Mrs. Kellle Fartorls,daughter-of ex-Presldent Grant, is dead. The most encouraging reports reach ub of the iron trade not only in thin state but in New Jersey. Furnaces that have been cold since 1873 have started up again, and it has become scarcely poBsible to supply the increased demand. The best thing about these reports of re turning prosperity is that they come from all over the country, showing that the causes for his revival of trade are not local but national. Mormon Resentment. Ooden, Utah, August 12. The con viction and imprisonment of lleynolds for polygamy, the murder of Standing the Mormon preacher In Georgia and the imprisonment of Geo. 8. Cannon, the delgate to Congress, and the execu tors of the Brigham Young estate, have caused a bitter feeling, and the leading church paper has lately entertained threatening letters, and inflammatory speeclies have been made.' The idea of a circular to foreign countries is treated with contempt. It is claimed that it would be absurd to suppose that any European government would undertake to establish an inquisition to determine the religious faith of emigrants or that they intend to enter into polygamy. There is no evidence of any Intention of forcible resistance to the government, but the Mormons have a good military organization and are mostly well armed. The Riot Cases. The cases of the commonwealth against the persons charged with attempting to secure votes for the riot bill by means of bribery and corrupt solicitation, continue to excite much speculation. Twenty two indictments will be laid before the next grand jury,which are distributed as follows : Chas. B. Salter, 0 ; 1). K. Shoemaker, 1 ; E. J. M'Cune, 1 ; C. Long, 1 ; Jesse B. Crawford, 4; A. W. Leisenring, 2; W. II. Kemble, 4. The attorneys for Messrs. Kemble, Leisenring and Long were Wednesday morning notified to enter bail before Alderman Maurer for the apearance of their clients at court. In the afternoon Messrs. J. C. Bomberger and Wm, Cal der entered bail for Wm. H. Kemble to the amount of $500 on each charge. Bail will be entered for Mr. Chris. Long, by J. J. Dull, Esq. All of the indictments will be laid before the grand jury on Thursday of court week, and in case true bills are found the committee decided to proceed with the trials the next day, unless the defendants move a postponement, when the cases will prob ably go over to an adjourned court. Much surmise is indulged in as to where the money is to come from to pay the necessarily large fees of the distinguished counsel engaged for the prosecution. Many are inclined to believe that the lawyers have been guaranteed their pay only in case of the success of the com monwealth in the suits and that then a future legislative appropriation will be relied on ; but a ' Patriot" reporter learn ed last night from reliable authority that the legislative committee is able to command any amount of money re quired and that one of the prosecuting lawyers had stated that he and his colleagues will be paid by private sub scriptions. Harrisburg Patriot. An interesting case, analogous to the famous Mollle Maguire case, is now on trial at Beading, Pa. A band of tramps skilled in all the tricks of out . lawry have for a long time been preying on the people of Berks, hesitating at no obstacle to accomplish their designs, and directing their efforts against any point that promised a harvest, irrespect ive of the nature of the goods. Ticket offices have been broken into, stores have been robbed, farmers plundered and countless other offences, many of a desperate character, committed, which the detectives managing the case, think , they can prove against this gang. The method of proceedure in making the arrests is not unlike that adopted in the shocking: cases above cited. The detec tives sometime since made the acquaint ance of a young German connected with the gang and who "peached" on them ; the officers, disguised themselves and mingled with the outlaws, with such success as to have effected their arrest, They are all intelligent men, many of them having an excellent education ; tboy are mostly Germans. Develop ments will probably disclose some terri ble crimes, and the prosecution of the case is followed with a lively interest. The Right of Secession Reasserted. The position of Alexander II. Ste phens as a political thinker gives an lmpoctance to his declarations such as can properly be accorded to no other leader of Southern publio opinion. Ills Intellect dominates his feelings and his utterances partake of. the nature of a definition of opinion. Besides, his well- known (Conservatism of character and his general moderation of view Justify us in regarding as of great significance his recemt publlo reaffirmation of his belief in the existence of the right of State secession from the Union. In a letter to the Louisville Journal Mr. Stephen ' says : " The rleht of secession I never ques- tloned and have defended with all the power I could command, but my Judg ment was very decided against the policy. My mind on the these subjects has undergone no change and is not likely to undergo any." This dangerous declaration degerves to arrest the attention of the whole country. A Bold Robbery. A daring robbery was committed yes terday afternoon at the Philadelphia Screw Works, corner of Twelfth and Buttonwood streets. Shortly after three o'clock a man entered the office, and upon pretence of desiring to order cer tain work done, engaged Mr. lllchard C. Farthing, the cashier, in conversa tion. While the two men were thus busy another man entered, and snatch ing a bag containing $400 from the desk, bolted to the street, closely follow ed by his par. Mr. Farthing gave chase and overtook the pair at Thirteenth and Callowhlll streets. A fight followed, the cashier being badly cut in the head with a chisel. Ills cries brought a pa trolman to the scene, who presented a revolver, and this induced one of the fellows to surrender, but his accomplice escaped. The prisoner was taken to the Eighth District Station-house, where he gave the name of C. Henry Adams, and his residence as at 1144 Locust St., but there is no such number there. He He is believed to be a recently-arrived Englishman, as his conversations shows him to be of that nationality, and his evident ignorance of localities here in dicates that he is a stranger. This chisel with which Mr. Farthing was assaulted,. together with the stolen cash, were found near the scene of the arrest. Phil'a. "North American," 13th inst. Collision. Philadelphia, August 14. A seri ous accident occurred upon the Atlantic City narrow gauge railroad this after noon, which resulted in the death of five persons and the Injury of two oth ers. At half past two a special excur sion train left this city for Atlantic city, consisting of nine cars and containing about 300 men, women and children. A freight train was coming from Atlantio city and expected to reach Clementon, a station eleven miles below Camden, in time to allow the express train to pass them there. When nearing Clem enton the excursion train was heard coming at the rate of 30 miles an hour. The engineers saw each other at about the same time, but too late to avoid a collision. The freight train was partly thrown down an embankment, but the passenger train remained on the track, although being considerably damaged. Both engineers and firemen escaped in jury by jumping from their engines The conductor and two brakemen of the passenger train, a deaf mute and a pas senger who were on the platform were almost instantly killed. The passengers inside were not injured. There was great exoitement in the cars when the collision occurred, and the passengers were compelle d to crawl out through the windows. Abducted and Probably Drowned. The other night, while a young man named Henry Woods was calling on a Miss Hudson, ater father's residence at Lackey Bend, near Windso, 111., a party of unknown men seized him and took him to the Okaw river, about mile distant.' As tracks were discovered in the sand at the water's edge indica ting a struggle, the supposition is that Woods was drowned in the river by his captors. A Boy Accidentally Shoots and Kills nimseir at Etna. Pittsburgh, August 12. A little boy 15 years of age, named John Bellman, was accidentally Bhot and killed yester day afternoon at Etna. The boy had taken an old musket, which had been standing In a corner of the room for long time, and was working with It at the time of the accident. It is supposed he was cleaning the weapon. At at any rate the muzzle was under bis chin when the load was discharged, and the contents passed through his head and caused his death in a short time. The mother of the boy and a child four years of age were at the dinner table at the time, and the boy was outside of the house. The mother did not know that he had the weapon until she heard the report, when she ran tout and found him lying on the ground, with the fearful wound in Ms head. She sent immedi ately for some nlghbors, and a message was dispatched for a physician, but the child died in about five minutes. A Night on the Edge of Destruction. On Thursday morning Luclnda Gaie, a maiden lady, got lost while bluberry- ing on the Sugar Loaf Mountain, in Alexandria, N. II. After dark she at tempted to descend the east side of the mountain, and proceeded dow u its pre- clpltouB Bides till she got to a position from which she could not retreat, and to go ahead would be instant dentil on the rocks 130 feet below. In this peril ous position she remained all night, not daring to sleep for fear of fulling from the ledge. During Friday she succeed ed in scaling the ledge above, and was found late in the day nearly insane from thirst and exhaustion by a party in search for her. Charles O. Shedd, while picking blueberries in Whipple's Swamp, Mass., heard cries of distress, and a search re vealed a boy sunk to the armpits In a quagmire. He had been in mud about an hour, and was so fulnt from exertion and exposure that his voice could be heard but a few feet, and, but for his time ly discovery by Mr. Shedd,he would soon have been suffocated. Miscellaneous News Items. tW Mr. Bailoy, of noar Constantino, Mich., thought he heard the tlzz of cider escaping from his barrel, and fult around to find the leak.

Some miscreant recently went into the pasture of a farmer named Bremen, living eight miles east of Sterling, 111, and cut tbo entrails out of a span of mules worth about $300. Bremen has no idea who could be guilty of such a dastardly act. tW Borajevo, the capital of Bosnia, was at last accounts on fire. A vast amount of destruction had been wrought and many hundreds of poor people been rendered homeless. Thore is cause to fear that the flames will not be arrested until the greater part of the city has boen destroyed. Ilolcomb & Co., of New Ilaven, recently shipped an elegaut coupe to San Francisco. It was enclosed in a canvas covering, to proteot it from the weather, Some impeouuious chap managed to get into it, and with a good supply of edibles, made the ten days' trip comfortably, escap ing observation. tW Lancaster county is infested with foot-pads traveling in the disguise of pod dlors, one of whose tricks is to got the farmers' wives to go to the fields to call their husbands home. Meanwhile the foot pad enters the house and walks off with such articles as suit his taste. Charles Ballot, a livery-stable keep er at Middletown, Ohio, shot and killed his wife Tuesday morning, and immedi ately afterward shot himself through the head, dying instantly. Ba'.lett was drunkard, and his wife had petitioned for a divorce, whioh, angering him, caused the tragedy. "WiLKESBARnE, Pa., August 11. At Fairview, on Saturday evening, the six year old daughter of Edward Ryan endeav ored to cross the railroad track by crawl- ing under a freight train. Her nurse, Cassie Laffn, aged eighteen years, started to bring her back, when the train started up and both girls were run over and killed Miss Lizzie B.

Washington, D. C, Aug. 80, 1879. It is claimed that, without any considerable! incrcaso in the amount of imports, the Gov ernment collected about 10,000,000 more of duties for the J ear ending June 80th, 1870, than in the last preceding year. Mr. Tllden, who is perhaps as good authori ty as any one iu such a matter, says the coun try is entering upon an era of gnat prosperity. Abundant crops, with a good foreign market, tho perceptible revival of manufacturers, and a return of business confidence, are all signs of the prosperity Mr. Tllden speaks of. It is also said that a great transcontinental rail road company, which for years has been ask' ing Congress for a guarantee of its bonds, had found purchasers abroad for 24,000,000 of them withont snch guarantee, and that indicates In telligent In the growth and prosperity of tho country. Among the resolutions adopted at a meeting of delegates from all parts of Maryland, yes terday, was tho following very wise one which might be generally adopted throughout the country with profit! "All unnecessary and superfluous offices should be abolished, and tho salaries and fees of others be reduced and restricted by law. In view of tho present high purchasing power of money, this may be ellccted without Injustice or hardships to officials, and with great advan tage to tho State." Tho late report that a poverty-stricken cler gyman of this city had drawn a prize in a lot tery, has had its usual effect hero, and large numbers of persons are squandering their last dollar in an effort to do the same thing, forget ting the many thousands of chances against them. Probably more orders for lottery tickets have gone from Washington this month than in any month before. We have seven Judges of the Courts of this District, yet hut om has been in the District during the months of July and August, and for a part of the time not one. The reason for this is that the Judges are appointed by parties not responsible to the District, and the people having no vote, are powerless. The Secretary of the Interior yesterday, with commendable firmness refused to near an ap plication to reinstate a person who was a clerk In that Department, and was twice discharged for drunkenness, though the application was earnestly pressed by gentlemen of standing and influence. A continuance In the like course would raise the standard of merit la every Department. The President has yielded to circumstances In the matter of certain valuable lands in Dakota, which were withdrawn from settle ment iu 1875. The withdrawal was to prevent the whites from pressing too closely on the Indian frontier. But it was found that, though the withdrawal kept ont good citizens, the bad ones paid no attention to It. To give good citizens an even chance with bad ones, the lands are now restored to settlement. But what do the Indians think of it I Ouvs. Is it Possible That a remedy made of such common, simple plants as Hops, Buchu, Man drake, Dandelion, &c, make so many and such marvelous and wonderful cures as Hop Bitters do ? It must be, for when old and young, rich and poor, Pastor and Doctor, Lawyer and Editor, all testify to having been cured by them we must believe and doubt no longer. Bee other column. 34.
