Fatal Affair.
On Monday last, about 2 p. m., Ehnira
Shaw, daughter of Peter Shaw, met with
a fatal accident. The facts are as follows:
She was working at the stove when her
clothes took Ore, and as soon as she discov
ered that her clothing was burning she
made an effort to subdue the fire, hut Jail
ing to do so, she rushed to the hall, wl.cn u
daughter of Mr. J. 1J. Fethcrman dashed
a bucket of water over her. She then
made an effort to get out doors; but the
front door being locked she failed to get
out. From the hall she rushed to the
bed room and got on the bed. By this
time her clothes were burnt off. The
bed also took fire, which was scon extin
guished. Mr. Fethcrman and wife were
from home, and the only inmates in
the house at the time, were her father,
who was too infirm to render any assis
tance, and two of Fetherman's children,
one a boy about tcn-3ears old and a
daughter, about thirteen years who made
every effort to save her. She died about
nine o'clock in the evening of the same
day. Aged about 40 years.

Mosby a Prisoner.
It is stated by a Richmond paper (hat
John S. Mosby, the guerrilla leader, Was
recently arrested at his home, in Fauquier
county, Virginia, and takeu to Winchester,
upon a charge of having hanged two Federal
soldiers during the war, in retaliation for
the murder of his own men. Mosby claimed
to be a regular Confederate officer; but as he
had command of a set of fellows who were
ouly called upon when wanted, and who,
after they had done a certain piece of bloody
or thievish work, went to their homes to
await the next summons, men who were guer
rillas by night and farmers by day,lhe terms of j
Lee's surrender had to be strained almost to
breaking in order to afford him the benefit
thereof. The United States are determined,
while recognizing the validity of the parole,
to punish all ollenscs which were against
the rules of civilized war. Mosby. was not
very particular, rumor says, about such ob
servance. Hence his present trouble, if the
statement of his arrest be true.
Incendiaries Given Over to Lynch Law.
Buffalo, Jan. 22. A despatch from Titus-
ville, Pa., dated to-day, says there were two
large fires there last night. Three men
were arrested, charged with being the in-
ccndiaiies, and are being tried by a Vig,
ilance committee. If found guilty they will
be hung at once. No particulars have been
received.
The loss by the fire is 75,000 and the
insurance $55,000. The Lycoming Insu
ranee Company loses heavily, but most of
tiie loss falls on the Philedalphia and East
ern Companies.
The greatest excitement prevails among
the people, who .-.re determined to rid the
place of all iucendiaries, robbers and other
scoundrels.
Arc You Legally Married? According
to the ruling of the District Court in Phil
adelphia, the great majority of the persons
iivinjr together as husband and wife in the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, were nev
er legally married. This is a sturtling prop
osition, but it is held that an old law, en
acted in 1701, declaring that intention of
marriage must be published in meeting and
posted on meeting houses before the ceremony
can be legally performed, is still in force,
having never been repealed. The statute
has long been ignored, but Judge Shars
wood declared it still in binding1 force.
Whether it is safe to tliusdeclare ninetenths
of the supposed married couples of the State
violators of the law in this strange manner,
remains to be scon.
Before any more of the marriageable
people are joined in matrimony, they
should petition the Legislature to repeal the
naughty law which compels the bans to be
published.

Arrest of Counterfeiters.
The Pittsburgh Chronicle, of Dec,
29th, sdys : One of the most important
arrests of counterfeiters wnion nas oeen
made in this State vas effected hi Eric on
Monday, through the efforts of Detec
tives Cooley and Whitney of Erie. The
arrest embraces five of the gang, who
were located in New York, and the seiz
ure of $28,000 in counserfcit Treasury
notes. I1 or some months past tnis gang
has has been doing a thrivir.g business,
and through their efforts the entire oil re
gions have been literally flooded with
counterfeit money. Detectives Cooley
and Whitney determined to discover the
whereabouts of the gang, and, n possi
ble, break it up by capturing the parties
and their stock of money. After con
siderable trouble the officers ascertained
that the gang had their headquarters
near Buffalo, and at once placed them
selves in "connection with it," in police
parlance. One of the officers addressed a
note by mail to the "chief," proposing to
purchase a considerable quantity of the
trash for the purpose of ''shoving" it in
the Oil, Regions. After some nego
tiations the terms of sale were settled aud
the "chief" agreed to deliver the money
by express at Erie. Either from fear of
detection or. of the failure of the promised
remittances for the "stuff," the chief,"
whose name is J. W. Sowlcs, concluded
to send the money by Thomas Uale, one
of the gang.
In due time, Hale, reached Erie, and
immediately upon his arrival he was ta
en in custody by the detectives and lod
ged in jail before he had time to destroy
any of the evidences of' his guilt or to
communicate with his frieuds. The de
tectives then addressed a letter to Sowlcs.
purporting to be written by Hale, inform
ing him that he (Hale) had suddenly
taken ill, and had been unable to deliver
the monev. The letter also referred to
the impossibility of sccrotingnhe money
and urged upon Sowies the necessity of
immcdate presence in .Erie to make the
delivery of the money in person. Tins
letter had the desired effect, as Sowies
started for Erie on the first-train after its
receipt. The train on which the "chief
had taken passage met with an accident,
and a uumbcr of persous were mjureu.-
lle, however, escaped unhurt, and arriv
ed in Erie after scrverul hours detention
Of course he was immediately arrested
and conveyed to jail to keep Hale com
pany.
The letter ruse having proved so sue
cessful the detectives determed to resort
to it ajja'in They accordingly took ad
vantage of the accident to the train above
referred to, aud proceeded at once to
Buffalo. On their arrival there they ad
dressed a letter, to the three remaining
members of the gang, purporting to have
been written by Sowies, in which they
were informed that the ''chief'" had his
leg broken by the accident to the train
and that he was at a hotel unable to be
moved. In addition to this information,
the letter demanded the immediate pre
sence of the three, their prompt reply to
the summons being necessary to .prevent
exposure. The foliowiug day the deteo
lives had the satisfaction of meeting their
men at the hotel named, and in a short
time afterward the counterfeiters were
safely lodged in the jail at Buffalo.
The skill and energy displayed by
Messrs. Cooley and Whitney in their
operations reflect the highest credit up
on them. The result of their operations
was the arrest of Sowies and Hale, ant
three others, whose names we did not as
sertain, aud the seizure of $28,000in
counterfeit money. Messrs. Cooley and
Whitney arrived in this city from Erie
last evening, with Sowies aud Uale in
charge. These prisoners were committed
to the county jail, and will be tried at
the next term of the United States Court
in this city. The other members of the
gang will be tried at Buffalo, New York.
Eeturn of Gov. iCnrtin
The Governor of Pennsylvania has re
turned from bis visit to Cuba, having
arrived at Ilarrisburg on Monday last,
somewhat unexpectedly to his friends at
home. Since his departure and con
sequent release from the cares of office,
his health has steadily improved. His
physician says that the alarming symp'
toius, from which he basso loug suffered,
have nearly disappeared under the in
fiuenceofa mild climate. This intelli
gence is gratifying to the people of the
State with whom the Governor is univer
sally popular. II is early return will en
able the course of legislation to proceed
without further delay or uncertainty, and
the proposed adjournment of the Legisla
ture to await his presence is now need
less.
Since his arrival he'has been busy pre
paring his usual annual message, which
although it may be completed by Wed
nesday, will not be transmitted to the
Legislature before Monday.

Audacious Eobtery. $70,000 Stolen of
a Bank Messenger.
One of the boldest robberies that has
come under our notice recently occurred
on Friday morning, at 9 o'clock, on the
corner of Beekman and William sts., iu
the presence of large numbers of street
passengers, and almost under the very
' - . . . . ... i
noses of the police authorities tnemseives.
At that hour, the messenger ot tne
Farmers' and Citizens' Bank of Brooklyn.
a lad by the name of Sauiuel Terry, was
proceeding to the Park Bank, f LJeekmau
St., near Nassau -st.) with a package con
taining the regular exchanges ot the two
houses. This package was stated by the
officers of the Park Bank to have contain
ed about 70,000 $20,000 of which
were secured by duplicate checks, but
this has since proved to be a misstate
mcnt.
According to the statement of the mes
senger, while he was passing the' comer
of Beekman aud William sts., at 9 o clock
yesterday morning, two men in a wagon
suddenly halted at his side. One of
them sprang out, struck him a stunning
blow in the face, at the same time mena
cing him with a pistol, the muzzle of
which he clapped against his breast. Tn
another instaut the precious package was
snatched from the hand of the bewilder
ed messenger. The man leapcl backin
to the wagon with his prize, his comrade
applied the whip vigorously, and the da
ring robbers were out of sight, before their
victim had recovered from his surprise
and terror, which were so great as to pre
vent him from making the slightest out
cry. A crowd collected immediately after
ward, aud the intelligence of the affair
created considerable commotion in the
street, but the thieves were off. The boy
at once went to the Police Station, qnly
half a block from the scene ef theft, and
told his story as well as his confusion
would permit
The above account is the substance of
what he said, and, though wearing au air
of improbability at the first, there can be
little question of its truth I he amount
stolen is variously stated. One of the of
ficers of the Bank to which the messen
ger belongs stated at the Police Station
that the package contained $11,000 in
currency and $70,000 in checks but the
cashier of the same bank subsequently
modified the amount in checks to 37,000.
lhe latter statement is correct, making
the amount stolon $18,000.
The police were notified of the theft so
soon after its occurrence, aud have since
acted so earnestly in the matter, that the
robbers will probably be soon arrested.
and the stoleu funds recovered.
A reward of $1,000 has been offered by
the Bank authorities for the arrest of the
thieves and the recovery pf the property
