Thu DEATH RATE.-Phlladelphia is
alarmed about the enormous increase III
the death rate since the hot season set in.
For the week ending July 90 there were
COL reported deaths, being an increase Of
a51 over the mortality Of the preceding
week, and 1876 more than during the cor
responding week ot,last year. The causes
assigned are the warm weather the filthy
condition of some Of the streets, the foul
ness of the crowded tenement houses in
narrow alleys and courts, the consump-
ion by the children 'ot unripe fruits,
which are sold from tho street stands, the
excitement, haste and indiscrction with
which men pursue the daily rounds OF
their business, hOcdless Of exposure to the
fierce heat Of The sun, and careless Of
what they eat or how they eat il" and

The VIRGINIA VALLEY RoAp.-The
Senate of Maryland on Tuesday passed to
third reading and ordered to engrossment
a bill to enable the mayor and city council
of Baltimore, in conformity with the provi-
sions of an ordinance heretofore passed,
to subscribe to the amount of one million
Of dollars to the capital stock of the Valley
Railroad Company, incorporated by the
State Of Virginia. Colonel Harmon, presi-
dent of the Virginia Valley railroad, was
present in the Senate Chamber.
The ordinance of the Baltimore city
council subscribing the one million dollars
to this railroad requires that $1,000, 900
shall also be subscribed by the Virginia
counties. 1t is understood that 100000 OF
this sum has been subscribed already By
the countics--Rockhridge and Botetourt
and the city Of StauntoD. The balance of
the SUM required is expected to be sub
scribel as follows: From Augusta $780,
900. and from Roanoke 100000. When
the whole sum is subscribed the ordinance
Of the mayor and councils will become
effective, provided the whole matter re-
ceives the ratification of the people of Bal
timore AZ the election thereon, ordered for
the third Tuesday after ratification by the
Legislature. 1t is expected that the neccs-
sary legislation will be completed at An
napolis within week, and in that case the
election will fellow probably on the goth
instant. 1t is thought that when The act is
finally consummated so far as Maryland is
concerned, the subscription By Staunton
and the Virginia counties will 60 up to q
million and quarter OF dollars.--BaHi-

AN EDITOR ED-FESIAN
TROUBLES LEADING TO BL0opsHED.-And
yet another tragedy. The victim in this
case is Mr.. Patrick J. Mcehau, editor of
the Irish american, and o prominent Fe-
nian. About IL o'clock last night, as he
Was passing through Fourth street between
Broadway and Mercer, he was suddenly ap-
preached from behind by man who fired
two shots ut him, one of which took effect
in his neck. Alechan fell to the sidewalk.
The ,nan tried to escape, but Mr.. Joseph
Strauss: of the central police office, and
Officer Dunn, after chase, arrested
him. Mr.. Strauss took from his breast
pocket Colts revolver with two cham
hers empty. Notwithstanding this fact
the prisoner denied that he had fired
the shots. He was taken to the sta
tion-louse, where he proved to be James
Keenan,, a physician, who has been but
six months in the country, and is an cx-
secretary Of the Fenians. He was taken
before Mcchun, who had mean time been
conveyed to q neighboring drug store, and
was Positively identified by the latter as the
man who shot him. Mechan further de-
clared, after Keenan, was sent back to the
ilak Dc NuE utltllS W
explain why the attack had been made
upon him, as his relations with Keenan, had
always been friendly. The wounded man,
at his own request, was taken to the resi-
dence Of Edward l.. Carey, No. IA Pike
street. His wound was Of such serious cha
racter that he made his will, and q priest
having been summoned received the last
sacraments of the Church. The prisoner
(Keenan) remained lockcdup in the Mercer
Street police station, and pereistently denied
having fred upon Meehan, saying that his
relations with that gentleman had always
been amicabe. His presence on the spot
he accounts for by saying that his residence
is ut No. 10 west Fourth street, in front of
which the shooting occurred, and that he
was just returning home from a walk at the
moment. On the other hand, Sergeant Car
penter has the names of several persons
who distinctly affirm that they saw keenan,
fire both shots.
keenan, at JeFe'son Marhet.-Keenan
was brought up at Jefferson Market this
morning. On the testimony Of eight per-
sons, who witnessed the whole occurrence,
he was committed by Justice Cox to await
the action OF the Coroner. He denied posi-
lively firing the fatal shot. The courtroom
was crowded during the examination.--
