VERY ROMANTIC-Col. Parker, the
distinguished Indian on Gen. Grants
staff, it seems has captivated one of the
white squaws of Washington, and last
week on Tuesday, the nuptiaI ceremo-
MES were to be performed, when, 10 the
big Indian was missing. He was found
a day or two after, in an obscure part of
the city, either just getting over big
drunk, OF else quite unwell-he claims it
to be the latter. His story is that GER
tain ones OF his tribe are much averse to
his alliance with the white race, and
that on Saturday evening they persuaded
him to take glass of wine, from the eff
feet of which he went to sleep. and did
not awake until Wednesday, just one day
too late to meet the bride expectant at
the appointed time. His friends say
that he was drugged, with the design,
probably, to kill him. Miss Sackett, the
would-be bride of Col. Parker, is said to
be pretty and smart. She may be- and
probably thinks it very romantic to mar
ry the "noble red man but if she car
ries out her purpose she will doubtless
have plenty of time to repent her folly.
! p. S.-Colonel Parker married Miss
>ackett, Monday evening, and they have
gone TO New York on a bridal tour, just
like white folks.

81 Mayor Horton Of Mobile, who
was appointed to his Office by Gen Pope,
having been found guilty Of a violation
of the civil rights bill in banishing ne
gro from the city, was sentenced, Satur-
day, by United States Judge Busted, to
pay fine of $3.50, which lie did, and
was then discharged from custody. The
judge read him a lesson before passing
sentence, saying that he might send him
TO state prison for two years and fine
him $4,000. but he thought the ends OF
justice had been indicated by his con-
viction, and he imposed light fine.

4nOther Railroad Horror.

We give pretty full details elsewhere
of the last railroad butchery near Ango-
la, New York. In all that goes to make
up scene of horror and despair, we
think this accident will take precedence
over any other we ever read or "A car
filled with human beings, hurled down a
precipce of forty or fifty feet, the car
striking upon one end, thus projecting
Messengers seats, stoves and furniture,
with awful violence into one end OF the
car, would seem sufficient to mako the
scene horrible in the extreme; but add
to this the almost instantaneous firing OF
this mangled mass of humanity and de-
bris, and it battles the imagination to de-
pict in sufficient horror.
The first account of this disaster stated
that it could not have been prevented by
any human agency. Later accounts, and
possibly the investigation, may prove
that it could have been. One writer
SAYS that both the cars that went off the
track are known as compromise" cars
that is to say that while their wheels are
so constructed as to run on the narrow
est guaged roads with which they con-
meet, they can also cover a track, and
were run upon roads which are an inch
and a-half wider. Thus the guage Of the
y. Y. Central track is four feet eight
and a-half inches, while the La Ike Shore
road is four feet ten inches. These
''compromise" cars, made so the hange of
the wheel will run inside the Central
track, will also run on the Lake Shore
road; but the tread, or that part that
rests on tn, rail, will not cover it by
| three-fourths of an inch, and also allows
three fourths of an inch lateral motion
to the wheels The cars were thrown off
at turnout just before reaching the
bridge 1t is believed that this three
fourths of an inch lateral motion
allowed the tlange of the wheel of this
''compromise" car to strike the ''frog,"
or the guard rail opposite the frog, thus
throwing this car and the one behind it
from the track.
Whatever was the cause of the acct
dent, it is high time to consider if our
railroads are built or managed with the
one idea paramount that of the safety
of the passengers No one believes it..
The shocking accidents occurring every
day retute any such belief. Until our
roads are more thoroughly and substan-
italy built, and run with greater care,
and until human life is rsckoned of value
by, such corporations, and they are made
responsible for such so-calei ''accdents"
as the Northlield and Angola affairs, and
we fear not until then, will human life
be tolerable safe while on or about rail
road track

There seems 10 be considerable oppo-
sltion 10 the Alaska treaty i'm the House.
Though the matter Is settled according
TO the constitution by the President and
the Senate, Yet it Is contended that the
House OF Representatives has power TO
render the treaty void by refusing an ap-
preparation TO carry out It's provisions.
The House is in honor bound TO vote
money 10 carry out the treaties agreed
upon 10y the treaty-making power. at
least such is the opinion of plain peo-
pie, but the lawyers OF the House think
differently, and there has been some dis
cussion in Congress in reference TO this
matter. 1t Is possible that the other
real estate operations of Mr.. Seward
may have the effect OF creating feeling
that this matter of buying territory must
be stopped, and the House vii! make
the most OF lis power and by opposing
the purchase OF Alaska, preyeat acqui-
sltlon OF any territory by that means.

Lyndon dill think when the trial began
that Mrs. Randall was guilty of the aw-
full crime with which she was charged,
none believe it now. One man remarked
in the hearing of many, the ''Randalls
were never so popular before" Without

and notoriety this trial has given them,
but let them so live that no one Will be.

awful crime Of which some at one time
