WASHINGTON, ~. u, Sept To, 1913.
Editor Baltimore 4merican
Sr-In your paper of this morning find the
following paragraph:
The Warrenton Index, published at Mosby' s
home makes the suboned statement, no doubt
at the instance of the Colonel, corroborative
of the above:
''The understanding ofthe Ale1andria Gazette
is substantially correct. The letters referred to
were written. In confirmation of the presump-
ton that they were satisfactory to the parties
addressed, we state that when Radical d. lega-
ton, headed by Plutt, waited on Postmaster
General Cre;well this week and demanded the
removal Of the sppointees made through tho in
1uence of Mosby, Creswell refused to comply
| wish to say that, so far as am concerned,
there is not word of truth in the statement
| never waited upon the Postmaster General,
or anybody else, to ask the removal of any of
Mosby's appointees in Virginia; nor do [ be-
eve that any attempt to have them removed
has been made by any Virginia Republican;
neither do doubt that should such an attempt
be made it would be successful for know that
the success of the ticket headed by Colonel r.
W. Hughes is as ardently desired by President
Grant, and everyone connected with bis admin
istralion, as by Your obedient servant

The Nation, one of the ablest Republican
papers in the North, exprec:e les surprise that
Massachusetts should be so very indignant at
Federal interference in their State election, and
says:
There is nothing novel or unforeseen about
this. The President and his advisers are only
doing in Massachusetts what they have long
been doing 10 other States with the CONVEYANCE
or approval Of Massachusetts, The medd!lng
10 support of Butler is perfectly natural Sc
qucnce of the support Of Casey and Packard
Butler is in some respects doubtless, a more
Objectionable man than Casey, but he is also
more useful, and we do not see in principle any
difference between the control of Louisiana by
Long Branch and Washington politicians and
that of Massachusetts,
And the same paper reminds Massachusetts
that she has no right to expect exemption from
the common lot, under radical rule, remarking !:
The fact is that our Massachusetts brethren
must give up regarding themselves as peculiar
people who can afford to make light of their
neighbors' calamity, and must learn the great
lesson that what they wink at in other parts OF
the country mag any day have to be encounter
ed within their OWE borders.
Chickens will come home to roost."

SCALED ALIvE.-While Amelia Grinucl, a
young girl, was working last week in a single
mill 10 Oshkosh, Wis, under a shaft which was
going at the rate of two hundred revolutions per
minute, her hair, which was very long, caught
in the knucke-jont, and 10 an instant it was
torn entirely from her head, taking with it all
the flesh and muscles on her head. From a
Iine,' says the local paper, drawn around
from each eve row. her skull was left white aud
BARE without trace Of blood or flesh. The
strangest par. of the accident is that she felt
little or no pain, declaring that when it was be-
ing torn off all that she realized was tickling
sensation in her head. She cooy walked from
the room and waited patiently for buggy to
take her home. Her only regret was the fright
it would give her mother. The scalp with its
beautiful long locks OF hair, was cured and en-
twined around the shaft at the joint and when
the mill was stopped it was taken down, but no
one had sufficient presence of mind to place it
upon her head 1t is nearly perfect, and the
doctors have determined to tan it with the hair
on, SO that if the girl RECEIVERS it may be used
as wig The case is one of the most remark
able on record. .,

BURNING Corn IN THE WEsT.-A cores
pondent of the New York Tribune, writiog
from Iowa, gives the following as the answer
of prominent and well-intormed gentleman Of
that State to the question, I'VE hear great
deal said in the East about the farmers in Iowa
burning their corn. Has this been done to any
great eXtert?'
II suppose considerable corn was burned last
winter in sections of the State where fue!l is
not plenty, or where coal had to be hauled a
considerable distance either from the mine or
ON the railroad A ton of corn is worth for
fuel about two-thirds or three-fourths as much
ss ton Of 'al Now, if it takes ton Of corn
10 buy ton of coal, the only question for the
farmer to settle is whether the coal is worth
enough more than the corn to pay tor the haul
iug Suppose farmer lives five miles from a
railroad station where coal is worth Sc ton,
and corn will sell for the same price. Assum
ing two dollars day as fair wages for the man
and his team, the corn would be worth on the
farm FIVE dollars ton, and to get the coal
there would cost seven dollars. But if the coal
is worth only one-third more than the corn for
fuel, then, if it costs more than $6.66S a ton
on the farm, it is cheaper to burn the corn

One of the saddest affairs that we have heard

A party had congregated at small store where
liquor was kept for sale, and finally two men
numed E. j. Walker and Frank }. Malpsss got
into dispute. Words ran high, and at last the
proprietor of the store ordered the men out
They then repaired to the street. where the diff
icuity WAS renewed, resulting finally in coils
ion between the parties, during which Malpass
struck his antagonist, Walker, severe blow on
the side Of the neck. Walker Immediately fell
10 the pavement. Malpass sprang upon his pos
trate opponent and had Inflicted two or three
blows upon him, when his suspci ons seemed to
be aroused that something was the matter, and
he dcssted.
During this time Walker had shown no signs
of resistance, and upon close examination on the
part of Malpass and the surrounding spectators,
they were horrow-stricken to find that Walker
was corpse No DOUBT is entertained, we learn,
that death was caused by the blow inflicted on
the neck, rs deceased was not seen to II o!e after
he foil to the ground. It is supposed that the
blow, which, inflicted on most any other oart of
the body would scarcely have been notceL, must
have touched some tender, vital part OF the neck,
by which it was dislocatcd.
As soon as Nal pass became aware of the terri
bic result, he was overcome with grief and re-
morse declaring that he had no intention of kill
ing Walker or causing him serious injury.
Malpsss made no effort to escape, but quietly
surrendered himself.
