Iowa has just found out that two
elections will have to be held i'm that
State this year, because members OF
Congress cannot be voted for i'm Octo-
Der under the act of Congress fixing the
second Tuesday in November, every
two years after 1876, as the date for
electing members of the House of Rep
resentatives. Ohio and Indiana and
West Virginia will also discover this i IN
time, probably, and it may be that the
Congressional election in Oregon, which
took place in June and resulted in the
choice of a Democrat, may have to be
gone over again. The only way to pre-
VENT 50 many elections is for the States
to change the time of holding their To-
cal elections to November.

superior to any other in the world.
They over the comparison in the
casualty lists of English and American
railroads. But they can crow no
longer. Statistics prove hat the roads
of America are as safe as those of any
other country, and safer than those OF
England. On Sunday an excursion

railway. collided with a freight train,
and eight persons were killed outright,

The Kansas Suicide.

The BAzoo telegraph report, yesterday
evening, contained an account Of the suicide
Of Young man in PleasantOn, Kansas, IN
the presence of the young lady who had
rejected him. The following from the Fort
Scott Monitor gives further details:
The subject Of this short article WAS for
merly a resident Of this city, and no doubt
will be remembered by many Of our people
Several years ago the young mans father
was the proprietor of marble shop on Scott
avenue near Heine's lodging house. The
particulars Of this sad affair are furnished
by a correspondent of Pleasanton, and are
a. follows:
The usual quiet of our village was dis
turbed this morning by very sad tragedy.
A Young man by the name Of Chas. Bowles.
whose father was formerly in the marble
business in Fort Scott, has, for some time.
been devoting much ofhis attention to Miss
Bessie Powell, the accomplished daughter
of King X. Powell, Of this place. When
young Bowles entered Mr.. POweIl's parlOr
last night he laid revolver on the table,
saving he would leave it there until he start
ed home. During the course OF the evening
he pressed his suit. but was refused by the
young lady, whereupon he took the revolver
from the table, deliberately laid down OF
the sofa and shot himself. the ball passing
near the heart and producing death in few
minutes.
A coroner's jury this morning returned
verdict Of self murder. 1t is thought iron
statements made previously by the youn'
man to the young lady's mother, couples
with the fact that there were two chamber
of the revolver loaded, that he intended t
make the murder q double one, but tina
something changed his mind at The last mo
ment.
The remains will be removed from tn
residence of Mr.. Powell this afternoon, an
will probably be taken to Fort Scott Tor il
terment.

Strange Accident.
GBORGErOwS.

A dispatch states that on Tuesday night
last terrible accident occurred on the Kan
sas Pacific Road, near Denver. As freight
train No. l6 was crossing long trestle
bridge it suddenly gave way, and the engine
and eighteen cars were precipitated into the
yawning abyss below. When the engine
went down there were three men upon ii.
and so far none of their bodies have been
recovered. Another queer and almost un-
heard Of thing is that no signs OF the engine
can be found, although the sand has been
dug up all about. The storm which began
about an hour before the accident was one
Of the most severe ever seen on the plains.
1t was perfect torrent Of rain and wind,
and resembIed water spout at sea. One
OF the freight cars was found six miles from
where the accident happened. The break
has been repaired, all trains are running on
time.
