JEFFKRsoNvILLE. Ind. Feb. 3.-A terrible ac
cident occurred at Deputy. Ind, this morn
ing. William Graston, aged IL, son of G. w.
Graston, miller at that place, attempted to put
belt on large fly wheel, when his clothes
caught, twisting him around the main shaft,
horribly mutilating him. The machinery
was stopped, but before he could be released
death ensued.
Mrs Mary Jones, aged so, member of one
of the wealthiest families of Vienna, Ind,
died to-day. She was an estimable old lady,
loved and honored by all in that community.
Mrs. Braugh, residing at Utica, Ind, owned
little dog, the pet of the family. At an early
hour this morning she awoke and found, as
sne supposed, her pet poodle sufferins from a
cold. Her sympathetic feeling induced her to
take him to bed, when he began swapping
and bit her badly on the arm, whereupon the
poodle was sunceremoniously hustled out of the
bed, after which he had several fits. Believing
the dog was mad, Mrs. Baugh sent for DR.. Bru-
ner and had the bitten flesh cut from her arm
to prevent hydrophobia.
Miss Sisgel mad George Pfiester brought be-
fore Squire Moore this morning, on a charge
of bastardy. He was held under $500 bond for
appearance at the next term of court.
George Hagen aud Sam Green, two colored
neighbors residing a. Gibsonville, In the ab-
sence of razors concluded to have a little game
of poker. Hagen accused Green of circulating

all of which Green denied, whereupon both

of colored women armed with razors
and other "weepins" appeared on the scene,

to the fight. and Green got away without being
seriously hurt.

ton I'm France.


London Letter in the Chicago Times.l
In spite of all hints of the American
minister, in spite of the protests of Badeau
the French republic wouldn't accord the
slightest recognition. He arrived at the
Northern station IN the dark, and was met
by a few obscure journalists and the fullest
hedged of the fiunkeys of the American
colony. Great care had been taken to secure
two of a suit OF ten rooms that the prince OF
Wales occupied when in Paris, and the an
nouncement sent to the Paris papers that
the ex-president of the United States was to
occupy the princes apartments. Finally,
when every artifce had failed IN inducing
the French to take him up, Noyes sent an
appeal to the Americans in town to meet
him to confer over a proposed banquet to
the ex-president. A few parvenus met and
decided that grand dinner should be given
TO him, and that the guests should pay so
francs ($6) for the privilege of eating the
dinner. The history of that extraordinary
mingllDg was, | believe, to some extent
made known at the time, but l doubt
whether proper idea OF 1T was ever sent
forth. With one accord the Paris press ridi-
culed it, and for weeks the cafes rang with
merriment over it. 1t was hardly surpris-
ing if, after that, no notice was taken of the
distinguished citizen by the French Of
ficials. 1t may be said that MacMahon
purposely put a slight upon Republican, as
he was just at that time aiding his uncon-
otituIiOudl " tuc IcpuuLS
But during the weeks that Grant remained
the city, walking about the streets with a
look of ineffable ennui on his face, not a
single Republican leader called on him or
intimated knowledge of his existence.
Some rich Californians made big fete for
the hero, but the attendance of the French
was slim. Noyes gave a reception and two
of the cabinet ministers attended-De
Fourton to gossip with the Spanish beauty,
Mrs Sickles, and the minister of foreign at
fairs as a matter of etiquette. Grant him

He fell into free speaking on certain oc-

the same fate met him. Kramer called in
his diplomatic privileges and used every
artlfice to make q sensation with his kins-
man, but unsuccess fully. The fact is,
Grants reputation in Europe is just what it
was during the Babcock exposures, the San
Domingo and other scandals, and these old
fashione dand well-ordered Governments and
peoples resent the intrusion of such person
in their realms. Diplomatically, of course,
they are bound TO treat him at least court
eously-in no case have they gone a step
beyond the most formal exigencies. In
Rome the young king refused to see him
for a long time, until the ministry convinced
him that it would imperil the good under

The Origin of ,he Plague i'm Russia-Its
Terrible Doings.
LONDON, Feb. 3.-The origin OF the plague in
Russia is thus given: A Cossack returning
from the war to Wetlissinka, brought his lady
love shawl, which she wore two days, and
sickened with all the symptoms of the plague,
and died. The following four days other
members of her family died. The disease
spread rapidly, the local authorities not pay
ing any attention to it until half the inhabi
tants died, and the remainder were unable to
bury tho victims. Then when the epidemic
had assumed serious dimensions, energetic
means were taken for preventing its spread
ing, and strict quarantines were established,
firstly in the towns and villages, shutting Off
streets where the plague reigns from the
rest of the place. and secondly, by surrounding
villages with troops so that nobody is allowed
TO pass in or out. The panic in Russia is al
most incredible. Every class and station in
ife have petitioned for the entire cessation of
all Intercourse, even postal communication,
between the rest of Russia and the Volga.
Letters sent from Astrachan and Gearitzin are
not received by persons to whom they are ad-
dressed. Some people even refuse to take pa
per money, fearing the germ of infection
might be communicated through 1t. 1t is al
most impossible to describe the terror which
has taken possession of the Russian people,
The sanitary commission has proposed to shut
on the volga line from all intercourse with
western Russia, and permit communication
only under quarantine. The Russian railway
cars are not admitted TO German territory.
The export of grain from Poland Will suffer Sc
verely from this restriction. The Roumanian
Government is considering the expediency of
prohibiting the transit of Russian provisions
sent to victual the Balkan army.
Continued Spread Of the Dreaded Plague
LONDON, Feb. 3.-A Vienna correspondent
says: The German ambassador at ST. Peters
burg has advised his Government that the
plague is spreading rapidly. 1t mas passed the
limits where, according to official accounts,
