SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS IN THE FOURTH
WARD-A City Councilman Shot by an Ac-
treSs-She Attempts Suicide IN the Station
house.-A well-known member of the City
Council, Captain VIM. H. Glass, was shot
and severely wounded yesterday afternoon,
by an actress named Wright, who has been
playing at our theaters for several seasons
under the assumed name of Miss Hunter
II appears that an intimacy commenced be-
tween the parties six or seven years ago,
which continued without interruption until
about two months since, when Glass began
to be somewhat remiss in his attentions, and
finally told her that it was his intention to
abandon her. Since then she has frequently
in excited mood, visited his confectionery,
near the foot of Vine-street, once in male
attire; but he always succeeded in pacifying
her, until yesterday about four o'clock, when
she became so bOisterous that he sent for
some watchmen, who presently arrived,
and threatened to arrest her unless she went
away This she promised to do, but insisted
on going into the back room in the confec-
tionery to speak with g., which she was
permitted to do. On going near him, how
ever, she drew revolver and fired, the ball
lodging in Mr. Glasss chin, seriously fractur-
ing the iaw-bone. The woman, in a half
frenzied state was taken to the Pearl
street Station-house, where she swallowed Q
| quantity of laudanum, which at first threat
| ened to prove fatal; but with medical siC
and the proper remedies, she was removed
| from danger. After she had returned tC
consciousness, she inquired as to the nature
| of G. IS wound; regretting it had not proved
fatal, and that she had not succeeded in de-
stroying her own life.

Albany, September 23.-La Mountain, The
erOnaut met with serious accident on his
recent voyage from tifis city. He travelled
thirty miles In twenty-nine minutes, and In
attempting 10 land at East Lanesboro, Mass,
was caught In tornado and dashed against
a stone-wall, knocking him senseless but
breaking no bones. The basket rebounded
and was elevated to an equal altitude with
the balloon, thus clearing the wall. II was
then dragged along the ground at a fearful
speed, and coming in contact with a tree,
stripped it of its branches and tore the net
work of the balloon to atoms. 1t continued
its course some distance when it came in
contact with another tree, throwing Mr.. La
Mountain out, causing the balloon to collapse
and tearing it to tatters.
La Mountain was not conscious for near
half an hour, when he was found on the top
of q mountain by some men, who witnessed
his perilous descent. He was very badly
bruised and cut, but not so seriously injured
as TO prevent his riding to a farmers house,
where he remained twenty-tour hours, when
he returned TO Lansingburg, reaching home
last night. His escape from instant death
was most miraculous, as the balloon was
driving along at the rate of a mile minute,
when he was dashed against the stone wall
He says it was more fearful and perilous
descent than was made when he landed in
Jefferson County, on his trip from st. LOuis

ESCAPE OF Trio OF SLAvEs-Arrest of
One of Them, and the Brutal Treatment of
Deputy Marshal By the. Friends Of the Others.
A few months ago three slaves, belonging to
Messrs. Reed h Pollock, residing near Ger
mantown, Kentucky, escaped and located,
according, to the Cincinnati Enquirer, near
Iberia, Morrow County, Ohio. Warrants
were issued for their arrest and placed in
the hands of the United States Marshal, and
on Thursday he proceeded to the locality in
company with eight or ten men, and as the
negroes had separated, the posse was divided
into three parties the Marshal having given
his deputies and their assistants full instruc-
tions in regard to their manner ofproceedure.
Between seven and eight o'clock in the
evening the Marshal seized the negro for
whom he had retained the warrant, and after
walk of fourteen miles, placed him on
board freight train, and succeeded in reach
ing this city. An examination was had be-
fore Commissioner Nswhall, and his identity
being satisfactorily established, and the fact
| of his escape being proven, he was remanded
to the custody of his former master, and
taken across the river.
The deputies, however, were not as sue
eessful as their chief Neither succeeded in
securing their man, and one of them was
most inhumanly treated. Soon after show
| ing his warrant he was set upon by q crowd
| of negroes and white men, TO the number of
sixty or seventy, part of whom were armed
with guns and pistols. The negro was lib
Grated, and the person of the deputy secured
by the assaiants. His clothes were nearly
torn of, and, amid shouts and oaths, he was
beaten with clubs, to serve him, as the crowd
| said, ''as they treat slaves at the South" "
The warrant and all his money were taken
from him, and the mob endeavOred TO hang
him, but failed TO do so. They then extended
his arms and placed him as a mark for the
bullets of those armed with guns. The
deputy begged them to shoot him, rather
than torture him as they had done. Those
who were armed were drawn up, when the
word was given, "Ma6e readY--take aim
but, before the word "fre" was given, some
| one of the mob rushed in and begged them
MOTTO FIRE. The guns were dropped, and the
deputy was liberated from his uncOmforta.
Not satisfied with the indignity and pair
already inflicted, knife was sent for, anC
the hair of the officer was clipped close II
his scalp, and he was then turned loose (
make his way out Of the neighborhood
which he did with all convenient haste.
The second deputy also had very seriou
time in attempting to serve his warrant, bu
we are not as fully informed Of the particu
lars. A number Of the friends Of the negr
assembled, and when the officer attempted Z
arrest him, he was fred upon. The office
returned the charge, and shot of the finger
of negro, from one hand, but was eompelle
TO leave the ground without securing b
man. There was also Q rumor that tw
: men had been shot, bat we traced II 10 .

No wonder he felt i'll; most persons would,

The merchant, who is bachelor, said he

that he was missing all his meals.

A JUVENILE THEoLoGIAN-A Difficult Ques-

prise: "Dear ma, hope God hates me-"
"Hate you, my child" exclaimed the Or
thodox mother, half Mortified. "How can
you say so, darlingP Who taught you such
naughty thingp
"No one, dear ma; but when we were at
church this morning, the minister said God
ehastened-that means whip don't it2-every
body He loved; and didn't want Him to
love me, then"
"But why should you wish your Heavenly
Father to hate you, my preeious2" asked the
anxious mother, taking the juvenile theolo-
gian on her knee, and busting her affection
ately.
"Why, because if God don't like US when
we like Him, he must like those that don't

4 PROFESSIONAL PERSON IN DIsGUIsE-
Singular Circumstance at a Complimentary
observation-disclosures weeks since certain
professional person in this city, a very good
hearted fellow, but greatly addicted to the
"social glass and to maculate linen, was
rendered a complimentary benefit at one of
our public halls. During the evening he ap-
peared before the:audience, and was greatly
surprised and mortified to perceive that he
was not welcomed by the least show of ap-
plause. He began, however, his part of the
performance, and though he did it remarka-
bly, well, he awoke no enthusiasm whatever.
Some persons even began to hiss and cry
"humbug."
The performer paused, and stepped for
ward on the platform, with great indigna-
ton, to ask the meaning of this unwonted
reception. He had not spoken halEa-dozen
words, however, when he was received with
a burst of tumultuous applause, and for the
rest of the evening, he was a prime fayorite
with all.
The professional either believed himself
the victim of public caprice, or concluded
that his friends had played trick upon him
He learned the truth afterward. When
he first appeared, they thought him some
one else; indeed they fancied him an impos-
tor. AS one of his admirers told him, by
way of explanation and apology: Show the
devil could you expect us to recognize you,
when you were sober and had on a clean
| shirt2"
