NEW YORK, March 28.-Wednesday night,
q haggard woman, dressed in rags and COW
cred with filth. tottered into the station house
and begged for nights lodging. She was
shown an apartment reserved for such home
less waits, and sank down on the floor in
seeming exhaustion. Yesterday, when Officer
Laman stopped before the wretched looking
creature, in her wan face, with all the signs
OF dissipation, and under the rags and tatters
that covered her, he recognizeda woman who
ten years ago figured in one OF the most SEN
sational tragedies of the day. She was Fan
ME Wright, then notorious woman, who, on
the nineteenth Of October, 1867, stabbed and
instantly killed Officer McChesney. The
trial attracted considerable interest at the
time and revealed the secrets OF life
time, which were of very peculiar
character. Fannie Wright was tnen twenty
stx years old. She was the daughter of a
respectable Poughkeepsie family, which she
had fed from when quite young to abandon
herself to career of vice. When the news of
her arrest reached her family they made
strong effort In her behalf. The jury found
q verdict of murder in the first degree and
Fanny was condemned to the State prison
Tor life. Her counsel, however, by vigorous
exertions, succeeded in securing new trial.
This time, by the introduction OF new evil
oence and legal technicalities, a verdict of

HawdOn Practicing for the Race with
Hanlan-The Latter's III Fortune.

LONDON, March 28.-Hawdon, OF Delval,
has commenced active practice work for the
coming match with Hanlan. The weather is
very unpropitious for outdoor exercise. Haw-
dons exercise Is taken on land, owing to the
river being SO full Of broken water that scull-
ing ia impossible. The climate has affected
Hanlan to a rather unfortunate degree. He
caught bad cold, which confined him to the
house for four days. Hanlan has also been
greatly troubled with deep-seated carbuncle
on the back OF his neck, but is now recover
ing slowly and will probably be all right In a
few days. There is no doubt that the period
of his recovery will depend much on the con-
tinuance OF the east winds. from which the
Newcastle district is suffering at present.
Severe weather prevails in the north, and
until that takes a favorable turn, the Ameri-
can champion will scarcely venture out to
take rowing exercise.

Tiiden in Georgia.

FL. W. Grady says: 81 see that some OF the
Georgia politicians claim that Georgia will
not favor the denomination OF Tilden.
Nothing, think, could be more untrue. The
people OF Georgia would nominate Tilden to-
morrow by three-fourths vote against the
field. Senator Hill and Senator Gordon, Gov
ernor Colquitt, Governor Brown, Governor
Smith and General Toombs all favor his re-
nomination, and that is a smart bunch Of
influence to start out with General Pierce
Young, Senator Evan Howell, "Tete" Smith,
Patrick Walsh, and many others of that class
favor the old man. The press is speaking
out In his favor, and he will get Georgia when
he wants it,"
