 Among the passengers that alighted last evening at the depot from the train which arrives from New York at 6:22, says this mornings Bridgeport Union, were two emigrant girls, fresh from the Emerald Isle. The older was Annie Healy, 22 years old. The younger was 15 years old, named Bridget Butler.

 Shortly after their arrival in this city, the girls, who were evidently be- wildered, stopped three young men on Fairfield avenue and asked to be di- rected to a policeman.
 "What do you want a policeman for i? asked one of the men.
 "l want to be directed to a respect. able place where we can spend the night" answered the Healey girl.
 eff you speak to a policeman he will arrest you," said the man. "You had better come with us to my sisters house in East Bridgeport, where you can get g good nights rest, and be all ready tc start for Waterbury in the morning." The older girl distrusted them and re fused to go with them, but her com panion allowed herself to be persuaded by them, and finally accompanied them Miss Healy at once reported the matter'to the police. She was unable to give any accurate description of the men.
 All the patrolmen were instructed tc keep sharp lookout for the girl, and Officer Hackett was detailed to track her and arrest the men if possible. H. spent the greater part of the night in { vain search for her. The police are o the opinion that she has been abducted.

JUDGE GRESHAM.

The Chairman Of the Indiana State
Committee Of the Peoples Party in
formed the National Committee Of that
party that he had letter from Judge
GRESHAM in which the latter declared
his intention Of taking the stamp in IA
vor OF Gen. WEAVER.
The Indiana Chairman also announced
that Judge GRESHAM would make his
opening speech at Indianapolis the lat
ter part Of this month.
These statements we're made on the au-
thority OF Chairman TAUBENECK, of the
National Committee of the Peoples
party. In the absence of the publication
of the letter very few persons be-
lieved that its contents were accu-
rately represented, or that Judge
GRESHAM would retire from his United
States judgeship in order to make
speeches In favor of General
WEAVER and a party processing
the principles set forth in the
Weaver platform. And now a denial
in toto from Judge GRESHAM comes
along. 1t is doubtless true that
Judge GRESHAM has become dissat-
isfed with the Republican party, but
it was scarcely credible that man Of
Judge GREsHAM's calibre, character,
and judicial training could seriously
think Of espousing Gen. WEAvER'S
cause.

A Page of Township ROttenness

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, August 13.-The
Journal this morning prints page OF
alleged rottenness IN towship govern
ment in Indiana, Shelby county being
the center Of the fraudulent transac-
tions. George NJ. Ray, Of Shelbyville,
the Journal says, by selling supplies for
ten times their value and by endorsing
bogus paper has profted many thous-
sands Of dollars; that $4,000 in bogus
papers has already been turned up and
much more will come TO light. The
paper says that in many townships
there are traces of rottenness, but the
bulk Of it is confined TO four townships,
Union, Washington, Liberty and Hen
bricks. The paper charges that Ray
has been guilty Of the same scheme
practlced by Pollard some years ago,
whereby the State was defrauded out OF
about $3.50, 600 and the portion OF Canada
materially increased.

FouR r1mEs A PREMrER.

The expected division In the British
House Of Commons has taken place.
The amendment to the address to the
Q1een to the effect that the House had
no confidence in Her Majesty's present
Ministers was adopted BY a majority Of
forty, and thereby the second admins
Jrati01 Of the Marquis Of Salisbury was
voted ont OF Office.
The rule that British Ministers are
made and unmade by the action Of the
House Of Commons has long prevailed In
Great Britain. Only IN recent years
have Ministries given up Office immedl-
ately after their defeat in the elections
and without waiting for a vote in the
House. Perhaps this would also have
been done after the recent elections If
the majority Of the Opposition had been
greater. But the course Of the Con-
servative Ministry in meeting the new
House and having fits own fate deter
mined By a vote Of that body is in &C
cordance with the practice Of parlia-
mentary government.
The virtual notice to quit given to
the old administration is also a call
upon the men who are the leaders Of
the majority to form a new ministry.
The new ministry now in process Of
formation will be the fourth under the
Premiership of Mr.. Gladstone. The
task Of the new administration will be
so great and difficult that it would tax
she powers Of able leaders half as Old as
the iHustrious man who, at the age Of
So. reforms to the helm Of the Govern
ment He Is still recognized as the
British statesman who is best equipped
for the responsibilities which he as
snmes and most likely to secure the
triumph Of the cause TO which he has
devoted the closing part Of his remark
able and distinguished career.

Our friend Of Richmond does himself,
not the editor of the Colrier-J0iT1idl, an IN
Justice. when he describes as sensational
a Characterization Of Lincoln, which
ascribes to God the marvels OF career.
which could have had no other origin and
impulse. III Lincoln was not inspired OF
Cod. then were not Luther, or Shakes
pesre or Burns! II Lincoln was not IN
splred OF God, then there is no such thing
on earth as special providence or the inter.
position of a divine power in the affairs OF
men.
Commenting on this, the Atlanta
Constitution takes cooler view Of our
martyr President. 1t does not believe
''that LINCOLN was any more inspired
Of God than any other well-meaning
and sensible man would have been in
his place. But LINCOLN was a great
man and will 90 to history as one whose
.iIustrious services have made his name
immortal"

Commercial Gazette this morning says
that a meeting Of the trustees of the
Lutheran Church at Norwood, village
north Of this city, on last Thursday
night the pastor Of the church, the
Rev. Paul Rhinehart, attacked the
trustees with his cane and fist. Several
OF them got black eyes and bruised
heads. The young pastor was kicked
into the street and got broken rib.
His resignation has been forced and he
himself was arrested late last night for
assault and battery. He has sworn out
warrants for the arrest Of the trustees.
The fight grew out Of quarrel Of the
proposed ceremonies for laying the cor
ner stone Of new church in Norwood.

most primitive means of transportation
it is certainly astonishing to discover
how general was the system of trade ex-
listing among the savage tribes OF North
America at the time Of the conntry's
discovery. The pipes, for which the
material was procured in the quarry pre-
viously described, were distributed by
barter from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Just as was the case with the copper Or
naments and tools got from the mines
of Isle Royale. 1t was nothing unusual
for traders TO journey all the way from
the Gulf of Mexico up the valley OF the
Mississippi to the very source Of the
Father OF Waters, exchanging goods
with the tribes on the way. Dried mol
lusks of various edible kinds were car
ried far into the interior, as well as ma
rine shells for money and ornaments, to
be disposed of in return for skins and
other goods.
FLINT QUARRIEs IN ARKANSAS.
Professor Holmes on his recent expe-
dition visited a prehistoric quarry in
Arkansas, where flint for taking into
tools and weapons was procured on so
extensive scale that in places the hills
and mountains have been actually re-
modelled by the pittings and trenchings.
From one hillside it is estimated that
upward of 10000 cubic yards Of flint
have been removed and worked. An
other locality explored, in Indian
Territory, yielded for the purposes
of the aborigines a chalky kind
of fiat, which was procured
In enormous quantities for making
large implements, such as hoes and
other agricultural tools, and also knives
that were very long, slender and thin.
1t was usual to select the pieces Of best
quality for the manufacture OF knives,
just as nowadays the finest steel is en-
ployed for cutlery. A third great
quarry In Ohio, near Newark, worked
on very extensive scale, supplied a
beautiful flint of fine grain for arrow
points and spear heads, 1t furnished
with these articles an extent Of terri
tory equal to half a dozen States, and
they are found to this day as far south
as Tennessee and as far east as New
York,
