Society in Marshallfown, Iowa, says
the ST. Louis Repu6lscdn, is all torn up
about a new or eccentric figure intro
dueed into the German by provincial
dancing MASTER which is euphoniously
styled the dark waltz squeeze. The
seductive feature of this waltz is that it is
performed at certain stage of the dance
when the lights are wholly extinguished
The professor, before venturing to intro
duee this trifiing Innovation, took vote
on the subject, on which occasion. and
for the purposes of that time only, the
ladies were vested with their rights" and
did all the voting themselves. The dark
waltz squeeze was adopted with con-
siderable enthusiasm and the dance went
on. At the appointed time the gas was
turned off, and to make assurance doubly
sure the supply pipe in Che basement was
closed. This, to quote an expressive
phrase used on the occasion, was to make
sure that there should he no monkey
ing with the will of the people sex
dance was performed, but as to whether
everything was conducted decorously the
chronicler was unable to throw any light
ON the subject Indeed there was no
light Now Marshalltown is in the
throes of a bitter controversy respecting
this performance One of the news
papers of the town has nailed the anti
dark waltz squeeze flag to its masthead
and proclaims its purpose to stand by its
colors to the bitter end and to the last ex-
tremity. Another journal, which evil
IDENTIFY believes in the capacity of the peo-
pie for government, and especially in
the rights of women, takes issue with its
'losthsome contemporary, and defends.
as in duty bound, the sacred privilege of
its fair neighbors to waltz in the dark if
they want to, and this, too without hav-
ing their motives questioned or their
names dragged before the public. 1t does
not believe that the accident of cessa-
ton of hight in hall where Marshaltown
bellies are dancing would endanger the
good names of the jewellers. 1t takes
high ground in defence of the sex. The
question has been referred to the society
authorities of Chicago, and nothing short
of the approval or condemnation of the
dark waltz squeeze by that high tribunal
will ailay the fierce spirit of social strife

DRUNKEN POLICEMAN SHOOTS A
RoUNDsMAN DEAD.

NEW YORK, March 1l.-At half past
this morning officer Patrick Casey, of the
Hunters Point police. killed Roundsman
Richard Comisky. The murdered rounds
man was sitting at his desk in the First
Precinct, conversing with two officers,
when Casey entered. 1t was noticed that
he was under the influence of liquor and
acted strangely He entered the rear of
the room and called in two officers to help
him fix his pistol. They did SO, showing
it in his pocket. Casey walked out to
where Comisky sat, and when within
TWO feet of unsuspecting Comisky, he
halted and said, what do you follow
me for?" Comisky replied that it was to
work Casey fired. The ball entered half
an inch below Comisky's eye and he fell
dead. The murderer was instantly Sc
cured and hurried to the county jail 1t
was fortunate thing for him, as within
fifteen minutes thousand people gather
ed, under the impression that he was still
in the station, and made strong effort to
get hold of him.
1t is supposed Casey was in state of
insanity when he shot Comisky. On the
way to jail he manifested fear. laboring
under the impression that eevry one
wanted to kin him
Comisky. is brother of the Chief of
the Hunters Point Fire Department, and
was unmarried. Casey has wife and
three children. A strong guard is posted
about the jail, as threats of lyncbing are
made.

A Philadelphia Scandal OF Large Pro-
p0rti0ns---Attempted Suicide of
the Heroine.

PHILADELPHIA, March S.-Thos. A.
| Craig last week pleaded guilty to a charge
| of seduction, preferred by Miss Elizabeth
Benson, and it was testified at the trial
that he had made her acquaintance in
connection with church festival, and
| that he had promised marriage. The re-
| suit of their intimacy-and it was testified
| that the intimacy was limited to the
single time when it was alleged the seduc
| ton was accomplished--led to second
charge. involving crime of helnous
| nature. During the course of the trial
Craig offered to marry the, girl, but she
declined. He thefeupon pleaded guilty,
and was sentenced to ten years and one
half in the penitentiary. A number of
prominent members of the church of
which Miss Benson was an apparently
devout member testified to her excellent
character, and made the defendants
wrong appear so much more glaring that
the court imposed an unusually severe
sentence. This judicial vigor has proba-
bly, saved Craig from long imprison-
ment
Last Thursday young and handsome
man walked int Counsellor Heverin's
office, and after giving his name as James
Johnson. said that If Craig deserved an
Imprisonment of ten and a half years he
certain IL should be locked up for a 100
years. He said that the severity OF Craigs
sentence had compelled HIM to come for
ward and tell his story at the risk Of per
sonal disgrace The disclosures that he
made were simply appalling, and in sup
port of his allegations he produced letters

By his ruling, the committee on rules

consideration of their report all rules were
suspended, and anything could be done
by majority vote. Yet Mr. Keifer, Mr..
Robson and Mr.. Reed were majority
of the committee, so that, at the insfiga-

The payment of silver certificates by
sub treasures in the West and South on
gold deposits in New York has just been
resumed, and Gen Edwards, of the St.
Louis sub treasury, on Thursday paid out
SITE, 900 to two banks. In 1881 the
amount of certificates which could be
thus paid out was limited to 5000 day,
and in October, 1882, the order under
which they were made was rescinded
altogether OF late the smaller denomi
nations, tiyes, tens and twenties have been
growing scarce, but they will probably be
plentiful after this. The payment on
Eastern deposits was discontinued to pre-
