As the agreement between tlit two Conferance Committees, now stand upon the Legislative, Executive and Judiciary Appropriation bill, the sala­ ries of Senators and Congressmen will be $4,500 a year; the President's salary after the 4th of March next will be 825,000; the number of clerks to be dismissed is 7C5, one-third September 10th, one-third October 10th, and one- third November 10th; all clerks who receive over $1,800 a year will have their salary reduced 10 per cent. f3,- 600,000 is the amount of the reduction provided for by this bill. It was proposed dining the week that a pension of $10,000 a year be al­ lowed President Grant afteY his pres­ ent term of office, upon the grounds that he lias lost the whole of his fortune in speculations, but the proposition has found no favor in Congress.

Then BSfA fatal affray took place in Chi­ cago Monday afternoon between Alex­ ander Sullivan, Secretary of the Board of Public Workst and Francis Hatiford, Principal of the North Division High School, resulting in the d^ath of the latter. Mr. Hanford had written a let­ ter to Mr. Van Osdel, one of the Board of Education, setting forth that a -'ring" existed in the Board, for the purpose of controlling appointments by the Board, in which letter Sullivan's wife was mentioned as being one of the best diplomatists in the "ring." The letter in no way reflected on her character as a woman, simply as a politician. Mr. Sullivan and his wife visited Mr, nauford on the evening of the day the letter became public, and demanded a retraction. Mr. Ilanlordrefused to re­ tract, but would turnish proof Of the same at the proper time. Mi. Sullivan struck Hanford, knocking him down. He arose, and a scuffle ensued, in which it is claimed that Hanford struck Mrs. Sullivan in the face. Mr. Sullivan then drew a revolver and shot Hanford, from the effects of which he died in thirty minutes. Sullivan was arrested and now lies in jail to await the action of the Grand Jury. The affair has pro­ duced a great sensation iu Chicago, and Northern Illinois. Both parties are highly respectable. CUKli FDK HYDROPHOBIA. • Mr-Gilbert S.
