31st year of his age, JAMES FRANKLIN
CARR, of Hartford county, from the effects
of injuries received by falling from the plat
form of Il car attached to freight train No s.,
of the p, w. g. B. Railroad, OF which he was

tectionate husband and father, who ever sought
to promote their comfort and happiness, by ey-
cry means in his power. Mr.. Carr had been for
several years in the service of the p, w. and B.
Railroad Company, and was regarded as one OF
its most valued and trusted officers and the es.
timation in which he was held by his associates

ced by the large deputation from their body
both from Philadelphia and Baltimore, who paid
the tribute to his memory by attending his fu
neral, which took place on Thursday, 27th June

Hayes CIVIL SERVICE REFoRM.-L, G

He failed to get the position of Auditor OF

pointed to place in the supervising archi,

swore that he rendered no service whatever
but drew his pay, and absenting himself for

he had never heard of civil service reform ex.

that the pleasing fiction is never mentioned
in official circles at Washington. Every few
days, however, the news is telegraphed from
Washington that the President is just about
to carry out his civil service order; but alas
the suspicious moment never comes, and
were it not for the newspapers the whole sub.

The Republicans, in their despair,
are talking strongly of running Gener-
al Grant for the Presidency in 1880. They
imagine that ticket with his name upon it
would sweep the country, and render re-
sort TO an Electoral Commission useless the
next time. They might as well save them
selves trouble, The people don't want a
military dictator. They repudiated Grant in
1876, on this ground, and they have not for
gotten the plundering rings that were organ
lied and fostered under his administration,
nor the contempt for law which that notable
warrior invariably showed.

Only about 100000 new silver dollars
per month have gone into circulation since
the passage of the silver bill. The Treasury
has on hand about 100000 of them, but no.
body wants them. The law requires that
100000 dollars shall be coined every month.
They are not available for export, and the dis
position of them will soon be serious mat
ter. 1t is thought that the next Congress
will be obliged to stop the coinage of silver
altogether, or decrease the amount coined.

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-The Southern
express train, which left Philadelphia at 8 80
o'clock last Saturday night for Baltimore,
was thrown from the track, near Claymont,
Del, killing the engineer, George Babe, the
fireman, George Babe, Jr., son of the en-
gineer, VIM. r. Hough, of Chicago, and
Christian Krauch, of Baltimore. The two
latter, it is thought, were stealing a ride-the
former on the engine and the latter between
the express and baggage cars. None of the
passengers were hurt. The accident was
caused by the intentional fastening of two
cross ties in an upright position on the track,
at cow guard or opening. Harley J
Brown, former employee of the road, was
arrested by the authorities, and confessed that
he placed the distractions on the track, and
tried to signal the train to stop. He thought
by saving the train and averting terrible &C.
cident he would earn the gratitude of the off.

accidents, owing to the great care and
caution of its officers and employees, but

gored to death, if a colored boy had not come
to her rescue with stick. The new arrival
diverted the bulls attention and Mrs. Ham
ilton escaped, but with severe injuries. The
colored boy was also tossed away like a
feather, but being very active got out of the
reach of the bull. DR.. E. Hall Richardson is

AocIDENTs.-A Jarrettsville correspondent
says:
Two accidents occurred near our village last
Thursday, one of which came very near prov
ing fatal. John Daughton, a laborer on the
farm of James Amos, Esq, was whetting the
blade of his cradle with the point towards him,
when it slipped from his grasp and, falling
against his abdomen, penetrated the cavity so
that it almost reached the bowels
Late the same evening Mr.. Isaac Carnes was
cutting grass in his orchard with reaper,
and in attempting to raise the blade bar while
passing small tree, the third finger of his
right hand was caught between the knives
and cut completely off Dr. NJ l.. Jarrett
dressed the wounds of both.

THE SHERMAN MISUNDERSTANDING Sher-
man, it appears, did actually write the letter
to Anderson and Weber, promising that they
should be cared for, if they carried out their
part of the programme to cheat Tilden out
of the vote of Louisiana. On Tuesday E. l..
Weber, brother of the murdered Daniel We
Der, Anderson's associate, was before the
Potter Committee, and testified that he found
the Sherman letter in box among his dead
brothers effects, and that he destroyed it,
He said he identified it as being Sherman's
handwriting, and that he was familiar with
the handwriting of Sherman. He destroyed
it at the request of his sister-in-law, who
wanted nothing preserved that would iniure
her husbands memory. The versatile Mrs.
jerks swore that the letter was not written
by Sherman, but by another person, at her
dictation, and it is therefore plain that either
Weber or Mrs. jerks lies. However that
may be, if Sherman did not actually write
the letter with his own hand, he caused it to
be written, and is therefore no less RESPONSE
BILE for it,.

worked earnestly and faithfully for the road,

A company is being formed for the purpose
of constructing the short link between Delta
and the Maryland line, three-fourths ola mile,
which will connect the Baltimore and
Delta with the Peach Bottom road to York.
Two thousand dollars is required for this, but
it will be forthcoming. Mr.. Foulk Jones, a
director of the Baltimore and Delta company,
has charge of this work. This short line is
to be leased to the new company.
1t is expected that the engineers will COM

to submit maps and estimates, by the 1st of
next September. If the necessary amount is
by that that subscribed, grading will be COM

The Republican party must be reduced
to desperate straits for reasons why it should
continue to exist, when we find its great
champion, Ha,per's Weekly, uttering such
twaddle as this:
IF the Democratic party should obtain full
control of the Government two things may
be expected: First, payment for the slaves,
and second, the reputation of the public
debt"
Such arguments might safely be addressed
to very small children, but they will be esti-
mated at their true value by intelligent men.
No sensible man believes that payment will
ever be made for the emancipated slaves, or
that the Democratic party desires to repu-
date the national debt, although the larger
proportion of it represents the stealings of
corrupt Republican office-holders.
-s-e.~--
The origin of the recent panic in relation
to an Indian war is peculiar. 1t seems that
the Chippewa Indians imported new dance
from the Cheyenne country, and were so fas-
cinated by it that they neglected hunting and
fishing, and gave themselves up entirely to
learning it. Their strange conduct alarmed
the settlers, who deserted their frontier homes
by hundreds. The Chippewas are not unlike
their pale-faced brethren, who occasionally
throw business aside and devote themselves
to the latest sport.

ELIZA PINKsToN's CONFESSIONAL really
seems that there is no end to the fraud, per-
jury and wrong by which the Republicans
carried Louisiana for Hayes. The story told
before the visiting statesmen in New Orleans
by the colored woman Eliza Pinkston, now
turns out to have been wholly untrue and
manufactured for the purpose of firing the
Northern heart and to divert attention from
the crimes which were being perpetrated in
Louisiana. 1t will be remembered that she
was carried on a sofa into the room where
John Sherman and his compeers were assem-
bled, and with dramatic effect told harrow
Ing story ofDemocratic intimidation, the MUIR
der of her husband and child, and eutraging
and manning of herself She has recently
confessed, under oath, that the Democrats
had no more to do with the murder of her
husband or the maltreating of herself than
the man in the moon; that there were no
politics in it, that it was done by colored
man, and that she was paid $500 for repeating
a story which was manufactured for her
According to Eliza's story she placed $3.50
of this money in the hands of o. H. Brewster,
one of the Hayes electors, and has never been
able to get any of it back to this day. This
little circumstance, we suppose, embittered
her and in revenge she lays bare the whole
transaction.

RECOVERY OF LOST WILL.-Timothy
Shields, colored man of this county, has for
several years past endeavored in our Circuit
Court, to obtain possession of certain proper
ty, devised to him by his former owner, Miss
Mary Stephenson, deceased, and also granted
to him by an instrument of writing purport-
ing to be signed by her. After Miss Stephen
sons death no will could be found and Shields
sued for his legacy upon the agreement he
held. His case was thrown out of court and
he was indicted and tried for forgery of the
document. Being acquitted, he renewed the
suit and lost it at the recent term of Court
Since then the will of Miss Stephenson has
been found, in which she bequeaths to limo
thy the property he claims, consisting of a
house with the furniture contained therein,
at Lapidum, and $500 in money. Timothy's
remarkable persistence in search of his legacy
has attracted considerable attention in this
county, and we therefore give below sue
cinct statement of the main facts in relation
to the matter, gathered from the testimony
in the several cases in which Timothy has
figured
Miss Mary Stephenson, an elderly maiden
lady, and her brother, formerly resided near
Lapidum, in Hartford county, and were the
owners of colored slave named Timothy
Shields. Tim Shields, as he is called general
ly, was great favorite with his mistress, was
much INDUCED by her, and seemed to apprc-
ciate the kindness showed him by faithfully
waiting upon his old mistress, as well after
the emancipation as before. Together with
his wife Mary Shields, and their children, he
continued his care of the old lady as long as
their services were needed. The brother,
William Stephenson, died in 1869, also attend
ed upon by Tim up to the time of his death.
After the emancipation Tim bought property
in the neighborhood and Miss Mary Stephen
son, as an evidence of her esteem for him, adj
vanced him some money, or became his secu-
rity.
