No other receipt is necessary. The waii news from Europe Is very unreliable. It Is certain, however, that there have been several skirmishes and there are rumors of more severe engage ments, but nothing positive In regard to the fact or the result Is known. Itou manla has taken sides with llussln, but as yet nil other nations are neutral. A tkrhiulk accident happened nl Kockford, Illinois on Friday last. As the workmen were raising the finishing stone to the dome of the Court House in process of erection, one of the walls fell, burying a number of tho workmen in the ruins. Ten or twelve men were killed and ns many more seriously injured. The building Is ft complete wreck, and the recovery of the bodies of the dead, and the rescue of the wounded confined by the timbers was a work of great danger. The Philadelphia Korth American says : " Many of the newspapers of the Btate are urging that the railroad companies shall ofler inducements to the people by reducing their fares on certain days to this city, and the suggestion is a good one, and one which we trust will be adopted, since it would bo advanta geous to all parties." We hope the railroads will do no such thing. All parts of the country were bled enough last year to keep them suf ficiently depleted. We don't want any more such drafts made on the country for another hundred years at least, and you will find few merchants outside of Philadelphia who will not bear testi mony to the evil effects of the centennial upon the business of the country. Women as Office Holders. Governor Robinson, of New York,hns vetoed the bill allowing women to hold office on school boards. He says there can be no reason that women should oc cupy these positions rather than the less responsible ones of supervisors, town clerks, justices of the peace and numer ous others. Under the constitution women have no right to vote and it can not be supposed that it is the intention that persons not entitled to the right of suffrage should be eligible to some of the moet important offices in the State. Are They Married? Mr. Tony Fisher of Sing Sing insists that Miss Libble Pnttison on a given day became Mrs. Tony Fisher ; Miss Libbie is ' equally strenuous and emphatic in deni- al ; and the Methodist minister who, ac k'ording to Tony, jerformed the ceremo jny is quoted as saying that he is ready 'to go into court at any moment and make oath that he didn't. Mrs. Knapp, of 367 West Twenty-sev-tnth street. New York, at whose board ing house Tony and Libbie stayed for a few days after the alleged marriage, says that they did not come to her house as husband and wife, and that they occu pied separate rooms. Tony made no claim at that time that Libbie was his wife ; Libbie said that she was not mar ried to him. She further told Mrs. Knapp that, when she got on the train at Sing Sing to come to New York, she was alone; but Tony followed her into the i-ar, and took a seat near her, and kept casting sheep's eyes at her. When she reached New York and went to Mrs. Knapp's, he followed her against her wishes and engaged board in the same house. She paid for her own board; Tony did not even offer to pay for it. Mrs. Knapp thinks that Tony is " not exactly right in his head." Tony belongs to & respectable family, and has always been considered a model young man. His friends scout the sug gestion that he is deranged. Their be lief is that the young lady really married him, but now, for some unknown rea son, Is wick of her bargain and wanta to !at him oft'. She threatened to have him arrested for perjury ,ln making oath that she is his wife,-but as yet has not -arrled her threat into ell'ect. - A Remarkable Murder and Incendiary Case. The urreht of Charles W. Cook and his ttoufesslou of his part in the murder of husan Hanson, in November, l&74,ls the sensation of the day at Brookfleld, New Hampshire and the surrounding sec tloii. The case, which is thus reopened, was a notable one on account of the high (tending of the parties involved and the mystery surrounding it. Miss Hanson, who was one of the most highly esteem ed women in tho town, had been engag ed for several years to Joseph Uuzzell, a wealthy fanner, but a few months before the murder he married another, and Miss Hanson sued hint for breach of promise. On the evening before the case was to be tried, as Miss Hanson was sitting in her kitchen, a charge of buckshot was fired through the window, killlngherln stantly. Suspicion naturally rested on Buzzell, and he was tried, but acquitted from lack of convicting evidence. Last spring several barns of persons who tes tified against Uuzzell were burned by in cendiary fires, and, ns suspicion pointed to Cook, who had worked for Buzzell,he was arrested Saturday, when ho made a clean breast, not only of the arson but also of the murder of Susan Hanson. He declares that, while he fired the fa tal shot, liuzzell was the instigator; that he offered him ?f0O fordoing it, and that when Cook's heart failed him threatened to kilt him If he did not fire. Uuzzell and his wife have been arrested, and also JoiuUhun Sanborn (Chttlrinan of thecoun ty commissioners, ns an accessory. An Interesting legal question arises as to the disposition of nu.zcll, as, by statute, n man cannot ty) tried tho second time for the same offense, and some think he can be tried only as an accessory in the ar son case. There is also somo doubt as to the course to, bo taken with Cook,asIUi. Jicll cannot bo convicted as accessory to the murder or arson with Cook's turning State's evidence, which would exempt him from the penalty for murder. Terrible Mine Disaster. St. Claik, Pa., May 0. A terrible ex plosion of givsoccurred in the Wadesville mines, near St. Clair, at about 10 o'clock this morning, killing and wounding nine men and imprisoning five others. The Wadesville shaft, which is 800 feet deep, is situated between Tottsvlllo nud St. Clalr,and is operated by the Philadelphia and Hauling coal company. The first warning of an accident was tho sudden alarm sent up to the bosses for aid. De scending Immediately ,they recovered the bodies of John Durkcn and Wm. Kirk, w ho were killed outright, and hoisted them to tho surface. Seven more men were then reached, all seriously burned, and it Is thought thrco of them cannot possibly recover. Thomas Connors, among tho last of tho men brought out, had his head and both legs blown off. His brains and portions of his head were brought up In his dinner kettle. Herbert Moore, another of the last vic tims, presented a frightful appearance. His face and body were dreadfully burn ed and disfigured ; every hair was burned off his head. John Durkin was thrown with great violence against props and walls and was instantly killed. Edward Weaklin, one of the miners who escaped, describes tho gas' after it ignited as Hying through the mine with lightning rapidity and destroying every thing that came in its way. .Weaklin was loading a car, and on hearing the re port, quickly stepped aside and laid down and tho gas passed over him. Thrco of the men who had been instant ly killed had been working only twenty yards from him. It was with much dif ficulty ho escaped, crawling over fallen timbers and coal. It soon became neces sary to fan fresh air in the mine, so foul had the gas become that those sent to rescue the men could only work at short intervals and then come out. Curiosities of Lawsuits. In Boston, a girl was engaged to a man who jilted her. This was ten years ago. She married somebody else. Re cently she became a widow, and now she sues the original suitor, because he will not keep the old promise. In Minneapo lis, a man is the complainant. He de clares that his pocket nd his feelings have suffered an injury equal to $10,000 by tho refusal of a wealthy widow to marry him. She promised to do so, and he gave up his business of liquor selling to please her, thus causing his bank ruptcy. In Montreal, a woman of forty failed to secure a verdict against a boy of eighteen, ire proved that he had never meant nor promised to marry her, but had regarded her rather in the light of a motherly adviser. C3T In Allegheny the other night a lady supposed that a burglar was in her house. She called for help, which promptly ar rived In the persons of two men. One of them entered the building from the front and the other from the rear to intercept the supposed burglar. While groping through the dark hallway one of tho in dividuals discovered what he thought was tho lntruder,and immediately struck him oyer the head with a gas pipe. Tho other man grasped his assailant, dragged him to the porch and threatened to throw him to the ground, supposing him to be a burglar, when the discovery was made that the struggle had been between the two friends who bad responded to the lady's cries for assistance. They after ward procured a light and searched the premises for the burglar but were una ble to find auy. . , The Rev. f. M. Btrathaui says in the Loudon Quiver that, though not a teetotaler, he Is an earnest temperance man, and it staggers him to think that thd British public has in eght years drunk liquor to the amount of 800,000,. 000, which is more than the national debt. So unpopular, he says, is the sub ject, that" the leading writers of Eng land touch very tenderly on this dark spot in the history of the most drunken nation under the sun. To take the very lowest ground, this expenditure is," he says, " extravagance, and leads to that mortgnge of the morrow which robs men of their peace of heart. Extrava gance means begging, borrowing, stenl ing, and it Is seen on all feldcs." - - - - - Miscellaneous News Items.
