Would not Launch.

At Roacll's shpyard, Chester, Pa, on
Saturd y afternoon, an attempt was made
to Launch the steamship LOUISIANA.
The ways had been laid under her and
ia lowed in the usual manner, and every
thing made ready for grand launch.
The blocks were knocked out, the shores
taken away, and the plank that holds the
vessel was sawed at fifteen minutes be-
fore three O'Clock, just a little before high
water, but the vessel did not start. The
Jacks were set to work, but all of no
avail. A jack with pressure of sixty
tons was placed on each of the ways and
two Others of like pressure were placed
under her bow. With this great pres
sure equal to 240 tons, one woul |
have thought the vessel would have
started, but she could not be moved
Every effort was made to launch her
untii about twenty minutes to four o.
clock when it was given up.
MIR. Fountain, who had charge OF the
launch, said the tallow was good, she had
plenty of tall, and the cause OF her stick
ing was mystery to him.
estei day afternoon another attempt
was made and proved successful.
This failure was worse than the one al
the II. Il Ii. Co.'S yards, in this city, a
few weeks ago, when the vessel stuck on
the ways for nearly an hour, but finally
went off. Ii was something similar to
that which occurred at Pusey, Jones X
Co.'S yard several years ago. In this
case the vessel refused, after repeated
efforts, to leave the ways, and was block
ed up while the workmen went home ioi
the night. When they returned the next
morning they found the boat in the water
She having launched herself, and with
out the slightest accident.

The ancient proverb TO the effect that
thieves make the best detectives ha j.,
been exemplified In Chicago. DR.. Lorri-
mer, pastor of the First Baptist Church
of that city, has been found guilty of
stealing and palning of as his own a ser
mon origi nally prepared by DR.. Joseph
Parker. The gentleman who discovered
and exposed the theft was a clergyman
celebrated for his plagiarisms, who had
"prigged" the sermon when 1t was first
published in the Fountain. Intending co
use it himself when 1t had sutfi ciently
ripened. His indignation was SO fierce
when he heard DIR. Lorrimer gravely de.
livering his favorite sermon that he ex.

that he was one of a baud of eighty four

Liberty street:
death from puerperal fever and pelvip
abscess, caused by the absorption of delete
rious matter from wound of the perineum,
said wound being produced by the violent,
ignorant and uncalled-for mechanical inter
ference, and administration of strong medi-
cines, by Mrs. Christina Noertker, during
the delivery of the deceased's child ON De-
cember 10th, 1873.

ker practices midwifery, she being totally
ignorant of the first principles of that
science. l therefore recommend that ths
Legislature pass law compelling all per

ticng midwifery, in order to protect the

GEN. BANNING FOR GOVERNOR.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-The following dis
patch was sent out last night, and appears
in number of Western papers this morn
ing:
Gen. Banning, member of Congress from
Cincinnati is authoritalively announced as
a candidate for the Democratic nomination
for Governor Banning has achieved some
notoriety in Congress by proposing plans
for the reorganization of the army. He
was defeated for denomination last fall,
and the successful man was defeated
by Republican at the election. Banning's
friends bank great deal on the fact that
he once defeated r. B. Hayes for Congress-
and that he is popular with "the boys"
He is not a great man by any means, and
most OF the Ohio politicians here think
that General Rice, now in Congress, would
be better candidate for the party to place
in the field"
ExoNERATING CAPT. EADs.
The statement is warranted by facts made
known here that the U. S. Grand Jury,
which has been sitting in St. Louis, will,
when it makes its report this month, COM
pletely exonerate Captain Eads from any
criminal implication in the affairs of the
Missouri Bank. This will fully meet and
answer the attack which was recently made
in the New York Sun, through the instga-
ton of his enemies.
ORDERED TO WASHINGTON.
General Hancock has been ordered here
to serve on consultation board. Several
other prominent officers are being ordered
here to serve on boards but it is fact to be
remarked that the officers who are coming
to Washington at this particular lime are
advocates of the army reorganization BILL
of which the General of the Army is also
all advocate.
