suicide yesterday, by shooting himself
through tho heart. There is no apparent
cause for the act. mns

assaults with bullet, knife, hayOnet and
axe. While the police nre searching for

The Railroad Again.

The Commissioners appointed to make
q new survey Of the Panhandle Railroad
in the neigibOrhood OF Holidays Cove,
entered upon their duties in the early part
of the week. The great bone Of conten'
ton" in locating this road lies in the fact
that the former survey went directly
through the property Of Nathaniel Wells,
Esq, lying opposite Steubenville. We
understand that this gentleman will offer
no obstacle to the building Of this road,
provided new survey Is made as indI.
Gated by him. We have not the means OF
knowing whether this will increase the
cost OF building the road TO any extent or
not. The Commissioners will, at the next
term Of the Circuit Court, make their re-
port, when II decision will, we hope, be
rendered, which will be tlnal.- v WetIsb"ry

THE SPECIAL ELECTION.
Population of the City nearly : 900.


The special election for CounciIman in the
Second Ward, ON Saturday last, to decide the
tie between G. w. Frederick and NJ. G. Mains
at the election on the first Monday Of this
month, resulted in 20 votes for Frederick and
"A for Mains. and one vote thrown out, making
the total number OF electors 154, thirty more
than were registered at the former election,
showing not only that the citizens of the town
were not fully alive at the first election to the
issues involved, but that the full vote Of the
city was not more fully polled than in our re-
port of the election we declared.
II was generally conceded that the number
Of voters at the first election was greater in
the Second Ward in proportion to the number
Of residents therein than in any other ward of
the city; which was accounted for by reason of
the strenuous efforts OF the WHISKY interest to
bring outfits full strength.
1t will be liberal estimate to allow one
half az many qualified voters, on an average,
to each Of the other wards who did not vote at
the first election as were in the Second. which
will make 45 to each ward, and i65 non-voting
qualified electors in the city. This added to
the 3S5 registered voters at the first election,
makes SOC qualified voters. From this show
ing, according to the basis OF calculation ad-
opted by the papers Of Leavenworth and 9TH
er cities in the State, which is seven to the yo-
ter, and which, consideriDgthe great number
Of newcomers who have not been here long
enough to secure a vote, is not unreasonable,
