A Strange Robbery.

A telegram from Chicago says: Early in
the week a milliner from La Sale, ILL.,,
who conducts retail establishment in that
town, came to Chicago to purchase a bill
Of goods. She registered at the Palmer
House, and was shown aroom OF the fourth
floor. During the day she called at the es-
adjustment of A. s. Gage, and while look
ing over the stock exhibited well-filled
purse. The next morning at 10 O'Clock
she was quietly sitting in her room. She
opened the door on hearing knock, and
was Immediately confronted by a man,
who took her by the throat and forced her
to the floor. Before the clutch on her
neck was relaxed handkerchief satu-
rated with chloroform was placed to her
nose. The drug and the fright soon rem
dered her unconscious. When she recov-
cred the robber had gone, and with him
$500 in cash, draft for 5000, and a gold
watch and chain. Detectives were put to
work, and thus far have suppressed all
knowledge OF the affair.

HOW He Avoided q Cowhiding

A TalbOtton (Ga.) telegram says: DIR. w.
r. King, OF the Southern Infirmary, CO.
lumbus, Ga, who is on professional visit
here, found upon the register at the Thorn
ton House the name OF j. NJ. Williamson.
Louisville, KY, representing the house OF
w. L. Weller d. Son. The Doctor recog-
nized the man as one ne had met little
over year since at Dawson, Ca, and who
had insulted the Doctors sister-in- law.
As soon rs Williamson found out that
the Doctor was here he tried TO avoid
meeting him, and finally took refuge
in Captain Thornton's store, where
there are two female clerks. The Doc
tor, not wishing to call him to account in
the presence OF women, wrote him note,
in which be asked him to come out and
meet him, or to sign paper sent him, set
ting forth that he had acted the part OF
knaye and fool, and had shown by his ac-
tons that he was no gentleman. William
son was so badly scared that he could not
frame an answer, and employed lawyer
to do so, but he at last became so frighten-
ed that he slipped around to liyery-sta-
Bile, got a buggy and horse, and skipped
across the country to Geneva, while the
Doctor was watching the railroad station,
expecting him to attempt to escape on a
train. The Doctor says he will catch him
yet and make him sign the paper or take
a coWhiding.

Callahan VS.. Rue,

When we penned the article in another
column In reference to the violation OF
the civil-service act by a Federal official
in the Norfolk navy-yard, we did not
know that the minority report OF the
Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions OF the Senate, recommending the
seating OF MIR. CALLAHAN, was about
to be adopted. In fact, we had not ex-
pected him TO be seated. But so it Is !;
and we are glad that our columns show
so good reason for the action OF the Sem
ate. Mr.. CALLAHAN is Republican; does
not now pretend, and never has pretended,
10 be anything else, so far as we ever
heard. His competitor for the seat is a Co
alitionist. II 1t had been earlier In the
session the Senate would. we presume,
have ordered q new election, since the
vote on the question OF seating Mr..
CALLAHAN was Is TO IA. But at this late
day there was no other way OF rebuking the
Administration for its unlawful medding
with the election OF yirginia's lawmakers,
and so Mr.. RUE was sent home. We will
not undertake to say whether the action OF
the fourteen or that OF the fifteen was
right. But we win reproduce other ex-
tracts from the report OF the minority OF
the Committee on Elections TO show lin
connection with what Is quoted In the
other article alluded to- that the Senate did
not act in the dark, nor without what II
deemed sufficient reasons. We quote:
"To what extent this illegal and COR
rupt arrangement operated against Gala

but II does appear that one of the negroes
who was thus scdueed from Callahan could
control at least one hundred and fifty
votes.n
This evidence shows, however, that
not only the patronage OF the great Fede-

The Virginia Democratic platform OF
last year denounced the internal-revenue
department as nursery OF spies and in
formers, and for other Objectionable fea-
lures. 1t might well have added that it
was nursery Of manslayers. Read tele-
gram from North Carolina in the Dispatch
Of yesterday. Two revenue officers in
Mitchell county killed three men and
wounded fourth. And yet we are told
that there are Democrats even in North

internaLreyenue department, and oppose
the repeal Of the internal tax upon tobac-
