A Montclair, N. J., delimit& says ; One of the most astoonding etories of pietn and grime ba a been brought to light /are, Ond bag oxoited wonder and =prise amongst the citizens of aloutclair. One of the most respectable and respeoted oitizens of this town has been dames Tuthill, a boss meson. Be tame here from Port Jarvis five years ago. He and he wife joined the Montelair Congregational Chetrob, and won the re. spot Dad esteem et their neighbore. Tuthill became very popular with bie fellow,townemen. Be iomed Excelsior Hone Company No. 2 and several social seillbs, end every one who knee( him lined him. He never drank nor Swore, was evet ready to hapany one in need, and counted hie friends by the score. Many of the residents of Montclair are men of wealth, doing businees in New York. Tuthill did work for them all, wee re- ceived on friendlyaerme in their homes, and maimed in a fair way of amaseing a fortune. NOSPAND AND WIFE liOw PRIS?ZiERS. To -day ADAMS is changed. Tuthill is a prisoner in the Raymond Street Jail, Brooklyn; his handsome wife is looked up in jail at Newark, and their names are mooted by the same people who only a week ago were proud to be seen on the tarots with them. The eminently re- speotable Mr. Tuthill has been found out to be the recklees burglar who for the pest few years has been robbing the homes of the wealthy in Montclair, Glen Ridge, Bloomfield, Orange and surrounding towns, and his wife is suspected of being his accomplice. Shortly after Tuthill came here to live several bold burglaries were oomenittea in rapid succession. As the burglar was always masked no one could ever give a description of him. Tuthill startea a movement to bring Pinkerton detectives there to chase down the thief. Mr. Tot- ' hill's house was .never entered, and while he was loud and devout in his thanks to the Almighty, who spared him snob, a visitation, he was active in counselling those who had suffered by the depredations of the midnight intruder.

A Govern- ment detective assisted in the arrest. Slattery said that he and Spaulding were arranging to go into the business on a larger male. Ten cent pieces and dollars were the coins mostly named by the corms terfeitere, and were of finch excellent make that it was with the utmost difficulty that they were detected, and a large amount of the epurious coin has been oiroulateclin the city. Spaulding and Mrs. Slattery were arraigned before Con3miesioner Fairchild this afternoon. Spaulding pleaded guilty and was held in two thousand dollars bonds. Mrs. Slattery's bonds were fixed a one thousand dollars. Slattery will b arraigned to -morrow morning. ROBBED MENDS AND STRANGERS. A week ago last Monday night the reed - denim of George Booth, a Mason and personal friend of Tuthill, was entered by the lone burglar. Mr. Robertson, who is thinking a moving to Montclair, was Mr. Booth's guest that night. As the village oloole was tolling 12 he was roused by his bedroom window being opened, and a slim - built man lightly jumped into the room from the veranda. Mr. Robertson watched him and saw him coolly strike a match on the wall and look about. Then he deftly abetraoted Mr. Robertson's gold watch from his vest, and the matoh went out. The thief was strik- ing another =each, when Mr. Robertson jumped out of bed and grappled wish him, bat the fellow escaped. Mr. Robertson awoke the household. While he was telling his experience the burglar was less than a block away getting into the residence of John Manuel, an- other Mason, and a warm friend of the good Mr. Tuthill. Manuel was aroused before the burglar got into his room, though, and gave him battle on the piazze. The thief's mask came off in the etruggle, and Dlr. Manuel could hardly believe his senses, for the face he recognized was that of his friend, the village favorite, " Jim " Tuthill. The latter broke away and got off safely for the time being. 'Finally Robertson and /Kennel had a warrant issued to search Tuthill's house. In the cellar of the house they found a gold and diamond mine. Buried in the party - wall and thrown in concealed orevices were rings, watches, diamonds, pooket-books, money, bracelets, breast.pins, esr-rings, watch ohains and every kind of jewelry, representing many thousands of dollars, and some which were stolen years ago. ARRESTED AT GREENPOINT. Tathill escaped during the excitement, but a constable traced him to New York, to Brooklyn .and finally to Greenpoiat, where he arrested him. He was taken to Raymond Street jail. Tuthill strenuously denied his guilt, and claimed that if he were really guilty he was not responsible, as he had no recollection of ever robbing any one. While looking for Tuthill, Allworth els- covered that he had also robbed at least Iwo houses in Greenpoint, one the residence of Robert Herring, at No. 103 Greenpoint avenue. He entered the house by the second story window about 2 o'clock in the morning while the family were asleep. He aroused Mr. Herring though, and the latter found Tuthill biding in the parlor and smashed the lighted lamp on hie head, cutting the scalp badly, but the burglar jumped from the window and escaped The wife was arrested yesterday morning at her home, and arraigned before Justice Morris, who committed her to the jail at Newark. It is said that she has made a full confession. Queen Flo. on a Tour. A London cable says: Among the im- pediments with which the Queen started on her Continental tour on Monday may be mentioned three coachmen, nine grooms, eight horses, one donkey, three carriages, seventy-two trunks, three special beds, a special cooking stove, wine, two doctors, QM surgeon, one surgeon smoother for the Princess Beatrice, three ladies-in-waiting, nine women servants, one lord, two equerries and seven dogs. Her Majesty was in an unusually gracious mood, and on the Dover train enailed sweetly on Prince Battenberg, now completely restored to Royal favor. Indeed, she addressed him twice as "Lieber Heinrich" (Dear Henry) in such a loud tone of voice that the Queen evidently intended that those of her lieges within earshot should hear. A Sugar Refinery Explosion. A Chicago despatch of last night says; An explomon °courted here this evening in the Chicago Sugar Refinery Company's plant. One man wag fatally hurt, and twenty others severley burned. The 200 men in the building, when they heard the zeport of the explosion and ow the gists of the flames, were penioatrioken, end rushed down the long, narrow stairway headlong, and out into the air. It was some moments before they realized the position of them who were Working on the floot below where the explosion took place. With the aid of eighteen fite-eogine crews the big refinery was barely slimed, and by lively work el More of bruieed and maimed victims were soon deposited on hastily in3proviled ()ouches.

Which, it ie alleged, the engineers during the enoiternent negleotea to shut. The starboard engine was shattered almost to pieces, the port engine rooms were filled with upward of 2,000 tons of water, and the port engine was entirely USe1008. All went well till 5.30 p. ria. on the 251h, when, while the steamer was going at fall speed, the starboard engine suddenly col- lapsed and the low pressure cylinder broke, smashing the injector water pipe connections and bursting the iron bulkhead dividing the port and starboard engines. The metal fiew in all direetions. A. por- tion of the machinery smashed through the steamer's double bottom. The water poured through the hole into the engine rooms, compelling the engineers and firemen to rush to the deck for safety. Terrible consequences would have ensued but for Ike bravery of the eiscond engineer, who at the peril of his life, enveloped as he was in hisaing steam, managed to shut off the steam', thus saving the machinery from total demolition. Re escaped unhurt. The captain and officers suceieeded in assuring the exoited passengers that there was no danger. The lifeboats were cleared in readiness for use. The steamer drifted helplessly until the 261h inst., when the oaptain tient thief officer reason and six men in a lifeboat to get into the traok of other line steamers, in hope of being able to interoept the Cite- of Chester or Adriatic. The boat met the Adriatic, whioh declined to take the City of Paris in tow. The Aldersgate now hove in sight, and offered to tow the City of Paris. The offer was accepted. The Aldersgate is a Brasil eteamer, unable to tow over four or five knots hourly, and Negress was slow until Saturday, when the Adrietio was sighted. She stood by until 8 pane., when Fastnet was sighted. Two tugs were sent later. The water kept increasing in spite of the work of the pump. Divers are examining the veseel. The .Adriatio's Offer. In the talk among seafaring people yes- terday, the offer of Capt. Roberts, of the Adriatic, to take off the passengers of the City of Paris and bring them to New York was pronounced a liberal offer and all that he could have been expected to make. To say that be was under any obligation to try to save the steamship was considered ridiculous. The common sentiment of humanity impels and requires all sailors to do all that is possible to save life. Capt. Roberts, although bound west and with probably no unusual supply of provisions on board,was willing to take the passengers from the City of Paris, and there was another ship there to take care of her orew. Capt. Roberts had his own passengers and orew to think of, as well as his mail, and the notion that he should risk or even seriously aieoommode hie own people to save the ship of another line, was every- where soouted. Saving ships is a matter of dollars, not sentiment, and the decision whether or not to Bend the passengers off, rested with the Captain of the City of Paris and with the passengers themselves. In the mg of a British mail steamship there is a further consideration. Mr. J. Bruce Ismay, the agent of the White Star line, said last evening: "11 is against the law for a royal mail steamer such as the Adriatic is to stop on her course except to save life. By all accounts Capt. Roberts, of the Adriatic, offered to take any or all the passengers aboard his ship and land there in New York. That was the best he could do. It wouldhave been a great thing for the company if he had been able law- fully to tow the City of Paris into her port, for the salvage on her will be large. The captain's share alone would have been about $3,500, and every member of the Adriatic's orew would have received a share. But if they had done so they would have lost probably three days eaoh way. Probably the majority of the dealers in the Stook Exchange are looking for papers and speoie whioh the Adriatio carries, and which they have agreed to deliver at a cer- tain date, not to mention the inconvenience to thousands of Americans who are looking for the general mail matter she oarriee."— New York Sun. i Any wlael e from 150 to 200 preens are inpired to an extent worth noticing, and probably 500 to 1,000 have slight bruises or le:treadles. A good many estimates of the .damage to property have been ranth too high. The actual loss will not be so great as was euppood at firet. The estimates in some ORME were ten tiraes the aotual lose. The tobacco warehouses were not Inert to the extent stated. Nearly all of those demolished were old buildings and a comparatively small sum will put the new ones in repair. The great demand now is bricklayers; probably 1,500 Mtn be given empleynaent, and the contractors announce they will pay 1/4.50 a day. It is rumored the local bricklayers will demand 55 a day. The river is strewn with floating debris from the stori. From Tenth street to t the waterworks bundreds in skiffs are ply - e ing about colleoting the wreckage.

It emitted a constant fuelled° of lightning, and seemed to be composed of a ene.ke-like mass of electric ourrente, whose light would pometimes suddenly be extinguished for a few moments, making an almost intolerably horrible doneness. It was acoompanied by a fearful roar, like that of a thousand trains crossing a big bridge at once. It could be seen to mike Louisville, and then, with incredible rapdity, rumbling &whiny, the mass leatied the river, °hanging it into white foam as it oame toward the Indiana shore. At Mitchell, Ind., Thursday evening during the storm Mrs. Martha Painter, a widow, and her three young sons were re. turning home in a waggon, when they were strut* by lightning, all being killed except the eldest boy. The team was also killed. Eminence, Ky., was visited by a cyclone on Thursday night. The reeidenoe of Richard Anderson, one and a half miles south, was unroofed, and a large barn was destroyed. It then caught the two.story brick mansion of J. EL. Drain, sweeping away the upper story. Then it caught the buildings in the yard, sweering them from existence. One of them was occupied by a tenant, Joseph Kierney and family. His 3-year.old daughter and hie brother-in-law, Maddox, were killed. Kierney was fatally injured. His wife and younger ohild were bruised. An Evansville, Ky., despatch says: The tug Ingelside was caught by the wind yes. terday morning and capsized. An unknown negro was drowned. The Mail Line wharf was driven up on the bank and 200 tone of freight were greatly damaged. Amos White left his wife and baby in a house on piles in the river above Evansville on Thursday night to come to town for provi- sions. When he attempted to retun he was driven on the shore by and had to give it up.Yesterday morning be ohartered a tug and started out to where his home had been. The house had been oarried away, and bis wife and baby per- ished. White tried to throw himself from the tug into the river, but was held back. He is now in jail a raving maniac. The Louisville & Nashville train southbound to Nashville ran into a tree across the road near Sebree, Ky., and. was completely wrecked. Peter Barns, the engineer, one of the oldest on the road, and Powell, brake- man, were killed. The break in the eastern levee at latest reports we,s 000 feet wide and increasing rapidly. The water has crossed to the west bank of Williams' bayou at Avondale, and is two feet deep in the stores at that place. Avondale is five miles south of the crevasse. The water from the Offntt break is now within one mile of this place. The break at Huntington is now 600 feet wide, and is hourly growing wider, and threatens to become an immense break. No stook hes been lost as yet. The break at Skip. with is now nearly 700 feet wide, and is rapidly increasing. The river at Greenville has fallen three inches, clamed by the breaks above. The levee between Luna and Columbia Landing, Arkansas, broke on Thursday morning, but no particulars odd be learned. Work has been aban- doned on the break, it being deemed that the labor and money could be better util- ized in proteoting weak points, thereby preventing further breaks or damage. A Louisville despatch says : J. 3. Hogan, of the Memphis Commercial, arrived here to -day, having just made a tour of the flooded district along the Mississippi river. He says the situation is alarming, and the flood has not reached the highest notch. In tbe Laconia oirole, situated in Despa county, Arkansas, and comprising 20,000 ores, the scene is heartrending. This strip of country is inundated to a depth of 5 to 20 feet, and the inhabitants, number- ing between 2,000 and 3,000, whites and blacks, are perched on housetops and in the trees. Starvation is telling on the tattle, while the humen victims are in scarcely lea deplorable condition ae to food. SHE WAS A. SLATTERN, And Be Siiarpeeed.H0S Razor and Coolly Out Her Throat. A Boston despatch of last night gays: Charles Kershaw, an Englishmon, aged 55 years, made desperate by jealousy, to -night ranrdered his young wife in cold blood at their home, 27 Melrose street, in the south end. The affair was deliberate and butcher - like in its ferooity. The couple came from Yorkshire, England, three years ago. They were poor but respectable. The husband, a morose, reserved man, was never popu- lar, but his wife, 25 years younger, was vivoious and liked company. Kershaw disliked this, but was particularly jealous of one 3f the male boarders in the Kellen° house. Tconight he came home after hear- ing a scandal about his wife which mad- dened him. He found her lying on the le d, half dressed, reading, the day's washieg lying in the kitoben untouched and the honee negleoted. He. ordered her to ries and clean things np. She said ehe would when she Wee ready. He turned away, say- ing, all right, be would shave himself, and got out his razor and mug. The former he sharpened, and, stepping across the room, suddenly pounoed upon the prostrate woman, and foroing her head. back, out her throat clear to the spinal column. She did not scream, but in the struggle all her clothing wee torn off. The murderer left the room, and going to that of a 1 allow - boarder named Charles Lovitt, coolly said he bad killed his wife. Levitt, an ex - policeman, carried the assassin to the station -house, where he confessed the crime, said be was glad, and gave the above details. 310BE BRITISH. GOLD To be Invested in Buying rip 'Yankee Paper and Pulp Bills. A. Watertown, N. Y., despatch seas Messrs. Bertram, of Edinburgh, Scotland, and Wegelin, March, and Young, of Lon- don, England, representatives of the great English paper mill syndicate, are in Water- town making an investigation of plant and business of the Remington Paper Co., which has extensive paper and pulp mills in this city. A big deal seems about to be consummated. If the report of the experts is favorable this and other large plants will become the property of the syndicate within a few weeks. The concerns involved in the transaction are the Remington Paper Co., of this city; the Hudson River Pulp and Paper Co., of Palmer's Palle; the Glen's Falls Paper Manufaoturing Co., and the Rochester Paper Co. The eyndloate repre- sentatives have is ow visited all the Rochester mills, and when that plant has been in- spected they will make a report as to the entire property. If their report is favor- able the transfer will probably be made within a few weeks. The united mills will be managed upon a oapitalization of about five million dollars. One-third of the stook is to be held by the present ownere of the plant. &Abbe& Two Fellow Workmen. A Newark, N. J., despatch of yesterday says: The room at Herman's hat factory, where two men are employed in sizing hats, was entered to -day by" fiddler" Smith, a notorious tough. Rushing up to teeorge Hastinge, he demanded: " What have you been saying about me ?" Hastings retreated, and Smith followed with a shoe -knife. A workman interfered, but was knocked down. Smith then plunged the knife into Hastings' abdomen, making a wound from which the bowels protruded. Frederick Butler then rushed to Hastings' assistance. Smith plunged the blade into Butler's side, near the heart, and the blade broke against the men's ribs. Butler sank to the floor bola Hastings. The workingmen then overpowered Smith, and gave him over to the police. Hastings died this even. ing, and Butler's life is despaired of. They were each over 60 years old. Smith is 54 years old. Smith was disoharged from Herman's a few dive ago, end blamed Hastinge for his dismissal. Be Shot a Priest. A Baltimore despatch says: The town of Texas, thirteen miles from here, was thrown into great excitement to -day by an attempt to sesessinate Rev. Patrick B. Lenneghan, assistant pastor of St. Joseph's Catholic church. The prieet was to officiate at a foneral, and lame in the church reading his office, while waiting the arrival of the body. Richard McNichols without a word of warning, fired at him five shots from a revolver, three of which took effect, Father Linneghan now lies in a critical condition.

The Charlottetown POIMIOning Case. A Charlottetown, F.B.I., despatch of yesterday says: The Weeke-Sutherland poisoning OW Was resumed this morning. The attendance was very much larger than on previous occaeione. All were eager to have a look at the girl Lizzie Stewart, and learn of her wanderings during the peat three weeks. She testified to having been at Mrs. Weekee in the fall of 1888. While there, Mrs. Weeks, while talking to Mai. Sutherland, asked me how much I Nebula take and poison her. I asked her if she was in earnest. She guessed I mold not be paid to poison Mrs. Sutherland. She did ndt offer to pay me nor did I agree to do it, At another time Annie, my sister, who was servant there, and Mrs. Weeks had a talk in the kitchen. BIM Weeks said : She went in Sutherland's kitehen window at night and upstairs and into the bedrooms, and took some papers out of Botberleind's pocket. Took a bottle of whiskey,out of the pantry and came home. She said the Satherlands did not see her, as they were asleep, end she had gone in and out with- out being heard."

Ground to Fragments. A Quebec, despatch says : A horrible accident occurred on the Interoolonionial Railway between Campbellton and St.Flavie at e station called Cedar Hall, in the county of Rimonski, on Friday flightiest, by which a brakeman named Joseph Normand, an - married, lost his life in a shocking manner. The fast train leaving Campbellton at 4.20 p.mhad stopped at Cedar Hall, and Normand started to examine a wheel of one of the oars which was damaged, when as he was passing from the engine to the tender the train suddenly started and he missed his footing and fell between the cars. In falling he had the presence of mind to seize and pull the bell -rope, but before the engine could be slowed up fifteen oars had passed over the unfortunate man's body. When taken from beneath the train the remains presented a sickening spectacle, being noth. ing more than a mass of mangled and quivering flesh and broken bones. The face was °melted beyond recognition, the brain was oozing from several fractures in the skull, and every bone in the body was broken. The remains were collected in a blanket and conveyed to St. Flavie, where an inquest was held by Coroner Garneau. Tired of Lite.

I replied, and urged him to come to my private quartere, where he could find a home until we got him something to do.

The name of the agent in Toronto re- ferred to in the letter is given by the writer, but Detective Murray thinks it prudent not to disclose it, at least at the present time. Detective Murray has received a letter from Scotland Yard, and one that Chief of Polioe Grimed had from England concern- ing the oases upon which he is working. He is not at liberty just now to publish their contents, but they iodinate tbe keen inter- est taken in certain quarters in England in these oases of iarna pupils, and it is understood they have an nnportant bearing on the business. England's Best Butter Made in Denmark. Danish butter, which commands top prices in our markets, is all made from soured or ripened cream, as most of our own butter is, though there ere advocates of the sweet.oream system, end many who practioe it. The new Danish system bas proved so successful that a description of it, transisted from a Danish pollination for the Dairy, is worthy of attention in this country. On the day before it is intended to ripen cream a quantity of whole milk is taken (2 per cent. of the quantity of cream to be soured) and one- fifth of pure cold water is added to it. It is poured into a glean can or earthenware jar, and heated to a temperature of about 90 degrees Fahrenheit, packed in hay, and allowed to stand for twenty hours. If the external temperature has not been too low it will then have thiokened to an even and slightly gelatinous consistency ; but if it should be lumpy or curled, the souring process has gone too far, and it Would spoil any cream to which it was added. The cream, after being separated, Is bested to a temperature of 66 to 68 de- grees Farenheit, or a little len in summer and a little more in winter. It is then poured into the cream vessel and well etirred, after which the sour milk is added, the mixture being again stirred, covered over and left perfectly quiet for nineteen or twenty hours. Care should be taken to keep the place in which the cream is ripened of an even temperature; and if there is any difficulty in securing this ob- ject, the vessel should be proteoted by a peeking of hay. At the end of the time named the cream should be of an even, gelatinone consistency, and of a elightly sour, but sweet odor. If it is lumpy or emits an unpleasant odor the souring has gone too far, and the butter will not be first-rate.

A large American eagle is now on exhibi- tion in a show window of Alex. Dann, Wy- oming avenue, Sorenton, Pa. It was cap- tured after considerable difficulty. The eagle made its appearance on the farm of James Fitzpatrick, Wyoming °aunty. Fitzpatrick's attention was attracted by an unusual disturbance in his pig stye. Thinking hie porkers might have been at- tacked by bears or a catamount, as both are numerous in the wilds of Wyoming, Farmer Fitzpatrick seized his trusty shot- gun, and, leaving the breakfast tablarnshed to the rescue. He was surprised to find, instead of a bear or wild cat, a large eagle hovering over the pen. The bird, steadying itself with wideapread wings, was endeav- oring to pick up one of the pigs with ite talons Fitzpatriok drew is bead upon the huge bird and fired. The shot did not kill the eagle, but the farmer captured it after a little struggle. Newfoundland's Fisheries. •A London oable says: In the House off COMM02113 this evening Mr. Wm.
