FATAL Accidental couple days ago,
w published a despatch ON Louisville CIV
ing brief account of fatal accident there.
The Journal of Tuesday gives the f. flowing
details:
Three men, in the employ of Dir. Fillion,
stone cutter, were ipitated from the roof
of the fve-story building OF Mr.. Bastard
now in course Of erection, on Main str ct,
about 2 O'clock. One of them, named G o.
Schu eieer', was instantly killed, AMI the
other two, named Joseph Schall and VIM.
Absalom, were SO seriously hurt that they
cannot survive the injuries. They were all
Germans and none o. them have families.
These men with three others were on the
roof hosting block Of stone, when the
iron broke and three lost their balance. A
fourth was saved by being caught by one OF
the remaining men.
The above appeared in the Bulletin OF
last evening. Ansalom has since died.
Scha was conveyed TO the hospital, and we
understand his physicians entertain hopes
Of his recovery.
The Bulletin made a mistake in stating
that the accident was caused py the break
ing OF rope. The rope did not break, bu,
piece of iron connected with the hosting
apparatus was defective and troke. No
blame can be attached to Mr.. Fillion.

Unexpected Libera,i:y.

The Signal, published a, Joliet, H., Is res
ponsibe for the following:
we heard funny anecdote the other day
of certain Esquire, which happened IN a
neighboring tow. II seems that religious
congregation of that town wished to employ
a pastor, but after every member of the soci-
ETY. had given all he felt able to, there was a
deficiency, and our friend the Esquire, tho
accounted an infidel, yet was known 10 be
liberal and generous, and it was proposed he
should be asked to give something. But no
one being willing to ask him for subscrip-
ton, the minister volunteered himself to
present the psper 20 him. He did SO aud was
surprised to see the Esquire subscribe $50 -
He ventured TO intimate it to him, aud re-
marked tina; such liberality was unexpected
from one believing az he did. The Esquire
replied that he gave it cheerlully, and in turn
said all he asked of has pastoral friend was
that he should "give the sinners Of that town
perfect h-l,for they richly deserved it, We
did not learn how far the minister fulfilled
the Injunction.

We have alluded in another article to the
fremen's levee or festival to be given next
Thursday, the 2sth inst. 1t will be held at
Crescent Hall, by far the finest and largest
hall in the city. The managers are making
extensive and splendid arrangeme nts. and it
will undoubtedly be the finest thing of the
kind ever given in Evansville. An excel
lent band o. music has been engaged, and
one Of the best caterers in the State will
provide the supper. We would here say to
those abroad who wish to attend this festival,
that there will be q deduction of IS per
cent. on the railroad fare, to those who come
by that route to attend the levee. Those
who purchase a ticket, will be entitled to one
share in Winters splendid $500 painting.
Look out for your tickets, and purchase lib
orally.

NJ The Evansville Journal is irving to

0T The Evansville Journal is trying to
convince the public that the Ohio river is a
humbug, and that it's cheaper to ship freight
via Railroad. Certainly it's humbug-a
great stumbling block in the way OF the pros
perity of our sister city. Crowd business on
the railroad, gentlemen-makei il rich enough
to chalk editors hats Vim. Gasufte.
We are trying TO crowd business on The
road, and are glad to understand that the re-
marks TO which the Gazette alludes, have
called attention to the advantages Of the
road at the preseat time for receiving freights
from Cincinnati. The Ohio is not much TO
bragg of just at this time, but We think II the
editor OF the Gazette could step down here
about "next rise," and see a dozen big boats
at the wharf loading and discharging freight
passengers running to and fro, drays rafting
and all the noise and confusion Of little
New York, he would come to the conclusion
that if the Ohio is humbug. it is tremen
dous one 1t is one of those humbugs which
make:the fortunes of those who receive theiI
advantages.

THE DAYTON GAZETTE, of Friday, says:
"As Conductor briggs train on the C. H. g.
ID. R. R., was coming up yesterday evening
it was met just below Jones' Station, by
hand-car, propelled by three IIishmen, all Of
whom were under the influence of liquor.
The engineer sounded the whistle and slack
ened the speed of his train. but the steam
was up , in the hand-car, and on it dashed
with undated speed, til it came in COLI
sion with the pilot of the locomotive. iu
the unequal contest, the hand-car was COM
pletely smashed. the lrishmen thrown into
the mir, and one Of them instantly killed.

II is reported that F. ]. Grund, Wa,h-
ington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
Philadelphia Ledger, and formerly Of the
New York Herald. has been appointed Con-
sui at Nurseries, France. We believe he is
Prussian by birth, and Swiss by profess
sion Lou. Dem.
The Democrat unquestionably character.
ICES Mr.. Grund correctly in calling him a
"Swiss by profession" He has been at
Washington City great many years as a
correspondent OF one sof the Baltimore pa
pers, and, during all that time, he has had a
far & eater and more general notoriety as a
mere unprncipled mercenary than any one
else of the whole vast multitude of sciib-
bers at the Capital. He has considerable
talent and shrewdness, but we do not sup
pose, tn Z, with all his impotence, which is
unparalleled, he has the impudcnce to pre-.
tend to have the slightest regard fer political
principle. Yet this man, it seems, has the
appointment Of Consul at Marseiles. What
apology can there be for the appointment OF
sach man TO such place? Must not the
administration have Lad a far better oppor-
tunity than even the editor of the Louisville
Democrat of knowing that this "Prussian
by BIRTH is a"Swiss by profession" And
how much better, if any. is an administration
that deliberately confers office and honor
upon "Swiss by profession" than the
Swiss himself?
There are certain appointments which an
honest and conscientious administration
cou d not possibly make. That of Grund is
such one Lou. Jour.

w aPT-boat Su NIX.

We learn that T. ]. Wood g. Co.'s large
Wharf-bo boat was sunk at Cairo several days
ago, and the water is over its lower deck:
overlooking. Among other freight on her
were 1000 sacks salt. The wharf boat was
very large one, being the hull and cabin OF
the Patrick Henry, and last summer was en-
tirely repaired and renovated. We are sor-
~ to hear of her sinking, as her principal
proprietor we know to be first rate man,
and he was doing good business.

Rather Singular.

We learn from friend, that an old gen.
tleman aged sixty.ive years, was married a
few days ago, in Knox county, this State, to
his siria wife, and he has only married flee
women! His first wife is his last wife, and
she is now in her forty-f year. She has
been married three times, and her first bus.
band is her last husband. We hope they
have now met 10 part no more. Success to

FRIDAY MORNING :::::::::::::DEC.
Fires abroad-Fires at hOme-The Nrp.
tune Company.

The reaeers Of our telegraph dispatches
must have BEEN astonished at the gre
number of fires which have ed in
Eastern cities within the last week. Yes
terday. we published dispatches Of FIRE at
New, York, following the great one at Phila-
deiphia. At the New York fire not only
were some splendid houses destroyed, but five
or six men were killed, and several ladies'
missing. Five fremen were killed while in
the gallant performance Of their duty.
Speaking Of these fires, reminds US that
our own city is very deficient in protection
against this terrible danger, threatening US
every moment. and which may .overwhelm US
when least really expecting it. We have
but two engines in the city, and they are
but apologies for engines at the best. With
such apparatus, it is a wonder that any or
ganization has been kept up at all Of late
years. firemen, to be active, efficient and
spirited, should have fire apparatus in which
they can take proper pride, both in Preserv-
ing and working. Two good engines with
the proper hose accomplishments, and two
strong companies to use them, would be
enough for the present protection OF our city.
There would be that spirited emulation or
rivalry, which might accomplish wonders in
times Of danger.
Of course, we can get but one at time
We are glad to perceive that the Neptune
Company are now in the field, and intend

time. to be economical in all their arrange
ments, while al the same time they will have
splendid entertainment in every particular
We shall have more to say on this subjec
before the Levee is held. In the mean time
we wish citizens to reflect upon the urgen
necessity of an improvement in our fire de-
partment, and be prepared to exhibit pro
per liberality next Thursday evening.

DAN h.,E LODGING The LlCENSE,-Dan
had quite an exciting time at memphis
doging the heavy license imposed on circusi.

the ftspwing account of his artful lodging;
The had great time and lots of fun and
excite, It at the Hippotorean last night, as
we le,,,mfor we were. not there. After the
audie 'arsad assembled, and before the per-
formai<-e commenced, Dan Rice came out
and announced that every body might GO to
the box office and have their money refunded,
as the show for that night was q free thing.
(The sagacious reader will at once preceive
that this was but ruse Of the cunning Dan
to avoid paying small amount of SS5-
charged by the city as tax OF circus exhibit
tons OF course the enlightened and liberal
people didn't want to see the show without
giving guid pro quo, md accordingly nobody
applied at the box Office TO ha,e his money
refunded. Dan nevt rtheless had an under.
standing with the audience that it was free
thing, whether they wanted their money
back or not. Ii they didn't take il back, he
considered il present, and was accordingly
grateful, &c, &c, and the performance
commenced. But pretty soon deputy sheriff
entered the screen room" and attached
Monsieur Franconi's trained horse "John-
ster," holding him in custody for the aforesaid
SS5. Again Dan appeared and asked il
there was any gentleman present who would
60 his security for SS5 ill after the conclu-
sion Of the performance. At least twenty
responsible gentlemen expressed their readi-
ness to do so, and "Jobnsier'' was released
| from the clutches of the law. Further than
this, an enthusiastic admirer of the great
clown carrei round hat and collected a
pretty large pile-some say S20o-to pay
the license. After this Dan was in high
spirits, and cut more Fantastic tricks before
high heaven" and said more funny things
than ever clown cut or said before.
We supposed suit between the circus
and the city will grow out OF this affair-i'
being question whether license can be
legally charged on free exhibition.
