RUNNYMEDE.

But now we come to an event which
has affected ourselves, and with which
every man, woman and child in Eng
land and the United States is connect
ed. John succeeded Richard as King
of England. He was a despot and
undertook to deprive the barons of
their liberty. Things went on from
bad to worse till the barons could
stand it no longer, and rose in rebel
lion. The king became frightened
aud told the barons that he would
meet them at any place they might
name and he would grant them what
ever they desired. They told him
that they would meet him at the run
ming mede, a green meadow here on
the banks of the Thames. We can
almost see the place from this terrace
where we are sitting. Nowadays it
is called Runnymede, and it is one of
the great staudpoints of constitutional
history. The baronS came with their
retainers-a great company of horse
"'en-enough Of them to have made
mince meat of the king had he dared
to oppose them. They had their de-
mands all written out. 1t was on the
| 5th of June, 1914, that the king with
a few fOllOwerS-not more than dOz-
en-went down from the castle to
meet the barons in yonder meadow
and signed the document which they
had prepared, and which you may see
in the British Museum in London
the Magma Charter, as it is called, the
great charter of liberty, under which
England and the United States also
have become the first nations on the
earth. Then the king rode back to
the castle and acted like a madmaD,
cursing, swearing terrible oatbs, CIV
ing way to his ungovernable temper,
Selling sticks and breaking them,
smashing the chairs and tables with
club, picking up the broken bits ana
gnawing them as a dog does a stick,
walking his chamber all night, plan
ming how to revenge himself on the
barons.

of the likeliest men in Irasburgh-has
sold his house and contemplates leav-

THE CAPTURED CoNvICTs.-Wc day
or two since noticed the arrest or re-
capture of Abner Marks aud James l..
Graham, two eonvicts who escaped from
the Jail in this city over a year ago.
Since being returned to this city they
have been sent to Moundsville, to as
sist in the erection of the new peniten-
tiary.
The account of their travels and
tines since their escape from our Jail,
is very interesting. They went from
Wheeling direct to Chicago, where
Graham's wife resided; they staid there
several months, went to Pittsburg,
Cleveland, down to Cincinnati, and
then up to Parkersburg. At several Of
these points by burglary and theft they
managed to "raise the wind" When
they Preached Petersburg, about six
weeks ago, Marks determined to 60 to
Grafton and see his wife. Graham &C
companied him, and they staid there
for week or two, keeping themselves
closely housed during tho day, and dis
guising themselves at night. They
lowered around on the line of the North
western road, until about two weeks
ago, when they went to Grafton and
robbed o store. They were pursued,
and arrested at Ellenboro station, be-
tween Parkersburg and Grafton. When
arrested they were disguised, and upon
close examination the officer discovered
Marks to be an old acquaintance and
an escaped convict. The State authori-
ties were telegraphed of the affair a
description of the men revealed the fact
that they were none other than Marks
and Graham. They will now be afford
ed an opportunity of carrying on Wig
orous summers campaign in the way
of assisting the State to complete the
new penitentiary.

REDUCTION OF TAxEs.-The estimated
reduction of revenue under the act of
Congress is twenty-nine millions, but
this does not include the half cent a
pound stricken from the tax on cotton,
which on crop of three millions OF
bales would be six to seven millions OF
dollars-the dsduction;beinga about 81 rs
per bale. The taxes repealed on the
manufacture of men, women and child
ren's clothing are estimated at four mil
lions per annum. This ought to have
the effect Of eheapening clothing, and
will, unless the tailors put the tax into
their own pockets and continue to
charge their customers the same prices
after as before the removal of the tax

very lengthy document, covering over
two sheets Of foolscap paper, and the
total value of the articles bequeathed
to surviving friends willnot exceed fifty
dollars. The Justice Of the Peace was
occupied for near four hours in drawing
up the "last will and testament" and
when he had completed the task, the
dying man thanked him kindly, and as
sured him he would have paid him for
his trouble and labor, had not all that
he owned been given away by the arti-
Gle just drawn up.

THE winter wheat has not looked so
fine for many years in this locality
fruit prospects never better, so far, but
all observing horticulturists we'll know
that it is yet too early to prognosticate
in regard to the coming fruit crop.
Buds look we'll at present, but if the
warm weather had continued our grape
and peach crop would have been a fail
ure. The best fruit seasons, for the
more tender sorts, are when we have
late cold springs, thereby protecting
buds from late frOsts.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON THE VI. CENTRAL
LIST OF CASUALTIES.

LlsI vi OAcUALIlEs.
We have to chronicle this morning one
ofthe most fearful railroad accidents that
has ever transPred in Vermont, by which
eighteen men have been hurried into
eternity. and some twenty live severely
injured. The disaster occurred at the
Harlow Bridge" 80 called, which is on
the line of the Vermont Central Rail
road, about mile and a half south of
Mortified. 1t spannod q chasm through
which Dog River runs, some 500 feet in
width, and its abutments were about 80
feet in height, the middle pier being
about rs feet. This bridge was burned
on Sunday morning last, and since that
time a heavy force Of mechanics aud
laborers have been employed in erecting a
trestle work for temporary use during the
rebuilding Of tho bridge. About one
hundred of these men diped at the North
field House at 1890 p m yesterday, and
Immediately alter proceeded by train
consisting Of an engine and ono passenger
car to the bridge, o mile and a half die
tant, up heavy grade, the car behind
moving backwards.
By some uncomfortable forgetfulnes or
unaccountable hallucination the engineer,
Frank Abbott, proceeded at an unusual
rate Of speed, some setting it as high as
thirty miles an hour. He was reminded
Of his strange mistake BY his fireman, but
not until too late to avert the terrible
consequences, for the car with its freight
Of some ninety men was precipitated from
the abutment Of the bridge into the ra.
vine below, distance Of sixty feet The
tcndeg broke from the car and instantly
followed. The scene after the disaster can
better be imagined than described. Fif-
teen dead men. with more than as many
others suffering from wounds more or less
severe, lay in one heap, seven of whom
we're under the tender, and Of those who
escaped some were saved by leaping from
the car windows after they, had perceived
their danger. The number of casualties
isappalling and embraces. fifteen killed
aud twenty five injured, three Of whom
have sinee died. The casualties consist
of broken arms. legs and hands, disloea-
lions. cuts, burns and bruises. Many Of
both killed and wounded we're Canadian.
