THE case against Pomeroy, as the wit
nesses summoned will be ready to testify,
is substantially as follows: That York
made known to Simpson and Horton a
plan whereby Pomeroy could be caught;
that York was to notify Pomeroy through
a third person that he would like to have
an interview with him, and that at this
interview he should propose to sell his
vote; that Pomeroy readily acceded to
an interview with York; that prior to his
departure to see Pomeroy, in accord
ance with previous arrangement made
under these circumstances, York sub
mitted to a strict search Of his person by
Horton and Simpson, when a small sum
Of money was found thereon and taken
possession of by these two parties. that
they then accompanied York. it being
dark, nearly to the door Of the room
where Pomeroy was stopping, when they
saw him enter; that they waited until he
came out, when York exhibited the
money which Pomersy had paid him for
his vote. This will substantially be the
case Of the prosecution. Pomeroy will
wait until the case against him is made
up, when be will appear before the com
nittee and make his statement probably
on his honor as Senator.

that the situation was serious, bat the
government had no interest in conceal

can deputies not to act hastily. Nothing
Of an official character had yet been
done. The immediate duty Of the gov
eminent was to maintain order. He
objected to the sitting Of Congress under
the circumstances. Senior Gorilla then
stated that the King informed him Sat
urday last that he was firmly resolved
TO abdicate. The ministers sought TO
dissuade him from his purpose. HIS
Majesty asked for twenty-four hours to

could add was that be had not since

An EXTENSIVE FAILURE IN PITTsguRG.

PITTsBUR0, Feb. 81, 1873.
The fact OF the financial embarrassments of the
firm OF Wood Sons Il Co., extensive iron manufac-
turers has been prominent topic Of conversation
III business circles for some days, but 1t was not
thought that their complications were so serious
as to compel them to make On arrangement at as
early date as to-day. 1t appears that the firm
had number OF extensive contracts for railroad
iron, aud IN payment therefor were satisfied with
notes with unusually long time to run-so long, in
deed, that the banks declined to discount the pa.
per. This action brought about crisis, for few
days ago O considerable amount Of the
paper of the firm went to protest, and their bust
ness consequently was interrupted. The total
estimate Of the liabilities OF the firm has not been
precisely ascertained, but the supposition is that
they will reach $2,25O,O00. The paper which they
have In their possession foots up to ethng
their ether debts to over four hundred thousand
dollars The assets OF the company are alleged to
be ample to cover all liabilities. The firm own
piast furnaces, rolling and rail mill At Wheatland
staten, on the Pittsbnrg and Erie Railroad; the
Eagle Iron Works, In South Ptttsburg, vast con-
Germ, which, together with the stock, &C, are val.
ued in the aggregate at 50, 800, 900.
Wheatland works something like four hundred
thousand tons sf manufactured rails, contracted
read. This iron is ready for shipment And WINS to
be paid Tor In cash on delivery. but the number of
cars necessary to move such an immense amount
OF iron could not be procured and, in consequences
assisted In forcing the frm to suspension. 1t Is
also stated that the Terre Haute Railroad Com
pany Is Indebted to this concern in the sum of
1900, 900, which Is now due and remains unpaid
Not long since they sold 10 Messrs. Lewis, oliver

payment, that OF the sum Of $4,000, and they have

A meeting OF the creditors was held yesterday
and another meeting took place this morning but
no satisfactory arrangement was made. The firm
ask an extension Of two years but this was not
agreed to- and there was an adjournment OF the
creditors many OF them being Eastern mem until
next week, when the differences, no doubt, will be
adjusted. The business men OF this city have i'm

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

Beautiful Young Lady Burned to
Death An Yorkvillc-Her Brother In
jured I'm the Attempt to Save Her Life
The Grie1 OF Her Friends.
Yesterday morning, about seven O'Clock, sad
and painful accident occurred in Yorkvil!e, which
resulted in the death Of one OF the victins beau
tiul and accomplished young lady OF about twenty
two years OF age.
The young lady who lost her life was Miss
Elizabeth L. McGuinness residing at 1868 Third
avenue. 1t appears that she was in the act OF
klndling fire in q stove, for the purpose OF pre-
pairing breakfast for the family when her clothing
caught fire from the CRATE. Owing to the innam-
mable nature OF her apparel the flames spread
rapidly about her person, burning her entire body,
with the exception Of her head and face. Her
SCREAMS FOR HELP
brought her brother and father to her assistance,
who did everything in their power to put out the
fire that was literally consuming her body, but all
their efforts to save her were OF avail, the fire
had done Its work, and she fingered until four
o'clock In the afternoon when death put an end to
Her brother stated that he was lying in bed in
the next room to that In which the accident oc-
Cured, and, hearing his SISTERS screams, ran into
the apartment, and there q sight met his gaze
which almost paralyzed him. He tried to put ont
then ran back to his room and procured blanket.
Which he quickly wrapped around the body OF his
sister. BY this means he succeeded IN
PUTTING OUT THE FIRE.
Doctors White, Study and Mcclure were called
in to attend the sufferer. They did all that science
and medicine could do, but they were unable to
her life. Miss McGuinness was conscious up to
the moment OF her death. Her sullerings were
terrible. The members OF the family and her
friends stood by her bedside, trying all in their
power to alleviate her agony, but all to purpose.
The neighb0rs speak very highly Of her, They say
that she was young lady OF
HIGH ACCOMPLISHMENTS,
and was beloved by every one who knew her.
Her brother, Mr.. Patrick McGunness, who had
tried to save her life, was terribly burned about
| the hands. He was In bed last evening
| when the reporter called, and his sufierIngs
| his burns were intense. While he was
| speaking he was painfully affected. fears ran
| down his cheeks He said. 81 don't mind the pain
that the burns give me- 1t is the loss Of my dear
sister that gives me the most agony. She was the
| best girl that ever lived"
THE FATHER
OF the young man sat by the bedside OF his try
ing to calm him, but his agony was too heavy, and
| he refused to be comfOrted
| The rest OF the family, consisting OF two other
brothers, were terribly affected, and though they
are strong men, they could not stay the tears that
| coursed down their cheeks.
This sad accident has cast q deep gloom over O
once happy household, and 1t will take years to re-
| move 1t, II 1t ever can be removed.
The Coroner was notified, and will probably hold
inquest tomorrow.

Vermont, and her Prospects.

The editor of the Massachusetts
Roughman and Neao England jour
nal of agriculture has been sojour
ming in Vermont for a few weeks.
The following extract from one of his
letters to his journal will be interest
ing to Vermonters. He says: ''In
our sojournings in Vermont we have
seen everywhere the evidences of hap
piness, thrift and prosperity, and we
hazard our reputation for good judge
ment in expressing the opinion that
it is one of the most prosperous States
in the Union, and, in its feature, one
of the most promising. Certain it is
that its soils are rich and productive.
1t has its hills and mountains, and yet
statistics from the census returns show
that the value of agricultural products
in this State are fully equal to any
other State, east or west, on a like a.
mount of territory. In no State is
there a richerer more prosperous
dairying interest.
This has now become the leading
agricultural interest in the State,
though the raising of. wool is still the
business of very many farmers. A
cheese factory is found in almost every
town, and in many, more than one
factory. A very fine quality of cheese
is made at these factories, and the
work seems to be conducted in a scien-
tifc and skilltul manner. The Yer
mont butter, too, has a worldwide
reputation for excellence of quality,
and does credit to the Vermont wo-
men, The hill pastures, which in
fact afford sweeter feed than low or
flat lands, and the running brooks of
pure water, which gurgle from every
hill side, have much to do in produc-
ing so excellent quality of butter. =,

Union for the Sake of Union.

We concur with the Pioneer in that
the New York World takes n very
sensible view of the political situation.
The Democratic party, though in a
nominal minority, numbers three mill
ions of voters. Outside of the organ
ization are about three hundred thous-
and Liberal Republicans, and five
hundred thousand voters in the Grang-
es-the whole combined representing
vast majority Of the people. All
these seek, and are determined to eff
feet, thorough reform in the Govern
ment. Their objects are identical,
but the names they pass by, and per-
sonal prejudices growing out of past
affiliations, are different. 1t ought
scarcely to be expected that the noun
tain should go to Mahomet. The
great party of the country is essen
TALLY democratic. however named in
its divisions. The Democracy have
no such pride fposition as to sickle
upon particular candidates, so that
they are honest men and reformers.
What it insists upon is a faithful ad-
herence to principle. 1t laid the
foundations of the Government, and
built up the structure, and now de-
mands that it should be preserved in
its perfection, as the fathers left it.
All who agree to that are Democrats,
even if they do not know the fact,
Anti-monopoly in all its Phrases
equality of rights and privileges
free soil, free speech, free trade, free
men-are the very bottom elements,
and vital ideas of the party. and al
ways have been. Let those, then
who agree in sentiment act together.
1t does not matter what you call it,.
Democracy Is the Old Guard to steady
the line, and hold it firm to purpose
Its allies standing on equal, and their
own ground are entitled to share in
every victory. United they can con-
quer Divided they are powerless to
effect the redemption of the country.
We would like to see the divisions
take council together. If they agree,
they will put an end to existing Cor.
ruption and misrule. The coalition
should be treaty, not truce Tile
