Samuel Cathcart's Case.

In the case of Samuel Cathcart, charged with
swindling the New Denson Hotel out of Sl00
on q forged draft and for whom the requisition
on the Governor Of Missouri was issued last
week. there are some complications which may
delay his return to this city. At present he is
under arrest at St Louis. charged with defraud-
ing a restaurant-keeper out OF $50, by means
similar to those he employed here. and il is not
certain that the ST. Louis authorities will relax
their hold on him until the charge against him
there is disposed Of Governor Gray's requisi-
ton, if allowed By the Governor OF Missouri, will
be put into use soon as Cathcart is released
at St Louis. He Is said to be an old offender,
but previous difficulties he has gotten into have
been settled By his relatives.

Centra1-Avenue Church.

The services at Central.avenue Church, last
evening. were especially interesting, in connec-
tion with the Wesleyan observance. The songs
selected were all written by Chas. Wesley, and
commented upon by the pastor. Mr.. e. W.
Halford then entertained the audience with an
interesting talk. While in England last year
he visited the City Road Chapel and other
places sacred to Methodists, and his description
Of the scenes and his own impressions was
graphic and poetic. He dwelt upon the heroic
spirit of Metbodsm, its lofty purposes, and the
wonderful enthusiasm of it's votaries. by which
it has won its way to the very front rank
in this country, and to position of rever-
er ce even in ritualistic England. A hundred
years ego the followers of the Wesleys were re-
gsrded as ignorant fanatics and even the burial
places of the foremost among these great re-
formers was potters field in the very outskirts
of London. Now thai potter's field is fostered
don as one of its most honored and sacred mon
uments. The City Road Chapel and the tomb bs
of the Wesleys, he said, stand next to West
minister Abbey in the heart OF the world. as
shown by the register OF tourists who annually
visit London.

Methciisrn was enough to inspire the dullest

pitched high up in the empyrean, and its

The Koontz Grand Army.

Reports from the Koontz Grand Army, which
was intended, in the minds of its projectors, to
take the place Of the Grand Army of the Re-
public, indicate that it is suffering from some
of the internecine disorders which sometimes
attack young and aspiring organizations. The
difficulty which just row is splitting Mr..
Koontz's association up the back grows out of
an attempt of the organizers to affix a series of
degrees on the new organization, the purpose of
which is alleged TO be to put money In the

INTERESTING.
A Probability That the Glenn Murdersrs
Have Been Found.

D~oA ~uuua
Readers of the REGISTER will ~recollect
the previous publication of the suspicious
entertained by Officer Meredith, of New
ark, o, concerning the two men, Kelley
and Christie, in Jail at that point for burg
larry of Birds hardware store, at Mt. Yer
non, O., on W~sshington's birthday.
Meredith wrote to Chief Of Police Smith
about the two men, and after receiving a
reply from the Chief came on here himself
to look into the case a little further. His
story made quite an impression upon tie
authorities here, and Tuesday Sheriff
Handlan and Chief Smith went to Mt.
Vernon, where the prisoners had been re-
moved, TO see the authorities there and
hear more fully upon what Meredith based
his suspicions. The Wheeling men re-
turned yesterday, but refused to talk
much about the case for publication, which
was an indication that they thought they
had struck something of value.
In confederation of this, it was learned
that the Sheriff and Chief came home withs
well-defned conviction that the two men
were connected ina very intimate way with
the tragedy in this city. and there is every
prospect that steps will be taken to bring
them here as soon as some pending ma tiers
have been cleared away. A telegram from
Mt. Vernon, ia last evenings Cincinnati
Enquirer, said:
Sheriff Handlan, Of Ohio county, West
Virginia, and Chief of Police Smith, OF
Wheeling. visited this city to-day for the
purpose of identifying, if possible, crooks,
Kelley and Christie, who are locked up on
the charge of burglsrizing Birds hardware
store February 22d. The men at first
stoutly denied eve having been in Wheel
ing, bat being examined separately and
alone, admitted to the contrary. On the
10th of January last two burglars were at
tempting to gain entrance TO a store IN
Wheeling when they were discovered by
Policeman Glenn, who attempted 10
arrest them, but vas shot and killed
by one of the men, who made good THEN
escape. Authorities Of Ohio county Of
leltu a IChdlu VI pSlVVN W 'hS' aiAS"t
Kelley and Christie were apprehended at
Newark for the Mount Vernon i0t, and
while lying in Jail wrote a letter TO a no
tOrious crook at TiGiu, asking for a saw
and acids with which to make their escape,
and limiting their connection with q more
serious aft lir at Wheeling. The letter was
intercepted, and on the strength of its con-
tents officials of that city think they can
be connected with the crime. They left
tonight for Columbus to secure a rCqnisi-
ton from Governor Foraker, but Prose
cutting Attorney GOtshall wired the ExeCu-
tive not to Issue the papers until the State
had been heard"
Much Of this telegram is inaccurate, as
may be apparent to the general reader, and
q good deal is but a repetition of what has
been heretofore printed in this paper. The
telegram is especially crooked in the con-
Guiding sentence. The Chief aud Sheriff
did not 20 to Columbus for a rtquisitiOn,
as stated.
