TsRRIBLc ACCIDENT OF II ERIE
RAltRoAD.-A correspondent Of the New
York Times, writing from Narrowsburg,
n. Y, November lst, says: At four
o'clock this morning ar Erie Railway
freight train laden with petroleum, cot
ton and tobacco, eastward bound, when
about one mile west of this station ran
off the track. One Of the oil cars took
ire through some unexplained cause,
aud almost inst%autaueously the whole
number Of oil cars were enreloped in
one sheet of flame. The FIRE spread to
other cars containing cotton and tobac-
CO, consuming six freight and eight oil
cars. The scene presented by the con
fiagration was grand and fearful, light
ing up the surrounding country for
miles. As the fro was progressing, one
of the brakeussn, who had been missing,
was seen in the midst of tho flames, be-
tween two of the burning cars. The
intensity of the heat rendered all efforts
to get him put useless ; besides, he must
have been dead when first discovered.
The poor fellow had probably become
fastened between the cars, or overtaken
90 quickly BY the flames as TO render it
impossible to escape, and he w%as.roasted
to death, ali that remained Of him being
the cbarred trunk and bones. His name
was Jas. Rourke, and be resided a Lack
AWAKEN, Pa. Passenger trains were
detained ten hours by the accident.

ANDREW JOHNSON FINDS A
CONSTITUTION.

-
1t is not yet so clear a case, it seems,
whether Henry Cooper is to be a Sem
ator Of the United States. Andrew
johnson says he has not been constitu-
tiouslly elected, and Andrew johnson
is good authority on what a Constitution
is not. In this case he quotes the fol-
lowing clause from the Constitution OF
Tennessee, and if fairly quoted it does
seem to determine the issue against Mr..
Cooper
No Senator or Representative shall, during
the time for which he was elected, be ehgioie
to any office or place Of trust, the appoint
ment to which is vested in the Executive or
| the General Assembly, except to the ofnee Oh
a trustee Of a literary institution.
Constitutions have been so shifting
and short.lived in the Southern States,
that the Tennessee legislators are par
doned for not knowing it as well as they
perhaps do their catechisms. 1t cannot
~be.expected that citizens or statesmen
should be found to learn by hsart a doc
uneu. which every new administration
may radically change. Henry Cooper at
this time is, and at the time Of bis cleo.
ton was, q member of the upper House
Of tho Assembly, representing the
county Of Davidson, ard that being the
fact, the Johnson men argue that the
vote or election the other day was not
only illegal, but utterly void and of no
effect. Mr.. Cooper's friends claim thai
John Bell was elected to the Senate
years ago, while representing the same
District Davidson in the Assembly
but, although this may furnish a prece'
dent, it does not make law. Prscedents
are sometimes wrong-all vested wrongs
have presidents. The case is certainly
a hard one for Mr.. Cooper. Alas! tha'
q man should lose a seat in the Senate
of the United States for one in the
Senate of Tennessee. A resolution has
been introduced in the Assembly reciting
these facts and the clause Of tho Consti.
tuition, and declaring the election illegal
aud providing for a new one. This
tangle of course sxcites intense interest
in Tennessee, where the contest has
been the theme Of the day, and Johnson
the giant of the hour. The resolution
has been referred to the Judiciary Com
mittec, and there the matter lies for the
moment. The report will be looked for
with moro than usual anxiety in such
cases. Andrew johnson has ut last
found a Constitution to please him.
Should he be successful in endorsing
Mr.. Cooper, it will give him an emf
nsnce in Tennessee ms a constitutional
expounder that will not be shaken in
this generation.

ANNA DICKINSON AND THE

TIE Salt Lake Telegraph reviews Miss
Anna Z. Dickinson with q caustic pen

fairly eats her up. She is called by the
editor ia living illustration Of the
poets exclamation, Hell has no fury
like a woman scorned,' ," and then at.
tributes her "%romancing spleen to the
fact that she " wanted to lecture there
and couldn't get q chance" In eItenu-
alton of this harsh language toward a
lady an apology is offered thus: But

portion of the endearing phrases which

there is q wonderful discrepancy in
their statements. Anna says: "There

Anna says: "I looked into a house
aud saw half q dozen rooms and half a

and purer 10 thought and act than her
self; women who helped to pioneer this

holy and blameless." In conclusion,
Anna is advised to =" get married, and
behave herself like n lady" Perhaps
it is fortunate that these chron-
iclers are far apart, else their respective

aud %hair.pullng or scalp-taking might
ensue.

U ZEE ITEMS.

TFrou the Tribune Of November 49,
SroRMy.-Since our last issue, up to
Thursday night, it has rained almost
necessarily, and most of the time quite
q high wind has prevailed. 1t it has
rainsd as hard west Of the Summit as it
has on this side, farmers will be enabled
to do all the blowing they may wish,
and will furnish enough water to NIL the
mining bitches, aud permit the miners
to commence washing. The TrueSee
river, which has been quite low, is now
up ss high as it probably will be at any
time this winter. II is Il raro thing TO
have more water fall in the same space
of time than came from the clouds on
Wednesday night, from six o'clock P. NJ.
to six A.. n. The rain has extended to
the Summit-somcthing very remark
able. From appearances, tho storm is
not over yet.
KILLING RArs.-We learn that tho rats
have about overrun the town our mer-
chants complain that they can hardly
keep them out Of their goods, and the
lodging houses and hotels appear equal
" unfortunate. In view of this dis
tressing state Of affairs, it is proposed
to get up a grand rat killing tourna-
ment: Every householder in town to
nut out poison for his rats on the am
night. In this way it is thought much
good may be accomplished. We cant
see why the cooperative plan would
not work nicely in this instance.
Who'll lead in getting up tho rat "pi-
zsning?' ..
WE learn from a friend just in from
Sierra Valley hat the order of Good
Templars at Sierrnvillo arc making very
extensive preparations for the ball for
tho benefit Of the Widow and Orphans'
Fund, in their hall at Sierraville.
Quite q number Of the good folks Of
this town are intending to 60 over on
the occasion, should the weather DO
sufficiently pleasant to permit. We
hope that for so worthy an object a
goodly sum will be raised. The f. C..
VS. will, on the same day, celebrate
the laying Of the corner stone OF Boyee's
new hotel.
The Temperance lecture delivered by
DR.. C. S. Haswell, Grand Lecturer of
tho l. o. G. T., at the N. E. Church on
Wednesday evening, was very well at
tended, Notwithstanding the Indictment
state Of the weather.
THE farmers in Sierra Valley are &C
lively engaged in blowing their ground
and getting it in readiness for next sea-
son. Much more grain and vegetables
will be planted the coming season than
heretofore.

WHITE PINE ITEMS.
From the Inland Empire, November ii

From the Inland Empire, November ILL.,
ALL OF TUE BULLION Recovered
The last Of tho bullion stolen from the
Stanford mill, a few nights ago, was re-
covered yesterday. One Of tho parties
arrested made a clean breast OF
the whole affair, and going with tho
officers, showed them where the bullion
had been concealed. A portion of it
was found buried near the cabin In
which one OF the robbers lived, some
where in the vicinity Of tue Big Smoky
mill, and the balance below Sherman
town. The officers took charge OF both
parcels and brought them to this city.
The names of the parties who perpe-
trated this bold robbery are Ned Big
low. Jake Morrison, alias White, and
- Downs. The other two who were
arrested it appears had no connection
with the affair, futhsr than being on
terms Of intimacy with the robbers,
which at first led the officers to suspect
them. Biglow and his associates will
probably have an examination on Sat-
urday.
FIRST FIRE IN HAMILroN.-The first
fire in Hamilton occurred last night.
It originated near the corner Of Treasure
and Hunter streets a little after mid
night. The Gre originated in Jimmy
Gordon's Bakery, which was entirely
consumed. 1t communicated to the
| city prison, which had to be torn down
by the Hooks to prevent tho fire spread
ing. Several other buildings we're also
torn down for the Same purpose. The
entire damage will probably not exceed
$4,000 or $4,000.
A LOST BAR REcovsREp.-We made
mention q short time ago about a bar Of
bullion by Wells, Fargo Il Co., from
Newark, on one Of Taskor 4 Co.'s fast
freight wagons, being either lost OF
stolen on the road to Elko. Suisse
cuently the teamster and some other
parties were arrested by officers OF Elko
and made to reveal the whereabouts Of
the missing bar, which has been re-
turned 10 the rightful owners.
HoXS AGlIN.-Ziuc Barnes, who has
spent several months in Chicago and
other Eastern cities, oil matters con.
nectsd with White Pine mines, returned
day before yesterday to the land Of pog'
onip. Zinc, like most White Piners who
visit Chicago, is not much infatuated
with the people of that burg, who are
represented ms being well up in their
parts on pork and grain, but know
nothing about mines, and appear very
indifferent about taking lessons.
PETITION IN BAsKRUPTcY.-J. F. Tas-
kor, engaged the past ssnson in the fast
freight business between here and Elko,
has fled his petition in bankruptcy.

Bont.
SACRAMENTO, November ia shocking
affair occurred on L street, between Twcnti-
eth and Twenty-first streets, last evening.
Frank johnson, in a fit Of jealousy and tenn
porary insanity, stabbed his only child, aged
six months, with a dagger, in the presence
Of his wife, and inflicted such terrible wounds
that the bowels protruded and death i'm
mediately ensued. He then turned the muir
derous weapon upon himself, inficting cuts
in the left breast and lower abdomen. He
then ran n distance Of six blocks before cap
tured by citizens. johnson formerly resided
in the vicinity Of Gold Hill. He is an Amer
lean, aged 40 years, and will probably die
from his self inflicted wounds.
The late rains have increased the highth Of
the Sacramento River about six feet.
J. w. Tucker, jcweler Of San Francisco,
has presented the conductors of the Central
Pacific passenger trains with handsome gold
badges, which were received yesterday.
A movement is on foot to celebrate, in IN
appropriate manner, the completion and .oc-
c%upution Of the State Capitol building, which
will occur on the first Monday in December.
when the Legislature meets.
Cox & Clark's ferry boat, at the mouth Of
the American River, was carried away night
before last by the rise in the river consequent
upon the rain.
