Saturday morning, says the Cumberland
News of yesterday, we made mention of a
rumor current of two persons having been kill
ed day or two before by the cars near Grafton.
From the Wheeling Intelligencer we learn that
the persons killed were husband and wife,
strangers in that part of the country, from Rap,
pahannock county, Virginia. They had arrived
at Independence with their two children but a
few minutes before the terrible accident occurr-
ed. They were on a visit to friends living
about half a, mile from that station. On get
ting off the cars they at once started on foot,
with the children in their arms down the track
for their friends house. On reaching bridge
the father first took the children across, put
them down by the side of the track, and re-
turned for the mother. While the father and
mother were crossing over, the fast line caught
them, instantly killing the mother, and so in
jured the father that he died within the next
few hours. No names. 81 "

ALEXANDRIA ALI: Al j ia, VA.

The Washington correspondent OF the Baltl-
more Sun says that a Radical caucus with thir-
ty-six Senators voting out Of the ffty-eight
belonging to the party in the Senate, decided
yesterday that it would not respond to the vote
of the House in favor of the immediate passage
of an amnesty BILL 1t was plain to see, from
the debate and vote, that the Presidents in
Auence was clearly at the bottom Of the oppo-
sition to the final passage of the House measure
at this session; for while Senators Wilson,
Sherman, Robertson, Sawyer and others adyo.
Gated such step as an olive branch to 60 hand
finland with the Ku-Klux bill, the Presidents
special representatives in the Senate, Senators
Norton Conkling and Edmunds, warmly OPP
posed it, and were even unwilling that the sub
iect should be considered in the Senate. III
brought up, its friends were threatened with a
week or two Of debate, which would protract
the session and in the end increase the opposi-
ton to the bill. The motion to consider 1t was
then lost by vote of l6 to 20. Several Sena-
tors preferred to dodge the issue and did not

The New York Tribune says "Nomore pi-
teous characters haunt Washington and the
Capitol lobbies, than the claimants. A claim
against the Government is perpetual curse,
and blights many life IF the claimants could
but recognize what miserable existence Of
years Of alternate hope and despair they are
entering upon, they would scatter their proofs
to the wind and stay quietly at home, retrev-
ing their losses in the war by more certain, less
anxious, and far less difficult industry than
dancing attendance on different and constantly
changing Congresses at Washington. y

boots, in the morning, he could not find the
old familiar pair. he had forgotten the new
ones; he hunted and hunted in vain. The
stage was ready, and so he looked carefully
round to see that he was not observed, put on
nice pair that fitted him, called the waiter
and told him the circumstance, giving him ten
shillings for the owner. The owner never

TLEGANTH HAIR adds charm to the plain
IL est face; but when faded, features before
agreeable lose their comeinesS, and the whole
expression is that of advancing age This being
Il fact, it is not surprising that even injurious ar
ticles should have been prepared to supply the
millions who wish to avoid premature gray hair.
Under these circumstances it will scarcely be
wondered at that NATTANS CRYSTAL DIS

binary success.
Ii is the only preparation furnishing safe and

from all poisonous and deleterious matter and
