Further, the Comptroller added, all costs must lie paid by the and fondants in ti e suits brought. As there are some 300 writs of capias for arrests issue* i, the fines and eo-ts will amount to something. The costs in each action amount to $0.90.

Robinson vs. Nicholas Von Ohlun Cannot Agree C. S. Gay Forem an. 5 for plaintiff 1 for defendant. * The Judge could hardly restrain a smile at the remarkable document, but assuming a judicial sternness, he turned to the abashed jurors and told them that was no verdict at all, and that he would fine them $5 each for dispersing and leaving fortheir homes with out the court’s order. The fine, to say noth ing of the lecture, wilted them completely. J. E. Seguin, a druggist of La Villa, was believed to be dying this forenoon.

A train of forty wagons loaded with cot ton from Lee county, Alabama, reached this city this afternoon. The owners of the cotton are members of the “Lee County Farmers’ Alliance,” and came here because they re gard Columbus as the best place to sell their cotton ami buy their supplies. “THEY MUST Ne'vEß HANG." A Wild, Weird Tale of Rescue or Revenge. Pittsburg, Oct. 31.—An evening paper publishes the following sensational story: “A couple of well-known gentlemen over heard something yesterday that was rather startling. The parties refen ed to reside in Allegheny, and, being in the neighborhood of the Union depot, boarded the Chicago train for the purpose of crossing the river. They took a seat in the smoking-car, next a seat occupied bv two men. Just before the train rolled out of the depot an old man with a white bt-ard entered the car, carrying a box about two feet long and ten inches square. He sjxjke to the two men, re ferred to, and seating himself on the arm of their seat, handed the lx>x to one of the men, and in a low voice, that could be overheard by the two Alleghenian*, said: ‘There’s the box, now handle it carefully, for it won't take much to make it go off. Tin remark at once aroused the curiosity of the gentle men who overheard it, and they at once be gan to pay the strictest attention lowliut followed, although apparently and- ply en gaged perusing the papers which they were holding before them. The old man still re tained his position ou the arm of the seat, and was heard to say: ‘Now, you both Know vvnat to do. Just as soon as you get to Chicago, go straighi to Tom's' place, on South Ha'stead street, and stay there unt 1 the Supreme Court's decision has been made. That will be about Tuesday. Then go to see Parsons und find out what he wants. Be very careful, though, to watch the box ail the time.’ “By this time the train had nearly reached the Federal street depot, and as its speed began to decrease the old man ros and gave a hearty handshake to each of his friends and said: “You don’t need to be afraid about going to the jail, for no one there knows you, and remember, that no differ ence whai happens they must never hang. • The tram siopped, and with a hurrie t good-by the old man left the train. The two gentlemen wiio had overheard what was said got up to leave the train also, and walked through the car in order to get a view ot the two men who were apparently bound for Chicago. One of them w*ns about 30 years of age, smooth face, blonde hair and fair complexion, with a German expression about his features. The other was very dark, and wore a heavy beard, and looked to be about 45 years old. He was recognized as a man who had taken a very active part in one of the meetings ad dressed by Mrs. Parsons in Allegheny last winter. Re had been seen there by one of the parties who had overheard the conversa tion, and who had attended the meeting re . I'erred to. His name, however, could not be recalled. “The only inference to be taken from the incident is that the parties were interested iu the fate of the Anarchists in Chicago, aid apparently have devised some plan tor their relief, and are counting upon the ina bility of the Chicago authorities to recognize them as one of the prime factors to make it, a success. It would, indeed, tie strange 'f a rescue of the imprisoned men would be attempted by Pittsburghers, or that bombs to be used l'or the purpose of avenging them should be made in this city. The two gen tlemen who overheard the incident are well known, and their statement can be relied upon.” DEATH STOcS THE ELOPERS. The Tragic Ending of a Guilty Esca pade in a Wastern Town. St. Joseph, Mo., Nov. B. —On last Sun day morning two couples arrived at the Union Depot on the train from Atchison. One of the men went to a livery stable and procured a double rig, while tue other 0.,e remained with the ladies iu the depot wait ing room. When the carriage arrived nil of them got iu and drove off at a rapid rate They drove over on the east side of town and started down Charles street. At Eighth and Charles streets the horses be came frightened and ran at full speed and one of the horses shied, knocking the car riage ngainsta lump-poet and throwing out all the occupants. It was impossible to learn the names of all the persons, as they refused to give their names. One of the women, named Watson, had her head badly injured uud six t oth were knocked out,. The other woman, who gave her name a, Minnie, but would say nothing more, had six ribs broken and was otherwise hurt. One of the men, who said his name was Haskins, was thrown headlong against Uie lamp-post, breaking his jaw ami mashing his nose. The other man was but slightly wounded. He refused to give any of their names, saying that they were ail well known in Atchison, and if the fac s became noised about it would ruin them. Thepeo ple were all extremely well dressed. Tims the affair was wrapped in mystery. Yesterday afternoon one of the women died, but before death she asked fora minis ter and made a confession, giving her name as Mrs. Minnie Morrison. Then came news from Atchison which showed that the four persons were Will Van Doren, cashier for Howell & Jewett, lumber dealers; G. A. Dascomb, traveling salesman for the same firm; Mrs. Minnie Morrisrn, wife of W, H. Morrison, a fruit dealer, and Miss Ida Leap son, daughter of J. J. Leapson, a tailor. Mrs. Morrison is the one who died. Miss Leapson will recover, but her face will lie badly disfigured. Incendiarism Suspected. New Orleans, Nov. 3.—A speeial to the Picayune from Nachitoehes says: “The steam gin on the Melrose plantation, which belongs to James Henry was burned Sun day night, together with 100 bales of cot ton. The loss is partly covered by insur ance. A colored man named Audrew White has been arrested on suspicion of having set fire to the gin.” Birth of an “Evil Spirit.” Calcutta Dispatch to the London Time. l :. An extrordinary appeal case has lately been heal'd in Madras which puts in evi dence the active character of existing super stitions. It seems that one of the accused in the original case gave birth in December last to a mule child having four eyes, the litre of a money, and crooked arms and legs, while it grunted like a pig immediately ou its birth. The midwife placed the child under a trough ami sat upon it, both she aud the mother raising cries of alarm. The male prisoners then came and tixik the child into a field ami killed it by striking it on the head with a club. Their explanation was that the child was an evil spirit, which they ware justified by the custom of the country in killing in order to prevent it from doing evil. Tue judge acquitted them on the ground of u mistake of fact. This decis ion was necessarily upset on appeal. The accused believed that unless the child had been killed it would hav e grown to an im ruen-e size and devasted the country, and that they were therefore committing a mer itorious action iu obviating so grave a pub lic calam.tv ROBERT GARRETT'S TROUSERS. How the Son of Lis Father Talked Trousers to His Tailor. Prom the Sew York. Sun. Robert Garrett furnished no end of amusement to the telegraph operators in his employ, and among a largo number who worked in the main office here and in Baltimore he enjoyed the distinction of being dubbed a “chump.” He obtained the title, it is said, in this way: One day he reached his Baltimore office in a steaming hurry. It really looked to insiders as ir he bad something of importance on his hands and was anxious to get rid of it in a hurry. It was evidently a matter worthy of much care. The great man sat down at his desk. Ho reached for some paper, jubbttl a pen in an ink bottle, and square l himself. He wrote for a full minute without a rest. Then he sat up, stuck the end of the penholder between his teeth and bit, it. After chewing and ruminating for five minutes he attacked the paper again. The pci moved along more or less smoothly for five minutes. A halt was called. The great man read what ho had written and tore it up. Those around him wondered what he was about. His office was furnished with a stenographer and a type writer, but upon neither of these did tic great man call. He was evidently engaged upon a matter that could only be disposed of by trims.lf. He grabbed a fresh sheet of paper. He filled that with straight aud curved lines and tore it up. The office was incoming worked up to a hig h pitch of excitment. Another sheet of paper was tackled. Slowly a'd by jerks it was filled with writing. The effort was read aud read again by the great man. It was apparently satis factory. He sighed and signed it; then he handed it to n minion, who transferred it to a telegraph operator. There were about 300 words in it, and in its composition the great man had consumed an hour. When the dispatch reached the operating room it was passed around. Its contents were too strik l g for the digestion of one man When it reached the operating room in this city it was pas.* .l tujund, with tiie comment: “That's the kind of a chump you’re working for.” It was a dispatch from Mr. Garrett to his New York tailor about a pair of trousers. Outrageous Deeds of a Servant Girl. Sharon {Mass.) Dispatch in the Boston Journal. The cause of the mysterious affair which took place at the residence of Charles J. Roe and his sister, Mrs. Cribben, at their beautiful home lietweeu this village*and Norwood during the summer, which caused the destruction of over $30,003 worth o property, has boen discovered in the person of Kate Agues Gleason, the servant girl employed by Mr. Roe, who has confessed to all the acts except the burning of the house. Mr. Roe is an Englishman and has lived in this locality for quite a long time and built an elegant inaa-iou which was richly fur nished and filled with costly brick-a-brac. He lived here with his widowed sister in re tirement on the income of an ample fortune, in May last early oue evening two heavy stones were thrown against the house. Mr. Roe could not catch the thrower and did not mind much about the affair, thinking it a drunken passer. The next night stones were thrown through the window, but be was unable to discover the perpe trator. A few days later three Shet land ponies which lie had imported at a great expense was poisoned by Paris green. The stone throwing continued at intervals, and twice the house was robbed of money and jewelry. No clew was discov ered, although the State detectives investi gated the case. Ou July 19, the house was burned to the ground together with its en tire contents, the loss being li-.arlv $30,000, on Which there was an insurance of less than $7,000. The fire was thought to have been accidental. Sometime after the fire the servant girl brought to Mrs. Gribben two pieces *1 jewelry, and raid she found them m the a- Aof the burned house, but as the articles did not show any effects of the fire. Mrs. Gribben su-peeted the girl kuewsome thing about 1 lie ail'air, and by questioning her prevailed upon the girl to make a con fession. She sajd she poisoned the ponies, robbed the house twice and threw the stones, and acknowledged every act except the tire. She finish* I hor confession, and being in tensely excited, cried in frenzy, “now l have told you ail, punish me if you wish to, but do it quick. Cut tny throat! Kill me! any thing. ’ The next evening as it was desir able to have a witness to the confession, an officer was hidden in a coal bin in the green house aud the ,;tr was prevailed upon to give the details of the affair again. A war rant was issue 1 tor her arrest, but as Mrs. Gribben wished to recover some of the jew elry, it was no! served, as the girl promised to obtain it the next day. The next day she skipped and wen: to Boston. She was traced to Mrs. Sullivan's employment of ti -c, where he liiv I obtained a situation in Cambridge, where she remained five davs, an*l since then no trace of her can be found. The story of the confession has been keot quiet at tile request of tile officers, hopiug that she might be arrested, but now it is made public that no one else may be vic timized by her.
