ATTEMPTED SUIcIDE.-Last Saturday alter
noon a young lady, aged Is, living with her
aunt in this city, was left alone some two or
three hours at the house. Her aunt returned,
and not finding her. supposed she had gone out:
Another member of the family csmo in and
suggested that she had not gone away, and went
to her room and found the door fastened. As
this Was very unusual, the door was forced open,
and she was lying there IN an unconscious con,
ditiou. A large phial containing a small por
ton Of laudsnum was near her. She had also
with razor cut cash in her arm from tho
wrist 70 the elbow, from which she WAS bleeding
profusely. A physician being called in applied
restorstives. They found she had tax en- an
overdose of laudsnum. which caused her TO
vomit. when. they suppose, she used the razor
bleeding, it relieved the mental depression un-
der which she had been lsboring for few days
previous. The cure is q very severe one. but is
perhaps the means of saving her from more
dreaded situstion-being the inmate of sn insane
asylum. As it is she is considered out of danger
and in fair way Of recovering. On account Of
it being the earnest desire of the family that this
affair should not be made public we withhold
the names OF all parties concerned Washington

Il SING ULIR INCIDENT IN
COURT.

One OF the strangest spectacles
ever Witnessed in a judicial tribunal
was seen in the Supreme Court yes
terday. It was the presence of six
children, charged with murder, who
were brought before the grave and
digniticd Supreme Judges upon a
h0bcas corpus. There were four
boys and two girls, aged between
nine and twelve years, whose names
arc Harmon, Henry, Robert, Mary
and Anna Fallow and William
Ellis. These children are from
Edgefcld, and wero represent
cd by Messrs. j. G. and O.
Sheppard, who succeeded in
obtaining bail for them in tho sum
of $4,000.
The alleged murder took place
under the following circumstances.
In the vicinity of Ridge Spring, in
Edgefeld county, lives a Mr.. Fallow,
father of four and guardian of the
other two children. On the 1st of
December, these six children were
picking cotton in q field adjacent to
his house, when negro boy about
sixteen OF eighteen years old, who
had been warned not to como on
the premises, made his appearance
among them, and begen to maltroat
and abuse them. a general fight
ensued, in which tho white children
succeeded in prostrating the
negro. and one of them struck
him with u rock in the temple.
The mother of tho negro interfered,
! and another person took charge Of
tho white children and shielded
them from the infl1riated attacks of
the negro's mother, until Mr..
Fallow made his appearance upon
the scone.
The negro boy was found to be
seriously injured, and from neglect
Of his mother, it is alleged, he was
permitted to undergo exposure,
from which he died in seven days.
On Saturday last, the six white
children woro arrested and carried
to Jail in Edgefeld, charged with
murder, and were brought before
the Supreme Court rs already
stated. Sheriff CASTOR had charge
of the youthful prisoners, md in
formed us that they had maintained
tho same unconscious demoanor
from the outset as when wo saw
them before the court. No one
would suspect that they wore
charged with crime, so innocent
and listless was their appearance.
1t was strange and curious specta-
Gle, indeed, and perhaps unparal.

SALT LAKE, Sept. Is.
A Committee of the Grand Jury OF

the records and files of the Probate
Court Of Salt Lake county, with the
view to a ventilation of the divorce
business of that Court, and having
been refused access to said records and
files by the Judge Of the Probate,
High Priest Elias Smith, who, in ad.
dltion to his judicial position. is the
Adam of the Endowment House, an
order VAS made on Thursday by the
Judge of the Third District Court re-
quiriDg said Judge to show cause WHY
he should not be adjudged guilty Of
contempt of the Court. No CAUSE hav-
ing been shown, and the efforts OF the
Committee on Friday to gain access to
the books being %unavailing. Judge
Schafisr made the following order this
morning. The Marshal withths Com
mittee of the Grand Jury are now
making an effort TO execute the order.
The claim of the Priestly Judge is that
the records and files in the office of the
Probate Court are private. He will
not allow members of the har or suit
ors to examine them. There Is no
other known reason for the refusal
which has been persisted in for many
years except a desire on the part of
the Probate Court to conceal their ne
farious transactions in divorce matters:
