TOttmftte anD Sentinel. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 23,1874. MINOR ’TOPICS. Tha Duchess of Edinburgh na reoeotly pre sented with a splendidly bound copy of vhe Holy Scripture* in imperial quarto, enclosed in a beautiful oaken casket. The volume was the gift of more than eight thousand subscribers, maidens of the United Kingdom, and was pre sented by a deputation of fifteen ladies. We are anxious to learn what the Radical caucus in Congress will do to save the party and the country. They seem to resemble another party similarly situated, which was de scribed by J uni us aa tenants who had received notioe to quit, and who were breaking the furni ture and trying to play havoc with the premises. "After ns the delnge," is their motto ; and the deluge Is sertainly earning. Mrs. Stokes is one of the most showy women on the streets of New York. Her husband is legally dead, and the Courta have given her a formal release. Bb* does not sit weeping at home, but enjoys life aith the merriest. She attracts much attention by her fine showy dr#**. Her oonviot husband does not expeat a pardon when Tilden becomes Gover nor, as he wsa a great friend of Fisk in politi cal life. The latest newspaper novelty at New York takes the shape of a Monday morning blanket sheet, containing verbatim reports of the ser mons of all the clergymen in that city and Brooklyn; price, two cents. It is calculated that there are ona hundred thousand regulir church going people who will be willing to buy and read it. At all events, the plan has been arranged, and the first number, if no accident happens, wii. probably appear on or about Jau uarv Ist. Basaine having gone to Southampton and taken paaeage in the Brasilian racket, the ru mor spread that he was on his way to South America ; but these packets touch at Lisbon, and it appears be is going to Spain by way of Portugal. He was formerly in the Spanish army and served six years under Isabella. He rose to the grade of Colonel. He goes to Madrid because his wife’s relations are there; but ho will also offer his services to the Span ish Government. There Is to be a great gathering of arch bishops and bishops at the Yaticsn. They have been called to Borne nominally to consid er the present position of the church, but it is thought outside that the real object of the meeting is to discus# the question of the suc cessor of Pius IX. The Cltramontanes are afraid that anew Pope may come to terms with the King of Italy, and they are, therefore, ta king every preoautipn to fecure the eleotion of an uncompromising Pontiff. Secretary Bristow, it is said, is receiving a large number of letters from leading bankers, business men and manufacturers in different parts of the country, oommending the recom mendations of his report with regard to specie resumption. Most of those who complain of the Secretary’s report are said to be bankrupt or hopelessly in debt. The President and Sec retary are of the opinion that a majority of the people are more strongly in favor of returning to a specie basis than ever before. Tbs actual consumption of imported liqaors In Canada during the year 1873 was 2.573,623 gallons, to which must be added 4,739,027 gal lons of domestic spirits, mostly whisky, the to tal being 7,313.650 gallons. Of foreign ale. porter, etc., there were consumed 439,875 gal lons, and of home-made liquors of the same olass, 10,975,160 gallons. The grand total of spirituous and malt liqaors oonsnmed in Cana da in that year is thus shown to be 18.727,685 gallons, of which the money value is estimated at $31,561,703. Aa illustrative of the hard times, it may bo mentioned, says the Baltimore OasHte, that oontributions to the foreign missions of the Evangelical Churches never came in bo slowly as In 1874. The Presbyterian Board, "after curtailing its operations materially and pain fully," finds that it will not receive enough to meet its expenses. The American Board has closed its fiscal year with a defioit of $30,000. The Methodist Board are said to be SIOO,OOO in debt, Heformod Church is largely in ar rears. and so, it is believed, are the Southern Presbyterians and Baptists. Here is an item interesting to ladies, as im plying the possibility of something now in wed ding presents —the very hardest presents to select wisely: “Tho ctrbeilk iU mariage is a I’renoh institution whioh might advantageously be imported. Formerly, as the name implies, it was a big basket in which the trousseau and wedding presents were laid. It is now a hand some piece of cabinet maker’s work—a sort of small wardrobe, set round with satin lined and padded drawers. Relatives and intimate friends are expected to come and see the corbviUe, which is on show for many days before the wedding at the house of the bride. Persons wishing to make presents are thns afforded an opportunity of knowing what to avoid. A marriod Englishman in Paris lately be came dosperately enamored of an actress, who in tarn was in love witli a set of diamonds in Rue de la Paix. The lover, however, thought 20,000 franos too dear, and offered the jeweler 14,000 franos. The lady then called privately an the jeweler and offered to pay the differ nce, on the condition that the gentleman have them at his pries, whioh was agreed to. Next day the Englishmen purchased the gem < at his price, but on the way to his hotel met a friend, who ridiculed and shamed him into starting at otiae to London with the jewels as a present to his wifs. Tho jeweler has sinoe presented his bill for 6,000. New York's Democratic Mayor elect, Mr. Wickham, starts off well. A delegation from the comer sample rooms called on him re cently to seoure tho reversion of a re-ponaible and lucrative appointment for one of their friends. “No.” said Mr. Wickham; “not fit.” •“Well,” said the spokesman, "if you don’t our ward willgobaok on you." “The whole oitv aan go back on me if it chooses.” said Mr. Wickham, “but I want it distinctly understood that 1 have determined to have no shoulder hitters, political liangers-on or incompetent persons about me. 1 want the city business earned on in a systematic manner, and if those whom I shall appoint fail to do it, I will get others that can. Good day, gentlemen.” There is a gloomy prospect ahead for Pitts burg. A strike of the puddlers has oaused the eloaing of all the furnaces and rolling mills, throwiug 30,000 to 49,000 men out of employ ment, and stopping the distribution of $1,000,- 000 a weak in wagss. 'The reduction of wages proposed by employers was not very great; but tbs puddlera oould not stop to disouss the question; they determined on tho strike at ouoe. If they oould not get a whole loaf, they would hare uo bread. These men do not re alise their insanity. People with so much idle time on their hands ought to make an intelli gent study of the labor market. A few hours' close application to the faots might bs of more benefit to them than a slight increase of wagss. An interesting suit has been oommenoed in Naw York against Daniel Drew, Jacob A. Van derbilt and others, as stockholders of the New Jersey Steam Navigation Company, which owned the People's line of steamers to Albany, to reotymr a judgment for $6,004. incurred by a collision in 1564. The plaintiff in the Securi ty Insurance Company, whioh alleges that the charter expired by limitation in 1839, and in anticipation of this they sold their property in 1863-1864. realising 190 per eent. on the stock, or nearly $1,000,000, which was divided among its stockholder*, ignoring liabilities. The in dividual stockholders are now sued ou the ground that they are liable. The defense is that the cause of action did not oeour daring the existence of the company. One likes to be informed of the superlative of everything, and eo we read with gratifica tion of a mule (now deceased) in Sonoina county, California—the firmest-minded of any animal of the kind on reoord. He was palling a load of lime which a sudden rain pat into a state of spontaneous combustion. The wagon Ignited. The male stood stock still. The de vouring element attacked his flanks, and still he moved not, but remained aa self-possessed as a martyr. They wanted to detaoh him from the oonsuniing vehicle, bat he wouldn’t be de tached, biting aud kicking those who would fain have rescued him. He endured the heat as calmly as a Hindoo widow, .while his deepair ing owner stood by rendering himself liable to a similar fata at some future time by the moat reckless us* of profane language. Peace to the ashes of that male! Thirty boxes belonging to the Rev. J. P. Newman, D. D.. have been detained at the Naw York Custom House. They are no doubt filled with curiosities and aouveaiers collected by Dr. Newman in bis round-the-world tour of Consoler inspection. Private citizens would, ! of course, be made to pay duties on such an amount of foreign articles, and even on a sin gle box. Greater liberty, however, is accorded to dignitaries. Ministers Plenipotentiary are free from Custom House espionage. Indeed, it has been set down as their chief prerogative that they get their cigars free of duty. As In spectors of Consulate* are a modem creation —we are not sure that the office was not es pecially invented for Dr. Newman—we are not aware that there is any precedent for action in the present case. It is probable, however, that the President will be lenient to his old pastor, and order the release of the boxes. The Chicago Sunday Times comes to the de fense of Lucretia Borgia, “ tho most horribly traduoed woman that ever lived, declaring that “ she waa a dutiful daughter, an affectionate sister, a loyal wife, a faithful mother, a devo ted Christian and a benevolent woman.” We were never very intimately acquainted with La —indeed, we can hardly be said to have been acquainted with her at all—and can, therefore, claim little or no personal knowledge as to what sort of a woman she really was; but we used to hear people tell some pretty tough sto ries about her, and if but one half of those stories were but half true she lacked some sev eral odd per cent, more or less, of being the divine creature she is represented to hare been by the Timts. But she is dead, we hear, and may the Great Judge be as little inclined to in vestigate hex character as w* are. CHARLIE ROBB. Hls Kidnappers Shot Dead While Com mitting Another Felony—Desperate Battle With Burglars at Bay Ridge— The Ruffians Killed While Trying to Kot> Jnage Yan Brunt’s House—A Dying Desperado’s Confession—Dis covery of the Lost Child Considered Certain—The Dead Men’s Career. [New York Times] On the eastern side of the Upper Bay, within abont half a mileof the Narrows, the Long Island shore, rises into an un even and beantifully wooded bluff, known as Bay Bidge. On one of these headlands, about a mile from the land ing, stand two handsome dwellings, one an old-fashioned but well preserved house of the Long Island pattern, and the other of the more modern style of country villa. The latter is the resi dence of Mr. J Holmes Yan Brant, brother of Judge Van Brunt, now pre siding in the Supreme Court, Part 11., New York County Court House, and the other is used as a Summer residence by the Judge himself, who was bom be neath its roof, and continues to retain possession of it. The houses are sepa rated only by a small piece of boundary lawn. When the Judge was closing np his house at the end of the season, he very prudently furnished it with a burg lar alarm telegraph, which conveys in formation of the slightest interference with any of its floors or windows into the bed room of Mr. Holmes Van Brunt, in the adjoining house. On yesterday morning, at 2 o’clock, this alarm bell rang the changes violently. Mr. Vah Brunt and his wife and daughter were awake and heard it, the old gentleman being on a bed of sickness and general wakefulness, from which he has suffered for two or three weeks, and the ladies being in attend ance on a sick child. Up stairs and asleep was Mr. Albert Van Brunt, a grown up son of the old gentleman, whom Miss Van Brunt called immedi ately. When he came down stairs the father said, “Albert, go over and see what has sounded that alarm; I guess the wind has blown open one of those blinds again”—an occurrence which had more than once before caused the bell to ring. Albert complained a little about having to step down and ont all alone, but, remembering the old gentleman’s illness, he went nevertheless, first taking the precaution to put a pistol in his Eocket. Approaching his uncle’s house, e noticed a flickering light throngh the blinds of one of the windows. Then he returned to his own house, told his father about the light, procured a lan tern for himself, and went to wake up William Scott, the Judge's gardener, who lived in a cottage close by. On their way back Scott and Albert made another reconnoisance, and ascertained that more than one man was in the house with the light. They then went to the bam and awoke Herman Frank, the hired man, whom they enrolled in their force. Placing his little squad in watch—one man in front and the other behind the Judge’s house—Mr. Albert Van Brunt returned once more to his father and reported. By this time the old man felt as if he should “ make an effort,” and he made it. Though suf fering excruciatingly from an inward pain, he got oat of bed and dressed him self. He and Albert gathered what guns and pistols were in the house, and went forth into the darkness. When he got a few yards beyond his own stoop, he saw the light in the other house, and made up his mind that he had “ busi ness ” before him. A Shrewd Plan of Attack. .He sent his son to call the gardener and the hired man to him, and when they oame he said, “Now, boys, we have work to do, and must understand each other. We mu3t capture these fellows, if we can. without killing them ; but if they resist we’ll defend ourselves. Al bert, you and Scott stand before the front door ; Frank and I will take the rear; and, whatever happens afterward, let us remain in the positions we take up. because if we move around we’ll be certain to shoot each other in the dark instead of the enemy. Whichever way they come let the two who meet them take care of them as best they can. If they come out and scatter both ways then we’ll have a chance to work.” Al bert and the gardener went to the front, as directed, and the old gentleman and his hired man took up a position close to tha rear entrance. The night was pitchy dark, cold and wet. The watch ers waited patiently for nearly an hour, while the intruders went together through every room in the house, search ing for booty, with the rays from their dark lanterns flashing now and then through the chinks in the shutters.— At length they came down to the basement floor and into the pan try Through the window of this little apartment Mr. Van Brunt could see the hard-looking faoes of the two burglars distinctly. He could have shot them down there and then in per fect safety for himself and his com panions; but he still wished to refrain from taking life until he could be cer tain that they would show deadly resist ance. He did not wish, he said, to kill them in the house, nor in any other way than in self-defense. They left the pantry and went into the dining-room, where they delayed long enough to make the watchers think they meant to remain all night. But the cold and damp air of the inclement night soon began to tell on the elder Van Brunt, and he could stand the waiting no longer. Findiug he was growing numb and weak, he de termined to “push things,” and stand ing in front of the back door he ordered the hired man to open it quickly. Frank proceeded to obey, but in trying to get the key into the keyhole he made a noise which the burglars heard. Their light went out immediately, and their footsteps were heard descending the cellar stairs. The Battle Begun. Mr. Van Brunt and his man moved to ward the trap door of the cellar. This was soon opened and the body of a man protruded, followed by the head of an other. Mr. Van Brunt cried out, “stand !” aud called to his son and com panions to remain still and “look out.” In response to his command two pistol shots from the cellar door flashed al most in his face, but nothing hit him. He then leveled his revolver at the foremost man and pulled, and a cry of agony fol lowed. The other man fired at him a second time, and then ran toward the front of the house. He dashed almost into the arms of young Van Brunt, at whom he fired two more shots, luckily missing him also. The fellow having got between Albert and the white wall, the latter oould see the nrm raised for another shot, but before it could be fired the arm was struck down and broken near the elbow by a blow from Mr. Van Brunt’s shot gun, which was also smashed. Changing the pistol to his left hand, and calling his adversary a vile name, the burglar attempted to fire again; but before be could do so young Van Brunt had whipped out his revolver and sent a bullet into his would be murderer’s breast. The burglar stag gered, received another bullet in his head, and fell. Meantime the vil lian from whom the elder Mr. Van Brant’s ballet had brought the howl of pain continued to fire away in the dark, and the hired man replied with a discharge from his shot-gun. In short, as far as any of the survivors can now remember, the fusillading here became general, the only thing positively known after the second or third shot being the gratifying fact that while none of the defenders of the Jndge’s property were hurt, the two burglars were literally rid dled with bullets. One was stone dead, with his empty seven-shooter under his head; the other lived until five o’clock— about two hours. The battle was heard i in their houses by many of the neigh ; bore, and the awful suffering of Mrs. | Van Brunt and Miss Van Brunt, who | watched the whole affray from their ! window, is something that cannot very i well be told. It was no more nor less than the woman, the wife and the mother, that soon afterward spoke, when Mrs. Van Brunt, in reply to a re quest for some whisky for the burglar, said, “ Whisky for him ? for the man who tries to kill my husband ? Oh, no I I don’t want him to live—let him die. A{ all events, he gets no whisky from me!” ▲ Dying Man’s Revelation. A number of the neighbors came rush j ing to the place, and got there by the time the shooting was over. Among them was a sailor named Herkey, who entered into conversation with the younger of the two thieves who was still alive. Of this conversation Mr. Herkey give? the following statement : “I was asleep, when I waa roused by the dis charge of firearms. I sprang out of bed hastily and went to the window. I threw up my window, and coaid tell by the sound that it was OTer at Judge Yan Brunt’s hoqse. I called as loud as I could, ‘Do you want any help over there V The answer came at once, ‘Yea,’ in Mrs. Van Brunt’s voice. I re membered at once the chicken scrape they had over there, and I thought per haps there were thieves over there, and they might need help to capture them. As soon as I got the word yes I hurried on my clothes and called to my brother Thomas, who I found was already up, and we seized our guns and ran over. As soon as we got over there we found that the two men were both shot. The one called Mosher waq dead, having re ceived two wounds in the back, one of whioh I think mast have gone straight through his lungs. Douglass, however, wis alive, although horribly maDgled with the gunshot wound, and lay in mor tal agony down by the fenoe where he had been shot. I went to him and he asked for whisky. X got some whisky for him and ha pushed it away aftsr tasting it, and called for water. I got him some water and he drank ; t. I asked him who he wus, and he said his name was Joseph Douglass, and that he was a single man, having no relations except a brother and sister, whom he had not seen for twelve or fifteen years. Mosher, he said was a married man and had five children. Then, he said, * Ifs no uae lying now, I helped to steal Charlie Ross !’ When I heard this, I sent right away to get all the people to gether that I could, so that the evidence that he might give wonld be fully estab lished. He said that he helped Mosher to steal Charlie Ross; that he was in the buggy with Mosher when they stole him. * Mosher knows all about tt,’ said he. I told him Mosher was dead, and asked him to tell me the particularss. ‘ In spector Walling knows,’ said he, ‘ and the Itoy will get home all right.’ I questioned him further, but could not get anything more ont of him, as be was suffering so terribly that he oould not talk.” The Dead C'Aminala. The neghbore then sent to New- Utrecht for Constable Holland, who took charge of the (lead and wounded and made a merely formal arrest of the survivors. The dead man and his al most dead companion were drawn into shelter. Upon them was found two sets of burglars’ tools, of a very neat pat tern, and possessing all the modern im provements, and an extra set was found in a boat which they had moored yrithin a little breakwater in front of the Van Brunt premises. About 5 o’clock, just when medical aid arrived, though un availing, Douglass died. He used his two hours in uttering expressions of penitence and piety, and cried eagerly for a minister to speed his parting soul; but when informed a few moments be fore be, breathed his last prayer that there was really only one man against him when he fell, he uttered a savage curse of regret that he did not know that in time, otherwise the relative con dition of himself and Mr. Van Brunt wonld have been different just then.

Neophogen College.—We invite the attention of parents and guardians of children especially, and of the public, to the announcement of Neophogen College in this issue of the Examiner. It is a matter in which our own imme diate citizens are vitally interested. The town and county desire the establish ment of good, first-class institution of learning at their doors for the facilities of educating their boys and girls’under their own eyes is to be considered, to say nothing of the superior cheapness. From a financial point of view it is de sirable, because large and flourishing schools bring money into our pockets instead of sending it abroad. The ener gy which Prof. Walton has shown in his labors heretofore at Cross Plains, and since his removal to Gallatin, are en couraging. He has gathered about him a large staff of competent assistants in every department of the College, and will be able, in every respect, to meet his promises to build up a first-class literary school. He deserves the warm support of our people, and we doubt not will receive it, and we confidently look forward in a few years to number the pupils of the College by hundreds. —Gallatin ( Tenn .)

QUINN, ecl3~3m 75 Jackson St., Angwta, Ga. Financial and Commercial. Weekly Review of Angnsta Market. , Acousta, Ga.. Fexdat Afternoon, 1 December 18,'1874- ) The Financial Situation. The financial situation has somewhat im proved since our last weekly report. The troubles of the four houses which failed did not ramify to any great extent in the city, and the apprehensions tuat arose therefrom are quietly passing away. Of course these failures could not occur in any commercial community no larger than this without more or less com ment, without money lenders taking more or less precaution. Rut when we reflect that the causes which led to the suspensions had their origin all of six|months and one and two years ago. and that they have only just culminated, it will be admitted that there is nothing in the present condition of the country or of the com mercial world that justifies the belief that any other sus pensions wJI be made. The sales of Cotton this week foot np 9,020 bales The gross aggregate amount of money received we estimate at $586,309- The total amount of sales for the season sum np 95,490 bales, and the amount of money $6,216,850. In the face of these facts we cau scarcely see hew currency can be otherwise than abundant. Aud so it is. But whether plentiful afloat in the community or in banka we may differ in opinion, but there is no doubt as to the receipt of the above sums. Asa rule bills are being met promptly. Many merchants insist that they have not in years experienced so little difficulty in making collections. The surplus held in bank is not very large, but still ample with which to do all legitimate business, discount such bills as are unquestioned, and to move the Cotton crop. Slow, indefinite and doubtful paper is not in request and freely rejected. Stocks and Bonds. The market is quiet. The demand, if any thing, is less than we have noticed daring the Fall. Railway stock continue to sink The late meeting of a portion of the stockholders in the Central Railroad at Savannah and their resolution to appoint a committee to investigate its affairs, prostrated its stock, causing it to fall from 60 to 50 and 55 with the offerings out of proportion to the demand. Municipal se curities are firmer and in better demand. We make the following changes in the last pub lished quotations : City of Augusta 7’a, long date, have advanced from 82 to 82). Rome 7’s from "nominal” to 60, bid Georgia 7’s. Jen kins’ mortgage, from 88@90 to 90®92. Rail way Bonds have not changed. Georgia Rail road Stock has fallen from 74@75 to 70@721. Southwestern from 77@78 to 75@76. Bank of Augusta has advanced from 100 to 100®102. Augusta Factory from “147 bid to 150 asked,” to 150. The Provision Market. Trade has now entered upon its Christmas holiday activity. The demand for the lighter or fancy grades of provisions and groceries has been very active since our last general review, aud for heavy plantation supplies there has been a steady trade. The stocks on hand and the receipts have been equal to the demand.— Tha receipts of Western grain have been light. Of smoked Meats next to nothing, of bulks liberal, and of Tennessee dressed and live Poultry, Butter and Eggs the market has been and is well supplied. It is noticed that the Poultry now coming forward is the finest we have received in years. In this respect, at least. Augusta may promise itself a superb Christmas.

THE AWGUSTA MARKETS. Argusta. December 19, 1874. General Remarks. The weather looked gloomy and threatening. Heavy clouds are floating, indicating a sum mary . and effectual ending of the bright, beautiful and unprecedented Fall we have passed through. But few men now living oan remember its parallel. It is indeed re markable for four months to pass over any land aotually outside of the tiopics without any more than that many rains falling. This splendid weather has given the planters not only the finest opportunity to gather their crops, but to plant Fall grain, plow and prepare their ground for next season’s operations. We are glad to know that the amount sown is unusually heavy. The only direot road to prosperity Is thi*. Trade To-Day Was only moderate.
