Accident at Niagara Falls.

BUFFALO, July PAN accident occurred
on Goat Island, Niagara Falls, this after
noon, near the Biddle Stairs. A carriage
containing the wife of Capt. Webster and

fall. The ladies were lodged in trees. One

A DIscRAcEFUL AFFAIR.
A Military Officer Assaulting a Saloon
Keeper TO Force him TO Aciknowl-
edge Himself Secessionist-.
New Way to Pay Old Debts.

An assault was committed upon Mr.. G.
A. Wagner by Major johnson on State
street yesterday afternoon, which was par
ticularly disgraceful to the latter individual,
and to the uniform he wears. Major john
son is member of Major General Heintzel-
mans staff, rather ''fancy" in his manners
and fast in his habits. He gave grand
and costly supper several months ago to'a
number of his fellow officers, which was
gotten up at Wagner's popular restaurant,
the proprietor of which was requested to
spare no care or expense on this occasion.
The repast was disposed of and proved en-
tirely satisfactory to those who participated
The bill for the same was not very promptly
liquidated, however, but the Major evaded
it whenever presented. Wagner finally
sold it at discount to another gentleman
who frequently deals in military paper in
this way.
On the bill being again presented to john
son for his Endorsement, he called ut Wag-
ner's yesterday afternoon in rage, and
abused him roundly, calling him a traitor,
sympathiZer, secessionist, and variety of
unpleasant names. He finally demanded
that Wagner should sign a receipt for the
amount, with an acknowledgment that he,
Wagner, being secessionist and sympa-
thizer, believed officers of the United States
army were not to be trusted. This Wagner
declined to do, stating that it was a false
hood, and would be a SANDER upon himself
to put his name to such document. There
upon Major johnson struck Wagner, knock
ing him down three times, inflicting a dread
full scar over his right eye and breaking the
bridge of his nose. He would have gone
further and knocked his victim down the
cellar-way but for the interference of Mr..
Sparrow, who Glanced to come i'm at the
moment, and one of the clerks. Wagner
rushed behind the bar to get his pistols and
would doubtless have shot his assailant had
he not been prevented by the bystanders.-
Major johnson, after this signal triumph,
walked off.
What makes the affair peculiarly dis
graceful, is the difference between the
weight and stature of the men. johnson is
a powerful six footer, and will weigh about
two hundred, while Wagner is a small man,
an invalid, weighing about one hundred
and thirty, and who has recently been ex-
tremely feeble in health. The injured party
declined to have his assailant arrested for
the assault. The affair created considerable
excitement on the street, and the conduct
of the officer was commented upon in terms
the reverse of complimentary.
