A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.

1t IL with regret we learn that Col. G. T. Gil
radey and daughter yesterday afternoon came
very near losing their lives By an accident that
was most remarkable. The Colonel and
daughter were out riding In q buggy, and when
on Coliseum street. near Euterpe. the foot
crossing caused the front wheels TO bounce up
wards. and thereby the centrepin became dis
lodged aud the horse trotted Off with the fore
wheels Of the vehicle. The body losing itss sup
port turned over. carrying with 1t Miss Glrardey
and the Colonel
Those who saw the accident thought that
both were seriously hurt, and rushed to their
assistance When the body oil the buggy was
raised both were lying in the dust The Colonel
in q moment got no, and taking his almost He
less daughter in bis arms. carried her TO the
banunette. 1t was some time before she reeov

The ladies' and gentlemen living In the neigh

restoratives were applied.
After some little delay the young lady re-
covered sufficiently to walk, and WHEN the horse
and the fore wheels wers brought back aud the
buggy repaired, the Colonel y aeed bis precious
burden Lii 1t and at slow gait started home

We congratulate the Colonel and his beautiful
daughter on the happy eseRra from what might

IN STATE WARRANTS

Some excitement has been created among
the Carondelet street brokers, particularly
among that class who make 1t speciality to
pay taxes on commission. It appears that
yesterday the brokers upon rendering paw
ment of State taxes to Mr.. Bouny, State tax
collector OF the lower districts Of New Orleans
were informed by that official that he could not
receive warrants dated after the thirty-ffrst of
March. explaining that he had been instructed
not TO receive such warrants by the State Audi
tor MIR. Allen Jumel. The broke thereupon
sought Major Burke. the State Treasurer. to
inquire about the matter. The Major answered
that whatever might be the course adopted
by the tax collector. he was ready to receive
from them warrants issued to the constitutional
officers of the State for the quarter ending
on the thirty-first Of March, although they
might not have been signed until the first OF
April. =
On the other hand Mr.. Bouny asserts that
before refusing the warrants In question hs
had first consulted the Attorney General.
whose opinion was ia accord with the insrruc.
tians Of Mr.. Jumel.
The brokers On their side claim that the war
rants they have purchased were issued In COM
men officials prior to the first quarter Of the
year. and therefore prior to the first of April.
and are legally receivable for taxes Some OF
by them from other brokers three or four DAYS

Death Of Vim. Lloyd Garrison.

IC0SW " |" Uts 1LtODU 0QTf10OWs
William Lloyd Garrison died at II O'Clock
May "a, at the Westmoreland Apartment.
House. where he has been lying in a critical
condition for tho last week. Only the i'm
mediate members of the family, consisting
OF four sons and q daughter, were present
around his death bed. They were Wendell
Phillips Garrison, of the Nation, George F.
Garrison, William Lloyd, Jr., Francis J..
Garrison, and Mrs. Henry Willard, in whose
apartments he died. The cause of death was
nervous prostitution, consequent upon paral-
ysls OF the bladder and kidney trouble of
long standing, substantially the same NAL
ady as that which recently terminated the
life. Of Gen. Dix. MI. Garrison has been
giving way for months, and was ordered by
ms physicians to take complete rest. When
Inc negro migration scheme began to attract
attention, and reports of extreme suffering
among the emigrants were circulated, Mr..
Garrison's active interest in the race to which
ne mad devoted his ripest intellectual efforts
was awakened anew. The letter read at the
recent meeting at Cooper Institute was Thus
his last manifesto and mental effort. His
little remaining strength broke down under
the strain, and he was compelled to abandon
his participation in the movement. g.. &c..
About three weeks ago, in the hope that
his physiciyn here mig hit find some remedy
to alleviate his suffe1ings, Mr.. Garrison came
TO New York. He went riding in the park
twice after his arrival, but his condition was
so feeble tho effort seemed to PROSTATE rather
than strengthen his failing powers. Two
weeks ago he was down stairs for the last
time. A painful crisis supervened, and he
was removed to Mrs. Wizards apartments,
which he has not left since. Unable to lie
down, he was obliged to sit propped up with
pillows, resting his feet upon divan at the
bedside. Few knew the veteran agitaror
was in the city until two weeks ago, when
the news of the crisis just mentioned crept
into the daily papers. The paragraph wor-
rled him exceedingly, and as he rallied from
the first acute attack in day or two his
friends declined to give any certain informa-
ton. Last Thursday relapse came, and
MI. Garrison was again Frustrated. On the
third day after the relapse Mr.. Garrison
abandoned Interpretation of favorable turn
In the disease, and summoned his friends
and family t., the bedside to receive his last
wishes. His mind remained clear until Fri
day night, when he became unconscious, and
was not expected to live until morning. In
this state he lay until II O'Clock Saturday
night and breathed his last
