Correspondence Of The EVENING STAR:
EDWARDS FERRY, MONTGOMERY Co., Nd,
August 21st.
Yesterday Miss Ella Davis daughter of Mr..
Joshua Davis, Of West Washington, escaped
drowning here almost by miracle. Miss Davis
and her sister are visiting friends here and
have spent much time In boating In the canal
Yesterday Miss Ella, who Is about II years Of
eye. was IN bout with two small boys padding
capsized and all of its Occupants were thrown
In the water The two boys managed TO cling
to the boat, but Miss Davis failed to reach It
amer having risen 70 the surface for the third
time aud then sunk. As soon al the accident
happened the boys screamed for assistance.
Mr.. Nathan White happened 70 be lying sick
abed In his house near by. Ordinarily he would
have been at work on distant part OF his farm.
Hearing the cries Of the boys he ran TO the
canal not even stopping to dress, and, diving,
found the girl lying limp and apparently life
less at the bottom and brought her up. With
the aid Of restoratives she was revived and Il
now making the best Of her vacation.

The Reported Unpleasantness Between
the President and Mr.. Tilden.


the President and Mr.. Tildeu.
THE STORY NOT CREDITED IN WASHINGTON.
The story coming from New York about an
alleged rupture between the administration
and Mr.. Tilden is much talked about in the
city to-day. There is no one here who can
speak authoritatively on the subject, and the
story is not generally believed. The opinion is
expressed In official circles that, however dis
pleased Mr. Tilden might be with the New York
appointments, he would not make war
upon the administration, and certainly would
not snub secretary Manning. There is some
doubt about Ttlden's having named
anybody for the collectOrship and
surveyorship of New York, but If be is disap-
pointed In the appointments made, there are
many more important things that would tend
The general policy of retrenchment and reform
is in accordance with his views, and the posi-
ton OF the Treasury upon financial questions is
believed to be in his line. A gentleman who
has always been close to Mr.. Tilden, but refuses
to be quoted by NAME discredits the story, and
says that he would never treat Mr.. Manning in
the manner he is alleged to have, even Ii he Is
not pleased with the President.
Assistant Secretary Falrchild, Judge McCue
and other New York officials, have never heard
anything to suggest bad blood between the
Greystone sage and the administration.

KEE SERIOUSLY WOUNDED.
MILWAUKEE, WIS, August 22.-The South
Side last evening was thrown into excitement
over the explosion of an Internal machine
John Malceski, aged so, well known as one of
the early residents OF the city, picked up In his
trivance, resembling two balls about the size Of
billiard balls fastened In an oblong frame. In
handling the mysterious article IL exploded,
blowing off the old mans right thumb and two
fingers from each hand. Although q careful
search was made not q particle of the missing
members of the Internal coptrfvance could be
found, and owing to the fright and injury re-
ceived by the explosion the old gentleman is
unable to give very clear description of the
machine. He is not known to have had an en-
envy, and how the contrivance came in his
yard, what the object could have been in plac-
Ing 1t there, or what was its construction, re
been seen in the neighbOrhood during the after
noon acting in a strangely odd manner, and the
sible for the machines presence on Malceskis
premises.
