PHILLIPS’ PARTY RETURNING
Waddell did not Appear on the
Ground.
POSTING FORBID IN COLUMBUS.
On yesterday afternoon we met Mr. John Milton, Of
Marianna, Florida, who ia the eon cf ex-Goveroor Mil-
ton of that State. He was en route for the North, and
did nat at*y in the city long enough to give us an In
torview with him- He gave ua, however, a brief
review of the Phillips and Waddell matter as viewed
by outsiders. He says he was on the ground st Neal's
Landing, Florida, with the Phillips party, and they
hid notified the other party that they would be there
on the 3«1 of September, the party waiting, expecting
Waddell andj hie friends, nnt 1* Saturday morning;
but they tailed to come; that on their
return, there was a letter received by one
of Phillips' party from Col. Waddell or some friend of
his, giving, as his reason for bis non-attendance at the
place appointed was the sickness of Mr. Holland, who
was acting as his second. The Pb illij a party left
their arms in Eofsnla, Ala At Seal’s Station, »here
Col. Waddsll resides, a son of Colonel Waddell
and two other gentleme-i got aboard the train, all arm
ed—one with a doable barrel shot gun, and the others
with p atois. From their manner, he says, he was ap
prehensive of a difficulty aU the way. Nothing, how
ever, occurred. In Columbus, he says. It was
rumored that Phillips intended to post Colonel
Waddell by circular, and that Col. W. and Lis friends
armed themselves and threatened to shoot any man
that posted one of tnese circulars. The Mayor ol the
city then interfered, and n quested Mr. Phillips to
avoid a street difficulty by not posting Waddell. It Is
also rumored that the city papers were requested not
to publ ah the correspondence.
The Phi.lips rarty will be home this afternoon on
the West Point tiaiu. We clip the following from the

Suspension of the New York Warehouse and
Security Company—Serious Acci
dent—Jay Gould and the
Erie Railroad.
Nkw York, Sept. 9, 1873.
It appears that the trouble in the New^ York Ware
house and Security Company arose from its relations
with two of its directors, Francis Skiddy, of No. 101
Wall street, and Sheppard Gandy, of No. GO Wall
street Both are heavy sugar importers, snd were di
rectors of the New York Warehouse and Security
Company, and also directors of the Missouri, Kansas
k Texas Railway Company, now in course of construc
tion. They bad invested so heavily in this road and
elsewhere that their large resoarces and excellent
credit could not carry them through, and they, there
fore obtained loans from the Security Com pan 3 cn
stock and bonds of the latter and other corporations.
The Warehouse and Security Company, however,
had a large amount of paper in circulation, which was
about to mature, and unless some of the loans which
it bad made to Messrs. Skiddy k Gandy were taken
up, they conld not meet their obligations. Frequent
consultations were had, but without satisfactory re
sults, as the disordered condition of the money mar
ket, and the fact that Kansas, Missouri and Texas se
curities were negotiable In Wall street, precludes mak
ing loans in other and less partial quarters.
A meeting of directors had, therefore, been called
yesterday morning, and it was resolved to suspend
temporarily and call a meeting of creditors, on Tburs*
day, to take action in the matter. Francis Skiddy is
the head of the firm of Skiddy, Minford k Co., of No.
101 Wall street, who are among the heaviest impor
ters of sugars in this city. Mr. Skiddy has b«.en iden
tified with steamboat, railroad and other interests for
msny years, and has always borne s good name for
financial strength. Sheppard Gandy is a member ot
the sugar firm of Sheppard Gandy & Co., of No. 60
Wall street. Neither of thebe houses have suspended
as yet.
While the Seventy-first Regiment was parading
through Fourth street, in Williamsburg, this morn
ing, a balcony, crowded with spectators, suddenly
broke down. All were precipitated to tho sidewalk,
one person being killed and fifte -n more or less se

It is stated that a number of sails, inspired by Jay
Gonld. will soon be brongbt against the Erie Railroad
Company and directors personally, for alleged illegal
acta done in connection with the recent declaration of
dividends.

A Director of the New York Warehouse and Security
Company states that the company assets are about
$2,500,000, bnt does not know how much of this is in
tbe form of unpaid loans. Liabilities $1,300,000. The
Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad owe the company
$1,000,006. one-half of which was secured by bonds of
the road, and notes of the Land Grant
Railway and Trnst Company, and the other
half by personal guaranty of five of the railway direc
tors. Two of these were the Skiddy and Gandy Direc
tors; also of the Warehouse Company; notea of the
Land Grant Company, of which Skiddy is President.
He is considered to be good. The Warehouse Com
pany also made a loan of $2,000,000 to tbe New Or
leans, Mobile and Texas Railroad Company, which
has not yet been completed. This loan matured
last spring, and Is not yet paid, but is secured by per*
tonal guaranty. A loan was also made to tbe Wes 4
Wisconsin Railroad, amounting to $10,000, which loan
was good, though not yet matured. Tho same was
true of several other railways. Whether the suspen
sion of tbe Warehonse Company was tc be temporary
or final, depended entirely on the d. Cil’on of the
creditors.

Trcnton, September 9. 1873,

Front the Providence Journal.
We are informed that on Wednesday an old
iuciy of eighty years, living on Bacon street,
iu this city, visited the insane asylum at
Taunton, Mass., with her daughter, to see her
sou, who Las for somo time been confined
there lor insanity from tho effects of a wound
received daring the w'ar. On arriving there
the mother was shown into the reception
room, whero wero several more lady visitors
and one or two patients, and the son was
brought into the same room, when tho at
tendant went out and locked the door.
There happened to be in the room at
the time a lady who had gone there expecting
to secure the release of her husband, but for
some reason be could not bo discharged on
that day.
This was a great disappointment to the
wife, but the effect upon tho husband when
she told him wus terrible. Ho raged and tore
round the room in perfect fury, smashed up a
marble topped table as if it was paper, and
commenced operations on the ^lock. This
bo had got partially, if not quite, demolished,
when the son of the old lady from this city,
who had been quiet up to this time, became
excited and attacked the infuriated husband.
A rough and tumble fight ensued which must
have been frightful to witness, and tho foel
ings of those women, shut up with two infu
riated insane persons and unable to escape,
cau hardly bo imagined.
Alter a little fighting, the husband, with a
piece of the furniture he had been demolish
ing, or with his finger nails, cut or scrutchod
the forehead of the son, making a frightful
gush, from which the blood flowed copiously,
and then catching him by the throat, bo
choked him till bis face turned porplo.
Doubtless be would have killed him then
and there, but the old lady, seeing her son's
danger, went to the rescue, and after a severe
straggle, succeeded in making the husband
let go his hold. Fortunately the attendant
came in and a stop was put to tbe proceedings,
though it required five mjn to secure tho dis
appointed and infuriated husband aud put
him beyond tho power of doing harm.

A Story With Two Sides.—A few (lays
ago a story came in tbe California papers
about a young Chinaman in San Jose falling
in love with bis employer’s daughter, tbe
girl’s rejection of the Mongolian’s suit, and of
bis retaliating by firing three pistol shots at
her, tbe first of which struck a steel ril> of
her corset and glanced off. the second cut her
apron strings behind, and the third buzzed
her ear. The Chinaman, supposing he had
killed his victim, shot himself dead. That
was the story. Th.*ro is another side to it.
A strong suspicion exists among the neighbors
and those who know the Dubois family that
old Dubois killed the Chinaman, and that he
and his wife and the two girls made up
the story. The mark on the steel rib of!
the corset looks as if it had ^been made with
a knife instead of a bullet The covering
is cat as with a blade, bat the metal is not
grazed. The Dubois women at the inquest
said that the Chinaman’s attack on the girl
was made about noon when Dabois himself
was away from home. Shots were heard by
others early iu the morning when Dubois was
at home, and none were heard by the same
persons in the same places at noon. They
tell a story that Dubois bad a hired man to
whom he owed $600 for services some years
ago. The man was caught by Dubois in a
suspicious position with his oldest daughter,
and the poor man agreed to settle with the
irate father by giving him a receipt for all
the money owing him. The neighbors
tbrought that affair was precoucocted by
Dubois aud the giil. The Chiuamau, jnst
dead, had been with him six years, and Du
bois owed him $500. His relatives know this
fact, and they don’t belive the story of suicide.
Dubois and his family have all been arrested,
and are now in jail awaiting examination
for the killing of the Chinaman.
Tbe Gazette des Beaux Arts for August con
tains a very interesting letter from M. Foliard,
in which he gives an account of his discovery
of the long lost tapestry, woven from Raphael’s
cartoon of tho Coronation of the Virgin. It
was used for the decoration of the high altar
of the Sistino Chapel, while the other ten ta
pestries were suspended along the lower part
of its side walls. After Raphael had finished
his immortal cartoon (1515-16) they were sent
to Flanders. The tapestries woven from them
arrived in Rome in 1519, two years before his
death. Nino years later, when (1537) Rome
was sacked by the furious soldiers of the Con
stable de Bourbon, they were stolen and car
ried to France, where, after being offered for
sale at Lyons in 1530, they were purchased
by the Constable Anne de Montmorency, who,
in 1555, generously restored them to Pope
Julius III.
They remained at Rome till 1789, when they
were again abstracted from papal keeping, and
6old to certain Jews, who, supposing that the
gold thread which entered into their composi
tion was of considerable value, destroyed the
one representing Christ’s descent to Limbo.
Finding that the amount of the precious metal
which they obtained from it was ot very little
value, they sold the other tapestries to some
Genevese merchants, who in their tarn dis
posed of them to Pope Pius VII., by whom
they were once more restored to the Vatican
in the year 1808. .Since that time nine have
hang iu the gallery of Pius Vfcb, but
one knew what had become of the
tenth. Pas8AVant, in his Life of Raphael,
(vol. ii, p. 211) had suggested that it
would perhaps be found rolled up and
forgotten iu some corner of the Papal Palace,
an idea which has happily been verified by
M. Puliard. After searching without success
the workshop iu tho Vatican, where the
tapestries used iu the Sistine Chapel are kept
aud repared, and fruitlessly visiting the Pon
tifical factory at S. Mitchel, where many old
tapestries are preserved, this gentleman was
about to give up in despair, when a foitunate
conversation with one of the smarter work
men reanimated his hopes. At this man s
suggestion he returned to the Vatican, and
there, in a room ou the^second story belonging
to the private apartments of tho Pod^ called
the “Stanza della predica Dei fA*gliati,”
discovered the lost treasure hanging on the
wall, together with seven other tapestries,
one of which as representing Leonardo de
Vinci’s Last Supper, is of peculiar interest
As M. Paliard made his discovery on the
27th of February, 1869, wo are at a loss to
know why he has kept it secret for four years.
The Coronation of the Virgin, which exactly
corresponds to tho description taken by
Pasavunt for tho Papal catalogue, is enframed
in a border of flowers, fruits, birds, sirens
and genii of small dimensions. The subject
is divided into three superposed rows of fig
ures, God, the father, with the Cherubim at
the top, Christ, the Holy Spirit, m the form
of a dove, and the Madonna attended by
aogels, in tho middle, and SS. John the
Baptist and Jerome with two angels at the
bottom. These two saints were here
introduced in honor of Leo X.;
John because his real name was
Giovanni de Medici, and St. Jerome
with his faithful lion, because he took the
name of Leon X. on his election. M. Paliard
mentions a drawing of this composition at
tho Ambrosian library, and another at Oxford,
both by Raphael. In tho latter SS. Peter and
Paul occupy the places afterwards given to
SS. John and Jerome. One peculiarity of the
newly found tapestry is that unlike the other
tapestries, in which the drawings are revers
ed, this is woven in the same sense as the car
toon. The reason is clear, for otherwise God
the Father would have been represented as
giving the benediction with his left hand,
and holding the globe of the world in his
right; the Virgin would have beeu seated to
the left of our Lord, who have crow’ncd her
with his left hand, aud St. John, besides giv
ing up the place of honor to SL Jerome,
would have pointed to the divine lamb with
his left hand.
Now r that the tapestry has been fonnd, one
can not help hoping that the far more valua
ble discovery of the cartoon from which it
was woven will some day bo made. Of this,
however, there is but little hope, not only on
account of its comparative frugality, but also
because in this case it will have escaped even
greater perils than those which only seven out
of the eleven Lave survived. “Their survival
under the barbarous treatment they have re
ceived is,” says the Academy, “as remarkable
as that of some of tbe weak, defenseless spo
cies of animals in the Darwinian account of
the struggle for existence.” Cut into strips
and pricked with pin holes for the use of the
workmen, they remained rolled up at the
Flemish factory until 1629, when Reubens,
theu ambassador from the Archduchess Isa
bella of Spain to the English court, spoke of
them to Charles L, aud at his request obtain
ed them for Whitehall. After the revolution,
thanks to Cromwell, they were purchased by
tho government for £300 and placed at Hamp
ton Court, whence, on account of the danger
from fire to which they were exposed, they
have boon lately removed to South Kensing
ton.

The Shah’s Distinctions.
. MONSTROUS BLUNDER.
Divorce in Chicago.
A comical story conics from Paris, the au
thority being a coirespondent of the Tall
Mall Gazette. The Shah of Persia, when in
Paris, went to tho Jardin des Plantes, and
was very much pleased with what he saw
there, aud with the courtesy of the directors;
so much so, indeed, that he made notes of the
names of the men of science, with the view of
“remembering” them, iu the sense in which
people who hope to get something ask to be
“remembered.” The other day His Majesty’s
compliments arrived in the shape of “lions”
and “orders,” which count for a good deal in
Persia. Unhappily, the Persian monarch
somewhat dashed tho pleasure of tho “deco
rated” men of science by an awkward acci
dent. Ho had noted down tho names of M.
M. Geoffrey, St. Hilaire, Milne Edwards, and
other savauts ; but in company with them, he
had also written the names of somo of the
“extinct animals,” whose relics are preserved
in tho museum; and unluckily the tao sets of
names got mixed up together. So it happened
that when the men of science received Persian
decorations, so also did tbe megatherium, the
dinothcrium, and other “fearful wild fowl” of
the same character.
It is supposed that Charles Harmony of
Reading, Pa., tried to get Mrs. Mary Herbert
to elope with him, and she would not. The
two had high words at tho hotel where they
stopped in Reading. This was one evening.
The next morning they appeared to be cool,
and calm and contented. Harmony asked
Mrs. Herbert to take a boat ride with him on
the Schuylkill ubove the falls. She consent
ed, and while they were going towards tho
river Harmony invited a young man named
Hoffman to accompany them, and he did.
Harmony had the oarB, and Hoffman discov
ered that he was rowing with might and main
with the current, which w'as driving towards
the falls- He remonstrated, but Harmony
apparently worked tho harder and said noth
ing. Hoffman jumped before it was too late
and succceoded in roaching the shore by
swimming. The boat with its two unhappy
passengers soon took a leap with the torrent,
twenty feet down amongst tho boulders. It
was dashed to pioces, aud both Harmony and
the lady wero killed.

A Trap Fob a Thikf,—A man by tho
name of Evans, a school teacher iu Estiil
county, having had stolen from him a quan
tity of flour somo ten days ago, concluded
to set a trap and catch tin* follow who
should attempt to repeat the operation. At
tbe window leading to his store room he
placed a loaded pistol, oonocaled from view,
and so attached that if any one should at
tempt to raise the wiudow, the weapon would
be discharged. Two days thereafter, when
his wife was from home, Evans, at his school
not far off, heard the repoit of a pistol and
immediately ran to his house. There he
fouud a man named Elliott, badly shot, al
though not mortally, through the right breast.
Elliott explained that he wait riding along
the road, and hearing an unusual noise,
thought to raise the window to learn what
wus the matter, when he was shot by the
concealed pistol. Evans thinks that hereaf
ter he will have no tionble in peeping
his provisions.
A DISOEACLFUL SYSTEM.
The Chicago Tribune discourses as follows
The divorce practice in the Cook county
Courts has long been a scandal and a disgrace.
It is now something worse than this. The
loose practice which is tolerated has become
so common and familiar that tho most bare
faced frauds are perpetrated either without
attracting any attention whatever, or without
stimulating the Judge to take any action to
ward reform. The facility with which fraud
ulent divorces are hurried through the Courts
is partly the result of too general a statute, and
partly of the lax practice of treating this class
of cases which tho Judges have acquired on
account of tho largo number wuich come be
fore them. The Illinois statute provides as
regular causes of divorce adultery, impotence,
bigamy, desertion, extreme aud repeated
cruelty, habitual drunkenness, and convic
tion lor felony.
Bat, in addition to these prescribed causes,
the Court has the broad lititude to giant di
vorces on any other ground which it shall
deem sufficient. Several other States have
similar laws. Tbe State of Connecticut gives
the same Latitude to judges. The State of
Kentucky allows divorces for all the above-
mentioned causes, except for adultery. A
trial by jary is prescribed in this State only
in those cases when the defendant appears
and denies the charges in the complainant’s
petition. Divorces of a fraudulent natu*^, as
a matter of course, never come to a trial by
jury. It is the practice of our local courts to
refer to a Master in Chanoery, who very
rarely fails to re]>ort iu favor of a decree,
which, as a rale, is then granted without fur
ther ceremony. The general character of
these trials before the Master in Chancory
may be inferred from the circumstances that
certain divorce-shyster prosecutes more
than half the divorce business in Chicago,
which turns out an average of two divorces
day.

EIOHT HOURS IN THE GBAVE.
From the Le wen worth, Has.. Commercial, Sept. 4.
As we w» nt to press yesterday morning, a
large force was still busy at work to extricate
August Norbeigh Irom tbe well in which he
was buried by the falling of tho walls on the
day previous. It was then supposed tbo un
fortunate man would be rescued long before
the break of day, bnt he was too deeply cov-
rday morning it was fonud that it would
take several hours yet to remove enough of
tbe rock ani dirt to allow Norbeigh an es
cape.
A communication was effected wilh the suf
fering man, through which water and eatables
were passed, which, iu a considerable degree,
helped him to endure his ulmost killing pain.
The good work of removing the crushed in
walls continued till ten o’clock, when the cry
saved at last,” fell from every mouth os
Mr. Norbeigh was raised from the crashing
rock and dirt to a more comfottable and safe
oosi’ioti on the solid earth. There were hun
dreds present who w* re wild with excitement,
and just aa glad to mee the victim of tLis sad
accident restored *.o his terror-stricken family
il be w.re a son or biothcr. Mr. Norbeigh
ww covered by tbe falling walls at 4 o’clock
Tuesilay afternoon,and at 10 Wednesday morn
ing, haviug been beneath tbe cruah?d weight
ol twenty-live feet ot clay and rock eighteen
hours. It seems beyond the limits of the
possible that one should be in sneb a condi
tion a d still live, and so it was scarcely
thought ere the man was rescued that enough
of life would be.left to stand the terrible
shod. Tbe city physician. Dr. Yonnkin,
had been called and was on hand when Mr.
Norbeigh was raised. An examination was
made wbicb disclosed the fact that no bones
were broken. The body and limbs are con-
sider*bly bruised, but it was impoRgiUe to
tell to what extent he suffered internal inju
ries. The doctor thought best to let bin |>a-
tieut sleep, in which condition he found »iru
at a late hour last evening. He wus too weak
to move a muscle and could only speak with
difficulty. r T r

The Symptoms of Health.
Health has its symptoms as well as discos
Th8 clear eye, the liesh complexion, the stea
dy hand, the firm step, the unclouded brain,
brisknc&s of spirits, and a disposition to look
ou the bright side of anything are indications
that the aniraal machinery is in perfect work
ing order. Happy are they whose running
gear of life is in this excellent condition, and
fortunate too are they who know how to bring
it into snch a condition if disarranged. All
who have experienced or witnessed the effect
of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters npon tbe weak,
broken down, desponding victims of dyspep
sia, liver complnint, fever and ague, rheuma
tism, nervous debility, or premature decay,
know that in this supreme tonic and altera
tive there exists a specific principle which
reaches the very source of the trouble and
effects an absolute and permanent cure. E
Pluribus L'num might be aptly inscribed on
the label, for the preparation is a plurality cf
remedies condensed into one irrasLstible anti
dote.
Two valuable paintings, by French masters,
wera recently purchased for the Corcoran Art
Gallery, in Washington, and are now on their
way from Europe. They are “The Death of

TUe habit of jralona lovers uml nnhnppy
married people shooting ©.ich other in becom
ing painfully prevalent It ia generally the
men that shoots tho woman, and when he
knows he has hit her. and supposes he has
fired often enough to put his victim out of
her miserv, he usually has one load left for
himself. 'This he lodges in his own head or
breast with fine effect, for it saves the torture
of imprisonment and a trial for murder, and
givee the law no voice in the matter. The
last tragedy of this character occurred in
Montpelier, Yu A young man and a yonng
woman who were lovers worked in tho same
shop. Tbe young man went away for a few
weeks and when he returned oue of his com
panions jokingly told him that another had
supplautod hint in tho affections of the girl.
The joke aeoms to have etruok hie reason
dead. He asked for no explanations, but
went and got a pistol snd commenced firing
at the girl whilo sho was at work iu the shop.
He hit her three times and took the fourth
shot himself- His shot killed him Instantly,
bat the girl, it is thought, ia not daugeronsly
wounded.
