FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
A Fly-wheel Ilnrnin, Tearing an Engineer to
llece-Terrllle Force Exerted.
The 8axony flour mills in St. Louis were the
Bcene of a very shocking accident on Tuesday
last. The Jlcpublican of the 15th says There
were only a few men in the building;, it being
dinner time and the machinery was running
light, as there was not much doing in the mill.
Henry Deitricb, the assistant engineer, was in
charge, and was considered an experienced and
carelul man. About the time mentioned he was
engaged in carrying out cinders, and during his
absence on one of his trips the belt controlling
the "governor" either broke or slipped off.
There was a heavy pressure of steam in the
boiler, about 115 or 120 pounds, and the full
force was immediately transferred to the cylin
der. In a moment the increased speed of the
machinery apprised Deitrich of what had oc
curred, and he hurried back towards the engine.
A little delay of Borne kind seems to have oc
curred, and by the time he reached the engine
the fly-wheel had gathered a terrific speed, and
must have been revolving somewhere about
a thousand times in a minute, while the whirl
ing rush of the great body of iron and the other
machinery shook the building. Deitrich, It is
evident, understood in a moment what had
occurred, and ran towards the small wheel con
trolling the admission of steam. In his haste,
and not thinking of the danger, he went directly
1n front of the iiy-wheel, and while quite close
the accident occurred. The immense wheel
had acquired a velocity that overcame the cohe
rency and strength of the iron, and in a mo
ment, with a terrible sound, it new into a thou
sand pieces. The force exerted by the fragments
was something surprising. One large piece of
the rim weighing thousands of pounds rushed
like a ball from a cannon through the floors of ,
the second and third stories in a curving line,
tearing the wooden joints and other timber like
paper, . and striking the front wall of the
building about the middle of the third
story. This is a brick wall of unusual thick
ness, but the iron fragments passed clean
through it, leaving an unsightly gap, and fell
thundering on the south side of the street. Some
smaller pieces of iron also passed through the
upper floors of the building, and their effects
were manifested even up to the roof. In the
direction given by the revolving motion at the
time of the bursting, some of the arms of the
wheel struck the brick floor in front; one piece
buried itself out of sight like a wedge driven in
by the hammer of Thor, and another stood with
one end sticking out as solid as if the masonry
had been built around it. To look upwards from
-i-e pluco where the fly-wheel had been enabled
oue to realize the awful force exerted. All the
floors above were shivered along the course
taken by the fragments, and the light of day
streamed in through the jagged rent in the walls.
The assistant engineer, Dietrich, was instantly
killed, but no other man was hurt in the building.
TUE WAGES OF SIX.
A Buralnr Phot and Killed While Attempting
to Break into a Hohmc.
Early this morning a man met his death at the
hands of another whom he attempted to rob,
and was sent into another world while in the
commission of an act condemned in this by
moral and divine law. The particulars of this
case are as follows: Between 3 and 4 o'clock
this morning Mr. A. S. Knlsely, who resides at
No. 514 West Twalfth street, was awakened
from his slumbers by a noise proceeding from
the direction of the piazza. His bed-room is on
the first floor, and the windows of the chamber
rua down to the piazza. Feeling confident that
the noise was occasioned by the efforts of some
person to break into the house, Mr. Knlsely
quietly armed himself with a revolver,
awakened his wife and child, whom he placed
in an adjoining apartment, and then, with
weapon in hand, took his post to await develop
ments. It was a burglar, who was without on
the piazza, and he was steadily proceeding with
the work unconscious .of the watcher
within, who was ebon to summon him to his
fate. The worker without had cut away the
lower portion of the blind which protects the
windpw, and was about to proceed with the
removal of a pane of glass, and thereby gain
admittance, when Knlsely fired his revolver.
The shot crashed through the window-pane,
aiid with fatal accuracy struck into the house
breaker's left shoulder, and lodged, as it after
wards appeared, jirat over the heart. With a
cry of alarm and pain the wounded man
jumped from the piazza to the garden below,
and then mounting the fence which sepa
rates Mr. Kuisely's from the adjoining
place, precipitated himself into the grass on the
other side, where he now lies a corpse. Hn ex ¬
pired almost immediately alter jumping the
fence. It was found that the man who was so
suddenly cut off in the performance of his un
lawful deed had removed his boots before enter
ing on the plazza.as he was in his stocking feet.
and his boots were found below. It was also
ascertained that he had in his hand a single
barrelled revolver, which was found cocked, also
a pair of nippers, such as are used by persons of
his profession. The fact of having his weapon
ready for instantaneous use shows the character
of the man, and if Mr. Knisely's presence had
been known te him before he was made ac
quainted with it finally and fatally, the result
might have been different, for the fellow would
surely have used his pistol, and it would have
only been a question of steadiness of aim whether
it would have been fatally used Chicago P st.
THE RED STOCKINGS.
How the Detent waa Taken at Home Te
nrai t.aino i.oai uai ui nu.
The Cincinnati Timet of Wednesday says:
lhe proud red-le treed lnvincibles, the pets and
pride of the Queen City, have been overthrown.
and thousands of strowg men have turned their
laces to the wall and taken a "snifter" that they
migut near tne infliction with a proper degree
of stoicism. Spirits, not tears, understood.
No event since the sanguinarr conflicts of the
war has excited the population hereabouts as
tne game or uuse-oau played yesterday. Jlua
dreds.of enthusiastic urchins, merchants, bank'
ers, clerks, 'Sa ngerfesters,'' draymen, and lay
men were gathered about the Timet bulletin
board, and as the innings were flashed oyer the
wires and found their way to the eyes of the
mighty throng, there was delineated on the
many faces hope mixed with anxiety. Nine
innlnsrs daved and the score 5 to 5. "Will the
Keels beat ?" was asked, and "Will the Reds
beat ?" was echoed around and about, in and
through the vast crowd. The tenth, inning
came, a"d the 0 for each still left the intensity
of feeling unrelieved.
-C'at'i o'i liwau j a," tail one. "ilujt 3e
this through." Working men returning to their
hemes augmented the assembly, but no loud
demonstration was audible. It seemed to be
felt that the Beds were to succumb, and when,
in a few moments afterward, the bulletin an
nounced the eleventh inning 2 to 3 in favor of
the Atlantics the first exclamation heard was,
"That's what I tola you!"
The Red Stockings, up to yesterday, had
played 110 games without meeting with a
defeat.
THE "LOTHAIU" DISPUTE.
letter from Professor tloldwln Smith.
To the Editor of the Cornell Era.
Sir: I have sent for puolication elsewhere a letter
which I have addressed to Mr. Disraeli, respecting
a passage affecting my character in his 'Lotlinir.-'
If I were in my own country, I should not think It
necessary to say anything more. But as 1 am a
stranger here, 1 will, with jour permission, address
a few words of further explanation to the colleagues
and friends on whose good opinion and conilduuce
my usefulness and happiness in this country must
depend.
Mr. Disraeli has been foiled, as such tacticians
always will be foiled, In spite of their most laborious
artifices, In any country where any vestige of moral
force remains. He is angry, and he pours out his
anger on all who were in any way Instrumental in
his defeat. Probably It was to give vent to his feel
ings as much as to raise the "No Popery'' cry on
which he hopes to ride back into power, that he
wrote "Lothair."
A good deal of what he said about me is mere
abuse which deserves no notfee. JSut the sting or
the attack lies in two Imputations that of having
been "a social parasite" In my own country and that
of having schemes here, to facilitate whlcli I am
represented as paying insidious attentions to Ameri
can visitors at Oxford.
The first Imputation I can hardly discuss with pa
tience. Politically, I stood with my friends in direct
opposition to the party of the aristocracy. Socially,
my relation to that class would be more accurately
described as ostracism than parasitism ; at least If I
did not lose old friends in the class, I did not put
myself in the way of making any new ones. A cry
has or late gone forth that some of the young Tory
nobility were turning Liberal ; and as this aillictiug
phenomenon could not be supposed to be spon
taneous, it has been ascribed, both in prose and -verse,
to my sinister Influence. Upon this, it
seems Mr. Disraelis imagination nas bunt
the further charge of practising the arts of
a social parasite. But the foundation as
well as the superstructure is a tlctlon. f
can truly say that 1 never attempted to
proselytize any young man, nobleman or commoner,
at Oxford or elsewhere. The Oxford Tories had -an
organization, which was countenanced, if the party
organs spoke the truth, by Mr. Disraeli, for the pur
pose of enlisting young men In the party. Uut -1
always discountenanced any movement or the kind
on the Liberal side. I always held it an untuauly
and unchlvalrous thing to entangle a young man iu
party trammels, when he could not have had a fair
opportunity or forming his opinions and deciding for
himself. 1 always said and acted on the conviction
that it was better for the Liberal cause itself that a
man should bo a Tory of his own making than a
Liberal of mine. If, therefore, humanity has round
its way through the barriers or caste aui privilege
to the heart or any young English nobleman, oa
general influences, not on my lnttigues, must rest
the blame.
ir I have any schemes in America, I believe it will
be allowed that they have been pretty well con
cealed. My tenure or tne reuowsnip wnicn con
nected me with the University or Oxford, was, by
the roles of my college, at an ena. jjeun nan ter
minated my domestic duties. The political contro
versies in which I had happened to be engaged that
relating to the American conflict and that relating
to the reform of Parliament had been settled.
The victory of the Liberals in the general election
was assured, i count not nave anoraea a seat iu
Parliament it I had desired It; and I did not want
to pass my days in political agitation. Mr powers
of work were the worse lor wear, but still 1
f tit that I had work left in me. I determined
to (carry into effect a plan which I had formed
long before, but the execution of which had been
suspended by Academical and domestic duty, or re
visiting America; and I was thinking or settling at
Providence, where 1 should have had some special
facilities ror ine study oi rsew .ngianu History,
when President White offered me a professorship In
Cornell, and I accepted what seemed a congenial
position connecieu wiiu aa uujuct ui spucim i merest,
to one who political life had been peculiarly allied
with the working class. The place in which I have
settled is scarcely one wnicn a scnemer woum
select. I frankly avow my social preference
for American Equality over English Privi
lege and Plutocracy; but I hope I have
never shown a want of loyalty to my native land.
I did not hesitate when I thought she was traduced
to incur in her defense the anger of the American
public, on whose favor my schemes. If I had any,
would be based. Any attentions whicn I paid to
Americans visiting Oxford were the natural return
for the hospitality which I had experienced here; no
generous or candid mind would have put any otlier
construction on them.
I trust this is the last occasion on which my lite
rary life at Ithaca and the quiet performance or my
duty to the University will be disturbed by any re
currence or the political controversies which I have
so gladly left behind. Yours, faithfully,
June 8, 1810. Gjldwin Smith.
LIFE INSURANCE CASE.
Suit by a Widow Queer Teatlmony Verdict
for 1'latntia.
Says the Washington Star of last evening:
An insurance case came before Justice Plant
yesterday, the circumstances of which are as
follows: Mrs. Catherine Roth some time ago
sued Mr. A. . L. Keese, the local agent in this
city for the Peoria (Illinois) Benevolent and
Mutual Insurance Compouy, for a considerable
amount of insurance on her husband's life.
Mr. Ferdinand Roth, the husband, died last
February, from injuries sustained in getting
thrown out of a wagon. Mrs. Roth produces the
proper evidence of her husband's death, together
with the physician's certificate.
The defense put in the plea that Mr. Roth's
death was caused by intemperance and immoral
hubits, which, they claim, annuls the policy,
and they bring as a witness to sustain this plea
an individual who calls himself Augustus F.
Hartke, and who claims to be a "general agent
to travel everywhere for the company." This
man's evidence is to the effect that subsequent
to the death of Mr. Roth he called upon Mrs.
Roth, who stated to him that her husband's
death was caused by his vicious habits, and that
cue made many otner statements in disparage
naent of Mr. Roth.
Complainant denies this, and says that this
man, who was a total stranger to her, called to
see her after her husband's death, and stated
that be was a very intimate friend of her bus
band and condoled with her, expressing the hope
that his life was insured, etc., etc.; that he did
not disclose to her bis connection with the Peo
ria Insurance Company, and further that by his
impertinent and iuquisitlve manner he dually
excltea tier suspicions mat ne was an impostor,
and that she has not seen him since until the
cresent time.
The case haft been pending for some time, and
Iudgment was given some weeks ago by Justice
'lunt for plaintiff, but at the solicitation of Mr.
Keese the case was reopened In order to give him
an opportunity "to set himself right with the
company" as he stated, and yesterday another
postponement was asked by Mr. Keese, but re
futed bv the magistrate, and judgment given for
plaintiff.
TERRIFIC TORNADO.
Oops Destroyed Houses Kiowa Down, Treea
Uprooted, tic.
A terrific tornado passed over a portion of
Arkansas and Mississippi on Friday last, doing
immense damaee to the crops along us path,
and it Is believed utterly ruining the cotton. It
rose, as near as can be ascertained, in the vici
nity of Council Bend, Ark., and passed down to
Peter's Landing, crossing the Mississippi at that
point, and striking Mississippi at or near
Mhoon's Landing, from which it passed down to
the head of Beaver Dam, and thence down into
Bolivar county, it not beyond, sweeping cabins,
fences, trees, etc., and causing, it is appre
hended, some loss of life. It partook of wind.
rain, and hail, which came down with terrible
furv. The rath of the storm was about two
miles in width. The crops had been almost
unusually promising, but are now- blact and
' prostrate. lue tornado was repeated on
, fcuiurtla), faitiii u;arlj over theco'u-se of the
day previous, addingcrcatly to the Immense dam
age already done. The hailstones which fell on
Friday were large and round, one of them
weighing four ounces. The stones which came
down on the Becond day were jagged, as devoid
of form as crabs, and therefore more Injurious.
So violent a storm has never been experienced
in the section through which it passed. The
damnge is incalculable, and so far as the cotton
is concerned, at least is irreparable. Immense
trees were uprooted. Further particulars ef the
calamity are awaited with anxiety.

lioDne to hlit K ere nt Epistle What itlr. Lin
coln Thought of Him.
Fort Lkavenwortit, KansaO
June 12, 1370.
To the Editor of the Evening Telegraph:
I 1 ave just read a letter from J. Bankhcai Ma
gruder, copied from your paper into the Army and
Xary Journal of the 4th lust., and I feci constratned,
in the interest of truth an J justice, to say that 1 have
good reason for believing that Mr. Magrudcr is in
error in regard to what , did actually take place
between the President and himself about the time
he resigned from the army.
Moreover, I have every reason to believe that the
remarks which he attributes to Senator Cameron
are, in all essential particulars, substantially cor
rect, viz. ;
"lie escorted the President to the White House,
and 1 heard him say, to the President that he ad
mired him and was going to stand by him during the
war. lie said that the evening before he went
away."
During the summer of 19C2, 1 commanded the de
fenses of Washington and had almost daily inter
course with the President, who was kind enough to
enter into familiar conversation with me on many
occasions which I shall always remember with
pleasure and pride.
On one occasion, at the request of the officers of
the 71st New York Volunteers (which constituted a
part of my command), the President reviewed that
regiment in its camp near Tenallytown. After tne
review we rode back together toward Washington,
until we reached the road diverging toward the
"Soldiers; Home" (where the President was then
temporarily residing), and there we separated.
During that ride, our conversation being of a
casual character, something was said which called
up in the mind of the President the conduct of
Colonel Magruder at the time or his resignation
lrom the servlco, and he said: "Sturgls" (It wits no
unusual thing for Mr. Lincoln to adopt this familiar
style), "I cannot call to mind now any single event
of my administration that gave me so much pain or
wounded me so deeply as the singular conduct of
Colonel Magruder on the very night before he aban
doned us."
I said, "Why so, Mr. President?"
Mr. Lincoln replied, "Because he came to see me
the very evening before he left, and voluntarily said,
while expressing his abhorrence or secession, 'Sir, I
was brought up and educated under the glorious
old flag; I have lived under it and have fought
under it, and, sir, with the help of God, I shall fight
nnder it again, and, if need be, shall die under it !'
"The very next day," the President continued,
Magiuder abandoned us! So tnat at the very
moment he was making to me these protestations or
loyalty and devotion, be must have had his mind
fully made up to leave! And it seemed the more
wanton and cruel in him because he knew that f
had implicit confidence in his integrity The fact is,
when I learned that he had gone over to the enemy,
and I had been so completely deceived in htm, my
confidence was shaken in everybody, and I hardly
knew whom to trust any more !"
As Mr. Lincoln said this an expression of deep
orrow pervaded his features, and for some time he
rode along' in silence, as ttioTrgTmrraTrie or unwilling
to give further vent to the painful feelings Induced
by the mere remembrance of what appeared to him
an act of base ingratitude.
Now, Mr. Editor, I have taken pains to give you
not only substantially what Mr. Lincoln said on tnat
occasion, but, as nearly as I can recall them, his
exact words. And I Lave done so with reluctance;
because, as a general thjng, I am disposed to let
those officers who elected to cast their fortunes
with the Rebellion have the full benefit of whatever
explanation they may choose to offer in justification
or extenuation of their course. Bnt as Mr. Ma
gruder's letter places the conduct of the Presldont
(when we consider the important and momentous
issues with which he was then grappling) in a trifling
and flippant light before the country, I do not feel
authorized In withholding my testimony while so
much wrong is being heaped upon the memory of so
great and so good a man.
1 am, sir, very respectfully yours,
S. D. Stcrgis,
Colonel 7th Cavalry,

1863, and carried off and destroyed property to the
value of 81788-81, leaving but a few articles In tne

was once tried, and the plaintiff nonsuited on the
ground that he was negligent in having failed to
notify the Mayor or Sheriff of the threatened attack
on his property, as required by statute. From this
an appeal was taken to the General Term, where
the Judgment was set aside on the ground that
there was evidence in the case which should have
been submitted to the jury on the question of
plaintlirs negligence under tne circumstances.
The testimony was identical with ttiat
given on the former trial, which was fully published
in the Time, and at the present time has no interest
for the public, beyond the statement of the facts
made above. Judge Spencer charged the jury that
it was for them to determine whether, under all the
circumstances, the plaintiff was guilty of negligence

they could do nothing to protect the plaintiff.

Mr. Cameron called up the House joint resolution

their commissions to officers who were commissioned
while in Hebel prisons, the present law dating pay from

it could be prevented. Tbe bill was taken up, and various
amendments being suvgested, the bill was laid over for a
day or two to be lurtber perfeoted.
Mr. numner moved to take up the bill tor a pension for
Mrs Lincoln.
Mr. Hdmunds objected, and said therawera nthar lull.
to grant pension, to poor widow who had not fifty or
silt) tbouaand dollars in their pockets, nor even bread to

Tli report was read.
Mr. Kdiiiunds asked the Senate to reflect before passing
the bill. There were in the country 313,1100 widows made
such by the casualties of war, each one ot whioh case was
as deserving as that ot Mrs. Lincoln. The highest pension
paid to tnetu was 3H0, and this perhaps to only half a
dozen. Many of this class were suffering yearly for the
absolute necessaries of lite.
How could Congress be justined in the faeeof publio
opinion in extending this liberality to this lady, however
worthy, and ignore a large and deserving class whose suf
ferings and wants were the direct result of the saorifloes
of tbeir husbands and sons in the Government's behalf?
At this point the morning hour expired and the Frank

On AVall street yesterday all sorts of rumors were
current m regard to ueaaames vyoouiiuu c i.iamu,
the lady brokers; but all these rumors, however,
were effectually contradicted by a negro waiter from
Deimonico's. who. having carried an extensive luneU
ti Woodhull & Clafln's offlce. anlnned that both the
ladles bad disposed of the edibles In a lUsMy satis

that Sdltba Gilbert Montez had obtained a warrant
for the arrest of Mesdamea Woodhulland Claflln for
eetalnlng some property which, ane had deposited

Messrs. Howe & Hamniell, the lect areas' lawyers.
Informed our reporter last night that the Princess
had applied to tliem a few days ago to have MaUames
Woodhull and Clanin retarn to her property worth
t00 nk h she says she bad deposited with them
for safe keeping under tne following circumstances.
Miss Montez states to her lawyers thai on thessth
of May she deposited with the lady brokers a three,
stone solitaire diamond ring, value fMm, formerly
the property of her mother, Lola Montez, and a gift
to her mother from Prince Leopold of Bavaria, to
gether with two 500 bills. This property, Miss
Montez alleges, was depositea ior Bare keeping
onlv. On the tsih instant, she alleges that she de
manded of Mrs. Woodhull her property, and she was
refused. On Hsturtlay last she again demanded ner
valuables, and was again denied their possession.
Then, in the depths of despair, she sought Howe and
Uunimel, who sued out a summons from the Su
preme Court, which was served to Mrs. Woodhull
vesterday. The summons requires the defendants
to appear within thirty day after service, and show
cause why an attachment should not Issue against

N. Y. MONEY MARKET OP YESTERDAY.
From the Hi F. ZfcraM.
"The markets were more active to-day. bnt the
amount ot business was far below the average.
Money was easy and abandant. The general rates
were tnree per cent, on uovernmenw, aud four per
cent, on stocKs. Towards the close of banking hours
balances were offered at two and three per cent., re-
BieiiiveiY, oil iub cuimicruiu iirab apuciueu.
"The lack of financial knowledge concerning the
effect of the Currency bill jnst passed by the House
Is certainly curious. Even in quarters supposed to
be oracular In such matters there was a wide differ
ence of opinion. The fact is the banks are all specu
lating In stocks and bonds, and hence they interpret
the new bill as inflation. Naturally enough the stock
cliques who are staggering under heavy loads of
stocks proclaim it Inflation.
"lhe gold market was strong In the forenoon In
answsr to tbe agitation of the Cuban question In
Congress, and the price rose to 113V. In the after
noon there was a decline to 113, when it waa an
nounced that Bingham's amendment bad been
adopted by a decisive vote. Later In the afternoon
the price became strong on the report that the
Funding bill was again postponed. The reaction
to lia had also been assisted by the lower rates for
Bterling.
"The Government list was favorably affected,
both by the advance In gold and by the Impression
that any further Issue of national bank curiency.
such as contemplated by the Uartield-Judd bill will
denude the market of bonds, while the purchase of
two millions to-day by the Government was an Im
mediate strong Influence."
