FATAL AND DISTRESSING ACCIDENT
William Cooper, of Harrisburg, while out
cunning with his father on Friday last,
was accidentally shot by the latter, in dis
charging his piece at pheasant, from the
effects of which he died during the night
From the testimony elected at the inquest
held by Coroner McCord, it appears they
were hunting pheasants, and while in Blk
ler's Gap, mile below town, the father
saw one at which he fired, the son being
somewhat in advance, though not in di-
rect line. With the exclamation of " Fa-
ther, what have you done ?" or something
to that effect, the young man fell, single
shot having struck him In the corner of
the left eye, fractured bone, and thus
produced an injury to the brain which re-
suited in death. Immediately after the oe-
currence, Mr.. Cooper proceeded up the road
for aid, and with the assistance of VIM.
Mckee and Mr.. Gibboney conveyed the
the sufferer in hand car to the Railroad
Hotel. The deceased was about % wears

KANSAS AFFAIRS.

We gave last week some accounts of new
frauds perpetrated in Kansas by the slavery
party, frauds so obnoxious that even Coy.
Walker and Secretary Stanton, whose sla-
very proclivities had never been doubted
before, could not swallow them, but took
the liberty of setting two of them aside.
In the Oxford precinct, where the census
called for between one and two hundred
votes, 1,601 names, all written IN the same
handwriting, and which measured exactly
81 feet in length, were returned All the
names, except 100, were copied from "Wil-
liams' Cincinnati Directory" those COM
mono;no with the same letter following
each other as regularly as they do upon the
naoes of that book Dates from Lecomp-
ton TO October 22d, state that Governor
Walker has issued another proclamation in
relation to 1900 votes returned from Me-
Ghee county, which are thrown out for the
same reasons that governed his action in
relation to the Oxford district in johnson
county The proclamation states that in
neither case has he gone behind the returns,
and he disclaims all right to do so, but the
votes were rejected in consequence of fatal
defects in form. McGhee county, it ap-
pears was returned as giving 1902 " Ma
tional Democratic to "A Free State votes.
There is no doubt Of the election of
Parrott, the free state candidate for Con
gress, by large majority.
1t is said the Cabinet at Washington
disapprove of Gov Walkers course in
throwing out these returns, bat it is to be
hoped for their credit this report is not
true. Gov. Walker and Secretary Stanton,
in our opinion, stand in the same position
in Kansas as our Return Judges do here,
and we presume if a township in this coun-
ty at the late election had returned 1900
votes for one set of candidates, when the
assessor list called for one or two hundred
only, no one would have thought of giving
certificate of election TO party so SNUG
gled into office, especially if the party thus
fraudulently elected would become Judge
of its legality. In Kansas, the members
elected by this fraudulent vote would con-
troll the political aspect of the legislature,
and by staying off the matter for time
would 90 on passing obnoxious laws and
doing other acts against the will of the ma
jority, and when all they desired was ac-
complished, their seats would be declared
vacant and a new election ordered. If
such open and highhanded frauds once
prevail, or are sanctioned by those in au-
thority, all good men may well blush for
their country
