The supreme court , in the case of SImmerman vs. The State , on error from Kearney county , holds that ' 'a person may resist an unlawful attempt at arrest , and if necessary , rather than submit , ho may law fully kill the person making it. ' ' Hebron Journal : Last Tuesday night the dark-winged angel of death visited three homes in Hebron and left the Impress of his visit. Three hearts were stilled , and many beating hearts ache with pain at the thought of inevitable separation. Never before in the history of our town has any one period of twenty-four hours witnessed so many de partures "over the river to tv other shore. " A crazy man has been visiting Kear ney and the New Era says of him : "He imagi * " ) he is special /respondent of the New "Sork Herald and is endeavoring to have some lawyer commence suit against the Mexican government for imprisonment. Ho appears to be harmless , but sometimes these harmless lunatics do a great deal of mischief. " ( < Hubbell is laiy onorgh to be incor porated. S. E.

The steamer Jnlia , a small boat char tered to convey passengers for Providence via the fitonington line , attempted to enter Stonington harbor Simday morning and ran ashore , knocking a hole in her bottom tom and causing a panicamonga-large num ber of passengers. Many donned life pre servers and prepared to jump overboard. Order was restored , and by small boats and the revenue cutter the passengers were landed at Stonington. No one was Injured. The boat was badly damaged. The possibility of a European war is being closely calculated at the present mo ment by English ship owners. Orders have been lately received at San Francisco by sev eral captains of vessels that if the wheat charters they have been negotiating for are not closed , to refuse to proceed further ex cept at much higher rates , the calculation being based on a sharp advance in freights f In the event of war. There was an alarm of fire at , the Elm street school , Waterbury , Conn. , dur ing the session. Six hundred children rushed headlong down stairs in a panic. ' Many were knocked down and trampled on. One girl's collar-bone was broken ; another had an eye badly hurt ; a' third was insensi ( ble , receiving severe Internal in juries. 'Many others were' bruised.

The confession of Nelling , arrested a few days before for the murder of Ada Atkinson , was read to the excited multitude at Oxford , Ind. , Tuesday morning. Great crowds thronged the road to Lafayette to i meet the sheriff with his prisoner and lynch the latter , but the sheriff eluded them. An exciting scene occurred when Nelllng was removed from the court room to , the jail. Spectators rose and were or dered to eit down by the sheriff. They did not obey , but moved toward the prisoner muttering. He was taken out of the rear , 'door , which was Immediately locked and' . . the deputy sheriff announced ; that "no man leaves , the court room for. five minutes. " The sheriff placed Nelling In the most secure ' r cure cell'in the jail and went inside with a 'trusty ; well-armed force of eight men.- That night a mob of seven hundred gathered about the jail , but having no leader they were-dlspersed. ; , , , HI * Twp suspicious strangers ' giving jtbeir nameflos James Holmes and'willlam Brack- cits ; were arreste'd at Halifax Wednesday. In Holmes' pockets -were two revolvers , several cartridges , two dozen dynamite cartridges , a copy-of an Irish paper. In Brackett'b was a loaded revolver and dyna mite cartridges. Tn their room at the Par ker house were two valises , one containing ; forty pounds of dynamite , the other sixty. Their object is not known , but itis supposed they are either dynamite fiends or burglars. is said both were at Halifax at the time of the Fenian scare last spring , tli Maria McCabe , an unmarried girl , was sentenced to be hung at Hamilton , Ont. , for drowning her infant. , - . ' Particulars have been received of the suicide of Fred Rupert , a .prominent young > man of Elkhorn , Wis. It seems that some mouths ago Rupert had paid some atten tions to a Miss Montgomery , of that place , but for a time past he had been away from Pt town and had not seen the lady for a few 30 months , and on his return he found her ye tvalking with another young man , who had 95 previously paid her considerable attention. in Rupert approached the two as they were aking a quiet walk , and calling Miss Mont 20 gomery familiarly by name , said to her , sil "What does this mean ? " She replied that fn ihe supposed she had a right to walk with a Sti r'oung man if she chose to. Rupert then 9ft isked ! her if she had anything against him , 511 Then she replied , ' 'No. ' ' Rupert then re- ( XX leated the question , receiving the same an- . He then said " " iwer. , "Good-bye , and 'here ] goes , " at the same time placing a ilstol at his temple , firing , and falling life- ess at the lady's feet. Ft Edward Hovey was .hanged at New Ih Ifork on Friday for the murder of his sister- IhMi n-law , Mrs. Fanny Ver/nilge. Oi Margaret Harrison ( colored ) was lis langed at Calhouh , Ga. , the same day for Pr nurder. Tl James Stanley ( colored ) was hanged [ Columbus , Texas , on the same day for ' an murder'of Robert'Strickland , a white toy aged 16 , in November last. ' ' 6The > federal grand jury at Leaven- ° vorth on Thursday , found a true bill against , ' . L. Payne , better. , known' as Oklahoma ayne , for conspiracy to violate the laws of United States. Payne says he desires a1 peedy trial , and declares there is case against him. Everything in the Vi ray of preparation for entering the Indian sm erritbry and marching > to' Oklahoma had dis ieen heralded in many ways , and that he Se' nvariably notified the United States attor- sid iey , and asked him to interfere if he pro- pel losed t.q.when they reached the state line , air nd ( not wait until arriving at Ok'fahoma. n Mr. and Mrs. Jxgan , both oVer sev- nty years old , were attacked at their home , da wclve miles from Shelby , North Carolina , cm a negro burglar Saturday night. Mrs. bei jOgan was killed and her husband choked Ch .early to death. The negro escaped with the doliers. The charge of adultery against Sen- K tor Sharon , preferred by Miss 'Aggie Hill , laiming to be his wife , came up for hear- before Judge Lawler at San Francisco aturday morning. The defense waived all daj 3chnicalities to permit the prosecution to ma : reduce the alleged marriage contract.-JThe dia ocument was not produced nor was exist- Du nce of it admitted. Sharon's counsel tioi trongly denounced the whole business as a his illainous scheme , the contract as a fraud , of ! and forgery from top to bottom , and the implaint an outrage on public justice , and biefly so on the defendant , who was drag- the into court on a sworn charge of felony , clu when the case called the was prosecu- Sib abandoned it. The judge ordered the oth ' dismissed. The fact that the prosecu- tioi was unable or unwilling to produce the leged marriage contract , seems to confirm the public mind the original suspicion the matter was started to extort money bro om Sharon. a PI infi the WASHINGTON. . whi general , order from army head- larters promulgates the sentence of the A urt-martial in Lieut. Robertson's case , s ispendlng him from his rank and com- two and for six months , he to be confined to limits of his post , and be reprimanded general orders. The proceedings of the iurt are approved by the president , but the cou findings and sentence are disapproved , and Lieut. Robertson Is relieved from arrest and ordered to return to his duties. Robertson , it will bo remembered , was tried for dupli cating his pay accounts. Decisions were rendered by the su preme court of the United States Monday in five civil ' rights cases , based on the first and second' sections of the civil rights act of March 1st. They are respectively prosecu tions under the act for not admitting certain colored persons to equal accommodations and privileges in inns or hotels , in railroad cars and theatres. The court held that con gress { had no constitutional authority to pass the t sections in question under either the thirteenth or fourteenth amendments to the constitution. The decision , however , Is held to apply only to the validity in states , and not in territories or the District of Col umbia , where the legislative power of con gress is unlimited , so far as the statutes are concerned. The two sections of the law above referred to are declared unconstitu tional and void. Justice Bradley rendered the opinion , Justice Harlan alone dissent ing. General' Sherman has selected Cols. Tburtalo'tte and Bacon to remain on his staff when he leaves command of the army , and until he is placed on the retired list. It is reported that Postmaster Gen eral Gresham has promised' to revoke the dismissal of Paul Vandervoort as chief clerk of the Omaha postofflce , but with the un derstanding 'that he w'ill resign the place. In order that he may not suffer for the loss of the position financially Secretary Folger has tendered him the positin of special agent for 'the treasury 'department at Port C rbwnsend ; 'Washington territory. It is aimored that Vandervoortyill not accept this position , being too far away , but still ilemnmlfj a reinstatement.

"Suppose , " said Professor W. 1 * . Trowbridge ] , at a meeting of the acad- imy of science last night , "for the sake illustration , you should ti'aj a basin" f water and impart to it % . the hand rotary motion. Tiie ru , u will be hat the level surface of the water at est . will become concave , showing that he liquid is thrown off from the center motion in a spiral curve. If , again , ttstead of an ordinary basin one is ised which has a hole in the bosom , here may produced not only a rotary- notion ' but a descending spiral , the elocity of which at the center is so mft that a complete funnel is formed. "A similar principle actuates the cur- ents of air that meet in the formation tornadoes. The 'tifference between tornado and a cyclone is mainly one space. Oceans of air move in a yclone ; a tornado is a meru whirling olumn. The mechanical theory of * tie < two does not vary greatly. But in lie case of a cyclone it is possible predict its movements , while a rnadp forms so quickly that there is ttle time for anything except to seek ie cellar. An illustration by the rotary lotion of water is imperfect for the jason that air is subject to expansion nd contraction. The whirling atmos- heric walls of a tornado vortex are tade of air greatly compressed , while < inner space a chimney it may be illed is liiled with air that is not irefied. If it were not for the capacity the air to contain moisture , the irnado , no matter how swift its motion , ould be invisible. This moisture is mdensed in the form of clouds and by the lowering of the temperature id by compression. Both of these inses are present m the tornado , radically , therefore , a tornado is a hirling shell of water ready to burst henever it meets an object , as , for cample , a mountain , sufficiently large stop its rotary and ascending * otion. " Professor Trowbridge's paper was ustrated by an account of tornadoes at had been observed and by numer- drawings showing the variations of funnel-shaped cioud and the effects such i devastating storms.
