Sam Antonio, Tex , May 25.—A singular instance of sudden acceaa to fortune just come to light in thia city. America Francis was born in Missouri about 1843, and when tin infant came to this State with the rest of the Francis family. They settled in Austin county, Texas, iu the eastern part of the State. It was when America Francis was quite j a young woman that Charles Gould, of Cincinnati, came to this country. He was the only sou of Carlos Gould, a Cincinnati millionaire, and brother of Jay Gould. Yonng Charles was suffering with weak lungs, and uuder a liberal allowance from his father was seeking softer air. He met Miss Francis, loved and married her without his father's knowledge. When old Carlos heard of it he did not off his sou forever, but he did the next thi.ig to it. He repudiated his family. Charles Gould lived with his wife until she bore him live children. They lived on the father'sallowauce. Once they went to Cincinnati and lived with Carlos Gould for three months, during which time he spoke to his son's wife otly once. Young Gould's failiug health took him to Los Angelos, Cal. His wife, children and father went with him. There he died, and there also Mrs. Gould lost three of her children, she and the old niau accompanying the three corpses to Cincinnati, where they now lie buried. It that city old Carlos finally shook oft' his daughter-in-law. He gave her money to pay her passage to the south, and she never saw him again. Subsequently she lost another child, and then the last left to her, her eldest boy, Hal, at the age of 15, went to Cincinnati to live with his grandfather, where he has since resided. Leading Bazaar in the County! Wheeling, May !M.—Ritchie county, this State, is once more in a state of great excitement over the outrageous performance of a gang of Red Men. Last Tuesday morning about 1 o'clock a party of marauders, numbering about 15,gathered silently about the house of Abraham Echard, a German farmer living about two miles from Horrisville, and called out to the family to open the door. This demand not being immediately complied with, the marked and otherwise disguised ruftians broke down the door and compelled the Echard family to march out, not giving them time to dress. The house was then ransacked and afterward fired. By the light of his burning home Echard and his wife were severely whipped. The party having finished its nefarious work rode away, telling Echard that they must be out of the country in 10 days. All household property and clotbiug were destroyed by the lire. The uexff day Ecliard swore out a warrant charging Thomas Tibbs and his son, James, with being two of the party. Ecbard and his wife at the examination made substantially the same statements, they told how the ruffiaus compelled them with cocked revolvers in their hands to march out and undergo severe castigation. Bothswore positively that they recognized Thomas Tibbs and James Tibbs in the crowd that committed the outrage. Notwithstanding this evidence and that of two reputable citizens, the men were discharged. Great dissatisfaction exists over this result. What possible motive is behind the crime it is difficult to tell. Echard is an inoffensive German, aud no intimation has ever been made that he is other than a law-abiding citizen. Mrs. Echard's testimony was very graphic and thrilling. She is an uneducated woman, but her wrongs burned into her and she told her story in the way to make the fortune of an actress. Her pathos, sincerety and vengeful anger carried those who heard her along with her as though they were moved by a scene in a powerful play. Early in the examination she turned on the accused aud pointing first at Thomas Tibbe and then at James, said with tremendous force, her hand almost in their faces, "That is the man who led uie around and that is tho one who whipped me. " West Virginia Red Men first became known to the world about eight years ago. At that time their aims and objects were commendable, even if their mode of treatment was somewhat harsh. They were then Regulators, or Vigilantes. Their first act was to hang ono Wallace, member of a gang in Marion county that had defied all laws with impunity for a long time, and drove the balance of the gang away after whipping them. They soon drifted into lawlessness, however, and the Legislature wa9 compelled to pass special laws providing for the pnnishment of these night raiders. —A feat In eye surgery is said by ft Chicago paper to have been performed at the County Hospital there. Not long ago fireman was taken to the institution to re ceive treatment for an eye which Had been wounded by a splinter. The little piece 01 wood hud entered the corner of the  eye ami torn out the innercanthus,so that; the patient always bore the appearance 01 looking at his nose with the injured eye. "The disease was called internal strabismus. Dr. Smith, of the hospital stall', cut the contraction and dissected it out, leaving a space of the mucus membrane of the bye about the size of a nickel bare. He then took a piece of the mucus membrano from the eye of a rabbit and placed it; where the dissection had occurred. The wound healed and the membrane from the eye of the rabbit grew to muscles where it was placed. The man now has full control of his eye and perfect sight." .1 <oiiIohh<><1 .Murderer. Mount Holly, N. J., May '2(3.— The confession of John VV. Garwood, who mnr| dered John Titus la this county thirty-five years ago, and who has since beeu living iu Michigan, was forwarded to the authorities here to-day by Sheriff Cole, Hauiasse county, Mich., to whom the confession was made. Garwood, who has hitherto been a well-to-do .and respected citizen of Durand station, confessed to him that ho murdered Titus in Burlington and buried hiu»in the potter's field with the assistance Garwood then went to Ciw i O., and thence to Michigan, where &»s resided ever since. Sheritt Col© will hold him until he receives orders from the authorities of Burlington •ounty. A Horrible Allair. New York, May 27.—Herr Most and his companions, Schenck and Braunschweig, were this afternoon found guilty of inciting to riot. Most addressed thejury in his own behalf. In summing up he said: "The police have tried to paint me black. They have hounded me down and tried to make me appear in a fearful light; I have been tried before European courts, but, even there, where the attorneys are the slaves of kings and emperors, they were not as bitter and vindicative as was the District Attorney yesterday and to-day. I have had less fairness shown me ia the free republic than was accorded mo by the slaves of despots. In luy speech I only told the workiugujeo of the Constitutional right to arm themselves, and to resist all unlawful attacks made upon them by the heirlings of Jay Gould, even todoath if necessary." The jury was out an hour anil a quarter. After the verdict Aioat and his companions appeared very nervous. They were quietly hustled into the "Black Maria" and driven to the Tombs. Frankie Folsom Met by Laraont. Minersville, Pa.,May 26.—Picturesque little Heckacherville, lying in a vale between two pine-capped unnamed mountains, is undergoing such an excitement as it never knew before over the di sappearance of its handsome young priest,the Rev. Father John 8. Keul, with aPhiladelphia girl. The dreamy village is inhabited solely by miners, whose modest frame dwelling houses are scattered in the valley in patches, but there is a little stone chapel, a white cross spire on the highland that brings the inhabitants all together, lor they idolize their priest, and know no higher temporal power. The Rev. Father Keul came to them a year ago to take the place ot Father McSwiggin, whose death they were mourning. He is a man of 150 years, well built, dark complexioned and handsome, and his eloquence won the heart of nearly every member of the parish, and brought him hearts from Minersville and and the outskirts of Coal Castle, a sleepy midway township. Nearly three weeks ago the good folks of Heckscherville noticed for the first time th» presence at the priest's residence, beside the chapel, of a pretty, black-eyed, lithe-formed girl, and they wondered who she could be. One old miner told them that she was seen to get off the train at Glen Carbon, a mile above, and walk down to the holy man's home, when all the village began whisperings. She took up her abode regularly there and in a short time it was learned that her name was Maggie McDevitt and that her home was at the reason given for her appearance in Heckscherville was that she had ilawn to Father Keul because her parents were opposed to her entering a convent and that he favored Falls of the Schuylkill, Philadelphia. The the idea and would yet see her anon. There was one man iu the little town, however, who shook his head and mut- tered, ''There's no good to come of it." It was Jerry O'Donnell, the groceryman, administrator of the estate of Father Mc- Swiggin, and to whom Father Keul was in debt. On last Sunday the Heckscherville church was crowded and Father Keul after preaching an eloquent- sermon, briefly annourced that the Catholic Mission was to beheld the next week. This was extraordinary, as it had always been the custom of :he priest of the parish to call meetings iu preparaiion of the event, which is one of the most important annual occurrences in the district. Jerry O'Donnell went home and brooded over the faot, and at midnight sprang up in bed, for he heard some one pounding at his door- It was one of his miner patrons who sought admission and he told the goodhearted Irishmen, gasping as he whispered it, that the yonng priest had packed his trunk and made preparations to leave the village before daylight with his female acquaintance. In brief time Jerry O'Donnell was dressed and secured behind a clump of trees on the broad highway that leads to Minersville. There he intercepted the priest and his companion as they were driving wway. O'Donnell stopped the priest's horse, demauded to know where the Father was going, and asked for the money which he owed him. After some protest the priest drove back to Heckscher ville and wrote a check for a portion of the amount. He then went away with the yonng girl and neither the priest nor the lady has since been seen. Last Sunday the Father's pulpit was unoccupied. The miners aud their families are deeply grieved over the affair and look upon it with fear as a sign of misfortune. An inquiry concerning the priest's disappearance arouses their ire and is like a knife stab to them. Sexton Gumfort consoled them for a while by telling them that his master had gone to put the girl in a convent and would return to-day. Wden the last train rolled in without him tonight, however, they gathered in groups out in the chilly air and muttered their discontent. Sexton Gnmfort xaid "It all looks very bad now. He promised to come back today. He locked his rooms up-stairs himself before I drove him and the young lady away. I saw her at dinner with him once, and he told mt that he would put her in a convent. He has a brother and mother in Philadelphia. It is understood whether Father Keul returns or not Jerry O'Donnell and his grocery store will have to go. The one question of the night and day si ifts from the colleries when they meet is, 'Have you heard from His Reverence, Father Keul!' " Milwaukee, Wis., May 25.—A dispatch was received from Rhinelander, in the northern part of this State, stales that a bouse of ill-fame, aliout a uiiie from that village, was, together with four of the inmatos, destroyed by fire at an early hour this morning. A tifth escaped alive, bnt is so badly burned that his life is despaired of. The deceased are: A. J. Smith, keeper 01 the place; Maggie Carroll, Dan Doyle and a woman reputed to be Doyle's wife. Emily M. Clark is fatally bnrned. It is thought the tire was the work of an incendiary, and two persons who escaped froui the burning building were arrested, but were dismissed for lack of proof by the coroner's jury. Monongahela City, May 26.—Some years ago a German tailor named Louis Kenneberg, was found dead, as supposed, in hi* bed at Monongahela City. He was buried in regular form. A few days ago he astonished his old employer by entering his shop and asking for work. He say* that he revived after he was buried and dng his way ont of the grave. The Republican is of the opinion that some of the doctors about town had dog him up for dissection, and finding him in a trance had bid him leave town and say nothing about his experience ip their hands.

A Cheyenne buck came into thtf post-trailer's store at Ft. Keogh five years ago holding in his hand a long icicle-shaped pendant of the purest kind of virgin gold, which he said he had broken oil from beneatli an orev-» hanging rock in the Big Horn Monuwould, however, tell nobody the exact spot where he got it from. How it came to be iu the bbape described it is hard to say. Probably the rock containing the gold was »*£°k by lighting which melted the gold, and it poured from the rock in a fluid state and cooled into :i moRS hefore falling to the ground. Nkw York, May 27.—The steamship Noorland, which sailed from Antwerp on the 15th inst., arrived a* quarantine at 11 o'clock to-night.
