A FRIGHTFUL ACUIDENT.
FaA Of a Church One Man Fa-
tally injured and AnOthxF
ss Ounded.

From the Burlington iowa Hawk Eye, l8th.l
A frightful accident occurred at the
new German Methodist Church, on the
corner of Seventh and Washington
streets, about two O'Clock on Saturday
afternoon. Workmen were engaged in
eleysting the spire, which is some forty
feet long and weighs about 5000 pounds.
The spire, or steeple, had been built in
side OF the tower, and was being raised
TO its place with blocks and tackle.
When it was up to within three feet of
its position, nook on an iron block
broke and the whole concern came down
with crushing weight, going through
two or three tiers Of jOisls to the
ground. Mr.. John l.. Hill, of the
firm of Hill q Ditmer, carpenters, was
inside the tower and near the base Of the
splre when the accident occurred. He
was terribly bruised, but caught or lodged
on a broken jOist some thirty or forty
feet from the ground. He hung there for
1--we or more minutes, but before assist
ance could get to him be fell, striking
among the rubbish below. He was
shocki0Gly cut and bruised about the
head and chest, and it was thought also
that the base or back part OF his skull
was cracked.
A. P. Armstrong, another workman,
was standing in the corner Of the tower,
on the ground, holding rope, when the
accident occurred. How he escaped with
his life, seemed almost miracle. He
was stunned and bruised somewhat, but
unless some internal injury should de.
velop itself, be will probably soon re-
cover.
Mr.. Hill was living, had recovered his
consciousness, and was able to speak at
seven o'clock. His physicians, however,
had little or no hope Of his recovery. He
Is an industrious, worthy man, living on
South Seventh street, having a wife and
two children.
The iron hook that broke had flaw in
II at the place where it came in two, ex-
tending fully half way through it. This
accident should be warning to builders
and others who handle heavy timbers
and weights, and are apt to be thought
less and iDsensible to danger. A little
care would save many valuable limbs
and lives.

From ~. Louis.

ST. LOUIS, August 2O.-A dispatch
from Hays City, Kansas. dated yester-
day, says, the body of Bill Comstock,
the famous scout, has Just been brought
in. He was murdered yesterday by
some indians near here. His compaA-
ions, who were rescued, were badly
wounded.
Eighty Cheyennes yesterday drove off
a number of mules from within mile
of Fort Hays.
The Indians are now retreating to-
wards the Arkansas, with the military
and volunteers in hot pursuit.
Several children who had been stolen
by the Indians were abandoned by them
and were found in the woods. Six wo-
men have been carried away captives.
With the extensive preparations now
organized against the Indians, it is
thought there will be no more trouble
in Kansas. The hostile tribes are the
Cheyennes and Arr ahahoes.
Hon. Benjamin +. Wade and his son,
James F. Wade, arrived here yesterday
and left last evening for the plains, via
the Kansas Pacific Railway. General
Harvey also left yesterday for Oman a
and the Indian country, on business
connected with the Indian Peace Com
mission,

Washington Items.

WASHINGTON, August 20.-The Presi-
dent officially announces that the Leg
islature of Georgia has ratified the l4th
article of the amendment to the Consti-
tuition of the United States.
Information has been received at the
Postoffice Department Yarranting be-
lief that the British Postoflice Depart
ment will assent to the proposed modifi-
cations of the new postal currency be-
tween the two countries, by which,
among other things, postage on small
pamphlets may be reduced Negotia-
tions are now pending between the
United States and France for more
liberal exchange of mail.
DISPATCHES have been received at the
War Department from Lieutenant Gen
eral Sherman, dated at Fort Leaven-
worth, indicating that the troubles on
the Saline and Solomon rivers are OH ac-
count of acts of violence against the
settlers by the Cheyennes.
The cause of the trouble is supposed
to have grown out of the recent fight
between the Cheyennes and Pawnees in
which the former got the worst Of it,
and they are supposed to have attacked
all the settlers for revenge. General
Sheridan had sent plenty of troops and
gone in person to the place of hostili-
ties.
Secretary Browning has received an
affidavit from the President of the
Union Pacific Railroad, announcing an
additional section of twenty miles, ex-
tending to the 760th mile-post west
from Omaha, has been completed. The
Government Commissioners have been
instructed, by telegraph, to make an
examination of the section.

From Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA, August 20.-The
bronze guns appropriated by Congress
to the Sixth Army Corps, for the monu-
ment ut West Point, have been cast, at
the bronze works in this city, into full
length figure of Major General Sedg-
wick.
1t has just been discovered that
Charles Cabot, President of the Allen
town rolling-mills, has absconded, leav-
ing an indebtedness unpaid of from
S500,000 to S1,000,000.
The Bulletin says the recent defalca-
ton, though heavy one, is divided
among parties none of which can suffer
more than temporary inconvenience
from their losses. The capital of Allen.
ton Rolling Mill Company is $500, 900
besides which there had been accumu-
lated considerable surplus which will
prevent any very serious impression
being made on the capital of the Com
pany. 1t is satisfactory to the friends
of Mr.. Cabot to know that, bad as tie
case is, he does not appear to have used
his official position as President of the
Rolling Mill Company for the purpose
of raising money, his speculative opera
tions being carried on by funds in the
hands of Cabot & Co, as brokers. On
the day Of his disappearance he nego-
tiated some securities of the Company
but deposited the proceeds, amounting
to $4,000, in bank to the credit of the
Company.

Resolutions Adopted by the
Democratic State COnVen-
ton Of West Virginia.

]. Resolved That we approve the platform OF
the National Democratic Convention, lately as.
sembled in New York, as the true exponent OF
our political principles and pledge our hearty
and united support TO the Nominees OF that
Convention for the offices of President and Vice
President of the United States.
9. Rrsolred That we demand Of the Leg ala.
ture of this State reduction Of the useless
swarm of officers with which we are infested,
and such other measures of economy. retrensh.
ment and reform as will reduce the burthen OF
State and local taxation, which is txhaustihg
the substance of our people.
g. ResolUed That We demand the reform OF
the present system of registration "a unjust,
oppressive upon the people, and at variance
with the fundamental principles Of free govern
ment.
4. Resolved That we denounce the Radical
party of this State, because, with view oil
perpenating their own power, they have re-
fused to permit the people to elect their own
Registers. and have vested the power of appoint
ment and removal in the Governor, so that the
INSCRIPTIONS purposes Ct the party may be bet
ter accomplished; and because. with the same
view, they have by recent legislation relieved
their Registers. thus unfairly and improperly
elected. from either civil or criminal responsi.
bility, for even willfIl and corrupt violation OF
duty.
s. Resolved. That while we are willing to &C.
cord to the negro the full measure Of legal
rights. with ample protection Of person and
property. we are unalterably opposed TO negro
suffrage negro equality, and Radical legislation
looking to that end.
6. ResOired, That we denounce the Radical
party for having, through its representatives, In
Congress, by the passage Of certain military re-
constr uction bills, declared null and void the
Government Of Virginia, which formed the
State Of West Virginia. thereby denying the
legal existence Of our new State

LONDON, August 2O.-There were nine
races at York yesterday. The last three
resulted as follows: The Black Dsok
stakes of one thousand sovereigns each,
three hundred for the first three-quar-
ters of q mile, closed with five sub
scribers, was won by Crocus by walk
over. The next race was the Chester
field handicup for plate of one hun
dred sovereigns, distance one mile, SIX
horses, was won by Meslac b. The bet
ting, previous to the race, was two to
one against him. The last race was for
roadgate Park stakes, five sovereigns
each, with fifty added, the winner to
be put up at auction immediately after
the race. Seven horses started. The
race was won by La Mousse. The bet,
ting previous to the race was four to one
against him. Weather rainy.
Rio JANEIRo, July 81, VIA LONDON,
August 2O.-The attack on the. Para
guayan fortress, of Humaita, took place
on the morning of the 10th day of July
The combined Brazilian and Argentine
forces under the command of Marquis
D'Caxias, advanced to the assault in
three columns, amounting in the aggre'
gate to 10000 men. At the same time
q heavy fire was opened upon their forti
fications from the fleet of iron. clads and
land batteries. After desperate and
prolonged fighting at the foot of the in
trenchments, the allied columns retired
without effectiDg Judgement
within the enemys works. The
loss of the allies is reported al
5000 killed and wounded. Nothing
is known of the losses of the Paraguay
ans, but as they fought most OF the
time under cover of irtrenchmcnts, tits
supposed that the number OF their
killed and wounded will fall far behind
that of the allies. The allied forces in
Gran Chaco also advanced with the OBJ
ject of cutting off communication of
Lopez in the forest. They found them
defended by large body of Paraguay
ans, protected by breastworks. After
an obstinate engagement the allies
withdrew to their former position.
The casualties in this battle are not
stated. The hopes of our party in Bra
zil are rested upon the success of this
enterprise and its failure will give great
impetus TO the peace movement.

Tidal Phenomena.

SAN Francisco, August 10.-On the
18th of August tidal phenomena oc
Cured at San Pedro, Southern Califor-
MIA. A series of waves commenced flow
ing upon the coast, causing the tide to
raise three or four feet above ordinary
high water, followed by the falling OF
the tide the same distance below the
water mark. The rise and fall occurred
regularly every half hour for several
hours, creating considerable alarm
among the inhabitants thereabouts
The incident is attributed to some ma.
rine disturbance causing the bottom OF
the sea to rise and fall, thus impelling
the waves toward the shore.
