FOUND WITH THE GOODS,
Three Young Scapegraces Rob Peddler
and are Captured.

MnLERsBuRG, Pa, March 25.-Last
night as Henry Hornhold, a peddler, was
driving from Schuylkill County he was
stopped by three armed and masked high.
waymen and commanded to disgorge.
The party rifed his pocket of $500 and a
gold watch. This morning Henry En-
holtz, sixteen years old was arrested while
trying to sell the stolen gold watch in a
jewelry store at Liverpool. At the JUS
tlce's office he said he had received the
watch from tramp, Upon being searched
S275 was found upon him, and
he confessed that he and two
others had agreed to rob the peddler, but
stoutly refused to give the names of his
partners. Suspicion was directed against
two of his companions, named respective
ly Luther Martin and Henry Klinge, aged
fifteen and fourteen years. Upon them
were found Sl25, four gold-mounted re.
volvers, number of actresses photo
graphs, and several dime novels. They
stated that Emholtz had instigated the
crime, and that he intended taking them
to Idaho if his plans were successful.
Emholtz is believed to be the party who
has committed several mysterious robber-
les in that region.

RAILROAD TALK BY TELEGRPH.

The gross earnings of the Louisville &
Nashville for the second week in March,
1854, were S272, 740; 1883, S2Gl ,700-in-
crease in 1884, Sll,O40.
The cyclone express run over the Van
dalia Line is now one of the most popular
trains run on the road. II earned last
year Sips per mile run, which is large
earnings for train Of that class.
The statement of the equipment of the
Michigan Central Road shows that there
are at present in use l20 passenger cars,
forty-hye baggage, mail and express cars,
five dining cars and sufficient freight cars
to swell the total to l2,OS4 cars.
Railroad officials at Chicago are au-
thority for the statement that one million
bushels of wheat were contracted for
there for shipment in forty-eight hours,
and four hundred thousand bushels for
export. This is attributed to the reduc-
ton ordered in the freight rates.
The Vandalia now has l05 frst-class
locomotives on its system. Thirty
eight new engines have been added to
the equipment in the last eighteen
months. With the exception of five
switch engines, all are heavy flrst-class
passenger and freight locomotives.
Under the present rates it costs thirty
one cents to get a barrel of -four from
Cincinnati to Baltimore; thirty-three
cents to Philadelphia, and thirty-seven
cents to New York, which is less than
drayman will haul a barrel of flour
for half dozen squares, yet there are
people who complain of the exorbitant
rates charged by the railroads.

2,2G2 he found lodged in a tree near the
Camden coal mines; car 1872 he found in
a field in the Ohio Valley, one hundred
yard from the track, and he reports nu-
merous cases of like character.
The mail trains ON the Jacksonville,
Madison and indianapolis Road now
make the run from indianapolis to Louis
vile in three hours and fifty minutes. AS
the train is eight minutes getting out of
the city limits, makes thirty stops, and is
then eight minutes crossing the Louis
vile bridge, there are but few trains in
the country that reach SO high a rate Of
speed.

NEW YORK, March 25.-The steamer

ton, and rowed away from the brig leay-
ing the Captain and the cook on board.
They were both drowned as the brig sank

OF the Inflated vessel. He was picked up
by the steamer Edward Cushing, which
took him to Aspinwall, whence he was
brought to New York by the Acapulco.

FAILED TO FLAP,
An Experiment Which Was Spoiled by
Carelessness.

An Experiment Which Was Spoiled by
Carelessness.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 2j.-AWest
Philadelphia boy tried an experiment to-
day. He had made up his mind that a
human being could fly as we'll as a bird if
he went about it in the right way He
thought he knew the way. He persuaded
his younger sister, who had great conf
dence in him, to become his assistant.
Having laid his plans before her and
convinced her that flying was q
very simple matter after ALL she
consented to make the first attempt. He
took her up to the second-story porch,
and having brought out pair of big tur-
key wings and an Old umbrella and some
stout cord, he began to rig up the too
COniiding victim for the great trial. He
bound one wing to the outside of each of
her arms and fastened the outspread UNI
brela to her body by putting the handle
behind her head and passing Il cord
around just below her shoulders.
The umbrella was to act as a
parachute, about which he had
read just enough to make his knowl-
edge dangerous, and he quoted the girls
miSgivings by saying that this arrange
ment would let her down easy. When
the little girl stood completely arrayed
for the trip, the boy told her that all she
had to do was to jump and flap her wings
and she would fly like any bird. Five
minutes later the family doctor was sent
for in great haste to mend broken leg,
and the youth, when upbraided and pun
ished for his cruel folly, insisted that if
the little goose had tapped her wings as
he told her to, she would have been all
right.

An Appeal for Congressional Assistance,

New ORLEANS, la, March %. Great
efforts were made last summer by our
state authorities to close all creyasses in
the State and place our loo miles OF
leyees in a secure position These State
efforts were to some extent supplemented
by those Of the Federal River Commits
sion, and a month ago the leyees
were in better condition than at
any time since the war. But the extra
ordinary flood from the Ohio and other
rivers, coming as it did fully month
earlier than any previous spring rise,
aSsalled the new works before they had
become effectually consolidated and this,
coupled with the fact that the weather of
late has been extremely wet and windy,
has resulted most disastrousy. All the

relieved. But the water is still everywhere
above the danger line, and not only are
the finest plantations of the State and
some of the railway lines under
water, but the danger of further
encrOachment is immincnt; hence,
urgent measures are pressed upon
Congress for relief appropriation in or

but the water is over the wharyes. The
principal danger is from a threatened
