@ An inventive genius, of New
ark, has conceived the idea of apply
ing steam to the three wheeled We
locipede, leaving the rider nothing
to do but to keep his seat, guide the
machine, and hold on to his tiller
while speeding over the ground at a
2;40 rate. The plan of this genius is
to construct q boiler, II inches in
diameter by "a inches in highth, to
be placed over the hind axeltree in
an upright position; the boiler to be
made of the kind of steel now being
experimental upon at Pittsburgh,
Pa, and which has already withstood
q pressure of $50 pounds to the
square inch. The water tanks, of
four gallons capacity, to be located
under the seat, and to be constructed
as to form the brace from the fore to
the hind wheel; the exhaust steam to
heat the water in the tank. SteamIs
to be generated bykefo6ne oSl, tofse
fed into furnace containing sand,
through syphon. To avoid the
heat, the boiler is to be covered with
felt and incased in wood. A boiler
of the above dimensions would give
fully one horse power, and sufficient
fuel and water could be taken on
board for 2 four hours ri6e.-State

Terrible Accident.

A telegram from Rochester, NY,
dated Jan. 9th, says:
A shocking accident occurred this
evening, by which eight persons were
killed and thirty seriously injured.
A floor in the school-house of st.
Peters and St. Pauls Roman Catholic
Church gave way, while crowded with
people attending a holiday festival
Three hundred or more persons went
down and several were instantly kill
ed.
The widest excitement ensued, and
it was some time before the wounded
could be taken from the debris.
Many surgeons are attending the in
jurcd, some of whom will probably
die.
The building was erected last sum
mer.
A later dispatch, Jaauary 9th, says:
Thus far but eight persons have died
in consequence ofthe falling of the
school-house floor on Wednesday night.
There are nearly fifty of the wounded,
but most of them are out of danger.
Six of the killed were buried this
morning, one funeral having been held
for ALL
The Coroner's investigation shows
that the cause of the accident was neg
lect to put stone cap of full size u pom
a brick pier in the cellar.

MEMPHIS, January ).
A shooting affray occurred at 10
O'Clock, this morning, at the corner
of Second and Market streets. result
ing in the death of Edwin Whitfield,
of the irm of Moore & Whitfield,
cotton factors, by the hands of j. H..
Doran, gambler. Doran had rent
ed house from Whit6eld's father
and kept such disreputable company
that an attempt was made in the
courts to eject him. Doran, this
morning, published card in the Av-
alanche denouncing both Whitfields
as thieves, liars and poltroons. Ed
win Whitfield and Major Moore went
to the house for the purpose, it is
supposed, of chastising Doran. On
knocking, the door was opened and
Whitfield entered. The door was
slammed in Moere's face and lock
ed. Shooting commenced simulta-
neously with locking the door When
Moore, and crowd attracted Ivy the
firing, burst the door open, Whit
field was found lying on the floor dy-
ing, and Doran and two women
standing in the center of the room.
Doran cried cut that he surrendered.
He and the women were taken to
Jail. Whitfield's pistol was found on
him, never having been drawn. He
was shot through the body five times,
and beaten over the head with a pis,
tol. There is strong talk of lynch
ing Doran. Whitfield was an exem-
plary young man, recently married.
During the war he served on the staff
of Gen. Dick. Taylor.

Charles Anderson of the Reno
Gang,

A gentleman whose information is no
doubt authentic, communicates the Gu
rious fact that Charles Anderson, who
was recently lynched with the Renos at
New Albany, Indiana, was a native of
Washington county, Penn, and lived
in Claysville up to 1864, and that his
real name was Charles Anderson Gun
ming. During the war, being alarmed
about the draft, he went to Canada,
and on returning professed to have ex-
patriated himself. During the cam
paign he committed a gross assault on a
citizen Of Claysville, and again left the
country to avoid arrest. Subsequently
he lived in Canada, Michigan, and led
a somewhat predatory life elsewhere
under the name of Charles Anderson.
He seems to have formed a connection
with the Renos several years ago, and
is said to have confessed that he and
Frank Reno were the parties who had
robbed the express Office at Claysville
year or two ago. Anderson's wife
and sister-in-law now live at Claysville,
and the people there know all about
him and his early history Wheeling

A New Issue-Perhaps.

q resolution has been introduced
in the Ohio Legislature, proposing
to confer the right of voting upon all
white females over th he age of twenty
one years, the question to be sub
mitted to the voters of the State at the
next October election. We cannot
now, of course, say what would be
the result of submitting such ques-
tion, but we think we. can safely say
that all "old bachelors" and young
single men would take the affirmative.
Married men, because Of some slow
dinner, or missing shirt button, might
be expected to turn up their noses at
such an innovation. 1t would be an
interesting fight, to be sure. The
Cincinnati Commercial notices the
matter as follows, to wit:
It is probable that the advocates
of female enfranehisement may OBJ
ject to submitting their case at so
early period. They want time to
agitate, to arouse, to convince. The
women themselves must be aroused
to the great loss they sustain by rea-
son of their political disability. They
must be made the advocates of the
enlargement of their privileges, and
when once they enlist in the service,
who can doubt their success? They
can make the conditions of refusal to
vote for their enfranchisement so op-
pressive that no male biped will dare
to withstand them. A refusal to
prepare good dinner for the recall
citrant husband or father or brother.
a persistent neglect of needed shirt
buttons, and thousand other annoy
ances which the cunning of an expe-
perienced housewife can devise, will
bring the menopolist of the ballot to
terms, and assure his consent to share
political equality with the presiding
divinities of his domestic sanctuary.
But it is necessary, first of all, to
awaken the Indifferent and enlist the
oppressed in the cause before it can
be carried, and time is wanted for
that.
Mr.. Scott, however, shows laud-
able readiness to meet the wishes of
those who have declared themselves
for the ballot 1t is his way of as
suring them that he and his fellow
members do not propose to stand a
siege rather than open the political
gates to the mastering army of the
Amazons. The Legislature will re-
fer the women to the people. to the
affectionate fathers, the beloved
brothers, the gallant lovers, the de-
voted sons; to generous old uncles
and gracious old bachelors; and if
sweet smiles and tender words, and
sly kisses and pleading eyes can not
penetrate their hard hearts and win
the day, nothing short Of Omnipo,
tence can. As Mr. Scott's resolu-
ton may pass by unanimous consent
for on this delicate question there
can be no division by the political
line--the advocates Of female suffrage
must be on the alert, organize rapid
ly throughout the State, and make it
the leading question in the next
State canvass. We shall probably
be in desperate need of some issue
next fall, to bring out the voters, and
here it is at our hand-a capital issue
to wrangle over. How the politicians
will grow eloquent! What gallantry
they will display! What claims upon
the admiration and votes of the COM
ing element in politics will they es-
tabiish! By all means. let US have
the new issue in time for the next
canvass.

ARMY VAcANcIEs.-The Washing
ton correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette says: =
The death of General Rosseau and
retirement of General Hooker create
two vacancies in the grade of Briga-
dier General Of the regular army.
The President has been talking a
great deal about filing the Hooker
vacancy, but the probabilities are
that both will go over into the next
Administration, as no one regards it
as likely that he will appoint persons
acceptable to General Grant, and if
he opposes them, no nomination for
this grade can be confirmed.

w The foreign immigration re-
turns of the current year show q fall
ing off of thirty thousand in the ar
rivals as compared with last year.
So far as the Irish are concerned,
the emigration to this country will
be less hereafter than it has been ia
previous years, owing to the drying
up of the source OF supply in Ireland
itself. The decrease of German EN-
igration to America can be account
ed for on the idea prevalent in Eu
rope, that the demand for labor and
the reward for labor here at this time
are less than they have been in
other years.
