knocking him down. Deitz then
turned and stuck Pitts with the pistol,
but did not kreck him down, he then
fred at Pitts, the ball striking Pitts
in the abdomen, By this time Me-
Carthy had drawn his pistol and fred
at Deitz, the ball hitting him
in the thigh, producing a severe
but probably not DANCE
Gus wound. Mccarthy then ran
across the street to Doctors office,
and set down to have his head dressed
(Which was wounded by the blow
given BY Dietz.) but he could not
stay for the surgeon to dress the
wound, but rushed out into the street,
and commenced firing his revolver
IN the direction Of Dietz's grocery.
He fred twice, and was then dis
armed by the bystanders. These last
shots bit no one. 1t is thought By a
physician, who saw Pitts Saturday
morning, that he can not recover, as
from the direction the ball took, the
lntestInes must be wounded. and If so,
death will no doubt be the result.
PITTS belongs to very respectable
family. w. o. Pitts. ESQ, Of Spring

Tho War News.

The Emperor Napoleon remains at st.
Cloud, and last night gave dinner TO the
officers OF the Imperial Guard, preparatory to
their leaving for the scat Of war. Much Of the
public attention is occupied with the positions
Of England, Austria, Spain, Russia and the
smaller countries, and there are macy specula
lions with regard to their future course. The
rumors OF an alliance between Russia and
Prussia are revived, but not substantiatcd.
The Paris Liberte OF yesterday argues that
South Germany, Holland, Belgium, and Spain
will all be favorable to France, but dispatches
state that the South German provinces have
returned an unfavorable answer 10 the ultima
tum sent them by the Emperor The hostile
tone OF the English press has greatly angered
tho French Government, and Lord Granville
went to Paris on Monday and had an interview
with the Emperor. The official declaration of
war has been sent to Prussia and other nations
Nj. Theirs has been asked to resign on account
of bis speech in tho Corps Legisatit in behalf
of peace. Don Carlos arrived in Paris yester-
day, but has been ordered by the Government
to leave. Dispatches are almost entirely from
Paris and London, Berlin being TO some extent
isolated Geographically. The only news We
have from there is that King William on Mon.
day evening made speech to an enthusiastic
audience. He said that Germany had been
drawn into the war, and that sacrifices must be
expected, but spoke hopefully OF tho result.
The French are endeavoring to excite an insur
rection 10 Hanover. Cologne has been placed
in state Of siege. The Hamburg Steamship
Company being willing to attempt the voyage
from New York, their steamer, Silssian, was
ordered to leave there yesterday, carrying the
United States mails for Europe.
Secretary Robson has assigned Rear Ad-
mirsl Melancton Smith to command the Wash
ington Navy Yard, in place of the late Rear
Admiral John A. Dahlgren. Admiral Smith
is q native of New York, and during the war
was on duty as Executive Officer at the Wash
ipgton Navy Yard, but for the past year or
two has been Chief Of the Bureau Of Equip.
ment and Recruiting in the Navy Department.
There is nothing clearly settled OF the an
thracite coal difficulties either as to the eight

JETER PHILLIPS CAsE.-The Richmond
correspondent of the Baltimore Sun writes
as follows relative to the case of Jcter Phillips:
Ia spite of the war, the approaching execu-
lion OF Jeter Philii ps, tor the murder OF his
wife, exctes some comment. | believe thet
everybody concurs in the opinion that his fate
is merited but it is no less certain that those
who are best informed, especially IN regard
to TIC suppressed evidence in the case, are
positive that Phillips did not do the deed him.
self, though fully as guilty as if he had done
SO. His counsel still assert that another per
son killed Mrs. Phillips aud my opinion. is
backed by that of those who know all the
truth will out one OF these days, whether Phil.
lips make confession or not. He is not like.
iy to divulge DOW what was suppressed at bis
own instance, when it might have been used
to acquit him, or at least TO mitigate his sen
tence, as his counsel thought. This wretched
young man will expiate his fearful crime upon
tue isnominiouS gaowS on Friday, July 22d,
when his present respite expires. he will
be hanged in the yard of the old Henrco
county Jail, at the corner of Goth and Main
streets, in this city, between the hours OF 10
A. NJ. and p. NJ. Phillips was arrested for
the murder Of his wife June the 18th, 1867.
The indictment upon which be was finally con-
victed alleged the crime to have been COM
mitted by him on Sunday. February 18th,
1867. On his first trial the Jury disagreed,
it being understood that ten were Tor eonVic.
ton and two Tor acquitta, There we're good
reasons for believing that-as publicly charged
by the press at the time-the jurors for
acQuittal had been successfully tempered with.
AT subsequent trial he was found guilty, end
on July 10th, 1868, Judge Christian pronounc-
ed sentence of death upon him. He has thus
been under the aVenging gallows for over two
years. Tie unanimous opinion here is that
the Governor could not commute the sentence
OF Phillips without thereby practically sus-
pending the death penalty in Virginia during
his term OF office.
EFFECT OF THE HEAT.-The power of the
suns heat Just now is curiousIy illustrated on
the line OF the +. Street Railway. The track
layers on that road, between Seventh and
Fourteenth streets, failed to make allowance
for the expansion and contraction of the iron
by placing the joists so close together as to
allow no play or space for the frightening OF
the rails in hot weather. The result is that
at numerous places between the points named
the rails have been forced to find room by
drawing the spikes and raising themselves 10
the form of q bow or arch from two to three
inches above the timbers upon which they are
laid. As consequence, ride over that part
of the line Is at present somewhat like the
rolling of a vessel, aud the effect presented to
the eve ia decidedly odd Washington Star. |
