TERRIBLE AccIpENr.--.fno!Aes .1cfress
Dead.-Last evening the performances at

sudden close by the occurrence of most
painful and terrible accident. Manager

the first play. that heavy weight hai aeci-

fictiIig such a. wound as to place her life ia
imminent danger. He announced the ter
mination of that evenings entertainment
We repaired soon after TO the scene Of tho
catastrophe, and were informed that The
blow had killed her before she had time to
utter single word. DR.. Patterson, who
examined the wound, slated that the two
parietal bones, at the top of the head, were
badly fractured.
The weight which struck her is large

of iron, and used to balance chandelier in

some twenty or tweniy-three feet over the

The Washington Union of June 7th says,
for some days past rurnor has been rife TO
the effect that Mr.. Steuart, the Secretary of
the Interior. had authorized draft for for
ty thousand dollars for some purpose con-
nected with Minnesota Indians that the
draft was approved by Mr.. Corwin, Secrc-
tary of the Treasury and that MIR. Whit
tlesey, the Comptroller of the Treasury,
had refused to pay it. 1t was also ru.nored
tha, unpleasant words had passed between
Messrs. Steuart and Corwin, and Mr.. Whit
tlesey, relative to this transaction. The
publication of these rumors has called iron,
MIR. Whittlesey communication, which
we publish bellows 1t will be seen that the
communication does not in any manner de-
ny the difficulty relative to the forty-thou-
sand draft, as it only denies the unpleasant
words. We are therefore justified in be-
ieving that a difficulty did exist, and that it
exists now, unless the report he true that,
after a long cabinet consultation on Satur-
day, the Comptroller finally yielded, and al
lowed the,two Secretaries TO have their way

The foregoing, evidently relates to the
payment Of the Rice and Mitchell Winnie
bago removal contract but what the DIFF
.fcsaty is, exactly, is not explained Per-
haps our neighbor of the Democrat, who is
the organ Of Rice, Dodd, Hollinshead, C..
X. Smith, Mitchell, and the WinneLago
Fur Company in general, can explain the
matter more fully. Possibly Elisha Whit
tIesey doesSnot think it quite right for Gov
eminent to pay so per head; j. is too much
for the deck passage Of Winnebago Indians,
from Prairie La Cross TO St. Paul. and their
drift from st. Paul 10 Itasca, where they
were lff, several miles below the Winnie,
bago lands, to which the contract required
them to be taken, Mr.. Whittlesey may
think that 5000 per head, for such Win
nebagoes as were waiting upon the bank Of
the river, and anxious to be taken back
home, is more compensation for shipping
aud driving them up, than is "writtep down

The CUNARD LINE.-A correspondent of the
Courier and Enquirer states that when the steamer
Franklin arrived at Havre, the Cunard line put
down their rates of freight from $40 psr ton to $20
in order to choke off this new competitor. The
agent Of the franklin thereupon reduced his rates
to 1926 per ton, and at that rate took 26O tons while
the Cunarder took but "a packages. As soon as
the franklin was gone, the Cunard lne announced
that they should again charge $40. But as soon
AS the franklin was advertised second time at
Havre, the Cunard agent announced tha. be would
receive freight at $40, though that will hardly pay
for transportation to Liverpool. The agent of the
franklin met this by fixing his charges at $50, as
the lowest at which the business could be done
without loss

The Philadelphia Ledger says that Stephen
Girard's wife was made insane by his jealousy
and cruel treatment. The books of the hospital
show that Mary Grard was admitted an insane
patient the 2lst of August, 1890, where she died
on the 18Th September, 1915. Mrs. Girard's
maiden name was Lum. Seven months after her
admission into the hospital, she gave birth to a
daughter, who was baptized by the name of Mary,
and this was the only child of Girard who died in
its infancy. 1t is certain that sander pursued her
to her grave, and this sander was invariably
traced to jealous husband, who had married one
only too beautifu'.
