Fatal Accident.

On the morning of the 18th inst, the
body of young man named Joseph Tilton,
was found in or near the place known as the
"deep cut" on the Holmdel and Keyport
Turnpike. 1t seems that Mr.. T. had been
seen to leave Keyport the evening previous,
with two horse team, and it is supposed
that owing to the darkness, and the storm
which was raging at the time, he lost his
way and was precipitated down the embank-
ment, breaking his neck. His horses and
wagon were found near him.

The Jersey City Times come to us with an
able leader arraigning General Runyon with
haranguing mob of traitors in 1868 at New
ark, then leading the mob, which proceeded
to garrote Union citizens because they loved
to sec the Union arms victorious. This same
mob battered in with bouders and the like
the office of the Newark Mercury because it
did not fall in with the copperhead rejoicing
when Lee invaded Pennsylvania on his way
to his Waterloo at Gettysburg. And this

lost her worthy husband. In the midst of
her grief she was anxious that his remains
should be duly honored according to tho

The Maine Election,

The State election in Maine took place or
Monday, and appears to have been unusually
quiet, the vote being some 10000 less thar
last year. Returns from ninety-nine towns
give Republican majority of o,656, against
5000 in the last election. The maj ority ir
this State last year, exclusive of the soldiers
was 1924. If the same relative gain con-
tinue throughout the State, the Republican
majority will nearly reach 10000. The Re-
publicans have made a gain in representa-
tives, of which, however, they had all but
about thirty last year, with the entire
Senate.

this city on Thursday last from Easton. 1t
numbered one hundred and twenty-seven
loaded coal cars Of five tons each. These
were taken to Newark by engine No. 80 OF

not the President, but the country that was
struck down. The heads OF the people were
bowed. only TO rise higher, however. after
the storm. What was the cause 0f this deep
sorrow incidental Of the death OF President
Lincoln !? 1t was because the people loved
him. The death OF q monarch Is looked upon
a. a signal of discord, but we. showed that
the loss OF President could not shake our
Government. The mourning for his loss was
not,becsuse the country had lost President,
but because. the world had lost Man. He
was an American character-a self made man.
He buaeted The blllows with This own strong
arm where other men sank Ia despair. The
American people saw In him an American

mother In themenory Of her child. 1t was
the speakers privilege to have known Abra-
ham Lincoln personally, the President having
invited him 70 the White House and there
treated him like man and brother. The
speaker had found him the plain Western man
for which he was k1own 10 all. He was con-
seious of. the sstfespopsibilities resting upon
him. he was like his pictures-never to be
taken for any one else From the first five
minutes the speaker knew him TO be the most
solid man he had ever seen. He, was the only
white man who could talk to colored man
without assuming an air of condescension.-
Iadeed, while talking withthe President, the
speaker had forgotten altogether that he bim-l
self was black man. Mrs. Lincoln, before
leaving the White House, had presented Mr..
Douglass with Mr.. Lincoln's cane as q me- Z
Imento of the friendship which the deceased
President had entertaine for him. Mr.. Lin
coin desired to knowthe black man thorough
ly, and the speaker had done his best to en-
tighten him upon the subject-to convince.
him thatl negro could work quite as well lasa
for himself as Tor his master. Mr.. Lincoln
was an anti Slavery man at heart, and his an /
