How To HAVE DISABILITIES REMOVED
The owner of the original of the paper
published below (picked up in the street
yesterday can have it on application at
this office. We print it to show our citi-
zens the form of an application for relief
from political disabilities, and how to fill it
up. This application seems to have been
passed upon by all the Republican authori-
ties in Virginia, and now to be ready for
the Reconstruction Committee
Brown COUNTY, VIRGINIA.,

To the Honorable the Senate and House Of
Representatives Of the United States:

fully prays your honorable bodies to relieve

A DREADFUL FATAL ACCIDENT,
An Old Woman and an Infant
Crushed to Death by
Wagon Wheels

The Pittsburg Post of Octo.
Der 10Th, says, a sad accident
occurred on Pennsylvania av.
enue, nearly opposite Magee
street, which resulted in the
instant death of an old lady
and her infant grand, daughter.
The name Of the lady was An.
ME Moore, aged about fifty
years. She resided with her
daughter, Mrs. Johnston, at
No. S4 Mulberry alley. The
little girl was the daughter of
Mrs. Johnston, and was aged
about one year. In tie morn.
ing Mrs. NJ. took the infant in
her arms and started out to
visit a relative named Bowers,
whose residence is on Chest
nut street. The old lady was
crossing Pennsylvania avenue,
at APPOINT near Magee street,
about ten o'clock, when a wag.

cry, OIL Troy Hill, loaded with
beer barrels, and driven by
Gerhardt Johnson, came down
the avenue at a rapid pace, the
horses knocking down Mrs.
Moore, with the infant in her
arms, the wagon passing over
both, killing them instantly
The bodies were taken up, and
conveyed, by the direction of
DIR. I. A. Rex, into Mr.. No.
lands drug store, corner Of
Elm street and Pennsylvania
avenue. 1t was found that the
wheels of the wagon had pass
ed over the heads Of both the
victims. The face of Mrs.
Moore was badly lacerated,
beafing a number of wounds,
which their appearance indi-
Gated had been caused by the
hoofs of the horses. The main
injury, however, which the
physician said had caused her
death, was the crushing of the
frontal bone. The only marks
upon the child were a few
bruises an the left lemrle and

THE DRAw-BRIDGE KEEPER.

History and poetry celebrate no
sublimer act OF devotion than that of
Albert G. Drecker. the watchman of
the Passaio River draw-bridge. or
the New York and Newark Railroad.
The train was due, and he was closing
the draw when his little child fell In
to the deep water. 1t would have
been easy enough to rescue him II the
father could take time, but already
the laundering train was at hand. 1t
was cruel agony. His child could be
saved only at the cost Of other lives
committed to his care. The brave
man did his duty, but his child was
drowned. The pass at Thermopyle
was not m0re heroically kept. Sir
Phillip Sidney giving the cup ofcold
water TO the dying soldier is not
nobler figure than that Of Albert G.
Drecker keeping the Passaic Bridge.
The incident has become subject for
poetry, aud is commemoEsted. by the
following lines:

Cool InDudence.

The editor of the Ohio Eagle
recently got off a pretty good
thing upon one of the busi.
ness men of Waverly that will
bear telling, and for coolness
and raciness goes a little ahead
of anything we have met in q
long time. 1t seems that q
certain firm, formerly doing
business in Waverly, had ad-
vertised In the Eagle to the
amount of SIS, and when the
firm dissolved, this account
was in some way overlooked
and renamed unsettled. The
editor waited and waited un.
til he concluded that "forbear.
ance had ceaseded to be a viz
tue" and then sat down and
wrote to a member of the firm
in about the following strain,
also enclosing his bill. We do
not pretend to give the exact
language OF the letter, but the
following is the tenor:
