The Tracy Family.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Mrs. Benjamin
F. Tracy, the wife of Secretary of the
Navy Tracy, was in the sixtieth year of
her age. General Tracy, who was born
and brought up in Oswego. N. T., mar
ried Miss Catlin in 1854. They resided
in that place until 1865, when they
moved to Brooklyn, where their home
has since been. Three children have
blessed their union. Two are daughters
and the other a son. Mrs. Emma l..
Wilmerding, the eldest daughter,
is a widow, with one child. Mrs.
Wilmerding has resided with her
family since her husbands death,
and went with them to Washington.
Frank B. Tracy, the only son, favors
his father in appearance and in his bus
mess ability. He is thirty years old
and unmarried. He now lives at home,
and only spends in Washington what
time he can spare from his fathers bus
mess. Miss Mary Tracy, the unmar-
ried daughter one of the victims OF
the disaster, was like her mother in APP
pearance. She was very amiable and
had hosts of friends who will be horri-
fed to learn of her dreadful fate.

How Secretary Tracy Received the In
teIIigence of His Great Losss.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-President Har-
rison has just returned from the bed
side of Secretary Tracy, who he reports
resting as comfortable as can be expect
ed under the circumstances. About
eleven o'clock Mr.. Tracy recovered con-
sciousness, and asked President Harri-
son where Mrs. Tracy was. The Presi-
dent could not answer the question Mr..
Tracy evidently feeling that her escape
was impossible, said: rs she dead?"
Still the President could not answer the
question of his friend and Mr.. Tracy
apparently realizing the truth, from the
Presidents hesitancy, at once swooned
and remained unconscious for half an
hour. Recovering he asked for his
daughters The President told the Sec
retary that his daughter Mary was dead
and again Mr.. Tracy swooned. Secre-
tary Tracy's physicians say that he is
out Of danger.

A Very Bold Robbery.

A very remarkable robbery took place
at the Union Depot in Little Rock, re-
Gently, which, although the amount Of
money stolen was not large, is unparal-
leled in its audacity. DIR. John Fields,
of Denison, Tex, walked from the
sitting room of the Union Depot out to
board the south-bound cannOn-ball. Six
or eight strangers, all rough men and
dressed like cowboys, closed in around
the doctor. Fully fifty people witnessed
the performance, but did not think rob
berry was being done. One of the stran-
gers tore open the vest of DR.. Fields and
snatched from his inside pocket wallet
containing upward of $500 in currency
Notwithstanding that he gave the alarm
1T once the men escaped in the crowd.

The Cotton Worm.

Planters from all sections of the
State held convention at the State
House, Little Rock, recently, to con
slider the best means of fighting and de-
stroying the cotton-boll worm. The
convention was called to order by Col
onel r. D. Williams, Of Little Rock.
On motion of l.. B. Atkinson, of Faulk-
ner County, all the gentlemen present
were admitted as delegates, no creden-
tials being required. Prof Woodwork,
entomologist at the Industrial Univer-
sity at Fayetteville, spoke at consider
able length, explaining the ORR
gin and existence Of the cot
ton-boll worm. He alleged that
the Larvae is deposited in the earth
during the fall of the year, and after the
earth is well frozen during the winter
the egg is killed. But during extreme
ly mild winters, as the last two have
been, the safest means of preventing the
cotton-boll worm is to turn over the land
and expose it to killing frosts A series
of resolutions were adopted urging the
farmers to turn over the soil this winter
as many times as possible, exposing 1T
to all the killing frosts with which this
part of the country may be favored.
Resolutions were also adopted urging
Congress to make such appropriations
as NAV be deemed necessary to defray
expenses OF the investigation Of both the
boil and the cotton-worm, 20 be made
supplemental to the report already pub
lished by Prof Riley.

New York Evening Post
The EUening Post charges that Matthew
8. QUAY, United St4tes senator from Penn.
sylvania, stole &260,6O0 from the state
treasury OF Pennsylvania, and lost It in
gambling; that In his despair he contem-
plated suicide aud made oonfldant OF
"Chris" Magee, now, as then, prominent
Republican politician OF PittsbuIg; that he
was saved through the intervention of Don
Cameron, United States senator from Psun-
sylvanla, and Republican, who advanced
the necessary money; and that this was
done through the medium of Wayne Mac
Veagh, q prominent lawyer Of PhiladAlphia,
and x.attorney-genural OF the Ulitsd
States under a Republican President. These
and other charges against Quay were pub
lished In the Evening Post on the 18th OF
April, and have since been reprinted 10 a
pamphlet, which is now on sale at our
countlng room, price five cents per copy.
Since the Foundation OF the Federal gov
ernrnent there has never been a case wuere
public Journal brought so serious und 80
explicit accusations of criminal conduct
against United States senator-charges
which, II false, would entitle the victim to
the heaviest damages ever awarded in any
libel suit; charges, moreover, which, II
false, could be easily, Immediately, and
copcusively shown to be false by the testt-
mony Of three well. known men OF his own
party-senator Cameron, ex-Attorney.g gen.
eral MaeVeagh, and "Uhris" Magee.

time since the unhappy episode of Sat-
urday permitted him to make q thor
oughly deliberate and dispassionste
statement. As tho chairman of the con-
mittee had admitted certain letter on
the ground that O private citizen when
assaulted in this hall bsd right to be
heard in in his own defence; and as that
was undoubtedly correct theory he
would endeavor TO give plain history OF
the whole transaction.
He then presented the facts relative TO
Mr.. Campbell's appearance before the
ways and means committee, his statement
that Messrs. Bynum and Wilson lad said
that $15 a month was good wages for
workingmen, the refutatiop OF that state
ment. the reiteration of it in the forn of
an affidavit and the published denial OF
the trnth OF the aft iayit. In conclusion
he said that in view OF the courteous re-
lations which had heretofore existed be-
tween the gentleman from PennByigania
(Bayne) AND himself he would give that
gentleman an opportunity to say whether
he personally endorsed the language of
Campbell as referring TO him MIR. Wilson,.
Mr.. Bayne ibereupon arose and in a
frank and manly way stated that when
he presented the letter he knew nothing
about the affidavit which he felt snre
grew out of misunderstanding between
Mr.. Campbell and the gentlemen from
Indiana and West Virginia. (Mr. Bynum
and Mr.. Wilson, No one could regret
more than he did that this bad taken
place. Nj. Wilson said that after this
statement he did not feel TINT it was
necessary for him 10 push this matter any
longer. Both Mr.. Wilson and Mr. Bsyne
were calm and dispassionAte in theis
language and manner; and the members
of the House wers pleased that the scenes
on Saturday were not re-enactsd.
