Many hereabouts will regret to learn of
the following accident On tho evening
of the 21st ult., as the Selden Irwin troupe
were about to commence their perform
ance at Mscomb. ILL.,. one of the footlight
lamps exploded, scattering the contents
over the stage and scenery and communi-
eating to the other footlights, which one
after another exploded. A terrible scene
was then enacted by the audience and
members Of IKE troupe. Mrs Irwin, Miss
Clara Baker and Maria Louise jumped
from third story windows OF the building,
fortunately falling on the window awnings
that were over the stores underneath. Ma
ria Louise had her ankle broken, Miss
Baker received a severe though not dam
gerous shock, and Mrs Irwin, We are
pleased to learn, escaped unhurt. The
scene in the body ofthe hall, amongst the
audience, Is said to have been appalling,
but fortunately there were but few acct
dents. Through the efforts of the male
members ofthe company and citizens, the
flames were finally suppressed.

Next I'm Order-The West Virginia
Election.

The North Carolina skirmish being
ended, next in order is the election in
West Virginia on the 22d OF this
month. On that day the State will de-
termine the question Of adopting the
new Constitution, which is advocated
by the Democratic party and opposed
BY the Republicans, under the lead OF
Governor John J. Jacob, who has hith.
erto been classed with the Democrats,
but being defeated for denomination in
the State Convention, has been taken
up by the Republicans, and is running
against J. n. Camden, the Democratic
nominee. The State tickets to be voted
for also on the same day, and three
members of Congress. In 1871 the State
gave a Democratic majority OF 1857.
Should the coming election sustain the
new Constitution, which is claimed TO
be very liberal in its provisions, there
will be little doubt of the election OF the
five Democratic Presidential electors 10
be chosen in November. In case the
new Constitution is defeated there will
be an election OF State officers in Octo-
Der. An active canvass is progressing,
both parties laboring zealously for the
advantage in this preliminary struggle,
which will pretty clearly indicate the
complexion of the State in the general
Presidential engagement. Each party
appears confident OF victory; but both
are 80 thoroughly divided on the ques-
tions involved in the proposed consttu-
tional changes that the result is ex-
tremely doubtful.-Nev York Herald

There is one fact that the GREELEY
Republicans should appreciate in all its
force, for it is the keynote Of the cam
paign, and upon adbering to it every
thing depends; We allude to the cordial
and the united support Of the State and
county tickets that are in favor Of his
election. The vote on those tickets is
taken first, and by it our strength will
be gauged. If they are beaten, it will
be asserted that Mr.. GREELEY will like.
wise be defeated, and the apparent
showing will be such that its moral eff
feet upon the luke-warm and timid will
be decisive against us. A party beaten
at the first election of q Presidential
campaign loses heart and confidence in
itself, and never rallies or recovers from
it. This is attested by the unvarying ex-
perience of the past. The success Of
Mr. GREELEY Is largely involved in the
choice OF JOHNSON n. CAMDEN as Gov
ernor OF West Virginia, Of THOMAS A..
HESDRlCKs as Governor o: Indiana, OF
CHARLES A. BCCKALEw for Governor OF
PENNSYLVANIA, and Of the State ticket
headed With the name General WILEY
in Ohio. We consider votes for them
in October actually Of more importance
than votes for GREELEY and BRowN in
November. If these State tickets are
elected nobody need have fears about the
November contest If any GREELEY
man labors under the impression that
he can vote a GRANT State and Con-
gressional ticket in October, and after
ward be of the slightest use for GREELEY
in November. he is greatly mistaken.
The injury done all over the United
States by the first vote caunot be re-
paired by the second. But are there
any of Mr.. GREELEY's supporters who,
having made up their minds 10 vote
against Grant, would be inconsistent
enough to vote to strengthen GRANT by
uphoIding the hands OF his friends and
partisans at a previous electionY We
must combine Democrats and Liberals
upon common State and Congressional
or local tickets, and work for them with
the same energy and enthusiasm that
we do for GREELEY and BRowS. To
effect that object the better, the tickets
everywhere should be divided between
the respective wings of the GREELEY
organization.

LONG BRANCH.


| LONG BRANCH, August 9.-This is the
fifth and last day Of the August meet
ing OF the Monmouth Park Associa-
ton and the crowd gathered 10 witness
the races is very great, fully 5000 peo-
pie being on the course, in the club
house and on the ladies stand, both of
the latter being filled to repletion with
fair ladies in elegant toilettes. The
track is in splendid condition for racing
and the weather delightful. There are
three events for the day. The first is q
steeple chase handicap, for all ages, for
a purse of $1,000, distance about three
miles, over q fair hunting course. The
second ia a dash OF four miles, for .
purse Of $500, and the third is con.

beaten horses of all ages, distance one
and q half miles.
In the first race there were five en-
tries, Blind Tom. Duffy, Vesuvius,
Astronomer and Impecunious. The
horses got off together, all OF them
easily jumping the water ditch on the
first mile except Blind Tom, who re-
fused to 60 over. Impecunious had the
lead, with Duffy second. but in jumping
the water ditch on the second mile
Duffy led Impecunious by six lengths.
The race on the home stretch was the
most exciting that has ever been run on
the race track, Duffy and Vesuvius
running neck-and.neck, Duffy winning
the race by half a neck. Time, 7:55.
For the four mile dash there were
four entries. Great interest was mani
tested in this race, and the pool selling
was very spirited. The following were
the entries: Milesian, Kingfsher,
Susan Ann and Littleton. In the
pools sold before the start Kingfsher
brought $3.50, Susan Ann $3.50, Litleton
$3.50 and Milesian 1920. At the tap
OF the drum the horses went off TO-.
gether. Passing the first mile Susan
Ann was leading Littleton by one
length, with Milesian six lengths in
advance of Kingfsher. In the second
mile Susan Ann passed under the wire
six lengths in advance Of Milesian, who
WAS two lengths ahead Of Littletou,
with Kingfsher ten lengths, behind. On
the first half of the third mile, King
fisher broke down. At the end OF the
third mile Susan Ann was leading
Milesian by two lengths, with Littleton
two lengths behind. In the last half
the horses were neck and neck, making
very pretty race down the back
stretch. On the last quarter of a mile
Susan Ann went to the 'front.' winning
the race by half a length, Littleton
second, one length in advance OF Mile
sian. Time, 7:40!
In the third race, for the consolation
handicap, there were eight entries, as
follows: Broughsms Gerald, Jen-
ning's Gayo, Brougham's Sorrel Dan,
Chamberins Brennis, Taylors Henri
eta and King Henry, McGrath's Jury
and Coffin, and Lswrences Lochiel. In
the pools Lochiel sold as the favorite.
The start WAS made at the half pole.
In passing the judges stand Henrietta
was half a length ahead of Jury.
King Henry won the race, coming in
half length ahead Of Gayo, who was
length ahead of Lochiel. Time, DAB
