The sI.tOO Bond Case.


The examination in the case of Colonel Wood, q,
ex- Chief Of the Tn ted States Secret Service.
charged with passing a loco United States
registered bond which had been tampered with,
and which was part OF the proceeds OF a p hi a.
delphia bank robbery, came up today before
United Sta:es CCmms sSioner Osborn. Mr..
Courtney appeared for Colonel Wood, and AS
sistsDt District Attorney Post for the govern
ment. +. j. MOl!oy, real estate agent, testified
To procuring loan of 500 for Naultuer on the
bond. The same testimony was then given
which was taken in the examination of the case
against Naultner, previously charged with
negotiating the bond and discharged. Detec-
tive Sampson testified that when he arrested
NaultneE, the latter told him he had got the
bond from Colonel Wood, and asked witness 70
go 10 the Park Hotel to see Colonel Wood about
II; went there with Naultner and met Wood who
admitted having given Naultner the bond, but
added, al never intended he should use il at
al; gave it to him for another purpose wit
Eess then heard Wood say to Nsutner, ''Yod
are ID fool to go ard use Ii that waY:''
Wood admitted 70 witness that he owed Nault
ntr some money, but lie did not give him the
tond as collateral security for IL. Mr.. Miller,
ot the firm of King x Co, brokers, who gave
Nauitner the loan of 500, said Naultner ssemei
conscious that the bond, which was given A.
collateral security, should be kept safely for
him, as ii was wanted for some other purpose
Mr.. Post here offered to put in as testimony the
evidence of Col. Wood, given by him on Thurs
day last, and published BY himself in a morning
paper, but as the steuographer was not present
to prove its correctness, the examination was
ADJOURNED until TO- morrow.-N. y. COm., 22l.

The Situation I'm Louisiana.

1he Baltimore American thus sums up the
condition OF affairs in Louisiana: The latest
sdviCt from New Orleans are not encouraging.
Nothing bat the OyeTsasGOsing authority OF
the United States prevents the hOt-headed
yOung men of the league from renewing the
bloody work. The failure of the conference
committee TO agree upon a plan of compromise
has discOura aged the more moderate and respect
able of the IeaguerS, and has intensified the
hatred OF those who are most anxious for some
pTeteNt on which 10 begin general massacre.
ASS slant Secretary COwen Is how in New Or
leans, and the lesguers are now venting their
rage on him. The break mp in the conference
committee is attributed to his interference
although he very probably took no part what
ever in the deliberations and gave no advice.
IL IL said that Governor Kellogg will institute
proceedings against the leaders of the late rev0-
linton, with view 10 having them tried for
treason, but there appears to be no ground
whatever Tor this assertion, except the Cover
noT's anxiety to have Attorney General FIelG
(UbO is now in the nOTth) return to his post o
duty and danger. Governor Kellogg evidently
does Lot want to die alone. Threats of assassi-
mating him are openly made, and his position is
certainly exceedingly uT comfortable. The dis
turbances at Bayou Sara continue, and unless
troops are speedily sent to that lOC nifty bloody
massacre of the negroes is expected"

OVER PRRCIPICR.
From the Continental Herald
Captain and Mrs. LOckhart, OF ScOtla and have
been staying for some time at the Krone Hotel

two lsdies. whose acquaintance she had IN ade
At the hotel, lett the Krone TO ascend one of the
heights adj aceut, the beautiful Rosegg glacier
The object OF the ascent was 10 secure the
Eidelveiss, the famous flower. which Crews
only at height OF 5000 or 10 900 feet above the
'evel OF the sea. Mrs. Lockhart slipped and
re over perpendicular rock distance Of L.
ct, then rolled over steep, CLASSY slope, then
over another rock, and 80 on TO a pTecipice, the
mouth OF which wss stopped by a bush. Alto
gether the fall was about 20 or 60 feet. Her
friends were separ 4ted from her, aud she was
inVilble, but her mOans were audible. One OF
the ladies descen nded from her perilOus position
aud ran bresthless down the narrow road where
she hailed carriage in which were lady anu
two gentlemen.
The young lady declared that there was a
lady killed on the rocks, and Implored tho gen
tlemen of the party 10 hasten TO discover the
bNdv. The Rev. Mr.. LetrOy set out, outran the
carriage, and climbing up the face or the noun
tain came 10 the lady. By this time three Ital-
ian peasants came up, but they did not know
what to do. Sir George Robinson followed, and
some brandy having been administered TO Mrs
Lockhart life seemed TO return. She was fear
fully cut in the head and face, and the wounds
we're ciOtted with grass and hair. All that she
could say was that her back was sore. Able
guides speedily appeared, but the lady seemed
sinking fast. At length, after careful wrapping
up and the administration Of more brandy, the
helpless and unconscious lady was carried down
to the roadside, where Capt. Lockhart appeared
with resident medical man. A stretcher of
canvass was provided, and Mrs. Dockhsrt wa
borne 70 her room from the mountain by Mr.. c.
Barnet and the Rev. Mr.. Lefroy. Mrs Lockbsrt

"SPRAKIN' OUT IN MEETTN."-AR episode,
somewhat unusual, ls reported % have oc-
CURED at The YrOtracted meeting now in pro-
gress ~ the NJ. l.. Church, South, in this city,
last night:
The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Waugh, who has been
most zeslously engaged in the duties OF hts
ministry, WAS feryently pressing home the
great truths OF the gospel, when an alarm OF
ire was sounded without. Many OF our most
pubic spirited citizens are members OF the con-
grePaton, and the alarm drew Numbers from
al endeavOr 10 avoid eternal flames o an effort
TO extinguish a temporal fire. The hasty exits
naturally attracted much attention, aui the
pastor seized the occasion % point a moral by
reference TO the zeal with which men will leave
the promises OF eternity at the calls Of time,
and how much more interest was felt ia saving
brick and mortar than in saving i'm m Ortal souls.
At this pOinf-the alarm being q false one
many had returned, among them Mr. R1bt. l..
Wood, member Of the church, VINO rose AMI
said in substance:
"Broiher Waugh, you must not speak 50, 4
went out not TO save brick and mortar, Sut IL
might be, to rescue some poor family from de-
struction."
Rev. Mr.. Waugh said he did not intend 20
give his remarks a personal application, bat had
endeavored 20 0raw from q feetIng occurrence
q suitable lesson, as was his duty pastor, and
he again proceeded to note hog soon the sane
tuary was deserted when the calls OF earth we're
heard, whereupon MIR. Wood rose again, say
ing:
"You must not talk 50, sir. to this congrega-
ton"
Rev. Mr.. waush-Sit down Brother woodl
Mr.. Wood-No, sir, have q right 20 speak.
Rev. Mr.. Wsugb-"Sit down." but Mr..
Wood, not needing the command IL WAS re-
standing position, and the excitement becom-

the services had 20 be abruptly closed without
the usual ceremonies.-<IeS. Gasette, 22d.

Insurance RISKS Wi,hdra,OdI Of Comprniss
from Business in NeIO YOrk.-Iusurance circles
have been somewhat agitated the past few days
by reports affecting the sOlvency of several
companies more especially the National and
Penn Fire Companies of Philadelphia. A few
days ago the Superintendents of Insurance OF
pennsylvania, New York, and Connecticut met
in Philadelphia TO discuss the interests involved
In their departments, and TO examine into the
conditions Of certain companies. The result OF
that conference has been the withdrawal of the
National Fire Insurance Company of Phiadel-
phla from business in New York. and the re-
ported withdrawal OF the Penn Company of the
same place.
Messrs. Mulligan & Co, OF No. 14l Broadway,
agents Tor the Narrag8nsett Fire Insurance
Company OF Providence, r. l., which withdrew
from business here few days ago and reinsured
its outstanding risks in the Commercial Com
peny OF London, says that the withdrawal of
the company was matter OF business policy
and nothing else. The company had been un-
successful and the stockholders did not care to
risk any more.

TILToss PLYMOUTH CHURCH RECORD.
A member OF the Plymouth Church InvestI-
eating Committee said to a reporter OF the New
York Tribune Monday that the paper referred
to by Mr.. Tilton as q record Of Plymouth
Church was not such in any proper sense. Il is
said he, simply a statement by one William
West, TO which Mr.. Tilton's attention wa
called by the clerk of Plymouth Church. It is
evidence, he said, of nothing except that Mr.
West became poss essed of certain gossip, he
being, IL is believed, in cOlluson vita Francis
b. Carpenter, weo, according te Mr.. Tilton. ac-
cOmpanied Mr.. West TO Mo. Tilton's house on
this business. Plymouth Church had nOthins
to co with the making or procuring of the 50
called "indictmC nt."

with Tilton with when he went to the Ciucin

vOyant vision that the nomination of Mr.. Gree
ley by that convention would Kill him.
