DEATH IN A DIvING-BELL.-The New
York World of Saturday reports the follow
ing case:
Coroner Flavin held an inquest last
evening at 1917 Flatbush avenue upon the
body Of Peter Wilson, who came to his
death at the navy-yard on Thursday after
noon by being suffocated in diving-bell.
Deceased and a man named James Colgan
were engaged in clearing out the mouth OF
the sewer which runs into the water near
the dry dock. Both entered the diving-bell
and were let down to the bottom, from
which they were making preparations to
remove large rock. While engaged in
fastening chain around it, Wilson became
faint, and his companion, also feeling a
tainting sensation, pulled the check-rope,
and those above Immediately commenced
drawing up the apparatus. On reaching
the surface it was ascertained that Wilson
had fallen out of his chain seat and was
dead. Colgan was insensible. The diving
bell was we'll supplied with fresh air from
above, and the accident can only be &C
counted for on the supposition that the
fresh air was neutralized by the foul air
arising from the sewer below. A verdict
of death from suffoCation was rendered by
the Jury

was arrested on the down train OF cars yes

ting rape upon his daughter, Miss Katie
KEYS, few days ago. He was examined
before Justice L. B. Butler, and the evil
dence of his guilt being considered conclu-

conductor of the train, and delivered to the
authorities of Prince William. The young
lady, who is staying at the house of friend
in that neighborhood, made deposition,
which was read at the magistrates exami-
nation yesterday evening. Keys states that
the young lady who accuses him of the hor-
rid crime is insane, and probably was made
so by his refusal to allow her to marry a
young man who was counting her."

The ALLEGED PLOT AGAINST THE QUEEN.
1t is to be hoped, for the credit of manhood
generally, that the cable report of o con-
spiracy on the life of Queen Victoria, in
Switzerland, under Fenian auspices, is
without any real foundation. We agree
with the Baltimore Sun that if there be
anything in it all, we only suppose it the
project Of crazy and therefore irresponsi-
BILE indiv idual it is certainly not the under
taking Of any organization in the interests
OF the Irish people. 1t will be seen that
the British Government has no direct in
formation on the subject. AS n contempt
rary says, it is difficult to conceive that any
association of even pretended Christian
men could harbor the idea of numbering
a lady venerable not more for her royalty
of station than her faithful and exemplary
discharge, from early life, of her duties as
daughter, wife, mother, and English
matron.

"On the l4th instant Presley N. Rector,
ESQ, of this county, was killed at the house
of Mrs. S. c.. Myers, on South Branch near

Mclaughlin, son of Daniel J. McGlaugh-

was beaten to death, or, perhaps, killed in

hour of the morning-about sunrise-and
the only persons upon the premises at the
time were some servants. The young man,
twenty three of twenty-four years old, is
and has been for some time past supposed
to be insane, and the inoffensive and
friendly disposition of the unfortunate de-
ceased would have indicated him for the
very last man to have fallen the victim of
this cruel and unnatural death. Mr.. Rec
tor was probably over seventy years of age,
and the feelings of this community, in
which he long lived and was SO favorably
known, were greatly shocked by this terri
bic tragedy. The young man who perpe-
trated the deed is now in Jail in Moorefield,

preliminary examination after the finding
of the coroner's jury" ...-

4 Man WHO STOLE HIS FATHERS
ToMBsToNE.-Most people hereabouts know
of one William Birk, and not much, how
ever, to his advantage. His father died
several years ago, and left him quite an
estate. He was declared incapable of man
aging it from moral obliquity, and he was
placed under guardianship. He is naturally
" confidence man." and where he is not
known personally, plays his games with an
adroitness that his victims usually remem-
Der. We had heard nothing Of him for
some time till last week, when he reminded
our staid community that he was still him
self. He wanted to raise the wind, and
concluded that he would steal his fathers
tombstone from the Catholic cemetery and
sell it to the marble-cutters. The stone
was very thick one, of Italian marble,
and by cutting down to thinner measure
might still be of value for another monu-
ment. So he told teamster that the old
tombstone of his father had been broken,
and q new one put up, and engaged him
with his team to 60 to the graveyard and
haul the old one away. The teamster fol-
lowed, Birk going a little ahead, and by the
time the latter had got there, Blrk had
broken off the stone where it entered the
socket, and was ready to help load it up.
The teamster soon saw how the matter
stood, and turned in and gave Birk
thorough pounding. His face was badly
cut. Birk went to his guardian with
a pitiful story; they got the fellow
arrested, and Justice Marheld fined
him five dollars and costs. The matter
could not rest here. The teamster considered
himself unfairly used all around, told the
whole story, caused Birk's arrest under
statute that applies to cases of such mutila-
ton of graveyards, and he is now in jail in
default Of $500 bail, for which hew bound
over to the Circuit Court. His guardian,
when he found out the truth of the matter,
WAS the foremost man in having Birk pun
ished.-Galeno (IH) Gazette, Augstst H..

soutb CaroIiua Finances.

COLUMBIA, S. c., August 24.-The Re-
publicans deny the recent Geographic re-
ports that the Legislature proposes to repu-
diate any class Of the State bonds or seize
the assets of the State bank, pledged to pay
them. The explanation of the matter is
that the Legislature of 1865 appropriated
the assets of the bank to pay foreign bond
holders, thus depriving bill-holders of their
prior claim. The present bill reverses
that action and protects the bill-holders as
creditors of the State.
