Rum AGAIN ANOTHER SAD CASE
The mail carrier who runs between III
conderoga village and the cars, while on
his way TO the train, Tuesday morning,
discovered the o ly of man lying in
the ditch by the roadside, near the old
fort grounds, dead 1t was storming
hard at the time, and the body had dam
med the stream made by the storm until
it was entirely submerged, only the head,
which rested on higher ground, being
visible. Upon examination, it proved to
be the body Of Thomas Bradley, an en-
ploye of the New York and Canada rail
road, who has the reputation of being a
hard-working man and only indulgingin
an occasional spree but, it is thought,
that it is owing TO ne of these that lie
lost his life The deceased leaves a wife
and two small children, who are prob
ably destitute, and adds another to that
| long list whose epitaph is "Killed by
| poor rum" And how much better than
murderer is he who dealt out the viii
famous compound which sent the poor
victim, all unprepared, into the presence
/ of his Maker, and added three more tu
the widows and orphans Of our land.

A Sample OF tho Indignation OF Oakea
Ames.
The Washington correspondents generally
represent that Oakes Ames expressed great In.
dignation against Mr.. .Twllchell, of Massachu'
selts, when that gentleman was, on Friday
last, advocating the bill, in the House, granting
the right of way to the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad, he being the president OF
that road and thereby party in Interest. The
bill, it will be recollected, failed, but Mr..
Ames was expressing his opinion 30 loudly
that he was warned that 1t attracted attention.
One writer represents his pointed remarks as
follows:
"Attract attention." said Mr.. Ames, "while
the president Ur that railroad, VINO goes 10
depsrtmpnt clerks to know whether his road
should be built over or under mountain

"Then you do not fear the action OF the

Ames said he didn't want to be profane, but
II he was going to be expelled because the
people demanded victim, they might give

him.

Storm who can tell. An must be struck
farehly 10y the fact that, although many do
bot believe Mcclure has sold dcllarS worth
OF his interest IN the Republican new spapcr,
yet he is remarkably silent. i,o and Bowen
are NO doubt concocting some scheme to biinX
about another conflict that viii breed conin-

tion. While they quietly blum on a pair of
Kings, they no doubt let their minds wander
away to the fields political far ahead, upon
which they hope to gather laurels in the shape
OF Levce or Railroad Bonds. Whatever their
schemes for the future may bc. onc thing Is
certain, they can easily be yauquishcd. There
Is but one way however to do ibis, and that
is for Gov. Baxter to give US n fair and honest
