morning. at ii i-2 o'clock, Captain DmKs, ac
companed by Officers SMITH, DiLEER, and VA,
Corr, entered the house No. 81 Bond street
and after arriving at the room occupied by
Mrs CUNNINGHAM, informed that lady that
she had to 60 to the Tombs She said she
was unable to 60, and the officers said they
would provide carriage. This was done ac
cordingly.
HELEN was in the room with her mother
and on hearing the order for her removal Civ
en-, she went out and gave information to Miss
AUGUSTA, who came in, and on seeing how
matters stood, fell on the floor In a flt. DR..
SMITH, of s. Bond street, was Immediately
sent for, and prescribed for the lady, and in
the meantime the mother was conveyed to the
Tombs.
All was done quietly and no excitement oc-

discretion and judgment in the matter and all
exposure was avoided. AUGUSTA remains dan.

DIsTREss1NG CAsuAIIry.-A very distressing
affair occurred at the Franklin House, in this
place, on Thursday last About o'clock a
bright fash followed by screams, was observ-
ed as coming from the room occupied by Mrs.
Sourbeck and her family. A number of per
sons Immediately proceeded to theroom, when
it was discovered that it was all in blaze.
The persons at once proceeded to put out the
fire, when it was discovered that Mrs. Sour
beck was burned in shocking manner. 1t
appears that one of her little girls undertook
to light fluid lamp, and the cap, not being
tightly screwed on, fell off, and the fluid ignit-
ed and set fire to some clothing on the floor
Mrs, Sourbeck attempted to extinguish the
flames, when her own clothing caught fire
she Immediately retreated to an adjoining room
where there happened to be tub of water
stonding, but before she succeeded in arresting
the flames was burnt very badly. Mrs. Sour
beck is in very critical condition. Bellcfonte

A TRAGIC AFFArR-Female Jbaleasu al
IVork.-John Ellis, late policeman in Gin
cinnati, and his wife some months ago mutual
ly separated. Recently, however, Mrs. T.
became jealous, because of his intimacy with
a girl named Anderson. The Gazette says
that on Wednesday she met the girl, and by
threats compelled her to accompany her to the
room of Ellis, where he was sitting with his
coat off. Coming steathily behind him, Mrs
Z. drew large carving knife from under her
mantel and plunged 1t some four inches into
his back, between the shoulder blades. She
then went down the stairs speaking not
word, and the girl, greatly alarmed, followed
her in equal silence
Ellis soon descended to the street, and pro-
ceeded to the upholstering establishment of
his brother Robert Ellis & Co., 1873 Syca-
more street, but before he reached there his
wife came up again and once more attempted
to stab him, and was only prevented by the
brothers wrenching the knife from her grasp.
He is very dangerously wounded, but refuses
to have her arrested
