can retain the House of Representatives which they
now hold, they will have full control o! Congress.

The Portage Railroad Accident.

The city of Portage had a sensation
on Thursday, and large portion of its
population was attracted to the bridge
across the canal at ketchum's Point.
There has been little necessity for
swinging that transit; as the navigation
Of the canal has been hardly as lively.
as was anticipated. But day before
yesterday the steamer Gussie Girdon
coming out of Fox River in return from
regular "trip down stream, whistled
for the bridge to be swung at about
1l:25 a. NJ, just as the freight train
due at that hour was approaching.
The bridge-tender turned the structure
and set the signal announcing that the
bridge was open. It is a small red
flag on short staff thrust into the
earth beside the track, and is altogether
insufficient. The engineer happened
to see it, however. 1t is always diff.
cult to get at the exact details Of an at.
fair of this kind; but the facts seem
to be that the engineer whistled for
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1878-05-29

brakes; that the brakemen did not
respond promptly; that the engineer
reversed the locomotive; and that the
fireman went back to set brake.
The momentum Of the train was such,
however, that it could not be stopped,
and the locomotive, tender and one car
we're precipitated into the chasm.
The surface of the canal is about twelve
feet below the level of the track, and
the water is about five feet deep. The
pilot of the engine was buried in the
bottom of the river; the rear drive
wheels rested upon the lumber at the
edge of the canal, and the forward ones
were under the water; the smoke
stack had vanished; the tender, hurled
over the engine, lay beyond aud partly
beneath it, mass of splinters, while
four of its trucks rested upon the loco
motive; and the car, standing almost
lengthwise, rested also upon the engine.
The wreck presented a woe -begone ap-
pearance yet the damage is not so great
as the aspect of havoc indicated 1t
is said that 81, 900 will make the loss
good, but this estimate is probably too
small. The train was under direction
of Conductor Watson, the englneer's
name was James Warner, and that of
engine. the G. S Swan. The fireman
and the engineer remained at their
posts until the ponderous machine was
at the brink Of the abyss, and then
escaped by 'eaping down the embank-
ment. The passengers in the caboose
did not feel any unusual jar from this
extraordinary mode of stoppage, and
were ignorant of the accident until
told of it. If this disaster shall lead
to greater caution at this point, it may
result beneficially, by preventing an
accident involving much loss of life.
1t did not detain the trains, as the
transit was made on the tracks of the
old line and the Central road. By
Thursday night the company had a
hundred men at the canal to clear away
the wreck. and the bridge is doubtless
swinging ere this. The plan adopted
was to drain the canal by means of the
locks, SO as to permit operation in the
bed Of the stream u Columbus DEM

The New York Times gives a graph
ic account of the citizen Of Oshk osh
who was troubled by goats depreda-
tions upon the shrubbery Of his lawn
The animal was owned by muscular
lrishman, and to shoot the goat under
such circumstances might lead to un-
pleasantness. The animal was proof
against arsenic and strychnine, such
posons only acting as tonlcs. Finally,
the gentleman was told to feed the goat
on dried apples and give him plenty of
water and be might hope Tor the most
disas rus results. He acted at once
upon the suggestion procured bushel
of dried apples and a bucket of water
inveigled the animal into his front par
lor, aud lighted his pipe and sat down
to witness the results, The goat de-
goured the apples and the water and
began to grow. Before the man from
Oshkosh thought ofkuch a catastrophe
the goat had swelled SO enormously
that be was unable to be removed at
either door or window; and, what is
worse, the athletic Irishman is suing
the gentleman for forclble detainer
OF his goat. The coudition of the
Democratic party to day is much in the
condition of the man IN Oshkosh with
goat in his parlor. Potter's commit
tee is in the Democratic parlor, and
boasts Of being full Of more explosive
materials than dried apples and water.
Just now they are viewed by the par
ty with something like the anxiety
which the Oshkosh man viewed the
terrific possibilities Of an explosion Of
the goat. They care as little for the
effects on the committee as Oshkosh
did about the consequences to the goat;
but the danger Of flowing up the Dem,
ocratic party entire is reason for ankle
ty. The wisdom of the Democratic
party has been sitting on the case for
some days in Westinghouse kind of
committee of ways and means-looking
for some possible relief from the trap
into which the leaders have passed and
sweled. Doors and windows are too
small, and they are seriously thinking
of taking up the floor and permitting
the committee to fall into the cellar.
If, however: they insist on fireworks,
John Sherman offers all the explosive
materials they may require, General
Noyes will gladly contribute the fuse,
and Ben. Butler will only be happy to
touch it off. BY all means let the Til
den pyrotechnics proceed.-lnter-

how long would it take to reverse the

declare that Hayes is not, but Tilden

This could be followed by complete
recognition of the latter as Chief Mag

FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.-We learn
from the Selinsgrove Times that a
frightful accident occurred at Gross
steam saw mill, near Shamokin Dam,
ON the 9th inst, by the explosion of
the boilers. Charles Elliott, Engineer,
on returning to the mill after dinner,
discovered that the water in the boil
ers was low. Instead of drawing the
fire, he recklessly or ignorantly filled
the boilers with cold water, the ter
rible result of which he did not live
long enough to know. There was a
terrible explosion and the air was filled
with all sorts of debris. Elliott was
thrown one hundred feet distant into
pile of wood. His body was
mangled and dead. A boy named
Charles Freymeyer was blown one
hundred and fifty feet into the canal
and was instantly killed or drowned,
John Gross, one of the owners of the
mill, was blown considerable distance
against heavy log, and was badly
scalded and dead when found. Yves.
Freymeyer was knocked senseless and
severely scalded, and Isaac Fetter had
his head badly cut-both expected to
die. Jacob Hendricks had his hands
scalded. The mill was ruined COM
pletely.

DIsINFECTING FOUL PLACEs.-The
ADVOCATE would call attention to the
Importance at this season of getting
rid of all vile smells about dwellings,
and make this practical suggestion:
1.-THE article commonly used to disin-
feet foul places is chloride of lime, but
in realty it is not of much value. 1t
may and generally does remove bad
smells, but the cause still remains, as
the chloride simply destroys the
gaseous emanations. The much ad.
vertised disinfectants are usually catch
penny nostrums, and unworth of
notice. One of the very best known
disinfectants is old-fashioned "cop-
peras," or sulphate of iron, which can
be had very cheap. A barrel of cop
peras would weigh probably 300
pounds, and can be purchased at whole
| sale price for cent and half per
pound. And every family ought, es-
| pecially in warm weather, to have a
supply of it on hand. A couple of
handfuls Of copperas thrown into a
bucket of water will soon dissolye, and
it can then be used freely, and it is a
valuable disinfectant. The best plan
is to fill a half barrel or keg with water
and suspend within it amoderate-sized
basket full of copperas. In this way it
dissolves more rapidly than when
thrown to the bottom of the wooden
vessel, and thus a supply is always at
hand ready for use.
