Adventures OF a peraulter.

Bloomington, ILL.,, Special: A short time
ago a rather stylish looking man, appsrsnt-
ly thirty-three years OF age, arrived in
Bloomington, and in Il few days found en-
ployment in nj of the most fashionable
saloons of the city, as head bartender. He
gave his name as Alexander Hamilton, and
informed his employer tnat he was former
~ engaged in The tobacco business in st.
Louis. but had failed. About two weeks
ago an Eastern man visited the saloon where
Hamilton was employed and at once rec
ognized him as the former treasurer Of Jer.
sey City, N. j.. who d.iaulted some years
ago with $4,000 funds belonging to
that city, and which at the time
created much excitement in the
country. Hamilton has since been a
rover all over the world. After his defal-
cation $40. 900 reward was offered for his 40.
p~rehensien. rhe erring man vent to Eu-
rope and remained ssme time, after which
he went to jersey City and paid down 800
600, and, it is claimed, that he settled in
some way his defalcations. Hamilton
embarked in the sheep business, and had q
cattle rancho in Texas, making about $780,
COZ, which he lost by injudicious invest
ments. When he arrived in Bloomington
be was absolutely penniiess, telling the pro-
prietor that all he had in the world was So
and the clothes on his back. Hamilton in
formed your correspondent that he intend
ed to make Jersey City his future home,
aud II things shape themselves satisfactorily
he will eat his Christmas turkey at his old
home.

From Over the Ocean.

An explosion took place IN Moorfeld
colliery England, or the 9Th inst. At that
time ITO miners were i'll the colllery. Only
twenty we're rescued, some badly hurt. 1t is
impossible to estimate the number of per-
IONS killed. 6earchers are at work. Thir-
3ty mora men have been rescued, making q
total Of about fifty. The shaft became
blocked and many. persons are imprisoned
thereby, and little hope of rescuing
them Is entertained. The saved were taken
through the Whitney Hill shaft, q mile from
the blocked shaft. T~wenty-four bodies have
been taken out of the mine and twenty-four
await removal. The latest accounts show
that sixty-three miners were killed.
Miss Mary Anderson's phenomenal sue

A Perverse and wicked jury.

Burlington, Iowa, Special. This com.
munity was shocked on the 4th inst, by
n ofthose occurrences which have tended
to bring jury trials into disrepute. Joseph
Crone on Sept. 5, went up to his wife and
threw his arm about her neck, saying, "Jen-
ny, am going to kill you," and at once
commenced carving her with a knife, in
ficting seven or eight terrible wounds i n
her neck and abdomen, the latter some six
inches in length: The woman finally re.
last trial Mrs. Crone and other witnesses
testified to the above facts. and they were sd-
mit.ed by the prisoner himself on the wit
plicit charge by the court, retired, and re-
turned a verdict of mo guilty" to the dis
gust ofthe court and spectators, the Judge
prtsed; this is your verdict, not mine" In
the present state of feeling it would hardly
De safe tor = n to indulge in Crone's
amusement, the chances being that the case
would never go before q jury.

A Sensational Washington Marriage.

Washington Special: In 1865 Miss Mary
Harris, a woman about TIVE lty-seven years
old and fairly good-looking, came to Wash
ington from Chicago. She made a great
sensation soon after her arrival by shooting
and killing Adonirarl Burroughs, a clerk
in the treasury department. The shooting
took place in one of the corridors OF the de-
partment near the secretary's office. Miss
Harris claimed that Burroughs had Tilted
her. She was defended by Senator Dan
VOORHEES, and Joseph II. Bradley, n OF
the oldest attorney here. The defense
OF Miss Harris was insanity. She was
acquitted The fair defendant in her de-
light kissed Mr.. Br dley. This she did
with such great fervor that the gallant Id
gentleman was amply rewarded for his
work in the case. Miss Harris was soon at
ter sent to the insane asylum. After
spending sometime in confinement she was
finally discharged as cured. Recently her
marriage with Bradley is announced, max
irg a great sensation as Bradley is a wealthy
member of the bar, fully eighty years of
age. Miss Harris is fully forty five, but is
a well preserved woman.

ssM 49, -aAh
DR.. Koch, sent to Egypt by the Ger
man government to investigate the ORR
gin and of cholera, processes to
have identified a characteristic parasite
IN alarge number of cases. 1t is de-
scibed as bearing a close resemblance to
the ~thread-like bacteria found in connec-
ton with glander.s in horses. The por-
ton of the body in which these para
sites were found, and this in full activi-
ty, is the intestines. The doctor says
that the malignancy of the disease is in
proportion to the abundance of the
germs. It is alleged in the meantime
that Dr. Koch, has prcma,urely an
nounced his discovery, because NJ. Pas
3 q and others are at work in the same
field, and the German conId not take
the risk Of being anticipated in his sci
entific quest.

An elaborate calculation has recently
been made by Mr.. Edward Atkinson, a
noted statisticiano Of Boston, showing the
cost of q loaf Of bread made at the east
from the grain grown on the fields Of
Iowao or Dakota, and how the cost is dis.
tributed. This history Of the cost Of a
loaf Of bread Isl very interesting and
ingenious one, and at the same time
very simple. Ofthe value Of 100 barrels
of flour, $500 goes to the Dakota farmer,
the freight to Boston will be $l97.5 S the
the barrels will cost $45, the grinding
$50, and the commissions aud carriage.
$50, making the total cost ofthe hundred
barrels Of flour $6s2.5O when the flour
reaches Boston. The baker then takes
tbs hundred barrels of -four and adds
s$2l0 worth of oven-heat and yeast and
300 worth of labor, 80 that when the
fourg goes into the shop for sale in the
shape of 5000 loaves Of bread it has cost
$l.092,50--an equivalent Of 3l-2 cents q
pound. Forthis bread the baker or the
retail dealer gets Z cents a pound; that
is TO shy. the baker and grocer in Bos-
ton get about one-half Of the money
paid for a barrel of flour, the farme.
gets q fifth, the railroads one.tenth, the
miller, merchant and cooper n four.
teenth. Mr.. Atkinson's object in this
seems to have been two-fold
-tirst, and most important. to show the
poor people Of this country who live
from hand to mouth that their bread
costs them about double what it would If
they should make it at home; and. secon-
Oily, that the most ofthe profit on q loafo
bread does not 60 to the farmers and to
the railroads.

N~Tiscellaneous NIatters.

The test case for the victims of the Brook
Ign bridge disaster IS on trial in New York.
The complaint blames the management for
stating tsat the structure was certain and
safe, when, in fact. it was defectively built,
and IN permitting $1,000 to 90 900 persons
to go or the bridge, when the estimated
number for its capacity was put $4,000.

Making a Reputation.

Character marks what a man is, rep
utation what he is thought to be. A
man of a bad character may have a fair
reputation until he is found out, as he
generally is sooner or iater The fol-
lowing story told by the Waterbury
American Of the late Prof. Moses Stuart
Phelps and Prof. Newton, of Yale, illus.
trates both the difference between char
acter and reputatian, and how a man
may gain the n while destitute of the
other:
In the days when Prof. Phelps was
a graduate student at New Haven, he
took a walk n morning with Prof.
Newton, a mar who lives in a world of
mathematics and simply exists in the
common world of ordinary things.
Prot. Newton, as is his habit, started
off on the discussion of an abstruse prob
lem. AS the professor went deeper and
deeper, Mr.. Phelps mind wandered
further and further from what was be.
ing said.
At last Mr.. Phelps attention was
called back to his companion by the
professors winding up with, (Which,
you see, gives. us sx.'"
"Loes lt?" asked MI. Phelps, thinking
that in p%oliteness he ought to reply
something.
"Why doesn't it?" excitedly exclaimed
theprofessora, alarmed at the possibility
that a flaw had been detected in his cal
cul tons. Quickly his mind ran back
ovor the work. There had indeed been
a mistake.
You are right, Mr.. Phelps, you are
right" almost shouted the professor.
ut doesn't give US *: it gives us w."
Prof. Newton looked upon Mr.. Phelps
as q mathematical prodigy. He was the
first man who had ever caught the pro-
fessor tripping.
And 80" Mr.. Phelps used often to
add. in telling the STORY, 81 might have
achieved a reputation. It's the way
many regulations are made in this SUI
perticial world"

understand that the capital of this great
nation is destined to be-if it is not al

among wealthy people to make that

methods. He remained four years in col
lege, and alter graduating entered a theo-
logical seminary where he studied for the
ministry until 1852, when he graduated
and entered the ministry. He at once re-
ceived an appointment as rector OF Calvary
chapel, which was then a small mission
church. His vigorous reforms in its man
agement suon attracted attention, and the
congregation gradually increased in num-
bers. He established "a mission school, q
reading room and an industrial school for
the children of the poor. he finally sold
the old chapel building, and erected a
church at a cost of $3.50, 600 One feature
of his church vas the establishment of a
business room in it, where he met the bus
mess men OF the congregation. and dis
csssed their business affairs with them.

will enter upon his new Geld in a few

quarters at Fargo.
