The Recent Casualty in Louisville-The Con
tractor and Architect Arrested for Murder
Intense Popular Excitement.

The Recent Casually in Louisville-The Con-
tractor and Architect Arrested for Murder
Intense Popular Excitement.
Louisville, October 13.-The public ex.
element concerning the fatal consequences
of the fall of the building in the course of
erection on Market street, last night, con-
tinues. There is a strong determination
on the part of the people to hold the par
ties to strict account for the death of the
victims. The reported death of one of the
boys, taken out alive, is incorrect.
A rule was issued in the city court
yesterday against the owners of the prop
erty, requiring them to show cause why
the building should not be torn down.
John Andrews, the architect, and John
He'll, the contractor, were arrested on
warrants charging them with the murder of
Harry Nolte, his wife, and two children,
| who were crushed by the walls. The ac-
cused were held to bail in the sum of So, 900
each.
The mortar used in the building was
wretched in character, being little better
than wet sand. The rear portion of four
houses were crushed by the falling walls.
ing, a whole family narrowly escaped a
Sltnllar IaCe 10 tnOSe WHO were crushed IN
the next house.
The coroner's inquest, which was COM
menced yesterday, was adjourned until to-
day, in order to obtain further reliable tes-
timony as to the cause of the disaster.
The victims were buried to-day. The
appearance of the remains was sickening.
The heads Of all were crushed in a fearful
manner, and the faces were badly cut and
mashed out of semblance to human fea-
lures.
The catastrophe has caused a deep i'm
preston throughout the community, and
the result will no doubt be an organization
of a system of building and inspection.
The loss on the fallen building will reach
$50. 600.

The MAYORS REPORT ON THE GAS
1NvEsTgGATIoNs.-We do not know that
Mayor Keiley's report on the gas investi-
cations will be presented to the Council this
afternoon, but presume it will, as there is
probably no reason why definite action
in the matter should be delayed. We trust
the report whenever made will justify the
expectations and the demands of the up
right and substantial citizens of Richmond,
who expect all public servants to do their
duty, and demand that they shall be pun
ished when they fail to do so.

Madrid, October 14.-Carlists continue
their agitations in Catalonia, where seye-

Oily repulsed. Three government vessels
are b~lockading the entrance to the harbor

Death Of "Fanny Fern"

Sarah Payson Parton, who died in New
York on Thursday, was born in Portland,
Me. She seems to have passed through q
somewhat stormy and cloudy girlhood and
womanhood, and passed into a mature life
before she made an entrance into the field
of literature. She was a descendant of
two old Puritan families of New England,
and, in common with her brother, N. P.
Willis, the well-known poet. inherited from
her father and mother a large share ofmen-
tai power and genius. She was educated
at Hartford, Conn.,, by Miss Catherine
Beecher, and was recognized as clever
young lady, high-spirlted and eccentric, and
addicteds to mischieyous and comical es-
capades.
While yet young, and soon after leaving
school, she married Mr.. Eldridge, of Bos-
ton. After the birth of three children, she
was left a widow and in somewhat embar-
raised circumstance. Of these straits came
her first literary venture, and in 1851 she
offered an essay signed Fanny Fern" to
one of the literary weeklies of Boston. 1t
was accepted and acceptable, for
the great reading public Immediately
demanded more, and Fanny Fern :"
grew into fame and favor. These leaflets
were gathered into q volume with the title
of Fern Leaves" and had a great sale,
no less than $4,000 copies of the book hav-
ing been sold. Little Ferns for Fanny's
Little Friends" her next book, had a fair
sale, and q second series of the LEAVES"
reached a very large edition. In 1854, her
first novel, Ruth Hall, appeared. Rose
Clarke, published in 1857, was a more
sunny work, and commanded a wider cir
Gle Of readers. These two novels were the
only ones which :" Fanny Fern I" ever pub
lished. In 1856 she was married to Mr..
James Parton, of New York city, the
historical writer.

The Confederates' Horses-The feast After the
Fight-ihc Poor of Lynchburg.
Some extracts from an admirable and
authentic life of General Grant, written
without a special view to campaign purpo-
ses, will refresh the memory of many Of
the "boys in grey'' as to the generosity of
the soldier to whom their chief surren-
dered his sword. The writer says:
"Aftcr the signatures were attached Ito
the terms of surrender) Lee said that he
had forgotten one thing. Many cavalry
and artillery horses in his army belonged to
the men in charge of them; but Of course,
it was too late to speak of that now.
Grant (interrupting) -"I will instruct
my paroling officers that all the enlisted
men of your cavalry and artillery who have
horses are to retain them just as the Off
GERS do theirs. They will need them for
their spring blowing and other farm work."
"Lee with great earnestness)I' General
there is nothing you could have done to
accomplish more good either for them or
the Government.
The Confederates, after they surrendered,
were faint and hungry, and were without
such bountlful supplies as their visitors
had. This becoming known to the latter,
the officers and men shared the contents of
their canteens and haversacks with the
grateful Confederates, and General Grant,
in addition, ordered the issuing of 10000
rations from the supplies of his army,
which afforded the hungry fellows such a
feast "as they had not had before for
months.0
Then came the work of paroling, after
which was the capture of Lynchburg. In
the order respecting that city the thought
full victor said, "Send a m for the
city to surrender. If it does SO, respect all
private property, and parole officers and
men the same as has been done here. = =
: = = If the city is surrendered, as it
will in all probability be, take possession
of all public stores. Such as may be of
use to your command appropriate to their
use. The balance distribute among the
poor Of the city,"
