A case Of robbery which possesses sew

YESTERDAY. by a gentleman residing at
Crawfordsville, about ten miles across the
river, in Arkansas. a night or two ago
Mr. Burke, who keeps a store at that
place, was aroused in the middle OF the
night by Emmet Swepstone, young man
whose family stands well in the county,
and informed that his (Burke's) store had
iust been robbed. Mr.. Burke got up at
once and. went to hisstor with Swepstone
The door was found to be broken and
about fifteen dollars, which had been left in
the till, had been stolen. Burke remarked
this circumstance, but pulling open another
drawer, added, "They have left me my
watches and iewelry." Nothing more
was said, and Burke and Swepstone
left the store. Next morning Burke found
the watches and jewelry had also been
stolen, and discovered that the window OF
the store had been unlatched on the inside
and left so that it could be pulled open by
anyone from without. Burke became sus-
picious at once, and had aconference with
brother of Swepstone's. Emmett Swep-
stone took deep interest in the return of
the stolen goods, and they were at once re-
turned to Burke. Emmett Swepstone is at
present visiting friends in Texas.

FILES a BILL IN CHANCEk1 IOR DlNOHCE
FROM HIS WIFE.
In the Chancery Court James N Morris
files a bill for divorce against his wife,
Sarah A. Morris. Complainant is a resi-
dent of Shelby county. He states in his
bill that he joined in wedlock to the de-
fendant in Shelby county in November,
1875, and resided in said county until June
last, when she abandoned their home and
removed to Arkansas with the intention of
abandoning him permanently. Com
piainant states that from the time of their
marriage he acted toward his wife as Il
good husband should, and treated her as
kindly as her outrageous conduct would
permit, but soon after marriage she showed
an irascible temper and wasteful and shift
less disposition, which continually grew
worse, and she put all kinds of
indignities upon him, which he bore
to try and buy peace. Her slander
or his good name and personal violence
toward him eliminated in August, 1882,
in her filing a bill for divorce against him,
charging him with manifold injuries, in
suits and personal outrages toward her,
and with neglect of the support of his
family, every charge of which was false
and unfounded. She was induced by
friends to abandon the suit, and complain
ant agreed to let by-gones be by-gones.
She afterward went to Arkansas, and on
her return renewed her former course of
conduct. She al VARIOUS times struck him
with large sticks and repeatedly threat
ened his life. She finally abandoned him
in June last, and complainant prays for an
absolute divorce and the return of his
child

STEPPED ON HER FOOT.
NEARLY A MURDER CAUSED BY SEEMINGLY
INNOCENT ACTION

A night or two since while Ed Price was
standing in front Of Scott Snowden's gro
cery in South Memphis, the wife of Chas.
Henderson came up with her husband
and engaged in conversation. Price be-
came very much interested in all she had
to say, and edged up very close to her.
Finally he slipped his foot along under
the hem of her skirt and deposited it on
her toe with caressirg tenderness that
left no doubt as TO its being intentional.
The owner of the aforesaid toe protested
in the most vigorous language, and warned
Price that her toes were her own private
property and were not to be trespassed
upon with impunity. Henderson went to
his wife's assistance and ordered
Price to let his wife's toes alone.
Whereupon Price grew exceeding
wrath, and pulling out pistol cracked it
in Henderson's face. The latter retreated
into the grocery, followed by Price. Tie
Snowden brothers, who kept the grocery,
attempted to quiet Price, when he turned
his weapon upon them, ominously clicked
the trigger, and in a few moments was
alone-master of the situation. He was
arrested by Deputy-Sheriff Hancock and
will be tried before Justice Fleming, to-

rrInl OF renn,..ee,. Tren.nrer.

Judge Allen, Of the criminal court of Nash
vile, Tenn, has rendered decision novel in
that state, aud which is exciting great deal
of comment pro and con among the lawyers.
Marshall T. Polk, the defaulting state treas.
urcr has been arraignod for trial, and up
to last Tuesday seven jurors had been OBJ
tanned for the case. The judge received in
formation that Hill the first juror selected
had received favors from the Polk family and
had been tampered with, and ho examined him
on these points in open court. Hill denied
all the charges, said he had been the dairy
man of the Polk family for many years, and
that over two years ago Mrs. Polk, widow Of
the ex-presdent, had given him u picture of
her husband. He claimed that he was unpreju-
diced and had never conversed with any of the
family in regard to the case. Notwithstanding
his denial, Judge Allen on Tuesday morning
announced that he was satisfied that Hill had
been surrounded by influences which may
have operated on his mind, and made it inn
proper for him to sit on the jury. He also
stated that having examined into the history
of somc of the other jurors, the result of the
examination had boon TO develop matters,
taken in connection with the anteccdents of
some ofthcm, which made it improper for them
to sit on the case. AS to tho remainder, he
announced he had heard nothing objection
able, but that their association with Hill and
others rendered them liable to tho same OBJ
jections. He thereupon discharged the sever
jurors, and ordered new panel to be sum-
moned. Folks counsel excepted TO the ruling
and action of tho court
1t is evident that the hearing will be a We rN
protracted one; and that while all the facts
are perfectly well known, q conviction will
be exceedingly difficult to secure. Whatovo
motive may lie back of the courts action
there is nothing more plain than that the de-
lay will favor the accused. Delays in such
watched with more interei than belongs t.
the bare case itself, since the whole matte
is in the hands of gentlemen who are men
bers of political party that has never foun
words strong enough to denounco in other
the very thing they themselves are doing
now. Polk was arraigned several weeks ago
long enough since to have permitted the dc
velopment of unequivocal symptoms of a
acquttal or its equivalent 1t makes a dii

Dynamite.

The dynamiters had u large and quito an
enthusiastic meeting i'll New York on the
second instant. The meeting was called by
the Ladies' Irish Aid society TO raise funds
cuted under Judgment of English courts
p. j. Sheridan delivered an address, and
specially desired it to be known that he, and
not Others was personally responsible for all
he might say. The spe ,kcr fully justified
the use of dynamite or anything else which
would assist in destroying English power in
Ireland. His speech was loudly applauded.
A dispatch was received from California
rendering $25 for the bereavcd families and
500 for O'Donovan Rossa Prof. Tarply
favored tho use of dynamite, specially dwell
ing on its chcapness.
Prof Mozaerolf, whose name does not in
dicate Celtic descent boasted that he started
tho dynamite system and proposed to
keep it up. No officer had ever attempted
to arrest him, but if such an attempt
should be made he would annihilato the man
at once. His speech was loudly cheered. The
resolutions adopted by the meeting declare
that any person entering Ireland commits
stoned by England to fill an office does so at
his peril, and brand as traitors all Irishmen
who accept Office from England. Such
speeches and resolutions are not likely to
arouse sympathy for the people who are other

Mob Inv I'm ArknMsns.

1t is pleasant to record at least one instance
in which law abiding people have given evil
dence of their determination to suppress law
less mobs which are taking the execution of
justice into their own hands. In NJ onroe
county, Arkansas, q short time ago, James
Evans gathered and led u mob which hung q
colored man named Granville Warden for
supposed crime. The authorities of the county
promptly arrested Evans and placed him in
Jail TO await tho action of tho grand jury
Others are sought to be arrested who arc inn
plicatcd with Evans. Tho mob law is "a direct
encouragement to the horde of communists
now in this country to commence hanging
men because they are stockholders in rail
ways or banks, and arc unwilling TO divide
their property with the masses.
The Little Rock GaretN says very pointedly
on this subject that it is tho i1ys supineness
which creates and encourages tho mob. II
is absence of confidence in the determination
or disposition of the sworn conservators of
the law to faithfully perform their duties
that gives the mob force and effect and thus
Furnishes crime by the commission of crime.
To communities where reasonable assurance
of the punishment of criminals is given the
mob is almost unknown, for there is NOTHING
to stimulate its appetite. Judge Lynch reigpi

The Treasury department has received a
report from Capt Healy, commanding the
revenue steamer Corwin,s dated at Sitka,
Alaska, June Is, in regard to the alleged dis
putes of American and Brithish miners at
Harrisburg Alaska. 1t was charged by the

locations had been made, certain miners in
the adjacent county in tho Brithish posses
sions, without authority Of any kind, entered
upon thcir quartz claims aud located placer
claims on the surface, and have since 1881 con-
tinued to extract large amounts of gold from
the mines, and held possession by force,

tary Folger to investigate the matter, reports
that the territory of Alaska at large, and
Harrisburg in particular, was never more
quiet and peaceablo than ut present. Capt,
Merriman, commanding the United States
steamer Adams, informed Capt Hoaly that
he had just left Harrisburg, and that there

Tbc Cadet. won,t he Dlsmissed.

The cadet engineers of tho class of 1881
who have been notified of their dismissal
from tho navy under the provisions of the act
of Aug 3, 1882, have refused TO accept their
discharge and the years pay rendered with It,.
1t will be remembered that the court of claims
decided that this act had no application
whatever to these young mon, while tho Sec
retary of the navy decided directly to the
contrary. In communications addressed
to the department the cadets state that they
feel bound to respect the decision of the court
aud believe that their discharge is without
authority of law, and hence null and void.
They will therefore continue. to report for
duty from time to time and sue for their pay
us it accrues. 1t is understood that while the
secretary is opposed to the idea that he can be
constrained by the courts in regard TO what
he regards as purely administrative ques-
tion he will not oppose, and will, perhaps,
favor the restoration of these young men to
tho service by legislation at the next session
