IL the absence OF the editor last
week sguib to the effect that owing
to the Effectiveness Of the track, one
third Of the horses that ran at the
late fair were more or less crippled.
The information was gathered from
some disappointed horsemcn, and
published without due consideration.
From subsequent and more reliable
testimony it is conclusivoly proved
that 10 horse was seriously injured
during the fair except through the
carelessness Of riders Or drivers, or
from accidents liable to occur on
the best track in the country when
so many horses are contending.

THE SEN8ToESnIP AS the time
approaches for nominating a caudi-
date for State Senator, aspirants
loom up thick and fast. The names
of Alex Wilson, Q L. Underwood,
Archibald Campbell, John Spensley,
Il S. Smith, L. w. Joiner, S. w,
Reese, et al, Of Iowa county, aud
w j. Bowen, L. Baily, Norman
James, j. II. Waggoner, ct al, of
Richland, are mentioned in connec-
tion with the place.
From such a supply OF good ma
terial the convention cannot fail to
construct a first class candidate. 1t
seems that neither county is likely
to unite upon candidate of its own,
and the result cannot be foretold.
We are content to patiently wait the
final action of the convention, in full
confidence that it will be such as
all good Republicans can endorse at
the polls.

Waiting for His Trial.

The Panama Star and Herald of re-
cent date says: "A singular case has
come to light from the Superior Court of
Ayacucho, in South America. Twenty
years ago, in drunken fight, an unfor-
tunate Indian was killed in that city by
another who was actually crazy from the
effects of strong liquor. The punish
ment for such offenses is five years hard
labor. The culprit was committed to
prison and awaited his trial for exactly
20 years, his case having been called
only few since. Then he was sentenced
to the five years penalty AS soon as
the President was made acquainted with
the affair, he ordered the Attorney-Gen-
eral to investigate the case, which now
is being done. The offender may escape
the term of five years, but he has been
obliged to await such an indulgence for
20 years, spent in lonely dungeon"

AMONG the curious and INTERESTING
relics of the battle of Plattsburah vet
preserved is the brick house corner of
Bridge avenue and McDonough street in
that village, which was at the time the
residence of Major Gen. BENJAMIN
Moers, second in command of the Amer
lean forces in that engagement, in which
he literally fought III defense of his own
tireside. During the fierce encounter at
the bridge over the Saranac, 24-pound
ball pierced the front of the general
mansion and imbedded itself in the
wainscoting at the foot of the
stairs in the main hall. He retained this
souvenir of English esteem in its place
and there it remains at the present day.
The surface of the ball exposed to view
has been painted black and inscribed in
white letters: September IL, 1914"
The mansion is now occupied by Mrs.
Amasa Mooers, widow of son of the
general.

What a Man can Stand.

An accident recently occurred in
Hunterdon county, Md, railroad en-
ploye being thrown from a train by a
sudden jerk, with great force, his right
shoulder striking the iron rail, his body
and limbs partly on the same, and be-
tween the wheels, one car passing over
the unfortunate mans body, the next
car resting upon his chest and stomach.
Under this tremendous weight (six tons)
he suffered several minutes, until his
fellOw-wOrkmen, with a united force,
lifted the car from his body. His face,
when the car was removed, was perfectly
black and his vision entirely gone His
injuries were supposed to be fatal, con-
sisting of a fracture of the thigh bone, a
dislocation of the same at the hip Joint,
making the limb measurement, one-and-
a-half inches longer than the other; also
a fracture of the collar-bone in two diff
ferent places, the ribs where the wheel
rested upon the breast bone, five in
number, and pressing upon the heart and
lungs; flesh wound several inches deep
in the right thigh, and the eyes partly pro-
truding from their sockets The doctor
Immediately set the fractured bones, and
with the assistance of those present sue
ceeded, after several persevering efforts,
in putting the bone to its place, by rota-
ton (Which is said to be one of the most
Difficult operations in surgery, and pro-
badly one of the very few of the kind
ever performed in this state before)
The remarkable part is that the patient is
improving and will probably get out
again

The War in Asia Minor,

The Russian troops advanced on the
strongly fortified town of Erzeroum in
several columns. The main army was at
kars; while the right wing marched
against the Turkish defenses in the de-
files of the Sougauiu mountains. The
left wing was pushing forward against
Erzeroum from the recently captured
town of Bajazid. 1t will be seen that the
Russians are advancing into Asia Minor
as fast as the unwieldy movements of
large bodies of men and military stores,
and the stubborn resistance of the Turk,
will permit.

Nor long since a love affair of some
what romantic character took place in
the royal family of Servia. The widow
CT Lady Won Brenavatsch, niece of
Prince Milan, fell in love with her rela-
tive, Michael Bogitiewitsch, a cousin of
the Princes. Such a marriage was not
permissible in orthodox Servia, so they
crossed into Hungary, and were married
by the Roman Catholic priest at Weiss
klrehen. 50 much feeling was caused,
however, in Seryia by their marriage that
they have since left that country for
ever.
