NJ. Gillespie Refuses 70 Allow tho Had

The following dispatch from Gen. J
Floyd King explains itself It will h
remembered that the news Of Mr.. Gil

Convention was received here upon theI
occasion of the Democratic mass meet!
inp on the goth of October. In the

and ~ coincidence would have 1t, the]
dispatch came Just In time to throw al
damper on the enthusiasm Of the Radi-
cal State nominees AZ they stepped from
the boat last Wednesday morning:
RODNEY, Miss, Oct. rs, 1879.
Col. Ed Robertson:
Col. Gillespie refuses to allow his
name to be put on the Republican tick
ct for Lieutenant-GovernOr.
J. FLOYD KING, st. Joseph, La.
We feel proud Of this decision on the,
part Of Col. Gillespie. The South Is in
no condition to have our people divided
on any Of the political questions that
now exist. In fact the South has but
one policy--one actuating principle
and that Is to fight the Radicals 1" whaf-
ercr shape or form they may appear' Lose
the next Presidential contest, and this
fair sunny land may bid farewell to
every prospect of prosperity. No man
of common sense will deny that the
Radical party Frustrated our country
and plunged the whole people into debt
ii liability that will take years of strict
economy to liquidate. The Radicals
have wrought this misery with bloody,
grasping hands, and now with the as
suranCe OF the devil himself they come
not only in the form Of their wolf.mark-
oil ears, but In various and vague forms,
appealing for the sutfrages Of the peo-
pie with slanderous tongues
Out with such venom0us subtcrfuges!
Rally aro@nnd the standard, and let's
carry the dear old South solid for the
Democracy Let none prove recrcant
to the trust of his home and native soil.
Our patriotism demands 1t, our future
greatness lcmandsit, our liberty demands
1.-THE full and free emancipation Of
tho lacerated Southern heart from tho
dospotism of radicalism and its corrupt
elements Of vice and iniquity.

republicans, democrats and greenbackers were
Weightman, chairman OF the registrars OF
voters, testified that there were very few names
on the voting lists last fall that should not have
been there. They had all been ciphered down
to th1rty-seYen cases, and but two were con.
victed OF fraud. In regard to the reading and
writing test for voters. the witness said he was
In favor OF 1t because 1t compelled to great
extent, the males OF the state to learn to read
and write. In regard to the pOll-taxes, he said
that they were. to considerable extent
paid by party organizations or candidates.

A Wrecked Excursion Train

FIt f6heONS KILLED., TWO INJURED.
A serious accident occurred upon the Atlantic
City narrow gauge railroad yesterday after
noon, about O'Clock, which resulted In the
death OF five persons and the injuring Of two
others slightly. AT half past O'Clock special
excursion train left Philadelphia for Atlantic
City, consisting OF nine cars, and containing
about three hundred men, women and children.
freight train was coming up from Atlantic
City, and expected to reach Clemepton to allow
the excursion train to pass them there When
nearing Clementon the excursion train was
ne heard coming at the rate OF 80 miles an hour.
The engineers OF both trains saw each other
and Whtstled down brakes at about the same
time The freight train slowed up considera-
Dly, but the excursion train was going at the
rate OF about fifteen miles an hour when the
two engines struck. There is an embankment
OF about nine feet where the accident occurred
and the freight train was partly knocked over
it. The excursion train remained on the track
Both engineers and firemen on the Iocomotlve;
jumped of their engines before the collision
occurred and escaped injury. When the whiS-
Ties oleW the conductor on the excursion train
rushed to one OF the brakes as did also the
brakemen. The nine cars OF the excur-
sion were considerably damaged and the plat
forms OF most OF them smashed. The con-
ductOr, two brakemen, deaf mute boy and the
news agent, who were standing upon the plat
form, were almost instantly killed, being
1ammed In between the debris. The passen-
gers who were In the cars were not Injured
except two, who were slightly hurt. There
was very great excitement In the cars when the
collision occurred. Women screamed, and 1t

vented from jumping out OF the windows After
the train had stopped the men were compelled
TO get out through the windows and drag the
women and children after them in the same
way. About two hours after the accident trains
arrived and number OF the passengers took
train for the seashore, while other took
the train which brought them to Philadelphia
shortly after eight o'clock last evening. The
engine OF the passenger train was completely
smashed. The cause OF the accident appears
upon inquiry. to have been gross carelessness
on the part OF some Of the Camden officers of
the road. The train orders sent to the freight
conductors were so improperly worded that
they were misc0nstrued. The following are the
names OF the killed: Conductor Carl WOrthing.

stormy Interview at NarraganSefe
Pier XpSterdav


NEW YORK, August l5.-The Sun publishes
from Two sources an account OF a meeting be-
tween ex-Goy. Sprague and his wife at Nara
gaDsett Pier, X. l., yesterday, the substance OF
which IS as follows:-"Mr. Sprague met his wife
here to-day and had stormy interview with
her, In which he charged her with having been
unfaithful to her vows, with some one whom
he refused TO name. There is no mistake at all
about this, as 1t was In the presence OF wit.
neSseS. The governor took charge OF his chill
dren and said that they should never again be
in the custody OF such woman. All SORTS OF
rumors prevail here, but they must be taken
was most unpleasant one. He Is said to have
accused Mrs. Sprague OF poisoning the minds of
his children against him, and alternating the
affections OF the boy Willie through the in.
fiuence Of the German tutor Linck. Mrs
SpTague In turn accused her husband OF general
brutality, when under the influence Of MQuor
and OF circulating base and unfounded stories
against her character. She said that on more
life from him, referring distinctly to one oc-
casion when he had pointed loaded pistol at
her threatening to shoot her.
GOV. sPRAGUE REFERRED TO SENATOR coNKLING's
INTIMACY
with Mrs. Sprague, and she repelled any inti-
nation OF wrong-dotng on her part with great
indignation. Mrs. Sprague did not come here
with the object OF seeing her husband but only
10 make nnal arrangements for collecting at
Canonchet what belonged to her there, and re-
moving her trunks to Providence. Her friends
assert that she has consulted the very best
legal advice, and that her return to the Sprague
mansion was opposed by her friends and coun-
sci. Her husband Is reported to have asked
"Do you intend TO return to Canonchet?" and
her expressing fears for her personal safety to
have said: 81 have never harmed any one, and
you are SAFE" After her children had been
taken away she was greatly agftated, and dc
cided to follow them. It is alleged that after
nightfall she took carriage and drove back to
Canonchet.
