The Sunday Law at Anderson.

Special to the Indianapolis Journar.
ANDERSON, July IS.-An effort was made in
this city to-day by Marshal Zion to enforce a
strict compliance with the Sunday law and com
pei business men to close their places of business
under penalty of prosecution, but the result was
dismal failure. This morning the different
customary Sunday trade was transacted. The
movement meets with but little sympathy
among the people, and has but few abettors.
There is no serious infringement upon the Sun
day law in Anderson under the present municipal
government, and the city never was as free
from Sunday disturbances as at present.
The saloon men have arrived at the, conclusion
that discretion is the better part of yalor," and
saloons that in former years were conducted on
Sunday, in open defiance of law, are now closed,
and but little, if any, Sunday traffic in liquor
prevails. Gambling houses that were once no
torious have either been closed entirely or are
operated less openly than IN former times, while
other minor reforms have combined to give An
derson the best city government it has had for
years. The extreme point to which the marshal
has carried mis- proposed method of reform,
has had the effect of arousing a feeling of dis
gust In business circles and among people In
general Yesterday he served notice upon all
business men, including druggists and livery
men, to close their places of business to day,
and one instance will suffice to show to what ex-
tremity he went in serving those notices a
camp meeting is in progress at the fair grounds
under the auspices of one of the Anderson
churches and a small colored boy has been
peddling candies, peanuts, lemonade, ETC., among
the crowd The marshal walked to the fair
grounds. a distance of twelve or fourteen squares
and notified the youthful confectioner to desist
from selling his articles to-day under penalty
of prosecution. The little fellow had anticipated
a crowd at the camp-meeting to day and con-
saquent harvest of nicklss, so he called upon
Mayor Mcclure and appealed to him for the
privilege of selling The Mayor was rot in
clined to advise the boy in the matter, but a
prominent attorney, standing by, told the lad to
proceed with his Sales and proffered to stand
between him and trouble. The movement Is not
popular 1t appears to be the work of the
marshal himself, no one else being identi-
fed with him in the affair. The marshal has
signiied his avowed intention of prosecuting
all who violated his orders and refused to close
their places of business in accordance with the
law, and the developments of tomorrow are
awaited with interest.

PITTSEuEG. July 26. The damage 10y
this mornings storm was much greater
than at first supposed, and will probably
reach 500, 600. The storm appears Ia
have been confined TO Western PennSyl-
vania, and was the most severe known for
many years. From almost every town
along the river reports of great damage are
being received, houses flooded, crops de-
stroycd, trees and fences washed
away. Almost every railroad
ccntcring in the city suffered
from landsideS and washouts. but the fury
of the elements was probably greatest
along the Pittsburg and Western road,
Whole fields of wheat and corn have been
destroyed and at one Point near Evans
City n strip of wood land seventy-iivc
yards wide by thrcc-quartcrS of a mile
long, was lcvc'cd by a tornado. At Pine
Creek, along Butchers Run and in the

and many families were forced
To leave their houses and
fly to places of safety to escape drowning.
A strange coincidence of the storm was the
fact that il occurred on the twelfth ami
ycrsary of the Butchers Run flood, in
which nearly 200 persons lost their lives.
To-day the residents of that place had Il
severe reminder of the terrible disaster as
the storm played havoc in that ncighbor-
hood
As far Us heard from there were no cas-
ualtics in this city. In the country dis
tricts n number Of persons were injured
and two killed. At Leechburg, Pa. Peter
Purviancc. aged l. years, sought shelter
from the storm under large tree, which
was struck by Lightning. Young Purvi-
ancc was killed instantly. \ lady Whose
names cannot he learned was struck 10y

WASHINGTON, July 26.-It looks now
rs irCongress would certainly adjourn on

deficiency appropriation bull at 3o'clock
this afternoon and then went into Executive
session when the nomination of Lloyd Reed
to be postmaster at Clarksburg West
Virginia was favorably reported by the
Committee ON Post Offices and Post roads.
Reed already has charge of the office
but his nomination through
the influence of Gen. GOff has been hung
ND. and it has been feared that Congress
would adjourn without confrmingi it. 1t
is now almost certain that it will be favor
ably acted upon before the close of the
week
The session with closed doors to-day has
been taken up by the discussion Of the
nomination of IN Indiana Interal Revenue
Collector. which was adversely acted upon
bv the Finance Committee. The Senate

Special TEIegrGR TO The REGISTER.
PARKERsBURG, w. VA, July 26.-Last
night was one of great excitement at Long
Bottom, O., opposite Murrayville. During
the day the Salvationists from Ironton, D.,
held basket picnic, which was attended
by large crowd of people, among whom
were quite number of tOughs and des-
peradoes from along the river.
About 1920 o'clock two men went to
the residence of Mrs. Starkey, an aged
widow lady, who resides near town. They
tried to force an entrance, presumably to
rob the old lady, who is popularity supposed
to be worth considerable money, which
she is believed to keep about the house.
The lady was awakened by the noise and
went to the door, arriving just as the men
had succeeded in forcing it open. She or
dered them of, but they paid no attention
TO her, and advanced, one of them holding
a revolver in his hand. The old lady, who
is nervy, and always armed, opened fire on
them. firing three shots. One of the bur
glars fell in the door and
was dragged out of the house by his
partner. Then went out the backway TO
town, after seeing that she had probably
killed one of the men. She was followed
to town by her family of two little dogs
and three pet lambs, and when the pro-
ccsslon arrived at the doctors, where there
happened to be a family gathering, it is re-
ported to have been a sight worth seeing.
The doctor and several men went back to
the house and found the alleged burglar in
the front yard, where he had been drag
ged by his partner. He was terribly
wounded, and DIR. John Ryan,
who probcd the wound, said it
might prove fatal, as he could not find the
ball The other man was also captured
Both of them were found to be armed
The wounded burglar was found to be a
man who gave the name OF John {. Cox,
an emplOye of Il contractor on the o. R.R
Mrs Starkcy was highly cOmplimented
on her nerve and skill in beating off two
men, both armed, and in the shooting of
one of them.

CHICAGO. July 26.-COl. W. II. Bolton,
chief of the division for handling second
class matter at the Chicago postotlicc, was
arrested shortly after noon to-day, changed
with the embczzlcmcnt of public funds, by
means of false returns The poStotlicc in
Spect0rs claim to have traced shortage of
$1,000 from November lSSl, to NOvem-
Der. 1SS5, and intimate that the total
SHORTAGE will be from $50, 600 to SlOO, 900.
John T. Stuart, the wcighcr, was also ar
rested. The inspectors say they have found
that the Chicago DdHy NcrS Company paid
him nearly 81, 900 more from November,
ISL, To November 1885, than the amount
which he returned over to the government.
They also allcge that during the same pc
riod the Western News Company paid him
about S3. 900 more than he returned TO
Washington.
They have still to inspect the accounts
of all the Chicago newspapers which had
papers mailed there during Col. Bolton
stay in the office.
Col. Bolton was appointed by PoStmas-
ter Palmer in lS11.
The arrests of these two are very likely
to he followed by more, as the inspectors
have discovered a private memorandum
belonging to Col. Bolton. which they
claim duplicates II number of federal Off
cialS and even private citizens. The in
spcctors say that the facts which will
quickly brought to light, will produce Il
sensation which will astOmiSh the country

belief that his prosecution would bc re-
