PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1868. ' CRUMB. AWFIX SVICIDI U CALIFORNIA* faitlcnliui of (be Suicide ol Colonel BlcOarnt of tfae Thirty-second. United states Infantry. [From the San Francisco Bulletin of Dec. 3LI Onr community was startled this morning by. the announcement that Col. Edward McGarry had committed suicide at his rooms in the Oeci-; dental Hotel, by cutting bis throat. The par ticulars ot this horrible affair, as far as they could, in the nature of things, be ascertained, appear to be as follows: For some time Col. McGarry has been residing with the family of cx-Gov. Low. About a week or ten days since he became slightly indisposed and' went to the Occidental Hotel, where be took a room and was attended by his servant, a colored man. He was confined to his room a part of the time, but appeared frequently on the streets, and visited his friends in the hotel.. At these periods he seemed to be ta his usual spirits, and was tree and social, as had always beennis habit, nothing ap pearing in his conduct to arouse a suspicion fa the minds of bis most intimate friends that he contemplated the destruction of his own life. Last evening he was in his apartment About I A. M. to-day his servant went to the room and found him awake. Tfae servant asked him how he felt, and he replied, jocularly, 1 ‘First rate, yon bctl” The man then retired. On going to his room again early this morning, the servant found the door locked. He rapped, bnt there wasno response; called his name, but there was no reply. He then hastened down Btalrs and told Mr. Bardenberg that he thought there must be something wrong with Col. McGarry, that he could not open the door.. Mr. Hardcnberg and another gentleman .proceeded to his room, and receiving no response from within, they l buret the door, and it struck against the prostrate and lifeless body of the unfortunate man. The room presented a horrible scene. McGarry lay on his back on the floor, with a pillow under his shoulders, and his body drawn up and partly concealed by the bed-clothes, which- he had pulled over him in the last death struggle. The remaining pillow on the bed, the sheets and blan kets were saturated and crimson with blood, and in the middle of the couch lay oh ordinary pearl handlelhree-blade pocket-knife, the large blade opened and stained to the haft with blood; it was the instrument with which he perpetrated. the awful act of self-murder. The head of deceased' was thrown-back, and immediately in front on his throat, and near the base of the neck,*was a wound about an inch in width.with jagged edges, indicating that the knife waa stabbed into his neck and then twisted abont till the windpipe and ar teries were severed. Death was not instanta neous. He had evidently cut his throat while in bed. He then got up, ana the traces of his bloody fingers can be seen high up on the wall opposite the bed, over some clothes, and on the panel of the door. He then, to all appearances, returned to the bed, took off one of the pillows, placed it on the floor, and lying down, pulled the clothes partly off, covered himself, anti died. The floor was covered with blood, and there were splatches o’f it on the marble-top stand. On this lost were two bottles of medicine, and a package of the some in powders lying near them. I Information of the - suicide was at once con veyed to the Coroner, who came to the room and made an examination of eveiythtag in it. He found no writing bv the deceased, but only some notes and letters addressed to him. His friends. consider that he committed suicide while labor ing under temporary insanity. I It is said that CoL McGarry waa ,a native of New York. He was a self-made man. Many oif his friendß here recollect seeing him first when he was -employed in., a. livery stable in Rochester, N. Y. when'war with Mexico was declared he went into that country as a sutler oh Taylor’s line. After the close of that war he came to this State, and aC the breaking out of the war of the rebellion he was at Stockton. He joined the volunteers, anff went- to-Utah -as Captain of a company in Colonel Connor's regi ment. In that service he distinguished himself in several sanguinary engagements. Afterwards he was promoted to the ranks of captain, major, ■and finally, at the time of his death, he was lieu tenant-colonel of the 32d Regiment of United States Infantry. He acted as Judge-Advocate in the trial of the Harppnding piracy case in this city, and was for several years a member of the Legislature from Napa county. He was a man of very warm and ardent temperament, emi nently social, and had a very large circle of friends and acquaintances, who will deplore W - death and the awful circumstances which at tended it. Tbe ScknylklU murder—The Case of Capt. Kelirer. ! The Lebanon Advertiser says: “A great deal of excitement was occasioned In and around Schuyl kill county by the reported confession of a young man in,regard to the - murder of Capt. Kehrer. We did not believe a tithe of the reports, and hence, did not publish them. It now turns out as we expected. No parties were arrested in Buffalo; no letter was got from the Dead Letter Office; the party who should have confessed de nies all about it, and the U. S. Detective who should have wormed ont the mystery has disap peared. ■ Thus the whole affair remains as here tofore— a murder, the dead body not found, and the perpetrators of the tragedy unknown.” ' 1 we learn from the friends of the missing man in this city that the above is substantially true, rind to it we add the following particulars: The detective,- Carpenter, after bringing out the “con fession” of young Aibrighton, charged his Brother, brother-in-law and a man by the name Of Lomison with having conspired to secure the murder of Capt. Kehrer through two Irish men, Btated that he would go to Altoona lifter a Woman who had’’been a house keeper of Lomlßon’s and was charged with' having washed the bloody, clothes of the missing Captain. For some unexplained reason He went ,to his home in Wyoming. Alter his de parture youngAlbrighton denied having, made iLo confession, no Irishmen could be found, and “dead letter” proved to be a hoax. ‘ .Parties Started after Carpenter, and,after some difficulty, arrested him In a mill where he had fled to avoid Observation. He was taken to Pottsville, and placed >in the jail; where he is now confined. Thus everything seems to be again shrouded in mystery, and we shall anxiously await develop Arrest of a Notorious Counterfeiter— j Spurious National Bank. Notes. I The Cincinnati Commercial,‘oi Monday, says: ‘fin March last wis.had occasion to chronicle the irrest. in thls viafeity, by United States detective E. L. Quinton, of Charles Ulrich, one Of the most prominent counterfeiters of the United States, and, from the fact,of being a very accom plished engraver moßt, dangerous. of all of them. He was arrested in company with another man and woman, and in his possession was . found a five hundred dollar National Bank plate, the pack of which he had finished, and, upon tho face of which he was then “engaged. He had diready engraved the counterfeit $lOO plates On the National Banks for New folk, Boston and Cincinnati. From this point Ulrich was taken to New York, and thence to the Brooklyn tail, as he was wanted in the East; He managed to out of that jail and to escapetoCanada early toJuhe.'Am'hewastoo-dangerousa'man' to be allowed his liberty, if that cotud possibly be Avoided. Chief Wood. of Washington, and Detec tive Quinton exerted themselves to, recapture him. After a long chase they finally captured him at the Rosin House, in : Toronto, Canada West, and immediately took steps to bring him back to the United States. , i “They experienced many ■ difficulties In this, the prisoner having a smart lawyer to defend his ease;- and finally, after giving in all their testi mony, they were compelled; (o mturn without him, final dedaion in the cafe having:been:do-’ (erred. IP the I .latterpart.sf;October, Ulrich managed to break jail again, at Toronto/ and to successfully evade, pursuit. 1 Detective Quinton dctc¥toined ‘to secure him and bring him to jus tice, W that were possible, immediately esm menc«i|work again In an effort to obtain-traceof him./Jin this effort he succeeded about a month Bgo.fy He started out then on his thlrd chase after the man, and made the round of Eastern and' • Western cities, without coming upon him. .A few day* since, bewever, ho ascertained that his fame would be in the city in; a short time, and e Immediately made preparations ,! to put the ‘collar’ on the fugitive ‘coniaker.’ In this ho finally succeeded, fist evening, at the Cincinnati Hamilton and Dayton depot, ‘ where he found Ulrich preparing to leave the city. Ulrich sur rendered quietly." DISASTERS. Boiler Explosion in PMabnrclt-Two Ben Killed. [Fjorn the Pittsburgh Gazette of Feb. SI A boiler explosion occurred yesterday morn ing abont 5 o’clock, at Frahktown, in the works of Mr. John D. Gray, resulting in the death of John Harris, the engineer, and fatally injuring his son, who was employed as fireman. One of - the employe's of the mill had just arrived when the explosion took place, and on running in to see the cause found the fireman lying some dis tance from the furnace , terribly bruised and scalded. He called assistance and carried the in jured man to bis bouse, which was but a short distance off and returned ,to the mill for the purpose of getting some oil to dress his wounds, when he heard the groans of the engi neer, and upOD going to the spot whence the groans proceeded, found him under the Sitman In an almost lifeless condition. [e wits removed at once, and con veyed: to his residence, where he died in about twenty minutes alterward. The building and ma-, chinery were but slightly damaged by the acci dent, the only injury being the destruction of the shed which covered the boilers. . Coroner Clawson was notified of the affair and eummoned a jury. Several, witnesses were ex amined relative to the cause of -the explosion, who all agree that it was attributable to an in sufficiency ofvwstesltt the boiler. The deceased was abont forty-live years of age, and leaves a family of five children, three girls and two boys, one of whom is married, and the other, who was. injured, is about twenty-one years. Another BaUroad Accident—Fatal lllsaiter. iFrom the Bt. Paul (Minn.) Frees of the 4th fnnt. J Another one of those fatal accidents that makes the blood almost creep with horror, happened yesterday on the 8L Paul' and Pacific Railroad near the Lake Como .crossing. A wood train came in on this road in the afternoon, arriving here about 4% o'clock. Soon after the arrival of the .train, the 4% o’clock accommodation for Minneapolis departed on the Bame road. When the accommodation train reached the Lake Como crossing they discovered a man, a little lying upon the track. The train was stopped; and on going to where he lay, it was tound to be a .lifeless body, with the head and left arm entirely severed. The remains were placed on board the train and carried to Bt. Anthony. A despatch was at once sent back here. In the meantime the hands on 'the wood train discovered that a brakeman named James McGuire waa missing. As soon as the despatch waa received a special train was despatched for the remains, and they were brought to this city and carried to his'home, corner of Rosabel and Third. From the clothing it was evident that the remains were those of James McGuire, brakeman of the wood train. Burning ol a Steamer. [From the St, Lonie Democrat of February 4.1 At 7 o’clock last night the , mammoth steamer Gfticft Dolsen, one of the largest boats on the river, was burned to the waterYfedge at the foot of Lesperance street. The engines proceeded toward the spot, but the position of the burning steamer .being. inaccessible to thevnachlnesthe firemen gave up the chase and returned to their houses. One of the ferry-boats came alongside after the upper works, had fallen in, but, from some cause, no stream was thrown, and the ferry steamed away,' leaving the Clara to her fate. The origin of the fire is nnknOwn. The boat had been laid up since October, and had no freight on board. She was worth about 840,000, and is in sured in Cincinnati companies. A Journey Overland from Walrussia. [From tbe Bt. Paul Frees of Feb. 3.] We had the pleasure of meeting yesterday a gentleman who has just reached the city, having been engaged since last August in making the perilous and adventurous overland trip from our new Knseian American possessions. The gentleman in question was one of the early employes of the Oveerland Tele graph Company, whose - lines . were to run- through Russian America, thence across to Russia and to. St. Petersburg, and has been in the employ of the company that has since carried on the work. The company having suspended operations for a time, he came down to the southern part of “Russian America” and going up Canal,” the salt water inlet which forms its southern boundary, and ascend ing Nosb river (given on some maps as Simpson river),started in August last on his overland trip. By making a portage he was able to cross by means of a line of small lakes from the head waters of the Simpson river to Fort McLeod, on the headwaters of the PePce river. Passing down this branch he cametinto the Finley river, and soon into the Peacdwver proper; following this river, which-flaws along a- beautiful valley through the Rocky Mountains, he kept op. hfe canoe with his Indian guide to Dnnvegan House. Here he went out of the way to visit Smoky river, so caUed from the country being clouded with smoke from the burning peaks, the soil being a mass of earth mingled with asphalting. or petroleum. .. .. . v : Continuing his journey, sometimes in a canoe, sometimes on a horse and sometimes on foot; he crossed to Lesser 81ave'Lake,up' the stream at its northerly, end,: and thence by portage' across to the Saskatchewan, and dojvn it to the Carlton House., Here the Water courses were leit alto- f ether, and our adventurous traveler continued is journey , on-horseback and in dog sleds to Fort Garry on,the Red; River, thence with dog sleds, which carry the-mail, to Pembina andjjtort Abercrombie, and thence to this city, whence .he intends to proceed to New York, where he will shortly take the steamer for California, f One not accustomed to that mode of life can hardly imagine the, difficulties, privation's and dangers attending, such a journey through a country, a large portion of which was inhabited only by the Indians, and dependent upon them for supplies of food, for the traveler and guide, which" were . often obtained with the greatest difficulty. . ~ • ' Our adventurer was for a considerable length of time in. the central portion of “Russian America” dr AlPska, having aided in clearing the route for the telegraph line, which, starting from the terminus of other Unes which run up from California, through Oregon and British Colom bia to thesouthern boundary,of our new .pos sessions, thence has penetrated well up toward the interior. He Is weU posted as to its the nature of the country and capabilities, being a shrewd observer, and having a large fund of general knowledge. It will b* seen that on some of the late mape,the .Towcaan river is represented as flowing in to the Arctic Ocean, while onothera this is bnt a branch of a large rive* which flows into the Atlantic nearßondng Btraltß. The latter Is correct, thts river, whlch-te. called the Kitchpitch (we don’t claim to give the Rnssian" spelling),' being navi gable for a thousand miles through the. interior of the country. pally o pine, bsSmlQok ancf <»dMj tmdfaUF lPrge quantities ; of coal, which the InffiSas burn In their lodges,- it -being ,similar to Pennsylvania coaL The land all tlongdownthesonthern strip is well timbered,, and, nas abandon tetreama, which funjtoh the wite lowers; Tim lumber trade with California and Oregon seems destined to be an important one as well as across to Asia, as it was necessary to ship immense quantities of ’telegraph poles from the Pacific coast to supply the Asiatic end of the line. Some portions of the country are dotted With numerous lakes and occasional marshes, others are richly supplied with minerals, which have heretofore no); been worked, for two reasons— one being the difficulty of access, and the other that all precious metals found, until the recent purchase, fell to the royal treasury. Gardena ore common and fine vegetables are raised. Thermoriletrical observations have been regularly kept for four years at Fort Youcon, on the Youcon river, abont midway between the Pa cific and Arctic Oceans, showing a temperature about the same as Quebec and Montreal. The cod fisheries near the islands along the coast are un surpassed, while the finest furs are wonderfully plentiful and cheap—being bought for .a trifle from the Indians in the Interior. . Many and conflicting statements have already been published in regard to Alaska, which makes the description ot one whose acquaintance with the country la the result of recent and personal observation. of special interest. We give his statements as they were famished to us, with holding his name at his request, his position, and the business connected with his present trip ren dering this desirable. THE Gil ANT-JOHNS ON QDABREI*. Horace Greeley on tbe Situation. [From to-day’a Tribune. ] We do not see how General Grant could have taken any other course. If he really made the promise the President alleges, then he must be a fool or a knave, for his friefids were making his canvass upon the express understanding that in this Tenure of Office law, as in all other laws, he would obey Congress. Wo do not think there is a well-informed bricklayer In New York who does not take this view. For the President to suppose that Grant could follow any other path is to us incomprehensible. Then comes another phase! It is very hard to say just what we feel without appearing to be intemperate in speech. The President is disap- Eointed, piqued, chagrined. In the first place, e cannot play Grant as a silent chessman. The General is not willing to irnst the President's as surances that if he is put in jail he' will be pro tected. Of course Mr. Johnson * desired this. With Gen. Grant nominally resisting Congress, he would have had a glorious quarrel, and shown an enormous quantity of ‘‘vigor.’’ But Stanton goes ta and Grant goes out. Plainly, there is bnt on 6 course. He must either submit or resist. If Stanton has been absolutely removed, as the President contends, then he should be turned out as a usurper by the police,: or a new Secretary appointed, and an order is sued to obey him, and him only. This would have been no more a disobedience of law than for Grant to have held the office after Stanton’s restoration. The Supreme Court was open to Johnson os well as to Grant. There was one plain course. But it required pluck, for over ail lowered the Senate and the House and the never-ceasing sough-' ing of impeachment. The President neither resists nor yields, bnt scolds! He sends for the correspondents—a lively scribe named “J, B. 8., particularly, and for Coyle, the tragedian of l the Intelligencer —and has arti cles written; and in forty-eight hours—all over the country—the General of the Army, by the direct prompting and ’ suggestion of the Presi dent of the United States, is denounced os a “liar.” a “sneak,", and a dishonorable man. . I There is something ruffianly; in all this. We afe no champion of General Grant. We do not approve of many things be hap done.. We think he has allowed his amiability and deaire for quiet to place him too often in a questionable posi tion, and thus to injure the cause. 1 lh this last business, however, he has shown qualities that add to his great fame, and justify the confidence of loyal men. It will, of course, bring upon him the howls and Imprecations of the rebel and Cop perhead, especially when incited and suggested by thd President. Mr. Johnson has done many things to grieve the heart of the nation. His last little game is the most humiliating and unenvia ble of all. AMUSEMENTS.
