The followers of Judge Haven on every side denounce the prosecution, and brand the whole affair as an infamous attempt -to t|Drow the coming election into the flands of the Democrats. This in turn is denied by the Judge Wilkes following, who say that the others are trying to thwart the ends of justico and set the guilty free. 'Squire Wilkes said: "'Squire Havens' assertions that I believe Rockwell guilty until he can clear himself is false.

Dan Gardner, a former resident of Pittsburg, but recently a resident of this city, ihot his wife and then committed suicide by ihooting himself through the head. The amily consisted of Gardner, his wife, whom te married five years ago, a llttlo son 4 years Id, and two girls named Lizzie Collins and frankie Reynolds. The news of the murler and suicide rapidly spread throughout che city and created a profound sensation. Upon an examination It was found that the ball had entered Gardner's brain and little could be done to stop the flow of blood, with which his life was slowly ebbing away. The wife may recover, but it is doubtful. The girls say they know of no cause for the deed, as Mr. and Mrs. Gardner have always lived peacefully together, and they have never noticed any trouble between them. At 9 p. M. Gardner was still alive but in an unenn - scious condition, with a hope of recovery. Mrs. Gardner, though in a pecarious condition, was also alive, but too weak to make any statement of the affair. Gardner for several years was clerk of the police court in this city, but has been a bartender lately. He was well known in sporting circles and formerly resided in Pittsburg. the Great Stakes. Cannot Oapport Blaine. . , N«w York, Sept. 25. —Mr. W. H. Nichols, president of the Brooklyn Yonng Republican dab, has formally tendered his res illation of that office and urged an early acceptance of the same. He gives :as his reason for this step that he cannot indorse the action taken by the club in declaring for Blaine and Logan and feels that tlie club has made a fatal mistake. Mr. Nichols alio gives the names of several members of the club who will resign forthwith, among them three officers and a member of the executive committee.

Early, based upon an editorial paragraph In a morning paper, in which he says: I never have found much reason to trust a man who oponiy denies the religion in which lie was educated. Amongst the actions upon which our religion lays maledictions are the denial of our Lord and making and loving Hjx. That Mr. Blaine was brought up by a Catholic mother is well known, and equally well known is it that he has formally denied the Catholic faith and gotten a certificate of his membership of a Congregationaliat church from its pastor. Whilst at Augu-ita, Maine, during the latter part of last month, a weekly newspaper of that city, in a then current numb-T, published evidence given under oath by witnesses highly considered for intelligence, conscientiousness and integrity, proving beyon I reasonable question, that in 1875, while chairman of the Maine Republican state central committee, James G. Blaine, now Republican nominee for the presidency, caused to be printed and secretly circulated, where it was expected to do the most good to that party, a circular addressed: "To Protestant Democrats of Maine," and signed "Pro'.estant Democrat," andknewn as "The Madigan circular," in which he appeals to them, and the people of Maine generally, against "the macinations of the Catholic hierarchy, and the secret society of Jesuits," as "planning to securo political power through congress for the destruction of our common schools and thus depriving the poor of their only means of education," The circular states That "already they have four United States senators; one of whom was electe.l by tho use of $100,000 of Jesuit money," and that when tliero was a threat of investigation "be ro- Mi ;ne l rather than risk any exposure of the secrets of his o: der" (the circular said he was a "Luy member of the secret society of the Jesuits"). Whether he far over-estimated the dense ignoranoe and credulity of those whom the gigantic falsehoods of this circular were designed to dupe is uncertain, but there can be no doubt of the devilishnuss of Its appeal to religious bigotry and fanaticism to secure a miserable party for those who twenty years before had made a vile investment in Know-Nothingism for a similiar purpose. Every statement in that circular is a falsehood, directly or by implication. Thus.) facts ought to be knowu tc every citizen duty requires him to vote for president of the United States at t'ie approaching election. Lab Vkoas, V. M.. Sept 25.—The history of bank robbing in the west does not furnish the parallel for the daring attempt to captais the safe of the First National bank it this place. The digging of a tunnel sixty feet long, upon which operations were prosecuted three mouths is the novel feature that Is calculated to bring tears to the eves of Col James' old partners, Bob Ford ana Diuc Liddoll. On Monday morning tho bank telijr experienced difficulty in opening the doors of the vault, caused by the settling of the foundation. The suspicions of the ofnployes were aroused and a sounding of the floor showed a hollow below the vault George J. Dinkel, the vice-president, accompanied by tho tolfcr, wont Into a vacant storehouse three doors east of the bank. The cellar of this room was pxplored and the mouth of the tunnel pointing in the direction of tho bank discovered. The bank that night placed a strong guard near the vault The next morning at 1 o'clock sounds of working were heard beneath the vault floor, and supposing tho robbers were caged, the alarm was raised, and tho mouth of th1 tunnel was patrolled. Iiitensi excitement prevailed during the night without develoi-.nent, but none dared to eutor tho dark tuunei. Philadelphia, Sept 25.—In Philip street near Second street, stands the humble hom6 of Mrs. Elizabeth Fye, a German widow with seven children. Rumors have been ciroclated in the neighborhood that the house is haunted. Mrs. Fye was called upon and asked about the alleged ghostly visitor. "I know what I have seeu," she said, "but I will not tell you, and I know what I said to it, but I wont tell you that" New York, Sept. 95.—The annonnsoment that Hon. Horatio Seymour had been persuaded to consent to go to Ohio and speak for Cleveland is much talked of among the politicians. It is generally thought that Mr. Seymour's health is so poor that it would be impossible for him to take an active part in the campaign, but this was denied by persons at headquarters, who assortod that he is going to Ohio beyond a doubt.

Nkw York, Sept. 25.—Only half a dosen spectators were present at the hearing of the fighting Telephone companies in the United States circuit court. Ex-Senator Roscoe Conkling was. as usual, very late in putting in an appearance for his clients: Judge Wallace was almost hidden from view by the enormous mechanical devices arranged on top of his desk. The suit is brought by the Bell Telephone against the People's Telephone company. Mr. Storrow, as counsel for the complainants, began the third day of his argument in a voice as clear as a May morning. In the course of his renytrks ho alluded to the testimony of a man named Kuhney, who had been called . by the complainant.Early in the morning a man darto:l froqj the tunnel, but was shot and killed by a Mexican. He was identified as Jamos Pearson, n well-t D do stone mason, who had lived 1 ere four years and had S3 000 oti deposit ill the bank. Pearson helped to bui.d the van!! four years ago. and for this i\v iDu was probably hired for the present job. The floors of the bank and the drug store adjoining were taken up and tlio tunnel explored, but the others of the gang could not be found. The tunnel was sixty feet long and dnCj through twelve feet of ooncretc masonry. A large chamber was dug under the vault and two jack-screws which had bean used in raising the floor wore found, together with tools, pnmsions and water. Unquestionably there were experienced robbers at the bottom of the affair. Even had the robbers entered the vault, only an experienced cracksman could have manipulated the safe, as it is supplied with an improved time-lock. The officers aro now working on a strong clue. There la no doubt that a strong gang of desperate villains formed the party, but the alarm was raised too soon, when only Pe«r-sou was in tho hole. Ford and Liddell's saloon is on the same streot, ten doors east-of the bank, and the citizens complain of  hard gang which hangs around the dive. This gang is partially suspected, and the vigilantes of 1879 are now organizing to force Ford and Liddell to leave town. 38JECTINC TO PAUPER LABOR Replete with new, bright, and sparkling music, rich and elaborate costumes, magoiflcent loenerr.

Logan In Ohio. Washington. Sept. 25 —Thoro is a prospect of seri_Dus trouble In tjys city between the resident la I Jurors and a gang of Italian and .Sclav laborers imported from New York by Thomas McCann, of that city, who has the contract tor $800,000 or $400,000 worth of sewer construction in this district. The laborers here, principally colored men, have been receiving $1.50 per day, and it is said by them that the imported laborers are only to be paid seventy-five and ninety cents per day. A gang of 300 of the foreigners is encamped in Q&le's woods, just outside the city limits, and is employed on the boundary sewer. Robert C. Hewitt, representing the resident laborers, and Win. H. Mohler, • contractor of this city, called on the district commissioners to see if auything could be lone to prevent the importation of foreign, low-priced laborers. They informed the commissioners that if foreign laborers were allbwed to oome here and crowd out the Washington laborers the district would be obliged to support the latter this winter as paujiers. Mr. Mohler, who was a bidder for the sewer contracts, and whose bids were next to the lowest, sail that the district contractors in making their estimates of the cost of work had based them un the current rate of laborers' wages the district, and that they thought it unfair that a foreign bidder, who had evidently based his estimates for wages on the rate paid to these imported laborers should be allowed to thom. A picnic of colored laborers is to be held on Monduy next in Gale'u Wood, where the foreigners are encamped, and trouble is anticipated. OF THIRTY YOUNO. FRESH VOICES. THEIR OWN ORCHESTRA, AND Newark, O., Sept. 25.—The announcement that Gen. Logan would pass through her • ou his way east, drew an immense crowd to the depot to greet him. The train urrived at 2:10 p. 1L, and Gen. Logan made his appearance on the platform and was greeted with great applause. The most of the time was taken up in handshaking, it being almost impossible for him to make a speech. "What do the people who are now in the room complain of?"

New Wni.EANH, Sept 25.—The delegates who bolted tho nomination of Kellogg indorsed Gay, the Democratic candidate. The bolters are the better class of negroes, and will have great influence on the election. "Now, Mrs. Fyo," said the reporter, who was tolerably well informed as to what she complained to have experienced, "is it not true that you have said that you were awakened by a ghost in your room, which placed its hands upon your breast and to which yoC talked and which talked to you?" "He is your liar) He is your liar!" cried Mr. Storrow, striking the desk before him with his fist OF THE Wyoming Comity Agricultural Society, After this outburst of feeling Mr. Storrow seemed to feel better and continued his argument with renewed vigor.

Ottawa, Sept. 25.—The difficulty be tween the French fishermen, along the north shore of Newfoundland and the fishermen of the other part of the island evident); remains as far from settlement as ever. Advices from Newfoundland state that e French man-of-war some time since visited Ouirpon harbor, which is claimed by tht Frenchmen, where two fishing schooners be longing to British subjects of the island hail takou shelter from a violent storm raging at the time. Without a word of warning thf man-of-war steamed up to the vessels, tripped their anchors and allowed them to drift on a rocky coast. After she had oompleted her cowardly and inhuman work, the ntanof-war steamed away, leaving the sufferers at the mercy of the rocks and gale that wa blowing at the time. The funeral of Hon.

B5.—Senator Sherman in response to an invitation of largo numbers of business men to address them on the i.sum of the duy, spoke at Comstoek's opera house. He was escorted to the opera house by the Blaine and Logan glee club, 100 strong. On his entrance to the house was greeted with great applause, and when he took a seat on the stage the immense audience made the house tremble with their proli liged chP' rs and stamping. He was introduced by Hon. ex-Mayor G. G. Collins. Senator Sherman said ho received the invitation of the business men with great satisfaction, as It was the first sijn he had seen iu the canvass of business men's interest in the contest, which thuii f r had been a disgrace to the nation, and ii. such a character that it could not be discussed at the fireside. It had simply been a swamp of tilth and a rehash of the Mulligan Utter*. Ho called attention to the fact that one section of the country was bound to control tho vote of the south. He read an extract from a letter by Mr. Carlisle, saying the 163 electoral votes in the south would be cast for Mr. Cleveland, notwithstanding West Virginia, Florida and Louisiana wero in doubt. West Virginia mbs rich in undeveloped resources, and favored protection, as did also Louisiana, which hud almost a monopoly in sugar culture, but Mr. Carlise says they are solid for Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Sherman held, on the contrary, that, with a fair vote, oue-lialt of . he south would go Republican, if there was a fair election. It was evidently the intention of the robbers to do their work during tho next fow days, as the bank receives a large remittance and coin at about this .time each month from the east, and from the treasurer of the Atchison, Topeaka and Santa Fe railroad, which pays its employees over the entire length of its line by pay checks. The bank is the New Mexican depository for railroad moneys and take* up the checks cashed by merchants and bankers in small towns. It has branches ii- Albuquerque, the terminus of tho AtlanlU and Pacitic railroad, whose depository it is, and also in El Paso, which acts in a similar capacity tot the Mexican Central, Southern Pacific and Texas and Pacific railway. All the business of these concerns is done through the bank here, which frequently has $50,000 to $100,000 of railroad money on "hand besides its regular deposits. The gang contemplating tho robbery were undoubtedly aware of this fact. "ROOMS TO LET." SECOND DAY—Thpksdat, t:00 P. Iff. That Iibiiocent Inscription Is tbe Insurance Men In Session.

Brooklyn, Sept. 25.—The neighborhood of South Fourth streot lias been agitated since Monday last about the mysterious disappearance of a married woman, which has not yet been cleared up. On Monday two respectably-dressed young women attracted a crowd of some 2U0 or 300 people outside No. 354 South Fourth street by the statement that their married sistir, whoso name was Bender, had gone into tbe house two hours before to look at some apartments and had not returned. The house lias not the best reputation, is dilapidated, altd tenanted by white and colored people. A card bey-1 ing the legend, "Floor to Let," was affixed to tho wail, and Mrs. Bender had entered to look at the floor, prepared to pay a mouth's rent in. ad vance if it suited her.

"That lady, sir, is my wife, and die is a decent woman," retorted Bender, lending a clenched list straight in the face.

Nkw Haven, Ct., 8ept. 25.—A letter from Middletown says that a person answering to tho description that William Berry gives of the young man who passed himself olT as Emmons Blaine and showfed him how to play poker, was arrested at Mid dletowu and released shortly afterward. The young man has evidently been doing New England with Mr. Blaine's Pftrty and when tho travelling politicians reached New York he must have traveled off on his own account, and gone to smaller towns where he met with worse luck. Had the Middletown authorities retained the youthful and skilled bunco man intlioir (ustody, it might have given Mr. Berry a chance to recover some of his money, or at least to have had the swindler punished. It is believed, though. Mr. Berry would prefer that his gambling episode should be allowed to rest, and no further scandal bo croated.

Brief speeches were made by Mr. Blaine, Hon. W. A. Tenney. of Brooklyn, and others. The run from New York was made in good season.

A large crowd was also addressed at Fort Plain. At Syracuse, which was reached at 8 o'clock, another large crowd had gathered. The city was handsomely decorated.
