Renaissance Of John d. Lee.

1t appears that the notorious John D.
Lee, recently executed for the part he
took in Mountain Meadows massacre,
was many year ago a resident of Win
chester, in this State. Mr.. o. w. Heis-
kell, of this city, who lived in Winches-
ter thirty-fiye or forty years ago, knew
Lee very well, but had no idea until the
great Mormon murderer and his acquain-
lance OF the name were one and tbs
same person. A few days ago Mr.. Her
ry L. OFT, Of this city, received letter
who resides in Winchester, conveying
the information that a communication
had been received flom. Utah whicL
proved beyOnda doubt that the Lee
family at one time lived in Winchester,
Mrs. Gaifith requested Mr.Ott to tell
Mr.. Heiskell that his old friend Lee
was no more, and gave him the particu-
lars Of his tragic death.
From Mr.. Heiskell we learned some
interesting Renaissance in the life of
Lee while at Winchester. Lee was
then about twenty years of age, and a
model Of manly beauty. His father was
postmaster Of, the town, and kept a
small store in connection with the
post-oflice, in which young Lee clerked.
| Colonel Thomas Roberts, an uncle of
young Lee, married a beautiful young
lady named Tygert, whose connections
were among the~most respectable and
aristocratic of the wealthy Baltimore
families, and settled in Winchester.
Lee and Mrs. Roberts, who was not
more than nineteen or twenty years OF
age, formed an attachment for each 9TH
er, and the wife proved uDfaithful to her
husband. Col. Roberts was completely
broken down by the discovery of his
wife's infidelity, and, although he had
always been strictly temperate man,
of excellent private character, he took
to drinking, and in a short time was a
complete wreck, ruined in health and
purse. In the meanwhile Lee and Mrs.
Roberts went West, and nothing more
was heard of them at Winchester until
after his execution. - Wheeling Latelh-

Next Monday, Court day. there will
be full and free discussion of the pub
lie debt question. 1t is subject which
has engaged the attention of the first
minds of the state. 1t was brought
prominently into the canyass before the
selection Of candidate for Governor.
In the platform Of the party, it is re-
ferred to, demands but not in that de.
eisive man ner which would be desired by
the man who farms the payment of the
debt, in full, on the one hand, or by HIM
who, on the other, would repudiate it. But
whatever may be the expressions used
in the platform, or the individual opin-
ions Of the people, all will depend upon
the action of the Legislature to be chosen
this year. It is to be hoped for the
good of the state that whatever is to be
done will be done quickly. If the debt
is to be paid let US make the necessary
provision at once. fit is to be COM
promised let US have the benefit of the
compromise, and if, which we hope will
never be..the case, it is to be repudiated
let US have the benefit as vel
as the disgrace. Prompt and decisive
action upon the part of the Legislature
is what the people demand. They
want to be..relieved of the burden O
anxiety and uncertainty which has OPP
pressed them. Upon the selection o.
delegates depends the issue in which
all are so much intrusted.

tails ola railroad accident on the Chi.
cage, RocksIsland and Pacific railroad,
at tie east branch. of Four Mile: creek,
seven miles from this city, are beginning
to arrive. The number of killed is cs-
timated all the way from 10 to 80. All
the train but the sleeping car went
down into the stream. The engine is
completely out of sight. Barnum's
show car went down among the rest.
and it is said all of its eleven occupants
but one were killed. Full particulars
of the accident are impossible at pres!
ent, as the accident occurred several
miles from telegraph office. ~
A special dispatch to the State Regis
ter from the wreck says there over six
teen killed so far as known. Twelve
bodies are out on the banks as follows
Billy Bakstran, engineer: J. X. Bait
and daughter, of Boone, Iowa; VIM.
Cummings, newsboy; Mrs. Emma Bah

HIS; seven ofP. I. Barnum's men as
follows: +. b. Baker, j. H. Preeze, A .
Mack, G. Rockwell, G. T. Thompson,
J. Purcell and another.
-Four dead bodies are still seen in the
wreck, but cannot be got OUT at present.
Mrs. j. K. Bait, whose husband and
daughter are among the killed, is badly
injured. The accident was occasioned
by the washing out Of a bridge, and
occurred about four O'Clock this morn
ing. sm
The following were injured: W. Y.

body has been recovered, that of quite
an old man, with the name of J. S.
Ferguson in his hat, in car not vet
recovered. Several more bodies can be
seen. The car on the top of this is
now being lifted off with ropes and
pulleys. The bodies so far recovered
are now being loaded on cars, to be
sent to Des Moines. 1t is thought that
several bodies have tioated down the
stream, the water in the channel of
which is over twenty feet deep. The
wounded and uninjured have all been
taken to Altoona.
Further dispatches state that the body
taken out from the wreck just referred
to was that Of Mrs. Grow, of East Des
Moines. Her head was caught and
mashed between two cars.
Three more bodies have since been
taken out, all men, one supposed by
papers found on HIM to be named
Cogen, a commercla. traveller, from
Peoria, Ill. The other two bodies are
unidentified, The body of a lady now
tight in the wreck makes eighteen per
sons known to be killed. The three
cars are SO firmly telescoped together
that it is impossible so far to pry them
apart even with block and tackle.
The name of the last man taken out
was Thos. Dunaway, of East Des
Moines, who recently ran away from
the insane asylum.

| ENORMOUSLY SHoT.-We are IN
formed that young man by the name
of Wsrenfeltz was shot in the right hip,
the ball following the bone downward
into the leg, on Sunday night last, while
passing through the peach orchard Of
George Garrish, who lives below Funks-
town. 1t appears that a number of
roughs have been stealing peaches from
Mr.. Garrish, and also threatened to
clean out his entire orchard. Mr.. Garrish
and his sons were on guard on Sunday
night. Mr.. Warenfeltz had been attend
ing meeting at the church on the
Sharpsburg pike, and after the services
took across the fields homeward. In
passing through the orchard he was
fred upon with the above result. He
was taken for one of the roughs. The
wound is a very serious one.-Haqsrs-

following: ...r -..-. ~ rs..
Osman Pasha's, attack on the Rus
sian positions at Peiisat and vicihity
was one of the most hardly fought
! battles of the war. The Turks early
in the fight captured Russian redoubt
one mile in front of Pelisat. In the
course of one hour this redoubt was
taken by the Turks, retaken by the
Russians, and taken again by the Turks.
The Russian left wing was driven back
on Pelisat, in front of which trenches
had been dug and, were lined with
troops. The 3 Turks advanced as
though determined to drive our left out
Of Pelisat and turn it. The Turks be-
gan to descend the hill in that direction,
not with rush, but leisurely and with
scattered and diffused. They came
down about half way in this manner,
the Russian artillery tearing up the
groups all the time in the most savage
manner. The Russian infantry fire,
which had for the last five minutes been
very heavy about Zgalince, now began
to roll along the hill crest in our direc-
zion, and the Turks, who were just
coming into range, beganrto drop rapid
ly. The Turkish advancement veered
to the left and went at the Russian
trenches on the crest of the hills be
tween Peisat and Zgaiince.
The Turks had no sooner withdrawn
from the Russian fire than they formed
and advanced again. Many dead bodies
of Turks were found within ten feet of
ths Russian trenches. The little slope
on the crest of which the trenches were
situated was literally covered with dead.

GREAT FIRE IN New YORK Cry
A devastating fire occurred in New
York city yesterday, destroying about
$500. 900 worth of property and oc-
casioning the death of several peri
sons. The rapid spread of the fire
mainly due to the scarcity of water,
the fremen not being able to secure
enough water to fight the flames.
Many of the water plugs were useless,
and the utmost efforts Of the fire de-
partment were in some instances abor
tive. The Croton supply has been
hitherto deemed inexhaustible, but it
yesterday failed to meet the requisition
made at time of great exigency,"

The Governor of West Virginia pro-

votes /; Clarksburg 29,942 votes, and
Martinsburg 8,044 votes, at the election
on the 7th ult. The official majority
for Charleston, over both her COMPETE
tors is, therefore, 3,257. No official re-
turns were received from Tyler county
consequently her vote, whatever it was,
is not included in the above. After
