The r 3Ute of the military parade on April 30 wffl be from Wall street up Broadway to Waveriy place, to Fifth avenue, to Fourteenth street, to Fourth avenue, to Seventeenth street, to Fifth avenue, to Fifty-ninth street.

A Fierce Gale Raging Along Trenton, N. J., April y.—The legislature expects to adjourn sine die on Friday. The following bills were passed: Legislating out of office Janitor Brown, and placing the state house in the hands of a commission; validating the remaining sections of the Wertz liquor law in case any of the provisions shall be declared unconstitutional; and giving the governor the appointment of trustees of the State Reform School for Boys. from Oklahoma. apolis Bank. the Southern Coast.

NORFOLK AGAIN UNDER WATER "NO Only a Little More Than HUlf the Laud The acquittal of Emerson is applauded by a great many men who only a few days age expressed their convictiop of his guilt of the crime of murder. The only witnesses to the shooting were associates of or sympathizers with the man who was killed, anil it was feared by Emerson's friends that the hard swearing of those vicious characters would more than offset the prisoner's steadfast contention that he had been robbed and fired the shots in defense of l'4s life, In the course of the trial the fact was elicited beyond doubt that Robinson, the man Emerson killed, had attacked the Missour.an in a cab, beating him about the head and robbing him of his money. Robinson then jumped from the vehicle and attempted to escape, but was followed by Emerson. A crowd surrounded Emerson in a menacing manner, obviously seeking to ever Robinson's retreat. Emerson, believing his life in danger, fired into the mob, fatally wounding Robinson and seriously injuring another man. Robinson sustained the alias of "Brummagem Bdl," and was known to the police as well as to his associates as a desperate ruffian. Although the case presented to the jury was in most respects favorable to Emerson, there is no doubt that his neck was saved by the evidence of Consul General Waller, who testified to the prisoner's excellent character and respectable connections.

Washington, April 17.—A letter has been received here from Lieut. John M. Carson, Jr., Fifth United States cavalry, who has been serving in Oklahoma *»ith his regiment for the past four years. This young officer has rid-Ion over nearly every section of Oklahoma. Being familiar with its topography, climate and resources, and being free from all prejudice his observations are specially valuable Hud will be found interesting to those who are watching events in Oklahoma. Lieut. Carson's letter is dated at Fort Reno, April 8, to which point he had just returned from a scout along the Canadian river. Lieut. Car- Minneapolis, Minn., April 17.—James Henry and Fred Douglass shortly after noon yesterday strolled into the State bank, of Minneapolis. One carried a valise. It being the noon hour, there were only two men in the bank—O. E. Nagle, assistant cashier, and A. E. Blomquist, corresponding clerk. The men faced the small windows and thrust revolvers in the faces of the bank employes. Naghj supposed the man at the window was after change and was completely off his guard. An instant later the second man jumped over the railing and grabbed up all the money on the counter, $4,000 in bills, and thrust it into his valise. Baltimore, April 17.—The Sun's special from Norfolk, Va., says: Another northeast gale is raging here, the velocity of the wind being sixty miles on the coast and forty-five hem The water banked up in the harbor and flooded the wharves and many of the streets near the river, doing much damage. The government wires are down again all along the coast and nothing can be heard from that section. But the people that have visited the National Auction Bargain Company's Store and examined the prices that the goods are sold at, assert that they must be stolen, as no one can name prices anywhere near theirs. But we say that we do not steal our goods, but get them either through the Auction House or from bankrupt concerns, regardless of cost of production, and that our system of selling (n a small but regular percentage of profit, no matter whether the goods cost us one-tenth or three-fourths of their market val ue, is responsible lor the unheard of price of some of oui goods. Consequently the buyer can conscientiously buy our goods, evenif he gets them for almost nothing, as they are bought in a legitimate way, howevernew the feature may be. Do as other's are doing—daily, buy your goods of us, and save your money. Remember the place! Additional stands, placed around three sides of union square, will greatly Increase the number of persons to whom the parade will be visible. The householders up town are charging enormous prices for windows. The vacant building on Fifth avenue and Fifteenth ■ reet is renting for $75 a window on the firstfloor, $90 fi r the second and $2S for the third. It is almost impoebible to sec re desirable windows even at the above figures. PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE. The steamer Occomac broke her shaft yesterday morning two miles from Smithfield and went ashore in the storm. She has a large number of passengers on board, among them a theatrical company. There is no communication with Cape Charles City. A Steamer and Passengers in Peril. Bills Fnvorabljr Considered—Clearing the Burlington, Vt., April 17.—At the meeting of the Vermont commissioners to the Washington centennial celebration arrangements were completed for the representation of the entire militia force of the State, and a sufficient sum was pledged to pay the expenses of the excursion to New York. Calendar of Special Orders. Haiirisburo, April 17.—The house began work at once on the calendar, upon which there is a large number ot special ordera The bill, an act authorizing and directing the bear 1 of revenue commissioners of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania to settle with and refund to the several counties of the commonwealth on horses and cattle lor the years 1878 and 187!D, was passed to third reading. The bill granting annuity of $2.10 to Peter Nickel, of Cumberland county, Company B, Thirty-sixth regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers, wag passed finally; also bill enabling banks of commonwealth to become associations for the purpos* of banking under the United States laws. The senate bill, further supplement to an act entitled "An act regulating boroughs," approved the 3d day of April, 1851, authorizing the corporate authorities to levy and collect a license tax on hacks, carriages and other vehicles carrying persons or property for pay, was taken up on second reading as a sj ecial order. It was passed to Ct third reading. son soys Before either of the surprised bank employes could make a move the valise was thrown over the railing to the man's confederate. At that moment Charles Hallerman, of the Pabst Brewing company, entered for the purpose of making a deposit. When Douglass saw him he was forced to turn and leave Nagle uncovered. While Douglass was throwing Hailerman down on the floor Nagle turned and ran to the safe to get his revolver. Quick as a flash Douglass turned and fired twice. Neither shot told, and the robbers saw the game was up. "I fear that neither tro Dps nor United States courts will prevent bloodshed in the settlement o( Oklahoma. The old boomers have rateel a wind that promises to become a whirlwind, and anticipating that this cannot be controlled are anxious about their chances for securing land. The country has been so tremendously boomed by certain men and newspapers and people have thereby bedn so far misled by inaccurate statements that comparatively few have any idea of what Oklahoma roally is—its extont, character of 1 md, climate or resources. Perhaps five-sixths of the people regard Oklahoma as a near approach to the Garden of Eden, where it is simply necessary to cast seed over the ground in order to reap bountiful crops, and that they can sit under vines and fig trees, so to speak, in the enjoyment of an equable and magnificent climate. A residence of twe.ve months in Oklahoma will completely dispel this illusion, do troy many carelully nursed hopes and wipe out many small fortunes, especially should the settlers experience one of our cold winters, followed by a long, dry, hot summer, such as we had in 1885 and 1880.

The following was the score: New York-Baltimore Game Postponed. William O'Brien's Treatment, London, April 17.—The report of the inspector appointed to inquire into the treatment of Mr. William O'Brien in Clonmel prison shows that the statements of the governor and warders of the prison and that of Mr. O'Brien are diametrically opposite. Mr. O'Brien has declared that he fainted under the ordeal of resisting the enforcement of the governor's order to in the uniform of the prison, while the governor and the warders assert that n D undue violence was used upon any occasion. Mr. O'Brien declares that he not only fainted once but twice, and that the warders were obliged to givo him water to revive him. The warders, on the other hand, deny this declaration in detail.

By mistake he took the door that led to the president's room. Blomquist, who was now frea, shot at the fleeing robber, but missed. Douglass found the outside door of the president's room locked. Without hesitation ho at once jumped through the window, his smoking revolver in one hand and the valise in the other. Several citizens had been attracted to the spot by the noise and there was an exciting chase as the robber flow down Third street to an alley. Here he turned in and was finally caught with his plunder. Douglass was taken to the central station. In the mean time other citizens were in hot pursuit of Henry. Patrolman John Maloney finally overhauled him. During his flight he had thrown away his hat and put on a cap. He was taken to the central station, but kept away from his "pal." One of the robbers, Douglass, is only 18 years old and has served as bartender in various saloons in the city. Hfenry is 22 years old and is a restaurant waiter. Ho has a bad reputation.

As the amount of land to be opened for settlement is limited to about i,800,000 acres the chances for getting any of it will vary inversely with the number of people who will want it. Deluded by the Outcry. London, April 17.—An English student of Baliiol college, Oxford, has been arrested at Donegal for supplying the besieged tenants with fi.od. He was handcuffed and taken to jail with every show of ignomy the police were capable of exhibiting.

Capt John Marshall and the crew of the life saving station think the passengers and crew may have been taken off, as tbe steamer lay by tbe apparently disabled craft some time. The life saving men were all on the lookout during the night, as the wind was blowing so hard from the east that fears were entertained that the vessel might strand.

Adam Gwin, a repairer at the Occidental flour mills, says ne was halted Monday night by two men, who, putting pistols to his head, made him lead them to the mill and give them the keys of the safe. They couldn't open the safe, however, and one of them said: "It's no use, Jack; I can't open it" "What shall we do?" asked the other. "The old boomers fully realize this and see the chances for securing a piece of good land daily lessening. Of the 1,800,000 acres included in the president's proclamation not more than 1,000,000 are what can be properly designated as good farm land. A knowledge of these facts is producing a state of alarm among the old boomers and has made some of them desperate. They are forming, I hear, for mutual protection and to keep off • outsiders.' This is what may lead to bloodshed, for there will very probably bo men among the 'outsiders' just as determined and just as well prepared to take care of themselves as the old agitators."

Frank Clarke, the 25-year-old son of the banker, was the only one in the pla"e at the time. One of the strangers took a position at the counter door and the other, stepping up to the wicket, pushed a revolver into the face of young Clarke and demanded the money. Clarke quickly recovered from his astonishment. He raised himself upon a stool, seized the pistol and, turning it aside, lunged forward with the other hand to grasp the robber by the throat. Frank lustily called for help while holding his assailant, but no one appeared. The would-be robber tore himself loose and the pair decamped. Mr. Clarke, soon returning, found his son prostrated from the exciting struggle, but the money was safe. The police were at once notified, but no trace of the men has been found Mr. Clarke says they visited the office at 10 o'clock in the forenoon inquiring qbout exchange, but left after a scrutiny of the place.
