General Crook in Tucson.

AS stated last Saturday in THE CITIZEN, Brigadier-General Crook reached Tucson on the 21st instant, on his round of in- spection. It was his purpose to have moved on towards Prescott on Monday, but meeting his wife here and in obedience to the wish of our citizens generally, he remained Ca guest of Governor SaffOrd) until Tuesday morning, when he started for Prescott via MaricOpa Wells, in the splendid private conveyance of MT. E. N. Fish who was going to PheniX and may carry the General on to Wicken burg, from where he will take the mail blackboard to Prescott. He gives the details of business in his department so much personal at tentiOn that he was obliged to return to headquarters with the least possible delay.
 While here, citizens generally called up tiOns on the work he has accomplished in Arizona in the interests of genuine peace, and also upon his recent elevation to full brigadierShip. Saturday was so rainy and diSagreeable that he could not get out much. On Sunday, he rode out to Camp Lowell. Monday he received calls and at tended to business which met him here by mail and otherwise. Monday evening, he attended the very elegant party at Con- greSs Hall, gotten up as a compliment to himself It must not be supposed that be- cause he is such thorough business man and soldier, that he don't enjoy society; but when it comes to dancing, he wins rather more applause in a war-dance or the performances which precede 1t.

A Death I'm Church.

From the Savannah, Ga, News, Dec. III
On Christmas morning one OF the
saddest and most appalling incidents
occurred at Christ Church that has
been known in this city. The morning
services had been concluded, and the
candidates for confirmation, ten in num-
Der, were invited to the altar. One OF
these was Miss Lizzie Spencer-a mos'
estimable young lady, about l6 years OF
age, daughter OF Captain W. II Spencer
who was occupying a seat in the mid
die OF the gallery, to the right on enter
ing the church. She came down stairs
and moved up the aisles with the
others, and was confirmed accord
ing to the rites OF the church by Right
Rev. Bishop Beckwith. After the
confirmation ceremonies, Miss Spencer
returned TO her seat in the gallery, and
had scarcely taken it when her head
sank forward on the railing. Those in
the vicinity attached no significance to
this, imagining that it was merely an
act OF devotion, when suddenly the
young lady sank from ber seat, and
would have fallen upon the floor, but
for the promptness OF DR.. W. II. e.
lott, next whose pew abe was sitting,
who caught her in his arms. Three or
four gentlemen immediately y approached
and assisted in carrying her from the
church. Considerable interest was oc-
cassioned in the congregation, whose
attention was attracted to the commo-
ton in the gallery, but the general in
ference was that the young lady,
overcome by her feelings, had tainted.
Alas such was not the case, the gen"
tlemen who were tenderly carrying the
almost lifeless form, noticed on gong
down the stairs that the gasps which
now and then shock the frame grew
fainter and fainter; on reaching the
vestibule
There lite gave way, and the last rosy
breath
Went in that deep drawn sigh.
A conveyance was at once procured.
and the lifele-s form Of the young lady
was taken TO her fathers residence on
Liberty street The announcement OF
this sad and melancholy ending oi life
lust dedicated to the service OF the Lord
cent a thrill OF solemn grief throug b the
congregation.

sIAMEsE GAMBLING.
Life and Liberty at Stake-Tngenfous
But Dishonest Betting Ones
Friend.


Friend.
Gambling is carried 90 to fearful
extent in the Kingdom Of Siam, and the
royal exchequer derives considerable
profit from the licensed gambling
houses established in every part OF the
country. One of the fsvorite games
consists in guessing the number Of coins
showed at haphazsrd under an inverted
cup; the teetotum is also in vogue; end
lastly, there are lotteries, which are
drawn daily. All this kind OF business
is in the hands OF cunning Chinese,
particularly expert in correcting the
caprices OF chance. When the gamb-
Ter has lost his all, suicide never occurs
to him, as in Europe; but he will steal,
or, as a last resource, sell himself as 8
slave TO some mandarin willing to pay
his debts and clothe and feed him In
return for some Insignificant service.
But, on the other hand, man who has
once sold himself can never hope to re-
gain his liberty. for he cannot earn a
iarthing in any way. II he dislkes his
master he may try 70 find another dis
posed to pay the old one the amount OF
his debt; but this happens very seldom,
since the purchaser is generally in good
circumstances. Moreover, before o
man gives himself away in this manner
he tries his luck to the last, so long as
he possesses rag on his back. Our
author relates the following characteris-
tic anecdote An Annamlte, OF Saigon,
whom we will call A, happening to
met an old friend Of his, B, at Prom
Penn, is persuaded by him to visit
gambling house. They 90 in and try
their luck. A soon wins a respectable
sum, while B loses all he has about
him. To retrieve his fortune he bor-
rows AS purse, but soon loses ite con-
tents. "Well," says A. "'tis all over
now; let US be of" Wait bit" re-
plies the other; "lll try another stake
the croupier knows me, and will give
me credit" SO be enters upon pala-
yer with that functionary, who at once
writes q few words upon q bit Of
paper, which B signs. BE then
plays, but loses, and quits the place with
his friend. What was your agree
ment with the croupier" asks A.
You'll know tomorrow" replies B.
dryly. And, indeed, on the following
morning two stou, Chinese call at As
house, bind him hand and foot, and
carry him off in spite Of his cries and
efforts to regain liberty. His good
friend B had sold MIN to the croupier
and it was only few months later he
could regain his liberty through the in-
fuence OF French resident at Saiguon.

PITTSBURGH, January 2.-Yesterday
afternoon the express train west on the
Wes, Penn railroad was wrecked by a
freight train at Townsend station, about
thirty-three miles from Pittsburgh, by
which one passenger, a little girl, was
killed and another injured. 1t appears
that the train had been delayed over
an hour by the breaking OF an axle OF
the tender OF the engine attached to
freight train, some six miles east Of
Townsend station. The express passed
the freight train and sped on
its way towards Allegheny, where
it was due about half-past
ten o'clock. When Townsend was
reach ed stop was made for water, but
before q supply was obtained western
bound freight train, consisting OF thirty
cars and drawn by two engines, came
thunderrng along in the rear OF the ex-
press. The engineer eomprehendlng
the situation Immediately put on full
head of steam with the hope Of getting
out of the way. The train had just
commenced to move, however. when the
heavy freight engine crashed into the
rear passenger coach. The platforms
OF ali the passenger coaches were doub'
led up and broken in an instant, but
the speed which the train had by this
time acquired saved the coaches
from being completely wrecked
and thus sverted fearful loss Of life.
Just before the shock came, the en-
gineer Of the frei ght train gave warn>
ing signal A panic was created among
the occupants of the passenger coach,
which, with the baggage car. comprised
the express train. Col Hicks, the con-
duc,or, was standing on the front plat
form of the middle car when he heard
the signal. By main force he succeed
ed in inducing the passengers to remain
in their seats.
The little girl that was killed, Mar
garet Townsend by name, managed 10
push by the conductor and just reached
the platform when the crash came:
She was caught in the wreck and
crushed to death in an instant. Mr..
Hearn, of McKeesport, jumped from
the train just before the crash aud had
his leg badly scratched. All the other
passengers escaped without injury.
Some seats were broken by the con-
cussion.

head. The Minneola's starboard iantail
was smashed and her cylinder tlmbers
broken. The James D. Parker was
crowded clear on the top OF the wreck
of the barge Nightingale by a large
barge which struck her wheel breaking
it badly, and it is feared her shaft Is
also broken. The barge was crowded

it hung for about two hours and was
then carried off by huge mass OF ice
and disappeared down the river.
The wreck OF the Kate Putnam

into the armies Of Europe, nearly every
European nation having adopted it
Russia has given this gun q fuller ap-
proval than any other country. having
introduced it as q distinct arm Of the
military service. Five batteries OF these
mitraileuses have already been formed,
and more are in progress Of formation,
each battery being composed Of eight
guns. The London Broad Arrs,0 urges
that a similar distinct organization for
the Gstling gun be formed in England,
and expresses the hope that in the next
annual exercises it may find q place as
