follows:
"I am mad, and don't waat to live. I was o hsopy
feat week, but Helnr'ch says now he wont make me
b s wile. Good-br. Tell mother I was miserable,
and couldn't help it. Maxt."
This note told the whole tale, and search was
at once instituted for her, but with no avail up
to Saturday evening, when some men discovered
a dress and crinoline lying on the banks of the
Kinnickinnick river. The river was dragored
and ber body was found. She had tied several
stones tn ber clothing to prevent herself from
rising to the surface. The poor unfortunate,
ho bad thus fallen a victim to the perfidy of a
lover, is said to have been a warm-hearted.
Intelligent, and industrious eirl, always ready
to help others in anything. Her life had been
unexceptionable, and she had made many
friends even in social circles higher than the
one In which she belonged.

President's Message Completed and to
be Mailed to the Pre To-dar, Ktc.
Washington, November 26. Members of
Congress are coming in slowly, and with their
arrival speculation Is becoming rile upon the
course of action Congress will adopt in relation
to the question as to whether an edort shall bo
made to eitect a reconciliation with tne Presi
dent, or an httcmpt be made to impeach him.
The idea of preferring articles of impeachment
asainst tbe President, although pcrsevcrlngly
discussed, is generally regarded by leading men
here of all parties, as wholly Inadvisable, if at
a 1 praclicahie, and it is thought that tbe pro
position will not be even seriously entertained,
much less be supported, by a score of members
of tbe House of Representatives.
It is understood that bills will bo Introduced
at tbe comlLg session of Congress to abridge the
pardoning power of the Executive, so lar as to
wit luii aw irom him the authority to pvrdon any
but those wbo have been tried and con
victed. It is also said that a bill will be pre
sented removing from the President the autbo--rity
to appoint the Superintendent of Public
Printing.

REPORTED CAUSE OF THE EXCITEMENT IN FINAN
CIAL CIRCLES.
An able financier who has access to Infbrma
tiod in the United States Treasury here, states
that the present pressure in the money market
mid the downward tendency of prices are owing
to the demand of the Secretary of the Treasury
upon the national bants tor tne Uuvernruent
funds on deposit During the past few months
Ibe national banks have made large loans oa
call to operators in the Eastern cities and other
manufacturinc and commercial centres. Wnen
the Secretary drew on the national banks and
authorized depositaries for the funds deposited
with them by collectors of internal revenue
tax, the banks were obliged to call in the loans
made to operators, who, having the money tied
up in large stocks of goods, were in turn forced
to push the goods upon an unwilling market
The banks, however, succeeded in honoring the
drafts of the Government by being permitted, in
some instances, when tt was necessary, tosattsly
these drafts partially with compound-interest
notes. The announcement is now made that the
Government has ceased drawing on its balances
in the national banks lor the present, although
nothing is indicated as to how long the absti
nence will be continued. X. T. Herald.

account of tbe shower at Greenwich. The same

exploded bv accounts In the journals ot that

The London 77mes, of a date anterior to the
shower, also contains letters from the astrono

Loomls had better try hU hand asraln at pro

to disbelieve a fact which one does not want to

PESTIICCTIOTI OF A FEHRV-DOAT.
Exciting Scenes-Narrow Kscap of the

They are All Rescued, Etc.
At tilteen minutes past seven last evening, as
the feirj-boat ldoho, of the Brooklyn Ferry
Company, was leaving the elto, foot of Soutn
.seventh street, E. D., lor New York, flames sud
denly burbt forth frou the centre house, from
some cause at present unknown, and the mo-it
learlnl excitement immediately pervaded thi
crew and paesengers on board, and with good
reason, as they spread with tearful rapidity.
Fortunately, there were only about thirty pas
songers on board at the time, or the loss of lite
would, doubtless, Dave oeen teariui. as it was,
those en board were rescued with great dim-
cult .

when tne ore nroae out on ooara iue auaiu, nuu
her pilot promptly ran her alongside the burn
ing boat, and took off her passengers. Ibis was
done araiast tne unuo exeitemeut auu unuirer.
Indeed, the flames spread so rapidly on board
the Idaho, that the officers of the Vanada were
apprehensive of being engulfed in them, and
drew oil, leaving several prisons iv weir iawj.
Thote left on the burnlug boat were Michael
Cormick, oi No. 96 Fourth street; Mrs. Mary
Word, of No. 49 Bedford street, New York;
James O'Neil, engineer;, James Kelly, deck
hand; and Mrs. Pauline iMrfcr, ot Bergen, New
Jerev. These imperilled persons acted most
neioicauy, am ioobcu tiumu iu iuc iuva wuu
tbe composure of martyrs. Engineer O'Neil,
seeing no possibility of saving the boat, gather
inn those on board about him, stated succinctly
the situation, and pointed out the only meausot
safety, which was Dy lumping imo me river,
with the possibility of being rescued by several
boats then iu the vicinity.
A glance was sufficient to convince all that
this was tbe only means of escape from hor
rible death, and, loinlng bands, they took the
tearful leap. O'Ncil's heroism on this occasion
deserves immortality. In his efforts to save lite
be was severely burned about tbe face and
hands. By his herculean ana nome eiiortsino.e

in tniall boats rescued those who jumped over
board, and they received prompt attention by
tbe citizens when brought on shore.
Alter the burning Doat was aoanaoneu, sne
drilled up lie river towards Grecnpoint, and was
lollowed Dy other boats belonging to tbe Com

guish the flames, and the Idaho drilted to Green
ooint burned to the water's edee, and sunk. Her
value was about $GO,000, and it is said that there
ws no insurance upon her.
During the fire, a man named James Tnrley,

Third and Lewis streets, went to see the sight,
and stumbled over a log on the South Fourta
street pier, breaking his lee. He was conveyed

dererA Largo Reward for
His Apprehension.
(&PICIaL despatch to tbe evening telegraph.
F renchtown, Pa., November 27. We have to
record another murder, that has occurred within
tbe last few days. James Wjlie, the Captain of
a c inal-boat, was murdered on last Saturday
afu moon, near this place. Tbe supposed mur
den r is a man named Devlin, a professional
bore-thief.
I appears that the murderer went aboard
Cui'tain Wylie's boat, and shot him dead, and
then escaped, since which time he has not been
hf'Drd of. A description of the supposed mur
derer has been furnished to the police authori
ties He is a man apparently about SO years of
ape, 6 feet 10 inches in height, heavily built,
ha a fast rgatt in walking, is stoop-shouldered.
Hi is ol a dark complexion, no w hiskers, and
ha dark hair.
For some days past the police have been in
search of the supposed murderer, on the charge
of Mealing a lot of moles from a German named
Metzgar. It is supposed that the aaurdered cap
tain interfered with some of Devlin's horse
stt fillng operations, and hence the murder. A
reward of $500 has been offered for his arrest.

Washington, November 24.
Position of the President KflTorte at
Compromise. Kte.
Despite tbe denials made. It is oertain that an
effort is beiug made by influential politicians of
both paities to effect a compromise between the
Executive and Legislative branches of the Gov
ernment on tbe basis of impartial suffrage. . The
President shows a disposition to adopt this mode
of settlement rather than by the Constitutional
amendment, aeainot whteh ho has so unquali
fiedly committed himself.
Senator gprague and Lady.
Letters received here state that Senator
gprague and family were at Geneva, Bwiterland,
on tbo 23d nit. The same letter states that
General McClcllan and wile had been stopping
for two months at the Maritz Iron Mpnag and
Water Cure Establishment, Switzerland. Mrs.

take long walks. General Meridian, who 1
get tins stout, appeared studiously to eschew all
talk on American politics.

"Money is decidedly easier, to stock houses, and
6 per cent, is readily accepted. The wants of
stock bouses are much reduced, and as nsnal in
disturbed times, call loans have a decide! pre
ference over long engagements. In mercantile
paper no change. Long bills are not in favor.
and bi7 per cent, is the rate for best short
