A BOl d Robbery.

While Robert Wylie, of No. 2033
Catherine street, was standing on the
corner of Sixth and Race streets about
2 o'clock yesterday morning, little
the worse for drink. a man came up
and grabbed his watch and chain from
his pocket and ran down Race street
Wylie did not give chase, but about
$50 o'clock, while waiting at the cor
ner of Fifteenth and South streets, he
saw a youth come by who had his
watch on. Wylie recognized it by the
chain and locket, and placing his hand
on the youths shoulder, he detained
him until a policeman came up. The
officer at Wylie's instance, took the
boy in custody, and at the First Dis
trict Station-house he gave his name
as Robert Tate, his age nineteen years
and his home 6l2 South Sixth street,
and said he had bought the watch aud
chain from negro, to whom he paid
three dollars for it. He had a pawn
ticket in his pocket in addition to the
watch, which he said he found on the
street. He was locked up for a hear
ing to day, Wylie giving it as his be,
lief that Tate was the person who rob-
bed him. The watch and chain are
gold, the former being a lady's time
piece and both are valued at forty dol
lars.

The French Duel.

A terrible warning to Sabbath
breakers in the case of o Frenchman
who was killed In q duel on Sunday
last. The ancient maxim, the "better
the day the better the deed" does not
seem to have held good in this in
stance. Heretofore the French duel
has been regarded as harmless
amusement as we'll as healthful eXer-
else. In fact physicians have been
known to prescribe "a duel before
break fast every morning for a month"
as a restorative of wasted energies.
When enervated by deep draughts OF
absinthe, late hours and the fumes of
the cafe Partisan gentlemen prefer the
duel to any other medicine to restore
the glow of health to their cheeks and
renew the vigor of their muscle.
The fight which ended with such
disasterous results was between two
journalists one of whom was killed
while the other was dangerOuly
wounded. Such thing has not lately
been heard of and consequently all
Paris Is shocked. The only reason
that can be assigned for the strange
result is that the duel was fought on
Sunday. Boat sailing or carriage
driving during the week is not only s
pleasant diversion but a healthfu
exercise. Yet there are those wht
believe that when either of these in
nocent pleasures is INDUCED in on Sun
day it ends in sorrow to the sinner
who if sailing is drowned or if riding
is killed by a runaway team. Why
then should the French duel which OF
a week day is claimed to be simpl'
invigorator of health prove other THAI
dangerous pastime when practiceC
on the Sabbath? The unfortunate ter
mination of the duelin question shoulC
teach the non-sabbattarian French
lesson and incline them to devote onl.
the last six days of the week to spor
and exercise.

A. Strange Affair.

A strange affair occurred in Colum-
bus, Indiana, short time ago, show
ing what an ordinary portrait will do
to disturb a woman's mind. Mrs.
Jennie Council was q handsome and
wealthy widow, who had many friends
and admirers. For several months
past she had been in Iowa, and while
there was married to Mr.. William
Griffin, former acquaintance. They
returned to the home of the bride in
Columbus. The first object that met
her gaze on entering the parlor was a
life size portrait other former husband.
The sight of the familiar features al
most over came her, and all the familiar
surroundings so wrought upon her as
to cause a complete revulsion of feeling
toward her new husband. After
brooding over her trouble for day OF
two she confessed all to her husband,
declared she could never love him, ,and
besought him for the sake of both. to
leave her. She persisted in this re-
quest until an attorney was called in,
who drew up a statement, in which
each eXonerated the other from all
wrong-doing, but stated that their
marriage was rash mistake, and
mutually agreed to separate, and each
giant the other "a divorcewhen the law
would permit, Mr. Griffin pleaded
with his wife to change her mild, but
to no avail. He then left the house
and the town to again become wan
derer.

Republicans swallowed such things, n
time when great overruing issues
obliged them to submit to great wrong.
Take off these shackles that now drag
down the party and Pennsylvania will
be 10000 Republican" Mr.. Koontz
said he had more confidence in the
American people than to think that
one defeat will destroy the Republican
party. AS last nights speakers as
serted: "Wby, here's the old Demo
cratic party that has been kicked from
Dan to Beersheba for twenty years,
aud yet it is the liveliest corpse to-day
that ever saw. L have more conf
dence in the American people than
they have who talk of its destruction
| by a defeat i'm this contest. If it were
not for the internal spirit of bossism,
James A. Garfield would be living TO-
day, the chief executive of the nation,
and we are here to night to protest
against the practices that led to his
death"
General Koontz concluded amidst
great applause, and was presented
with a handsome bouquet by admir-
ing friends. Resolutions were passed
condemning the appointment to office
of personal retainers rs a reward for
supporting the individual interests of
usurping bosses, denouncing the
spoils system which led to the assas-
sination of President Garfield, as
serting that the assessment of Govern
ment employees deserves the con-
demnation of every honest and patri-
otic citizen and declaring in favor OF
the purity of the ballot, free schools, a
protective tariff, reform of the civil
service, reduction of taxes, and aboli-
ton of useless offices. Resolutions
were also passed endorsing Hon. s. s.
Blair, of Blair County, for Congress,
and Captain Isaiah Conlcy, of Bed
ford County, for the State Senate.

The Outbreak In Allegheny.
Philadelphia Press.1

1t Is very evident from the pro-
ceedings of the Conventions In Ale
gheny that there is a great deal of
restiveness and resolution in that
staunch Republican county. The ma
chine has usually been well-oiled,
easily handled and smoothly run. It
has seldom failed to grind out just
such grists as the managers wanted.
But at last the people seem to have
taken matters into their own hands,
and the signs are such as portend a
revolution.
The overwhelming triumph of Mr..
Bayne was itself significant. He was
the avowed and uncompromising op-
ponent of Mr.. Cameron he had de-
family. almost recklessly, made a
direct and unpquivocal assault on the
administration all the bosses, big and
little, had marked him for destruction;
he had even declined to pronounce for
the Regular candidate for Governor
under the ordinary conditions in an
ordinary time it would be supposed
that the machine could completely
crush i!in. let he swept the district
high and dry, and the feeble resist
ance or the impotent managers snap
ped before the popular tidal wave as n
house of cards tumbles in the storm.
1t was plain that the people were
deeply stirred, and their demonstra-
ton was unmistakable. The issue
was distinct because Mr.. Bayne had
been so emphatic, and because the
lines We're so sharply drawn that
everybody could understand 1t; the
expression was clear and decisive.
The same question entered into the
Senatorial nominations. In the Forty
fourth district the Independent can
didate went through on the first bal
lot. In the Forty second the contest
was close and doubtful, and it is
charged that Mr.. McNeill succeeded
by fraud. His competitor, Mr.. Shafer,
declared that sufficient delegates had
been chosen in his interest to nomi-
nate him, hut that they had been coun-
ted out, and on this ground he with
drew. At this distance it is difficult
to see why he abandoned the contest.
Irrespective of this question, Mr.. Me-
Neill had little warrant for pressing
his claims, and the party little reason
for nominating him. -Four years age
he barely squeezed in by the beggarly
majority of l65 in district where the
Republican candidate ought to have
nearly or quite two thousand. Such
an evidence of weakness in himself or
in his associations should have been a
conclusive argument against trying
another experiment with him. The
election Of this year, both as to the
State ticket and the Legislature, is toe
important to run any needless risks.
All in all the Conventions in AL.
legheny proved that the people are
moved this year by some deep and
pervading feeling. Hitherto thai
county, even with its great Republican
majority, has been one of the most re
liable machine dependencies. But il
is plain now that the machine ha:
lost its grip, and such manifestation
cannot be safely disregarded.

The Great Walton Trial.
THE TRIAL OF A WOMAN FOR THE
MURDER OF HER JEALOUS HUSBAND
THE CRIME.

THE TRIAL OF A WOMAN FOR THE
MURDER OF HER JEALOUS HUSBAND
THE CRIME.
philadelphia Press.
Greensburg, Ind, Sept. 10.-The
trial of Mrs Walton as the accessory
of John Garrett In the murder of her
husband, begen here yesterday. The
trial Is the most celebrated case in the
criminal history of the State. Gar
rett and Walton were wealthy farm
ers. Mrs. Walton's attentions to Gar
rett caused the jealousy of the hus-
band, and after a time, the scandal
becoming public, the husband was
murdered-shot through window
by Eben Frazier, a negro, who was
employed on Garrett's farm. The
principal witness yesterday was John
Mackey. man who was present at
the time of she shooting, and who had
been an inmate of the Walton house
for eight or ten years as hired man.
He gave II description of the premises
and surroundings; the intimacy ex-
listing for long period between Mrs.
Walton and Garrett; the presents
made by Garret to her ut various times;
the frequent visits of the negro Frazier
to Mrs. Walton, and of her visits to
him; that criminal relations existing
between Garret and Mrs. Walton were,
as to this witness and to Frazier, no
secret, and scarcely attempted tn be
concealed, they allowed themselves
TO be seen by these parties under cir
cumstances so unequivocal as to for
bid any doubt.
The defendant, Mrs. Walton, sat
beside her counsel in Court, but was
otherwise unattended. None of her
children or family seem to give the
trial any attention. She still exhibits
her extraordinary nerve, not even
winching under the ordeal of the
hearing of the evidence. The testi.
mony of the negro Frazier will doubt
, less be heard tomorrow.
