NEW YORK.
A Female in Distress.

New York, April 5.-In behalf O
Miss Halpine, daughter of tho late
Charles q. Halpine. known more
generally as Miles O'Reilly, all Of
William c. Barrett's property that
can be found has been attached. The
fugitive lawyer was the custodian O,
Miss Halpine's estate, and by his
dishonesty the property thus intrust-
ed,in amount about $40 900, Is a loss.
After his recent departure for Europe
it was found that the property had
been appropriated entirely by him.
His method in general had been to
induce Miss Halpine to sign assign
ments ignorantly and then to sell the
property.

POWERFUL POWDER.
The sainted City Supremacy Surprise

Inv cAintoo S1ty ouprenoiy surprised,
Salt Lake. April 5.-This afternoon
about S O'Clock this city WAS thrown
into CONSERVATION by three terrible
explosions, succeeding each other at
intervals of few seconds. People
rushed into the streets in terror,
horses ran away, ami CONSERVATION
reigned supreme. Windows were
blown in, doors blown from their
hinges, chimneys blown down, and
many buildings badly injured. The
cause Of this terrible explosion was
not known until an immense volume
of smoke was seen rising from Ar
senal Hill, Immediately north Of the
city. Upon this hill were four pow
der magazines containing GA tons of
powder, all of which exploded. A
Touring mill and the water-works
buildings on City Creek were riddled
with boulders. Immense boulders
fell crashing through buildings
throughout the city, some falling a
mile distant. There were three men
at work at one of these magazines
and all that can be found ofthem are
small pieces of flesh the largest piece
being portion of II foot In boot.
Mrs. ,Vannatta, living in the 18th
ward, was struck by a boulder and
killed. Jos. Radden, a boy living in
the goth ward, was also struck by a
boulder and killed. Quite a number
of other persons were injured and
perhaps other deaths may occur. One
lady died from fright. The cause OF
the explosion cannot be ascertained.
An immense amount of glass was
broken throughout the city. TIE
damage to glass alone will probably
he near S50,000.

Tho Thunderer on tn. win.low Case.

Tho Thunderer on the Winslow Case.
London. April 5.-The Times Of
this morning, referring to the case OF
Winslow, says: "After two months
from the date of his committal Wins
low will be entitled to his discharge,
unless the judges hold that the events
which have occurred constitute suff1c-
lent cause to the contrary within the
meaning of the 18th section of the
extradition act. Whether Winslow
is to be given up or not, must depend
upon whether the United States gov
ernment will or can arrange to re-
strict the charge upon which lie Is
tried so as to satisfy the extralitiou
act. Europeans have no wish to give
shelter to American criminals, but of
course our law must be obeyed by our
own executives, and strong grounds
would have to be shown before we
should alter our law on the point
where it has been solemnly recogni-
zed by many treaties. The truth is,
our extradition treaty with the Uni
ted States is very insufficient. Nego-
tiations have long been going on for
its improvement, and 1t is to be hoped
the present complication will hasten
them. Meanwhile it will be remein-
bered that all we ask IL reciprocity,
for already, by our own act, we could
not try an English forger surrender
ed by the United States except for an
extradition crime which might be
proved by facts established in Amer
lea. 1t Is a matter of wonder that
this question has not arisen before,
but now that 1t has been raised oul
government would appear to have
no discretion In the matter.

the PRESIDENTIAL KcsIKATlKG CONVENTIONS.
The Largest Hall In the Country or
fered 7 hem.

meeting of the general committee to act
for the citizens In their efforts to secure one
or both of the national conventions TO be
held in this city, met last night at the Ar
lington hotel, John Van Riswick in the
chair, and Horatio Browning secretary. A
communication was read from Messrs.
Miller & Jones, pledging their firm for 800,
ana more IL needed. Judge Casey, from the
committee to prepare the address TO the ma
tioDal committees of both parties, submitted
an address showing the advantages of this
city as the place for holding the conventions
and IL was adopted.
Mr. ]. W. Boteler, from the committee to
ascertain where a suitable building could be
obtained for the purpose, made report that
after consideration the committee concluded
the only suitable building in the city that
could be obtained vas the Northern Liberty
market. This building is $50 feet long by $50
wide, ard if altered In the way proposed, IL
would contain many more people than any
other hall in the United States. 1t was eS-
timated by the Market company that to
build the floor and complete the hall would
cost about $4,000. They would give to the
citizens OF Washington the free use Of the
hall for both conventions upon the payment
Offfty per cent of the cost. or Si2, 800. THIS
hall would seat GOO people.
THE LARGEST HALL IN TEE COUNTRY.
Mr.. James II. NcGill, the architect, eX
planned that IL was designed TO build a hall
that would be permanent institution in the
city. A floor, supported by iron columns,
could he Duilt, leaving an elevation of from
, twenty-five to twenty-eight feet for the mar
{
with a cOncave ceiling springing from either
side, and attaining an elevation OF fifJy-SiX
feet in the center. This could be provided
with four entrances, and built so strongly
that there would be no danger To either those
above or in the market below. This would
be the largest public hall in the country.
Mr.. James y. Hoffman, OF the market COM
pany. said that they would ask only
900 of the citizens, even if that did not
cover one half of the cost Of the niece ssary
alterations, as executive officer of the COM
Tany he guaranteed that in case il was ne
ceSsary the hall would be complete in time
for either Of the conventions.
Mr.. BOteler said the sum would not include
the seats and necessary furniture, and alto
gether the expenses would be about so, 900.
Mr.. Fleming stated that the Su D. committee
had examined other localities with view
of sscertaining the practicability Of erecting
temporary buildings. but had found that the
expense would be much greather than if they
accepted the proposal of the market COM
pany.
Col. Smoot moved that the report be ac-
cepted and the committee continued; which
was adopted.
The committee then adjourned, TO meet
al the Arlington Hotel this morning.

STABBED WITH GIMGET-A rel,a~,5r-
biz school room tragedy occurred In Maine
last week. the consequences OF which vet re-
main 10 De y orkec ont. IL appears that Miss
Lacy Parks, yourg LADY perhaps twenty
9. ght years Of age. ard a daughter Of Mr.
Rodney PARKS, Of NeaZie, has taught the
village school at that place for several
terms. One OF her pupils is named Cody
Smith, who is about twelve years OF age.
GOody behaved badly in schsol, and his
teacher called him before her, when the fol-
towing conversation ensued, Miss Parks, az
the same time, holding her hand on his head:
"GCody, will you get your leSsOns?' "No. |
won T." "Then must punish you ssIf /
could get hold of a slate I'd knock your
damned head of with it." Thereupon the
youth put his hand in his pocket and pnllei
out rusty gimlet, with which he struck his
teacher twice on the hand, then thrust the
point OF the instrument into her left breast
above the heart. The weapon struck a rib
lshed with his wicked work the lad deSiSted.
Miss Parks then went 10 her home, where
she now lies in a critical condition. Thurs
day evening the sufferer was delirious and
talked wildly, and during the long night i'm
agin5d herself pursued by her 8Ssailant'S
mother. On Saturday her condition changed
little, but not for the better. Her hysteric
laughs are said by those who heard them To
have been frightful. 1t is hoped that she may
recover, though her family fear that death
will be the result of her injuries. Cody

victed at the supreme court, in Bangor of

Mr.. CHICKENDANCE's NARROW ESCAPE.
The Indianapolis Journal of Monday morn
ing has this paragraph ga young man,
Chickendance by name, who has been suffer-
ing from virulent attack OF small poX on
South East street, was given up by his physi-
given how TO dispose of the sick mans
clothes in the event of his death. The man
soon afteTward gave up the ghost, and his
apparel was buried according TO directions.
About two hours after his supposed demise
the dead man recovered consciousness and
sat up in his bed, to the establishment and
cismay of the attendants and the physicians,
all of whom had pronounced him dead
beyond hope OF resurrection this side of the
river. Whether Chickendance will recover
remains question of extreme doubt, for his
