Fatal Accident at the Wreck OF the
Burned Erie Mail Train.

On Thursday last, the gravel train was
sent to the scene of the accident of the pre-
vious Monday night to bring away the
fragments of the ruined train. The der
rick was mounted on platform car and
the work of drawing the parts up the bank
was begun. The larger portions drew so
heavily upon the car that it became neces-
sary to chain the car to the trach to keep 1t
from turning under the strain. This was
done, and the turning OF Ine crank of the
derrick went on. The strain increased,
and the strength Of the iron chain was put
to its scvcrest test. when 1t broke, causing
the car to fly from the track and roll down
the bank. Three men were at the crank
when the chain broke, and one of them,
Michael Geary, was shot into the air like n
rocket. going over the telegraph wire and
falling upon the iron remains of the burned
cars. A piece of iron went through his
body, injuring him so severely that he died
in few moments. The other two men,
Patrick Marshall aud John Mclaughlin,
went down the bank with the car, and were
both very seriously injured, the first in the
back, and the second about the head. Mi
chael Geary leaves wife and seven children
John McLaughlin's injury following SO
close upon the burning of his house, which
occurred on Tuesday morning last. while
he was away with the gravel train at the
scene of the accident to the Erie mail,
makes his trouble doubly hard TO bear.
The funeral of Michael Gcary took place
on Saturday, from the Catholic church, and
a large body of his friends followed his re.
mains to the grave.
The families of these unfortunate men
should receive attention from the benevO-
lent Clinton Republican.

THE editor of the Democrat pretends to
say, that Col. Mcclure. who was so hand
somely defeated in the 4th district by ii.
w. Gray, was Republican. The very
fact that the editor ofthc Democrat, showed
his anxiety for McCure's election satisfied
us that he ives on the Democratic side, and
by the evidence of one of his own witnesses
at an investigation held at Philadelphia,
when Mr.. Bonham cross examined him,
made the following statement, which shows
that he was entirely in the hands Of that
party. The witness says:
II live No. 1l50 South Ninth street am
n printer have lived there about n year ;
have worked at printing uninter-l uptedly
about eighteen years am now on the
Public Record was paid to go on the errand
in the Nineteenth ward.

among my men.
Bonham-IIow much to each
Witness-Sl5.
Bonham-llow many men

report of fraud and corruption?

COFFEE, TEA AND DEMoCRACY.-The
Democratic party in olden times was al
ways favorable to any measure that provi-
ted for the welfare of the laboring classes.
But Southern Influence, long since, has
caused the leaders atparty to stake their
fortunes with the South in favor of free
trade and other measures calculated to de-
stroy our manufacturers, and therefore OPP
pose the tariff. The committee in Congress
has reported to put ten and coffee and other
articles that cannot be grown here, on the
free list. Of course this will benefit the
laboring class and the poor, and ought to
receive every Democratic vote ifthey were
honest in their professions. But they refuse,
and insist upon keeping n tax on tea and
coffee, which we cannot raise, and are try
ing to reduce the duty on iron and other
articles which VIC manufacture.

THE editor of the Democrat attempts to
underrate the circulation ofthe AMERICAN.
Perhaps the editor is not pleased that the
AMERICAN is more generally read than the
Democrat, even by members of his own
party. We find the Court House Ring"
who refused the AMERICAN several
years ago, among The first TO SICK it after
it is issued, while copies of the Democrat
may be found accommodating for months at
the different post offices, and are never
opened. Our neighbor ought to know
that the AMERICAN circulated pretty freely
during the last campaign, and we can as
sure him that our subscription list has
constantly increased ever since, and if we
are spared for the next campaign, may
prove somewhat warmer for the Democrat
than on any former occasion.

A Foxy TRANsACTIoN.-.We learn that
Que ofthc County Commissioners says, that
fifteen hundred dollars had been paid dur
ing last year for fox and pole-cat scalpS,
and it is said THAT it is not a good county
for foxes and polc-cats either" Daupain
County, we notice by the Auditors Report
only paid Sl3S,50; and Montour county
sl65,30. This looks as though our neigh
bors and .heir friends had been managing
matters so as TO drive nearly all their foxes
aud pole-cats TO this county to be slaugh-
tered. Schuylkill county, it appears also
had bountiful supply. We notice in the
Auditors Report, that $3.50 II were paid,
TO which the Minors Journal objects, and
says:
''Wc learn that the item of Fox scalps,
charged at S950.77 did not actually exceed
5000. If true the taxpayers have beer
scalped considerably by somebody. W.
learn that this item has been largely i'll
creased in the account to cover up money
which must have been fraudulently obtain
cd, otherwise why cover up the items"
Ifthe taxpayers ofschuylkill county hav'
been scalped, we are inclined to think tha
the taxpayers Of this county have not onl!
been scalped, but sk,uked al q considerable
rate.

A TERRIBLE CRIME.
A Negro hey Cruelty Tortured by
Irish Laborcrs-ExtraOr
Rarbarity.

SUsQUEHANNA DEPOT, Penn, Feb, IL.
The proverbial hatred of certain classes
of the Irish to negroes has been illustrated
in this place by most flendish and un-
heard of act. A few days since there came
here from Hawley, Penn, on one of the
Erie freight trains, q negro boy, about thir-
teen years old. BY his quaint and amusing
actions he became quite favoritc among
the railroad men, and they purchased q
boot-blacks outfit for him and started him
in business" He was altogether harm
less. and gave no one. cause Tor enmty
against him, at least such enmity as the
sequel will show existed.
On Saturday night, after the departure
of No. 7expicss train. which was late an
hour. the boy went into one of the railway
company's buildings and went to sleep. lie
was still sleeping wher three Irish laborers
came into the building yesterday morning.
These men had expressed previously, as
had Others of their class, their repugnance
to the boy, because his color and finding
him treslassing on their domain, they at
once determined to vent their hatred upon
him. Taking can of kerosene oil they
saturated the panlaloops ofthe sleeping boy
with its combustible contents, and then
touched a match to it. In an instant the
flames flashed up, and the poor little waif
aWOkc tO nuu himself eHNcIopcu Ill Hre.
Others had entered the building By that
time, but, Notwithstanding the shr.eks and
entreaties of the boy, no move was made
to extinguish the haincs
At last, one Of the bystanders dashed n
pail of water on him, which, however, only
added to their fury, Finally, when it was
seen that the boy was almost exhausted,
one of the three who had set fire to him
threw an ovcrcoaL about his body, and 9TH
ers, attracted by the shreks Of the boy,
rushed in and smothered the blaze. A
messenger was sent by one of the newcom-
ers for physician, and DIR. Tingley soon
arrived. Examination.ofth the boy disclosed
! that his legs were burned to crisp. His
right thigh was burned clear to the bone,
and other parts of his person were sicken-
! ing to contemplate. The doctor at once
gave it as his opinion that his injuries must
! prove fatal, but at this writing the boy is
still alive. but suffering the most intense
agony. The persons guilty of this barbar.
Gus deed had not been arrested at last ac-
counts, but measures are being taken to
that end. The Indignation of the people
knows no bounds. Times.

TIE conviction OF Marcer, Treasurer of
Philadelphia, and Chas. Il. Yerkes, his
broker, for fraudulently causing defalca-
ton in the Treasury of Philadelphia, which
took place some time since, and which was
tied up on motion for q new trial, was f.
naly brought to close on Friday last, by
the court overruling the motion for new
trial, and sentencing the prisoners. Mar
Ger was sentenced to pay fine of $500, 600,
and undergo imprisonment at hard labor
for four years and nine months. Yerkes'
sentence was to pay fine of $500, the cost
of prosecution, and be imprisoned at hard
labor for two years. In passing this judg-
ment, the court said
The misapplication, of public money has
become the great crime of the age. If not
promptly and finally checked twill ulti-
mately destroy our institutions. When q
country becomes honeycombcd by corrup-
ton its vitality is gone it must crumble
upon the first pressure.
In my opinion the public are much to
blame for your offence and others Of SINH
lar character. Heretofore official fraud has
been regarded with too much indifference.
What we need is a higher and purcr politi-
cal morality n state of public opinion
which would make the improper use pub.
lie money thing to be eXecrated. IL was
the lack of this which made your offence
passible.
This dates genuine reform in official
pccuation, and will inaugurate system oI
prudence and honesty in official affairs
which will be benefit TO officials as wei

DEATH OF SENATOR EvANs.-Hon.
Henry S. Evans, Senator from the 5th dis
trict, died at his home in West Chester, on
Friday evening last, from an attack of
pneumonia. He was elected to the Senate
in the fall of 1871. Mr.. Evans WAS also
editor cf the West Chester Village Record,
one Of the most iuhuutial Republican jour-
nails in the State. His death creates va
cancy in the Senate, and, until an election
again leaves the political parties tic in
that body. The Republican Majority in
the 9th district is large, and Republican
will undoubtedly be elected to ill the va
cancy.
