 Use of ParasOI and a Stone.
 NEW YORK, August Ion Thursday, about noon, girl eighteen years old, of Wakefield, Mass, who is on a visit to friends in this city, was knocked down by highway man on Boston avenue near the Yonkers road. The man demanded her purse, which she refused to give, and then tried to rob her of her jewelry. In attempting to get posses sion of her gold earrings he tore one of her ears. She cried for help, but one was by. She managed to get on her feet and poked the stranger in the eyes with her parasol. He struck at her in return, and she picked up stone and used it so efectually on the mans head and face that he ran away. The woman went to the Fremont police station and told her story. Officers were sent out to look for the tramp who was described as about twenty-five years old, and of low stat ure, with smooth face. He was dressed in a threadbare suit of black.

Would Not Appear Against Him.
 BALTIMORE, Aug. Mrs. Carrie James, aged twenty eight, wife of Loader James, a liquor dealer, committed suicide yesterday by taking an ounce and half of laudanum. She lately had not lived happily with her hus- band, he having become jealous of her. Friday they had quarrel, and after mutual recrimination he either struck or pushed her. She procured a warrant for his arrest, and it was served early this morning. She at the same time had received summons as wit ness At the hour set for the hearing she had not made her appearance, and messenger being sent to her house it was found that at about eight o'clock she had taken the fatal drug and was then in the agonies of death. Justice Grisdau at once released the accused, and he went to the bedside of his dying wife In the meantime Drs. Andre and Bates had been summoned and did all in their power for her relief, but the unfortunate woman died a few hours later.
 Till Death Does Sever-A Husband Whose
 Affection Died With His Wife.
 BALTIMORE, Aug 1.-Inteligence has been received in this city of a romantic suicide in Holy Cross cemetery, Baltimore county The wife of J. F. Erhenbeck, aged ifty-fve, g German, died about two months ago, since which time the husband has been very much depressed. He had been in the habit of making frequent visits to the grave of his wife, and strewing it with flowers, and Friday left his home to perform this duty During the afternoon the keeper of the cemetery discovered his corpse lying the green mound, death having been caused by two pistol shots, one fired through the temple and penetrating the brain and the other piercing the heart. The crimson fluid had flowed from the ghastly wound over the fresh flowers that blossomed on the grave. The attachment between the couple had been of the most devoted character, and at the funeral ceremony of his wife Erhenbeck was heard to remark that he would soon join her in the other world. They had been married six years and leave one child.

Gunbonts for Mexico.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Mexican Govern ment now have in course of construction at Greenpoint three small vessels, which, when completed will answer the purpose of war vessels and revenue cutters. The three ves- sels are each 120 feet in length and 75 feet beam, and were constructed at the shipyard of James Peck, of Greenpoint, under the su- perintendence of Senor Don Oquilaro, the Mexican commissioner, who obtained the contract for the building of the vessels. The boats are constructed for speed and durability and are also supplied with a liberal amount of canvas. The trial trip of La Resguardo de Tampico took place few days ago, the Mexican Consul and attaches of the Legation attending. The vessel answered her helm beautifully and averaged speed of thirteen miles an hour. The other vessels, La Resguardo de Campeche and La Resguardo de Progresso, will be ready in few days. When completed the vessels will sail for Mexico and enter upon active service without delay.

The force of the collis- ion was so great that the eastern bound en- zine was turned almost completely around. Both engineers jumped with their fremen, the engineers being caught under their loco motives. John Walcott was dead when re- moved and his brother Henry died shortly after being taken to the depot at Morris Grove, where the injured passengers were taken and cared for by physicians from Ja- maica. Conductor Allen had his ribs broken and is i..iared internally. Four others are seriously injured and many more or less hurt.
