Not suspecting anything wrong she
made an attotnpt to open the box, fail
ing in which she called ber husband.
He commenced to work at it, but fear
ing a design to do barm, be did it very
cautiously, and upon removing the lid,
be discovered that tbe box contained
about three pounds of powder and that
matches bad been so placed just be
neath the lid as to ignite tbe powder
when the top should be removed ; but
by tbe careful removal of it tbe antici
pated effects were obviated.
Information of the plot was commu
nicated to Chief Heins, at the Central
Station, and the detectives were set to
work to discover the perpetrator of tbe
murderous act. Y'esterday, a young
man, named Edward Wagner, 21 years
old, a son-in-law of Charles Herring,
was arrested on suspicion, and locked
up at the Central Station for a bearing.
The belief of Wagner's guilt is found
ed npon an alleged hostility to tbe
mother-in-law, and a resemblance of
the writing in the note to that of the
defendant in other papers.' The bad
feeling of the son-in-law is attributed
to the fact of his wanting to go into
business with tbe fatber-in-law, which
Mrs. Herring opposed. Charles Her
ring had a daughter killed by her bus
band in Jnne of last year, the husband
following the murder by the commis
sion of suicide. The affair created
much excitement at the time, by rea
son of the double crima and of tbe cir
cumstances attending tbe commission.

Pittsbcro, July 27 Rain commencud

evening, lt rained hard up to five o'clock
his morning. " The worst dainie was done
at Burheri rn'a, in AMe? lien City, where
some twenty bouses were swejit away.
Durnjt the day heavy showers took place,
but they proved onfy preparatory to' the
deluge which came down upon us between
eight and nine o'clock in the evening. The
rain was accompanied with vivid lightning,
and for over an hour the storm was fat and
furious. ' The water came dowa in sheets,
A tearful loss of lite is reported trom
Allegheny, and a pecuniary loss beyond
that caused by tbe late destructive conflag
ration. At the Union depot tbe tunnel of
the Pan Handle railroad was Hooded with
some four feet of water, ind of course be
came impassable for trains, and tratiic for
the time tx lug on that road was suspended.
In the Thirty-sixth ward were felt tbe
most costly results of the delngc.
The tremendous body of water which
swept down the bills into Sawmill run raised
that stream with great ra; Wily aud sent it
whirling with tremendous velocity and
power to the-civer. A larye quantity of
barrels and lumber were carried away and
fast piled np against the new iron bridge
which did not long resist the fury of as
saull. Below, the bridge by which Carson
street crosses the river, was swept from its
abutments.' So great was its torce that a
large number of barges, with coal, were
torn from their fosteuings aud swept down
the river.
A tremendous lxndside occurred, cov
ering the rails of the Pan Handle railrJul
to the depht of about eight feet.. A train
cotuii g towards the city was stuck there,
and was not dug out till nearly morning.
Another train was bottled up just below
SwmiU run. The damage to the track will
be great.
Tbe damage done to the business hsnscs
is very great, and cannot be computed at
this time.
In Allegheny the greatest damage was on
Spring uarden avtrfne in the Seventh ward.
In one tavern a number of persons were
seited when water commenced to rie. A
mail named Iless thought to attempt an es
cape by swimuiiug and waa drowued. A
sou of Alderninn Bolster lost his tile iu a
vain endeavor to lescne a balie.
Houses are thrown together in heaps and
some twenty-live or thirty bouses on the
avenues are washed awav, and many
buildingi not totally destroyed are se
riously damaged. The water rosA to a
height of fifteen feet and (loaded the first
floors of all the hollies and in many places
the second stories. Several houses were
swept into ilie middle of the streets and
others were carried hundreds of yards and
shatteied to pieces. A bouse containing
two r three families, at the rear end of
Centre street, was destroyed, and it is sup
posed all the inmates were drowned.
The track of destruction is marked by
wrecks of dwelling, bridges, immense
heaps of stone, large piles of drill wood
and the torn and ragged sides of the hills.

riTT.-Bi-Ro, July -1. The accounts of

200 persons, and the loss of projierty will
be proportionately large. The extent of
territory damaged is not less than twvuty to
twenty-five miles in diameter.
A very startling story is in circulation in
some of the West End Clubs, nays a Lon
don correspondent. It is stated that tbe
son of a well-known Earl who entered the
army has bjen driven mad by the j iking
gibes and tricks of his brother oCioers.
tfoiue t;uiu ago he was bitten by a dog, and
since then the gallant fellow's comrades
have taken to barking at him. The other
night they are said to have pin a tame bear
in his bed-room, locking the door as soon
as ho entered. Ho escaped by the window,
and tied across tho cvuntry a raving lunatic,
until he was taken into Ihe hospital ward of
a workhouse.

"Tht Minister's H'ooing," "iVy H'i and ,"
and other powerf nl storiex, each the liter

promises a like genuine and wholesome
sensation. It bears directly on social topics
of interest, embracing the romance of
you till ul companionships, the brightness of
happy bome-ille, the spicy complications of
neighborhood associations, and such follies
and profound domestic miseries as have led
to the widespread temperance movement of
the day.

of thousands any edition of any original
work ever published save;the Bible. Her
book two years ago, "My Wif e and I," out
sold every contenijorary. Such a pun- and
ennobling story as "We and Our Neighbors"
should be read in every home. This new
Serial is now running exclusively in the
