the Administrators of the estate of J.

been under investigation for several
weeks, and covered claims for profes

twenty years.
We notice by the Franklin pa

son, of Euilentou, Venango county,
Pa., who was suspended from the
Presbyterian church for dancing, last
Spring, was before the Clarion Presby
tery on appeal. The Defendant de
fended himself in an argument of two
hours. The trial consumed tiie en
tire day, and resulted in twenty-two
to not sustain the appeal, and one,
Mr. Caruahan, of Oil City, to sustain.
The trial was an animated one. The
Defendant took an appeal to Synod,
which meets in Erie. The decision
was a surprise to the community, as
it was admitted that the Defendant
could not dance, bui only tried to.
A truly modeut girl Mill shrink
from being under money obligations
to a young man, even though he be
her lover. Hut on the other hand,
many a girl is careless as to how much
money any young man may spend for
her. Three and five dollars for a
horse and carriage he can poorly
afford, perhaps, yet she will go with
him week after week, with no partic
ular interest in him, unmindful ap
parently whether he earns the money
or takes It from his employer's drawer.
He makes her expensive presents. He
takes her to a concert. A young man
respects a young woman all the more
who is careful of the way in which he
spends his money, uud will not per
mit too much to be used for her. A
thoughtful and well-bred girl will be
wise about these matters. Ej
OBITOAltY.
BISHOP K. O. HAVEN, OF TIIE METHO
DIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Syracuse, August 3'. Intelligence of
tlie death of Bishop E. O. Haven, at
Portland, Oregon, was received in this
city to-day.
SKETC H OF HIS LIFE.
Bishop E. O. Haven was born in
Boston, November 1, 18H0, and gradu
ated from Wesleyan University in
1842.'. He united with the New York
conference in 1818, in 1853 was elected
to a professorship iu the University of
Michigan, and in 1850 was chosen
editor of Joan Herald, iu which
position he earned a very fine reputa
tion as a writer. In 1803 he was
elected president of the University of
Michigan under circumstances of
great and peculiar embarrassment ; he
however, soon showed himself master
of the situation, and it was .matter of
great regret to all the friends of the
University, when, in 1S00, he resigned
his position to accept a similar one in
the Northwestern University at
Evanstown, Illinois, where he re
mained three years. In 1874 he was
elected chancellor of the Syracuse
University. He was also secretary of
the board of education of the Metho
dist church. Dr. Haven has been a
member of five general conferences.
In that of 1872 he was a promiueut
candidate for bishop, but, although
polling a large number of votes, he
was not one of the eight elected. He
was elected a bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal church in May, 1880.
Bishop Haven had a national reputa
tion as a writer, preacher aud edu
cator. Maud S.

worst) physicians, who gave her dis
ease various uames but no relief, and

AT DENVER.
H. M. Burton, the alleged stno rob
ber, who whs arrested lit Pueblo and
brought to Denver, July 1, had his
preliminary examination before Judge
Brazee a few days ago. Burton Is
charged with robbing the stage run
ning between Del Norloand Alamosa,
about midnight or June 2!L The
robbery was one of the most audacious
in the annals of highway robbery, and
links the name of the perpetrator with
that of Billy Le Roy. The story of
the deed Is best told in the words of
J. B. McMillan, of Del Norte, one of
the victims of the robbery, and who
was the first and principal witness for
the prosecution in the examination.
He said in substance :
"There were eight men and one
woman inside the coach, and four
men besides the driver on top. I was
among the latter, sitting beside the dri- 1
ver. It was about midnight, I should
think, and about twenty miles from
Del Norte, when wo were halted. It
was very dark, and we were just turn
ing a bend when the word came to
halt. There was only one man visi
ble, to the left and about ten feet ahead
of the coach. The robber was stand
ing behind a piece of canvass stretched
alongside the road, and had a revolver
pointed directly at myself and the
driver. He told us to deliver ourselves
and he would not harm us, but if we
made a bad break he would shoot. I
was on the side next to the robber,
and I immediately got down from my
seat, followed by the driver. After he
got down the robber emnc from
behind the canvass and placed over
our beads a cloth cap, which came
down to our shoulders aud completely
dlinded us. He then ordered us to
stand still, and himself went to the
stage door aud ordered the occupants
to come out, one at a time, and take
t heir position alongside the driver and
myself.
'"He told the passengers not to make
any unnecessary movements, as they
were all covered by the guns of his
men in concealment, and their lives
were in jeopardy. After the passen
gers were all in line, he put cups simi
lar to mine over their heads, and then
proceeded to rille their pockets. He
took nothing but money. Everything
else he would replace just where he
got it from. I do not know how much
money he got. From me he got about
;?140 which lie took from my pocket
book, replacing the pocketbook after
he took the money out. He had a
light burning iu front of the canvass,
behind whicn was u reflector, which
shed the rays directly iu our faces.
He occupied about iifteen minutes to
the search. He then ordered us to
kneel, which we did, all In a row, and
lie proceeded to rille the mail bags.
The woman at his bidding, held the
light lor him while he did this. He
kept us kneeling about half an hour.
He kept talking ail the time, using
very good language. In fact, during
the whole time of the robbery he was
very gentlemanly.
"lie had a soft, mellow voice. He
was not nervous or quick, but did the
work in a business-Hue manner. He
was a man nearly six feet in height,
smooth lace, had a heavy, light
moustache, and would weigh perhaps
one hundred and sixty-five pounds.
He had on u dark hat and coat, and
was not disguised iu any way. After
he had robbed the mail he skipped off
into the darkness. When we found
lie had left we removed our caps, un
tied each others' hand i, picked up the
remnants of the mall bags aud the
mail, and proceeded on to Alamosa,
it is my opinion now that he did the
work alone, and that his companions
being in the bushes was all a hoax.
A case of much interest was de
cided by Judge Aeheson, in the
United States District Court at Pitts
burg, showing the necessity of putting
deeds for land promptly on record.
In 1873 Alexander Smith executed a
deed to Henry Metzgar for a tract of
hind in JefForson county. But the
deed was uot filed for record until
June, 1876. About a year afterward
Smith conveyed the same land to
Duncan McBane, who placed the deed
therefor for record, Sept. 8, 1874.
Metzgur sold his title to Geo. W.
Wilson. McBane brought, an action
of ejectment ugainst Wilson, who
seems to have been- in possession of
the land from the lime of his pur
chase from Smith. On the trial ot the
cause judgment was given in favor of
McBane, on the ground that Metzgur
not having placed his deed on record
within six months after the date of its
execution, and the deed to McBane
having been first recorded, subse
quently, the title to the land vested in
McBane under the statute of Pennsyl
vania relative to placing on record
conveyances for lands.
Licking Postage Stamps.
As has been frequently stated, upou
reliable authority, the common three
cent postage stamp is poisonous, from
the fact that corrosive sublimate is con
tained in the mucilage used upon them
Recently at Keene, N. H., a young
man was badly poisoned from the fact
that he used his tongue in wetting the
stamps while applying them to about
two hundred envelopes. The poison
had been taken in sufficient quantities
to produce violent pains iu the abdo
men and limbs and other symptoms
of quite an alarming nature.

JOHN MOYEIt,
Administrator of Isaac 1
. Coleman, deceased. j
Congressmen an Office lluikeis.
Phllndplphla Tresit.
The constant Importunity and un
interrupted annoyance to which mem
bers of Congress are subjected by our
present civil-service system is an as
pect of tho ease to which the public
has not given much consideration.
Henator Dawes recently called atten
tion toil In a letter to the Sprlngfiold
Jirjmliliran, to which we have several
times had occasion to refer, hut In
looking back through the files of The
PrcM we are reminded that he was by
no means the first in the field with
this very complaint. Judge Kelley,
then in his tenth year of service as
Representative from the Fourth Phil
adelphia, District, precmptorily de
clined a renomluation from his con
stituents except on condition that he
should no longer be required or ex
pected to perform the distasteful,
thankless and unending labors of an
office broker at Washington. The
correspondenocon this subject between
Judge Kelley and his constituents and
other citizens of Philadelphia may be
found in The Press of March 14,
1870.
In his letter on this occasion Judge
Kelley says that his constituents, and
to a considerable extent the people of
this city at largo, have superadded to
his duties as a Representative the im
possible one of finding places for all
unemployed people of both sexes
known to them, and promotion for all
ambitious or discontented employees
of the Government. He complains
that this has become so common as to
be lusun'erable. Every morning ho is
besieged by the bearers of letters from
good-hearted people to the extent of
fifty or more, each of whom has been
assured that he will get them work
and wages without delay. This, he
says, has been carried on to such an
extent that it precludes the possibility
of social intercourse, correspondence
or study in his home. The disappoint
ment and often destitution resulting
to those who for days and weeks have
been seeking a position under Govern
ment, prompted to the step originally
by a mistaken confidence In his
ability to obtain for them, is painful
to observe, and ho will no longer bo u
party to such practices He proposes
that the nominating Convention shall
approve a proper civil-service bill and
instruct the candidate to make its
principles his rule of action, or that
the Convention shall adopt a resolu
tion deprecating any intcrferance by
Representatives in the selection of
subordinate Government employees.
He insists that he shall be left free, if
elected, to devote his time to the
study of Important questions then at
issue and the support of the great
interests at stake.
Since that time Judge Kelley has
served eleven successive years in the
House of Representatives. How far
the energetic protest he then made
has enabled him in this interval to
avoid the persecutions of oflice-seekers
or the solicitations of their friends we
do uot know. As tho record shows
that he has been able to give time and
attention to the other matters he had
at heart and give the country the ben
efit of his labors, we infer that he has
measurably escaped what Senator
Dawes terms "the most exacting of
all the labors of tho average Congress
man." The subject of civil-service
reform has been much talked of and
much written about of late, and the
next Congress will undoubtedly be
called upon to legislate upon it. Those
members who have no other claim
upon their constituents than their in
dustry aud persistency as ollice bro
kers will doubtless be found opposing
a reform that strikes at the source of
their power. But Judge Kelly dem
onstrated eleven years ago what Sena
tor Dawes but repeats and emphasizes
to-day, that for those who concern
themselves with the real work of leg
islation this enforced office brokerage
is an unalleviuted nuisance. Fortu
nately, it is iu their power to abate
this nuisance effectually by uniting to
secure the passage of a practical meas
ure of civil-service reform. If the
very men who so strongly condemn the
present system will exert themselves
with corresponding energy to improve
it, its reform will soon be an accom
plished fact.
Measuring Building Materials.
The following figures are worth re
membering, as they will save a great
deal of calculation and give approxi
mutely accurate results with a mini
mum of labor: A cord of- stone,
three bushels of lime and a cubic
yard of sand will lay one hundred
cubic feet of wall. Five coursesof brick
will lay one foot in height on a chim
ney. Nine brick in a course will make
a Hue eight inches wide and sixteen
Inches long. Eight bushels of good
lime, sixteen bushels of sand and one
bushel of hair will make enough
mortar to plaster one hundred square
yards. One-fifth more siding and
flooring is needed than the number of
square feet of surface to be covered,
because of the lap in the siding and
matching of the floor. One thousand
laths will cover seventy yards of sur
face, and eleven pounds of lath nails
will nail them on. One thousand
shingles laid four inches to the weather
will cover over one hundred square
feet of surface, and five pounds of
shingle nails will fasten them on
No wonder that Europe is amazed
at the way this country has been pay
ing off its debt. The figures are start
ling even to Americans. At the end
of the war the national debt per capita
was S78.25, and the annual interest
burden $4.20. Now the debt per capita
is $37.74, and the anuual burdeu
$1.58. In the lust sixteen years the
people have paid $1,764,435,000 interest
on the public debt, and 1758.457,805
on the principal, or on account of the
debt altogether, $2,527,092,305.

Qulteau's Petition to bo Released
on Bail.
Washington, August 4. Gulteau's
petition to bo admitted to ball Is In
Rome respects tine of the most remar
kable documents that hat ever been
drawn up for the consideration of nA
Court of Justice. It is now in the pos
session of District Attorney Corkhill,
In whom Oulteau has the most im
plicit confidence and to whom he iu
trusts alt his secret,' If a man who
talks so freely and unreservedly can
be said to have any secrets. Guiteau
Is undoubtedly becoming anxious to
escape the penalty of his crime. It Is
true that he has professed all along to
be perfectly willing to take tho judg
ment of his countrymen. Ho un
doubtedly thought that when he shot
the President he was doing what the
majority of the people of the country
demanded. It may be that he was as
crack-brained as ho protended to be,
and that he labored under the delusion
that Mr. Arthur would protect him
from the gallows on his coming to the
performance of tho duties of the
Presidency. However all this may
be, it Is apparent that now ho has had
enough of Imprisonment, and that lie
has made up his mind that ho will
escape the penalty of the law by the
plea of Insanity. His petition to be
admitted to bail is drawn in legal
form, although as will be seen, there
Is much in it th.it no lawyer would
care to Insert, while there is much
also, that a cunning man, who is de
termined to feign insanity or a man
really insane, would make part of his
application. Should a lawyer be ap
pointed to conduct Guilesu's case this
application will unquestionably be
used as evidence of insauity. Guiteau
iu asking for release on bail expresses
great sorrow that the President has
suffered so much and so long from the
wound he Inflicted. He did not in
tend to cause him pain, but to remove
him from the world in-t:.utly, and he
seems to ask a favorable consideration
from the Judges of the Supreme
Court ot tho District of Columbia be
cause he feels as much sympathy as
anyone for tho suffering President.
He asks his release because he fears
that confinement will make him in
sane. He repel whh scorn the idea
that he is now insane, or that he was
insane wnen he conceived or com
mitted the crime. Ho insists strongly
that he is now sane, but he says that
he feels "the nimbus of insanity
playing around his brain." He then
goes on to reel tc some facts that indi
cate that there is insanity in his
ither's family. He says that his
itlier himself was a religious mono
maniac and that two relatives on his
ither's side have been, and one is
perhaps still, confined in asylums for
he insane. He repeats again and
igain thai he fears that the unaccus
tomed confinement will result in
driving him mad, and he urges his
elease on that ground if no other,
although lie thinks that, under the
circumstances, the President's recov
ery being now regarded as certain,
justice demands that he should be ad
mitted to bail. He offers a bond of
fifteen hundred dollars, although he
says that his own recognizance would
be as good, as he wants to be tried
and would present himself in Court
on the day appointed as certainly as
the day will come, which he suggests
shall be February 1, 1882. He an
nounces that he proposes t) m ilto his
own defense, with competent leg il
assistance. It may be mentioned in
this connection that Guiteau is very
desirious that flist-class legal taleiit
should assist him. Hj says ho wants
none of the riff-raff of the bar, and lie
has more than once suggested that
Emery Storrs shall be his lawyer.
Guiteau wants his temporary release,
not only t hat he may escape impend
ing insanity, but that ho may take a
trip to Europe, where he wishes to
remain a month or two. He is evi
dently still under the impression that
his labor and sufferings demand some
reward, aud that the suggestion that
he ought to have a little recreation
(that is the word used by him) would
receive favorable consideration from
the Court. While in Europe, he says
lie will devote himself to the prepara
tion of a lecture on a political subject,
which he proposes to deliver on his
return to this country. He tells the
Court that he will undoubtedly
"draw" well as a lecturer, and states
that he has been so advised by others.
Guiteau has been convinced, how
ever, that he bad better not be released
on bail. Since drawing his petition
he has begun to realize that it would
not be safe for him to make his ap
pearance in the public streets- He
fears the violence of the mob just as
keenly as he did on the day when he
shot the President, and he has there
fore asked District Attorney Corkhill
to keep the petition and not to present
it to the Court. In accordance with
that request, it is safely locked up in
the District Attorney's office, but its
principal features have been given
above.
