On Saturday evening last about five o'clock a well-dressed lady called on Esquire Stanly and in- formed him that whileasleep during that day some one had entered her room and taken away her eight months’ old babe and a lot of the babe’s clothing, some of them unfinished. After making the necessary inquiries the esquire at once sent out his runners. About ten o'clock that night some of the officer's returned with the infant, having found it on board of a lighter about thirty miles down the river in charge of the abductor. oo Aw OLD WoMAN AND HER Son McrpERED.— A shocking double murder has been committed near Lilesville, N.

They were people ot ex- cellent character. The cause of their murder is not known. Great excitement over the affair prevails throughout the neighborhood, and the mnystery surrounding the tragey is being in- vestigated. _————— Two Boys Burnep To Deatu.—Twe colored boys were burned to death last night in Mem- es Tenn.

But not one dollarof responsibility would debts of Its president. Tie aged Archbishop is ina helpless dotage, and tenderly nursed at the ex) Tupt diocese. His brother E minded Bishop complete contro! of the finances of the diocese. It was putting a beggar on bridge over his disaster. There was a meeting of eome prelates in New compassion for the aged Archbishop Purcell. Even so, the meeting took care to say it was nowise of obligation to assume his debts. For one thing New York is noted favorably— its high sense of commercial honor. Arch- bishop Purcell's personal friends met, in the persons of the wealthy and liberal Catholics of New York, a rigid and scornful rebuff. “No!” sald one whose check was free for thousand “T will not give a cent to rescue from whole- some disgrace ecclesiastics that leave their proper calling to turn money brokers!” That was the correct sentiment that put the damper onthe sentimental appeal of Archbishop Pur- cell's friends. With pain we have seen misrepresentations of the true status of this matter. It was well that Catholics with business heads on them flouted, as against good morals, paying Mr. Edward Purcell’s debts, because his brother was an Arch- bishop and tried to bolster him. Any small amounts of money that Mr. Purcell may have loaned or given in his horseback liberal- ity to Catholic churches or institutions, ought to be given back. But all Mr. Pureell’s losses, in playing big banker without the ability, ought to ie there till the end of the world as a monu- ment to the folly of pride. _——e Doracy"s Appeal. From Harper's Weekly. On the eve of the new star route trials, which | have now begun, Mr. Dorsey published a state- | ment professing to tell the whole story of his connection with the subject, which he said he | had also written to President Garfield early in 1880, who, as he said. thereupon strongly de- nouticed the prosecution, and referred Dorse: ,to Postmaster General James and Attorney General MacVeagh, who, as Dorsey alleges, said that there was no evidence on record proving Dorsey's guilt. At their request he wrote out the story confidentially, but they, as he alleges, betrayed him. and placed detectives at work upon an investigation. Mr. Dorsey then pro- contracts, and asserts that the President, the Attorney General and the prosecuting officers know as well as he knows that his statement is absolutely true, and he alleges that the Marshal of the District has been removed in order that the jury uponthe new trial may be packed. The first impression produced by this appeal is that Mr. Dorsey is at last thoroughly con- vinced that the government is in ‘dead earn- est” in the prosecution. The second is that if the story be the whole truth he would have ap- peared upon the trial as a witness and have submitted it to the court and to the country. He cannot expect hls own word to be accep’ as conclusive. But ifhe could produce evidence that President Garfield believed him to be in- nocent, and that Messrs. MacVeagh and James betrayed him, why has he not produced it be- fore? Why does he not now produce it in his appeal? If there be a letter ot Garfleld’s which proves his innocence, or Im- plies Garfield's faith in it, why does he not pud- lish it? And why has the present publication been delayed to'the very eve ot the new trial? With all the evidence which was laid before the ury and the country at the late trial, it is rather vold in Mr. Dorsey to assert that not a syllable of proof was produced against hi Eighteen grand jurymen and nine petit jurors thought that there was a great deal of very damaging evidence. Mr. Dorsey attributes the prosecution to the desire of revenge upon the part of Mr. James and Mr. MacVeagh for his opposition to thelr appointment as members of the Garfleld cabi- net. But no one who knows those gentlemen | will accept this theory; and they both decline | to enter into personal controversy with a man whom, upon careful study of the evidence, they unhesitatmgly pronounce to be a_ thief. Knowledge of the star route scandals did not begin with the entrance ot Messrs. James and MacVeagh into the cabinet. The scandals were known long be- fore that event. and there is a very general and | profound belief that there have been enormous frauds upon the government. Even if the | remain. The devices of legal evasion are many, and adequate legal evidence cannot always be produced to supplement moral conviction. we repeat, if Mr. Dorsey can prove, even at this late day, that President Garfield believed him to be innocent of all complicity with these trauds, and can also prodyce the evidence which per- suaded the president, Mr. Dorsey will certainly have thrown new light upon the whole matter. Ifhe cannot, his appeal will only confirm the general belief In his guilt. ——_—§_—-e- Children Drowned W lc Skating. While a number ot persons were skating on Abbott’s dam, falls of Schuylkill, near Phil- adelphia, about six o'clock last evening, the ice suddenly gave way and a number of children were precipitated Into the water. Annie Casey, aged 10 years; John Snowden, 0 years ; Thomas Kindle, aged 10 years; and Violet Barker, aged 14 years, were drowned, and it is feared that others met the same fate. The four bodies were recovered and taken to their late homes. The affair created great excitement at the falls. —<e. Ten THovsand Do.tars Worta oF Gems TOLEN.—At Cleveland, Ohio, between 12 and 1 o’clock yesterday, a man walked Into the store of P. L. Miles, a manufacturing jeweler, and asked the proprietor to put a new spring into a cheap watch. While Mr. Miles was repalring the watch the stranger quietly picked up a baz containing about $10,000 worth of uncut diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, opals, cats’ eyes and pearls. With this plunder the thief walked off unnoticed, and it was not until Mr. Miles happened to want one of the gems to set that he discovered that he had been robbed. a —$+e.—______ Urcixe Her Hvspanp to a Dovsie Mcr- pER.—A telegram from Charlotte, N.C., Decem- ber 13, says:—“ In Lilesyille last night Alexan- der Dockery murdered two men and then escaped.
