THE TARIFF COMMISSION.

Yesterday's Session In New York.
New YORK, October 5.--Peter Cooper ad-
dressed the Tariff Commission, saying the
country wanted a permanent tsrif-0ne
that wouldn't be brokenup every ten years.
A lengthy paper, prepared by Mr.. Cooper,
was read, containing 9 review OF che ques-
tions under investigation, and also treat
ing generally of the causes OF the last pan
ic and the present prosperity OF the country.
The phlet also advocated protection for
labor, and this could only be done By hay-
ing the amount Of duties equal the differ
erence between the cost of q days labor in
our country as compared with the cost OF
similar days labor in other countries. The
difference, when carefully examined, will
be found to be on an average in this coun-
try from so 10 $50 per cent more than is
now being paid for similar labor in other
countries.

P1rrsBuRGH, October 5.--Mr. David Bar
bcur, avery prominent business man, who
fprmany years past has been the general
inAhsger and financial superintendent of
the well-known Touring mills of Marshall,
Kennedys & Co.. on Liberty street, has been
arrested upon an information made by the
senior member of the firm, Mr.. A. NJ.
Marshall, upon charge of larceny as an
employe, made before Alderman Kennedy.
Mr. Barbour has been for many
years past the confidential man of
the firm, and was always considered by
them as gentleman of sterling in.
tegrity, and his honesty was never doubted
herefofore. For some years past the firm
concluded that the returns made for cash
COLLECTIONS were not equal to the amount of
flour manufactured and turned out for
home sales. At the same time Mr.. Bar
bour, il is snow alleged, was so manipulating
the finances that he was the last one in the
employ of the firm whom they suspected.
That there was wrong somewhere became
so nalpable, however, that the firm con-
,cihded 10 engage the, aid of q detective,
which they did-so the reporter was in
formed-by securing one Of Pinkerton's
men. He came on here from Chicago, and
was employed as roustabnut in the mill,
and for the past SIX weeks has been weav-
ing the net that has finally scooped in Mr..
Barbour as the alleged embezzler. 1t is
alleged that Mr.. Barbour's ''modus
operandi" was as follows:
1t was rule of the firm that all city de-
liyeries should be cash: Barbour would
4 I..1 ixr,,fh oary txro ttyk kar
rels of flour; he would make the collec-
tions. and would make the record show on
the books as receiving money for only
twelve barrels As matter OF course the
cash collections would appear correct, and
Barbour would pocket the amount collect.
ed on the other eight barrels. Thus it is
alleged, has he been -translating his
share of the business until the
firm finally got their eyes opened to the
fact that there was something very loose.
The grain was being put into flour, the
flour had been disposed of, the city cash
collections were apparently correctly ac-
counted for, but the income from said
sales, did not make the exact balance that
would be expected from such sales: In
other words, Mr.. Barbour has, it is
charged, been sharing with the firm on
particular business method of his
own. The above is the substance of the
history of the case that could be derived
from all outside sources, the parties par.
ticularly interested being very reticent in
regard to the matter. 1t is said that Mr..
Barbour had accumulated q sufficient sum
of money to enable him to be placed on
record as a wealthy man. 1t is asserted
that Mr.. Barbour, on a salary Of about
81, 200 year, has saved sufficient to invest
in government bonds to the extent of some
$50 900.

for Vermont Terror.
BARNARD, VI, October 5.-For the past
two weeks the people in and about this
section have been kept in a state of con-
tinual fear by the exploits of large female
panther, which has for ayear past commit
ted various depredations in this section.
Her preferences have been decidedly dem
onstrated within the time first specified.
During the month Of September the animal
made frequent visits 10 the farmers houses
in the night. Within the past fortnight
the beast has killed about score OF sheep,
two-year-old bull and a yearling colt in
this vicinity. The beast seems content to
suck the blood of its victims, leaving the
flesh untouched. The fact that such an un-
welcome stranger was in the township was
first
Discovered About q Year Ago,
end it was soon after ascertained that there
was pair of the precious animals at large.
Last THANKSGIVING Day two lads struck
what they thought was the trail OF cub,
and tracked him TO q clump Of bushes
Finding that the animal had not passed out
of the bushes, the boys notified Mr..
Alexander Crowell, of this town, OF their
discovery. Mr.. Crowell took his gun and
started 10 kill the supposed cuo. Arriving
at the clump of bushes he got down on his
hands and knees, and commenced to work
his way through them. He had proceeded
but short distance when he found him
self ....a
Face 20 Face with Huge Panther,
which had poised itself and was about TO
spring. Mr.. Crowell grabbed his gun, and
in his surprise and fright did not stop to
take aim but fred at random. The bullet
entered a vital spot. and the snimal was
killed outright. 1t measured seven feet
from tip to tip, and weighed 1921 pounds.
IL is next to impossible to track the beast,
as the dogs will not follow the trail even
after il has been found, ana local hunters
are not very anxious to come to close quar-
tiers with the brute. Jt is asserted that Z:
T. Rsrpum has made a standing offer OF
10000 for this one if caught alive, or 500
for the body.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, October 5.-This morn
ing at an early hour while the first section
of freight train was standing at Linden
station, FIVE miles from this city, on the

The caboose and two freight cars OF the

WASHINGTON, October 8. 5.-President
Arthur has achieved distinction in being
the first one of all our Presidents to venture
beyond the confines Of our territory while
in Office. The belief is quite common that
the Chief Magistrate cannot cross the bor-
ders of our country without the express
permission Of Congress, while others hold
that there is nothing to prevent him out
the tradition given above. Be this as II
NAV, il is certain that Arthur, "unbeSnoWnSt
to him" has made the break, and invaded
Canada. Arthur is up in northern New
York on a fishing expedition, and has been
in no little tripidation lest the yacht Min

be had captured his only muscaionge, ana
night had fallen and he was DOING on the

tory and yentured a few miles into Cana

NASHVILLE, October 5.-This morning at

mated at not less than two thousand miles.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Barnard observed
that the nucleus had assumed the form OF a

sand miles in length and three thousand in
breadth.
CINCINNATI. October 5.-Prof. Wilson, of
the Cincinnati Observatory, corroborates

the separation of the nucleus of the comet
this morning, into three unequal frag-

THE EAST RIVER BRIDGE.
The Structure Too Low to Allow Large
Ships TO Pass.


NEW YORK, October 5.-The mishap to the
ship Undaunted, which had her upper
spars carried away while attempting to
pass under the East river bridge, causes
great dealo talk upon the several ex-
changes where the men of commerce con-
gregate. The vessel was a ship of 1,764
tons, and was on her way to the Sectional
dry for a coppering. The sky-sail
mast and the royals had been housed,
while the topgallant masts were left stand
ing. There was very high tide at the
time, and the vessel stands we'll out OF the
water. As the ship reached the bridge the
foretop-gallant.mast went with crash, car
ryipg away the foretop masthead. Then
the maintop. .gallant-mast came up to the
bridge wires and sprung under, splitting
the heel, however. The debris from aloft
came down on the deck with great force,
and in addition a strip of the iron floor
beams from the bridge fell upon the yes
sells deck, breaking through the forward
deck-house, and covering the deck with
splinters of wood. Luckily no one was
hurt
