Mr.. VIM. Waring the baggage man on
the Sunday excursion train on the Cairo g.
St. Louis railroad, fell from the
train when it was near Eco and was stun
ned tor quite while, but not seriously
hurt. His absence from the train was not
noticed until it had run about ten miles
without him, when the route was re-
traced with the train part of the way and
with hand-car the balance until he was
found lying in an insensible state by the
side of the track. He was brought to Cairo

Yesterday was election day in Ballard
county Ky. The most important question be-
fore the people was that involving the re.
moval of the county seat from Blandville
to Wickiffe. The excitement was, of course,
very great and both parties were out in |
full power; but it is the opinion OF persons |
who were over there that the Wlckliffe |
party has the upper hand and that the seat |
will be retained where it is. Late last |
evening we heard the results from the four
most important precincts IN the county, |
viz; Barlow, Wickliffe, Arlington and |
Blandville, and these gave Ellington, the |
WickIiife man. a majority of ninety.one |
over Jno, Davis, the Blandvile man.
Yesterday evening, about seven o'clock, |
two black women had lively fight at the |
corner Of Twelfth street and Washington |
avenue. Officer Tyler came upon them and |
undertook to arrest them, when they turned |
upon him and one Of them cut him several |
times across the back of the hand with a |
piece of glass, causing the blood to flow |
freely from three or four deep
gashes. lie finally succeeded to bringing |
them to the Jail gate to where he was fol-
lowed by throng Of boys, men and wo.
men, both black and white. Arrived at |
the gate the brother Of one of the women |
caused more trouble by interfering in |
behalf Of his sister, and the officer
was compelled to take him |
also and locked him up. The trio will be
tried to-day.
"A large, strong mule, belonging to Mr., |
Julius Serbian, was bitten in one of his
hind legs by snake some time ago, which |
caused the leg to swell to nearly
treble its natural size. Yet II |
did not seem to seriously
inconvenience him and Mr. Serbian, while
trying various remedies, worked him some.
times. But the remedies did not seem to
have any effect on the swelling and the leg
continued to increase in size and unlness.
