Running street Cars with Com.
pressed Air.

49,"
Throughout The winter the Second
Avenue Railroad Company has been K
perimenting with q car driven by com
pressed air, confined in eight tubular
steam receivers placed beneath the car.
The experiments, which have been made
on the upper part Of the track, where the
grades are very steep, are said TO have
been completely satisfactory. The car
can be started and stopped by n lever,
and the entire mechanical arrangement is
very simple. The directors also assert
that they can store sufficient air In the
receivers to make = complete circuit OF
Manhattan Island II necessary. At pres
ent several hours are occupied in chang
ing the receivers, but machinery has been
ordered which will, it is expected, per-
form the work In n minute. II the
experiment continues to be successful We
may soon see street cars running without
horses or steam either. The operation
OF the compressed air Is noiseless.

Hon. A. S. Colyar. of Tennessee, who
was member of the Confederate Con-
gress, supplies an item of history in regard
to the Hampton Roads commission. The
letter is dated Nashville, Tenn, January
8, 1877, and, which has just been made pub
lie, is addressed to Hon. r. M. 7. Hunter,
OF Virginia. and is as follows:

the close of night session, Mr. Baldwin
asked me to take walk with him, saving
when we got out on the capitol grounds.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A LITTLE GIRL
Erna, the little daughter of Gen. Jno. G..
Meem. died suddenly in Shenandoah, Fri
day. under the following circumstances:
On last Friday Mrs. Gen; John G. Meem
was returning nome from Mt, Jackson in
a pony phaeton, and when ascending the
hill at Mt. Airy one of the lines was
switched from her hand Fearing that
the horse would become unmanageable
and would throw them down an embank-
ment, she put the children out. The
younger one was dropped so near, that one
of the wheels ran over it's foot. Mrs.
Mems jumped out al6 picked up
the child. The older child, very ;rter-
esting little girl of about four years, ask d
it's mother whether the baby was hurt and
almost immediate remarked, Il ain so
sick.'' Mrs. Meem noticed that the child
appeared to be giddy. She picked it up
and carried it short distance and laid it
uoop the grass. MEDICAL aid was at once
Summoned, but life was extinct. There
was no bruiss about the child's BODY and
the cause Of its death will meyer be poe;-
lively known. Gen. Meem was in New
York at the time and reached home on
Saturday afternoon.

statements of Weber and Anderson were
read to him by Mr.. Hiscock. The ex-Gov-
erncr of Louisiana is rather tall and has
GOOD figure. His we'll kept, though grey,
hair, curls becomingly about his neck and
his long heavy moustache (he wears no
beard) is also carefully curled, his nose IS
prominent and would be good one but
for slight inclination towards the left
side of his face Altogether the Governor, :"
as the committee were careful to call him,
is handsome man, tho, on close scrutl-
ny there is something about the face that
suggests distrust and fails to impress IA
yorably. A Staunton man at first sight OF
his comely head and good profile would
say, chow like Tom Doyle be is" then
taking in the sinister expression OF the
face he'd think no it must be some one else
he's like. He speaks with the ease, huency
and courtesy of a man of cultivation and is
ingenious in arranging his sentences so as
to obscure their meaning, and then again
your Stauntonian thinks Of Mr.. Doyle, I'M
til Kellogg gets trapped into something
that looks very much like lying and then
he is off the track again and concludes The
is like some body l know, but who
is it." His dress is blue coat, light
pants, white cravat, no vest, but a
very nice SHIRT bosom and he is upon
the whole quite hobby in appearance
and except when members of the commit
tee bore particularly hard upon him, main
tanned his equanimitY we'll. He got rid OF
Anderson's statement that there was a
conspiracy with Kellogg to p event an
election in East .Feliciana parish, and
that he, Kellogg, had told him. that he
was Governor of Louisiana ana controlled
the courts and would fix matters to suit
himself, by merely pronouncing the state
ment false, tho the committee seemed to
| think that AndersonS statemt'.t was as
! much to be depended upon as kellogg's.
I In going over the conversation between
himself and Spencer, the carpet-bag Ala
bama Senator, i'll reference to the money
paid the Returning Board for making the
false returns, he was very forge full. When
| Mr.. Hiscock asked if there w.. d phono-
| graph in the room, and Mr.. Potter sug-
gested if there had been there would have
| been truthful report, the r. porters and
spectators smiled, and the COVE nor nodded
| but said nothing. His explain lion of his
| signature to the forged election rtlicate
WAS very bungling one, in which he
threw the blame on his secretary, who he
said got up the new certificates, and
brought them to HIM to sign, which he die
in "a hurry, without looking at them, anc
if he suspected anything wrong after
wards, did not think it was his business te
| inquire into 1t and stir up scandal, but
said it was not common thing in his adj
ministration for names to be forged to i'm.

The general impression left on the mind

mittee also was that the plausible Ex-Gov.

Correspondence of the Staunton VINDIcAToR)
CRAB BORON, Highland county, !
July 18th. !
We were visited with terrible thun-
der storm on the 18th inst. Several trees
were struck around us, within a short dis
lance. The Crab Bottom Mills were struck
at the comb of the roof, tearing it up some
six feet. 1t then ran down a rafter, tear
ing it to pieces and scattering the frag-
ments over the floor; passed out near the
cave of the roof and IAN down the outside
without doing any damage, and came in
again at the door on the second floor to q
bunch of grain sickles. 1t then entered
one of the studding, shiyering it and set
ting fire to gum coat hanging against the
wall. There were nine persons in the mill
at the time and, strange to say, none were
hurt. Mr.. s. S. Waybright, the miller,
was within six or eight feet of where 1t
struck the studding, but was not hurt, ex-
cept being stunned by the shock.
We are having rain every day-bad time
for harvesting, as grain is very ripe and in
great danger of being injured.

A VETERAN APPEALS.

meeting held in the county in August to

| A call being made for another reading OF
! the resolutions Mr.. Paul took them and
read them with great emphasis. AS he,
after reading the one refusing to send de-

Paul finished the reading and the vote was
about being taken, Mr.. Harris said:

up the Democratic party"
| Mr.. Pau1-No! 1t is a question OF
whether Washington shall dictate to the
| Adjusters of Rockingham.
AS the vote was about to be taken the
excitement was intense, the applause and
cheers having been in sound so evenly di
vided throughout the meeting, that it wa!
| impossible to tell which side would carry
it. When the chairman put the question
the vote, like the others, seemed nearly di
| vided, though the chairman declared that
the resolutions were adopted.
Judge Harris called for a division, anC
several active Adjusters called oat in OPP
position to it, but the chairman said thai
the vote was so close that the demand
should be granted. On dividing, the show
of hands against the resolutions didn't
amount to thirty. out Of three hundred
