Wednesday evening of last week
Mr.. Charles S. burst, who is running
a steam saw mill near Swauger' 5
mill in this county, met with pain
ful accident at his mill. The steam
had gotten low, and Mr.. burst pro-
ceeded to sharpen the saw while the
fireman raised steam. From some
cause the machinery was put in mo-
ton, and Mr.. ID. was caught by the
saw and thrown violently against
a log on the carriage, striking the
end Of the log with his head. When
picked up he was found to have re-
ceived a severe cut in the groin, an
other across the breast, and third
across the nip, the two last being to
the bone and the flesh badly torn.
Drs. Keller q Getty, Of Grantsville,
We're called and sewed up and dress
ed the wounds. Mr.. ID. is now able
to walk about the house.

AndersOn'S Story.

The story of Anderson before the
investigating com nittee Saturday
had a certain dramatic effect, but in
the light of its discrepancy with his
previous testimony, and the fact that
he has been VIGOROUSLY son the
make" the public will give credence
to his statements only 50 far as they
are confirmed by unchalIenged docu-
mentary evidence. In regard to this
documentary matter brought for
ward Saturday, and the light in
which il should be construed, (if it
is genuine), the editor of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, who was in a posi-
ton to know something of the true
inwardness of the southern business,
has the following to say:
Secretary Sherman says that up
on his responsibility and oath, he be-
lieves he did not write the letter up
on which the Fraud investigators
limited have built their hopes of
bringing him to grief. Still, there
are things in it he would have said
under certain circumstances. The
point of the letter is the statement
that he had long conversation
with Hayes, and that if Anderson
and those associated with him stood
firm, they should be provided for,
even if they had to leave the state.
In order to estimate such a letter as
this, we must understand the cir
cumstanceS, the state of public feel
ing the atmosphere in W hich-if it is
to be treated as a real letter-it was
written.
"NoW there is no doubt about it
not the least in the world-that there
was an extensive organization of
armed ruffianS, in Louisiana, whose
duty it was to raid the heavy repub-
lican parishes before the election, to
terrOrize the blacks, so that they
would not dare to come out and vote,
though all lCds quiet on election dQy.
They did this upon the presumption
that the republican parish and state
officers could not certify 'intimida-
tiOn,' and throw out the vote accor
dinghy, under the laws of the state,
unless the intimidation took place on
election day and at the polls 1t is
right here that the sensitive Ander-
son was troubled in his mind, and
wanted assurances, and had bad
dreams about forgery and perjury /;
and, whether promises were made
that if he stood firm he should be
provided for, it is certain that salts
factory provision has not been made
and hence these briny tears and this
anxiety to uncover fraud in all its
I horrors, so far as it does not reach
good and stout democrats.
Republican officials in Louisiana
were threatened with death if they
threw out the bull-dozed parishes.
We were informed by personal ac-
quaintances in that State that they
knew the members Of the returning
board would not live twenty-four
hours after they gave the vote of the
State to Hayes. No one doubted
that there was a genuine majority OF
republicans in Louisiana. The only
question was whether the State law,
providing for the reparation, so far
! as possible, of wrongs done by in

The New Railroad Depot.
II. G.. A.

It was understood from the outset
that the probable site of the depot of
the railroad would be on water street
just north of the Baltimore street
bridge, on the ground owned by
Messrs. Henderson q Laden. For
some time past negotiations have
been in progress between the officers
Of the company and the ownerS of
the land, the purpose being to effect
a lease. The price was finally agreed
upon, but as the company wanted a
six months option, and as the owners
would not agree to hold the property
for that time if satisfactory offer
should be made in the meantime, the
negotiations fell through. 1t has
been determined now to establish the

depot in the vicinity of the old cotton
factory at the junction Of Centre and
Mechanic streets. This location will
necessitate the construction of two
bridges over Wills creek, since the
company was compelled to go to the
west side of the creek in order to pass
through the NarroWs. The location
of the depot will not be so favorable
as that originally proposed, but at
some future time the road will be ex-
tended. The work will probably be
completed by the 1st of October-in
time for the Agricultural fair, and
can be opened with grand excur-
sion.- CtD16. CiUiUia1.

A LIE NAILED.

WASHINGTON, May 31.-The re-
ported interview with the President
at Gettysburg yesterday in regard to
the Potter Investigating Committee
is pronounced at the Executive Man
sion to be predicated on very slight
foundation, if any basis at all, and it
is said that the President was SO
continuously occupied with the cere-
monies and services connected with
his visit, that there was no time for
interviews, and, besides, language is
attributed to him which he could not
have uttered under any circum-
stances, especially as he now las dur
ing the electoral count in Florida and
louisiana takes no part in the ques-
ton, being content to leave the in
vestigation where it is now lodged,
and to wait the result without inter-
ference on his part in any way what
ever. 1t is also said at the EXecu-
tive Mansion that Postmaster Cen
eral Keys open letter was not sub
mitted to the President and Cabinet
before it was furnished to the press,
and that its preparation and publica-
ton rested with himself alone.

We have been assured by farmers
from every section of the county
that the prospects for large crops of
wheat and rye were never better.
The farmers pretty generally acted
upon our advice last fall, and sowed
more wheat than heretofore, and the
indications at present are that they
will reap a rich reward. With a
favorable season the corn, oats and
grass crops will be abundant.

Thursday morning heavy frost
visited this neighborhood, doing con
siderable damage to the vegetable
crop, and probably more or less in
jured the wheat and fruit crops.
From the most reliable information,
however, the damage to wheat and
rye will be slight. The corn was not
forward enough to sustain serious
damage.

concerning the prospects Of the party
from all parts of the country. The
newspapers confirm the good news

where for a successful fight. 1t is
impossible to find a sign of break

signs Of the Democrats have sent the
financial question entirely out of the
field have, for the present, at least,
pushed the Nationals aside as mere
secondary issue party and have left
room for only one question in the
fall canvass: Shall the Republicans
or Democrats be, trusted with the
Government? More than this-all
the the lukeWarm Republicans, who
were almost ready to vote a respect
able Democratic ticket just by way

into tie Republican party, where
they will work with more zeal than
they have shown for years. The Re-

old fashioned Republican principles,
to secure control of the next Con-
gress; always provided, of course,
that every man in the party works
his best to win.-N. Y. Tribune.
