They ha i tha test that the fcuil afforded while there, And JBple opportunity to canvats thesenatorialjquestion unmolested with the president, and lio board bill to pay. Tliey are full of mystery since thair return. The Arthur stalwarts got assurances lrom them that Mi'. Arthur is n can.lidat', while the other class of stalwarts in or that he is not a candidate, and is out of IhJ race. The faotis, Hi'. Arthur is a candidate, but just how fhe flglit ia to be made is not determined as yet. "Mr. Kisselberg, of The Troy Tims?:, who sailed for Europe yesterday, after his conversation with Mr. Warren and Mr. Hliarpo, gave *t. out that President Arthur had taken I imself out of the race, on the advico of his secretary of stater for the reason that he could not got. t'ie place without a youtost, und for htm to nako a light would be u iie«mly. I.inter developments demonstrated that Mr. Kisselbergdid not got the full story. T..e truth iD, tliey mean to push Mr. Arthur.

A bright lad named Max Price, 14 years old, was employed by Cottrell to watch the -boys who weiit into Cohen's place with parcels. Last night Abraham Finkelatein, 13 years Old, was seen coming out of the house. The lad said that he lived at No. 65 Mott street, and had just sold to Cohen some cardigan jackets that he had stolen at Pike street and East "Broad way. Cottroll told to take Ftnkelstein to the station hou-e. The young amateur detective got his prisoner as far as tne steps of the station, wlieu Finkelstein made a desperate attempt to get away, and In the tussle his coat was torn into ribbons. Seeing the lads scuffling on the steps, Sergeant Colgrove ordered them off, and Price cried out: Great Barrihoton, Mass., Dee. 11.— Egremont township'is greatly excited over a strange report which has prevailed for the put three day*, li seeufs that in 1879,' Miss Estelle Newman, aged about SO yeaim, of an old and influential and at one time wealthy family, apparently died aftor * long sickness with nervous spinal oomplaiat. Tlie lunernl was held at the local M. EL church, of which she was a devote.l member and where she had been the organist It. waa largely attended. The deceased wat laid D ont with aJl the finery which wealth could bestow. A widowed mother and sister with many friepdj followed tlie body to the little cemetery near the ouMcirts of the village, where it was laid away. At the time ot Estelle's suppose I death and burial, a young medical student named Worth.IL Wright was home from the Albany medical college. This Dr. Wright graduated in a year or twe and began practising medicine, but ho wai addicted to intemperance and one night at Newton, Ct., he fell into the hands of roughi and was murdered. Itfi now asserted in thC report which causes the excitement, that Wallace Wright, brothef of Dr. Wright; says that the uight Miss Newman was luried he, in company nith hit brother and two other medical students, proceeded to the cemetery and exhumed he) body, filling the grave carefully as before the remains were placed in a sack and witt good care conveyed to the Albaay dissecting room, w here to the horror and surprise ot all the Indy with whom Dr. Wright Lad fot -years hoen well acquainted waa found to be alive, end in a brief period came out of hei trance. She was insane before the tranc* and so she continued. Being tenderly nursed she so far recovered that she was taken U as insane asylum of Schoharie county, N Y., where she is yet alive. Bhe frequently speaks of Dr. Wright, now deceased. In support of this Strang* story a cousii of Miss Newman said that • gentleman o: Hinsdale, of good standing In the com raunlty, stated Monday last that the brothei of the doctor informed hint that the state meat is true and that Worth JVrisftt so in formed him. The two secret agents who Ingratiated themselves into tho favor of the counterfeiters wcro known to them by the names of Tom and Mike. They first bought counterfeit coins on the sidewalk at the Five Points, New York, from Negain Gaetone, of 197 Watts street, a handsome young fellow, w ho was for some time an interpreter in the Tombs police court He was known at Jimbo. Through him the agens met Emil l'asqual Jachet, or, as be called himself, "Matematioa." Then the agents met Carlo Fontano, known as the Dude. 'He lived at No. 2 Jersey stre9t, and it was in his room that the seizure was made. Another of the gang was Charles Fornsni, of No. 93 Park street, employed there as a .butcher's clerk.

Thjii it was ascertained, for tbe first time, that his skull w s fractured and an inquost was ordere 1. The evldenco traded to prove that Mottershead was not a workman, but a demogaguj win had m:\do use of the labor imitation to inflame tho poor agaihst the rich in order to advance tb« cause of social ism. It was shown that on the night before his death he attended a meeting of the executive committee of the "Liberty and Property Defence League," a notorious society which aims at tho extinction of capitalists and landowners, and of which he was a heading member. Whisky and clay pipes were freely supplied to the committCDin n, and tha session was prolonged and uproarious.
