Why is III

The house on Forty second Street, N.
Y, where Mrs. Hull was killed, appears
to be doomed. The murder has been fa-
tai to its interests. All the boarders are
leaving with their baggage, and the fur
niture of the mansion is now being pre-
pared for sale at auction. DR.. Hull will
go to Connecticut to live, and the build
ing will be left in the hands of its own
er, pretty badly-damaged piece of prop
erty. The owner now talks of tearing
it to pieces and refitting it for business.
He has tried to lease it for boarding
house at very low terms, the rent being
made merely nominal, but the effort is a
failure, and it is evident that nothing
can be done with the place as resi-
dence.

THE TIMES, NEW BLOOMFIELD, Pa JULY Is, 1879.

there wasia team of horses standing just
outside this entrance facing the street,
and attached to truck within. With a
heavy thud the boys body struck the
slate roof forty-five feet below, smash
ing several states and making per-
ceptible eindentation.
From the spot where he struck he
rolled to the edge of the roof and down
toward the pavement, another headlong
journey of So feet. The boy struck be-
tween the heads of the team of horses,
fell upona truck pole and dropped softly
to the ground. He was sensible when
picked up and did not seem frightened.
His forehead and the back of his head
were cut and his body severely bruised.
None of his bones were broken, how
ever, and it is thought he has escaped
any serious injury.

Deaths from Fire Crackers.

Several deaths are reported as occur

but the following is the most distressing
case recorded:
Late in the afternoon of the Fourth

cracker under the dress of young girl
named Catharine Baker. A bystander
was reprimanding the youngster when
he saw that the girls dress had taken
fire. She dashed wildly across the street,
screaming at the top of her voice for
assistance, but before any one reached
her she was enveloped in flames from
head to foot. The fire was finally
smothered with piece of carpeting,
and the unfortunate girl taken to a
neighboring house, where the little
clothing that remained on her was re-
moved. In many places the skin was
burned to cinder, and in others, par
ticulary her back and breast, it came off
in great flakes. The poor girl suffered
terribly until two in the morning, when
she died.

Saved by Her Grip.

Mary, the ten-year old daughter of
Joel Coggswell, of New Albany, Ind,
went to the well to get some water. She
toppled over the curb and fell distance
Of 35 feet to the bottom. In her descent
she caught hold of the rope of the wind
lass, holding on to it until she reached
the water, which was five feet deep.
She clung to the rope, which had run
out its full length from the windlass, and
thus saved herself from drowning; and
then, holding one hand to the rope, she
began climbing up the stone curbing,
reaching the top in safety, and with few
bruises.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
wAsn1NeroN, D. O., july Q. 1s7l

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 9, 1879.
There is calm In Washington after the dis
appearance Of Congress. There is no talk Of
revolution, nullihcatlon or starving the govern
ment. Even the Fourth Of July did not make
an excitement In the streets.
There lie general pleasure expressed at the
unanimous vote by which monument was
authorized at the place of washington's birth,
and means provided for going on with the
Washington monument.
am not prophet, but venture TO predict
that we will have much quleter session of
Congress next winter than that just closed.
The Post" of this morning, which ought
to know better, and probably does, repeats the
old story that Secretary McCrary, ifnomlnated
to U. g. Judgeship will be rejected by the
Senate. don't believe FIVE Senators would
vote against his confirmation.
1t is said at the War observation-disclosures
the War Department regrets it-that twelve or
fifteen of the thirty-ive vacancies In the grade
of Second Lieutenant in the army will be filed
from civil life. Some, also, ought to be filled
by promotions from the ranks. The French or
English private soldier has a far better chance
of promotion from the ranks than a private
soldier here.
Yesterday the President signed the Commits
sions of members of the Mississippi River
Commission, and It is supposed that their
work will be commenced at once. The money
to carry out improvements suggested by them
will be cheerfully voted, for people generally
have confidence in the men who have been ap-
pointed and confirmed.
The sailing of the Yacht Jeanette from
San Francisco yesterday, on a voyage to the
North Pole, is a nota BILE event. The expedition
has the sanction of the U. 8. Government, but
is wholly at the expense of private citizen.

expedition and with the vast advantage of an
accurate knowledge of all that has taken place
In Arctic exploration in the past.

Terrible Explosion.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.-A dispatch
from Bodie says terrible explosion of
powder maga zine occurred near the
Old Standard incline works to-day,
which were blown to atoms and every
thing near them leveled to the ground.
The summit works, a short distance off,
were shattered to pieces. Many were
killed, the number not known at this
writing. About twenty wounded men
have been found thus far. 1t is not
known how many, if any, have been
injured in the shaft and underground
works. The top of the shaft in the old
incline is now on fire, but can surely be
put out. The hills are black with peo-
pie. James Hickey, foreman of the
mines is slightly hurt. At this time no
estimate can be made of the number
killed and wounded.

dred citizens and hanged.
MEADv1LLE, Pa, July s.-Samue Best,
aged about 65 years, while driving near
Shaw's landing last evening, was fatally

a leg broken, and his head badly bruised.
AT the last account he was still living.
esg- There is great excitement at Au
Sable, Mich, about wholesale milk
poisoning affair. On the 23rd ult., thirty
five persons were poisoned by using milk
sold by one dealer. No case has proven
fatal though some of the patients are very
sick. All will doubtless recover if properly
cared for.
Us A bridegroom at Grinnel, Iowa,
received cigar by mail, accompanied by
the written assurance that it would be
found of an uncommonly good flavor. The
bride recognized the handwriting as that
of a rejected suitor and unrolled the cigar,
to find several grains of strychnine in the
end that the smoker would bite off.
PHILADELPHIA, July Z. = This evening
Michael Lannigan, alias Franklin, upon re-
turning to his house, No. 422 Callowhill
street, found Louise Franklin, with whom
he had lived, intoxicated and talking about
him. He became angry and struck her in
the face with his open hand. She fell to
the floor and expired in few minutes. It
is thought death resulted from apoplexy.-
Lannigan was arrested.
ZEE Marvin Banning, before dying at
Hadlyme, Conn.,, told where $4,000 could
be found hidden in bag of butternnts,
and that bonds to an equal amount were
buried in cellar. He was seventy-four,
and for many years had deprived himself
of sufficient food and fire. His sole diet
was salt pork and coarse bread, and he
lived by himself. His property goes to a
needy sister.

Yellow Fever.

Several cases, of yellow fever have ap-
peared at Memphis. A dispatch dated
the 10th inst, says: The great desire of
every one is to leave the city before the
fever spreads. The physicians are hope
full as to the futnre, but the stampede of
the citizens has almost assumed panic
form. There will not be cars enough to-
night to carry the people away. Busi-
ness is progressing as usual but in linn
tied measure.
The board of health this morning, is
sued the following order:
To the People of the City of Memphis
We would say quietly remove your fam
lilies to place of safety until we can at
least see whether the few cases of yellow
fever will assume an epidemic form. To
the people along the lines of the differ
ent routes of travel we say there can be
no possible danger of infection for many
days to come.
Five new cases were reported this
morning and one death, an infant of
Judge J. E. r. Ray, of the criminal
court, who, together with another son,
is prostrated with the disease. A per-
feet stampede of citizens is in progress,
trains being unable to carry away the
huadreds who are willing to leave.
