The long talked of marriage of tho
Baroness Burdett-Coutts and William
l.. Ashmead Bartlett took place in
London on Sunday, in tho presence o
only relatives and Intimate friends. In
accordance with the will of tho duchess
of st. Adams, Mr.. Bartlett assumed
the name OF Burdett-Coutts before his
own legal cognomcn. The pair will
spend the honeymoon in Kents at the
seat of Admiral Gordon. The bride is
67 years of age, and the groom about
80. The life of this lady has been de-
voted to charity. Every year since
she came into tho possession of her for
tune she has spent between 81 200, 900
and 81 200, 900 for tho relief Of suffer
ing humanity, for the benefit of
society, and for the advancement of
religion, education and art. Her hus-
band is young man, but she has al
ways admired him. She educated
him and made him her protcgc. He
devoted himself to her service, and
exposed himself to many hardships
for her sake.
Capt. Eads's proposed ship railroad
has n precedent in Germany, where
vessels of sixty tons capacity are car
ried overland from the upper TO the
lower part of the Elbing- Overland
Canal, in West Prussia. This ship
railroad has been in successful operation
for over sixteen years, but when the
idea was first preached it was ridiculcd
by everybody. Even then, however,
there had been n precedent for the

epraphed our authorities here on Saturday,
that 800 reward was offered for the men.
The manner OF their escape was related to
us by Mr. Cali, the hack driver. He says
that Gallon told the sheriff all about it.
Gallon says that means of escape We're
provided the prisoners three weeks ago, by
q Swede who came to visit Anderson. He
gave Anderson two small spring steel saws,
rolled up in little packages of paper not
bigger than buttons. These saws will go
through iron like ordinary saws 60 through
wood With these, Anderson and Walker
sawed the staples that held the locks of
their cells. When they had these sawed
off, they went to release GALLON. They
had his door nearly ready to push open,
when the two thought they heard the sher-
if coming, and lit out with all speed. II
50 CHANGED that Mrs. Goodell. the sheriff s
wife, was i'll that night, and GoodelPs GO
ing out for DIR. Lyman was what discon-
certed the Jail birds. Had it not been for
this, GALLON would have been free. At
this writing neither of the escaped men
have been apprehended.

In speaking of Litta, the Boston Aduertiser
says:
He voice, as whole, has gained in pow
er. and has held its own in respect of res
onance 1t is now, as before a very trust
worthy and effective instrument, possess
ing more than average sweetness and sym
pathy. and excelling in force and brilliancy.
As an actress. also, Mile. Litta shows pro
gress in a good direction her style beng
ampler, freer and more expressive than be-
fore. During most of her effort of last
evening. her playing was marked by nice
taste and judgment. In the Jewel song, =
both her singing and her acting were high
ly effective, and in the love duets with
Faust the growth of her fancy into a pow
erful, concentrated passion, was shown
with skill which was truly admirable. 1t
is not often that the depth and fervency of
a strong love are displayed with action at
once SO quiet and SO telling as that used
by Mile. Litta at the height of the climax
in the third act.

STEAMER sUNK.

This morning at an early hour the raft
boat Little Eagle, struck rock in the rap
ids and Immediately went to the bottom.
The boat left Rock Island for the up-river
points during the night, and reached what
is known as Campbelrs chain when the ac-
cident occurred. At the time of the mis-
hap the boat was running at fair rate OF
speek. The rock, forming part of the
chain, struck the boat, and water immedi-
ately entered and the craft sank. The
water was about 8 feet in depth. Captain
Lucas and his force of men remained on
board, as the upper deck was above the
water line.
The craft belonged to the Mcdonald
Bros of Lacrosse, and was valued at
$1,000 The Little Eagle has been in the
service for the past eight years, and per
haps the above quoted figure is excessive.
A diver was telegraphed for, as soon as
Captain Lucas reached this point, and as
soon as the amount of injuries sustained is
ascertained, steps will be taken to raise
the sunken steamer.

ACCIDENTS.

Yesterday afternoon a young boy, Vister
Kilvin. met with fatal accident in one of
the government buildings on the Island. He
was standing in the attic story and attempt
ed to carry heavy roller. The load being
too heavy for him, he stepped upon some
loose boards and was precipitated through
the two intervening floors to the cellar be-
Meath His fall was slightly broken by
coming in contact with the joists of the
different floors. He was taken from the
cellar and conveyed to the hospital, where
Dr. Truesdale was summoned. The boys
skull was fractured in three different places,
his nose was broken and internal injuries
were received.
His death was reported at an early hour
this morning.
A son of d. S. Spoffoad, of Morrison,
fell from tree one day last week, a dis
lance of about eighteen feet, striking his
breast on a sharp picket. The picket en-
tered the left breast near the heart, COM
pletely impaling the child. He is now ly-
ing in very precarious condition, and but
little hope is entertained of his recovery,
