Railway Trains.

Ii Is the general impression that q trair
moving at a high rate of speed is more like,
ly, in case Of accident, to leave the track
than if its motion was slower. On the
Hudson river road, however, Friday morn,
ing, the st. Louis express escaped what
might have been a terrible accident because
of the Tapidity with which it was running.
IL struck a freight train moving across the
track with such force that il cut a car com
pletely in two and passed on without leav-
ing the track itself. lis escape, however,
makes those in charge of the freight train
none the less blamewOrthy.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Hcy0M predicts that nine republi-
can senators will be found to unite with
the democrats, throw out the vote of Loui-
siana, and thus settle the presidential elec.
ton in favor Of Tilden; and names six of
the nine, as follows Alcorn Of Mississippi.
Robertson Of South Carolina, Hamilton of
Texas, Dorsey Of Arkansas, Conover Of
Florida, and spencer of Alabama. Without
expressing any opinion as to the correct
utss Of the statement, we may say that
taere 10 ~ Inherent i~mprobability in it
vile her the vote Of Louisiana ought to be
counted or iciscted-as the first three
would as naturally act withthe democrats as
with he republicans, while tine last three
are political tramps having 10 political
principles except bread and butter.

The Boston HcraM says that the testi-
mony Of its reporters, based on informa-
ton obtained from the police, confirms the
statement Of Judge Glderslooye that hard
times tend 20 decrease rather than increase
crime. 1t says: Poor people have no
" money to waste in spreos, and want Of
60 work doesn't make honest men into ras-
" Gals" and adds that the employment
of everybody would not prevent crime. at
" you'll increase IT," We have before
stated that tie criminal records of Vermont
DO not show Il decrease of crime on account
OF tie hard times. On the contrary it has
largely incIcascl. But accepting the the
Dry Of Judge Gilderslecve and the Boston
Herad as correct, isn't 1t just q little
wicked to desire better times and 70 en-
daayor to give employment t. the large
srmy Of the unemployed, if its tendency
viii be TO make these otherwise innocent
men criminals, increase crime, and fill II
l.il5 and prisons with men who, but for
beng able 10 earn aliyiug, would have been

night before that his Cavendish cattle were

ARGUMENT FOR THE PROSECUTION
This closed the evidence in the case, and
VIM. II. Walker Immediately commenced
his argument for Tie state. He set I'D
somewhat the theory Of the prosecution TO
be that Graylin having already had q Grim

had appeared against him as witnesses, and
having another similar case pending, he
had a motive for getting White out of the
way. Further, that he had, in the pres.

of Gravlin for White was a sham put on

A LONG LOST MURDERER FOUND
INTHF PRNITENTLARK

indianapolis, June 5.-The Michigan
City prison authorities, in obedience to
writ of habeds corpus issued by Judge
Perkins, of the Supreme Bench, brought
down to-day Frank Becker alias Louis
Armstrong, now serving five years SEN
tence in the Northern Prison for high
way robbery in the South Bend district
Becker alias Armstrong, since his incar-
ceration, has been identified as the burg
lar who, on the night of March 10, 1874,
shot and fatally wounded Joseph Dain,
Mayor of Toronto, since which time he
has been fugitive from Canadian JUS
tice. The Dominion authorities now
claim him under the provisions of the
Ashburton treaty of lS42, which provides
for the surrender of criminals under SEN
tence who are charged with high crimes
in another country. He was taken be-
fore the Court and identified by John
Wilson Murray, of Toronto, who bears
commission from the Governor General
ofthe Canadian Provinces. The Canadin
Commissioner repre- ents him as des-
perate scoundrel, carable of any crime.
The fight with the Mayor of Toronto by
Becker, at the time of attempting the
burglary, was a determined one. but the
wounds which Dion received did not ter
inmate in death until year afterward,
In June following, Becker, under the as
sumed name of Louis Armstrong, robbed
Edward King, near South Bend of $l06,
and his capture and conviction for this
offense eventually led to Identification in
the Toronto affair.

DEMONS OF THE TRACK.

st. Louis, June 6.-Since the dastardly
attempt to wreck and rob the St. Louis
and San Francisco express tram in the
Ozark mountains last Saturday night, at
which time three men were killed, detec-
tives have been busy in the work of fer
reting out the perpetrators, and this
morning arrested five men charged with
the crime. Their names are John Oil
yer, George Gibson, John Longard, Sam
Allen and John Greenstreet. The arrest
was made in Pulaski county, Mo-, all the
men being residents of that county. Oil
yer was the first one arrested, and it was
his confession that led to the arrest of
the others, He is youth not over twen-
ty, and within an hour after being arrest
ed he made a full confession, stating that
the crime was conCocted by eight men
ofthe county, all farmers, whose intention
it was to wreck the train by pitching it
over the fortyefoot embankment, and
then pillage the express car and rob the
dead passengers, All the prisoners are
in charge of Deputy United States Mar
shal Langston, at Richmond, Mo-, and a
strong guard is kept oyer them for fear
of lynchers.

ELEPHANTS ENJOYING A BATH.

The close proximity of the circus
grounds to the water enabled the ele-
plants of Howe's London Circus to enjoy
bath. On Saturday and Sunday they
were allowed to enter the water, morn.
ing and evening, a liberty which they
regard as a great luxury, Yesterday
afternoon at five O'Clock over two thous-
and people had gathered to the Preston
bridge and the river banks to see the
animals take their plunge. They were
led out by their keeper who has the
most perfect control over them, and en-
tered the water. They waded out until
beyond their depth, and then swan quite
across the Shetucket to the west bank.
During the passage they seemed to have
jolly time, shooting the water at each
other from their trunks, and climbing
upon each others backs. They were re-
luctant to return, but at the call of their
keeper, who led them in boat, they re-
turned to shore in a docile way,-NOrwich

THE LIVE sol UTHERN DEMOCRACY

Washington, June Postmaster Gem
eral Key returned to Washington yester-
day from his trip through the South with
the Postal Commission, He has made
several speeches in North Carolina, Ten
nessee and Georgia, and conversed with
quite large number of leading men on
the politicalsituation in the South. 1t is
understood that he saw none Of that dis
affection among the Democrats Of those
States which is occasionally reported in
Washington and finds its way into the
Administration newspapers. Onthe con-
trary, he found that the Democrats were
united as of old, and indisposed to form
any alliance for the support of the Presi.
dent in policy towards the South which
had been forced upon him by the action
of the House in refusing to appropriate
money to maintain troops in Louisiana
and South Carolina. AS for any revival
of the Wing party, the question was hard
ly mooted except to follow discussion
regarding internal improvements in the
South, and even then it was considered
as dead as the opitaphe from which Gen.
Butler proposed to recruit it. Mr.. Key
himself does not speak quite 80 pointedly
but letters from Georgia and his own
State received here to-day give this as
the result of his mission, which after all
was a semi-political one under the guise
of official business.

SUCCESS.

Every man must patiently abide his
time. He must wait. Not in listless
idleness, not in useless pastime, not in
querulous detection, but in constant,
steady cheerful endeavor; always will
ing, fulfilling, and accomplishing his task,
that when the occasion comes, he may
be equal to the occasion. The talent of
success is nothing more than doing what
you can do we'll without a thought of
fame. If it come at all, it will come be-
cause it is deserved, not because it is
sought after. 1t is very indiscreet and
troublesome ambition which cares so
mach about fame; about what the world
says of us to be always looking into the
face of others for approval; to be always
anxious about the effect of what we do
and say; to be always shouting to hear
the echoes of our own voices

SHIPWREcK AND MURDER,


SAN Francisco, June 4.--A survivor OF
the wreck of the lost steamship George
s. Wright, has at last been discovered
He is an Indian named Coma, and q coal
HEAVIER on board, He was recognized on
the streets at Nananimo, Friday, arrested
and brought to Victoria yesterday. The
ColOniSt of to-day says;
"Slnce the disaster Coma has constants
ly evaded the police, and until quite re-
Gently it.Wa not known that there exist
ed single survivor of the wreck. Coma
confessed to the Superintendent of Police
after being duly cautioned, that at night
the boilers of the steamship exploded
and she began to sink at once. Capt.
Ainsley, with four United States officers
and passengers got into the boat and told
Coma, who was on deck, to get in too,
The rest of the people were in bed or
tried to escape by means of another boat,
The Captains party, seven in all, pulled
ashore near Cape Canton. The party
was nearly naked and the indians gave
them blankets to keep them warm. A
day or two afterwards three canoe loads
ofIndians came to the spot and Captain
Ainsley offered the leader five hundred
dollars to convey the shipwrecked men
to Fort Rupert. Four of the Indians
were armed with muskets, with which
they killed all the whites, tied stones to
the bodies and sank them in deep water
They robbed the bodies of all the valu-
ables, including the Captains watch and
chain. They spared Coma, but toll him
if he ever dared to narrate the circum-
stances they would kill his father, Coma
thinks all the people on board who were
in bed at the time Of the explosion were
drowned as the boat went down rapidly,
The prisoner was to-day confronted by
the four prisoners who were brought by
the Rocket and have since been in Jail
here, and identified two as belonging to
the murderers."

END or THE ELLEN7ON CASE.
One Prisoner acquitted and the Jury Dis

One Prisoner acquitted and the Jury Dis
charged. -
CHARLESTON, s. C,,-Judge Waite last
night summoned the jury in the Ellen
ton cases into court, and found on inter-
rogatipg them that they could only ag-
rec upon 8 verdict in tie case of one of
the eleven persons charged with conspir.
acy. This was Abner w. Atkinson a
man over sixty years old, who was ac.
Quilted. The judge then discharged the
jury, and the remaining prisoners were
released upon giving bonds for their APP
pearance at the next term of the court.
The counsel think it unlikely that these
cases will ever again be tried. Itisnow
known that the jury stood six to six on
the question of q general acquittal; the
six whites being for and the six blacks
being against such a decision. The black
jurymen, however, were willing to agree
upon a verdict conyicting two Of the &C
cused and Rcquitting ell the rest, but TO
this the six whites would not consent.
