aster is thst the deaths of the victims were
caused by the breaking of the bridge. and
that "the breaking of the bridge was caused
by the -unsoundness of the t;mbers" in the

the theory that the disaster was caused by
damage to the bridge from broken or de,

We learn that George Foglcman
Morris, son OF Chas. Morris, of Pa
eifc Place, CritteHdon Co., shot and
killed one Thomas Leon few days
since, the particulars of which, rs
far as W. are able TO learn, are
about as follows Thomas Leon
was Il cropper on Pacific Place,
came from Mississippi, was fond Of
toting pistols and butcher knives,
and drinking bad whisky. Sam.
r. HardwIck is u young man, llv-
ing on tho same place, who has
been IN bad health for some time,
and in consequence, failed 10 make
anything last year. Permission
was given him to pick the scraps
left IN the fields, by Mr., Chas. Nor
rs while engaged at this work,
Leon, crazy with whiskey, came
upon him and attacked him with u
knife. Hardwlck defended himself
as best he could, dodging and par
rying the blows OF his antagonist
until almost ready TO give up the
struggle from sheer exhaustion.
Young Fogleman Morris came upon
the scene, and calling 10 Leon, ,old
him to desist; this seemed to infu-
riate him, and turning, made rush
with weapon drawn, upon young
Morris, who, stepping back few
PAGES, told him not to approach
any nearer. Nothing dauntcd,
however, with an oath, he bounded
forward, swearing he would have
his hearts blood-young Morris
quickly cooked one barrel Of his
shot gun, and let drive load OF
small shot into his body. 1t failed
to cheek hun, and when almost In
striking distance, he fired the othor
barrel, and Leon vas no longer
crazy, but vending bis way to the
spirit land. The jury who held
the inquest returned II verdict in
accordance with the above, and ex-
honeratcd George +. Morris from
all blame in the matter.

THE exhibition last Monday
night afforded great deal Of
amusement and entertainment. The
scenes and illustrations presented
were both instructive and interest

tanned by the vulgarisms OF some

Washington, June 4. The fact that
the receipts of the Government from
every source are falling of, and that the
deficit this fiscal year will be nearly
twenty millions, has awakened new
interest in the labor of the House Approp-
ration Committee, and it now appears
that what was begun in the spirit ofre-
trenchment and economy will have to be
carried out as necessity, tits the opinion
of careful thinkers that there will be no re-
sumption of business until after,the Presi-
dental election, and in all probability
not until the next Administration is in
augurated. tits estimated that the receipts
during the next fiscal year will be be-
tween thirty and forty millions less than
the estimates for the present fiscal year,
or in round numbers the decrease will be
about the same as the reductions propos-
ed by the House. For this reason there
is good groundto believe that the Senate
Conference Committee will no longer
oppose the reductions, and the Diplo.
matte and Consular bill, it is confidently
asserted, will pass substantially as it left
the House.-N y Sna, June 5th.

Washington, May 30.-Among docu-
ments that have come into possession of
the real estate Pool Committee, is let
ter from Henry d. Cooke to the attorney
for his Philadelphia creditors, dated Feb.
25, 1875, which shows that when he be-
came resident partner of Jay Cooke &
Co., at Washington in 1861, he was in
debted to the extent of 100000; that he
put no capital into the firm; that for some
years he did nothing toward paying these
debts, and not ii he was sharply threat
ened with their transfer to Washington,
and with suits here which would harm
his firms standing, did he pay this debt
by drawing money from the firm; that
the Indebtedness thus incurred to the
firm he increased till in 1873 it reached
$4,000; that the fine residence in near
Georgetown where he entertained sump-
tuously, was bought with part of this
money; that MCCulloCh and RuIeston got
allowances from the firm to entertain lib
orally in London; that he bought stocks
with money borrowed from the firm and
then transferred such stock to the firm
as collateral, and that the Georgetown
residence so purchased was conveyed for
his wife in trust to VIM. G. Moorhead of
Philadelphia, who has become famous
in connection with the ruin of the Dutch
bondholders of the st. Paul and Pacific
Railroad, and with the pledging of their
iron rails to Robson by Mccullough as
pretended security for loan of $1,000
900 of public funds, and that the house
was afterward transferred as collateral
for part of this debt.
1t thus appears that he never owned
magnificent residence; that while acting
as agent for the Government and repre-
sentative of a great financial house, he
was over head and ears in debt. In the
last year before the suspension he in
creased his debt $5S,000, with which, as
he says, he bought real Chic1gO
