fairlv in the field as a candidate for
tbe 'Democratic nomination. In re-!
ppon'-e to the action of the Democrat
ic convention of Indiana county,
which instructed its delegates to sup
port him in the State Convention, he
sent the following dispatch:

The most perfect illustration of an
engineer being "hoist with his own
petard," is afforded by the quarrel j the Democratic falsehoods, about the
among the Democratic swallow-tails , frauds perpetrated in the State Treas
over the investigation of our State ; urv.
Treasury. For years the Democrat

Democratic "blow-hards'' fell back

and voucLcr3. Again was public
opinion misled, and the Democratic
appetite whetted for "startling dis
closures'' until expectation wearied
of standing lip-toe, and the press
commenced demanding from Mr.
Temple nt least, a taste of the deli
eious morciou l.c was preparing for
their delectation. "otably among
these aDiious journals was the Y.
World, which having been fooled to
the top of its bent, began to grow vo
ciferous in its demands for the long
promised exposure, and finding that
pereistency availed it not, at last be
gan "to tm ell a mice," and as a
means cf extricating itself from an
awkward dilemma, intimated that the
immaculate, bran ceT Auditor Gen
eral Temple Lad fullen a victim to
the persuasive powers of Treasurer
Mackey's "promises to pay." There
upon the fine phrensy of the Ilarris
burg J'alrvA became ludicrously in
imitable, and it then and there went
for the scalp lock cf the doubting
T-omas, of the World. To it the
JiyrM replica that the mcphitie at
mosphere of llarrisburg teemed w'uh
suspicion that the Patriot itself for a
consideration well secured, had be
come a slave of the Treasury, and a
confidential organ of Mr. Mackey:
whereupon our friends of the Patriot
permitted their wrath to slop over,
and not being alle to sate their in
dignation v. ith mere words, sardon
ically but deliberately read the World
out of the party.
This is a very pretty fight as it
stand?, and should it result fatally to
either party we have the consclation
of knowing that it is "not our funer-
al.
We tell the tale of this battle
of tLe vrgaus r.s we gather it from
their own columns. TLe moral is not
Lard to Cud. TLe charges against
the integrity of the Treasurer were
utterly fulse, neither the "smelling
com in it toe'' cor Auditor General
Temple eou! 1 truthfully assert to the
contrary, and so failing to make good
the charges by which the public was
misled and fearing to admit their ut
ter untruthfulness, the Democratic
engineers have been "hoist with their
own petard.''
Ir is not a little amusing to observe
how lovinglv the Democratic journals
of this State vat the Temperance
ticket on the cheek, and how they do
admire the high moral character, and
undoubted ability of thn gentlemen
composing it.
The labored nonchalance too with
which they always speak of it as a
wing of the Republican party, makes
the small cunning of the dodge to
influence Democratic voters against
it, exquisitely absurd.
The only Lope for Democratic suc
cess in this State is bv a division of
the Republican forces, hence the ef
fort to rive credence to the idea that
the Temperance ticket is in reality a
Republican one, and that therefore
the party is divided.

Add to this the signal failure of the
last House of Representatives, the
tenacious persistence of small politi

and the Wallace-Ruckalew fight, and
the Republicans are almost assured
of a victory in advauce.

ticians stand aghast with disappoint-1
ment becaaie ttey counted on a prov- i
en Ireasurv deucit to carry the next
election, and now their hobby has
faded from their visions.
There have been more demagogism
and dramatic political demonstrations
on the Treasury question than the
citizen of average common sense is
inclined to make love to. Men have
been told so often and so vehemently
that "there's millions in it"' if the true
deficit of the Treasury is ever ascer
tained, that the legislative poor devils,
whe have gono on a hunt for the bot
tomless hole in the Treasury, will
have trouble to explain why they
have missed one of such boundless
dimensions. The Times h&s receiv
ed scores upon scores of letters pro
pounding all manner of inquiries as
to the alleged defalcation in the State
Treasury, and some complaining that
we have not denounced Treasury
thieves along with reservoir and high
way jobbers, councilmanic mercena
ries and Pilgrim ballot stuffers. They
are forgetful that when the 2'imc.i as
sails officials it is Erst impregnable in
its position, and is fully prepared for
the fullest vindication of its accusa
tions. We have not alleged a defal
cation in the State Treasury because
we do not believe that there is one,
or has been one during the terms cf
any of our late State Treasurers. If
there had been a deficit in the State
Treasury under Mr. Mackav, as has
been intimated in every political cam
paign for several years past, it would
have been demonstrated long ago by
men who felt charged with just such
duties, and had the position, the in
telligence and the integrity to perform
them. For the three years ending in
1874 the finance committee of the
Senate Lad the most intimate knowl
edge of the Gnancial affairs of the
State, and the actual condition cf the
Treasury. The editor cf the Times
was a member of the Senate, and
from the tirre of his admission in
1872, curing Lis fiid term, was a
member of that committee. In 1872
it consisted of Senators Graham
Rrooke, Strang, allace, J urman,
and McClure. after his admission:
during the sssion of 1873 it conist
ed of Senators Graham. Rutan, Wal
lace, Strang and McClure, and in
1874 the names of Warfel and Mc
Sherry were added. It was one of
the few committees whose reports
were never reversed in the Seuate,
and it is safe to say that the fidelity
of its actions was never questioned
in or out of the body. It looked well
after the financial condition of the
Sfnti Wliilrt tl,f limine was pre
sumed to be the pro)er legislative au
thority on questions of revenue and
appropriations, tnc Senate was in
point of 1 -ft the body that moulded
all such measures, and the officials of i
the State were brought before the
Senate committee whenever any
question was in doubt. That com
mittee, without ostentatious Uispiay
of its efforts, and looking to tbc inter
ests of the State rather than to polit
ical clap-trap, made searchii.g exami
nation into ail matters touching the
integrity of the Treasury. In that
committee there was no political dis
cussion, nor did the decision of any
question ever assume a part' aspect;
but it faithfully performed its duties,
and when it failed to move au inqui
ry into the Treasury, it was the very
best evidence that there was not even
an apparent error to correct or ex
plain. There are records of that com
mittee that have never been unsealed,
and probably never wiM be; not be
cause there was any guilt to screen,
but because its efforts to establish
guilt or dissipate suspicion would at
times have been unjust to individuals
if made public.
Tbe American RiO?ni?a.
Belfast, July 7. The shooting
for the cup presented by tLe Mayor
and citizens of Belfast took place to
day. Col. Gilderslceve won the cup
over twenty-four opponents.
DETAILS OF THE SHOOTING.
Belfast, July 7. The contest for
the Mayor's and Citizens' Cup was
held on the range on Lord Dufferin's
grounds the distance was 1,000 yards.
Each man was allowed five shots,
the highest possible score being
twenty.
Several thousand persons witnesses
the shooting. All the members of
the American Team and the reserves
took part.
The contest was exciting, especial
ly toward the close. The result was
doubtful up to the last shot.
Col. Gilderslecve, Mr. Lee, of Bel
fast, and Mr. Johnson, of Dublin,
made remarkably line shots.
When all had fired their five shots
each, the score was announced as fol

The tie between America and Ire

to the terms agreed upon, the men
had three shots apiece. Each shot
was watched with breathless interest,
The result was again a tie, Gilder
sleeve's and Lee's scores being x
actly alike. Each made two bull's
eyes and a centre, counting eleven.
Tbe excitement rose to fever heat.
As they began to shoot off the sec
ond tie both men were cheered vo
ciferously. The final result wa-; a victory for
Gilderslecve, who made three bull's-
eyes in succession, scoring twelve.
Lee made ten.
1 be victorious American was
wildly applauded by the excited spec
tators. In the course of the shooting for
the cup, Bodine, Dakin, and Cole
man, of the American Team, made
misses and were obligerr"to retire, in
accordance with a rule which re
quires tbe withdrawal of any man
who misses the target. A considera
ble number of the Irish competitors
also retired under the rule, including
Wilson, a crack shot.
The enthusiasm in Belfast for
the Americans shows no signs of
abatement.

Attempt to Rb an eipre Car.
Cincinnati, July 0 A dispatch
to the superintendent of the Adams
express company states that a des
perate attempt to ob Express Mes
senger I'urkc was made at Lcngj
Point, Illinois, on the Vandalia rail
road last Dight. The engine and ex
press car were cut loose and the
engineer killed. Durke barricaded
the doors and kept Xhs fibbers at bay
until help arrived. j

Point, Illinois, on the Yandalia rail-
road, where the attempted express
robbery occurred, is situated in the
middle of a dense woods, no person
bein? within a mile and a half of the
station. Last Dight at midnight,
when passenger train No. 5, bound
cast, Conductor Fraley and engineer
Milo Ames in charge, stopped at the
water tank two men boarded the en
gine, one from each side, and ordered
the engineer to start the engine. The
engineer, tfcer a few moments hesita
tion, obeyed tbe order. After the
starting of the train, one of the rob
bers remarked "we will run the thing
ourselves," and immediately both
robbers fired at the engineer, killing
him instantly.
The fireman, who was standing
upon the tender, ran to tho rear of
the train to alarm the train men, he
having heard the conversation and
comprehended the situation at once.
While this was taking place on the
engine a confederate of the robbers
had detached tbe Adams express car
from the cars ia tbe rear.
The whole party of robbers then
ran the train to a point about two
miles from the station, where they
stopped, and proceeded to tbe door
of the express car and demanded ad
mittance. The express messenger,
Mr. Burke, told them he was ready
for them and if they entered they
would be dead men.
The robbers then commenced Gr'ng
into the car, and the messenger says
it seemed to him that there were a
dozen of them, as the shots came
from all sides. The conductor and
train men, seeing the position of af
fairs, set about to pursue the robbers,
but could find only one revolver on
the train. They however discovered
two soldiers armed with carbines,
asd with these weapons the train
nun and soldiers started after the
robbers. When they came up to the
train ail was quiet, the robbers hav
ing fled. They found the dead body
cf the engineer on the floor of tbe cab.
A freight train engineer, named
Jack Yandergrift, happened to be "'n
the train and he and the fireman ran
the engine back to the train and
brought it iu. The robbers failed to
rrain entrance to the express car; it
beinrr one of the close kind having
no windows and being very strong in
every way. Had they detached the
American express car, which was
immediately in the ."ear of th Adams
express car, they might have accom
plished their purpose, as it is an open
car having windows.
f? ou a Liquor Seller.
CiiiAMEis, Ohio, July C. For
some days past a warm conflict has
been iroing on in Westerville, in this
county, between the eitizen3 of the
village and one Henry II. Corbin,
who recently opened a liquor saloon
within the corporate limits. Until
yesterday the war has been one of
words, but last night some persons
unknown placed gunpowder under
the saloon building, and, by means
of a fuse, the charge was fired about
midnight, casuing an explosion which
demolished the doors and windows,
and raised the roof four inches. To
day, upon Corbin's application, war
rants were issued for the arrest of
tbe preachers of the various churches
of Westerville, the Postmaster, and
four other citizens. The warrants
charge the parlies designated, and
others who are unknown, with riot
ous conduct in assaulting upon Cor
bin's saloon on the night of tbe 2d
iust. Otterbicn University is located
in Westerville, and for many years
no saloon has been allowed to exist
in the town. The excitement of the
people is very great, and both sides
of the controversy seem determined
not to surrender.
Columbus July 7. The parties for
whom writs were issued yesterday
charged with rioting in attemptihg to
destroy a saloon in esterville, ap
peared in the justice court in this
place to-day, accompanied by over
200 friends, among whom were near
ly 100 ladies who marched from the
court room in procession. Tbe de
fendants were anxious to proceed to
trial, but as the prosecutor declared
he was not ready, they waived an ex
amination, and were bound over in
the sum of $.')00.
The people of Westerville arc fierce
in their denunciations of Corbin, the
saloon keeper, and declare he placed
the powuer in bis store which par
tially demolished his store on Monday
night.
Tbe Weather.
Sr. Ltit is, July 7. The St. Louis
Kansas City aud Northern Railroad
has been badly damaged by the
heavy rains, which have caused a
freshet in Chariton river. The track
near Brunswick was submerged for
several miles, and is wasneu out in
a number of places along the line.
Tbe river al this point is quite high
and the water appeared in tbe streets
of Last .Sf. Louis. A rise of another
footer so will inundate part of the
town.
The PiiwMican's Kansas Citv
special savs: On the line of the
North Missouri Road near Bruns
wick, miles of the track are under
water, and the road is abandoned.
No trains have passed since Sunday,
and it will be impossible for them to
run before Friday. Hundreds of
hogs, cattle and horses have been
drowned, and farmers have sustained
heavy losses by tke ravages of the
flood, which far surpasses even that
of 1 S44. Yesterday a train was sent
out from Brur.S A'ick, laden with boats,
to rescue people who were imprison

In a fcewer of a Prison.
Albany, July 9. While workmen
were engaged lately in clearing the
main sewer under the Dannamond
prison they came upon a skeleton of
a man lying at tbe bottom of tbe
sewer and submerged in the filth.
An examination, after it had been re
moved, revealed the fact almost be
yond doubt that the remains were
those of Eiikins, the Albany express
robber, who had died there after es
caping from the corridors of the
prison down through one of the
water closets, in the vain hope cf re
gaining his liberty, by passing
through the Fewer and out at its

New York, July 10. Tbe steamer
from Panama brings later details of
tbe great earthquake in South Amer
ica. Cucuta is in ruins, not a sin
gle house remaining. The killed arc
calculated at 5,000. Rosaris, San
Antonio, Capacho, Guasimo, San
Juan de Urna, San Cayetano, San
Cayetano, San Cristobal, Tariba,
Lobatera, Lagrita and adjoining vil
lages are in complete ruins. Salazan
suffered severely, and the adjoining
country is nearly devastated. Cbi
nacota, Chapo, Pampaloua, Cucutilla,
Arboledas, Santiago, Gallindo and
Gramalote have also been great suf
ferers. The number of the dead in
Cucuta is calculated at three-quarters
of the entire population. The
few families saved on the outskirts of
what was tbe city, but they will
soon be obliged to retire, as the pu
trefaction of the dead will not allow
them to remain. It is heartrending
to see the wounded who have no
care and who cannot remain long
alive in their present condition.
Thieves and robbers sweep down on
the ill-fated city, and hardly a single
safe has been saved from the custom
house. The pillage is general. Four
hundred mules were killed in tho
streets, and as there is no one to re
move them tbe stench is becoming
frightful. The storehouse at Puerto
do Los Cachos was sacked and
burned by bandits. In Piedecuesta
ihetown ball is destroyed, and in
Pampaiona the cathedral is in ruins.
Tbe Venezuela side has suffered, if
possible, more severely than the
Colombian. Ten thousand dollars
were sent to-day from this city for
the relief of the sufferers.
Terrible Crime In Illinois.
St. Louis, July G. A little Ger
man girl named Schmidt, aged seven
years, was outraged aud killed near'
(J I alien, Illinois, Sunday night. It
appears that the people in that vil
lage had been celebrating the Fourth
in a grove near by, and in the even
ing, when Mr. Scbmidt, the father cf
tbe child, was ready to go home he
could not find his daugn'.er. Search
was immediately made and continued
until about three o'clock yesterday
morning, when the body of the child
was found in the grass near the fence
adjoining the road leading from the
grove. A man named James Hogan
was arrested in East St Louis last
night on suspicion of being the guil
ty party, and taken to O'i alien. In
tense excitement prevailed in that
vicinity, and fears are entertained
that Hogan will be lynched.

A Tragedy In Srraotou.
SciiANTON, Pcnn., July 9. A
hocking murder was committed in
the Fifth Ward of this city last night,
the victim being a young man named
Frank Doud, who was slabbed in
tbe abdomen with a butcher's knife
by a companion named Waiter hit
taker. The 6tabbing occurred on the
public street in a locality known as
Boone Hill, where tnc murderer anc
his victim have resided for several
years. Doud and Whittaker, although
boon companions, had been rival
suiters for the hand of a young wo
man named McNamara, to whom
tbe murderer was especially attached.
In the afternoon they met and in
dulged in a war of words, during
which the young lady's nanu was
freely mentioned. Doud declared
that he would take her away from all
rivals, and thi3 so incensed Wh'tta
ker that he became desperate, and
going to his home, armed himself
with a butcher's knifo, which he con
cealed in his boot, swearing that be
would take tho life of Fraud Doud
as soon as he met him. They met
in Washburne street in the evening,
when Whittaker plunged the fatal
knife into his victim and then ran off,
leaving Doud lying on tbe road with
his intestines protruding. He died
about midnight. The assassin fled
to the adjacent woods, and was close
ly pursued by the people of Boone
Hill, who turned out and gave chase,
searching- every house and nook in
the neighborhood without avail, until
this morning, when the fugitive was
captured at Newton Centre, about
eight miles distant, and brought back
to the city. Ha had a preliminary
hearing before Mayor McKune this
afternoon, and was committed to
await trial at the next term of the
court, to be held at Wilkesbarre, on
tbe charge of killing Francis Doud.
The affair has created a good deal of
excitement in this vicinity.
Outrages by Tramps.
St. Louis, July 7 .About five
o'clock yesterday evening two Ger
man laborers visited the bouse of Mr.
Geisler, near Carsonvi'le, about nine
miles west of this city, and in a very
rough manner demanded wine. Geis
ler produced some, which the men
drank, ami then asked for more,
which wa3 refused. Geisler also
sent one of his children for Mr.
Schulcnberg, his son-in-law, who
was working in a field. On Schulen
berg's arrival at the house, he order
ed the nun to leave the plaee, which
they refused to do, and assaulted
and gave him a severe beating.
Schulenberg's cries for help brought
a man from a field to his assistance.
After being released from bis assail
ants he got a shot gun from the house
and drove the men from tbe place
Not long after, however, the men re
turned and again attacked Schulen
berg, one of them with a knife, where
upon Schulenberg seized a heavy hoe
leaning against a fence and dealt the
man a terrible blow on the beau, in
flicting a wound from which he died
in a short time. This county and
St. Clair county, opposite this city.
in Illinois, seem to be full of riotous
and blood-thirsty farm laborers.
Scarcely a day passes that some out
rage is not committed by them.
Harder by His Step-son.
Poiit Jervis, N. Y., July C A
terrible domestic tragedy was enact
ed in this village last evening about
11 o'clock. O. G. Griswold,! a citi
zen of this village, was killed by his
stepson Ezra Huntingdon, a young
man about twenty-five years of age,
who shot bim with a pistol, causing
instant death. There had previously
been a fight between them, in which
Huntingdon, who was intoxicated,
was beaten in a shameful manner,
and ejected from the house. A few
minutes afterward be returned and
perpetrated the murder. He made
no attempt to escape, and was at
once arrested. An inquest was held
to-day, and a verdict of willful mur
der returned. This sad affair has
cast a deep gloom over the communi
ty, and the sympathies of all are
given to the family. Huntingdon
was taken to Goshen to-day, and will
probably bo tried at tbe next term of
court.
The Recent Floods in Europe.
London, July 8. To-day's Times
contains a letter from Luda-Pestb
confirming the previous reports of
the destructive character of the re
cent storms in that vicinity, but re
ducing the number of lives lost from
that Grst stated It says the bodies
of twenty-eight persons have been
found and over 100 people are known
to be missing. It is probable that
many other persons of tbe poorer
classes, who are missiug have not
been reported. Tbe loss of life,
therefore, cannot be accurately as
certained. 1 he destruction oi prop
erty on tbe mountain slopes was
likewise fearful. Tone of the villas
on upper ground entirely escaped.
Hundreds of people are destitute and
homeless. Subscriptions have been
opened for their relief, aud they are
being liberally responded to.
Serious Fanie.
SpniXGFiELD. Mass., July 11.
During a performance in Music Hall
in estlield. on featuruay night, a
slight explosion of gas took place un:
der tbe stage, whereupon an alarm
of fire was raised, and the audience
rushed for the doors and windows,
in the galleries jumping to the floor
and others hanging out tbe windows,
ready to drop to the ground if neces
sary. A coolheaded man, however,
jumped upon a seat and shouted
"there is no fire," while large num
bers soon got out into tbe street, and
the jam at tho doors and windows
was relieved. Tbe audience soon
returned to the performance. During
the panic several women fainted, and
a number of persons werequ'te badly
crushed.
' Fire Arms Folly.
The criminal folly of allowing
children to play with firearms had
another practical demonstration in
the Thirteenth ward, yesterday af
ternoon. Two little boys, brothers,
Thomas and John Heil, aged respec
tively seven and four years, whose
parents reside on Green street, ob
tained a cartridge-shooting revolver
belonging to an elder brother, and at
about half-past, two o'clock went
with a party of companion? to do
some shooting. Tbe elder of the
Heils was handling tbe weapen, when
the youner stepped in front of him
and received the ball in his right
side, below tbe last floating rib. The
wounded child was conveyed io his
home, and Dr. D. Carnman examined
bis injury. The latter is of the opin
ion that nothing could be done, as it
would be dangerous to probe for the
ball, and that the child was not like
ly to recover. At about half-past
five the patient vomited up tbe ball,
showing that the stomach had been
penetrated. ' Pittsburgh Commerl

Tlie Alexander Sale.
The Cincinnati Ewjuirer gives
some accoiint of the Alexander sale,
held at the: Woodburu Farm, near
Lexington, Ky., June 23. It says:
"Twenty-three h-d, under the ring
ing tones of the auctioneer, brought
the enormous sum of $21,15."), simply
becarse they were either the full
brothers or sisters, or relatives to
some distinguished' tutf winner.
Could any speculation, even tbe
wildest Bio'ck operations, be mdrc ab
surd than this enthusiastic extrava
gance ? Imagine parties, assembled
from nearly every State in the Union,
eager to purchase there untried year
lings, giving $4,000 for one colt sim
ply5 because he is a brother to tbe
successful race mare Madam Dudley,
and $1,400 for another little fellow
simply because he is tbe sop of import

tbe harbor of Valparaiso, at lest forty
boys belonging to the training ship
were drowned, between twenty and
