read the following account Of a fatal
accident to his son WILLIAM 1t is
copied from the Quincy WAiy, Of the
l6lh inst:
Seldom has our city been more startled
than on last Saturday evening, when the
news was first received of the dreadful
accident which occurred about S o'clock
at the crossing of the railroad track on
the upper Warsaw road northern exten-
sion OF Twenty fourth street. As near
as we can learn, Albert Payne, son of
Thomas Payne, Esq, William Jones. son
of Col. X X. Jones, both of Ef1ingham
and Charles Letton, son of Mr.. Z. E.
LeIton, of this city, were driving out in a
buggy to the residence of Mr. Payne
Discovering no train in sight, they drove
rapidly down the hill to The track, but had
hardly reached the cross before the G
3. d 9. freight train came dashing down
the grade and around the curve. The
horse became frightened and wholly un-
manageable. Wheeling short about, the
hinder part Of the buggy was caught by
the locomotive and the three young men
preci ptated against the train. Albert
Payne and William Jones. aged eighteen
aud fourteen years respectively, we're
thrown against the train, and Willie
Jones killed instantly. Young PAYNE
only breathed few minutes after being
picked up by the persons who reached
the spot Immediately, several of whom
were Witnesses to tie melancholy occur
renee. Charles Letton, who was on the
outside. was dangerously injured receiv-
Jog severe brusies on his side, back and
head.

interest Law I'm virginia.

The bill legalizing contracts for 8
percent. interest passed the Virginia
Senate sometime since, and was subse-
auenuy rejected by the House. On
Thursday last, however, the House re-
considered the vote; and there is now,
no the Richmond papers say, a proba-
bllity that the bill will become a law.
1t is evident that nothing will be done
byour own Legislature at the present
session on this subject. A petition from
Brooke county was some time since
presented in the House to make per
cent the legal interest where no con-
tract was made, but to legalize contracts
for higher rates, and referred to the FL
nance COMMITTEES, which reported favor
ably and requested the reference of the
subject to the judiciary Committee.
The reference was made, and the Ju-
dietary Committee reported adversely
and there the matter rests. We think
tits much to be regretted that some
such law as proposed was not enacted.
Tho financial interests OF people and
state would have been fostered by 1t.

Our readers will have noticed state
ment which appeared a day or two
since in our Geographic columns that
senator Wiley was one of the speakers
at the mass meeting held at Growers
Theatre, in Washington, ON the 22d.
We are authorized to state that such
was not the fact. Neither Senator Will
lev nor Senator Van Wrinkle was pres
ent at the meeting.
The statement of the associated press
probably referred TO a Mr.. Wiley, a
lawyer of some prominence residing in
in Washington.

nm, BOUNTY Perturbation.

We have frequent inquiries about
what additional bounty has been al
lowed by recent legislation at Wash
iugton City. All sorts of.rumors are
nGoat among the discharged and nom
discharged soldiers; that 100 acres OF
land have been giyen; that the soldiers
who got no bounty, or 500! bounty,
arc to be paid enough TO mako their
bounty equal TO those who got 500; that
veteran soldiers are TO have 500 and
I,on-ycterans $500 extra bounty more
than the 500 and $500 already given
them. The fact is, no additional boun-
ty has yet been given by Congress to
any soldier or discharged soldier.
There is a bill before the Committee OF
Military Affairs in Congress to give all
soldiers who have received less than
$500 enough additional TO make their
bounty equal to that sum. The Com
mittee has not yet reported either for
or against the bill. They sent an in
curry TO the, ,Paymaster General as to
how much money It wonld require TO
meet the payments II the bill passed.

measure will be defeated. With ma
