R. Ritchie, Union Pacific detective, caused the arrest of three young toughs (one our Methodist minister's son) for placiog a te on the railway track, and the examination developed the fact that the three undertook to beat thelr way from Clark’s to Central City and were put off the train about half way and placed the tie on the track from spite, One of the offenders was bound over to appear at court yosterdsy. A shooting affray occurred over Jome disputed corn between & Mr, Snodgrass .| and Hiram Andrews in which Mr, Andrews received two flesh wounds in the arm, No ar- rests, But the crowning event of all, and the one that has met the whole town agog and sed loud and frequent threats of an organ ization of Judge Lynch's court is the arrost of J. Edwin Dorsheimer, the gay young school teacher of Chapman precinct, on a charge of rape and bastardy. The pitiable object of his dastardly crime is s fatherloss child of thirteen who was attending school to him and he, taking advantage of a stormy day when no other scholars ware present, acoom- plisbed bis object by force, and th child will ome & mother n the course of a fow weeks. What_makes tho caso more agravating is the fact that he ismarried Into a respectable family here, and ho has & wife and child with whom he was keeping house, His wite Is almost crazed with grief, and is making strenuous efforts to procure bail but 0 far without success; and it seems to be the general opinion that he is safer within his cell than he would be out of it, and even his pres ent securs abode is mot likely to keep him from securing a decoration of tar and feathers, together with a little judicions surgery that seems neceasary, Like other parts of the state we are suffer- ing from too much cold, wet weather, al- though farming is well advanoed and with an increased acreage. ‘When we have another sensation will come again, B At the ceroner's inquest Drs, Hamlton and Shaw, who had made the post mortem examination, testified that there were no ex ternal marks of violence on the deceased. All his organs wero’ healthy cxcapt the lunas, which were badly cobgested, This could re- sult from suffocation or strangulation.

CH1cAGO, May 1,—The dead walls of the clty were covered with red paper posters bearing the word ‘‘Bread,” yesterday.
