Dear Sir--Though stranger, ] want to ia

Last Christmas Serofula made its appearance

one on my head, which eat into the skull bone
one on my left leg which became SO bad that
two physicians came 10 anputate tho limb,
though upon consultation concluded not to do
SO, as my whole body was so full Of Scrofula;
they deemed IL advisable to cut the sore, which
was painful beyond description, and there was
quart OF matter run from this ono sore.
The physicians all gave me up to die, and
said they could do no more for me. Both of my
legs were drawn up TO my seat, and 1t was

A Singular Accident.

The saw mills in Clinton arc in
hard luck. But recently the largest
of Lamb Il Sons mills was destroyed
by fire and now an accident has bcfal-
len one of Young Il Co.'S mills SO that
work will have to be suspended for
the winter.
The Herald gives the following
particulars Of the accident:
The great difficulty experienced in
getting up a draft under the boilers
of w. j. Young& Co.'S. upper saw mill
this morning convinced the workmen
that something was the matter with
the smoke stack inside. Accordingly
about half past eight o'clock, steam
was shut offand operations suspend
ed in the mill. Shortly before noon,
when the brick work had become suf-
ficiently cool, Mcssrs. VIM. Taylor
and George Chalker, engineer and
fireman at the mill cssayed to discov-
er what the matter was. Mr.. Chalker
crawled through the imam hole" out
side into the brick passage connect
ing the boilers with the chimney and
ascertained that a portion of the in
side wall Of the chimney had fallen,
completely blocking up the fiue,
which was the cause of the stoppage
of the draught. He called for a Ian
tern, which was handed him by Mr..
TAYLOR and just as the latter stepped
back he heard a rumbling noise and
looking up was Mortified to see the
great chimney crumbling above his
head. He leapcd out of the way and
barely reached safe distance when
the chimney literally "squashed" tc
the ground, with loud crash, max
ing a pile of broken brick ten fee
high where but few moments be
fore stood the tall, graceful stack
The top of the stack, as the structure
fell, toppled over to the south ives
and crashed through the roof of tn
old dry kiln near by, almost demol
ishing that building.
But Chalker, where was he? Tn
fireman, whose head was outsid
when the chimney began to crumbl'
| withdrew his body quickly and
most miraculous escape from death
He was partially protected by tn
draft passage, and fortunately tn
i. bulk Of the stack fell hey ond him, br
} as ii was he was buried beneath
: pile of bricks from which he had
J, be extricated by his fellow workmel
He escaped without scratch, a
though considerably shaken an
somewhat scared by the accident.
/ This of course stops work at thu
mill for the remainder of this season
: and forces the second one of Clinton
mills to shut down suddenly and Trt
maturely this year. The stack We
l6l feet high 1AA it will probabl
cost over 5000 to replace it.

FIRE IN CHICAGO
Four Persons Perish ln:tho Flames.

CHICAGO, Nov. 27.-Early this
morning fire destroyed a number
of frame saloons and eating houses on
West Madison street, near the canal.
Loss about $4,000. Insurance small.
1t was not known until late this
morning that four persons had per-
ished in the flames. These were oc-
cupants of No. %, an all night res
taurant, owned by Henry Cockcrcll.
Their names are Emma Burt, Agnes
Healy, George Bode and James Allen.
Their charred corpses were taken
from the ruins to-day. All four had
evidently been overcome by the
flames while attempting to escape
through a long hall, the stairs lead
ing to which had been burned. Al
len was tailor, and came from Bos-
ton two weeks since, where he leaves
wife and children. But for the he
roic conduct Of Capt. Bullwinkle, of
the fire patrol, many other victims
would have been added to the list

col. BOB lNcERSolL ON the
poWERs0E COURTS OVER
ELECTION BOARD.


The real question is this: Can a
President be elected by Injunction?
The democrats seem to think that
the election can be settled in their
favor by the granting of injunctions
by the courts.
The political power of the country
is not under the control, care or keep
ing Of the courts. The courts can by
mandamus compel all persons upon
whom dcvolvc any political duties to
perform them; but they cannot enjoin
them from acting. If they act wrong,
the election can be contested; if they
refuse to act, they can be made to act.
The courts cannot prevent persons
from voting, nor the officers from
counting and certifying the votes
cast.
The question has been decided by
the Supreme Court of this State, in
the cases Of People rs. the CITY Of
Galesb,ay-4S ILL.,, ass; Watson as.
Deciding ILL.,, 2O2; also in Reed rs.
Dickey, not yet reported.
The practice of granting inilrnc-
tons in election cases would be highly
calculated to obstruct the various
branches of government in the adj
ministration of public affairs. Courts
of equity can have no such powers,
otherwise any and all elections might
be prevented.
Such is the language ofthc Supreme
Court of Illinois. The reasons are
obvious. The right to vote is, SO to
speak, a sovereign right. This right
is the basis of al power in the Gov
eminent. Upon this foundation rests
the executive, the legislative and the
judicial departments of the Govern.
ment. The right to vote includes the
right to have the vote properly count.
cd and canvassed. AS no court car
enjoin the voter from voting, SO nc
court can by injunction prevent thu
vote from being counted and canvass
ed. The voter is the source Of polit
ical power. The voter cannot, under
any circumstances, be cnjoincd from
voting. The right to vote includes
the right to have the result of tn,
vote declared. With this no cour
can interfere by injunction.
i AS regards another feature of thu
pending elcction-rcturns controversy
Colonel Ingcrsoll says:
II With regard to those cases in which
the names of the Electors were mis-
spelled and perhaps omitted, the onl.
question is, Who did the voter intent
to vote for? If there was enough OF
the ballot cast to determine certainl!
the intention of the voter, effect shoe
be given to his intention.

Frightful Accident.

On yesterday morning, between s
and Q O'Clock, frightful accident oc-
CURED at the new Reform School
building west of town, resulting in
the death of Samuel Sampson, u car
pentcr, who has been employed upon
the building for some time past. The
facts as far as we can learn, arc as
follows: On yesterday morning Mr..
Sampson was set to work on the roof
of the building, near the southwest
corner, about one hundred feet from
the ground. Mr.. Ziegler, the boss
carpenter, was on the roof with him.
A little after 8 O'Clock, Mr.. Bartlett,
the architect, came upon the ground,
and noticing the two men on the roof
he ordered them inside TO work. The
wind at the time was blowing gale,
and, together with little snow that
had fallen during the night, made the
roof unusually dangerous, all of
which the eye of the experienced
architect took in at q glance, hence
the order for the men TO go inside.
Zicglcr replied that there was no
danger in the position and they would
look out for themselves. Mr.. Bart
left proceeded. to his Office and had
just pulled Off his oyercoat when a
workman rushed in ard stated that a
man was killed. In few moments
after Mr.. Bartlett had left, a sudden
gust of wind came around the COR
ner where Sampson was, causing him
to lose his balance, and in trying to
save himself, he slipped on the snow
and fell headlong to the ground,
crushing in his skull and killing him
almost instantly. His comrades soon
gathered around and his remains
were picked up, placed on a stretcher,
and carried into the building. Samp-
son was great tayoritc with the
workmcn. being Of a jolly turn OF
mind and always full Of fun, and
when it was found that he was dead
many stout man shed tears. Sam
ucl Sampson is resident OF Ottum-
wa, where he has brother residing.
He is twenty-five years of age and
unmarried. He has. worked on the
new building ever since its COM
mencement, and was considered a
good workman. His remains were
sent to Ottumwa.--Eldora Ledger.
