When a little whileago Hi s. Snoots' youngest child died quite suddenly, with all tho symptoms of having boon lHDi»Dnud, Mrs. Snoots disarmed suspicion by stating that it had eaten somo deadly nightshade that grow in tho yard. That was accepted as the cause of the child's death, and no post mortem was held. On July 5 the Uy oar-old daughter was taken violently ill und on the following day died in great agonv. The remains were hastily buried. IN CANADA. St. Louis, Aug. I.—The Globo-Democrat reveals another scheme by which it states that Jay Gould and tho Missouri Pacific Railway company have been swindled out of a large sum of money. It is not so big a thing as tho tie corner reported some days ago, but it soenis to show that various plans have lDoen wbrked for a long time to Oeece tho company.

Boulanger, which is expected to take plaoe this evoning at n point on the Swiss frontier, will bo one of the inu.t important events in the history of dueling, if tho amount of interest shown in the affair beforehand is to be taken as an indication of its gravity. The matter is the almost universal topic ot discussion in the clubo and cafcs of tills city, while in Paris tho excitement over it Is described as unprecedented. Mrs. Goorge W.

Mrs. Snoots is very handsome. Sho is 27 years old, and has boon married ten years. S!iu wts much agitated over hor arrest. She denied tho charges and said all of her children died from natural causes. Englishmen, who generally sneer at the tondoucy of tholr viuthern neighbors to retort to the code on slight provocation, depart from this view in discussing tho present inciiont. llioy admit that undor the circumstances Gen. Boulanger would bavt) been a poltroon had he /ailed to demand some satisfaction for M. Ferry's needless insults, and tho relative position of the two men makes the duel the only mode of settlement practicable.Nyack, N. Y., Aug. X.—Lightning Satnriay struck and destroyed a dwelling belong* iug to Supervisor William P. Hammond, at Stony Point, and also damaged a bouse at [laverstraw. When they were in American water, just opposite tho Port" Huron waterworks, whore tho detectives could take McGariglo, the Blako's line was let go, but at that instant a yawl was lowered from the Blake, containing McGarigle and a sailor, who made for the Canada side. McGarigle landed at Point Edward and came on to Sarnia, tho Blake remaining in the river till the afternoon. Philadelphia, Aug. 1.—During a. heavy Uiuudehitorm last evening one of the tanks it the Atlantic Oil refinery at Point Breeze was struck by lightning, and a loss of between $5,000 and (0,000 was the result. Among these and other frienda Mr. Hill was highly estoemod for shrewdness and btolnets probity, and he was the last man to suspect of gambling in stocks, because of his repeatedly expressed views against it and bocause of his moderate means. THE CONSTITUTIONAL CENTENNIAL. The Celebration of Philadelphia's Next Centennial an Asaured Success. Springfield, Mass., Aug. 1.—A severe thunderstorm visited this city about 1 j'clock yesterday afternoon, doing considerible damage. Lighting set fire to a house in State street, but it was extinguished without much damage. Several persons la the vicinity were affected by the shock, but none seriously. A number of shade trees were blown down and several streets were blockaded for hours. Philadelphia, Aug. 1.—Preparations for the celebration of the constitutional centennial in September aro progressing very favorably. The state of Pennsylvania has appropriated (75,000; citizens of Philadelphia have subscribed over $30,000. The following sums have been appropriated by othor states, viz.: Connecticut, 818,000: Rhode Island, 12,600; Delaware, $2,000; Massachusetts, (40,000. New Jersey has authorized the governor to send its militia at the coat of the state. Marylan J, Virginia and South Carolina have arranged to soud troops. The governors of those states, as well as thoss of Maine, New Hampshire, New Yorir, North Caroline, Oregon, Nebraska and Texas have ; accepted the invltutlon of tlio commission to come to Philadelphia. President Cleveland will presido at tho ceremonies, and Gen. Sheridan will be designated by the president to command the combined forces of state and United States troops which will take part in the grand parade. The civic and industrial display will ba marshaled by A. London Snowden. It is said that Hill went to the safe deposit oompany's vault last November and took out of the box a batch of St. Paul bonds, worth $50,000, and that at various times sinoe he has carried away $90,000 of Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul; $100,000 of Missouri Pacific of the issue maturing In 1909, and $100,000 of Chicago and Northwestern bonds. He is said to have dealt largely In New York and New England, Western Union, Delaware and Lackawanna, Reading and Jersey Central. Thobroak In Manhattan Elevated Is ■aid to have occasioned him great loss, and the failure of the Baltimore and Ohio deal, upon the consummation of which ho had spoculnted largely, Is given as the last strain which causeJ him to retire from the business of speculating. Frenchmen have always mado it one of their loading defenses of tho practice of rtuellug that it toifils to prevent wanton mendacity and unfounded personal accusations among politicians, by Imposing upon every one a sense of serious responsibility for his utterances. Though many recent encounters in the field of honor have lacked a motive which would vindicate this reasoning, the present affair Is not open to that criticism. McGarigle was driven from here to Courtright, twelve miles down the river, ostensibly to catch a boat He wa« driven back here, however, and is now in town. There are various rumors as to his whereabouts, the Chicago reporters stating that he loft for the east on th1) 10 a. m. train, but such is not tho case. McGarigle has his mustache and side whiskers still on and looks bronzxt after his trip on tho lakes. He is apparently nervous as to his safety horo, but the chief of police states that he has no authority to arrest him. The text is very particular to give us tlio exact limo of tho vision.

DANGER OF INUNDATION. Tho standing of tho League and American Association clubs to date Is as follows: The Chaniplonslp Record. Tho calling of M. Ferry to account can hanlly fail to check the vulgar abuse which has bcon pourod upon Gen. Boulongor front all quarters, apparently for no bettor reason than that he is too brilliant and aggressive a soldier and statesman to suit the crowd of mediocrities who, since Oambetta'* death, have divided pudlic attention among themsolvos without suffering too soverely by comparison with any genniao star of the ti nt magnitude, and who have cherished the hope of that comfortable state of things oontinuing.Disastrous Effects of tlw Floods at Augusta, (la.

From a few miles bolow the hdad waters of the Savannah to where it roachos the net its banks are overflowed and water covers vast areas on either sidu of its channel. The situation in Augusta is more than alarming; at least ono-half of tbo city is under water and rain is descending steadily. Notwithstanding the rain, however, tho river is si jwly falling. Tho detectives have arranged for communication between here and Port Huron in the hope of boing alile to get him over, but McGarigle keeps away from tho river and has been walking about, some of the back streets with tho party who drovo him to Courtright and back. The Chicago poiico have been notified of his landing hero, but have not ordered his arrest. Apparently he is safe on Canadian soil. On Friday last a gentleman walked into Mr. Thomson's office and surprised him by saying that nearly $300,000 had born stolen from tho safe containing the Lottlmer estate securities. Mr. Bloodgood and Mr. Thomson hurried up to the deposit company and found tho statement correct. The gentleman also said that they bad been appropriated by Mr. H1U, and told In whose hands they were. They were all delivered to three firms—J. R Newcombe & Oa, No. 6 Broad streot; Look wood & Crosman, No. 8 Exchange court, and Work, O'lCeefo & Co., No. 08 Broadway. Mangled by Car Wheels. It is possible that the duel may not oorae off after all, but no doubt is now entertained tliut it will bo fought either this evening or within a few days. M. Perry's friends are trying to bring about a settlement. The general's frionds, on the contrary, aro inclined to let the meeting take place, though they aro somewhat anxious as to the possible effect upon their hero's prospects should the result be fatal to M. Ferry. They seem to indulge no doubt that Gen. Boulanger will eomo out of the ordeal uiisoathed, and with bis reputation for coolness, bravery and skill enhanced, but they realise that tho tragic taking off of so prominent a public servant as M. Ferry would bo used as an effective weapon against Boulanger among a certain largb dlass of the French people. The duel will undoubtedly be with pistols, aa M. Ferry has the choice of weapons and is badly out sword practico. Newark, N.

This meant an inundation of from two to fivo feet of our highest streets, and tho probable loss of muny lives. Peoplo thronged the streets, and cries of fear and lamentation wore frequent and distressing. The hundreds that had relatives and friends near the reported scene of the break imlied In that direction crying for holp to follow to tho rescue. Later—Your correspondent hunted up Mc- Garigle and had a talk with him regarding how he got away from the sheriff at Chicago, or who helpod him. He would say nothing, except that ho camo down on the steamer Blake and was well treated. He says that he will open communication at once with his friends in Chicago and expects to go back tbcro soon. "I am not a bit worse than twothirds of the men jUi Chicago in oflloial positions," «Ud McGarigle. "I'll be back there again and tho people will be glad to see me.
