A letter from Cleveland, Ohio. dated
able statement:
The Ashtabula disaster and the subse-
quent death of Charles Collins, Chief En-
gineer of the Lake Shore and Michigan
Southern Railroad, are still we'll remem-
bered. The death of Mr. Collins was al
most as great a shock to this community
as was the accident itself. Relative to his
demise, a terrible story has just gotin cir
eulation. 1t is, that Mr.. Collins never
committed suicide, as was supposed at the
time, but that he was murdered, and his
lifeless body placed where it was found.
1t was thought, that on account of being
chief engineer of the road, and therefore
responsible for the condition of the bridge,
he had become insane by brOoding over
the terrible catastrophe, and taken his
own life. But it is said the gentleman
who found the body has never believed it
a case of suicide, and that J. N. Brewer,
assistant engineer of the road, is espe-
cially firm in that opinion. Hon. George
L. Converse, chairman of the joint COM
mittee of the general assembly to inves-
| tigate the accident, is also reported as be-
| ing of the belief that it was murder
Mrs. Collins, who was in Ashtabula at the
time, also believes that there was foul
play. There is no denying the fact that
| several of the intimate friends of Mr..
Collins have made up their minds that he
was murdered, and this, too, at the insti-
CATION of persons who feared what he
might give, before the legislative commit
tee, which was in Cleveland taking testi-
mOny at the time. It is claimed that for
a case of suicide the body lay too natural,
and that the covering of the bed was in
the best of order, and that on the fore
head there was an indentation, going to
show that the deceased was knocked
senseless and then murdered by shooting
through the head. It is further asserted
that the blow on the head was inflicted
by roller on which a towel was hung

ed was found broken, and the roller itseli
was not discovered for month. The
theory is that a party of roughs were
hired to make away with the engineer
and entering his residence at the dead oi
night, accomplished the terrible deco

now working on the case, and possibly
may be able to throw some light on the
question. Was Chas. Collins murdered:

Congress ought to investigate the cases

We commend to the Democrats in Con-
gress for imitation the tone of the Presi-
dent in the portion of his message devOt-
ed to the Southern question. If they will
be as wise as serpents and as harmless as
doves, or if they will be as conservative
and sagacious as President Hayes, on this
vexed topic, the bloody shirt will be a

The Stalwarts are evidently quite will
ing to make up with the President. They
begin to see that their false pretense of
dissatisfaction with him because he did
not continue to garrison. Southern State
Houses with unpaid troops and without
martial law, was not only a fraud but
mistake. Therefore they are enthusiastic
over the very moderate Indignation of the
President about Southern outrages upon
black citizens-Cincinnqti Commercial.

TAKE AND LIVE.

In one of the New England States lives
a family, which in early days bore very
humble part in life. But, as time ao-

One memOer of this family was iauy
in the early flush of womanhood, Win
nura sweet and tender face, with dark,
glowing ewes. with coral-tinted lips, with
ROSY cheeks and amber curls. One was as
graceful as a gazelIe, as llghL-neafteu as

But as the frost destroys the fairest
flower, so does disease the most perfect
woman. Disease, with its greatest malice,
slipped at her life and rioted for her de-
struction; and she, who was so young, SO
beautiful, and so full of promise, was
dragged from natures most royal throne
and prOstrated, helpless and dying be-
fore the king of terrors, who baf1ed all
skill. Physicians turned away with no
encouraging word, and from their eyes
were read these thoughts: "She soon
must die" But one morning, as death
seemed to be folding her in his icy en-
brace, and the golden sun was striving
with the purest light to make the last OF
earth appear most beautiful, Ada, slowly
opening her eyes, family and almost

WHAT ADA,s PHYSICIANS Say.

Being the family ph ysician of Ada's
fathers family, and attending her during
her sickness, had an opportunity of wit
Messing the beneficial effects of the La
cupia upon her. Since then have used
1t with great success in my practice. It
purifies the blood, equalizes the cireula-
tion, and cOrrects the functions of the
stomach and liver as we'll as of the kid
neys, lungs and heart. 1t has gentle,
stimulating effect upon the system, and
enables it to throw off all the morborofic
matter in the blood and secretions, and
assist nature in restoring patient labor
ing under almost any imaginable form
and character-0fd disease. In fact, am
almost convinced that it will very soon
be the leading medicine used by the
medical profession, If not the only one.
JOHN ROSS, NJ. D.,
Fayette County herald. [volume] (Washington [Washington Court House], Fayette County, O. [Ohio]) 1860-1???, 1878-12-12

Having been one of Ada's Consulting
physicians, and having frequently met
DR.. Ross at her sick bed, l can testify that
never in my life have seen any one so
very sick and reduced to such low state
of vitality that ever recovered, and 1 am
convinced, beyond all doubt, that had it
not been for her Lacupia she could never
have recovered.
have been so much interested in this
new found medicine that have made re-
peated and extensive chemical examina-
tions of it, and at the same time expert
mented with it both in my private and
hospital practice, and am convinced that
it is one of the greatest medicines ever
discovered. 1 should regard it as moth
ing strange if it was soon the only RENE
dy in use. R. E. BECKWTTH,

Our Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, D. c., April go, 1873

WASHINGTON, " u, April 10, 1873. .
On Saturday the Ways and Means Committee
reported to the House bill reducing the tax or
manufactured tobacco from "a cents to IS cents
per pound, on cigars from Sc ito IS per thou
sand, and on cigarettes from 81. "a to 81 25 pei
thousand. AS an Offset TO the loss of revenue sup
posed to be caused by such reduction, an income
tax of per cent. all in excess of SO 900 per an
nun. The estimated loss by reduction of tax or
tobacco, &C., is 100000 greater than the
amount expected by the income tax These fig.
ures, however, are made by parties opposed tc
the income tax, and must be taken with allow
ance.
The great contest of McGarrahan with the
New ldria Mining Company, involving title to
land of almost incalculable value was closed, as
TO testimony, before the Senate Committee on
Public Lands, on Saturday last. In three or four
weeks the Committee will be ready to report,
and unless there should be majority and minori.
ty reports this will practically be the end of the
struggle. Whatever party carries on the fight
thereafter will do so against hope. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that McGarrahan Games out of the
examination before the committee in better shape
than when it commenced.
In connection with the famous interview of
Senator Conkling, lately published, in which he
so terccy assailed the Administration, his broth
er Senators, and public men generally, it is
proper to say that op Saturday the Senator de-
clinCd to make any further statement concerning
the matter So his denial is substantially this |:
That the conversations from which the published
report was made up were private, what he said
was not correctly reported. This leaves any of
the abused parties at liberty to consider himself
insulted or not, as he pleases.
Mr.. Hayes, ii is said, will improve the occasion
of Conkling's mistake by sending to the Senate
new lot of nominations for important Offices
