Shocking Suicide.

LEXINGTON, February 3.-A heart
rending affair occurred here at - A. NJ.
to-day. Miss Lew Gibbons, an estim-
able young lady, seventeen years old,
residing with her parents on Main
street, cut her throat from ear to ear,
using a razor belonging to brother.
The incision was deep one, entirely
severing the wind pipe, posterior and
anterior jugular. She lived but a few
moments and expired composedly.
When interrogated as to the cause OF
her strange conduct, she said she was
lad to commit the act through the
depression of spirits, having been
abused by her father at an early hour
this morning.

WASHINGTON, February f.
Tne Tribune and the Administration
The independent position of the New
York Tribune toward the Admlnistra,
ton continues to excite alarm. To make
a little war on this end Of the line It
has been determined by Mr.. Conkling to
commence the prosecution against the
Washington correspondent of that
journal for refusing to testify where he
procured a copy of the Washington
treaty, which prosecution has been sus-
pended since last spring. The case
will be opened in the police court next
week and the correspondent in question
has been notified to be ready with bail
if he wishes to avoid arrest.
The Administration will have some
difficulty in getting its
Adjournment Resolution
passed in the House. The Ways and
Means committee, to whom this resolu-
ton has been referred, have decided
that no adjournment shall be had until
a bill to reduce the tariff has been acted
upon. It's further intimated that when
the struggle to pass this resolution does
come, the Republicans in the House
will divide as they have in the Senate.
Senator Davis,
OF Kentucky, will endeavor to get the
floor tomorrow to deliver his speech on
his resolution of inquiry as to the Presi-
dents connection with the Seneca sand
stone, &c. 1t is anticipated that Conk-
ling, Morton and other Administration
champions will try to head off this
speech, as they dread its effect upon the
country at the present time. ALPHA.

Distressing Afafr-TwO Young
Ladies' Drowned.

CINCINNATI, February 1.-Two young
men, accompanied by two young ladies,
of this city, Mary and Kate Daley,
sisters, took a trip over to Newport,
Kentucky, tonight on the ice. They
crossed over safely and started on their
return and had gotten within forty or
fifty feet of the shore on this side, when
the ice gave way and they were precip-
itated into the river. They young men
succeeded in gaining the shore but the
ladies were swept under the ice and
drowned. Their bodies have not yet
recovered. The action OF the young
men, whose names could not be learned,
is severely censured for not trying to
save the ladies, the water where they
went in being only five feet deep. They,
however, lett the ladies to their fate and
waded to the shore, calling Justify al
every step for help.

a majority Of the votes cast, 1t shall be

stitu,ion be adopted or not, the two
places having the highest vote shall be
vo'ed for, and the one receiving a
majority shall be the Capital.

CHARLESTON, February 3.
The Con, ention has refused to regu-

made in the Legislature to change the
existing law in relation to that subject.
The bill will be discussed in the House
OF Delegates on Monday, and whatever
may be its fate there, it is certain that
the Senate will not agree to any change
in the present law. / think your busl-

Senator Baker, of your city, desires
me to say that he has received the in
structionsI passed by the Council on
Friday night in relation to the bills
authorizing subscriptions to the Ohio

Charged with Larceny-PrfsOne
Sentenced.
CHICAGO, February An November
last young man named johnson come
came here from Toledo to buy grain
for his father. He brought with him
several $40 bonds OF $500 each. He
concluded to wait for the fall invoices,
and took rooms at % West Madison
street with Mrs. Boyce, with whom,
she claims, he was criminally intimate
in Buffalo. While there he got ac-
quainted with a Lake skipper named
Jones, with whom he spent much of
his time. On the lst Of December the
police were notified that johnson had
died at the above number, and an in
quest was asked, which resulted in
verdict Of death from congestion OF the
lungs. Capt. Jones then took charge
of the body, and received from the
coroner two Of the bonds and insisted
that there were more, but Mrs. B. said
there were not, and accounted for the
absence of the others by saying that he
was a hard drinker. The body was
conveyed to Cleveland and buried. The
Young mans folks were not satisfied,
and set detectives to work. On
Thursday Mrs. Boyce was arrested,
charged with larceny. Two OF the
missing bonds were found in her pock-
etbook. The case came up yesterday.
Mrs. B. plead her own case, stating
that the bonds rightfully belonged to
her child, of which she said johnson
was the father. She was held in
$1,000 bail to await the action Of the
Grand Jury.
Yesterday being the close Of the
term in the Criminal Court, Judge
Free sentenced large number OF pris-
oners, among whom was one for man
slaughter and one for murder, to prison
for life.
