UmEa TIE Cars. "A brakeman,
named Scott, found himself placed in
this awkward and exceedingly dangerous
situation, at the yard of the V. & T. R.
Il. last Friday morning. He had I'M
coupled while the train was in motion,
and went to step on the locomotive,
which began 1t that moment to move
rapidly away. He missed his footing
fell upon the track, and to save his life,
he had to stretch himself fiat with the
ground and allow q couple of rumbling
freight coaches to pass over him. His
presence Of mind and promptness Of ac-
ton saved him his life. He did not es
cape uninjuped, however; for his shirt
catching in the undergearing Of the hind
car, he was dragged some distance, re-
ceiving many . rude thump and some
severe but not dangerous bruises.

GEN. M'Co0Y AssAssINATED.

YANKToN, Dakota, Sept 12.-Last
night an alteration occurred between
Gen. E. s. McCook, Secretary of Da-
kota, and P. P. Wintermute, a broker
of this city, in billiard parlor OF the
st. Charles Hotel, in which Wintermute
used insulting language, which was
promptly resented by the General, who
gave Wintermute thras hing. The
General then went to his room. Win
termute, washing blood from his face,
remarked to the bystanders that McCook
could whip him, but that he winter
mute) would shoot him, and immediate
ly went five blocks, got pistol and re-
turned.
A railroad meeting was in session in
the hotel at the time Wintermute enter
ed the assembly. McCook unaware OF
his presence, also entered the room,
when Wintermute raised, and, approach
ing, fired his pistol, the shot taking
effect in the left breast. The General
graphing with his assassin, second
shot was fired, and Wintermute was
thrown to the floor. During the strug-
gle two more shots were fired, one of
which slightly wounded a bystander.
Only one shot took effect, which proved
fatal. The General fingered until seven
o'clock this morning, when he expired.
He was fully conscious to the last, and
died like q brave man. Wintermute is
under arrest.
The city is shrouded in gloom, and
flags are flying at half mast. At one
time it was feared that Wintermute
might be lynched, but cooler counsels
prevailed. The body is dressed in the
uniform of Major General which he
wore during the war. The coffin is
draped with United States flag, and a
large concourse of citizens will escort
the body to the depot, from whence il
will be forwarded by special train to
his friends in the East, accompanied by
Gov. Burbank and other distinguished
gentlemen.

THE NEWARK WIFE MURDER.

The examination of witnesses in the
case of John Weiser, who was accused
of killing his wife in Newark, was con-
tinued yesterday before Police Justice
Mills Frederick Aherns testified that
he had found Weiser carrying his wife
up stairs that she was insensible, and
that her body was black and blue in
many places. Witness had told Weiser
that he believed she was dead, since the
body was apparently stiff and ifeless.
Weiser replied that she was drunk.
Witness was of the opinion that she
was not drunk. Had not seen any
blood upon the deceased. DR.. Henry
A. Karnamann testified that he was
called to see the woman August IS, and
that he believed that she had been
drunk. She was in fever, and showed
symptoms OF apoplexy, and he granted
certificate that she died from that dis
ease. Dorothy Helms testified that she
had seen Weiser beat his wife, and that
he knocked her down the week previous
to her death.

the epidemic.

THE sIGNERs IN RHYME.
BY REV. J. H. DUBBS.

BY REV. J. H. DUBBS.
It will not be denied that the men
who, on the Fourth of July, 1776,
pledged "their lives, their fortunes and
their sacred honor" in behalf of our ma
tional liberty deserve the most profound
reverence from every American citizen.
The writer having frequently expert
enced the advantage of verse as an aid
to the memory, has attempted the task
of metrically arranging the names of
the signers according to the colonies
from which they were delegated, in the
hope that his ryhme will assist the youth
full learner in remembering the name of
these Fathers of American Indepen-
dence
The Massachusetts delegation
That signed our glorious Declaration,
Were Hancock, Gerry, Robert Paine,
The great John Adams, and again
Another Adams, Samuel by name.
New Hampshire, called the "Granite
State"
Sent Whipple, Bartlett, Thornton,
great
Alike in counsel and debate.
Rhode Islands delegates we see.
Were Stephen Hopkins and Ellery.
Connecticut, excelled by none,
Sent Roger Sherman, her noblest son,
With Wolcott, Williams and Hunting
ton.
New York, as delegates employed
r ause M <,,rse AMI XU.ll,o,.~ EI1-J
With Francis Lewis and Livingston,
Who died before the war was done.
New Jersey to the Congress sent
Her honored college president,
John Witherspoon with Stockton,
Clark,
Hart, Hopkinson-all men of mark.
Though Pennsylvania need not blush
For Morris, Morton, Wilson, Rush,
And though most men might seem as
dross,
To Clymer, Taylor, Smith and Ross,
To Franklin, each his tribute brings,
Who neither lightnings feared, MOI
kings.
The men from Delaware-indeed
"oio A.Vuney, Will hackean ana head
My Maryland" is proud to own
Her Carroll, Paca, Chase and Stone.
On old Virginia's roll we see
The gifted Richard Henry Lee;
And Just as earnest to be free,
His brother, Francis Lightfoot Lee
And Wythe and Nelson, patriots true,
With Harrison and Braxton, too;
But, of them all, there was not one
As great as Thomas Jefferson.
North Cardinals chosen men,
We know, were Hooper, Hewes and
Penn.
And South Cardinals vote was won,
By Hayward, Lynch and Middleton,
From Georgia came Gwinnett and Hall,
And Walton, too, the last of all
Who signed our precious Declaration
The pride and glory of the nation.

THE BALLOON BURSTS.
A TOTAL FAILURE-THE CLOTH UNABLE
TO STAND THE PRESSURE.

A TOTAL FAILURE-THE CLOTH UNABbk
TO STAND THE PRESSURE.
Another crowd assembled in and
inflated. Shortly after midnight yes.
terday morning the gas was turned on
by Professor Steiner, the newly EN-.
ployed aerial dispatcher, and up to one
p. m. the work of imitation went on
steadily but slowly. Until then the
air had been perfectly calm, the huge
turnip-shaped bulb resting motionless
on its bed. At that time a breeze arose
from the southwest, causing broad
concavity on the exposed face and al
lowing the netting to hang some dis
lance from the bag proper. The work,
however, went steadily on. The boat
had been furnished with singing bands,
by which it was intended to attach it
to the concentrating ring, the car hay
ing been finally abandoned and thrown
in wreck to one side.
By four p. m. the crowd had sensibly
increased, there being very large pro-
portion of ladies. Professor Wise was
conspicuous by his absence. There
seemed to be very little buoyant power
in the bag, and it was easily held down
by the fringe of boys hanging to the
lower edge of the netting. At four D.
m. the apex had reached height of be-
tween eighty and ninety feet, and the
amount of gas forced in was estimated
at about three hundred and thirty five
thousand cubic feet, when suddenly, at
ten minutes past four, shout from the
outside crowd caused those within to
look up, when rent about four feet
long was seen proceeding from the edge
of the valve-fram From it the gas was
pouring rapidly, allowing the sides of
the balloon to collapse. For second
only did it rest in this condition, when,
with tearing sound, the slight rent ran
in ragged cash over fifty feet long
down one side and extending distance
down the other. In second the whole
mass lay as bundle of rags upon the
grass
Professor Steiner, who was in charge
ct the time, made a statement, and
said 81 don't believe that balloon
of cotton of this size can ever be made
that will stand the strain of imitation.
For the last hour we have been expos
ing surface equal to the mainsail of
the biggest ship, with a weight of twelve
thousand pounds concentrated at the
valve. I don't believe either that silk
balloon could be built of this size and
stand the strain of initiation at all. 1t
might be done by enclosing it in an en-
velope of plain canvas, instead of net
ting. This balloon is as strong as any
can be made of cotton. The whole
thing is of course, to some extent, an
experiment. If the imitation had been
completed and the balloon got free it
would have been perfectly safe, and
would undoubtedly have floated the
party long enough to get to Europe"
A meeting of the Graphic Balloon
Company was held last evening, at
which orders were given for the manu-
facture of silk bag, or globe, the same
to be ready for imitation within three
weeks time, at the expiration of which
time it is proposed to make another
effort to reach the easterly current of
which there has been so much talk of
late. The ascension will be made in
New York.

THE BALLOON BURSTS.

Thousands of people went to the
Capitoline grounds, in Brooklyn, yes
terday, only to come away disappointed
at not seeing the great balloon ascend.
1t appears that the gas was too much
for the muslin. The consequence was
that collapse took place. The man
ayers of the Graphic, however, claim
that the experiment shall be tried
again. A silk balloon is to be construct
ed, and it is expected that it will be
completed in three weeks.
