(From the Newark Journal, Feb. 17.] This, truly, 1s the age of marvels, and so rapidly do they come upon us, oue alter the other, that we have scarcely time to ponder over and realize the marvellous in one event before another breaks in and in turn absorbs the attention of every reflective mind, No age has witnessed such a brilliant ka- leidoscope of remarkable events as ours, We have almost become stoics—callous-minded, 80 to speak—from the constant change from one marvel to another. Nevertheless there are occasions when the most indifferent cast aside their stotcism and unite with the herd in the interest felt and mani- fested in some new event. These occasions, it must be confessed, are rare, and when they do come we may be sure they are worth wondering at and talking about, The latest marvel isin the news- paper world, and is the organizing and equipping at an enormous outlay by a single newspaper establish- ment an expedition to search out in the interests of science and humanity the great African explorer, Dr. Livingstone. re This is an epoch in journalism, and it should be, as indeed it is, the pride of the American press that tne honor of creating this epoch belongs to a lead- ing American journal—the New YORK HERALD. It is nothing new in the history of this remarkable paper for a gigantic journalistic idea to be devel- oped and carried out, but of its later master strokes none is so positively startling in the idealistic breadth anda grandetr of its scope as this Living- stone exploring expedition, under the command of the giited and courageous Stanley. It is the crown- ing point of the HERALD’s enterprise. Had Liv- ingstoue been an American the world would have marvellea at the expeditionary taea; but, being a British subject, we are lost in admiration at the sweeping spirit of liberality made manitest in the mauer. To realize the immensity of this newspaper proj- ect the reader should bear in minc that tne Doctor 1s not only a British subject, but a British oMcial— Her Britannic Majesty's Consul for Central Africa, we believe. The very latest reliable news received in England of the Doctor prior to Stanley’s report is,under date of May 30, 1869, nearly three years ago. Livingstone then reported that the work still before him was to collect the lakes he had discovered; that he nad intended to explore a lake to the westward of Tanganyika, in the Man- yema country, and thence to complete his labors, but he was sorely in need of men anc supplies, ‘The Arab waders interested in the slave wade were anxious to thwart him, and noone would take charge of his first letters. He mentioned having written thirty-four letters, which had been lost. A year later the British government voted £1,000 to send supplics and assistance to the Doctor; these, it is presumed, never.reached him. Stnce then, until very recently, the British government nor the British people took any further tangible interest in the matter, ‘The Doctor was abandoned to his fate, It was then that the representative newspa- ver of America rusiied to the relief of the avan- doned expiorer. The first news ol tnis Heraidic expedition reached us six or eight weeks ago, and since then the press of this and other countries have recognized the spirit of enterprise thereby mani- Jested, and expressed the warmest admiration, But of ail the tributes paid the HERALD tn tuts mat- ter the greatest and most significant was a tele- grum flushed over the cable trom London on Wednesday and printed in the Journal of that aiternoon. The telegrain was a3 follows:— Lonpon, Feb, 14, 1872, The English expeditionary force commissioned to search for Dr. Livingstone in the intertor of Africa has taken its departure trom London, the necessary funds for its support and conungent expenses hav- ing been subscribed since tne active initiation of the moveineut by the Royal Geographical Society, An American newspaper shamed the British peo- ple into this effort, not by high-sounding editorial verbiage, but by quiet and effective action. Ac- tions do indeed speak louder than words, as is _berein so thoroughly demonstrated by our contemporary’s active triumph, If nothing more than is aiready known should come of the HEBALD expedition, enough has al- ready been accomplished to command for our contemporary the proudest position yet acnieved by any newspaper in what is called “the fourth estate,” out wich is fast becoming the first. All honor to the journal whose tonnaer and proprietor 1s justly entitled to de called the Father of American Journalism, and that means of tne world, What the venerable Morse has accomplished tor the elec- tric telegraph the white-haired, septuagenarian Bennett las for the newspaper press, “MORE MYSTERY, Another Fatal Sk: jem An Inves= Another case, which may prove to have been a murder, is now under investigation before Coroner Herrman.

The experiences of the travel- lers differ, but most of them denounce the management of the Union Pacific without stint, saying there was no excuse for such long delay and hardships, avd that with reasonable energy and determination on the part of officials who understood their business the blockade could have been raised or passed two weeks ago. A number threaten suit against the company for damages. Several arrived here to-day, among them some ladies, utterly worn out, pros- trated and sick from their trials.

The Journal, of this city, will to-morrow\(Sunday) publish a starting account of one of the most daring outrages ever yet perpetrated by the noto- rious outlaw, Heory Berry Lowry, and his gang. Last night they emtered Lumberton, the county seat of Robeso county, and made a most successful and lucrative raid upon the peaceful citizens of tat town. The gang, it seems, first broke into Newberry’s carriage manu. factory, where they supplied themselves with such tools as they needed. STEALING A SAFE AS WRLL AS THE CONTENTS. They then yisited the stables of A. W. Fuller, Where they secured @ horse and dray, and thus pre- pared proceeded w the store of A, H. McLeod, from whence a heavy tron safe was taken and placed on the dray. They next visited the Sneri‘’s office, in ‘the County Court House, trom which his iron safe was also taken and placed with the other. With this plunder they started from the town; but as the Sheriff's safe was found yesterday morning lying in the street, about @ hundred and fifty'yards from his office, i 1s sup- posed that It dropped off and was abandoned. PURSUIT OF THE SHRRIFF AND POLICE. Early yesterday morning, as soon as the loss was discovered, the Sheriff being absent, his deputy, Alexander McMullan, summoned a posse and pro- ceeded in pursuit of the outlaws. At a point about three miles from the town they came up with the gang, but being too weak to effect their capture a messenger was sent back for reinforcements, A large number of men immedt- ately volunteered and followed at once to the scene; but the robbers had effected their retreat, carrying off with them the money, but leaving the safe and a portion of the papers behind, These, with the horse and dray, were taken back to the town, when it was discovered that the safe had been forced open with sleage hammers and cold chisels, with which the gang had provided themselves at Newherry’s establish- ment. The loss is very heavy, and consists of $22,000 in money taken from McLeod's safe; a lot of goods and a number of valuable private papers were taken from the Sherti’s office, which were destroyed. THE MONEY STOLEN LENT ON DEPOSIT. Nearly all the money stolen was on deposit, which, as there is no bank in’ Lumberton, had been Placed in McLeod’s custody by ulfferent parties for safe keeping. Besides this some one thousand dol- lars’ worth of merchandise was taken from the store, none of which Was recovered. The books and papers contained in the safe are all secure, Jt was plainly evident that the store had been en- tered by means of keys, as was also the Sheriff's ofice. Treachery on the part of so-called ‘de- tectives” is suspected; but this may be all supposi- tion, The town has been in a tremendous state of excitement, which had abated but very lirtle when this information was forwarded here. There 18 now a reward of $35,000 by the State government for the capture of the Lowrys, dead or alive, AFFAIRS IN UTAH.

Xr. TWEED called the meeting to order, and any doubt as to his re-election was dissipated by the thundering cheer with which he was received. Some important business, the nature of which has not transpired, was then transacted, together with @ discussion on the fnancial condition of the club, over which there was cousideravle debate. Finally, however, matters are sald to have been explained and adjusted satisiactorily. On a motion it was resolved that in future all Dossibie economy Consistent with the standing of the Americus Cino shall be observed, and that in future no [ree bar shall be f ermitted, and that ai drinks shall be paid for at the usual club rates, aud that every member inviting guests shall pay $3 per day for them should they accept the hospitality of the club for over one nigut.

It was then that he became acquainted with Miss Belle, and at once felt im love with her. His employer was: well satisfied with the manner in which he performed the duties assigned him, and tn a short time increased his. wages, not knowing, however, of the love’ affatr. During the resent winter they were almost constantly tn each other's society, until finally young Morgan con- cluded to go tnto business-for himself, in order tha he might accumulate sufficient money with which ‘wo get Married and to proviae his aManced with a new home. In accordance therewith he left the house of his inamorata, but nevertneless they often Met by chance, ‘The usual way, and finally conciuded to elope; On Wednesiay of last week Mr. and Mrs, Eno lett Pine Plains ona visit to a friend, The same afternoon Henry Mor- gan procured the services of somebody to. carry liquors to Mr. Eno's jousae, to give to the hired help, intending to get them. intoxicated and thereby get them out of the way. Whether in this particular point his plan succeeded we are unable to state. However, between two and three o'clock Thursday morning the persever- ing lover was beneath his darling’s window, and gave a signal. The window sash was cautiously and quietly raised and almost immediately a trunk emerged trom the window pressed forward by un- seen hands. Around it wasa rope with which 10 was lowered to the ground, when it was quickly seized by Morgan, placed in a sleigh and taken to the depot of the Dutchess and Columbia Railroad. Tms trunk, according to the statement of a correspondent, bore the name of Miss Belle’s aunt. The lovers had previously agreed that they should meet each other at the depot in time to take the early morning train to Stissing, then come to Poughkeepsie, via Poughkeepsie and Eastern, She was to get on board of the train irom the platform, and he was to go around on the other side out of sight and get on board. It was also agreed that if anything oc- curred she was to go to Rhinebeck in some way and then come down on the Hudson Kiver road to Poughkeepsie, where he would meet her aud both go to College Hill Hotel. ut there's Many aslip ‘Twixt cup and lip, Both met at the uepot at the time agreed upon, Unfortunately the train was behind time. As soon as tt came, however, young Morgan rushed around out of sight, and got on board. leaving Miss Belle on the platform to get on voard alone. Just us he was getting into the car, and unknown to nim, Miss Belle's sister appeared on the scene and, as young Morgan atterwaras stated, ‘spoiled the whole thing.” By dint of upbraidqngs and tear- ful solicitations she prevailed upon Belle to return to her home, while the train whiried away with ner jover, he happy in his dreams of the future, not suspictoning for an instant that his well matured pinus had been frustrated, When Mise Beile reached her home again she hur- riedly and secretly despatched a note to her lover's brother, Mr, Charies Morgan, explaining the situas {ion and giving him instructions how to act. He hada good sleigh and hired a pate of horses to draw it, 4ssoon as they were harnessed he drove to an adjoining highway, when Miss Selle lett the house privately through a window, passed out through the barn and cemetery adjacent to the spot where her lover’s brother was waiting, and jumped tnto the sleigh, She had no bonnet on her head, being simply covered with a light scarf, The whip was applied, and, as the sletghing was good, the horses dashed away lively for Rhinebeck. By this time all was again excites ment mm the viilage. The giri’s grandfather and an- other person quickly harnessed a pair of black trot- ters owned by Mr. Eno and started in pursuit, always urging their horses to the top of thetr speed. When near Rhinebeck they «discovered the fugi- tives ahead, and urging their horses to a still higher speed caught up with and passed them, and then, whirling their,animals around, blockaded the road, and demanded the girl, A discussion en- sued, which resulted in Miss Belle being taken back to Pine Plains. Young Morgan came to Pough- keepsie and put up at the morgan House, staying there till Friday afternoon walling patiently for the arrival of Miss Belle. During Friday he learned how she had been tutercepted, and in the latter part of the day, with saddened heart, left tne city for Pine Plains with the determination of yet marrying the object of his adoration. The parties move in the highest circles o1 society at Pine Plains, and this little episode in their lives has created tue liveliest gossip. A PHILADELPHIA CHEMIST DIES IN THE TOMBS. Somebody to Blame—An Investigation To Be Had—Statement of Dr. Nealis. A case requiring explanation and thorough inves- tigation occurre: at the Tombs about nine o'clock yesterday morning. On Thursday afternoon last Omicer Kelly, of the Thira precinct, took tothe Tombs @ very respectable appearing man in a semi- conscious condition, and Justice Hogan committed Tim to the care of the Commisstoners of Chart- ties and Correction for treatment. Dr. Neallts, the prison physician, on seeing the man, told the otticer that was no place for him, as he was liable to die, and should have gone to the hospital. Being threatened with a report to the Police Commission- ers, Officer Kelly sald the police surgeon who had seen the man, and not himse!f, was to blame. Dr. Neails vook the patient under nis care, and treated him up to the time of his death, Which took place as stateg. Papers found in possessi on of deceased showed that his name was Carnes, P. Dillon or Jonn Db, Duggan, a chemist, of 2,207 Carter street, Phtiadeiphia, He also had two letters from his daughter and one ad- dressed to him from the President of the Jefferson Medical College, Coroner Schirmer has taken charge of the case and to-day Deputy Coroner Cushman will make @ post-mortem examination on the bovly at the Morgue, whither it has oeen sent. ‘As the matter stands at present the police sur- geon who sent the dying man to the Tombs instead Of the hospital comes in for a large share of cen- sure. He should have made a thorough diagnosis of tne patient’s case, who came under his care. and not hurried him off to the Tombs as a criminal. It 1s possible, however, that the Doctor may have a consistent and good deience fur the cause he pursued, but, at all events, he will have an opportunity to be heard be- fore the Coroner and @ jury on Monday next, when the Investigation is to take place. Should. it be proved that Mr. Duggan’s death was hastenea by neglect or incompetency on the part ‘of the police doctor a tearful G lieetagel J will be placed on his shoulders. The relatives of deceased have been communicated with, and it is believed they will come on and claim the remains for interment. Dr. Duggan was forty-eight years of age and a native of Ireland, WHAT DR, NEALIS SAYS, ~ A HERALD reporter called on Dr. Nealis at the Tombs yesterday, and obtained the following state- ment of the case from him:—When I saw the appearance of the man, when the oMicer took him 1u, I knew that he was in no fit condition to be sent to the Tombs, and I told the oficer that in case the man died | should report nim. He said in re- ply he was only obeying orders; that the surgeon of the precinct had directed him to remove the man to the Tombs, he being destitute, and he had no alternative but to do as he was told. The poor fellow, the patient, I saw instantly was in a dying condition, 13 pulse was almost gone and his extremities were cold as death, He was so far gone that | was unable to say what disease he was suffering irom. It was only by the unsparing use of stimulants he was kept alive so long as he was. I did all | could to help bim, but of course L could be of no use. It the man had been sent to a hospital there ts some provability that he mignt have lived; but to make @ dying man walk from the Third precinct station house to the Tombs was criminal in the extreme. Cases like this are numerous. We have abcut filteen deaths at the Tombs every year, and they are all of a like nature. Persons are taken here either dangerously ill or dying, When the proper Piace for them would be the hospital. I have known some to be brought who died almost ihe moment they entered the door, There is blame somewhere, and the matter should be thoroughly investigated. I have no power to refuse admission to such cases when they are commitied, but the proper place for them 1s in the hospital. At the Third precinct station house they allexe that the man was arrestea for drunkenness aud vagrancy, and that the proper course under the circumstances was adopted. PATAL FALL FROM A WINDOW.

Thirteen miles east of this place, up among ite pine and hemiock hills of Suliivan county, m the town of Bethel, is Black Lake, one of those small inland lakes for which the county 1s noted,and named on account of the very dark cotor of tts waters, A tannery ts erected here, and scattered here and there im the forest and clearings aso’ %m? homes of the lwborers at the tannery, making quite asettiement about the lake. and solitary spot, was witnessed withtit the week a scene that STRUCK TERRO® TO THE STOUSEST HEARTS, and which called fort the exnibition ef those qualities of courage aud endurance which aré the pride of the back woodsman, to a degree that has no parallel in the annals of cowrageous deeds, ‘The children of some of the empioyés at thetan-- nery had gathered at the house of oue of them, where they enjoyed thenaselves until nearly even- ing. one day this week, ‘Two little giris, Helen, Brooks, daughter of Wiliam C. Brooks,’ foreman of the tannery, and Hattie’ Schoonmaker, proceeding bome from the’ party, took a “short cut’? across the lake, which 18+ rozen over, und Was considered sate. When they’ had reached almost the other shore Hattie BROKE THROUGH THE ICE, and in trying to help ner out Helen supped in too. ‘They both sank, and when they eame up, according ‘ to James Kilcain, a tad tiiteen years old, who was working a Tew rods irom the shore, they were en- twined in each others arms. Young Kilcain at onee started towards the hole in the ice, with the intention of giving the girls all the assistance in his. past power, When he reached them they were strag- ging to grasp holt of the ice, Kilicain got hola of them, and had them halt way out of the water when the ice gave way beneath lum, and all tiree were plunged beneath the chill- ing water, When they came up the laa began shouting for assistance, James Brooks, who was in the woods near by, now came upon the scene, It was his sister in the Water With the others, and he ram to heip her. In reacting out HE SLIPPED INTO THE WATER, Both girls had been clinging to young Kilcain, and he was fast becoming exhausted with his efforts to keep them and tim above the surface. When the other boy fell in his sister let go of Ki n, apd twined ‘herself around her brother, He succeeded in freeing his arms, and then attempted to reach one ego of the tee. It would break away with the combined weignt of him and his sister, and tired him so that he de- sistea, and the two boys began shouting for aid. Thomas Burt, another boy, was aturacted by the cries, and ran to the edge of the ice, aud insianuy broke through, There were now FIVE OF THEM IN THE WATER, all struggling fearfully for itte. A man named Max Deseker, & brawny wood-chopper, hearing the shouts of the children when he was working tn tne Woods, ran down to the lake shore, and beheld the situation. He had his little five-year old son with him, and telling nim to remain quiet on the shore, rushed to the struggling little ones in the water, only to snare their tate, AS s00n as he plunged tn the water both Iitttle girls grasped huld of his coat, and he was keeping then afloat, when his little son, terrified at seeing his father in the water, jamped in anc grasped hint around the neck, The whole settlement had now been attracted to the shore of the lake and the wildest excitement prevailed.

Oue was brought, and he suc ceeded in pulling out THE INANIMATE FORM of the Schonmaker girl as she was sinking beneath the ice. ‘Thomas Vent, lather of the boy who had already fallen in in aiding the giris, now jumped in to the assistance of Deseker ana the rest, and alter him went Thomas Hanley. These two sustained the almost exhausted and irozen Deseker and the boys ‘until a plank and more tannery hooks were brought, aud by toeir aid. ALL SAFELY LANDED. The girls, altnough beileved to be* dead, were resuscitated, ‘The others were restorea by ‘warm fires and clothing. The affair created a sensation throughout this entire section of country, and the courage and noble conduct of Deseker, Hanley, Dent, father and son, anu the lads Kilcom and Brooks, is a theme of hundreds of admiring tongues.
