ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP A STAGE.

ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP A STAGE. l A Highwayman Kills the Guard and Disables Two Horses but Is Unsuc- cessful.
 JACKSON, Cal, June 1s.-An attempt
 was made to rob the mail stage from lone to Jackson last evening by highwayman about five miles from here.
 The stage had four passengers outside, two of whom were women. On the out side were Clinton Radcliffe, the driver, Mi chael Tovey, the guard, and one passen- ger. The robber was concealed behind the rocks on the side of the road. When the stage was opposite his place of conceal ment, the discharge of @ weapon was heard and Tovey instantly fell forward dead. The ball struck him behind the right shoulder and it is supposed to have pierced his heart.
 Six horses were attached to the stage and the crack of the rife frightened them into gallop. The robber f,ed again, and this time the ball erazed Rsdcliffe's back, producing a slight flesh wound. The horses continued to run, and the highway man fired twice more, wounding two of the an imals. The stage was carried along by the uninjured horses for 800 yards, when the driver halted and turned two of the in- jured animals into a field and came on bringing on the body of the murdered mes- senger to Jackson. The robber escaped.

The New Britain Races.

NEW BRITAIN, June 16.-Rather cool weather and a strong wind prevented fast tine and kept a large number away from the driving park this afternoon. It was & "cool" day for the betting men, as the fa- vorites in every race were beaten. The ad- mirers of Gobslin were disappointed to- day because their horse did not start, 1t being announced that he injured himself in yesterdays race. He is only three years old, and his owners are very careful of him. Fannie Prince was then selected as the winner by many, but J. l.. T. beat her out. In the 2:3S class Jennie Brown was backed for first place before the race, but after the first heat was won by Leonard the tide changed and odds were placed on him with no takers. The betting wss even on Elyrina to win in the 2:20, but she was dropped before the horses started. Long ford then became the fsvorite and large amount of money was dropped on him. After the first heat Corrins was backed by many, but the most money was made by those who took the field sgsinst Longford. In the third heat of the 2:20 class Long ford went under the wire first, but had broken four times and was put behind Mollie G. For this reason no time was given in this heat. The meeting has proved most successful one and has re- suited we'll financially for the association. The summaries:

THE PARTY AT MALvERN.-On Mon
day evening, between the hours OF s
and II, Malvern, the country residence
of Mr.. f. L. Daingerfield, was the scene
of about the gayest and %jolliest event
that has awakened the staid old Semi
nary Hill for many a long day. The
occasion was the birth day of Miss
Mary Daingerfield, and her friends
hocked from Alexandria and neighbor-
hood to give her the compliments OF
the day and to enjoy her hospitality
The trying post of hostess was never
more charmingly or successfully filled
than it was by this young lady. Out
of door games and dancing formed the
order of the day and to say that every
body enjoyed him or herselfthoroughly
would be putting it mildly. The yard
was filled with the glitter of Chinese
lanterns, the supper was a triumph CT
its kind of art, the ladies' costumes
were marvels of taste and elegance and
the merry peals of laughter attested to
the satisfaction of the guests aud the
consequent success of the entertain
ment. The ladies present were Misses
Mary Daingerfeld, Louise Burke, Lot
tie Daingerfield, Ruth Bryant, Mary
Powell, Elizabeth Worthington, Mittie
Herbert, Sadie Herbert, Hattie Taylor,
Marie Davis, Nora Herbert, Emily
Elliott, Daisy Harris, Helen Tompkins
and Maria Dawson. The young gen.
tlemen, of course, also made an i'm
portant factor, 4 large number being
present.

OFFICER ATTACKED.-About ten
O'Clock last night VIM. Price, colored,
who has given the police considerable
trouble of late, entered the colored Odd
Fellows Hall and seemed determined
not TO leave until he had broken up
the peace Of the quietly.disposed
people of his race who had
gathered there to spend the night of
the Fourth. Officer Young was re-
quested by one of the committee TO
eject Price from the building, but when
he reached the street he became SO dis
orderly that Special Officer Charles
Smith was compelled to take him in
custody. On the way to the station
house he resisted the officer, and when
about = square from the hall some one
in a gang of negroes which was follow
ing threw Il stone which struck Mr.
Smith on the shoulder. In the melee
which followed Price broke from the
officer and ran, and as he did so Mr..
Smith gave chase and fired his pistol at
him. Price however, was soon in GUS
tody again, but WIS SO m~enaeing that
he had 70 be struck on the head by the
officer several times before he conclud-
ed to accompany him. to the station
house, Mayor Strauss this morning
fined him $l5.

Row AT A PIcNIc. A number of
colored people went on an excursion
across the old canal basin yesterday,
and early in the morning, the commit
tee, anticipating trouble, applied to the
Mayor for the services Of a policeman.
They were told that the picnic grounds,
being in the county, q special police
man would have to be procured in
that jurisdiction, As apprehended by
the committee, q row did occur, during
which Wm. Banks was so %serlouaiy cut
in the breast Us to render him unfit for
appearance this morning. 1t seems
that Joseph Holland, a colored indi-
pidual, who had nourished q grqdge
against Banks, concluded that the pic
mic grounds was the proper place to
seek vengeance, and arming himself
with what was once q ease knife, but
which had been ground down. into the
shape of q dirk, it is alleged, made a
u at the object of his ire. 4 wound
about two inches wide was made al
most over Banks's heart. Special Off
Ger Silas Hall, colored, arrested Hol-
land and a companion named VIM.
Clarke and brought them to this city,
where they wore locked up. Mayor
Strauss this morning heard the evil
dence in the case and held both men
for a further hearing.

WORK PRoGREssING.-Before the
end Of August, according to the COZ
tract, the Rossyln branch of the
Washington Southern Railroad should
be completed by the contract
ors, Jute & Foley, of Pittsburg,
Pa, and turned V to the railroad
company. The grading has been COM
pleted with the exception o ftwo places.
There is q stretch of about q quarter of
a mile in length a short distance from
the Rosslyn terminus upon which men
are now working. At the Long bridge
end there remains one large hill yet to
be cut down before the embankment
reaches the edge of the marsh. There
is about three-eights of a mile of this
marshv land over which the tracks
must pass, and it is impossible to get a
good solid roadbed Ct earth. 1t will be
necessary to drive piles upon which to
lay the tracks. The piles are at hand,
awaiting the arrival Of the pile drivers,
which are expected in a short while
from Pittsburg, the contractors being
unable to secure them in Washington.
The road follows closely the bed and
the towpath of the old Alexandria
canal, and as a consequence it requires
more earth for filing i'll than there
were hills to cut away. 1t was found
necessary to build a culvert at Clusters
pond. a small body of water a mile or
SO from Rosslyn. AS soon as the grad.
ing IS completed the ties and rails will
be brought on and the work of laying
the tracks will be pushed with an ex-
ira force of men.

FOUND DEAD.-On Monday night q
young man who had been aimlessly
wandering about jackson City, at the
south end of the Long bridge, applied
to q Waterman at u of the old build
ings to be allowed to sleep there. Per-
mission was given and the young man
entered the house and took a seat in a
chair. Yesterday morning the man was
found dead, still sitting in the chair
with his head resting on his shoulder
aud holding q cigarette In his hand.
Death had evidently come painlessly
while the man was asleep. Coroner
Birch was notified and held an inquest
when it was ascertained that the mans
name was Gibson, a son of Mr.. Gibson,
a well-known Potomac river fisherman,
It is said that the young nan was ad-
dicted to the morphine habit and that q
quantity of the drug was found in his
pockets. He had evidently taken au
overdose of morphine and falling asleep
had never awakened.
