Gen. John A. Dix died at his resi
dence In New York on Tuesday Inst.
In Ohio a woman can be appointed
a Notary Tubllo.
The Border, raid bill, and the riot
damage, bills, having been defeated there
is a chance for some other business to
be done.
Petroleum appears to be taking rank
with tea, coffee and sugar in Europe
as an article of such necessary use as to
be a fit subject for taxation for revenue
purposes. Most of our leading staples
are fast obtaining a similar Importance
in Europe.
A brisk revival of the Forelgti immi
gration is noticed at New York, no doubt
produced by continued depression in
Europe and better times in the Republic.
Should this influx continue to increase,
the steamers of the regular lines will be
fortunate.
' The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has informed such of its tenants as are
engaged in liquor business In Jersey
City that after the first of May their
leases will not be renewed for bar-rooms.
The time is not far distant when the
company will employ no man who In
dulges in drink, even moderately. This
is a temperance movement that will be
gratifying to the traveling public.
With the Budden withdrawal of Uni
ted States four per cents from the mar
ket at par, there is an advance in all
sorts of securities that promise anything
like five or six per cent. Interest with
any reasonable guarantee of regular
payments. The activity on our own
market witnessed in the latter part of
last week has not been equaled in sever
al years, and the demand for bonds as
well as stocks has been very great. As
long as the fours could be had for the
asking, people held off, but now that the
unknown quantity in the market has
been ascertained, we find millions of
money seeking investment, and railroad
securities especially going up with great
rapidity. In the last three days of last
week no less than five millions and a
half were sold on tlfe New York Ex
change, and the sales in Philadelphia
were very large, aggregating nearly
$200fiOO.-Philaddphia North American.
New Currency Bill.
Washington, April 22. The House
to-day passed the bill for the redemption
of the subsidary silver coins. This is a
very important measure to merchants
and dealers who are obliged to receive
subsidary coin in payment for goods and
wares and will also, if it becomes a law,
enhance the purchasing power of the la
boring man's currency. The bill as it
passed the House provides that silver
coin of smaller denomination than one
dollar shall be exchangeable Into lawful
money when presented at the treasury
or sub-treasury in sums of $20 or any
multiple thereof ; that coins received at
the treasury under the provisions of this
act may be exchanged for lawful money
in sums of $20 or the multiples thereof;
that subsidary coins shall be a legal
tender in all suras not exceeding $20 ;
and that the miuor coins (copper and
nickel) shall be receivable for postage
and postage stamps to the amount of $3.
The coinage committee is considering
several other important propositions in
regard to silver, one of which relates to
the retirement of the trade dollar and Its
re-colnage Into legal tender dollars.
Strange Attempt to Assassinate.
Chicago, April 23. While Edwin
Booth was giving the soliloquy in the
last act of Richard II, at MoVicker's
Theatre to-night, a shot was fired at
him by a man sitting in the left-hand
upper gallery. Booth sat still until af
ter about three seconds, when a second
shot was fired, when he rose and started
for the left-wing of the stage, pointing
out as he went the would-be assassin.
The latter wag at once seized, and but
for the intervention of officers would
have been roughly handled. He states
his name is Mart. Gray, that he twenty-
three years old, a dry-goods clerk of Bt.
Louis, that he has been three years pre
paring to do this deed, and is surprised
that he fulled ; that his failure to kill
Booth Is the only part of attempt which
he regrets. He says Booth wronged a
friend of his at one time, and lie had
been resolved to punish him ever since.
The audience remained after this episode
and the play proceeded to the end.
Negroes to Give Place to Chinese.
The negro exodus which has attracted
much attention for some days through
out the country has now become a sub
ject of serious consideration in political
circles. Information recently received,
indicates that there will be quite a stam
pede from all the cotton States, and in
stead of being a local movement in Lou
lslan and Mississippi, it promises to be
come universal throughout the South.
The Southern planting interest is al
ready taking steps for self-protection.
The mass convention of the planters of
the Mississippi Valley, to be held at
VlckBburg, May 8, will be attended by
the Mississippi Senators and Represen
tatives, all of whom, Including Senator
Bruce, have been invited. Information
received by them shows that the plan
ters are apprehensive of a serious indus
trial crisis, and are preparing to meet
the emergency. 'Agents have already
been dispatched to California, to confer
with the Six Chinese Companies, and
also to Hong Kong to ascertain what
arrangements could be made to secure
several cargoes of Chinese laborers to
take the places of the negro fugitives.
A number of letters have been re
ceived by Southern Representatives from
their constituents, urging a change of
front on the Chinese question, and in
stead of restricting immigration, to fa
cilitate it by more favorable treaty stip
ulation. The specified object, according
to prominent Southern Senators, now
is to introduce at least 20,000 Chinamen,
to be ready for cotton picking In the
coming fall, and put them in training
for planting operations next spring.
The animosity existing between the
whites and the blacks at the South
would seem, from the sentiments ex
pressed by the Southern representatives,
to be so deep seated that the former are
unwilling even to make concessions in
order to induce the negroes to remain.
The whites claim that by the introduc
tion of Chinese laborers they would be
able to establish a system more advan
tageous to their Interests, and separated
from the political questions Involved in
negro labor. The industrial question in
the South has now become one of
leading importance.
In explanation of the negro move
ment, it Is asserted by Southern and
even Northern Democrats, that for sev
eral months a scheme baa been on foot
to colonize a formidable negro vote in
the closely contested States,notably Ohio
and Indiana. The Republicans disclaim
any such purpose, or any knowledge of
such an attempt, and declare that this
explanation Is but a flimsy veil to cover
the real cause of the movement name
ly, the bad treatment received by the
colored laborers.
A Woman Without Conscience.
Peter Smith, sixty years of age, in
duced Mary McNamee, a relative, to
come and live with him at his house in
Philadelphia, promising if she would
take care of him and bis house, he
would buy her a sewing machine and
she could keep all the money she earn
ed. After living thus for some time the
old man made a will, giving her the
house ; but, thinking she might have
trouble in getting possession of it after
his death, he was induced to burn the
will and give her a deed for it. He kept
possession of the property for some
time, but finally Mary turned him out,
aud in addition brought suit against him
ior fifty-five weeks' wages. The case
came up before Judge Mitchell on Thurs
day, but the jury evidently thought
Mary had got enough, so they returned
a verdict In favor of Peter.
Daylight Bank Robbery.
The National Bank at Vlneland, New
Jersey, situated on Landis avenue, was
robbed at noon Tuesday. All the em
ployees except Mr. Thomas H. Vinter,
the cashier, had gone to dinner. A man
came in and asked to have a draft on
New York cashed. Three others came
in after him. Mr. Vinter was attending
to the first, when, accidentally turning
around, he saw a man at the bank vault
doors with a roll of bills in his hand.
Mr. Vinter attacked the man and took
from him $3,500 in bills. The man then
fled as did bis companions. The thieves,
however, took with them f 100 in silver
and $S00 in bills. The silver they threw
away.
Two Thousand Homeless People.
San Francisco, April 10, A fire at
Eureka, Nevada, last night aud this
morning, destroyed half of the town,
including the heaviest business houses,
the hotels, newspaper offices, telegraph
office, the Masonic building, and a great
number of dwellings. Three hundred
families are destitute, and two thousand
people are without shelter. A relief
committee has been organized. The loss
is roughly estimated at $1,000,000.
Sauce for the Ganders. '
Harrisiiuro, April 23. The mem
bers of the Legislature who dropped into
the Treasury Department to-day to draw
a little money on their salary account
were astonished to learn that there
would be no more cash for them for
some time, and that they would have to
take their chances along with other em
ployees of the State. Each member
has received up to date $720 for the one
hundred days' session, and the Treas
urer has reached the conclusion that as
the schools have been behind for over a
year, and other State Institutions have
been refused their money, the law
makers, who have been frittering away
the time, should have a little of the same
medicine. Over two hundred and thir
ty thousand dollars have thus far been
paid out on account of Legislative sala
ries and expenses, and complaints have
now become so numerous and loud about
the legislators being paid in advance, at
the expense of everything and every
body else, that this condition of affairs
has been forced. The verdict at the
Treasury Department is no more money
for members until the close of the ses
sion. Such a situation of State finan
cial affairs has never before existed, and
to-day there is general weeping and
wailing. It Is my belief that this will
have an effect to shorten the session.
Some well posted people hold the view
that this decision of the State Treasurer
is intended as a " plncber" to compel
the members to put a tax on oil. The
long-delayed school appropriations will
now be paid as fast as the money comes
into the Treasury,
But Few Would Do So.
The residence of Joseph Merger, at
Lancaster, Ohio, was destroyed by fire
yesterday. All the family escaped by
jumping from the second-story win
dows except a girl eight years of age,
who perished in the flames. Merger is
a freight conductor, and was just leav
ing Lancaster with his train when he
was told his house was on fire. Feeling
that his duty was to his employers first
he remained with his train and brought
it to Columbus while his house was
burning.
Deaths from Coal Oil Lamp Explosion.
Wilkebbahre, April 22. As three
children of Oliver Stout were going to
bed in Penobscott on Monday night, a
coal oil lamp exploded, setting fire to
their clothing. They ran towards a
neighbor's house but the oldest girl fell
in the road and was so badly burned
that she died early this morning.. The
other girl died to-day, and the third
child, a boy, is not expected to recover.
Great Fires In Cuba.
Havana, April 22. The rains have
relieved the drought, aggravated by ter
rible south winds. Two disastrous con
flagrations resulted from drought in the
cane fields of the districts of Colon, Ma
tanzas and Cardenas. Over fifty plan
tations suffered more or less. One
eighth of the crops and buildings were
entirely destroyed.
A Murderer Sentenced.
Pottsville, April 21. Patrick Con
nelly, convicted last December of man
slaughter for killing John McCarthy, at
Mount Carbon, 1874, was sentenced this
morning to solitary imprisonment for
eighteen months, five dollars fine and
costs.
A Loosing loke.
A prominent physician of Pittsburg
said jokingly to a lady patient who was
complaining of her continued ill health,
and of his inability to cure her, "try
Hop Bitters I " The lady took it in
earnest and used the Bitters, from which
she obtained permanent health. She
now laughs at the doctor for his joke,
but he is not 90 well pleased with it, as
it cost htm a good patient. 18
