The Orangeburg democrat. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1879-1881, 1880-07-16

The election Of eX-Postmaster Gen.
eral Marshall Jewell to the chairman
ship of the Republican National Com.
mittee, will not have q tendency to
mollify the anger Of the supporters Of
"the old commander )" for jewell left
Grants cabinet in huff, and the
breach between him and Grant has
never been closed. There is as yet
no indication that any of the Grant
managers propose to General Garfield
any re j support, and If their opposi-
ton and superb skill is lacking tho
Democrats will have walk-over
sure enough.

A Radical paper IN Delaware recent
ly published the following which is an
indication of the proposed course of
conduct of the campaign: cit is time
that all men who love this land should
vacatc any ground that leads to q
mere discussion Of men. II is time
to awake TO a discussion of principles,
and to recognize that this battle in
November is simply the adjourned
battle of Gettysburg. Seventeen years
ago the rebels failed to defeat Han
cock: failing there, they have not CIV
en- up the onset, but have simply
changed their line Of attack and now
ask him, instead Of Longstrect and
Hill, to lead them in their endeavor
to gain possession Of the Govern
ment."

A Lancaster young lady playfally
threw her arm around the waist of n
lady friend, and pair of scissors
hanging therefrom severed an artery
in her arm and she nearly bled to
death. This accident should teach
young ladies that throwing arms
around the female waists is danger
GUS piece Of business that should he
performed solely by the male sex.
The latter are strong and brave, and
don't mind having and artery sever
ed now and then for the good of the

Two Girls Horrible Death.

Two 1irlS f1OrriDlS Ueatn.
PoUGukEEps1E, July Cit was only
brief dispatch that told of terri
bic accident Oh the draw bridge on
the Hudson River Railroad trek, near
DGtclies Junction, yesterday morning.
Little Bella Crismier was the dapgh-
ter ofMary Jane Williams by for
mer husband. She was 6 years of
age. In company with Annie Brad
ley, her half-sister, who is IA years
old, and Mary O'Bricn, n playmate 8
years old, she started 'at 10 in the
morning for ranlble:s = Their home
is situated just North Of the draw
bridge. On the East side Of the
bridge, at q place called Byrnsville,
is an old mill, where tle little ones
were accustomed to play. 1t was for
this mill they started, and they had
TO cross the draw-bridSe in order to
reach il. They were on the down
track. Suddenly one OF them turned
as they got on the bridge, and saw n
freight train coming from the North.
All three stepped across on the up
track TO get out Of the way Of the ap-
preaching train. Jusssthen Annie
Bradley looked Southland saw the
Saratoga express coming North on
the same track that they were on. At
this time little Mary 0'Bricn was a
little distance from them and nearer
TO the approaching train than they
were. Annie cried out to- the C'Bri-
en- girl to hurry back or the bridge,
and taking Bella Crismicr by the
hand, started back with her. The
engineer Of the Saratoga express,
Archie Buchanan, saw them, but it
was TOO late, He reversed his en-
gine AID the air brakes were applied,
but all to no purpose. The engine
struck the little O'Brian girl first and
every car on the trainran over her.
1t next struck Bella Crismier, and the
engine and every cnrsran over her.
Annie Bradley was ongcthc East side
and had just stepped or the end of
the bridge, and received only slight
bruise on the ankle. S
AS soon as possible the cars we're
stopped, and the ,rain ends picked
up the remaius of the Creatures.
Their skulls we're crusilsn, and their
legs and arms were ground to pieces.
All that could he found of the remains
were placed on the side Of the track
and Coroner Schenck, Of Masteawan,
was given notice and held an inquest,
the jury returning q verdict in accor-
dance with the pitiful facts. The
main witness was Andie Bradley, and
her testimony was given at the home
Of the dead children, amid the shrieks
and meanings of the parents. and was
to q certain extent incoherent. Cor
oner Schenck did not deem it, impor.
tant to summon Engineer Archie Blu,
chanan rs witness, although he
could probably have told a much
clearer story OF the horrible affair.
Othcr evidence showed that the train
men did all in their power to avert the
calamity. The funeral OF The victims
occurred to-day and was attended by
a large number Of people. Mary
.O'Bricn had mother but no father.

Portland Water COMPANY

This company has, during the past year, ex-
tended its second IA inch) main into Portland,
a distance of nine miles, and has connected
the same with the system Of distribution pipes
in the city thus affording two independent
seperate mains. having a capacity estimated at
100000 gallons per day. In addition to the
extension of the new main, there has been laid
during the seasonsover three miles of distribu-
ton, two, four, six, eight and twelve inch iron
pipe, making total length of over sixty-five
miles of main and distribution pipes. Bnt
before the company can realize the full ad-
vantage to be derived from its second main,
quite u large amount of work is required to be
done in cleaning out and Strengthening the
conduit leading from the lake to the lower
gatehouse, from which point the two mains
extend into Portland. Also in order TO divide
the city supply into a high and low service,
So extensions and changes in the present
pipes must be made in the early spring. The
lateness of the season when the new main was
finished prevented the completion of the whole
improvement contemplated during the present

THE GREAT CRIME.
Vic. 70 OF Some Prominent Democrats
and Greenbackers.

/ PRESS reporter was oOnversing with sew
era prominent members of the fusion party
Tue day. to obtain their views regarding the
pre-. 5nt position assumed by the Governor and
Council in rejecting the returns Of the several
Republican towns and cities Mr.. Turner of
the New Era expressed himself as believing
that the matter might not be just but thought
it legal, and if the Governor and Council had,
as he understood, acted according to the law
laid down in the statute books regarding such
cases their position must be impregnable.
THE laws, -" Mr.. Turner thought, "should
take precedence to justice, and if the laws on
such matters be faulty then let them be
amended" He thought the law might be
unjust but as it was the law should be en-
forced.
Mr.. Turner seemed to fear that the Repub
ican leaders might gain possession OF tho
State House previous to the converting of the
Legislature, and believed that Gov Garcelon
might be justified in having the militia near
at hand, If not surrounding the capitol on the
dav the Legislature convened.
The various members of the Greenback State
and city committees fully endorsed the action
of the Governor and Council in all they had
done. A number Of gentlemen, members of
the Democratic State Committee, in CONVERSE
ton were of the opinion that the action OF
Democratic Governor should be upheld by
them without regard to the private opinions of
the several members of that committee. Some
anxiety was evidently felt regarding the elias
ticity of the conscience of E. I'll. Cove. and a
general opinion was expressed that the worthy
gentleman should be encouraged to continue
staunch in behalf Of the "cause."
Mr.. w. G. Davis thought the political hori-
zon presented rosy aspect and sill fears OF Sc
rous trouble were utterly groundless
Congressman Murch stated, regarding the
question of referring the important questions
| to the Supreme Court as follows: 'lf had a
| business difficulty with a member of an oppo-
sition firm would be willing to allow an adj
| justment to be made by other members of my
| opponents firm" This lucid illustration was
explained by Mr.. Murch's stating that the SUI
preme Judges of Maine were compose of six
| Republicans and only one Democrat
Mr.. Murch, judging by the above, does not
have high opinion regarding the integrity of
| the honorable justices.
The general feeling among the Greenbackers
| appears to be that their course has been &C
