\ YOWnx Man Killed BY the Cars o.
the Beaver city 4. R.-His Funeral
Yesterday.
From the St. Joseph Union, Tuesday,
Newspapers are often called to chronicle
sad results. Death is always at work, call
ing here and there from among mOrtals, some
whom We know. But the duty seldom de-
wolves upon us of recording SO sad a death
as that of Frank Sayward, which happened
on Saturday last, under the most painful
circumstances.
Young Sayward was well known to many
of our citizens. His mother had resided
here until few months ago, when she re-
moved to Elwood. Frank was a clerk in
Mr. WhittemOre's grocery on Felix Street,
for two years. While there, by his gentle
manly depOrtmenr he made many friends,
in fact, the general opinion Of the people is
that he was good young man.
On Saturday last, his brother-in-law, Mr..
Tiffany, desired Frank Sayward to take his
place as breakman on the passenger train
which left in the afternoon ON the Denver
City railroad, As he wanted to spend the Sab
bath i'm st. Joseph. Frank consented and
went out on the road. The train arrived at
Hamlin at the usual time, and the necessary

ward had to couple the engine to the baggage
car For some reason the bolt which fa,tens
the car to the locomotive, slipped, and the
bumpers came together, crushing the
Young man in horrible manner. He
was caught about the waist, which
was literally smashed. After the acci-
dent, which occurred about 3 O'Clock, he
was put on board the train and taken to
Hiawatha, where medical assistance was pro-
cured. During all this time he was sensible
and suffered excrutiating pain. There he
lay until about II O'Clock at night, when
death came to his relief On Sunday his
body was brought to the home Of his heart
stricken mother, which he had left the after
noon previous, in good health and buoyant
spirits.
Many of his acquaintance went over to
ElwoOd to view his remains ON Sunday after
noon. At the time Of his death he was en-
-ployed in the yard of the st. Joseph and
Denver City Railroad at ElwoOd.

[Fun Our Travelling Correspondent
II God ever made a perfectly beautiful
country, i i to be seea along the line I
have marked out. While We glide over it
on the A., T. 4 s. F. r. r, everything
seems to coospire in kindling and raising the
enthusiasm Of true Kansan, who loves his
State to the highest pitch. had heard a
great deal about this country, especially the
Great Neosho valley, and supposed, Of
course, that It was beautiful, and poasessed
most of the advantages claimed by its people;
bat had traversed the eastern tier OF
counties, and the second, and pass
ed over a line from Lawrence to
Burlingame and Council Grove; had seen the
beautiful country about Silver Lake and
along the Kansas river to the source If the
Republican, and travelled all over Northern
Kansas, and had naturally concluded that
about half Of what We heard might be set
down as gasconade-that great portion of
what was claimed existed only in the imag-
nation Of the parties mostly interested. But,
as have indicated, a trip and an actual
view soon opens to our eyes the reality.
As | notice briefly the more important
stations along the road, shall give some
what succind description of the country and
Its principal resources, As this seems to be
information very much desired, not only by
the immigrant, bu. by our own people, who
require it for the purpose of securing, If pos
sible, more comfortable homes.
Challender's is the first station We reach
after leaving Topeka, and requires, for the
present, only a mere notice as such. For
some miles before reaching this station the
course of the road Is such as to afford the
most splendid view of the Capital and State
House. Enchantment is lent to the view,
in this instance, by reflections upon the
ground, incidents which make up the history
Of the beautiful city. The road between
these two points is considerably winding,
and results from the necessity Of following
the ravine along which it courses.
A few miles further brings us to Cotton
wood Grove station, which is indicated by
fine grove Of cottonwood trees around
farm house. Away out here on level,
but beautiful prairie, this grove is refreshing
to one not expecting to come upon it so sud
denly, somewhat after the manner of the
traveller when his eyes catch sight of the
Chronicle is almost the neatest country paper
in Kansas, and has large circulation and
influence. l regret that the length of this
letter prevents further mention Of Burling-
anne, at present, but promise another visit
soon, when shall speak Of it in detail. l
will notice, however, before closing, that
there is at this point one of the hest school
houses in the State, and a steam grist mill
scarcely excelled. Crops along the entire
route are excellent-corn, especially. l in

FROM Arkansas the news is encouraging.
The Republicans are quite confident of in
creasing their majority, and of carrying the
entire Congressional delegation. Governor
CLAYTON, who is candidate for Senator, Is
making an active canvass. The registered
vote at the last election was about 81, 600, and
that cast about q, 200. The colored vote
was 1900; about 4, 200 persons are disfran-
chised, but the feeling in favor Of amnesty is
on the increase.

We hardly think that the people who have

is the best prestige of success. And Beates
thinks Just As We do.

was one of the party, and excited the jea!ooy
Of jackson BY dancing q long time with his
wife. jackson finally ordered his wiz 70
stop dancing, and this led to quarrel BE-
tween the two men. After some alteration
Roberts fed from the shanfy in the directioa
ofthe brewery, closely pursued BY Jscksoo.
When near the brewery, and four or FIVE rod
from the shanty, Roberts turned ON his pur-
a,er and Stabbed him with small dirk
knife. The wound was just below the heart,
and the murderoE intent Of the black fend

walked back to the house, fell into the arms
of his wife, and almost Immediately expired.
He never spoke after receiving the fatal sab.
He was aged about thirty years, and had been
in the city but few weeks.
AAer the murder Roberts went immetli-
ately toWilder House, drew from the clerk the
amount Of pay due him, and, it is supposed,
fed from the city. He Is said TO be dam
gerous man, and had before perpetrated two
or three murders. 1t is reported that re-
ward Of 500 is offered for him by the au-
thorities of some locality in Arkansas, for
the murder of an Irishman.
Our authorities should remit no effort in
securing him, and he should pay the just
penalty Of his many bloody crimes.
LATER.-A despatch received by Marshal
Hyde, from A. J. Clemans, Sheriff Of John
son County, announces that Roberts was
arrested at Olathe yesterday. 1t appears
that he took the train at Osaga, hat de-
spatch from Marshal HYDE was at Olathe in
advance of him, and he was arrested upon
the arrival of the train. The Marshal took
the train Last evening for Olathe, and will
return with the prisoner to-day.
The Marshal il entitled to great credit for
his activity and vigilance in procuring the
arrest of Roberts. As soon as he learned Of
the murder, he at once instituted thorough
search Of the city and vicinity, and BY morn
ing became satisfied that Roberts had left
town, and he then despatched to all points
he could reach, and thus promptly secured
the arrest.

We insert a communication to-day in re
gard to the question Of Superintendent of
Schools which is longer and more Personal
than the occasion demanded. Our own po-
sition on this question is soon stated. We
want Republican in that Office and propose
to have one. We will favor any good man
or good woman for that place who is friend
of the education of all classes and colors. II
is a matter which Conventions have hereto
fore settled, and will hereafter, and we shall
abide BY that decision, as We are accustomed
to do. The Democrats elect their men to
Office every time they get chance. Republi-
cans will do the same. And the Republican
party is not inferior to the Democratic party
in its number of educated men.
