however, as 1t is stated the committee will
submit the testimony taken to the senate,

in its report.

Double Tragedy.


TheViennese papers relate Il terrible story
of the heartlessness of man and the creduli-
ty of woman. At an earty hour of June II
the valet dc chambre Of Count Henery Coud-
[enhoyen, then staying at his fathers chat
eau Of Ottensheim, near Linz, came upon
the dead bodies of two handsome and well.
dressed young women in the castle garden.
lying on either sidelof the door leading from
the ground into Count 'Hehry's' private
apartment" The~corpses' were identified.
shortly after their discovery, as those of
Marie Damain-D almont and Aline de Rem
neville, Frenchwomen by birth, who had ar
rived i'll Linz from Vienna the, previous
morning, and surgical examination of their
remains established the fact that they had
committed suicide in an uncOmmonly DELHI
crate and resolute manner. j Each girl had
barred her left breast, pointed the muzzle of
a revolver at her heart, and discharged
the weapon with fatal effect. In the case of
Mile. de Renneville, who was found Wing
upon her back stretched out at full length,
death probably ensued simultaneously but
Marie Damain's dress showed signs of a long
death agony, endured by its wearer upon the
damp soil, and i'll her hands were tightly
clutched tufts OF grass, which the untortu.
nate girl had torn up by the roots while
writhing with intolerable anguish
The investigation which followed dis
closed a packet Of letters addressed bv Ma
RE Damain-Dalmont to the French embassy
in which was written narrative of the cir
cumstances which led to the dreadful deed.
This history is a most pathetic document.
1t is dated June 10th, 1882, and begins:

conduct to me which has driven me to take
this desperate step. Two days, later she

from Vienna to Linz where Marie made
last passionate appeal to her betrayer to do
her justice. He was pitiless, and the last
act of the double tragedy terminated under
the Counts window
The poor girls account of her lovers inditIer-
ence and his fathers hardness of heart might be
ened exaggerated did not subsequent circum-
stances show them to be true to the letter. Old
Count Coudenhoven was so shocked at the whole
event that he left the castle the same day on which
the cOrp3es were found. The young Count order
ed decent funeral for the girls, and made the
gardener cut all the flowers to be found in hot
house and gardens to deck their collins and their
grave. The old Count. on returning to Ottenheim,
heard of this, and Immediately gave orders the
very reverse OF those given by his son. The GIRLS
were buried outside the churchyard wall in the
early morning, when no one knew of the ccrc-
mony, and when no friendly hand could throw
earth upon them with a plying heart.

The CLAW Statue,

The marble statue of Henry Clay has been
removed from its position on the Capitol
Square in Richmond and carried to the
southern portico of the State House. where
Captain Rogers, an experienced marble cut
ter, is overhauling it. During the years it
has been exposed mischievous boys have
seriously maltreated this great mans image.
The index finger of one hand was knocked
off: The lapel of his coat was torn and
disarranged. The tall, old fashioned stand
ing collar, which encircles his neck, had the
corners Clipped offby stone, rock or other
missile. A severe bruise is observable on
the broad, massive forehead and numerous
dents and scratches about the face. The
statcsman's old fashioned coat bears innum-
cradle marks of the gravel shooters. In
snort, the statue has been very badly treat
Ell. The marble cutters have removed all
traces OF these, as far rs it is possible. Both
hands were amputated at the wrist lust
where the cuffs fall; new hands have been
made and will be inserted under the wrist
bands, so that the joints will not be visible.
The lappels ofthe coat have been rearranged
SO as to remove the portions defaced and
the broad SHIRT collar clipped off at the ends
SO as to get rid of the battered parts. This
gives that article of wearing apparel a de-
cldedly more modern cut and appearance.
When the repairs are completed most of the
defects alluded to will be removed. II has
been decided not to replace the statue on
the pedestal where it has heretofore stood,
bat place it in the Capitol. Cor. Pc

ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING, JULY Is, 1882.

Mr. BoBERT RANDALL, counsel for the
Credit industrial, says that ex-Secretary
Blaine twas in favor of utilizing the pro-
gramme Of the Credit Industriel at all haz-
ards, or that he pushed the conventional
diplomatic license beyond all precedent and
example, or that he has utterly forgotten
every material fact connected with his
South American policy" Mr.. Blaine's evil
dence before the Poland committee, his oath
in the affair of the Mulligan letters, his So
cred word respecting the Caldwell dispatch,
and various other incidents in his history
all go to prove that it is upon the middle
horn of his dilemma as stated by Mr.. Ran
dali, that the cx-Secretary must hang and
to be exhibited to the public as a common
perjurer is not happy lot for an aspirant
for the Presidency.

In Petersburg yesterday on the petition of r
a. Martin, George H. Davis. R. T. Arlington and
others representing the democratic party of the
city, Judge S. 8. Weisiger, of the Circuit Court
issued an injunction restraining Emmett W. Couch
the 'readjuster City Treasurer, and Frank R. Rus.
SELL the readjuster City Auditor, from paying any
funds of the city to officers elected by the Common
Council on the 1st of July last. A bond for
Sl,ooo was given by petitioners, conditioned to
pay all such costs as may be awarded against
them, and such damages as shall be incurred in
case the injunction shall be dissolved. The in
junction is issued on the ground that those ap
pointed to office by the Council on the LIST day of
July last are not legally elected officers. The in
junction is made returnable to the August rules.
Should Judge Weisiger refuse to dissolve the in
junction the matter will be taken to the Court of
Appeals to be held next November Meanwhile
none of the officers elected by either Council and
now on duty receive any compensation from the
city for services until the courts determine who
are the legally elected officers.

The Paris police returns for 1881 furnish a
number of interesting facts as to the distr-
button of crime between the sexes and
among different nationalities and occupa-
tions. Of the whole number of persons con-
victed 10000 were of the male sex and 8, 900
of the female sex. Of the former, three in
eight were minors, and of the latter only
one in five were under age. The English
colony contributed So arrests, the German
27I, the Italian GOO, and the Belgian nearly
WOO. Unfortunately the returns do not show
what numerical proportions these colonies
bear to one another and to the native popu-
lation. About IA 900 of the offences COM
mitted are included under the title "yaea-
bondage nearly 5000 under the title s:re-
bellion," or refractory and disorderly con-
duct, and $3.50 were thefts of all descrip-
tions. The trades which contributed most
largely to the army ofcriminals were those
of masons, painters, jewellers and seam
stresses. The butchers furnished 3S7 con-
victions and the bakers only POI; the cab
drivers 755, wine sellers 1000, domestic ser
wants 1000, cooks239, and proprietor only
