EDS. HERALD Monday about A o'clock
p. III. quite lamentable, accident occurred
on the line Of this railroad, about a miles
east of Keota. An extra freight train,
bound east, ran into a wagon Containing
Mr.John Vincent and wife of Washington
and a Mr.. Gilmore of Davis county, this
State. Mrs. Vincent was instantly killed;
Mr.. Vincent died in half an hour after the
accident, and Mr., Gilmore, at this writing,
is still alive, but badly hurt and uncon-
scious. The accident occurred at a place
where the wagon road runs nearly parallel
with the track for more than one-fourth
mile before crossing. On the approach of
the train to the crossing, the whistle was
sounded repeatedly, but instead of waiting
till the train passed, the driver attempted
to out-run the train, with the result above
stated. A Coroner's jury returned ver-
dict fully exonerating the train-men from
all blame. Mr.. and Mrs Vincent were 81
and 78 years old. respectively, and were
old residents of this place. Mr.. Gilmore
was brother to Mrs. Vincent. Of course
every one is shocked, beyond measure. Mr..
and Mrs. Vincent were brought here and
will be buried Tuesday or Wednesday.

Hon. M. E. CUTS addressed large
and interesting meeting at indianapolis
last Saturday night. Notwithstanding
the muddy roads and the inclemency of
the weather, the house was full to over
flowing, and at least one hundred had to
stand up. During the two hours and
fifty minutes Cults was speaking, not one
person left the room, and a more atten-
tive audience never assembled to hear any
one speak. Mr.. Cults reviewed the acts
of the two parties for the last few years,
and showed up the faults and good acts of
them both. He also gave his views in
clear and honest way on the financial
question, and stated it so plain that every
one could understand it. Altogether it
was one of the best meetings ever held
in the county, every one went away well
pleased with it, and felt they had been
fully repaid for attending it. The Repub-
licans Of Monroe township vill send in a
good report. If the weather had been

Standard man had with Shinnick, as print
ed by US last week, Porter has been nearly
crazy over the Post-oliice, and you can see
the effect of it in his paper last week.

p. o.. and in his watery brain the salary
varies from $4,000 to $4,000. He is the
man who violated postal law, after being
told what it was, and when asked by a
clerk if the p. M. had not told him what
the law was, said, eyes; he read me the
law, but don't think it is right, and
:" shall not obey it." p, s. He did obey
it, however.

THE ODDS TOO GREAT-When a man
bets he does not like to give ten to one
even on dead certainty. The Standard
has the following:
The Standard will be sent for one year
free to all who are so assured of Hayes
election that they will promise in case our
candidate, Tilden, has the majority of the
State in November then they will pay us
$500 cash.
The man who takes that bet is out in
any event. 1t is like the boys when they
say ''pay if you bet?" For if he wins he
gets 100 per cent. less than nothing and if
he loses he is out $500. Oh no, Porter;

against a pig-t-ail, and be nearer even.

out the usual majority; Conkling or Morton
would burden the party in the State"
Charles Francis Adams, the standing can
didate of that anomaly in American politics
known as the Independent voter, has lately
scandalized these purists by expressing his
high opinion OF Mr.. James G. Blaine. who
has been the object of especial vili6cation
and abuse by journals claiming to represent
their somewhat indefinite idea of reform. He
remarked to an interviewing correspondent
OF the New York Herald, the other day.
that "he thought well of Mr.. Blaine, who is
strong and has head of his own. He
would have the advantage of good counsel
ors, and if elected would doubtless see the
discretion OF sound patriotic policy" The
chronic fault-finders who have no idea but
that they monopolize all the wisdom and
worm IL the country, except what is vested
in the person of G. f. A., would do well TO
give heed TO the opinions of their oracle.
Probably, even his immaculate opinion don't
count with them, except in so far as it
squares Wlth their own preconceived notions.
-Mtddtebury Register.
The feeling favorable to Mr.. Blaine has
been on the rise for month. A large and
influential Blaine club has just been founded
in this city to favor his nomination at Gin
cinnati. One is to be founded Immediately
in Brooklyn for the same purpose. In
Buffalo there is an organization 700 strong,
and they are springing up all over the State.
A committee of gentlemen have secured from
the Erie railroad, and the Atlantic and Great
Western favorable terms of transportation to
the convention. A body of solid New York
ers, 1000 in number, are going to the conven-
ton to use all honest means to put Mr..
Blaine in nomination. TIE prominent points
ofhis character are discussed on the boats, in
the cars, and where men most do congregate.
His ability is conceded. His craftsmanship
Is unquestioned. He is outspoken and de-
cided on all questions. His mora, character is
without stain, his enemies being Judges.
His surroundings will be pure; and bis habits
and his company will neither disgrace his
country nor his friends.-Nea1 York letter In

THE election of Barnum in Connecticut
threatens to throw that state into the hands
OF the Republicans, and good judges say that
it will cast a heavy majority against the
Democrats in the fall. The people of Con-
necticut feel that they have been disgraced
by the open sale of a seat in the Senate, and
they purpose TO give unmistakable evidence
of their opinion of the sincerity of party
which advocates ''the publication of politics
and the application of the tests of capacity,
fitness and integrity in the selection of candi-
dates" and then goes to work and elects
Senator whose only recommendation is his

Blaine, and he delivered it; but he never

THE ghostly ferryman has figured in lit
erature since the Greek days, and twenty
years ago or more made what was supposed
to be his farewell appearance, in the opening
pages of Macaulay's History of England.
But it seems that was mistake, for he is at
present sojou:ning in Missouri and runs 4
boat across the river at Boomyle. His
presence has cast deep gloom over the COM
muniiy, for the inhabitants of that thriving
place live in constant dread of call from
hlm' and don't feel that they have the cour-
age to refuse an invitation to a trip across the
river. Lack of funds is not a valid excuse,
for the boatman, unlike his prototype, does
not demand the customary copper and all
his passengers are figuratively as well as lit
orally ''dead-heads." In Boomville the fer
ryman is held to be the ghost of man who
was drowned when the barge "Fanne Lew
