She Accuses Mesdames Woodruff and Claain
of Despoiling Her of $1,000 Worth of Jewels
and Money.
Editha Gilbert Montez, the daugher of Lola Mon
tez, has, as the majority OF New Workers know,
temporarily abandoned the lecture platform, after
her lgbominious failure in Steinway Hall on the
night OF the 9th inst She seems, however not des-
tined to blush unseen or waste her sweetness on the
desert air. Therefore, the disappointed lecturess
has appeared in another and greater r0te-that or
prosecutrix in a case which will be tried In the Su-
preme Court In a few days.
ON Wall street yesterday all sorts OF rumors were
current IA regard to Mesdames Woodruff AZ Claim,
the lady brokers; but all these rumors, however,
were efectually contradcted by negro waiter from

ladies had disposed OF the edbles In highly salts

that Editha Gilbert Montez had obtained warrant

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
A Fly-Wheel Bursts, Tenring an Engineer TO
Pieces-Terrifc Force Exerted.

Pieces-Terrifc Force Exerted.
The Saxony flour mills in st. Louis were the
scene of a very shocking accident on Tuesday
last The Republican of the 18th says:-There
were only few men in the building, 1T being
dinner time and the machinery was running
light as there was not much doing in the mill.
Henry DIETRICH, the assistant engineer was in
charge, and was considered an experienced and
careful man. About the time mentioned he was
engaged in carrying out cinders, and during his
absence on one of his trips the belt controlling
the governor" either broke or slipped off.
There was a heavy pressure of steam in the
boiler, about 115 or 120 pounds, and the full
force was Immediately transferred to the cylin-
der. In a moment the increased speed of the
machinery apprised DIETRICH of what had oc-
Cured, and he hurried back towards the engine.
A little delay of some kind seems to have oc-
cured and by the time he reached the engine
the fy-wheel had gathered terrific speed, and
must have been revolving somewhere about
a thousand times in minute, while the whlrl-
ing rush of the great body of iron and the other
machinery shook the building. DIETRICH, it is
evident, understood in a moment what had
occurred, and ran towards the small wheel con-
trolling the admission of steam. In his haste
and not thinking of the danger, he went directly
in front of the fy-wheel, and while quite close
the accident occurred. The immense wheel
&, had acquired velocity that overcame the cohe-
rency and strength of the iron, and in mo-
ment, with q terrible sound, 1t flew into a thou
sand pieces. The force eXerted by the fragments
the rim weighing thousands of pounds rushed
like ball from cannon through the floors of
the second and third stories in q curving line,
tearing the wooden joints and other timber like
paper, and striking the front wall of the
building about the middle of the third
story. This is brick wall of unusual thick
ness, but the iron fragments passed clean
through it, leaving an unsightly gap, and fell
laundering on the south side of the street. Some
smaller pieces of iron also passed through the
upper floors of the building and their effects
were manifested even up to the roof. In the
direction given by the revolving motion at the
time of the bursting, some of the arms of the
wheel struck the brick floor in front; one piece
buried itself out of sight like wedge driven in
by the hammer of Thor, and another stood with
one end sticking out as solid as if the masonry
had been built around it. To look upwards from
the place where the fy-wheel had been enabled
one to realize the awful force exerted. All the
floors above were shivered along the course
taken by the fragments, and the light of day
streamed in through the jagged rent in the walls
The assistant engineer, Dietrich, was instantly
killed, but no other man was hurt in the building

N. Y. MONEY MARKET OF YESTERDAY.

From the N: Y. Herald.
'"The markets were more active to-day, but the
amount OF business was far below the average.
Money vas easy and abundant. The general rates
were three per cent. on Governments, and four per
ceyt on stocks. Towards the close of banking hours
balances offered at two and three per cent re-
spectivey, on the collaterals first specified.
''The lack of financial knowledge concerning the
effect OF the Currency bill just passed by the House
is certainly curious. Even In quarters supposed to
be oracular in such matters there was wide differ
Of opinion The fact is the banks all specu-
latng in stocks and bonds and hence they interpret
the new bill as imitation Naturally enough the stock
cliques who are staggering under heavy loads of
stocks proclaim it imitation.
'1he gold market was strong in the forenoon in
answer TO the agitation OF the Cuban question In
Congress, and the price rose to 115. In the after
noon there was decline to 113, when it was an
nounced that Bingham's amendment had been
adopted by decisive vote. Later In the afternoon
the price became strong on the report that the
Funding bill was again postponed The reaction
to 3 had also been assisted by the lower rates for
sterling.
"The Government list was favorably affected,
both by the advance in gold and by the Impression

LIFE INSURANCE CASE.
Suit by n Widow-Queer TestimOny-Verdict
for Plaintiff.


Says the Washington Star of last evening"
An insurance case came before Justice Plant
Yesterday, the circumstances of which are
follows:-Mrs. Catherine Roth some time ago
sued Mr.. A. E. l.. Reese, the local agent in this
city for the Peoria Qllinois) Benevolent and
amount of insurance on her husbands life
Mr.. Ferdinand Roth, the husband died last
February, from injuries sustained in getting
thrown out of wagon. Mrs. Roth produces the
proper evidence of her husbands DEATH together
with the physicians certificate.
The defense put in the plea that Mr.. Roth's
death was caused by intemperance and immoral
habits, which, they claim, annuls the policy,
and they bring as witness to sustain this plea
an individual who calls himself Augustus f.
Hartke, and who claims to be general agent
to travel everywhere for the company" This
mans evidence is to the effect that subsequent
to the death of Mr.. Roth he called upon Mrs.
Roth, who stated to him that her husbands
death was caused by his vicious habits, and that
she made many other statements in disparage-
nent of Mr.. Roth.
Complainant denies this, and says that this
man, who was a total stranger to her, called to
see her after her husbands death, and stated
that he was very intimate friend of her hus-
band and condoled with her, expressing the hope
that his life was insured etc, ETC.; that he did
not disclose to her his connection with the Peo-
ria Insurance Company, and further that by his
impertinent and inquisitive manner he finally
excited her suspicious that he was an impostor,
and that she has not seen him since until the
present time.
The case has been pending for some time, and
judgment was given some weeks ago by Justice
Plant for plaintiff but at the solicitation of Mr..
Reese the case was reopened in order to give him
an opportunity 'to set himself right with the
company as he stated, and yesterday another
postponement was asked by Mr.. Reese, but re-
fused bv the magistrate, and judgment given for

day previous, adding greatly to the immense dam
age already done. The haistones which fell on
Friday were large and round, one of them
weighing four ounces. The stones which came
down on the second day we're jagged, as devoid
of form as crabs, and therefore more injurious.
SO violent storm has never been experienced
in the section through which it passed. The
damage is Incalculable, and so far as the cotton
is concerned, at least is irreparable. Immense
trees were uprooted. Further particulars ef the
calamity are awaited with anxiety.

Friday. June n. 1870.

This bids fair to be Ole of the dullest of days
in the money market. Money is apparently be-
coming more abundant, the outflow of currency
westward having greatly subsidized, whilst the
local business and speculative demand is exceed
ingly light, though the rates are such as to place
capital within easy reach of all who have proper
credit or securities to offer in exchange. 1904
per cent continues to be the range for call loans,
and 5a6 per cent. for prime discounts.
Gold is very quiet and rather weak, all the
sales ranging between 1875 and l125S, opening
at the former and closing at the latter.
