prices, but this was offset by compensat-
ing circumstances. Thus Dave peasants
or jeff Russell was willing to pay 5000
apiece to have the Bulliners killed,
while the Bulliners fixed only $500
ahead on the persons they wanted put
out OF the way. But the Bulliners wan
ted more men than their opponents, and
this about eq lied the compensst or.
1t is another instance Of the economical
principal that low prises increase busln-
ess. The hired murderers would earn
as much at 500 head on zone side as
they could ut $500 head on the other
side.
1t appears that once in q while hu-
mainly would get the better of these UNI
preiucted manslayers, and they would
permit their personal preferences to as
Sert themselves. Thus, according to the
Chicago Tribune Sam Muslck, mel
odious name for gentleman of his pro
fcssion, and who was one OF the TWO
States witnesses who earned their living
in this new branch OF industry, says ne
wanted sto kill Sisney," and.the reason
why he wanted to kill Sisney was because
he thought "Sisney needed killing"
This was certainly an excellent reason,
but it showed some personal fee,lng,
which detracts from the admirable M
perturbalility and Spartan fairness which
generally charactererlzes the Williamson
county murders. There seems also to
have been brief difference of opinion
between Bulliners and one Grain, a
States witness, as to whether NoIn {. or
old Sisney should be killed first; but
thi, WAS not material. They stood not
upon the order of their killing, and it
happened that old Sisney WAS the first to
go. 1t appears, according to. Mus
icks testimony, that Grain compartments
little about the trouble he had IN killing
the old man, because "he had rough
time of it on account of the rain and
mud" 1t may be, however, that Cram
only mentioned this personal inconven-
fence to convince his employer that he
earned the $500, so that the latter would
not refuse payment IN some easier when
there might be no Grain or mud" The
"rain and mud however, did not APP
pear to have much impression on the
assassln's employer, as the latter only
paid him SIS down, and made up the
rest in promises .."Thcre is SIS
for killing DID George he said, "and l
will pay YOU the rest Rwhen bell my
wheat Whether the balance was ever
settled does not appear from the evidence
but il was probably paid if he ever hired
the Same man to do more murder.
II De Quincy had lived to revise his
remarkable essay on murder as Fine
Art, he Nigh, have obtained from this
Illinois vendetta some choice ideas OF
cold-bloodcd conception and artistic exc
cution which would have thrown into
the shade his description of the horrible
London murderer at the beginning OF
tuis century, John Williams, after whom
it is not difficult to imagine, Williamson
county must have bren named.

THE Hon. JOHN JAY has written let
ter to the editor of the " Y. HeraR in
which he predicts lthat the Centennial
exhibition will be a failure unless the
Government assumes entire control OF
the enterprise He thinks that foreign
Governments should be made to under
stand that the Centennial Commission Is
not governmental body, nor is the Cen
tennial in any sense national exhibition,
but that the Government diSavowS all
connection with the affair. lie says that
when the foreign governments discover
that these commissioners have only been
accredited to private corporation, 1t will
result in disgrace to the honor and pres
tigc of the Republic. There is great
deal of truth in what the Hon. John Jay
says, but if the "private corporation ms
he calls the Centennial commission, can
get up a creditabie exhibition, 1t will re-
fleet well upon the energy ard industry
of the people, and the foreign commits

ent delusion. What the Hon. John Jay
is striving for is an appropriation of sew

violation of the act of Congress which
created the Centennial Commission.

From the Syracuse Courier, Oct. II.
The Vanderbilt blood is endowed with
an hereditary penchant for rapid transit
The venerable Commodore never makes
trip over his big road but that he al
mos: takes the temper out OF the steel by
cleaving the air at such late. And as
the "twIg is bent the trees inclined the
sons take after the father The express
trains on the Central are "slow coaches
to the Vanderbilt "wild cats Us the
specials are known in railroad parlance.
This mile minute travel will be the
death OF somebody yet, an affirmation
which finds ample confederation IN the
hair breadth escape which u directors
train had on Thursday last. The Incl
dent-which might have been terrible
catastrophe-Occured at Pittsford, sta
tion near Rochester on the Auburn Road,
where there is q side.swltch from the main
track. The switch-tender, understanding
from the instructions given that special
due at Il certain time was to lay on the
branch, set the switch for that purpose.
The train referred TO was made up oil
locomotive and palace car, the latter con-
tanning William IL. Vanderbilt Super
intendent Burrows, w. Trumbull, >.

this city, conductor. They were going
west at their accustomed extravagant rate
of speed the engineer expecting clear
track. Arriving ut the switch ut Pitts
ford, as II natural consequence, they were
thrown over to the branch, but it was
too late to remedy the mistake or sIacken
the speed. At the other end the branch
track was connected with the main rails,
but the switch was open. The only saw
ing point was that the switch was sup.
piled with patent self-adjustlng arrange
ment calculated to set the switch IN an
emergency, but which are not deemed
reliable. As the train struck the switch
it was lifted to the main track and the
danger escaped. The conclusion elected
all the passengers in the coach from their
chairs. barking shins and smashing de-
canters, dishes, &c, but occasioning no
serious injuries Had the switch been
such as are in common use on the line, or
had the patent frog failed to operate

result would certainly have been most
disastrous. We believe Thursdays cpl

The silence OF the Lamms Fireless En-

public as an acquescence to the remarks
made i'll your article.
1t is true that the Carrollton Railroad
Company has ten dummies running between
Napoleon avenue and CarrOllton. 1t is also
true that these dummies are giving perfect
satisfaction to the Carrollton company aud
TO the travelling public.
The question is asked: why are they
