PRESERVATION OF swEET-PoTAToEs.
1t is very desirable to have the sweet
potato crop mature as early in the fall as
possible, as they are better and more apt
to keep well. To fit them for preservation,
they must be lifted before the weather
indicates degree of cold sufficient to freeze
the ground, or in this latitude before the
18th Of October. Those intended for win
ter storage should be gathered before any
frost Wits the vines, being about the last of
SEPTEMBER or first of October, put up in
barrels or shallow boxes, and placed in
a dry, warm situation. When placed in
barrels in the open field and carefully han
died, they will be more readily preserved
during winter, other circumstances being
favorable, slight bruising from rough car
riage proving injurious to them if designed
for winter use.
When large quantities are reserved for
winter and spring sales. houses are to be
erected expressly for their preservation
These are generally two stories high. built
of wood, and so arranged that the potatoes
may be stored therein in boxes about two
feet deep, framed together at the ends with
keys, to be taken apart when not in use
The boxes are placed in tiers, with space
of a few inches between for ventilation,
and extending from side to side Of the house
within foot ef the weather. boarding.-
The source of heat is fire in the cellar,
from which the warmth is caused to circu-
late equally and freely throughout the
building. Thus arranged and carefully
tended, maintaining uniform moderate
heat, sweet potatoes may be preserved until
late in the following spring. No chaf,
shavinSs, or other materials are needed;
careful packin: and handling, and uniform
moderate heat or even temperature, and
not too lOw-from fifty-ive degrees to sixty
five degrees-being the only requisites for
the attainment of perfect success in the
preservation for the entire season Of this
admirable root.

THE SAN FRANCISCO TRAGEDY.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 4.-Judge A. P. Critten-
den one of the ablest lawyers of this city, was
shot and killed last evening by Mrs. Laura Fair.
Judge Crittenden had crossed over to Oakland
to meet his wife and daughters, who had been
East for several months and was returning with
them and his two sons to this city in the ferry
boat FL Captain when the tragedy occurred. Mr..
Crittenden was seated outside of the saloon on
the upper deck, with his back against the
wheel-house, his wife nestled closely by his
side. Close TO them was their little son, and
few feet further back was seated Miss Critten-
den, young lady of about eighteen.
To the left with her back to the saloon, and
facing Miss Crittenden, sat woman alone by
herself, dressed In loose suit of black, with
a long cape hung from her shoulders, under
which she carefully concealed her hands. There
was, besides thick veil over her face large
muller which concealed her mouth and chin.
She sat there almost unnoticed and unObseryed
by any one although two or three remarked
that she must be an invalid from the way she
was bundled up, and thought it strange she
should be sitting outside in the cold raw air of a

THE MISSOURI BRIDGE ACCIDENT

The st. Louis Democrat of the 18th instant
says
A fearful and fatal accident occurred yester-
day morning at the railroad bridge in process of
construction across the river at st. Charles.
The laborers took breakfast at o'clock, and
resumed work on span of the bridge on the 81.
Charles shore. The span is about 100 feet in
length. Treste work had been constructed, and
the iron of the superstructure was being fitted
to its place. derrick engine stood upon this
trestle work, and was used in hosting the iron
columns, beams, etc., to their positions. wire
rope was used for this purpose, and was sup
posed to be of ample strength.
Twenty men were on the span, and heavy
iron column was being drawn up by means of
the wire rope, when the rope broke and the
column fell upon the trestle-work, breaking
down about thirty feet of the wood and iron
work, and precipitating all the men except one
into the river.
One man had presence of mind enough to
spring upon the pier just as the rope broke, and
he remained isolated on the pier and saw the
ruins beneath him.
From what we can learn from persons who
were on the spot, sixteen men were killed or
drowned. Fourteen bodies were taken from
the water, and two are missing. The engineer
who ran the derrick engine saved himself and
another man.
One man had one of his legs and several of
his ribs broken, yet he managed to swim ashore,
but died Immediately after reaching the bank.
The superintendent of tue bridge is said to be
among the killed. He went down with the
engine upon him.
Among those who perished were Captain
Odell; Mr.. Thompson, foreman; James Fannin,
carpenter, of st. Louis; Daniel l.. Carr, of
Cleveland, Ohio. A man living at Eighth and
Ashley streets had a brother lost.
The wife of Mr.. Fannin went to st. Charles
last night on the IL 30 train to bring home the
body of her husband
The accident will delay the completion of the
bridge, and is serious loss to the North Mis-
souri, Railroad Company. The cause of the
breaking of the wire rope is said to have been
carelessness on the part of the men in allowing
| the rope to get twisted into a kink. The iron
column which broke it weighed seven or eight
| tons.
! One man was taken out of the ruins alive, but
his head was fearfully crushed, and he died in q
| few minutes.

EVENING TELEaRAPH OFFIcE.l I
Monday. Nov. IA, 1870. !


The money market opened this morning with
the usual liberal supply of currency, and still
further falling off in the regular business de-
mand for money. Speculative investments, how
ever are very heavy, and this activity tends to
keep the money current in constant motion
whilst keeping the market firm. Supply and
demand are thus fairly balanced, and employ
ment for all funds available is found without
difficulty. The rates for money subject to call
are 51%G615 per cent. Good commercial paper
is scarce and in demand at 7@9 per cent for
double names of short date.
The gold market was excited by the political
news from Europe, and the market opened at
1928, ranging up to noon between that figure
and l124.
Government bonds are also weak from the
came cause, and the market is unsettled.
Reading RaDroad was very depressed sales
at 503l G505E. Pennsylvania was steady, with
sales at 591f, and Lehigh Valley changed hands
at 500. l15 was bid for Camden and Amboy,
and 49, for Little Schuylkill.
In Canal shares there were sales of Lehigh at
329I, an advance. The balance of the list was
unsettled and quiet

went to Philadelphia to get an opportunity to
quietly consult his friends as to the selection of
a Cabinet officer from Pennsylvania, having
made up his mind to appoint one. Senator
Cameron has recommended Colonel Forney.
To a gentleman who recently spoke of the ques-
tion of recognizing Pennsylvania in that man

men places in his Cabinet who had all declined,

McKennan, and Judge Strong.

have to be retired. All three represent States
which will in all probability vote for the Demo-

being now openly candidate for reelection, is
on the alert to secure Pennsylvania, without
whose vote he has within the last week for the
