while fastening cable at the top of the
high trestle work on the west abutment
of the bridge, this morning, slipped and
fell to the abutment beneath alighting
on pile of iron bolts. The back part
of his skull is badly crushed and he was
otherwise dangerously injured. He was
removed to the hospital where he will
probably die.
John Anderson and James Lewis,
colored, quarreled about ten days ago.

arrested on charge of murder.
Charges of Bribery Prove GrOundIesS.
New YORK, March GA special dis
patch from San Francisco says that
Washington kilograms renew the
charge that Senator Casserly's election
was tainted with bribery, and that such
is the general sentiment of the people
here. 1t eXcites only surprise and in
dignatiOn. The Legislature which
elected the senator had these bribery
charges before them at the time, but the
senate, which had a majority of Repub-
licans, none Of whom voted for Casserly,
indefinitely postponed the consideration
of the whole matter, more than five
years ago. His friends appeal to his
whole course in congress as a conclusive
answer to anything imputing to him
subserviency to capitalists in California,
or elsewhere.
Mother Falls Bead at the bedside of
her ErrfBR Daughter.
LOUISVILLE, March 27.-Fanny, a
servant girl from Marshall county, en-
plOyed in the family of Evan Clark, a
prominent citizen of Smithland, Ken
tucKy, was sent by Clark to the house of
woman in the neighborhOod last Fri
day. On Saturday the girls mother
came to see her, but Clark refused to
tell of her whereabouts. The mother
finally learned from the citizens where
her daughter was, and going to the house,
she entered the room just as the daughter
gave birth to a child. The shock OF
the disgrace was so great that the mother
walked to the bedside of the erring girl,
and, without speaking a word, fell on
the floor, dead. A physician was
promptly summoned, under the sup
position that she was in q swoon, but on
examination it was found that lie was
extinct. The girl says that Clark Is the
father OF the child. There is intense
excitement in Smithland over the
affair.
The Goodrich Murder.
NEW YORK, March 27.-It was ru-
mored early this morning that the mys-
terious woman who was suspected of
numbering Goodrich had been arrested.
The police declined any information.
AS an evidence of the inefficiency of the
Brooklyn detectives and police, it may
be stated that of the numerous mysteri-
GUS murders in that city, reaching near
ly eight within few years, no clue has
as yet been ascertained in any of them
of satisfactory character. The ener-
gies OF the police of Brook
lyn are still turned toward the
capture of the mysterious woman
who is supposed TO have murdered Good
rich. She was from New England, and
resided SON g time IN Boston. Several
other letters, now in the possession of
the police, show that she was finely ed
ucated. The last letter was dated Feb
ruary 9th, and is reproachful in tone,
as though some trouble had Originated
between Goodrich and the writer. The
letters are under the general head of
New York, and are signed with an as
sumed name. Nothing has yet been
discovered to indicate the direction of
her flight. The police conceal her
name.

dent, accompanied by the members of
his family, left tonight for New York,
