BRUTAL MURDER AT WOODVILLE, PA.
A' Woman Spot and Idstantly Ruled
A Boarding House the Scene of a Fearful
Tragedy.
The Escape and Pursuit of the
Murderer.
• -
A Pittsburgh paver of yesterday contains the
following: •
A fearful tragedy. in 'which an innocent
woman wassnatched from . earth by the hand
'of an assassin, wax enacted 'at WootiVi Ile, a
small hamlet or village 4boutlbrce•miles west
of Mareitield, Pa., and nearly, on aline of the
Pittsburgh, Climinnati and St. Louis Rail
way, between three and four o'clock yester
day afternodn,the victim being Mrs: Margaret
Tobin..
The Murder. ' • ' -
The first news of the murder reached the
city about lialf•past 'seven o'clock last even.:
ing, through a,brother of the deceased;Charle.s
31rearty. 31r. McCarty stated that he- wras
working a short distance from the house.
sister was washing and dressing one of the.
-children, as he believed, and the little one be
- coming troublesotne, she gave it a Btiv : ere
"spanking!' Just then the brother heard one
shot, then another inside the house,and hasten
ing to the spot, he }vas horrified, at seeing the
form of his sister lying upon the goer. of the
down stair roots, the blood streaming from a
wound in hor breast, and also one in her right
arm. Site died alntost immediately, .never
speaking a word. The murderer hatiescaped.
No one appeared to have. been in the house at
the tittle of the sad occurrence. but it seems
that the murderer, Thomas Reardon, gave as
a reason to 80111 e one he saw after the shoot
ing, " that Mrs. Tobin had refused to let the
little child look out Of a window, and had
ulled it down and s naked ' •
nau come Gown from at up-stairs apartment
and shot her."
There were two wounds on the person of
the deceased, one In 'the fleshy part of the
right arm and the other .through the heart.
Jl rs.,,Tobin was_between thirty-five and
thirty-six years of age ; was ts,th. in Ireland;
and had been married-aboutrighteen years- -

A FRENCH TRAGEDY.
Another Dreadful Murder In Pails.
PAins, March borribM murder was
committed on Sunday night in the Rue Arne
*. A carpenter named Maillot, who,oceupies
aknall apartment on the fifth door of tilt. house
..No. 34 his, received the evening before last the
following letter:
"
!t rtcnd : I murdered my wife at three
o'clock this morning, after a dispute about her
lbaster, M. Humbert. Be remains responsible'
for our child. Be is the cause of our misfor
tune. When you receive this letter. I shall, be
dead. FBA
This note bore the post-mark of Montreuil,
near Paris. The writer lived on the same
door as Maillot, who at once gave notice to
the Commissary of Police, and the doer . of
Praise's rooms having been forced open, a
frightful spectaCle presented itself. The
WG/11813 was lying on the bed with . the head
'nearly severed, and the,body mangled in au
indescribable manner. The sight was so
shocking that a medical man who, was sent for
fainted away on entering the apartment. A
razor with which the crime had been com
mitted was found In the' room and had
been carefully wiped, and the, bkiod had been
partially washed from' the floor, no doubt to
prevent it from penetrating to the floor
beneath. The woumu- had evidently been
murdered in her sleep, and the man must have
remained with the body for about four'hours
after the - deed— Praise was employed as
porter on the Lyons Railway, and was thirty
years of age ; his wife why a year younger,
and they had one child, a girl of eight, at pre
sent ill in a hospital. The woman before her
marriage had been in the service - of M.
H imbed. and had remained on friendly terms
with her former employers ; on the afternoon
of the day in question she had been
attending on Mdine. Humbert, who was ill.
The husband and wife had dined with thei
neighbor .M.ltiaillot in the evening, and had
retired at midnight, each in apparent good
humor. Fraise was generally considered to
be kind to his wife, but was from time to time
somewhat irregular in his conduct, and would
leave his work and his home for a day or two.
This had ,occurred last Week, and he had slept
out on the nights of. Thursday and Friday.
According to Lis letter, jealousy of M. Hum
bert would appear to be the motive for the
crime. :No traces of Lim have yet been obi;
tamed.

BIITCHEWS MEAT.
,Why Don't It Come DosVn?
A New York paper asks :
Why is it that the price of butcher's meat
has nut fallen ? Gold has gone down ; , the
prices of sugar, Hour, cotton, and all the chief
necessaries of life have also fallen; rents aro
sensibly declining ; and yet Meat remains as
high as it was during the darkest period of the
war. The same thing was observed iu the
London market after the cattle-plague.. The
prices which the butchers had been able to
demand during the scarcity of live-stock re
mained unchanged long after the panic had
subsided and the plague entirely disappeared.
It would be interesting to knoir by what pecu
liar process butchers manage to evade the
effect which the fall of gold produces upon
the prices of all other commodities except the
necessary oue of meat.
THE CARDIFF GIANT'
. True. History, of the Fraud.
The'full history of the Cardiff giant has been
revealed at last, by Mr. 11. B. Mortin, of Mar
slialtown, in the State of lowa. This estimable
:/111t1 ingeniinis gentleman, believing himself
wronged by the partners in whom be trusted,
has made a clean breast Of it. According to
his cenfession, he "got up that giant," and,
in part with 011(.) George Hull, bought
a quarry of gypsum in lowa, from width the
material of the statue was obtained. With
much diflicultytheBP3llt3 was conveyed to Chi
cago, and there chiseled into shape by a sculp
, , tor named Saley. Then if was sent to Cardiff,
in that famous iron-bound box, and buried on
Isiewell's farm—Broome 'county being, as Hull
remarked, "a great place forrelies.": Newell
had a one.tburtia interest it; and various
other persons were adinitted to partnership in
the CD terpri s e though it does not appear' that
anybody but Newell and Neill got mach except
protested -notes. Mr: Merlin's statement
1m tolerably circumstantial and coherent,
•
and seems to • be accepted by those
who : have ' heard it; although such
is the depravity of human nature tbat we'
dare Say a great many hesitatd ' to
take his word as evidence. We ourselves are
rather more interested in Mr. North:Vs story
Of what he purposed doing than what be
actually did. ItecOgnizing, the' fondnem of
the public for being humbugged, he felt
that his stone petrifaction, properly man-
aged. was • equivalent'td a fortune; and
"if Hull hadn't made a d—d foul of hiinself,"
he remarked, " . should have had, the 'mother
of the Giant dug up near the same spat."
This pleasing • old ' lady, was to'
,have,
been ' represented - in the deadly , ern
brace of a Inge serpent. _She was to have
been built of iron, bone and plaSter of :Paris i
and we have no donhtlhat her celebrated son
would have been a very insignificant giant in
deed by the side of hex. The behavior of the
miserable Hull, irr making a dLzd fool of him-
Self, is therefore to be deeply regretted; but
we may console ourselves with Mr. Mortin's
prediction that in less than two years he will
humbug the American people with sonic
colossal fraud in comparison with wide) , *6
wiii,ua flinging nut wooden nut
megs. We shall await the next two , years
With pleasing anticipations.
This confession of the gentleman who ".2gpt
pp" the - Giant will perhaps draw forth a few
remarks from the gentlemen who gave It
various Scientific recomMendationS. 'W
-e, of
course", understand that the eminent -PrOfes-
Sors r geologists, antiquaries, and authorities
on art and anatomy who vouched for the
authenticity - of the, statue,-are..." not up,
to small deceit 'or , any sinfulgames ;'"
~ b ut . should*" like to hear from the
ititelliaent savants who declared, some
that; it was a real petrifaction, some that
it had evidently been in the earth at least 200
Years, some that, it was "stamped with the
marks of ages, 3 / 'one that "only the-ancient; -
Greek school of art was capable of such a per
fect reproduction of . the human. form," and
one-that Italy possOsed nothing which em
bodied so perfectly '"tile intellectual and
physical power-of a rock-hurling Titan."--

BOMB AND FRANCE.
Cardinal Antonellt's Reply to French
Counseht.
The 'tome correspondent of the Pall ifall
Gazette, writing under date of Feb. 25, states
that the notasent by Cardinal AntonellL to
Monsignor Chigi, at, Paris,' by 'Prince,
ghere,..replies to, the counsels of M. 011ivier
and Count Darn by . representitig the motives
whiclrprompted the Pope to with,' 2.. w
abolish, in his mots proprio of Gaeta. th e
reforms which he promulgated
..1.;,.in0 in
1847'48, His Eminence adds. hat his whole ex
perience forbi chithe Pope to return tO the policy
which he pursued in the first years of his
reign, and which. was used .by the revolution
as an instrument to overthrow the Pontifical
throne. He points to the deplorable conse
quences of such movements in. the present
condition of other countries, as showing that
concessions neverhring an element at force to
Go's - emu:lents, hut, ou the contrary, always
weaken the hands of authority, and open the
way to revolution and anarchy. For the Pope
to 1 - ,dve 'reforms would, in fact, be 'for; him to
give arms to his enemies against"hituself; and
the,agitation which has followed a change in
the system of government in Spain and Aus
tria, and in 'France itself, offers a sUfliciont
warning against" such a course. No 'political
reforms art- pos4ible till the . Holy Kee is re
poFsest-eil of its lost provinces, and an end is
put to the dream of Italian unity.. Then it
may be practicable to devise some 'mezzo ter
mine,, which will enable the PontiticalGovero
went to; follow the counsels of France, with
out laying itself open to the attacks of the
Italian revolutionists or endangering those,
Governments--which-shall succeed the Italian
monarchy.

Passenger train No: 4, bound for Dubuque,
John Doherty,conductor, and Edward Daven

passenger coaches and a , sleeping-car, had
reached this point, running at a speed of fif

or eighteen miles an hour, when a
broken rail was encountered, and in a - mo
ment's time the complete train was wrecked.
Two passenger cars , were thrown clear
from the track and rolled down
the embankment, end over end,
at its highest point, the rear car finally land
ing on the top of the other, while the sleeping
car was turned completely round, but still re
mained on the track. These were filled at the
time of the accident with men, women and
children, and the scene of terror and confusion
that ensued may be imagined, while many of
the unfortunate inmates were severely in
jured. Three men had their arms and legs
broken; and a lady with a small child was so
severely hurt, her colar bone being fractured,
that her life is &spared of. That all were not
killed outright would seem to be a miracle.

ANOTHER EDITOR IN TROUBLE.
George Wilken Caned by Major William
Leland.
The wor/q; of this morning, says
A scene occurred on Broadway, yesterday
afternoon, which, for a short time, caused a
great sensation and materially, shocked the
promenaders of that gay thoroughfare. It ap
pears that for some time past a storm had
been brewing between the editor of Wilkes's
Spirit of the Trines; Mr.l4eorge Wilkes, and
Major William Leland, of the .Metropolitan
Hotel. These gentlemen were. formerly on
the best of terms, but it seems that, of late
Major Leland : had bestowed some fa
vors on the paper called the
Turf, Fidd and "'arm, which is a
bitter rival telhe',Spirit,and hence the jealousy
and hatred of the proprietor of the latter
journal were aroused. Mr. Wilkes expressed
his displeasure several times to Major Leland
and his brother .Charles, but the Major,feeling
that, he was under„no personal obligation to
the editor of the spirit, refused to mend his
ways, or: to conform to the wishes of his
fOrmer friend: Saturday last he was as
tonished', 'on taking up the ,S'pirit, to find In its
Columns 'what he regarded a ,gross attack
on' hituself, an article in which Major
Leland was dished ' up to the pub
lic as a coward. In carving Mr. Leland; the
editor also discovered other properties in him.
Which he 'denominated, accordingly. Major
Leland, after reading the article, denounced it
as a ‘ metin; cowardly attack, and told his bro . -,
ther he would g:et Satisfaction from tho editor
in some way. He Seemed to be most offended
at being repriisented'as a coward, and said he
did not care - for - anything-else that- irad. been
written about him: He asserted that he was no
coward, and' that to,prove it he ,would meet
Wilkes „anYwhera, and ..under, under any ' eireurn-;
stances, Ills brother,Mr:C.Leland, endeavor.'

TON, D. C., March 8, I 8 O. 7. D: Cox,
;.ecretary of the Interior, Washington, D. C.:
DEAR Sin—l have the honor to transmit here
with Senate executive document N 0.40, being
your letter •commimicating, in compliance
with a resolution of the Senate of December
13,1869, papers in relation to the sale of certain
landS in Kansas known as the Black Bob lands
of the Shawnees ; also purporting to contain
the accortipanying papers in said case. This
matter is now before the Committee on In
dian Affairs of the-House of Representatives,
and in order to a full understanding
of . the subject a resolution was recently
passed by the House requesting the Seu r
ate to send to the House .for reference to the
Committee on Indian Affairs all the papers'
relating to the subject. On the receipt of this
request - from the Home it Was stated by the
chairman of the Committee on Indian Affairs
of the Senate that the papers had been sent to
the printer, and hence could not be furnished
until printed, and the resolution was tem
porarily laid on the table. An examination
of tin:se papers as printed in the aforesaid
Senate executive document and a comparison
with the originals on file in your department
will, I am confident, prove that this document
is a partial and garbled publication, and that
the great body of the papers in . the'
case are omitted altogether. As lam .in
formed by those familiar with •the precedents
in both• houses of Congress in cases of this
kind, and as it must' be evident
to all that this suppression of an important por
tion of a record Is Most, extraordinary and im
proper; -I submit the whole subject to you • for
such action as you may see tit to take. I
ought to add that I was recently informed
that Hon. E. G. Ross, one of the Senators
from the State of Kansas, and a member of
the COmmittee on Indian Affairs in the Senate,
prepared the aforesaid papers for the printer.
But I must add, also; that I am slow to believe
that a United States Senator., before whom an
important subject like this is pending for
official action, would garble or simnress
papers for any purpose whatever. Very re-
Tectfully, your obedient servant,
SIDNEY CLARKE.
