The Sufferers by the Floods In France.
The suffering in portions of France,by the
recent terrible inundations, is terrible, and
contributions for the relief of those who have
lost all they possessed, are, solicited. The
good people of Philadelphia will, we hope,
respond liberally to the appeal from the
French Consul at this city, which we copy
from the Ledger:
FEE.NaII CONSULATE, RIXELADELPHIA, Nov. 21,1888•
To the Editor of the Ledger: You ,have been kind
enough In several numbers of your respected journal,
and particularly In that of the 17th Instant, to call the
attention of your numerous readers to the disasters
that have recently befallen France.
The ruin caused by inundations has, indeed, been
Immense, and yet, unfortunately, that has not been
the only affliction.

my compatriots, and also to some American citizens,
who formed themselves Into a committee, under my
direction, to receive the contributions destined to al
leviate, as much as possible, the sufferings consequent
upon Lb use disasters.
An urgent appeal for this purpose is made to the
generous sentiments' of all persons.
/ he subscriptions will be received at the office of the
French Consulate. 524 Walnut street, room 19, and by
the members of the committee, whose namee and ad
dresses are given below; and the names of the subscri

Two Kentuckians Rill Each Other—A
Faithless Wife Causes the Bloody Frans
. action.
[From the Loultyllje Journal.]
A correspondent of Fort Craig, New
Mexico, whose letter was written on the Ist
inst., sends us the particulars of a most
shocking affair that took place between two
officers of the 125th U. S. C. Troops, a regi
ment which was recruited in Kentuqky in
the spring of 1865, and which was sent out
to the Territory of New Mexico, last sum
mer, where it is now doing duty. One of
the parties, First Lieutenant John F. War
ner, had ben for some time suspicious that
improper intimacy • existed between his
wife—who has been with him nearly ever
since he joined the regiment—and another
First Lieutenant (Frederick Haselharst.)
He finally became so confirmed in his
suspicions, and dissatisfied, that he
peremptorily turned his wife away and in
stituted proceedings for a divorce. This was
a little over two weeks ago, at Ft. Selden,
New Mexico. His wife thus left to herself,
appealed to the genexosity of the officers at
the post for a sum of money sufficient to
cover the expenses of a journey back to
Kentucky. She was a native of Lexington,
Kentucky, where, if we are not mistaken,
she has a parent or parents. She has friends
also in Louisville, and intended to make
that her place of abode. She succeeded in
raising the necessary ampunt of funds and
left Fort Selden about two weeks ago oa her
way, by coach, for the States, shaking off
the dust of her feet against '•Johnny," and
breathing parting regrets for the more
favored "Fred."
No sooner had she left, however, than
frequent letters began to pass between her
self and Haselhurst. Warner, stung with
jealousy, was on the qui vive, and Tuesday,
October 23, just before the departure of the
Northern mail, succeeded in getting access
to the mail-bag, in which he found three
letters directed to "Mrs. Julia Warner."
These he opened and found to be very glow
ing, love-breathing missives, written by
Lieut. Fred. Hasethurat. Shortly after, it
being nearly dinner time, he (Warner) sta
tioned himself at a point near which the
officers usually passed on their way,to the
mess-room, armed with three or four
well-loaded pistols and a bowie-knife.
It was not long before Haselhurst
came along, when Warner confronted
him with a drawn revolver and
demanded—" What -do yon write let
ters to my wife for?" and thereupon imme
diately discharged his revolver, the charge
taking effect in Haselhurst's body just
below the lower ribs. The wound was
helplessly fatal, bat RAReltuarst, not at once
disabled, retreated into the quarters of the
commanding officer of the_post, which were
near at hand, pursued by Warner,who con
tinued to fire at him,
though it seems with
out effect. Two or three shots were thus
fired inside the room, when Haselhurat
sprang upon Warner and succeeded in
wresting_ away one of his revolvers. Thus
armed, Haseihmst took deliberate aim and
shot Warner directly through the
heart as the latter was standing
outside the door preparing another
pistol - for firing. Warner stanered
forward, drew his bowie knife, stuck it two
or three times in the aide of the adobe build
ing, and fell dead upon the spot. Huai
hunt only survived him a few hours; and
now they sleep side by side, far away from
their homes, each, through the influence of
base passion, the other's destroyer. War
ner was about twenty-eight years old. At
the time of his death he was Acting Assist
ant Quartermaster at Fort Belden. He was
a native of Kentucky. His father was
Colonel of one of the Union, Ky., regiments
for a period during the war.
Mrs. Warner has a child about a year and
a half old, which she took with her on her
journey. What her feelines must be when
she learns the horrid result of her miscon
duct may be imagined.
Destructive Boiler Explosion.
Mom the Allentown (Pa.) News of Wednesdny..l
Hensingerville, situate about 12 miles
from here, and near Alburtis Station, E. P.
R. R., was the scene of a fearful accident
yesterday afternoon, shortly before 1 o'clock.
The boiler used at one of the mines, belong
ing to the Allentown Company exploded,
bursting in two pieces and tearing every
thing around it. Several persons were in
jured, among them Mr. Milton Weaver, of
this place, who had a leg broken. He was
brought to town last evening. We aawhim
this morning and learned from him a few
more particulars. He was going to dinner,
and when within ten or twelve steps from
the engine house heard a discharge like a
gun, immediately feeling a brick thrown
againsti his breast, which knocked him
down senseless. A large piece of wood,
falling on him afterwards broke his leg.
Henry Miller, the engineer, was hit on the
head, and fears were entertained, late last
night, that he would not survive, the brain
being laid open. Elias Shiffert escaped with
the loss of several teeth. Parts of
the boiler, which wail about 30 feet long,
were thrown far away with great force,
the largest piece forcing itself into the
ground only a few steps from where Mr.
Weaver was lying. The cause of the acci
dent is tot known to a certainty, but it is
believed that it was lack of water in the
boiler. Mr. Weaver, we are happy to say,
is doing well under lle circumstances.
• P. 5.—A correspondent from Millerstown,
coming to band shortly before going to ,
press, and speaking of the same accident,
says, Mi. Miller, the engineer, is dead.
"No ONE BUT A FOOL WOULD BUY A
WILLCOX & GIBBS MACHINE," said an
over-zealous operator in one of our princi
pal sewing machine establishments, to a
party of ladies, one of whom bad expressed
a preference for the "twisted-loop-stitch."
"Ah !" was the reply, "you do me no great
honor. Several of my own family and
many personal friends already have the
Willcox & Gibbs, and all, without qn excep
tion, recommend it to me. You' VAT' SET
ME DOWN AS A FOOL TOO."
TAKING IT EASY.—Says the Leavenworth
Times—A fire broke out about 11 o'clock
last night, in the poor-house buildings on
Shawnee street, west of Broadway. The
buildings were unoccupied, and had been
declared a nuisance at the last meeting of
the City Council. The probability is, that
some person wishing to save - the city the
expense of abating said nuisance, quietly
louclied a match to the old cottonwood
structure. Its destruction is certainly no
loss to the community."
A MASONIC OLIVE .BRANCE.—The
Charleston papers contain accounts of a
very pleasant incident. Orange Lodge No.
14, at a recent communication, were com
pletely surprised by the receipt of a splen
:did case of - Masonic jewels from brethren in
Massachusetts. They were accompanied
with a very affectionate letter, to which Mr.
Gillmore Simms prepared a reply.

FROM NEW YORK.
•
J
NuwYonn - N • ov. 23 —A ease is now being
tried before Judge Sunderland, in the Su
-I•reme Conrt Chambers, to determine what
constitutes a "man of color." The Board of
Begisters of the Second District, Eighteenth
Ward, refused to register James A. Darnall,
on the ground that lie was a colored man,
and bad not the requisite property qualifi
cation. and this suit was brought to compel
the Board to show cause why he should not
be registered. The relator's counsel said
that his client was dark complexioned, but
that might be the result of a bilious attack.
The case was adjourned until next Monday.
The case of Wilson and Cochue, who were
charged with implication in the recent
Brooklyn distillery frauds, were before
Commissioner Newton yesterday,but,owing
to the absonce of counsel for the accused,
was adjourneduntil to-day. Another diAil
lery seized on Wednesday in Williamsburg,
where apparently another shrewd scheme
was going on to outwit the law. The still
and distillery are kept in a seemingly un
finished condition, and the owners intimate
that they will take out a license as soon as
they finish repairing their establishment.
But the officers discovered a still in full blast
about four o'clock in the morning, and
arrested the proprietors.
The case of the alleged privateer Meteor,
was up before Judge Nelson, in the United
States Circuit Court, yesterday, on a pro
forma discussion as to fixing a day for hear
ing argument in the case in connection with
Judge Betts's decision condemning the ves
sel. The United States District Attorney
was in favor ()netting the case go at once,
without argument in the Circuit Court, to
the bench of the Supreme Court of the
United States at Washington. This will, in
all probability, be the course adopted.
The trial of Eugene J. Fergus, for the
murder of Patrick McGuann, on the 6th of
August last, in Furmln street, Brooklyn,
Was commenced yesterday morning in the
Court of Oyer and Terminer. The evidence
for the prosecution was completed, and the
trial will probably close to-day.
Two young officers belonging to the
household of the Prince of Higo, who is a
potentate of the Japanese Empire, arrived
here on Tuesday by the bark Wave. They
are on the way to Philadelphia, where they
purpose remaining for five years, in order
to acquire a thorough knowledge of naval
science and to acquaint themselves with the
manners and cnstomsof the great republic.
It is rather a remarkable fact that though
the Japanese are anxious to raise a navy, to
be built by their own people and in their
own shipyards, yet the Tycoon is reluctant
in permitting the youth of the country to go
abroad and learn the requisite arts for
enabling her to do so. These young gentle
men, who are the sons of some feudal
prince, were obliged to leave their country
surreptitiously, as the Tycoon had forbid
den them to depart without his express per
mission. They are brothers, and rejoice in
the rather musical names ofi Numa Gawa
and Saheida, and are extremely courteous
and pleasing in their manners.
The Protestant Episcopal churches of
Long Island met yesterday in joint conven
tion at Grace church, Brooklyn. The sub
ject of a division of the diocese and the es
tablishmentof cheap schools was discussed,
and two donations of 11,000 each made for
the latter purpose.
The ship Mercury arrived at this port on
Wednesday with cholera on board, thirty
three deaths having occurred on the voy
age. She was detained at the lower Quar
antine.
Another hero of the late war has passed
away, and one whose hiss will be deeply
felt In naval circles. Captain William W.
Walker, U. S. N., after an illness of two
months, died on Monday night, of heart
disease, at the Brooklyn Naval Hospital.
During the war he commanded the United
States man•of• war De Soto, which rendered
good service in the East Gulf Squadron by
the capture ot a number of fine prizes. Capt.
Walker was relieved from duty as comman
der of the De Soto last spring, since which
period he has been engaged in various active
duties. He was recently ordered to this
port as Lighthouse Inspector. Captain
Walker was bord in Maryland, and entered
the service in 1827, and was 54 years of age
et the time of his death. He has seen 17
years sea- service,about 11 years shore duty,
and 11 years on the retired list. He was
assistant to the lamented Admiral Gregory
in superintending contract vessels. He has
written a number of clever pamphlets on
engineering. His body was sent to his
friends in Washington last night.
Locomotive Blown Up—Engineer and
Fireman Killed, and Conductor Badly

frightful Cleveland Leader of Wednesday.l
A catastrophe occurred at New
burgh, on the Mahoning Branch of the At
lantic and Great Western Railway, this
morning between eight and nine o'clock.
Engine No. 213, while standing upon the
track, exploded her boiler, instantly killing
F. A. Gardner, engineer, and Green,
fireman. The conductor, F. J. Borden,had
his leg broken,and is in a critical condition.
The cause of the explosion is unknown.
A few moments before it occurred the en
gineer remarked to the conductor that some
person had been tampering with his gauges,
and immediately after mounted to the top
of the cab to adjust some portion of the
machinery. While there the explosion took
place, and he was blown several yards, his
head being severed from his body. The fire
man was also thrown some distance,and was
fearfully mangled. The engine was blown to
atomsfragthents of the boiler and machinery
being' hurled in every direction with terrific
violence. A piece of the boiler weighing
some five hundred
_pounds, 'was thrown high
into the air, arid came down crashing
through the roof and chimber floor of a
house, striking in the kitchen but a few feet
from where two or three ladies were sitting.
Their fright at the sudden appearance of
such a visitor, may be imagined. The
engineer was one of the oldest and most
trustworthy upon the road, and no blame
whatever can 4e attached to him.
A BAD and thrilling accident occurred at
St. Louis last Friday night, In returning
from a ball a large party of happy young
folks were aboard of a ferry, and as the boat
was nearing the shore, a sudden Jostle threw
a beautiful young lady, named Anna Mor
rison, into the dark, deep waters of the river.
Instantly a noble young man plunged into
the water and caught the fair form in his
arms and struggled manfully to bear his
precious burden to the shore. He called for
a boat or plank, but none were within reach,
and as the current was swift, and he was
encumbered by heavy clothes and the skirts
of the young lady, the roaring waters swept
both further from the shore. His strength
gave way, - and the girl sunk to a watery
grave, >and -he vTas thrown up insensible
upon the 'shore. The brave young man's
name is not given, but it should be, that the
world might admire a noble nature which
it were Inuit to praise. - •
A Desperate Gang of Robbers—A Brave
'
[Mom the Nashville Despatch, Nov. 20.]
From passengers by the Memphis train of
Sunday evening we learn that on Friday
night a band of seven or eight
men' raided upon 2.loLeod'is sta
tion, about twenty miles beyond
Bowling Green, on the Memphis' branch
road, and broke into and plundered the
store of Mr. Watson. The robbers forced
their way through the back door of the
house, which opened into a sleeping apart
inent. On elitering the room the villains
disboveled ;two men lying upon a bed and
fired two shots at them, but without effect.
Two fine double-barreled shot-guns that
stood in the room were seized by the raiders
and broken in pieces. They then went to the
front store, rifled the money-drawer of six
ben dollars (all it contained) and
helped themselves to large quantities
of gicceries. In retracing their
way from the store, a young lady of the ,
house was grasped by one of the scoundrels
and threatened with instant death if she
did not tell them where they could find
the balance of Watson's money. The un
daunted girl, fast in the grip of the ruffian
and a pistol at her head, steadily refused
to disclose the secret. The brutish robber
was so abashed by her firm, deportment
that he relinquished his hold and passed on
through the alarmed household. But had
he known that his fair captive held in her
dress sleeve two or three hundred dollars
of the coveted money, ,the would in all pro
bability have been fearfully dealt with.
The dastardly rogues were white men
disguised as negroes, and while in the
house they called each other by the names
and attempted to imitate the peculiarities
of certain well known negroes living in
that neighborhood; a stratagem to deceive
the inmates of the store, and bring trouble
upon the innocent negroes. But it failed
entirely. - -
As FOOD - as possible after the marauders
left the house an alarm was raised, and se
veral men of the neighborhood armed them
selves and started in pursuit. The whale
surrounding country was patrolled, but
without success. The next night, (Satur
day) however, the robbers went back to try
their hands again. - On approaching the sta
tion they were met by a volley of a dozen or
more shots, and they retreated ingloriously.
It is stated that the villainous party,
while ransacking the store and residence of
Mr. Watson, not only insulted the lady
members of his family, but fired a number
of shots among them. That the balls failed
to produce wounds or death was not owing
to the care of the amiable assailants. Their
expedition was murderous as well as
pilfering.
A Sleet Question.
The question of the right of colored citi
zens to vote is now before the Courts of
New York, and will soon arise in argument
before those of New Jersey. The case in
this city cornea up under the Registry Law,
and the applicant or plaintiff is so white
that the delicate taint, which in the micro
scope eyes of Shylock's justice marks him
out for political excommunication, is so
vague as to be indiatinguishable. But
has it notwithstanding; his "wavy hair,"
somewhat crisp. we presume, is proof of
it, for capillaries have for many a year
been considered by the best Southern
and Northern anthories as good evidence of
blood in buying, selling or kidnapping. A
hair's breadth is the measure of the offence;
otherwise he is as white as Most voters, and
quite as intelligent and respectable as a
good many, for, be has the manhood, the
sense, and the means to forward his cause
and contest his righti. A Board of Regis..
ters of the Eighteenth Ward, with a delicate
sense of blood, discovered, after some pains,
that this gentleman was a negro, and there
upon, as in conscience bound, inflicted upon
him a deprivation of political rights.
The snot pending is utterly irrespective of
the property qualification in the colored
franchise of this State, the plaintiff claiming
that he has the same right to vote as any
other man as white or black as himself.
His counsel, Mr. Gilbert, now appeals from
the decision of the Registrars, and insists
that, before a g ain suffering punishment, his
client be tried and convicted by a jury,
who shall once for all determine if possible,
what infinitessimal viciousness runs in his
blood, and what filaments of crime cling
about him in every wavy hair of his head.
Whether the judge will agree with him, or
or decide the matter "on inspection," as he
claims to do, is of course only in the breast
of that officer; but we do not wonder that
the proposition excited smiling. The only
wonder is that a provision of the State Con
stitution, inflicting a penalty without
defining or pointing out the means of de
termining the offence, should not long ago
have sunk into desuetude amid inextin
guishable laughter.- -N. Y. Tribune.
SOUTHERN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARIES.-.-
At the second day's session of the Southern
Presbyterian General Assembly, at Mem
phis, Tenn, the report of the Columbia (S.
C.) Theological Seminary was read. It ap
pears that this seminary had, in 1864, be
fore the surrender, a fund of $262,000, which,
by investment in rebel bonds, has dwindled
to . $95,500. Rev, Henry J. Vandyke, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., is . recommended for the
chair of Didactic Polemic Theology, and va
rious methods of raising funds were sug
gEsted. The revert of the Union Theological
Seminary, in Virginia, was read: The funds
of this institution amount to $98,847 51 in
Virginia and North Carolina bonds. It has
labored under embarrassments similar to
hat at Columbia, S. C.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT:—Last evening, as
the freight train on the Lehigh Valley Rail
road was leaving the Bethlehem freight
station, by some mishap the locomotive and
several cars were run off the traalt, which is
on very even ground. The concussion was
so great on the rear cars, that the brakes
man on one of the cars fell headlong down
on the track and several cars must have
passed over him. He was taken up' a life
less corpse and planed in the freight house.
Coroner Samuel Brunner was notified and
at once proceeded to the spot A jury , was
.empanneled and the;foregoing, facts were
obtained from witnesses present. The un
fortunate man was Clemenoe Goodyear, a
single man, from South Easton.—Allentown
