One of the most shocking and distressing run- away cecidents which bas occurred in this city for & long time happenod on the West Sido last evening, at 8:30 o'clock. Three young women were the victims, and it is feared that one of them is fatally injured. A butch- er on lue Island avesue s the owoer of the avimal that did the mischiof. She {8 a small black trotting mare, and her owuer, or one of his employes, has been in the habit of dniving her before s sulky, and parties in his vicinity aseert tiat she has been speeded up and down Adams street fre- quently. p At the hour sbove mentioned sheran away on Halsted stroet, startiug from the Harnson street crossing, she having vecome frightened by s passing omuibus. The snimal ran north- ward at & rapid rate, clesring the crowded a:reet before her, and at every ciossing she pussed endangering tho Lives of pedestrians. Just 38 sho rosched Adams wstreet, three ladies—Mra. Mary Burps, of 141 West Van Buren street, Miss Norah O'Donaell, of 310 Des- laines sureet, and Miss Lizzie' Dwyer, of Price placc—were at the crossing. At the moment the galloping animal reached thems Blue Islaud sveduocar wes passing, and the situation, ag described by those who witnessed it, was &' perilons onc in the extreme. The fiv- ing beast came down on the Iadies before they could recover from their fright sufficiently to svoid her, and sho struck them all with great force, the first-named being thrown & consider- able distance, striking the pavement witli great violence. Tno othess were tramped upon by tho maro, and struck with the sulky. r. Chatles Barry, of Hall's Safe and Lock Company, was standing on the corner at the time, and, quick as thought, coursgecaisly ran out and gravbed the avimal by the bit, and stopped her just in the nick of time to prevent further injury. On being picked up by gentlemen who saw the occurrence, Mrs. Burns was found to bem an iosensiblo state, but ber companions were able 1o move about. All were takon to Josoph alitl's drug-store on the corner, and Dr. L. D. Clarke was quickly at hand to apply restoratives to the worst mjured lady, whose upper lip was com- p:lutel{ split in two, ber head badly fmiae:L ber right leg severaly injured, and internal hurts, apparent from the fact that vomiting began an bour after tis accidaut, The lady was in & doli- cate -condition, and it is feared by tho physiciou that fafal results may en- sue in consequence of the injuries. Her father. 2r. atrick (’Brien, had her removed at 91< o'clock to ber home; whee additional modi- cxl treatment was given her, Misses_O'Donnell and Dwyer were severely iced about the face and vody, but their in- juries are not of & mature to cause them any fgreat inconvenience, The escape of sll the parties from instant death was & miraculous cne, indeed. Mr. Mill, the druggist, and citizens in tho vicinity, gave the ludies 4]l the assistance in their power, as did Ofiicers Stecle and Waldon, who were 8oon st the scene of the occurrence. i twoblocks to cbtan the signatures of all the property-holders on the strect and vicimity aguwst the building of the road. His motion was adopted saa tbe committeo appointed. Those present then signed their names to the putition, aad the meetiug adjourned. gt HEAVY AND DARING ROBBERY. A bold and successfal robbery was committed In the broad light of day last Friday afternoon, &ud the trio of crackemen who committed the et are now no doubt felicitating themselves on their ill-gotten gain, which cousists of watches, dizmonds, snd jewelry, amounting in the aggre- gate value to §1,000. Up to the present time 186 police authorities have kept the matter very quiet, and this publication of the daring theft will be their first intimation that this jourpal them. Tue robbery was committed at the house of James A. Marshall, Esq., an_jusurance and Joan ggent, liviug at No. 118 South Seugamon street, betwecu Monroe and Adams. Oa the day above named Mr. Marehall and family, consisting of Lis wite, son, and daugliter, the iatter a young I8 o 18, were absent from home. - It is sup- posed that tho robbery was committed sbout 3 o'clock P. ., from tho fact that a lads iving opposito observed an individus! standing in 1ront of the house, Who, it 18 nov: inoucht, was oz of the roboers keeping a lookout for us com~ paions. Entrance was effected by taking out & Pae of glass in the kitchen window and draw- 3og the bolt of the door. The door leading into the dining-room was locked, and this was forced, evidently, by means of & jummy, for thers are marks of such a tool upon it. Ouce faitly in ths house the robbers complete- 1y raneacked it, emptving the conwents of bo- xean-drawers on the floor,and scattering them over the rooms; tearing off bedclothing and tumbling matiresses, and even the bedsteads, 2bout 1n & promisuous heav. The ladics' watd. zokea were also badly handled, mlk dresses &nd Sther garments being strewn over the floors. Mr. Marshall's privato desk and books-case, con- taining valuable papers, such as deeds, mort- gages, etc., were chocked abont in achaotic mass &loug with the other articles above mentioned. Miey Sarshatl was the first at home after the Tobbery, aud immediately called ber father. An luvestization showed that the thieves had clear- ed out with all the jewelry and other ornaments Lelonging to both Mra. Marshall :aud her dauh. ter. Ainong thew was & wateh and chai valued :; 3150 ; two solitaire diamoud-rings valued at sbout 8250 ; = gold eye-glass, a costly carbuocle necklace, geveral paira’ of earrings, lockets, to bring 4 2Fgiegute valuo up to tho kum of §1,000. A farge guantity of silverware, articlos of fll:-m and othor valuable things, including Mr. h;::_hnlle Papers. were not touched. Five dol- in mouay, left by Mies Marshall in her Pocket-book, wag also missing, % The dotectives have been at work on tho rob- huh_umce shortly after its occurrcice, and by ti Ume thes should have some cluo to the o ieves, who aro evidently skilied hands, and x!irma P1esence in the city i3 generally known to ©icars wLose duty it 16 to watch them, A b THE HARVARD ASSOCIATION. The aterest, now at its hsight, in oducational Jsiters hus stimulated the Alumni of various Collages resident hare to call meetings for the Prrpose of forminy societies, not so much for 21 advantage, literary or otherwise, that will 2fia therefrom, se from & desire to cherish the collections and associatiaas of Alma Mater. Afex dass ago, Brown University men beld sucis Meeting, and offected an organization. List evening the Harvard Collego grad- ;‘45 met for the same purpose at the alxor Houge, Upon being called to or- : Dr. Charles Gilman Smith was elected i sad Gustavus Goward Secretary. The Cbairman staced the object of the mesting e the formation of s Harvard So- fotv. Mr. W. E, Fume:s stated that had been & member of such an Aetociation in Philadelpbis. He thousht that experience shiowed that 1t Wwas quite enough Mee: once a yesr and have & guoi time to- getlier,—g dinner and all that sort of thiug. He 2.2 mation to that effect. % Smith thought that-if they attempted by h more than that they wowld fail. ‘ha motion was theu unanimously carried. adey- Purness maae the motion that all giadu- 0(: ©of Harvard College residents of Cook oty be members of the Association. After e discusaion this was accopted. ¥as then moved that the oflicers of the As- Iy iation consiss of a President, Vice-President, [ 04 Becretary, to compose_also an Executive ¢ominit'ge of three. Dr. Charles G. Smuth was &ted President, and, being called upon. ro- hh“méd his thais in 2 neat litcle spooch, begin- B '8 aa followas “The atrocious erune of be- h‘..‘ Youug man I shall neither sttempt to pal- or deuy,” e was prowptly hissed down. BARTLEY CAMPBELL'SY NEW PLAY. The New York critics having;, aa it were, rolled poor Barcley Campbell up into a little ball, and then deliberately sat upon hici, the legal profes- sion has risen up to tepent the operation. “Fate” and *“Porid” have bLeen kindly squelched. Now a lurid drama, *‘Through Fire,” is before the relen:less ecritica of tho bar, and the ambitious zathor of * Little Sunshine” finds himsulf in the hands of those he has so frequently caricatured. It happened thus: In constrnctitg that truly pic- turesque and impossible reflection of modern society, * Through Fire,” Mr. Gsmpbell had as- sistance from a fellow-carpenter with a hideous German name. This pereon has loomed up as leading man at \be Pittsburg Opera-House. When AMlr. Compbell went to Pit teburg to play the incandescent creature of theuc joint efforts, tho German with & hideous name 1fused to vor- mit it. Mr. Campbell appealed i:o his lawyora. “ho lawyers told him he had no earthly cnance in & sutt. Mr. Campbell wroto iu laste to Mr. Millard, of this city, sotting forth his case, Mr, DMillard gave lim advice; Bartley Cempbell advised bis legal a.dvisers, and, wheu the case came to & hearing, 17on tha suit, saving some $700 in the operation. This is what the great author of * Luitlo Sunshine” would call the prologue. & Shifring the acenes trom Pittsburg to Chicago with the criminal recklessuess dispia.red Ly Jr. Campbell in * Through Fire,” we fird Mr. il lard 1o the act of making vp a little il for fces, amounting to §25. The tlats are shrited back, a0d Mr. Campbell is found in Pitsburg perusing the bill, and refusing to pay it. Once) more the scene-shifter gives us Chicago. lders Ar. Miliard is found bringing an altachment suit ogainst Mr. Campbell Mr. Dhliard inguires whether Mr. Hooley owes Nr. Camp- bell anything on royaliy. Mr. Hooley aeplics 1n the aftirmative. Mr. Millard then gurnishecs tiug 105aity, T'he case will be heard Jui v 6. Here is the gronudwork of a * moderi » society drama,” which Mr. Campbell will probubly en- rich aud place upon the stage with a flo-arish of trombunes next season. — LINCOLN PARK. Everybody who kuows snythiug sbont 'he at- tendancoe at Lincoln Park agreed yosterda y that it was the dullest Saturdsy gothering wit: resaed there since the opening of the season, Pcwigibly the intensely warm weather may servo to ea:plain this falling off, for, verily, it was a task of 00 small magnitude for any lady to move ardund .much in tho afternoon yesterday. Evon the fine band, led by Prof. Balatks, dealt out barniony in g listless, soulless fashion, and this listhess- pess and soullessness the audience seemed £i 1ily to reciprocate. There could not hiwe been moro than from thres to four hundi-ed people prescnt. Up to7 o'clock last evenicig, hardly any ** fast turn-outs " were visible. Thaue were, howaver, some dozena of family cartiagat, the occupants of which scemed to bo underga - ing a slow process of boihng. Idle lookiog young men fonnged in scanty groups npon tho grass, aud pert echool-mistes fd the melancholy” swuns with crumbs from used vy sangwiches. The - only thing approaching a deveo crowd ob- served upon the groand wusa fiock of yousg ducks, following mimblyin tho wake of their watchful parent. A muscular young woman rowed & litue boat called the ““ Eif * all alone, and did not scem to be at all alarmel at tho dire fuct that bher nose was burned to the color of & caroation. An srdent young man, with vory knowing side-whiskers, made lave, be- neath a shade-iree, to & being compouaded oue- third of womanani the remaindar of white mushn, stiff ss the smls of s slip in frosty weather. Talking of ships, there was aa enzire fleet visible during the dsy, moving lazily back and forth, making quito s prety picture.. The bears in tho small meusgerie walked rest- lessly around and louked quite savage. The diminative lion slept soundly 1a his cell, his tongue lollingout, The American vagle kopc his beal open, and appeared wwuted. Tho bisons sciatched themselves against the railings of their paddock, and the tall elk ewung hus huge antlers around in lazy majesty. The park seemed unnaturally still, the sileacs being. only broken by occasional sirains of music, and the more common wailiog of o dozen very cross childron whose mothers wers iz wuo enough to bring them out in such baking westher. Nature secmed to call for rest, aud sho got it. Those who did come to the Park on 1, slept, for the most part, under the trees. 'Tho equestrians, and they wero few, rade back home as nasuly a8 possible, aud the families pent in carrisges trundled alowly afcer them. Such was yesterday st Lincoln Park. — e THE WISCONSIN BAILROAD CASE. Saturday afternoon. Up to that time Juage Drummond conld not state either the time or place, or whether Judge Davis would sit in the case. All parties were ex- tremely anxious to secure his presence, becauso it wea felt that, beiog 8 member of the Supreme Benck, Lefore which the question will eventusily come, the result in this case, whichever wuy given, would have greater force and effect, and probably hasten a final set:loment. ‘The Attornes-General of Visconsia waa like- iso auxioas to Lave the case heard at Madison. To this it was feared Judge Davis would no: as- seut. Ho is only,required to visit Wiscongin occe in two vears, aad, having held court there Inst vear, he was averse to making this case an exception; but the urgency with which the requests were presented, together with the mo- mentous importanca of the issues to be decided, induced the eminent Justice to agree. The case, will, therefore, be beard in Madison, Wednosday, Judses Davis, Drummond, and Hopkins wili be ou the bench. The arcuments wiil probably oceupy two days. These bLave been preparcd with extremo caro. For the people, the Hon. A. Scott Sloan, Attorney-General, the Hon. J. C. Sloan, Assistant-Attornev-General, and the Hon. Luther 8. Dixon, last Chief Justice, will appear. The latter will, doubtless’ make s magnificent argument. For the complainauts, the Hoo, C. B. Lawrence aod B. C. Cook, of this city, and the Hon. E. W. Stoughton, of New York, will appear. As- 8Sociate connsel and assistarts will be on hand, but only the gentlemen named nre expected to make olaborate arguments. Attorneys from all parts of the State, attracted by the unprecedent- ed importauce of the case, will doubtless fill the court-roGm. —— ALD. WHITE. Last Sunday morniog this paper published a report of the additional testimony taken before the Coroner's jury in the case of Louisa Telfray, which was under consideration on the precoding dsy. Inthe eummary of the examination of Miss Francisco, the sister of the decensed, she | was made to eay that the dead woman had kept company with Mr. George A. Gates, and slso with George White, Though it was not stated that it was Ald. White, yet such would be the natural inference, he being Mr. Gates’ partper. Since the character of the deceased was not im- maculate, a statement that Mr. White had been in the habit of ** keeping company” with her, would na:urally reflect upon and injure hum. It appeurs, Liowever, from an examination of the copy of the _tesiimony. made by Corober Siepbens, that Miss Francisco did not say what was sttributed to her, and did not mention Mr. White's nawe at all. She simply said that Mr. Gates hed been keoping company with her eister. It isalso proper to state that none of the other witnesses ever mentioned Mr. White, and that ho was nover referred to during the invostigation. Bis onlv connection with the caso has boen that bis partner was onme of the witnessea, Tt als0 appears, upon inquiry, that the porson who madae the report, reaching the inquest sfter the jury bad begun operations, copiea the testi- mony of Miss Francisco from the notes of the reporter of auother paper, who, for some unex- pluwed resson, bad put in Mr. White's name whore the official report showa it never should have gone. While Ald. White hardly needs this explanation smong those who know jum, yet, as “a business mav having dealings with many who are not personally acquainted with him.” it is eminently proper that this stawement of the fucts i the case should be mede public. e —o LOCAL LETTERS.
