As the express train on the New
York Central Railroad. due In Roches-
ter at 10 o'clock last evening, was
approaching Batavia, 1t ran into n car
riage, killing both occupants. The
engine struck the launches Of the
horse attached to the carriage, killing
it, and rendering the carriage a COM
plete wreck. The names OF the occu-
pants Of the carriage are James An
derson and Dennis Delano. One OF
them was thrown a number Of yards
into a field. and the other was dragged
along until the train was stopped.
His body was horribly mangled. The
engineer, John Davis, stopped the
train rs soon as possible, and got or OF
the engine to see what injury had been
done. In passing the front Of the
locomotive he saw It was covered with
blood and brains, and be was so over
come by the shock that he walked but
a few steps before he fell. He was
carried into the smoking-car and died
in q few minutes.

wAH1na ALLEGIANCE.

Among thA fiass Pzfsons wAo would
b deemed tolhayj cause for complaint
against the Espdblicaa party are The
colored meny They have through It
received SSesy> fight OF eitizenshlp
which they now enjoy, and have here
tofore manifested their gratitude to
the Organization by strenuous adher-
snoc to md support CT Its nominees.
Notably was this 20 In the last cleo
don, when not even the lifelong
services and prominent anti-slavery
record Of Horace Greeley could move
them to his support. or create any de-
lection In their ranks. But something
Is wrong With the coiored voters Of
Ohio. They areh Disseminated and
complaining. Dispatches. from the
State Convention of colored men held
Chillieothe, Ohio last Friday, Ishow
Z rsbellious spirit utterly antagonistic
to their heretofore strict partisan 10y
atty. John s. Booker. Of Columbus,
who was elected Presidentof the Con-
vention. on taking the chair made a
short speech, In which he said that be
regarded the colored people as politi-
calIy oppressed, and lie was In favor Of
declaring tbslrl POLITICAL rights. He
regarded tho seolored men rs yerysun-
fortunate, as they had been made
voters By = political party which, from
this fact might entertain the idea that
ir had the right TO demand that the
colored men act In It, whether the
principles were right or wrong. He
said the colored people had sold Them
selves to no party, and would be guild
ed BY their own convictions. Follow
ing this speech, aud In the same frame
Of mind, the Committee on Resolutions
presented the following, which were
adopted BY the Convention:
Resolved, That we, the colored vot.
ers OF the State Of Ohio, do protest
against the unjust discrimination to-
ward Us from representatives Of q party
whom we have aided In securing OIL
cial positions.
Resolred, That the colored voters Of
Ohio do not consider themselves under
any obligations to a party which fayors
us in Its acts only In proportion rs 1t is
driven by It's own necessities.
Resolved. That the colored people Of
this State are hereby urged to abstain
from pledging themselves to tho nomi-
nees for local offices.
The Republican party in Ohio can
lily afford to spare the colored vote OF
that State, which has heretofore been
almost unanimously for Its candidates.
Taken In connection with the Grange
movement, and the recent new depart
ure at Columbus, 1t Is significant Of
the existence of i%pfluenccs very de-
moralizing In their effect upon present
party organizations In Ohio. Republi-
can leaders In that State should be on
the lookout for breakers.

TWO WOMEN DscAplTATEu.
Friehtfsl Scene on a German Scatfold
-Piteous Appeals for Mercy.

On the 18th Of July, Ann Priester,
aged thirty-two, and Frederick Rup-
pert, twenty.seven, were beheaded at
Dessau, the German Duchy Of Anhalt.
Both were married, and conspicuous
among the vast crowds that witnessed
their last moments wero their husbands.
Anna Priester and Frederick Rupert
had paid u visit to tho aged widow
CARING, on the 18th of April. The old
lady had showed them a large casket
filed with precious stones, and after
they had left her they determined to
return and appropriate her %valuables.
They found the widow In bed, and
smothered her to death by pressing a
pillow upon her head. They obtained
the precious stones and other %valuables,
but on the next morning they were ar
rested, and soon after convicted OF
murder and sentenced to death. Their
life In prison was an almost unbroken
series OF siokenlng scenes Of fear and
despair. On tho morning Of the day
Of their death, Executioner Pritzier
entered their cell. After tying their
hands to their backs, and connecting
their feet with a short leather strap,
he cut off the .uVQnr part Of their
dresses. exposing their necks. Dur
ing this operation they begged the
headsman piteously to have mercy on
them. The execntioncr tried to COM
fort them, but when he left their cell
their cries Of anguish and distress
could be heard all over the prison.
When they arrived on the scaffold the
executioner's assistant Ind to support
them. The death warrants were read,
and the headsman motioned Anna
Prlester to advance. The wretched
woman threw herself on her knees,
and cried In a piercing tono MERCY !
mercym She had to be dragged up to
the block, where her head was quickly
fastened. The headsman took his Ak
from a leather case. lie tried the edge
OF the blade. and then rapidly stepped
ND to tho left side OF the block. He
looked a moment at the white neck of
the woman. whose body was moving
conyulsively all the time. Then he
lifted the az and struck. The blow had
done its work we'll. for the head of
Anna Pricster rolled down, while her
trunk rose up, a thick stream Of blood
spouting into the air. Meanwhile,
Frederick, upon. witnessing this horrl-
BILE spectacle, had tainted away, and
the doctor had to hold hartshorn under
her nose before she reawoke to CON-
s~ciousness. Sho was already more dead
than alive when her head was fastened
to the block. A second or two after.
ward her head, too, had been" severed
from the trunk.
And then ensued a still moro revolt

tried to gather some Of the blood of

MALY MourH1p.

H. .EN "
Senator Morton OF Indiana, 10 some
what msaly mouthed In his utterances
about the salary grab. At the OPEN
Ing Of the campaign In Ohio lase,Sat-
urday evening, no delivered . splendid
speech. AT the end Of his remarks on
the salary grab, somo one wanted to
know II he had taken his share. SEN
.ator Morton replied that he hadnot
and never intended to. and continued :
- Immediately aiter the passage Of the
'bill I Had an interview with my dis
tinguished colleague, Mr.. Pratt Of In
diana, and we there agreed that we
would not take It believing the prln-
ciple involved In back pay On not
sound one, and I desire expressly to
say, while I entertain that view my
self in regard to the principles OF back
pay, It Is due other members who voted
for and received II, to say they thought
they had a right to it that what they
did was sanctioned BY the preeedents
fthe votes and action Of many Of tho
ablest men who have gone before
them In the nation. It Is . matter up
on which men have q right to differ.
l have simply stated my conviction
while I want to do Justice to the mo
tiyes OF Others" Whilo we r glad
to believe that Senator Morton will
never take his back pay, 1t would be
much more satisfactory II he would
draw and return it to the Treasury, so
that In case Of his death his heirs
could have no claim thereon. As 1t
now stands, he or his heirs can draw It
any time hereafter. Neither are we
satisfied with tho Senator's dictum
that the salary grab Act "isa matter
upon which men congressman have
n right to differ" We are so unchar-
table ~ to believe that no average
man whose judgment and honor have
not been wholly perverted or destroy
ed by precedent corrupt practices, can,
after q moments consideration, think
lie has any moral right to that money.

Many other tricks were exhibited in the

tricks in card:jugelery; but to pass card

Better than passing the card with
such magical tlexterity, which we know is

indeed, was as inconceivablc as anything
