GENERAL WILLIANS C. WICKHAM, Second Vice-President and General Manager of the Chesapeake and Ohio, is the foremost Republican politician of Virginia: He has a pile of harassing business always on his shoulders, and doesn't often turn aside to deal in pollties, but when he attends a Convention he is a central figure. Notwithstanding he is a Republican, he is a high-toned Virginia gentleman of the oid school. THE most talkative man in Huntington, W.

and one of the best posted and most popalar, is General J. B. Breslin, Ticket Agent of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Chief Clerk in Division Superintendent Mallory's office. He caa do more work and crack more jokes at the mme time than any man in the country. Bright, and urbane, accommodating, and full of life energy, Breslin is one of the noted characters of the Ohio Valley.

MR. J. F. McCLURE, late General Passenger and Ticket Agent of the Detroit, Grand Haven and Milwaukee Railroad, who resigned a short time ago, owing to some trouble with one of his subordinates, is reported to have been appointed Assistant General Passenger Agent of the Great Western of Canada: As the Detroit, Grand Hayen and Milwaukee is managed by the Great Western the new appointment would indteate a complete vindication of Mr. McUlure's course.

A DISPATCH from Leadville says: The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad Company- executed: its coup d'etat last Saturday, while mass-meeting of citizens was in progress to take action, protesting against the road entering the eity.

Sterling, Paris, Maysville, Portsmouth, Ashland, Catlettsburg and other towns on the Ohio River. General Echols is a lawyer by profession, but is a railroad man of large experience. He is one of the Hancockand English Electors for Virginia.

THAT Louisville paper has it again, bad. In ep item on the Cincinnati Southern it says: "The census is destroying some of Cincinnati's 10usions, and that city 18 coming to admit that Louisvilles a formidable rival." Well, Aperbaps Cincinnati "is coming' to it will be a thousand years "Tis not Louisville we fear, but when the Louisville and Nashville system "draws sword" and sweeps the Southern, the Ohio and Missis-ippi and a score or two of roads out el existence then will we fear fearfully. ARTHUR ELLIOTT, well and favorably known as an of Mr. E. F.

Fuller, DiVision Freight Agent of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and 8t. Louis Railroad, has resigned to Recept a more prominent position in the Freight Department of the Cleveland, Columbas, pati, Cincinnati and Indianapolis and CincinHamilton and Dayion Rallroads. Mr. Billott is thoroughly posted in the freight business and will valuable acquisi Lion to the above lines. He will be succeeded Fuller's office by Mr.

W. R. Ward, of Miamiville, Ohio. THE Omaha Herald says: "Late news from General-Manager Clark is most assuring. It is said that he looks and feels as well as ever, and home it is inidst expected that he will soon be in the again.

But let S. E. O. have a care, It will never do for him to be again charged with tris old labors and responsibilities, if we understand his case and condition as well as we think we do. Mr.

guard against what might prove a fatal mistake, A very general and supervisory d1- the great railroads, leaving all details to his able lieutenants, is the true position for B. H. H. Clark to ocoupy." MR. C.

TOWNSEND, General Passenger Agent of the Wabash, St. Louis and Pacino Road, announces the opening of a new line to the Pacific Const via Denver. This line was opened several years ago, but remained so for short time only, on account of conflicting interests. The negotiations that have been pending during the past few months have been successful, and tickets are for sale from St. Louis, Hannibal, Quiney, Kansas City and are Denver being to the for Pacifio Coast.

Arrangements made the inauguration of a new line of sleepers from St. Louis to Ogden via Denver and Cheyenne. MR. JOHN IVINSON, Master Mechanic of the Cincinnati Southern, has been overhauling a number of the engines of that line, and among them No. 21.

He has made such changes in her valves as enables her to hant two additional cars and will do the same work she did prior to change -two notches cut back on the quadrant. Yesterday, with Engineer McComb the throttle, she made up seven minutes with the express train between Somerset and Crittenden. Mr. Ivinson is one of our most competent railroad mechanics and is making valuable improvements in the motive power of the Southern. RAILROAD engineers invariably get their full shore of blame for accidents.

It is nothing more than justice, therefore, to point out a case where cool and quick decision by an engineer prevented what might have been terrible disaster with sad loss of life. A New York train for Long Branch was almost entering upon the draw of the Newark Bay Bridge that yesterday morning, when the engineer saw the draw was not locked. He stopped the train so quickly that several cars were thrown from the track, and one passenger was painfully bruised. Many lives were probably saved, and we can all afford to salute the man who had the courage of quickness, and did it in an instunt of time. -New York Tribune COTONEL JOHN DURAND, a gentleman well known in Ohio and in railroad cireles throughout the United States, is now residing with his family in Roonester, New York.

His many friends in this State know he has two noble boys of rare promise, who are pursuing their studies at Yale College. One of his sons. H. S. Durand, aged nineteen, Is a member of the Junior class, and has contributed to the Yale Literary Magazine a beautiful poem entitled "Evening and Morning." It is full of beauty, and is evidence of the genius and poetic talent of the young author.

May he be spared to the literary world and to his honored parents is the prager of many friends in the Buckeye State. WHILE many railroad officers put on a good deal of style, Mr. W. M. S.

Dunn, Engineer and Superintendent of the Chesapeake and Ohio, is entirely unassuming and as modest as a woman. He is at his post early and late; hasn't a lazy bone in his body; has been a railroader ever since 1854, and holds his present position by reason of his ability and faithful service. Since the death of General St. John, who was the Consulting Engineer of the Company, Mr. Dunn has had to give much of his time to the of engineering and construction of the extension the Chesapeake and Ohio Road from Huntington to the Big Sandy River, where it connects with the Elizabethtown, Lexington and Big Sand Railroad.

The Division Superintendents under Mr. Dunn are. Captain J. E. Malloy, of Huntington, and Mr.

S. T. Smith, of Stanton- -both excellent railroad men. THE Boston Advertiser buries the Billerien and Bedford Railroad as follows: This very narrow-gauge railroad, which was opened November 28, 1877, is now running successfully through the columns of the railroad papers of the country, but it has not been running any-where else for over two years. When it was opened its gauge was two feet, which one would think WAS about narrow enough for practical purposes, but since its rails were taken up and shipped to Maine, and the road ceased to exist, the gauge has been contracted to "ten inches." At the same time we learn that "the trains run at the rate of twenty mites an hour with perfect safety." Its brief and simple annals are 88 follows: Chartered in 1876; opened November 28, 1877.

Personal property sold in bankruptcy June 6, 1878, Road offered for $20.000. Its total liabilities September 30, 1877, were $39.663 21. were taken up and shipped to Maine for the use of the Sandy River Railroad. THE Pittsburg Commircial-Gazette, says: It is now proposed to build railroad from this city to Rochester, N. thus making almost an air line connection with Lake Ontario.

At the recent session of the Legislature of New York an act was. passed authorizing the sale of the Genesee Valley Canal to any Company paying 8100 per mile for it from the City of Rochester the State line, a distance of about one hundred and fourteen miles, said Company guaranteeing the building of a railroad along its line within two years from the organization of the same. A meeting of about twenty of the prominent citizens of New York met in Olean on Wednesday of last week and organized a Company for the purpose of accepting the provisions of the act of assembly in this case provided. The capital stock was fixed at 11,000 shares at $100 per share, which was all subscribed and 10 per cent. paid in.

A Company was organized in Bedford, a short time ago, to build a railroad from the A. V. Railroad in Jefferson County to the State line. near Miligrove, and thence to Wellsville, on the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad, thus making the connecting link. THE General Passenger Agents of the Western roads will hold another meeting in Chicago to-morrow to investigate charges against certain lines accused of having violated the agreement regarding the maintenance of aniform rates to the Knights Templar Conclave in Chicago.

The Indianapolis and St. Louis Ratiroad, it is claimed, has made a contract to carry a large party. from St. Louis to Chicago at $5 each for the round trip, while the agreed rate is $8 70. A meeting was held last Saturday to look into the matter, I but Mr.

Kendrick, the General Pessenger Agent of the Indianapolis and St. Louis, had departed for the West to be out of the inquisitors' reach. Consequently nothing could be done, and action was deferred until to-morrow. There is considerable pervousness evinced in passenger circles regarding the Knights Templar rates, and it is feared that a general scramble for business will yet result. The larger roads are very anxious to stick to the agreed rates, as they will in any event get all the business they can take care of, but the smaller roads, which are not as well favored, will give special rates to large parties if they find an work to opportunity these to do within so, and it will be bard keep the truces.

IT has for some time past been generally understood that the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad was controlled by the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company. In fact, it was officially announced more than six months ago that the Louisville and Nashville had secured, through Mr. Newcomb, a majority of the stock of this road, and as far as known the Louisville and Nashville managers have direoted and shaped the policy of this corporation ever since. Yet, judging by a communication sent to the Chicago Tribune by President R. 8.

Veech, of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad, it would seem that every body WaS wrong, and that the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago 1a not controlled nor owned by the Louisville and Nashville. Mr. Veech says: "As it is quite common to confound this Company with the Louisvitle and Nashville, I take this opportunity to ask you to kindly state to the general publio that our relations with that organization are no more than those ordinarily existing among all railroads. We are separate in organization, have no offices in common, own no part of the stock of the Louisville and Nashville, or it of our stock. We have neither any bonded or floating indebtedness at the present time, but propose to issue at an early day $3.000,000, to be sold to the stockholders at 20 per cent.

of their par value, each stockholder to be entitled to a like amount of bonds to the amount of stock held by him, the proceeds of the sale of these bouds to be used to put the road in first-rate condition and to equip it."

RUSHVILLE, July 21. -Milton Township, this county, voted against appropriating $4,000 yesterday to the proposed Newcastle and Rushville Railroad, by a majority of 81 votes but Rushville Washington Townships having voted $19,000 to aid in the construction of the road, work will commence at once. A Suit Against an Express Company, ST. LOUIS, July 21.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER, I respectfully ask a portion of your space for an effort to arouse the co-operation, which should be Intelligent, cordial, and active, of a very large body of our citizens in a matter gravely affecting their business interests, and the standing and progress of our city during the next ten years. I allude to the collection of statistics showPing our "productive industries" for the year ending June 1, 1880.

It required the services of about one hundred gentlemen some two weeks (two hundred weeks' work) to enumerate our population. With five agents only, I am expected to traverse every inch of the same territory twice within eight weeks. This work can not be fully and fairly accomplished unless our producers carefully study the schedules that will be left with them, promptly fill them out and hold them in readiness for. the agent on his second round. I have already found that two general misThe apprehensions exist in relation to this subject.

True, you charge trifle for your product, but -if your circulation were gratuitous and your venture a losing one, if you could not conscientiously affirm that the yearly value of your product is below $500, we should be compelled to insist upon your fling a schedule. But, after all, it seems to me that the question for each producer to ask himself is this: Has my establishment increased the wealth of the country during the year ending June 1, is 1880, to the of $500 or more? If yea, extent necessary for me to make a return; 11 nay.

none is required. It matters not to whom this increasement of wealth may accrue whether to the head of the establishment, to his sum creditors, of or to his employes; if it reach the $500 that fact alone determines whether he should All out a schedule or not. Yours respectfully, HENRY COLE, Chief Special Agent, BOBBING FOR BONDS. The Sinking Fund Trustees Hold other Session of the "Inquisition." The Sinking Fund Trustees held another session yesterday afternoon to delve still further into the alleged crookedness of Mr. Silas W.

Hoffman in his capacity as City Auditor. All the members of the Board were present. Mr. Dexter conducted the examination. The only witnesses examined were William Cramsey, Chief Clerk in the Auditor's office during Hoffman's administration, and Mr.

Harry D. Blackburn, the City Paymaster, and connected with City Treasurer Knorr's office. Mr. Cramsey testifled in substance as follows: Mr. Dexter showed him the checkbook and asked him which checks were drawn by him.

He replied Nos. 6, 8, 9, 12, No. 17, in favor A. W. Goodman, for the 16,17, 18, 25 and 86.

He then referred to check and purchase asked of him if Marietta and could Cincinnati bonds, remember. their numbers. Witness said: I never saved a bond unless it was canceled. I drew an order for the bond in question and turned it over to the Auditor. He always kept the bonds in the safe.

As regards the destruction of bonds, remembered but one case, that of Southern Railroad bonds. I frequently went to the safe; there were a good many bonds in there at different times; think all the Cumminsville bonds were kept in there; I can't say that I ever missed any bonds from there. No, I do not know who W. H. Bristol is: I only know of there being a man by that name by seeing it on the stub.

recollect nothing about the bonds 8" (City Work-house bonds), except that I think the bank redeemed them. I am not sure. It was our practice to have all our bonds canceledat least all that passed through my hands. don't think I ever canceled any city bonds proper. Here Mr.

Dexter invited witness to look the book containing bond No. 36. Witness said he did not remember any thing particular about them. I had charge of the books in the Auditor's office, also the accounts. Bond April 12, 1877, was here referred to.

Witness said: "I think there was a mistake in Auditor Tatem's time- -a mere clerical error. He entered up one more bounty bond than he recelved. He had seventy-flve, but he entered up seventy-six. I have no further recollection of it. I remember it by seeing the bond-sheet.

One or two of us went over the record. This was before the bond was paid. It was presented by the bank, and I claimed that the proper amount was issued. I referred it Tatem at the time. I found that there was one more entered than there should have been.

I do not remember the prices paid for these bonds Dexter perhaps." Here Mr. called for the sixteenth, seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth and twenty-fourth annual reports of the Auditor's office. They being produced, witness' attention was called to the entry of bounty bonds, which showed that there were thirtyeight numbers given in 1870. He said he remembered nothing of this entry. think I counted up when he had one too many.

I don't remember when it was. might find it by going over the books. I think there was one more entered than what was redeemed at that time. "At the conclusion of your examination," said Mr. Dexter, "I shall request you to look the books and see Bristol if you can find Here W.

H. was again referred to; also, 8' bonds (City Work-house). The latter were $70,000 seven per cent. bonds, called April 1, 1878. Witness said but he he thought did the banks redeemed the bonds, not remember.

seeing them after they were redeemed. He remembered nothing as to their destruction. was nobody's duty outside of the Auditor keep records of bonds. I don't think I ever made a record in the book, bat I think Harry Black barn made some entries. I hunted up some bonds for you last fall, and again in the spring -for nobody else 88 I remember.

This closed Mr. Cramsey's examination. Harry D. Blackburn was called next. Residence Hartwell, Ohio: employed in the Treasurer's Office as City Paymaster; have charge of the coupons; Mr.

Stegner has charge of the warrants; have handled no warrants lately; only paid a few over the counter; have made examination of the coupons of bonds, and found, in the fall of 1878, there were too many coming in. I spoke to the Auditor about it, and he said he would have the matter attended to. I think this was the spring of until 1878. June, This happened spoke right about it straight again 1879, to Mr. Hoffman, and he told Mr.

Cramsey to bunt it up. Hoffman never gave any information as to how it happened. -He seemed prised, and said I must have made a mistuke Fin the letter or number of the bond. Am satisfled I made no mistake. I spoke about this to the Third National Bank.

I and Mr. Ramp attempted to make a list of the coupons. No one in the Auditor's office came to examine them. I went over to that office once with the letter bonds, but not with letter As regards bonds. I discovered that there was a duplicate.

Mr. Cramsey went over the books and convinced me then that I was mistaken, but I learn since, by another examination, that I was right. am familiar with the matter of the reissue of bonds. Some of the bonds have come up from the banks that have never been canceled. The first one was for $5,000.

Mr. Ramp brought up one three or four months ago that was not canceled. This was for $1,000. He canceled then and there. Adjourned to Friday, at 2 p.

The Secretary announced the applications for space to date to be. 203. The Building Committee reported their bids for elevator, and were authorized to contract with Professor Warner for an elevator. The Railroad Committee reported that the Loulsville and Nashville Road had agreed to make reduced rates to the Exposition. The following letters were received from the Hall Association, and the letter which fellows them, by President Ingalls, ordered sent in responso: CINCINNATI MUSIC HALL ATSOCIATION, CINCINNATI, July 20, 1800.

INGALLS, President Fifth C. 1. Dear Sir: The Trustees of the Cineinnati advised Music Hall Association have been that it is the intention of your Commission to Introduce the electric light for illuminating purposes into the Music Hall during the Exposition this fall. I beg to inform you thet on the 27th of November, 1878, the Trustees, for certain considerations, entered tuto a written contract with the whereby Cincinnati they agreed, for a perlod of five Gas Light and Coke Company years from that date, not to corridors introduce rooms into be- or use in said Hall, or the or longing to it, other material for supplied general by said Illuminating Company. I purposes inclose you copy of a letter than gas received from the Secretary of the Gas relating to this subject.

pers JULIUS report that DEXTER- the My Exposition Dear Com The Pa ones are making, or have made, negotiations looking toward lighting Main Hall by electrie light during the approaching Exposition, General Hickenlooper desires me to call your attention to the contract between the Muste Hall Association and the Company, in the hope that the Commissioners may not embar. rass themselves by making a contract in contravention of said first-named contract. Very respectfully, ROBERT BROWN, JUN. Secretary Cincinnati Gas and Cole Co, CINCINNATI INDUSTRIAL EXPOSITION, CINCINNATI, July 21, 1880. BLACKBURN, Esq.

Secretary, cincinnati, Ohio Dear Sir: I have your favor of the 20th with Inclosure. We expect to occupy Music Hall for Exposition purposes, and among the premiums offered is a gold medal for the best electrio light. We have already one entry for the premium. It by means of the display we are enabled to reduce our gas bills we shall be very glad, as we have no doubt your Board will, for our enterprise is in the interest of the public, and they have the expense to pay. I do not suppose you will claim, and we certainly can not admit, that your Board have any control over the class or nature of our exhibits that we may make, consistent with the safety and projection of the Hall.

Even if we were not putting in the electric light as an exhibit, our Board would take exceptions to your contract baving any application. We were refused the benefit of this contract last year, and have on file an opinion of Hon. E. A. Ferguson, attorney of the Gas Company, that we were not entitled to its benents, therefore we can not certainly be subject to its provisions.

Yours truly, M. E. INGALIS, President. Music in the Woods. The Cincinnati Grand Orchestra will give its ninety-seventh grand concert at Burnet Woods this afternoon, beginning at half-past four o'clock.

WISE STATESMEN Have been interviewed all over the country, and the unanimous verdict rendered is that Indiana is the pivotal State in the coming election. And this statement is followed by another that the party (no matter which one is mentioned) is in splendid fighting trim, never so well organized before, do. A CORRUPTION FUND Is the basis of political organization in this State, and if those statesmen were telling the truth, the inference would be that the Committees were well in funds, and subject to the raids of the regular political thieves and deadbeats who claim to naves some votes to sell. No man but a thief would deal in votes in that way, and the Committeeman who would provide money for such a purpose is no better than the man who does the buying. I have nothing worse to say of the men who give the money to the Committeemen.

But thank God, but little of the vast sums raised to bribe the poor men to sell their manhood is ever expended in that way. THE CAMPAIGN OF 1876 In this State cost the Republicans $96,000 up to the October election, and the Democrats 000, or a total of $160,000, and the whole number voting at that election in both parties was 431,009, or twenty-eight cents to each voter. Of course, it is not pretended that every voter in the State received his twenty-eight cents. Who did get it? Why, the men who pretended they were using it to buy whisky and debauch the voter, as well as to induce him to vote against his convictions. No one can even dare pretend that this money was spent for any honest purpose.

Of course, some money was spent by the National Committee in having documents printed, and then these same documents were franked all over the country to men whose names were furnished by county candidates and county aspirants. IGNORANT BRAG Enters largely into each canvass, AS though some man would be convinced by it. Statesmen, men of character, get interviewed and lie like pirates about the situation, when in fact they know nothing of it. They generally claim that the whole of the "third party" will vote with them at the coming election, when the chances are that that party is stronger than ever before. STATISTICAL FACTS Have some value, as they indicate the drift of the honest vote.

The entire vote cast in 1872 in Indiaua was 349,779. The total vote of 1876 was 431,030, a gain of 81,251 votes in four years. In 1877 there were 451,028 voters in the State, of which 8,056 were colored. In 1874, before the Democratic party had decided in this State for soft money, the Greenback-Granger vote was 18,580 for Secretary of State. In 1876, the year in which "cords" of money were spent; the year in which the Democratic party in National and State Convention declared for greenbacks; the year in which a Democratic House passed a bill repealing the Resumption the Greenbackers or Nationals polled 15,588.

All the tempting baits thrown out to this little party in every shape, except the indorsement of their candidates, could only reduce their vote 2,942 in the next two years, the promises to the Democracy did not pan out to the satisfaction of the Nationals, and the consequence was that while the Democratic vote fell off nearly nineteen thousand and the Republican vote fell off nearly twenty-six thousand, the National vote increased from 15,588 to 39,415. The loss on the total vote of 1878 from that of 1876. was only 19,041, showing that the Nationals were securing recuits from some source. During the canvass of 1878, all the "well informed," "best posted politicians" kept giving out the information that the Nationals were dead. had a queer way of dying.

Mr. Jim Rice, the Secretary of the Democratic State Central Committee, furnished me with the following figures to show from whence the National vote was recruited: Election. From Dem. From Rep. November, 1876......

7,857 4,850 October, 1878. 23,711 Mr. Rice is nearly right as to 1878, but not as to 1876. Assuming that he is correct in 1878, then the Republicans contributed to the Nationals 8,007 votes more than did the Democrats. Senator McDonald says the party has gone to pieces, and the membership transferred to the Democracy.

Some Eastern -makes him say this. It he did say it (which don't believe). he knows less of Indiana politics than any publio man in the State save one. But if his statement is true, any man can readily see, who has any knowledge of our people, that these people would return to their old parties, because all financial questions between the Republicans and Democrats are at an end. Therefore put them back where they came from, and the vote.

of 1876 would stand as follows: 228,923 231,791 Republican 2,868 NATIONAL ISSUES Will not inflaence sufficient changes AB to Democrats or Republicans to have any visible effect in Indiana. The platforms of the two parties are so nearly identical that the only issue apparently left is the distribution of the offices, and it is well understood that Elder Garfield would sweep the platter very clean if elected. STATE ISSUES AND INFLUENCES Are what will do the business in this State. The first of these is a natural one. Since 1876 38,700 voters have died, while 56,200 young men have come of age.

These figures are based upon the poll of the State made by the ENQUIRER Bureau in February and March. and are as nearly reliable as can be made. By these natural changes, outside of the towns, the Republicans have gained over 1,600 votes. I have no definite information in regard to changes from these causes in the large towns and cities, but as a majority of the educational influences and the Church Influences are known to be with the Republicans the chances again are in their favor. NEGRO IMPORTATIONS Have added about 2,200 more votes to the Republican strengti These added to the before given will run up the Republican gains over Democrats 8,700 votes.

Add to this Germans who will vote with the Republicans, but who voted with the Democrats in 1876, and the total Republican gain from the three sources reaches 6,700 votes. THE APRIL ELECTIONS Are of no value except to show the National a rength as compared with their vote of two years ago. To anderstand this easily, the following figures are given: Election. Dem. Rep.

Nat. 1878........ 180.657 89,415 April, 1880...... 178,086 181,961 17,764 Loss 16,684 11,651 1,304 The returns show that in many counties in which in 1878 National votes were polled there WAS no National ticket in April last. Vigo County was a National stronghold in 1678 and 1878, and presents a fair phase for comparison: Year.

Dem. Rep. Nat. 1876...... 8,425 1,923 ..8,448 2,429 2,920 April, 1880 .8,441 8,510 This comparison shows at a glance that every National recruited from the Repub licans and Democrats both in 1878 went to the Republicans in 1890, and this too at a time when there was nothing to call out a full party vote.

I have the returns from all the connties, and in every case where a National ticket. was run nearly the same result is shown, I. that the National loss in 1890 was just about equal to the Republican gain. DEMOCRATIC VICTORY Depends entirely upon the National vote. That party has a splendid ticket, both State and National, their organization is quite as good as ever, and the masses of the party anchanged In their Anaucial views.

If they poll the vote of 1878 the Democrats are certain of the State on a plurality. If the party has gone to pieces the Republicans will curry the State by a good-sized majority. Senator McDonald is the only Democrat have henrd of who thought the Nationals dead, but he will find thit ne is badly deceived, unless the dissolution takes, place hereafter. I think the Nationals will poll a full vote this fall, and, 18 they do, the Democratio plurality will be about four thousand. LYNCH LAW Suggested in Western Pennsylvania.

One of the Most Heinous and Diabolical Crimes on Record. A Half- Girl Abducted From Her Home, Her Person Outraged by a Half-Dozen of Human Fiends Terrible Experience of Sylvian Burkett With the Attaches of a Traveling Show. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO TUE ENQCIBER. GREENSBURG, July 21-To-day there has been unearthed in this place one of the most fiendish crimes on feeord in the annals of Western Pennsylvania. It Is the story of a horrid assault and the most shocking bratality of a galaxy of inhuman ghouls on the innocence and virtue of a demented girl fourteen years of age.

Early this morning a farmer found Sylvian Burkett, the young girl who was abducted from her home in Somerset County several days ago by attaches of Boyd Peters' show, wandering among the mountins near the line between Westmoreland and Somerset Counties. The girl, who is slightly demented, was clothed in rags and was dragging herself wearily along scattering sand. She was taken in charge by kind friends and brought to Greensburg to-day to give her testimony at the hearing of 8. C. Peters, A.

Davis and H. Marks, who are charged with abducting her. These parties are proprietors and attaches of the show. The abduction and alleged outrage of the girl was chronicled in the ENQUIRER last week. The hearing took place at noon in the Courthouse here.

The prosecution was represented by Congressman Coffroth, of Somerset, and the District Attorney of this county. The first witness put on the stand was Sylvian Burkett. She is a well-formed, good-looking girl, who will be fourteen years old next December. She testified that she attended the show when at Shanksrille, near her home, on Tuesday afternoon. Several of the attaches came to her and spoke.

pleasantly, but she paid no attention to them. When the exhibition was over she started on her way home alone, and had reached the Methodist Church that stands on a secluded knoll a short distance from the town, when several of the showmen caught up to her and invited her to come back and join the company, painting glowing pictures of the enjoyments of stage life. She told them that she would rather remain at home, and they took hold of her and forced her to go back with them. She saw the exhibition that night, and made another effort to go home with the family of farmer named Zary. The party had reached the entrance to the tent, when a number of the attaches pushed themselves In between Sylvian and her friends and separated them, at the same time putting out the light.

They then carried and dragged the girl to the lonely spot where they encamped, and taking her into a tent, five of the showmen stripped her stark naked and violated her person. The poor girl then managed to get on some of her torn clothing and made another effort to reach her home, but was again prevented by the inhuman flends, who did not seem to have been satisfled with their hellish work. She was placed in the ticket wagon, and the party started for Jenner Cross Roads, and on the way one of the brutes staid in the wagon and she was again ravished. At Jenner the unfortunate girl made another attempt to get away from the flends, but was foiled. Her screams for help were heard by a number of persons there, but no one seems to have had sufficient courage to attempt her rescue.

The showmen told one or two farmers, who Inquired what WAS the matter, that one of the lady members of the company had a nit. When the show company left Jenner and had reached a lonely spot in the mountains, on the old State road from Jenner to Ligonier, a halt was made, and five more brutes in this galaxy of fiends took their horribly abused victim out in the woods, and again her person was ravished by them. From that time the girl lost her senses, and they took her into the town of Ligonier and gave an exhibition there. It was here they first heard that the father of their victim and several of his neighbors were on their trail. The brutes became alarmed, and sent two of their party out with the girl to put her in a safe hiding-place.

When the father reached Ligonier he was unable to find any trace of his missing child, and could learn nothing from the showmen. At Latrobe the search was repeated, but the girl was not to be found. It seems that the brutes then determined to get rid of their victim, and she was taken far out into the woods on the mountains and left alone to die. Whlle testifying, the poor girl spoke in low, weak voice, and was unable to sit in chair. Physicians who are attending her say that she has received the most hellish that it is a marvel that she lived to be present to give her testimony to-day.

Her recovery is considered very doubtful. When Sylvian Burkett had concluded her testimony Hon. A. H. Coffroth, for the prosecution, asked a continuance of the hearing on account of the illness of the girl.

In requesting a continuace he said that this was one of the most heineous, revolting and diabolical crimes ever committed in this section. After. remarks by the counsel for the defense, the Judge continued the case until. July 80th in open Court. During the reeital of the girl's terrible treatment many of the spectators were affected to tears, and the outbursts of indignation were most violent.

Several of the sturdy farmers present who had known the child since she was a prattling babe shoved their fists in the faces of the prisoners, and uttered the direst threats. It would not be unexpected if an attempt be made to lynch the prisoners. This latter feeling was intensified when the girl identifled all the prisoners as having of the party that ravished her. The excitement over the affair is at boiling heat here and in the surrounding country, SPRINGFIELD. Conley's Crookedness- Democratic Boom-Bray's Dose -Death of Mr.

John C. Baxton.

Barney Bray, the young man charged with assaulting Constable Plegemann with intent to kill, pleaded guilty of assault and battery before the Mayor to-day, and was fined $50 and costs and sent to jail for ninety days. Mr. John C. Buxton, one of our most promiment and wealthy citizens, died this afternoon at his residence on East High street, of an ailment of several years' standing. His age is about fifty-four years.

He came to this city quite 8 number of years ago from Nashun, New Hampshire, and worked AR clerk under Mr. John B. Norris, former freight agent of the Cleveland, Bandusky and Cincinnati Ratrond here, but now decensed. Mr. Buxton succeeded him in that position, his faithfulness and ability readily fitting him for it.

He rose rapidly, and several years ago was appointed Superintendent of the rond, and held the office acceptably under the Sloane management. Or late he has been cashier of the Savings Bank in this city. Mr. Baxton was always intensely devoted to bustness--in fact, was greatly overworked and had amassed a very mug fortune. STAR CITY CHIPS.

Boy Browned- Colored Man ShotShovelful of A Busted Bank. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. LAFAYETTE, July Report of the drowning of Harry Girard, a boy at Syrmont, is just received. Harry had gone bathing with tiro companions, one of whom cried out that he was drowning. Harry went to help him, and got beyond his depth, and was drowned.

Two colored men got into an altercation last evening in the Fourth Ward, and one of them shot the other, wounding him in the shonider. Their naines are Lacy and Thornton, lie latter doing the shooting, he claims, in selfdefense. Isaso W. Allison, the well-khown while at work at the Ellsworth building, received a shovelful of brick-bats OIL his head. He had stepped out on the pavement just in time to get the dose thrown from the roof of the building.

He was badly cut up on the head, neck and shoulder. Mr. Frank J. Reed, of the Daily Journal, and Miss Cleone Lane were united in the holy bonds this evening at the home of the bride's mother on North Fifth street. Last night the police visited the faro bank on the south-enst corner of Fifth and Columbin streets, and arrested the following-named parties: Robert Hightower, John L.

Whitney, Edward Houser, F. Peters, 8. F. Carr, Henry Buskirk, Plerce Carroll, F. Corns and Woodward Porter.

The parties, with the exception of Carr, Peters and Woodward, were fined and costed to the extent of $34 55 each. Carr and Peters did not appear, but will be served the same. Porter was discharged. This is the first case of the kind for many years, and it created to-day a vast amount. of comment.

It is the sensation of the day. The persistent war of the newspapers the prime canse of the "pulling." JUDGE LYNCH'S COURT. Good Way to Reform Outlaws SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. SANDY HOOK, July Sunday Constable Toliver arrested Clay Mabry, an outlaw and desperado who had been chased from Elliott by the "Regulators," but who, for some purpose best known to himself, was slipping back to his old haunts. Mabry was brought to this place and delivered over to Jaller Flanery, who put him under guard for the night.

About midnight a party of mounted men. supposed to be "Regulators," rode into town, took Mabry from the guards, and conducted him to the famous whinnt tree near the Court-house, where, few months ago, Muck and Kendall were hanged, and prepared to give Mabry also the benefit of a tree swing by the neck. A great many of the citizens of the town were awakened by the poor fellow's piteous cries and petitions, After he made his confession and told all he knew about the balance of the gang. including John Conn, Ike Kirk, John Hunter and Bill Barker, they delivered him back to the custody of the guards and quietly left the town. Mabry says he will try to serve God and obey the laws of his country from this time forward.

He thinks Judge Lynch may be just, but he don't want any more business in his Court. MERRITT'S HEAD. The Price of Conkling's Support of Garfeld. SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE NEW YORK, July is, generally beleved that Collector Merritt's visit to Washington is to make an appeal to John Sherman to save his official head, for the political gossip of the day is that Conkling has forced the Administration to throw Merritt overboard. Hayes, it is said, is willing to do this to conciliate the great New York Senator, but.

John Sherman, who has not evinced that great desire to assist Garfield that had been expected, is holding back. Conkling is said to have demanded Merritt's overthrow as the price of his active support of Garfleld. It is easy enough to furnish the pretext for his removal. He is acoused of removing more than two hundred old and experienced officers and putting rural politicians in their places; also, of giving a large number of sinecure positions to persons who have not done any work; also, of devoting his time to politics. Merritt has unquestionably been guilty of all these; but if he goes it will be for other reasons than these charges which have been made against him.

BOLD BURGLARS. They Enter Brewery in Dayton and Compel an Employe to Surrender the Keys to the Safe Becoming Frightened They Shoot al and Wound the Employe. SPRCIAL DISPATCH TO THE ENQUIRER. DAYTON, July forced an entrance into Stickle's brewery about halftwo o'clock this morning and demanded the keys of the book-keeper, Henry Kiester, who was asleep in the office. He gave them up very reluctantly, and while one stood guard with 8 pistol to his head the other two proceeded to open the safe.

Mr. Klester, seeing his guard was more interested in the opening of the safe than he was in him, jumped up and gave the alarm. The robbers immediately took to their heels not without firing a shot at Mr. Klester, which struck him on the head, causing a slight scalp wound. The burglars have not been caught.
