believing that better acquaintance. on the part
Of the Turkish Government, with the power and

industry and Of establishing political relations
with Turkey, which might be Of the most essential
service 10 Us, have erorted myself 10 induce the

FRIEND GREELEY Are not ell good people
friends Coming to the capitol of this State from
the State Of Arkansas have witnessed the worst
arrangement of staging you can well imagine
Some l miles this side of Warsaw 20 miles from
here an intoxicated driver let drop OF his lead
lines and holding on to the three brought his team
to hastily in a position to upset the coach and in
lure considerably two of the four passengers with
in. and break the coach. The driver, from New
York State, had three ribs and his collar bone
broken, and cannot long survive; ia tact, report
reached here last night that he had expired, but L
cannot say; ne cannot long live. The team was
caught in the bush of the woods and driven three
miles to the change, when new driver and team
soon started us for Versailles, 20 miles. But,
alas only 10 miles OF the road had been Travelled
when the driver-no one knows hoW-tell or was
thrown from the box, injuring himself slightly,
when the horses took fright and, within hundred
rods ran the coach against tree turned H. UPSIDE

and shivering the latter to pieces, almost 9l!lng
| Mr.. and Mrs. Webb OF Warsaw, and inJurlng a
stranger so badly that he remained at the house
near where the accident happened, sending eight
miles Ito Versailles for physician, arrived
here last night alone with the mailbags and driver,
and happened TO stop-not Mt the stage-house,
but with Mr. Newman, recently from st. Louis,
now host of the City Hotel, when | learned that
two were dead with Cholera and two others of the
same family very dangerously i'll at the stage

Kentucky on their way to Clay Co. to settle
Their name is Howard. The male parent keeps
intoxicated in order to drown his trouble, Ia hard
