COllar-BOne Broken. -Messrs. Hamilton
Morton and Benjamin J. Green, both of
the First District, met with serious acct
dent, on Tuesday last, while on their way
to Elkton. On Back Greek Hill, their
horses became suddenly frightened and by
a sudden dash upset the carriage, throw
ing the two gentlemen violently on the
ground. Mr.. Morton was severely stunned
by the fall, but otherwise not much injur-
cd. Mr.. Green suffered much worse, hav-
ing his collar-bone broken. The horses
succeeded in getting away from their dri-
yer and ran off, making smash up of the
carriage, before they were stopped. The
gentlemen, although SO severely injured,
procured another carriage from Mr.. Car
pcnter, and came on to Elkton. DR.. Ellis
dressed Mr., GREEN'S shoulder.

AN INCIDENT OF THE LATE DIS
AsrER.-From Captain Dick Fowler
we learn the following thrilling incl
dent of the late terrible disaster near
Warsaw. Seeing a mother and daugh-
ter about to leap into the river as the
stern of the boat was swinging towards
the shore. he restrained their impetu-
ositv until the stern Of the boat had
swung near the shore. Each had a
life .preserver properly arranged. He
babe both leap into the river, which
they did, and just as he was about to
follow their example woman rushed
cut of the cabin upon the guard, when,
seeing him, she appeared to become
terrified, and rushed into a state-room.
Thinking that he might be able to
save her. he rushed to the state-room
door aud called to her, saying that ii
she would come quickly he could save
her. The room was full of smoke,
and he could see nothing. He called
her the second time, but received no
response, when the thickening smoke
and approaching fame drove him
overheard. The terrified woman was
lost. When he reached the shore he
found mother and daughter einging
to the willows, more dead than alive
They we're helped out and saved
This was one of many appalling Incl
dents of the disaster.

THE HIGH SCHOOL CONCERT.-The
spacious hall of the High School was
filed to overlooking last night, not
withstanding the horrible condition
of the street crossings leading to the
High School, and the want of gas
light by the way. tits estimated that
there were from five hundred and
fifty to six hundred people present.
The hall is by far the most elegant
one in the city, and was admirably
lighted up by the new chandeliers.
The stage was decorated with
evergreens, giving it a sylvan as
pect. The concert was really most
charming affair, Notwithstanding some
of the singers displayed manifest
timidity and embarrassment.
The beautiful cantata Of the Flower
Queen, or the Coronation Of the Rose,
was tho piece selected for the occa-
sion, and it was rendered in a man
ncr which would have done credit to
older and more experienced music
ians. We have not time or space tc
particularize. We think the audi
ence was highly pleased, as motion
to request a repetition of the concert
was unanimously adopted.
In accordance with this general re-
quest, the concert will be repeated to-
night, and we doubt not that the
Young musicians. gaining more conf
dence in themselves, will acquit them
selves with even more credit to-nigh
than on last night, and we hope to SEE
the magnificent Hall as we'll filled
Tickets of admission 90 cents, child
rem % cents.

THE OTHER STDE.-One side OF
story generally seems credible and
reasonable until the other is told.
The musical wanderers who were ar
rested on Thursday and let off be-
cause no one appeared against them,
told such a plausible story to the Re
corder, the City Marshal, and Chief
Of Police. and to our Reporter like
wise, that all were deceived, or at
least so it now appears. Their story
was, to some extent, corroborated by
the non appearance of the man at
whose request they had been arrested.
That gentleman, however, arrived
yesterday morning, and his story puts
quite another face upon the matter
His name is Lewis @. Nichoi. lie
says he was engaged by man named
Hascall, but who assumes the name
of Mons. II. E. Grau, to act as ti%kei
agent and Treasurer Of the minstrel
company.
As security that he would not run
away with the money he might re
ceive, he deposited 800 with Haseal
as collateral.
After serving two nights as tickle
seller and treasurer, he was sent GU
as advertising agent, and posted seVe
raj towns, but the troupe failed t
make good his appointments, bu
passed by them. making their wa.
towards the Ohio River, as if to leav,
the S ate. Learning of this, he tele
graphed here to have them arrested
but failed to reach here in time t.
prosecute them, they leaving on tn
Louisville shortly alter he arrives
here, and while he was consulting
lawyer. Other circumstances hav
been developed which tend to destro
faith in the honesty Of the party o
the first part, and to corroborate tn
story of Nicholi. This world is full
of swindlers, dead beats, and hum
bugs.

AH%LEcTURE. . The lecture of
Rev. BrA HIartiqSN Crescent City
Hall, last night, was but fairly at
tended. The lectlfer labored under
a severe cold, and as a consequence
did not speak long. The subject
The Religions, PHILOSOPHERS, and
Superstitions of the Chinese was
presented in a clear and forcible
manner, and throughout the lecture
was listened to with marked atten-
ton on the part of the audience. His
description of the trip to the tomb of
Confucius. and the Jewish colony,
though hurried, was quite interesting
and pleasing. The lecture, as far as
we heard an expression, was satisfac.
tory. At the close of the lecture
