A SAD ACCIDENT.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST:
A sad accident occurred here last
Wednesday. One of our teams ran
away and Frank McGibeny was badly
hurt. His leg was terribly mangled,
his right arm twice broken. Gangrene
setting in, it became necessary to am
putate the arm above the elbow-nearly
at the shoulder. 1t was taken off last
night and he is doing well. We trust
his life is saved by this sad alternative.
Frank was injured in his brave efforts
to rescue his little brothers. He is the
noblest of boys, and bears most intense
pain with heroic fortitude. We haG
just entered upon what would undoubt.
edly have been most auspicious anC
prosperous season. Frank was indulg'
ing in the brightest anticipations. Col
grant the dear boy comfort for his dis
appointed ambition, and trust the way
may be very plain for him to shine
more brilliantly in some higher and no
bier field of usefulness. Through you
journal many of his friends may learr
of and sympathize with him in hi
misfortune. NJ. H. SAVAGE,

Merriele reasoned that the utmost the
Tribunal could do, under its own rules,
would be TO throw out the vote Of Gro.

vote OF Watts. He said that the 'T'ribu.
nal must respect It's own rules: 1t had
already ruled itself out Of all power TO
count electoral votes not covered by
the great seal of the State. and had re.
tanned only the power TO amend votes

the vote OF Cronin would be IN the line
OF previous decisions OF tho Tribunal,

not been commissioned at oil, would

DETAILS or THE ATTEMPTED sg1crDE.
Rothschild, whose business is that OF
a wholesale dealer In mems furnishing
goods, and who spends good part or
his time In travelling for the purpose Of
soliciting orders, was found ON the steps
OF q club house adjoining the Enquirer
office with q pistol shot in his head.
When the discharge OF the firearms was
first heard seme. persons hurried to the
spot, but found no one except the
wouded man lying their and the street
nearly deserted. At that hour, two In
the morning, the street echoed no fly
ing footsteps Of an assassin. More than
this, a revolver, with one empty cham
Der, by his side, suggested the fact that
he had attempted to take his own life.
He was taken to the Burnet House,
where he boards when tn the city, and
afterward to his fathers home on West
Fifth street, where he now remains in a
critical condition, with policeman
watching him to prevent his removal.
STORY OF CRIME.
Some time last summer Rothschild
came from New Orleans, bringing with
him handsome black-eyed young
woman, glttering with diamonds,
whom he called Narcissa Moore, and
who, he said. was his mistress. After
remaining several months they started
back to the South together, and nothing
more was thought or heard Of her until
his return few days since, when he
said he had left her at New Orleans.
About the Goth OF January story
was telegraphed from Jefferson, Texas,
giving account OF the finding of the
body of the young woman near the
tewn, who had been killed and her body
hidden away in brushWood. Further
particulars Of that story. copied fro M a.

three days ago, coupled Witha hint that

large one and comprised the represen.
tatives Of nearly every regiment frem

late struggle between the banks Of the
Potomac and the ohiekahominy.
Several distinguished visitors were Elk.
peeted. among them Gov. Nichols and
Gen. Jubal Early, but, we regret to say,
did not come.
After the usual greetings among the
boys. many OF whom are scattered over
the State. and who had not met for
several years In some cases, the com
pany sat down TO u choice banquet In
the supper room Of the hall, which had
been elegantly decorated for the ooca-
sion. A splendid band Of music was In
attendance and disooursed sweet music,
whilst the company discussed the ex-
oellent feast and slipped tho choice
wines laid before them.
A gayer and jollier set than the two
hundred veterans OF an hundred battles
who had eongregated simply to revive
old and dear memories, 1t never has
been Our pleasure to contemplate.
The inner man having bee suffi-
GENTLY oomforted, First Vice 2 resident
j. b. Richards called the assemblage to
order, and proposed the first toast
"rhe Association OF the Army Of North :.
err Virginia which was greeted with
a thunder OF applause. In succession.
"aeo. Washington and the day we
celebrate" Robert u. Lee," s'Stone-
wall Jackson" ,"And the Boys we left
behind us," were drunk standing and
la silence.
Next oame the "Army and Navy of
the United States" and Gen. Augur,"
each being prefaced by some happy re-
marks. "The Press" came next In
turn and was responded to by Mr.. John
Weichafdt, OF the German Gasette, who
offered "The Army OF Northern Vir-
ginia."
Tho health of Major Ed. Willett, ex-
president Of the association, now a resi-
dent Of New York, was proposed and
received with the Widest shouts Of en-
thusiasm. Col. Richards, at this juno
ture, read a letter from Major Willett
to one Of the members of the associa-
tion, In which he thanked the associa-
tion for the title Of honorary president
conferred upon him. and urging the
boys not to forget the great object they
had In view--of erecting a mausoleum
and q monument In memory OF their
fallen comrades In the army.
The following dispatch was also re-
ceived from Major Willett during the
progress Of the banquet:
"NEw YORK, Feb. 20, 1877.

and pointed speeches. Among them
Col. VIM. Miller Owen and Col. J. b.
Walton, Of the Washington Artillery,
and Capt. Landry, Of the Donaldson
vile Artillery, all of which were high
ly appreciated and enthusiastically
cheered.
The pleasant reunion now broke up,
and the members Of the association,
preceded by their band, paid their usual
visits to their friends, treating them to
delightful serenades,
