was awarded to Miss McGaffe of the Normal, 1t
being the choice between Webster's and Worces-

ing fell to the lot of Miss Montgomery, teacher
at the Willows. The correspondent of the Port
land Advertiser says that the first person to take
his seat was one of the scholars at Little Blue
school, who, although gifted with good share OF
confidence, found the word "ferce' to be contra
~ to his nature. Another member of the Normal
school COMPOUNDED "greatness" with grateful"
and so spelled the latter word "greatful" The
first word that seemed to make an indiscriminate
slaughter among the contestants was "recogniz-
ance," from the fact that the pedagogue of the
evening pronounced it "reconnisance." The spell
ers supposing that the word intended was "recon-
noisance" endeavored to spell the latter. "Apoca-

A FIa.man Killed Mt Bowie Junction.

James Dougherty. aged thirty-three years
was almost instantly killed at Bowie Junction
seventeen miles from Washington, on the Bal
timore and Potomac Railroad, on Saturday
morning. Mr.. Dougherty was employed as
hagman on a freight train which reached the
junction between and O'Clock on Saturday
morning. The train had been stopped to allow
some of the workmen to get off, and was in the
act of starting, when Dougherty, who was on
| the engine saw that a switch ahead. that should
have been opened, was closed. Thinking 1t
| unnecessary to call upon the engineer TO stop
the train he lowered himself by his hands to
| within few inches of the track and leaped to
the ground, intending to run ahead, AS the
| train was running slowly, and open the switch
Unfortunately, however, as his feet touched
the track he slipped on the ice, with which it
was covered. and was thrown backward beneath
the cars. He made every effort to escape from
his terrible position, but before he could sue
coed, one of the ponderous wheels passed over
his head, crushing the skull and causing almost
instant death. The mangled remains were
placed on train aud brought TO the late resi-
dence of the deceased in this city at 92l West
Baltimore street, near Gilmor. He had been
for some time in the employ of the company,
and was regarded as trustworthy employee.
The deceased was married and leaves wife
but no children.-Bah. Gazette.
The Marlboro Gazette states that Coroner S
inquest was held al Bowie on Saturday, and
gave the following verdict:
THAT said Dougherty, while acting as flag
man on the gravel train, under the employ of
the B. L p. R. r.. came to his death by falling
from the car of said company owing to the fact
that the switch of said company was left open
by the neglect of the conductor of the freight
train, and do find the conductor responsible,
the name of said conductor being Martin Pow

Another outrage upon the colored people Of
Mississippi. A negro has been seized and de-
right to vote, merely because he had attempted
to wreck E. railway train by placing obstruc-
tons on the track. The railway company
should at once be proclaimed banditt. Has it
come to this, that peaceable and orderly col
ored citizen cannot place few trifing obstruc-
tons upon railway track without mourning
persecution and violence? This is the result
Of permitting white Mississippians TO form trea-
sonable organizations under the transparent
guise OF railway companies.
