TIE PoINr OF Rocks DISASTER
FAILURE OF THE jury OF 1SoUEsT TO
AGREE.-Frederick, Nd, June lS.-
After day of much wrangling the ju-
" of inquest on the death of Howard
! T. Dixon, one of the victims OF the
/ Point of Rocks collision, Baltimore and
/ Ohio railroad, notified Justice Stokes at
six o'clock this evening that they were
! unable to agree upon a verdict. Accord
iugly the coroner requested an adjourn
ment until Saturday, the 23d instant, at
which time, if still unable to agree, a
majority and minority decision will be
rendered. The jury now stand ten ia
yorinc . censure of the general man
arement of the railroad company for
not issuing more specific instructions
for the safe running of the excursion
train against regular train, and two in
favor of the cenSure of the conductor
and engineer of the excursion train on
ly. Much disappointment is manifested
at the inability OF the jury TO agree.
RErUsEs TO go DEAD. The death
of the democratic party seems to be a
subject Just now of animated discussion
in Northern journals, the New York
Herald in the lead. Some republican
newspapers assert that it is detunct,
wiile the organs of democracy univer-
rally insist that it is alive, and protest
against lis premature burial. Perhaps
/ in the case Of a party or an individual
it is VOL to believe the alleged deceas-
I ed, if he declares that ne is still alive,
rather than any one who is interested
in consigning him holeus volens to the
tomb. Considering that the democrat
ic party had majority OF 100000 OF the
popular vote and majority ofthc cleo
toral vote also in last presidential cleo
ton. and that good many republicans
think their own President was not fairly
counted in" and would not be dis
pleased to see Mr.. Tilden in his place,
it is reasonable to conclude that the
democratic party may be speaking the
truth when it asserts that it still lives.
Let us give both sides fair hearing,
and not bury the dead man while he
shows Such signs of vitality. Who
knows but that he may live to put his
enemies under the sod!-Bah. Sun.
