Levi P. Morton.
Hi re are a cuplc of incidents that illu
tra'e the kind of a man Levi P. Morton is:
His lather was a poor preacher, getting
only j-" "1 a year. Not being able to school
the voting man nor start him in business.
Levi started out forliimself. He first clerk
ed, anil worked Lis way up till he became a
partner in the dry goods firm of lieebe, Mor
ton A Co., lloston. - His connection with
this continued till 1-.51. w hen he moved to j
New York and f lunded the dry g.ods house
of Morton A Griiincll. This firm became j
financially involved at the beginning ol the
war. and eomportnd-d with its creditor at j
.V. cent on the dollar. Mr. Morton, not iu
the iea-l d scouraged. established a tanking j
house in Is.;. He rn-j ie money rapidly, j
and S.KUI attained prominence in financial J
circle. One day the late creditors of the
firm of Morton ,V. Grinnel! received an invi
tation from Mr. Morton to dine with hiru.
When ihey sat down al dinner eai.-h man
found heiie-atii his pla'.c a check signed by
Mr. Morton for an amount of money that
paid their claim in full with interest. Mr.
Morton was not legally bound to iiy Ihe
money and his honorable conduct in the mat
ter therefore won him many friends.
In Is) congress, moved by the suffering
in Ireland, placed the s'jip Constellation at
Ihe di-p,sal of any one willing to send relief
that a:llicted land.. Same weeks aft erward
Mr. Morton learned tlmt no oT.-r bad been
made to lou ! the vessel. Thereupon he ad-dr.-s.sl
a letter lo Tr. JlrM l in which he
said : " You are aut!ioriz;-d to announce that
a g-.'tillema.i known to you. who devlines to
have his name made public, otfers to j.ay
for one-quarter of the cargo of the Constella
tion if other jariies will make the balance."
At the srirse time he had determined to
furnish the entire cargo if tiiere was any de
lay in s-.-uring oliier aid. Tiie proprietor of
F'if ens. however, an! W. R. Grace con
tributed each one quarter, and other gentle
men furnished the remainder. The people
of Xe York recall the Rwkaway Beach
Improvement troubles iu the summer of
lsso. when cr.H workmen were unable to eb
tain their wages because of ihe financial ruin
in wiiie-n the gigantic hotel enterprise had
been involed. Certificates ef indebtedness
were issued to the workmen, but they were
useless to the men. who needed food for
their wives and children. At this juncture
Mr. Morton joinied the bouse of Drexel,
Morgan Co., and each contribute.! 5ii.tj0
for the relief ol the workingmcn. They paid
the full amount of the certificates and de
clined lo accept any discount.
Another Wrinkle In the Law.
Martin Grubc, the proprietor of tbe Han
tingdon distillery, whose application for a
retail licen-e was refused by the court, ap
plied lo County Treasurer Rogers for a retail
license, and it was granted. This is said to
be in conformity with an act of Assembly
of October, lsli. It is said that a decision
of the Preside-nt Judge of Somerset county
encouraged Mr. Grube to take this action.
We have not beard whether the question
will be carried to the Supreme Court. Uit the
granting of the license must be very bad law
as it defeats the intention of the Court en

Paint Items.
Too much rain.
Ba.1 weather to make bay.
The wheat c-rop in this township, judging
from present appearance, will be immense.
It promises to I tar better than for a num
ber of vears.
Watermelons are very plentiful in Johns
town, dreat honors await the man who
will invent a watermelon with all the seeds
condensed into one end.
' Peffer S-mlie" is on deck again. He is
second best to John L. Sullivan, and can
Ihresfi half a den common-siied men if
they are ten miles away from him.
Several farmers itereanouts have recently
bad a number of sheep killed by dogs. If j
the dogs are marked, how would you catch j
them to examine the mark to find out who j
ow ns them ? I would mark them with tur- j
key shot, and in that manner soon find out
who did own them. j
It is expected that Prof. W. H. Cover, of I
Berlin, a graduate of Huntingdon College, j
will open a normal school in tiie Weaver j

"You May Sien or Die.
Ia it isvti.Lr, Jul

M. Pulliaui, who on Friday killed James A.
Miller, a wealthy farmer at Hardinsbuig.
i Kentucky, e-ame up be-fore a cotuiiy Magis
trate this morning at tb.it place. I'ulliam
waived an examination and went lo jail
without bail. It has Uen discovered ine
the killing that when I'ulliam and Miller
went together into i'uliiaui's office, puliiiim
submitted to Miller for signatures statement
that he had been criminally intimate with
Mr. P.iiliani, and that in consideration of
that fact he would pay I'ulliam $.5.ii. The
statement wss in ink in I'u'iinm s w riling.
Be low, in pencil and leaviirg a spure for the
signature, were tbe words iu tbe same hand :
'I will give you five iiiinu'e lo e-f::sr-ler
this. You may sign or die." This pa; r
was found under Miller's spectacles on I'ull
iam' table just after the shooting. The
fcr ling U very hitter sgainst Puiliam, and
there is ome talk of violence. j
Pulliam's past record is bad. He was a I
saliM.n keejcr at Cltverjmrt a number of 1
years ago, and his place was the resort of J
women of questionable repute. He la-Cume j
acquainte-J w ith Mo'lic S. Miller, the daugh- !

atesl with Puliiam an.l marries! him in pite j
of her father's objection. Twice Ihey have j

M altreated by Mormons.
Cuic.100, July 15. A !e-facetl little
woman giving her name as ElizaUth Tnin
bull Ratter, formerly of No-th Shields, Eng

parentiy fainting from hunger. She claim
ed to have had nothinu to eat on her four
days' trip from Ogden. I'tah, to Chicago, en !
route to her oM home in r.ugland. Mie told
a terrible story of exiterieiKsa among the
Mormons. Her young son, she stated, had
been induced, against the whise of his par
ents, to join a party of emigrants org-nizeil
by Mormon missionaries in England. Not
hearing from the Uy, who. it was afterward
learned, bad been prevented by elders from
writing, the father, frantic with anxiety, fol
lowed to Flab. He found employment with
a Mormon farmer named Joseph HoIUrt,
but was unable to save enough to help con
tinue the search nnti! pretending to join the
church. Then Rutler got money an.l sc-nt
some to her. but all bis letters telling of the
condition of affairs in I'tah wereintercejties!, j
and others substituted urging tier to come 10
I'tah wiih the missionaries. She obej'ed. I
and claims the women in the party were I
subjected to fearful indignities en nKite by
the elders. Butter was rnunlered shortly
after she joined him. He had inadvertently
given a youn Mormon an inkling of his
plans to find his bor and escape with his
wife. Tlie Mormons asserted that Batters
dentil was acrMcutal. She was defrauded
by Holbert of her husband's savinirs, but
Seeing to OOLfen earned enough money work
ing in a bote) to iay her passage home. Tiie
amount of railroad tare was larger tlian slie
expected, and sooner than delay longer she
had deprived herself of food oa the long
journey to Chicago.

AsiiEviLH. X. C, July 1,"-A rumor
reached liere yesterday tiiat a rape iial been
committed on S&liie Kate Parker, a white
giri, 13 years old, by a negro man in the
northern suburb of the city. The police
were notified, and the country and town was
s arched closely r tbe guilty party. About
') o'chjrk last night a negro named John
Humphreys was arreted un.Ier strong sus
picion. The girl had stated that the negro
liail on a striped shirt and was barefooteiL
Vlien arrested Humphreys bad on a white
shirt and shoes, but it was ascertained that
he had taken ofTa striped and pat on a white
one and bad put on shoes. He was made to
pat on a striped shirt and take off tbe shoes
and was taken at once into tbe presence of the
girl, who identified him immediately. Tbe
negro was tlien locked np in the city cala
boose. Considerable excitement prevailed
at the lime, andjhreats of lynching were
heard. In order lo avoid this at 1 o'clock
this morning Ihe negio was put in the steel
cage of the county jail.
Aliout 3.15 k. . a hand of from twenty-
live to forty ma-ked men came to the jail j
and before IVpnty Sheriff James Worley,
who bad the jail in chanre, was aware of it
tliey were in the jail. He grabbed a pin,
ran to tbe top of the steps and opened tire
on the puund. The fire.was returned by a
shower of bullets. The wallsof the jad show
that there was considerable firing, but no
one was hurt as far as ascertained. Worley
was overpowered, but would not give the
combination to the cage lock. The mob, be
ing prepared w ith sledge hammers and crow
bars, literally lore Ihe cage to pieces occupy
ing fully an hour in doing it, and took the
n.'gro out and hung him to a tree about a
quarter of a niiie from the jail. As scion as
released, SiieritT Worley rang the fire be!!,
and. headini: a pos.-, tried lo recover the
prisoner, but was eluded by Ihe mob. j
The girl was waylaid on lier way from j
town in a hollow in the woo. Is. The neirro j
crept up behind her and choked her down, j
The girl's throat and face were torn w ith hi ;
linger nails, and the ground wheretheaspoult :
was made showed signs of a hard struggle, j
It is rumored that the negro made a fuil con- i
fession of his gulf before he was hanged.

A Fatal Case of Politics.
IsnuxAPoLis, July 1.5. A fight growing
out of a poiiti.-al dispute, this afternoon, re
sulted in fatally wounding of William il.inn
a fellow whose pugnacious di-.sition has
frequently bn.ught him before the Indianap
olis police Courts. This afternoon he ap-
pruaihod a gnjup of men on the street, and
addressing one of them. Frank Eirr.shaw. !
began cursing General Harrison. As the f-l-
low was drunk no attention was paid to him j
except to tell him that no one cared what he j
thought of Harrison. Then he wanted to j
fight Eanishaw, and determined to have a j
row.
Finaily he declare.! that he was a g.Ki
IVm. -rat, and Could Ibrasu tbe whole
crowd. "Can you?" indifferently asked
Robert Har.fcrre. one of the group, and iru
mediately Putin struck him iu the face. As
