BALTIMORE, June 1f.-Anna Wills, aged
10 years, died here last week under suspi-
cious circumstances. and it is now thought
that she was poisoned. She had been Wis
tied several times by Mrs. Elizabeth Bean,
and the latter claimed the girls effects soon
after the deed, showing a document naming
her as the dead girls beneficiary. Mrs.
Beams name had previously figured in vari-
GUS courts Of this city as defendant in suits
instituted to set aside deeds of trust in her
favor, made by parties without being rela-
tives, who had known Mrs. Bean only a
short time before they expired. 1t is ru-
mOred that Miss Wills was soon to have
come into possession of $4,000. The po-
lice have seized all the effects of Miss Wills
that they could find in Ms. Beams posses
sion, but large amount of money and
clothing is still missing. The case is being
investigated.

PARIS, June 11.-At Theirs, town in
the department of Puy de Dame, a murder
trial has been in progress for some days.
Yesterday, the last day of the trial, the
court house was crowded with men and
women anxious to witness the closing scene.
When the people were leaving, immedi-
ately after the adjournment of the court,
and were jammed upon the second stairway
leading to the scene, the lofty stairway fell.
The scene that followed was appalling.
Immense masses of masonry from above
crashed down upon the struggling people
below, grinding into their flesh and bones
and mutilating them in a horrible manner.
The fall of the staircases and the shriells Of
the people lying helpless in the ruins
caused a panic in the court room,
and there was rush for the now
wrecked exit. Those who were in front
were unable to withstand the pressure from
behind and were hurried down upon the
men and women who had been crushed III
the fall of the staircase and whom the people
III the street were already striving to rescue.
When at length the panic had exhausted
itself and the immense stone steps of the
fallen staircase had been removed, twenty
persons were taken from the ruins dead.

and their wounds are of serious charac-
ter. When the massive stone arch fell the
scene was fearful to witness. The immense
stone steps above with the people upon it
was precipitated upon the dead and dying
below. adding to the horrors of the awful
spectacle. A later dispatch from Thiers
makes the court house calamity there yes
terday by far more disastrous in its cOnse-
Quences than the earlier dispatches indi-

Cable On the Crop outlook.
Special to the Globe.


CHICAGO, June 11.-President r. R.
Cable of the Rock Island, in discussing the
crop outlook along the line of the road and
its branches remarked that on the Illinois
division there was from a half to two
thirds stand of corn and that the prospect
for oats was frst-class. The cultivation
and yield of this latter grain was becoming
of great volume yearly and has assumed
large proportions of late. Corn prospects
in Iowa were about equal to those OF
Illinois. Wheat was hardly worth
mentioning, especially in Kansas. Northern
Missouri and Southern Iowa. The farmers
were sowing corn in its place, and there was
possibility of a crop of that cereal that
would furnish the roads substitute for
portion of the traffic that would be lost In
the failure of the wheat yield. The outlook
was not very encouraging and all Western
roads would have to face diminished ton
mage from the cause mentioned.

rived in the city this morning on the steamer
Gray Eagle, having in charge Joseph Gray,
colored. A week ago Miss Emily Davis

on two occasions, and he was brought to
this city to be lodged i'll Jail for safe keep
ing until the October term of

she found her daughter lying stretched
across the path with her skull crushed. By
the side of the dead girl lay the empty
bucket which she had carried. Part of her
clothing had been pulled from her body,
and other marks of violence showed the
brutal design of tie murderer. A
few yards distant were two large
boulders dyed in blood. The alarm
was given, and only few hours elapsed
before the neighborhood was aroused. Sus-
picion pointed to Joe Gray, who had been
employed on the Davis farm on the Tues
day previous to the murder. Fresh tracks
were found near the spring, which cor
respond exactly with the imprint made by
Gray's foot Gray was soon arrested, and

him. Masked men visited the Jail two
nights in succession, but the sheriff con-
cealed the prisoner in the woods, and finally

Gen. Grants Summer Trip.

Special TO the GlODe.
NEW YORK, June 11.-Gen. Grant has
accepted the invitation of j. W. Drexel, a
WEALTHY gentleman and an old friend of the
generals, to occupy his summer cottage on
Mount MacGregor. Mr.. DreXel was desir-
Gus that the general should come to his cot
tge at Saratoga, but it was stlseught that
the retirement would be better and that the
keen, bracing mountain air would have a
much better effect on his health, therefore
Mr.. DreXel offered to the family the exclu-
sive use Of the AIacGregOr cottage during
the months of June and July. The family
are ready at the shortest notice, and the
general himself anticipates the change
with great pleasure. The date on which
the change will be made has been decided
upon as Tuesday, June %. The change
would have been made before that but DR..
Douglas considered that the air was still
too cool. The date set depends entirely upon
the generals condition. Should the weather
become settled and the patient feel bright,
the trip may be undertaken sooner. Prob
ably it will be made between June % and
July 1. Mount MacGregor is eleven miles
from Saratoga, and rises 1000 feet in
height. The scenery around is beautiful
and the mountain is accessible from Sara
toga by narrow guage railroad, which is
in excellent condition, as it has been in
operation only three years. On the sum-
nit of the mountain is the cottage which
Gen. Grant will occupy. 1t is pleasantly
situated among the trees, and the scenery
surrounding it is picturesque. Gen. Grant
and his family will remain at Mount Mac
Gregor through the month OF July-perhaps
longer. Dr.. Douglas and family will ac-
company the party, and the physician will
remain in constant attendance on his patient.
