Last week, Thursday, the Democracy
of the House, under the lead Of Sam
Randall, Of Penn, concoctcd and
carried through under the gag rule,
a most infamous measure. To the
judiciary appropriation bin reported
to the House was tackled on, unjustly
and illegally, q section which repeats
all laws in regard to the registration
of voters and the appointment of
supervisors Of elections and marshals
and other officers to enforce the OBJ
servancc of election laws. This was
we'll understood by its Democratic
authors to be most fragrant outrage,
and when the Republicans sought to
amend it and to debate the question,
Randall moved that. debate close in
half minute, and the gag was
passed by the Democracy against a
solid Republican vote. This IS to
clear the way for Democratic repeat
ers In New York City, and Ku klux
,nurderers in the South. twill be
recollected that one time last winter,
during the Investigations, the Demoe-t

A N Ournful Accident.

On Tuesday morning, Mrs. Pcnulia
Jones, a young widow lady who for
more than year past has worked in
Neitch's wooden factory, met with an
awful accident which that Providence
whose ways are "mysterious and past
finding out" sometimes allots to NOR
tai creatures. She was at work ut the
spoolcr, where the possibility of an
accident can scarcely be imagined.
The foreman, and other employees,
together with the proprietor, had pas
sed into other rooms, leaving Mrs.
Jones and young lady together, the
latter, at work at a loom. In a mo-
ment there was shrek. The cry
was heard and the engineer shut off
steam promptly, while Veitch, with
a daring which amounts to reckless
ness, jumped upon the spokcs of the
engines fly wheel to stop its momen-
tum. Meanwhile one Of the employ
ees had reached the. unfortunate wo-
man. The band was quickly thrown
from the pulley driving the main
shaft, and prompt assistance render
ed, She was found drawn up to the
ceiling, and her hand through a loop
in the swinging band which when
adjusted operates the spoolcr, but
which at the time was tied up and
out of ordinary reach.s Her shoulder
rested against joist and her left
arm ana clothing were twisted around
the shaft. The arm was almost liter
ally torn off between the wrist and
elbow, and also broken midway be-
tween the elbow and, shoulder. Her
husband lost his life in a well on the
farm of John @. Howard near two
years ago. The amputation was
made below the elbow, and the sur
geons hope to save the, remaining
portion Of the arm, although the case
is critical. = $50

The Baptists Of the United States
have certainly no reason to be ashamed
of what has been accomplished by
their denomination during the last
one hundred years. At the beginning
OF the century now just ended, there
were about $4,000 members Of that
church in the thirteen colonies now
there are about two millions, making
the denomination next to the largest
in the United States. 1t outnumbers
the Congregational and Episcopal de-
nominations twofold. There are g.
OOO, 600 members and attendants of the
