Casualties of the Week.

On the morning Of the 10Th ter
rible explosion occurred at Tug &
Cos. mills in Pittsburg, Pa, which
was attended by great loss of life
The boilers in the nail mill exploded
and that building and more than half
the rclling mill we're demolished. -
The building also caught fire. At
the time of the explosion there were
employed in the mailing mill depart
ment $50 men and boys. The explo-
sion literally tore the building to
pieces. The roof was raised and in
falling it fortunately rested on the
nail machines enabling most Of the
workmen to crawl out and escape be-
fore the fires from the furnaces caught
the mass of the wreck. Owing to the
excitement and confusion it is impos-
sible to give an exact list of the killed
and wounded. The number of killed
is over twenty, and the wounded more
than double that many.
Two passenger trains collided near
Boston, on the 18th. The engines
were broken into complete wrecks
So were also the baggage and crate
cars, and the track torn up for fifty
or sixty yards. A fireman was killed
and the two engineers badly injured,
but the whole thing seems to have
been SO we'll managed that the pas
sengers escaped injury.
The Mississippi steamboat Southern
Belle was burned Wednesday morn
ing last, near Plaquemine, La, SIZE
was totally destroyed and a number Of
lives lost.

BOTH SIDES VICTORIOUS !

The leaders and orators Of both
parties in the other States have been
saving their lungs, a Id the campaign
clubs and brass bands standing pla-
eddy at parade rest, waiting for In
diana and Ohio to decide the presi-
dental contest. The republicans
were cock sure both States would 80
for Hayes. The democrats worked
Ike beavers to have them both go
for Tildon. The chances for neither
did not really seem far from even.-
So both sides waited for the verdict
The elections came Oft on Tuesday
last week, but for two days the re.
tarns came flying east in such hotter
SHELTER uncertainty that the only clear
conclusion seemed to be that Ohio and
Indiana had gone both ways There
was very painful state of suspense

faces, If the republicans wore long
faces awhile the morning after the
elections, the democrats had their
emiling faces equally clouded by the
evening news. The country papers
on both sides paraded their ROSTERS
in gorgeous array, each trying to out
crow the other. 1t Was full two days
before the hay atmosphere cleared
up sufficiently to show that Indiana
had gone decidedly democratic and
Ohio decidedly republican. and that
es far az the Presidential contest is
concerned the great result is as un-
certain as it was before. The battle
must therefore after all be fought
along the whole line.
The result in Indiana is that the
democrats elect Williams, Governor,
by majority Of about 5000. In the
State Legislature however, the repub-
iicans strangely enough have secured
a majority in each ranch, and the
democrats have lost four members Of
Congress.
In Ohio, Burnes, republican oandi-
date for Secretary Of State, has a ma
lority of $500 and the balance Of the
republican State ticket nearly 5000
majority. The republicans have also
a gain Of SIX members of Congress and

Slow But Sure.

John D. Lee, the mormon eX bish-
on, convicted last week in Utah, OF
taking a leading part in the brutal
Mountain Meadow massacre, commit
ted over nineteen years ago, HIS been
convicted and sentenced to DEATH
Being allowed his choice as to the
node he elects to be shot, and the day
appointed is the 26th Of January,
1877. This is a remarkable case, H.
Illustrating justice as slow but sure.
Some nineteen years ago a party OF
poor emigrants-men, women, and
children-whilst passing through this
Territory were set upon by an armed
band and murdered without dlstlnc-
ton of sex or age. This WAS known
as the Mountain Meadow massacre.
So safe from punishment did the muir
derers seem that the details of the
shocking deed were openly convassed,
and but himsy veil thrown over
the perpetrators. Every one in the
region knew that the leading Nor
mons were all implicated, The bones
Of many Of the victims We're left
bleaching on the plains, and We're
seen years after by travellers. 1t was
certainly not within the calculations Of
the murderers that human justice
would ever call them to account
Though the horror aroused by the
occurrence was universal, it was I'M
possible to punish the perpetrators
except by military justice no jury
could be empanneled that would dare
convict. Shortly afterwards we had
the war on our hands. and the NOR
man case put at the bottom of the
list. 1t was reached. however, at last,
and the first steps taken was the hui
initiation of Brigham Young. The
long outraged Gentlles saw him at
last, as submissive as any other cll-
zen, at the bar Of that law he had 50
long oyerrllden, and saw his usurped
powers rent from his grasp one by one.
During these nineteen years many OF
the Mountain Meadow murdcrers
have gone to confront their victims IN
the other world, and are beyond man s
Judgment, but the law has caught up
at last with the survivors of them.
One Of them is about to meet the pun
ishment SO long delayed, and the
others have good reason to quake
with fear. His execution will mark
the total downfall of the despotio
and lawless power which so long with
stood the United States in tie Ter
ritory OF Utah.

FAITHFUL. TO DEATH-Peace brings
out true heroism as we'll as war. The
Savannah, Georgia, papers say that
the history of the yellow fever scourge
in that city is rich in incidents of quiet
herosm. One comes to us which re-
veals only the Christian name of the
hero, Charley, clerk in Llpman' S
drug store in the afflicted city. This
young fellow, little more than boy
in years, was left by his employer in
the store, which was carried on by
the bookkeeper and himself. He re-
NAMED in charge until, the book
keeper having left, Mr. Lipman told
him to close the store. Designating
the entreaties of his relatives to leave
the infected city, he went to another
drug store, the proprietor Of which
took sick and, despite Charley's nurs-
ing, died. The boy remained faith
full to his post, putting up prescrip-
tions night and day. He nursed
through the fever his cook and a young
friend, Symons. When Symons re-
covered, the brave boy Charley was
himself taken sick, and Symons re-
paid his friends devotion by equal
care, but in vain. Charley died, and
poor Symons, WON out by his exer-
tons, taken with relapse, survived his
friend but few hours.

The gamins of Paris had rare sport
recently rat hunting, or rather rat
killing, as the animals were found
without any trouble. Preparing for
the new market to be constructed in
the Rue Maubeuge, the workmen
were tearing down the wooden huts
which occupied the old market place
Under these huts millions Of rats
were hidden, and their slaughter was
terrific. All the dogs in the neigh
borhood collected, and their onslaught
was very deadly. There were crowds
of spectators standing about the place,
and thus thousands Of rats escaped,
They found refuge in the houses and
shops around, and were hunted out
by the inmates so that the sport and
excitement was kept up, much to the
delight Of the youngsters,

she began to enlarge it, to the jeopar-

middle, lifted him clear from tile
