When they saw the officers they left the train and ran who left to the woods, but wére pursued and Two others escaped from the s me train, captured. There is more or less confidence expressed among the down and found a pair of pantaloons that he bad just completed for John Kirkwood, who is under arrest. The ‘goods were stolen from a train, An- other suit he had made was for John K. Mullen, also under arrest. This suit is made out of cloth iatended for a lady's suit. It looks very fine, but the cost of making the suit was more than the cloth is worth. The man who stole it must have been a fool not to know better. The same tailor is making up a suit of the finest Eo- glish wosted ever imported. It is what ie called twenty-four ounce goods. The suit Is worth 875, The man who or- dered it has vot yet ocen arrested, and does not know that he is suspected. We will arrest him in a shor time, and antil then will not mention his name, I found that there are a pumber of men implicated in the robberies who have not been arrested. We will get them all.” —— - Moving Lincoln's Remains Seminoritip, 111, April 16.—The re- mains of President and Mrs. Lincoln wore privately taken from their rest. ing place Thursday morning and inter. red in she North vault of the Linclon movument, in Osk Ridge cemetery, near this city, Less than a dozen persons, members of the Lincoln Mooument association aad Lincoln Guard of Honor, were present.” For years the whereabouts of the remains of tha great president and his wife has been vested in mystery from anxiety that they would be stolen to obtain a bughe ransom for their return, The actual attempt to carry off their bodies in 1575 was the woving csuse of the formation of the Guard of Honor, which organisalon secreted them and surrendered the ochsrge. Great care was taken to keep the event of this morning s profound secret. At the appointed hour few besides the lit- tle knot of guards were present, The secret grave was directly under the North base of the obelisk, about thirty feet from the North entrance, but only accessible through the South door. A door on the North of the hole where the Lincoln relies are kept leads through a long dark psesage, first East and then North, then West, to a recess. Here about three feet below the sur” face of the floor, were deposited the re- mains of Abraham Lincold and his wile, The body of Mr. Lincoln was in a wal nut coffin lined with an air tight lead lining, about one-eight of an inch thick. The walnut coffin in a cedar box and the cedar box was enclosed in a Mra, similarly enclosed pine box. Lincoln's remains were Twenty-two years ago yesterday Lin coln was shot, When the guards, with the help of a few laborers, { exbum po ed the coffins and the hid of his {a dent's was removed be in a remarkable sia tion.

Wasuisaron D. C, April 14.— Secretary Whitney to-day awarded to the Bethlehem Iron Works Company, of Pennsylvania, the contracts for furnishing about 1400 tons of steel armor plates, at a total cost of $4,612 - 038,20. When the proposals were opened about three weeks ag it was found that there were bidders for sup- plying the gun steel —the Bethlehem Company, the Midvale Company and the Cembria Company, the bid of the last-named company, $851,613, being the lowest. For supplying the armor plate there were but two hidders—the Cleveland Rolling Mills Company and the Bethlehem Company, the last named being the lowest bidder at $3. 610,707. In his order making the award Secretary Whitney explains his reasons for giving both contracts to the one company in the following language : Concerning the bids for armor and gun steel 1 have concluded, after full consideration, that the Bethlehem [ron Company is entitled to the award of the contracts for both. To encour- age bidding a clause was inserted in the advertisement that “bids covering both” (that is, armor and gun steel) ¢ will receive preference, other things being equal,” The bid of the Bethle- hem Iron Company for the gun steel refers to its bid for the armor, handed in at the same date, and has the fol- lowing memorandum ; “The prices named in this proposal are based up- on the conditions stated in the adver. tisement of August 31, 1856, that bids covering both’ (gun forgings and armor plates) “will receive preference, other things being equal, and are, therefore, to be considered in conjunc sion with our bid of this date for gun forgings.” A similar memorandum is contained in its bid for armor-plates. The Bethlehem Iron Company is the only bidder for the whole contract The theory of the advertisement was that the Government wanted the lowest price for the whole work (pay- ing more or less for one or the other being immaterial, so long as the entire job was obisined at the lowest total price), the total sum for the whole job being the material thing. With this view the advertisement was framed #0 8s to obtain the largest range of bidding, allowing a person to bid for either, or for both; the total sum which the whole should cost the Gov ernment being the matter alone to be considered. The two lowest separate bids for the two classes, being that of the Cambria Iron Company for the gun steel, and that of Cleveland Roll ing Mill Company for the armor plate, amount to $4873,07890. That of the Bethlehem Iron Company for the sawe classes amounts to $4,412,038.29 It is the lowest bidder for the work by the sum of $360,135.81. ce the bidding has taken thilaoh iit wll ¢ IE prices on the gun ke that company the low. jer fur each of the separate [his may be done under the it it af | did not consider it, on award. — A — Mingle's shoe store —— A AOO—— The Victoria's Wreck lLoxpox, April 14.—Further par- i Newhaven and Dieppe packet Vie | toria show that the vessel struck the through a downward list of the boat, was buoyed up by deep water on that gide of the rocks. A then ensued while endeavors were be. ing made to float the life-boats, which were seriously interfered with by the strong swell of thesea. At last, when & boat was ready to be lowered, and fifteen men and women embarked in lit, a lady's shawl becar ¢ entangled in a pully or the stern davit and caused the boat to descend to the sea bow foremost. Most of the occupants were thrown out aod drowned. Two ladies jumped from the deck of the steamer into the boat after it reached the water, and overturned it. Other boats were then safely lsunched and succeeded in reaching Fecamp, rescu. ing on the way with boat hocks two persons who had been swept out to sea, Mme. Bram Stoker was among those saved, The Paris Figaro says a terrible responsibility rests upon the keepers of the Cape Aidy light-house, who only sounded the fog-horn after hear- ing the crash made by the steamer as she struck the rocks. The esp: tain of the Victoria maintained great coolness and guaran teed the safety of all on board if they would but obey his orders.

The first genuine cyclone ever witnessed in | this immediate vacinity was expe i- (enced this afternoon and wrought de- { vastation over 4 section of country ex. tending from Bt Clairsville, Ohio, ten miles west to a point as far east as this city, Little damage was done here, the high hill on both sides of the riv- er sheltering the houses, bat the com- motion in the upper air was voticed and a few roofs were damaged. Hous. es were demolished, trees soaped off like pipe stems, horses and cattle pros- trated and carried hundreds of yard by the gale, and the sky was darken- ed by tone clonds of fiying debris. The storm and its effects showed all the distinguished characteristics of the western cyclone. No casualties to persons are. reported, the funnel «hap ed cloud having veen seen approach. ing in tima for the famlies to take ref« uge in cellars. The loss at Bt. Clairs- ville will reach $20,000, At Martin's Ferry seventy-five to oue hundred houses were more or Ices damaged and the loss will reach $165 000. At Walout Grove, James Rail” y's house snd saleon ‘were blown down and Mrs. Rielly was pulled va. conscious, from the radios and may die’ The storm siruck the town with- out warning, aod it is wonderful that more injury persons was net dove. Be- sides Mrs. Reilly the only casualties reported are : James Reily, her bus band, both legs broken boken, Mrs. Wilhelm, collar bone broken; Mark Davis, of Martin's Ferry stone works, probably fatslly injured. A German lady, whose name could not be learned, was dangerously injored. When the storm struck the river the water shot up a perpendicular wall about twen- ty feet, then fell back in frothy seeth- ing foam, sod simultaneously a show- er of fence boards, shingles, posts and timber, with some large sections of houses, fell in sheets on the turbulent waters. The river for miles is full of wreckage. Fairview schoolhouse, one mils west, was totally wrecked, and Miss White, the school teacher, badly hurt, Every few minuits news comes of additional damage in the county, and it issafe to say the aggregate loss will exceed a million of dollars. - co] — —Mingle's shoe store Wm.
