Persons Killed and another Scdlded in

tst. Joseph Herald, 2lst.l
DR.. Trevor, County Coroner, re-
turned yesterday from the melancholy
errand of holding an Inquest over tho
bodies Of two persons who were killed
by the explosion of the boiler of n steam
thrcsher power in the eastern part of
the county.
Tho accident occurred about four
o'clock Thursday afternoon on the farm
of Mr.. Woodson, some twelve miles
southeast of the city, where Mr.. &. A.
Miller was threshing rye with steam
thresher. The machine was running
well. and as far as anybody knew, all
right, and the bundles were rapidly be-
ing devoured by the cylinder amid the
roar and noise of the machinery, when
a great sound and shock struck the
ears OF the busy workmen, and the ma
chine began suddenly to stop. The
boiler of The engine had exploded and
had completely disappeared from its
ent directions. Mr.. Miller, who was at
tending the engine and had been stand
ing close 70 il, was seen lying some six
ty feet away and when the men reached
him was dead. He had evidently been
struck by a large section Of the boiler
and thrown at an angle with its direct
ion. The blow was so great that ami
nation was completely struck out Of him
and the body never showed signs of
life. 1t was not much bruised. A son
ofMr. Miller, about twenty years of age
was also standing by the engine at the
fatal mo,neut, hut was fortunately
missed by the fragments. The shock
knocked him down, however, and the
boiling water and hot steam scalded
him terribly about the abdomen, chest
and face. lie was conscious when
picked up.
A young boy named John ElSton, was
ut the separator busily turning the
sheaves rs they were thrown to the
band-cutter. The little fellows posi-
tion WIS directly in the course of a
section of the bursted instrument, and
it picked him off like a feather. So
quickly was ii done that his comrades
could not follow him with their eyes,
and no one knew what became of him.
His body was soon found blown almost
through wing of the straw stack. some
fifteen feet thick, his lower eXtrcmities
wound around the iron missile that had
done the work of death. lie was dead
when found.
Mr.. Miller lived in Plattsburg, and
was about torty-five years old. He was
a man OF family, and some means. and

Our Washington Letter.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October 18, rs.
In the light of history we now see
that the Presidential election of 1860 en-
shrouded great danger to the Repub-
lie. The law-abiding and honest mass
es of the North could not be brought to
recognize 1t in advance. Wise and
thoughtful men, however, predicted,
and confidently expected, serious IL not
bloody antagonism. Had all the advo-
Gates of our country's welfare. IRE
spcctive Of party. foreseen the peril and
spoken overwhelmingly and unitedly at
the polls, no conflict could have oc-
Cured or. if occurring, could have in
vo!ved such dreadful loss of life and
treasure.
Sixteen years have elapsed, and we
are now standing on the brink of an
other vortex. A like want Of apprecia-
ton, We fear, exists among the people
at large. Those gifted with political
foresight see the threatened storm.
They are pointing to the means by
which it can be averted; yet, it is not
certain that the country is giving prop
or heed.
Let US examine the situation calmly
and truthfully. We observe o man
seeking the Presidency whose rule Of
action through life has been. and now
is, that any public station may be
bought. Possessing neither magma
tism nor striking ability. he, by the
force ofinoney alone, becomes Cover
nor of New York. By tho same appli-
ance he secures the nomination of his
party for the position Of Chief Execu-
tive of the Nation. BY money he con-
trolls the unscrupulous leaders of the Vi
lest elements of the national metrop.
oils.
This man fraternizes with Tweed, and
is powerful; he hob-nobs with the in
mates Of the slums and is good fellow;
he filches railroads from ursuspecting
owners by a process peculiarly his own
and becomes immensely wealthy; he
avoids taxation and is esteemed signifi.
cantly sharp.
Samuel J. Tilden with no particular.
ly honorable record, desires to be Presi-
ident, and proposes to accomplish this
result by the aid of money, manage
ment, and pandering to aud obsequious-
ly courting dtsloyalty.
To accomplish his object Tilden and
his staff have adopted series Of meas
ures. with tho view to secure u United
South" and to overpower the voice Of
the rural districts Of the Empire State
by the aid OF Morrissey, Kelly. and
O'Brien, in practicing fraud in the city
OF New York.
The question now presented is, shall
u a"United South" assisted by sympa-
thizcrs In the North. prevaiP We are
now "forewarned." Let US be Store
armed" The great danger has its abb.
ding place In the city Of New York.
In the city Of New York, at the out
break Of the rebellion. the Southern
sympathisers seriously considered the
propriety Of seeding from the rest ol
the State. This fact shows to every
loyal person. that that city was then,
and is now. the ally Of the leaders in
