ing. flate he has been at Muscatine, and

some very pretty trotting was done.

ONE OF THE DEFECTIVE FIRM OF CENTRE,
SEvERNCE & Co., IN JAIL FOR HORSE STEAL
ING-Bill Frazier, who claims to be a mem
Der of the detective firm of Centre, Severance,
Co., of Davenport, stole horse, few
days ago,at Durant, and is now in Muscatine
jail, awaiting his trial for the crime. The
Davenport Democrat says: "His chances
for paying heightened visit to Fort Madi-
son, and learning a good trade, by which in
after years he may earn an honest livelihood,
if he feels. disposed, are considered decidedly
fattering."
Bill is notorious burglar, pick pocket and
thief, who has several times been in the pc.
lice courts of this city, Davenport, and other
places, for vagrancy and petty crimes, but
has managed, hitherto,to escape punishment
for the higher crimes of which he is believed
to be guilty. He is the fellow who, for $500,
exposed the plot of his own gang of burglars
to rob Messrs. Bowles and Porter. And
now, being kicked out of the high society OF
which he was then member, he is reduced
to the detective business, and horse stealing
1t is hoped that Fort Madison will enjoy his
enviable society for several years.

Frlgh,FaI Accident at a steepIr-Chase.

The Montreal News lys that catas-
trophe occurred during a grand steeple-
chase held near that city, on the 9th.
Upon the western side of the course is
erected a heavy stand, capable of ac-
commOdating perhaps 500 spectators.
At least three hundred we're occupying
il whcl the whole of the front part
throughout the entire length gave way,
bringing down a great part of the peo-
pie upon it, and crushing beneath the
heavy debris all who happened to be at
the bar or who were standing on the
course Immediately before the front
wall. The timbers cracked and swayed
for moment before they fell, giving
the ready-witted ones a chance of
springing to the back part of the stag
ing which still remained firm, support
Ell by the rear wall aud two frai sup
ports ia front. A great number of per-
Sous were found to be seriously injured,
ahd one man has since died of his in
juries This mau proves to have been
noted gambler, of whom the News of
the following day says: 1.-The death of
Stewart was appalling from the circum-
stances under which he was summoned
10 another world. More than thirty
years since he kept an establishment
half restaurant, half gambling house
at the head Of St Denis street, where
many an unwary stranger was fleeced,
Stewart seemingly prospered. AID
figured prominently at all race matches.
He disappeared for many years, aud
only recently turned up here, broken
in health and impoverished in means.
Still the mania for gambling ching to
him. He attended the last Steeple
Chase meet, expecting a harvest. He
selected a most convenient spot for his
gambling tahle-beneath the stand, aud
When it yielded to the superintendent
weight, lie was crushed TO death with
the cards 10 his hands"
