TUEsDAY afternoon the eastward bound
passenger train ON the Central Branch Road
ran of the track . few mikes wet of Mus
cotah. The track spread, letting the engine
down, and throwing the train into the ditch.
Nobody was hurt, and the cans were not
badly damaged, hut the westward bound
passenger train was DELAYED several hours,
until the ditch train could be got out Of the
way. This Is the first accident Of the char
acter that has happened On the Central
Branch Road, and il is not very serious
one.-Atckisoa Champion.

men living in that vicinity Fa-

FOUND DEAD.-The Alma Herald states
that the body of man, supposed to have
been murdered, was found near the mouth Of
VermilliOn river, in POttOwatOmie County,
on Friday of last week. His head was con-
siderably bruised, and he had a strap around
his neck to which rUpe was attached. A
letter was found in his pocket, from which.
it is hoped he can Ike identified.

ANOTHER ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Iour
and five o'clock last evening, MI Joseph
Bradley, brother of Captain K. l.. Bradley
RECENTLY assassinated, walked into the hrst
precinct stationhouse, and informed Clerk
Tom Cummings that he was wounded ana
felt bad, as an occasional pain wrenched
him. An examination disclosed a small
sized penetrating wound in his abdomen,
from which very little blood had flowed
He WAS made as comfortable as possible,
hut inst before six o'clock, his condition be-
ing worse, he was sent to the Charity Hos
n;.al. When asked how and who wounded
him, all he stated was, that while at the
corner of Gravier and Franklin streets.
MAN. whose name is unknown to him.
stabbed him with sword-cane, after which
lie found his way to the stationhouse. The
wound is about in the centre OF his aodo-
men. small and angular, seeming to confirm
the statement that the weapon used was
slim. pointed instrument.
Thus far there is great similarity IN the
history Of tho two brothers. Each was
stabbed by an unknown hand in neigh
borhoods where they werc quite unknown
and the wounds were very similar In ehirac-
ter.
Since the above was written we learned
that Mr.. Bradley was examined by sur
geon in the hospital, who conclrded that
the patient was not hurt at all. and turned
him out into the street. Bradley was III
1oxicated, apparently. However, several
persons who saw the wound are still OF the
spinion that it is a serious one.

Wendell Phillips is opposed to that Kind
Of civilization that gives one man a million
OF dollars and another man not dollar,
and, It may be added, sometimes not even Il
breakfast. Wendell will sssuredly find many
who viii agree with him in this, though they
may have dissented from many Of his views
upon Other subjects. President Howard
Of the Louisiana State Lottery, may be Of
the number opposed to the kind Of ciyiiza-
tor spoken Of SO foreibly by the learned
Massachusetts lecturer; and it Is presum-
able that ne IS from the fact that he is at
the head Of an institution that undertakes
to remedy the evil of an unequal distribu-
ton Of wealth. The fact that in each of the
single number drawings of the Louisiana
State Lottery there are four hundred and
forty prizes, and many Of them sufficient to
make q person independent for life, ifproper-
ly taken care of, is sufficient to prove that
President Howard is in favor of the distri-
button of wealth. Let those, then, who
would have the chance Of wealth purchase
tickets in the daily drawings, and also in
the single number drawings that take place
but twice month. All have an equal
chance Of wealth IN these drawings.
