TBXJITT, New Him, Com., Sept. 17.—Ex-Eepre*eatative John 8. Taoker, a wealthy citizen of Emir, ha* had in his employ (or tome months past a Tory fine looking colored coachman named John W. Hanohett. The man earn* well recommended, and ao far as attention to datiee went wae a model •errant. Of late Mr. Tucker** nineteenyear-old daughter, Mis* Mary, has been taking a great many rides, ostensibly for visits and shopping, and it is now reoalled that she never asked any one to aooompany her. It was her habit to ass the family carriage, which had partially inolosed sides, and.handsome John always ocoupied the front seat. A few days ago the young lady disappeared and with ber went the coachman. The village minister threw light npon the mystery by saying that he married the ooachman to quite a pretty quadroon, and it is now the belief that Miss Tucker stained her face, neck and hands for deceptive purposes. Miss Tuck - er's pap and a posse of his friends are pursuing the runaway couple, and her daddy says he will kill Hanohett on light. Pottsvillk, Sept. 16.—This section of the ooal regions is onoe more wild with excitement. A oold-blooded iwnlnation took plaoe at dawn. This cruel crime waa committed within 40 yard* of the identical apot where the Hollies murdered Lit dehale in March, 1867. The victim this morning waa William H. James, fire boas at Glen Carbon oolliery. James left his humble home at 4:30 this morning to walk to work. He had not gone far when he stepped to the main road. Suddenly a loud report was heard. The flash from a gun or musket sent a puff of smoke from a clump of boshes by the roadside. Ou the instant James fell headforemost into the dust, his back and spine mangled to atoms by the bnckshot that crashed into him. *His life blood made a pool where he lay in the agoniea of death. Kind bauds carried him to the home which he had left a short time before a happy man. Dennis Cahill, who lives near the spot, was the ilrst to reach the wounded man.

C., Sept. 14.—The report of the Commissioner of Pensions shows that there were at the olose of the year 406,007 pensioners. There were added to the rolls daring the year the names of 55,194 new pensioners and the names of 2,707 whose pensions had been previously dropped were restored to the rolls. Daring the same period the names of 17,677 were dropped from the roll. The aggregate annual value of all pensions is $52,834,641; an increase of like value for the year of $8,116,033. The amount paid for pensions during the year was $73,465,561, an increase In amount over the previous year of $9,669,750. The amount paid to 44,019 new pensioners during the year upon first payment was $15- 166,990. During the year 55,194 original certificates were issued in greater number than was ever before issued by the bureau in any one year. The estimates for the fiscal year ending June 30,1888, aggregate $79,045,230. The appropriation for the last fisoal year was $78,701,250.

The room was cleared of people, but be persisted in refusing to say wbo it was and it is believed be did not recognize tbe man sufficiently to satisfy his own mind. It was dark at the time and identification would have been difficult at best. A number of doctors quickly arrived. The spine was so badly shattered that James' sight became affected and failed him. From that time on it was impossible to get anything out of the wounded man. At first he thought he knew the assassin. Tbe latter had fired at short range and was no doubt single handed in his cowardly act. Unfortunately, however, the wounded man's ravings about his family to whom his eyes were closed in his last conscious hours, diverted his attention from all olse, and if he knew wbo tired the shot it was not diseloaed before death ensued. Ha died Ave hours alter ho was shot. James is spoken of as an exemplary man, and uo motive for the cruel deed can be imagined. A HEARTLESS CHIME. It is not known that he had in t-ie discharge of hid duties incurred such intense ill-will of any one who had been employed at the colliery. Those who have questioned the neighbors about the deed cannot gain a clue to anything that would stand even in the mind of a murderer as an excuse for bo horrible a crime. Uicliardson's colliery did not start this morning, and Superintendent Kelly had the whole force oat scouring the woods iu search of tha murderer. The last reports received from there indicate that the pursuit has been fruitless. It Is believed that the murderer has mingled with the crowd. The doceased leaves a wife and five children, the oldest a boy of years and the youngest twins of 6 months. Ho was of Weljh descent bat born in this country, and of good character. Tne excitement is intense, and if the murderer ft caught he will be swung to the nuarest tree. "WHO DID IT V '"Yon would be surprised if you knew," he said. Toledo, O., Sept. 16.—This afternoon the body of Mrs. Louise Krieger was fouud floating in the river. Tuesday night her hat tu discovered on the St. Clair bridge, and ever since then friends have been searching for her without avail. When first discovered, to the horror of the bystanders, the body was weighted with goblets of shot. The face was badly cat and the hands were torn and bleeding. There is no doabt in the minds of the authorities that the woman was murdered. When Charles Remly, a sailor, in whose company she was last seen, was arrested for the murder he asked permission to see her, and turned horror stricken from the braised and blackened body. o 2 m nTTTin ma a iviM $2.00, $2.50, $3.00, $4.00, $5.00, nilMDPn lIHU *6-°°. *7.00, $8.00, $9.00, $9.50, 11 If r. 111.I 111 I N f1®00.

Va., Sept. 14.—Last night the barn of Josiah Holden, a farmer of Pleasants county, was burned to the gronud. The oontents, consisting of valuable farm maohinery, large quantities of grain and hay and nine blooded horses, were destroyed. The work was that of an incendiary, and he went about it systematically. When the fire was discovered it was found that the surface of the barn bad been covered with coal oil and that oil had been thrown upon the straw iu the mangers and some upon the horses. The doors had been fastened from the inside and the barn fired from the hay-mow. The flames soon spread to the horses, and aa they were covered with fire it was impossible to release them. The loss, uninsured, will be $9,000. HR. W. J. CHANDLER, SURGEON DENTIST, FimzOTAwnT, PA. Qgoein cornerroom. TorrenoeBloeh.  rp B. MOBBISON, D. D.

Fortunately the blow, struck with terrible force, missed its mark, and the boy tamed to run for hiB life. As he did so, the monster made a savage rush at him. Coming cut of the water, he seized Maurice by the leg, inflicting a slight dosb wound and tearing off a great portion of the boy's trousers. Before the alligator could get a second bold on the boy, he had scrambled up the landing and was oat of danger.

The Anarchists had no council at Ottawa to represent them before the court as the decision was announced, and no steps were taken in their behalf. They have fifteen days in whioh to file a motion for a rehearing and thirty days from the close of the term to file a petition in support thereof. This will not act as a stay of sentence and they will have to show very strong grounds before the Court would consent to the issue of a stay of execution until a rehearing could be had next term. AX ANARCHIST ORGAN RAVES. From the appearance of the streets in the exterior of the jail any one oonld tell that some great event was going on. As the news spread, citizens, coatless and some bare-headed, lett their places of business and rushed towards the jail to verify the report. Among the crowd, growing thicker every moment, the blanched faces of rough-looking foreigners could be seen darting hither and thither, jabbering excitedly with ngly grimaces, and elinohing their fists aa they talked to one another. The police would permit no loitering, and therefore the crowd kept marching up and down discussing the all-absorbing topic. The Arbeiler Zeitung, of which Spies was editor, in announcing the decision says "The Supreme Court in Ottawa, the legal instrument of the capitalistic reign, has affirmed the outrageous verdict which decided that seven of onr best oomrades shall suffer the death of martyr* for the oanae of the laboring people, and that the eighth shall serve a fifteen year eentence in the penitentiary. * • \ "We are, however, the adherent* of Spies and hi* comrade* and we will not cry out revenge at an inopportune time, bnt we will do | everything that remain* to be done." Chicago, Sept 14.—The first offleial information that reached this city was a telegram from the. Court [Clerk at Ottawa to the State's Attorney's offloe here, saying: —"Anarchists' case affirmed; execution November 11." Mr. Puroell, of the State's Attorney's offloe, ran at once to the jail with thediepatoh. Following onhis heels was a messenger carrying a telegram for August 8piee that had been sent from Ottowa by an agent of the Anarchists. The turnkey who took the dispatch to cell 25 and shoved it through the bars lingered a moment to watch the effect it would have on Spies. The took the message, glanced firmly at the turnkey and then withdrew to the dark end of his cell. In two minutes or so he called gently to the old man who sits as death-watch ontside his barred door and asked him to band the yellow telegraph sheet to Parsons. From him it went to all the others, and at last reached Nee be, who is only under sen. tenceof imprisonment. Newspaper men had been rigorously shut out from the condemned men, and all observations had to be taken from the ontside of the cage, about ten yards from the oell door. It oould be dimly seen that each of the condemned men made ostentations efforts at coolness and bravado. They took seats at their cell-doors, and read newspapers and books, smoked cigars, and once Lingg, the bomb-maker whistled. Their wives and friends had been with them for an honr, during the morning, but about thirty minutes before the news came they were all excluded and the prisoners locked up, each alone by himself. Sheriff Matson had remained away from the jail. By his orders daring the night the guards had all been doubled. Including the court bailiffs,there were twenty of the Sheriff's men on duty, ten turnkeys and guards that are on regular duty at the jail, and six polioetueu who patroled the alleys on the outside. Capt. Schaack brought with him four detectives this morning, who were stationed in the jail courts. Upon Capt. Schaack the protection of the jail devolves. He professes to experience no uneasiness from any attempts to break into the jail and says he has taken every precaution. A FURTHER APPEAL. A reporter was Capt. Blnck's first informant of the decision. Daring the moments occnpied in giving the Anarchists' senior counsel the dread information his face was a study. His under jaw dropped down, the right hand went up to his forehead with a lightning-like jerk, and the Captain gasped "Is it possible f Seven men to hang." Great as was his apparent surprise, his manifestation of disappointment was greater. "The only remaining course for us to pursue," said he, "is to take the case to the United States Supreme Court. I shall immediately go before the Supreme Court at Ottawa and ask for reasonable time to secure a certified transcript of the Tecord for presentation to the Supreme Court at Washington. Suoh proceedings are rare, but I haven't any doubt of the Court's decision on that point," and Capt. Black rose and paced the floor with long strides refusing to speak farther.
