'-Hon. Jackson Paggs, President
Judge of the Thirty-third judicial dis
trict of Pennsylvania, died suddenly
of apoplexy, nt Kittanning,Annstrong
county, last Saturday. He had been
nfllicted for some months witli gun
grene of the feet, which the best sur
geons had failed to arrest. His death
from apoplexy was therefore n great
surprise.
At the Mormon Conference just
closed at Salt Lake City John Tnvlor
was re-elected President of the Twelve
Apostles and Trustee of the Church.
Moses Thatcher Logan was elected as
one of the Twelve Apostles to lill
vacancy. Xn President of tlie Church,
to succeed Prigham Young, wnscleetcd
George (. Cannon, Delegate to Con
grcss, advocated polygamy as a pre
ventive ol the social evil.
A meeting was called in Eureka,
Lai., to express disapprobation of Sen
ntorconiiiis' course m the Legislature,
i ut betore. it had been called to order
ine senator hlmscir walked Jn, took
the platform, and made u brief speech
in defence of his acts. Then he went
down among the audience, shook his
fist in tlie faces of men who had
started the movement against hint,
urew a revolver, and dared anybody
to present the resolutions. The meet
ing was formally adjourned.
Mr. Gibson, proprietor of the Gib
son House, Cincinnati, wooed Miss
Bunco, but his parents objected to the
match, and he, although 4-5 years old,
conformed to their wishes. Miss
Dunce held him to his engagement,
however, until he had bought her re
lease lor s-jO.ooo iu i,tes of 10,0oo
eieh. Afterward he renewed his
e )iirtship, and she gave him back the
notes, whereupon he cut her acquain
tance. That is the story as told by
MissBinicc in her suit f(,j- damages.
The newspapers of San Francisco,
looking hack" a few mouths, have dis
covered another epidemic there. This
time it is an epidemic or oliicial fraud.
Jt opened with the tragic death of an
ex-tax collector, and the revelation
that he had done away with over a
quarter of a million of dollars of the
city's money. Then came an exposure
of frauds in sewer cleaning contracts,
closely followed by startling revela
tions of frauds in the Public School
School Department. Next came nu
merous frauds in street work, and
finally, the exposure of criminal ma
nipulation of warrants and certificates
of indebtedness, based upon street
openings, involving a loss of $100,000.
Fort McKinney, Wyoming, April
Information was received lu re to
day that on the night of the 17th Inst.,
horse thieves entered the house of Mr.
Foster, one of the oldest settlers in
tliis section, living on tlie Peony, near
Old Fort Kearney, fifteen miles east of
this post. The desperadoes hung Mr.
Foster up by the neck until he was
nearly dead in order to compel him to
disclose the whereabouts of a large
amount of money which he was suji
posed to have. Foster refused to give
tlieni the information and was uncon
scious when they let him down. He
revived and wits again hung, as he
still persisted in his refusal. The
thieves then ransacked his house and
took all his bedding and thirteen dol
lars iu money the savings of his
c hildren. They also took his horses
three iu number.
A ease savoring ,f the Fnocn
Ardeu style has lately been developed
near Kittanning. At the breaking
out of the war a man who is ficti
tiously called Fox enlisted, and leav
ing a wife behind, went to the army.
At length, after one of the famous bat
tles, he was missing, and years passing
and no word being received from him,
his wife re-married. She lived with
husband No, 2 for several years and
had one child born to her, when one
day husbaud Ku. 1 stepped in at the
door. He stated that lie had been
wounded and taken prisoner, and
after many delays and misfortunes had
at length returned. His wife, prefer
ring her last husband to him, gave up
possession of his farm and moved
with husband -No. 2 to another. All
purlieu are living peaceably and as
though nothing had ever happened.
Washington Letter.
From our rcvulnr Correnpoiuloiit.
"Washington, D. C, April 21st.
Congress, of course Is pegging away,
rind Is doing a wonderful amount of
good for the country with Its vast fund
of speech-making find dilatory pro
ceedings generally. The Senate Is
traversing the 'same ground the
House occupied on the army bill, nnd
the discussion Is quite ns vigorous.
Senators Logon and Plaine were ex
tremely free in their charges of at
tempted revolution by the democrats,
while Senators Withers nnd Deck
repelled, in equally stiong terms, all
Imputations of the kind. Mr. Deck
astonishes us with the statement, in
the midst of his speech, thnt.hc desired
the Senate to adjourn until the next
day, in order- to. collect Ills thoughts,
nnd be aide thereby to condense and
his remarks. Daniel Webster once
apologized to the --Supreme Court for
having prolonged his argument, ns
signing ns the cause that he was com
pelled to speak without proper prepa
ration. The force of such a statement
can be appreciated in connection with
a legal argument before the highest of
our courts, lint when a senator re
peats . it while making a buncomb
speech, It seems more than passing
strange. F.mpty benches tolerate long
s leeches in either legislative body, and
apologies for rambling remarks seem
necessary. Mr. Peek is a vigorous de
bater, but lacks the polish of Mr. IJny
ard and incisiveness of Mr. Dlaine.
... Monday, was to be., .tlie grand bill
day iu the house', and no doti I it each
member had at least twelve bills in
Ids pocket to otler. 'tint Mr. Conger
checked that move with a point of
order, and, to tlie infinite disgust of
tlie members, they could not get one
introduced, save in the circumbendibus
manner suggested by Mr. Stephens, of
petition. Like Pandora's box, the evil
is most mischievous, for .the flood
of bills seems grcnter than if the
stream had been allowed to take its
own course. The Greenbackers nre
happy, for their various measures can
lie spread upon the records of tlie
Finance Committee, nnd can lie re
ported any day the members are found
lacking in speech-making material.
Whether any of these will assume
definite form depends upon tlie will of
the minority, for it possesses much the
same power now that it had two years
ago, when Mr. Conger smashed Mr.
Ewing's anti-resumption bill, which
was so proudly reported to the House
by him, with the refusal to permit the
oppositional) amend lit any particular.
Faster Sunday came brightly and
pleasantly to us, giving us every indi
cation that spring, with her violets
and pansies, was now here, nnd that
Winter's breath would cease to chill
until many months hence. Our
churches celebrated the glad day with
choicest music and costliest floral dee
orations. We attended St. Augustine's
the colored Catholic church, to hear
its choir celebrate tlie various masses,
and were most agreeably surprised
to realize that the reputation of
the singers was well deserving,
for we doubt if nny choir In the
city excels this one in real artistic
merit and execution. But, ns usual
where the colored race is concerned,
whatever superiority is found seems to
lie in the mulatto, and due to the infu-
ion of the white blood. Herein this
choir were a score of most excellent
performers, all of which were abo ve
half bloods, nnd just as among our
colored citizens, whose talents and
force of character have elevated them
above the common herd, with rarest
exceptions indeed, the impress of
white blood unmistaknblv ai wears.
Is the future advancement in excel
lence and greatness of the colored race
to depend alone on the admixture of
Caucasian strength and vigor? is a
query which has now but an aflirnia
tive answer in Washington, for all
that are making their mark here by
their brains, or with such special fac
ulties us their voices in St. Augustine's
choir, are most largely endowed with
mixed blood. Our Fred. Douglass is
tlie son of a Maryland Senator by a
mulatto mother, and John M. Laug
ston, whose eloquence obtained him
tlie mission to Hayti. is 7-S white.
From the barber polo upward superior
skill, success, and advancement shows
itself in the mixed blood.
Our courts are still busied with the
many criminal eases which have been
burdening the criminal docket. Some
half a doy.cn persons, charged with
murder, were acquitted or given short
sentences of imprisonment, but a col
ored woman named Jul in Wallace.
who murdered " her infant child, was
sentenced to be hung in June next.
The jury, however recommended her
to clemency, which doubtless will be
exercised by tlie President, inasmuch
is she Is hardly possessed of reason
sufficient to make her a responsible
being. The pardon of O'Brien, who
was guilty of one of the most cold
blooded murders ever committed in
the District, first by General Grunt.
commuting tlie sentence of death to
life imprisonment, and next by Mr.
Hayes liberating him, sets a precedent
of clemency that should forever put a
stop to hanging, here, particularly so of
Unit witted negroes, even when guilty
of infanticide, which is assuming such
fearful porportious among our colored
people. Last year one Edward Ray
was tried for outraging a Miss Tyding,
of Baltimore, whom lie enticed over
here under the promise of making her
governess in his family, but he escaped
through a disagreeing jury. He is
now on trial again, with a fair promise
of receiving a similar verdict, for, in
all instances, our Juries refuse to con
vict on second trials where the first
disagreed.
Chief Moses and his delegation of
brother chiefs, who are sojourning
here, evince great interest In mutters
of the Capital. He' v idled the Sabbath-
school of the Foundry Church nnd
delivered quite ft lengthy address to
the children, which wns interpreted to
them as he spoke. So expert dp In
terpreters become In taking up the
words spoken, thnt little delay Is ex
perienced In getting what Is snld by
the speaker. Chief Moses strongly
resembles Henry Ward Beecher In
physiognomy nnd physique, having
tlie snine broad face and heavy, stout
frame. Yet the Indian appears In all
his actions nnd words.
The passage of the yellow fever Gum
gec bill by the House Is a step in tlie
right direction, even If wc ndmlt that
the process of freezing out tlie germs
of that terrible disease may possible
prove a failure. No one familiar with
yellow fever doubts tliaf It will re-np-pear
this summer in tlie same localities
ravaged last year, nnd if so, its spread
may be northward along all our water
lines nnd sen coast- The expenditure
of 200,000 in intelligent experiments
is of little moment in contrast with
the good sought to be obtained. We
do not hesitate to spend millions in
experimenting with artillery or guns,
nnd it would seem strange, indeed,
that we can not devote a few thousands
for the saving of life by prevention of
epidemics. Dom Peiiko.
WiM.tAMriPOKT, Pa., April 21.
At 4.30 o'clock this afternoon a tire
broke out in the large planing mill of

speedily got beyond control and spread
to .the adjoining furniture factory of

in, the city. Both buildings were
entirely consumed. H ubbard & Man

from a hot box in the part of the build
