Meunice.—Mrs. Lizzie Graham, who ivas shot by her husband at No. 827 Fitzwater Street on 'Thursday, died from the effects of her •v• ound last night, at the Pennsylvania Hospital. Ihyhug yesterday she was conscious and con verr•cd with ionic friends who visited her. She stated that her husband had threatened her be fore, and she was in constant fear of her life. Graham appears to be deranged or to be labor. under sonic hallucination. While in the cell a' the Second District Police Station he stated ki•vei al times that his wife • had attempted to roison hint, and when asked how she had done it. replied, by putting poison .on the soles of his let t. The poison, administered in that way, he lusisted, would eat through his feet, and then up gs to his vitals. A few days before the shooting the prisoner called at the Mayor's office, and aesired to pro cure a warrant for the arrest of his wife. He' charged her with being a Spiritualist and with laving attempted to take his life in several ways. The general impression of the officers on'cluty was that the man was not in his right mind, and they . got rid of him by making some excuse for not issuing the warrant. • Coroner Daniels was notified of the death of Mrs. Graham, and will hold an inquest in the case on Monday.

It is in every way worthy of the support of our citizens. Adventoio of a Cady of Runk. The last Court Journal contlius the following remarkable story. We wonder of what sort of people the " English mob " which attends fires is composed. In America, no lady, whatever her rank or however costly her dress, is afraid. to trust herself to the " crowd " upon all occasions. It amuses an American to read the following story. What a remarkably courageous lady she was ! And how much confidence it did possess for her to walk in a crowd ! But truth is stranger than fiction, and wonders will never cease, especially in England. Here is the story: It is said that on the night her Majesty's Theatre was burnt, a certain lady of high rank was at the Olympic Theatre. At the conclusion of the performance she returned home, accompanied only by a lady friend, the gentlemen of the party preferring to walk. The brougham had scarcely pro ceeded so far as the - outlet of the Strand when all further progress in that direction was im peded,'and on inquiry as to the cause, it was announced that some houses on Carlton Ter race were burning. In that terrace was the lady's residence, and her thoughts in a mo ment flew off to the possible danger of her four little children; the eldest not six years old. The determination of the agonized mother was taken in an instant. Neither the aspect of the crowd nor , the peril' of approaching a burning house daunted her for a second. She left her carriage—her friend pluckily refusing to desert her—and plunged into the crowd, entreating every one before her to let her pass. The crowd behaved admirably, and the titled lady declares that she can remember no Water= Of obstruction to her progress, or, indeed,Of any hesitation to assist in furthering it. The confidence evinced in thus trusting themselves to those assembled there seems to have produced its own fulfillment; and these two ladies, whose bare heads, elegant dresses, and costly ornaments must have been in strange and tempting contrast to all around, not " only were al lowed to penetrate though that compact mass of people, but were very soon spared all ltibor in doing so. A group of young men—and apparently roughs—took upon themselves - to become their escort. They headed them, shouting out, "Make way for ladies whose children aro in danger !" and as the crowd at once gave place, the ladies bad only to follow their chivalrous con ductors in comparative ease. They were escorted- safely and as quickly as cirmin stances would permit, to the noble lady's own door, and with true manly feeling the escort would hardly let her wait to exprss her thanks, but called to her to "run up and kiss the kids," and they hurried off to enjoy the sight in which they bad been interrupted. The lady is said to be enthusiastic about her "roughs" of Friday night, but Will not hear of their being designated by that term.

MO MILES OF TUB UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD, Running West from Omaha ACROSS THE CONTINENT, ARE NOW COMPLETED, TILE TRACK 1313 ND LAID AND TRAINS RUNNING Within Ten Miles of. the Summit 01' THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS. The remaining ten miles will be finished its soon as f h weather permits the rund.bed to bo sufficiently packed to reccive•the rails. The work continues to be pushed for. ward in the rock cuttings on the western slope with on. abated energy, arida much larger force will be employed during the current year than ever before. The prospect that the whole GRAND LINE TO THE PACIFIC Will be Completed in 1870, Num never better. The means eo far provided for con• struction have proved ample, and there Is no lack of funds for the most vigorous prosecution of the enterprise. Them means are divided Into four classes: 1.-. UNITED STATES BONDS, Having thirty years to run, and bearing nix. per cent., cur. rency interest, at the rate of $16,000 per mile for 517 Wien en the Plains; then at the rate of $48,00e per mile for la) miles through the Rocky Mountaint; then, at the rate of sll3.tco per mile for the remaining distitnee, for which the United States taken a 4,ecoriti lien an security. The in terest on theme Bond. is paid by the United Staten govern. mcnt, which uho gar n the Company one-half the amount of itn bills in money for trawl offing its freight, troops, mails, &c. Thu remaining hell of these bills is placed to the Lompany', credit, and form• a sinking fund which may finaill&eharge the whole amount of thin lien. 2.-FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS. By its charter the Company is permitted to iisue its own First Mortgage Bonds to the s:{1130 amount as the bonds iseued by the Government, and no more, and only as. Um road proorene.. , . The Trustees fur the Boudnoldere are the Lion. E. D. Morgan, C. S. Senator from New York,and the lion, Oakes Amer, Member of the C. S. Moue of liepreEentatives, who are revolvable for the dellvely of ileac Bonds to the Company in accordance with the terms of the late. 3.-THE LAND GRANT. The Union Pacific Railroad Company Inci a land grant almolute donation from the Government of 12,80,i scree to the mile on the line of the roadovhich willr.ot ho worth 11 - 48 than $1 GO per acre, at the lowea valuation.

The Means Sufficient to Build the Road. Contract,. for the entire work of building All 'milea of fitsbelass railroad wept from Omaha, comprising much of the fuoPf eifficult mountain work, and embracing every expecte except surveying. have been made with responsible parties (who have already finished over 640 the average rate of sixty-eight thousand and fifty eight dollars Oa 01114 per mile. This price includes 'fill Mei. seary shops for construction and repairs of cars, depots, etatlem, and all other incidental bul.dinfo, and o locomotives, passenger, baggage and freight care,and other requisite rolling stock, to an amount that shall not be less than per mile. Allowing the cost of the re maining one hundred and eiglity.slx of the eleven hun• dad miles assumed to be built by the Union Pacific Com. puny to be per mile, The Total Cost of Eleven Hundred Miles will be as follows: 914 ilee, at $6 4 .04 .

At present, the profits' of the Company are derived only from its local traffic, but this is already much more than sufficient to pay the interest on all the Bonds the Company can issue. if not another mile wore built It Is not doubted that when the road is completed the through traffic of the only lino connecting the Atlantic and Paci fic States will be largo beyond precedentand as there will be no competition, it can always be done at profitable rates. , It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Railroad is in fact,a Government Work, built under the supervision of Government officers, and to a large extent with Go. vennnent money, and that its bonds are issued under Government direction. It is believed that no similar security is so carefully guarded, and certainly no other is based upon a larger or more valuable property. As the Company's FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS we offered for the present at PO CENTS ON TUE DOL. LAR, they are the cheapest security in the market, being more than 15 per cent. lower than United Stated Stooks. They Pay • SIX PER GENT. IN GOLD, or over NINE PER CENT. upon the investment, and have thirty) ears to run before maturity. Subscriptions will be received in Philadelphia by DE HAVEN di BROTHER, No. 40 S. Third street. WM.
