SINGULAR ACCIDENT AT NEwBURG-BurSt-
ing of Fly Wheel.-[Correspondence
Grafton Sentinel HOn Monday evening
Goth inst. about $40, loud explosion was
heard throughout the town, and looking in
the direction whence it proceeded, the air
was seen filled with fragments OF timber,
&c. Of course the excitement for time
was great, until the cause and extent OF
the damage done was ascertained. Upon
inquiring, We learned the following: We
have before referred to the machinery
erected here by the Orrel Coal Company.
It i7enclosed in two-story frame building,
at the dump-house, and all the machinery
was of an apparently staunch, heavy char
acter. On the evening in question MIR.
John II. Henry was pumping up, and was
not running the engine at excessive speed,
when. from some unknown cause, the large
iron fly-wheel, about ten feet in diameter,
flew to pieces, and scattered itself in all di-
rections. One piece, abont five feet long,
eight inches wide, and two inches thick,
was thrown about thousand feet, tearing
out in its travels one end Of the house !;
another Of same size, following it, went
about one hundred feet, and, buried itself
completely in the ground !; another tore a
hole in the roof. and crossing the track on
the plane, fell on pile of railroad iron,
cutting one bar in two.
Mr.. Laurence Henry, superintendent Of
the mines, Mr.. George Mckense, and
Frank Henry were sitting on the steps lead
ing to the second story OF the building. A
piece of the wheel passed within three feet
of them, tearing away the steps they were
sitting on, and giving the gentlemen a
"scare." Fortunately no one was hurt ex-
cept Frank Henry, who was struck on the
wrist by a piece of wood, only causing a
slight swelling of that part. -
No reason can be assigned for the eXplo-
sion

4 A CONFERENCE.-The telegraph told us
yesterday, first, that the Supreme Court
had decided that the Federal Government
could not tax the salaries Of State judges,
aud, secondly, that some Radical Congress
man had prepared bill which it was sup
posed would be acceptable TO Congress as
substitute for the anti-kukluX bill, for
Furnishing State officers who should fail to
perform their duty in the matter OF pro-
tecting the negroes in all their rights.
These two kilograms do not appear to be
consistent with each ether. The Supreme
Court long ago decided that Congress could
impose no duties upon State officers. They
are absolutely independent of Federal
authority. If there are any duties which
Congress desires to have performed, that
body must provide its own officers we
| would greatly prefer the SuELLABARGER
| bill to any bill which should thus undertake
| to control the officers OF the several States.
| In it's anxiety to annoy the Southern peo.
pie, Congress seems to have lost sight OF
| the Constitution altogether.

A THRILLING SroRY.-A Georgia paper,
which believes in telling strong story
when it attempts to tell one at all, relates
one in effect as follows 2: A county tax col.
lector in Alabama collected large amount,
gave it to his wife, and then said he must
be absent from home for several days. He
left, she hid the money, and at night three
manded the money. She refused to give it
up or tell where it was. Failing to force
her to tell the hiding place, they searched
for it, and found it, and then ordered her
TO get them some supper. Bu>ying herself
with this forced task, she conceived the
idea Of poisoning them, and thus preserv-
ing at once the money and her husband
honor. She slipped some arsenic in the
coffee, they drank heartily, and tell dead
shortly afterward. Then she stripped their
dsguises off, and found that two of the vii
lains were strangers, but the third was her
husband. Tableau.-NeU York Times.
rive suppose the above was considered a
capital Aprii-fool joke.1

The New York Times says that "th
" Democrats of South Carolina do not seel
I" to cover their designs, but openly avov
themselves in favor of reputation"
argues that the northern people should
therefore beware Of Democratic ascendancy
in the councils Of the nation. y
The Times, II tits honest, will be glad to
learn that the reputation in favor of which
the Democrats of South Carolina ayow
themselves to be, is of the debt saddled
upon them by the Radical carpet-baggers
and scslawaes Of the State Legislature, not
of the national debt, which no southern
man, SO Ear as we know, desires to repu-
diate. We know what a worthless cur
rency il, and that it would cost us more to
repudiate lhe national debt than to pay it.

New PAPERs.-The Golden Age is THEo-
poRE TILToN's new paper. Notwithstand-
ing all our prejudices against T1LToN, we
are compelled to acknowledge that he
knows how to edit live paper. He is as
crazy as SUMNER on the negro question,
however.
The Capital is DOM PIATT and GEORGE
ALFRED TOWNSHIPS new paper. 1t is wit
ty, gossipy, and perhaps trifle malignant,
but quite readable.
The Virginia Clinical Record is ga
monthly journal Of medicine, surgery, and
the collateral Sciences" published in this
city. The names OF its contributors are a
] sufficient guarantee that it will be service
able to the profession. We say, with HENRY
WARD BEEcHER, that we don't believe in
any particular theory Of medicine we be-
| leve in DR.. -, whom we know to be
| learned, skillul, and trustworthy. So,
knowing nothing about medicine or medi-
cal theories, we don't intend to read any of
the articles in this Record, just as we never
publish any recipes for the cure of diseases,
but leave all such matters to the doctors.

: ,vror, r,s,,csstertPa.) mtelligencer, March so.J
For sorS1e weeks past numerous trtcksters
/ AZ the Republican patty, have Deen Dusty;
sengneed I'm preparfng an apporti0nment
6il1. and The result Of their joint labnrs has
mt last been presented In the shape or q re-
port from. the committee of the lower
House. A glance at 1t shows that it IL q
more outrageous gerrSmander than tnat, OF
1854, which became 30 odtous toward the
last TINT no respectable Republican news
paper attempted to defend 1t. Under the
Senate apportionment bill, whichever party
cnrried the State on general vote would De
certain to secure majority in the Legislar'
ture. .........s..... ...T !
What q contrast to that Is the bill pre-.
seuted by the Housel 1t gives the Repub::
licans nineteen Senators certain, and makes
two. doubtful districts. 1t fastens five
staunch Democratic counties in hopelessly
Republican districts, while the Senate bill
placed only two small Republican counties
In Democratic districts. 1t gives TO Allie
ghany, with. O., 900 taxables, three Senator'S,
while Ltizerne, with $4,000 taxables, Is
given but one. Republican Crawford, with
but II 1858 taxables, is giyena Senator, while
Democratic York, with 1888 taxables, is
abes. Applying the vote Of 1858 as the
| test, the House bill makes twenty Senate
rial districts Republican, and leaves but
thirteen Democratic. ..,,,. .., ..~.....;.
All these outrages are incorporated In the
House bill for the express purpose OF max
| ing and keeping the Senate Republican, no
matter what may be the political complex
ion Of the State. The Democrats might have
a popular majority of twenty thousand for
years to come without being able TO secure
a majority in the higher branch of the State
Legislature.
The apportionment for members OF the
| House is still more unjust and inlqultous.
Radical Chester, with 1850 taxables, Is
given three members, whilst Democratic
Montgomery. with 22,247 taxables, is given
but two. Philadelphia is so outrageously
districted that the Democrats cannot elect
more than five members, while the Repuo-
licans make sure of thirteen, when the
whole difference between the parties IS
not equal to the ratio for one member,
Here, too, we find the same dlscrlmlna-
ton on the aggregate. which Is notlceaDie
in the apportionment for memoers Oh tne
Senate. The Democratic counties which
are given representation have an excess OF
10, 1876 taxables, while the Republican
counties lack 1898, making total dis
elimination against the Democrats on the
House apportionment of 81, 424. Adding
together the losses shown in the appor-
tionment Of the two Houses, we find that the
Democrats lose representation on a ,4ol
tayables. The Harrisburg Patriot, from
which we take these figures, says: " with
such odds in their favor the Republicans
could laugh ut yerdicts Of the people on
the popular vote, and in spite of a majority
of $4,000 against them, still control the
law-making power"

.ays that "the white boy who has for some

" seeded by one of dark skin, on the recon-

So that il appears that PORTER has ac'

ought to have his own face painted black,
thus reversing the process spoken of by

that the appetite demands more food than The
