Joseph McQuade and Michael Kane who
were arrested on Wednesday by Policeman
Brennan on complaint of Mr.. Wanberger,
the guard at the Sylvan Water bridge, for
throwing stones, calling him bad names,
and insulting ladies, were brought up this
morning for trial. From the evidence it
appears that the boys had been in the hab-
it of calling the guard very bad names,
and also insulting ladies. and when re.
proved would laugh and throw stones at
him. City Attorney Gest appeared fol

the defence, and the case was given to the
court without argument by the counsel
But when it was perceived thai
the boys would be fined, Mr.. Sweeney be-
gan to argue the case. Mr.. Gest then in

to leave the case to the court without ar

Gubernatorial.

We understand that there is great
deal of talk among the friends of Hon.
John B. Hawley, of this city,of presenting
his name before the Republican state con-
vention for governor.
The Quincy Herald says Senator Logan
is scheming to get back into the United
States senate through the governors Office
The plan is to obtain his election as COY
ernor, with Hon. Shelby NJ. Cullom as
lieutenant, then step from the gubernato-
rial chair to the senate chamber, as
Oglesby did, and yermit Mr.. Cullom to
become governor after the manner of Mr..
Beverage.
The Cairo Bulletin says there may be
something in the Herald's prediction but,
says the Bulletin, such a scheme could
not be successful. Logan and Cullom
could be defeated before the people, and
will be if they are nominated for governor
and lieutenant governor next year. With
Col. Wm. r. Morrison for governor, and
the Hon. Archibald A. Glenn for lieuten.

Velocity and Duration of lightning.

A large fash of lightning, distinctly

impression that it lasted fully second
or more, bat it is proved that such is not
the fact, Its velocity is at the rate of
2Ss.OO0 miles per second. The utmost
duration ola fash from beginning to end
is estimated not to exceed the sixtieth part
be of second, though retained upon the

first observed by Wheatstone, and is

that the duration of the experiment is ex'

Railroad Accident,

As the western bound freight train Mon
day noon, was passing through the pasture
of L. f. Dimick, about one mile west of
town, it ran over cow killing her instant
ly, and throwing some of the cars from the
track but kept the ties until reaching the
culvert bridge at the bottom of the grade
where they plunged into the slough about
Is feet below. Seven cars were thrown from
the track most OF which were very badly
broken and demoralized. Three were
empty fiat cars, two carloads of coal which
were dumped from the middle of the brid-
ge, and two box cars, one loaded with bar
rel slaves, but the other we do not know
with what it was loaded as it was the least
damaged of all. A brakeman belonging
to the train was considerably cut and
bruised. though not seriously, and aside
from this, we believe no person was hurt
We are informed that couple of book
agents were on the train, who escaped un-
injured, for which the conductor and
railroad company certainly deserve severe
censare and rebuke. The engine pulled
itself loose from the wreck and started
west for assistance, which soon arrived, and
by 10 o'clock Monday night, the bridge
and track was cleared and repaired sufh.
GENTLY to enable trains to pass.
We should think by the time few
more thousand dollars worth of property
has been destroyed, through neglect OF
fencing the track, especially through such
places as this, that the railroad company
would begin to open their eyes and take
some decisive steps toward remedying this
perpetual drain on the profits of the road
They have paid Mr. Dimick alone something
in the neighborhood of $500 for cattle anC
horses killed in his pasture, when $75 OIL
$1O0 would have fenced the whole field
Several of the neighboring farmers have
been paid from $500 to $400 each, and We
should think, taking in the expense of this
wreck, which is estimated at not less thar
$4,000, quite large portion of the road
could have been properly fenced.-Cana
