AT Winchester, Ind, on the 9Th, w. HI. Arney,
sal0on-keeper, was shot and killed by Miss
Caroline Smith, a milliner or dressmaker, living
in one OF the upper rooms over ROuth q Ban
nister's store. Miss Smith has frequently been
annoyed by drunken and dissOlute men, who
have sought entrance to her room for improper
purposes. Determined not to be persecuted
in this manner, she bought a revolver, to pro-
tect her person. About ten o'clock at Mi ght,
some one came to the door and demanded ad-
mittance, threatening to break the door down.
After hammering sometime he went down stairs,
when she opened the window, and seeing man
at the foot Of the stairs fired. This man was
Arney, and il is claimed that he is not the man
who went to Miss Smiths room. The shot took
effect in his left brea,t, passing through the
heart and killing him instantly. He fell upon
Hon. David Kilgore, who was passing along the
sidewalk at the time. Miss Smith was arrested,
and is closely confined She expresses great sor-
row because she shot the wrong man. Arney
leaves wife and four chiltren.-Chicdgo Tri-
June.
And 50 Miss Smith condescends to express re-
gret that she killed the wrong man !" This.
We suppose, will be ample consolation for the
wife and children. Has not this practice Of mis-
cellaneous cunning by paroxysmal young women
gone about far enough?

WE TRCsT MISS BATEMAN will receive such
an ovation on the occasion of her benefit at the
National Theatre this evening, as her merits de-
serve. Her portrayal of the character of the
loving and self-sacrifcing wife. Mary Warner,
is triumph OF dramatic art, in which she never
fails to enlist the sympathy of the audience
We have not seen the National so crowded for
long time as it was last evening, there hardly
being standng-rOOm, and the play passed OF
very smoothly, there being but few drawbacks
Mr.. Jordan is fair as George Warner, but Mr.
Hamilton's "Bob LEVITT is not what the
character might be in abler hands, and some
other of the minor characters are rather poorly
done. Miss Saville's "Milly' is much better
than was expected OF her. and is all the more
satisfying on that account

st. Louis has not by any means abandoned
the worship OF her idol. Still she bankers after
vering zeal to accomplish her dreadful designs
against Washington. Local papers announce
tnat the day OF talk is over and gone, and that
having not utterly ioosed their hold on the good
people OF the Mississippi Valley MetropOlis-by
such prOud-sOunding title do they designate the
city of their lOve-a meeting was held at the
Southern Hotel, the other night, at which the
letters benedictive, some small talk, and the APP
pointment Of committee of five, whose pleas
ant duty 1t was settled should be to 60 to Wash
ington and there secure the cooperation Of
Western members Of Congress.
Mr.. Reavis had pleasant news to communicate
to the meeting He said a Congressional organ
ization had been started, and although it was
begun as late as the Sth of December, Ii already
numbered nearly eighty members. At its head
is General Logan, whom an enthusiastic reporter
sly yles ga war-horse Of energy and determine
ton" Hon. John COburn, Of Indiana, is secre-
tary. A short letter was read from him, its sem
fences being rather jerky, and evidently written
under the Inspiration Of deep responsibility. He
ventures to breathe forth the wish that they, or
he, will overcome all large appropriations asked
for by the wretched Washingtonians, and con-
we can be-"
Another significant letter. this one from the
Hon. s. H. Boyd, member of Congress from
Missouri, was read. This gentleman is more
precise than the excellent secretary. He states
OcHnitciy tue uumDer OF congressman who will
vote against appropriations and for re emOval-
seyenty-four. He then proceeds to point out
artistic merits in the plan, saying ''the beauty
Of the movement is, we have large meetings,
and no one outside knows anything about it,
We cannot but remark that Mr.. Boyd has most
effectualiy done for his own dish The cOnspic-
nous feature Of the movement, he tells US, its
beauty, Is that they have large meetings, and no
one knows anything about it. And here is the as
tute man running into the papers with this news?
Already the Washington people have found it all
out. The terrible suspicion arises that Mr.. Boyd
is traitor Of the deepest dye; that with his mouth
he processes enthusiastic devotion to the cause
80 dear to every true citizen of st. Louis, while
in his heart Is black treachery. 1t is also to be
observed that the silly St LOuisans fell into the
snare this secret emissary Of the Washingtonians
set for them. For they not only allowed the let
ter to be read, but they decided, as we have be-
fore stated, to send a committee to Washington
to urge the passage of the bill. Miserable sche-
mers, thus to kick over the kettle OF fish, Just
when 1t was SO nearly cooked For, of course,
all secresy Of action is now out of the question.
They have stupidity shown the Washington peo-
pie their game, and the quiet that Mr.. Coburn
implicitly enjoins, and the extreme secresy that
MIR. Boyd wishes, are no longer pOssible.-Cin-

On the 10TH five persons, all young, and all
brothers and sisters, met shocking death by

seven children. The lower floor was occupied

The latter, not twenty minutes previous to the

had child in her armss and was SO frightened
from her, but, by her direction, part Of the
increasing crowd eRdeavored to force open the

burned arms could not be unlocked, and, when
she saw that death must come, she had met the
names first, holding the little one away until the
