Mooney, who has always been regarded as
the heir presumptive to one OF the most
valuable farms in Central susquehanna
county, went to Perry county, Penn, about
three years ago. Ho fell in love with
Anna McGarry, whose father was we'll
to-do farmer He became engaged to her,
but In the summer Of 1872, at picnic, he
found fault with her for receiving the at
tentions OF another young man. A quarrel
resulted and the engagement was broken
of. Mooney then began paying attentions
to Betty McGarry, sister. They became
engaged, and the day was set for the
welding, Two days before the day, Betty
took olense at aoinething Mooney said or
done, and unceremoniously broke the en-,
gagement. All OF MONEYS persnasions
failed to bring about q reconciliation.
Anna McGarry, had not spoken to him
since their estrangement, and he was sur
prisea to receive letter from her some
days after tho engagement with Betty was
broken. It simply expressed 10 him her
regrets that her sister had treated him so
badly. Ina few weeks the old relations
between himself and his old love were re-
newed, and they were married in the
spring Of 1855. Mrs, Mooney died within
year and then Mooney married Betty,
his sister.in,law. The girls father object
ed 70 tho marriage and they were COM
PEELED to elope. The second wife died in
about year.
last week Mooney visited his uncle in
Susquehanna county, There was q young
woman with him, whom he introduced as
Mrs. Mooney. The strict idea Of the Sus-
quehanna farmer would not permit him
to giyeaI gracious welcome to the third
wife of his nephew taken within two
years Late in the evening the uncle
learned thatthe third wife was the step
mother OF her two dead predecessors, who
was married TO MIR. McGarry while
Mooney and his second bride was spend
ing their honeymoon in Susquehanna
county. Mr.. McGarry had. bequeathed to
her q farm in Perry county. From all ac-
counts, tho, uncle in SusQuehanna county
is 80 indignant over what he calls the
scandalous conduct OF his nephew that the
general judgment is that the enterprising
Benedict need no longer expect to become
the owner Of the fine property in the lat
ter county. Mooney is not yet twenty
two years OF age.

A Monume ent to Comm smorate the Passage
of the Homestead Law.

OIL Iht hohch1cNd
WASHINGTON, D. G., Jan. 8.-There is a
mild.mannered crank here from Dakota
who is devoting himself to the task OF try
ing to get the Government to assist in the
erection of a monument at Mitchell, D. T.,
to commemorate the passage and the ben
etits OF the Homestead law. His name is
Davies. He has stirred up the people out
there and has worked them up to the
point OF fbelieving that such structure Is
indispensable to their happiness and 70
the safety OF the Union. They want 1t
built OF granite, 100 feet high, something
after the fashion OF the ancient
Tower OF Babel. He was here on
the same errand last winter and got Sam
Cox tn introduce bill, but the committee
10 which it was referred sat down on 1t
hard, submitting very adverse report.
Now he is going to try another bill, pro-
yiling that the Government donate iorthe
rurpose one township Of land, or in lieu
thereof tho sum OF Sl0O, 900 in cash. MIR;
Davies says Cox, Holman, Eaton and
other leading Democrats are in favor OF
the bill, and that they are going to rush 1t
Through for him this season. The simple
hearted old gentleman actually believes
| It. but the fact is there Is no more chance
for the scheme TO go through than there
is for Dakota itself to be admitted as IS, Q
State before she mends her ways androlls
up less formidable Republican majority.

yesterday, to consider the deficit. NJ.
Muridle, the director, in presenting the
statement Of the condition Of the the treas

Patti and Tremelli to fulfill their engage
ments. He said that legal actions had
been instituted against these signes. He
proposed that the concern should go into
liquidation and be recognized as lyric
theatre for French opera. A committee
was appointed TO examine the accounts
and decide upon the proposals.

READING, Pa, Jan. .s.-The worshipers
in the reformed Evangelical Friendship
Church in the lower part Of this city have
been considerably disturbed by the APP
pearance Of vision on the wallof the
church. Since discovery Of the strange
sight several people have been converted.
Rev. Theodore Jones, the young eyange-
list who in connection with the regular
pastor has been conducting nightly revival
services in the church, was called on this
afternoon, He admitted that vision had
been seen. The figure he says, Is that OF
q mans face, and appears directly above
the motto t'The Son OF Man has Come to
save and to Seek That Which was Lost." /"
ReY. Jones by way OF explaining the
cause OF the vision to his people referred

his doom on the wall and asked those
present how they stood and whether the
vision was not some visitation from on
| high giving warning to sinners to repent
tanTi be saved before It wastoe late. Some
persons attribute the strange phenomenon
to the Superior Power and regard Il as an
omen for good or evil. The affair has Gre

cLEyELAND,s CABINET.
The Democratic Leaders ut Washington
Sdi In tho Dark.

Tie Democratic Lenders Mt Washington
SIN In tho Dark.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-The opinion is
growing here that Mr.. Bayard will, II
asked, refuse to accept a seat in President
elect Cleyeland's Cabinet. To none OF
the Senator's intimate friends in Congress
has he expressed an intention OF his pur-
poses, but this may be due to the fact that
he has not yet been formally rendered q
Cabinet place. Mr.. Bayard is virtually
assured Of life tenure in the Senate 30
long as the succession is maintained, but,
il he should once step aside for an out
slider, it might cause him trouble to regain
his local prestige.
Senator Bayard and Mr.. Cleveland are
only acquaintances as yet and it is, Of
course, impossible to predict what their
personal relations might be after few
months Of close official intercourse. The
Senator, like Governor Cleveland, has q
strong will and earnest convictions. His
friends think that one reason why he ex-
presses so little desire TO enter the Cabl-
net is fear that alter resigning his seat he
might be unable TO agree with the new
President and be unpieasantly remanded
to the obscurity OF private lie in Delaware.
Nothing has been done by the friends
OF ex-senator Stockton, OF New Jersey, IN
relation TO his desire to be made Secretary
OF the Navy. since the delegation visited
Governor Cleveland at Albany, shortly
after the election, in his behalf. A gen
tleman, who was member OF that party,
saws that the reports of the interview held
with the President-elect at that time were
incorrect.
Cleveland was not asked in terms to ap-
point Stockton to Cabinet office, but ne
was requested, in the event that he should
determine to choose member OF his Cab
met from New Jersey, to favorably con-
slider Mr., Stockton's claims.
Members OF the party now seem to be oil
the opinion thatthcir action was altogether
previous, and that 1t would have been
much better for the claims OF New jersey
and the hopes OF Mr.. Stockton's friends II
ali reference to Cabinet appointments had
for some time at least been kept in the
background.
me Star calls attention to a circum-
stance generally observed, that there
seems to be lack of earnestness in the
support given to Mcdonald. A gentle
man who conyersed with ex-senator from
Indiana several days ago says that Mr..
Mcdonald was satisfied from information
he had received that the President.elect
had given some thought to his Cabinet
and had about made up his mind as to
one or two men, but he would not tender
any formal invitation to anybody until
freed from the duties OF Governor.
Mr.. Mcdonald remarked that, as Tor
himself, he would prefer the Attorney
Generaiship, but would notoppose Senator
Garland. He did not fancy tho Interior
Department. but rs against that would
rather be Secretary Of War.

VIRGINIA ROBBED,
Investigating on,cini stea1lnGs That May
Reach si5O,o0O.

Reach sl0O,ouO.
RICHMOND, Jan. S.-Recent develop
Inents in the defalcation discovered in the
office OF the State Auditor of Public Ac-
counts indicate that the loss will reach
100000 to sl500OO. For seven or eight
years various sums OF money paid into
the office on account OF taxes have not
been credited on the books. The latest
discovery shows that check for 81, ,S2G,
paid by the Western Union Telegraph
Company for tax was not credited on the
books OF the Office, although the check
had been deposited and collected. In an
other instance the Merchants National
Bank OF this city,'paid nSS06 for taxes. In
both OF these cases, as well as in all the
others in which any irregularities have
been discovered, the money or checks
were paid to Mr.. w. r. Smith, the late
first auditing clerk in the Auditors Office,
now in jail awaiting an investigation by the
grand Jury OF the Criminal Court. One
complication OF this case is that all OF the
money alleged to have been diverted was
paid in by the several taxpayers in plain
violation OF law, and was not, therefore,
the property of the commonwealth. 1t is
an admitted fact, that, by sort Of general
consent, as was the habit, all Of these ac-
counts were paid into the Auditors Office
directly, instead Of being paid into the
state Repositories to her credit. 1t is
question now whether the loss is to fall
upon thetax-payers or thecommonwcalth,
and this will have to be decided by the
courts. THESE Irregularities cover period
during which both the Democrats and the
Republicans were in control Of the State
Government Their magnitude and the
manner in which they took place, it is
believed, will induce the Governor to call
the Legislature in extra session.

DYNAMITE STORY
SAID no pp 4 enEAr cANARD.
Tho 1rl.hmen Indignantly Deny It's Truth,
and Persons who Have Investigated
the Rumors of Plot Find Them
to bo Entirely Groundless.

PErrspuRan, Jan. S.-The chronicle 7ele.
papl's special from Greensburg Pa, says:
The dynamite story published in this
mornings papers has caused considerable
excitement here to-day. The story was
known to many last night, but was not
generally credited. Major James w. Laird,
editor OF the Pennsylranid Argus, OF this
place, says he knew Of the alleged pyna-
mite Society some two or three months
ago, that he had taken steps then to trace
the matter out, hut had never accomplish
ed anything worth the time and money
spent in the endeavor, lie regards the
story as without foundation. James B.
Laux, editor Of the Erentng Press, Of this
place, says he thinks the story was gotten
up to cause a dissilection among the Irish
and English miners Of this county for
political reasons. BE says he does not
believe a word Of 1t, and that it is a
cock and bull story without truth in it.
Frank Vogle, editor OF the ERtslmorelaRd
Democrat, says he has not evidence to form
an opinion on, but that II any such society
is in existence and has been exposed that
the exposure was probably made by
English miners in league with the detec-
tiyes, il such they prove to be. County
Detective Alcorn says he has noticed'a
stranger upon our streets several times
during the past few months, whose actions,
to say the least, werei that he had tried
but could never gain any information as
to what his business was or where he came
from. II. ]. Brunat, proprietor OF the
Evening Pres, says he does not believe .
word OF the story and that he knows that
there is not better class Of law abiding |
citizens in the State than the miners at
Irwin station and vicinity. Hon. James @.
CLARK says hewill not belieye word ftAp
story until better evidence is produced and
that he thinksit Is q fabrication. WillHuH
the agent OF the ocean steam ship lines at
this place, says he has sold about hum
dred tickets TO Europe in the past year,
but thinks they were evenly divided
among the German, Hungarians and Irish
He does not believe the
story. There is probablyno truth in the
alleged discoveries made, but it is true that
the people here have been terribly excit-
cd oyer the rumor ever since it was made
public last evening. Where the story
originated and for what purpose It Is inn
possible TO ascertain. While there are
those who believe that there is some tratl,
in it, u large majority ofthe citizens OF oil
political shades of'belief set the whole
matter down as huge Oanafd. 1t is
claimed that the agent Of the ocean steam!
ship lines at Connellsville has sold more
tickets to Europe in the past year than all
Lhe towns in this county put together.

SOUTH NoRwALK, CoNS., Jan. s.-The
photograph OF a CHASTITY, dishgurcd face
hangs in the Postofice Of this town and is
the subject Of much discussion. 1t is the
likeness Of the man, or that sole portion
Of q man which was found intact, on the
railroad track Just below South Norwalk
on December 80, and from its appearance
foul play is suspected. The authorities Of
the town have been doing their utmost
with the very limited means placed at
their disposal to investigate the case, but
with no success, and yesterday DR.. w. @.
Burke, medical examiner here, wrote to
Superintendent Walling, OF New York,
asking him for assistance.
Early on the morning OF December 80,
a laborer found the mutilated body OF q
man scattered along the railroad track for
at least Atty yards, about half mile be-
low the station, the only intact part being
the face. DIR. Burke was ut once sent for,
and the body removed. The victim was
evidently about thirty years Of age, was
FIVE feet seven inches in height, and
weighed probably l50 pounds. In DR..
Burke's opinion, he had the appearanceof OF
q well-to.do mechanic, his hands being
soiled like those OF machinist. The
circumstances Of the case lie in
the fact that the pockets wers turned in
side OUT that there was u cut over the
right eye which must have been given be-
fore denth and thOk fha nnEa UoS rnunh
swollen, az by blows. There were, more
over, several scratches OH the face.
at is simply another Connecticut mys-
terry" said Dr.. Burke yesterday. "rhis
State Is becoming one where crime can be
easily, owing to the fact that
the State Attorney has no funds upon
which he can draw to detect crime. We
are almost without money, and for US to
employ Pinlerton's men at IS day and
expenses is out Of the question"

IRWIN, Pa, Jan. a.-Leaalng Irlshmen
here deny tho statements in the morning
papers that the dynamite headquarters are
in this vicinity, but there is a strong ele.
ment Of Irish people here bitterly opposed
to England, and they express. themselves
willing to use any means to gain the free
dom of Ireland. Much money was raised
here at one time for the Land League, and
q company Of Fenians drilled regularly a
few years ago. There are but few Irish
men here, however, who possess sufficient
executive ability to carry the schemes Of
the dynamiters into effect, and it is prob
able the report has originated in the talk
Of q few young men Of that nationality
who are desirous Of being thought promt-
nent. The American citizens OF our town
are gradually losing the sympathy; they
once felt for Ireland, and express their de-
testation Of the dynamitists and these un,
lawful designs.
