Simpson & Hons, proprietors of the Eddystone Print works, near Chester, says that the Wood Tarill bill, if passed, will increase the cost of chem icals used in their works over $77,000 annually, the calculation being based on the amount used in 1877.

Toronto, Ont., March 19. Shortly after midnight the mob advanced up Queen street and attacked CoBgrove's tavern. The crowd inside answered with revolvers, and the rioters returned the fire. Hundreds of shots were exchanged here, and stones poured into the tavern until the window sashes and furniture were completely demolished. The po lice, ninety 6U'ong, charged the mob and wielded their batons with great vigor. Four men were Bitot here, and one a young Protestant, named James Clegg, it is feared was fatally wounded. Mean time another mob, 1,000 strong, opened fire with stones upon Collins' tavern, further up Queen street, where Rossa was believed to be lurking. Revolvers were used here, but the police, fighting with matchless pluck against enormous odds, cleared the street. Rossa was driven out of town at 11 o'clock. Policeman Worth was struck on the temple with a stone, and knocked senseless. All his comrades were more or less injured. Probably 150 rioters were Injured with stones and police batons. The doctors' offices are crowded with wounded, though, as a rule, the injured are taken away to avoid arrest. Huudreds of roughs are still congregated in the lanes and back streets, and the police are parading the streets in force. Russian Captures During the War. From recently published official re turns It appears that between the day ou which war was declared and the signing of the armistice, the Russian army of the Danube captured IS pashas, 1111,000 officers and men, 00(1 guns of dld'erent calibres, 0,000 tents, 140,0110 muskets, and 24,000 horses. In addition, 2,000,000 arms, yataghans, and pistols were taken from Turkish irregular troops, and also 13,000 lances and daggers. The Russian army in Asia captured during the war 14 pashas and Co,200 of ficers and men, 1(1,000 tents, 42,000 muskets, 18,000 horses and immense stores of ammunition and provisions of all kinds. The number of firearms and miscellaneous weapons taken from the Asiatic irregular troops of the Porte was also, it is staled, exceedingly large, but no details are given. The Hervian troops also acquired a large booty during (he short time they were engaged, their trophies being returned as ii'JH guns, 10,. 000 muskets, and 37 standards, besides ammunition, provisions and horses. Murder Will Out A Strang Confession. The murderer of John Armstrong who was killed last January at Camden has been discovered. Hunter who has been supposed to have been the guilty inan It seems Is an accessory, the killing having been done by Thomas Uralinin. Tlio murderer was arrested by two officers, nnd when taken to the Jail made a full confession of the killing of John M. Armstrong, and Implicated Hunter, saying, in substance, " 1 did the killing and Hunter paid me." The story of Uralinin's confession goes on to this effect: To Detective Yoder and Hherlir Daub man he detailed In tlio most minute manner all the facts antecedent nnd sub sequent to the crime; tells where Hun ter went to Just before -and after the murder; reduces to a simplicity all the mysteries that hinge on the hatchet; gives dates, times, places and events with perfect accuracy, and which the detectives had a clue to, but no perfect knowledge, and of which the public are ignorant, and states an important matter, which was incidental to the complete destruction of Armstrong. That is, that when Armstrong was brought home, after the deed had been committed, and after ills head was bandaged, Hunter paid him a visit. Armstrong was then unconscious, and during the time that the nurse was ab sent, and no one but Hunter and the unconscious man was in the room, Hunter, as lie alleges, pulled oft' the bandages, started the wounds to bleeding afresh, and in this act of un parallel led atrocity sought to end Armstrong's life at once. Graham declares that the plot was carefully matured between himself nnd Hunter, and the object to secure the In surance which was upon Armstrong's life and In the name of Hunter. He tells how It was agroed upon where the as sassination should take place, and hints that he agreed to ' do the job" for $200, to be paid him by Hunter when " Arm strong was settled." . The full confession will not be given out at present, but all its points are gradually coming to the surface by the admissions of the officers. Almost on an Iceberg. The State line steamer State of Georgia, Captain Cooper, from Glasgow, arrived at New York on Saturday, having ex perienced heavy gales and high seas dur ing most of her passage. On Sunday, the 10th lust., the steamer entered a dense fog and slackened her speed. She was then between' Flemish Cape and Grands Ranks, of Newfoundland. The fog horn was blown constantly and the temperature of the waterand atmosphere was tested every half hour. As the water grew cooler it was evident that the vessel was approachiug icebergs, which, however, are rarely met with at this season. About nine o'clock in the morning the lookout discovered some thing ahead which he at first thought was land. The helm was put hard to and the engines reversed at full speed. The sea was comparatively calm,und the ship readily answered to the helm. She could not be checked immediately, however, and in a few seconds was with in half her length of a huge iceberg, looming fur above her. The men at the wheel stralued every muscle, and the ship going only a few lengths changed her course fully three points. The steamer swung more and more to the starboard, but still it seemed as if she must strike the mountain of Ice. At lust she passed clear and all who saw the danger drew a sigh of relief. The Ice berg, which was covered with snow, is described as being mauy times the length of the steamer and two hundred feet high. Had the steamer been going at full speed she would certainly have been lost with all on board. Robbery of a Railroad. Hutciuns, Texas, March 19. Train No. 4, ou the Houston and Texas Cen tral railway, due here at 10:05 last night, was robbed by four masked men. The express car was taken possession of and the mail plundered, and Express Mes senger Thomas wounded. About fif teen or twenty shots were discharged. The leader of the gang whs 27 or 29 years of age. All appeared to be young men. They made the engineer, fireman and a negro who was on the pint form, stand In front of the express car door so the messenger could not fire. When leaving they took a northeasterly direction, going to wards Trinity Dottoni, ... .. A Life 8aved by a Mule. A very Interesting incident Is related of a recent railroad accldenton the Pitts burg and Ft. Wayne railroad at Lnlie vllle, Ohio. Standing between two of the cars, which were loaded with horses and mules, was a hrakemau, whoso name Is not learned. He went down with the wreck, becoming fastened be tween the cars, under ten feet of water. His weak struggles to release himself were useless, and he concluded that In a few short seconds all would lie over. The mules had been kicking pretty live ly in the car, and suddenly the hrake luan felt (he end board give way. Then lie received a tremendous kick on the thigh, which sent him out of his perilous position to the top of the water. Here lie spluttered about until u white mulo rose up and struck out for shore. Then the brakemnn grasped the animal's tall and was safely I'lirriod to shore, His in juries were not so severe but he could bo moved homo to t!restline. Another mule escaped by the same egress us tlio first, and the remaining animals per ished. The braUeman should certainly purchase that white mule and keep him, for It has never occurred before that a. man's life was saved by a niuUytnd may never again. Dors the Misslosippl River run up Hill? A correspondent of tlio (icrmantown Tclrtrajth says: "The Mississippi riv er extends north and south through about eighteen degrees of latitude, and its waters How from lis .source to tho Gulf of Mexico, not down, as water nat urally flows, but up an Inclined plane. If the equatorial diameter is twenty six miles greater than tho polar, then the north pole Is thirteen miles nearer the centre of the earth than the equator; and eighteen degrees of latitude being one-fifth of tho whole ninety degrees from the equator to the pole, the head of the Mississippi must be a little over three statute miles nearer the centre of the earth than its mout h. The centrifu gal force of the euitlrs turning ou its axis thus forces the water up hill to tlio extent of three miles or more of eleva tion. Happy Result of an Attempt at Suicide. Providence, R. I., March 19. Kate Delaney, the woman who attempted suicide last Sunday by taking arsenic, left here this evening for New York, ac companied by Alfred Skinner, of Hart ford, and it is suid on good authority that they were married before they left. Skinner becanio infatuated with Kute some years ago, and would have married her then but for the opposition of his purents. He saw the account of Iter at tempted suicide in the papers, aud im mediately came here to administer to her wants. There was a large , crowd ut the depot when they departed. Skinner Is apparently about 30 years of ugu, and has wealthy parents in Hurtfold. He is in the paper business. . Trade In Kisses. A curious divorce cuse is on the tapis in Harrison county. A wlfo who was greatly in need of a mess of cabbage made a "bargain and sale" with a neigh bor, trading three kisses for three heads of cabbage. The irate husband accused her of the act ; she acknowledged the circumstance and added that she thought she had made a good barguin. The hus band did not care much for tho loss of the kisses, but was fearful that they In dlcated more than was upparent on "the face of the returns," and so has filed his petition for divorce. C5 John M. Larkins, an old mer chant of Columbia, Tenn., well known to the dry goods merchants of Philadel phia, committed suicide last week, by shooting himself through the heart. In his vest pocket was found the following note: " I do this terrible deed from remorse. I have been the means of ruining a good man and fam ily. Good forgive me. I can't face tho world again." In tills note lie refers to bis partner in the dry goods business, Mr. John A. Waker. He was evidently deranged. The firm had become embar gassed from indulging too freely In the credit system, and he fancied he was the cause of it, though Mr. Walker says that their assets exceed their liabilities by at least two to one aud that they could have met all their Eastern obliga tions if they could have made their usual collections. The creditors of the firm are doubtless safe. The Richest Gold Mine In Montana. On the very summit of the Rocky Mountain range, at a spot from which one stream rises to flow into the Pacific ocean and another to flow Into the At lantic ocean, a gold mine of great rich ness has recently been discovered. A shaft has been sunk 80 feet and has yielded $7,000, besides a large n mount of ore still to be worked. Three veins have been discovered, one of which is 1.1 feet wide and very rich. Tho core Is 18 In ches wide and will aRsny from $1,000 to $2,000 a ton. Tho entire lead covers !l,ooo feel, and Is the most valuable min ing property In Montana. It is owned by N. S. Vestal, who a month ago was heavily in debt and considered himself a poor man. MIscHIlllK'OIH NctvH Item. 1ST" It.
