A Narrow Escape.

Last evening, shortly before o'clock
a little two year old daughter of John
Crawford, who resides at No. 16 East
Front street, met with very narrow
escape. She was in the act of crossing
the street, and the time there was car
coming one way, and a wagon belonging
to S. Murphey 81 Son, the other. The
child did not see the wagon, and before
she could get out of the way one of the
fore wheels struck her, throwing her in
the rear of the horses hind feet. The
child remained perfectly quiet and the
wagon passed over her. The driver stop.
ped as quick as posi- BILE and the child was
carried into her fathers house. Upon
examination it was found that she was
more scared than hurt. The parents at.
tach no blame TO the driver of the WACO 4
as he did not see the child. This morning
the little one is running around as lively

Late last evening the residents in the
neighborhood of Delaware Avenue and

peaceful slumbers, by a commouon on
the streets caused by number of drum
ken rowdies who seemed disposed TO en-
gage in free fight. Instead of doing
this they engaged in the low pastime of
uttering low oaths, until the residents
became hornfied, and were afraid that
there would be a general fight in which
some of the parties would suffer severely
One of the residents near hy went ont
TO quell the distur bance, and not liking
the Interference the crowd turned upon
him, but he proved himself equal to the
emergency, aud laid low several of his
assallants. The gentleman deserves
great credit for his bravery, az he was

WAsHINGToN, May 8.-Much curios-

In every issue of the paper the Demo-

they dare not investigate the frauds in
Florioa and Louisiana, because. if the
Investigation is once started, the bottom
facts about the Louisiana bargain will be
brought out. Ordinarily these para
graphs in the Republican would not at
tract any attention, but the delay of the
Democrats to order an Investigation
lends special significance to these aim.

The HERALD's st. Petersburg cor
respondent telegrsphs that Count Schu-
valoff will not arrive in st. Petersburg
before Sunday, having spent Thursday
at Friederlchsruhe in order to hold an
interview with Prince Bismarck. 1t has
been confidently hoped that he brings the
means of securing peace, yet the Emper-
or, who knows in advance his mission,
said on Wednesday that lie did not see
that any end of the complications was
probable.
General lgnatleif is excluded from the
councils of the Emperor at the formal re
quest of Count GortschaSoff, who, hav-
ing experienced a favorable turn in his
health, reasser's his authority. The
venerable Chancellor is exceedingly
Jealous of his young rival, and there has
been very bitter feeling existing between
the two men since Ignatief overToie the
Chancellor's orders regarding the San
Stefano Treaty.
TOO MUCH HOPE.
The conviction begins to fad express
sion that too sanguine view is taken OF
Count Schouvaloff's Journey to st. Peters
burg. 1t is argued that he cannot have
a mission from the British government
unless the latter has consented to aban-
don the idea OF European concert and
will treat directly with Russia about
special British interests, which is entire
ly unlikely. If the government had de-
cided to formulate counter proposals they
would probably have submitted them
through the regular channel.
