George Beer met with a very painful accident yesterday evening. She was driving on Mt. Edward Road, in com- pany with Mrs. F.W. Beer and child and a servant boy. Mrs. F. H. Beer and the ser- vant boy got out of the wagon for the pur- pose of gathering ferns. The horse shortly took fright and galloped rapidly towards the City. At the Cemetery the wagon cap- sized, throwing Mrs. Beer and the child to the road with great violence, breaking her collar-bone. The child was unhurt. A LARGE pane of plate glass in the win- dow of Mr. C. Robertson’s clothing estab- lishment was broken in a _ very singular manner last evening. Mr. Robertson was standing in the store when he heard a sharp report from the window. On examination he found one of the large panes at the en- trance entirely cracked across, and in the middle of the break a hele not much larger than caused by a duck shot. From this we infer that the glass was broken by a shot thrown from a rubber catapult in the hands of some mischievous boy, and we re- quest the police to keep a sharp eye over boys wlon they suspect are carryins such instruments. A Drunken Freak.-——A man at the north end, yesterday, spread consternation (and milk) through his household. He har- nessed his horse, and drove him through the house, taking him in at the back door and out at the front, after making a tour of the rooms on the first floor. Then he re- turned to the house, leaving the horse to wander at its own sweet will. His wife, standing with a child in her arms, mildly protested against these proceedings, when he seized a bucket full of milk which stood near by, and dashed it over the woman and child. Then he performed a kind of war dance around the woman and child, smashed things in the house generally, and then went out to breathe the pure air of his suburban retreat.—Hx. Herald. Crurtry tro 4 Caitp.—Yesterday a wo- man named Sarah O’Rourke was arrested for illeged ill-treatment of her daughter, a girl of 16, who is a cripple, and unable to walk. It appears that, until yesterday, Mrs. O’Rourke and her two sons, with his crippled daughter, lived in the house No. 20 Maitland Street. Yesterday Mrs. O’Rourke and her two sons moved into a house on Grafton Street, taking with them all their household goodand chattels except the crippled girl. WUuring the day a man, living on Maitland street, went te look through the vacant house, when he found the little girl shut up in a seven by ten room without a chair or bench to sit on, with nothing left her to eat, and her naked- ness barely covered by one old rag of a dress. He promptly reported the facts to the City Marshal, who sent Sergeant Nick- erson to see about it. The Sergeant found the girl as stated. She is deformed an idiotic, unable to do more than wriggle around in a sitting posture, and to utter al- most incoherent gibberish. In addition to these sad and perhaps unavoidable circum- stances, she gave evidence of having been wilfully neglected, for her person was full of vermin, and her skin showed that she was an almost utter stranger to ablution. She was hungry, too. Some bread was given to her, which she devoured more as a dog would than as a human being—mashing it up in her hands, and forcing fistfuls of it into her mouth. A goodly sized box was procured, some shavings put into it, and she was placed therein. A rug was then thrown over her, and she was sent to the Poor House. The mother was afterwards arrested. She says she gave the child her breakfast, and intended to go back for her after night. This may or may not be true. The woman is a widow of the late James O'Rourke. She had at one time a crippled. son, Who died when about 20 years old. He had never been able to walk, and his A A ttt ae :sembling of Congress appeared to have been COREE Cae CLT tte ena t, a NEWS BY TELEGRAPH. The Pope Hi—A Disposition to Abdicate, THE CONGRESS. Movements of Austrian Army. (Special Despatch to Examiner. ) LONDON, May 31. A despatch from Rome to the Pall Mall Gazette says that the Pope is ill in body and distressed in mind by the plots and cabals de- signed to prevent reforms that he proposed. It is reported that the Pope manifests a dis- position to abdicate. Cardinal Franchie is doing his utmost to check the machinations of the Jusuits, who, on the other side, are trying to secure Cardinal Franchie’s downfall. Rome, May 31. The Senate to-day unanimously passed a resolution expressing sympathy with the fam- ily of the late Kari Russell. King Humbert has also telegraphed his con- dolence. Paris, May 31. A special to the Journal DesDebats from Ber- lin says that some questions of details between England and Russia in regard to fixing the: date of meeting are delaying the assembling of the Congress; but it will certainly commence sitting by the middle of June. BeELGRApE, May 31. Since the Austrian occupation of Adakaleh, it has brought the Austrian left wing in com- munication with Roumania. The right Servian lines at Kladova and Bessapalanka have been strongly reinforced as a measure of precaution. VIENNA, May 31. Count Andrassy, in replying to various questions in the Budget Committee of the Austrian Delegation to-day said, that the statement in Thursday’s London Globe might be in the main correct, m so far as the difficulties in regard to the as- removed. Germany, not only in regard to England, but in every respect, has been an honorable mediator. He hoped that the Austro-German relations in future, as in the past, would be especially satisfactory. The prospect of seeing Austria’s interest upheld at the Congress were of the best.
