A MAN SMoTHERED. -Thos. McCue, an
employe in the brewery of Massey q Co., at
10th and Hilbert streets, suffered death
from suffocntion in fermentation vat this
morning. These watts are large and high
wooden tubs, and it is the practice each
morning after the mash is removed to send
down workmen aud clean them out. Be-
fore doing this it is necessary to provide
against the deadly presence of carbonic
acid gas, which arises in all processes OF
fermentation. For this purpose lighted
candle is always lowered down into the
bottom of the vat, and if the flame is eX-
tinouished the gas must be expelled before
it is safe for the workmen to begin the
work of cleaning. On account of the height
of the vat, the top is reached by ladder,
and this morning, as Mr.. McCue was stand
ing on the top waiting the descent of the
candle the ladder slipped, and he fell to the
bottom. The candle was extinguished, and
his fcllow-workmen could not see to rescue
him. A rope was quickly strapped around
the waist of another man, and he was low
cred down, but the gas had collected in
such volumes that be quickly cried to be
pulled out again. The gas was finally
driven out by burning q quantity of straw,
and the body of the unfortunate man re-
covered, but it was too late-life was eX-

Chesapeake and Ohio Connections.

1t is quite gratifying to observe the inter
est manifested by the Ohio cities in the dit
ferent lines by which it is proposed to eX
tend the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad
westwardly. The interest in the subject
increases as time passes. There will be nc
delay, we conjecture, In the completion Of
those connecting lines. We observe in the
Cincinnati Commercial the following eX.
tract from the report of committee on the
survey of one Of the proposed lines from
Cincinnati to the Chesapeake and OHIO
railroad terminus on the Ohio: !
1.-THE corrective survey Of the Ironton,
Portsmouth and Cincinnati railroad mas
been completed, and the result, accompa-
MED by profile maps, estimate OF cost VI
construction, &c will be laid before the
officers Of the Chesapeake and OHIO Raii-
road Company in the course OF few weeks
for inspection.
The whole distance from Columbia to
Portsmouth by this airline route is ninety
two to nlnety-three miles, which can be re-
duced to ninety miles when the road is
permanently located, with maximum
grade of thirty.tive feet, and no abrupt
curves, and not exceeding SIX hundred ieet
of tunneling, fi1y-four miles OF the line
being almost straight line and level
ground, through Clermont and Brown
counties, with few bridges and culverts OF
an inexpensive character.
The grading will not, it is considered,
cost over one million dollars, which amount,
it is not unreasonable to suppose. can be
secured along the line Of the road, including
Portsmouth and Cincinnati subscriptions,
and the right of way be secured without
cost TO the company.
1t is believed that the merits of this route
above all others will commend it to the ia.
vornble action and cooperation of the Ches.
apeake and Ohio Railroad Company when
they come to final determination to reach
Cincinnati as all objective point for their
western and southwestern connections, and
it is unnecessary to eXpatiate lengthity
upon the advantages of this railroad enter
prise to the citizens of Scioto, Adams,
Brown, Clermont, and Hamilton counties,
Cincinnati included, as they are well un-
derstood and appreciated, and will, l trust,

shall be fully inaugurated, and the proper

mitted last night thirteen miles from this

nasina and Mrs. Newton, bis sister, were
dore Myers. Bonasina is dead, and Mrs.
Newton will probably die. Myers is still
at large, but considerable reward is offered
for bis arrest. Mrs. Newton thinks Myers
was hired to murder them. It appears she
was married last summer to one Freiden-
hall, who owned the property, but who
decided it to her after the marriage. A quar-

A BLOODY TRAGEDY IN BULLoCH COUNTY.
We learn from parties who arrived in the
city yesterday from Bulloch county the fol-
lowing particulars of very mysterious
tragedy which occurred at the residence Of
Mr.. Joseph Davis, in that county About
5 O'Clock Wednesday morning the inmates
of MIR. Davis's house were alarmed by the
loud screams of his wife. Her sister ran to
the room, and found Mrs. Davis sitting on
the bed. AS soon as she entered the room
Mrs. Davis said /" am bleeding to death !;
run out and call some of the neighbors )"
after which she sank doWn-on the bed q
corpse. On examination, it was found that
some one had cut her throat, and from the
nature of the wound it is thought that it
was inflicted with pocket-knife, which
was afterwards found in a tub of water in
the yard. At the time that The wound was
Inflicted Mrs. Davis was sleeping in bed
with her two little children. Her husband
was off from home on a fishing frolic, and
the sad news of this tragedy was az start

Trade With the Atlantic Coast.

A local paragraph in Yesterdays DIS.
patch announced the shipment of lot of
bacon by rail from this city to Charleston,
S. g. This was quite an event. Although
there has been for many years an all-rail
line from Richmond to Charleston, adverse
interests and narrow-minded policy have
utterly obstructed trade by it. 1t was not
until the present year that this miserable
obstruction was gotten rid Of, aud trade at
last allowed to flow in natural way by
the most eligible route to its destination.
II Is under this improved order of: railway
management that this shipment was made.
Now, when the Chesapeake and Ohio
railway is completed, and its westward
connections to Cincinnati, Louisville, st.
Louis, and beyond, perfected, there will
be large trade between the West and the
northwest and the southern-Atlantic
States carried on through this great rail-
road. Richmond must have the handling
of portion of that large trade, and its
volume will be such as greatly to swell the
business aud profits of the Chesapeake and
Ohio railway.
The prospect for us is bright, and we
have presented to us multifarious resources,
which could have no existence without this
road. It must, in commercial
sense, make for Richmond new heaven
and new earth. Richmond, with all the
and utilities that nature has en-
dowed it with, would liDger on for years,
growing slowly and afording little induce
ment Tor new enterprises, had she not some
channel OF communication with the West.
Inst accomplished, however, we shall see
her rise rapidly in commercial and manu-
featuring Importance, and her people will
be amply rewarded for their long waiting
and their strong hopes under circumstances
well calculated to produce despair.

The Presidents Letters.

That sharp critic the Cincinnati Com
mercial, Republican orean," takes up
the recent letters Of President GRANT,
which it says have been " of character to
test the patience Of his friends and provoke
smiles not ut all respectful from his ene-
miles," The Commercial strongly suspects
BABcocK (private secretary Of having chad
something to do with them. He Is not en-
dowed with either the sense or the Judgment
of RAwLINs, and has vein Of folly and con-
ceit which was well displayed the other day
in an epistle to one of the army societies, in
which he said "neitber the President nor
myself will be able to attend" What other
Government could produce such speci-
men of consequential private secretary ?
Reviewing the letter to Earl DALKEITH
about the SCOTT festival, the Commercial
next takes up the letter recommending the
enterprise of MIR. P.S. GILMORE, of Boston,
for getting up "uniyersal musical jubi-
lee" in Boston next year. GILMORE goes
to Europe, and the President urges all u.
S. Government agents there to help him, as
the Commercial says, In his effort "to get
sshold Of the whole world and make noise
"with it +; the nations being supposed to be
'sabout to sing together like the morning
"stars when they give grand concert.
"Mr. GILMORE Is determined to bring the
"nations into il, and Boston. the ''hub OF
the universe" is the place where this great
concert of nations Is to take place. The
President, enthused with the grand affair,
gives G1LMoRE his autograph letter, not per.
uniting the intervention Of BABcocK. The
letter is model, as our readers remember,
and loses nothing in absurdity by the COM
ments of the Commercial. "
The Comm ercial grotesquely enough hits
off President GRANTS genial communities
lions to WILLIAM of Prussia thus:
elf Gilmore P. 81 had not been modest
he might have obtained an autograph let
ter from the President to Kaiser William
impressing upon the old Emperor the re-
Inarkable consanguinity between the En-
pire Of Germany and the Republic of

physical similarities that the luminous pen
of an eminent historian may trace between
two great peoples. This, supplemented

The President is prone to these absurd
epistles. He has little dignity to lose, but
In this surrender of the official influence of
the Government to help along the Boston
humbug growing out of the mere spirit of
money-making, he certainly loses little of
his small quantum Of that grace, and, be-
sides, wrongs the foreign agents Of the
Government BY belittling them to this low
business.
