Thk Republicans of the lower House

The increaw? of railroad mileage in

another signal illustration of the tremen

l'n:ted States have enjoyed tinder the
protective tariff for the past quarter of a
century.

Congressmen have died J. M. Hums, of
Miiwouri ; U. W. Townshend, of Illinois;
K. J. iray. of Louisiana, and James

and fair count, a Republican will be
elected.
Accoiuhso to one set of Itemocralic
journals, the surplus in the Treasury is
accumulating so rapidly as to endanger
business ojierations, by creating a dearth
in the money market; while, according
to another set, Tanner is squandering the
nurplus so rapidly that the bankruptcy of
the Treasury is not far distant. Mr.
Showman, which is the monkey and
which the elephant? My little dear,
"you pays your money, and you takes
your choice !
It appears to be virtually decided in
advance of the coming State Convention
that Mr. E. A. Bigler, late Collector of
Internal Revenue in this district, will be
the Democratic nominee for State Treas
urer. This may somen hat impair the
majority of Mr. Borer in this "neck of
woods," as the moonshiners in the moun
tains of Fayette and Somerset counties,
who have had undisturbed possession of
the traffic in whisky for the past four
years, will undoubtedly Bupport the late
easy-going Collector.
The I lemorrala of Perks county are
indulging in a bitter fight over the nom
ination for Judge in that county. The
present occupant of the Bench Judge
I lagerman is a bitter partisan, and is
using all the arts of a political roun ler
to secure a renomination. lie attended
a ward meeting a few nights since and
made a speech to the heelers and strikers,
denying that he had ever voted for a lie
imblican. It is a family fight, in which
the Republicans have nothing to say, but
we hope, for the dignity and decency of
the Judiciary of Pennsylvania, that the
detpagogue who thus drags the judicial
ermine through the dirty iiool of politics,
w ill be soundly beaten.
At the Republican StateConvention in
Virginia last week, deneral William Ma
lioms was nominated for (iovernor by
acclamation, all the factions w hich have
liitherto rent that State, concurring, vien
ral Mahooe isa fighter f.om "way back,"
and the hanuotir displayed in his nomi
nation presage a Republican victory.
Virginia was carried Xor Cleveland last
Year by a trilling majority, and this was
Mecurred by systematically blocking the
I Kill and preventing the colored vote
from being cast. Had the election been
fair, General Harrison would undoubted
ly have carried the State.
With a solid and well organized party
at his back that will lend all its energies
to secure his election, we anticipate the
success of General Mahooe by a rousing
majority.
Tm ImOutoh Vitrrrrr, of Philadelphia,
was on the tide of prohibition during the
fate contest over that iu in this State.
Hut concerning the Brooks bih taxation
li.rnor law. which the Republican iarty
placed upon the statute bocks, the W
mr frankly says: The Brooks law is
tbe bsst liquor law we ever bad in Penn
sylvania; and w herever it is strictlv en
forced it has resulted in greatly kmsening
tbe evt'ta of the drink tratlic It lias clos
ed about t,VK) saloons in Philadelphia
and several thousand more in Pittsburg
and other counties of tiie Plate; and we
think it is safe to say that this is more
than any prohibitory amendment or law,
either in Maine, low a or Kansas, ever did
within the same time."
This is a significant statement, coming
from such a source, and it ts worth the
attention of every thinking man in the
Hate, do matter what his rty allilia
tions may be.
Thk n.Miiination ft "Farmer" M iller
by the Republican Convention of No rtJ
Dakota is the ciuivalent of an elect k n.
For Mr. Miller is the choice not only f
the convention but of the Farmers' Alli
ance alio. But it tnnsl not be siipiosed
that Mr. Miller is in any way a "coin pro-mi.-
candidate ;" he is a republican of
the Stalwart type, and was so thoroughly
the choice of the convention as to have
secured his nomination upon the first
ballot.
Tbe fanners of the Republic are the
s..ul end framework of the R. publican
rty. Tin y uwue the State of New
Yuik from control by the Democratic
mob of the city of New York. They
swell the majorities which the manufact
uring cities of Pennsylvania cast for Re
publican Presidents. They secure an
uubroken line of success to the Republi
can trty in Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Il
linois, Wisconsin and Oregon, and they
often turn the tide of battle in the close
States of Indiana and Connecticut. It
has been and is a matter of profound re
gret to the free traders of the Southern
tier that they have been able to make no
impress on the almost solidly Republi
can ranks of the Northern agriculturists;
and it is becoming a matterof even deep
er regret to them that the Southern farm
ers are learning the advantages of those
home markets w hich protection creates.
The growth of protective principles
among the farmers of America is con
stant, and this now can be said of the
Sjiithfrn as well as of the Northern agri
cult urintR.
The North Dakota Republicans made
no mistake w hen they nominated Farm
er Miller.
Congress In October.
Waxiiikotok, Atitrubt 26. Whether Rep
resentative Owen, of Indiana, was commis
sioned by President Harrison to convey to
the public tl information that an extra ses
sion of Congress will be called in October U
not known, but it looks very much that
way, a Mr. Owen cam direct from Deer
Park to-day, and pave thia news to the pub
lic It is probably authentic. Mr. Owen is
a clergyman, and has a pood reputaliou for
veracity. He is a warm friend of the Presi
dent, and wan doubtless given the uews
whli the purpose of having it tro out to the
public and set at rest the queries in regard
t the called session. It is however, nearly
confirmatory ol what has been generally
looked upon a true.
The extra session will, under the present
arraiifrement, lie called lor the 21st of Octo
ber. The President has learned that before
that date all of tbe returns of the elections
in the new Slates will be in, and the new
R''iiretuiativcs and Senator have time to
reach the capital. At tti extra session the
liit move will, of course, be to elect a
t-in-aker. Then two or three week, will be
spent in the formation of committees, and it
U probable that little else will be accom
plished than to orv'aniae, the House previous
to the beginning of the regular session on
the first Monday of December.
Tbe extra semnou will have to be called for
a cperiSc purpose, which will probably be
the question of the tariff, but until the con
mitlees are apiwinted not a step can beta
ken to nrefare a bill, and to prepare a tariff
bill w ill require week, if not months. The
tariu" bill passed by tbe Senate at tbe last ses
sion was not acceptable to many of the lie
publicans of the House, and w hile it will be
of great assistance in the preparation ol a
new bill, much lime w ill be reuuired to ir-
fect it. It is. therefore, improbable that
anything will be done with the tariff at the
calleJ session, or that more w ill be accom
plished than an organization. This will in
volve a report of new rule from tbs Com
miltee on Rules, and discussion of these w ii!
probably occupy all ol November after the
announcement of the oniruit:ees.
This semi-offida! announcement of the
extra session will have llieeftKt to hasten
the calling to the capiul of many members
of Congress, especially the candidates for
Sjieaker. McKinley is expected next week,
and Ueed, and Cannon, and the others, will
tpeedily follow.
Judge Field's Ancestry.
From the ("iucinr-aii Eultuircr.
Tbe attack of Terry upon Justice Field
has retailed attention to and reawakened in'
terest in one of the most celebrated of Aruer
ican families. Tbe 6n-t of the line to attain
prominence in this country was Timothy
a captain in the Revolutionary army, and a
man of much mark in his time. His son,
David Dudley Field, V. D., was a Congrega
tional clergyman of Connecticut, born in
ITht and dying in lwr?, at the ripe age of .
lie was famed as a New F.ngland historian
and published many local histories, but his
chief claim to renown and his great glory
lav in the brilliant record of his four ia-
mous sons.
Tbe oldest of the four, David Dudley
Field, has long held rank as one of the lore
most la era of New York; Henry Martin
Field is one of the leading divines of tbe
continent , Cyrus W, Kieid has an everlast
ing monument in the Atlantic cable, tbe
creature of his genius and his energy, and
Stephen Johnson Field is one of the ablest
aud purest of ibe Judges who have adorned
our Supreme Bench.
You shall search tbe hint or r of our tirutst
in vain to find four brothers who have at
tained to such deserved eminence in such
varied walks of life. Il U, indeed, a famous
family.
The Third Party Convention.
HABKiMtm., August 3U. Tbe third party
Prohibitionists will begin the preliminaries
of their State Convention Wednesday after
noon, when the Executive Committee will
meet in the rooms of the Y. M. C. A. In the
evening the Stale Committee will convene at
the tame place. Simultaneously w ith this
meeting, a demonstration wilfbe held in the
Court House or outside of it, which will be
ad.lressed by several prominent prohibition
sjxsikers. After the convention n Wednes
day, a mass meeting will be held in the
Ojra II juse, to be addressed by Prof. Sam
uel Dickie, Chairman of the Prohibition
National Committee, and J. W. Nichols, of
Illinois, and others.
The State Convention will meet at nine
o'clock for devotional exercises, and an hour
afterward Acting Chairmau Stevens will call
it to order for business in tbe absence of
Chairman Baiker, who is ill. Tbe Chair
man has engaged rooms at the Bolton
House, at which place credentials will be
received to-morrow evening. Indications do
not favor a very large convention.
A Path to Liberty.
J.u ssos, Miss , August 20. A great sen
sation has been unearthed at the Slate
prison. The matricide. Irving Ballmer,
whose crime and trial created such wide
spread attraction, has been detected in a
plot to bluw up the prison, and a quantity
of explosive has been found within the
prison wall. Iitimet was locked in the
solitary dungeon at onoe on the discovery of
tbe plot.
For six weeks past tbe Warden has ex
pected that Iiimer was at the bead of a
daring and devilish scheme to blow up the
prison, and he has leen watched closely.
Last Friday a "lumjier," or chore man, was
detected in getting a pickageover the north
wall, which had been thrown over by onl
siders during the nigtit. A watchman got
the package, having traced il to Latimer. It
contained a quantity of hercules powder,
one of the most powerful explosives. War
den Hatch has refused 10 state the details,
and wants to keep the matter quiet so that
he may catch lAtimer'i outside accomplice,
and be will not state what Ijuiiuer says
about it.
From other, but reliable, sources It is
(earned that old prisoners have made use of
Latimer's money and teenred outside in fl u
tnce to t-xecufjthe scheme w bich would, if
entirely suwfwful, hare destroyed the pris
on and let 8'Xt convict lot. This scheme
has been contemplated for tbe put year an 1
did not originuie with Latimer. i
Johnstown Citizens Meet.
Joiirero as, August SC. The meeting of
busiwMi iiKi! here to night, called to discuss
the question of bringing suit n;;irwt tbe
South Fork Fishing Club, was a lurge one.
over 1 business firms being represented.
John Thoinaa. of John Thomas & Sons, pre
sided, and made a statement to the eflect that
his firm bad determined to bring suit to test
the liability of the club for damaeesdone by
the breaking of the reservoir. They had ob
tained legal advice to tbe eflect that there
wa good grounds lor case, but at the in
stanne: of other btisinesa men had Hirreed that
if monli Twrns were willing to join, this
should I made a general case and Ibe
meeting to-night was to deiermino what the
others wished to do in tbe matter. Mr.
Thomas said that Messrs. W. Horaoe Hose
and Jobn P. Linton, Eq., of this place, had
acreed to fully examine the matter for a re
taining fee of $1.0tJ and reiort whether
there was any chance of holding the indi
vidual members of the club liable for tbe
damages sustained in the valley. There was
little doubt, he said, but that thecliib would
be held for the amount lor which they were
chartered and fr the value of the property
belonging to the club. Mr. Thomas said
he had it from a Pittsburg attorney of repu
tation that the club had violated its charter
rights, and therefore the individual mem
bers would be liable for damages for tbe
amount of their possessions. If this fact
could be sustained there would be no trouble
to recover the full amount of the losses sus
tained in the valley.
. VKl.EU TUAT SCIT BK SBOIH.HT.
Louis Wher, a shoe mercliant, urged that
the suit be brought and the matter decided,
sayii.g that the people here owed it to them
selves and to posterity to have the matter de
termined. Doctor George W. Wagoner said he be
lieved they had a just case, and it was their
duty to tight it. Thomas Fearle, of the
Johnstown Milling Company, thought they
ought to be held liable. Frank Hoerle said
that he had heard that the Gshing club had
settled with a South Fork resident by pay
ing him $..uuO for the losses lie had sustain
ed. He was also told by Aent L-:man, who
lived at the lake, that it was probable that
the fishing cluo would be willing to com
promise on a settlement of all claims.
AS OHIO ATTORNEY VIKJVS.
Doctor A. N. Crawford said he had a let
ter from a prominent attorney in Ohio who
had recently tried a case similar in almost
every reseet. In this case the plaintiff sus
tained damages, and upon appeal the decision
was sustained by the higtier courts. The
attorney referred to was General Thomas
Sanderson, of Youngstown. Mr. Petriken
urged that united action be taken and the
matter fought out in the courts.
A number of others nia le speeches urging
that suit be brought, aud on motion a sub
scription was opened to raise the $l,U00 fee
and the amount was quickly collected, a
number of those present having to be re
strained from giving too much, in order that
all might be able to j jin. A committee was
apx)iuted to take the money and employ
Messrs. Rose and Linton to thoroughly in
vestigate the matter.
A Tragedy by the Sea.
Atlaktic Citt, N. J., August M. The
summer sojourners and residents along the
end of Tennessee avenue were thrown into
a tremor of excitement about noon to-day
when it became known that one w oman had
stabbed another in one of tbe collates. Tbe
place where the tragedy was enacted is known
as Noll's coitage, an unpretentious structure
near Pacific avenue. A week aro a party
consisting of Robert Kiy Hamilton, wife
and child, and a maid named Mary Donnel
ly, all of New York, registered at this place.
The man aud woman had frequent quarrels,
aud made themselves generally disagreeable
to the rest of the1 guests.
Shortly before noon to-day, while tbe roan
and woman were in their bed room, aud
their child, but eight months old, was sleep
ing on the bed, sounds of a furious quarrel
"were heard coming from the room. Mary
Donnelly, the maid, who happened to pass
the door at the tiiue, rushed into tbe room
w ith the intention of gettiug the child out
of harm's way. In the centre of the floor
were Hamilton and bis wife, both clinched,
and evidently beiit upon doing one another
bodily harm.
SHI liRtW A DAOOKR.
In attempting to reach the child the maid
was forced to separate the comlntauts. She
half shielded Hamilton's body with her
own, when tbe wife snatched a Mexican
dagger from her bosom and plunged it to
the hilt in the pit of the maid's abdomen.
The frenzied woman watched the effect of
her work with all the fierceness of a tineas.
Reaching over the prostrate form of her vic
tim, she plucked out the weapon and coolly
wiied of! the blood with a handkerchief.
The cries of the maid attracted the atten
tion of Otlicer William Biddle, who rushed
into the bouse, and after a desperate tussle
with tbe man and woman succeeded in get
ting them into police headquarters with the
assistance of a fellow officer.
The scene in tbe bedroom was a horrible
one. Ou the floor lay the victim, with her
intestines hanging out and the blood stream
ing from the ghastly wound.
Ttie history of Hamilton is as romantic as
the tragedy is thrilling. He is a son of Maj.
General Schuyler Hamilton, of New York,
enjoys an endowment of $18,0(Xia year from
a deceased ancle, and has a very lucrative
law practice in Vcw York. His wife was a
notorious character, both as woman of ill
repute and t morphine victim.
She has several aliases, and for years rom
ducted one of tbe most notorious dens of in
iquity in tbe metropolis. Hamilton met her
three years ago, and after a number of clan
destine meetings, was forced into marrying
her. At the birth of their child they engag
ed Miss Donnelly as maid, and started for
California. They wandered all over the West
and reached here one week ago. Hamilton
was for eight years the representative of the
Murry Hill district in the New York Assem
bly. Cruelty In the Army.
St. Ixii ih, Augbst 20. The PuM Vi'i-d. h
prints another chapter of its army expose,
secured through the medium of a reporter
who enlisted to obtain the inner working of
army life. It shows a terrible state of affairs
at Jefferson Barracks, alleging that recruits
are treated like dogs; men are strung np by
the wrists until they swoon from weakness ;
that brutal Sergeants deem no cruelty too se
vere; how an insane man was heartlessly
tortured, while common soldiers are impris
oned at the whim of their superiors.
It is also charged in tbe expose that in the
guard house where prisoners are packed into
an enclosure 30x40 feet, the sanitary condi
tion is terrible. There are no provisions for
tbe ordinary call of nature and tbe place be
comes a breeder of pestilence. The prisoners
are kept from sleep by vermin and their sur
roundings are all revolting in the extreme.
The Reward of Virtue.
Miphletowx, August 24. At the late
special term of the Madison County Circuit
Court, Justice O. A. Forbes filed a decision
in the novel and much-litigated suit of Will
iam G. Story, Jr of Canastota, against tbe
estate of his late uncle, William E. Story,
Sr.. of Erie county.
The plaintiff's complaint set forth that
when be was 15 years of age his uncle, after
whora he was named, promised him that if
he would alrstain from card playing and
from the use of intoxicatirg drinks and to
bacco until he was 21 years old he would
give the nephew fj.Ouu when he had attain
ed his majority. The plaintiff alleges that
he complied with the conditions exacted un
til be became of age in 1875, but tbe uncle
failed to fulfil his agreement, and on his
death in I8s7 the money was still unpaid.
Action was therefore begun rgninst the estate
of the deceased man to in force tbe payment
of the $j,0AI and interest. The defense
maintained that tbe claim was void by rea
son of its being barred out under tbe statute
of limitation.
The Court ruled for the plaintiff on all
points and ordered that the nephew
should bavej udgment for the full amount
claimed and costs.
A Dangerous Fluid.
Nsw Yokk, August 2i The Mnllenl lUc
ord will publish a report on tbe elixir of Dr.
Brown-Hequard. luider tbe title of "An Kt
perimcntal Study of the Brown-Sequard
Theory." The reiort from Dr. Henry P.
Loomis, who thus makes public the results
of the experiments conducted In this city
under his direction. Dr. Loomis points out
that there is notbingin Dr. Browa-Seqnard's
own account of his own experiments to sup
port the accusation that he claims to have
discovered tbe source of jierpetnai youtb,
but rather a fat denial of any such conten
tion. He rwpniae"l tb d inger of misrep
resentation, and maile an cflort to provide
against it. He ouly says that the elixir was
apparently Wnetidal iu its action and that
there was a prospect of it becoming more so.
Dr. Loomis' observations are summed up as
follows : '
I can see no reason to. anticipate danger
from the use of the fluid prejired under
proper antiseptic precautions, provided the
material used be absolutely fresh and free
from all trace of disease. My attention was
called to the necessity for the closr scrutiny
in this last particular, by having discovered,
in specimens taken from an apparently
healthy animal, a solitary tubercle in which
were demonstrated tubercle bacilli. In none
of the cases have I seen any bad results and
only in a few has there been a moderate
amount amount of pain at the point of in
jection, lasting from six to eight hours.
I can explain the singular nervous affec
tion in certain of the cases only on the the
ory that uiion the nerve centers the mixture
exerts some powerful, but as yet unexplain
ed influence, which, even if its use be event
ually proven beneiw ial in some caset must
render its employment in others a matter of
caution. It is fur from safe to say and pro
ceed upon the belief that "if it does no good
it can do no harm."
I seem to see in almost all the cases of old
men subjected to tbe experiment an increase
in strength and vitality which certainly per
sists for several days. I have noticed noth
ing in the least resembling the secondary de
pression which so commonly follows the use
of ordinary stimulants.
When nsed in cases of actual disease no
modification of pathological conditions or
processes has been recognizable.
I tnerefore conclude : First That the in
jection of this mixture does, as claimed, pro
duce "nutritive modification" in the tissues
of elderly men, due probably to the stimula
tion of the nerve centers. Second As far is
my experiments are concerned, sufficient
time has not yet elapsed to justify an affir
mation or denial of the correctness of Dr.
Brown Sequard's second conclusion. Third
There is in the theory sufficient ground
for further experimentation.
Tbe liecor-1 editorially condemns the use
of the elixir.
Ten Thousand Tickets Wanted.
IlARBistii Bu, August 2J. The work inci
dent to the furnishing of transportation to
Gettysburg on Pennsylvania Monument Day
to soldiers who participated in the three
days' fight, has thm far required the servic
m of Odone! D. 8. Keller, of Bellefonle, and
three clerks fir several weeks. An addition
al force was pressed -jito service to-day, ow
ing to tbe large number of applica'ion re
ceived for free transportation under the act
appropriating J-jO.OUOV Every mail brings
hundreds of applications, and up to this
time about 4 10 have been recorded. In a few
days tbe business will be so shaped as to en
able a proper application to be disposed of
21 hours after its receipt. Biank applica
tions for transportation, prepared by the
Gettysburg Commission, having charge of
the dedicatory ceremonies, have been furn
ished to secretaries of the several regiments
that participated in the battle and by them
distributed among the veterans. Many
blanks have also been sent to individuals on
request by the department here. Kvery in
quiry has been answered, either by letter or
circular, as promptly as possible. Eleven
hundred applications were received yester
day, besides a Urge number of miscellaneous
letters. Tea thousand is a conservative esti
mate of the number of applications that
will be received before Pennsylvania Day.
On the receipt of a i application the record
of the soldier therein is immediately com
pared with the official record here. If enti
tled to transportation, an order on the rail
mad company for a ticket is at once for
warded. K.tcb ticket furnished by the rail
road company on tbe order of the Adjutant
General will have to be signed by the person
entitled lo receive it, and it will not be good
for return passage unless the bolder identi
fies himself as the original holder lo the sat
isfaction of General Hastings or his author
ised agent at CI ,-ttysburg, where the holder
wii! again he required to sign the ticket.
The veterans will be provided with state
tent during their stay at Gettysburg, and
no expense will be entailed on them except
for putting up the canvas.
Souvenirs of the Rebellion.
Albi-qckbe, N. M.. Aug. 19 Lmt Fri
day Captain Jack CrawforJ and Major T. T,
Teel arrived in this city for the purpose of
having Major Teel locate the place where he
had buried some cannon iu W1. At that
time Albuquerque was in possession of the
rebels, and Teel 's battery was a "part of Gen.
Sibley's command. To prevent tbe cannow
from falling into the hands of the I'nion for
ces Major Teel and some of his ollicers bur
ied the cannon at the dead of night. The
Common soldiers knew nothing of it, and
the other officers since died or w ere killed,
nd Major Tel alore knew the spot where
ttie cannon were buried. He pointed out
tbe spot and then went on his way to El
Paso. To day digging was commenced, and
but a few feet from where fas indicated the
cannon were found. Eight were unearthed,
and it is supposed others will be found.
They were some six feet deep, and when ta
ken out after twenty-seven years' burial
were as bright as the djy when buried, but
they quickly turned black on exposure.
They are twelve-pound brass howitzers, and
probably three feet long, stamped " U. S.,"
showing that they had been captuud from
I'm le Sam, and bear the mark of the manu
facturer, C. A. A Co., Boston. It is su pois

Three Killed, Thirty-Eight Hurt.
Ksoxvillc, August -1. A horrible wreck
occurred on the Knoxville, Cumberland Gap
and Louisville Railroad at Flat Gap Creek,
twenty-two miles from here, at 1U:30 this
morning. The train was the first to go over
tbe new road and carried a select excursion
of tbe City Councils, the Board of J'ublic
Works, Represent ttives of the Chamber of
Commerce and Ibe very flower of the husi
nesand professional men of slnoxvilie.
The train of two cars It ft the track at a
crossing, and the rear car went down a tres
tle. Only one man in the car was uninjured.
It was impossible to obtain medical aid for a
long time, and nntil 4. r. u., when the
train reached Knoivilie, scanty attention
was rendered. Many had to be brought back
on flat cars, and the last part of the journey
was made in a driving rain. Three men
died from their injuries, and others cannot
live.
Out of fiity-six persons on the train forty
one were injured. The most intanse excite
ment and sadness is apparent here lo-night.
Who was Aopointed ?
WAiiyxoTos, D. C, August 23 The
Fourth Auditor of tbe Treasury has trans
mitted to tbe First Comptroller a letter re
ceived by him from Andrew J. Wliittaker,
of Carpentersville, 111., in which the writer
says lie has seen in a Chicago newspaper a
notice of his appointment as Deputy Fourth
Auditor, and begs leave to accept the oifiYe.
Andrew J. Whiltaker, of Illinois, was duly
appointed to that office about two weeks ago,
and a gentleman who claims to be from Illi
nois, although recently engaged in business
here, appeand a week ago, qualified and be
gari the discharge of the duties of Deputy
Auditor.
The F'ourth Anditor lias sent the letter of
the second Atdrew J. Whittakerto the First
Comptroller to determine who is entitled to
the place.
It Was a Fatal Blunder.
PBKia-t)i R.i, W. V, August 23. At
10:.v o'clock this morning a collision oc
curred on Ibe Baltimore aniUOhio Railrocd
befaeen Petroleum and Silver Run tunnel,
on the Parkersburg branch, between the
west-bound accommodation train, which
should have arrived at Parkersbnrg at 11:10,
and an east-bound tjecial carrying a party
of bridge inspectors and other o'Hciais of the
road. Three men were killed outright, one
was fatally hurt and several others were se
riously injured.
WHEBK TUX BLANK LIES
Orders had been sent ost from Grafton ft'
the i-fxcial to run to Rathhonc's switch at
Silver Run tunnel and for the accommoda
tion to run to Petroleum. The engineers of
tbe resi.ective trains were obeying these or
ders, and the accident was the result of tbe
orders sent from the dispatcher's otSe at
Grafton.
Tbe accident occurred at a sharp curve iu
the track near tbe tunnel. So udden is the
curve that the engineer could not se tbe
track 10 y ar.ls ahead.
A CGASH OS TUX Cl'kVK.
Both trains weie running at a high rate of
speed, when suddenly they came in sight of
each other. Both engineers reversed their
levers and applied the airbrake, but it was
too late. In a few seconds tbe locomotives
came together with a fearful crash, and in a
moment more both trains weie laying across
the track, a mass of ruins, nnd atcore of
passengers were lying among the debris, all
more or less injured, while three brave traiu
men, who stood to their posts to tbe lat, lay
dead under their engine and another receiv
ed injuries from which he cannot recover.
The bodies of the dead men were taken to
Parkersburg. They were horribly mangled,
and scares;! v recognizable. Theacrommoila
tion train fortunately carried but few pas
sengers ami the special bail but one coach
otherwise the loss of life would have been
very great.
IT WAS a FATAL BLCVOEB.
Fabkebsbi b.;, W. Va., August 23. The
accident on the Baltimore and Ohio was
caused by wrong orders being given to the
engineers. The special was ordered to pass
the accommodation at Petroleum, the farther
poiut east, and the accommodation to pass
the special at Silver Run, the farther point
west. At the time of the collision both
trains were going 35 miles an hour. They
met on a sharp curve, and without a mo
ment's notice, dashed into each other, wreck
ing both engines and baggage car. A color
ed porter on the secial was thrown through
a glass door, and probably fatally injured.
There were some miraculous escapes.
The Killing of Terry.
Sah Fbasjcisco, August 22. The bearing
of a petition for the habeas corpus in the
case of Justice Stephen J. Field, of the Uni
ted States Supreme Court, has been post
poned until Tuesday next week, when the
question as to tbe jurisdiction of Federal
and State Courts will lie argued. The Uni
ted States Circuit room was crowded this
forenoon in anticipation that the question as
to the sufficiency of the warrant for the ar
rest of Justice Field would be decided, and
while the counsel for the latter desired that
the testimony should be at once heard to
determine whether there was any evidence
whatever justifying the detention of Justice
Field in connection with the killing of
David S. Terry. The opposing counsel con
tended that the question as to the jurisdic
tion ol the Federal court in the case should
first be decided. The case then went over
and that question will be argued before tak
ing any testimony.
Tbe lawyers are beginning to fear Nagle
cannot be held by the States authorities.
Judge Sawyer is reported to be doubtful of
their right to interfere in Nagle's case, as be
thinks Nagle cannot claim to be an officer of
theOircuit Court, as Judge Field can. If he
refuses to recognize the Federal right to In
terfere. Nagle will be promptly returned to
Stockton jail and will be tried there.- The
sentiments here in regard to his action still
remain divided, but in the country, judging
from editorialopinions. three-fourths of tbe
people believe he showed great eagerness to
kill Terry.
There is no way of proving or disproving
Peter Ashe's statement that Judge Heyden
felt, of San Francisco, received a letter from
Field offering his support to Terry jf Terry
would agree to support him for the Presi
dency. Field denounces Artie's statement
as a malicious lie, bat Heydenfelt, refused to
say a word.
A Kentucky Feud.
LocisviLLK, Angust 22 Wilson Lewis,
County Judge at Maria t Court House, has
just reached Pineville, keeking refuge from
enemies in his own oocnty. Wilson How
ard ia wanted at IlarWn for the murder of
George Turner, near there, the day before
election, August 4. The Sheriff and jailer
are relatives of Howanl and lake his side in
the Howard Turner feud. They have so far
refused to arrest Howard.
Judge Lewis went hist week with a posse
to make the arrest himself in lime for court.
He found Howard svrrounded by armed
friends playing cards. Howard and his com
panions jumjied up at sight of the posse and
a battle ensued. Spurlock, one of Howard's
men, was shot through the neck, it is be
lieved, fatally. George Hal I, one of the posse
was shot several times and will probably die.
In the fight both parties were scattered.
Meredith and Craig, of the Lewis party.
were shot on their way back to Harlan, and
badly wounded. Ts"o men who were with
thrm fur time were lost sight of and are
still missing. Judge Lewis aud those im
mediately with Lim were pursued for an
hour and fired upon several times.
There are rewards of $3,030 from the Gov
ernor of Missouri aud $,V)0 from Governor
Bin kner for Howard. He has about 50 well
armed men with him, and declares he will
not be taken. The people of that section of
tbe State are determined to be rid of the
odium of these feuds, and II iward will be
captured. This will end the Turner-Howard
feud as the Martin-Tolliver feud stopped
with Craig Tolliver's death.
Wreck on the Rail.
Steeatob, III , Augutt 20 Tiic vestibule
train on the Santa Fe route running between
Kansas City and Chicago met with a serious
accident at Kinsman, a smail station about
15 miles north of here, at 8 o'clock t'lis
morning. The train was heavily loadel
with Grand Army veterans and their friends
bound for the Milwankee encampment, and
consisted of several extra coaches. By the
spreading of the rails three coaches, two
Pullman sleepers and the dining car were
thrown from the track and down a steep
embankment a distance of probably 40 feet.
In all about 50 persons were hurt, and it is
reported that three of them have since died,
although the railroad authorities are en
deavoring to suppress the news. .

Makes the Blind See.
Isphf.min... Mich , August it. Dr. B. D,
Harrison and Dr. William Bichanlson, two
leading phytians of Sault Ste Marie, and Dr.
J- L. Fryer, of the Kmsas Medical School,
bave bes-o experimenting with rr-Brown-Srqnard's
.slixir. Tbe addition of paucmbi
lin to the so-called elixir has never before
been made, and was used in this case to ren
der assimilation of the elixir easier. Tests
were made on Solomon Hay, aged ninety
one, and on, Thomas Maffalt, aged seventy
six. The improvement in Marian's lame
ness was marked. He was stone-blind, but
after a hypodermic injoction claimed that he
could distinguish light and darkness.
Solomon was entirely blind of one eye and
nearly so iu the other. He bad walked with
crutches with extreme difficulty for years.
Fifteen minutes after the hypodermic injec
tion of 30 drops of the elixir lie declared that
he could see. He arose and walked to the
window withont crutches and distinguished
objects at some distance. B olh men are now
as well as immediately after the injection of
the elixir.
A Hunting Dog's Sagacity.
Yorc, Aug. 22. A professor in I lie Uni
versity of Pennsylvania who is summering
in this city is the owner of a hunting dog of
more than usual sagacity and an instinct
bordering on tbe mind power of man. An
outbuilding at the rear of the yard of the
professor's home is infested with rats, who
have made their lodging places beneath the
floor. Th dog attempted toexctrminate the
redtnts, but was too large to creep under the
building to get close to them.
When he discovered this he slowly strut
ted out of the yard and soon returned with
two rat terriers belonging to a neighbor.
The trio walked tandem through the yard,
the hunting d'g leading ami headed directly
ior the rat homestead. 1 lere the rat terriers
entered the small places through which the
larger dog was unable to creep, and, with the
aid of the latter's lusty barking, they suc
ceeded iu killing a number of the objection
able animals.
After finishing their task the hunting dog
led the terriers out of the yard again in the
same order in which they entered, aud con
ducted them to their home.
Through Niagara's Rapids.
Niauaba Falls, August 25. Carlisle D.
Graham made his fourth trip through the
whirlpool rapids to day at 4:10 o'clock. His
other three trips were made in IS3d and 17,
and after the last of them. Kendall, the Bos
ton policeman, swam the rapids with noth
ing on except a life preserver. Siuce then
Mr. Graham has been trying to build a bar
rel that would carry him over tbe Horseshoe
Falls, and it was for the purpose of testing
his latest contrivance that be made the run
to-day. - In the new barrel were two bags of
sand weighing about thirty pounds, and in
side attached to the bottom were two pieces
of railroad iron weighing about seventy-five
pounds. The weights kept the barrel nearly
straight. The barrel did not stop at the
whirlpool, but hugged the shore and contin
ued down the river to LewUtown. The
whole run of seven miles was made in just
twenty-five minutes.
A Farmer's Funeral Pyre.
Pisi Gbove, Pa., August 25. Philip
Heinickle, a German farmer of Pine Orove
township, aged 07 years, and living about
two miles northeast of the borough, deliber
ately set fire to his barn early this morning
and was himself burned up with it.
Just before midnight Mrs. Heinicle notic
ed ber husband was restless. He put on ex
tra heavy clothing, and bidding two of his
children, Eleanor and Emmi, who slept in
another room, good-bye, he went down
stairs, and, taking a handful of matches,
went to the stable, w here he loosened the
cattle, drove them in the street and fired the
barn. It is the supposition that he threw
himself into the llames, and when the ruins
fell together his body rolled outside the wall
where it was found this morning.
A Veterinary Wanted.
HtBRisBi&o, August 24. Thc owners
of horses in this city afflicted with
glanders have been unable to get Dr. Bruti
ner. of Allegheny, w ho in a letter to Gov
ernor Beaver declared that he could cute the
disease and'prevent its spreading to Harris
burg. State Printer Meyers, who shot a
horse supposed to have had the disease, has
sent four telegrams for Brunner to come to
Harrisburg, hut has received no reply. Mey
ers wants the dead horse examined for the
purpose of ascertaining whether he had the
glanders.
Bugler Russ, of the Governor's troop, has
also repeatedly wired Brunner to come here
and save the life of his valuable horse if pos
sible, with the same unsatisfactory result.
Found In Fitting Company.
Bostos, August 2. A flag captured by
the Ninth Massachusetts regiment on the
battlefield of Hanover Court House, May 27,
162, from a Tennessee regiment, and sent to
the late ex-Mayor Wightman, then Mayor of
Boston, was found in an old vault in the
city hall, to-day. It is of beautiful silk, with
white and crimson bars, with a large white
star on a blue field. It is inscrilied Cleve
land Guards," in magenta-wrought text let
ters across the bars.
Tbe flag, since its 27 years' sojourn in the
strong . room in the basement of city bail,
has had fitting company in the presence of
sitter fla.pi raptured from the men of the
Confederacy. One of these latter ia a large
Confederate flag Captured by Gen. Butler in
his New Orleans campaign, on the Mississip
pi, and sent to Boston. Another is a Con
federate pennant, captured with a blockade
runner off North Carolina.
