Comments of the New York Press on the
Into News from England.
[Front the New York World.]
It would seem that the British Government in
tends to rests its csse on irregularities in
the form of the arrest rather than on any
assumption of a right of the Confederate
emissaries to the protection of the British flag.
They assert that if the Trent was violating her
neutrality obligations, the only legal method of
proceeding was to seize her and bring her lo as a
Prize for adjudication by an admiralty court of the
'United States. Both the owners and the captors
-would be entitled to a hearing in such a court, and
the Me would be determined by the only kind of
tribunal recognized by the law of nations as compe
tent to decide it. It is assumed that Capt. Wilkes
usurped the functions of such a court. that though.
bit hews of the law may be kid, he had no autho.
rity to administer it. This may bo technically cor
rect; but, as applied to the present ease, it is mo
rally wrong. The very forbearance we practised
toward the Trent, our very courtesy to the nation
whose flag she bore, and whose mails she carried,
is construed into an outrage on that nation and an
insult to that flag!
It is unnecessary to examine whether this law
yer's quirk is sufficient ground , for a volariblry
interruptionarea*, itrititta of the peace of two
great and hitherto friendly nations Halle desires
war, she can no doubt construe this into a colorable
pretext, but if she wishes a continuance of peace,
itwould be captious and absurd for her to construe
an intended courtesy as a wanton insult. What
ever the result maybe, it behooves our Government
to be equally prepared for either war or peace.
[From the New York Yltnep,]
The only indication of the specifie ground taken
by the law officers of the Crown is thus stated in
the Times, of the 28th :
It is, we understand, the opinion of these jurists
that the right or the Federal government, acting
by its officers, was eon fined to thr visiting and the
searching of th e mad peke ; that if any men or
things believed to be contraband of war has been
found on board of her, the proper course was to
take her into port and subntit the question to the
Prize Court, which would hear evidence and ar
gument on both sides, and would have decided
the case according to precedent and'authorities.
If this is a true statement of the position of the
Government, it divests the case of many of its diffi
culties. It reduces the offence of Captain Wilkes
very materially. It admits his right to visit and
search the ship, but insists that he should have
taken her into a Prize Court for adjudication. Ilre
are by no means sure that our Government mill
not concur at ones in. this opinion. Indeed, the
only official utterance we have yet had on the sub
ject leans decidedly in that direction. The Se
cretary of the Navy, while commending, in the
warmest terms, the spirit and patriotism evinced by
Capt. Wilkes, complains that he did not take the
Trott herself into a neutral port, and Only forbore
to censure him for this omission in view of the pecu
liar circumstances of theease. Neither the President
nor any other member of the Cabinet has expressed
any opinion on the subject. Indeed, the Govern
/Yin could not properly take any action upon it
until it should be eflimally brought to its notice by
the aotion of the British Government. While it is
altogether probable that this will be done in a very
decided and peremptory manner, we aro not pre
pared to regard it as certain that our Government
will be required instantly to concede a mooted
point of law under the menace of war. Still less do
we believe that, unless Great Britain has already
resolved upon war, she will accompany this de
mand with any demonstrations which should look
like forcing us into any other than a free and so ,
luntary course of notion. If she does, she will pro ,
bably be required to disavow any such purpose as
en indispensable preliminary to any negotiation
whatever upon the subject.
If this preliminary difficulty shall not prove
formidable, and if the paragraph quoted above
states the position of the British Government cor
rectly, it is scarcely possible that this difficulty should
lead to war. The substantial fact of Capt. Wilkes'
action is not objected to ; and we may very well
concede the point made by the law officers of the
British crown, without surrendering uny substantial
national right.
One point is noticeable in our foreign despatches.
The comments of the press, the language of public
Men, cad to a very great degree the reports con
cerning the action of the Government, are colored
by the assumption that the United States are seek
ing a war with England as a means of closing their
internal strife ; and that Mr. Seward has pursued a
policy and held a tone indicative of such a purpose.
.Nothing could possibly be snore pa paternity than
suds an opinion. Beyond the blatant and malignant
utterances of the Secession press, it has not a particle
of support in any sentiment, act, or utterance of this
emostry. It would be the height of midsummer
madness. The Government and the people know
perfectly well that to plunge into a war with Eng
land now, would be simply to givo the army and the
navy of England to the support of the rebel cause.
And while, beyond all question, any direct interfe
rence of any foreign Power on behalf of the rebels,
would arouse the deepest indignation of the people,
and call forth a degree of national energy unparall
leled since the era of the French Revolution, yet
none but a madman could possibly desire such an
addition to the formidable hostility which already
tests the courage and the strength of the nation.
;or do we believe it will be possible for any candid
man in England or America to read the diplomatic
correependence of Mr, Seward on this subject,
without conceding the utter groundlessness of the
reproaches and suspicions to which he has been sub
jected
[From the New York Herald.]
We are not disturbed by outspoken misgivings of
the direct intervention of England as an ally of
Jeff Davis, on the convenient pretext of this affair
of Slidell and Mason. But maritime laws, autho
rities, and precedents, of England's own making,
stand in the way. She cannot so broadly stultify
herself as this affair would demand in making it an
insult. She cannot declare that wrong which, for
two centuries, she has preached and enforced as
the right. Out of her own mouth the judgment is
against her. It is only administering to the doctor
a dose of his own medicine. But the boldness of
this act of Captain Wilkes is none the less galling
to England's maritime selkonceit. Assured, how
ever, of her neutrality, from the reasons assigned,
we may congratulate ourselves that Captain Wilkes
has broken the charm of England's dictatorship on
the ocean, and this question may as well be settled
for all time to come, by properly meeting whatever
demands England may now make.
The Continental Powers of Europe ; including
France and Russia, will exult over ads transaction
with undisguised' pleasure. It is a telling blow at
the prestige of England's absolutism on the sea,
and hence the indignation in London, Liverpool,
and Manchester. The United States Government,
in assuming the responsibility attaching to this
Mason and Slidell seizure, at this crisis of a conti
nental domestic war, cannot be weak or doubtful of
the issue ; and such will be the general opinion of
Europe. We dare say that essentially we shall
command the respect of the gober second thought
of England herself. We incline to think that her
sagacious statesmen will soon realize the fact that
England's onJy route to our Southern cotton fields
leads through the oily of Washington, and that it
is safer to consent to the restoration of our Union
than to risk the possible European consequences of
intervention to achieve our destruction, however
desirable this may be in view of the future control
of the Affala of North America.
Meantime - we aro confident that this Mason-
Slidell affair, without interrupting oar relations of
pease with England, will have a great moral
effect in favor of our Government and our cause
throughout the European continent. But if England
is determined, in spite of her own code and long
practice, to make demands upon this Government
such as indicated in the London Observer, she
must, of course, assume all the responsibility of a
VW?' between the two nations. It will not probably
enter the Mind of a single American, for a moment,
even after reading the news in our columns to-day,
that Mason and Slidell will be surrendered to the
English Government.
•
[From the New York Trilmme.]
In this emergency we do not presume to say
what the Government should or should not do.
Whatever course it may adopt will be determined
by mature and careful consideration of all the rights
and duties of the case. Meanwhile, the first and

The Lakes and the War with Great
• Britain.
That the meeting in Liverpool upon the reception
• the news of the Treat affair was foolish, cannot
be doabted, ret we must believe that it espremed
the feelings of a very large class in England. It
was held in the cotton salesrooms, under the au
spices of that great interest which has suffered most
by the American rebellion. The great Southern
staple has, from the beginning of the rebellion,
been the key to the sentiment of Great Britain to
wards the United States. Hence the avidity with
which the Liverpool meeting seized upon the arrest
of Munn and Slidell as a convenient opportunity
for war,
We do not, however, believe that hostilities be
tween the two countries are imminent, yet it would
be recklessness to disguise the fact that their rela
tions are in a Rosition of great delicacy. Great
Britain is certainly making, prodigious exertions to
put the Canadian frontier in a state of defence.
This may ho only precautionary—a provision for
the failure of honest diplomacy to preserve peace,
or it may he part of the preparation to acknow
ledge the Southern Confederacy, and thus almost
inevitably to be drawn into our civil war.
It cannot be denied that an alliance of the rebels
with a great maritime and military Power would
be a blow to us the consequences of which can
hardly be exaggerated—especially if that Power is
Great Britain. The contiguity of our territory to
Canada, and the utterly defenceless state of our
frontiers, would make war with her a terrible cala
mity to us. We have only one war Steamer upon the
lakes. Prom Oswego to Pond du Lac, we have
not a single fortification which could bear a day's
siege. The Detroit, the St. Clair, and the St.
Mary's rivers would all be nt the merey of
few thousand well-disciplined veteran troops.
There are already ten thousand regular soldiers
in Canada, with arms and equipments in abun
dance for large numbers more. Great attention,
too, has, during several years, been paid to the
volunteer militia, from which, for purposes of de
fence, a large army may be_drawn. Besides these,
th e province literally swarms with pensioners,
half-pay officers, and, on the frontiers, organized
military police, whose experience and numbers can
be made instantaneously available for military ope
rations. Another element of fighting strength,
which Great Britain has never hesitated to use in
her conflicts with this country, are the bands of
semi-civilized Indians, who are scattered in greater
or less numbers from the Lake St. Clair to the Red
River of the North, most of whom are under the
absolute influence of the traders of the Hudson's
Bay Company, and could easily be tempted, by the
rich booty (to them) of the southern coasts of the
lakes, to undertake predatory eoterFises. The
Indians in our own territory are generally loyal,—
particularly those of Michigan, of which State most
of them are citizens,—and might, from their con
nection with their Canadian brethren, be made effi
cient to win them to neutrality, if not to our actual
assistance.
When we survey the lake frontier, beholding
the mines, towns, cities, rich farms, and seats of
manufacture, and contrast them with the sparsely
settled, often inhospitable Canadian borders, we
see that we are in no condition for war with Eng
labd, aed that we must avoid It so long as we oar,
with national honor. If hostilities shobld com
mence between now and spring the lakes would
be hers for an indefinite period. Our commerce
would be at her mercy, because she is already
preparing for the contingency.
In view of these facts it is the duty of Congress
to take immediate measures for the defence of the
country. Great nations always watch the military,
preparations of their neighbors with suspicion,
especially when they are made at plate where
one can do the other the greatest amount of harm.

DEAR Ste: Since my last letter, the weather hero has
income you Pcvc . rel owl Pio sufferings of my into, fer
want of necessary clothing, have increased to such an
extent that I have decided to appeal (through your influ
ence with the Philadelphia press) to the pin lie for such
nrticke of clothing so will protect them from the severity
or the winter. Tho men are without blankets, many
without overcoats, and none of them have a change of
clothing; in fact, possessing nothing except what they
wore when captured—hence, they must necessarily suffer
from cold, and especially from vermin, through absolute
inability to Rao themsch•es clean. Blanket% drawom
alibis, shoes, and stockinee are necessary for them to be
comfortable title winter. My men (Company It, thirty
two in number.) are all from Philadelphia; hence, their
sufferings need only be made known, and speedy relief
will follow. I would suggest that yourself (if convenient)
would act as agent, and send the contributions to me,

THE NATIONAL GUARDS' RD:SIM - EXT.—Within
the past few weeks, the city has been fairly overrun with
recruiting etatione for the Finetieth Regiment, Colonel
Peter Lyle. Their splendid full brass band has also pa
raded from station to station, and every effort has
been made to fid the regiment. Colonel Lyle has been
quite successful in the extra efforts, and could easily have
filled his muster rolls were it not that he refuses to take
any recruits except those whose meal and physimil quali
fications are up to the high standard of the old National
Guards. He is determined there shall not be a man in
his regiment with whom essociati• n in camp or on the
battle• field would be unpleasant, and this rule is rigor
ously observed by the recruiting officers.
The cemp of the Guards," near this city, is equal to
the West Point encampments of regulars, while arrange
ments are made for the comfort of the men which we base
never seen elsewhere. In Colonel Lyle the regiment pos
nun a eeldier and commander of whom the Common.
wealth may be proud. In military knowledge and ex.
perience he is second to no volunteer colonel in the her
vice, while his manly and courteous bearing and his warm
heart make him equally the exemplar of his men.
RIOT AND ASSAULT AND BATTERY.—Henry
Scheesex, Charles Smith, Benjamin Heaney, Wm. Late,
Thomas Murphy, and Walley Kerbauch,were arrested
yesterday-rn
morning by Oftleer Pt-efts, an d taken before
Recorder Enue, upon the chaege of riot and assault and
battery. The complainant was Joseph Brady. The par.
ties are all oystermen, who are in the habit of congre
gating about Sprucs.street wharf. It seems that some
of the defendants had been using threatening language
towards Brady, and lied been held to bail to keep the
peace. On Thursday night last Brady was in a tavern,
and the party fell upon him. He maintained his position,
however, and soon got the best of his assailants, giving
some of them quite a severe drubbing. The accused then
pot etieks and clubs with which they intended to beat
Brady, but the latter was concealed in a store by a pan
ttemau, and escaped by a back entrance. The defendants
were held for a further hearing.

POLICEMEN'S OVERCOATS.-011r policemen
are gradually appearing upon the streets with their new
.
eyercenta. The gitrinente aro supplied to ft dirimon as
soon as they are finished. We observed, yesterday, in
different parts of the city, quite a large number of men
who had donned their new coats. They all looked re
markably well, the addition to their uniform being a
great improvemet t. The whole force, it is expected,
will be in full dress in a few days, a n d then a parade
and review 'by the Mayor and city Councils will take
place.
ASSAtLT UPONA SErtnEANT.—Two oar-drivers
got into a fight at the Baltiptore depot yeaterday. Ser.
geant Alexander, who attempted to separate the comba
tants, was set upon by both of them, and pretty roughly
handled. The assailants were arrested and taken to the,
First-district station-house: They gave the names of
John Elliot and John Campbell. The accused were each
held in 5500 bailfor trial.
CHAROED WITH ROBBERY.—A colored plan,
named James Robinson, was arrested yesterday morning
between 12 and 1 o'clock, while passing down Seventh
Wag_ He had upon his head a large box, which con
tained quite a variety of wearing apparel. The cloth

dwelling house on &mum street, between Seventh and
Eighth. The prisoner had a hearing before Ald. Swift,
and was committed to answer.
Ax ENTRY THlEF.—Before Alderman
Patchel, yesterday morning, a yrung man, named John
Allen, was charged with robbing entries of dwellings in
the vicinity of Sixth and Spruce streets. He was ar

umbrella from a house. John was aent to Illoyamensing.
SENTENCE OF A COUNTERFEITER.—Iohn
Busted, who was convicted at the last term of the
United States District Court of making counterfeit coin,

Nineteenth ward, and when the police made the arrest
they found a large qua itity of counterfeit coin, in vari

A NEW CHANNEL FOR COAL TRANSPORTA-
TioN.—The present monopoly of the Northern Central
Italtread in the matter of coat transportation for the sup

induced a number of the coal dealers in Baltimore to
Witte in the mitcrprisc of obtaining coal from PhilatielT.
phis, by way of the Susquehanna and. Tide Water Canal
and on the river by schooners. Large supplies aro now
being sent through these channels, and the coal yards on
the wharves present an active appearance. The coal is
of the beet quality of Lehigh and Schuylkill anthracite
'marries, and is norehased at the rate of 55.62045.75
per ton. It is well known that all the coal carried over
the Northern Central is forwarded directly through to
Washington, where tiro same quality used in Baltimore is
selling at .5.9 per ton. There'll Ivry little bituminous coal

It thrs appears that at the expiration of ten days after
the day of the election, the only votes of which actual
knowledge could be had (viz., the county votes,) showed
that Clio Contestant had then no cause to make any eons=
plaint. No petitioners could then take the oath required
to give validity to a petition contesting the returns.
the right of a party to complain of an undue election
or return is absolutely fixed on the tenth day after the
day of the election, so as to require him Ikea to contest
the return, and not afterwards, the entire proceeding as
to him must be considered as terminated, and no other
return of votes can be received to affect his rights.
It would he absurd to suppose that the Legislature in
tentionally passed, on the same day, two laws, one of
which allowed voles to he taken, but not to ho enumera
ted by the lleturn Judges until Nos - ember, and which
votes are to affect the candidates voted for, while the
other law obliges the parties complaining of the undue
election or return of any officer to file their objections to
the entire returns of such election, within ton days from
the election day.
If the military vote is applicable to the office of Clerk
of the OrpliallS' Court, tlO efffinglit iii PM( of this ma
to'', mast be that such vote, however unfair and fraudu
lent, must be received as returned, without opportunity
of examination or contest, - though the effect of it be to
change the result of the election against a party who has
an unquestioned majority of the legal votes cast within
the county.
I lane that tbe broad principle Of justice is; that no
return of votes shall effect the rights of a candidate,
without affording him the opportunity of showing that
such return is fraudulent. The wholesome principle of
law is, that fraud vitiates whatever it touches; that no
kW shall b 0 construed eo as to protect or sitleid it That
as soon no it appears, the door is thrown wide open to
admit the evidence by which it can be fully exposed.
To believe that the Legislature intended that the elec
tive franchise, exercised by the resident citizens of a
county, under all the stringent rules provided to protest
its fair enjoyment, may be affected and destroyed by the
votes of others, taken under no such sanction beyond the
limits of the State, and where frauds may be perpetrated
without the possibility of punishment, without affording
some means of investigating such frauds and preventing
their effect, is to charge this law makers with a deliberate
disregard of the very rights which the laws made by
them se strongly profess i 5 IhreMei
It must be observed that She candidate for office is not
the only party interested in such a contest as this. The
people have the right to demand that their suffrages,
honestly cast, shall not -be overcome by fraud, front
whatever martsr it may some, and that gush fraud,
when alleged to exist, shall be investigated.
If the Legislature intended that the army vote should
extend to county officers, then we consider it certain
that the right to contest an illegal return of each Vdte
was also intended to be given.
The act conferring upon the Courts of Common Pleas
the power to inquire and determine upon the complaint,
authorizes the examination of the returns of the elec
tions, If the action of the Return Judges upon the re
turns of the army voles must, by the express direction of
the general election law, be had on the second Tuesday of
NoVertiller, and the effectof such vote is then first legally
ascertained, we cannot escape the conclusion that such a
construction of the other act, passed on the same day, as
would prevent any examination of the return. of Altai
vote, is entirely inconsistent with the whole scope and
meaning of the law, and should not be adoptei. It seems
far more reasonable to believe that the military vote was
not intended to be cast for county officers than that it
hould ho applicable to foal elections, and that no oppor
tunity should be given to inquire into its fairneas and le
gality.
We are, therefore, brought to the conclusion, that for
the purposes of this &Igo, in width the ectitriSS of the
mil tary votes were not known within the "ten days,"
and to investigate the charges made affecting the regu
larity and fairness of the military vote alone, the peti
tion has not been filed too late, and that the ten days
mentioned in the act, if applicable at all to this case, can
not be held to refer to the day of election, but to the pe
riod when the result of such vote is legally made known.
The motion to dismiss the petition is refused. The
motion to amend the petition, by the addition of new
specifications of fraud, was dismissed.
Mr. Brewster then moved that flit respondent bo re,
quired to file an answer. This led to a lengthy discus
sion, M the conclusicu of which the court decided that
the petitioners amnia go on with the ease, and hereafter,
IA ben something definite was proved, the respondent
should file an answer. The counsel for Mr. Lawrence
next desired the court to fix an. early . day for, coot

Injustice to Public Men.
[From the Baltimore Clipper.]
Every observer of the characteristics of the pre
sent unhappy contest must have been struck with
the unusual acerbity and bitterness with which
public men are assailed, by those professing the
same general political principles. Republican
journalists do not hesitate to assail, in language
of vulgar vituperation, the President they were
actively instrumental in electing The slightest
diem-game in litieel views is visited with charges,
little short of treason, against the highest officers of
the Government ; and statesmen and generals share
alike in the torrent of abuse and calumny which is
poured upon their heads.
An especial mark for the shafts of envy and de
traction has been the Secretary of War, who, is
charged at one time with gross favoritism, at another
with downright corruptions, and incapacity for the
discharge of the duties of his office.
Sonia of these charges are made in ignorance of
the nature and extent of the duties devolved by
the war on this distinguished public functionary,
whilst others are the offspring of sheer malice, re
sulting from disappointed expectations. So far
from having proved unequal to the discharge of
Isis duties, Gen. Cameron ' ig the estimation of in
telligent and honest men, has merited the highest
encomiums for the able manner in which he has
.conducted the vast and complicated machinery of
the War Department during the present contest.
When the portfolio of this Department was mg
mitted to his charge, its organization involved the
conduct and management of an army scarcely ex
ceeding 20,000 men of regular troops, recruited and
officered under laws and regulations long systeina
tite•i and perfeetly underateed.
Since he came into office the army has swollen
to more than half a million of men ! A new or
ganization, with new rules and regulations for its
government, has been successfully adopted. Under
this'organization, subject to these rules and regu
lations, this vast body of men has been brought into te';'-:-, , er lieeerzer.
the field, fed, clothed, armed, and rendered ef
fective, with a machinery, designed in the begin
ning to provide for an army hardly equal in num
bers to the present contingent of one of the smaller
Elates.
A commissariat and quartermaster's department
were improvised, and rendered instantly equal to
the exigencies of the alarming crisis, inaugurated
almost at the moment he assumed the direction of
our military affairs. •
The capacity that organized and administered
the War Department in such a manner as to enable
it to provide, as it has done, for the pressing exi
gencies following each other in such rapid succes
sion, during the het eight months, cannot he other
than of the highest order. When it is recollected
that the North and West bad been designedlystrip
ped of arms, and of almost even means, both of of
fence and defence, by the traitor Floyd and his
coadjutors, it becomes a subjeet of admiration, with
candid men, how the present Secretary was able
to meet the almost awful emergency of our situa
tion, which met him at the threshold of his office,
with the promptitude and success which have
crowned his efforts.
e. Since the days of Louis XIV., and his great
ministers of finance and war, Colbert and Louvois,
the resources and energy displayed by Secretary
Cameron, in creating, feeding, clothing, and
equipping such a host as is now in arms to uphold
the Union, have had no parailei,
It is true that Secretary Chase bore a full share
of the responsibility, anti has been largely instru
mental in developing the financial resources of the
country, end providing for the emergency east upon
the nation by the treason of Jefferson .Davis and
his co-conspirators. But, conceding to Mr. Chase
all that is due to him for purity of purpose, inte
grity, and the traneoendant ablity with which he
has ndminietered the finellBB.4. it is to Simon
Cameron arid General Scott that we owe it, that
the capital was saved from the degradation of fall
ing into the hands of the Confederated traitors,
who had contrived its seizure. It is to General
Cameron, also, it is due that. we now have an army
f... 1 foot able to hold treason in check in every part
of the country, and mail it in the very seat of its
origin and present power.

Under such a state of things, who that is not
either ignorant or unjust could expect that the

moment on terms as favorable, and with the same
providence and caution, as if it bad been done in
pursuance of a system ong in use, and adequate to
the magnitude of the new pressing exigency of
the impending crisis Not only was the old sys
tem inadequate to the new state of things, but was,
on the contrary, a hindrance and a drawback in
the performance of the vastly-exteraled duties of
the Department. The hleeretary, therefore, instead
of moving onward in the beaten track, with agents
trained to pace a given round, was compelled, in
the midst of a widely-extended, growing, and formi
dable revolution, to change an old system Ilud in
troduce a new one ) capable of providing for the ex•

on With all these new and complicated duties on his

treated with the management of the vast machinery
of the Department were improvident, or oven cor

circumstances, was it ever otherwise in this country
or any other ? No honest or candid man will assert
that it was. And every intelligent man will wonder
how an much was accomplished, with means so

A Woman Burned to Death Before Her
Husband's Eyes.
[From the Cleveland Plaindeatler, Dee. 6.]
About 10 o'clock last evening the inhabitants of
Hamilton street were startled by the cries of
"Murder. murder !" which exclamations were
found to proceed from a man standing liefore the
bouae No. 168, and at the same time smoke was
seen issuing from the windows in dense volumes.
Terribly-excitcd persons immediately began to
hurry to the spot, end soon an ilifln6llgo asowt
was collected. Upon investigation, it was disco
vbred that Mrs. Kipp, the wife of the man who
was uttering the cries, had been burned to death.
The facts of the case are these
Mr. and Mrs. Kipp were sitting up together,
having a sociable, comfortable time. Mrs. Kipp
was knitting, and her husband reading. Finally
he laid down upon the lounge and feel asleep.
The light of the lamp, a coal-oil one, gettins•
dim, she proeured the can of oil and proceede'd
to replenish it. Holding it too near the flame
the oil ignited, and a terrible explosion followed,
blowing the can into fragments, and setting fire
to the poor woman's clothes, which burned with
frightful rapidity. The husband, awakened by the
noise, sprung to his feet, when an awful sight met
his eyes. Rig wife was writhing in the agonies of
death—her hair entirely burned from her head,
and her clothing entirely gone, with the exception
of a shred of her drawers. A portion of the room
was also on fire, but was very soon exting n ished.
Air. and hire, Kipp £4l - 0 very respectable German
people. There is nothing about the street now to in
the least indicate the terrible tragedy that has just
transpired. One or two sympathizing friends were
condoling with the bereaved man, some sitting upon
the door-step, quietly smoking together and talking
coolly of the event. She left three children—the
oldest only four years, and. the youngest a Little in
