. JUDGE CLIFFORD.
His Serious Illness--Fears that he
Cannot Resume his Duties.

WASHINGTON, October 9.-Justice
Nathan Clifford, of the United States
Supreme Court, arrived here yesterday
afternoon from Boston, very much ia
tigued by the journey. After reaching
the National hotel he became weak,
and his symptoms were for a time
very alarming. Drs. Toner and Lin
coin were summoned, and have been
in Attendance more or less since yes
terday. Indigestion and some conges-
ton appear to be the causes of the in.
trinity. Justice Clifford, although in
his seventy-seyeuth year, has enjoyed
exceptionally good health, and is a
man of great physical endurance.
During the circuit he has just finished
he has been usually busy in writing
opinions, a mental tax which his son
endeavOred to persuade him from do
ing. In Boston, on Thursday, before
leaving for Washington, he ateN a
hearty dinner and took the through
train for Washington. He did not
sleep well on Thursday night, So fan
as the attending physicians can discern
there is no evidence whatever of par
alysis. He uses his limbs with free
dom, but cannot articulate. He will
not be able to take his seat on the
bench on Monday next, and may be
physically incapacitated for duty dur.
ing the term Of court. Mr.. w. II.
Clifford, son of Justice Clifford, ar.
rived tonight from Portland, having
been t%elegraphed to come without
delay. The illness of Justice Cliff.
ford, together with his advanced age,
make it extremely doubtful whether
he will ever be able to resume hi,
place on the bench. He is entitled to
retire under the law, but would not
do so at this time when there is a pos
sibility OF the election Of a democratic
president who could name his success
sor from among the eminent lawyers
Of the democratic party. Justice
Hunt, OF New York, is also unable t
discharge his duties, being still al.
ficted with paralysis, and it is re.
ported in this connection that Justice
Swayne, of Ohio, will retire this fal.
from the court,

Il ITALIAN BALL.

TIE ITALIAN BALL.
The tenth annual ball of the
Societa di Unione e Fratellanza
occurred last night at Cochrane hall.
1t was given in honor Of the discovery
of Americl by the great Italian,
Christopher Columbus, who, 388 years
ago yesterday, first deserted land from
the decks of his ships, the shore of
the island of San Salvador, in. the
West Indies, looming 10 view. The
ceremonies opened during the day
with a parade by the Italian society in
uniform, preceded by a band of muse
The attendance was large and mum
bered nearly 400 persons. The ladies
were nicely costumed, the music vas
inspiring, especially after the theater
closed, when several additional pieces
were added to the ochestra, and the
dancing seemed delightful to the hap
py throng. Everything passed off to
the satisfaction Of all interested, the
repast being particularly palatable and
bounteous as well as Of extensive
variety. The usual national dish of
macaroni supplied in great abundance
and prepared in that exquisite style
that only an Italian knows how, was
partaken Of by all guests in copious
supply and to the enjoyment of all.
The festivities'extended to a late hour
Of the night, or rather into the early
hour Of the morning, and everything
paaed off pleasantly. The managers
one and all deserve much credit for
the skillful manner in which they
conducted the entertainment.
"A CHILD OF THE STATE"
This exciting and well constructed
melodrama had its second representa-
ton at Leubrie's theater last night,
and its rendition by the admirable
company was smooth and pleasant
throughout. While the play is full
Of startling features and climaxes, il
is relieved from heayiness by various
bits Of comedy Of an entertaining ma
ture, and there is nothing in the piece
to give offeuse in the slightest par
t%icular. Indeed, "A Child of the
State" is one OF the best translatious
from the French we have yet enjoyed
the pleasure Of witnessing. The
scenery is new, fresh and appropriate,
the music original and we'll executed,
and the entertainment is all.that can
be desired. The play will be repeated
tonight.

New York, July pa cable dispatch
from Paris furnishes Tho following partic-
ulars of the death of Mrs, Annie Wetmore |:
The suicide of Mrs. Annie We,more which
took place at the residence of Lady Abbott
Clinton, No II Rue Chateau au Brian, ut 3
o'clock yesterday, has created a painful SEN
sation among English and American resi-
dents here. 1t is the old story of misplaced
affection, abandonment and disbonor. Some
two or three years ago the deceased lady met
Marquis Anglesley, then Lord Henry Psget
She was handsome, attractive woman, and
il is said she abandoned her husband and
only child under the impression that if she
coull get divorce Lord Henry Paget
would marry her. However this may be, it
ia certain that the relations. of the parties
were of the most intimate character, and the
friends of Mrs. Wetmore were led to believe
that the promise of marriage actually exist
cd, and that divorce having been obtained,
she would soon become Lady Anglesly,
Lord Henry Paget having succeeded 70 that
title. Unfortunately her hopes were sud-
denly blasted, however, by the publication of
the marriage of the new marquis 10 Hon.
Mrs. Woodhouse, widow of Lord Kimber-
ley's second con, and daughter Of Preston
King, of Georgia. The shock TO Mrs, Wet.
more was terrible, and her friends thought
she would lose her reason. After she became
more composed tho idea came to her of
suing the marquis in the English law courts
for breach Of promise, AS she had upward of
four huadred Of his letters, which she con-
sidered would establish her case.
Whether she shrank from the scandal
of such proceedings or whether she was
deferred from tho resolution by insufficiency
of testimony is not known, but she settled
down into state OF melancholy from which
nothing could arouse her, and finally she
procured the fatal drug which put an end to
her existence. The police authorities held
an inquiry into the affair to-day. After
inspecting the body they gave Mr.. Weeks, of
the chapel in Rue Bayard, permission to
make all necessary arrangements for the
funeral. The last services will be conducted
by the Rev. Morgan, at his chapel mex, Satur-
day morning.

Drowned Criminal
CareIessness
Charged.

Detr oit, Mich, July PA terrible acct
dent occurred about 10 o'clock last night on
the Detroit river, some nine miles below this
city. The excursion steamer Garland, with
100 persons on board, under the auspices of
the Detroit molders' union, while going down
the river, collided with the steam yacht
Wannine, coming up, cutting her in two, so
she sunk almost instantly. The latter had on
board "a persons, consisting Of Father
Bleyenburg, pastor Of Trinity Roman Cath
Ole church, of this city, and number of
acolyths and boys, officiating in various ca
pacities in the service of the church. They
had been on their annual excursion to Mon.
roe, and were returning home. The
night was bright with moonlight, and
there would seem to have been
no reason, save that of criminal neglect, why
the accident should have occurred. 0fthose
on board the Mamie the following were
drowned: Mrs Fred Martin, wife ofthe en-
eineer; Miss Lizzie Murphy, housekeeper of
Father Blyenburg; Miss Mary Hahn, of the
domestic parochisl school of Trinity
church, and nine altar boys of the church,
aged from eleven to fourteen years; Thomas
Kelly, sexton of the church; Jim Kelly, the
organ blower, and Andrew Doran, boy who
was invited to accompany the excursion.
Thomas Michigan, another boy, is missing,
and is doubtless lost. Charles Huffman, En-
gineer Martin, Father Blyenburg, Miss Lizzie
Dusean, Of Monroe, and four others were
saved, and reached this city about two o'clock
this morning. None of the bodies were re-
covered
