BAD SEASON FOR SHOWS.

The Government Appealed to For More
Money to Keep the Head of the New Or
leans Exposition Above Water.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February IA
committee representing the commission
ers of forty-six States and Territories at
the New Orleans Exposition, will to-day
present memorial to Congress asking an
additional appropriation of $500, 900 to tide
over the financial difficulties of the Expo
sition. The memorial states that the
81 100000 already appropriated by Con-
gress has been judiciously expended, and
the work accomplished could not, in their
opinion, have been exceeded. It further
sets forth that the faith of the Govern
ment while not technically promised to
make the Exposition success, is
morally pledged to do SO, and unless it
fultlls its plighted faith, will be subject
ed to censure at home and abroad. As a
matter of policy, too, the memorial urges
this additional appropriation; that with
out it sail is lost" Government loan,
stock subscription, donations and all.
The continuation of Government aid
means repayment to the Government in
whole or in part for it's advances. The
committee will have conference with
the President in the morning and expect
a favorable message from him urging the
amount asked for.

A PITiFUL STORY.

The Terrible Downfall of Once Prominent
Philadelphia Lady Through Her Inordi-
nate Love for Drink-Death Among Rags
and Squalor.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, February ia
woman who belonged to one of the best
families in Philadelphia, died in a
wretched frame house on kaign's avenue,
Camden, N. j., at an early hour yester-
day morning, from the effects of an as
sault on her by two young negroes, Will
liam Fisher and John Burley, on the 14th
of January Thei vas woman once the hand
some and accomplished wife of ex-Judge
Woodward, and moved in the best So
ciety. She became addicted to drink,
and her downfall was rapid and
terrible. Her friends, for a long time,
tried to reclaim her, but at last they were
compelled to abandon her, though they
fixed upon her an income sufficient to
maintain her in comfort. After she was
given up by her relatives, she became
utterly abandoned, and associated with
the vilest characters, and was continu-
ally under the influence of liquor. Some
years ago she moved to Camden to the
house where she died, and her furnl-
ture and clothing attracted much atten-
tion in that squalid neighborhood, by
their expensive quality. But she
died in the midst of filth and
rags. Early in the evening
of January 14th the residents of the neigh
borhood heard screams in Mrs. Wood
wards residence, and upon breaking into
the house, found the unfortunate woman,
bound and gagged, LIVING in a pool of
blood. Fisher and Bailey were arrested
for the assault, and the latter having
turned States evidence, the men were
sentenced by Judge Read to five and six
years respectively in the State Prison.
The death of Mrs. Woodward was
caused, beyond doubt, by the
brutal kicks and blows she received at
the hands of the negroes, and from
which she had been suffering ever since
the attack. DR.. Wills, the physician who
has been attending her, says her death is
the result of the injuries, and refuses to
give a certificate of death until post
norton examination is made. Monday
evening she sent message to NJ. SEQ
vile, Esq, to come to her house and
write her will. Thinking it one of her
many whims, Scoville did not go. About
three O'Clock yesterday morning the
woman spoke her last words and at 7:45
O'Clock she died

CONDENSED KILOGRAMS.

In the Senate on the 18th a me mortal was
presented from the Pennsylvania Legisla-
ture asking that that State be reimbursed
for money spent in defense of the United
States. The Indian appropriation bill was
taken up and there was a long discussion
on the claims pending for depredations by
Indians. Some of the Senators maintained
that these claims should be paid out of
the general treasury if there was
no money left of the special fund.
......In the House the river and
harbor bill was discussed for short time.
Mr.. Turner (of Georgia), on a point of or
der, wanted the Hennepin canal clause
stricken out, claiming that it belonged to
the Committee on Railways and Canals
and had no place in the river and harbor
bill. Messrs. Henderson (of Illinois) and
Murphy argued that it came properly un-
der rivers and harbors. The speaker
pro tenn reserved his decision for some
other time. After voting down
the amendment to increase the
compensation to ocean steamship COM
panies for carrying the mails, and the
adoption of other amendments increasing
certain appropriations, the Post office bill
was passed. No other business of inn
portance was disposed of before adjourn
ment.

ANOTHER REVERSE.

General EarIe,s Force Attacked BY the
Rebels-The Latter Repulsed and Driven
at the Point of the Bayonet-They Rally,
However, and Administer q sharp Defeat
On the British-Generai Earle Among
the Killed.
LONDON, February 1.-THE War Office
has received the following information
in dispatch from General Lord Wolse-
ley:
The fortified vessel in which General
Earle's detachment was proceeding up
the Nile from Brit, reached the pass
above Dulka Island Tuesday. The enemy
appeared in great force at this point.
After causing some demoraliza-
ton among them by heavy
fire from the guns on board
General Earle and portion of his men
landed and attacked the Arabs, driving
them back at the point of the bayonet,
carrying the pass without the expendi-
ture of ammunition. This course was
adopted in order to save the supply OF
cartridges, which had become greatly
reduced. The enemy, embold-
ened by their comparatively slight
loss in the conflict, rallied and made a
fierce onslaught upon the English, firing
with remarkable precision. They re-
pulsed the troops with heavy loss, and
captured the floating fort. General
Earle was killed while gall ntly leading
charge. Three other officers were
killed and four wounded. Eight of the
men were killed and thirty-tive wounded.
The eneIny's loss was considerable.
THE LONDON PRESS IN MOURNING.
LONDON, February 11.-All the morn
ing papers have their columns bordered
with black, as a token of the grief which
is universally felt over Gordon's fate.
Some papers confine the mourning en-
blems to the editorial page, but in most
of them the column rules are reversed on
all the pages. The Ne,cs says: ssThe age
of chivalry was revived again in Gordon's
history, and the whole world thrills with
passionate grief at this Christian war
rior's death.'' The Standard alone re-
fuses to believe Gordon dead, and clings
to the shadow of a hope that he may be
prisoner or may have escaped to the
South.
