rated their portion of the ticket in open
Convention, but the Independents and
sreenbackers have sprung up without
ny sponsors for themselves. They are
/, ieir own nominees. The people OF
:reenville will do well to bury the whole
.ket so deep that no man on twill ever

herself and to the State to crush this

D,mocrat and Of all good citizens.

A Horrible Death.

A correspondent of the Charleston Nears
and Courier, writing from Georgetown, s.
c., gives the following particulars of the
burning to death of Mrs. Easterling in
that place on Friday morning, 1st in.
stant:
The fire fiend would seem to have sim
gled out our town as the special mark Of
his devouring rage. Our community
has lust witnessed another disastrous
conAagation, this time attended with
tragedy of the most heartrending de-
scription. At o'clock this morning
light was seen on the inside OF the ice
the northern end of which was used as a
dwelling by herself and son. In few
moments the flames burst forth, and
spread with frightful rapidlty over the
Whole building. Mrs. Easterling's son
managed to escape by dropping from the
balcony of the third story to the ground,
but she herself, all hope of escape from
the rear being cut off, seemed completely
dazed by the horror of her situation.
Before the flames had enveloped the
frame of the balcony she re-entered the
house and emerged again walking and
acting like q person in o dream, and
paying no heed by word or sign to the
aponized entreaties Of the few bystanders
who implored her to let herself drop,
promising to break the violence of the
fall. Her son, lad some IL or IA years,
maddened at the awful sight of his moth
er's misery made the most frantic exer-
tions to extricate himself from the grasp
of the friends who held him that he might
rush back into the fire and rescue her
from death. At length the flames sur
fierce sheets around her. Clasping her
hands over her face and then throwing
them out in supplicating gesture she
sank backward into the fiery embrace.
The fact that no means of escape was
provided is due to the unaccountable
DELAY in giving the alarm and to the fact
that no ladders were near at hand.
The origin Of the fire, at first wrapped
in mystery, is explained by Master Joe
Easterling as follows: The night being
cool, and there being no chimney in the
house, fire was built by himself and
mother in box filled with wet earth
and sawdust. On retiring water was
poured on it and the box showed under
the stairway. There can be no doubt
that after smouldering for three or four
hours the few sparks which had escaped
extinguishment burst into blaze, which
swiftly grew into seething mass of
flames, filling the interior before break
ing through to the outside. The whole
community is saddened by the awful
calamity, marked by circumstances of
such appalling horror, and the intensest
sympathy is manifested for the orphan
and penniless boy who only abandoned
his mother in the hope of obtaining the
means of saving her, and who was only
prevented by force from rushing back to
meet his own death.

TIE ELECTIONS ON TUESDAY.

UP to the hour of going to press we
have been unabled to obtain by telegraph
any news concerning the Indians and
Ohio elections, although we have made
diligent efforts to do so. The Associated
Press dispatches, in the Greenville Neps
of yesterday, stated that the returns up
to midnight Tuesday indicated consider
able Republican gains in many sections
of both States. Both parties, however,
claim the victory in Indiana, while it is
generally conceded that the Republicans
had carried Ohio.
A very large vote was polled in both
States, and it may yet turn out more
favorable to tho Democracy than things
now indicate.
The election in West Virginia, which
was held on the same day, went Demo
cratic by very large majority.

Thompson-It would delight me to meet

dress them. I, therefore, speak to them
by telegraph as must at present. It
was my opinion in 1876 that If all the
Ohio Democracy had known and be-
lieved in the strength of their cause
Ohio would have been carried for the
Democratic ticket. The error should not
now be repeated. IF every man will
measure his own effort and sacrifice in
the pending canvass by an extraordinary
standard, the Ohio Democracy will give
victory in advance of the National con-
test.

A FRIGHTFUL COLLISION.
Tho Result Of had Management OF an
Excursion Train.
PITTsBURG, October i

PITTsBURG, October 10.
A frightful collision occurred last
night on the Pennsylvania Railroad. near
the Twenty-eighth street crossing, by
which nine people were killed outright.
Eleven moro have died since, making i'll
all twenty deaths, while as many more
are dangerously hurt and, physicians
say, cannot recover. In addition to
these there are large number who are
slightly injured.
The first section of an accommodation
train going East left the Union Depot at
1l.31 p. M, having large number OF
participate in the closing exercises OF the
Exposition and to witness the demon
stration. The back platform was 30
crowded that the rear light could not be
seen by the engineer Of the section fol-
lowing. The first section stopped at the
regular station at 28th street, where they
were delayed on account of another train
which was on the next block. The sec
ond section came along at good speed,
but, owing to the crowd on the back
platform Of the first section the signal
lights were hidden from view, conse.
quently the engineer of the second did
not see the train ahead of him until ne
was so near it that his train could not be
checked in time to prevent collision,
and the engine went crashing into the
rear coach of the first section packed
with human beings. The engine buried
itself to the very cab windows among the
screaming, suffering men, women and
children, mangling all who were in its
course. The boilerhead of the colliding
engine was burst off by the shock, and
scalding water and steam poured over
the occupants of the cab as if bent on
completing the terrible work that had
gone before. 1t is impossible to describe
the fearful scene that followed. The
means of the dying and wounded and the
shrieks, of those who had lost their
friends were frightful. Word was imme-
diately telegraphed to the mayors Office
for assistance, and twenty-five policemen,
with full corps of physicians and wag-
ons, were dispatched at once to the
scene of the disaster, where they were
soon busily employed in alleviating the
suferings of the victims and clearing
away the wreck. The wounded who
were unable to care for themselves were
carried to the Soldiers Hospital, but q
short distance from the place of the acci-
| dent.

Attorney.General Youmans attended
the Darlington Court last week in the
Cash-Shannon duel case, but failed to
give out bill against any of the parties.
The reason assigned for this course is
that Ii. could not obtain witnesses to send
before the Grand Jury, and it is generally
thought that this will be an end of the
much -talked-of prosecution. 1t seems
strange to US that out of the thirty or
forty persons present the Attorney Gen
erai could not procure the necessary tes-
timony. 1t is much to be regretted that
the prosecution had not been vigorously
pushed, for the law in this regard should
be vigorously enforced to the end that
the pornicious custom of duelling may
be forever stopped in South Carolina.

cratic majority of $1,000 in the city,
whilst the Times says lit is useless to
disguise the fact that so lalge reglstra'

Judge T. 81. Cooke is Greenbacker
right. His desire for Office is so strong
that he runs for two offices ut ono time.
If he is not able to get the position of
Secretary of State on the Greenbacker's
ticket. he will content himself with seat
in the State Senate from Greenville
County as Greenbacker. The sensible
people of the State may perhaps conclude
to let some person who only runs for ono
Office at a time have these respective po-
sitions, and not take the Judge from his
practice

REpuBLICAN MEETING.

Tie Republicans are to have a meeting
at Anderson G. H. on Thursday, the 2sth
instant, at which Gen. J. c. Stolbrand,
the Republican nominee for Congress in
this District, will deliver an address.
There will also be other Republican
speakers, and a hearing of Democratic
speakers in reply has been arranged.
We hope as many white and colored
people will be present as possible that
the truth may be heard by all.

THE REPUBLICAN, POLICY.

Those who imagine that there is little
or no contest this year over the State and
slectoral tickets in South Carolina are
very badly mistaken. Only few days
ago Gen. Stolbrand, the Republican
nominee for Congress in this District,
gave the following intimation of'Repub.
iican policy in this campaign,
"As Republicans, knowing our adver-
saries by their acts in the past, 1t be-
hooves US to prepare against Democratic
arithmetic in the future, for 1t is by this
science that the candidates upon the Re-
publican ticket have been counted out,
however large the majorities given them
at the polls. We must appoint at once
efficient enumerators in every township,
to make Lists of the voters, and designate
therein all who are willing to disclose to
the enumerator their preferred ticket.
By repeating this classification of the
voters at the polls, by taking down the
name of every voter when in the act OF
casting his ballot, the enumerators and
poll watchers will be enabled to make
oath, not only of the number of votes
cast, but also to call before any investi-
eating tribunal every Republican voter
who appeared and cast his ballot at the
election, and thus prove our case and
prevent,opponents, however expertin the
Democratic election arithmetic. from
zach walk over, as by our neglect and
default, they have had heretofore"
From this it will be seen that the most
thorough organization is being effected
by the Republicans throughout the
State. The only remedy for this is full
vote by the Democrats and careful
watching of the polls. We can beat the
Republican party and we must do it.
Every man owes histimo and service to
the State in this cause. 1t will never do
for moment to run the risk letting the
old thieves and robbers back into power
in South Carolina.

RICHMOND, Va, October s.
An account has reached here of an out
rage perpetrated few nights since on a
woman named Mrs. Massie, or her
daughter, living in Nelson County, by
two white men, Geo. Lowry and his
brother-in-law, David Thomas, the latter
of whom is said to have robbed the
house while Lowry committed the inhu-
man net. The parties are reported to
have been arrested, tried before justice
and committed to Jail, but the officer
having them in custody was over-power-
ed by an armed body of citizens, who
executed summary justice by hanging
both culprits to tree near Massie's mill
in Nelson County.
