A WOMAN THE CAUSE OF THE APFRAY. Last night between 10 and 1! o'clock W. W. Fisher and George H. Boston becama involved ina difficulty on P street, between «ih 7th, when Fisher drew a razor aud cut Boston im several places, one cut being from tae shoal- der across the breast and another across the stdomen. Boston went to Dr. W. H. Taylor's office. on O street, near sth, where his wounds were dressed, and he was subsequently taken to bis bome on sth street, near ©. Boston states that he was not apprized of the presenca of any one until he received a cut with arazor; but Fisher tells a different story, viz; that while in company with Kate Steward and Sidney Des- per, Boston approached him trom behind and struck bim with a stone, and he then drew the razor and cut him in selfdefence. Fisher made bis escape at the time, but Sergeant Perry and Officer Fleet found him about twoo’clock at the residence of Sa i H. Williams,on New Hampebire avenue avenue, between T and L streets northwest, and took him to the 24 pre- cipct station. Boston is a married man, but has bad rome di‘ticulty with his wife, from whom he attempted afew months since to obtaina di- yorce, but was upeuccessful. Lately he has been keeping company with Kate Stewart, who resides in Foundry alley (between G and fH and 13th ard HMth streets). Fisher has also been keeping company with her. The parties have | not been on the best of terms, and in June last Boston bad Fisber and Harry A. Williams ar- rested for an assault on him, arising oat of a | dispote sbout the same woman. The action of the Police Court ip this case is noted elsewhere. oe DEATH OF A WOMAN FROM ALLEGED MAL- PRACTICR.—The office of vital statistics con- nected with the Board of Health has been fitted up with some of the furniture used in the hall of the Legislative Assembly and furnished with the necessary books and blank forms, and the € = now in cemplete running order.

Yesterday a midwife mate plication to the office for a burial permit for achiid. The certificate showing the parentage, eause of death, (still-born,) and physician was flied up by the midwife, and her name append- ed toit. The clerk declined to iseue the permit without the name of the physician who attended | at the accouchment was appended, and she Was requested to return and obtain the same. Soon atterwards she came back with the paper purporting to have been signed by a well-known physician, but which the clerk discovered at a glance to be a feraety. and in a it with the name of the physician, which be had im bis record book, he was convinced that the name bad been forged id charged ber with it. Finding herself cornered she confeseed that it was so.

The let- ter called attention of the Commissioners “to the fact that by reazon of insufficient ventila- tion and general filthy condition of the police station houses in the city of Washington t unfit lodging places even for criminals, a posi- tive disgrace tothe city. Some months si this board condemned as unfit for human tation the building known as the central guard- house, located on Louisiana avenue, between ‘9thand 10th streets, but owing probably to the complication that arose in the city government no improvement of consequence resulted. This board most respectfully and earnestly recom- mend and urge upon your honorable body the great necessity which exists for some action king to the speedy abatement of these nai- sances if only to repair, cleanse and whitewash the very ursuitable buildings now occupied as station houses.” ——_-—___ Tax Tar op Corvmuta Commanverr, K T., To Care May.—The committee of Colambia Commandery, Knights Templar, to make ar- Fangements for the pilgrimage to Cape May have issued a circular to the members who pro- pose making the trip, setting forth that the Commandery will leave this city Tuesday morn- ing, the ISth instant, and on the way will be joined by Sur Knights and their ladies of Baiti- more, Newcastle, Philadelphia and Camden. ‘The party will proceed from Newcastle to Cape May by steamer down Delaware bay.

Lauer, attempting to commit suicide by swal- lowing arsenic, and his subsequent improv ment under the medical treatment of Dr. J. Edward Gorsuch. The improvement was not permanent, and about haif-past 5 o'clock yee- terday morning he died. The facts of this case are as follows:—At an early hour on Monday morning his wife discovered him sitting by the kitchen stove bleeding from a wound which he had inflicted with a knife in his left wrist. Dr. Gorsuch was sent for after twelve hoars had elapsed, and he discovered that in addition to attempting to ent the artery in the wrist; Lauer je ad- ministered the proper remedies, and last even- ing the patient had improved, but the physician bad been called in too late, and shortly after- Wards the dangerous symptoms reappeared, and he died im great agony. The deceased was a native of Berlin, and came to this country in 185: For some years he followed the trade va Tr and confectioner at Frederick, Md., afterwards gommg in the restaurant business. He was married in 1863, avd about eighteen months after, his business being bad, he at- tempted to commit auicide by hanging, and was saved by aservant girl cutting the rope. Five years later his wife again prevented him from committing suicide by seiz! ng a bottle of poison from his hand, and two years later he attempted to shoot himself with his rifle. He removed to Baltimore a year last May, and seemed to be coing well until recently, nm he began to drink freely, and was frequently despondent. He told Dr. Gorsuch that trouble caused him to take the arsenic. The deceased was fifty-four years of age, and leaves a wife and two chil- Gren. His body will he removed to-day to Frederick for interment. In the absence of Dr. Walker, coroner for the middie district, Dr. Mackall, coroner for the western district, was not d, who, after learning all the facts from Dr. Gorauch, declined holding an inquest.— Baltimore Gazette, 5th. ArmosrneRic TELEGRAPHY.—An interest- ing exhibition of teleprapbic machines worked exctusively by air was held in London lately by Mr. Guattaris, the inventor. A number of dif- ferent instruments were on view, but the motive power in every instance was excited by the im- pulse given to@ column of air at one end being transwitted instantaneously to the other end of the column, and taking effect upon certain mechanical arrangements so as to produce such resuits as might be required. The impulse is produced at one end of a tube by the operator, and performs the mechanical work at the other end either by ringing a bell or turning a needle round a dial: Very many contrivances of tele- graphing by air bave been invented, bat Mr. Guattaris claims for his invention a superiority over others in the fact that a complete message can be dispatched by its means. Moreover, a fatal detect in other inventions of a like charace acter has risen from the fact that each air tube could convey only one signal in one direction, so that a telegraphic alphabet would require twenty-six tubes for transmission, and the same number for Da a This dificnity Mr. Guattaris has completely got rid of, his instra- ments being only worked by asingle tubs, along Which the air is impelled in each direction. ‘The rapidity and precision can be made equal to the electric telegraph, the conducting tube be- ing able to be laid under or over cover in the same manner as the ordinary telegraph. At- tached to each machine is a bell and dial, and the message is transmitted by the moving of a smail lever which drives the air through a pipe to theother operator. As the lever is moved up and down the dial which stands where the message is destined for registers whatever the words may be. Each dial is supplied with a needle, and ageach spurt of air presses against the works of the machine the needle is moved exactly the pumber of times that the lever is pre: - Each instramentcan either receive or send amessage. The mechanism is not likely to become disarranged; but it appears that the invention will not transmit m any great @stance. By the aid of compressed air the in- yentor has succeeded in conveying @ message ten miles; but without compressed air the pres- ent limit is about 400 yards. The instraments exhibited were designed for intercommanica- tion between large coffeeshouses, offices, hotels, and vessels. A Hagriem Flight with the Soprano of e bout a year nk Cashier's - James M. B. urch. ago the residents of Har- Jem were startled by the rnmor that John Van Noraen,: cashier of the exploded Stuyvesant bank, aninfluential member of St. James’ M.

A letter was Cc in which Mrs. McGregor had confided her plans to @ woman who was unable to keep the secret. The upshot way that Van Norden, who bad been bailed by Mr. Thomas Hanson, a Harlem builder, and Thurston, of St. James chureh, to answer charges of irregularities in bis accounts at tbe bank, was surrendered by them and loéged in Ludlow street jail. He was at length released, Sage being | against him. Meanwhile Mr. and Mra. McGregor had beep reconciled, and it was supposed that the scandal was at an end. Not so, however.

For several days past, however, the road has done an unusuaily large business, and as long as this continues the cars will not be taken off.—Sentinel, 4th. see. A Case for Kivg Solomon. A CURIOUS CONTEST BETWREN TWO WOMEN AS TO THE PO§SESSION OF A CHILD. A case has just been decided in the Supreme Court which will be read with a good deal of in- terest, and isin facta somewhat remarkable story. It appears that in 1570 Miss Harriet Evans (it is said that this is not her true or fail mame) became a mother, and intrusted her child, which bore peculiar marks of depression on the temples. to the care ot Mrs. Fanny Wem- ple, payin for its keeping $25 per month. iradually this compensation was reduced, with the consent of Mrs. Wemple, to #15 per month, clothing being sent, however, as usual. At last, maternal yearnings induced her to take back the child and rear it herself. cording to ber own story, canbe imagined when, having intimated her determination to Mrs. Wewple’s mother. Mra. Ellen Wickens, the latter replied coolly: ‘You needn’t bother about the child. It isn’t That child was left here in a basket.” The alarmed young lady went to Mrs. Wemple and asked ber what her mother meant, and Mrs. Wemple said that one day the child was actually put into a basket by some one, and left at the door as a strange child, and that ever since it had been a joke with them that the child was left there in a basket. Miss Evans was unable, however, to get back her child, and teok a Teasnrestorecoverit. Mrs. Wemple fled to New Jersey with the child, and remained hidden until brought to light by the police. The affair promptiy came before the courta, and, as Mrs. Wemple clung to the basket story, & reference was ordered to Eugene H. Pomeroy to find out which of the women had a claim to the child, when Miss Evans told the story as given above. On the other side, Mrs. Wemple admitted receiving an infant from Miss Evans and the payment of $25 per month: but she maintained, nevertheless, that the cbi!id in dispate did not Dbelongto Miss Evans. She accounted for the second child by saying Svans’s child was sickly (which was admitted), and that sem weeke after Mrs. Wemple took it t> nurss some one left a basket containing a fine healthy child at their door and ran away; that Mrs. Wickens thereupon took Miss Evans's child to the Foundling hospital in Washington eq aare, pulled the bell and ran away, and kept the more fortunate child. This course the old lady adopted because a child of Mrs. Wemple died some time before, and it was not desirable for ber sake to have another child taken from her by death. The flight to New Jersey was ad- mitted, but Mrs. Wemple said she did it partly because the had become greatly attached to the little stranger and partly because she wanted Miss Evans to pay up atrears. An interesting link in this curious story was supplied by two men, who testitied in regard to the basket. George Hedges testified that he knew Mrs. Wickens and that at her request he put the child (alleged to have been foand at the docr) in @ basket, and gave itto an unknown man, who for 52 left the child at the door. ‘This man, who it appears is Henry Chase, testified that hp was the person who got the $2 and left the child as stated. All the witnesses remem- bered the peculiar mark on the child’s neck. Mrs. Wickens told again the story of the finding of the child, stating that it was in March, 1471. ‘The doctor who attended Miss Evans was ex- amined, his testimony being pretty clearly in favor of the identity of the two children, and Miss Evans herself, who saw the child frequent- jy, insisted that there had been no change of babies. A woman in New Jersey, who saw Mrs. Baden god there, testified that she frequently heard the latter say the child was Mias Evans’, and that she would not give it up unless com- pelled to do so. ‘The referee, in s long report, expressed his disbelief in the basket story, and stated that the testimony of the two men and Mrs. Wickens was, in his opinion, rank perjury. Finally, he decided in faver of Miss Evans. The applica- tion for the confirmation of this report was made to Judge Pratt, in chambers of the supreme court last week, by John ©. Mott, Granville P. Hawes opposing. Judge Pratt has decided in favor of Miss Evans’ claim.—v. F.

Misses Jackson and Everett waded into the lake, laughing and talking, un- tl the water reached their shoulders, when they suddenly went down, and not until they had sunk three times did their companions realize their terrible situation.
