What Other Members Of Congress
Say.


Say.
During the past summer 1 have tray
eled in quite number of tho States and
have come in contact directly or indirect
ly with many gentlemen of high official
and social position in Washington, as well
as with various members of Congress, in
Guiding several from New Hampshire
and Maine. Being DESTROYS of ascertain
ing what rank our representative Lynch
had in the House, made particular in
auiries of each and all: the concurrent
expression was that he was respectable
representative, equal to a hundred others,
but of no particular force or weight, and
occupied third or fourth rate position.
Prior to the debate ON the "Shipping
Bill" his status was little better. But
the exhibition there was total and pain
full failure. He shew himself to be no
match for any Of the leading members,
and unable to meet, avoid, or resist attack
or defend himself or his measure. His
only resource was dry details of facts
which had been prepared by clerks in
tho Departments, and when the House
got weary of these and looked for some
logic, wit or power, and opponents r'ked
him down little, he lost his temper and
his cause.
With months of careful preparation he
could make no Roadway. nor show in the
debates. And when he aroused Schenck
of Ohio by an unwise and Incorporate
imputation, Schenck arose, and pointing
his finger at him demanded with no little
indignation, "Do you mean me, sir'"
Lynch quailed and hesitatcd. and then
said, IL take 1t al back" Then Schenck
retortei with caustic irony, like school
master speaking to boy, "You ought to
be ashamed of yourself for saying it."
They all concurred that Lynch made n
most pitiablc exhibition Of himself and
could never recover from the humiliation
of the scene. and the contemptuous indif-
ference of the House.
And yet the Press thinks that no man
in York county is his peer, and the Dis
trict would suffer irrcparablc loss If he is
not returned. What big boy was

thumb and pulled out that plum from

&C correspondent matter Of Congressional history
may not be out Of place. We would not bring the
matter up IL Mr.. LIS own paper was not coutin-
ually prating about his great influence In Con-
gress. and insisting on that account that he
should be returned at every cost. The history
is this When Mr.. Lynch first went to Congress,
coming from great commercial District. he was
placed sixth upon the committee Of Banking and
Currency with 7. NJ. POmeroy Of New York as

ACCIDENT AT THE BELLAIRE DEPoT -
Last evening about six o'clock gentle,
man and his wife arrived at Bellaire on
the Cleveland x Pittsburgh road intend.
ing to visit some friends in the country
a few miles from Bellaire Finding that
they could not obtain conveyance at
once, they resolved to come over to
Wheeling and pass the night, and in
this mind started to get on the omni-
bus. The lady made misstep and
fell between the step of the
bus and the platform. just as
she fell the driver Of the vehi-
Gle backed his horses unconscious
Of the position of affairs, and very seri-
ously injured the lady by tanning her
between the step and the platform.
She was rescued as speedily as possible
from her perilous position. We believe
that her legs were not broken, though
her injuries are said to be severe. No
blame can attach 10 the driver Of the
bus for he was entirely unaware Of the
position OF affairs. The injured lady
was taken to the Grant House.

Police CoURT-There wasn't first

of the police court, either Of subjects or
of silent and awe-stricken spectators.
Jimmy johnson No. = was there.
Jimmy has saturated his mortality with
fusil oil, and it went back on him.
Made him sick and sleepy. He spread
himself out on bench in the Second
Ward market for sleep where an ever,
watchful guardian captured hun. He
was fined 81 and costs. OF course he
didn't have so much lucre. He never
does. He prefers the geology business
to banking. Prof. Noah Price will
take care of Jimmy's education for the
next five days.
A man was taken in out OF the market
house Yesterday morning about o'clock
so drunk that he could neither walk,
talk nor keep still. He was lying on
his back feeling up for the ground.
He was tried under the legal cognomen
of Richard Roe and was fined 81 and
costs, his drunk being the plainest thing
in the business. He had ducats enough
topay the bill.

LIFE IssURANcE.-The science of life

LIFE INsURANcE.-The science of life
insurance is so complex that but few
persons understand it in all its bearings
yet we can all understand the advan-
tage to be gained BY having all the
money paid into the various companies
invested at home, on the plan proposed
by the Life Association Of America, a
plan that must increase in popularity
because by it policies are secured at
much less cost than under the old sys-
tenn, as the Life Association pays no
continued renewal commission on Its
trustee policies and the legitimate result
of this saving is larger dividends to its
members. People are beginning to in
sure their lives as much for the sake OF
dividends as for the insurance and OF
course the company that is able to pay
the largest legitimate dividends is ne
cessarily the best That this is being
done by the Life Association, no one
who has investigated the matter can for
a moment doubt. 1t is proved by the
past that although the Association has
had control Of the Departmental West
Virginia for very short time its sue
cess has been immense, its solvency as
sured and its investments certain
and profitable. These facts are
known to every man IN the
! State. The Life Association issues
its policies on as favorable terms as
any other company, and at the same
time loan their surplus funds to our
own citizens to be used in building up
the general wealth of the State But
we refer those wishing TO investigate
the matter to the manager OF this De
partment, Major j. c. Anderson, who
will give them more information in re
gard 10 tie workings OF the Life Asso'
citation in five minutes than we could

RA1LRoAp.Aoc1pRxr.-The FAST lime

oADsAocIDKNr.-The fast line
on the Baltimore e. Ohio railroad which
left here night before last, in charge Of
Conductor Sprigg, collided, yesterday
morning, about four o clock, with FIVE
freight cars which had broken loose
from train and were standing on.the
track near Piedmont The only per
son hurt, as far as We could learn, was
the Baggage Master, Thomas Terrell.
By dispatch received from Piedmont
Yesterday, we learn that it had been
found necessary to amputate both OF
Ferrelrs feet His wife left this city
last evening to go to him. The con-
ductor of the freight train had been
called forward to attend to some duty
and was not aware Of the loss OF his
cars until he got to New Creek. AS
soon as he did find out that his train
had been broken in two he fastened
back with all speed, but was too late
to prevent the accident. The night was
very dark and the rain fell in torrents,
so that the engineer of the passenger
train was not able TO see the obstruction
until he was into it. From what we
can gather it was one of those accidents
that no one is particularly to blame tor.
