Fatal Choke Damp.

PITTSBURGH, Oct. 31.-Kiefer & Stiefel's
t%annnery, in the upper part of Allegheny
City, was the scene of a terrible affair Tues
day morning, two men sacrificing their lives
IN an unsuccessful attempt to save their fell
low-workman. The firm have been digging
. well to be used as a vat, and this morning
Christ Dickson, an employe, went down to
measure the depth of water, when he was
overcome by foul air. Ferdinand Schrader
and Charles Schultz, who were
working near by, heard his cries
and Schrader descended into the
well to assist him. But no o had he
reached the bottom than the fatal choke
damp rendered him ~insensible. Schultz
then followed, but he was also overcome,
Ropes were then procured and fastened
around the bodies of Salome Bamberger
and Rhinehart Remsen, who were lowered
into the death trap. With difficulty they
tied the bodies to the ropes, and all were
hauled up. Dickson, Schrader and Schultz
were dead and Bamberger and Remsen were
unconscious, but with the aid of restoratives
were soon revived, and they were able to 90
to their homes. Dickson was single, and
the other two were married.

Novel and Pathetic Scene.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 31.-There was q
novel and pathetic scene in the new court
house Tuesday, where Charles Briggs was
on trial for the murder of his wife, or al
deged wife. 1t was a t~welve-year-old girl,
although she seemed small for that age,
whose testimony will probably send the
prisoner in the dock, who is about fifty years
old, to the scaffold. The little girl, who
was as bright Intellectually as she was
pretty of face, told the story of the killing
with vivid distinctness. This has already
been related, but her subsequent evidence.
wherein she detailed the previous q%uarrels
Of her mother and her father, as she called
Briggs, completely upset, in advance, the
theory which it is expected the defense will
adopt, viz: That the prisoner is insane, or
was at the time of the killing. The little
girl told9o of the repeated quarrels between
Briggs and her mother about women and
men, and unfolded an awful story of do
meStic deDraVity,
