A NOTED SCOUT GONE.
Death of Colonel Harry GiImOr OF MO sby's
Command, in Baltimore

Death OF Colonel Harry GtlmOr of MO shy 3
Command, In Baltimore.
Colonel Harry Gilmor, the noted Con
federate scout and guerilla, who during
the war was conspicuous for his pluck and
bravery in various cavalry expeditions
under Mosby's command, died at eight
o'clock Sunday evening, at Baltimore,
from a cancerous affection, with which he
had been suffering for several weeks, in
the forty sixth year of his age. Colonel
Gilmor met his death with remarkable
fortitude. He recently submitted to two
painful surgical operations, declining the
use of Opiates, but there was no beneficial
result. His sufferings for the past ten
days and up to five o'clock Sunday after
noon were of the most intense character.
Notwithstanding this he was comparative
ly cheerful. His mind was unclouded,
and only afew days ago he conversed
cheerfully with General Jubal A. Early,
who called to see him. Governor Hamil-
ton was among his visitors yesterday and
many ex-Confederates called recently at
his house. The death scene was witnessed
by only his immediate family and during
the last three hours of his life he was un-
conscious. Colonel GilmOr will be buried
with military bonors. The members of
the Maryland Line society, Confederate
state society Of Maryland, Fifth Maryland
regiment, Masons and Odd Fellows and
other societies of which deceased was
member will participate in the demonstra-
ton. Prominent merchants and bankers
have united in an effort to raise a sub.
scription of ten thousand dollars for the
education of Colonel Gilmcr's three orphan
children, and up to this time about four
thousand have been subscribed.

This morning the week Of adjourned
quarter sc ssi0ns began with Judge Fat.
terson presiding. On tho list there arc 40
cases for jury trial and 6 for desertion and
surety Of the peace. This includes the
cases of the young men of this city who
are charged with arson.
In the cases Of Franklin Kilohrist and
VIM. Munroe, charged with rape and
fornication with Lizzie McClarren, YER
diets of not guilty were taken on the more
serious charges. Both men plead guilty to
fOrnication. Munr0e was sentenced to pay

convicted of rape upon this girl. A motion
Was made for q new trial, which was
granted, on the grounds that new testi-

With this it was impossible to convict him
OF rape. Both he and Munroe were will
ing to plead guilty to the crime of fornica-
ton and the commonwealth were willing
to accept this plea.-REP.1
In three cases of larceny, in which VIM.
Franklin was charged with larceny of q
lot of tools from Wm. Sales, verdicts of
not guilty were taken. John ShrOad and
Frank Blair were tried on the same
charges last court !; the former was &C.
quilted and the latter convicted. The
evidence against Franklin was no stronger
than that against Shroad, and the COM
monwealth thought the best way to dis

not guilty.
In the case of B. B. Albert, charged
with defrauding landlord, verdict of
not guilty was taken, as the defendant re

These defendants wero charged with
stealing cord wood from the property of
Henry Troop, on the Welsh mountain, in
Salisbury township. 1t was shown that
Shriver and Henry Green were seen carry
ing MIR. Troops wood away. When asked
about it both men said they did not know
the wood belonged to him. In his defense
Green stated that he only took few small
pieces of wood which he trimmed from
the bushes that the wood choppers had
left. Shriver testified that the stick Troop
found him with was not taken from his
grounds, but he got it from an old tree,
which had been blown down. Caroline
Green stated that she had permission
from Mr.. Caldwell, who owned the land, ,tc
pick up some loose pieces of wood. The
case against the woman was not pressed.
The jury rendered verdicts of not guilty
as to all the defendants. -

Col. ROBERT G. INGERsoLL's lack Of
piety may be understood when it is known
that his father, a congressional clergyman
passed much of his time on his knees. At
the dedication of a church in Oneida coun-
ty, N. Y, once upon time, the elder In
gersoll made probably the longest prayer
on record or ever uttered by any sane
minister, occupying on the opening of the
services just one hour and seventeen min

ROBERT SMALLs, the notorious negro
congressman, had his attention attracted
by the new statue of Fulton in the ma
tional capitol the other day while on his
way from his lunch to his seat in the
House. Who's that ~ he asked thickly,
his mouth full of pie, as he stopped before
the figure of Robert Fulton. "That's
the man who ran the first line Of
steamers between New York and Liver
POOL" said a gray. haired old congress-
man, solemnly. What's that in his
hand ?" went on the colored congressman,
taking another bite. That's the model
of steamer John Roach built for him
last year." Is he running the line
still ?'' inquired Smalls, gulping down the
last bite of pie. "No," said the white
colleague, starting for the House " he
sold out to Jay Gould last week."

-Events OF the Day.
At Indianapolis the work of the relief
committee still continues. Up to the
present time nearly 440, 600 have passed
through the hands of the board of trade
relief committee. The expedition sent
out from Evansville and Madison returned
Saturday night. Between Evansville and
New Albany, out of q population of
1,216, there are g. 256 persons who need
relief, while 1,42S houses have been
submerged, and there have been IS deaths
and 362 cases Of sickness. The distress
found at Shavneetown was almost
beyond description. In one room of
the court house there were found
$50 persons. In one corner was
lying the body of dead woman, in
another a man was dying. The Legisla.
ture of Illinois has done nothing, and the
first iOta of relief came from Indiana boats.
Chicago has sent the paltry sum of $3.50
to these people. The Indianapolis public
schools have contributed $474.03 N few
rooms. Where the little ones could not
bring money their teachers told them to
bring potato, and before night five bar.
rels Of potatoes were contributed.
The town of Columbiana, ILL.,, is entire
ly submerged, only the roofs of two houses
being visible. Eleven houses have floated
away. One house has been demolished
by cake of ice. The citizens have fled
to places Of safety.
The latest news from the overflowed
country along the Mississippi river is that
what are known as the sunk lands " in
the st. Francis river region are entirely
submerged ; that nearly as far down as
Helena there are but few places above
water. People are living in the upper
stories of houses when there is more thar
one story, or are floating around on RATS
or in boats. Most of the inhabitants
however, have deserted their homes, and
have gore to the highlands back from the
river. Tho streets of New Madrid art
submerged to depth of from two to fOul
feet, and there is water in almost every
hodse. The whole country back of thai
place, as far as Cairo on the Missouri side
and from Hickman south for over fifty
miles is inundated. Corn, live stock and
fences have been destroyed, but no grea
amount of suffering among the people il
reported.

Caso-P0liticsi Influence.
At Uniontown it is now for the first time
authoritatively stated that the prosecution
of Dukes will be in charge of ex Senator
William H. Playfold. This gives assur-
ance that the case ~fll be vigorously con-
Quoted, as Mr.. Plsyford is the leading
criminal lawyer of the Fayette county bar.
He gill be assisted by Messrs. A. D. Boyd
and R. P. Kennedy. The defense will be
conducted by Hon. Charles E. Boyle and
R. II. Lindsey. The prosecution will be
made on the broad grounds of willful,
deliberate and premeditated murder, and
a first degree verdict asked for. Dukes
counsel will urge the plea of self defense,
and the defendant affects to believe that
he will be acquitted. Some effort has
been made to bring political influence to
bear on the case, owing to the prominence
of the two men occupied in their parties.
Dukes being Democratic member of the
state Legislature, some of his friends have
thought it was the duty of his party to
see that he is acquitted. For this reasons
the work of empanneling jury will be
doubtless very tedious, Political feeling,
however, does not yet run high, and the
local papers have nearly all been careful
not to influence public opinion. The let
ters are in the hands of the respective
counsel, and will probably be produced.

that stock be issued to the amount of $500,

prepared a subscription paper and urged

could. After mature deliberation the

At Toronto judgment in the Phipps
case will be given by the court of appeals
on Tuesday next. The general opinion
around the courts seems to be that the
prisoner will be extradited. There is no
doubt that the two equity judges and
chief justice, will decide against him, but
there is just possibility that the two
common law judges, Burton and Patter-
son, will oppose his extradition. The
decision of the appeal court will finally
settle the matter, unless, indeed, Phipps'
counsel follow the example of the counsel
in the case of Hall, of Newark, N. J., and
apply to another judge for a writ of
habeas corpus returnable in the court of
common pleas. This. however, is not
probable, as in the Hall case the man
puvre was unsuccessful, the common
pleas judges declining to have anything to
do with the case, holding that the decision
of the appeal court was final.
A Young Bighwsyman.
Saturday morning Edward Potts, of
Pottstown, while on his way to tho
Bridgeport depot, was knocked senseless
by a colored man on the stone bridge, near
the Bridgeport Baptist church, and cut
with razor, and robbed of his watch and
pocketbook, containing about $40. From
a description given of the william Officer
Hoflefnger this morning arrested David
Atlee, q youthful offender, and lodged
him in Jail. An unknown white man who
was with Potts assailant is still at large.
Atlee has served several short terms in
the county prison for minor offenses. He
was but recently released from conine-
ment.
A safe Robbed.
The safe of J. c. Klaholt, jeweler and
matchmaker, in Springfield. Illinois, was
robbed early OF Saturday morning of nearly
s20, 900 worth of goods. A large portion
of the stolen property consisted of dia.
monds and jewelry, and it included 400
watches, of which $50 had been left for
repair. The robbers first entered hard
ware store and secured revolvers and tools
with which to break the safe. Schutt,
private watchman for Klaholt, says there
were three that they bound and gagged
him and threw him in the coal house, but
he succeeded in freeing himself soon after
they left.
Freight Superintendent Killed.
John J. Toner, a well-known Demo
cratic politician and su perintendent of the
freight department of the Philadelphia,
Wilmington and Baltimore railroad in
Wilmington, was passing between bum.
ber and some cars when an engineer
backed the cars, catching and squeezing
him between a car and the bumper. He
was not mangled, his injuries being chiefly
internal, in the region of the stomach. He
died in half an hour after the accident,
leaving vito and two daughters.

Blake has been ret0rtjng with a denial,
not of the verify Of the special examples
cited, but Of the alleged general tenden-
cies of her sex and of the response
bility for these abuses of the better
education and larger opportunities given
woman than heretofore. That the
reverend doctor may live and learn the
controversalists who oppose his views
can find demonstration of in the fact
that some years ago he was an earnest
advocate of clerical celibacy until he
met his fate and gave practical proof of
his change of views.
