The CASE or ATTEMPTED sUIcIpE.-0n
Monday evening last a young lady. from
/ Buckingham county, Virginia, hy the name
Of Emma G. Layne, arrived in Baltimore BIZ
the 9 As train, and took rooms ct one of our
hotels. She was in pursuit of one Benjamin
F. Cleveland, whom, she alleges, under an
engagement Of marriage last January, in
Virginia, had taken advantage of her love
for him, and caused her to be in a very NOR
tifying and embarrassing condition. On
Tuesday morning she succeeded in finding
her seducer at his boarding house, on Sharp
street. He met her kindly, promised inn
mediate marriage, and told her to be of good
cheer, all would be well in few hours.
Believing he was honest in his intentions,
she, at his request, separated from him, and
never saw him again. Night approaching,
and. receiving no word from her be-
trayer, she, under advice, procured war
rant for his arrest on the charge of
breach Of promise, seduction, and deser-
ton. It was then ascertained that he
had fed the city on one Of the evening
trains Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad,
thus leaving her in her unfortunate condi-
ton, in o strange place, without friend or
dollar. Driven to madness by this unex-
pected change, the poor girl retired to her
room OF the hotel, procured on ounce of
laudanum, which she swallowed at one
dose. Herdeath would have inevitably fol-
lowed but that her groans led to the dis
covery Of her condition. DR.. T. Clay Mad
dox was speedily called in to her assist
ance. He found her in an almost dying
condition, but by active treatment succeed
ed in saving her life. Miss Layne is o
beautiful girl, eighteen years old, and evil

for her immediate relief has been done.
The following facts in reference to the
hasty departure from Baltimore of the
young man Cleveland have since been as
certained:
On Tuesday morning, as soon as he found
his victim had reached the city for the pur
pose of forcing him, E" if need be-" to fulfil
his promise of marriage, he settled up with
his employers and with his landlady, erased
his name from his trunk, had his face

The CHICAGO PLATFORM AND THE FL

US if we think that the committee who pre-

thing more than our mere opinion. a dis
cassion between the New Haven Register

out the fact, admitted by the Republican
paper, whose editor had first-rate oppor-

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN DORCHESTER
COUNTY MURDER AND SUIc1DE.-The
Cambridge (Md.) Democrat and Herald of
Wednesday contains the following particu-
lars of o terrible tragedy:
On Monday evening last about 6 o'clock
Shadrach Bell, a farmer living on one Of
Colonel James Wallace's farms, located
about two miles from Cambridge, met his
death OF the hands of William Z. Rock, u
young man lately married, who was en-
ployed by him.
From all we can learn, it appears that a
difficulty occurred at the supper-table be-
tween Bell and Rock, the wife Of the latter
running out of the house, through fear, be-
fore any blows were struck. One Of the
two men, during the melee, procured On
axe from the wood-pile, and this weapon
was fearfully used by Rock, the dying
words of Bell (if they are to be believed)
showing that he was struck more than q
dozen times with the murderous iron.
The contest resulted in the disabling Of
Bell, who was afterwards found by the
brother of Rock and Mr.. G.. w. Squires
(whom the younger Rock went for after the
fght) lying by the side of o fodder-stack.
He was in dying condition, and insisted
that "John thereby meaning Rock
had struck him q dozen times with the axe,
and dragged him there. He was taken into
the house, and John Rock CAME to Cam
bridge after physician. DR.. Chubb went
out, but his services were of no avail-the
case was hopeless. Bell died in an hour or
two.
We visited the house where the homicide
took place. Evidences Of most terrific
encounter were visible on all sides-the
walls were despatched with blood, and two
or three small pools crimsoned the floor.
| On a mattress in the middle Of the room
lay the dead body of Bell, his head, face,
arms, wrist, back, and sides horribly
| bruised and cut. A more shocking sight
we never witnessed.
Rock was arrested on Monday night, and
committed to Jail by Justice Winterbottom,
| who on Tuesday morning summoned jury
of inquest, which, after hearing the testi-
mony of the examining physician and two
other witnesses, was adjourned until 3
o'clock in the afternoon, news having reach
! ed the Justice that Rock, the perpetrator OF
the homicide, had ended the dreadful affair
by hanging himself in Jail. .
Both parties being dead, the world will
never be appraised Of the origin Of the
| trouble. ,1& h

Tragedy among Austrian Nobility.


No sensational novel Of the times has
blessed its admirers with so picturesque
and fascinating vision of aristocratic
crime as illuminated the dock of the High
Criminal Court of Austria when, on the
morning of the Ed April, 1865, Julie, Ba-
roness Ebergenyi, was led forth from her
prison for trial. Escorted by medieval
man-at-arms clad in clangor of shining
mail, this charming criminal appears be-
fore us in the records of her case type to
make the fortunes of twenty circulating
libraries. Her portrait is painted for us
in this captivating style:
"She is twenty-six years OF age, grace
full, and of elegant toarnure. She has q
youthful but energetic face, Of winning and
sweet expression. Without being beautl-
full woman, everything about her denotes
refinement and her pure extraction +; for she
comes of one of the most aristocratlc OF
Hungarian families. Her hair is profuse,
and of o soft yellow shade. Her hand is
small and exquisitely gloved. She had as
sumed the dress she wore at the time of her
visit to Munich, during which the deed was
perpetrated-a black silk robe, lightly trim
med with white a pelisse Astrakan, and
small travelling hat, with peacock feather.
Her pendants and brooch were death
heads of ivory mounted in enamelled
bronze; and her air of distinction and girl
ish mein were in conspicuous and painful
contrast to the savage spikes and grim as
pect of the murderer's dock"
Such as we see her, this lovely lady, un-
married, and q "noble canoness of Brunn,
in MoraYia, had contracted o close init

COLONEL WrTHERs's SPEECH AT KEN

Kenmore, Major Lacy introduced g Colonel
Robert =. Withers, the white mans candi-
Gate for. Governor" who for nearly two
hours held the earnest attention of the
audience to the most thorough, clear, and
complete dissection of the proposed
Constitution we have yet heard. We do
not propose to report even the substance of
his speech to-day. Describing first the
scallawags, the carpet-baggers, and the
negroes, who made this Constitution, he Get
forth, with honest and earnest common
sense, the exact meaning and results of
their work. He showed what changes it
would make in our suffrage, our juries,
our militia, our taxes, and then ex-
hibited the working of its mixed
schools and homestead exemption, in their
terrible oppression upon the poor man
especially. He urged vigilant attention at
the polls when the vote was taken, and was
eloquent especially when he declared and
demonstrated that NO WHITE MAN CAN BE
NEUTRAL IN THIS CoNTEsT-that nothing
worse can be imposed upon US, and, come
what may, we shall not dishonor ourselves
and our children by conserving to the de-
graduation. He urged every man to do his
part, and thus only can we be assured Of
success.
1t was a grand old Vsyginia speech, ap-
pealing to the reason, the sentiments, and
the instincts of our people, and carrying
conviction to every man who deserves the
name of white man. ~

Pope Plus IX-Habits of the Holy
Father.

Correspondence Paris Evenemert 1llustre.
ROME, May I, 1868.
The Pope is pretty tall and stout, without
being obese. The furniture of his private
room is a square table, with two chairs, and
an armchair for himself, The room is
very small, with low ceiling, no curtains,
and the walls covered with paper of the
cheapest sort. Those of the grand official
saloons are covered with silk. His bed
room has yellow curtains, no carpet, and
brick floor, with little bedstead of iron
without curtains. He is very neat in his
person; his hands, which are half covered
with white mittens, are particularly at
tended to. He rises at 6 o'clock, silaves
himself, and says his mass in little pri-
vate chapel; and then hears another. At
8 o'clock he takes small cup Of chocolate,
and at so o'clock receives his Ministers.
Cardinal Antonelli comes every day to the
Vatican; and when prevented from doing
SO, the Under Secretary of State (Monsignor
Marini) takes his place. The other days OF
the week the other functionaries In their
turn transact business with him. At lO1a
O'Clock the Ministers withdraw. The au-
diences then begin, and are not over till
O'Clock. At O'Clock the Pope dimes IN his
private apartments. His repast is of the
most modest kind, and it always ends with
sweetmeat, of which all Italians ore fond.
From Ok o'clock to he takes his siesta,
at o'clock he reads his Breviary, and at
SIX O'Clock gees out for drive in o car
riage with foiir horses, accompanied only
by two young priests. If the weather per-
mits, he alights and walks in the most
retired parts of the city; nevertheless, ne
is followed by upwards of 1000 persons,
who walk after him in silence. When it
rains, his Holiness proceeds to the galleries
of the Vatican when the visitors have
retired. He is great lover Of antiques,
as proved by the researches ana restora-
tons he is continually making. On his
return home, at O'Clock, the audiences re-
commence, and last till 10 OF night, when
he retires to sup. He goes to bed at IL,
and the next day goes through the same
routine. Though advanced in years, ne
sings very well, and what is quite unknown
even to many Romans, plays well on the
yioloncello. When I was received with
nv companion, the chamberlain plucked
me by the sleeve to make me kneel. The
Pope, perceiving the movement, spared lie
the genufexion, and made US approach the
table at which he was sitting. $50 then"
his Holiness said, you are two Journalists,
friends, going together to Naples r he
spoke about Naples, and asked US how We
