FICndish Outrage I'm Monroe COun-
~, West Virginia

From the Monroe Register.l
Captain /. F. Watts-who has a
store and bar at Alderson'a Ferry
having had difficulty with a young
man named Saunders, living at Mr..
George V. Perry's, about mile distant,
employed two negro men, (named John
Lee Randolph and Pleasant PRICE,, to
whip Saunders; and after giving the
negroes whisky enough TO make them
drunk, they repaired to Mr.. Perry's for
the purpose OF carrying out their design.
When they got there, they were inform
cl hat the young man was not in; the
negroes remarking that they did not be-
lieye it, and would go back and bring
rein forcements, which they did, taking
with them two white men, named re-
specrivelv Anderson and Keadle.
When they returned, they broke into
the house, knocking Mr.. Perry down,
and one Of the negro men badly beating
him, while the other caught his wife,
and after tying her to the bedpoSt, by
her hair, outraged her person in bru-
tai manner. The two white men set
ting on the wood pile, near the house,
all the while, hearing the cries for help
and rendering no assistance; warrants
were issued for the arrest of the parties.
Anderson made his escape, Keadle was
discharged. The negroes were lodged
in Jail on Wednesday night last.
Great excitement exists in the neighbor-
hood where the occurrence took place,
and it was with great difficulty that one
Of the Young Perry's was prevented
from shooting the parties concerned.
From the indignation existing against
Watts in the community, for having
employed the negroes to whip Saunders,
and resulting as it did, it became neces-
-ary to lodge him in Jail, also.

THE steamboatmen interested in the

The steamboatmen interested in the
navigation Of the western rivers COM
plain that the recent enactments bear
unnecessarily heavy upon them; that
the law requires them to be at great ex-
pense in putting various patent contri-
vauces, as itappears, for the sole purpose
OF assisting the inventors and manufac'
turers OF such contrivances TO dispose OF
their wares; that the legislation for the
protection of life on railroads is not so
rigid and exacting; and that under the
existing state Of affairs, these laws arc
calculated to render the business OF
steamboating so expensive that it must
have the effect OF greatly lessening the
ability OF steamboat owners to trans.
port freight; and is, in fact, sort OF
embargo on, or prohibition Of river
commerce. influential steamboatmen
in Cincinnati have considered the sub
iect and are preparing memorial and
remonstrance against the enforcement
of the navigation law passed at the last
session of Congress, and the regulations
adopted in pursuance OF the provisions
of that act. Steamboatmen at st. Louis
and other ports, it is expected, will
cordially cooperate in the movement.

that the interview was entirely satisfac
tory.

Southwest Pennsylvania road would be
completed to the State line for the pur-
pose OF connecting with the Northern
and Southern road, and were urged to
effect an organization at once. Mr..

appointed at a meeting Of the friends Of
the road, was received and the directors
of the Southwest read asked leave to
publish it, which was granted. This

pass, mineral wealth, and many in

The Kentucky and Great Eastern
Railroad.

This enterprise, recently organized,
the Louisville C0,rier-Jomnal says, ex.
hiblts such signs of vitality as to give
1t an aspect OF success. The road will
start from Newport, Kentucky, (oppo.
site Cincinnati, and stretching through
the intervening counties to Maysville,
there take up the line Of the Maysville
and the Big Sandy road, on which a
large portion OF the grading and mason
ry is done. Over this line it will run to
the mouth of the Big Sandy, at Cat
lettsburg, there it will connect with the
Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, acquir-
ing at once an all rail communication
with the seabord. This, however, will
not be the case ofthe road. The company
intend to continue it as an independent
line from. Catlettsburg through West
Virginia, Virginia and Maryland, across
the northeast corner Of Pennsylvania
and into New Jersey, when by contract
or consolidation with some New Jersey
road, it will reach New York city, thus
forming line more than a hundred
miles shorter than any Of the routes
from Cincinnati to New York, the
PENNSYLVANIA Central being 746 miles,
while it is claimed that this new route
will reach New York in GAO miles; and
it is added by the friends OF the enter
prise that by reason of lighter grades
and lower curves the difference in favor
of their road will be increased still
more. The maximum grade Of this
road is stated to be 80 feet to the mile,
while that of the Baltimore and Ohio
is given at III feet to the mile. The
Board of Directors consists OF s. w.
Morton, OF New York, President; A.
Wrightson, of Newport, KY, Secretary;
General J. C. Fremont, of New York;
A. G. Holder, of Cincinnati; General
\. P. Banks, of Massachusetts; Jas.
T. Brady, of Pittsburgh, and DR.. John

a recent meeting Of the Board it was
represented that General n. 2. Banks,
who is in Europe, had been entirely
successful in his negotiations with Eng
lish capitalists, who have promised all
the aid that is necessary upon fair
showing Of earnest and energetic effort
on the part OF the company and rea-
sonable chance of success.

WEATHER REPORT.
Synopsis for the Past Twenty-Four
Hours.

WASHINGTON, September -, 2. M
The barometer has fallen suddenly at
the Rocky Mountain stations. The
high pressure north of Missouri has eX-
tended its influences southeastward to
the gulf. The pressure continues quite
low in Florida where cloudy and light
rain continues. The low barometer IN
New England, has apparently extended
eastward and a second area Of low
pressure and brisk westerly winds Is
reported from Lake Ontario. The lat
ter has probably come from Lake
Superior, with which region telegraph
communication has been interrupted Tor
a week. Fresh northwest winds are
reported from the lakes and northeast
erly winds in the Gulf States, except
Southern Florida. Partially cloudy
and clear weather has very generally
prevailed today.
ProbabihtisS.-A rising barometer
with pleasant weather is probable for
Thursday for the Southern and Gull
States. A falling barometer with
cloudy weather in the northwest. The
storm on Lake Ontario will probably
move,eastward and extend to Maine dur
ing the day,

TIDIOUTE, PA.
Destructive Fire-Stabbed.

TIDIoUrE, September 27.-About Il
o'clock last night a fire broke out in
the Syracuse House, which was entirely
consumed. Very little furniture was
saved. The building was owned by
Bucks Hallerbreth. Loss about S6O0G
insured for $50. The building adjoin-
ing the Syracuse House, which was
owned by Mr.. Buck, was also burned.
Loss, $1,000; insured for 5000. A build
ing owned by Mr.. Martin was pulled
down to prevent the spreading Of the
flames. The insurance on the latter
building will amount to $1,000. The
fire is supposed to have originated in
the porters room by fire falling on q
mattress. The Western Union tele'
graph office was located in the Syracuse
House, and consequently shared the
fate Of the rest Of the building.
During the excitement a man named
Dan Mccarthy was stabbed in the Ieft
lung, and is not expected to live.

Death ora Remarkable Man.

Died, September 16, 1871, at Sandy
Hook, Nd, Mr.. James O'Neil, at the
patriarchal age Of ninety-three years.
In many respects Mr.. O'Neil was a re-
markable man. Although far beyond
the allotted age Of mankind, he retain
el to a singular degree and almost to
the hour of his death the mental and
physical yigor for which he was noted.
Cnas,uming and retiring to a fault, he
yet had in his veins the blood OF the
lroulc,t chivalry of christendom, the
- Nciis Of Tyrone the victors OF Ben
hurb and The Yellow Ford" and the
hravest and most persistent enemies OF
Saxon domination in Ireland.
His age enabled him to recall from
memory that glorious though sad pc
rod in the history ofhis native country
which is illumined by the genius Cur
ran and Grattan and the heroism OF
Emmett and Fitz Gerald. Many a
thrilling narrative could the old man
relate Of the memorable Summer OF
1913 when at New Ross, Oulard, Ark
low, Vinegar Hill and Tara Of the
hlngs the peasantry OF Wexford
armed with pixies and shot-guns encoun-
tered one hundred and thirty-four
thousand British soldiers, many Of
them Veterans Of Bunker Hill and
Braudywine-a struggle which though
1t ended disastrously for the patriots
Is one of the most glorious in the
annals Of any people
For many wears Mr.. O'Neil had his
coffin prepared, and painted by his own
hands with the national colors an en-
hlem Of his native land. In this coffin
he was buried and there is something
very touching in this display Of the old
man ruling passion-strong in death
An aII-absorbing love for the country
rendered illustrious by the deeds OF hi
chIyalrous ancestors. He sleeps in th'
romantic cemetery of Harper's Ferry
enshrouded with the flag which hi
lore-iathers so often carried through
The crash of battle to victory on tn
shores OF Lough Erne, and it may no
be too much to hope that his spirit re
Joices In the foreknowledge it nom pos
sesses of the day Of deliverance for tn
land which he loved so we'll.
Reqg!escat in peace. B.
