A GALLANT CowHfDED BY WoNAN.-A sin
gular AFFAIR, which has given rise to good dea
OF scandal, occurred yesterday afternoon ii
Broadway. About II o'clock, handsome car
riage drove up to the curbstOne' 1t the corner
Of Morris street and Broadway, just above th,
Bowling Green, when fine looking young wo
man sprang to the sidewalk and collafed
gentleman who was passing He was apparently
very much excited, and attempted to release
himself: but she held him with an iron grip, and
drawing short, stout g0tta percha whip from
the folds Of her robe, dashed him over the head
and face without mercy. He rOared Justify. and
with desperate effort wrenched himself loose;
but she sprang after him again, and catching
him BY the skirts Of the coat, enew.d the cas-
| tigation. Every blow stung to the quick, and
brought up livid vale, causing the victim TO
yell and Writhe with pain, to the infinite Amuse.
ment Of large crowd Of bystanders. At length
her vengeance satisted, the lady gathered all
her strength for a finishing stroke, and ioosing
her hold, brought down her whip with force
that sent the unhappy gallant spinning along
the side walk. At the next moment she was in
her carriage and dashng up Broadway at head.
long speed. The unfortunate fellow hed in the
opposite direction, amid the jeers and merri-
ment Of the mob, and took refuge in the South

Broadway. Who the lady was our reporter
could not learn, nor why she had taken this
singular mode Of redressing her wrongs. lie
could only ascertain that she was very elegantly
attired il black, appeared to be young, and was
handsome, somewhat above the medium size.
and that she had followed the young man in her
carriage from the upper part Of Broadway. Her
vehicle was very stylish concern, lined with
blue satin. got up regardless Of expense, and
her coachman wore a Blue and silver livery.-
The hackmen in the vicinity were in ecstacies
with her horses, and declared that they we're a
pair Of spanking bays. nearly as high blooded
as their mistress. As to the recipient Of her
favots, it was variousy affirmed that he was
both tall and short but all concur in saying that
he was Of dark complexion, spare figure, and
well dressed; that he wore very stylish mus
tache, and was altogether what is termed "a
very nice young man. His name, however,
could not be obtained. After remaining in the
steamship Office all the afternoon, he left at the
close OF business hours, with the clerks exhib-
ting marks about his face that will require him
to keep shady at least for season.-New York
Tribune.
STRIKE or IRISH At HARTFoRD.-It has been
found necessary by the officers Of the Railroad
Depot ia Asylum street, to reduce the pay Of
the wOrkmen on the wood trains 20 per cent.
ard the laborers were offered, yesterday, so
cents day. A large force Of them-Irishmen
ail--Were ready to 90 to work at the old rates.
but they refused to submit to the reduction.
aud the result was that the = wood train YES.
terday was manned chiefly by Yankees, who
were willing to earn half-a-dOllar rather than
lie idle and earn nothing. To-day the wood
train was made up entirely OF Americans, most
OF them mechanics Of various trades, who have
the good sense to take job at half q dollar.
rather than do nothing Il Hartford Times, 7th.
IMPROVEMENT IN SfAIN.-Tables and state |
menis published in the Madrid journals, in re- |
ference to the Spanish census OF May last, show |
That the present population Of Spain is near /
I 100000; an increase OF about three millions /
'ince the census Of 1919. Some az the towns /
'how wonderful growth for an European I
country. The most rapid increase seems to be /
u tue manufacturing and seaport places, such
IS Saragossa, Valencia and Laego. This i'm
'royement in a country generally supposed to
y fastening to complete decay is said to be
wing chiefly to the railroads, the first Of which
vas opened in ls4s. Should the same enter
'rising policy be continued BY the Governments,
here is reason to hope that Spain will yet, in 4
'ood degree, revive the great reputation which
NEE belonged to her for the skill, activity, aud
'rOsperity Of her people. M
The ATLANTIC CABLE.-Active preparations
re making TO lay the Atlantic. telegraph cable
ext June. Four hundred additional miles of
able have been ordered, and If the effort to
ecover the $40 miles now submerged should
o. be succ sssiul, that amount also will be ad.
ed, SO that the length Of the cable will be
early 5000 miles. The British government
as signifed its intention to detach two vessels
rom the navy next year to assist in the work,
nd it u presumed that our government will
lso repeat the favor Of last year.
Prot. Morse has published a card saying that
e was mistaken in surprising that Mr.. Brett,
1e English engineer, ordered the additional
'nsion on the Brakcrs by which the cable was |!
roken. Mr.. Brett's statement is now that there
as no change made in The brakers at the time .
rof Morse has not withdraw his statement as
u. 4 n
rough the cable as the distance increased
at, we suspect, is liked fact, although the ,
nglish electricans Of tie Company preserve q
'o:ound silence on the subject.
