LAST Thursday, says the Coshocton
Age, a fully developed child, that had
lived and breathed, was found floating
in Wills Creek. near Frew's Mill, in Coz
shocton county. 1t is supposed that the
body was thrown in the creek, believing
that it would float far away from the
scene of its murder. But the water be-
ing low it could not pass over the dam
and was discovered. The perpetrators
OF the crime are known and we presume
will soon be brought to justice as they
deserve.

RAILROAD TROUBLES.

PITTsBURG, Oct. 23.--The line Of the
new railroad which is being built by cap-
llalists Of this city, and known as the
Pittsburg & Lake Erie Road, crosses the
trac ks of the Pennsylvania Road, at Ma
honingtown, Pa Last week the latter
road began grading for a side track to be
placed four or FIVE feet below the grade
of their main track, with the intention of
preventing the new road from crossing
their line. The Lake Erie Road, howev-
er, put large force of men on and sue
ceeded in making the crossing last night.
A large force Of workmen employed by
the Lawrence & Newcastle Road march
ed to the crossing and tore up the newly
laid track OF the Lake Erie Road The
latter road, with still larger number of
workmen, relaid the track to-day, and il
was torn up again this evening. Trouble
is feared there tonight.

FASHION NOTE.

The ladies in this city are introducing
new mode of salutation. They have
done away with the silly nonsense of
kissing each other and keep all such
little labial exercises for husbands
and brothers. Many, when they meet
their acquain'ances Of few years ago,
show their meekness and Joy by turning
their lovely eyes beavenward or over the
way, and at the same time their chins
chase their noses towards the top of their
heads. They never nod familiarly, for
that is very vulgar. They toss.- [Vir-

The COLORADO CONT EST.
Washington, October "a.

Washington, October "a.
After the reading of the journal the
House resumed the consideration of the
Colorado case, and was addressed by Mr..
Harrison IIl,) in advocacy of Patterson's
right to the seat
His speech was of humorous, satrical
stamp, describing the game of the Re.
publicans as being one of heads. win /;
tails, you lose." He characterized the
last Presidential election as a game in
which the Republicans held the four
kings, a knave and bowie knife, and he
referred to Senator E. mdnds as th9 ST.
Jerome Of the Green Mountains, who, by
the aid ofaliunde, bad thrust through the
back window of the White House a man
who had been rejected by the people.
But he thanked God that, like Oliver
Twist, when boosted through window
by thieves, Mr.. Hayes had barred the
doors after he got in and had kept out
most Of the thieves Caughter) and if he
would only listen to the voice of the300O0
majority in Ohio he would drive out of
his Cabinet the "lean and hungry Cas-.
sius" at the head of the Treasury. As
long as Mr.. Hayes conducted his admin
istration on the principles of the eat
Democratic party that party would help
him and stand by him regardless of the
barking of TRAY, Blanche and Sweet
heart" and all the little dogs at the other
end of the Capitol. He ridiculed the or.
atory made on the Republican side be-
cause of the vacuum in the representa-.
ton of the far off State of Colorado. and
cOntrasted with it the fact that the State
of Louisiana had been left for six years
unrepresented or misrepresented in the
Senate aud for two years in the House.
In conclusion he favored the reference of
the whole subject to the committee on
elections, and he prom sed that when
that committee had reported the Demo.
cratic side of the House would vote hon
estly and not as partisans.
Mr., Garfield (Ohio) argued that Mr..
Belford was at least entitled to the seat
prima facie. because he produced the on
ly certificate of the Governor declaring
that he had been duly elected to the
Forty.Fifth Congress. He trusted that
that certificate would be duly hOnoIed in
this hall and that Mr.. Belford would bo
admitted to a seat as having the prima
faCie right, and that if there were no fur
ther question in the matter it should
be referred to the committee on elec.
tions
After further debate and without action
on the question the House at 1926 ad.
journed till tomorrow.

And going to bed ne saw ghost which said
lam the spirit OF that slaughtered party
Whose blood you shed.
'In my young days hurled proud defiance
At saverys hosts and in my trial hour
met wars gathering dangers with giants

Brave hands the standards Of my strength up

Made all the future seem glorious dream;
But now, alas my murdered corpse is drifting
Down Frauds foul stream.
"Old Rome, proud Athens, every ancient nation
Which tried to cheat the people, and so died,
Calls my poor soul to share its deep damnation,
Its fallen pride.

A Mississippi Fiat Boat Fun OUer by
SteQmer-A Mother, Son and TWo In
funt8 DrOoCned

St. Louis, October GA terrible aCCi.
dent happened eleven miles below this
city last night about midnight, whereby
four persons lost their lives.
A few days ago party ofseYen persons
consisting of James Crowley, wife and
baby, and son fifteen years old, Epb
riam Weaver and widowed sister nam
ed Susan Smith and her babe, left Ham
ilton, Illinois, for the purpose of emmi
grating southwark. They embarked in
two rude skiffs and small fat. boat
which contained their small store of
worldly effects. They had proceeded
down the Mississippi until they reached
point opposite the quarantine station,
eleven miles below the city. They were
hlating down mid-stream when they dis
covered coming toward them the steam
boat Grand Lake, with barges in tow
The men had lights displayed on their
frail craft and halloed at the top of their
voices, but the steamboat paid no atten-
ton to the warning and bore down upon
the boats, Capsizing all three and hurling
the occupants into the river. James
Cowley passed under the steamboat, and
was struck by the wheel and badly in
jured, but was luckily thrown against a
capsized skiff, upon which he clambered.
Weaver also managed to reach one of the
overturned boats and rescue his sister,
Susan Smith, but her babe, together witt.
Mrs. Crowley and her baby and fifteen
year old son, were drowned. The sur
viving trio reached the city to-day, pen
niless and overwhelmed with grief at the
distressing Ca'amity that befell them.
They charge the officers of the steam
boat with heartess conduct in paying
no attention to their warning cries, and
in refusing to aid in rescuing them from
the water.

OF disasters by land and sea there has
been no lack. The great fire at St. John,

part of that city, the loss being estimated
at from ten To twelve million dollars.
Portland, suburb of The same city, sui

amount of $500. 900. Providence r. J.,
had property destroyed by fire amounting
to S675, 800. Then there was the burning
of the ST Louis Hotel. Hale's piano fac

ot less importance. OF disasters by sea
the last Fall has been prolific. Shipwrecks
have been frequent. The loss of the

life. Many brave seamen and good YES
