Heved by that Association, T shall be p to distribute «uch quantities of tood and fuel to each person on the list, as will furnish them tem- rary relief, propased by the bill under which ‘am acting. It will likewise be necessary for the Board to authorize some perso: orders drawn on me, so that I may hold them as sub-vouchers for the food and fuel furnished. I will provide the proper biank orders to be used by such person. Mr. Tustin said that Captain Bi would be governed by strict military law, and so far as the society was concerned the office of General Agent might as well be abolished. He intimated Sst the | ding, corner of 5th and E streets, might be requi asa it for food. clothing and fuel. He had conversed the Secretary of War, and understood him to Fay that certain parties would not be zed in thelr recommendations for the distri of artic! Mr. Solomons said it would be well to learn the views of Captain Bridges before taking further action, and moved that the committee heretofore appointed be continued and re- quested to wait upon him at once. ‘Mr. Wolf thought the committee should be ¢lothed with discretionary authority, and em- powered to act at once, and report at’ the next meeting of the Board of Directors, and moved an ame:.tment to that effect. a bar gg te som that she had an interview with Cay idges that afternoon, and she un- dered toa he wished the Board of explain the method they would wish adopted in distributing the relief. c Mr. Tustin said the letter was perfectly clear under- and defimte.

Mr. Alfred Richards, from a committee here- totore Seago to examine the lien laws of the feveral States, with the view of drafting one for this District, reported that the comm: had formed the duty to them, and had ided bend tap the lien laws of New Jersey Maryland, either of which gave greater — to mechanics than the laws of this ict. The then read the laws referred to either of which would be suitable with slight amendments. The lien law of Connecticut was read. Mr. Richards thought this law, with a section sub-contractors the right to enter lien, ‘Was just what was wanted in this District.

Henry Williams, Johana Kenely, and Policeman James E. Heffner were examined, but no new facts were clicited. William Shepherd. policeman, testified that the arrest of Slim on the charge of being the assailant, while in the station-house the prisoner said this was the first trouble he had ever got into in his life. Slim asked him what time ‘the assault was made, and when told it was about nine o’clock he ‘stated that at that time he was at his own house. On his way to jail he said if Justice Thompson would only clear him of this he would make him the hand- somest present he ever had in his life. He de- clared his » and said he had lived here suamer-Sve years ard néver had any dificulty Justice Thompson testified that the prisoner stated that he was in his own hofise from 6 o'clock p. m. until the next morning on the night of the assault. His wife swore to the same thing. The day before the death of the deceased he brought Slim to the hospital to be recognized, and in reply to the question, “Do you know the person at your bedside?” She an- swered “Slim,” “Slim.” Sergeant Franklin was with them. Dr. Reyburn asked the ques- tion of deceased. The evidence here closed, and ward the jury returned the following verdict: “That the said Mary Lee came to her death at 1 o'clock a. m. on ‘the 16th day of Februarv, 1870, in a ward of the Freedmen’s Hospital. We further find that the cause of the death of the said Lee was a wound on the right side of the head, which fractured the skull, that the said wound was inflicted with a blunt instru- ment on the night of the 8th of February in the hand of some person or persons unknown to the fury.” This morning the prisoner Slim was brought out and arraigned before Justice Thompson, who committed him on a charge of murder, on the affidavit of Sarah-Lee, daughter of the dc- ceased. of witnesses on the charge, Mr. R. Harrington, the prisoner's counsel, walving a further examination before the justice, intending to bring the prisoner out on 2 writ of habeas corpus.

Ohtcer liday, o rent precinct, rushed in and arrested Sheridan, who was taken to the Powers accomp:nied the officer to the station house, and stated the fact that Sheridan had murdered the woman in his pres- ence, ing more. Powers, on making this statement, was al- lowed to leave the station-house and go at lib- erty, though he was the only one present at the murder, except the murderer, and his victim, and, therefore, the only mn whose evidence is vitally important in case. The curious may ask why was this thus? It is hard to an- swer. One fact, however, is known, that on visiting the scene of the murder at 11:30 last night, Powers was not by the side of the mur- dered woman: he had gone out; the people of the house did not know where he had gone to, or mnen he weeks come back, if he came back at all. The body of the murdered woman lay on the floor by the sewing machine, her feet toward the chair. She appears to have been a hand- some woman in her day, of medium height, with long black hair. Her appearance denoted pov- erty. She was dressed in a common black serge dress. Her face and neck were spotted all over with the powder trom the pistol, showing that the shots must have been tired close to her head. ‘The supposition is that she was sitting in a chair by the stove when shot, that she stag. tothe chair by the sewing machine aud Slipped from it to the ground—dead. Sheridan, looking out through the bars of his cell, told a reporter of the World last night the story of this tragedy. He was married sixteen years ago to his wite, who was then fifteen years of age. She was willed by her father a farm, forty-two miles beyond Yonkers, worth $25,00), in trust for her children, after death. He was by trade a pickle manufacturer, and his brother now carries on the trade in T'wenty-ninth street. They lived happily together until some time before the breaking out of the war, when her conduct became not what it ought to have been. In 1861 he enlisted in the Seventy-ninth New York eng and went to the war. He returned in 1864, and stopped on her farm, working for her for three months. She treated him badly; he left, and then re-enlisted in the same regiment, serving until 1465. He remained with her two or three weeks, but found his home was not what he would wish. He went West, and returned to this city three weeks ago, putting up at his sister's, 204 First avenue. He discovered that she was livin, with Powers, in Forty-first street. He went there about six times in the past three weeks, and tried to persuade her tocame back. He found she had sold the farm and spent the money, beggaring his children, whom she had living with her. She threatened him. Last night he went to Jamee Healey’s liquor store, corner of Twenty-sixth street and Ninth ave- nue; he took supper there and left about eight o'clock. He borrowed the pistol last night to protect himself. When he went into the room she told him to clear out, and struck at him with something she raised from the stove. He shot her. ole 28s. MARVELLOUS EScare OF A MINER.—A most remarkuble escape from instant death occurred a short time since at the New York mine, in Marquette county, Michigan. The Mining Jour- nat faye: “One of the miners was engaged in charging an immense hole, fourteen feet in depth, in which he had to put ac! ofeleven kegs of powder, to which was attached a fuse, thought to be of sufficient length to enable the man to make dhis retreat when fired. By e fuse coiled at the instant it was ignited, = — ig contact with and iny le. consequence Was an instantaneous explosion, throwing eut, as estimated, quite 3000 tons of rock. The man that touched off the fusé was thrown perpen- dicularly into the air a distance of twenty feet, coming down on top and in the midst of masses of rock thrown out by the biast. Singular as well as fortunate to relate, with the exception of a slight scratch on two of bis fingers, he was entirely uninjured. The man maintained a remarkable coolness and presence of mind under the circumstances, evinced by his singing out to his comrades to keep back, a8 they were running up to the scene, expecting to find him blown to atoms. “Keep back,” said he, “perhaps it hasn’t all gone off yet, and you'll get WORE 1 ea ra FEARFUL TracEpy IN Paris—A fearful tragedy occurred January 28th in the Rue du Faubourg St. Honore, in Paris, a lady named Lombart, residing at 'No. 8, having been mur- dered by her footman, ‘who alse ngerously woun the lady’s maid and the cook. The man during the day had had an altercation with his mistress, and when, about six in the evening, she ordered him to serv at her with a knife and cut her throat, killing her on the spot. The two female servants came to the assistance of their mistress, and in the struggle which ensued orie was cut so severely that her life is despaired of. The murderer, who is a Belgian by birth, and is believed to have been at the moment in a state of intoxication, was eventually secured by an upholsterer livin; in the house, and was given into the custody ol the police.
