Tlio wrestling mutch lit Baltimoro
between Miller find McLaughlin lust
Thursday night came to an end shortly
after two o'clock Friday morning, the
referee declining the mutch ended and
a draw. During the contest of five
and a half hours, McLaughlin gained
one fall and Miller one.
Twelve women, divided equally as
to numbers, went to a quiet spot near
Vincennes, Intl., to settle a feud by a
fight. Several hundred men wit
nessed the combat, which lasted half
an hour, and disfigured twelve faces.
A local clergyman kept on the safe
side of the truth when he said, "This
was a sad commentary on our boasted
civilization."
Deadwood, April 10. Seven
Indians attacked Sergeant Kennedy,
late Signal Observer at Deadwood, and
a private soldier named Bader. The
two men were eating lunch at Mizpah,
forty-ftve miles from Fort Keogh,
their destination, when fired upon.
Bader was instantly killed, and
Kenneda badly wounded. The latter
crawled into the brush and kept the
Indians at bay with a six shooter until
assistance arrived. Bader was scalped.
Kennedy will probnbly recover.
A negro with a' skull like unto
wrought iron is the hero of the Wll
lnitigton, N. C, wharves. He was at
work unloading a cargo of ice from a,
vessel when an accident occurred.
The ice was received at a door on the
top story of the ice house and lowered
to the ground floor a distance of fifty
feet. A block weighing 400 pounds
was about to be lowered when it
slipped from the scales and decended
with fearful velocity. It struck the
crown of the negro's skull and was
battered into fragments. The man
underneath the ice was somewhat sur
prised ; indeed, his lower jawbone was
lamed, if not broktn; but otherwise
he was not injured.
The little Trince Waldemar of the
German empire, whose death the tele
graph has announced, was just 11
years old, being born on the 10th of
February, 1S03. He was entitled to
the rank and uniform of a lieutenant
in the Imperial Guards, and was never
so happy as when allowed to mix with
the soldiers at Pottsdam, not far from
the lovely little palace in which his
father, the Crown Prince, resided.
From extreme infancy he was a weak
and delicate child, unusually preco
cious, like most infantile invalids, but
never giving promise of outgrowing
the heart disease from which he suf
fered. Of the seven children lie was
the fifth. His full name was Joachim
Frederick Ernest Waldemar, but the
jast alone was used.
Side by side with the recovery of
her prosperity, France has kept in
view the recovery of her military posi
tion. Out of a population of about
37,000,000, about 704,000 men are in the
active army, 510,000 in the reserve,
582,000 in the territorial army, and
625,000 in the territorial reserve ruak
iiigatoral of about 2,400,000 men, all
of whom have received some amount of
military training. Besides these, there
are about 1,330,000 men who, though
nominally belonging to the army and
liable to serve in certain contingencies,
have received no training. Against
these figures the Germans have to
show in the active army 401,000, in
the reserve 500,000, in the landwehr
680,000, and in the iandsturm 1,030,000
making in all 2,511,000 men who
have received some amount of military
truiuing, besides 3,345,000 men who
have received no training. In cavalry
the Germans have the advantage, the
figures for the two countries being 91,
000 men and 70,000. In artillery the
numerical advantage is with the
French, the figures being, for France
2,442 guns, and for Germany 2,124
guns. The immense drain of labor
which the maintenance of this army
must impose upon France is in addi
tion to, not in lieu of a drain of money.
The army estimates now reach $H2,
600,000 yearly.
Tennessee and Virginia have both
arranged for the equitable adjustment
of their public debts, although the
terms are not alike as to both states.
Virginia has debt and unpaid Interest
to the amount of $32,000,000. It is pro
vided that $8,000,000 shall be funded
into three per cent, bonds before Jan.
1, 1880, and $5,000,000 more each "suc
ceeding six months until the whole is
refunded. The bill which has passed
the Tennessee Legislature provides for
a payment of fifty cenu on the dollar
and four per cent, interest, but it is
hampered by the condition that the
measure shall be submitted to the
people at the polls for ratification. In
the case of either state the terms of
settlement have received the approval
of northern and foreign bondholders.
Nothing will help the south so much
as the payment of her debts, and these
steps in that direction are among the
most encouraging signs of the times.
Minnesota is now about the only state
of the Union that maintains the unen
viable distinction of a rauk rj?pudiator
of its public debts. - With accrued in
terest the debt of Minnesota runs up
to nearly ten millions, and it will
neither pay nor listen to any measure
of compromise. There is less excuse
for this state than any other defaulting
state. It is free of debt, has great re
source, and a large and growing population.
Washington Letter.
From our reiftilnr Corrmpondent.
Washington, D. C, April 14th.
When the vote was takeu on the
army bill, with the repealing amend
ments uttocherl, the Greenback mem
bers In the House voted with the Dem
ocrats, with three exceptions. It has
since been said that their votes were
so cast in pursuance of an agreement
on the part of the Democrats to vote
for a Monday session, to permit the
introduction of a certain financial
measure, which can only bo offered
on Mondays. But the motion to ad
journ over from Saturday to Tuesday
was carried, only a portion of Demo
crats voting no with tlieGreenbackers,
and I guess there wusu't any bargain
about It. No doubt these gentle
men voted according to their con
victions, though they may have
hoped to make the Democrats feel
under obligations to assist them after
ward in getting their measures before
the House. From all I can learn,
however, concerning the views of
members on the Democratic side, I
think the majority of them would
prefer to avoid entering into any
financial legislation thissession. But
at the session commencing in Decem
ber a regular programme, embracing
free coinage of gold or silver, with a
coinage of the hitter to the full capacity
of the mints, and the abolition of the
national banks, will be adopted Mr.
Atkins, of the Appropriation Com
mittee, recently said that this would
be about the position of his party,
though there will be a wide difference
of opinion as to whether greenbacks or
treasury notes shall be substituted for
the national bunk note. As the House
now stands there Is a decided majority,
including both Republicans and Dem
ocrats, opposed to any legislation on
this subject at present, and I am satis-J
fled none will be accomplished at the
extra session, though the Democratic
caucus has decided to hold Monday
sessions hereafter to permit bills to be
introduced.
The idea of authorizing by law the
formation of a corps of parliamentary
attorneys has again been brought
forward. But, as usual, it is made to
illustrate the all-grasping disposition
of the legal profession, and in that
respect needs watching. As proposed,
the members of the corps authorized to
register for practice before the com
mittees of Congress must be members
of the bar. This restriction is grossly
unfair and improper. The examination
by a committee of a subject upon which
legislation is asked or proposed is in
no sense, a judicial process. On the
contrary, it is distinctly not a lawyer's
argument which, in a great majority
of cases, a Congressional committee
needs or ought to listen to. Suppose
it to be the Ways and Means Com
mittee engaged in revising the tariff;
would not a statement from an im
porter, from a silk manufacturer, from
a wine merchant, from the proprietor
of a print works, from a carpet maker,
or an ironmonger be more useful than
anything the best lawyer could say ?
Suppose the subject of proposed legis
lation to relate to railways and tele
graph ; must a lawyer be paid to eluci
date it? Suppose it international
copyright; must authors speak only
throusrh an advocate's mouth? The
fact is, the lawyers are over-much rep
resented in Congress, which would be
the better for more farmers, merchants
and physicians among its members.
To make everybody but lawyers inel
igible as parlimentary attorneys would
be to aggravate an evil that is already
obvious enough to all but lawyers.
Mr Gorham, who has just been rt
lieved of the duties of Secretary of the
Senate, rendered his final account a
day or two ago. He has been uu excel
lent officer; and, after eleven years
service, during which he has disbursed
many millions for the United States
Senate is the most expensive body on
earth he closed his account for the
first time. It was found at the depart
ment that there was one cent owing
him. In an wflk-ial letter, which had
to be copied, recorded, numbered, etc.,
the United States Treasurer notified
Mr. Gorham of the balance on settle
ment, and requested him to druw a
check for the amount. With the
same precision as though a million of
dollars was at stake, the check was
drawn and a messenger conveyed it to
the Treasury. The books were
searched to see if the account was to
Gorham's credit, and then the cent
was paid a great big copper one,
which the ex -Secretary proposes to
keep for luck forever. ' It seems that,
had he not drawn the balance, it
would have gone on forever among
the liabilities of the Treasury, and
occasioned any amount of trouble to
the clerks. Dom Pedro.
Ex-Gov. McCormick, the Chief
Commissioner from the United States
to the Paris Exhibition, tells the
Washington Poat that the Yankees
pleased the Europeans with American
scales, watches, locomotives, anthra
cite coal and fine machinery. It ap
pears, too, that our exhibit of dead
headism caused astonishment, for he
says : "The officials were overwhelmed
by crowds of Commissioners who
came over and made demands for
tickets and social privileges, and
greatly puzzled the French officials,
who could not imagine why they
should be so numerous. The law pro
vided for the appointment of twenty
additional Commissioners. Then hon
orary Commissioners were created, two
from each State, appointed by the
Governor and confirmed by the Presi
dent. Then it was decided thut each
State and Territory might send as
many as it pleased, and Governors
made out blanks accordingly. Such a
cloud of witnesses made confusion,
which the French Government finally
reduced to order by deciding that they
would recognize only those appoiuted
by the Presidents
-The Bradford Era prints a long
account of a case of inhuman wife
beating that occurred in Harrlsburg, a
small village near Bradford, some two
weeks since. The brute is a man
named Kneeland Coy, who of late has
been given to drink, and when under
the influence of liquor, frequently
abuses his family. ' About two weeks
ago, during one of his sprees, after
abusing hi) wife with his tongue, he
brutally beat and kicked her, causing
her death some ten days after, and also
the death of her unborn child. The
Era says : " The woman in her suffer
ing realized that her earthly life was
drrwing to "a close, and called to her
bedside her cruel and semi-maudlin,
husband. In a weak, tremulous, but
withal earnest and kindly tone re
quested as a dying boon that he would
promise to care for the four motherless
and helpless little children, when she
was laid away in the grave. This the
man declared he would do so far as
he was able. The dying woman know
ing thut lie must needs neglect her
children if ho continned in the ex
cessive use of liquor, urged above all
other requests that he would consent
so discontinued the use of strong drink
He replied that lie could not make
such a promise. She repeated her re
quest and pleaded in the most piteous
manner, but the brutal man sent the
woman to her grave with an indiffer
ent answer. During all her moribund
conference with the hard-hearted man,
the sorrowing woman did not charge
her husband with being the cause of
her own death and that of her unborn
child, nor did she even refer to the
matter which must have wrung her
heart. It is said that when 1 the -vital
spark of heavenly flame' took its de
parture the husband was Absent, doubt
less in quest of drink. Wednesday
Mr. Rogers apprised by telegram the
friends of Mrs. Coy, who reside some
where In Potter county, this State of
iter death. Yesterday a brother and
two sisters arrived in the city and have
taken charge of the corpses. They
disposed of most of the furniture,
which was scant enough, and intend
taking the children witli them to their
homein the place name d. The furni
ture was owned personally by Mrs.
Coy. It is said that about two years
ago the Coys became estranged by the
bad conduct of Kneeland, and Mrs.
Coy returned to her friends. Coy
afterwards visited her home and made
many promises of doing better in the
future. Somewhat against the wishes
of her friends, Mrs. Coy again returned
to live with her husband. To-duy the
remains of mother and child, together
with the four children, the eldest of
whom is eleven years and the youngest
five, will be takeu by the dead wo
man's relatives to Potter county."
Kingston, N. V. April 11. Van
Gaasbeck, the notorious fire bug
recently sentenced to twenty years in
the Clinton State prison, was drunk
on the night of his last incendiarism.
William Mieekens, the owner of the
building burned, brings suit against
William Murphy, the owner of the
building in which Morgan Harris has
a saloon. It is charged that Van
Gaasbeck procured his liquor from
Harris, and that under the Civil
Damage law Murphy, the landlord of
Harris, is liable for damages. Plaint
iff claims that, in view of the late
decision of the Court of Appeals in the
Middletown case, they cannot fail to
recover. Attorney-General Sc noon-
maker and other leading lawyers of
this section are interested. The result
will establish an interesting precedent,

A Handsome Income For An
ENERGETIC I.ADY OR GENTLEMAT.
The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati
have just patented and are now in
troducing to the public a Handsomely
finished Family Scale, an article
that has always been needed in every
household, and in a communication
addressed to the publishers of this
paper the proprietors ask us to refer
them to some reliable party, to intro
duce it for them to the people of this
County. It is very seldom that a
new article steps so suddenly into uni
versal favor. House-keepers are loud
in its praise, it is always ready, here
are no weights to get lost or to be
hunted up, it is reliable, and will not
get out of order. The discription of
them is a handsome base surmounted
by a column in which works a spiral
spring so scientifically adjusted as to
weigh .anything up to twelve pounds
with perfect accuracy, on the top of
the column is the platform on which
the articles to be weighed are placed,
and they have an adjustable indicator
so that you cau tike the tare of any
vessel you may use -in weighing,
giving you the exact net weight.
House-keepers at once see their value
in weighing fruits, sugars and other
ingredients used in preserving, cook
ing etc., or in testing the weights of
purchases from others.
The scales are made of Brass, are
highly polished and are finished in a
skillful manner. They are very at
tractive and take the eye of every one
who sees them.
It seems to us that nearly every
family in this county will want one,
and is certainly a rare opportunity for
some smart and energetic party to pick
up quite a nice little income during
the next few months. The Company
has agents in other counties who are
easily making from $5 00 to $0 00 per
dayselling them, and we would re
commend parties in need of employ
ment to drop the OHIO SCALE
WORKS, No. 125 and 127 Central
Avenue, Cincinnati, O., a Postal Card,
and all information etc., will be cheer
fully given them by mentioning our
paper.
