rived from Missouri, where he had been
stumping, and spoke in Brooklyn. Senator
Hill, after a few days spent in New York

he had an even chance of election, but the
betting is in favor of Mr.. Morton. Reports
the campaign. Searcey, one of the sus-
pected Aqua creek train robbers, confessed
and piloted the detectives TO where the
stolen booty had been hid. An equestrian
statue of Gen. Geo. b. Mcclellan was un-
yelled at Philadelphia. A number of 'sblind
pooF' stock specializing concerns at Pitts
burg suspended, and many persons bewatled
the loss of their investments. The steamer
1vanhoe from Seattle was given up for lost.
A crank called at the house, where the
President was staying in New York on his
way back from Gray Gables and tried to
see him. DIR. Helmbold. who made a for
tune out of patent medicine, died in an
insane asylum. Four children of Rev. Ross
Taylor lost their lives in the burning of
their home at Nyack, n. Y. Eleven men
