A Case Which Will be Investigated by
Commissioner Douglass.

There was q disturbance at the almshouse
this morning about 10 o'clock in the female
ward. The first room in the second passage
has been occupied for some time by Mrs. Craig,
a very old woman, and her daughter, Gorilla
Craig. The two got along very well together
until Superintendent Stoutenburgh put French
woman in with them. This morning it seems
the French woman waxed warm and pitched
into the old woman about the ownership of
some flowers. The daughter interfered and
general fight ensued. in which the French
woman came off victor. The victory was short
lived, however, for the mother and daughter
opened fulisade with dust pans, pitchers.
saucers, &C., upon the irate French woman and
drove her from the room. She sought shelter
under the wing Of Superintendent StOutenburgh
and wife. and the trio returned and put the old
woman and her daughter in the street. This
morning the daughter called on Commissioner
Douglass and laid her complaint before him.
She says that both the superintendent and his
wife looked strange, and that she thinks they
were under the influence of something for they
Immediately turned her mother and herself out
without even questioning them as to who COM
menced the fuss. Commissioner Douglass sent
for Mr.. Stoutenburgh and will investigate the
matter.

Not an Accident to Mr. Clevelan,

Not an Accident to Mr.. Cleveland.
New Bedford special to the New York
Tribune says there is no truth in the story that
ex-President Cleveland and Joseph jefferson
were thrown from carriage yesterday. R. W..
Glider gives the following account Of the visit
to Jefferson: On Monday Mr.. Cleveland and
R. W. Glider left Marion to visit Joseph Jeffer-
son at Buzzsrd's bay. That day the party went
fishing at Whites pond, few miles from JEFF
Persons farm. On Tuesday the party fished
in Mr.. Jefferson's trout stream, when Mr..
Cleveland caught about forty fish. On Wednes-
day they went over to Mr.. Chamberlain's to
fish, and while Mr.. Cleveland and Mr. Jeffer-
sons two sons were out riding in the afternoon
one OF the horses had the blind staggers, and
the party stepped from the team while the
driver remained. The horses became unman-
ageble and ran over a stone wall, smashing the
wagon and scratching the horses, but the driver
escaped injury. The party returned to Mr.
Jefferson's house and later to Marion. No one
was hurt.

The Schuylkill river, Philadelphia, over

thrown from his buggy. The hat was
identified BY members OF MIR. Ditman's
family who regard the finding of il as
conclusive evidence that the body of the
missing man is ut the bottom of the river.
A. j Ditman aud L. Il. Buckley, as has
been theis custom since their relatives

OF the river yesterday week. intefto-
