AN ENEMY IN CAMP.
Special Attorney Gibson to be
Bounced for Giving Points to the
Star Route Thieves,

A Courier-,Joasrnal special from Washing
ton says: "There has, according to all
accounts, been double dealing In the star
route cases. The double dealer is A. NJ.
Gibson, the special attorney, who has not
vet been recognized by the Department of
Justice, although he was employed in that
capacity by Wayne MacVeagh. Gibson has
been giving away the side Of the prosecu-
tion to the star route thieves. Re-
reached the Post Office Department last
Tuesday, and In such a shape as to
command serious attention. Gibson had
full access to all the papers In the star route
cases; he had a key to the safe In which
these papers were kept, and also possessed
the combination by which the safe was un-
locked Last Tuesday Postmaster General
Howe sent for Gibson. He demanded that
he hand over his keys, both to the safe and
TO the room in which 1t was kept. He told
Gibson why he wanted this delivery on his
part, and also said to him that he would no
longer have access to the department. Glib
son turned over the keys, and Howe imme-
diatelY ordered a change to be made in the
combination of the lock to the safe.
II has long been suspected that the star
route people were being given points as to
what the prosecution was doing, and 1t is
now considered certain that Gibson was
their informant. 1t is understood that Howe
has informed the Attorney General about
Gibson, and that the latter will formally
bounce him from the official position which
he holds. The accounts of Gibson for
800 for service in the star route cases
have been undergoing the scrutiny of the
Treasury officers. About every other item
in the accounts is a sum for expenditures,
and Gibson will be called upon to tell what
those expenditures were."

4 Large and Enth usIastic Meeting
at PIItsbuTg.

Al arge and enthusiastic anti polygamy
meeting was held in the First Presbyterian
Church, Plttshurg, Pa last Thursday night.
Notwithstanding he weather was very disa
greeable the church was crowded with
prominent citizens Of all denominations and
professions The meeting was opened by
Rev. Dr.. Wheeler, OF the Christian AdtOcqte,
who denounced pOlygamy in the strongest
terms Hon Felix r. Brunot was chosen
President and Rev. T. y. Boyle Secretary
Speeches were made bv Judge White, Rev.
Dr.. Robinson, Hon. Felix r. Bruuot and
other prominent citizens. kilograms were
read from a number of newspapers and
residents of Utah wishing God speed to the
work and SAYING they were with the meet
ing besrt and soul.
A series OF resolutions were then unaui-
m usly adopted which denounced polygamY
sui MOrmOuism, and asking Congress to
render impossible the entrance o. Utah into
the sisterhOOd OF States until the continued
existence Of pOlygamy shall he made i'm
possible, and this on the just plea that the
conc ssiOn OF the power OF self-gOvernment
must always be conditional on the dlspOsi-
tiOn to exercise its privileges lawfully: also,
demanding that the protection OF our
national prestige shall not he longer extend
ed over the foreign prOpsgators of this
/ iniQuity among the populations whose
laws are as decidedly opposed to
the vice OF pOlYgamy as our own. The sd-
mission of any one living in open violation
of the moral laws OF the land into our Con-
gressiOnal halls was protes ed agains', and
Congress requested to abolish the Terrific
rial organ Z4tion OF L sh and govern the
Territory by commissioners or by a legisla-

President or Senate. The Representatives

Opium Administered d by Unknown
Hands.

According to Louisville special, Mrs.
Belle Oldham, well known and wealthy
woman. who lived near the city limits, was
found lying dead in her bed Saturday
morning. From the discoloration of her
face, her clinched hands, and the general
appearance Of the body, the physicians de-
cided that she had been poisoned with
opium, violently administered by other
hands than her own. The only circumstan-
ces that 90 to shed light upon the deed are
these: Early the evening before a negro
woman called at Mrs. Oldham's house and
asked permission to remain all night. The
request was complied with, and pallet
made for her in an adjoining room. An
eight-Year Old boy of Mrs. Oldham's says
that his mother put him to bed and then
went into the room where the negro lay.
In the morning the boy, on awakening,
missed his mother, and after calling
her went to her room and found her
lying on the bed, with her clothes nearly
all torn from her body. The negro
had gone out of the house through a side
window which was found open. Mrs. Old
ham is suing for a divorce from her hus-
band, and at the last term Of the Chancery
Court had won lawsuit conveying to her
600 acres of valuable land, the rental Of
which brings $4,000 per annum. At her
death the land was to go to her children. A
description of the negro woman is In the
hands of detectives who are securing the

CHARLESTON, January 31.-The inquest
on the body of W. H. Burbridge, the mail
agent who was killed in the collision on the
Charleston and Savannah Railway on the
21st inst, finished its labors to-day after
being In session two days. About fifteen
witnesses were examined, and numerous
counsel, representing various parties inter
ested, were present.
The jury was composed Of twelve white
men. The verdict is as follows:
"That the deceased came to his death on
the Charleston and Savannah Railway by
an accident caused by the misconstruction
of the order to meet and pass by the
conductor and engineer of train No. 43,
Pinckney aud Burns, and the road Is censur-
able for the loose manner in which orders
are Issued "
The feeling in the community at the ver-
dict is one of disappointment. 1t is con-
sidered that by dividing the responsibility,
rs they have, the jury have left it nowhere.
Counsel for the parties who are bringing
suits for damages against the road are dis
posed, however, to regard it in the light of
a victory. The inquest on the body OF G. E
Osborne. another of the victims, commences
on Thursday. Another jury has been or
ganZed in this case.

SUFFERING AT SEA.
The PeriIs of Winter Navigation.

We have already published brief notice
Of the sufferings Of the crew of the three

Port Royal for Boston on the 10Th instant

dated the 26th instant, says they expert
enced fine weather up to Sunday, when the
cold wave struck them. The air was in
tensely cold. The wind blew gale. The
spray, dsshing over the vessel, froze as
soon as it fell, and deck, bulwarks, masts
and rigging were soon completely incased
in ice. The vessel kept on her course, how
ever, and, after an extremely rough passage,
made Block Island Monday morning. At 4

anchor. UD to this time, although the crew
had suffered greatly from the cold, none of
them anticipated any serious result from the
icy weather. Within halt an hour, how
ever, after the sails were furled the clothing
OF the mate and three of the crew were
frozen st #, the Captain escaping through
having been more warmly clad and having
been able to take better care of himself
Toe names of the injured men, who are all
single, are Lewis Prodee, both feet frozen
badly; Frank Nelson, both feet frozen very
badly; W. H. Wilson, both feet and
hands frozen; Charles S. Stackpole,
both hands frozen. The first three are Ital-
iaus, while Stsckpole belongs in Thompson,
Me. Capt. Harding went ashore and noti
fed the authorities at Woods Hole of the
disabled condition of his crew, but for some
unexplained reason no proper care seems
to have been taken of them. They
were not removed to the shore, as it might
b expected they would have been, but
were allowed 10 remain on the vessel from
Monday until this morning, terribly frozen
as they were. Meanwhile kilograms were
sent TO Taunton, Providence, Fall River,
and other plrces, stating their position and
soliciting hospitality. No favorable an
swer to the dispatches was received,
however, until Wednesday morning.
when word was received from the
hospital at Chelsea that they could
be accommodated there. L. is feared am.
putatton of all the injured members will
have to take place.

De Freycinet read the progrs mme OF the
new Cabinet. 1t sets forth that the policy
of the government will be one. above all,
calculated to establish peace in the minds
OF the people, and at home and abroad it
will be mild and conciliatory. Liberty and
prayers are necessary for France. The
government will apply in lib
eral sense the laws relative to
the press and the right OF public meeting
A bill will be submitted, sanctioning the
right OF association, while maintaining the
rights OF the State. Revision of the cOnsh-
tuition ought to be postponed until the eX-
piration of the term of the present Legis'a-
ture. The judicial, military and educational
reforms inltiated bv the late Cabinet will be
persevered with. The efforts of the Cabinet
will be directed to giving an impetus to la
Dor. Nations do not live by politics, but
by business. The government does not in
tend to propose a compulsory conversion OF
the debt or purchase of the railways by the
State. No efforts will be spared to arrive
at a definite solution of the tariff question
and for the moral and intellectual improve
ment Of the people.
