Negro 0utrages.

On Friday night Of last week an outrageous
assault was made by two negroes on the wife
of John +. Wilson, lawyer of Elkton, Nd,
and his neice Miss Bromall. The young lady
escaped and by her screams gave the alarm.
Mr.. Wilson armed himself and went to the
rescue, but the negroes escaped. Mrs. VIII
son was thrown to the ground with such vio-
lenee rs to produce n severe wound on the
back of her head, and her neck was bruised
and cut in his efforts to stiile her cries. Two
suspicious negroes were arrested and placed
in Jail, and it was with the utmost difficulty
that the officers saved them from lynching
The affair occurred within short distance of
their residence.
Mrs. Thomas Humphrey, of near Brooklyn,
Anne Arundel county, Nd, was assaulted
last week by negro man employed on the
farm, who had been sent to the house for
something by Mr.. Humphrey. He seized her
around the waist and she cried out, when the
man drew q revolver and fred upon her.
Mrs. P's. daughter took her fathers pistol
and went 10 the assistance of her mother, but
the negro ran off and has not been captured.
His name is Spencer johnson, about 50 years
old, was born in Frederick county, and is 8
feet 81 inches in height and of brown com
piexion. He was convicted in Dorchester
county, Nd, of stealing a vessel, and sent to
the Maryland penitentiary in May, 1872,
where he served a term of four years.

Terrible Accident.

The fast line on the Pittsburg, Cincin.
natl and ST. Louis Railroad, which was
running at the rate of forty miles an hour
on Tuesday night encountered freight
train at point west of Mingo Station
near Steubensville, Ohio. A portion Of
the train, consisting of one baggage, two
postal cars and two coaches, containing
emigrants, were thrown from the track
and completely wrecked. The hotel cal
and two sleepers remained on the track
and the occupants escaped serious injury
The accident is attributed to the watch OF
the freight engineer having run down,
leaving him ignorant of the time, and the
prevalence of dense fog, which prevented
either party from seeing distance OF a
hundred yards. A partial list of the kill
ed and wounded gives fifteen as killed
and fifty wounded. The three postal
agents in the Cincinnati mail car were
killed Mr.. Graham leaves a young wife
having only been married u month. Mr.
Andrews belongs to Wellsburgh, West
Virginia, and had only been two weeks in
the service. Nearly all the wounded arc
Swedish and Norwegian emigrants, and
many are so severely wounded that Their
recovery is hopeless.

Mr.. Dennis Kearney, the San Francisco
agitator, is one Of those rocket-like cele-
brities whose ascending and descending
nodes are in close proximity, whose rush.
ing luminosity speedily attains its loftiest
altitude, and then is as speedily extin-
guished, descending a blackened rod.
There is nothing in him to challenge pop
ular approval. His coarse vulgarity will
not be mistaken for genius, and his reme-
dies for the ills of the body polite prove
him to be a quack of the first order. So
ciety recognized upon the principles ad-
vanced in his theories would make of it
pandemonium. Did it never occur to him,
that, when he talks of hanging those ini-
mical to him, he may be preparing halter
for his own neck. When the public hand
is once in, at this sort of remedy for the
hard times, it might not stop at hanging
newspaper men and capitalists and office
holders only, but might let in a within to
hang vulgar and brutal social agitators as
well. Mr.. Kearney is just now a novelty,
a nine days wonder with men of similar
calibre to his own, sort of will-o'-the-
wisp. which but leads to bewilder and
dazzles to blind. He will run his little
round of morbid excitement, say his say
and subside, as many other fools have
done before him.

The Marquis of Lorne, son-in-law Of
Queen Victoria, succeeds Earl Dufierin.
as Governor General of Canada, and the
appointment is said to give much satisfac-
ton to the Canadians, to whom it is fresh
incentive to loyalty, and a renewed evil
denee of the kindly regard of the royal
family towards the Canadians, to have the
Princess Louise, the daughter of the
Queen, in their midst.

Virginia towns aud cities, or at least
many of them, utilize their convicts.
They are organized into what is termed a
Changing, and with bali and chain at
tached to them they are made to work up
on streets and other public improvements.
Chain gangs are composed of those convic-
ted Of petty larceny and other misdemean
ors and tramps, who are compelled to work
upon streets, instead Of being confined in
idlcncss during the day. The system is
an excellent one, and the city of BaltI-
more is considering the prOpriety of estab-
fishing similar organizations with the con-
victs who oYercrOwd its jail.

Ten thousand colored Methodists were
assembled in st. Michaels on Sunday, the
18th of July, eight thousand of whom
went down from Baltimore in eight steam
ers chartered specially for the purpose.
A huge tabernacle had been erected, be-
meath which as many as four different
prayer meetings were organized, and an
old fashioned shout was the result. The
noise could be heard for great distance.
They still kept up the Songs of Zion, when
they re embarked for Baltimore and other
places. They had what might be called a
"gOod time" singh old time"

At the international pigeon shooting
match at London, Tuesday, between Cap

the American champion won by single
bird, the score standing 70 to rs. The
match was for one thousand pounds aside.
The score was very close throughout, each
party by turns leading in the score, and
the very last shot fired by Captain Bog

match was a tie The victor was loudly
cheered at the result.
