Fall River, July 26.—A series of dis graceful scandals in connection with the work of the Salvation* Army In this city culminated lato last night in some dt-i- terato work with a revolver, which laid out our persons, two of thorn with fatal in juries. Sarah A. Bishop, a pretty girl of twenty, who works iu the King Philip Mill and lives on Dwelly street, has been a mem ber of tlio Army ior about a year, and a regular attendant at its meetings. Among her many aduirers was Thomas Richardson, Jr., also a member of tlio Army, but gener ally considered a worthless fellow. Lately he has been working about a printing office in this city. A year ago Sarah’B father was displeased with the attention that Richard son waa paying tho girl, and told him to de sist Since then the girl has not encourag ed Richardson in his attentions, and Wil liam Thomas has been her most favored ad mirer. The army has for several days been hold ing a camp meeting in Westport, a few miles from this city, and among the crowd which went oat to it yesterday were Rich ardson, Miss Bishop, and two yonng men— Jesse Fitton and " illiam K. Russell. They came back together. Whoa near the effcer of Kiibonrn and Dwelly streets Richardson and the girl quarrelled, Rich- son upbraiding her for her conduct. Fitten and Bussell, who were walking a short dis tance ahead, were Btartled with tho report of a pistol and a scream from the girl. They ran hack toward Richardson, who held a revolver in hie band. The two yonng men grappled with Richardson, who discharged the revolver again and again. Ono hall en tered the left side of Fittou's head and an other entered the left side of Russell’s nook.

The First Napoleon could have done this, bnt, nnfortnn tely for Enrope, he was far from being a Washington, although ho had Wash ington'sgood example before him. He cared only for himself and his glory, and not for the people who placed him where he was. It is Lord Salisbury’s foreign sec retary, and not his Irish secretary, in the cabinet now forming who may hsvo most to do in the next six months. RADICAL POLITICS. Mr. Labouchere, like most Radicals, how ever, cures nothing for foreign affairs. He, too, is for war, but it is against the Tories. He says to-day: “If the Radicals and the Irish bold together they must before very long force the prdtion of tho enemy. I hold it our duly to exhaust every means to moke an anti-home rale government imppossible. We have solemnly declared that Ireland baa right to a, domestic Parliament. The Tones refnae to do this justice to Ireland. "Then Pharaoh declined to let the Israel ites go, Moves did not stick at trifles, but rain<d down plagues upon tho Egypt ana.

The weapon with which the shooting was done was a five-barreled revolver, all the chambers of which were discharged. Richardson was tning to reload it when he was arrested.

The flacky conduct of Fitton and Rmtsell in going to the rescue of the girl prevented tho execution of this threat. A COFFIN STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. ADJOURNMENT NEXT MONDAY. Xa A Frightful Carving Affair. The Illrcr anti Harbor UU1 Deadlock Btatna of the other Appropriation llllls. I Washinoton, July 29.—Indication* coihl tinuo fair (or an adjournment of Congress without day by next Monday. Should the President, however, decide neither to nor to veto the oleomargarine bill, friends of that measure will seek to post pone adjournment nntil Tuesday, on which day it will become a law withont tho Presi dential approval. The conferees on tho river nnd harbor bill talk lea* hopefully to-day of their pros pects for agreement, bnt the iatoe. are well defined and the differences may be reconciled in a moment whenever one side or the other decides t; recede. It is cot probable that a failure to .gree npon the measure will postpone an adjournment. The wont of tho remaining problems I be solved are embodied in the sundry civil bill, and the difficulty with these consists rather in their number than their character. There was ’a call lor a conference npon the measure tin* morning, bnt a quorum did not appear at the appointed time, and noth ing was done. The nnwillingness of the President to sign any bill until he has had time to study its provicions bat given rise to an appre hension that Congress will be kept m ses sion. to sfford this opportnnity, some days after the appropriation bills are passed. There is, however, believed to be little ground for this apprehension, for, although official copies of acta of Congress are not sent to the President nntil all difference. have been reconciled in conference and the results rat ified by the two Houses, yet all but the controverted points are open to .inspection, and may be examined in the printed bill* before conferee* are appointed, white prog ram npon controverted point, fa diiil/ae* forth in the Congresuonol Record. The President may therefore do es his predeces sors have done-keep up with the current proceedings and be ready with his Rpprov- ll or veto almost as soon s. completed measures can be examined and enrolled.

Ottawa, July 28.—Doting a terrific tb na iler storm which passed over this district last night an sppalliug tragedy was enacted in a cottage belonging to Joseph Godcrran, t about eight miles from here. Uodermn’s aunt had died the previous day, and last night several friends assembled to console tho bereaved relatives. Lamentations gave way to hilarity, which seems to have driven away all thoughts of the stoim which was raging ontside. While the mirth was at its height a bolt of lightning descended the chimney, and, striking the coffin which was near the fireplace, broke it open. Two young men, Eugene Garean and Francis X. Danvin, were instantly killed. The electrie fluid mado a circuit of the chamber, causing tho half dozen other occn punts of the room to faint with tho shock. It was many hoar* before any of them re covered, and consequently it was not nntil lute this afternoon that the particulars of the tragedy became known. Secretary Ttioiiip.oo’a Heady Wit.

William E. SmiiU in that position, has been tocmeuted by a large number of office-seekers sines he assumed charge of the appointing power. He has already learned to dlstioguiah the profeaaional place-hunter. A great propor tion of those who come to bim are, of ronrse, those who have applied to his predecessor and are still waiting. Their unquenchable de sire to serve their country and them selves in the Treasury Department leads them to attempt a little imposition npon Governor Thompson. Every day someone of them prefaces bis or her application with the statement: “Your predecessor, Ur. Smith, promised that I should have a posi tion on snch and sneb a day,” naming al most the hour when they were to receive their appointment. This little trick of theirs was related to Mr. Smith when be visited the department teat week, and, call log npon Governor Thompson a few min utes later, he remarked, good-naturedly “If you believe all the stories offleu-seekers tell you about me, you must believe me to be the greatest economizer of truth on earth.” "Ob, no,” replied the Governor, quickly, “I don’t believe that, bnt I am beginning to think you th. most pfataWa man in America."

But the record of tho marriage painted yesterday convinced them that he bad deceived them. Everybody in Red Hook, where the yonng print was very popular, tread the story and talked about it The Rev.
