Fearful Scene in a Theatre.
[From the Pittsburah Chronicle, March 2Sd

from the Pittsburah Chronicle, March asa.
A startling and absolutely frightful
accident occurred yesterday afternoon
at the matinee at the Opera House.
Fortunately the accident was not at
tended by any very serious results, but
it's possibilities were terrible. LAsELLE
and MnLsoN were performing together
on the trapeze, suspended high above
the orchestra. They were performing
particularly daring feat. Each with
an arm clasped about the other, they
slid rapidly, heads downward, over the
bar intending to catch their feet in the
angles formed by the ropes, and SO
hang in mid. air. In some manner their
feet failed to catch in the angles, and
the men, clasped in each others arms,
came crashing together, heads down
ward, upon the floor of the orchestra.
AS they fell each uttered great cry.
The excitement in the audience was of
course intense, the ladies screaming
and the men rushing toward the scene
of the accident One lady went into
Mysteries. 1t was subsequently ascer-
tanned that she was the wife of one Of
the fallen. Mr.. LAsELLE was on his
feet almost instantly, unhurt, but MIL
SON lay helpless and moaning on the
floor. It seems that he had fallen on
his side with his companion on the top
of HIM. The injured man was carried
by Mr.. DREAMER and Mr.. LAsELLE
through the orchestra doorto the stage,
and in few moments the stage man
ager appeared and announced to the
audience that the accident was not Sc
ri Gus, Mr.. MILLsoN only having been
stunned. The announcement was re-
ceived with cheers, and the audience
resumed their seats and the perform
ance went on. In few moments the
acrobats came again upon the stage
and bowed to the audience, after which
they withdrew amidst hearty applause.
When the performance was over, MILL
SON stood at the stage door as the au-
dience Withdrew. He was looking pale,
but was smiling and spe king to his
friends. No bones were broken, and
so far as known no internal injuries
were received. 1t seems almost mirac-
ulous that such an accident should
have results of so little seriousness.

Private receptions are beginning
among the American and foreign resi-
dents of Rome. Instead of having had
receptions regularly all Winter, many
ladies this season have selected GER
tain months for receiving. The wife OF
our Consul, Mr.. Armstrong, is to re-
cieve every Friday of March. Mrs.
Crowninshield, the wife of the extreme
ly clever Boston landscapist, receives
on the Thursday evenings of this
month. These receptions at some OF
the houses are made very brilliant by
music and parlor theatricals. They
are not open to the public; cards are
sent by the ladies to their friends.

PRoF. HTLoARD, State GeoIogist Of
Louisiana, explains the origin of the
mud islands found in the upper delta
of the Mississippi, as miniature volca-
noes, upheavals from the river bottom,
with central crater. It is predicted
that this phenomenon, which is pecu-
liar to this river, will cease as soon as
the bar advances past the "blue clay
shelf into the deep water of the Gulf,
now nine miles out. For, be it remem-
bered, neither the Mississippi river
nor the state of Louisiana are yet fin
jshed.

The TIMES of Saturday contains az
other chapter of its exposure of the Tamma-
ny leaders. In that issue it gives an extract
from the books showing when, for what pur
pose and to whom the money was paid. These
accounts published are for furniture for the
new court house, carpenters and other re
pairs, including the furniture for the armo
ries, for the years 1869 and 1870. 1t does moi
include any new buildings, simply repairs and
furniture; yet in two years Mayor Hall and
Controller Connolly allowed and gave war
rants for the sum of $5,663, 646S3! These
the Times adds, are county accounts and saws
that the city accounts will reveal still greater
frauds. 1t claims that there is a fraud ia
every line of the account published, which il
never expected to have behold the light and
be stared at by the people who are robbed to
pay the enormous and fraudulent bills.
In one month, a carpenter named Miller
drew $500, 81, of which sum SIC, 297.53 was
drawn the last day of the month.
The Times says: "Either the figures given
in the accounts published are correct copies
from Controller Connolly's books or they are
1orgeries. 1t they are the former, Hall and
Connolly stand convicted of being parties to as
plain fraud as was ever committed; if thew
are lorgeries, Hall and Connolly had better
come cut and say so. We will make cor
rection in the figures whenever Connolly can
prove that they are wrong"
The Times does not wish to consider the
question OF these frauds as party one, but
the country will bear in mind the fact that
the Tammany chiefs propose to extend their
system to the nation; and its leaders, to-day,
constitute the only powerful organization in
the East if not in the whole country,

DESTRUCTION OF WASHINGTON ARsENAI.-
AT three o'clock Saturday morning an explo.
sion occurred in small magazine in the
Washington Arsenal, which is used in the
preparation of rockets, lights and shells for
the signal corps The explosion was distinctly
heard in the Northern part of the city, and it
was Immediately followed Dy an alarm of fire,
for it caused serious confagration, involving
the destruction of at least ST. 900 600 in govern
ment property. The flames communicated to
a frame building near by and were carried
thence to what is known as storehouse No. 3
in which was stored all kinds of cavairy and
artillery equipments. In this room too was a
model room or museum, in which was stored
all kinds of models and specimens of foreign
arms and equipments, and which is serious
loss to the government, aside from the intrin-
sic value of the articles destroyed. Store
house No. was also in danger and would
probably hove been destroyed but for the fact
OF the wind There was Lot much powder
kept stored in the magazine where the explo.
sion occurred, as the arsenal makes no pyrotec-
pics or explosive articles except for the signal
corps upon special order. Sergeant Flint
was at work in the magazine Friday night and
when he left his work all things seemed to be
In good order. 1t is supposed thar the explo-
sion was the result of spontaneous combustion.
The fire also communicated to another small
building in which were stored saddle trees and
ether equipments. The quantity of iron in
this building Can be made available in the fu-
ture. The buildings to which the flames COM
munlcated were totally destroyed and several
houses near the large buildings were Injured
