A SAD CAsUALTY-THREE GIRLS DRowNED.-We
copy the following from the st. Louis lntelgencer:
"a deplorable accident occurred two weeks ago
near Fort Smith, in Arkansas, on the Cherokee side
of the Arkansas river. Five young girls had gone
into the river to battle and amuse themselves. The
river is very shallow and be forded almost any
where, but in places there hoIes,' where the wa
ter is very deep. The girls were bathing and play
ing along the edge of large sand bar, where the
ter was no more than knee deep, when one of them
suddenly got into of these deep places two 9TH
ers went to her assistance and all three drowned
while frightened by their cries and struggles, the two
remaining girls fast they could to the shore
The very seclusion and privacy of the spot tina,
tempted the girls into the water rendered it mPossi
BILE 10 get assistance in time to them. Two OF
the drowned girls sisters, daughters Of Mr.
Jackson King the other Miss Collins; their ages
from thirteen to fifteen years. The bodies of the two
were recovered the evening of the accident, the oth
er not Till several days afterwards.

Chief Justice Lecompte held his Court
here last week. The case of Col M'Crea
for the murder of Malcolm Clarke was be-

they stood eleven for finding no bill, five
for finding bill for mansaughter, and
three for finding q Bill CT murder; and that,
failing to agree, they asked to be dischar-

them, and adjourned till the 2nd Monday

to take the oath, stating that he had not

Kansas Election.

The Kansas correspondent of the Mis-.
souri, Democrat says:
The returns from % precincts give
Reeder 1885 votes. There are still 29
precincts to hear from, and it is thought
his vote will exceed 5000. The election
passed off peaceably. No persons were
permitted to vote unless they had been
actual residents of the city or in town 80
days past. The Freesoilers are getting
up documents wherewith to contest Whit
fields seat in Congress, purporting to es-
tablish the following facts, viz:
That it can be proven, that there was
only legal slavery voters in. Franklin,
and Whitetield received 81 votes. That
out of the 5000 votes cast for Whitefeld
in Wyandott, only 80 were legal. That
out of -230 cast at Osawatauia not over
so were legal. That at Baptist Mission
which gave Whitefeld over 100 votes,
there were but II legal voters and only Is
of them cast a ballot. In fine, that not
one thousand legal votes were cast for
Whitefeld in the whole Territory.
The delegates to Constitutional Con-
vention have been chosen. They will
form a Constitution for Kansas and apply
