Co-oPRRATIvE DINING RooMs.-The New
YORK Sun suggests the propriety Of establish
ing public eating houses on the CO. operative
plan, as the only remedy fer the extortion now
SO commonly practiced on the public. The
editor tells us:
"TAis idea II about to be carried out in Lon
don. and an association has been formed for
ltminaries. The grand object of this ass ,sociation
is to obtain supply Of good food at moderate
price. The chief movers in the matter are
members OF workingmen's club but the
benefits Of the proposed arrangement are to be
open to all. They are not over sanguine of
remarkable success, but they very reasonably
conclude that by avoiding all extravaganza,
by renting or buying houses of moderate
pretensions. and hiring their own cooks,
walters, and managers, they cannot fail to
effect considerable saving They have already
gone 60 far as to purchase two large build
ipgs, one capable OF dining from 5000 to O,OOO
persons day, and the other about half that
capacity, both in good aud central situations.
This shows that they are in earnest, and that
the experiment will be fairly tried on q large
scale. Ifsueh establishments succeed In Eng.
are much less than here, why should not sim
liar enterprises prove even more successful
in this city! Many thousands Of young men
are compelled every day to ta ke or more meals
away from their homes, and they m ust either
pay extravagant prices for them or be content
with very Indifferent and unwholesome fare
One good cooperative dining establishment,
In central part Of the city, would have a very
beneficial effect on the existing restaurants and
eating houses, by breaking up the monopoly,
and showing what might b. come the rule in
stead of the exception If more consideration
were not speedily shown for the wants and
purses OF hungry public"

She referred to the execution Of Ruth BIay,
which occurred at Portsmouth. N. H., Dec. 30,

school teacher of Mrs. Eastman when the lat

through illness, Ruth Blay was absent, and
the children were all at play. Mrs. Eastman
said she found a loose board in the school

LY INJURED.
A young lady met her death and several
persons were more or less cut and bruised,
yesterday morning, by one Of those accident Is

which pass Gown steep grades with heavy
loads. The accident yesterday morning oc.

Atlantic street towards the ferry with thirty

erAhle force bad 10 be used on the brake to
check It's speed. When reaching the corner of
Hicks street, however. the brake ave way, and
the car being entirely loose, it's motion became
very rapid. The conductor tried in vain to
check it's progress with the brake on the rear
platform, and called upon the passengers to
assist him. All the strength they could apply did
as well as the for " ard bra he had broken or was
out Of order. The passengers soon bee anne
thoroughly aware OF their perilous position,
and the greater the velocity OF the car the more
terrified they became. The horses were not at
frat detached, and the car ran upon their heels
causing them TO kick and dash forward in q
loosened, probably through their Kicking and
plunghng, and the car, uncontrolled, went
down the grade faster than steam could have
taken TAX It. Some Of the passengers jumped from
nactty only possible when death seemed to
them inevitable, while others shrIeked to the
top OF their voices. Those who jumped from
the car were less fortunate. A young lady
named Miss Emma Leiding, residing In Iath
street, near Sixth aveI ue, was among sev veral
who jumped off. The motion of the car was so
great that she was thrown violently upon the
cobble stones, and sustained q fracture OF the
skull. She was picked up, and died while
being conveyed TO the Long Island Col-
lege Hospital, which is but short dis.
tance from the scene of the accident 9th.
ers who jumped off were badly b-uised,
but not seriously injured. The car was but
few seconds in reaching the foot of the hill a
distance Of about six blocks. The track at this
pointpasses from Allan tic into Forman street,
but the car was going with too great force to
follow 1t, and ran off, striking an awning post
on the opposite Of the street, which it smashed
TO spliDtere, and then landed upon the side
walk, throwing the passengers in promiscu-
ous heap upon the floor, the platform. and the
street. Doubtless greater number would
have been killed outright or fatally injured
but for the fact that the crowd in the car was
SO great thar 1t was almost impossible for them
to move. One man had bis hand terribly cut.
and several Others were bruised, but they ali
considered themselves extremely fortunate to
escape with their lives, and withoutauy kroken
bones. The car was pretty well smashed up.
The top was broken off, and it was other wise
shattered. The coroner empanelled a Jury
yesterday afternoon, and viewed the body of
Miss Leiding. The inquest will probably be
held on Monday y Herald. Saturday.

Arrest Of q Would he Murderer, Suicide

Frank E. Babcosk, of Cincinnati, who At
tempted TO murder woman and then TO COM
NIT suicide in Boston few evenings since,
turns out to have been robber Of S2,U0a from
the Merchants Union Express in Cmcinna Att,
and 1t was this m oney which he was sporting,
on in Boston. When the Massachusetts au-
thorities get through with him he VIII be taken
to Ohio.
The Boston Post gives the following sequel
to this tragedy

epistles-one to his mother in Cincinnat. and
the other to friend in this city. concerning
the disposition Of his private effects. These
letters, after the occurrence, fell INTO the pos

destroyed. However, as they were botn brief,
and were read by all the inmates Of the house,
they were easily remembered. The first to his

and chain and pair of studs from my pants

Both letters were carefully enclosed within
one envelope, which was superscrrbed thus
"Frank do not let them Id women beat you
out Of one cent"
In relation to the history OF the parties prior
to the singular denouement, it seems that the
previous dcQ aintanceship between them had
existed more than q month After Babcock's
first meeting with the girl, who passed by the
name Of Mary Clifton while stopping In Alden
street, he went down to Maine with her, ana
they spent week together at Miss Blake's ia
