Williamsburg, this morning, a balcony crowded
with spectators suddenly broke down, and all
were preciptated to the sidewalk. The balcony
was seventy five feet long, and Tell TWO stories

people. The list regiment Of this city had
been visiting the Attn rcgilncut, and were re-
turning home, the streets being filled with
thousands of people. just as the last two com
pauies Of the LIST regiment Were opposite the
building on which was attached the balcony, 1t
gave way, preclpitatiug them on the heads of
the people below. The military immediately
halted laid down their arms and rushed to the
assistance of the people. Those who were hurt
were taken to hospital, which was contiguous
to the building where the accident occurred.

The New York Herald, after review of the
present condition of affairs in Europe, comes to
the conclusion that latter all the efforts, sacri-
fees, experiments, failures and lessons Of the
last three or four years, Spain has apparently
gained nothing by dismissing Isabella, and it
would seem to the hard, worldly mind that the
French people might have done better than
urge Napoleon to war and then spurn him in
the hour of his and their misfortune" We
are willing, however, to wait awhile, and see if
something better than we now have, will not re.
suit to both Spain and France-but we confess
the prospect is not favorable.

NIGHT PROFESSIONS AND PARADEs. In the
report of the capable foreman OF the grand
Jury, John r. Ford, esq.,, the bold and decided
ly novel presentment is made of all political
parades at night, with music, guns aud trans
parencies, as a nuisance, and the recommends
ton is made to the police board to discountc-
nance them if they cannot prohibit them.
This is move in the right direction. 1t IS
remarkable, indeed, that similar step has
never before been taken in behalf of the long
suffering public. The abuse seems to have
grown up unchallengcd to such proportions that
the quiet and comfort Of orderly, respectable
citizens are completely at the mercy Of the sleep
numbering professions that seem TO have
possession Of the city during the hours that
should be devoted to beautiful repose and
slumbers. Auy gang of noisy mig htowls With
a drum and a half dozen Internal brazen lnstru-
ments, can occupy the streets at will from dusk
to dawn, filling the air with their drunken yells
and discordant brayngs, and etfcc;ualIy de-
stroving the rest of the large portion OF the
community who have legitimate business to at
tend to in business hours aud require sleep 10
the hours proper for sleep to enable them to
do their daily work. 1t is to be hoped that the
action of the grand jury of Baltimore will bear
fruit so that it shall be recognized that qnet
citizens have some rights in the matter of rest
and sleep that the parading night-owls are
bound to respect - Washington Star.

The Poisoning Case.

SPECIAL Dispatch to the Baltimore Sum-
SrAUNToN, Va, Sept. 9.-The adjourned
inquest on the death of Chas. W: Allen met al
Mt Sidney, ten miles from Stanton, tn:
morning. and continued their investigation. The
evidence for the defence was chiefly given by
Miss Eliza Allen, sister Of the dead man, who
testified that he directed bis wife to buy the
arsenic to kill rats; that she, the witness, made
the chicken soup in which it was believed the
poison was administered, and that she dlshed
it out for her brother, and that the wife had
nothing to do with it.
Another witness testified that the doctor who
attended Allen 10 his last moments told him
(witness) that lie ought to get double -barreled
gun and shoot Napier, man with whom Mrs.
Allen had been disreputably named, and also
that the man Napier was at Aliens house to
see Mrs. Allen the day after her husband
funeral. The medical men testified to the fact
that the analysis, though only partially COM
pleted, showed the probable presence OF arsenic,
the stomach having yielded a precipltate that
nothing but arsenic yields.
One Of the witnesses testified that when AL
len was dying he several times called him to his
bedside, saying: II wantto tell ou"-but was
too i'll to flush the sentence.
The jury, Notwithstanding the testimony OF
the dead man sister, brought ina verdict, after
five minutes deliberaton, of murder against
Mrs. Sarah NJ. Allen, and her preliminary ex'
animation takes place in Stanton Thursday.
Mrs Aliens father was present during the ex-
animation to-day.

Po1IT1cAL.- The difficulty in the Conserva-
tive party in Orange county has been satlsfac-
tor;ly arranged, and everything there is now
working harmoniously, and With the prospect
of very gratifying result. W. R. Taliaferro,
delegate in the last Legislature, who was can
didate for reelection, has withdrawn IN favor
of DR.. David Pannill, who represented the
county in 1910, and who will now doubtless
receive the nomination. 1t is understood that
he will be opposed by his brother, Geo. Pan nil,
on the Radical side.
1t is understood that COL Mosby has written
letters to Gen. Grant and Postmaster General
Creswel, explanatory of his position in the
present canvass in this State, and urging upon
each, that if because of the patronage bestowed
upon him in the distribution of certain offices,
different course was expected on his part, 1t
would be gratifying to him to have the said ap-
pointments revoked. 1t is further stated that
the letters must have been satisfactory, as none
of the appointments made at the suggestion OF
Col. NJ. have been revoked.
Mr.. J. Randolph Tucker addressed very
large meeting at Wytheville yesterday. The
effort is spoken of as one Of great power and
effect. 1t is to be hoped that Mr. Tucker will
speak here during the canvass.
Messrs. Hughes and Ramsdell spoke at Buck
ingham Court House yesterday.
Mr.. R. I. Daniel, the Conservative candl.
date for Attorney General, made an able and
telling speech in Danville Monday night, dis
cussing several important subjects in which the
people feel much interest. The attendance was

was very encouraging.
