WE take the following from the
PlainviIle IN. j. Bmlictia of the 18th
ult. 1t is an account Of a sad rail
road accident which resulted in the
death of Mr.. Jacob Clark, brother OF
Mrs. .Ihos. Gregory, Of this city;
"The accident occurred on Friday
the 9th, at the place on Long Island
where he has for some months been
at work. He had had some trouble
with his employer short time ago,
and had been compelled to sue for
the wages due him. His suit had
been successful and he had Just re-
ceived notice that n letter containing
check for the amount due was
awaiting him at the postoflice there.
He started out, at the request OF n
friend, to help the latter get a load
of wood from the woods in the yicin-
ity, intending to stop at the post
office on the way, and alterward to
come home 70 Plaindeld on the next
day.
As they were driving along in an
ordinary wagon, Clark sitting at the
back with bis legs hanging outside,
and the friend in tie front driving,
they came to n railroad crossing,
which being in curve is considered
particularly dangerous, it being inn
possible for anyone near the cross
ing to see approaching trains. At
some distance in front OF them n
woman was walking, and from her
position was able to see the two mems
danger. She waved them back with
her handkerchief, bat they, suppos-
ing she was merely carrying on an
idle Irritation, drove right on. They
were right on the crossing when the
train came in sight. BY an invol-
uutary movement Of fright the man
driving checked the horse for mo.
ment, and almost ut the instant, the
engine struck the wagon squarely
on the bub Of the hind wheel. Clark
was thrown seyenty.t0o feet by ac-
tnal measurement, and was instantly
killed, tie back Of bis head being
crushed in, aud a leg and arm brOk-
en-, aud other injuries inflicted. The
driver was thrown even further than
Clo,Ir eeyapty-piult feet. but was

Their efforts will not be made
from choice, hut from necessity.
Thus, while we see universal
endorsement of Hancock as
Presidential caudidate, the I'M
portance Of succe IS ought to pro-
woke our party to incessant and
enthusiastic effort. The most
trivial hitch In the race may
prove of incalculable injury to
our party. The opposition have
been ir possession Of this gov
eminent for twenty years, ana
the leaders recognize the deadly
blow that defeat would lniilct
upon them, and no matter no"
inyulnerable the character OF
Hancock may be, the Repuoll
can party prefer the per]ure>
Garfeld,to rule the nation Ie
that end they will bend all thel
movers. Therefore, we lnsls
upon an active campaign. L
will never do to be over conn
dent OF winning the victory

REGISTER ! REGISTER!

Let every voter in this parish
remember that unless he has
registered, or does register, that
he cannot have o voice in the
coming Presidential election.
The law requires those who have
changed wards since they last
registered, toshave their names
enrolled again in their new
wards. Therefore it behooves
every one to see that he is law
fully registered.
It is not at all prudent for the
people Of Morehouse to sit idly
by and hatter themselves that
the election is sure to result 10
favor of Hancock in this parish.
1t may, and it may not. In other
parishes of Louisiana the oppo-
sition are at work. Besides, it
may be necessary for our parish
to poll her full strength in order
to elect our gallant Congress
man. His election, over any
Republican, no Democrat will
deny is all-important, Hence
the necessity of constant ane
persistent vigilance. Again, We
urge every suffragan in the par
lsh to register and be cautious
that he registers legally and pro
perly.
