DEATH FROM MEDICAL MALPRAoTIcE.-About
three weeks since a young woman named Eliza
beth A. Cole, aged sixteen, residing at No. I64i
n. Seventh stree, stat ed 10 several friends that
she was in a situation unbecoming single
woman; This was said in jocular manner,
and nothing was thought of 1t. Subsequently
she informed female friend that she intended
TO have an illegal operation performed upon her
person; but her friend told her it was very
dangerous; that her life would be put in
jeopardy, and recommended her to take GER
tain medicine. She said she would do so, but
instead threw the medicine away. On tho Goth
inst she died. A poSt-nlortem examination was
made on the body of the deceased by DR.. Shap-
leigh, and although he would not testify posi-
lively That she had been illegally operated upon,
yet he was under that impression. The Coro-
ner's Jury rendered verdict of death from
medical malpractice

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, November l2.-Senor
Murrillo to day delivered his credentials
as Envoy from the United States of
Colombia. The usual complimentary
speeches were made.
The practice which has prevailed with
certain parties Of using for private pur-
poses envelopes stamped with signatures
of Government officials is to be termi-
mated by the application Of legal penal
ties against offenders.
According to a private letter received
from that quarter, it is proposed to sell
the islands of St. Thomas and ST. John
for four to FIVE million dollars in gold
the exact sum not stated. II is further
said an arrangement or treaty provides
that the sale is dependant on majority
of the inhabitants, which, lis supposed,
will be secured. NJ. Debiller, recently
Secretary of the Danish Legation, is
here awaiting the result Of the vote.
The Postmaster General transmitted
to the President, for approval, two postal
treaties recently concluded between the
United States and Switzerland and the
North German Union, including Prussia.
The attendants at the contemplated
prize fight arrested to-day were, after
reaching the city of alexandra, marched
into Jail. About twenty blacks were
among the number. The reading of the
law was called for by one person, by
which it appears that the riot act is re-
quired to be read before arrests can be
made, which was not done in this case
therefore, the military and civil author
tiles released the entire party, after a
course of lectures.

Ia- The Metropolitan Record of the
9th says: "Since the Nicholson wooden
payement was laid in Mercer street,
Broadway has been considerably relieved
by the transfer of carriages to the new

easier on horses aud vehicles than the
hard and slippery pavement of Broad

with wooden blocks instead of rough
cobble stones, and when the work is

The Terrible Explosion in Pittsburg-Grsat
Loss of Life.


PITTsBURG, November ga most ter.
rible and fatal accident occurred about
noon to-day, at the rolling mill Of Reese,
Graf & Dull, in Pitt Township, near the
city limits. The boilers in the forge por-
ton of the mill exploded, resulting in
the total wreck of that portion of the
mill, and in the death and serious injury
of many of the operatives connected
with the works. The scene at first was
one of horror and even to a late hour
this afternoon all is confusion, so much
so that it is impossible to transmit to you
a correct statement of the occurrence
About sixty men were employed in the
portion of the building where the explo-
sion occurred, but how many escaped is
unknown. So far as ascertained twelve
men we're killed, most of them instantly.
In one or two cases death did not ensue
until some time after the sufferers were
relieved from the wreck. Fifteen per-
sons, so far as is known, were wounded,
some of whom cannot recover. The en-
gineer was killed but the fireman, who
was standing near him, miraculously
escaped injury. One man was blown to
the bank Of the river, distance OF over
two hundred feet, and got up and walked
back to the mill not seriously injured.
The cause of the explosion will probably
never be known. There were three boil
ers together, all blown to pieces. The
boilers were comparatively new, having
been placed there in 1868, and were
made of the best iron. Half Of one was
blown out of the forge against an adj
joining brick wall, distance Of three
hundred feet The loss entailed by the
explosion will amount to ten thousand
dollars. The remaining portion of the
building adjoining theeforge was not in
jured, nor was any person employed
therein hurt-Dispatci Cincinnati

R6T There seems to have been far too
little concert of action among our friends
in Mississippi; q considerable vote OF
the whites being polled in some counties,
while in Others very few or no votes are
polled. If a convention could not have
been defeated by the fact of universal!
refusal to vote on the part of the whites
a few votes being polled may have no
very great Importance. But if it should
turn out that these votes furnished the
majority of registered voters required by
the law as necessary to convention,
the few white votes viii have the signal
and pernicious effect of carrying the
convention. Whether Conservative sue
cess now is desirable is another matter.
In Tennessee we thought it extremely
so in the election for Governor And
now it is generally conceded, that, since
the example of Tennessee Radicalism
has been so potent abroad, the compen'
sation is almost equivalent TO the injury
from tho Conservative defeat The end
is not yet, and we may hope the lesson
Of diabolism may be worth much to the
generations to come.

MONDAY, November lin the SEN
ate. introduced and referred, bill to
incorporate the 0vertou Hotel Company.
A bill to increase jurisdiction of JUS
tees of the Peace on notes of hand to
$4,000 and on accounts to $500, and to
increase magistrates fees one hundred
per cent.
A bill to exempt honorably discharged
soldiers from paying poll tax. A bill to
pay twenty-five cents each for killing
owls and hawks, vampires excepted.
In the House, a bill was referred TO
appropriate 100000 of the bonds of the
State to the Nashville and Decatur rail.
road.
Mr.. Taylor offered resolution to APP
point committee in behalf Of the body
to study law. Certain witnesses not
having been paid for their attendance
on the courts in behalf Of the State in
the earlier part of the war, the committee
is to study law until it reaches the point
of compensation; and if no such thing
can be found, then to bring in bill for
the purpose, which is TO be legal if the
researches of the committee lead them to
that point Of elevation.
A bill was introduced taking away
from the commander of the army and
navy of Tennessee the appointment of
Superintendent of the Capitol and
grounds, and also to enable the Sheriff Of
Franklin county to appoint a deputy,
which it is thought he will be able to do
with the help of the Legislature.
The grave and reverend body also has
before it under consideration the ques-
ton of letting Mr. Cross and Mr.. Hatfield
peddle, with free license, as much as
they please, to the adherence of ali the
aristocratic white shanties.
A bill was introduced exempting real
estate agents from the tax assessed on
brokers.
The bill regulating distribution of
estates, and the resolution favoring a
reduction of the tax on cotton, tobacco
and whisky, referred.
Resolution to adjourn December l6,
to meet the second Monday in Novem-
Der, was laid on the table.
On the bill to repeal the act Offering
$4,000 reward for Governor Harris, Mr.
BOwles objected his fear that the Cover
nor would come back If the offer was
withdrawn, aud that he didn't want him
to. But the power Of this pathetic elo-
quence seems to have been overcome by
the gigantic arguments Of Mr.. Ryder,
who threw in such things as readily as
lightwood knots, and with similar effect
somebody would get the $1,000 when
Governor Harris came back, and the
President would pardon and the State
lose the reward Mr.. Myers agreed with
Mr. Bowles, aud Mr.. Reeves agreed with
Mr.. Ryder, and Mr.. Brown thought the
State did not need Mr. Harris aud for
these cogent reasons the bin passed its
third reading.
