“GARROTING. ynerease of Garroting and Its Punishment. Yudge Bedford the Nemesis of the Evil Doers— An Englich Emigrant the Latest Victim— Dastardly Outrage—Swift Convic- tion and Speedy Punishment. Bince the opening of the November term in the Court of General Sessions the time of the presiding Judge, of counsel and of jurors has been princt- Pally occupfed in dealing with the most dangerous class of crimes known to the law—assanits with in- tent to murder, burglary, highway robbery, and, though last not least, that phase of the midnight assailani’s murderous operations known as garrot- ing. If punishment is ever to prove the repres- ston of crime it should show its salu- tary cffect dating from this time, Within the last few days the sentences of Judge Bed- ford, in the Court of General Sessions, have followed swifly and heavily upon the trial and conviction of the degperadoes who have been brought up before Dim, and whose name is becoming legion within the very heart of ourcity, a4 well as in the darker and more secluded purlieus thercof, ‘The latest actor in the courts, and who, perhaps, presented in the manner of his acting one of the aworst and vilest characters of the heavy rufian, was Alived Willtams, Who was yesterday arraigned upon @charge of garvoting and highway robbery. The facts of the case, as they came out Jn evidence be- fore Judge Bodiord and & jury im tne Court of Gene- ral Sessions yesterday, are as follows:-— The complatnant, Michael Coughitn, who arrived from England two months ago, and was stopping at Oxstie Carden, made his statement. He said that on the sth of October, at balf-past three o’clock, he mict the prisoner at Castle Garden and was engaged In Conversation with nim for two hours, the prisoner “‘aticking’”? to him tll haif-past five o'clock, stating that he came from Paddington. Whenever he men- tioned places in England that he Was familiar with Wiiltams would tvariably reply that he kuew where ail thore places were. The English boy con- fided in Williams at onco, showing lim his watch, “Ob, what a fine watch 13 have? exclaimed ilhams, Who shortly after Juvited bim to leave the eile Garden and sit under a trea in the Battery, The ensuspecting youth conseuted, offering his ‘“riend? a eizar. Whou Williams got him out he hit the youth in the mouth, knocked a toots ent and felied him to the ground, He passed his arm around Cougilin’s throat and witi Ue ether took a gold watch and chain and locket, valued at $125, from ‘Bis pocket, while another radian held his feet, who escaped. Wiliams ran away, but wes arrested upon the following evening al the Castle Garden by an oflicer, having been identified by Coughlin, The prisoner was sworn in his own behalf, and Positively denied that he was at the Castle Garden When Coughlin sald ie was robbed. Judge Bedford recalled the complainant, who eee identified Wilhams, remarking that he id no doubt whatever about the prisoner, Mr. Sullivan, Assistant District Attorney, made an able gpeceh in urging & convietion, inxiancing the t that innocent emigrants should be protected from the crowd of murderous ruitians who pw that locality, Mr. Kintzing was assigned to defend the accused, And sald all May be could for his client, SRE NE ne ISS ee VERDIOT, The jary commen rendered a verdict of gulicy, with a re- lation to mercy, JUDGE BEDFORD’S OPINION OF THE VERDICT. His Honor said that he agreed with the jury in pro- jouncing the prisoner guilty, put if they knew what @ Was informed respecting the prisener they would ot recommend him to mercy. hen Williams was arrested by the officer and had the watch in his pos- session he said he would not give it up, and threat- ened to cnt the complainant’s heart out tf he prose- cuted him.

Judge Bedford Continues His Sentences Caution to Dishonest Porters. Jacob Glickner was put on trialin the Court of General Sossions on Monday and the hearing occu- pled most of yesterday. He was charged with steal- ing four barrels of sugar ana three bags of coffee on the 24th of June trom the store of Seaman & Co., 44 Murray street, where he was employed as porter for the last nine years. When arrested hefvoluntarily confessea to Mr. Seaman that he had been stealing from him for a long time, and that two men were in complicity with him. He gave two bank books, which represented $1,000, and $200 m_mouey-to his employer, stating that the money he nad saved was the proceeds of the stolen property. The prisoner went on the stand and denied the ma- teria] points of the testimony of the witnesses for whe prosecution. Assistant District Attorney Sulll- Yan had such confidence in the case for the people That he declined to cross-examine Glickuer, and in the summing up calmly pointed out the overwhelm- ing facts established by the witnesses for the people. Judge Bedford delivered a clear and im;artial charge, reviewmg the whole case, after which the ee, Tendered @ verdict of guilty, without leaving Lr Beats, SENTENCE, Judge Pedford, in passing sentence, satd:—Glick- ner, from the asian manuer in which you gave your veraion of the larceny I believe you to be an oily-tongued rogue, Your testimony is In nutter con- filct with two credible and highly respectanle gentle- Mev, well-known grocers in this city. You nave un- questionably committed perjury, and, from the tea- timony, I am forced to belicve tnat you have sys- tematically robbed Mesers, Seaman & Uo. for years. As a-warning to all parties and employés in lar establishments to be honest and not to abuse the lence neceszarily imposed in them, I feel it my Guty to send you to the State Prison for four yeara. THE FREAKS OF LOVE. Story of the Young Lady who Went to Call- fornin to Marry a Man Whom She Had Never Seen—The Romance of Stern Facts. {From the Rochester Chronicle, Nov. 14.) The following from the Sacramento (Cal.) Bee Probably refers to a young lady from this vicinity who, a3 we know, recently went to California for the pares of being married to a gentleman whom she iad never seen, and who was known to her enly through the report of frionds and a photograph. We. hope the bride will never have cause to Halght the bridegroom:— An incident came to our knowledge a few days ago which may strike our readers as being quite ro- mantic i its way:—When conductor —, of one of the Central Paciflc trains, took charge of his train at Truckee, bound for this city, one day last week, he noticed among bis passengers a very pretty, modest- ee lady, Who seomed to be travelling alone. the cars climbed the mountain, whirled through gorge and around precipice, she sat at one of the windows and gazed out with an anxious look, ag though she longed to reach the shores ef the Pa- cific, where she might meet with friends or relatives, While passing through, the conducter thougut he heard some one ad‘ress him, and en looking around discovered that It was bis young female passenger, who, with a bashful air, bey erhy if he was goin; through to Sacramento. (n being answered that hi Was she blushed still decper, and said that she had rather 9 queer request to make of him, She said that she expected to meet at “the Junction” a gentie- man whom she had never seen, but to whom she was about to be married, and requested tue con- ductor to watch for him and to intreduce hin te her if he should find him, For some two years they had been in correspoudence with one another—how 1t Was brought ut she did not say—and it was Anally arranged that she shouia come to California and that her unknown friend should at once lead her to the altar. On sped the train through tunnels and snowdrifts and over yawning gals, but the soon-to-be bride neither thought of danger nor of the beauties and grandeur of. the Sierras; she sat atill and gered wistfully down into the valley where the muddy Sacramento was winding its crooked way toward the ocean, and where she a soon to meet her ‘lous lover. Station al ‘was reached, and finally came in it. The conducter stationed himself on the platform of the front car and scanned the orewd that threnged about as the train neared the depot. A well-dressed, gentlemanly-looking in- dividual stepped forward upon the platform, He, too, wore a somewhat anxious look, and he con- cluded he had found his man, A tap on the shoul der and low inquiry by him, and a guicl eager re sponse from the stranger followed; the conductor NEW YORK HERALD, WEDNESDAY, recognized as his young lady inger and the gen- Ueman who met her at “the Junetion.” The latter ‘whispered to the driver to go straight to the house of Rev. Mr. and they were lost to . We read of such things m works of fiction, but it is seldom that they actually happen. THE AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE. English Plans (or Its Sappression. A report was issued in London, November 4, from the English Foreign Office by a committee 4 polnted to consider the measures necessary for the suppression of the slave trade on the east coast of Africa, The African slave trade 18 now confined almost entirely to the torritories of the Sultan of Zan- zibar, on the cast coast, The Sultan himself derives £20,000 a year, @ne-fourth of his income, from the traMc, From a single port 20,000 negroes are ad- mitted to be shipped of every year as slaves, Cus. tom house records prove that 97,203 were exported through Kilwa to Zanzibar betwcen 1862 and 1887, and 20,600 to other places. This is the recognized trafic; but many slaves are also exported Irom Kilwa an oiher places on the coast, aud the committee who ve been investigating the subject are iwformed that during last y' owing probably to the great aiticuities expericnced by the siaye déalers ta procur ing slaves in the neighborhood of Zandibar, tie Galle tribes about FaZi were poltent to Fo to war, the resalt being that large numbers of Captives were Ege ken down to the pane to be por) of the Sultan's dominions, dud there dold fot slaved. volting ag the «letafis of this traflic may be, it is de- sirable tey should be revealed in order that the evil may appear in all 118 ghastly reality, Consiant slave raids, it is said, have so de- the districts bordering on ie coast a the dealers,. who are chiefly Arab subjects of the Sultan of Zanzibar, are | fort obliged to go far in the interior of Africa < for their supplies, and so large @ tract of country has thus been laid waste that it ts from the vicinity of Lako Nyassa and beyond it that slaves are now said to be obtained, Should this nefarious traffic continue much longer to thrive it would be didicult for our government to avolki the odium of a share of the lesponsibility. The Suitan of “Zanzibar is under the British protecto:ate, and he has bound It by treaty to suppress the foreigu slave w {fhe death of the Suitan was anuounced by telegraph from Bombay.) ASIA, The Murder of Mr. Hayward, {From the Bombay Gazeite, Oct. 28.) There is now no doubt that Mr. Hayward, the en- terprising traveliey Who undertook a journey to. the Pantir Steppes, has been killed. ile was stoned to death in July at Yassim. The inhabitants are sald to be a bad lot, and he seems to have excited their cupidity by disvlosing the possession of several ities and other vaiuable property, No suspicions of complicity in the affair rest on Cashmere, A very remarkable lewter from Hayward was published not long ago—thongh, there was sume veasou to think, uot tatended to be Published as a letter—giving au account of usurpa- Hous and horrible cruelties perpetrated under tho orders of the Casumere Durbar. It wus feared at the time that the appearance of that letter would endanger the securily of the travelier, and were there no direct assertion, by good authorities, that No suspicion of complicity attaches to the Cashmere Durbar, tt would be natu to suppose that the Publication and the assassination were two facts nearly related. Before Mr. Hayward left India there Was an eiort made to obtain seme recognition of him from government, but this was refused. Gov: ernment cannot be biamed. Mr. Hayward under- took the journey in the interests of science, aud, perhaps, trom a love of adventure, knowing well enoug the risks that attended it, PURE AT COGPER INSTITUTE. Rev. Father Keuiing en “Ireinnd As It Is aud Was--Mayor Hall on “New York’s Charities.” . Rey, Michael Keating, Jate secretary to that great and good man, Father Mathew, delivered a lecture last evening tn Cooper Institute before at least 1,600 people, most of whem were Irish, upon the subject of “Ireland as it Was and as It Js, ana Her Ever Steadfast Connection with France,” the proceeds of ‘which are to be given exclusively towards the com- pletion of Father Mathew’s church 1a Cork, Ireland, The lecture was announced to commence at half- past seven o’clock, but it was a quarter past eight bofore the speaker putin an appearance. The time of walting, however, was pleasantly (@) whiled away by hstening to the Inspiring notes of a bass drum, the manipulator of which fondly, but delusively, iniagined he was 4 musician, Upon ascending the platform Father Keating waa Joined by Mayor Hall, Judge Bedferd and several other municipal lights, the former gentieman intro- ducing the lecturer in a few well chosen and ap- propriate remarks, In the course of whicn he said that New York 1s a charity foster-mother—she yielas sustenance to the offspring of the stranger without doing injury to her,pwn. This very night the Foun‘ling Asylum Fair is raising money that will doubtless be spent upon the unfortunate children of our adjacent cities, This very night a fair is also held fer the purpose of raising money to succor Freneh soldiers and distressed French families, and we meet here to-night to give with alacrity our mite for tne building of an Irish church edifice. New York in her charitable impulses must ever bear in mind the text, “Bear ye one another's burdens! She cannot be really the political capital of the re- public nor the capital of its literature, its art, its science, its manufactures and its commerce without also sustaining her right to be, at whatever sacrifices, the capital of national, and, it may be, of cosmo- politan charity, poplanee. With this Introduction Father Keating com- menced his remarks. He first referred to the at love of country wiuch has always distinguished the Irish character, and which he termed a Godlike Attribute, inasmuch as the Son of God wept at the destruction of Jerusalem. Ireland was a nation, he said, before any now existing nation was ever thought of, for she was inhabited fifteen hundred years before the dawn of the Christian era. Her early jaws, which are to this day the basis of the boasted English code, were liberal in the extreme,and under them Ireland flourished and pered in an almost marvellous manner. Until the fourth century her populaiton was wholly pagan, but, thanks to that Mest illustrious and pious soul, St. Patrick, it was soon converted into Christianity, and that, too, with- out the shedding of one drop of blood. Immediately schools, academies aud various other establieh- ments of learning sprang up throughout the length and breadth of the country, and at one time 80 popular had these schools become that persons were sent to them from every portion of the then civilized world, and even England, proud and arrogant as she now is, was then giad to send her princes to the land she now profeages to despise for Tv © purpose of having them educated. (Applause.) From this point tho speaker went on to show how Ireland continued to grow in prosperity, until finally, when beset by foes without and foes within, when prostrate and bleeding from every pore, because of the dissensions of her own people, Eng- land stepped in and conquered her; from that moment her star began to grow dim. He drew a very grapble and harrowing picture of her now pros- trate and well-nigh ruined condition, and held up England to the execration of his hearers, because of her base and villanous conduct towards the “ould sod,” Notwithstanding the announcement that something would be said about the “steadfast con- nection” of Ireland with France, the lecturer only iene a passing and very slight allusion to the sub- Ject, THE VOTE OF HUDSON COUNTY, N. J. ‘The Board of Canvassers for Hudson county, N.

BOSS TWEED'S EPIGRAM. “You Know How It Is Yourself”—The Origin of the Expression and How It Came Into Use. The Anglo-Saxon mind, and particularly the Anglo-American portion of it, is very fond of strong, terse and pertinent sentences, especially it they are Susceptible of being construed into a wide and va- riable significance, No expression for the last twenty years has taken hold of the popular mind so quickly as this one of “YOU KNOW HOW IT 18 YOURSELF.’? So soon as it reached the puoile ear it was at once adopted into the great family of idtematic American isms; nor will it be likely to be ousted from its Place for the next twenty ycara. And this is how the expression originated:— EVERYEODY IN NEW YORK has heard of the amount of responsible and multl- farlous duties performed py the Hon. William M. Tweed, the chairman of twenty committees, besides being engaged in a hundred other various and important matters, 8 Of course a man occupying his position has every day a multitude of visitors at his office near the Cit Hall. Some desiring instructions in regard to a mal ter of public importance, others te solicit subscrip- tions, ana otners again to present their clatms to the @ppointinent to some petty oMecial position o1 me cure.’ If Mr. Tweed was not ble: with the patience of Job he would burat out occasionally; but who ever heard of him getting inte “tantrums,” xe Sg Ronarahie Horace 1s said to do semi-once-in-a- while, Well, one morning Captain Boyle, the well known billiardist, thought he would do limscif the honor of CALLING UPON THE “GREAT COMMONER,” and, as the Captain was ushered into his presence, “The Boss,” as he is familiarly termed, was explain- ing to some unfortunate patriot the impossibility of granting his reyuest, closing the interview by sayin; in a confidential tone and with a peculiar naivelé o} expression, “You know how it 13 yourself.’” ‘This sublime tribute to his experience and execn- tive capacity at ouce won the patriow’s heart, and he readily responded with an assenting nod and & drawled and complacent ‘Ye-e-ca,” that he did know how it was, meaning that he appreciated the aimeulty under which the great man labored; aud he respectiully took his leave. It was now CAPTAIN BOYLE’S TURN. His business was of a personal nature, relating to Bome political matter, During the conyersa- tion, which lasted, perhaps, ten minutes or 80, Mr, Tweed frequently iterated the words in & slow, measured tone, “You know how It is yourself,” laying great stress sometimes upon the first word of the sentence, sometimes upon the second, then, again, upon the third, ana often upon the last word, ‘yourself,” according to the mean- ing he wished to eonvey. At last, Captain Boyle says, he “dropped to ii,” and after courteously thanking Mr, ‘weed fer ac ding bim the inter. netum, During the day he amused limeelf by frequently Tepeating the expression in conversation to his friends. Among others was DAN BRYANT, whom he got “the laugh” on, and who did not “drop to iv” for some time. When he did “drop,” he took hold of it, for it pleased him, and th ¢ night and on subsequent evenings he repeated it often in his stage witticisms at nis minstrel hall, in the Tame Many building on Fourteenth street, Now it isin nearly everybedy’s mouth, from Maine to Alaska. It has even crossed the Atlantic to England, and ta repeated by tho nobs and snobs of her metropolis wus, “You know ’ow it 1s yourself,” THE WESTCHESTER SUPZRVISORS. Annual Meeting of the County Guardians Democratic Plans Frustrated by an Order of the Supreme Court—Corresponding Gloom Amoug the Minority. The members of the Board of Supervisers of West- chester county convened at the Court House, White Plains, last Monday morning, for the purpose of organizing. While speculation was rife in regard to who should be chosen chairman, a3 the twenty-four members were equally divided in a political sense, it was given out, semi-officially, by some of the demo- cratic members, that a compromige had heen effected whereby the chairmanship would be awarded to one Of their political opponents in return for the ap- polntment of a clerk of their own selec- tion, and perhapg other slight equivalents in the shaping of committeés, Before the Board had time to organize, however, @ disclosure was made which disseminated sorrow among the hitherto jubilant democratic members, and, as may be expected, caused a proportionate amount of lively satisfaction to be felt by thelr rivals, on seeing ‘tne plans of the former suddenly and hopelessly dis- sipated. It appears that at the spring election for town officers in the town of Somers, 204 votes were cast, which corresponded with the number of votes en- tered on the poll list. Of these only 281 voted tor Supervisor. The Board of Inspectors, on counting the ballots, found two joined together and having the appearance of a single ballot, and threw them out. These were cast for William E. Teed, the republican candidate. Of tho remaining 279 votes, 140 were found to be for Wil- liam Marshall, Jr., (democrat), and 189 for Teed, which, mcluding tlie two votes threwn out (which the last named party claimed should be counted for nim), would give him @ majority of one over his competitor. During thetr extra sion, held some months sine Board of Supervisors adinitted ir. Marshall v0 4 Beatin their body. From that action Mr. Teea appealed to the Supreme Court, and on Jast Satur- day Justice Pratt rendered @ decision in the cake, declaring Mr. Teed the legally elected member of the Board from the town of Somers, in accordance With section 48, chapter 6, title 4, part 1, of the Re- Vised Statutes, The decision of the Court in the matter appeared to be unknown to the democratic members of the Board until they began to assemble for the com- mencement of their duties, when a commotion was occasioned, inasmuch as the new order of things ave the republicans a majority of two In the Board, instead of there being @ tie as Was anticipated. ‘The Board subsequently organized by electing Wilham H. Rebertson (ex-county judge) Chairman and Cap- tain W. W. Pierson, Clerk. Before commencing business the chairman, on behalf of the late Board, in a few anpropriate re- marks, presented a ane gavel of ivory, mounted in gold, to William Cauldweil, chairman of the last Board of Supervisors, and to which ‘action a timely response was made by the recipient. After examin- ing @ number of bills presented agamst the county the Board adjourned until to-day. CAGING THE NEWARK ROUCHS. There was committed to the Essex county Jail at Newark yesterday @ notorious desperado, named Jonn Norton, alias “Cuff,” who on Monday evening atrociously assaulted a butcher named Louis Hubert and @ hatter named Leonhardt Meyer, both of Ferry street, besides endeavoring to steal leg of mutton and a hat. He has before dwelt in the State institution at Trenton, and it 4s mere than probable will again. He is @ fit companion for the famous PI jonahue, On the same evening Jeseph Denigan, @ saloon keeper, complained of by his wife for smashing their pro- pberty and beating her shamefully, was arrested. He presented a pistol at one of the policemen, but was disarmed before any harm lone. Me was held over night and fined besides in the morning. Peter Martin, the man who stands charged with having on election night bit off an ear of @ man named Gil- len, was also arrested and held to bail in $200. wh MYSTERY EXPLAINED, The mystery attending the death of a man found in a state of ins ensibility on a stoop corner of Riv- Ington and Colu mbia streets during the evening of the 2d inst. ,as heretofore published in the HERALD, was yesterday explained before Coroner Kee- nan. The body was identified as that of Gustave Kelner, a German, this ears Of age, Who had been employed at No. 274 Rivington street. Deceased was much intoxicated on the night he wag found, and doubtless he fell and fractured his skull. Such was the evidence before the Coroner, and a verdict of accidental death was rendered by the jury, De- ceased was a bartender by occupation. THE PUBLIC HEALTH. ‘The Board of Health met yesterday. Dr. Morris’ report on contagious diseases shows for the week 4 cases of typhus fever, 22 of typhold fever, 18 of relapsing fever, 8 of smallpox, 89 of 18 of measies and 10 of diphthe: An application of the Farmers’ Protective Com) to dump manure foot ef Eas jt Twentieth street was granted. The Registrar of Vital Statistics made his report owing the deaths last week to be less than in the corresponding week of several years past. Consumption and lung diseases seem to be on the increase.

Bloody Attack on @ Belt Railroad Car Near Twentieth Street—The Driver Badly ‘Wounded—The Police Quell the Disturbance. Notwithstanding the numerons threats of the drivers who combined and left their employ- ment on Sunday morning last the Belt Rallroad Company have not been intimidated and the trac on the eastern diviston Wasopened yesterday morning, #3 usual, Ascer- taining that their old hands were ‘determined to hold out for certain concessions in the shape of an increase of pay and a reduction in the hours of Javor beyond what the company deemed it advisa- ble to grant, they yosterday em loyed’a complete set of 123 new drivers, and started them at seven o'clock In the morning, accompanied in many ine stances by the old conductors of the road. This Sraagent Wag the lage thing in contemplation by the old hands and completely’ TOOK THEM BY SURPRISE. It was looked upon as a monstrous outrage on the Patt of the company to employ men to drive their cars who were not preylously licensed, nor could they understand Why the éompany refused to let thelr roiling stock lie 1dle until such time as they should think proper to commence work again. After the cars had all been fairly started and the trafic fully opened up again, several of the old drivers, perceiv- lng that the company were in a position to resist all their efforts and to enforce thelr actions, with the assistance of the police in case of necessity, desired to be put to work again and Interviewed the Super- intendent for this purpose, but they were informed wat as they had already caused “great in conventence “by the manner fa which they left the cars on this and a previous occasion, the com- pany, Were determined to maintain the ground they ad taken and have all new drivers.” The Drivers? Asxociation were informed of the new ngements and it would seem as though they were the incea- live to the trouble that afterwards occurre he new drivers were allowed to proceed unin‘errupted Until tWo O'clock in the afternoon. At this time CAR NO. 104 left the depot in Thirty-sixth street in charge of a new driver, and an old ductor ) and when they arrived at Twentieth street, in the First ave) they were as- salled by a crowd of roughs, wiio large stones at both the inen in Sonne of the vehicle, breaking four windows and a portion of tne sash of a fifth. ‘The conductor received a blow on the back of his hand, while the untortunate driver, being of neces- sity in the thickest of the fgne, received a stone be- tween his eyes, cutting an immense gash acvoss the upper part of the nose and SCAITERING THE BLOOD over the front part of the car. ‘Tie blow was 80 severe that for a considerable time he rematned ine sensible. ‘The car was stopped, aud tho aifrghted passengers leaped out to discover that they were surrounded by a brutal mob, nearly all of whom held large siones in their hands ready for their next victim, The driver, who had been stunned, presently recovered his consclousness and pointing out several of the «1d drivers of the Line to one of the policemen near desired him to arrest them. The policeinan attempte! to reach the trie alone, but he was unable to break the crowd and had to get back behind the caraud obtain the as- sistance of a patrolman before he could proceed to arres! them. AVTER A FIZROP STRUGGLE they succeeded in capturing two of the ringleaders, though not until one of their prisoners had been badly “clubbed,” so violent was he in his efforts to escape. A batch of police now appeared on the scene and dispersed the inch, and at the same time Clearing the rails of the immense number of stones that had been ed on them to upset the car. The er was assisted tO & surgeon’s office near by to have his wound attended to, while the conductor acted Inthe double capacity of driving and attending to the passengers for the remainder of the trip to the Battery. It could be easily observed that the men were not accustomed to the work, as in many places the cars Were running three together, while at ieast A DOZEN WERE THROWN OF! THE RAILS at different parts of the road.

From Houston street to -#ixth street TWO-BOLIORMEN GUARDED BACH CAR, Although to an ordinary observer. there was not the slightest attempt at disturpance in the district, these escorts continued on the cara up to eight o'clock, A sergeant in charge of the force stated that It was rumored that an attempt would be made as soon as it became dark to throw the cars off the track; but thia statement was not borne out by facts, ag there was not the least sign of trouble throughout the entire road between s{x and seven o'clock. The officers at the depot were extremely reserved concerning the whole afuir, A peculiar notice was posted up in the stuvter’s office, bearing the signature of the superintendent, Mr. Terry, to the effect, “Whenever @ horse was injured, ‘no matter from what cause, the driver would be in- stantly dismissed.” It was considered that the strike was at an end last pight, and the ola hands entitled to seek other employments, for which the latter appear to “thank” Mr. Humphrey, the pres- dent of the driver’s association, THE WILD WHITE MAN OF KAN | Marringe of Comanche Bill to His Indian Squaw in Civilized Fashiou—Attempt of a Darkened Mind to Recover Enlighteament— A Life-long Indian Seekiug His White Boy- hood’s Home. {From the Kansas City Builetin.) The sequel to the ‘Comanche romance” transpired yesterday before Justice Ranson, The wild man, after finding out the exact amount of fees requ by the Jastice (by means of signs), left the court, appointing eight o’clock yesterday morning as ti hour for the ceremony. Mounting a wild cream- colored mustang, he galloped out of the city to his camp in the woods on Turkey creek. Early yesterday morning the strange couple pre- pared for the nuptials; mounted, each upon a pony, thef jogged leisurely to the appvinted place, and marched sedately into Kanson’s office precisely at eight o’clock, ‘“How-coulah, Mel- fean man.” “Good morning,” returned the ’Squire, “Wah-shtay (yes) me Comanche Bill, njun forty years; got 80 heap squawa (holding up five fingers; all Injun marry. Me want Melican marry. Nea Towechi’—Bloody Mai ua Ww. As the ‘Squire was iittle versed in mdngre} lan- guages the most of the above was Latin to him; put nding Out what the couple wanted Messrs. Tew and Havens were called in to officiate as groomsman and bride's attendant and the eeremony proceeded, pa? Comanche Bill to his sixth living wife. Said the 'Squire, “Do you, Mary Blood, take this man,” &o, “Meh-tahunta nean tepee, Bill, ecke Wah stah,” responded the copper-colored maid, “Do you, Comanche Bill, take,” &c. “Yes; me heap Melican man now. Me got heap plenty squaw in Comanche range. Me take um squaw.” Ranson. then proceeded to inform the happy couple that a litue formula must be now gone through, Bat this was as foreign to the Injuns as the Comanche language to the Squire, Alter some deaf and dumb pantomimes Bul finally understood, and as thé jolly Justice shouted for the twentieth time, ‘Kiss your bride, kiss your equaw, Bill,” Bill finally understood what was required and handed in the salutes in a loud and lively manner. Now, from a dirty, greasy buckskin Wallet, Bill pulls out a greenback and lays it upon the table saying, ‘Me ry ae, mo papoose, Independence, forty years ago. Injun come aud ketch Bill, Me Injun forty years now. Go Pennsylvania; got five squaws in Comanche country; want Mary; no tum. Hill steal her; go now be Melican man.’ ith @ most hideous peal of war whoops this strange creature gave three or four leaps towards the door, followed by his aquaw. Mounting their ponies they disappeared. The man was undoubtedly abducted many years ago by the Indians and has lived om them all his life, He now seeks his friends in Pennysivania. He is about forty-five and the woman avout twenty-five or twenty-six years of age. A PUBLIC AVENGER. Retribution for the Ice Panic ef Last Sum- mer—Let This Man Go!

Ducing her lifetime it was known she had plenty of money; yet not one of the scores of people who fed and clothed her, and invited her into their houses, ever dreamed of exacting pay from her at such times, but, on the contrary, urged her to sit at the family table and partake of the food, To all such, “Lochy'™ hinted they wouki not be forgotten. She died, how- ever, without having made a will, and now those (not all, however) who extended to her tha hospitalities of their houses are casting about for pay for civilliies shown the old muser; and their style oi “casting” 1s certamly novel, and in meny respects ludicrous, There 1s one bill pug against the estate for $6 35—mark the accuracy, “36 cents’”—for attention shown the little old woman in the way of administering to her creature come fort by donating to her ple, cake, cheese, &e. Ex- actly hoy many pieces of each is not stated. The same document contains A LITTLE BOARD BILL, which the person presenting the bill claims to have ran for six years—two meals per day at fifty cen per meal, or 1n total $2,190. Another bill is in total $1,000 for attentions shown “Lochy,’’ and time con. sained in showing such attentious | There are a haudfal of such bills, al of which will soon be tested and their detalls lald bare, a which time our city will be enabled to indulge tf one loud horse laugh because the situation will tn. deed e a comical one and may even cause poor old “Locny” to turn im her grave, ‘There is one bill, horvever, which claims spectal attention, Jt 1s for $12,000, and is presented by John P.
