Concise Record of the Week. EASTERN. Ferdinand Ward complains of liarsli treatment at the hands of his keeper in Sing Sing prison. He denies that ho has any money left, but alleges that Warner received in excess of $1,000,000 from the firm of Grant <fc Ward. A misplaced switch on the Baltimore and Ohio Road sent a passenger train into the Youghiogheny River, at Bluestono quarry. Among the sixteen persons receiving injuries were C. E. Boyle, member of Congress from the Fayette District of Pennsylvania, and two Internal Revenue Collectors of that State, E. H. Bigler and John Dowling. A corps of physicians was sent forward by special train, and the wounded were removed to hotels in Connellsville. A man who has been playing the hemorrhage game along the roadways in the vicinity of Boston by means of a bladder of reddish liquid held in his mouth was thrown into jail at Waltham, after realizing considerable money. In the cellar of a house at York, Pa., tho remains of Mrs. Rosina Berg were exhumed by the Coroner, and about tho nock of the skeleton wero found a twisted rope and handkerchief. About a year ago she kept house for three men, but upon her disappearance the parties reported that she had gono to Germany. Sho possessed $1,500, and it is presumed was murdered for tho money. When Thomas Ford was convicted of murder in the second degree at Buffalo, and sentenced to life imprisonment, he pleaded with the Judge to change it to the death penalty. Being refused, he gave notico to the official that at the first opportunity he ■would kill himself. Horace Brigham Claflin, whose reputation as one of the greatest merchants of New York extended throughout tho country and to Europe, died of apoplexy at his country house at Fordham. Mr. Claflin was in his 74th year. Portland, Me., is still agitated over the reported resurrection of Joseph C. Dyer, who, it is claimed, was taken from his gravo by medical students, revived under their treatment, and is now somewhere in the land of tho living. The story, on general principles, is probably a canard; besides (an exchange,remarks, flippantly), one would imagine a Deyr the most likely person to stay died. Albert Fritz, an engraver residing at No. 183 Grand street, Now York, recently had a few unkind words with his wife about tho conduct of a child. Mrs. Fritz suffered so keenly from the incident that sho killed two children and herself with cyanide of potassium.
