THE DAILY EVENIKG TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, AUGUST 24, 18G8. CRIME. Slobbery Im ! Vntinry Department t Waahlatctoa. The Washington xprtt ot Saturday last 8bt: Hon. II. R. Hnlburd, Comptroller of the Cur rency, has lurnisued our reporter with the fuels of the case, which are as follows: On the 13fh day ot September, 1864. a $20 note Of the First National Bank of Peru, Illinois, was 'missed" from the Comptroller' office; also, seven $20 notes of other Western national banks. During 1805 fcveral $20 and $r0 notes ot na tional banks of New York and Massachusetts Here misted. In 18C6 a large number c notes of the came denomination were missed. In January. lHf7, $4500 worth of notes of the Na tion nl City Hunk, Ljnn, Mass., were missed; nlo a package of notes of different denominations, amounting to $12,000, of tho First National Jiank, Jeisey City. Comptroller Hulhurd, with the detectives, had lone been on the watch for the thief or thieves. They finally ta-ttened on the chic! messenger, a colored man namel J. H. A. Scbureman, as the thief, atid at once arrested him. lie had been employed in the Comptroller's office from 1861, sua was considered truetwortnv In every pense. lie was pnu J, pompous and dignified; was held In much esteem by his fellow negroes on the out-lde. lie kept itnd (still kepps a grocery store on Capitol Hill, No. 67, A street north, Called "The Excelsior." When arrested he was indignant; he was In jured beyond measure; he would be vindicated, so he would: and be was for the Grand Jury of the Criminal Court of this District in February, 1867, indicted him. It appears that the accused was entruste 1 with packages and bundles of notes, designed lor tho national banks in lact, he was entrusted with an; and all valuables abiut the ollioe. The dh ion al bank notes which he is charged witti Btealing were all cenulne, of course, save and except that they had not received tbe stguatures of tbe president uud cisbier of the bank for which they wore intended. These eUuat'ircs Bchurcman is chaiged lu the indictment with loreinpr. The sta'ement that the barks are the losers Is Incorrect. They lose notuing, the notes not having reached them bctore they were stolon and the bank officers' names certified upon them. The Government loses the entire amount $17,500. Since the accused has been dischareed from the Comptroller's office (May 1st, 1867) there has not been a note los' or missed. Jealousy d Murdtr. The Washington (Iowa) Press, of Friday last, Bays: John McNally, of Peru, 111., an Irishman about 50 years old, came to this place last Patuiday, on a stianerc mission. He has, It seems, held a grudge for nineteen jears against 1 horn as King, an Irishman of about tbe same age, who lives in Franklin township. In former years they worked together in Chirago and various places in Illinois, and once on a time JlcNally was bragging on his wife, extolling her good looks, virtues, etc., when King said, in a random, dare-devil way, "You needn't think you have had all the fun," ending with arcmark which McNally construed as a confession ot im proper intimacy witn his tMcNally's) wife. The grcen-eje monster in McNally was instantly aroused, but its suggestions were for a time etilled by the protestations of innocence made by his wife and by King. Meantime the latter came here, leaving a married brother and McNally living in Peru. McNally's mind lias been the prey ot an evil genius ever since. At times, be says, it would get under his bed and throw him upon the floor, and even lift tbe bedding lrom the bed stead ! He dreamed four nishts running that the parties were guilty. Six children have been born unto him since, but all died, and King's eyesight has nearly failed; these calami, tics McNally construed ai judgments of heaven on tbe sin of his wife and King, and were fuel to the flame of his jealolisy. A tew days ago this monomaniac asked bis wile to lay her hand on a Catholic Hible and swear as to her innocence. Ebe made oath that she was guiltless. He told her he was eoinir to see Tom King, and if he could not settle the matter with him satisfacto rily, be would kill King and come back and kill her; that she might as well have her coffin ready, etc. lie bought a new suit of clothe of the tailor brother of King in Peru, and put the Bib'e aforesaid in a satchel and started. He found theie Mrs. lom King and one or two chil dren, and also Mrs. King, ot Peru. Alter eating and drinking f reely together In the saloons, they started about 6 o'clock for Tom King's home. Arrived there, Mr.. Ktug called her nearly blind husband, paying. "John McNally is here, come out and tee hiin." He came to the gate and extended bis hand with a pleasant salutation, but McNally would not take it. He said: "l came here to tettle that old grudge." "Why, I thought we settled that nineteen years ago," replied Tom. McNally produced the Bible and said, "My wile swore on this book that she was a virtuous woman, and now I want you to swear on it too." King took it aud told him to come into the house. Laying the Bible down, with his hand on it, he niede oath that McNaily's wile was a virtuous woman so far as he knew. "No, not that way," said McNally, "I want you to swear that you never bad intercourse with her " King said he would swear to that, and just as he watt about to do it McNally stabbed hitn in tbe bowels, and started for town as fast as his legs could carry a man who was the worse for liquor. JUDGE LYNCH. A IIIgbwjrma Captured aatd Iluug to a. I'm. The Ironton (Ohio) Journal of Friday last eay6: Karly last Saturday morning Mr. K. B. Grabn, the paymaster of tbe Kentucky Im provement Company, went from Hunnewetl over to Pennsylvania Furnace with a large sum of money to pay off the bauds. Atter disbursing all but $1200 to $1500 he started on his return. About 11 o'clock, when about half way back, on wbat is called Pea Kidge, a thickly wooded place, he heard the report of a rifle, but sup posing it to be some one bunting paid no attention to it. A short distance further on be met an old man with a rifle on bis shoulder, and a young man with a heavy cane, limping along towards him. They stepped to the opposite sides of the road, andwbeu passing the old man suddenly seized his hor-e's reins, and ' the other dealt Mr. Grahn a heavy blow with his r a ue on the bead, knocking bim from his horse. The blow was followed up with others until he was almost senseless. Two or three other desperadoes then made their appearance, and taking the saddle pockets containing the money, all disappeared in the woods. Mr. Grabn soon recovered sufficiently to reajh Hun newell, where the alarm wai given, and parties started in pursuit of the robbers. Ho knew most of them. A young man named James Spradling was arrested and strung up to a limb of a tree until he confessed the whole affair. His father, John Spradling, was at once arrested, and the two placed in tail. Two others, Nicholas and fepradling, the ringleaders, were pursued to their house, which was reached in the night time, but they managed to escape in tbe darkness, and at last accounts were closely pursued. On Sunday night three more of the gane named White. Murdock, and Knren, were arrested back of Coal lirovo, on this nae ot the river, and are now sale m ureenup jau. METEORIC. Fall of IttrntiktbU Aerolite Im Wen The Cincinnati Commercial says: "Last Tuesday a remarkable aerolite fell in Cheatham county. Tennessee, nineteen miles from Nashville. About 1 o'clock in the after noon some men at work on the plantation of iothua r uigham noticed a singular opening in tbe clouds, behind which the sun was bidden. A urimaiit whitish red glare ove-spread au im niense mat's of black clouds, on the centre of whlcn appeared a funnel-Hire anerture about four or five feet in diameter, the sides oi wuicu presenter me appearance of rag ced flames darting like lk-ry tongues at a large white object passing with Inconceivable rapidity down throuuh the aper ture. When it left the mass of cloud it did not tppearto fall in a peii'ei'.diciilar direction, but degrees from a plumb line, and grew more In tensely bright a it approached the earth. The men were about four hundred yards from the place where tbe object tell, ani on going to tho f pot, found that it bad struck upon a flat ledge of rocks, in a wagon way leading from a larm house to tbe public road. The fragments of stone were thrown around for several rods In all directions. The leJge, which Is said to be three feet thick, without any setms, was dis turbed for a distance of about fifty feet, split and toin up In fragments. Tbe soil, which was spread in thin layers all over It, looked as if passed tbrouuh a sieve. At the point where the strange body came In contact with the rock thare appeared to be no stone at all, but a very fine, white, fl ury sort of pafite, which was quite hot, and a steam ascended out of the bole in which it bad buried Itself, which was too hot to approach. Arrangements are being made to quarry out wbat remains of tbe aerolite. Another singular phenomenon nal noticed In Nashville on Sunday, soon after raid night being a meteoric shower, consisting, apparently, of brilliant specks or drops of light, of various colors, like too "tail" of a rocket, filling a large space in the northern heavcus, and lighting the streets as brightly as da j light for some thirty second. anchorites" Am Old Clergyman aatf his Daughter lava as IJUrralta tor Twdri Yenra, Tbe Chicago Post of Siturday last says: Tho little bamlet of Turner Junetton, about thirty miles from Chicago, at the intersection of the C, B. & Q., tbe Freeport aud Pact tic lir Line, is worked up at p'esent with a tirst-class sensa tion. Tbe story is as follows. The reader may make allowances for pos-dole exaggerations: An old man named it. A. Watkins, a Congre gational c'ergyniMU, and his daughter Elizaouth are tbe subiecis. it is said that for twelve years past tbey have lived in en 'Ire seclusion on a farm not quite a mile from the Junction, their sole diet consisting of corn bread. The old gentlemau is well educated, having graduated at Miudiebury College at twentv-tive. For many years be preached in Vermont, re moving to tbis Stale in 1855 with bis wite and daughter, and bujing the farm now occupied by them. For over a year the family mingled witn the villagers, the clergyman often preaching in tbe villMge, while his accomplished daughter, then about sixteen years old, played the melo deon. The old roan's wife then died, and from that time his whole life was changed, lie was seldom seeu about the village, and his daughter never. He came occasionally to town to obtain sugar, tea, and alcohol, in exchange for butter and eggs. Ooce only he bought a shirt. He always appeared dirty, and wore a heavy shawl about his head at all seasons. For some years no special notice was taken of tais stiange conduct, until finally about two jears aso, the people became "worked up" about the matter, aud a committee was ap pointed to investigate. They gained access to the house with some little difficulty and found the rooms in a filthy state, occupied by cats and bene, in the same apartment with tbe human occupants. The daughter rebuked them for iuterlering, when they remonstrated on the course ot Hie the couple were pursuing, and then retired. While this life contiuued the larm was indebted to various parties, who were not allowed to approach the house, nor was any one else. About a fortnight ago, a lad, in passing the house, was called by the old man end told that they were sick aud needed aid. He alarmed the vilage,and many of the citizens and a physician went to tueir aid. The old man was found to be one mass ot sores and filth, and was lying on a lounge covered with vermin; on a most filthy bed lay the daughter. Tbe cats twenty-five in number, by count, were thrown out, and the hens made to follow. Tbe people were taken to a smaller and cleaner room, and an able-oodied force at once set to work cleaning up the house. All the clothing was burned. Tbe old man's clothes were re moved and his body found to be discolored and covered with filth and running sores. The daughter was in a less horriole condition, but her body was discolored in places, and had not been washed, she said, for six years. Her under clothing bad been constantly worn for lour months. Tbe old man is nearly seventy, tbe daughter perhaps twenty-eight. The former is so reduced that be will scarcely live a month. The daughter it is thought possible to save with proper medical care. She is accomplished and educated, and would still be an ornament to society. The man is a profound mathematician, and his mind runs strongly to figures and calcu lations. BUSINESS NOTICES.

SMITH, RANDOLPH & CO., No. 10 South THIRD Street, Till PHILADELPHIA, 750 MILES OF TBE UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD Are how finished and In operation Althongh this road Is built with great rapidity, the work lithor ougbly done, and Is pronounced by the United States Commissioners to be first-class In erery respect, be fore it Is accepted, and before any bonds can be Issued npon It. Bapldliy and excellence of construction have been sernred by complete division of labor and by dls irlbailng the twenty thousand men employed along tbe line lor long distances al once. It Is now probable that the WHOLE USE TO THE PACIFIC WILL BE COMPLETED LS I860. Tbe Cenopitiy have ample means of which the Gov. ernment grants the right of way, aud all necessary timber and other materials found along the line of Its operation: also 12.8U0 acres of land to tne mile, tacen In alternate sections on each side of Its roaa; also United States Thirty-year Bunds, amounting to from tl8,(K0tot4S,0u0permlle. according to the dilUcaittea to be surmounied on Ibe various sections to be built. for which it takes a second mortgage as security, aaj It Is exptcted that not only the Interest, but tbe prin cipal an. ount may be paid In services rendered by the Company In transporting troops, malls, etc. THE EARNINGS OF" THE CNIOS PACIFIC RAILBOAD, from Its Way or Local Business only, dating the year ending June 30, 186S, amounted to over FOUR MILLION DOLLARS. Which alter paying all expenses was much more than sufficient to pay tbe Interest upan Its Bonds. Tbece earnings are no Indication of the vast through trelllu that must lollow the opening of the line to vhe Paclllc, but they certainly prove that FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS Upon such a property, costing nearly three limes their amount, ARE ENTIRELY SECURE. The Union Pacific Bonds run thirty years, are for flOOO each, and have coupons attached. Tbey bear annual Interest, payable on the first days of January and Jnly, at tbe Company 'j office In the City of New York, at the rate of six per cent. In gold. The princi pal Is payable lu gold at mtulty. The price is IOA and at tbe present rate ot gold, they pay a liberal iueome on their cost. A very Important consideration In determining the value of these bonds Is the length of time Uiey have to run. It Is well known that a loogbond always commands a much higher price than a short one. It Is safe to assume that during the next thirty years, tte rate ot Interest In tbe United btates will decline as It has done In Europe, and we have a right to expect that such six per cent, securities as these will be held at as high a premium as these of this Government, which, In 18W were bought la at from 20 to 2 per cent, above par. Tbe export demand alone may produce this re sult, and as the Issue ol a private corporation, they are beyond the reacn ot political action. The Company believe that their Bonds, at the pre sent rate, are the cheapest secuilty In tbe market, and tbe right to advance the price at any time Is reserved.

Parliamentary papen haye been brought before the Iiouse which em.' brace brief reports of the delegates. All the papers were prepared lu Foglund, and ure -the legal opinions of Sir Houndell Palmer aud Vernon Ilarcourt. The lnUer differ. widely from Mr. Wilkin's ccnstitutionttl arguments t tbe delegates. He answers the s'x questions in substance as follows: Firs, There is no limit to the powers of the Imperial legislature over a colony like Nova Scotia. Becoud, The authority of the Imperial legis lature, being ab-olute. cauuotin anv Lr-enl snae b dependent on the consent of tbe colnuv. mini, mm preamutcor ine uniou Act Is lm- portant as evidence that the Imperial legislature did not intend to exercise extremo powers, bat acted on the supposed consent of the colony. ii tne j act oi sucn concm oe disproved tuat may atlord valid argument for repeal, but cannot affect the leeal validity of the statute. n'U . . i . i .i ...... . 1UD 1UUIIU 4IK-5HUU I iu IU8 DIIU, HUd 1110 same answer aoplies. The resolution ot the Nova Scotia Leais-Utiire in 18UG authorized th delegates to negotiate a union of all toe pro vinces, but gave them no right to arrange a. scheme, leaving out Newfoundland and Prinio Edward's Island. Tbis defect would be cured by the subsequent ratification of tho delegates' acis by the LesiMature. . Sixth. The perpetual acts by the Legislature did cot assume to extinguish the Constitution of Nova Scotia or impose a new form ol-government without consent. To do so would . be an extreme exercise ot power. FROM WASHINGTON. Humor About th (Jollyar. Ed wards Prix Fig lit. Special Despatch to The Evening Telegraph. Washington, Aug. 24.
