salary to capture the daring thieves who
robbed J. Townsend Burdens house at 8
East Twenty-sixth street of nearly s6o, 900
worth of diamonds. And Mr. Burden
will give 5000 to the superintendent or
some of his men if they can only satisfy
their desires. Since the discovery of the
robbery, which occurred last Friday night.
the entire available force of detectives has
been engaged on the case. Among the
jewels stolen is a diamond necklace worth
10000. Two safes had been opened while
Burden had the proper keys thereof in his
pocket, he being away from home at the
time.
hThe house was not empty. however. for
the servants were there and the youngest
son of the family. The same night of the
Burden robbery, robbers, probably the
same gang, entered the home of Mrs.
Frances Barnes, a wealthy widow who
lives at 333 Central Park west, and stole

Mrs. Barnes offers reward Of 81, OoJ and

SCANDAL LEADS TO A TRAGEDY.
Member of the Illinois Legislature Shot 20
Death by u POstmaster.

Member of the Illinois Legislature Shot 20
DeatI, by n Postmaster.
WELDON, Dec. 30.-Dr. Taylor, a mem
Der of the Illinois legislature, was shot
and killed by John A. Pace, postmaster of
this city. The tragedy, it is said, is the
outgrowth OF domestic scandal. Az
about O'Clock in the evening shots wcre
heard at the postofficc, and Postmaster
Pace was seen running down the street
with a revolver in his hand. Meeting the
town marshal he said that he had shot Dr.
Taylor. The marshal rushed to the post
office and found Taylor lying dead III the
back room of the Office with revolver
clutched in his right hand.
Pace said he was working at his desk
when he heard the back door open and saw
DIR. Taylor; that Taylor demanded of
Pace n letter written by PAGES wife to
Pace, and also offered to give Pace 500 to
withdraw suit now pending for dam
ages for the breaking up of PAGES family
Pace ordered Taylor out of the office say
ing he wanted nothing to do with him.
Taylor then, Pace said, drew revolver
and said he would blow out PAGES brains
if he didn't give up the letter; that he had
come there to talk to him and was going
to stay.
Pace walked to the desk apparently to
get his papers. Reaching into a drawer
he secured his revolver and began to fire
Taylor fell dead near the back door of TIE
office. Pace and wife have been separated
for a year or more and he had charged DIR.
Taylor with being the cause of his trouble.
Mrs. Pace began divorce proceedings some
months ago, but the suit was withdrawn
by her. Not long ago Pace instituted pro-
ceedings in the Knights of Pythias lodge
against Taylor and began a suit for dam
ages against him. 1t was the institution
of this suit which, it is asserted, led
to the tragedy.
One coroner's jury failed to agree. A

EUROPEAN DOCTRINE NOT GOOD.

Orc That Closes the Dardanelles Straits to
Vessels of War.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3o.-The cable report
from Constantinople that the United
States denies the right of Turkey to pre-
vent the passage of war ships through the
Dardenelles brings out tie fact that this
government has constantly declined to ad-
NIT such a right, and while it has not re-
Gently had occasion to make an issue with
Turkey upon this subject ministers to
that country have been cautioned to go no
further than to recognize the exclusion as
o usage. and not as right.
President Pierce in 1854 first laid down
the doctrine that this government was de-
termined to maintain the freedom of the
seas and of the great natural channels of
navigation, and to deny the right of ma
ton to treat one of the great maritime
highways of nations as a close sea and
prevent its navigation freely. Secretary
Fish in 1871 and 1872, regarded the alb
stract right of the Turkish government to
obstruct the Dardanelies as a serious ques-
ton, and felt that a proper occasion might
in the future arise for US to dispute the ap-
plicabiiity of the claim to United States
men-of-war, but meanwhile it was deemed
expcdient to acquiesce in the exclusion.

He Would Absorb the Greenbacks Into the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30-Reprcsentativc
w. A. Smith, Of Michigan, has intro
duced in the house bill embracing a
new plan to absorb the greenbacks and
treasury notes and release in their stead
the gold held by banks as reserves. The
bill has the approval, it is said, of Senator
Sherman The principal feature of Smith,
bill is the substitution of United States
notes and treasury notes, which include
the grecnbecks and demand paper, for the
present requirement of lawful money"
for the reserves. This would withdraw
the currency which now keeps in motion
the endless chain" and release the gol d
In its stead.
Smith says that according to the last re.
port Of the comptroller Of the currency
there was in the banks, individual de-
posits, United States deposits, and deposits
Of United States disbursing officers, the
sum of sl.7l5. 1874, $50. an amount approx.
mating the reserve required. He estimates
that $3.50, 600, 600 Of treasury notes and
United States notes would be Immediately
taken up and held by tho banks under
his plan.

FREELY oNAMAMMorA SCALE.
Used by the Natives of the West Indies
an IlluminatOr.

The great firefiy-elater noctilucus-
is an inhabitant of the savannahs Of
most of the warmer parts Of America
and the West India islands. 1t is said
TO attain length of eleven and a half
inches. In the gloom of night these flies
are extremely luminous and the effect
is brilliant. The light chiefly proceeds
from four parts-namely. from two
glandulaT spots behind the eyes and
one under each wing They have the
power to cut off the light at will, in
which case the glandular spots become
perfectly Opaque. The light of this won
derful insect by itself is such that if the
creature be held in the palm of the hand
print or manuscript is as easily read as
by candle. The aboriginal natives cage
these creatures and make use of them,
it is alleged, as lanterns. Ladies adorn
themselves with this electric-like luni-
nary. II is related Of Don Domingo
Condo Of Colombia that he would APP

luminous insects surrounded it. TIE

CROWDED LONDON.
Figures Gathered by Gen. Booth of the
Salvation Army.

Mr.. Booth has checked his former
measurement Of London poverty. He
has previously inquired how the people
lived and worked by one method, Now
he tries another, and compares the re-
suits. He has divided London into
about ninety trades or groups of trades,
and he has also classified the whole
population by the number of rooms they
occupy and the number Of servants they
keep. BY this new method he has in
CURED what proportion Of London popa-
lation is crowded and mot crowded !"
Then he has compared the figures with
those which. by his former methods,
told us the percentage who were in
comfort and the percentagc who We're
in poverty" The two sets Of figures
come out with what Nfr. Both calls
startling similarity" He made out
before that nearly 81 per cent Of Lon
don people We're living in poverty. BY
his new classification he finds about SIP
per cent crowded" His 6Si3 per cent
mot crowded" compare with little
over so per cent declared in former
volumes TO be lin comfort These
similar results, however, are only OBJ
tanned when London is taken over its
whole area. Some districts. as Mr..
Booth puts it. are more crowded than
they are poor. while others are more
poor than they are crowded. But the
common measure of London wealth and
poverty is as close as we could expect
TO get. Mr.. Booth finds that four-fifths
OF our population $50 per cent? live as
SIX, seven, OF even eight in one room. A
families without servants, II per cent
only have servants. and the remainder
are inmates of institutions. OF those
without servants there are 10000 so
very poor that they are living four, FIVE.
six, seven, or even eight in one room. a
small proportion are represented as liv-
ing ten and over ten in one room: but.
happily, here Mr. Booth distrusts the
accuracy of the census enume~ators.
Nearly 100000 are living with only one
room for each person. or at most with
two rooms between three people, three
between five, or four between seven.
The upper classes are ranked with
those who have one servant or more
for fewer than four members in the
family, and Mr.. Booth Justly remarks
on their numerical insignifcance. They
number little more than $50, 600. and Of
these less than 1000 enjoy the luxury
of living in families with three or more
servants. These tests Of the condition
of the population of London, as whole.
Mr.. Booth is now applying in detail to
the various groups of trades. and so in
this way gauging the prosperity of each
and accommodating invaluable material
for the political economist. - London
