JAY GoULD's IGNORANCE OF ERIE Az
FA1Rs.-Jsy Gould appeared ON Thursday
before Kenneth G. White. master in
equity, as q witness in the investigation
into the disposal Of the Erie stock owned
in England. In answer to the first cues.
tion, whether he had produced the books
of the company called for in Ma. ter
Whites order, and whether he intended
to obey the summons, he said that he had
searched ill the books called for in the
order, but could find nothing bearing ON
the case. Commissioner White and Conn.
sci Southmsyd said that was no answer.
and, each repeated the question, but with
the same result. Mr.. Southmayd then
inquired as to the existence Of the books
in detail. Mr.. Gould said that he did
not know whether the company had q
stock ledger or stock transfer books. He
presumed there must be such books in ar.
istence, but he had never seen them tn his
knowledge. IT the books of the comnanv
were called for by an order of the couri
he did not know who would have the
power to direct their removal. He conlS
not tell without ca1eful examination of
the articles of the association. This wa.
q new question. The Erie COMPANY had
never had any litigation where il was
necessary to exercise that power. The
Erie charter was then ordered to be- nro.
duced, and the examination was adjourned
to Monday. ~. ~ - '--s 0A

SINGULAR RAILWAY ACCIDENTAL
the noon passenger train out of Boston on
the Concord Rsi'road approached the
Hooksctt station, on Monday afternoon,
the people awaiting it's arrival were as
tonished at seeing man lying on
the platform of the cow-catcher, with
one of his arms loosely thrown around
one of the rods of the engine. On exam
ination, the man was found to be dead ;
his body being yet warm. The deceased
was evidently an Engli-hman. and per-
haps forty five years oh. Nothing tend
ing to Identification was found upon his
person. The only injury found on the
body WAS the skull broken on the back of
the head.
Shortly after passing Martin'- Ferry,
the fireman saw man step from the
track. 1t Is supposed that afterwards.
through confusion, or desire to commit
suicide. the person stepped back on the
track and was struck by the engine. 1t
was thought that the body WIS that of
Joseph L,e, formerly Of Suncook. but il
was not certainly identified. Ga hearing
Of the accident, President Tower and
Superintendent hamberlin went immedi-
ately to Hooksett to learn the particulars.
and to see that the remains were properlv
taken care OF.

blaster, and Thomas Raycroft, the ma
chine runner. William Dunn died dur
ing the night. Churchill, the carpenter,
was short distance from tho others and
had : leg broken below the knee. The
first four were standing Immediately
under the charges, and were crushed to
pieces By the blast. Hr. Mason had both
arms and both legs torn from his body,
and his skull broken through. The
Shanleys autographed to North Adams for
medical aid, which was soon on the
ground. This accident takes the best
men from this work at the east end
Superintendent Mason was friend Of
the late Mr.. Redfeld, who induced him
to come to the tunnel from California and
take the position occupied by him at the
time Of his death. On his arrival be
found that Mr.. Redfield had been killed
but few days before.

TICoNDERoaA-Aco correspondent sends
us the following pleasant note from Ii.
conderoga under date Of April 18th:
Editor Rutldnd Herald = Enclosed
find $22. the amount due you for cub.
ecribers sent during the winter. l shall
endeavor to add to this list during the
year, and if our railroad and bridge il
completed We shall have considerable
trade with your town. val-
We appreciate the friendly feelings of
your citizens, and hope to reciprocate the
same, for we have had the 'cold shoulder"
60 long that we prize our neo friends
more highly. s-. 74a'
We are soon to lose the valuable SER
vices of our excellent physician, Dr. ]. H.
Bailey, who is about to make Rutland
his future residence. He leaves host of
friends, whose only consolation is that
''their loss is somebody's gain" The doc
tor can have many advantages in place
like Rutland that he cannot have here.
There is no hope for Ell" until We can
get good railroad facilities, as most OF our
enterprising and energetic citizens will
seek broader fields. With natural I'D.
vantages that very few places possess,
"Ti" has never been developed. Our
water privileges cannot be surpassed.
Yours truly,

The outrages Of the ku.Klux.

Some Of the more recent outrsges OF
that satanic order, the Ku-Klux, reveal .
degree Of diabolicsl cruelty and On.
vepomed hate that will stand without .
parallel in the history Of the world. The
bitter prosecutions engendered BY 70.
lisious intolerance that marked the me.
dieval agee, the barbarities Of the I'M
tutored aborigines Of our own land. do
not afford instances Of more nsroilsss
cruelty than IL displayed BY these later
acts of this hellish clan. While the min
ions Of this order retained enough Of chiv.
airy to con6ne their outrageous acts to
men alone, they were entitled to q certain
degree Of negative respect. But since
they have included defeneeless and In.
offending women among the objects OF
their cowardly assassination. the clover
deep" Of infsmy would seem to have been
reached.
This instance IL afforded in the recent
assassination Of Mr.. Robert Melton Of
Chesterfield county, South Carolina, with
his wife and daughter. For NO other
ofIense than that Of holding Politcsi
opinions adverse to these assasefns, ne
was, ON Sunday night not long since
visited at his dwelling by party Of
masked assassins.
He was summoned to appear at bill
door. Accompanied BY bis wife and
daughter, he obeyed the call. An old
man and two women. one would think,
could not be 90 dangerous 10 the peace Of
the commonwealth a. to demand immedi-
ate death and II gray hairs could no,
plead eRectually for mercy, feminine
helplessness might disarm ordinary bru
tality. But South Carolina ohivalry o.
the modern type is chargeable with nj
such tender sentiinentality. These mid
night visitors straightway fred volley
into the unresisting and helpless group
and they fell lifeless on their own TIRES
hold. 1t is difficult to command Ian
Ruage to express dstsstAtion for this aas.
tardly deed. It leads one almost to lose
faith in that divine justice that preside'
over all the affairs Of men, that sucf
diabolical outrsges are not visited will
immediate retribution. But We can RESI-
assured that the day Of such Aendishnes'
will soon end. A few more such cowsrdly
assassinations of helpless women, few
more loyal and noble hearts, like our ewn
Dickinson, hushed in death by the hand
Of these treacherous Williams, and il the
government cannot hold them in check
the loyal people will rise in their might
and wipe away such hideous blotche'
from the fair face of our own country.

THE BURGLARY.-Dilisen search was
made yesterday in the vicinity of the spot
where the three suspicious men were dis
covered at Pine Hill on Monday, for the
goods stolen from the store of Mr.. III. w.
Kingsley, but it proved entirely fruitless.
No trace of the missing property was dis
covered, and the officers are thus far bat
d ID in obtaining any clue to the place of
-. oo-~.el-~e-., -i.L-.si -shey are still
strong in their suspicions that the parties
under arrest are the burglars. and that
the goods are hid somewhere in this
vicinity. 1t is thought these men are the
same as were observed about the fair
grounds early on Monday morning, but
as the person who observed these men has
not yet seen the prisoners this fact is not
established This circumstance may give
Lew direction to the search for the mis-.
sing good4, which we understand will be
continued to-day. The suspected persons
will be examined to-day upon the charge
of vaRrancy, on which they were commit
ted. Further developments in regard to
the burglary will be awaited with inter.
est. Mr.. Kingsley has stimulated the
search by .fferiny n reward of 500 for
the detection and conviction of the bur-
glars and the recovery of the property.
