siderable exultation in Jacksonville to
night over the action of the City Com
missioners. Under the new city charter
act the Commissioners met to -ate the
boundaries anil divide Jacksonville into
ward.

the city girrernment, but by shrewd
management, to-night, the city was de
villed into tiix white and three negro
wardti. giving each ward two aldermen
apiece, and these aldermen control the
city government. The mayor, by the
new charter, is a mere figure head, and,
an he will lie elected by the Republicans,
the citizens don't care.

CisciXXATI, June 23. Mr. George W.
Trenholm, Comptroller of the Currency,
has arrived here and lias taken charge of
the Fidelity National Bank. De Camp,
wlio has been named as receiver, will
proti&bly decline, as an acceptance
would compel him to give up his present
connection with tlie Metropolitan Na
tional Rank. Interest is turning to the
question of what assets can be made
available for the debts of tlte bank. If
the president and directors can lie as
sessed to the extent of their resource it
will produce about fl.MOO.OW at a rough
estimate. There have been no new ar
rests and no new developments. It will
necessarily require much time and
lalxir to make a thorough examination.
NOT Mrdl Hl'KT BT THE FAILURE.
ClxcissATl. O., June 23. A special
from Columbus says the Fidelity Na
t tonal Bank, of Cincinnati, was the ae
credited.correspondent for a majority of
the hanks in Columlsis, and nearly all
of them will lie losers, tliough not in
large amounts. The sums exteml all the
way from $. to flj.OOO. The hankers
here refuse to talk about the failure, so
far as it relates to themselves, and say
tliey are able to take care of themselves,
and exiiress the belief that Columbus
would have scarcely been known in that
connection except for the hasty action
of Brooks. Butler A Co. in getting out
an attachment to secure themselves in
a $.0,000 claim. Other bankers insist
that tlw attachment is of no account, as
the wreck bad already passed into the
hands of tlie f Jovernment and was lie
yond civil action.

of the American Exchange National
Bank affairs. Tlie lank presidents are
also said to have met, and after looking
over the hank's statement were entirely
satisiied tliat it was solvent, and decided
to rentier it any assistance that it might
need. The bank paid its clearing house
balance this morning, and was able to
attend to all its business as usual. Tlie
hunk's losses by the closing of the Fidelity
is stated, on good authority, at f2!M,lMio,
the claims against tlie Fidelity lieing re
garded as next to worthless. Tlie bank's
surplus is $90,(M)0, ami the directors have
decided to make a special assessment on
iU stockholders to make up $200,M0.
This will pl.ice it on sound footing, and
make it able to guard against a" emer
gencies.

New York Herald.
Havre de Grace, Md., June 22. This
place was the scene of a shocking colli
sion about six o'clock yesterday evening,
and the Philadelphia, Wilmington and
Baltimore Railroad depot and tlie track
near it present a horrible picture. Tlie
south bound train, due here at 5:5$, left
the station and ran but a few yards
when it was met by the norh liouml
fast express, running at a high rate of
speed, and a frightful wreck en
sued. The fast express struck the bag
gage car of the south liound train
just as it struck the switch, and
crushing it ran into the parlor cars lie
hind it, turned two of them over and
completely demolislied them. The en
gine, continuing on, telescoped another
coach ls-fore it could lie stopied. Tlie
people on the north bound train received
only some slight shocks. Tlie south
liound train of six cars was very full of
assengers, and nearly all of them were
more or less hurt.
KILLED AND I.N J r RED.
There was but one person killed:
Mr. Alexander Gautrom, of Washing
ton. D. C, about thirty years old. He
was in the car in which the engine stop
ied, was struck by it, crushed lietween
the seats, and ln-forehe could lie released
was scalded to death by the escaping
steam.

T. A. Bland. Washington, head
scalded; A. Brice, New York, arm and
liead cut; B. M. Baker, Baltimore, left

the head; Rev. Herbert Smith, Balti
more, leg and hand cut.
There were several others whose names
could not lie learned. The engineer of
the north liound engine stuck to his
post, but the fireman jumped of before
the collision and received some internal
injuries.
Five or six physicians weie immedi
ately summoned and rendered all the
assistance to the wounded tossihle.
THE ACCIDENT AND .TS CAl'SE.
The dead victim was taken in charge
by the agent, placed in the baggage
room and later was turned over to Cor
oner Penning. The more seriously in
jured were taken to hotels ami proiier
care given them. As soon as an engine ar
rived from the south a iart of the Con
gressional train was made up with the
engine and baggage car of the south
bound train ami a greater part of the
assengers of both trains were taken
hack to Baltimore.
Tlte cause of the accident. William
Sargeant, one of the oldest engineers on
the road, says was the refusal of the air
brakes to work. The engine was re
versed, but too late to lie of use.
An inquest will lie held on the liody of
Gautrom to-motrow, and the result is
looked forward to with great interest.

New Boston Junction and Delano.sti uck
yesterday. This is on Contractor
Church's section of the road, and aliout
two hundred and fifty men are thrown
out of work. Tlie affair grew out of a
Sunday drunk, and the determination of
the Slav junta of three upon a spirited
foreign policy. There lias lieen no for
mal demand of an increase of wages.
The men who inspired the rit went
from pit to pit in the cuts and
called on tlie workmen to follow.
Tlie junta did not work, but lived on
contributions which they exacted from
their followers. It was the refusal of
the Italians to pay their tax which de
termined the three on their declaration
of war. Tlie suppression of tlie calial by
the arrest of two of the men will douht-l-ss
have a pacifying effect along the
rood, but war lietween the races is con
tinually breaking out. As a general
tiling tlie comlmtants are left to fight it

PISTOLS AT SHORT RA'UE.
A Lone Maadlac Ouarrel Result ia
Trafody.
New Orleans, La.. June 22. A fatal
affray occurred in Tangipahoa parish
yesterday afternoon, lietween Ir. M. A.
Vamado and L. II. Draughn. two prom
inent citizens of the parish, in which
Vamado was sltot and instantly killed.
Bad feeling liad existed lietween the two
men for some time, which was aggra
vated by the indictment of Draughn two
weeks ago for carrying concealed weai-
ons. It was Is-Heved by Draughn that
Vamado was his prosecutor Is fore the
Grand Jury.
Tlie men met yesterday in a bar-room
wlien Draughn asked Vamado to take a
drink with him. Tlie kitter, Draughn
says, flatly refused and said he did not
want anything to do with Draughn, but
wanted to lie let alone, at the same time
drawing a revolver. Vamado then
walked out of the bar-room and stationed
himself at the door.
Wlien Draughn apprxiched he says
he ask 11I him if he wanted anything
from him. Ilraughn says he replied that
lie did not want any trouble, when Var
nado began cursing him and drew his
revolver again.
St'DDKN AND DEADLY KIKE.
Draughn, as quick as a Hash, drew bis
own revolver and coiiiit4iicd firing. Si
cIumc was he to Varnado that the latter's
coat was svt on fire by the flashes of the
pistol. Tbre bullets taik elfe-t in Varna
do's side within a radius of six inches.
One (Kissed through the left arm and
one grazed the left wrist. Varnado did
not have a chance to fire a shot, as proli
ably the first bullet from Draughn's re
volver Kissed through his heart and he
fell dead.
Draughn walked on to Mr. II. J.
Saunder's store, and handing him the
revolver said, '"There's the pistol which
did the work." At the time he was
wiping off the blood stains from tbe Kir
rel of the weaMn.
A PLEA OF SELF-DEFENSE.
Draughn insisted that the shooting was
entirely in self defense, that Varnado
had lieen after him for two years, i-rso-cuting
him, and bail brought it all iisn
himself.
15-ith men have many friends, and
there was intense excitement in the lit
tle community over the tragedy.
Draughn was promptly ni rested by
Slieriff Mix. So strong was the feeling
among Varaado's friends against the
prisoner that the sheriff, fearing an at
tempt would lie made to take him out of
the hands of the law, brought him to
this city at a late hour List night and
confined him, fi ir U tter security, in the
parish prison.
DESERTIMi THE I'NION.
Rrieklaye llat Islled Willi the Man
agement of the Strike.
Chicago, June 23. The affairs of the
Bricklayers' Union are rapid lyapproach
ing a crisis and to-inoirow night's meet
ing is liable to be an exciting one. The
German element has Iwcome disgusted
with the management anf will make a
determined effort to unseal them from
the management.
At the recent meeting at Battery D
Armory, it was decided to send delegates
to the Amalgam-ited T nub's Council, but
this decision has lieen nullified by the
officers of the Union. As a coiisep-ieiiee
the other trades have liceome almost hos
tile to the bricklayers, and w 11 ne are
only working to defeat them in the
present strike.
The hod caifiers. lathers, car-nters,
phisterers, derrick men and sbiim fitters
are now working umhi buildings with
non-union men liricklayers and decline
to strike at tlie request of the walking
delegates of the bricklayers.
late yesterday aftermsin nine pressed
brick masons called uiwin the exi'cutive
committee of master masons and an
nounced their readinits to go to work.
Tliey told the committee that hundreds
of men were 11 j ion the ragged edge and
would leave the Union L.fore the end of
the week.
The cause of this wholesale desertion
is found in the fact that the funds in the
bricklayers treasury are exhausted. Ire
i lent Von Keller informed all applicants
yesterday that there would lie no money

New York, June 22. The progress

cured to-day in tlie case of Sheeny Mike
Kurtz, who is cliarged with complicity
in the Marks diamond robls-ry in this
city ui Feliruary, 18HL On the former
trial Kurtz was found guilty, but the
conviction was set aside on appeal, on
tlie ground that an alleged confession of
Kurtz, related by I lint rut Attorney
Itliodes and a detective, was illegally ob
tained and should not have lacn admit
ted in evidence. To overcome this, the
prosecution this afternoon produced

AN" ALLEOEII JAIL CONFIHEXt'E.
The witness dctosed that he was ar
rested in Jacksonville at the instance of a
hank for making drafts on Herring &
Co. when I e had no authority to do so.
He declared that he had been drinking
heavily at the time and that he had
made the acquaintance of Kurtz the day
after he was placed in jail, and that Kurtz
then told him that he had beard that
Billy Porter I ia 1 "blowed" on him, but

him that he and Porter agreed lo do a
job and that tbe former was sent out to
prosiect. After visiting Providence. It.
I., and Allmny, N. Y be came to Troy
and selicted Marks' place. Harding,
with great minuteness of detail, then
went on to describe all aliout the rohliery
and the route of flight, exactly as Rhode
and the detective told it on the first trial.
The similarity between the two stories
was very marked, and it was noticeable
that Harding made no reference to tbe
detective whatever.
A tVXEl'KED WITNESS.
On cross-examination by e -SHaker
Patterson Harding admitted that he saw
the detective officer in New York last
week, and he stated that until he fold
the story in court to-day he luid told it
to nobody, except a Mr, Cioier, in Flor
ida, in February, 1841. He, however,
told portions of it to Mr. Rhodes yester
day. Before the court adjourned this
evening Mr. Patterson hnd contused
Harding so much that he could not tell
the numlier of tho.house or the name of
the street he lived in or the place he doc
business. He says he is a cotton broker.
Harding did not create a very favorabls
impression. His cross examination will
lie continued in the morning,
ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
A Maaa fuifo Wrecked aad a Woman'a
Heart llroaea.
CiLr.N"iw, Pa., June 22. On Monday
last Walter Wade, a ltold, dashing stock
and provision sieculator, came home
from California to fulfill a promise of
marriage with Miss Fanny I-Vkcrt,
which was to take place at noon on
Thursday. The most elalsirate premra
tions bail lieen made, ami the relatives
and friends of the young bidy wu:tcd
with pleasure for the happy event. But
Wade's recent ill luck stuck the hicu
lative field, drove him to despair, and
rather than face the disappointment
which would follow he attempted sui
cide on Wednesday and now lies lioie
lessly insane at the home of
his parents, some distance from
this place. Walter Is the only son
of J. Werner Wade who soon after his
marriage fell heir to a large fortune.
After the young man hail completed his
collegiate studies and graduated with
high honor he decided to take a trip to
California, and so informed his jtarcntM,
They entreated him to remain at home,
but to no purpose. Ap'aling to bis fa
ther, lie said: "Loan me $1,000 ami I will
return it with interest." His father im
mediately gave him a ckeck for the
amount. The next day he started for
California. Four years afterward his
family and friends were surprised to see
hi ni arrive home. He entered his fa
ther's house as though his aliscnce bad
been but a day, drew up a chair, and
taking from a well filled purse f 12 40 he
handed it to his father, saying: "Here
is the lion-owed money, with 0 per cent,
interest,"
This was all so rapidly done that Mr.
Wade had hardly time to realize who it
was and what it meant. As he related to
his parents he hail met with phenomenal
success, and by shrewd and conservative
sMculation amassed over 1,MMI,IM)0. Af
ter a few days' stay, during which time
lie renewed pledges of love to Miss
Eckert, who in the four years never
doubted his sincerity, dciiarted again.
Letter after letter was received by her,
in which he boosted of his continued
success ami said he was perfecting ar
rangements to come home and remain.
The wedding was fixed for June Iff, hut
bis character was too weak to re
sist the social temptation that now be
set him. A fondness for wine and
champagne suppers took siMcssion,
which was soon followed by every dis
siation. Luck turned againt him, and
lie began to lose money until bis fortune
was nearly swept away. Depressed in
spirit the dashing speculator returned
home. His general apjiearance waa de
jected, but by the aid of a stimulant he
managed to assume his old spirits.
On Wednesday afternoon he remarked
to his father that lie din i red to write
some business letters, and retired to his
room giving instruction, that lie must
not lie intruded upon. Every thing in
tlie way of preparation for the wedding
ajxt day had reached a jioint of com
pleteness, and at 4 p. in. a friend of the
groom called to see hint. As the matt.
was urgent, his father went up stairs
and called him. He called again and,
receiving no answer, forced tlie door
open. He beheld his son suiiended
from a halter slvap, with the end knot
ted around the top of the lied tost, almost
dead from strangulation. He quickly
cut the strap and placed the Imdy on the
bed and summoned a phyaician. Tlie
doctor said tliat another minute would
have produced death, and that, while he
might possibly survive, he wou'd be
hopelessly insane.
The business letters which he was sup
posed to be writing were to Miss Eckel t
and his parents. They told of his dissi
IAtion and losses at gambling awl of his
complete rain. lie smys in his letter to
the young lady:
"F many months I had a constant
run of ill luck. Tlie ardor of gambling,
unlike every other passion, is rather in
creased than dimiui.lHd by loss and dis
apjiointiiient. Without lieing warned by
ill success. I still went on until the last
dollar of my money was gone. 1 then
began to draw on the $10,0(10 you placed
in my band for safe keeping, until tin
day of our marriage, in Kiuall amount.
Following the lient of my evil genius,
sum after sum was taken, ami all alike
buried in that accurml vortex, which
had already swallowed up so much from
me."
To his father be say : "Eighteen
month ago I attachinl my name to a
viper, the proKMvtu of which was a
profitable land scheme. It originated
with sharMr and I was victiiniKod.
Periodical spree were indulged in, and
with a hoH of retrieving some of my
liatses I came east for a change. I was'a

Ills Antoft-raiih on a Brick.
Esirinirton (Me.) (lironU'l.
Half a century ago there was a brick-
?'ard on tlie north side of tlie road at the
not of tlie Ames bill, so called, near
what is now the Mer. Biggs' tannery.
Cine day Captain F. V. (Stewart, then
thirty years of age, was in tliat yard,
and while walking around among the
un burned brick which were scattered
aliout be picked un a sharp stick and
carelcMMly wrote the following iimi one
of tliem: "F. V. Stewart. IMi." Tbe
brick, with otliers, went into the kiln,
was burned, and afterward was hi id into
tlie wall of the Old South Church
(erected that year). Nothing more was
tliougbt of the matter until a sis t time
ago, when, as workmen were cleaning
the brick from the wal's of the church,
Irtirned in the great lire, the identical
Is-ic k was lirought to light as perfect in
haiM as when laid, and with tlie in
scrii'M upon it as plain as jirint. This
valuable relic was carefully iircscrved by
Mrs. J. P. Tbwing until Mr. Stewart
return from IbMton, wlien she presented
it to him. Mr. Stewart is now eighty
years of age, ami lie says it will take a
Isg sura of money to get that brick away
from him.
