A " Friend of the Soldiers" writes te
us a brief communication, in which he
states that our complimentary notice of
the military services and sufferings of
Majer Elwood Griest, published a few
days age, about covers the ground, se
far as the major is concerned ; but sug-
gests that in our zeal te secure the major
a pension of thirteen cents per month,
we have overlooked some ether equally
deserving veterans, among whom there
are few, if any, mere worthy than Al
derman J. K. Barr, who has recently
made application under the arrears of
pensions act. Squire Barr, before he was
out of his teens, entered the service of
his country as a private soldier of Com
pany B, 79th Beg't. Pa. -Volunteers.
True, he never carried a musket, or rifle
or sword, or any ether deadly weapon,
but as a quill-driver and ink-slinger he
was hard te beat. He was therefore de
tailed te the responsible and dangerous
position of colonel's clerk responsible
because he was in a manner the colonel's
private mouth-piece, as the adjutant was
his official mouth-piece ; and dangerous
because the colonel might have taken bis
" ear off," a punishment which was often
threatened te negligent or refractory
soldiers, in these days. The dismember
ment, however, did net take place, and
Private Barr f ulfllled his difficult func
tions te the end of the war. He essayed
promotion en divers occasions, but his
claims were somehow overlooked.
Se well did soldiering appear te agree
witii him, that when the cruel war was
ever he returned te civil life a broad bread
breasted man, instead of the puny boy he
was when be enlisted. He entered poli
tics at once as " a Stalwart of the Stal
warts," never forgetting his party, but
at the same time keeping a sharp look
out for Ne. 1. (Ne allusion te the cotton
mill). He was a boss in the G. A. R.
en all festive occasions and parades,
marching with the tread of a conqueror.
He was for years a boss of the American
fire company. He was en mere than one
occasion champion of the Republican
Prize King, and in many a fierce contest
carried off the belt. At a primary elec
tion he was a match for Levi Sensenig,
Heggy Leenard, or Jake Price, and that
is saying a great deal. His deserts have
been acknowledged and rewarded by
heaping upon him the highest honors
that his Pest or his fire .company can
bestow. He has been for many years,
and is new, clerk of select council and
of the best paying committees, and after
a most vigorous campaign, a few years
age, he succeeded in securing the office
of alderman of the Third ward. Here
his labor has been indefatigable, his gen
ius has shone resplendent and his sue.
cess has been phenomenal. He has left
far behind him the best record of his
illustrious predecessor. In the single
matter of dismissed cases he stands
abreast the veterans of the new school
of aldermen. It is mere than hinted
that his great achievements in this de
partment of justice have reached the
ears of the county auditors,and that that
conservative body of statisticians is con
sidering the propriety of giving him a lift.
Many ether instances of Alderman
Barra moral, mental and physical stal
wartism might be mentioned, but the
above will suffice te show that te all out
ward appearance he is and has been a
man among men. But, alas ! appear
ances are deceptive ! Behind his fine
physique, his martial tread and his
ready and rapid hand lurk the seeds of a
dreadful disease contracted by him
while in the service of his country!
He has discovered that he has the
rheumatism ( " rumatiz," as some old
women spell it,) and that he must
have caught it in the army and
unconsciously carried it about with him
ever since ! The whispered hints of
copperheads and McMellen Republicans
that the squire may be experiencing the
premonitory twinges of gout, produced
by a tee free indulgence of aldermanic
terrapin andrether solid and fiuid delica
cies, are unmanly and should receive no
credence. He knew better, and very
properly applied for a pension en the
ground of " rumatiz," a subtle'ailment
difficult of diognesis. The examining
physicians, we are told, didn't knew
what te de about it, but finally concluded
that the disease might be ameliorated by
recommending a pension of $4.00 per
month. The pension commissioner will
probably, as is usual with him, rub out
a nully and grant a pension of -40 cents.
This will be better than nothing, and
should the arrears of the past seventeen
years be secured, the amount will be
$81.60 about half as much as the alder
man pulls in monthly for dismissed cases
alone.
" Leaving aside a few of the earlier
verses that are popular rather for their
sentiment than their poetry, and a few
that are merely re echoes of the German,"
the Philadelphia Times prints what seem
te It te " represent very fairly Mr. Long
fellow's bestachievements." In this cat
egory it includes '! The Village Black
smith," " The Day is Dene, ' " Rain in
Summer," "The Wreck of the Hespe
rus," " The imageef Ged," " Stars of
the Summer Night," "Maidenhood,"
" The Light of the Stars," " A Day of
Sunshine " and " The Arsenal of Spring
field." These familiar poems " Excel
sior," " The Reaper and the Flowers "
and " Psalm of Life " are likely emitted
because they are popular for their senti
ment rather than their poetry ; but we
cannot understand upon what principles
of discrimination the Times overlooked
" The Bridge," " I Knew a Maiden
Fair," " Midnight Mass for the Dying
Tear "and "Building of the Ship,"
especially its apostrophe te the Union.
Tiik Republicans are beginning te
awaken te the fact that they have a state
' convention te held some of these days,
and the Press has been sending out cir
culars te the newspapers of that party
asking their opinions. A decided ma
jerity of the returns favor Beaver, which

Other developments in the Republican
situation are the probable candidacy of
Get. Hoybfer cengrsssmsn-at-large, and
a suspected design en the part of Quay te
get the nomination for supreme judge
into such a snarl between Brown and
Rawle that he can give it te Senater
Jehn Stewart of Chambersburg, and
placate the Independents with this se
lection. The Sunday edition of the Press was
a year old yesterday. -It had long since
proved that when it came it came te
stay ; and in all the essentials of a geed
newspaper it has kept the place which it
took from the start, abreast with the ad
vanced journalism of the day.

The Republicans are willing te let the
present gerrymander of New Yerk stand.
Of course they are. It is probably the
worst ever heard of. With a Democratic
majority in the state it is se distributed
around as te put 09,581 people in one
district and 178,699 in another, and cheat
the Democrats every time.
Ik view of the flood of waters and the
resulting distress in the Mississippi valley,
the .New urieans people nave given up
the proposed celebration of the bi-ccuten-
nial anniversary of La Salle's discovery of
the mouth of the Mississippi. Congress
also threw cold water en the scheme, and
and this may have much te de with its
abandonment.
Is the troubled. Cumberland coal region,
compromise between the operators and
miners is talked of ; the grecerymen of
Lawrence, Mass., will support the striking
weavers by giving them six months credit
for previsions ; cotton operatives at Fall
River contemplate a strike ; and the labor
ers and mechanics of New Brunswick N.
J., demand 50 cents a day increase after
April 1.
Leaf by leaf the roses fall. Mr. Ar
thur does net go through the garden with
a scythe, but the Half Breeds all have
their time te wither and drop from the

time, but was always hostile te Arthur's
people. His head is in the basket,
Keifcr haB removed one of the Heuse
stenographers for purely personal reasons
which, en examination, turn out te be
Grant's preference for his successor.
A BOAitD of inquiry found that Wkitta
ker outraged himself ; a favorably disposed
court martial confirmed it. Republican
administrations have declined te act upon
their conclusions through fear of making
themselves unpopular. Finally the pro
ceedings are set aside by Judge Advocate
Swaim en the purely technical ground that
certain writings of Whittaker appeared as
evidence in the case, for the purpose of
aiding the judgment of the experts in hand
writing which should net have been there.
The cadet himself is dismissed from the
academy, however, for deficiency in his
studies. As the Sun suggests, the present
action leeks like a very dexterous artifice
for getting rid of Cadet Whittaker in a
way te satisfy his enemies by its practical
result, and his friends by its overthrew of
the court martial's sentence of disgrace.

A HUSBAND'S ATROCITY.
DUCTAL CBIME IN MASSACHUSETTS.
a. Man Chases bis wile with aitaxer and Cut
Her Till She Fall Dead The News of
Saturday and Sunday.
A murder occurred in the town of Ded
ham, ten miles from Bosten, which for
atrocity exceeds any crime of a like nature
committed in the vicinity for years. Jehn
Sullivan, aged 35, who is an operative in
one of the mills there and who has been
considered a steady man, in comfortable
circumstances, quarreled with his wife,
Bridget, aged fifty, in their home. He had
been drinking slightly, and as the dispute
heightened be became enraged, and,
seizing a razor, savagely attacked his wife
with it, cutting a deep gash in her threat,
severing the jugular vein and carotid
artery and inflicting ether wounds. " The
woman, despite her terrible and fatal in
juries, rushed wildly from the house into
the Btreet, followed by her husband, bran
dishing the razor and inflicting at every
step ghastly cuts with the weapon about
her head and shoulders.
She get away from him for a short dis
tance and ran te the house of a neighbor,
but while endeavoring te obtain an en
trance was overtaken and seized by the
hair by her husband, who immediately re
newed his attack. The woman then
started and ran again, the husband follow
ing, still clutching her hair and slashing
at her with the razor. The horrible chase
was re-enacted until the woman had
reached her own doorway, where she fell
dead. Sullivan was shortly afterwards se
cured by the police and ledged in jail. Ha
seemed quiet enough after his incarcera
tien, but was reticent when spoken te of
the crime. The affair creates great excite
ment in the town.
After Sullivan was satisfied of his wife's
death, he attempted te cut his own threat'
and suceeeded in gashing his windpipe,
but the wound will net prove fatal. The
immediate cause of the crime was an ad
mission of infidelity en the part of his
wife. Sullivan says he has nothing te re
grot, and would de the same thine again

A Little Girl's l'ltlful Fate at a Crowded
Elevated llead Station.
In the crowd that hurried te beard the
Harlem train en the Sixth avenue elevated
railway at Twenty-third street at 6:35
o'clock, Saturday evening, was a little
fair-haired, blue-eyed girl about seven
years old, who carried a big bundle in a
small hand. She was accompanied by her
father, who has but one leg, and another
man. The men get en the forward plat
form of the third car. As she was about
getting en she dropped her bundle, and
the candy it contained was scattered en
the platform. The little girl made a des
perate scramble te save what she could of
it, and while she was se occupied the
train began te move. ' The gate swung te
as she tried te step upon the platform of
the car, and, with her bauds lull of the
candy, she was forced violently back.
The station men say that the little girl's
father new saw for the first time that she
was in dancer, and, seizing her with a
backward swing of his arm by the shoul
der, attempted te drag her en the moving
train. However it was, the child fell be
tween the platforms of the two cars upon
the guards of the cast rail. She fell
lengthwise along the guards. In an in
stant the foremost wheel of the car had
crushed her skull, and went tearing
through the little body. She was cut te
pieces and fragments were scattered ever
the street below.
The father had uttered a great cry as
the child disappeared under the train, but
all this had happened in less tinie than it
has taken te tell it, and the train bad
gene a block and a half before it was
stepped. What could be found of the
child's body was carried te the Thirtieth
street station with some of the bits of
candy that the child had been carrying.
The name of this, the youngest victim of
an elevated railway accident, was Mary
Menzene. She was the daughter of Jeseph
Menzcne, a photographer's assistant, em
ployed by Bogardus. The man who was
with her father was Maurice Jacobs. The
address of both was 116 East 108th street.
The above account rests chiefly upon the
statements of the railway employees.
The news of the accident spread about
the city, and all the evening a crowd
blocked the thoroughfare at Twenty-third
street and Sixth Avenue, where the pave
ment was still stained with the child'sbloed

BIG BLAZE AT BICHMONP
TJ&E tOSS OVJfiB HALF A MICXIOX.
Railroad Bridge, Tobacco Warehouses,
Tenamcnts aad Other Property De De De
stroyedeos of Life.
One of the most destructive conflagra
tions which ever visited Richmond second
only te that which destroyed the business
portion en its evacuation by the Confed
erate army in April, 1865 occurred there
en Sunday, resulting in a great destruction
of property, the less of one life and sev
eral miner casualties. A number of peer
people are 'deprived of their homes and
household goods ; and the traveling public
vastly inconvenienced by the burning of
the mainbridge directly connecting the
Northern and Southern systems of rail
ways crossing James river at this point.
About half-past 13 o'clock neon, Sun
day, an employee of the Richmond &
Petersburg railroad company discovered
a small blaze near the southern end of the
company's long bridge ever the James
river, and immediately started te give an
alarm. In a few minutes a portion of the
fire department was en the ground, but
by the time it arrived the fire, aided by a
heavy gale from the southwest, had made
such rapid progress that the bridge was
wrapped in flames, and in less than half an
hour the whole structure fell a mass of
ruins into the river, leaving nothing
Btanding but the granite piers.
The bridge was originally built in 183S,
and was destroyed bv fire at the time of
the evacuation of Richmond and rebuilt in
1866. It was a Howe truss structure -of
the old style, with a trunk about eighteen
feet deep, upon which the track was laid.
Te the combustible nature of the bridge,'
combined with the high wind, was due its
swift destruction.
Wheuthe flames reached the Richmond
end they immediately seized upon the
large four-story brick tobacco factory of
T. M. Kuthcrferd & Ce., which also feu a
victim te the devouring element. Frem
that point the fire continued te spread
with frightful rapidity, attacking and lay
ing in ashes in quick succession the large
brick tobacco factories of R. A. Patterson
& Ce., T. C. Williams & Ce., the three
tobacco stemmeries of J. A. Hutehins, two
stemmeries of C. R. & F. D. Barks, the
stemmery of Aberu & Edwards, the Vul
can iron works, operated by Bruce &
Archer, twenty tenement houses occu
pied by peer peeple, about 300 feet of
trestle work connecting the Tredegar iron
works with the Richmond & Peters
burg railroad, ten new freight cars belong
ing te the Tredegar company, T. P.
Smith's grist mill, a number of ether
miner buildings and a quantity of coal
and lumber at the southern or-Manchester
end of the bridge. The Virginia mining
and manufacturing company's kaeline
works were also destroyed.
The total less is new estimated at be
tween $500,000 and $600,000, about half
of which is covered by insurance:
When it became evident that the bridge
was in imminent danger second and third
fire alarms were sounded,-and the whole
department was called out, but their ef
forts were entirely futile, fighting as they
had te de against the fierce winds, which,
driving the flames, cinders and smoke into
their faces, forced them back, feet by feet
from its fiery path. At 1:45 p. m. Mayer
Carrington telegraphed te Washington
for assistance from the fire department of
that city, but later, when the flre was
finally gotten under control, another tele
gram was sent te Washington te that
effect. The Washington department had
responded promptly and had embarked
several engines en a special train when no
tified that their service was net needed.
Charles Betts, aged 15 j ears, was killed

day last. Thousands of people visited this
handsome storeroom, and in the evening
the sidewalks en both sides of the street
were crowded with peeple trying te gain
admission. The proprietors were com
pelled te lock the store doers for seme
time owing te the large crowd.
The immense throng of humanity
struggled for admission, and then, strug
gled still mere violently te get out. Women
screamed with affright, being almost
squeezed te death, and children were held
above the heads of the crowd, or set down
en the plate glass cases te prevent them
from being crushed te death. Policemen
were detailed te clear the pavements and
keep open the entrance te and exit from tee
store, but the crowd closed in behind the
policemen almost as seen as a passage had
been opened, and thus for hours the strug
gle te get in and get out was kept up. The
opening was certainly an unprecedented
success.
The store is divided into 22 departments.
The first of these en the right, en entering
the store, is tbe gents' furnishing depart
ment where is kept the finest goods from
a necktie te a shirt. In this department
is a combination show case,made from one
solid piece of metal, which is filled with
the finest silk handkerchiefs and scarfs.
On the left of this is the corset department,
where can be purchased all kinds of cor
sets from the cheapest te the finest satin,
opposite is the ribbon counter which
contains 1200 different qualities of all
shades and sizes, from the narrowest band
te the broadest sash. Next is the lace
department filled with the finest Spanish
lace ranging iu price from $4 te.$5a yard.
Opposite is the hosiery departmect, where
rich and peer can suit themselves and their
purses with stockings from live cents per
pair te the elegant silk hose at $5 a
pair. The largest aud most attrac
tive is "the millinery department,
located iu the rear, and which is presided
ever by fifteen yeuug ladies. Anether
attractive feature is the cologne- fountain,
which is located in the centre of the store,
from which eight gallons of German
cologne were distributed en Saturday even
ing. Owing te the large crowd the Messrs.
Guttschalk & Lederman were compelled te
postpone the distribution of bottles of
cologne. Frem new until Saturday even
ing every purchaser Will be presented with
a bettle of elegant cologne, filled fresh
from the fountain. In a lew days two
elegant show cases filled with jewelry will
be placed in the centre of the store There
are new employed in the store ferty-five
obliging and attentive .young lady sales
men, and this number was net equal te the
aemancls made upon them Saturday even
ing. A visit te this elegant store cannot fail
te gratify the most fastidious cennisseur.
The wonderful success of the open
ing of this great bazaar is another evidence
of the value df liberal and judicious ad
vertising, and a proof positive that people
read the newspapers.

, Baildlag Improvements.
C. Swartz's new store building and St.
Jehn's Luthcrau church are being rapidly
erected. Thebiick work of the former is
nearly te the scceud story, while the lat
ter is entirely under reef and part of it al
ready slated. Werk in the interior will
seen be commenced. But what has be
come of the new drug store building ea
Fifth and Union street ? Several weeks
age we noticed that the cellar was dug
and bricks steed in piles along the strcet,
and nothing has been added since. Is it
te be erected ? is tbe question.
Us Didn't Hang Himseir.
Early en Sunday morning a well known
railroader left his house with bucket, lamp
and overcoat te go down the read. At
least this is what he told his wife. In
stead, however, he went te the dispatcher's
office and " stepped oil"," with the inten
tion, as he afterwards expressed te a
friend, of finding out if his wife was true
te him, as reports pointed otherwise.
After getting the required permission, he
stalked back home and crept unobserved
into the cellar. Here he. prepared a repe
te hang himself, or at .least te pretend
doing se. He next blackened his face and
fixed the loop around his neck se that it
would net hurt him. Ou top of a box of
potatoes he waited for his wife te descend.
In a short time she did se, saw the body
of her husband suspended from a rafter,
but instead of fainting or going into hys
terics, she coolly walked up te him and
said : "Se yeu'rdcad at last ; well, I am
very glad of it." Saying which, she went
up stairs te inform the neighbors and the
coroner. By the time she was en the
pavement she was somewhat startled by a
blackened face appearing at the cellar
window, and a familiar veice requesting
her " net te trouble herself about the
neighbors or coroner, as he had chanced
his mind and hadfnet committed suicide."
flew .tuings were settled we de net knew.
