term elsewhere,
The weather was mostly the exact reverse
Of this for the days indicated, except that
there were severe storms on the Atlantic
ocean, and some pretty cool weather in the
extreme West. All through the Eastern
and Middle States, however, and generally
throughthO West, the weather was mild Tor
the season Of the year
The next guess hitsa little nearer to the
mark, and tho present spell Of weather is
probably accounted for in the days compre-
hended between the 9TH and the 18th, lie
says;
~ to II. Generally very cold weather,
probably commencing and ending with
Snowialls in northern, middle and western
sections, and bleak and stormy weather
South"
To-day is the 18th, and therefore the fol-
lowing weather will be in order:
"l3 andl4. Probably mider in all sec
tons with rain South and West to linz
tied extent."
Tho prophecy for the balance Of tho
month can be taken for what it is WORTH
II isas follows;
Is TO 20. Very cold and blustGry Pc
Rod, with snowfIlls where these were cx-
pOrienced in 1876 and 1880, the l0lh and
both probably being the days most marked
in this respect, intense cold in Canada ana
the New England States.
25. Christmas has n cold and stormy
period both before and after it, but the day
Itself may just escape.
20 to 81. After the Goth / see nothing
but cold, snow and buster to tho close oil
the year for Canada md much OF the
United States West and South, the month
probably resembling, III many respects, the
Decembers OF 1876 and 1880. AstO the i'll
tensity or degree Of these snowialls have
no very definite indications, but AM strong
ly impressed in the direction Of low tenn
pentures for the fore part Of tho approach
ing winter season.
As for January and the balance Of the
winter, we have the following informa-
ton;
But January win have its thaw" this
time, and probably very marked one,
Ny general impressions respecting the
winter at the present time point to some
very open and balmy periods OF considera:
bio duration toward midwnter; early and
intense cold at the setting in Of tho season,
and again toward and in March; rather
backward and wet spring, and cool, wet
summer, with but few very hot periods.

The lIanufaeture Of GIueOIe.

The outpouring OF glucose from the iac'
tories where it is made out OF corn is likely
to be mere shower rs compared with the
food Of this substance which is promised
from a new source. 1t has been discovered
that tuber vegetable that grows abund-
antly in Florida and other parts Of the ex-
treme South, yields glucose Of good quail
ity far beyond the product from corn. The
vegetable is known US cassava. Ityields at
the rate OF twenty tons to the acre and from
this u 900 pounds OF glucose can be made.
Compared with the yield of corn there is n
bonanza in the new article, From thou.
sand acres Of good corn land it is estimated
that only 500 tons Of glucose can be made,
while from like area Of cassava in Florida
the possible yields 10000 tons, Naturally
enough, Philadelphia is first in the field
with a company to engage in the manuiac-
ture OF Cassaya glucose. Ii the new pro-
duct turns out to be us abundant as il Is
said to promise we are likely to have old
fashioned, honest sugar driven out OF the
market. It is estimated that the consump.
ton OF corn glucose has already reached
100000 tons a year in this country.

Carl, of Dickersonville, Niagara county,
aged 80, the wife of Willard Carl, and
daughter of the Rev. MIR. Douglas, was
so far gone with consumption that she

to save her life Tickets were bought,
but she was too i'll to undertake the jour-
ney. About six weeks ago she improved
little, and was sent among relatives in
Fitchburg, Mass, for change of scene.
There she was subjected to the prayer
cure by Boston lady. She is now fully
cured and about to return home.
