Acquittal of a Murderer By Grand
 Jury.
 FREDERICK, March 1.-The gravity of this usually sober community has been very much disturbed to-day over the action of the grand jury yesterday on two cases which have caused no end of talk here At last Autumn's elections, Augustus Porter. a Dem ocratic policeman, had an altercation with a negro at the polls and killed him. The act was with apparent provocasion, and it was generally expected at the coroner's inquest that Porter. who is a desperate character, would be indicted for manslaughter, if not for murder, but contrary to this belief, the grand jury acquitted him. The other case was more recent one and involved James c. King and Dr. Roth. A short time ago King compelled Roth at the point of 8 re- volver to sign E, 900 note as an indemnity for alleged adultery of Roth with Mrs. King. The case since then has been considerably complicated by King surrendering the note and beginning an action in the courts for $1O,OO0 damage. The grand jury now indict King for assault with intent to kill.

The Plight eff MT. Eagan.
 LONDON. March 1.-The Times in an edi- torial says: "We have good reason to be- lieve that the inquiry now proceeding will implicate the Land League beyond doubt in the immediate patronage of crime in Ireland, even if it does not establish it's direct connec- ton with the Invincibles. The flight of Pat rick Eagan, unless explained, is moral ac knowledgment of guilt. from the damaging consequences of which none of his associates can escape. Unless Eagan can clear his oSn and his associates characters we shall not be surprised to learn that the leaders of the Land League who still remain in the United Kingdom may shortly find it convenient to follow Eagan's example. It is understood that if Patrick Eagan had appeared as a wit ness in the breach of promise case of Miss Hyland against MT. Risgar, counsel for the defence, would have asked him whether he had used any of the funds of the Land League for Miss Hyland's case.

The Rising Flood-A Distressing Aspect.
 HELENA, March 1I.-Although the river is declining slowly the fall is not sufficient to ease the feelings of anxiety, the water being at such high stage that furious wind storm would send it all through the city. From the overfowed points above Helena the situation presents most distressing as- pect. The water is higher than ever before known, reaching high lands that were con- sidered free from and above overflow, de- streying and carrying everything in it's way, in some places rushing as fast as twenty miles an hour The demoralization among the negroes in the bottoms is becoming se- r1ous source of trouble. They are leaving in hundreds, all seeking homes on the hills at this place, or anywhere away from the points of overflow.

 emy-PIain Talk.
 WASHINGTON, March 11.-Secretary Chand- Ter yesterday addressed the following letter bearing upon the recent trouble at the An napolis naval school to Captain Ramsay, superintendent of the academy:
 Sir-The cases of Naval Cadets Frazier, Quimby, Sweating, Sparling and McCora are referred back to you for further considera- ton and final recommendation. All the pa pers concerning them which have been transmitted to the department by you are herewith returned and various letters inter- ceding in their behalf are also forwarded to you for consideration. It is not the inten- ton of the department to interfere except for extraordinary reasons with such measures and rules as the superintendent and academic board may adopt for the discipline and instruction of the cadets. Such frequent interpretations procured by the parents or influential friends of the cadets would soon demoralize the academy and ulti- mately change it from 8 school of special in struction and severe discipline, designed to fit the cadets for the perils emergencies and patriotic enterprises of military life into an ordinary institution of learning If 1t ever become such it could not be hereafter maintained at public expense of four hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually. In making your fual recommend ation reasonable leniency should be shown those cadets whose improper conduct may have resulted from haste or youthful thought lessness, and their future career should not be clouded by dismissal for light causes. On the other hand, the real welfare of the whole school should inexorablg control the action of it's authorities and the effect which may be produced upon the great body of cadets by retention of persistent wrongdoers should have full weiQht any decision.
 Very respectfully VIM D. CHANDL9R,

Arson and Robbery.

PoTTsvILLE, March 11.-A daring robbery and fendish attempt at arson was perpetra- ted at New Philadelphia, mining village sit uated on the Schuylkin Valley branch of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad four miles from this city, last night. The scene of the operations was the postoffice at the above place, large frame building, owned by the estate of Edmund Ellis and occupied by his widow and unmarried daughter. The latter is the postmistress and Mrs. Ellis is an old, feeble lady, suffering from the infirmities of age.
 The cellar of the building was occupied as bottling establishment by one Martin O'Niell. Above this was the room occupied by the postofice two rooms over that were occupied by the Ellis women. O'Niell had access by stairway to the latter rooms. About midnight James Smith, late railroad ticket agent, was going home and saw such a bright light in the room over the postofficeS that he aroused the Ellis family and proceeded with them to the room. To their utter surprise they founn the room all ablaze. Coal oil had been promiscously scattered about it and ignited Smith and Miss Ellis. after a des perate battle, subdued the flames. and they found the interior of the adjoining room had also been set on fire. The flames were again conquered, but not before the upper portion of the house was destroyed.
 The mystery surrounding this dastardly work was soon elucidated by the discovery that the postofice had been robbed of be tween $I 800 and g., 900 in money and VRlu ables. Postage stamps and stamped envel- opes were also taken. The burglar and in cendIary left the building through a rear window, and in jumping to the ground drop ped twenty dollar gold piece. His tracks were plain and led to the creek. On the other side Of the stream they were equally plain and led to O'NeiIs boarding house. In his house were found a quantity of stamped en- velopes. ONeil, however was missing, and officers are in search of him. All these cir cumstances point to him as the guilty person. Had it not been for the fortunate discovery of the fire by Smith there can be no doubt that in addition to the two crimes of robbery and arson the nahrders of Mrs, Ellis and her daughter would have been added.
