Important Railroad ease.

New YORK, February l9.-An i'm
pOrtant case against the Camden and
Amboy Railroad and Transportation
Company, for So, 600, came up in the
Court of Common Pleas, before Judge
Daily, yesterday, involving the habil-
ity Of the common carriers. The
plaintiffs, Marcus z. Woodruff and
others, were the consigners of forty
two bales of cotton sent them from
cairo, which was consumed by fire in
this city. The bill of lading or receipt
given By the Illinois Central Railroad
at Cairo, had IN it certain provisions
about communicating lines, shielding
them from any liability after the cot
tOn had lett their line, and had writ
ten across lis face in red ink, mot liza
bic for loss by fire. AT Chicago, ILL.,,
the road delivered it to the Union
transportation Company, who gave a
somewhat different bill Of ladiBg, but
contained the words, Aowners' risk OF
fireD on ii ia red INK. The cotton ar
rived here on the Iith OF July, ana
was placed on the wharf, where y was

WASHINGTON.
The Political Disabilities BiIl---Terribis
Safsrings on the Plains.

WASHINGTON, February 19.-The
members elect to Congress from Mis-
sissippi, with Senator Revels, made
another visit to the Executive Man
sion today, for the purpose Of request
ing the President tD delay signing the
bill for the admission OF Mississippi,
until after the bill removing political
disabilities, which contains the names
of certain members of the delegation,
shall have passed Congress. The rea-
sons for this request were the facts
that the admission OF the State before
the removal Of the disabilities OF the
members of the delegation would de-
prive them of their seats, were stated
to the President, who, in respOne TO
The request, expressed his willingness
to conform to the wishes of the dele
cation, and consequently the Missis-
Hippi bill has not yet been ,igned.
Another reason urged by the Mis-
;issippi delegation for the postpone
nent OF the Presidents approval OF
The bill admitting that State, is to de-
lay the assembling OF the Legislature
one week, and thus enable Gov. Al
corn, who is now in New York, to re-
turn home and prepare his message.
a letteI from Fort AbercrOmbie
says that Friday, the 1lth, was the
most tempestuOus one on the plains
experienced this winter. On that day,
Charles Warner, in company with SIX
soldiers and an Indian scout, left Fort
Ransom for AberCrOmbie. The sol
diers and scout were soon left behind,
and Mr.. Warner heard no more Of
them until Saturday evening. While
stopping at Il station on the route the
scout came in badly frozen and hardly
able To talk, reporting that the sol
diers the day previous had got lost il
the drifting storm, and unhitching
their mules, had camped out upon the
open prairie, all being more or less
frozen. The Indian covered four Of
them up with the snOw-the other
two preterring TO remain in the open
sleigh-aud started for assistance. He
travelled most OF the night and the
next day; finally arrived at the sta
tiOn, but so badly frozen and exhaust
ed as to have no clear idea where the
soldiers were left buried. Ills tracks
having been covered by the DRIFT il
was impossible TO follow them back,
and no search had been made for the
missing men.
The same day two men who were
chOpping wood near Alexandria dis
appeared and have not been heard
flOm since.

BLOODY NEW YORK.
Two Additional Murders In tho Great Con-
meFciai Capital.

New YORK, February 17.-This af-
ternOOn, your correspondent had an
interview with Miss Jane Webb, the
niece OF Mrs. Sheridan, who was in
the room at the time of the murder.
Miss Webb says that at about half
past eight O'Clock in the evening she
was sitting in the room, working at a
sewing machine, when she heard some
one coming up the steps. Powers was
sitting near the stove, and Mary. the
child, was playing near the bureau.
Miss Webb crossed over and took a
seat at the table in the middle of the
room, when Sheridan entered and
sat down, As soon as Miss Webb
saw him she ran into the bed
room and told Mrs. Sheridan of
his presence. She asked Miss Webb
to hold the baby and she would 90
out and see him. Mrs. Sheridan
went out and seated herself near the
table, at the same time remarking to
her husband that 'she hoped he had
not come there to shoot her, as ne had
done a week ago." when he ex-
claimed: 'WhO wanted to shoot
yOu?" Mrs. Sheridan replied: "You
know; you know; didn't he, Dolly?"
turning to her daughter, by her side.
Sheridan answered, ''Is that so? Per-
haps you would like to have a little of
the shooting now" and then he fired.
Powers jumped up and grasped him,
when he fired again, both balls taking
effect. Powers held him until assist
ance came.
About q week ago Sheridan craWled
up the stairs, very drunk, and, stand
ing in the door, aimed a pistol at his
wlte'5 head. She sprang at him, closing
the door in his face, and he went down
stairs muttering something.
Such is the story of the last New
York murder.
IhlS afternoon woman sixty years
Of age, named Mary Cassidy, living in
Brooklyn, came to the dispensary with
one Of her arms dislOcated, being in
great pain. ChlOrO!Orm was admin
i-tered before commencing the opera
tiOn, but on the second application it
was found that she was dead.
This created a great stir, and subSe-
quent inquiry has elected the tact that
the woman had been severely beaten
by her husband. 1t is supposed that
his i'll treatment OF her was indirectly
the cause, as the doctors who admin
istered the chlOfOrm state that she was
not killed by that.
An investigation will be held to-
