III addition to tllc legal and equitable grounds
for a thorough investigation into tho nfrairs Of

the Legislature known as the special charter of
tho Danville, Urbana, Bloomington 4 pekin
Railroad Company Is 3 fraud.-no Buch act hay-
Ing passed the Legislature at al, and conso-
quently MI tho subscriptions to capita1 stock,

been illegal and void. A. numhor Of townships
hayo obtained iniunctions prohibiting tic fur

Oh that samo ground TINT the Supreme Court
doclarel tho bonds issuol to tho Ottnwa, Oawe-

gotlef, thero promises to 10 a lively timo along

just possible that II tho people Of the towns

UNPLEASANT RESULT OF QUARREL.
This afternoon at about 9 O'Clock, Will
liam Belham, one Of the under ground
foremen Of the Belcher mine, while
engaged In q controversy with j. c.
Lewis, lately employed In the same
mine. was either thrown or fell or the
grade of the American Flat road to the
railroad track below, a distance Of 80
feet, sustaining In consequence OF the
fall an ugly cash underneath his lett
eye and various bruises upon other
portions Of his body. As soon rs the
affair came to the knowledge Of III
local police officers, Town Marshal
Berry arrested Lewis and lodged him
IN the calaboose. We give both mems
version of the affair. Three days ago
Belham discharged Lewis from the
mine, since which time, Belham states
that Lewis has been lying In wait
for him to do him bodily injury.
Thi. afternoon the two men met on
the road near tho Belcher, and. after
indulging In a war Of words, Belham
saws that Lewis threw him off the
grade. Lewis says that upon meeting
Belham, he asked him for work, and
that the latter replied in an insulting
manner, which %cxasperated Lewis to
such a degree that he struck him
a heavy blow with his fist, causing
him to tumble over the grade without
really intending to bring about such
q result.

CONES, TIE Authoritative learn
that n party of two men and an
officer are in pursuit of Combs,the muir
lerer of Charles Pipps,in the mountains
of Tazewoll. The party came up with
him few days ago, and shot at him,
woundin, him in the leg. He escaped
to the mountains, and the party Is in
hot pursuit of him. From what we
can learn there is but little doubt that
Combs is insane. lie has threatened to
kill Col. Henry Bowen and several 9th
or citizens of Tazcwell, and says he has
n commission from the Almighty to de-
stroy certain men. iie is n perfect des-
porado, and is represented as being re-
ma,kably expert in the use OF firearms;
and,as he swca,s he will never be taken
alive, a severe fight may be expected
when tho officers come UP with him.
When last seen he had six or seven
heavy rcvolvers upon his person, and
declared his intention to leave the State
if he could cvade the officers. 1t Is to
be hopcd that he may be captured and
brought to justice. Marion, ~. 'a)
