accident on the Peach Bottom RdiiTOdt

The passenger train on the Peach Bottom
railroad, which left Oxford last Monday
morning, met with serious accident when
nearing Spruce Grow station, by the front
trucks, of a box car jumping the track
and throwing the train, excepting the loco
motive, down an embankment. There were
fifteen passengers on the train, all of whom
escaped with but slight injuries. The track
being clear, the passengers were carried on
their journey in a gondola car. This acci-
dent crpples the carrying capacity of the
road considerably as it has but few cars
but several new passenger coaches are being
made for the road by the Jackson & Sharp's
car shops, which a'e being hastened in con

THE BLACK HILLS.
Worthless Diggings and Hostile
Indians

Among the passengers on last even
ing's emigrant train. were several old
Nevadans returning from the Black
Hills. One of them, Nick Bernard,
formerly of Winnemucca. informed US
that he was direct from Gustav City,
where he spent some time, but during
his stay there never saw more than FIVE
or six hundred dollars worth Of gold
dust. The color can be found almost
anywheres in the vicinage of Custar
City, but no paying diggings had been
found up to the time he left. lie said
that when he left Custar, It was re-
ported that rich diggings had been dis
covered North, but Sitting Bui! and his
warriors Were in the way, and threat
ening death to oil who invaded their ter
ritory. On the way from Castar City
to Cheyenns, the wagon in which he
took passage was fired into by the In
dams, and two of the party killed, one
being c. W. Bargesser, of Virginia
City. Another wagon few miles be-
hind them was also attacked, and its
owner, u man named Metzar and his
wife and a colored woman, killed. He
says that it was generally believed that
the Indians who attacke them belonged
to the Red Cloud Agency, as they did
not scalp their victims, although they
mutilated the remains aud took " 5at
money they could find. The Snow had
all disappeared from the valleys before
our Informant lett. and he is Of the
opinion that rich quartz mines exist in
the Hills, though the surface diggings
do not pay an average Of one dollar
day to the hand.

The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-03-01

provement in business during the past
week that will justify the Journal in now
advocating only partial repeal. We must
therefore attribute its change of base
to some other cause. What was 1t, then,
that so suddenly changed the course OF
that paper on this important question?
Can it be that the offer, by the friends of
Morton, of the presidency of the conven-
ton to the proprietor of the Journal that
induces his paper to stultiiy itself and sur
render its often exposed convictions that
the resumption act shodld be wiped cut?
This surrender TO Morton was unexpected,
and for this reason excited universal re-
mark from friend aud foe. Its columns
for weeks have been filled with facts and
arguments in favor of unconditional re.
peal, and its friends thought that nothing
could change its course. Bat little flat
terry often accomplishes wonders, and the
Journal was not proof against this seduc-
tive influence.
The Indiana State sentinel. [volume] (Indianapolis) 1868-1895, 1876-03-01

In the speech of the president of the
Republican convention he promised to
confer upon the repentant Liberal Re-
publicsns who came back to the parry
''rings, If the panty had any" Judge
Msrtindale's knowledge of the situation is
very limited, If he does not know that the
party has several rings, though the
way they sre cherished and fastened,
we did not know that the party
was ready to dispose of them. Where
is the whisky ring, the District oil
Columbia ring, the Indian ring, the
Pacific Mail subsidy ring, the Tom Murphy
ring, the San Domingo ring, the Seneca
sandstone ring, the Philadelphia ring,
the Credit Mobilier ring? We don't be-
iieve the party will spare them, and the
judge, in the gratitude OF the moment,
spprecisting the honor conferred upon
him, promised too much.

The Journal, in a characteristic article,
denies that our present free school system
Is ian outgrowth of Democratic foresight
and wisdom" Indeed. it declares the as
sumption of the DemoC ratio State Central
Committee to this effect to be "a monstrous
lIe." When one loses his temper and calls
hard names it is evident that he has the
worst of the argument. The Journal very
we'll knows that Indiana was Democratic
when the laws which created our magniti-
cent school fund were enacted; il knows
that she was Democratic when the law
ts'ablishing free schools was passed, and
yet, with this knowledge in its possession,
1t pronounees the assumption that our pres
emit school system is the 'outgrowth
of Democratic foresight and wisdom"
"a monstrous lie." We will not
characterize this assertion of the
Journal in the language it deserves, but
content ourselves with the remark that
in this matter the Journal "lies" under q
mistake.

Mine.
The investigation of the committee on
foreign relations with the Emma mine
business, as reported in the Washington
dispatches this morning, shows up mat
ter that brings Senator Morton into a very
delicate situation as a candidate for the
presidency. The testimony of James Z.
Lyon shows that ex-senator Stewart, of
Nevada, rendered to Senator Morton
twenty thousand dollars for bis assistance
In setting up the judiciary of Nevada in
the interests of the Emma Mine Company.
A refractory judge needed to be removed in
order that the swiDdle might be perpetrated
with legal advantages that 1t was desirable
should be gained. III Morton had any
show for the presidential nomination this
testimony would be peculiarly unfortu-
nate at the present time. As it lie, it only
presents him in a most unfavorsbIe light
ss a senator and an honest man. Senator
Stewart must have known his man or he
would not have made the offer. Whether
he got the twenty thousand or not will
doubtless become one Of those unan-
swered questions like that of the dispos:-
ton of the twenty thousand placed to the
credit of Grant IN the Black Friday trans
actions, or later, whether Babcock got the
five hundred dollars Joyce sent to him.

representations OF ships, forests, etc, and
races ID the Corso by horses without ri
ders. Favorite amusements among the
maskers are beating each other with in
flated blsdders tied to icks, and throw
ing at people bon bons and pellets OF lime
which cover those struck with fine
dust. The celebrations in the German
and French cities have lost many of their
charms, and amounted TO little since the
republican revolutions of 1913. Naples
used to be famous for the splencor OF her
carnival, bat since the expulsion OF the
Bourbons she has had none until this year.
Although the carnival is nominslly
Christian feas. there can be but little
doubt that its origin is to be sought in the
Saturnslis of the Romans. This was q
mad and merry festival of the Ital-
ian people held in December,
to celebrate the bountitul hsrvests
which the ever blessed gods had vouch-
safed to the children Of men. In the later
days of Rome, the poets who were trans
planting to their own country the
mythology Of Greece affirm ed that the
IeStlNlLleS were III uO1OI VI OdbhAh
golden reign in Italy. But there can be
no doubt that the husbandmen of Jtily
were celebrating these rites long before
the poets had blended Roman names with
Greek ideas and imposed on their
countrymen an Hellenic mythology. The
tricks played upon the people in the streets
at the modern carnival can be traced in a
direct line to the Saturnslia, In which
they had a special meaning. The advent
of the carnival in this country seems to be
due TO the foreign elements of the popula-
ton of New Orleans. From that city Ii
has followed the river up to Memphis, and
OF late years has even assembled the Ohio
to Louisville and Madison, and to-day, for
the first time, an effort is to be made to
hold celebration in Cincinnati. The ex-
PLANTATION OF its growing popularity is
doubtless TO be found In the reaction of q
serious minded people from a constant
state of sobriety and earnest practically.
