oner asked the witness several questions
relative to his own and Mr.. Thornton's po-
sitions at the time of the assault. During
the testimony of Mr.. Trent the pistol
found at the feet of Thornton was pro-
duced. The prisoner seemed thoroughly
self-possessed.
Geo II. Towrsley nephew OF the de-

Marmaduke, the dairy king, to his son,

Another Safe Blown Open.

The safe blower is evidently abroad i'm
the land, and towns neighboring to Sedalia
are the scenes OF operation.
Last night, at Lincoln, on the narrow
gauge road, twenry-eight miles south OF
here. the dry goods and general merchan-
disc store of +. Boehmer was broken into
by burglars, after which the safe was
blown open and the contents carried of.
As to what the loss was, the BAzoO man
was unable to ascertain.

ing for a new lock.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
Scott Murphy Shot at q Couple OF
Would-be Burglars,
Last Night.

Almost invariably there is a gang OF
thieves travelling with, or in the wake OF, q
circus, but in this respect Old John Rob.
inson's company came near proving an
exception. During the day not single
crooked transaction was heard of, and the
police surmised that the night would pass
without anything SHADY developing itself
and such came very near being the case
for the BAzOo man heard of but
ONE ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.
1t was between eight and nine O'Clock
last night, when Scott Murphy and family,
Who live on the corner of Thirteenth and
Moniteau streets, had their attention al
tracted to a hOrseman and two foOtmen
who were standing i'm front OF their resi-
dence. All the members OF the family had
retired, but had not passed into dreamland
and Mr. Murphy's attention WAS still further
directed to the men when they jumped his
fence and went to the pump for q drink OF
water. He thought nothing strange of this,
however, and when they left the yard he
was about to again seek his bed, when he
noticed that the man who had been sitting
On z horse in front
JOINED THE OTHER TWO
at a point short distance from the house.
The three held short consultation, when
the man on the horse returned to Muir
phys, this time leading gray horse, and
was followed little later by his two COM
panions who had, but a few minutes be-
fore, pumped the water.
These latter two, after taking a survey
Of the surroundings, again entered MIR.
Murphy's yard, and proceeded cautiously
to the window of the room where Mr.. and
Mrs. Murphy were. They peered in, ,but
were unable to discover anybody within,
and one of them hallooed to the man on
horseback,
Its ALL RIGHT"
Then they proceeded to the rear OF the
house, where they found the shutters
closed, hence were unable to open them.
Discovering this, one of the men pulled
out his knife and commenced cutting the
stats, when Scott, who had been an inter
crested looker-on at all the proceedings,
stepped forward, with cooked revolver in
hand, and fired, through glass, shutter and
all. He did not try to nit either of the
nen, but merely desired to scare them, and
in this he must have succeeded, for the
time they made in getting ont of the
ward would have been creditable for pro
fessi"nal runner.
Mr.. Murphy says both Of the men were
we'll dressed and wore caps, but beyond
this he was unable to describe them.

yelled for help, when the pocket ieeler

The Lincoln Robbery.

The robbery of F. BEGINNERS store, at
Lincoln, Sunday ght, an account of
which appeared in the BAzoo Yesterday,
didn't 'pan out" for the thieves, considering
the trouble to which they were put. After
breaking open the store, they blew open
the safe, and for their pains secured about
Sls in silver, and then departed without
taking anything else.
Contrary to his usual custom, Mr. Boeh-
mer visited the store Sunday morning and
removed his books and currency, otherwise
the loss would have been quite heavy.
There is NO clue to the perpetrators of the
crime.

On last Monday morning a rough look
ing man, stranger, came To- this city am
registered at the Occidental hotel as A. f.
Batlon, Cole county. He did not stay 4.
the hotel, though, but wandered aimlssslv
about the streets. and at supper time made
his appearance at the Citv hotel, where he
took supper but did not register. At II
o'clock Monday nighthe was discovered
lying on the front steps of the City hOtel
by Charlie Born, son OF the proprietor o.
the hotel, who awaked him, as he was
asleep, and told him he ould not allow
him to sleep upon the steps but go some
where and go TO bed.
The man Immediately arose and attempt
ed to go into the door, but was pushed on
by Charlie He then went away and wa
seen no more until Tuesday, Just before
noon, a,..the depot, when ne appeared tn. ~
laboring under terrible excitement. A liz

where he stood around as If uncertain what
to say or do. Miss Charlotte Moore.
daughter of our worthy citizen, Mr.. Majsr
Moore, was in the store at the time, az was
also several gentlemen, among them the
City Marshal, l.. w. Barton.
Suddenly, and without warning, Balton
sprang upon Miss Moore and threw her To
the floor, but in an instant Willie How
ard was upon him. He pulled him from
the young lady, with the help Of w. j.
Fulks and several others, as it took four o.
five men to hold him. He was at the time
fairly fOamiAg a. the mouth and had the
strength of a giant. He was tied securely
hand and foot, with a good strong rope,
put into wagon and tied to one side and
taken to the county jail. On arriving al
the Jail it took i've strong men to carry
him to a cell, although bound very tigh,
with the rope, and, to use a slang phrase
it was a regular "circus" to get him into a
cell and unite him.
The iailer has written to the Cole county
authorities to see if they know the man,
and also telegraphed to Lawrence, Kan
sas, as Balton afterwards said he belonged;
there.
Balton is strong, heavy set man, weigh
ing about l65 pounds stands about 1--WE
feet six inches in height ; has light brown
hair and moustache, and has about a
months growth of chin whiskers and side
beard.
Our reporter tried to interview him in
his cell, but he paid no attention to any
one and did not come to the door Of his
cell.

In the "Memoirs of Count Segur,"
there is the following anecdote: MY

asked by Voltaire respecting her
health, told him that the most pain

decay in her stomach and the ditti-
Guilty of finding any kind of ailment
that it could bear. Voltaire, by way
of consolation, assured her that he
was once for nearly year in the
same state, and believed to be incur
able, but that, nevertheless, a very
simple remedy had restored him. 1t
consisted in taking no other nour-
ishment than taking yelks of eggs
beaten up with the flour of potatoes
and water Though this circum-
stance concerned so extraordinary a
person as Vnltaire, it is astonishing
how little it is known and how rarely
the remedy has been practiced. Its
efficacy, however, in cases of debility,
cannot he questioned, and the follow.
ing is the mode of preparing this
valuable article of food as recOmmen-
ded by Sir John Sinclair: Beat up
an egg in bowl, and then add six
tablespoonful of farina of potatoes,
let it be mixed thoroughly with the
liquid in the bowl; then pour in as
much boiling water as will convert
the whole thing into jelly, and mix
it well. 1t may be taken alone or
with the addition of little milk in
case of stamachic debility or con
sumptive disorders.

ing-place of our martyred President,
will be read with interest:
$50 long time has elapsed since
the obsequies that many strangers
visiting Cleveland are surprised to
learn that detachment OF United
States infantry are still detailed to
watch the vault wherein lie the re-
mains of our honored President.
Night and day can be heard the
measured tramp, tramp of the sentry
on duty, and it is intended to contin-
ue this watchfulnesy until the hOdy
is deposited in the ground. Through
the grated door of the vault can be
seen the elegant casket given by the
Masonic brethren. Covered with
beautiful flowers, kept fresh by low
ing hands, it is still visited daily by
hundreds of people, many of whom
eagerly seek the cast-off blossoms as
mementoes. Near the vault is the
shelter-house, and on the other side
of the lake the white tents of the
soldiers are pitched. At the base of
the hill upon which the monument
is to be placed, glass house is erect
ed, inclosing the funeral car, still
trimmed with immortelles and the
trappings of woe. An aged couple
whe had been gazing with tear-dim-
med eyes upon The casket approach
cd the guard and asked if they might
not be permitted to have few flow
ers from off the coffin, He told them
he could not open the vault. They
were much disappointed, and said
that they were from the distant
South, had always been rebels, but
that the death of Garfield had chang.
ed their feelings, and that they had
journeyed far for the privilege OF
standing by his tomb. Just then
the ladies who were to change the
flowers arrived, and, noticing the
disappointed look upon the faces OF
the aged couple, asked if they could
do anything for them. They re-
piled: we crave but few flowers
to carry away with u.s. The ladies
picked out a few of the choicest OF
the flowers, twined together prettily,
and presented them to the pleading
pair, who departed sadly but pleased
with the memeEto, which will al
ways keep green in their hearts the
memory of the noble and beloved
Garfield"

Even Louisiana is said to be ripe
for successful anti-Bourbon move
ment. There has been widespread
dissatisfaction with the Bourbon
management for several years, but
as the Bourbons control all the ma
chinery of election they have been
able to carry the State by any ma.
jority their consciences would permit
them to manufacture. The State has
clear Republican majority on fair
count any day. The way to success
full revolt lies through an indepen.
dent movement, for that would take
away strength from the Bourbons.
who are willing to vote an indepen-
dent ticket, but who will never vote
a Republican ticket. 1t is said that
Major E. A. Burke, who is the man.
ager of the consolidated Democratic
dailies of New Orleans, is in favor of
revolt, and will lead an independet
movement when the time for it
arrives. This may or may not be
true, but it is true that his newspa-

over in Chester county, have dairy
farm of 480 acres, in which they
keep 275 cows, from which they are
now making more than one thous-
and pounds of "gilt.edge" butter
every week. This is supplied direct
ly to customers in Philadelphia, New
York and Boston. On the first of
November they put on the price for
the winter, which is ninety-fve cents
per pound ten cents more than they
asked last winter. Owing to the
drouth, there has been deficient pas
ture, and the cows have to be fed on
grain and hay. which has decreased
the flow of milk, in consequence of
which the Messrs. Darlington cannot
supply all the orders they get.
Now, we do not think it costs these
dairymen much, if anything. more
to make their butter than it does the
ordinary farmer, and yet they get
double the price he does. 1t all
comes of more careful methods, and
should prove stimulus to farmers
everywhere to make better butter
than they now do.-NeiO Era, Lam

was begun in the autumn of 1872, had
in the three succeeding years adj

81 miles, of its entire length. In 1876
it was calculated that it would he
finished during the summer of 1879,

years to get it ready for use. The

each. The st. Gothard Rail way runs
from Fluelen. on the Lake of Uri, to

South Carolina is in a political

Goyernorship for the Senate, and an
open division is threatened in this

between the two Senators, and Hamp-

next year. Many Democrats of prom
inence are quite ready to kick over
the traces, and it Is even said that
Senator Butler is prepared to lead a
sort of Malone movement against
the regular organization. The Re-
