About $5,000 worth of diamond* and an* tiqne family jewel*, which Mr. Benainger kept (towed away, were taken and no traoe of the thlof left ibehind. The owner advertised every day for a month, oftering $2,000 toward for the return of tho jowela - and no qaeetlona aaked. One day he received a communication . from the thief proposing to return the stolen property for $3,000. Mr. Bensinger promptly agreed to pay the additional $1,000, because he valued the jewel* much beyond their intrinsic worth. Hi* haste in acceding to the thief's demand made that individual believe be might as well have 95,000 as not, and he so informed ifr. Bensinger. After considering this last proposition of the crafty thief, the owner of the diamonds concluded to give the amount demanded. The robber made him sign a statement that he would not prosecute.Yesterday was the day set for the return of th9 missing property. About noon a messenger boy entered the company's office with a bnndle. When opened it was found that the thief bad been as good as bis word, for every jewel was intact. Mr. Bensinger wrote a check lor $5,000, and the messenger, according to agreement, departed unmolested. A Loadable Effort. LmwHOR, Jill 88.—Crinil John B. Caatlanan aad AdJntant b|N WilliMH returned frosa Mtrahead to-day, whaaa they had been aeat by OfwawlMtt to laqnira into the propriety et eendlag traapa there to attend on th» sesaiona of theCircuit Court which la art to oonvene tbara next Monday. Troop* km been aakad for by Judge Cola, Sheriff Hogg and others. 4Tbe Sheriff ia in Mount Sterling, and declaree that he will not go to Morehead to attend ooort anleas troopa are aant to maintain the peaoe. The Governor'* commissioners, after examining the sitoatloo carefully, decided to report adversely to •ending troope to Morehead.^ The town ia dead. Every bueineaa houae ie oloeed and the doore nailed np, with the exception of one small grocery store and ■aloon, the latter being carried on by the widow of Craig Tolliver. The Rainey Hotel ie also open, With these exoeptiona no boa in ess whatever ie oarried on at Morehead. The town ia patrolled day and night by 40 members of the Law and Order Society, and these men are armed with Winchester riflee, and are the only persons to be seen moving around. They aie constantly on the alert for at attack from the Tolliver gang, aD(j rumors of the cloee proximity of the gang to the town are heard every day. All members of the Law and Order Society object to the preaenoe of troops, and persons who are known to have been on the other side are vehement in their request for military aid. The former express their ability to protect citizens and aid the ooort in the full execution of the law. It is the general feeling that aa soon as the patrol is removed or if it should become careless, so as to afford an opportunity, the Tolliveritee will sweep down cn the town and avenge the death of their chief and his kinsmen. It is known that an organization for that purpose is in easy reach of Morehead, and the chances are that more bloodshed will follow the slightest opportunity for an attack. The presence of troops might temporarily avert this, bat the only true solution of the bloody feud is to let the citizen* of Rowan county settle it among themselves. Philadelphia, July 2i?.—Down in the poorest part of the oity where even charit y seldom calls, a little girl who could scarcely find food or clothing enough to keep her own little body warm, became deeply interested in a poor woman Jiving in the neighborhood and determined to help her. The little girl heard that once upon a time a little boy got his mother into a beautiful home for the aged by collecting 1,000,000 ' cancelled postage stamps, and she went about from office to office and told what she wanted of the stamps, and she gained so mnch sympathy and aroused so mnoh interest in ber case that now nearly 500,- 000 stamps have been collected and are in possession of [J. G. Fling, of Gerraantowc. Many prominent charitable and society people in thi» city took a deep interest in the collection, yet not one of them knew anything of the woman. Stamps have been received from all the large cities and towns of the State. The collection became a craze among the society people. l£r». Peterman, for whom the little girl was making the collection, was surprised to-day to learn what was being done for her, aad ■aid she did cot desire to go to a home. President Taylor'* Fuuernl. Just at the switch the rails spread and the pasaenger train daehed into the engine of the freight, completely wrecking both enginee and inetantly killing Engineer Cramer, of Qarrett, Ind., of the Expreas train, and Engineer Devine, of Garrett, on the freight, Cramer, as soon as he saw the raila spreading, applied the air brakea and died like a hero at his poet. The train waa bronght to a sudden stop, breaking up the platforms of the express and baggage cars, shaking up the passengers terribly, but none were seriously injured. One report says the awitoh-look had been smaehed after the freight had backed in on the switch with the evident intention ot causing the accident. The fireman of °e«sion that it waa a deliberate piece of the freight waa on the steps of his engine and eaoaped unhurt by jumping. Fireman Baken, of the express, whose home is in Dayton, was seriously, if not fatally, injured Further details confirm the first im- train witcking. A small oak timber was fonnd near the switch with the print of the lock indented upon it. The broken lock could not be found. The railroad impany will at once offer a large reward for the capture of the miscreant. The loss te the railroad company will not fall short of $100,000. Both engines are a total wreck, as were also the express and bag- »ge can and several freight cars. En- gineer Cramer lived for four hours after the aocident, and said that he did not notice that the switch was turned nntil too late to stop his train. Only the heroism of this brave man, who so gallantly stuck to his post in the face of almost certain »ath, saved the lives of many passengers on the express train, of whom there were over 200. The first reports fcent out abont the disaster were very much exaggerated, there being hut two men killed, as above stated, instead of five, as prior accounts asserted. Tmtitt 0., Jaly 27.—Advices received Iran Ultii lad., on the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad, report a disaatrooa wreck that teek place aaar that plaoalaat night. The faailine expresa train leaving Chicago Tneeday with two baggage cars, one express, one smoker, two day coachea and three aleepars, collided with a freight train atanding on a aiding, killing two persona outright, and wounding eeveral here. As the faat train eaet bound waa nearing Albion it waa flagged in order to let a "west-bound freight on the eiding. The train stopped come distance west of the awlteh, and the freight backed in. The fireman of the freight eignaled the pasaenger to come ahead, which she did at full •peed. By the Rope Route. - It was found that the prison fare on the Fourth of July included a liberal allowance of pork to each man, and this was much enjoyed, as it was the only means of celebrating liberty's natal day. The heat was excessive and the prison atmosphere was damp. Two days ltter there was a sudden outbreak of dysentery, 46 men being prostrated on that day alone. From that time the disease has been spreading. It has been greatly aggravated by the rainy and muggy weather of the last week, which keeps the prison in a horrible condion. Fires in four lurge stoves in the corridors are kept burning all the time to make the air dry, but this hardly succeeds. Dr. Lindsley, of New Haven, the Secre- iry, and Dr. Goodwin, of Litchfield, a member of the Board of Health, visited the prison and began an investigation into the cause of the outbreak, which has already resulted in the death of three prisoners, including Henry Kingbam,who was serving a life sentence for killing his wife in ihis city in I860. Haktford, Cons., July 28.—Nearly 100 of the 235 convict* in the Connecticut State prison are stricken down with dysentery and diarrheal disorders, and an epidemic is threatened in that institution. Warden Chamberlain became alarmed at the increasing sickness, which filled the hospital with patients and 50 or 60 more who were obliged to remain in their cells for lack of room, and notified the State Board of Health. Sait Lake, Utah, J lily 29.—John Taylor, President of the Mormon Church, was buried to-day. Numbers viewed the corpse as it lay in the tabernacle, open to public sight. The coffin was made of pine wood and tha dress and fitting! as Taylor had left directions. The speakers dwelt mainly on the certainty that MormonUin is God's work and bound to prevail and fill the earth in spite of the opposition of man. There was no appareut feeling in the remarks. Many people quit the building before the speaking wan- finished. A »on of Taylor's tried to tell the audience how his father had been deceived in the Constitutional Convention ; that he did not know of the adoption of the anti-polygamy resolution, but the management o; the program declined to be interrupted and the young man was forced to quit. Taylor was buried on the highest part or the cemetery beside bis wife, who died last winter, but both will be transferred to a granite vault to be built on the spat, To Develop* it Ntw Paradise.

He found her alone, entered her bouse and with drawn pistol intimidated her. She attempted to scream, but he choked her into silence.

Atoo Beaver Falls, Pa., July 29.—Yesterday the Hnhe and the Hahn fishing clubs, from Beaver Falls, that have been camping on the Beaver river about fifteen miles north of this placy, broke ccvmp and attached the oar containing their camp equipage to a freight train on the Pittsburg &■ Lake Erie railroad; they then boarded the train themselves. After running a few miles, something went wrong and the train stopped. A flagman was sent baok, but neglected his duty and the result was that in a short time afterwacds a freight train which bad been following dashed into the rear of the train containing the fishing o]iibe and mashed the caboose and a freight oar and badly damaged its own locomotive. The members of the fishing club saw the train approaehing at headlong speed and knowing that a collision was inevitable jumped for their lives and rolled down a steep embankment into the river. Many were badly bruised, while their vamp equipage was almost ruined. One brafceman had his leg badly injured. Lapsing, Mich., July 29.—Charles W. Stoughton and wife were tried to-day lor assaulting an old lady, Elizabeth Lee, with darning-needle* laet nigbt. All the parties are colored, and Stoughton claims to be a practicing attorney and presents a very intelligent appearance. The; came from Cassopolia, Miob., last May. The prisoner's testimony is to the effect that Mrs. Lee bewitched them. Soon alter making her aoqnaintanoe their honie was overrun with toads and slimy lizards. Wherever they saw her .they had a great roaring in tbe bead and became deathly sick. Mrs. Stoughton became salivated with greenish slime and they were terribly oppressed in various ways. In their extremity they songbt the Lord in prayer and He told them their only release was in drawing blood from the witch. Beaoe tbe attack. They were convicted and sent to jail for thirty days. —English Spa via Liniment remove# all fj«»d, 8olt, or Cullouwd Lamp* and Blomfrom bom*, Blood Spavin, Carta, gpllnta, Swecney.atlflM, 8p*ain»,«cre and Bwolten Throat, Cough*, etc. 8**1160 by an of one Iwttlo.
