A Sad Accident. Oneof the sad
dest accidents that has ever come to
our notice occurred in this borough on
Friday evening last, in which Louis,
eldest sou of L. H. Garner, lost his
life. The circumstances as near as we
can ascertain are as follows: Little
Louis, aged six years, with other chil
dren, were in front of Weis Bros,
store, playing "tag" or some other
childish game. Little Rosa, daughter
of Albert Weis, aged about seven
years, was with the party playing,
when she, it seems, pushed him on
the porch, which is about ten inches
above the sidewalk,' he falling it is
said by Rosa, face downward, by Louis
upon his back und his head striking
on the road. Ho was picked up in an
insensible condition, and carried home
by his mother. There was no thought,
at that time, of any fatal result, and
the usual home remedies were applied,
but at four o'clock Saturday morning
the little sufferer went into a spasm,
and the parents becoming alarmed,
summoned Dr. Hartman, who did
everything to releave the little suf
ferer. He lingered in a partially par
alized condition until Monday morn
ing at 6 o'clock, when death put an
end to his Bufferings. It is supposed
that the spinal column was eriected.
The case is a sad one and the alHcted
parents have the sincere sympathies
the entire community. M. Marys

Schuylkill county, report heavy losses
to farmers by the storm of last night
Several barns were destroyed by light-'
nirng, groin sheds and out house
were blown down In all directions,
and much Injury was done to the
fruit trees. Three thousand panes of
glass were broken by hailstones In the
green-house of Hepler & Hosklns in
this city.
West Chester, June, 6. A terrific
rain, hall and wind storm pnssed over
here last night. Houses were un
roofed, trees torn up and signs nnd
awnings sent in all directions. People
coming in from the country this morn
ing report the storm very severe and
much damage done to the buildings
and crops.
Lancaster, June 0. About 8 o'clock
last evening a terrUlo storm broke
over this city nnd portions of the
country. Hail the size of hulled wal
nuts, fell for near a half hour and
crushed down flowers, stripped the
peach trees and grape vines and in the
country adjacent damaged the tobacco
and wheat crops. Between 10,000 and
12,000 panes of glass were demolished
In the hot houses of Mr. George W.
Schroyer, florist, and many valuable
flowers and plants were destroyed.
Near Litiz a barn was struck by
lightening and consumed, with its
contents The telegraph tower at
Dillervllle had Its windows all demol
ished, while the storm was so great as
to stop the Harrisburgh express train
near Atglen for some ten minutes.
Terrible Western Tornadoes.
MANY PEOPLE KILLED FREAKS OP
THE WIND.
A terrible storm of wind nnd rain
pnssed over Northern Kansas and
Southern Nebraska on Friday evening,
May 30. It extended through almost
the whole northern tier of counties in
this State, but was most violent be
tween the Blue Rapids and Centennial
stations on the Central Branch Rail
road, and about thirty miles apart.
The storm moved in a direction a little
north of east, and passed into Neb
raska through Richardson county.
The town of Irving, Kansas, was
almost destroyed. At that place the
storm became a cyclone, and levelled
everything in its path. About forty
buildings were destroyed and fifteen
persons were killed, while from thirty
to forty were wounded. Among the
buildings blown down nre several
churches one a fine stone building
the public schools, the grain elevator,
the railroad depot and Wetmoro Insti
tute. The storm was extremely violent at
ond near Delphos, Ottawa county,
Kan., and fifteen dead bodies have
been brought in from two square miles
of territory. One man from Bcloit
was taken up in his wagon and thrown
to the ground again and Instantly
killed. A woman und child were
thrown against a wirefenceand killed.
Five persons were killed in one house
near Delphos.
Another tornado on the same even
ing struck the earth four miles from
Lee's Summit, Mo., and tore a furrow
through the country about a hundred
yards wide and ten miles long, levell
ing everythingin its track, and killing
and wounding several people. The di
rection of the storm was southwest
and northeast.
The house of Mr. Hani, near Blue
Springs, Mo., was demolished. Mr.
Hurris, his wife and children were
carried up into the air out of sight,
and dropped at different places and in
different directions from the site of the
house they occupied, the distances
varying from one hundred to two hun
dred yards. Mrs. Harris nnd one
child werckilled outright. Mr. Harris
died several hours afterward. One of
the other children was found in a pool
of water fifty yards fiom the house
with straw and grass wrapptd so
tightly around his head and shoulders
that it could only be removed with the
greatest difficulty. The child was
slightly injured, his escape being at
tributed to the mysterious bandage
around him. At this point the storm
cloud burst, but came together again
almost instantly with a terrific crash,
bounded from the earth and came
down again near the dwelling of Mr.
Gore, which it passed through, leaving
the side walls only standing. The
funnel-shaped cloud then rose high in
the air and disappeared in the north
west. The heaviest rain ever know in that
region accompanied the torliado.

Washington Letter.
Prom our regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Juno 0.
The anticipated nomination of Sec
retary MeCrary for the Judgeship
made vacant by the resignation of
Judge Dillon, was sent to the Senate
early In the week. When the report
was first started that this result might
be expected, there were seven denials,
nnd the President is said to hnve pro
fessed ignorance of it; but the con
firmation has come even sooner than
wan anticipated. So it seems that
President Hayes must have given up
his sentimental dream of an unbroken
Cabinet from the beginning to the end
of his term. There is considerable
speculation s to Who will bo Mr. Mc
Crary's successor in the Wo office.
Wayne McVcagh, of Pennsylvania,
has been mentioned very confidently
by some who profess to have the ear of
the Administration ; so also has the
Hon. John Hancock, of Texas. An
insane Ohio man said that Attorney
General Devens would be promoted to
secretaryship and Stanley Matthews
cws given charge of the Departmentof
Justice. But this is unlikely, espec
ially as the Senate would hardly con
firm him. Some of the more radical
Republicans insist that the new Secre
tary should come from the Northwest.
Quite likely the appointment of Mr.
Hancock would be far from satisfactory
to the President's party, und I hardly
think It is seriously contemplated.
Ills Excellency Is not as much of a
conciliator as he was once supposed to
be. Mr. Hancock Is a Democrat, and
was a member of the 44th Congress,
where he made a record for ability and
broad liberality. But he was defeated
for renomlnation, and among Republi
cans the charge Is made that it was be
cause of his record as a Union General
in the late war. At the election for
members of the 40th Congress he was
again a candidate, and this time
received the nomination of his party,
but was by some means defeated at the
polls it is said by the Democrats
themselves. The talk of his probable
appointment to the vacancy about to
occur in the Cabinet arises from the
fact that ho is now here at the bidding
of the Presideut, and that he is known
to have great influence at the White
House.
The Democrats have at last fixed
upon u plan of action, and there is
some probability that theapproprintion
bills may now bo passed in a shape
that the President will approve, and
that Congress will adjourn before the
end of the month. The plan agreed
upon is not satisfactory to at least half
the Democratic Representatives, but it
is the best that could bo done und pre
sent an unbroken, united front. It Is
proposed to re-enact the legislative, ex
ecutive and judicial appropriation bill
of last year, omitting all provisions for
paying marshals and supervisors, and
to pass the army bill with a proviso that
none oft he money appropriated shall be
used for the transportation ormainten
teuancc of troops on police duty at the
polls. The test oath is to be repealed in
a separate bill, which will be signed, us
there is no contest over that. With
the Democratic demands so modified,
all agree that the President cannot
veto any of the proposed bill. The
forbidding of soldiers to be paid for
performing police duty at the polls is
no ground for a veto of the Army bill;
the mere omission of the pay of super
visors und marshals caunot justify a
veto of the judicial appropriation bill
sinco there will be nothing objection
able in what the bill contains; and
the prohibition to pay money for
tilings not specifically authorized will
bo a mere re-enactment of certain
sections of the Republican statutes,
which have already the full force of
law. No doubt the President will
sign all these bills as ponn as they are
passed, and let the session end.
No city in the Republic, not even
New York, so swarms with adventur
esses as wnsuiugion, wnicn uus lor
years been the chosen field of the bold,
dangerous, wholly unprincipled tribe.
Thev can be counted by hundreds ; are
of every sort und degree. They nre in
the Departments, at the hotels, at the
boarding-houses everywhere thut a
man can be found, seduced or fright
ened. The missions are multifarious,
and their movements mysterious.
They are seeking positions ; they are
lobbyists, they have, or their friends
have, claims. They need personal,
political, pecuniary assistance indeed,
all kinds except the moral kind. Most
of them are black-mailers. The widow
Oliver was but one of many. They
are so crafty and treacherous that pub
lic men of reputation are afraid of, and
alwaysonthealert against them. The
late Salmon P. Chase would never,
during his official life at the capital,
see a woman he did not know inti
mately, except In the presence of wit
nesses. Many Congressmen, Senators
and other office holders have also
made it a rule to receive no visits from
a woman alone. Senator Chandler,
though not noted for delicacy, is par
ticularly careful on this point. So is
Ben Butler, despite his audacity and
recklessness. These and other public
men refuse to see women at their
rooms, or houses, or anywhere without
third persons. The experience of
others, if not their own, has made them
warry and apprehensive. They are
doubtless, many men not afraid of uny
man. We question if there be any
man not afraid of women. If there be,
he has surely never been in Washing
ton. Dom Pedro.

Sad Case of Diwwxinn. Ou
Monday evening last, the 2d inst.,
Charlie, youngest son of Major Jno.
McMurray, editor of the Democrat of
this place, aged about seven years, was
accidentally drowned In the race near
Mabon's woolen mill. He, in com
pany with another small boy named
Wilson, had been playing with floats
on the race, from which ho accldently
fell into the water, which Is at that
place live or six feet in depth. Little
Wilson was so frightened that he did
not give the alarm for some time, and
even after the alarm was given it re
quired considerable search before the
body of the drowned boy was re
covered. Medical aid was summoned,
but of no avail, the vital spark having
fled. Charlie was a bright little fellow
and the sad misfortune resulting in
his untimely death has brought a
gloom and sadness to the bereft house
hold which words cannot express. A
sympathizing community are with
them in their misfortune. Brookville
