DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.
Three Persons Drowned In the YOuHhiOgheny
River.


River.
A distressing accident, says the Pittsburg
Commercial of yesterday, resulting in the
drowning of young lady and two men, oc-
cured near Osceola, on the Youshiogh heny river,
about 9 o'clock Saturday evening. 1t appears
that five persons, Michael Mcbride, Edward
Pryor. a Mr. Campbell, Miss Campbell, his sis
ter, and another man, name unknown, got into
o skiff to cross the river, and when about the
middle of fhe stream the boat commenced leak
ing, and before assistance could reach the
party, it sank, and all were left in the river.
Mr.. and Miss Campbell and Mr.. Pryor wers
drowned. The other two when they found the
boat was sinking jumped into the river and
swan towards the shore, and by the assistance
of parties who were drawn to the bank by their
cries were saved. 1t appears that the Campbels
were on their way to Osceola to do some busi-
ness and the other parties wishing to cross the
river got into the skif with them. Search was
made for the bodies, but up to half past l
o'clock yesterday only one body that of Pryor,
had been found. Deceased was about thirty
years of age and Scotchman. He has no rela-
tives in this country. The young lady was
about eighteen years of age and her brother
9bout twenty. Their parents reside near Green
Oak.
1t will be remembered that several months
ago sad drowning accident, by which three
persons lost their lives, occurred about one
mile above the scene of this distressing occur
renee. There seems to be sort of fatality at
tacbed to this portion of the Youghiogheny
river.

Life ia n Besleged City-Hov the People of
Paris Cor. (OcL 1s) PGlL Mall Gazette.
We have now been under lock and key for
more than month, and time begins to hang
weariy on our hands. Neither do the Germans
attack us, nor do the "Reds" seem 30 renew
their efforts to upset the Provisional Govern
ment and re-estabish the bloody commune.
Blanqui, Victor Hugo, Louis Blanc, and the
other leading Republicans of the more moderate
school continue to counsel tranquility, and Sapia
and Flourens are to be tried for insubordination,
for General Trochu is not the man to permit
the commander of the 146th Battalion to
serve out ball cartridge to his men and order an
attack on the Hotel de Vile, nor to allow Major
Flourens to march his troops about Paris with
out orders. So that with the firm attitude of
the Government, the peaceful attitude of the
population, and the cunctator attitude of the
enemy, our life is dull and mohotonous, espe-
cially as we are kept in blessed ignorance of all
that is passing in the great world beyond the
walls of Paris. Now and then we are re-
lieved by some firing from the forts and
sortie, which remind us OF the presence of King
William. Yesterday the Prussian batteries on
the heights of 81. Cloud had a duel with the
NortemArt battery and Mont Vaerlen, which
witnessed from the window OF house few
hundred yards to the rear OF the French earth
work. The supPositiOn is that we are to be re-
duced by hunger, and that when the Partisan
stomach is empty, then will King william 8
titles to Alsace, Lorraine, etc, become beauti-
fully clear. However, Minister MaRgiA tells us
that we have much more matton, beef and dry
stores than was at first imagined, so the process
of starving out will be long. A hopeful
grazier has offered, under heavy penalties to
supply %, 900 oxen in . months time, which
will draw out the game If the grazier succeeds.
Hippopbagy is on the increase. "a frst-class
horse, formerly the property of Count La
grange" is advertised al a restaurant.
The walls of Paris are placarded with bills
stating that 1900 breech-loading field-pieces are
required to place the Parsians on equal terms
with the enemy, and the National Guards are

A NOVELTY OF THE WAR.
The Paris Pigeon Mail.

The carrier pigeons doing good service,
writes Paris correspondent, but although these
will fly away from, they have never been taught
to fly back to Paris. Besides the poor birds
cannot carry any great weight so it is proposed
that any number of letters should be photo
graphed in infinitesimally small characters upon
a sheet of the very finesT tissue paper that half
n dozen copies should he made and entrusted to
microscope should be used to decipher the cor
respondence.
Only few of the birds have as yet accom-
plished their mission One of them was picked
up at sea in an exhausted state by English
steamer in the British Channel and forwarded
to the authorities at Havre, but the rain had Oh
liberated all the writing on its wings except the
date, which was the 4th October and therefore
some seventeen days old.
Brussels paper, speaking of these birds,
says that it is not always safe to trust to their
aid, and cites the instance of q contemporary at
Antwerp, who, unwilling TO pay for telegraph
message sent his reporter to the opening of the
Belgian Parliament with orders to despatch two
pigeons with full copy of the Kings speech.
He arrived at Brussels, gave the birds to the
porter of the hotel, ordered fricasee for
breakfast, and went down to the Chambers.
His task finished, he returned to his lodgings,
made his copy, ate and praised his lunch, and
then asked for the pigeons to be brought in-re-
ceiviDg as a reply from the waiter that "he had
just eaten them" If Paris is brought to ex-
tremities, will there not be considerable danger
that these vehicles of correspondence will be
used in the kitchen rather than at the post
office?

Surrender of Bavarians.


Tours, Nov. 15.-It is rumored that a large
body of Bavarians surrendered near Arthenay
yesterday. Prince Frederick Charles is now
within five days march of the Army Of the
Loire. The Prussians occupied Dole on the
18TH A despatch from Nezieres, dated yester-
day. says a force of 800 troops made a sortie
there on that day and released body of Franc
tireurs who were surrounded al Perl. One
hundred Prussians were placed hors de combat.
Another Great Battle.
LONDON, Nov 15- Special to New York Tele-
gram. -Despatches from Blois and Tours con-
firm the fact that rumors have been received
that battle has been fought near Arthenay.
The extent of the loss to the Prussians is not
yet ascertained, but that another French victory
has been obtained seems to be without doubt.
The conflict originated in an attack on General
Won Der Tam along the road leading between
Chevilly and Orleans, and the fight has evi-
IDENTIFY been very desperate one.
Indications of hurried and complete retreat
of the Germans are reported to be everywhere
visible in the neighborhood of Orleans, aud SUBJ
sequent dispatches will no doubt confirm what
at present seems to be indstnet rumors, founded
on information of straggiers of villages and
the army
The French are following up the recent vic
tories with Considerable fervor and dash, and
the latest reports from the interior of Paris,
where the news of the victories has been Off
cially published, have given ''silver lining to
the dark cloud of despair that seems to hang
over the doomed CITY,"

invited to subscribe for them. Every one is full
of the coming sortie in force which is openly
discussed. 1t is expected that 40 600 modified
National Guards will take part in the fray.
General Trochu is to command In person, hav-
ing Jules Ferry on one side, and Henry Roche
fort on the other, arrayed as colonies of the
staff This reminds us of the civil commits
sioners attached to the various armies during
the terror-gentlefnen who were accompanied
by travelling guillotine.
1t is a curious fact, for the truth of which
can vouch, that large quantity of Prussian
gold and silver is now circulating in Paris.
Some of our journals praise the members OF
the Government for their repub' lean dsinterest-
edness in only taking as a monthly remunera-
ton for their services E40. 1 can state posi-
lively that these disinterested politicians receive
$3.50 per month.
The mortality in Paris has greatly increased
this week. The previous eight days the deaths
were 1883; to-day they are 1910. This increase
is due to the prevalence of the smallpox. The
deaths by this disease were last week 2l2; this
week they are 3ll. The hospitals are filled not
so much from wounded as from sick soldiers.

Alabama state Fair.

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov 15.-The State fair
opened here to-day with fine prospects. The
entries are very numerous. The weather is very
fine and cool, and the horse show is the best
ever seen in this place, comprising many we'll
known thoroughbreds. Preparations for the
tournament are progressing rapidly.
On Wednesday morning the celebrated Lone
Star Base Ball Club, of New Orleans, play the
Montgomery County Club, and the Champion
Nutuals of New York play on Thursday and
Friday. The city is crowded, and the fair is
likely to prove decided success.
Result OF the Alabama Election.
The success of the Democratic State ticket is
generally conceded by from three to five thou
sand majority. The House will stand IS Demo
Gratis to 35 Republicans, about Is of the latter
being colored. The last House was about SO
Republicans to II Democrats. The Senate held
over. That body stands 81 Republicans to
Democrats. 1t is doubtful which party has the
majority on joint ballot.

The weekly bank statement up to the clsse of
business last night is rather unfavorable, show
ing loss in deposits of $3.50, ,765, in clearings
of 81 254, 564, and in balances of 5000, 779. On
the other hand there has been an increase of
s133 SS2 in specie and $175, ia in legal tender
reserves. The loans have also been contracted
S41, 500, which, contrasted with the loss in
deposits, shows q liberal action on the part of
the banks. The heavy falling off in the busi-
ness of the week, in the face of an active specu-
lative market, reflects the dull condition of gen
eTal trade.
The money market to-day is comparatively
quiet and settled and rates are without material
change.
Gold is moderately active and weak, with
Gales opening at 1l1ss and closing at ILL., un-
steady and weak.

WIFE DESERTION.
A Woman with Four Living Husbands.

A most remarR able case was developed at the
Tombs to-day. Rachel Rosenthal, an interest
iDg-looking young woman, on Saturday arrived
in this city from Poland, with her three chill
dren, in search of her husband, Isaac Rosen-
thai, to whom she alleges she was married in
the province of Gabama, Russian Poland, in
1860. Her husband she alleges, left her six
years ago, promising to send for her shortly.
The promise was not fulfilled, and after months
of hard labor she saved enough to pay her own
and childrens passage to this country. On her
arrival she learned that ROsenthal had married
a woman named Ophelia Jacobs two weeks ago
at the synagogue in Pearl street. She applied
for warrant against him, and he was to-day
arraigned at the Tembs before Justice Hogan.
1t now appears that Ophelia Jacobs has been
married to no less than four men, named resPec-
lively Markeritz, Gerstein, Mendel, and Rosen-
thal, all of whom are yet living. Opheia Jacobs
and Isaac Rosenthal were committed for e2ami-
natioa.-N. Y. Post last evening.

Court Of Oyer and Termtner-JIdges LudLou0 and

This morning Mr.. Brewster resumed his argument
in favor of the prisoner. His argument is partlcu-
larly fine one sut is hard one TO put on paper.
His position Is that the confession as detailed by
Dunn should NOS be received by the jury or allowed
to operate against Hanlen. He said his client had
been treated most unfairly; that he had been put
through a process not surpassed for cruelty and
made any confession at all It had been extorted
frsm him by means that were violatve OF the most
not be used for his destruction. He cited an Eng
lsh statute passed in the year 1890 prohibiting a
prison keeper 10 influence any man In his charge 30
accuse himself, and said that although this statute
had not been adopted into our jurisprudence, yet
the Constitution OF the United States and OF this
Commonwealth had regarded the spirit OF 1t when
It commanded that man accused OF crime should
be confronted by his accusers, ana that he should
not be compelled to testify against himself He
oted large number OF authorities both ancient
and modern, in support Of his position.
