SENT ON FOR RAPE.--Aiaurice Riley,
charged with committing rape upon the
person Of Emma johnson. nearly a
year ago, was up before Acting Po-
lice Justice Crew to-day and after patient
hearing Of the case, Riley was. sent on to
tie grand jury for indictment. Both the
parties are colored. The testimony indi-
Gates that accused used some drug, proba-
bly, chloroiorm, to accomplish his purpose.
DR.. Samuel A. Robinson, also colored,
who offered as bail for Riley, was arrested
and is now in confinement on the charge of
swearing falsely as to the possession and
value of property. He is perhaps in
bad predicament; as Justice Crew is de-
termined to punish all attempts at decep-
ton in the matter of bail for parties accused
of crime.

Convention at Pittsburg, and said that be-

A DANGEROUS Observation-Disclosures
of the State House have, within the past
thirty-six hours, shown signs of giving
away. The arches beneath the statue
Of General Washington exhibit a
disposition to let down. General New
berry's attention was attracted by large
cracks and other evidence of weakness,
and he at once set to work TO make things
safe. The statue was removed from its
accustomed position, and the pedestal,
railing, &C., will be removed also, perhaps,
in order to permit the necessary work Of
repair.

Singular Railroad Occurreuce-Narro Es-
cape. .
Philadelphia, August 27.-At2 O'Clock
this morning freight train on the juno
ton railroad, on its way to this city, pass
ed over the iron bridge, which is built over
the Reading railroad, about half mile
from the Broad street intersection. When
more than half the train had passed over
safely the bridge broke and precipitated
four of the freight cars, laden with coal oil,
down amid the debris of the bridge, on to
the Reading railroad.
just as the crash occurred a coal train
on the latter road rushed up and collided
with the freight cars, piling twenty or thirty
upon the bank. The engine was completely
dismantled, and what made matters worse,
the coal oil cars took fire and general con-
migration ensued, the locomotive and many
cars being destroyed. Fortunately and
singular to say, no one was hurt.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
Philadelphia, Aug. 2S.-Thc names of
the killed last evening, by the New York
train colliding with carriage at Tacony,
were Robert Deal, his two grandchildren,
Ella Frieburg and George Mulock, aged
about ten years; a young lady, Miss Snyder,
and the coachman named Porter. The lat
ter fell on the cow-catcher and lived a short
time.
The others died almost instantly. The
track crossed carriage road in the vicinity
three times at the grade. The parties were
Philadelphians, and were riding in car
riage belonging to Mr.. Middleton, at whose
house they had been on u visit.
THE CoRoNER's INQUEST.
The coroner's jury, empannelled to in
quire into The cause of the deaths of Reu-
len Deal, Mary Snyder, Ella Freeberger,
George Mulloch and Patrick Porter,
ostler, find, from the evidence pre-
sented, that the reckless and criminal
speed of the Cincinnati ) P. NJ express
train from New York was such in this case,
coupled with the fact of having no tlagman
stationed at Tacony station, as to cause
the death of the above named citizens. ,l

Richness Of the Kanawha Valley.

Richness of the Kanawha Valley.
The opportunities presented to the
capitals; are always more or less nu.
merous. but an opportunity to realize
100 TO POO per cent on Legitimate in
ve-tment is but seldom found The
Kanawha Valley, West Virginia, pos
sesses mineral resources as vet Jude
veloped. There are to be found lime,
coal, tire-clay and iron ore, together
with ample railroad and water commu-
nication. 1t is claimed by those IA
millar with the subject that iron can
there be manufactured five to ten dol
lars cheaper than anywhere else in the
United S ates. the raw or knocked
Goals OF Kauawha have proved TO be
equal to any ia the country for the
manufacture Of iron. They are hard,
DRY, spIint Goals, remarkably tree from
sulphur, and can be mined and deliver
ed at furnace (parties owning their
own coaD at an actual cost OF three 10
five cents per busbel, twenty-five bush
els to the ton, according to location OF
furnace.
Iron ore can be transported also from
the Allegheny ore region to kanawha
county at a cost reight included) OF
less than SO per ton, TO which must be
added fair profit or royalty on the
ores, il parties do not own their own
mines, and thus the total cost would be
about So so per ton. About two tons
OF the ore make one of iron, in practi-
cal furnace working. These ores are
very easily snelted, requiring less fuel
than most ores, and much less than the
hard ores OF Lake Superior and Iron
Mountain. The quality is also excel
lent, and the United States Government
preferred it to any other Tor the manu-
facture OF guns.
1t is estimated that at these rates for
ores and coal, iron can be made, at the
most, for SIS per ton; and as iron Is
now worth $50 to S55 per ton in the
market, there is left large margin OF
profit after the payment OF freight, DC.
In addition to the Allegheny ores,
there are also fine deposits OF ore in
Kanawhs, giving thirty-three to fifty
per cent to the ton, which would be
valuable for mixing, and would also
cost but very little. Good coal lands,
conveniently located on the river and
railroad, can be bought from $40 to sou
per acre.
Sites will be given to those who will
erect furnaces, and $4,000 to $4,000
will be subscribed toward a furnace
which shall cost 100000. 1t is esti-
mated that such a furnace could not
fail to pay 100 per cent on its cost the
first year.
Itmay be asked why, if these things
be, those people do not build these fur
naces themselves? But unfortunately
they have not the means, aud although
rich in lands AMI minerals they are poor
| in ready money. and therefore look to
outsi capital to develop the mineral
riches by which they are surrounded

NEW YORK.

June l5.-There is little more in-
quiry for Foreign, but the market is
without any marked change. Manu-

compel, and with the hi. h views Of the

domestic wool, trade is much restricted.
There has been come inquiry for Cape
