BELL, ATTORNEYAT-LA W, BARGAIN BANNER ONE PRICE CLOTHIERS NORTHS MORRIS When the warrant was given to United States Deputy Marshall J. P. Gallagher to serve, he did not know that his prisonorto ha was a minister of the gospel, and when he learned that faot it took all the starch out of him. The reverend gentleman and hia wife had not arisen when Deputy Gallagher rang the bell at 10 o'olock in the morning, and he was requested to call again. The girl did not know that he was an officer, and Beemed surprised when ho insisted upon seeing Mr. Gilfillan. Mrs. Gilfillan was also surprised, and bo was Mr. Gilfillan. There was a scene when the marshal made known his errand. The clergymau stoutly denied his guilt, and when the liquor was hauled from beneath the bed he insisted that is was for his own uso. lie was granted a private hearing by Commissioner Hallet, and was held for fur ther examination. Boston, October 96.—An Episcopal clergyman of the Established Choroh of England waa today a prisoner before United Statee Commissioner Hallet charged with selling liqnor without a United State* lioenae. Three oaaee of lager and considerable hard liquor were found beneath hia bed, and witnesses are on hand to swear that they bought and paid for liquid refreshment, served from that room by a pretty barmaid, a la English style. Rev. Henry Qilfillan has been in this oountry about six months, and has preaohed in East Boston nearly every Sunday. He has an air, and is quite a favorite with the ladies of hia congregation, who are greatly taken with hia heavy black mustache, handsome black eyes and fresh rosy oheeks. Offered to Sell ller tililil. Tliore are several spurious bars at tiio Mint, which have been received from parties from various parts of the country, and which have never been claimed when their character became known. Philadelphia, Oct 25.—At the United State* Hint to-day a Urge bar, purporting to be gold, «m received from the Weat. It reeembled in shape the ordinary bars of that preoiooa metal and in appearance it looked lomething like it, bnt when it *« placed in the handa of the aaaayer that official waa not a moment in deciding that it waa spurious and of little value. A closer examination disclosed the faot that the bar was made if baae metals. A bar of gold of the same aize would be worth 135, 000. Who waa victimized Superintendent Fox was not inclined to state, and neither waa he willing to say who brought it to the mint. The spnrious bar contains two small holes drilled upon the top and bottom. It was explained that the sharpers resorted to the devise of fully imposing upon the parties to whom they approach by offering to demonstrate to them that the metal they are offering for sale, or upon which they desire aa advanco, is genuine by drilling four holes, two on the top aud two on the bottom. The borings, or what purports to be borings, arc then exhibited as proof that they are true gold. The true borings are never exhibited, the icoundrels having at hand borings of the genuine metal, which by some sleight-ofhand power they present to the viotim and challenge him to have the borings examined. The latter has thou become satisfied when told of the lineness of the gold and he decides upon either making an advance upon the spurious bar, or purchasing it outright. Then the bar is forwarded to the Mint, as was done in this case. This commission has found that Richards has been a lunatic six months aud all his transactions are, therefore, questionable. The verdict, however was such as not to ntl'eot the notes, which amount to £ 10,000, as they were issued more than 6ix months ago. Thus the endorser is secured, for ho holds Richards' judgment, and his property is worth $00,000. It now turns out that tho story abaut the son be ing heir to a fortune is all a myth. Tho ijueer pirt of tie btjry comes it now. lie had not at that time received the money from the estate, it was said, and to meet his heavy expenses his father issued notes, and had them indorsed by a friend, and then young Richards raised money on them. Tho parties who got the banks to disoount them shaved them considerably. The notes became due, and there was no money to meet them. The indorser became norvous, but tho family gave him assurances of protecting his interests. There were other claims pressing ami at the request of tho family a commission in lunacy was appointed to inquire into tho meutal condition of D.iuie! Richards, the father, who had given his son such free rein. £ aston, Ootober 27.— A good deal otdatereat has been manifested in the! development.-! lt> i cue involving considerable money in this vicinity. Some month* it was stated that S. L. Hioh.rds, aoa of Daniel Riohards, of Chaindara had been made heir to quite a fortune left bj a Boston man, who had taken a faney to him,while the testator was here on a visit. The yonng man at the time was a student at Layfayette College. The supposed heir spent money freely, and made quite a name for himself as a free and easy-going young man, who bestowed liberal and expensive gifts on his friends, and bought nothing but the best. Much money was expended on his house and private billiard room. The wonderful increase in our business during the past year has compelled us to secure a larger room, and as our highest ambition is to sapply tho wants of our friends and patrons, wo have rented tho corner room in the Hotel Pantall where wo will have a room 85 feet deep by 20 wide, making more than twice tho room we now occupy. And in order to avoid moving our mammoth stock of Clothing, Hats, Caps and Gent:! Furnishing Goods, we will offer extra inducements for the next thirty days. ike Bur Prices?

He was an American. lie opened Mr. Fruitt'n watch to find the time and then put it back. One passonger saved a roll of bills by concealing them in a soiled handkerchief which was offered to the robber. Pen a, Tkx, Oct. 'J7.—Tho Pena and Rio Grande stage was robbed about 20 miles from hero this morning, about three o'clock on the li andaro Plaoo. The robber was a short, thick man. Sergeant Fulmar and William E. Wyant, of tho United States army were among tho passengers, as was also Fred. W. Fruitt, of Now Orleans. These gentlemen were made, to hold up their hands and searched. The robber got >15 from Mr. Wyant besides other valuables. Horrible 'l'ritKedy in Ohio. San Francisco, Oot. 2f>.—The steamer Arabic arrived from Ilong Kong this afternoon. The Japan Gazelle has a statement published in the Chn>«se Time; to tbe eftect that tho action of i he Chinese Minister to the United States in the matter of tho treaty which was recently rejected by the Chinese Government, excited so great animosity against him in Kwantung that endoavors were mado by a mob to wreck tho minister's house. The Chinese Times also contains a letter, sigued by a l'ekin official and written just aftor the news had reached China that the United States Senate had passed the Chinese exclusion bill. Following is an extract : "If the obnoxious American bill should be carried into effect there will bo no other conrse open for China, consistent with her dignity as a nation, than to adopt retaliatory measures by prohibiting the citizens of the United States from coming to China. This will not be in proportion to the harm done the Chinese interests in America, but it will have to be done in order to show that the Chinese can do the same thing, and if this will have do effect in bringing the United States Congress and the United States Government to reason and fairness, then it will bo a question for China to consider whether it is not time for her to cancel her treaties made with that oonntry, to recall her subjects from there, to expel all the American citizens from this country, and to cfease all relations and intercourse, diplomatic and commercial, with that country." Sentenced for Repenting. The sympathies of the Judge and spectators were aroused, and a subscription was started for the unfortunate family, beaded by the Judge, which was taken up by Lawyer A. II. Berrick. In a few minutes a nice little sum of money was collected. She accepted it with express, ions of deep gratitude for such an unex - pected gift, and left the oourtroom. New York, October 28.—A pitiful scene occurred in the Fourth District Court yesterday before Judge Alfred Steckler, when a poor woman ottered to sell her child to pay a debt incurred by her husband. Isaac Harnett was sued by one of his workmen for wages and a judgment of $7.E>0 was given against him. Mr. Barnett.was too ill to appear in court, but his wife was there as his representative. She carried a babe in her arms and two little boys clung to her skirts. She looked the picture of misery. With tears in her eyes Bhe told the Judge that her husband was sick in bed, and could not pay the money because they did not have a cent in the world. She declared that her children were starving, and without the proper clothing, and that all tho wearing apparel she owned was the old dross she wore. Tbe woman cried out that she conld not pay tho money, and if it came to the worst all she oould do was to sell her babe to satisfy the claim against her husband.

After condemning the Italian Government and stating that the hatred of all foes of the Papal See was concentrated in Rome, the pope said : "In this oily they do not hesitate to con firm by new insults, even on solemn occasions, the usurpations which are within the remembrance of the whole world, degrading Rome to the simple position of the capital of the kingdom, while Ood prtdestined t to he the See of the Vicar if Christ; and it ■hall ever remain the capital of tht- Oii'holio world." in lo.icirdin,: t.lie Pi p t impressed perfect faith in the tiiuuix'h oi lils , cause.
