NEW BL00HFIELD, TENN'A.
Tuesday, June 7, 1S70.
Last wekk the Ilouao by a voto of
1 1.5 yeas to 78 nays, reduced the Income
Taxf'roin five to thrco per cent, and by a
voto of 138 to 52 increased the exemption
to $2000, refusing, however, to abolish it
altogether by 123 to 50.
The list of killed and wounded in the
Fenian raid foots up eleven killed, seven
teen wounded.
Ought not the loaders of this enter
prise bo held legally responsible for the
.-iiurder of these men ?
If not legally liable they aro certainly
morally responsible for this loss of life.
A case just brought before the
courts of New Jersey, shows how the in
uuranco business is sometimes carried on.
The Mariner's Insurance Company of
Jersey City, after doing a flourishing bu
siness for some time, sustained a loss,
when it was discovered that the company
was not incorporated, but had pur
chased for $300 the charter of another
company. It was then claimed that the
directors of the old company could be
made responsible for the loss, but these
persons showed that their names had
been used ?.s directors in advertisements
and cards without their consent. It was
also shown that ono Logan, who had oper
ated the concern, had effected insuran
ces through the use of well-known and
responsible names, and before being call
ed upon to pay any heavy losses had de
camped for parts unknown. Tho books
had also been disposed of, so there re
mained no evidence to show tho condition
of tho compauy, or tho names of the par
tics really connected with it as directors.
An Infernal Deed. .
Tho crimo charged againstja man nam-
ful Lanere. a dealer in picture lrames in
this city, is one that should give him a
pre-eminence in the criminal catalogue
' Jbr diabolical intent. He shipped a box
in April last, on tho New Orleans steamer
, and secured an insurance on it or one
thousand six hundred and fifty dollars,
and the box proved to have been pre
pared with explosive and inflammable
material, and was only prevented lroni
burning the ship'by the watchfulness and
activity of the captain. In tho box
were vessels of alcohol, gasoline and tur-
cntine, and- fire was apparently to have
been set to these by a chemical that
would cxplodo with slight fricti jruand was
provided ior by unco shut in a box, who.
in gnawing their way out, were to fire
Uie train that might have destroyed the
ship and all her compauy at sea. Here
then, is, if tho charge prove true, a man
who deliberately contrives that awful ca
lamity, fire, on a ship at sea contrives
tho possible frightful death of twenty or
thirty persons to secure the small prize
of sixteen hundred dollars insurance
money. N. Y. Jhrnld.
Rather Mysterious.
In tearing down the chimney of an
old frame house, in New lork, Inst week
the skull of a skeleton, grim and ghastly,
was suddenly revealed by the tailing awuy
(f some plaster. 1 he whole ot tho rub
bish and falling plaster was removed as
soon as the fears ot the trembling labor
ers would permit, and in a short time a
lull skeleton was taken out of a placo in
which it must have reposed for almost
half a century.
The police hunted up a colored woman
who had been a resident of the room in
whicli the skeleton was found, for over
twenty-live years. Sho professed entire
ignoranco ot its existeuco, and showed
by her frightened appearance to bo more
Kurprised than tho laborers. feho hau
often heard strange noises at night about
tho room but had always attributed them
to rata and mice. Coroner Keenan will
hold an inquest, and may possibly throw
some light upou the mysterious caso.
Fearful Scene In a Ken York Theater.
A frightful scene, more exciting in its
details than tho very strongest blood and
thunder tragedy that a liowcry audience
over witnessed, occurred at the IJowcry
Theater, on Saturday, tho 28th ult. Tho
performances were drawing to a close,
expectation was on the tiptoe to witness
the bravo and daring acts of Miss Minnie
ells with the l'unia lions. I hat young
lady entered upon the stage, made her
courtesy to the audience, and immediate
went into the cage containing the lions
the crowded audience meantime watching
the exhibition with breathless interest.
Suddenly, while tho young actress was
going through the performance with the
animals, piercing screams broke the cwe
struck sileneo of the theater, and the au
dience wcro horrified at the sight of a
huge lion seizing tho young lady by the
throat and lacerating her in such a fright
ful manner that tho blood poured in
streams upon her dress.
1 he actors and attendants upon the
stage rushed forward and struck at the
enraged brute, and succeeded in causing
him to relinquish his hold upon Miss
ells who was dragged from the cage in
a fainting condition. She was carried
home by her parents and received prompt
surgical attendance, i he scene among
the audience baffles description. Sever
al women fainted, and men shouted in
ony at witnessing a danger which they
were powerless to prevent, information
of the event was brought to the Franklin
street police-station, and Captain Kenne
dy, ot the Sixth precinct, with a large
i'orce of police was promptly on hand,
and succeeded in restoring order, so that
the theater was cleared without further
accident.
A Singular Rubbery.
Joseph Yt. Isaacs.a diamond merchant
rcsidin" at 57 Kast thirteenth street N. Y.
was called upon on Thursday last by a
tall young man, of dark complexion who
seemed to be an Italian, representing
that ho had somo diamonds to sell, and
requested Mr. Isaacs to call upon him
at his room, io. 4U St. .Nicholas Hotel
Uroadway. Mr. Isaacs called upor the
stranger at the time appointed, and found
him at the number and placo mentioned
at the St Nicholas.
After a few minutes conversation they
were joined by another stranger, who
with Mr. Isaacs supposed customer,
seized and gagged him, and stuffed a
towel saturated with chloroform into his
mouth and1 around his nose. Isaacs at
once became uncouscious, and tho two
strangers 'robbed him of $200 in legal
tender notes, $1000 in promissory notes
a large diamond ring with rubies, worn
upon his litile finger, worth $125. Mr.
Isaacs, after returning , to consciousness,
screamed at tho top of his voice and made
all sorts of noise, which soon brought him
assistance.
After beins freed from the fetters and
relating his story, search was iinmedi
iifoly made for the strangers, but the
birds had fled with their booty. At the
instance of the proprietor of the hotel
Isaacs was brought to headquarters and
the case laid before Superintendent Jour-
dan, who detailed two expert detectives
to work up the matter.
A Church Row.
There was a conflict of an unseemly
character, in Zion Church, (colored), cor
ner ot lilecker and V . leiitu street, N.
Y., last week, Uev Wm. V. liutler, the
pastor, is not liked by some ot tho con
grcgation, and they considered it necces-
sary to have two policemen with him
when ho entered the church. They
found another minister had taken his
place in the pulpit, but they soon ousted
him. Mr. Butler, however, was not even
then, through his troubles. When ho at
tempted to speak, tho gas was extin
guished and he was forcibly removed.
Tho whole church was a scene of uproar
and confusion ; a meleo ensued, and sev
eral blows were struck. Captain (Irccr,
of the ninth Precinct and a plattoon of
police, soou put an end to the fracas by
difpersing the congregation aud arresting
two of the ringleaders.
At Wheeling W. Va., on Wednesday
of last week, while a daughter of the
jailor and hr assistant were taking break
fast to tho prisoners in tho county jail,
they wero forced into cells and locked
up, by means of falso keys, and twelve
prisoners succeoded in opening the hall
door, and, quietly-locking up tho jailor's
family in cells, walked out into tho street
in broad daylight aud' escaped. Four
havo been recaptured. A prisoner, in
dicted for murder, reflect to enter into
the conspiracy, and gave tho alarm upon
tho escape of his companions.
Information for Justices and Constables.
From tho following extracts of a decis
ion by Judge Graham in a suit to deeido
what disposition should bo mado of funds
arising from sale on Execution, Justices of
tho Peace and Constables may find informa
tion of some valuo to them :
"Wcbelievo the general understanding
and pract ico of Justices has been to require
tho Constables to return tho execution in
twenty days from its date, and if returned
with n levy, an alias execution is isued up
on which the goods levied on are sold.
I ins wo consider erroneous and un-au-thorized
by tho act of Assembly.
1 ho l;ith Section ot tho act referred to re
quires the Justice to issue an execution to
the constable, commanding him to levy the
debt, and within twenty days next follow
ing t !io levy, expose the goods levicd.tosale.
This is the evident meaning of the language
used, and it is the only construction consis
tent with tho lrith sec. winch makes the
levy a lien for twenty days after it is made.
and no longer. 1 he Constable has twenty
days from the date of the execution to make
his levy and the lien of tho levy continues
for twenty days alter it is made, So long
as this lien continues, ho may sell, but not
afterwards. He may levy on the 20th day,
and sell on tho fortieth, twenty days after
tho lev3', and tho only provisiou mado for
issuing an alias execution, is when tho lien
of tho levy has expired before sale. Then
an alias may issue. The iirst writ in functus
officio, and the proceeding on the alias is de
novo, by levy, .Vc, as on the hrst execution.
Thus it will be seen that the general
practice of Justices, is not legal, and Con
stables may take forty days from date of
execution for levy and sale, and an alias
Execution need only bo issued when tho
salo does not take placo within twenty days
after the first levy has been made.
A Thief Treed by a Dog.
A thief came to grief under peculiar
circumstances at Fort Wayne, the other
day. Two drovers went to sleep in a
caboose car at that place, having hung up
in the car a carpet sack containing $5,000.
A fellow who saw it, managed to reach
in and take the bag, and not content with
one, went through a trap door for another
further off. A bull dog, however, seized
him in transitu from the rearward, and
one 'of the drovers waking up, saw the
situation, drew a big knife and swore
he would cut the thief's head off if he
didn't tell where the other sack was. Of
course, the thief told, and, despite his
pleadings, was left in charge of tho dog
until tho property was secured. He was
then released, a sadder man, and minus a
quart of blood.
