CAR ROLL, fc KKKI), d8-3t 101 Baltimore si below Mm Affairs in Kansas gather the following from the Kansas Herald of the 29th ultimo: The Delaware Lands. Vp to Tuesday evening las.t, the 25th, all of range 19 in townships 7, 8, 9 and 10 had been sold. They embrace about 93 sections, or sixty-two thousand seven hundred and twenty acres of land The aggregate amount of the sales up to Tuesday evening is 8116,000, which is an average of about one dollar and eighty-five cents per acre for the lands sold. Prices of Property Property in Leavenworth and vicinity continues in demand and the prices keep up. The Leavenworth hotel, on the corner of Slain and Delaware streets, and owned by Messrs.

Keller Kyle, has been sold to a company for eight thousand dollars cash. We learn the company intend pushing back the frame buildings and erect on the corner a four story brick hotel during the next summer. Lots of 24 feet on Main street have sold during the week for We learn Mr. Latta has sold ten acres adjoining town at 8250 per acre. Mr.

Ream has sold half his 160 acre claim, two miles from town for 82,000 cash, or 825 per acre no improvement on the part sold. John Brubaker sold SO acres of his claim, two miles ftom town, for 82,800, or 835 per aGre; some 8 or 10 acres of it in cultivation. Lecompton. Lecompton was laid off in the spring of 1S55. The capital was located there in August of the same year.

At that time it had only been surveyed. But now there are some 100 buildings in the place, with a population of six or seven hundred. The Telecxaph Across the Atlantic seems to meet with much favor in EagHnd, and the merchants there were interesting themselves in the matter. Mr. Field, in a recent interview with the Manchester Commercial Association, said the actual cost of manufacturing and laj ing the wire would be less than .250,000, if the British government placed at the company's disposal two vessels for laying it.

With the present system of telegraphing, they could transmit through a single line of wires 14,404 words every twenty-four hours; but with the code which was being prepared, they would be enabled to transmit at least 30,000 words within that time between Europe arid America. The shareholders would themselves have to consider what would be a reasonable charge for transmitting a message across the Atlantic, bearing in mind that they could not at present write a letter and receive an answer from New Y'ork in less than twenty days, and from New Orleans in less than twice that period. When once the cable was laid down thev would incur no expenses beyond the support of the establishment at either end; and it was, therefore, desirable that they should keep the wire employed during the whole of the twenty-four hours. If they could not get a sufficient number of messages at 2, he would receive them at 1, or even at los, and rather than have the wire unemployed, he would come down to the penny postage system. Prof.

Morse, Doctor Whitehouse and others, in London, had established, by experiment, that the electric current could be conveyed through 2000 miles of submarine wires, a conclusion founded upon experiments made with subterranean wires. The time taken to convey the fluid through 2000 miles of wire was less than a quarter of a second. The difference of time between England and America is four hours and forty-eight minutes. For one portion of the day the wire would be worked from America, and during the other portion from England. The belief was expressed by the vice president of the meeting that the enterprise would prove remunerative.

Shocking Railroad Accident. The Hor. nellsville (N. Tribune gives the following particulars of a railroad accident which occurred at thit place on Monday last: As the train which leaves for Buffalo at 1 o'clock, P. was crossins the railroad bridjo near Thacher's Mill, Mrs.

Mary O'Conner, wife of James O'Conner, whose residence is near the crossing, discovered her youngest child, a boy of eighteen months, on the track some three or four rods from the house, and the train moving towards it. Stimulated by that feeling which noae but a mother can feel for the safety of her child when In imminent danger, she rushed forward to save it; but, alas, in her reckless effort to save her child, both mother and child were shockingly crushed beneath the wheels of the moving trin. Both of the woman's legs, from her knees downward, were literally mashed to a pummace, and up to go. The two Dingle boys were examined at the watch-house. Squire Webb asked Philip if he recognized the party who shot his father, and told him to look around and see if he could point them out.

Philip looked around and pointed out Roten and Granger, and identified thera. Toner had not then been brought out into the room. John also identified the three men, anl said he heard Roten speak to his father. Witness interpreted for Cunigunda Keysel at the the best he could, but said he did noirk he 'Was competent to do it that he was a witness himself. She stated that she was looking ou the window and saw the three men going towards Dingle, as if going to shake hands, and one of them fired the pistol.

She stated nothing about hoisting the window she said she was looking out the window when the man came up, aBd nothinsr else was asked about it. Thomas Brown testified that be was summoned last Tuesday morning on the pirt of the defense. Knows the prisoners; recollects the night Dingle was shot. On that night, about quarter past 7 o'clock, saw all thre? of the prisoners at the corner of William and Hamburg streets they were standing there at the sime. Thinks lt is two or three squares from York street.

Witness spoke to Soten and Granger and left them the corner of William and Hamburg streets. Witness proceeded to the corner' of Light and Hughes streets, where he heard that a man was shot. To the best of witness' knowledge it was about a quarter past 7 o'clock when he saw the prisoners. John Reynolds testified that he was one of the coroner's jury ia the case of Dingle. The two Dingle boys were examined there.

They both recognized Roten, Granger and Toner as the parties who shot their father. By defense. Remembers ail that as well as he remembers he is standing here. Albert G. Ramsay testified that he was on the coroner's jury.

The two Dingle boys were examined, and Philip recognised Rotrn and Granger at that time, and John said he knew the three persons he saw there as Toner, Grander and Roten. a By State. They also said they were told by witness' son who' the parties were. Geo. W.

Reeder testified that he was one or the coroner's iury. The two Dingle boys were examined, and Philip said he Identified Toner, Granger and Roten before and after the pistel was fired. John recollected two Granger and Roten he did not mention Toner's name to witness' recollection. He might hive done si, but don't remember. Knew the oldest boy Philip he works near their place and saw him nearly every day.

His reputation for truth anl veracity is good. By defense. Has heard Philip Henry Dlngl-V reputation spoken of; never heard it before this trial. B. It.

Harrig testified that he was on the coroner's jury; the Dingle boys were examined there; PXilip recognized Granger, Roten and Toner as being theee when his father was shot; don't re-colleict whether John recognized either of the parties. By defense. Was not present at the watcli house at the examination there. C. W.

Kimberly testified that he is one of the reporters of the "Sun;" had a conversation with. Dr. Benson about the evidence at the inquest. Dr. Benson said Philip H.

Dingle recognized one of the men: was positive on that point; thinks he did not say that Philip recognized more than one; don't recollect Dr. Benson tolling him that the younger boy, John, recognized either of the parties; had he have told witness John only recognized one of them by his singing whilst ia the cellar would not have published it; witness is very cautious in reporting testimony in such, a serious case. By State. Dr. Benson, the coroner, stated witness abcut Philip hearing singing; thinks ha spoke of the flash of the pistol.

By defense. Dr. Benson said Philip positively recognised Roten; don't think he mentions! either of the other parties. Has no recollection cf it. The evidence on both was closed at hilf-past 12 o'clock, and the defense proposed to submit the case to the jury without argument oa either side.

Mr. Whitney said if the case wai argued it would probably occupy two days more, and he was willing to submit the case to the jury, wit'a the permission to apply to the cour at any time, to instruct them on the law as applicable to the issue. Tho jury retired at 25 minutes of 1 o'clock, and. at a quarter of 2 o'clock sent a note to the Court enquiring whether they could take a verdict separately ia each case; to which the court responded always being the practice where more thaii one prisoner is tried at tiia same time. At a q-jarter past two o'clock the jiry sent a a note to the court, stating that they had agreed, on one case but could not agree oa the other two, and asked to be discharged.

The court informed them that it was necessary that they should agree and render verdicts in all three cases that they could not render a verdict as to one and disagree as to the others. At half-past two o'clock another note was received from the jury stating that they could not agree except as to one of the parties, and desired to be discharged. The court refused to discharge them, because these trials put the city to a great deal of expense, and they should try and agree oa verdicts in all the cases. At five o'clock the jury inforRied the court they had not agreed and had no prospect of agreeing, and the court accordingly adjourned till tea o'clock this morning. Common Pleas.

I1ANCE, tf 108 Ilaiumora sue3t Sabbath Day Amusements For two or three Sabbaths past vicinity of Columbia and Scott streets has been the scene of the most disgraceful stone and pistol fights between rival crowds of ouths, whose ages are said to range from ten to sixteen years, during the progress of which they observe to the letter the example set them by the older ones of that same stamp, and use their pistols with the utmost recklessness and d-irin. During a fight of this character which took place there on Sunday last oneof thecombattants, Wm.

Larasly, about fourteen years of age, and residing on Stenett street, near Columbia, was shot in the left thigh, the ball passing entirely through the same. He was taken to the drug store of Mr. Frank Mass, and his injuries attended to by Dr. Colburn, after which he was taken home. The citizens of that section are desirons that the authorities should give some extra attention to this matter for a few Sundays, or until these disgraceful proceedings are brought to an end.

Arrested on a Charge of Pocket-Picking There was published a few days since the case of a Mrs. Todd, of Pennsylvania, who, upon reaching Baltimore, was robbed at the Northern Central Railway station by a pickpocket of her poit-monnoie, which contained 8150; also, that the young person who came in contact with her was, by herself and her husband supposed to be her nephew, who is a dental student of thiscity. The mistake was soon discovered. The party, however, was particularly described to the police, whereupon policemen Burkina and Colgate succeeded in the arrest of a young fellow named James Todd, aged about nineteen years, upon a warrant issued by Justice Lawder. 'He was taken to the office of the Justice, where the lady recognised him as the party.

He was therefore committed to jail by the justice, subject to the order of the grand jury. Violating City Ordinances. Thomas Bennett was arrested by officer Tayman on the charge of inciting a riot and throwing stones. Justice Mearis fined him 81 with costs and released him on security to keep the peace. John Wills and Wm.

Wilkins were arrested by officers Herbert and Barton charged with throwing stones in the street. Each fined 81 with costs by Justice McAllister. Leroy Wallace, colored, was arrested by Watchman Stockett charged with throwing bricks. Justice Webb fined him 81 with costs, and committed him to jail in default of payment. Wm.

King was arrested by watchman Jones charged with violating an act of Assembly by sleeping in the Friendship engine house. Justice Mearis fined him 85 with costs and committed him to jail in the default of payment. Probable Fatal Accident. Yesterday a lad aged about fourteen years was run over by a train of burden cars, on Pratt street, between Hanover and Sharp, and so injured as to afford but slight hopes of his recovery. It appears that he was endeavoring to get upon one of the cars, when he made a inisstep and fell between two of them, the wheels of the rear one passing over and completely mashing one of his legs, besides seriously bruising his body.

He was taken to the office of Dr. Manning, near where the accident occurred, and that gentleman did all in his power to relieve his sufferings, when he was removed to his residence, which was said to be in the eastern section of the city, but its exact location or the little sufferer's name we have as yet been unable to ascertain. The Water Jury. The jury of inquisition on the cases cf the water commissioners are still holding daily sessions at the City Hall. A mass of evidence was taken for three or four days in the case of Mr.

James Buys, whict passed into the hands of the counsel oa Friday evening. On Saturday morning H. R. Dunlany, a young and promising member of the Baltimore bar, made his maiden speech in defending the interests of the city, stating the points of law in a clear and logical address. Yesterday Robert J.

Brent, Esq counsel for the in a speech of considerable power. It is likely that the case will be given to the jury this noon. Health of the City. Dr. Gilman, of the Board of Health, furnishes the report of interments for tne wees: enaing Aionaay morning, which contains 96 interments, of which 22 were of consumption, 10 of the various kinds of fevers, 2 of gun-shot wounds, 9 still-born, and 10 unknown infantile.

Of the whole number not less than 46 were infants under the age of five years, whilst 15 lived each over a half century. The present season is peculiarly fatal to that heavy scourge human life which helps to swell the aggregate of mortality. The city, however, we can safely say, is enjoying more than unusual exemption from disease, and the bill of mortality will compare favorably with other large cities. Indicted for Murder. The Grand Jury of the Criminal Court have indicted Henry Krebs for the alleged murder of John Nubertt, a German who was shot at "Liberty Hall," South Liberty street, some weeks since.

It appears that Krebs was subsequently arrested at Martinsbiirg, and discharged there before the requisition could reach him, on certain parties testifying that he was in that place on the night the shooting took place in Baltimore. He has not been re-arrested. This makes thirteen murder indictments during the present term! Arrested on a Serious Charge. Daring a late hour on Saturday night Watchmen Joaes and Dridel, of the eastern district, arrested George WTise and Charles Green on the charge of attempting to effect a burglarious entry into the clothing store of Mr. John Bull, corner of Caroline and Jefferson streets.

They were confined during the night in the eastern station, and on Sunday'com-mitted to jail for court by Justice Fuller. Gambling on the Sabbath.

John Beck recalled by State. Was present at the examination before the magistrate at the watch-house; went there ia the morning about 6 o'clock. Watchman Wheeler rapped witness for the directors to appropriate net earnings to purposes of construction, which was equivalent to borrowing so much from the stockholders; who ought, afterwards, be re-paid in the bonds of the company. The language of the Court of Appeals is as follows: 'We are satisfied that they (the directors) might agree to refund the net profits which they may have used, and might under the powers granted to them by the charter, borrow money to supply the place of that which had been used, and that the might borrow from the stockholders as well as from any one else, and that they had a perfect right, with the consent of the stockholders, to treat the money thus used as a loan, and for this purpose might pass to the stockholders who were willing to receive them, their "The whole ground involved in the inquiry you have made, seems to be so well covered by the above decision, that it is unnecessary for me to add any thing in way of argument in this connection." The fact is also stated that not less than five and a half millions of stock is still in the hands of original holders and their descendants, and in this connection the justice of the claim for payment (of the interest at least) is further urged. The report Is signed by John H.Barnes, Columbus W.

Smith and John Coates, who, in conclusion, submit the following Resolved, That a reimbursement to the several stockholders of this company of three million five hundred thousand dollars of the profits heretofore used in construction, be, and the same is hereby ordered, to be paid to them according to the shares respectively held by each, at the office of the company, on and after the 20th day of January, 1S57, in scrip, fundable in bonds of the company, dated the. 15th day of May, 1357, bearing interest at the rate of six per cent, per annum, payable on the 15th days of November and May in each year. Which said bonds shall be convertible into stock of the company at their par value at the pleasure of the board, upon a vote of not less than two-thirds of the whole number of the directors, or on a vote of a majority of the stockholders in a general meeting assembled, on thirty days' notice of such meeting being given, for the purpose of deciding such option. Resoli-ed, That the sum of one hundred and thirteen thousand three hundred and thirty-three dollars annually, beginning with the year ls57, be, and the same is hereby appropriated and set apart as a sinking fund for the redemption of the mottgage debt "of the company. Which said amount, and all interest that may from time to time accrue thereon, shall be invested In any of the debt aforesaid, when it can be obtained at or below par, and that whenever any of the bonds cf this company shail come into the hands of the trustee hereby appointed lor the management of said fund they shall cause to be written or stamped indelibly thereon the words, "Belonging to the Sinking Fund of the Baltimore atid Ohio Railroad Company, and not to be re-issued." And that the President and Treasurer of this company are hereby constituted and appointed trustees for management of the same.

Extensive Counterfeiting Operations Discovered. The police of New Y'ork, on Sa-tarday, made an important arrest of alleged venders of counterfeit bank bills, and recovered about 830,000 worth of the notes. The Herald savs: Word was brought to the chiefs office that a number of skillfully executed bills on the Morris County Bank were in circulation, which almost defied the experience of the employees of the bank to detect, while brokers repeatedly took them for genuine, and the Cashier wished "Mr. Matsell to send a competent officer to make an arrest, a3 he thought he knew who one of the parties were. Officer Masterscn was accordingly despatched to work the matter up, and he found that a man named John Garrison had notified the bank that he knew where the false money could be bought.

After a conference with the officers of the bank, it was at length agreed that Mr. Masterson should be introduced by Garrison to the suspected party as a drover who wished the counterfeit money to pay for cattle. He was accordingly taken to the Commercial Hotel, in Courtland street, where Introduced him to a person whom he called John Williams. Williams offered to furnish the supposed drcver with counterfeit money on the Morris County Bank to any amount for forty cents on the dollar, and produced the money to show how well it was executed. At this moment one of the other officers entered the room.

and Williams suspecting something wrong, sprang ior tne grate, ana thrust the Dills his hand in the fire; but they were picked out in time io scow wnai iney were. Williams was taien to the chief's office, wheie, after some solicitation, he informed the officers that he had procured the false money of layiorac irotner, money DroKers. doing business at the corner of Chatham and James streets. The officers, accompanied by the prisoner, pro ceeded to the place indicated, and, after some manoF-uverin, succeeded in arresting James M. and Frank Taylor, on the charge of passing counterfeit money.

The plan of catching: them in ite act passing me money was iaia most adroitly, and succeeded admirably. It was done bv Williams buying the spurious bills of one of the Taylors while tiie two officers selected stood bv, at another counter, pretending to want the change of two ten dollar bills, until they saw tne money proaucea, wnen tney immediately arrested the two Taylors. The premises were then searched, when a num ber of packages of counterfeit money was found, amounting in all to over 820,000. The prisoners. legetiier with ail the money in the store, good and bad, were taken to the chief's office.

Among the counterfeit bills were a number on the Merchants' Bank of this city, Morris County Bank of New Jersey, Farmers' Bank of New York, Hamilton Bank of New Jersey mostly of large denominations; Easton Bank of Pennsylvania, and Onondaga Bank of New Y'ork, besides others. Williams, it is said, was recently pardoned out of the State prison by Gov. Clark. The brothers Taylor were subsequently ordered to find bail in the sum of 85,000 each, to answer the charge at the court of general sessions. Virginia M.

Horace Greeley This gentleman lectured on Thursday evening last, at Wilmington, upon "Reform and Reformeis." The Delaware Republican says: "He observed that he did not look upon the word in the same light that he did some twenty years ago. His confidence in the advance of reform, or any rapid progress toward perfectabili-ty, had been greatly shaken. From his remarks we infer he has no longer any faith in the doc-tiines of Fourierism, Socialism or Communism, as he observed that although it might be shown that persons could live cheaper by association, it was idle to recommend that morle of the people were averse to it. He has become more Utilitarian or practical In his ideas, and did not seem disposed to dwell on anv scheme for the amelioration of evils that could not be adapted to the views or necessities of the people at this The Relative Rank of States.

HALT 131 ORE AND OHIO RAILROAD Report on the Division of its Back Earnings. Printed copies of the "Report of the Specla, Committee of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company on the Reimbursement of Loans from Revenue," were laid en the desks of the members of the City Council last evening. This committee, it will be recollected, was appointed a4 tiie last meeting of the Railroad Board, under a resolution, passed in accordance with a call made at the general meeting of stockholders in October last, directing them carefully to examine the accounts of the Company, and bring forward the net balance of undivided profits, after deducting all working expenses, and digest a plan for refunding this balance to the several stockholders, according to the shares respectively held by each. The committee now give us the result of their labors in this regard, which are to be laid before the next monthly meeting of the Board, occurring to-morrow, for the action of the latter thereon. The committee say that they have given the subject the careful consideration which its importance demands.

They have ascertained and placed under distinct heads, year by year, from the commencement of the road in 1330 down to the present time, all the cost of building the road and equipping it, which they classify as "construction" and charge to "capital" all the cost of repairing it, of keeping its machinery, cars, in order, which they classify as expenses and charge to "revenue" and all the interest upon capital borrowed and remaining as a debt after the opening of the several divisions of the road, as well as the interest upon the debt Incuried to purchase stock on the "Washington branch, which they also charge to "revenue" and the result is they find a balance of undivided profits arising out of the revenue for "the whole period of 85, 135,013 Thty give, also, in their table, year by year, the gross revenue cf the Main Stem, from which it appears that there has been received from tonnage and passengers, from 22d of May, 1330, to September 30th, 1356, And for dividends oa stock owned by the main stem in the Washington branch road, 1,301,939 Rent from Washington branch for depots and shops, 30,009 Making a total of And there has been paid in the same period for expenses, including all repairs, 815,130,095 For interest chargeable to revenue, For dividends, including cash, stock and bonds, 4,524,472 Showing the net balance cf undivi- ded profits to be S5, 135,015 From which deduct am't due byN.W.V.R R.Co, 573.012 Loan to Cen. O. R.R.Co., 400,000 Subscription to Pittsburg and ConnellsviUe R. R. stock.

35,000 1,003 012 81,127,033 This balance has been absorbed, says the report, not in items chargeable to "Revenue," but as clearly chargeable to "Capital," as thsugh it had been derived from stock subscriptions or from the sale of the company's bonds. It was the inability cf the company to sell their bonds, except at ruinous rates, which forced upon them the necessity of using their revenues, insteai of dividing them to the stockholders. The report then proceeds to refer to and give some recorded statements of Benjamin H. La. trobe, as far back as 1317, on the subject of the large accumulation of profits and their ab-sorbtion In capital.

It also considers thefac'j and quotes instances that the Board of Directorg have from time to time placed upon record their solemn purpose to re-pay the stockholders so scon as they had the ability. The last quotation on this point is from President Swann in 1352, when he said: "It will be the duty of the Board at an early day to ascertain to what extent the net earnings'have been so applied since the commencement the work, according to the standard adopted on all other roads, and to give instruction to the finance committee as soon as the increased earnings of the road shall, in their judgment, justify such action, to distribute among the stockholders a extra dividend, to the full extent of the net earnings which have been thus appropriated from time to Having shown that a large amount of the net profits belonging to the shareholders has been used in building and equipping the road, it re-rrainsforthecoinmHtee to digesta planby which tbis may be aivide.a among tne stockholders. On this point they sa: Eefoie enteringupon that part of our duties, however. It is deemed not amiss to inquire into the ability of the company make payment in the manner proposed. For the whole issue rests first, upon the fact of a real balance, and secondly, upon the ability to discharge it.

Having established the former we now pass to the consideration of the latter. The resources of the company are: 1st. Its revenue from passengers and tonnage. 2d. Dividends upon steck owned by the main stem in the Washington branch road.

3d. Rents from the Washington branch for depots and workshops. By turning to the profit and loss account in the last annual report (lettered folio 17.) it will be seen that the dividends and rents received from the Washington Branch are 896,423 Gross revenue from passage and tonnage for the year, 4,355,952 81,482.330 The revenues of the road are subject to tne loiiowing permanent cnarges, assuming the past year as the basis of the estimate: 1st. Working expenses, 2d. Interest, to which we add the balance of five million loan, making the total sum bearing interest, including the State's preferred stock, 813,923,940, less 8113:333 due on bonds 1st January.

1357, and already remitted for, 823,635 2d. Ground rent and Virginia tax, 32,253 4th. Dividends on stock, 006,132 5th. Interest upon new issue now proposed, $3,500,000, 210,000 6th. Sinking fund recommended by committee, 113.333 1,175,439 Surplus, 8300,911 Provision for the payment of the bonded debt of the company has not received that attention which its importance demands, and can only be accounted for by the state of things heretofore existing.

The hindering causes no longer existing to excuse such delinquency, justice to the holders of your bonds no less than to yourselves demands It. The plan proposed for the sinking fund will require the sum of 113,333 annually to be set apart for that purpose, to be invested in the bonds of the company whenever they can be had at or below par. It has, therefore, been shown that without any increase in the revenue, the company can pay all its expenses maintain a thorough system of re pair pay all interest on its bonds, including the new issue pay six per cent, to the stockholders institute a sinking fund ample for the payment of the bonded debt as it may fall due, and still have a clear annual surplus of 8306,941, sufficient for any contingency that can possibly arise. But who can suppose that we are to be without an increase of revenue? The magnitude and position of the work forbid such an idea. Bat two months of the current year have pflssed, and the excess of revenue over the corresponding months of last year amounts to considerably over 8100.000 with reasonable prospects for a much larger proportionate excess for the remaining ten months But the evidences of a permanent increase rest upon better grounds, and more reliable data, than the results of the current year.

Here the reports go into the resources of the country which the road and its connections will drain. Proceeding to another point, the report takes the ground that while the President and directors had the legal right to seize upon the net profits and use them in building and equipping the road, it is equally certain that they have a right to repay, the stockholders by an issue of stock or bonds. On this point it gives a judicial decision, stated as follows in a letter from John H. B. Latrbe, counsel, dated December 4, 1356.

viz: "In November, 1846, the Board of Directors declared a dividend of three dollars a share on their capital stock, payable thus: to all stockholders of less than fifty shares, cash; to all of fifty shares and over, one dollar per share In cash and two dollars per share in company's bonds, bearing Interest, payable quarterly, and redeemable in twenty years. The State of Maryland, holding five thousand shares of stock, refused to receive the dividend bonds, and suing the corn-pay in Baltimore County Court, the case came before the Court of Appeals in 117. "It was here decided that the company had no right to discriminate between its large and small stockholders, a question that does not arise now; but lt was decided also that it was compaten MOURNING STORE.

LOCAL MATTERS. Terminated Fatally. It will be recollected that a shooting affair took place at a public ball on the corner of Frederick and Fayette streets, on the night of Thanksgiving Eve, by which two juunjf men iittiiieu iiiia.il iecuie rigat. ana John W. Harper were very seriously injured.

The former, since the occasion, had been lying in a critical condition at the residence of his father, on Canal street, near Orleans, and notwithstanding the professional attention of Dr. M. N. Taylor and Prof. N.R.Smith, who paid every possible attention to him, he sank gradually within the last few days, and died, as was yes terday- announced, alter having sutterea most intensely.

Yesterday morning Dr. Stevens, co roner, held an inquest over the remains, whereupon the following testimony was elicited: James Horner was sworn and testified as follows: Attended the ball held at Rechabite Hall, and saw Jack Hamill standing on the sidewalk near the principal entrance; he discharged two barrels of a revolver at a crowd which had col lected near the upper door. Witness did not believe that he intended to kill deceased. Moses Brown, a city watchman of the middle district, testified to the arresting of Hamill as he was running along North street.
