Eortb Carolina Election.

WILMINGTON, August 2.-The election
Yesterday was all one way, the Democratic
State ticket having no opposition. Both
houses OF the Legislature are conceded to
the Democrats by decided maioritics.
RALEIGH, August 2.-Returns come in
slowly, only twenty-three counties having
been as yet heard from. The indications
are that the Legislature will be largely Dem
ocratic, though thus far the Democrats have
lost nine members-divided among the Re-
publicans, Independents, and Nationals
and have gained six. The Independents,
however, cannot strictly be classed with the
Republicans. as most OF item will vote with
the Democrats.

The Labor Question.

NEW YORK, August 2.-The congressional
committee on the labor question resumed
its session-Nlr. Hewitt presiding. Mr.
Bartholomew, chairman OF the Social Demo-
cratic party, testifying, said be wished to
show the cause OF the existing distress. He
said the times are worse now than in 1870;
the non-producer now receives eight times
as much as the producer. He said he was
a piano-maker, and in inflated times his
wages did not go up, but after the panic
fell twenty per cent. He urged the estab-
lishmcnt of labor bureau similar to that
in Massachusetts,, and that no politicians be
allowed to have anything to do with it.

Ersrhffus5 accident /,

The most irightfnl accident known in this
vicinity occurred near Mr. Francis Hoili-
DAYS Mill, Ave miles south OF Jonesville, on
last Saturday evening, 10 party OF ladies
and gentlemen. who were returning from the
picnic at Wesiey's chapel In a two-horse
wagon. at a point near the mill the gem
tlenen got out OF the wagon to walk
up hill. At this point the road runs
parallel with the river, along the side oil
steep. high ridge, overlooking the
river from a rugged cliff. When they had
gotten about half way up the side OF the
iidge they were In q narrow piece OF road
and Immediately oyeran almost perpendicu-
lar precipice about forty feet from the river.
The front wheel Of the wagon on the lower
side run upon large fiat rock, which gave
way and slipped over the bank, carrying
with 1t the team and wagon. There were
four young ladies in the wagon, ana al.
went over in a terrible chaos. The young
ladies were Misses Hendrick and Howard;
OF Harland county, Ky, Jarrie Worley ana
Maggie Wade, OF this county. MIR. Iyier,
who was driving the wagon. was walking
at the time, and sprang to the heaas OF tne
horses and attempted to turn them ana
draw the wagon back into the road. but
he was too late, and the wagon dragged
both horses over the cliff. The harness
OF one Of the horses caught upon broken
tree about ten feet below the road, ana
held the weight OF the other horse ana
wagon upon him; his struggles, however,
tore the wagon loose, and both dropped,
leaving him suspended in midair; the
wagon fell 10 within fifteen feet OF the
ground, and again lodged upon tree and
there it was held. throwing the four ladies,
its occupants, TO the bottom. together with
one OF the horses. Miss Maggie Wade
was badly injured; her face and head
were frightfully mangled and her spine
badly effected. Her injuries, are so
serious as TO make her recovery
almost beyond hope. Miss Hendrick
received severe injuries upon her
head and face; falling upon her face, her
nose was broken and her face badly distig'
ured. Miss Worley received several severe
bruises upon the body and head, which are
not dangerous; and, strange to say, Miss
Howard escaped unhurt. The wagon was
but slightly damaged, while the horse, which
lodged upon the side OF tie cliff, was cut
down after the ladies' had been removed,
and, dropping into the river. picked himseli
I'D unhurt. The other horse was badly
bruised and cut.-Lee County Sentinel.
