The @hieago Tribame. Tuesday Morning, November 5, 1872. The cholera has spread beyond Hungary, and appears at Vienns, Berlin, 'snd Prague. — Voters will find, in this morning’s TRIBUNE, the boundaries of each election district, the voting- place ir each, the names of judges, and other information for their guidance. — Four deaths occurred among the 7 ~<es of Chicego yesterdsy, but are attributed noc o the severity of the disesse but to the fact that they were overworked while enfeebled by it. R —————— Damages to the amount of-a million dollars are claimed in a suit brought against the Union Pacific, by the Kanses Pacific Railroad, on account of discrimination against it in the trans- portation of freight and passengers. Young men need no longer complain of want of employment. A large opening cxists in the pusiness of heuling wagons and the delivery of packages. Lileral wages can be earned from now until the close of the Hepporhinorhes, by aur young man who will get a truck, wheel- ‘arrow or light vehicle to move packages. 1t isthe dutyof every man inChicagoto go to the pollsand vote. Nomatter whiat bis politicsmay e, hie owes it to society, and law. and order, to go to the polls, and express bis choice and his opin- jons by his vote. It is only by afull vote that there can be any fair cloice of government. A full and discriminating vote will give us a com- petent and honest City and County Government. Even if no more were involved, that result alone 13ht to induce every citizen to vote. — A correspondent inquires twhether Charley Reed's receipt for £500 is a good bond to hold a criminal on. We answer, No. The person un- der indictment “for driving away & horse,” sometimes called horse-stealing, can recover the : ) in an action of debt, and still refuse to make his appearance for trial. : The Chicago money market is stringent yet, though less so than last week. Merchants are collecting with moderate success in the country. But the bulk of their collections goes forward ab once to pay Eastern debts. Pork-packers, also, are calling on the banks for liberal advances, and, on the whole, the demand for moneyis still much larger than the suppl; The Horse Railway Companics of the North and South Sides have obtained the consent of the Common Council to run dummy-engines on their tracks for fifteen days or less, at the pleas- ure of the Council—any increase of fare being expressly forbidden. Within 2n hour after per- mission was given a train was running on the track of the Chicago City Railway Company. Both Companies will have dummies at work to- day. Ninety thonsand barrels of pork, instead of the ten thousand or fifteen thousand usually on hand at this time of the year, are now cornered in this city, by mainly & single firm, who have drained not only this market, but, reversing the ordinary curents of the business, have im- ported sixty thousand barrels from other points. In consequence of these operations it is said there has been scarcely a transaction in the pro- vision trade for three months, and pork-packers hesitate in face of such a stock to manufacture any additional messpork for the market. ‘Where is the coming man who will be the first to adapt a light traction engine to the smoothly paved streets of Chicago? It shounld be light, strong, with wide tread wheels moving its pis- tons silently, and winning its way by utility, do- cility, and strength,—quslities in which steam has never deceived the human family, when once on the track. It can be done, and there is 10 city in the world which offers a better area for its entire and easy triumph. The old cry of frightening horses need not now keep back in- vention from the nse of steam on common roads. Necesgity is the mother of invention. Let the first boon of the present emergency be a steam road wagon. And when the horses come back to their work they will specdily get used to all innovations. Posterity will, perhaps, wonder, after all, how we came to depend so exclusively upon the muscles of the horse as bearer of the ‘burdens of community. The Chicago produce markets were generally dull yesterday, at the inside prices of Saturday. Mess pork was dull, and easier for future deliv- ery; old held at $15.00 ; new nominal at $13.75 (@14.00 for cash, and quiet at $12.50 seller De- cember. Lard was dull and steady at 75c cash or seller December, and 77@8c seller March. Meats were dull at 474@5c for part salted shoul- ders, T{e for do short ribs, and 8¢ for do short clear. Highwines were scarce, and advanced e, closing at 893¢c. Lake freights were quiet, ‘but advanced 1c, closing at 14¢ for corn and 15¢ for wheat to Buffalo. Flour was in moderate demand, and steady. Wheat was dull and easi- er, closing at $1.07%{ cash, and $1.07% seller September. Corn was dull and a shade easier, closing firm st 32)c seller the month, and 8134c seller December, Oats were quiet and steedy at 208{c, seller the month, and 22}/@ 2214c, seller December. Rye wasiin demand, and firm at 53%@54c. RBarley was dull, and de- clined 1@1%4c on No. 2, closing at 62c; No. 8 steady at 51@51%4c. The hog market was active and firm. Eastern and local buyers operated on a liberal scale at $4.80@4.62}¢ for inferior to extra. The cattle and sheep marketsruled quiet and unchanged. The visible sapply of grain from New York is 7,128,911 bu wheat, 12,902,923 bu corn, 5,067,901 bu oats, and 2,645,092 bu bar- ley. The corresponding quantities a year ago were 9,706,574 bu wheat, 5,958,291 bu corn, 6,320,~ 096 bu oats, and 1,728,339 bu barley, — THE ELECTION TO-DAY. To-day the people of the United States, more or less afflicted with horse-disease, liquor- saloons, Sundsy laws, and & tight money-market, vote upon the guestion who shall be President the next four years. The time for argument upon national issues has gone by, and most people will be glad of that. A word or two upon local questions may still be useful. The chief contest in the city to-day will be upon candidates for Congress, for Legislature, and for Aldermen. The Liberal nomineesfor Con- gress are Lucius B. Otis, Carter H. Harrison, and John V. LeMoyne. Three more reputable and competent citizens were never offered to the people of any community for their votes. If the people were asked which of the opposing candidates they would most readily choose for the management of their private affairs, they wonld certainly select Judge Otis, Mr. Harrison, and Mr. LelMoyne, rather than their competi- tors. If they were asked what candidates would 5dd most dignity and decorum to the National House of Representatives, they wounld decide in favorof thesame men. If they were asked what candidates wonld give to the City of Chi- cago the better reputation in the National coun- cils, they would decide in favor of the same men. All we ask is that they shall vote to-day as thongh they were voting for men to take charge of their private interests, to add dignity and usefulness to the public councils, and to guard the reputation of the City of Chict3o at the National Capitol. This 18 not an unreason- ! able request. In the election of Legislative candidatesiis in- volved the choice of & United States Senator. If the Liberal ticket, or a mejority of it, is elect- edin this city and county, Senator Trumbull will probably be returned to the place he has so long and honorably filled. The other gide offer | us Richard J. Oglesby. In all those qualities fitted to adorn the Senate Chamber, and to give reputation and moral power to a State in the per- son of her chief public servant, Senator Trumbull is not only the superior of Governor Oglesby, but the superior of nine-tenths of all the per- sons now filling or aspiring to the Senat orial of- fice. As alawyer, a statesman, & gentloman, &n i independent and conecientious thinker and sctor in the station he has prominently occupied, his record challenges the “respect, confidence, and admiration of all upright men. The people of Chicago cannot afford to lose the”services of such a man, and we apprebend they will so de- cide to-day. | the ward caucuses of both parties, we have here- toforo expresed the opinion that the public in- terests will be best eerved by a liberal use of the poncil in scratching their names off. Some of them are reputable and worthy citizens, and their names will be readily recognized by their neighbors when they come to the polls. Others are scallawags and dend-beats of the lowest order, having no other interest in the city than to sell their votes to the highest bidder, while still others are noto- rious thioves, gamblers, and confidence men. The experiment of mixing together National politics and Municipal Government is o stark failure, productive of the worst results, afford- ing the best field for the gperation of scoundrels that conld possibly be devised. The only way to avert & grave danger threatening our City Gov- ernment is for the people to vote against every candidate for the office of Alderman who is without visible means of support, and who isnot known to Lis neighbors to be an honest man. FREE TRADE WITH CANADA. At the recent meeting of the National Board of Trado there was no question which attracted more attention, or which elicited more earnest discussion than that of reciprocity with Canada. This subject has pessed the point when mere sectional prejudices or local interests can longer influence or control the judgment of thinking men. The last and most formidable counter- scheme was for the National Government to ad- vance to the State of New York a sufficient amount of money to enable that State to enlarge the Erie Canal. But that measure met with no favor. To press it was to invite applications equally plausible for the construction by the Federal Government of half a dozen other water routes to the Atlantic. Buteven if it were possible for the General Government to engagein a system of canal improvements, costing in the aggregate $200,000,000, and tak- ing twenty-five years to complete, the difficulties which reciprocity can remove, would still exist. The National Board of Trade, therefore, with great unanimity, voted down all propositions to ask the National Government to undertake to ‘build new routes of transportation. Inthe debates on this question, one of the sblest presentations of the argument in favor of reciprocity was made by Mr. A. 8. Hawley, of Detroit. He had evidently investigated the subject on principle, and in detail. The repre- sentatives of Canadas who were present, had suggested that there be an arrangement for re- ciprocal free trade; the products of the two countries be admitted into the territory of each upon an equal footing; and, as an essential item to the success of this trade, the Canadian Government would so enlarge the Welland Canal, and the canals along the St. Lawrence River, as to afford continuous navi- gation for the largest size esiling and steam vessels from all ports on the lakes to Montreal. The Canadian Government would execute this work of enlargement at its own oxpense, tho cost amounting to sabout £10,000,000. This whole proposition Mr. Hawley treated =8 one which ought not to be delayed a day. The voluntary action of the Canadian Government would furnish us at once with the long-needed cheap and sufficient transportation to the ocean. ‘The opening of this route would place everylake port, and the whole West in direct water com- munication with the Atlantic. Included in this canal enlargement was the opening of naviga- tion from the upper lakes to Lake Champlain, thus giving the West cheap transportation to all New England a8 well as to the Atlantic. Recip- rocal trade was demanded, however, apart from the transportation question. Our people were taxed most oppressively to Leep out chesp lumber from Canads. Lumber was an indispensable article to every farmer, and there were thousands of land-owners in the ‘West who were unable to fence their fields be- cause of the excessive price of lumber. TUn- taxed lumber would be one of the greatest boons to the Western States. The reduction in the price of lumber resulting from reciprocal trade would more than equal all the duties collected on all goods now imported from Canada. The boundary line between the United Statesand Canada is long end tortuons. Both Govern- monts maintain a large and costly revenue force to prevent smuggling, and yet smuggling is common along the whole border, from Maine to Minnesote. Itcannot be arrested. It is com- "| mitted every day by persons belonging to both countries passing to and fro. Qur Government receives revenue upon but s small portion of the goods brought in, yot is at an espense for Custom Houses and officials which is far in excess of the duties collected. Reciprocal trade wonld dispense with all these Custom Houses and sll this array of Customs officials ; it would open Canada as a market to the products and manufactures of the United States, of which the Canadians stand in need, and would give to the people of this country a variety of products, of which we stand in need, at greatly reduced prices. The question of pro- duction was hardly involved. It was the prohi- bition of trade between countries closely con- nected and land-locked, which reciprocity would break up. by delegates from Cincinnati, Philadelphis, and the whole Convention of merchants repre- senting the commerce of all sections of the country ; and the result was a recommendation that Congress suthorize & Commission to ar- range the details of a commercial treaty for re- ciprocal trade with Canada on a fair and liberal basis. POPULARIZING SCIENCE. The efforts which have been' made within the past few yoars on the part of authors and pub- lishers to bring scientific matters within the comprehengion and appreciation of the reading masses have succeeded beyond anything that the most sanguine sgvans could have hoped. A prominent publishing house of New York has just announced a list of what it appropriately calls “Popular Monographs,” that makes up a quarter of a column of the average newspaper sheet, and which embraces a variety of subjects and an array of scientific names that attest the progress that has been made in this direction. There are Professor Tyndall, Huxley, Sir Johdi Lubbock, Dr. W. B. Carpenter, Herbert Spencer, Professor Claude Bernard, of the College of France, Pro- fessor Quetelet, of the Brussels Academy of Science, Professor’ Rudolph Virchow, of the University of Berlin, and at least o dozen other gentlemen of high scientific attainments from ‘different countries who are contributing to this sories of pamphlets, The rangé of subjects in- cludes the Principles of Mental Physiology, the Antiquity of Man, Reiations of Mind and Body, the connection between Physics and Politics, the Study of Sociology, the Exact Sciences Explained Of the candidates for Aldermen nominated by to the Non-Mathematical, the question of Mind The same broad and liberal views were talen | in the Lower Animals, Protoplasm and the Cell Theory, Zoology, Social Physics, snd explana- tions of the various attributes and actions of the forces of nature. The announcement of so extensive an assort- ‘ment of treatises, written with the purpose of meeting the appreciation of the non-scientific community, leaves no doubt that the efforts that have been made to popularize matters that had been regarded a8 dry, abstract, and uninterest- ing, have met with decided success. The means of atteining ihis desired end have been gradual and interesting. They have been the outgrowth of the latter-day tendency to reduce all questions of society, government and even religion to & scientific basis. Among the first means adopted for the greater diffusion of scien- tific treatises was the “admission of scien- tific subjects into the populer mag- azines. Such ~men as Professor Schele DeVere, possessing the happy faculty of presenting scientific matters divested of their technicalities, open the way for an almost en- tirely new element in literature. The next im- pulse given to the work of increasing the popu- lar knowledge of scientific matters came from France, where the appearance of books like those included in the * Library of Wonders,” and like *“The History of a Mouthfal of Bread,” invested these subjects with an interest that is common to all people who can find them in a form thet they understand. These books were tranelated, their excellent illustrations were duplicated, and they found an unexpected- ly large apprecintion and patronage. About this time, too, it was discovered that it was pos- sible for some mon to be at once scientists and litterateurs. The works of Huxley, Darwin, Tyn- dall, and Herbert Spencer were found to possess remarkable beauty of styleas well as intrinsicin- terest. The originality of thought which dev- eloped new and startling theories struck a chord of popular appreciation which the more earnest ‘but more abstruse investigation had failed to touch. The time came when the doctrines of evolution and a universal basis of life formed favorite topics forsocial discourse. Then it was that a periodical was established in the interest of science for non-scientific readers, which already seems fo be founded upon & remunera- tive basis. The result of this progress in popularizing seience cannot be other than beneficial. The in- fluence of the work is mutual,—enlightening 8 class of readers who have heretofore looked to ‘more trifling matters for their literary enjoyment, and also bringing to thecause of science many crude, but strong and active minds. The new element will be felt in all branches of literature. The novelist will not dare to neglect it. It will fur- nish Jiterary travellera with anew field that may be cultivated to advantage. And, better still, it will probably have the effect of bringing the purer scientific minda into closer contact with the people, and, once shorn of their exclusive technicalities and selfish obscurity, they may prove to be as fashionable aa they are usefal. Itis a matter for congratulation that the new scientific tendency has developed as rapidly in onr own country as elsewhere. CHARLES DICKENS AND HIS BIOGRAFPHER. The announcement is made that Mr. Forster proposes to give, in the second volume of his “ Life of Dickens,” & version of thedistinguish- ed novelist's difficulties with his wife, charging the responsibility of the separation upon the latter. Itis stated, at the same time, that young Charles Dickens will avail himself of his edito- rial control of A% the Year Round to controvert Mr. Forster’s statements, and present to the pub- lic & version of the unfortunate diesgreement of his parents that shall be favorable to his moth- er, with whom he has always taken sides. Itis to bo hoped that so mseless a controversy will not be started at this or any time, but particu- larly now when 80 many persons are living who would be seriously mortified and harassed by any verdict that public opinion might render. But the morbid curiosity that the public has al- ways exhibited concerning the intimate person- al relations of public men, and the patronage that has been bestowed mpon all publications of this character, regardless of the real merits of the controversies, render it highly probable that the promised exposition of Charles Dick- ens’ domestic life cannot be averted. Is there any reason why public men should be denied the immunity from & public scrutiny of their private lives whichis conceded to com- mon mortals? Can it be that & deyotion to the interests or amusement of mankind include, among many other sacrifices, that of every rela- tion which is regarded as most exclu- sive and sscred. If the answer is to be based wupon results, it should be in the megative. The mnewspaper interviewer of to-day isbut a different embodi- ment of & spirit that i as old as the disposition tomeddle in everybody's business, which has been found in £1l ages, He is a modern counter- part of Samuel Pepys, who revelled in the gos- sip and scandal of his time. The popular knowledge of great men of the past is an indica-~ tion that the revolations of inner life are not new to the world. Mark Antony is not so well Iknown for his martial exploits as for his amour with Cleopatra. Thousands of people who have not the remotest idea who -and what Abelard was, are familiar enough with the perticuler episode of his life in connection with Eloise. There are many sympathetic and senti- ‘mental souls that have sipped the sweetness of % Graziells,” who have never heard of the fact that its author-confessor, Lamartine, once con- trolled the entire population of Paris at a pitch of excitement when no other man weuld have been heard. Alexandre Dumas’ social life is even better known than his novels. Thackeray's domestic troubles, so much like those of Dickens in outward aspect, are more familiar than the character of Becky Sharp. There are many Americans ignorant of the fact that Aaron Burr was ever Vice President of the TUnited States who canretail all the scandal abount him. The wretch who uncovered Byron's dead body torevesl to the world the deformity of s limb will be remembered as long as the poet himself, So,in 2ll times, and in the treat- ment of all classes of public men;: there seems to be a popular desire that their follies, foibles, and private misfortunes shall have as prominent a place in history as the evidences of their greatness and goodness. Though results such as we have indicated ap- pear to be responses to the general curiosity of mankind, there is no doubt that theyare encour- sged and stimulated by the very agencies which should do most to repress them. Mr. Forster is notably, to blame for the proposed revival of o scandal thet should Ilong since have been buried beneath the regrets, remorse, and suffefing which it must have occasioned. Hs is & man who should rise sbovg the tempta- tion to pander to any vicious tastes. - He does not need the attraction of this feature to render his book stuccessful and profitsble. The univer- sal interest in the subject of his biography, and the confidenco that he is possessed of peculiar facilities and sufficient sbility for telling the story of Dickens' life, are enough to enable him to attsin all that he can de- gire in the publication of his book. No vindication of Dickens’ private life from his pen could incresse the admiration of the public or the pleasure found in his books. 3Mra. Dickens, whether blameworthy or not, has led a quiet, unaffected life, and her troubles are not public property. . Mr. Forster did not resist a similar temptation in writing the life of Landor, the poet, and it ia to be feared that he will not re- frain now. If he wonld deign, however, to learn & lesson from o womsan, he might recall the circumstance that Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe did far more harm to herself in her mistaken raid upon Byron, under the cover of & justifica- tion of Lady Byron, than to the object of her attack. Italian Brigandage. The Italisn brigand has long ceased to be an object of romantic interest. Even the oft-sung story of Fra Diavolc has not inspired the Lady Allcashes with any affectionate regard for him, nor has My Lord come to viewhim in any other light than that of & very vulgar and brutal high- waymsn, who does not hesitate to murder for money. And yet there must be something rotten in that system of Government which al- lows brigandage to flourish without check, and cannot protect travellers in its own dominions, The story of Crocco, recently told by the Naples correspondent of the London Times, is an in- stance of this. His recent trial shows that heis the hero of one hundred and thirty-four crimes, The act of accusation charged him with thirty-six heavy crimes, selected from 130 which had been admitted by the Grand Jury, and there still remained the following charges which hed not been decided by that body, being of & mixed character, that is, both political and criminal: 4 for having attempted to change the form of Government; 4 for inciting tocivil war; 20 cases of extortion of money; 12 cases of rob- bery with violence ; 12 of robbery with murder; 120 cases of plunder of honses; 15 of incendiar- ism; 10 of setting fire to cornstacks; 74 mur- ders ; and 1,000,000 lire of property destroyed. With such & record as this there can be little doubt that Crocco is a monster. And yet Crocco had a defence. He stated before his accusers that he was torn from the arms of his mother by the conscription, and was, therefore, early de- prived of 2 home or of any opportunities to geta start in life, Whilein the service he became associated with the worst of characters, and was led into juvenile crimes, for which he was sentenced to imprisonment in irons for nineteen years. Of his imprisonment he said: “We were shut up, 130 of us, in one room. The prigons were thena hell; I will not say what they are now. We were divided into parties, the Neapolitans againat the Basilischi, e fought with knives, and, on the report of a spy, I was one morning shut up in the Criminale, a kind of sepulchre. There I found several others who had been working at their eacape for some time; they had found some nails, and with them they hod made a hole. When I arrived, they had seen the moon. I joined them. We were soon free, for it was easy work, and we took to the woods.” Robbery with or without violence was his only means of subsistence. He was offered pardon if he would give himself up, and he did so, only to be thrown into prison again, where he was rob- bed even of his garments by the Italian priests. His last words to the Court were: * And now, take my blood. The Government took me from the arms of my mother, the Pontificals tore me in pieces, and now you want my blood.” The oft-maoted question, how far society itself is re- sponsible for crime, is certainly an open one in Ttaly. Under a more enlightened and tolerant form of government Italian brigandage would not exist; undera government of any activity and determination it would be checked. B — A Spanish correspondent of one of the Eng- lish papers gives & curious list of articles which were in the Escuriel, lately partially destroyed by fire and lightning, and which had been col- lected by the devont Spanish Kings. Among them were a bar of the grid-iron on which St. Lawrence was broiled; & piece of the sponge in which drink was given to our Savior on the Cross; some pieces of the column to which he was bound when scourged; two thorns from his crown; a piece of his tunic; a picce of the man- ger in which he was born; the thigh-bone of St. Paul; some bones of the Evangelists, St. Mark and St. Luke; the body of one of the innocents slain by Herod; o finger of St. Lawrence, and half of his backbone; the entire skeletons of Bt. Mauricio, St. Theodorus, St. Mer- cury, St. William, and others; the heads of 8t. Blas, St.Julian, St. Felix, and others; a rib of St. Albans; the knee of St. Sebastian ; a foot of St. Philip, the Apostle; and one of the water-pots from the marrisge feash at Cana.

From the New York World, Nov, 1, Yesterday Detective Tilley, of the New York Detective Force, arrested Gustave E. Kindt, alias Ceptain G. Marshall, at West Hackensack, N. J., on the complaint of Mr. Ernst Thomas, of the Hackensack Jewelry Manufactory, who charged him with opening a safe in his office and stealing therefrom jewelry and money amounting in the aggregate 0 $9,000. Kindt isa Hollander by birth, but since he was 2 lad has seen but littleof his native country, he hn.vinfieme\i several me- chanical trades in Belgium. In 1860 he emigrated to this country with his wife, & young French- ‘woman,and after drifting about put his knowledge of watchmaking and the manafacture of precious metals, which he had acquired during atwo years' residence in Geneva, Switzerland, to ac- count by sccepting & situation in the watchease factory of Wheeler, Parsons & Co., in Franklin Square. Like the higher class of thieves Kindt was a sober man. Kindt settled ‘himself comfortably in his position, cultivated the friendship of those he came in contact with, and laid plans for the realization of his dreams of wealth by perfacting his knowledgo of safes and lock combinations. In February, 1867, the safe in the office of the firm was found appar- ently locked and secare, but on opening it the contents which had been carpfully arranged in it the previous evening, and ivhich consisted of 'WATCH-CASES, GOLD BARS, AND MONEY, valuedat$12,000, weremissing. Detectives were called in, the entire establishment was placed under surveillance, but in spite of every effortno clue was found to the robber. Kindt was not suspected in the slightest degree. His bearing was that of an honest man ; he appeared pained beyond measure at the loss his patrons had sus- tained, and volunteered to devote his leisure ‘hours to aiding his employers and the police in clearing up the mystery. So well did he play Dis part that in the fall of the same yesr, when 2 new factory was opened at Nos. 40 and 42 State street, Brooklyn, he was appointed to a bettor position than the one he heldin the New York establishment, and in it displayed the same zeal that had won him previous advance- ment. In the office of the State strect factory was & new safe, with & combination lock, in which all valuables were placed at night. The secret of the combination was known only to Mr., Wheeler, who was so jealous of it that he ©even kept it from & young man named Henri Jeannette, who occupied the position of confi- Qential clerk, was trusted with property of im- mense value, and who every night assisted in placing goods in the safe, which at times con- tained $50,000 worth. It will not be wondered at, under these circumstances, that Mr. Wheeler was alarmed and mystified on the morning of New Year's Day, 1869, when on opening the cafe, ‘which appeared all right, he FOUND IT COMPLETELY EMPTY, every articlo of value having been removed, at a loss to the firm of over 18,000. The most rigid surveillance foiled to discover any- thing wrong in regard to the employes. Supposed clues were followed up to end in smoke, and finally, when at the point of giv- ing up the mattor as a bad job, and while sus- pecting every one around them, even to mem- bers of their own families, the firm paid & visit to Superintendent John A. Kennedy, of the New York police, who detailed Detective Tilley to work up tho case. There was not a_ecratch on the outside of the safe, and the lock, on being taken off, showed no evidence of having been tampered with. Only one man knew the com- bination, and he was the head of the firm. No suspicion could be legitimately attached to_any clerk or workman, and the watchman on duty, whoso footsteps’ had been dogged, was pro- nounced an honest man. The work had to be gono over again, Tilley had another look at the safe. 'The indicator revolved on a screw pivot, which was taken out, and the worm of the screw was found to be considerably worn. On being replaced the indicator did not it sclidly on tho pivot, and there was every sign that the screw had been’ taken out fre- quently. A course of action was soon determd ined on. The officer appeared disheartened and about to give up the puzzle, while in secret he advised Messrs. Wheeler & Parsons to let the matter drop and appesr resigned to their losses. In a few weeks, the excitement had so far abated that & proposition emanated from the firm to increase the force of workmen, and to apopt additional precautions for security. In due course A CLOWNISH-LOOEING APPRENTICE and an assistant watchman were introduced, and in & few weeks Lad cuitivated Kindt's acquaint- ance. The new-comers were selected by & New Yorlk private detective agency. Kindt took won- derfally to the new watchman, talked to him about the late robbery, and recommended extra vigilance. The spurious guardian, coached by Tilley, improved the acqusintance of the suspected man, wormed himself into his _confidence little by littls, by dint of gradually expressing his ideas on the subjeot of Tonesty to be rather lax, and finally had him 80 complotely in his toils that Kindt, after & _long {irado on the Iabor question and tho injustice oF capitalists, made him a proposition_to rob the sufe, which he represonted as_containing a for- tune of $100,000, enough to divide between two. The new watchman cleverly hesitated but finally consented, and learned that Kindt's plan was to master the combination of the safe-lock and rob the factory, as before described. After weeks of patient labor, which proved useless, 2 new combination lock of peculiar construction hav- ing been attached to the sefe since the 1869 robbery, Kindt suggested to the firm that the slairs leading past the office in which the safe waas should be boarded up, alleging that fragments of gold sud gold dust were lost in considersble quantities by the staircase in question being left open. His snggestion was of course adopted, it being the object of the firmand the detectives to catch Kindt red-hended. As soon as the partition was erected Tilley and & man he had engaged to as- sist him in watching STOWED THEMSELVES AWAY OX A FLOOR above that on which the safe stood, s08s to com- mand both aviewof the safe and the stairs through suger-holes which they bored in the floor, From their place of concealment every time_that Mr. Wheeler went to the safa they saw Kindt produce a species of opera-glass, con- structed by himself, and watch intently his master's movements in manipulating the com- bination, noting them down on a piece of paper. As soon as the coast was clear Kindt would go to the safe, repeat the move- ments, and endeavor to get at the secret. After weeks of experimenting Kindt succeeded in mastering the difficulty, and the open sesame of the combination acquired, he stood gazing at the trepsures within the stronghold. gHe 51311 closed the safe, tried the combination again and ain, to make sure of it, and was about to close it for the last time, and toleave to make arrangements for getting away with the con- tents, when he was geized and handcuffed, and, in spito of the day and hour (4 o'clack on & Sun- day morning), marched to his residence, No. 25 State street, where Lis wife was secured, and & search begun for the property mgposed to be secreted there. Every nook and corner was ransacked without success, and Tilley was about, as a matter of form, to sound the plastering ! sbovo the window, when the_sill on ‘which he v standing gave way, and he thrust his leg mto an : INGENIOUSLY CONTRIVED RECEPTACLE, in which, carefully stowed away, were sbout $17,000 worth of gold watch-cases and gold bars, Which were identified ss forming part of the proceeds of both tho 1867 and 1869 robberies, ‘Kindt declined to state if he had accomplices, and denied all knowledge of the robberies with: which he was charged, and in July, 1870, was ;g;zst;nced to serve a term of three years in Stata n. . The convict was too clever fo remain long at Sing Sl:ig Adopting the tactics which he had observ hile in the employ of Wheeler & Par~ sons, he gained the confidence of every one he was brought in contact with, and was not, after a few weeks, subjected to the rigorous surveil- lsnce imposed on other convicts. Having ob- tained from a visitor a watch-spring, saw, and other tools, he cut away the bars of his cell on the night of Feb. 5, 1671, and made his escape. Kindt must bave reached Hackensack the next day, and in a pitiable condition, the weather be=" ing terrible. His clothes, howerver, were such 28 worn by workmen on & tramp, and his arriva) excited no suspicion, for, on applying to Mr, Thomas, he was immodiately given employment, snd does not. n})pem- to have made himself prom- inent inthe factory till last August, when, m gafe-lock having become doranged, he declared ‘himself somewhat of & machinist, and VOLUNTEERED TO JAKE IT RIGHT. ‘While doctoring the safe he procured a piece of soap.and took the impression of the spare key, which was placed on a ledge inside the safe, and lost no time in making and fitting a false key. On Monday night he is supposed to have gained an entrance to the office, opened thesafe, ab- stracted $9,000 worth of jewelry and money, and tohave closed the place as he foundit. Mr. Thomes wisely resolved on consulting the New York police, and on telling Mr. Kelso about the robbery. Tilley wag sent for, who produced a portrait of the convict Kindt, which was recog- nized by Mr. Thomas as that of one of his workmen. The detective accompanied 3r. Thomas back to West Hackensack, and Yesterday morning was placed in such a Pposition as to eneble him to see all the work~ men, from among whom he singled out Kindt, who was arrested as an_escaped convict. Tilly then ascertained that Kindt kept a lager-beer saloon in Huckensack, and on dgning to the place began = gearch which proved almost fruitless, till Detective Heidelburg, of the New York Po- lice, and Officer Harrigon, of the Hackensack Police, called attention to about 6,000 cigars stowed away in boxes on a shelf. In the second or third box that was opened was found & pair of ear-rings, part of the stolen property, and after opening all the boxes about 34,000 worth of jewelry and 21,500 in money, tho proceads no doubt of o sale of part of the stolen goods, were recovered. Kindt was committed to an- swer yesterday by Justice Zabriskie. The pris- oner is a tall, zood-looking, but ungainly-limbed man, with well-formed massive features and a stolid expression of couutenance. e E g MARCHESA GARIBALDL The Red-Shirt Hero’s Secord Wifesss Mystery and Romance. ilun letter to the Boston Advertiser, Near Como is a palatial villa, with_forect-like grounds, which is one of themany villes belong- ing to the father of Garibaldi’s second wife, the Marchesa. He has refused 750,000 franes for this villa dell’ Ormo, but it is said he will take a million if offered. In it and on its vest grounds was held the Como Industrial and Agricultural Exhibition of this seeson, which event gave me & chance to see the building. The villa has some saperb halls in it, and the grounds are very lnrge. A gentleman who szt nest to mo the other day at a dinner party, gave me a little bitof & romance ebout the Marchesa Garibaldi, as the second wife of the famous Italian General is called. Ihad beard that she was the wife of Garibaldi’s son. *¢Not at all,” said my dinner-table compsnion, & Milanese Count, who knew all about the strange affair; “*she is the second wife of the General himself. She left Lim the day after the wedding, and they have never met sinze.” I looked all the questions I was dying to ask, upon which ho added, with a laugh and a shrug, 28 if he knew more than was proper to tell at t!z;t moment: **No reasons were given on either gide.” , The subject was_dropped, but it recalled to me = strange story I had heard some years ago of o second marriage of Garibaldi’s, and which served well to join on to the unfinisked or broken link that my dinner acquaintance had given me Illtell it to you as it was told e, and you can join the two links or not, just 88 you please: It was ab leasta dozen yeers g0, The lady was young, titled, rich, hand- somo and fast. No name wes given me. She conceived & desperate, passionate admiration for the famous ** Liberator of Italy.” She was oung enough to. be Garibaldi’s daughter, and. e was posing them, as he bhas always, for the inconsolable widower—the celebrated ** Anita,” his first’ wife, who accompanied him through many of his adventures, and whose sad death hasbeen s0_ofton and o touchingly described, is supposed to be the only love of, Garibaldi’a life. Nevertheless, the marriage tock place be- tween the General and the young Lombardy Marchess. But, sad to relate.-on the wedding- day, ater the coremony, Garibaldi Teceived in- formation, with undoubted proofs, of the im- morality of his young bride. Why had he not been told sooner? It cannot tell you anything about the simple story as L heardit. Whon tha newly-married peir were left alone, Garibaldi told his young wife what he had heard, but added, ‘If you will say you are an honest ‘woman, I will take your word.” *But if I cannot, what then?” asked the Mar- chega. “We must part forever this very moment,” replied Garibaldi. The young woman turned, leit her husband of an hour, and never saw him again. It was said that the stories agninst her character were false, and the young girl, though gay, was innocent. But her pride wes 80 wounded af the charge be- ing made by her husband at that moment, and in such apexemfftury ‘manner, that she scorned to justify herself; his want of fsith in her dis- lpeLll:r] herillusions and broke the charm of her ove. I saw the Marchesa Garibaldi at one of the regattas on Lake Como early in September. She is about 85 years old, I should think; s hand- gome but coarse-looking woman ; has fierc defiant eyes, dark skin, heavy dark hair parte on one side ; thrust through the thick braidsat the back was an oxydized silver sabre, placed i the same way that the Trastevera tortoise-shell daggers are worn in the hair. She was dressed very simply in & sela cruda, orraw silk, cos~ tmng, and round hat with cock-of-the-wood's feather. P THE PANTIN MURDERS. Concerning the person who has surrendered himself at Brussels as an accomplice of the F¥rench murderer, Traupmann, the Independence Belge says : “Recently, 8 person about 30 years of age presented himself at the police office in arder to be arrested, stating that he was no other than an accomplice of the too famous Trzupmann, the principal assasin of the Kinck inmfy. He stated that, being in & eiato of vagabondcge, pursued by remorse, not knowing what good to make of himself, he had come to give himeelf wuwp to = justice in the coun~ try where he had taken refuge some time since, fully knowing the fate_that awaited him., He added that he conld disclose the other accom- plices, Everybody believed at first that this was an affair of hallucination, but the person, antioipating the doubts and hesitation of thosa who interrogated him, declared with great clear- ness that his mental facilities were perfectly in- tact, and that he was fully conscious of what he did and said. He also entered into the most cir~ cumstantizl and hitherto unpublished details of the horrible crime at Pantin. _Speedily the po- lice Todged him provisionally in jail, in order ta have him subjected to examination. ““The prisoner said that the crime of Pantin had been committed by Traupmann and himself, along with two other men. But' these last twa and himsslf had only dug the graves and car- ried the tools to the Langloia field. He pro- oeeded to state that Gustave, the eldest son of Kinck, was assassinated lnst, hence the circum- stance of his body being discovered in a locality so distant from the places where the other corpses were. He pretended to_ bave accom- panied Traupmarn to the door of the ahug in Paris, where they purchased the spade, and to have found himself at Havre with Traupmann when the latter was arrested. But he denied | that he had known of the murder of the elder Kinck until after the murder of the other mem- bers of the family. Trzupmann alone hed committed that first crime. Lastly, he de~ clared thet under the Commune in Paris ho had served s pa offcer, and in thet capacity had commanded the firing-party which fusilleded the hostages, Monsignor Darbois, Archbishop of Paris, and President Bonjean. Respecting that incident, he entered into a mass of datails. ; o «Qn being submitted to the examination of medical practitioners, this singular person dis- played, it is said, overy appearance of presence of mind, Whatever he may be, justice will Without doubt, soon draw this mystery into the light. Oneincident still is worth notice. When the man was interrogated as to his past means of existence in Belgium, he answered that he had been supported by the International Society. We cannot, st this moment, learn more about the revelations, true or imaginary, of the indi- vidual whoga arrest has aiready excited greas cammot:on in Eflsse!a. Td Epeni frankly, they appear to us either & case of mystificatit mental alienation,” i e ot
