A Terrible Crime.

man named August Gardner was recently
tied to railroad track near Henryville, In
diana, and was subsequently run over by an
express train and fatally injured. The follow
ing is the story of the outrage as told by the
unfortunate victim few minutes before his
death:
'My name is August Gardner. was born
in France and have been from that country
but short time. | have no relations or
friends in this country. | was going down to
Louisville in search of employment, and as
had but little money ! thought | would walk.
Ii could not have been much past 10 O'Clock
last night when three men came to me while
was walking along the track. One of them
demanded my money. told him that was
poor, having only few dollars. This did not
do me any good, for they seized me, two hold
ing me and the other one searching my pockets
and taking my pocket-bo and everything
else had. They then threw me down on the
track. thought they were going to kill me,
and ! begged them to spare my life. They
said nothing, but one of them produced a
long piece of rope from his pocket, and they
commenced to tie me to the track, over cattle
guard. ! was badly frightened, and begged
them hard not to do that. told them that
never knew them, and had never done them
any harm, and if they would let me go would
say nothing of what had occurred. While
was talking and pleading with them they still
kept on tying me to the track over the cat
tie guard. They tied me lengthways to rail.
The rope was fastened around my body, legs,
and arms. When they got through | could
not move my arms aud legs. While was
begging them not to leave me there they went
of. knew that the cars would be along soon,
and tried my utmost to free myself and un-
loosen the ropes that bound me. A first did
not think would be able to move at all, but,
after repeated efforts, succeeded in working
my arms and body off the track. In swinging
down, tried to get my left leg off, but could
not. yelled with all my might, hoping that
somebody would come and save me. but no
one came. 1t was raining hard at the time,
aud very dark. ! had been lyi1g there about
a half an hour when heard the engine whis-
tie. ] cannot tell you my feeling. A per-
ceptible shudder here passed through the dying
man In few seconds the cars were nearly
up to where was lying. gave wild shrek
and closed my eyes The cars passed over
me, the wheels cutting off my legs, and cut
ting the ropes loose that bound me. | suffered
intense pain, and crawled and dragged myself
a few feet from the track. | tainted away,
and when came to was very thirsty. 1t was
still raining, and dug hole in the ground
by my face with my fingers, so that il would
fill with water BY doing this managed to
get little wafer was so weak that could
not move. and halIooed frequently during
the night for help, but no one came until
morning, when was found.''

TIE FAIR The Twenty-frs Annual Exhi-
bition fthe Montgomery County Agricultural
Society commenced a, the Fair Grounds,
Rockville, on "Wednesday last. The crowd of
visitors on the first day was small; but the
number Of Articles on exhibition, we think,
will surpass that of any previous year. The
Annual Address was delivered at 2 o clock,
by Hon A. R. Boteler, of Virginia and was one
Of the finest efforts we have ever had the
pleasure of listening TO. The display of Fruits
Vegetables, Flowers, &c, was excellent that
of Agricultural Implements was very good
while the Live Stock department was over
crowded and contained many very fine ami
mails
At o clock the trotting race for the coun-
~ premium came off, and the ring at that
hour was the great centre ofattraction. There
were four entries for that premium, but after
the first two heats two were Withdrawn and
the contest was continued by the horse Exile,
owned by Mr.. VIM. Penn, and the mare Fam
ME. owned and driven by Mr.. Henry Bradley
The race was won by Mr.. Penns horse after
avery close and exciting contest. Time 2:56.
2:53, 2:55. Mr.. Penn was offered 81, 600 for
bis horse before he left the track.

The list Of entries for the Bowie Stakes, four
mile heats, to be run at the Pimlico meeting
in October, indicates that il will be the most
notable event Of the turf season. OF the elev-
en- horses entered all have fine records, but The
especial feature will probably be the contest
between Tom Bowling and Felowcraft, the
first horse that has only been beaten once,
and the second having the very fastest four
mile record. Governor Bowie enters his Pr
colo whose mile and an eighth in l:56 has
never been excelled, and Ltlleion and Freak
ness may show we'll up in the front.

VERY SicK.-From casual glance at the
motley crowd which assembled in convention
here on Saturday last, to send delegates TO
Radical Convention TO nominatea candidate
for Congress, we were naturally impressed
with the idea that the party in this section of
the State was in very feeble and dangerous
condition Weundcrsiand there was consid-
cradle difference Of opinion expressed by the
members Of the convention as 10 the course of
Mr., Lowndes in voting against the civil rights
bill, and many denounced him and his sup
porters, as not being good Republicans. A
pretty good idea of the condition Of the party
may be formed by reading the following arti-
Gle from the Baltimore american the leading
Republican paper Of this State;
1--WE are in receipt of large number of com
municatons urging reorganization OF the
Republican party of the State, the choice of a
new State Central Committee, complaining of
the interference and control of everything per-
tanning to the party organization by ollicehold-
ers, and accusing some of them OF selecting
Democrats for their subordinates ia preference
to Republicans. To all such correspondents
we would respectfully state that we fought
this fight two years ago for the preservation
of the Republican organization, predicting at
The time all the disasters and disruption which
have since followed. The whole power OF
Administration was exerted in favor of the
disorganizers, and we, and those who labored
with us, were insulted aud refused hearing.
We retired from the field disguised, aud re-
solved to have nothing more to do with party
affairs If the present management of Mary
land politics is satisfactory TO those who have
the interests of the party in charge at Wash
ington, we see nothing that can be gained by
the publication of these complaints. We, and
all those who worked with us in building up
the republican party in Maryland, have no
more influence at Washington than the pro-
cession of newsboys and bootblacks who
marched up Baltimore street few days since.
Hence wewould recommend those who are
seeking relief 10 send their communications TO
the Congressional Republican Committee at
Washington, who will doubtless give them
hearing -Baltimt re american.
