,_prosecutrix. This Ls a i_.zoinewhat singular
case. It appears that both parties claim
one' mid the same man --whose mune is Jno.
Kedirv—for • a husband. The story runs
that 'John was first married to Bridget

ago .Tulin left Ireland anti Bridget, and
came to this cotrntry. Ilere,f 'after a brief
courtship, he was united to

day at seeing Bridget, his first choice, who
appeared before hiurin all her loneliness
fresh from. the "sod," so impressing John
with tiro pleasant memories of "Lang

-• Webster street, hi the Sixth ward, which
has for some months been inhabited with
" _out molestation by Mr. Keday and his law
' fill wife—"which is .Bridget." On the 20th
of last January, however, Eliza, it - appears,
went to the house on Webster street forthe
purpose of seeing, about child or some 1
' children which she claimed belonged to her.
• A light ensued,. in which, it was alleged,
Bridget struck Eliza, not only with her fist,
— but a very severe blow upon the head with
an iron poker. The :jury: jury convicted, and
the defendant was sentenced to pay a fine
of one dollar and the costs of prosecution.
TRIAL FOR ARSON.

years, was placed on trial on a charge of
arson. Jarnes Clark, of Peebles township,
"was the prosecuting witness. He testified
• that•on the night of the sth inst., at - eleven
' O'clock, he discovered his.;house on •fire.
!The flames when discovered, had not gained
Jurieh headway, and were easily extin
lipliehed. About a half hour afterwardi fire
vaiadiscovered in another house near Mr.
Clark's. This house was ocenpied by an
- • • uncle of the young neFress,lwho satisfying
hiniself that the building was fired by an
`incendiary, instituted inquiries which
elicited from the defendant a confession
' that she had set both buildings on fire. She
said - -“she was mad at Clark; and Wanted to
roast him." Nothing Was offered by the
defense. The jury found a verdict of
guilty. The prisoner was remanded.

Obstruction on the Connelsville Railroad—
Iminense :Hass' of Rock and Earth oh the
•
Track--Damage to Everson, Preston &
CO. , s Iron 31111.
An accident occurred about ten o'clock
yesterday morning, which will' for a
time be a serious impediment to business ;
on the Pittsburgh and Connellsville
Rail
road, in the transmission of freight at least;
and will incur upon the Company heavy
expense. At ten minutes before ten o'clock
yesterday morning, only a few minutes be
fore the express train was duO at Everson,
Preston (t.'Co.'s Iron Mills, an immense
mass of rock and earth, becoming detached
from the hill, which at that point rises to a
height of a hundred feet or more aboYethe i.
level of the track, and seemingly overhang
ing it, fell instantaneously, blockading the
• track for over a hundred and fifty , feet
length, and destroying a portion of the iron
mill, more than hfty feet long.. At
the time of the . accident the mill
Was in full operation, . and ten or
twelve Men were engaged at work at the
rolls under that portion of the building des
troyed, which was a shed thirty feet wide
by fifty feet in length, attached to the main
building, but fortunately they all escaped
uninjured. They had been anticipating a
slide•for severld days, and it appears were
On the lookout for it.. The damage done to
theufill, beyond the destruction of the shed
mentioned, is comparatively small, as none
, of the machinery was initired to any ex
r tent. The shed destroyed was not directly
! opposite the mass of fallen earth and rock,
but at the extreme end, which accounts for
the slight damage to the machinery. It
Was an open shed, constructed of heavy
timber girders„ fifty feet long, resting at
either end on nprig)it posts. Those at ! the
lower end, being at the extreme upper end
of the slide were knocked out, consequent
ly the whole structure fell.
The railroad company are by far the great
est siitlerers by the accident, as it will re
quire an incalculable amount of labor to re-',
move the obstacles now on the track, and if
the weather should continue Wet there is a
strong probability of another fall fully as
large as the first: Mr. Itughart, president
of the road, was on the ground in a very.
short time after the occurrence, and with
his usual energy and promptness in attend
ing to the interests of .the company, had a
wrecking train and squad of hands at Work
removing the earth and rock, within an
hour after the accident. FortunatelY for the
company they have engines and cars on
both sides of the obstrUction Which will
facilitate its removal, as it will enable them
to work at both ends, and will prevent it
from seriously interfering with travel while
the work is being done, and We are inform.:
ed that the passenger trains will make their
regular trips as usual;passengers and bast,
gage being transferred from one train to the
other at that point.
