The Asphnlt Mononolx.

The contract for paving part of New
York avenue, which was bid for to-day,
suggests way In which the asphalt mud
die may be relieved or obviated. The mate
rial to be used in this work is the so-called
asphalt brick, a paving stone made of lime,
asphalt, and sand, of which an unlimited
supply can be obtained at low price. As
u paving material this il preferred to the
Belgian block, and many consider it supe-
rior to the asphalt pavement in durability
and comfort. The asphalt brick has never
been extensively used here, owing to the
great hold that asphalt streets had upon
the public mind, and the popular desire to
have as many miles Of asphalt paved streets
in the city as possible. Now, however, the
advantage taken of this by monopoly have
compelled the Commissioners to find some.
thing else, and the asphalt brick seems to
fill the bill
The large space at Seventh street and
Pennsylvania avenue is paved with this
material, and the vicinity Of the National
Theatre is similarly paved.

There was collision, attended with.
serious results. ON the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad, at Thornton Station, West Vir-
ginia, yesterday. On rounding the curve
Mt this station, the Chicago express ran into
the Cumberland accommodation train. The
violence of the collision telescoped the rear
passenger car Of the accommodation train
and crushed the ends of the other cars. The
shock also detached the boilers from the
engine trucks, and the escaping steam
added greatly to the terrible. effects of
the accident. None of the passengers ON
the Chicago express sustained any injury,
but nearly all on the accommodation train
were injured or .scalded by escaping steam.
Just before the trains collided, John Birns,
baggage master on the Chicago express,
jumped from his car and broke his left leg
The injured on the Cumberland accommo-
dation train are as follows; .... ..t
Nellie White, aged 10 years, daughter Of
ex-Attorncy- General White, Wheeling,
badly scalded; has since died. David G.
Moore, Nashville, Tenn. badly scalded on

BrOkers Excited ny Sudden Change
ia stock Values. ta. +.

Somewhat ola sensation existed to-day
among the Fifteenth street brokers and
Others over the sudden change in Hannibal
& st. Joe common stock, which sold yes
terday ut 9S! and to-day at noon ut 200,
making the average profit upon hundred
shares sl0,49o. Therc were some Washing.
ton Spectators WHO were bears ON this
stock. One prominent business man who
is said to have carried 500 shares, was re-
ported ON the street to-day as
having, by the change in the
quotations, been a victim to the extent
of $4,000. 1t is well known In banking
circles, it is said, that Hannibal and st. Joe
stock is not worth 40. 1t is further al
legged that ithas paid no dividend for IL
years. This is but another illustration
Of how foolish it is for the general public to
dabble in stocks. They are completely at
the mercy of half dozen men in Wall
street who have 1t in their power to dc.
crease good paying stock fifty per cent, and
enhance the value of worthless stock 100

Another Fatal ARRAY Near Peters.
I'm burg. Va. lt.,it i.l

A shocking afifay occurred at late hour
Monday night near Hicksford, Grecnvillc
County, about forty miles from Petersburg,
Va, which resulted in the death of one Of
the parties and the supposed mortal wound
ing Of the other. Both PARTIES had at
tended the County Court during the day,
and the facts as near as can be ascertained,
are about as follows:
John w. Saunders, justice of the peace,
while returning to his home from the
Courthouse about IL o'clock heard loud
voices, as Of persons quarrcling ut a house
near the road. He went there to ascertain
the cause, and found several persons as
scmbled, among them q man named John
Davis, between whom, it is reported, some
unpleasant words had passed during the
day. Davis asked Saunders what had
brought him there out of his way. Saun-
ders replied that he wanted to see what was
the matter. Davis applied an cpithet to
Saunders and the latter ordered his arrest,
whereupon quarrel ensued between the
two men, which resulted In each drawing
pistols and firing on the other. Reports
differ as to who fired the first shot. Davis
was shot twice through the head and once
in the body, and died almost Instantly
Saunders was shot in the arm, the ball also
entering the body. His wound is thought
to be mortal. Both men were well. known
citizens, and Saunders is man of family
The affair causes great regret in the COM
munity.

National Theatre.

The National Theatre will open to-mor-
row night. The season will be inaugurated
by Barlow, Wilson, Primrose & Vests
mammoth MINISTRIES. The Baltimore Ners
thus describes the performance by this COM
pany, at the Holliday-street Theatre, in
Baltimore: 1.-THE house was filled with an
immense audience, who were in roars of
laughter during the whole evening over
the funny things said and done by the
members of this brilliant troupe of minstrel
performers. The first part of the evenings
entertainment was trimming over with
novelties, one of the sweetest gems of the
bill being "When the Leaves Begin
to Turn" waltz song sung by
Frank Howard. Barlow, as usual, was un-
surpassed in his rendcrings of the old plan
tation darby, and it is only necessary to
mention the name of George Wilson as
representing all that is laughable in
songs and OratiOns. SchoOlcraft and Goes
introduced laughable sketch. Prim-
rose and West, with other members
of the troupe, gave "The Colored
Masquerade in the most effective style,
embodying songs, dances and much
novel business. A mammoth clog dance,
entitled "The Great American Jockey
Club, " is immense. burlesquc ON "Oli.
vctte closed the evenings performance
The whole troupe of MINISTRIES has been i'm
proved in many of its features, new per.
formers having been added and no attiac-
tons removed. There are ten cnd-men,
whose costumes are Of an extreme aesthetic
order
