Dill, the Demo eratlo candidate for Governor, has sent to Lleutennnt Governor Latta his resig nation as Btate Beiiator for the Twenty seventh district. The vacancy will bo filled at the general election In Novem ber. The Governor has signed the fish bill as amended by the last Legislature, and It Is therefore now the law of the land. By Its provisions the season for catching black bass commences on the flM day of June Instead of the first of July. The Governor also approved the bill making an appropriation to the Fish Commissioners for the propagation of fish. The house in which Dr. Burdell wa9 murdered, on the 81st of January, 1857, No. 31 Bond street, New York, was sold at auction the other day. Most of our older readers are familiar with the circumstances of that fatal tragedy. The house has had an unlucky experi ence since then. In October, 1800, John R. JFclton dropped dead In the house, and for years after it was no uncommon thing to see timid folks carefully take the other side of the street when com pelled to traverse Bond street and at night the quiet thoroughfare has to this day but few travelers. At the time when the murder rcfered to above was committed, we lived op posite, and well remember the excite ment of that Sabbath morning. Senator Stanley Matthews of Ohio who Is charged by Andorson with knowing of the alleged frauds in Louis iana, denies the charge, and asks that the Senate investigate the matter. He accordingly offers the following resolu tion : Resolved, that a committee of seven Senators be appointed to inquire into and consider all things touching the matters stated and referred to by the Senator from Ohio (Matthews,) and the events connected thereunto, and partic ularly -what connection, if any, that Senator had with any real or pretended frauds or other wrongs committed in the conduct and returns of the election In the State of Louisiana in 1870, and with any promise of protection or re ward, if any, made by any one to Jas. E. Anderson, or others, in consideration of or connection with any official con duct by Anderson or others in relation to said elections or returns, and into all the circumstances of any recommenda tion by the Senator, of said Anderson, for appointment to office, and that said committee have power to send for per sons and to employ a clerk and steno grapher, and have leave to sit during the recess. Agreed to unanimously. Low Prices of Grain. Our Philadelphia Market report of last week makes the following remark : On the first of the month No. 2 red Western wheat sold in this market at $1.80 per bushel, and sail mixed corn at 521 cents, in the elevators. Yesterday the same grade and delivery of wheat sold at $1.10 and of corn at 45J cents a decline of 20 cents per bushel in wheat and 6i in corn. Corn is lower now than it has been for thirty years past, and, from present indications, has not yet reached bottom. The decline is attribu table to the depression in the foreign and home markets, low rates of freight from the West, an abundant supply, present and prospective, and to the pressure for sale of reserve Btocks, held off tlw mar ket in the hope of higher prices In the now improbable event of further war in Europe. Orega State Election. San Francisco, June 5. A Port land dispatch says additional election returns indicate that Whitaker (Bern.) is elected Congressman by a small majority. It is conceded that the Legis lature will have a Democratic majority on Joint ballot variously estimated at from 4 to 12. It is generally conceded that but for the efforts to force the elec tion of Mitchell, the Legislature would have been Republican. The Republicans undoubtedly elect the Secretary of State and Treasurer. It Is believed that Beck man ( Rep.) is elected Governor by ' a email majority. Terrible Loss of Life. London, June 7. An explosion of fire-damp occurred at the Wood Fit col liery in Wigan to-day, causing serious loss of life. Two hundred miners are buried in the ruins. The work of ex ploration has loe -commenced, but it is drnicult and attended with great danger. The first explorer descended the shaft five minutes after the explosion and others followed. Ton men were rescued alive, and were sent to the surface, where one died almost immediately and the others suffered much. Eight other men are alive and have taken ref uge in a working of the mine. Two hundred and thirty-two men are dead. The explorers state that they have found bodies decapitated, reduced to shapeless masses, and some of them blown to pieces. It Is expected that the corpses will be brought up by midnight. A large crowd of men, women and children sur rounded the jilt. The cause of the ex plosion Is unknown, as blunting with naked lights is prohibited. Miss Bruhncll's Infatuation. Wai.ii alla C. II., B. C, May 22. Col. Budd, once a conspicuous politician in Alabama, now over 70 years of age, had for some time paid devoted attention to Mlsslda Bruhncil.the beautiful daughter of a well-to-do farmer ; Imt her father opposed the match ; not so much because of the dlfTerenco between her age and that of her aged lover she is only twenty as on account of Budd'B politi cal faith. Night before last the lovers determin ed consummate their happiness by im mediate marriage. Budd proposed an elopement and the girl assented. That night two saddled horses were waiting at the Bruhneil mansion, and at mid night Budd and his bride cleot, accom panied by a male friend, were galloping away at break-neek speed in the direc tion of the Tennesee line, in which State the ceremony was to be performed. All might have gone well but for the perfidy of the girl's waiting maid, to whom she confided her plans. As soon as the eloping couple were on their way this negro girl told her master what had taken place. Bruhneil had a horse saddled, and armed himself with a double-barreled shotgun, and went in hot pursuit. At about 1 o'clock yesterday morning he overtook them near Fordham Cross ing, and hailed Budd, warning him that if he did not stop and give up his daugh ter he would kill him. But Budd press ed on, and when the party attempted to cross Fordham creek the father reached the brow of the hill, and fired at Budd, killing him instantly. The girl was taken by her father back to her home. Miss Bruhneil had only lately graduated from a Northern semi nary. Costly Courtesy. From private sources it is learned that the United States steamer Essex was se riously injured recently by the side wheel man-of-war Amazon, of Dom Pe dro's navy, while attempting to ex change naval courtesies at the port of Montevideo. It appears that the Bra zilian frigate was about to proceed home ward, and in leaving the harbor the Ad miral determined to take leave of the Essex in a royal manner. The officers and men lined the upper decks, the band played the "Star-Spangled Banner," and the Brazilian crew cheered the ship. In attempting to come as close as possi ble to the American vessel they did not allow for the strong wind and tide, and came down on the Essex with a shock that jarred her from stem to stern, car rying away the jib-boom and the fore-top-gallant-mast. The Amazon lost her small boats and had her paddle-box torn all to pieces by the cat-head of the Essex. The greatest excitement prevailed at the time, but fortunately no lives were lost. The damage done to the Essex will probably cost Dom Pedro about $1,500. Both ships put into Montevideo and re paired damages. A Plucky Girl. While a colored girl, named Hettle Hug, employed at 228 South Thirty, eighth street, a few mornings since, was standing at the window, she observed a man walk up to the window of Mr. Lawrence Myers' house, directly op posite, and with a jimmy force the front parlor window shutter. He then climbed in, and she ran over and rang the door bell, and the man opened the door and tried to escape. She caught him and held on to him, although he pulled her nearly a square, when a policeman came to sight and arrested the man. He is a Frenchman and gives the name of Charles Lleubaux, and he says he Is without a home. Magistrate Smith committed him, and at the same time complimented the courage of the young woman. Philadelphia Star. Train Robbers Captured. Salt Lake, Utah, June 3. A party of eleven men from Rawllns.Wyomlng, captured the train robbers and returned to Rawlins. They overhauled them night before last forty-five miles north of St. Mary's station. They offered little re sistance, as their only arms were revol vers, while the pursuers were armed with long range rifles. Three shots only were fired. They denied the crime at first, but by threats and the application of a rope one confessed and piloted the party to where the watches and money were concealed. The one, since turned State's evidence, says that he and one other came from Cheyenne, and the other two from Kansas, where they late ly committed a bank robbery. A Singular Case. Several months ago Miss Ida Wlckert, now residing on Vine street, near River avenue, had one of her ankles badly spralned,from the effcatsas she supposed of working at one of the machines In the State bindery. For three or four months she suffered the most excruci ating pain and her ankle was much swollen. The other day while the at tending physician was examining and dressing the ankle he discovered a por tion of a lath nail, nearly one-half an inch long, protruding from the opening and removed It without much difficulty. The young lady, who is now in a fair way of recovery, cannot account for Its presence, or at what particular time it entered the ankle. llarrMmrf Patriot. A Cool Horse Thief. A Detroit Item says: Albert.laehenke, an honest old farmer, from Taylor, was returning home yesterday afternoon, when his wagon broke down, and he proceeded toward home riding one of the horses and leading the other. A young fellow met him and asked to ride the other horse. Permission being granted, the Btranger mounted, but suddenly turned about and rode rapidly toward the city. The mig Jachenke was mount ed on could not catch up with the bold horse thief, and he escaped. Bank Robbery at Canton. Canton, Pa., June 4. The banking house of Samuel Doane ASon was enter ed by three burglars this morning. Mr. Doane, who slept in the bank, was seized and compelled to open the vault, and was then gagged. The robbers only se cured $2,500 worth of registered bonds, being driven off by men who, living close by, heard the noise and came to Mr. Doane's assistance. One of the bur glars was severely hurt about the head with a club, but managed to make his escape with the others. 8" The Huntingdon Journal says: A friend informs us that on Saturday night last, between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, the barn on the farm of J. M. Patterson, at Yellow Springs, was fired In three places and burned to the ground, together with all its contents. Two horses, one cow and calf, hay, harness and all his farming implements were burned. The fiend who fired the build ing opened the doors in order that a current of air could pass through to fan the flames and thus insure the success of their hellish work. The Incendiaries are supposed to be four tramps who robbed a store in Martinsburg a few days ago. Mr. Patterson's loss Is heavy, and at present writing we have not learned whether lie was insured or not. OUR WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, D. C, June 0, 1878. The greatest social eveut of tbe season since Lent has been the Sherman-Cameron weddiug ; for, although neither party are Washingtonians and the wedding did not take place hero, yet Senator Don and Seo etary Sherman 's neice were both too well known to receive merely passing notice or exoite but transient interest in any of their doings ; and besides, coming here soon after their marriage they were the recipient of complimentary breakfasts, lunches, dinner-parties and other gatherings. Much curiosity was folt concerning the Senatorial gift to the bride for it is made a point of etiquette that in case of a Senator's mar riage during a session bis lady shall be presented with a bridal present by his brother Senators. Mrs. Cameron received a pair of large wine coolers, silver em bossed with gold, for the purchasing of which each Senator contributed $10. Last year a Representative was presented by the Members with the entire furnishings of an extensive conservatory. Tbe plants were of the rarest species obtainable, being taken from the National Botanical gardens and green houses upon which each Con gressman has a small yearly claim. Apropos to weddings aud bridal gifts, entertainments, &o., in case of the other great marriage in which Washington's social world has been vastly Interested of late, that of Baron Blauo Italian Minister and Miss Terry, tbe bride's present to each of her attendants was a heavy finger rlDg set with a black and a white pearl ; and at the breakfast she gave to them she wore a white brocaded silk morning dress with Valenciennes lace trimmings. Her feet, which are tiny, were shod in white silk slippers of the same brocade as tbe dress, and white silk lace stockings. Vinnie Ream, the famous sculptress, was married last Tuesday evening to Lieuten ant Hoxie, U. S. A. Notwithstanding tbe various reports that are continually reaching us concerning the insignificance of the United States exhibit at the Paris Exposition, better substantia ted ones are to a different fleet namely, that the American section at the great fair will do our country credit. Tiffany's sil ver ware (of which be has sent a rare dis play) Is said by oompetent and reliable judges to be inoontestably the finest, in point of design and workmanship, in the whole exhibition. The Wallhara Watch Co. has also a mRgnifloent collection of time-pieces there, and the axes and other edged tools of tbe Douglass Company, of Boston, Is arranged similarly to Hint in the U. S. Patent Ofllce In this city, upon a screen background of dark blue velvet, the whole enclosed in a heavy walnut frame. Qon. Grant with his wifo and daughter Nellie visited the fair one day last week, and the occasion was made the most of in the American section. Although thor oughly "doing" that portion of the Exhi bition, the distinguished visitors partook of a collation prepared for them, consisting wholly of American viands potted meats, pickled oysters, canned fruit, crackers, American wine and the like a repast pe culiarly grateful to those long absent from home and consequently long without home delicacies. After eating, Gen. Grant aver red tlint he bad enjoyed no repast so much for months. The talk connecting the name of Grant with the. 1880 Presidential nomination is spreading far and wide. Many notable men In Washington who were not admirers of him during his second term of office ex press themselves now as decidedly In favor of nominating him again to the Chief Magistrate's chair j and a prominent New Yorker said recently that he was confident, if an oloction was to be held now for Presi dent with Grant for the Republican candi date, he would sweep New York State by from 80,000 to 40,000 majority. Olive, Miscellaneous News Items. Lebanon, June 5. A young lady namod Keller fell inte lock No. 1 of tho Union canal at Ileilmandalo last night and was drowned. .tW A three-story brick building, undor construction on Fremont street, Balti more, fell in Tuesday, burying ton men in the ruins. One of them died shortly after being extricated from tbe dobris, and tbe remainder were seriously Injured. 63T Near Americus, Va., on Monday aweek, a man named ' Caldwell killed bis wifo, three children and bis wifo's sister with a smoothing iron. He then made three attempts to destroy himself, the last one, a leap from the top of a lofty build ing, fortunately proving successful. tW Captain McCammar, of Chilllcotho, Ohio, whose failure was announced recent ly, was yesterday discovered to have com mitted forgeries to to the amount of $30, 000. He had been missing from home,and was found in a stable insensible from the fleets of laudanum, having suicided. Washington, June 8. The house of Isaiah Ilanscom, ex-chief naval construc tor, in this city, was robbed sometime be tween Saturday night and this morning of $75,000 in money. Tbe amount was drawn on Saturday from tbe bank and was to have been used for some purpose to-day. tS At a recent wedding tbe "best man" handed to the clergyman at the close of the service a counterfeit $5 note instead of tbe ten gold eagles that bad been placed in a richly knit silk purse by the groom, and left in bis friend's keeping. Had the note been genuino the fraud never would have been discovered. tW A St. Louis woman has the odd fan cy that her daughter would instantly die if exposed to the sun or the open air, and therefore keeps her in a close room, heavi ly swathed In flannels, and most of the time in bed. Tbe daughter is as insane on the subject as her mother. She has been seclu ded since her ninth year, and Is now seven teen. Her health is really as good as could be expected under the circumstances. tW Love, which laughs at locksmiths, turns out to be no respecter of creed or race in Cincinnati. The handsome daugh ter of Rabbi Wise fell in love with a young Irish attorney, and tbey were secret, ly engaged to be married. Tbe rabbi had forbidden him to enter the house ; bnt tbe couple were made man and wife by a Unitarian preacher. The rabbi, who has now disowned his daughter, is one of tbe best-known Israelites In tbe United States. Saratoga, June 5. The wife of Jesse Billings, Jr., of Bacon IIill,near Schnylcr vllle, was fatally shot in tbe head last night, the shot being fired through a win dow. Mrs. Billings has for a long period been jealous of her husband, and there bas been much trouble between them in conse quence. Recently a woman living over Mr. Billings' commenced a slander suit against Mrs. Billings for certain alleged slanderous words spoken. Reading, Pa., June 8. Three men were instantly killed to-day at the iron ore mines about three miles from Topton by the sud den caving lu of an embankment about 50 feet bigb. Two others reoeived slight in juries and barely escaped with their lives. The names of tbe killed are Jacob Fryer, who leaves a wife and several small chil dren ; Win. Reinert, who leaves a wife and five children, and Jos. Schenok, who leaves a wife and four children, The mines are known as the Plane mines and are worked by the Thomas Iron company. tW At Benslngor's tannery, near Bear town, Lancaster county, on Monday a week, Henry Sycer, a respectable citizen and employee at tbe tannery, while clone to the bark mill, was caught by tbe sweep and drawn Into the mill used for grinding bark,, whore be was literally ground to pieces, causing death almost Instantaneous ly. While passing through the cogs he was beard to remark, " I must die 1" and before he eould be extricated donth bad eased him of his sufferings, llo leaves a wife and children. tW Report says that Miss Coffey was one of the most modest and sweet-tempered young women In Lawrenoe, Kan., and that Mr. Loeper was a worthless, bullying fellow ; yet, when tbey married, it was his parents who objected to the union. He lived with his wife only two weeks, and then it was mutually agreed that tbey should separate. The bride assented quietly, saying that she was pleased to bo rid of her husband. He subsequently spoke disrespectfully about her to his friends. One evening he stood jauntily in the door of the Post Oflice, smoking. She came along in her customary diffident manner, handed her parasol to a by-stander, took off her gloves, drew a cowhide from her pocket, and slashed Leeper across the faoe until he was terribly disfigured. Then she took back her parasol, put on her gloves, and walked demurely on. FACTORY FACTS.
