KILLED BY THE CARS.
An Unknown E0Iored Man Cut Int
Mince Meat.

Last Tuesday morning the editor of this
paper was Informed that a colored man
had been killed by the cars just east of
town on the Wabash railroad, and, in
company of the coroner and constable.
we at once fastened to the scene of the
slaughter. The following jury found a
verdict that the said unknown colored
man came to his death by being run we
by the cars: R. NJ. White, foreman; L.
p. C. Taylor, Mr.. Beck, George Clark,
Mr.. Douglass and Mr.. Rainey.
The only witness brought before the
jury was John Vickers, section foreman,
who found the remains at 7. a m. We
have seen men horribly mangled, but
never before as this man was. He had
been run over by four Or five trains, and
was strewn along the track for half
a mile. We could hardly find enough Of
him to tell his color, or to hold an inquest
over. BY his teeth we should Judge he
was u young darkey. Nothing could be
found to identify him by. He must have
been riding on a freight train, and falling
off was caught on the trucks and dragged
first under the wheels, then on the trucks,
and then under the wheels till he was in
such small pieces that Gabriel will have
to blow hard to gather him up. As usual,
the LEDGER reporter was the only news

The War In Egypt.

1t may not be uninteresting to give some
account of the origin of the war in Egypt,
since this subject is now one of the questions
to which SO much space is devoted in the pa
pers of the day. The present ruler of Egypt,
Mohammed Tewfik, is the viceroy of the
Sultan of Turkey, of whose country Egypt
is part. He is called the Khedive. AS
monarch of the country he has contracted
many debts, particularly to English and
French subjects. The management of Egypt,
ian finances has been in the hands of two
officers, one appointed by England and the
other by France. Arab Bey, however, who
is a native of the country and represents it
politically, is opposed to this arrangement
and has proved too much for the Khedive.-
The war consequently has been begun for the
purpose of overthrowing the Arab and re-
storing power to the Khedive.
AS far as can be learned, some of Arabi's
army are hanging around Alexandria, but
the Bey himself has retired some distance
from the seat of war. The massacre which
occurred was principally between the Italians
and the Greeks. The main object was to
obtain plumber, and nothing escaped which
stood in the way.
Admiral Seymour with his sailors and
marines continues to occupy the city, and has
restored quiet. The fires are nearly all ex-
tinguished. r..
