emanatlDg from the room of deceased, and
upon repairing to the door Of the room
found II fastened on the inside.

no one discovered In the room, and the
party returning to the lower floor found the
body Of the deceased being conveyed through
the hall to an adjoining room, she having
been discovered lying on the pavement In

RIVER NRws.-The high winds of yester-
day prevented much business along the
whaTves, and but few vessels arrived Ar
rived-Schooners Odd Fellow, wood for J.
W. NARROW; Jennie Baker, John s. Ravens
and several smaller vessels, with fish and
oysters. Yesterday morning some little cX-
element was occasloned along the wharves,
caused by the colliding Of the schooners
Jennie Baker and John Ravens. As both
vessels were beating up to the wharves,
under head wind, the bowsprit of the latter
ran into the rigging of the former, tearing
II to pieces and leaving the mizZenmast un-
supported, when 1t fell to the deck with
heavy crash. Fortunately none were In
range OF the falling timber, and but little
damage resulted from the accident. The
| accident occurred near the arsenal wharf,
and soon afterwards both vessels reached
their respective wharves-Riley's and john
sons.
RAILROAD ACCIDEST.-As the train bound
| North on the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac railroad, which left Richmond at
Sil5 p. m. on Tuesday, was approaching
Chesterfield station, about halfway between
Fredericksburg and Richmond, the engineer
discovered In the distance man lying across
the crack, and whistled down brakes, but
before the train could be stopped It had en-
| ha hn trail haip AZ,
stopped as soon as 1t was possible, a search
was made by the conductor, Capt. Pcndlc-
ton, and soon Ii was discovered that the
wheels had passed over the middle of the
body of the unfortunate man, cutting II In
two. The name Of the deceased was Haines,

the railroad. Near by the track man, sup
posed to be companion of Haines, was

Gated, with an empty whisky jug by his side.
