The event was not on- tirely unexpected, for he had been ill soveral days, which fact, coupled with his advanced age and the Jong term of service he nad performed, led his friends to fear the worst, By the death of Admiral Davis the Bation loses onc of its bravest herces and most fuith- ful officers, CHARLES B.

Don’t!’’ thus preventing her from doing so until the watchman and Thomas Barrows, of No. 14 East strect, interfered and saved mother and child. The cause of this attempt at mur- der and suicide, as stated by the woman herself when taken to the Thirteenth precinct station house, was ‘abuse received at the hands of ner husband, Michacl Healy, who struck her last night, and about two Months ago tricd to throw her out of the window, Jobn Carmody, the private watchman, related the fol- Jowing version of the story as told to him last evening by Elizabeth’s mother and Elizabeth herselt:—the mother went into Healy’s house about seven e’clock last night, and secing that her daughter had made no preparation for supper romenstrated with ber, whera- upon Elizabeth replicd im an impudent way for which she got her cars boxed. Tho busband was in the room, and, no doubt, joied big mother-in-law in scolding his wife. The Jatter was So cXasperated with him that she seized the Stove lid and flung it at him. Ho then dealt hera _ blow in the temple. Wild with anger and pain the wife caught up her little boy and rushea into the Street, and ranning toward the river she hurried down to the oyster dock, followed by two boys and Thomas Burrows, ‘The latter felt sure, from the woman’s | manner, that she Intended mischief, and so | he kept her in view until sho reached the pier. He met Carmody, who was op doty ut the time and informed him of his suspicion, Together the two men tben followed tbe womun, who was now hal! way out on the pier with the cbild in her arms. She reached the string piece and held the little one over it, vainly endeavoring to shake it off and drown it. Before she could accomplish her terrible purpose, however, the men had seized her.

MONDAY, OBITUARY WHO IS WILLIAM H. WELDON? HIS BRIEF CAREER IN H. B. CLAFLIN’S AND WHAT ONE OF THE FIRM HAs TO BAY ABOUT HIM—A STRANGE COINCIDENCE. For the last two days the wildest rumors bave been afloat :n this city concerning William H. Weldon, the would be-ijsassin of Governor Packard, and his con- nection with the house of H. B. Claflin & Co. Mr. Charles D., Spencer, in particular, was said to bave been acquainted with bun and to have been instrumental in sending him South, This gentleman, however, says that he knows little or nothing of Weldon, save that he was a salesman under him for a sbort time, and that on the strength of a recommendation from him was engaged as a clerk by P. H. Pepper & Co, of Mobile, This firm have an agency in New York, and Weidon, wishing to better himself, made application to them for a situation, and reterred to the head ot his department in Claflin’s (Mr, Spencer) for a recommendation. Being written to by Pepper’s agent Mr. Spencer made inquiries among the salesmen and replied as follow: I hnve succeeded in finding that saleeman, His e 18 William H. Weldon. He has had large expericnce, and is, 1 think, a first rate sales- man. @ ig quick, ‘getic, Well recommended and hon With this Mr. Spencer’s acquaintance with Weidon ceased, According to Mr. Eames, a member of the firm of Claflin & Co., Weldon 1s not of the “slight. est importance ;’? he was with the firm so short a time as to be hardly known, Said Mr. Eames yesterda: “Weldon is a poor, ignorant Irishman, who has gone onthe drunk and done avery foolish thing.” Mr, Claflin bimsel! knows nothing of the man, Another Sensational rumor concerning Weldon, upon investigation, has brought to light a most curi- ous coincidence, He was reported to have resided at No. 68 St. Felix street, Brooklyn, last October, and to have left Clatiin’s not long since on the pretext of visiting Florida tor his health, but in reality for the ng bis designs upon Governor Packard, At this residence in St, Felix street there did reside a William i. Welding, who is in tbe employ of Claflin & Co. strange to say he, too, resided with & father, mother and sister, and, to cap the climax, he has visited Florida lately, and that, too, for his health, But nevertheiess he demes that he had anything to do with the attempted assassination, and as the HeraLp reporter yesterday fround him quietly enjoying his Sunday dinner there seems no reason why bis word should be doubted. Ho knows very little about bis namesake and says that mm conversing with bis teliow clerks they all denied any knowledge of the follow who had gained so much notoriety of late by bis ad- venture in New Orleans. ‘THE “TEMPERANCE CAUSE. Cooper Institute was comfortably filled yesterday afternoon by the members and friends of the Ameri. can Temperance Union, who had gathered to listen to an address by Mon. John Moffatt, of Tennessee, on “Common Sense Christianity.’? The speaker was in- troduced by Mr. Gibbs, and spoke for about an hour in behalf of the cause of temperance, The common sense Christianity he advocated was the removal of temptation, by Christian people, in their homes and im the churches, and the fubstitution of kind words and medical treatment for the ordinary method of re- forming drankards. A NEW TKADE UNION. A number of mechanical engineers met at'‘Tarn Hall, in Fourth street, yesterday afternoon and organized a brotherhood of engineers, sometning after the fashion of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engincers, Presi- dent W. 0, Cloyes was present, and about 125 engineers became members. A committee was appointed to draita constitution and bylaws, It is understood that a German organization and the New York Protective Association of Engineers are to consolidate with the brotherhood, The object of the society is to protect Doth the employer and the employé, and to promote the interests of both, The society is asecret one. It is to extend its inflacnce throughout the States of New York and New Jersey. A NEW JERSEY CENTRAL BEQUEST. The employés of the Central Railroad of New Jersey havo not received a cent of wages lor their labor since November 30, aad the consequence is that a terrible state of suffering exists among them and their fami- lies, At Port Johnston the men are without the neces- saries of life on account of the failure of the company to pay the men, At Elizabethport the men and their families are actually starving. The workmen at Philipsburg suffer intensely. On tho Lehigh and Susquehanna division the employés have not received acent since October 31. The condition of their fami- hes cannot be described, Many of the clerks in the different offices are also in need of funds to procure the necessaries Ofplile, THE UNDERGROUND RAILWAY. To tu# Eviror or THz HeraLp:— The following facts, most of which have just come tohand from London, ought to satisfy His Honor Mayor Ely of the practicability of an underground railway :—The last report of the Metropolitan Under- ground Company up to January 1 of this year shows a net income of 61 per cent and operating expenses 39 per cent of the gross receipt, There was earned net onits 84g miles 434 percent on acapital of about $41,000,000, nearly two-thirds of which, as the ex- penditures of the company show, were paid for land or right of way, This 1s 9 per cent on $20,000,000 and 18 per cent on $10,000,000. Let us now apply these facts here. It is also 20 per cent on $9,000,000, which which willcopstruct and complete an underground railway from the Battery tothe Hariem River ona route where the right of way, with the exception of a few rods, has been given and has remained unused for nearly eight years, Sir Charies Fox, his two sons (both eminent en- ginecrs), Mr. Cooper, Mr. Wilson aud Mr, Johnson, the chief assistants of Mr. John Fowler in making tho underground raiiways of London; Sir Edward Watkin, and mauy other English railway men and engineers who bave been here, all express astonishment at the enormous movement of passengers on this island. ‘They all say it surpasses that of London in like area, and they see the cause in the fuct of our being shut in by water on each side, while London has no such restraints, crowding travel in one direc- tion, They have seen our long, straight streets and avenues, the like of which cannot be found in London. Every one of the,persons avove named has re- peatedly said it was entirely practicable to make an underground railway wnder those streets, and that, inasmuch as we will not be required to buy the right ot way, as in London, they must retarn a very large income to the capital invested, JUSTICE. ‘LIFE IN THE BLACK HILLS. {From the Cheyenne (Wy. 7.) Leador, Jan. 80.) A bad story comes from Deadwood about an old Den- verite—D. Tom Smith, The writer says Tom has been behaving beastly for some time past, threatening to kill his wife and several other people in town. Re- cently, on a certain evening, he went into a saloon where the Mayor, City Marshal and two others wero engaged ina game of “freeze out.’”? He pulled off his coat, took a corner from which he could cover the players and the barkeeper and then “pulled his gun,’” cocked It, and held it at a present upon whoever made motion to rise or change his position, He toid them that he meant murder, but they migbt go on with the game, The game did go on with a great deal of solemnity.

CHAPTER IL IN THE BLACK FoREST. In the midst of the Black Forest, in Germany, lies hidden the picturesque Village of Zorlitz, The principal building in the village ts the little wooden Lutheran church, the only house of worship. The pastor of this church, @ year or two ago, was Herr Brocken, or Father Brocken, as be was allection- ately called by bis peopie. He was a kindly, simple- hearted man. Here he bad dwelt twenty years, the father, the pas- tor and guide of bis Simple people; bere bis wile bad recently died; and bere he hopea to be buried. ‘He was childless, his family consisting of an okt house- keeper and a young girl known as nis niece, Tuis niece of the pastor was the idol of the good peo- ple of Zorlitz, She tended the peasants in their ill- nesses ; she visited the quaint ad bonnes like a sun- beau, bringing with ber always warmth and sunshine, Une afternoon in June, at the time we bave indi- catod, our heroine, alter makin, ail Upon woman, vegan the ascent of the steop nillin tion of the parsonage, When half way vp the slope she turned asive into the woous, pursuing a shaded path at an eusy pace, swingivg her broad brimmed hat by its ribbons trom ber arm, and carolling a German BOng iD a sweet Vorce that roused the birds to emula- fon. ‘She wag about seventeen years of age, tall, slim and Bracetul, with a beauty unmistakably Evgiieh, aod yet more unmistukably patrician.

For acbange in her lile was close at hand—a change greater than eveu her vivid imagination would have dared conceive, That very hour wus the last she would ever know of coin- monplace existence, Perhaps it was as well that sho could not reud the strange tuture before her, else she might have shrunk trom it in terror and misgiving, proferring the safe shelter of the Zorlitz parsonage in the depths of the Black Forest to the whirling vortex, the perils and troubles lying in wait for her in the great “world outside’? Sho was still musing discontentedly when a sudden ritle-shot rang out sharply upon the air—a deer went flying past—and a Atinging pain 1D the girl’s leitarm sent 4 thrill of faintness quivering throug! her. ‘A low cry escaped her as she reulized that she had been shot, That cry was echoed trom the horrined | jips of two huntsmen, woo bounded into the glude, and baltod abruptly at sight of her, “By Jovol”? cried one, speaking in the English language. ‘A perfect Diana, Glenhum!

As they entered the ite tle garden gate the old bousekeeper, Gretchen, caine out to meet them with loudexpressions of alargn at the evident weakness of her young mistress, She tairly worshipped the pastor’s niece, und Cecil torced a smilo and disengaged her arm trom its support as sbe said :— “Hush, Gretchen, you will alarm my uncle, lam not seriously hurt.’ She hastened to explain the recent accident, and then invited her compauions to enter the Louse, Not now,” answered Lord Glenbam, —**sut we will ‘avail ourselves of your kind invitation to-morrow. ”” He raised his hat courteously, and waited until Cecil bad entercd the dwelling with her old servant, and then he led the way down to the village, ‘At a little distance trom the parsonage Lord Glenham halted and looked back, a hew light in his eyes, a pew glow on his taco, “So he loves her, too!" thought Crafton, his soul convulsed with bailied fury, But he has not won her, ‘and he never shall, For t jove her, o—this patrician beauty of the Blick Forest—1 love hgr, and I swear by ali that is holy that «he suallbe my’ wife.

Absorbed in his books the Herr Pastor paid little heed to the visitors, whom Cecil entertained. June faded into July, and August came and went, and sull the Englishinon lingered at Zorlitz, No one but sharp oyed old Gretchen suspected that they were the overs of “little Cecil,” or saw the change in her young mis- or a. ‘She loves the English Jord,’ the old woman sald to herself, well contented, “And be loves her, Tho Horr Pastor 1s failing—no one can see tt but I—but when he dies the little traulein will have a grand homo end a protector, and will not de driven to earn hor own living, 48 1 have often feared,” It was plain to Crafton thatthe young ear! was tho favored luver of Cecil, but this conviction by no means dampened the ardor of his own love or caused him to desist trom his suit “f shall win her!’? be said to himself grimly, “1 can work and wait, In spite of any oustacle in my path, fu spite of Glonham’s beauty, rank and wealth; in spite of the tacteven that the girl loves him aud dine likes ine, I wili win her, 1 devote mysell, mind and heart and soul, to the task; but, if I should Isball pot—1 would utterly destroy the girl before any other should possess ber!’’ ‘The hard, evil look in bis eyes attested the truthful- bess of this declaration. ‘Asthe month of August drew to a close Lord Gle: ham began to make Ly hogy to quit Zoriitz, as he had to revurn home to keep his ongagements with a party of guests whom he had invited to spend the month of September with him, at his shooting box in the Scottish Highlands, On the eve of his departure avowed Bis love he called upon 0, for ‘The old Ceci! and asked for her hand in marriage. deeply moved, aud, u young nobleman a secret which al- bane a profoundly, Ou recovering from the shock “Does Cecil know her history?” ‘No; I have not dared yet to tell her,”* ‘Then keep it @ secrct still trom her, ust never know it.
