Tite Chaplain of the House hi Augus
ta, Maine, is reported to have used the
following sentence in his prayer the
other day: 11 Give these thy servants
wisdom, for the Lord knows they need
it."
The Senate have at last confirmed
the Presidents appointments in the New
York CuBtom house and Naval office.
Senator Couklln fought against it bitter
ly, but the Senate have decided that
Couklln Is not dictator, and nine-tenths
of the people in the United States will
gladly welcome the decision.
The kfiukmic which is sweeping
with such terrific effect through the
southern part of Russia, and which can
only be checked by burning Infected
towns and villages, should send notes
of warning to our own shores. We are
in no Immediate danger, perhaps, but
it would be the part of wisdom to take
steps to guard against a more disastrous
evil than that which ravaged the south
last year. The nature of the plague
which Is spreading consternation
through the Russian Empire is unde
termined. But the appalling fact that
ninety per cent, of those attacked die,
demands for it most earnest considera
tion. Our direct trafio with Asiatic
ports, or the ports of the Mediterranean,
Caspian or Black Sea, is not great, but
extensive enough to afford opportuni
ties for bringing this dread pestilence.
Precautions Against the Plague.
London, Feb. 3. The Times'1 corre
spondent at Berlin says that Russian
railway cars are no longer admitted to
German territory. The export of grain
from Poland will suffer severely from
this restriction. The Roumanian gov
ernment are discussing the expediency
of prohibiting the transit of Russian pro
visions sent to victual the Balkan army.
The Russian Sanitary Commission has
proposed to shut off the Volga line from
all intercourse with western Russia and
permit communication only under quar
antine. A Thief Instead of a Hero.
For some time past, Detective Dear
born, of Boston, has been investigating
the circumstances attending the myste
rious death of James V. Barron, cash
ier of the Dexter, Me., Savings Bank,
who was found in the outer vault of the
bank, about 8 o'clock in the evening of
' February 22, 1878, bound, gagged, and
in a dying condition. Barron died in a
few hours after, and it was believed by
the bank officers and all others that he
had been murdered by burglars for re
fusing to disclose the combination of
tbe inner vault, and Barron became a
hero for preferring death to a betrayal
of trust. Tbe affair attracted universal
attention at the time, and a considerable
amount of money and was raised for
Barron's family, chiefly from banks, as
also for erecting a monument to him.
The truth now comes out that Barron
has been a systematic forger and defaul
ter ; that he tied, gagged and locked him
self in the vault ; that his death was
caused, not by wounds recived from
robbers (for these wounds were super
ficial and self-inflicted), but from poison
administered by himself.
Where the Contingent Fund Goes A Dis
graceful Report.
A Washington dispatch is as follows :
The Clerk of the House of Representa
tives has just made his report of the
expenditure of the contingent fund of
the House for last year, and the state
ment contains some very interesting
items. The first items to attract atten
tion appear under the title of " Disburse
ments for fuel and oil under the appro
priations for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1878," and read so many tons of coal,
so many cords of wood, so many gallons
of oil. Then comes one dozen " squirt
cans," $7; also, to J. H. K. Wilcox, ex
pert to Committee on Expenditures in
the Treasury Department, from March
8 to May 7,at$0 per day, $300." "J.
II. K. Wilcox, expert, etc., from May
8 to June 8, loss than three days, at $Q,
$180." This is Glover's celebrated ex
jert, Profwwir Wilcox, the famous sla.
tlstlcliiii, political economist, woman
suffragist, and above all, reformer. He
Is the man who claimed that there have
been millions of dollars of money and
bonds printed In the Treasury Depart
ment and carried off by the Secretaries
from Cliuse to Sherman, and these emi
nent services are paid for as fuel and oil,
along with "one dozen squirt cans."
John CJ. Tlionipson.Bergeant-at Arms,
presents an account of $937.80 for ex
penses paid by the members of the House
who went to attend the funeral of the
late Senator Morton. The expenses of
the funeral and of tbe Senators who at
tended It were only $750. Among the
other Items of the bill Is one which
reads; " Amount paid George Driver,
as per bill, $319.10." George Driver
keeps a liquor saloon and wine room
near the Capitol, and although no bill
Is printed In report, it is of course un
derstood that tills $410 represents the
wine and whisky purchased for this
trip. It has been reported here that the
supply was so much greater than the
demand although the demand was
great that after the return from the
funeral, certain Congressmen were able
to have baskets of wine and demijohns
of whisky sent to their lodgings. In
addition this is a bill for $192 for a Pull
man car for the use of the members of
the House on the trip, notwithstanding
the fact that $275.70 was paid for rail
road tickets. More Senators went to the
funeral than members of the House, yet
for their car and tickets the Senators
paid only $291. The House paid $99 for
scarfs and gloves also for use at this
funeral. The above is but a fair speci
men of the list of charges.
Counterfeiters Discovered by a Girl.
For some time past a gang of counter
feiters and moonshiners have been car
rying on quite an extensive business in
Preston county, W. Va., defeating all
efforts at detection until Thnrsday last,
when a girl hired by David Stenchel to
nurse his wife made a discovery in an old
chest in a room of Stenchel 's house
of a lot of nickels, quarters and half dol
lars and a set of dies for making coun
terfeit money. The girl related the facts
of her discovery to her father, who In
turn related it to the authorities, and
they Informed United States Commis
sioner Henshaw, of Grafton, on Satur
day last.
The Commissioner immediately Issued
warrants and placed them in the hands
of United States Deputy Marshal Alex
ander, who, with a posse of men, started
on the 1st inst. to make the arrests of
Stenchel, Campbell and Williams, coun
terfeiters, and late that night the Mar
shal returned to Grafton with his prls
oners,havlng captured the parties named
after a hard fight, during which numer
ous shots were fired by both parties, none,
however, taking effect. The prisoners
were taken to Clarksburg, before United
States District Attorney Goff, for a pre
liminary hearing.
On the way to Clarksburg Stenchel
confessed by Baying that Williams and
Campbell did the counterfeiting, and
that they used him as their tool, they
having leased an old bank near his
house, in which they made tbe counter
felt money, and paid him for circulating
it. Tbe moulds are made of plaster
Paris and gum arable, and tbe coin they
made is difficult to tell from the genuine.
Campbell and Williams are held in the
sum of .$2,000 each, and Stenchel as a
witness.
Justice Conflicts with Law.
Baltimore, Feb. 3. In the United
States Clrcut Court, Judge Bond presid
ing, to-day, the case of Thos. B. Perry,
Robert B. Perry .William S. Wilkinson,
Judge of election for the Eighth Dis
trict of Ann Arundel county, was con
cluded. They were indicted for holding
the late Congressional election at a place
other than that selected by the County
Commissioners. They were found
guilty and remanded for sentence. In
the same court Policeman Louis Norrls
was called to answer an indictment
charging him with having stuffed a ballot-box
In tbe Sixth ward at the late
Congressional election. Defendant en
tered a general demurrer, alleging that
under the statutes of the United States
stuffing a ballot-box Is not a penal of
fense. Tbe demurrer was eustained,and
the prisoner discharged.
Supposed Case of Trance.
Miss Anna Carter, a beautiful young
woman, while at a sociable, last Friday,
at Fort Edwards N. Y., dropped appar
ently lifeless to the floor. As conscious
ness was not restored it was supposed
she was dead, and her funeral was to
have occurred Thursday. When the
hour for the obsequies arrived her
parents refused to allow ber to le
burled, afllrmlng their belief that she
was only In a trance. The body is
warm, and the flesh, after pressure with
the hands, Indicates that the blood is
still in circulation. The body will be
kept for several days. Veins . In her
hands and fect have been opened . and
the blood flows freely.
The body was burled after being kept
six days, the family being convinced of
her death. En.
A Lancaster Farmer Deserts His Family.
Lancaster, Feb. 15. Samuel M.
Roop, a wealthy young farmer of West
Earl township, this county, deserted
his wife and family yesterday and eloped
for parts unknown, taking with him as
a companion a young woman who has
been living In the family, and upon
whom it Is said Roop has been bestow
ing his affections for some time past.
His flight was accelerated by the fact
that his wife's mother threatened to
prosecute him for adultery with the girl
in question. Before leaving, Roop bor
rowed about two thousand dollars from
different parties, for which he gave
judgment on his farm. He was traced
to this city, where It Is supposed he took
the cars for Philadelphia. To his friends
he said he would be hack In a few weeks,
unless arrested In the meantime. Roop
is 24 years old and has been living with
his father. All parties concerned are
quite wealthy. Roop, It Is said, Is worth
forty-five thousand dollars. Much pity
is felt for the wife and family.
