SAD CALAMITY.

A Man Drives Horse and Cart Into the
Allegheny River, and Both AIau and Horse
are Drowned.
On Monday evening, man named William
John McCutcheon, who follows the occupation
of carter, drove his horse snd cart into the
Allegheny river, at Pittsburg, for the purpose of
watering his horse, and washing the mud off
his cart. A short distance from the bank the
horse was noticed to go down suddenly, either
falling or getting into deep water q The latter
seems to have been the case, for the cart soon
began to sink, and McCutcheon, who was seated
in it. fell off, and being caught in the current,
which was then swift and strong, was soon car.
made several vain endeavors to save himself,
rising once or twice entirely above the water,
but finally sinking exhausted and rising no more.
So sudden was the calamity that persons on
shore who witnessed 1t could not realize the
true Position OF affairs until the poor man had
drifted half way into the middle Of the stream
Darkness had now settled In most completely,
but as there was soft mellow light reflected
from the sky, McCutchen was discernible clutch
ing to a log and drifting rapidly down the river,
His cries for help were also heard, but none
could be extended him, and as 1t grew darker he
was lost sight of, though his voice was still heard
family above the echo of the raging waters.
Persons passing over the Mechanics street
bridge aver that they heard him passing under
the bridge,and 1t is supposed he still had hold of
the piece of drift wood on which he was first
seen TO take refuge when beingscarried out into
the stream. At all events that was the last seen
or heard of him, and IL is supposed, of course,
that he periehed.

CRIME IN KANSAS.

worh-Another Man Wonnded.
The Lawrence (Kansas) Republican of Janu-
ary IS has the following
Western Kansas is still in a bad condition, no
doubt. Murders and acts of violence still pre-
vail along our western frontier. No Indians are
engaged in numbering and scalping defenseless
settlers, and carrying women and children into
captivity, but lawlessness prevails We see no
difference between being shot and scalped by
band of marauding Indians, than being shot
down like o dog by riotous lawless set of white
men. The same blood-thirsty nature prevails
for the time being no matter whether the passion
peryades the breast of white man or an Indian.
If there are any paliating circumstances, they
should be extended to the Indian, for he is born
and bred in the wilds of the country, and has
never had the benefit of the enlightened civiliza-
ton which our people are so wont to boast of.
White men ought to know better than to let
their madness drive them to such acts of frenzied
violence that which has just come to our
knowledge.

From information given by prominent officers

foundation for the statements which contained
serious charges against general officers of the
O'Neill branch of the Fenian Brotherhood. Yes
terday General O'Neill, Mr.. Meehan, and Mr..

at the New York headquarters.
The treasurer of the organization did not
resign in disgust and the Adjutant- General,
Colonel John w. Byron, and his assistant, Major
O'Leary, left the organization because they had

missed, nor did he cause the tactics to be put in
press as stated His course has been approved
of by the President and principal officers of the
Brotherhood. OF the officers connected with
both branches of the Fenian Brotherhood who
in Ireland did good service, Generals G. Cluse-

New York from Ireland, reporting the state of

The next Fenian Congress, 1t is said, will be a
Canadian raid. Preparations are being made
for the event, and large quantities of arms are
daily forwarded to Ireland. In the city of Cork
$1,000 men are enrolled; in Dublin about the
same number; and there is scarcely doubt that
from 40, 600 to 10000 men in Ireland are availa-
BILE for immediate active service If called on.
They are, however, insufHciently supplied with
arms, and no effert at insurrection will be made

The Speech of Mr.. Dawes-It Creates a Great
~ Excitement
Special Despatch to The Eoeniug Telegraph
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.-The Senators and
members who have talked with the President
this morning say he is very much demoralized
by the speech of Dawes, delivered In the House
yesterday. He thinks the statements made by
Dawes are unjust, and in many instances incor-
rect. If there is any fault In the way of extra
VACANT expenditure, it is, he says, in Congress.
Estimates have been made up by Heads of De-
partments according to what Is actually required
by laws passed by Congress, and In making
them up the Heads of Departments had no dis
cretion but tosobey the laws. With regard to
the purchase of San Domingo and st. Thomas,
the President says if Congress don't want to
spend money in that direction they need not
ratify the treaties now before them.
The speech has stirred up all the members of
the Cabinet, and each one is hard at work get
ting figures together to disprove its statements.
Dawes says he has taken their own figures, as
furnished the Appropriation Committee over
their own signatures and simply compared
them with the estimates of Andrew Johnson's
last year in the White House. He disclaims
any malice or evil purpose In making his
speech, and says he did 1t for the good of the
party. Democrats have subscribed for several
hundred thousand copies of the speech, which
they will use as q campaign document next fall
As a majority of the members in the House are
candidates for reelection, they say they cannot
afford toendorse any extravagant appropriations,
and hence they generally sustain Dawes.

HARRISBURG, Jan. 19.-Since the refusal of
the Harrisburg fremen TO participate in the
procession yesterday, much bad feeling has ex-
isted between them and the visiting FIRE COM
panies from Philadelphia. Some of the difficult
ties which happened last evening were serious.
They appear to have commenced about the ad-
mission to the Inauguration ball, where some of
the Good VIII men say they were attacked at a
later hour. Two parties of the Good win and
of the Harrisburgers came in conflict at the
Jones House, and a hand TO hand fight ensued
during which at least one Harrisburg fireman
was seriously injured and Philadelphiaunamed
Mccormick had his wrist severely cut, nearly
all the tendons being severed. There was an
other fight near the depot.
The Good Will men assert that they were as

in the procession. 1t is not in evidence that any

The Pittsburg O7sroniole of last evening says
The coal tug Star, which left this city at an
early hour yesterday, with nine barges and one
boat filed with coal in tow, collided with one of
the piers of the new bridge of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company, at Benwood. Nine of
the barges were lost, and the boat sunk In a few
moments. In going down the boat careened,
and the boilers exploded, doing great damage.
The boat also took fire, and when she finally
settled down into the water, was an almost
total wreck The sister-in-law of the engineer,
who was making pleasure trip on the boat, was
terribly scalded by the steam, and survived her
escaped, although several of the latter were
taken out of the water after the explosion. The
loss on the coal and barges VIII probably amount
to $l2, 600. The losses during the present year,

Steamboat Accident.

ST.. LOUIS, Jan. 19.--The steamer Lizzie Gill,
which was sunk near Helena, Arkansas, on Sun
day, was valued at s50, 900, and was insured for
$4,000 in the National of Boston, and the
balance in Pittsburg and st. Louis companies.
The last advices from the boat say that the river
is rising rapidly, and the prospects of raising
her are very dubious.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
MEMPHIS, Jan. 1S.--An officer on the steamer
Mississippi reports that the steamer Lizzie Gill,
from st. Louis for New Orleans, with valuable
cargo, was swamped from being overloaded and
sunk in Scrubgrass Bend, below Napoleon, on
Sunday afternoon. She lies straight, with four
feet of water on her lower deck. She loaded
here 100 bales of cotton and 600 sacks of oil
cake. The steamer Mississippi took off her deck
freight, and the Magenta 65 head of mules. The
Lizzie Gill was owned by Captain Rufinger, of
st. Louis, was valued at $35, 600, and was
insured for $4,000 in st. Louis. She can be
raised.
