A RoUGH RIDE.-Whcn the wind-storm
came up in Huntcrdon, N. j., last Friday
afternoon, George Kuhl, of Copper Hill,
WAS Just tying the cap-sheaf of a stack OF
wheat The wind struck the stack, and
Mr.. Kuhl found himself sliding off with
the top, and landed in the wagon which
was standing alongside. A ladder standing
against the stack was blown over, striking
the mules across the back, which frightened
them, and away they went over the fields on
a wild run for the barn. On their way they
took short cut through the peach orchard,
running against more than thirty peach
trees of four years growth, every ono OF
which was either broken off or torn out.
Mr.. Kuhl remained in the wagon all the
time, and says he never had such jolting
up as he then experienced.

TIE PENNSYLVANIA Coal TEADE.-Thc
Philadelphia Ledger thus speaks Of the
anthracite coal trade:
",rhc anthracite coal trade, with each
successive week, largely increases. The ton
nagc by the Reading railroad for the week
ending OH Thursday the 22d instant reached
the enormous total Of 13l 1896 tons, swell
ing the tonnage by that road for the year
| to 1850, $50 tons, against | COZ tons to
the same date in 1S6S-an increase OF
l3i ,OS2 tons. The Schuylllill Navigation
Company also increased its tonnage, having
| brought down for the week 33,052 tons,
| and for the season 1888 tons, against
| l79, $50 tons to corresponding time last sea-
son--a decrease of l65, l6S tons. Deduct
ing the roads increase from the canals
| loss, it will be seen that the pro-
duction of the Schuylkill region is
now but 81 ,0S6 tons behind what 1t
was to the same time last year. The
tonnage reported by all the great carrying
companies for the week ending on the 22d
tons i'll corresponding week last year, when
the miners were on strike: and for the
year, 6,463, $50 tons, against 1854, 253 tons
to the same time last year-a decrease OF
10000 tons. The suspension last year
lasted until the ed of August before the
trade was fully under way again. In the
ensuing four weeks, if nothing occurs III
the trade, the increase in the supply will
equal at least 100000 tons over the supply
of last year for the same period. After
August 24th to the 30th of November last
year, when all the regions were in full
blast, the quantity sent for the fourteen
weeks was an average of 100000 tons o
week, giving II supply of $500, goo tons in
round numbers. All the colleries are now
at work in the different coal regions except

SUICIDE OF New YORK MERCHANT.-Mr.
Aaron Lang, merchant doing business at
No. $50 Broadway, and living at No. BOB
cast Fifty-ffth street, committed suicide at
his late residence early yesterday morning
by hanging himself to the balustcrs of a
fight of stairs, by means Of cord which
he had secured around his neck. Accord
ing to the most reliable accounts attainable,
deceased ut intervals for some months past
has exhibited slight indications of tempo
rary alteration Of mind, and the fact that
he has met with slight revcrscs of fortune,
tended to increase his malady and make him
respondent. Not long since Mr.. Lang pur-
chased house and lot for ST., 200, which
he subsequently sold for 81 600 less than
what he paid. This loss seemed to weigh
heavily on his mind, and created desire
to end his earthly career, which he did IN
the manner described, without signifying
his intentions to his relatives or friends
After the body was cut down and life found
to be extinct, notice of his death was sent &c
the coroncrs office. Coroner Flynn has
charge Of the case. Deceased was about
thirty-fvc years Of age, and 4 native OF
Germany. He has left widow and several
children. Mr.. Lang was in comfortable
circumstances, and the loss Of 81 900 was
not calculated to impair his mercantile credit
or otherwise iniuriously affect him.-Aeu

VIRGINIA AFFAIRS--RADICALs LETTING
nGwX-lNCoaE TAN OF GOVERNMENT ORR.
,Ls.-WdSbington, July 26.-Goycrnol
Wells, of Virginia, requests denial of the
statement that he is eXerting himself to pro-
cure the rejection of the fifteenth amend
mcnt in that State.
\ movement is developing itself in Vir-
ainia. having for it's object reconciliation
between the two leading factions of the Re-
publican party in that State, many of the
radicals who supported Wells having es-
PRESSED themselves satisfied with the scnti.
mcnts contained in the speeches of Govern
or-clcct Walker.
The attention of the Government has been
called to m evident blundcr in the system
NJ collecting income taxes from Government
employees, both in the civil and military
service. by which the latter have undoubt-
cdlv paid into the treasury at least twenty
million dollars since the passage of the in
come tax act more than they arc legally re-
auircd to do by the revenue laws. It is ex-
ylaincd that the blunder is occasioned by
,lcducting the income tax from army and
navy officers and civil employees ut the time
Of the payment Of their monthly salaries,
without giving them the opportunities which
other income tax payers have Of making
deductions for house rent, losses in bust
ness. &c. 1t is further claimed that the
system is wrong, because, as has frequently
hanpcncd this year, Government employees
discharged before completing a years work
and before receiving the 81 900 exempted
by law, arc unable to obtain employment
for the remainder of the year; they have
nevertheless paid the pro rata monthly tax,
when in fact they are not, under the law,
required to pay any tax whatever. 1t is
also claimed that monthly collections Of
taxes are not authorized by the law, which
provides for regular assessments by duly
appointed asscssors.-Speciot dispatch to

A SMALL BATTLE IN SOUTH CAROLINA
bloody row occurred at the election pre-
cinct of Sleepy Hollow, Barnwell county,
s. c., on Thursday last. which resulted in
the killing of two men, the fatal wounding
of another, aud the stabbing of four others.
The Augusta (Ga.) Constitutionalist gives
the following version:
The difficulty grew out of the election
of township officers. When it was found
that the Radical nominees were elected,
Elmore Tyler, an enthusiastic Conservative,
exclaimed 'Boys, we're beat. don't
blame you colored people; I blame you
white scalawags."
A. Woodward, brother of one of the
officers elect, demanded o retraction of
Tyler, when Pickens Woodward drew pis-
tol, which was wrested from him by John
H. Holland. A. P. Woodward now drew
his pistol, mortally wounding Holland, and
the fight then became general. William ].
Woodward, father of Pickens and 4. P.
whipped out a large knife and began an in
discriminate assault upon those who were
identified with the Conservative party.
Attacking Wyatt Tyler, he inflicted severe
stab on the neck of that gentleman. James
Tyler and his brother Joseph also received
wounds from the knife in the hands OF
Woodward-the former in the side and the
latter in the breast. With his thirst fol
blood not yet satiated, Woodward set upon
Frank M. Green, and inflicted q severe
wound in the side.
At this juncture the father of Green
John S. Green, ST., observing the danger tc
which his son was exposed, closed in with
Woodward, whom he succeeded in telling tc
the ground. While Green was pinnina
Woodward to the earth, A. P. Woodward
discharged two shots from his pistol, which
took effect in the left side of Green, causing
immediate death. Young Woodward also
fired upon Frank M. Green, wounding him
in the left hand. From the effect of this
wound Green fell, when his antagonist fired
at him again, but missed his aim. Two
pistol shots, fired by parties unknown, took
effect in the hack of A. P. Woodward, pro,
ducing wounds which, it is thought, must
prove fatal. All the parties implicated il
this affair were white, the colored people
present taking no part in the fight on eithe,
side.

At the depot number of gentlemen met
Mr.. Greeley, and spent the time interven'

clearness and emphasis those just ant
liberal sentiments with regard to the po
litical status in Virginia, which have found
free expression in his paper since the time
of the election. Mr.. Greeley also assured
his friends that no fear of the result need
be entertained that Congress would accept
the reconstruction of Virginia. approve hel
constitution, and admit her representative
elected. He intimated also his belief thai
the test-oath would not be exacted of the
members of the Legislature.
Mr. Greeley stated that few days since

to the policy and justice of liberal spirit
in southern reconstruction. General Cox
made most handsome response to Mr.

of his views with those of Mr.. Greeley
and breathing hope that Virginian recon
struction would be consummated in goot
faith and in the spirit of a just and gene
rous recognition Of the compromises made
