Philadelphia, June 9, 1879.
Hot Springs has a counterpart of
the Beecher-Tllton case. The Rev.
Henry Butler, a negro, is the accused
clergyman, and the woman, after
making a written confession to her
husband, denied Us truth. There is to
be a church trial.
An earthen bowl, filled with rice
and fish, with four lighted candles
stuck Into It, and the whole sur
mounted by a calf's head, was found
on the stoop of a New Orleans house.
Somebody had undertaken to put the
inmates under a voudoo spell.
-James Murphy betrayed his pals
In a Texas stage robbery three months
ago. Apprehending revenge, he after
ward voluntarily slept In jail, and
went heavily armed by day; but his
precautions were not sufficient, and he
has been killed with poison.
The safe In the Arlington mill at
Lawrence, Mass., was opened In the
night, three months ago, and $4,5000
stolen. Paymaster Walnwright was
suspected, although he was President
of a Young Men's Christian Associa
tion, and he was compelled to resign
his position. The real thieves have
just been detected.
A lady of Augusta, Ga.t died not
long ago and bequeathed $05,000 to
charitable Institutions. The natural
heirs feel positive that they are more
In need of money than the institutions
named, so having been defeated in the
lower courts will carry the case on
until doubtless they will have spent
more than the original amount In
gaining the case.
Fort Robinson, June 11. The daily
passenger coach of the Sidney and
Black Hills company, which left Sid
ney on Monday morning for Dead
wood, was spopped a few miles north
of Cheyenne river on Tuesday at mid
night by five masked robbers. The
passengers, four in number, were
robbed of their money and valuables
and the mail sacks were cut open and
their contents thrown on the road, the
robbers taking the registered packuges.
Having made a successful clean-up,
the robbers allowed the coach to pro
ceed on Its northern journey.
Allen's barn was burned at Pono
ra, O., and it was believed that Min
nlch and Willis kindled the fire.
Allen and some of his friends dug a
grave, carried the suspected men to it,
made them kneel at the side of the
hole, held guns to their heads, and
commanded them to confess. How
ever, this treatment did not extort a
confession, and Allen was srbsequeutly
fined $100 for outrage. A few Dayton
boys, having heard of the Sonora
affair, took even more cruel measures
to make a playfellow confess some
trifling offence. They held his bare
feet close to a flame until the soles were
badly burned.
There is a story that a wealthy
Chicago mefchant lately prevented the
breaking of his will by calling his rela
tives about his death-bed and getting
them to make affidavit before a notary
that he was competent to make a will.
After the funeral it was found that all
the property was given to a lunatio
asylum. Then the heirs tried to have
the will set aside by showing that
though sane at the last, in 1875 when
the will was made he was raving mad.
Thereupon the executor produced a
will exactly like the first, except that
it was signed and witnessed a few
minutes before the affidavits as to the
testator's sanity was taken.
Norman Spencer stole $17,600 from
the Pennsylvania Oil Company, that
employed him as book-keeper, and fled
to the Southwest. The robbery was
carefully planned, and the thief's in
tention was to take a new name, settle
down as a planter, and marry the Ti
tusville girl to whom he had long been
engaged. She knew all about this
scheme, and was to join him as soon
as practicable. A detective was set to
watch her, and when she started west
ward, after receiving a mysterious let
ter, he guessed she meant to join her
lover. He shadowed her on the jour
ney so closely that she became aware
of his watching. At Quincy, 111., she
hired a woman of about her own size
and shape to put on her traveling suit,
cover her face with a veil, and go to
Chicago. The detective unsuspect
ingly followed the wrong woman,
while the real one went on to meet the
fugitive thief. Meanwhile Spencer
bad bought a plantation near Galves
ton, Texas, an fallen in love with
a neighbor's beautiful daughter. De
siring to marry her, he wrote to the
. TitUHville girl at a point on her jour
ney that she need not come to him.
The Tltusvilte girl was as quick a
revenge as she bad been at deceiving
the detective. She at one informed
the police where Spencer was, and he
b been arrested.
The Oil ArrlTC.
From the 'Wllllnmftport O. nnd ?.
At last oil is flowing from the Brad
ford district to WllllariiHport. As be
fore stated ; in these .columns, the
pumps of the Tidewater pump com
pany begnn pumping oil Into their
line on Wednesday of lost Week.
Thursday evening, nt 7:10 and a few
seconds, the first oil came out of the
pipes at this end of the lino, and
flowed Into tho receiving tnnk on
Thomas hill. The time required for
It to traverso the. hundred miles of
pipe was a little longer than had been
counted upon, but biking everything
into consideration, there Was no cause
for dissatisfaction over the result. The
number present to see the first oil
arrive was not as great as would nat
uraily have been expected, although
the uncertainty as to the precise lime
when it would appear may partly ac
count for this. Those present Includ
ing officers and employes of tho com
pany at this end of the line, producers
and others. Intense excitement ex
isted among those near the tank, when
the first oil gushed out of the six inch
pipe and Into the tank. Many bottles
were filled from the first oil secured.
One of these bottles were left ut the
Gazette and Bulletin office yester
day evening by Mr. H. F. Northrup.
Numerous dispatches were sent away
lust night, to the oil region and else
where, announcing that the oil had
reached Williamsport.
Theoilcameout of the pipe in strong
volume, and has been coming right
along at the rate of two hundred and
fifty barrels per hour. Those who
would not put any faith in the pipe
line until oil should begin flowing into
Williamsport, are now converted, and
are ready to rejoice with the rest. The
tanks will fill up, of course, at the rate
of 6,000 barrels per day, but as ship
ping to the seaboard will commence
by Saturday a large number of cars
being now in the city ready to load
the stock lu the tuuks will be thus
kept down. The tankage capacity
as is already known, is about 60,000
barrels. At pump station No. '2 there is
tankage-for 2,400 barrels, while Cory
vllle, the starting point of the line, the
tankage is sufficient for 51,100 hnrrels.
The line is working admirable It
is a matter of surprise to everyone,
when the size of the pipe and the dis
tance are considered, that so little in
the way of defects has been found.
The work of putting down the pipe
has been very thoroughly done, the
great pressure to which the line is
subjected not appearing to afTect it in
the least. The pressure varies nt dif
ferent points along the line. The
greatest, when pumping is in progress,
is at Pine creek near Waterville. At
this point the oil falls a distance of 1,
520 feet, and then rises a distance of
1,100 feet. When tho pumps are still
the greatest pressure is ut tho Wil
liamsport end of the line. The lowest
point on the route is at Lycoming
creek, less than three miles from the
terminus.
It is now announced upon pretty
good authority, thut the total expense
of the enterprise has been at least
$750,000. There are other miscellan
eous amounts not included in this
sum. The expenses, at the seaboard
end of the line, in fitting up the re
ceiving and shipping grounds, were at
least $18,000.
Mr. Charles Foster, Republican
candidate for Governor of Ohio, in a
Speech at Columbus, O., recently, thus
defined his position on the currency:
" On the question of finance the Re
publican party occupies high ground.
It lias stood from the beginningfor na
tional honor, for national faith, and
for national credit. Itstands there to
day. During the dark days of our
bloody Rebellion, when the life of the
nation was imperilled, we had to use
the credit of this notion to save its life.
We pledged ourselves then that when
the war was over we would redeem
the greenbacks. For fifteen long
years we have been struggling to re
deem that pledge. We have had to
fight for the fulfillment of this pledge
against the force of the Democratic
party North anil South. A nd than k God
to-day through the courage of an Ohio
man and the faithfulness of the Re
publican party that pledge is redeemed,
and the greenback dollar is worth a
hundred cents in every pocket of the
country. The ploughholder and the
bondholder have a currency of equal
value. Now, fellow citizens, we Re
publicans propose to stand there; we
propose to maintain this national
credit against all opposers, whether
they be Ewing men or Greenbackers,
or what not. We propose to stand by
the national faith and the national
honor."
Collector Beard of Boston, in an
address at the dinner of the Ancient
and Honorable Artillery Company in
that city, said:
"There is no danger of the one man
power in our national government,
limited as it is by the Constitution.
The prophecy of the man on horse
back, foretoldnot long ago and recently
rehearsed in an oration in honor of the
prophet, will not be fulfilled in our
day nor in our children's day. The
tendency is for the legislative to en
croach on the executive in all govern
ments, and it takes firmness for a state
or national executive to muintuin the
just rights of his office. The people
like the man who, like Jackson, 'takes
the responsibility,' and a conscientious
Judicious and firm exercise of the veto
power In the interest of the people will
le sustained by the people. Nor have
we any danger from the centralization
of power in the national government.
The limits of the Constitution, the
compact organization of the state gov
ernments, component elements of
Congress itself, the vast extent of ter
ritory, all preclude the dtingtr of an
undue exercise of power by thejia
tioual government as against the
states. The danger Is far greater that
Individual rights will sutler within the
states because of the weakness of the
national trovernment than that the
rights of states will be encroached
upon."
A boy in Crawford county, Ind.,

of the two children.
