A fetal accident happened on the pltuo of Albert Eshenbaugb, in Clay twp., last Tues day morniug. Mr. James Day, a youut{ una about 20 years of age, and a son of Mr. Johu Pay of that township, had dug a well for Mr. otd by Monday evening had it walled nearly to the (on. It rained Monday nigh , tnakin;; the muff around the well very slippy, and shortly alter Mr. Day and Mr. Eshenbaugh went to the well on Tuesday moraine, Mr. Day made a mi, and wait thrown headloa.* iiito it, struck his head on the walls goi»'4 down, sunk to the bottom, and did not rire. The well was thirty teet deep, ar.d ttere was about fifteen feet of water standing in it. Mr. E. rem red help, and grappling irons as soon as po>s |)le, and ;he body was recovered. This disaster recalls the one that happen ed in tfce adjoining township of Cherry, 2"> years ago. Two brothers named James and Jonathan Chris tie, lived on adjoining farms, and bad dug a well on James' place 40 feet deep, which was entirely dry. Some time after, one of the brothers had occasion to use tbe pick, when it was discovered that it had been left at the bottom of the dry well, so he pot the other to help him get it. James got in the backet and was lowered to the bottom of tbe dark aud deep well by Jonathan, but becatue unconscious immediately and Jona than rould get no word from t|im, so be got kelp as quickly as possible, and bad himself Iptttred jntq the well, bqt be ajio became uu contciou*, and fell from the bucket with one foot caught in it. Tbe other men drew hitn up nearly to the top, when tbe bucket collapsed and he fell headlong to the bottom. Auo'.ber man was then . strapped and lowered into the bole, but he signaled them to pull him up before goiog halfway dowo,and when pulled op was unconscious, tbe well being full of poisonous gaa. Tbe neigbbora then got grappling irons, and re covered tbe two dead men. They were both mairied men with families, and some ol their children and grand-children are yet living. LEGAL NEW *.

He ought to be removed aud another appointed. But tbe Governor finds himself in a dilemma, He cannot appoint a pro bate judge until a vacancy occurs,and no vacancy can be declared until the incumbent is adjudged insane. In order to effect this, ihe lunatic must be tried by jury and declared by pro bate judge to be insaue. No other persou in the country has this power. This is tbe first case of the kind which has ever ariseu in Kansas. Ex-Governor Biackburu, of Ken tucky, is said lo have predicted that he would die September 11, at 2::i0 p. m., and his prediction was veri'ibd almost to the minute. This recalls Dr. Blackburn's diagnosis of Presi dent Garfield'a case: "It is impossible that the President can recover," said Gov. Blackburn, "though Lc may lin ger a Jong tims.

Edward Wilder, of New York, has applied to an insanity expert in Brooklyn to have his adopted daugh ter placed in a private aylum. This one fact brought out a most remarka ble story. In a little frame cottigo on Liberty avenue in tbe town of New Lots, 27 years ago lived Louis Hart and his wife, Cathorine They had four remarkably pretty children. Three were boys, and the other, tbe youngest, Marguerite, was a beauti fui little girl but 18 months old. Their next door neighbor was Ed ward Wilder, a wealthy man, who seeing the struggle of Louis Hart, for existence, finally obtained his con sent to the adoption of little Mar guerite. She separated from her fam ily and grew up to be a handsome, intelligent girl aud tbe fayorite of her set. In the summer of 1883 her adopted falher, for she knew no other, took her t3 Newport, where she was the acknowledged belle. It was gener ally known that she was an heiress, and that, with ber beauty, brought many suitors to her feet. Among them was a handsome young Lieut enant of the Uuiied Stated Navy. He was a young man with many virtues and but few faults, and the result wa3 an engagement. Margu erite told her supposed father about the .matter, and he set inquiries afloat | as to the young man, bis pastr.nd his j future prospects. Then he poremp- j toriiy forbade the match. The daughter then told bun she would leave him to go away with her lover unless his consent was given, and then Mr. Wilder was forced to tell her that her lover was her own brother from whom she had been separated from infancy. The young lady faint ed and awoke in delirium. Weeks afterward when she grew physically better, it was found that her mind had given away, and when young Hart was acquaints! with the terri ble truth, he grew morose and mel ancholy, and a few days after com mitted suicide. Since that time Mar guerite has grown worse, until a few days her heart-broken foster parents Uacidjd to place bjr in an asylum, ! and then the sad story came out. Renfrew Academy.

A number of cases, says the Pills- Dispatch of 12th inst. were argued yesterday ia the Supreme Court. In one of them, t'ne counsel on both sides i-iduige J in considerable sarcasm and levity. The case iu poiot *vas that of Burrell two , Armstrong county, versus Albert Uncafer and wife The defendants sued for injuries sus tained by bsing thrown out of their wagou, their horse taking fright at an engine standing on the roadside. A verdict for S2O damages was ren dered in the lower court. The plain tiff in error, ia his brief, stated: "The 231 day of September, iu ths year ISSS, outiu the township o f ' Burrell, was a baluiy, lovely day. It came on Sunday. The sacredaess of the day did not prevent its becoming an eventful one to Jacob Uncafer and his family." In their counter statements, the de fendants ia error, said: The 23i day of September, in the year ISSS, out ia the wealthy and densely populated township of Bur rell, was a balmy, lovely day. The sacredness of the day did not prevent its becoming a sad, sorrowful and eventful one to Albert Uncafer and his family, nor a highly discreditable one to the authorities of the town ship. But. perchance, for the occur ence of that day,the historv of the pcrnieiousaess and shameful neglect of this rich township would have re mained unwritten. Ilad not the so licitations of his wife, made emphatic by the promptings of her heart, indu ced Albert Uncafer to take her and her babes b .ck to the place she once called home, to spend a portion of that sacred day in its hallowed walks among the scenes cf her childhood, its infamy would, perchance, have remained in obscurity. This monu ment, at least, to its everlasting dis credit, would never have been erect ed. Another case argued was the Over seers of Parks township, aa error to the Court of Quarter Sessions of Armstrong Couaty. The suit was over the forcible removal of Alexan der Williams, a pauper, from Parks township back to Gilpin township, where he had formerly resided and had a legal settlement- The briefs of the attorneys furnish aa interest ing bit of war history. The plaintiif says: Alexander Williams is what Alex ander Pope called the noblest work of God—'an honest man." And his name is destined to become historical in Armstrong county. He is not a learned man; but he has remarkable good sense and native genius. The boon of freedom was not his at his birtb, but in the dark and peril ous days of 'G2 and 'G3 on many bat tle fields he showed hi 3 devotion to lib erty and his native land by fighting in the armies of the Xorth. Further, he stated that when the "gallant soldiers" were mustered out, Williams came to Pennsylvania, lam ed from aa injury by a rifle ball. The statement of the other side em bodied the following: We are loih to say anything that will in the least detract from the beautiful word-painting and the gran diloquence of our friend, who has, by j a power of imagery that few possess, ! created a veritable hero from this colored pauper, especially when it in no way affects the case at bar or the question in issue. The facts arc that ha was picked up as a contraband and was engaged in the very honor-j able but trying position of a mule driver, and whether he was wounded by the kick of a mule or a rebel bui let, it is immaterial for the purpose of this case. But in all probability bis injury came from the former. A Law of 1887. Among the laws of 1887 is one to prevent and punish the making and '■ dissemination of obscene literature and other immoral and indecent mat ter. Section third imposes a penalty of a fine not exceeding SSOO and im prisonment not exceeding one year on tLose who deface walls by obscene lines or pictures. Fenceß,walls,floor, ceiling, closet, room, passage, hall of any part of any hotel, court house, depot, or other public places or build ings are included in the law, and any one who makes or causes to be made j therein or thereon, auy obscene draw- 1 ing or pictore, or print, liable to be i seen by others, is liable to suffer the ■ penalty of the law. —Chauneey Depew, who just re turned from Europe, says that j "Blaine is devoting himself to rest j and pleasure. I know positively that he has done nothing to help his j chances next year. I think he un derstands that he can have the norni- . nation if he wants it, but he has packed no conventions and pulled no wires. He will travel quietly this win ter and I do not boliavo he will lit auy Presidential ambitions bjih';r him. The leisure and variety of scenery he will enjoy will enable him to dear his mind in regard to po litical plans and, according to what he may decide, he will return home anywhere from April next until Ju n«," Bargains" For the next sixty days, iu order ito reduce our stock, we will quote special low prices ou all our stock.

The live coals from the freight engine ignited the debris under which the dead were ly ing. Before substantial assistance could be rendered many people had died. were mercifully killed by the first shock, bat many were slowly roasted to death. No one in the Pullman sleeper was hurt. The conductor telegraphed to bis com pany here that all escaped before the fire reached the car, and noue were injured in the collision. No means existed for checking the fire, and on ly when it had burned itself out was it possible to do anything for those stil! alive imprisoned in the debris.
