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.

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.

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

'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

EARNINGS OF THE COMPANY.
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
