pardOned.


William NJ. Graham, of Orange coun-
ty, New York, has been released from
the Albany penitentiary, in accordance
with a pardon from President Hayes.
MIR. Graham was sentenced in January,
1874, to ten years imprisonment for en-
bezzling over 100000 of the funds of
the Waikiki National Bank, Of which he
was President. This money he squan-
dered in New York gambling houses.
He is now old, and grief and shame have
SO worked upon him as to make him al
most an imbecile. It is believed that he
cannot long survive, and his chief wish
In seeking a pardon was that he might
die q free man and with the ministrations
OF his family. MI. Graham served in the
New York Senate four years.

THE ROCKFORD CALAMITY.

The city of Rockford, ILL.,, has been the
scene of a heartrending calamity, resulting i'll
the killing of a dozen people, and the manning
of as many more The dome of the Winnie
bago county Court House, which had for some
months been in course of erection and was
nearing completion, fell with a terrible crash,
burying a large number of worlmen beneath
the ruins. A correspondent gives the follow
ing account of the terrible affair Just as
the keystone was being placed in
the dome of the main pavilion, the
brick-work between the iron and the
stone gave way, and the entire dome
and the interior walls of the structure came
crlmblng down with terrible crash that was
heard by persons living nearly mile distant
from the scene of the accident. At the time Of
the accident there were from twenty to twenty
five men at work. The whole massive stone top
of the dome fell with terrific crash. A man
named Timothy Flanagan, who was just put
ting in the keystone of the final cornice, jumped
for the guy-rope of the big derrick in front,
but, missing his aim, fell the distance of 100
feet to the earth, and was dashed to
pieces. The mass of human beings, with
the exception of four or five who jumped
from the windows, fell inside the tottering
walls, and were buried in the debris. At
this time the whole structure looked as though
it would fall, and those assembled were ap-
palled, and knew not what to do. To go near
enough to the structure torescue those mangled
and bleeding in the ruins was hazardous in the
extreme, but brave men, regardless Of danger,
went fearlessy to work before the dust cleared
away, and commenced to assist to extricate the
dead and dying. Men lay terribly mutilated
beneath these rocks, shrieking for assistance
that was only rendered at the risk of the rescu-
ers' lives One unfortunate man named VIM.
Gloss was extricated but one of his legs was
left beneath a ponderous stone. He
was lifted out upon the green sward
in front of the old Court House, and expired in
great agony. A negro jumped from a window
sixty feet from the ground, and, though seri-
ously injured, will probably recover. The
sights in and about the ruins were terrible
| The anguish of the living was also heartrend-
| ing. It was near the noon hour, and the work
mems wives and mothers were soon upon the
| spot. Eleven of the unfortunate Workmen are
known to have been killed, and ten or a dozen
more mangled in varying shades Of ghastlness
The damage to the building is estimated at
| $4,000 to $4,000. ..u## 5

J Revival Of Business

The Public, of New York, compares
the clearinghouse returns of fifteen
cities for the month of April with those
for the same month last year, and finds
an increase of $277, 991, 718 in the total,
the total last month having been g.
459, 727, $50, against So, 181, 1876, 902 for
April, 1876. Only four out of the ff-
teen cities report losses, namely, Phila-
delphia, San Francisco, Cincinnati and
Worcester. The heaviest falling off,
$40, s17,270, was experienced in San
Francisco. Leaving San Francisco out,
we find a net gain Of $298, S08, 1888 il
Kansas City, St. Louis and cities east OF
the Mississippi river. The decline in
Philadelphia may be accounted for from
the fact that the Centennial show svelled
the volume of business greatly last year.
The loss there is about S27, 500, 900.
The totals, even including unfortunate
San Francisco, indicate a marked in
crease In business.

A Restaurant Waiter Turns out to be
N0hleman

For the past two years there has dwelt
in Eureka, New, a young man who, al
though following the occupation of res
taurant waiter, attracted much attention
on account OF his superior learning and
intelligence. He spoke five different
languages with fuency, was well posted
III all matters of scientific character,
possessed an Intimate acquaintance with
current literature, and was at no loss in
reference to the entanglements and mys-
tenes OF the European war question.
Whenever he could get hold of a sympa-
thetic listener he would dwell learnedIv
on the Russian policy, and explain in de-
tail the probable moves on the political
chess board. The iaw-b breaking words
that almost give the lockiaw to English
speaking people rolled gGbly from his
tongue. As for foreign dispatches he
fairly reveled in them. When cues
toned as to his past history, he would
answer, "Story, sir, have none to tell. :"
Concealment, however, came to an end,
and the Eureka Sentinel furnishes it's
readers with the following account of the
learned waiter: He was born near Mos
COW, in Russia, of noble parentage. and
his title is Count Alexander HUM. He
was educated at the University of Khar-
kov, and, after completing his studies,
entered the army, where, by family
standing and influence, he rapidly rose
to the rank of Colonel. His prospects
were very bright until one unfortunate
day when he became embroiled in quar-
rel with brother officer. A duel was
the result, and the Count killed his an
tagonist. AS the code was prohibited,
and attractions of the law in that respect
are rigidly punished, Col. HUM fed the
country and for the past three years has
been wanderer in foreign lands. His
family, exasperated at his conduct, dis
owned him, and he finally brought up in
Eureka and engaged in the humble oc-
cUpation of waiter. When the Euro
pean complication arose he opened cor
respondence with the Russian Govern
ment and his family. The latter recalled
their dlspleasure and secured his pardon
by the Government. He has not only
been pardoned, but restored to his rank
of Colonel in the Chasseurs of the Gren-
adiers. A few days ago he received off
clal notice of the fact and also letter
from the Russian Consul at San Francis
co, who had received orders to provide
the Count with funds and transportation
home. He will join his corps in the field,
and the next that we hear of him may be
through dispatches received from the
seat of war in the East.

Modes of Suicide.

In Paris, hanging is the most popular
mode OF suicide, and drowning comes
next; in London, one is as fashionable as
the other, and throat-cutting, which is
seldom practiced in Paris, ranks third;
in New York, poisoning is the favorite
form of self-murder, and shooting is the
second choice, with hanging, throat-cut-
ting and drowning further down in the
list. A sensational form OF suicide, very
common in France and very rare IN En-
gland and America, is jumping from
public buildings Charcoal burning is
also a favorite mode of death in Paris.
During 1876 there were 298 cases in Lon
don, 915 in Paris, and $50 in New York
The death-rate from suicide, in proper
ton to population, is double in New
York what it is in London.
