Tragedy i'm a Newspaper Omce-An Ax-
 Rrieved Politician Shot Dead by an
 Editor.
 ST. LOUIS, Oct. 13.-At about five o'clock this afternoon A. w. Slayback, we'll known attorney and politician, was shot and instant ly killed in the office of the Post -Dispatch by John A. Cockrell, the managing editor of that paper. At about half past four o'clock Colonel Slayback and w. H. Clayton were seen turning the corner of Fourth and Mar ket streets talking together in an excited manner and evidently tending in the direc- ton of the Post Dispatch building The stairs leading to the reportorial rooms were climbed in haste and Cockrell and Stay back met face to face. The Colonel be. gan to denounce Cockrell for assaults made in the fury which had taken possession of revolver from his pocket as if to wreak ven- geance for the outrage which had been in hicted on his honor. Cockrell who had the advantage of his adversary by reason of his self possession, also drew his revolver and fired at Slay back, who fell mortally wounded and died in a few minutes. Afterwards his corpse remained in the room sur. of spectators. The trouble which termin ated so tragically dates back to a political meeting held last evening in which Colonel Slay back made bitter onslaught on the Post Dispatch and it's reporters, to which the paper responded this evening by uncompli- mentary references to Colonel Slayback. which rend. red him so indignant that he vis tied the office to demand satisfaction The shooting is generally looked upon as & case of self defense.

His nose is badly swollen, but not broken. Both eyes are black, his face cut and he has numerous body bruises. He says that he got the money at the Manu- facturers' National bank and the Seventh National bank of Philadelphia yesterday.

To. day five thousand people wit messed his exhibition. As the captain was leaving his tank at the completion of his task a well known theatrical manager said : .'Captain Webb, will bot you $1 600 against $500 that you cannot swim in your tank un- til tomorrow (Saturday) at midnight" The bet was accepted and into the water slid the gallant captain again.

 Shocking Accident.
 Mir. Frederick Black, of Bridgeport, lately entering into business in Waterbury in knife manufacturing, was engaged in testing the new machinery of his shop when suddenly the wheels stopped. MT. Black had been caught in the machinery and drawn into a space scarce four inches in depth, between the pulley and timbers beneath. When found he unconscious, but soon recov- cred sufficiently to beg of those about him not to touch him and to shriek in horrible agony. Meantime however, the power was shut off and then the pulley was reversed sufficiently to release the unfortun ate man. Several doctors attended him. One leg was fearfully mangled, broken and twisted, be- ing almost completely torn off. The sur geons worked to save this member most in- dustrially for several hours, still but bare chance exists that amputation must not fol low. The full extent of other injuries has not yet been fully determined
