KILLED ON HIS WEDDING ToUR.-Sunday
afternoon Samuel D. yelling, young mer-
chant of Coshocton, Ohio, was married in
Pittsburg. In the evening they started fol-
home in the fast express. After having
travelled few miles Yelling left his bride
to go into the smoking car and did not re-
turn. After an hour the young wife became
uneasy and caused the train to be searched.
He could not be found. Monday morning
his body was found on the track terribly
mangled. He had evidently fallen between
the cars in stepping from one to the other
and was instantly killed.

WHY 2

If the debt question is settled, as tn e
Richmond Whig says, why do the Readjus-
tiers still want to keep up party lines? The
only issue was the debt settlement, and
that being settled, all ought to goback into
the Conservative or Republican party,
whence they came. Every sensible man
knows there is no necessity for three parties.
In fact, there is and will be only two Ma
tional parties-the Democratic and the Re-
publican.

Our Soldiers ON Their Way to Niagara
Falls.
THEY SPEND SUNDAY IN BALTIMORE.


We learn from the Baltimore sam that
our ex-soldiers and accompanying citizens
on their way to Niagara Falls to attend the
twenty second annual reunion of the New
! FORK Twenty Eighth Regiment, arrived in
Baltimore on Saturday night and left at II
o'clock Sunday night on their way north.
The party, which is in charge of Major
James W. Newton, comprises SO ex-soldiers
and 70 citizens, including 20 ladies. They
left Staunton at P. M. on Saturday, on
special train of Baltimore and Ohio palace
coaches. The Staunton Artillery turned
out and gave them parting salute. At
Winchester the band of that place serenaded
them at the depot, and Capt. W. L. Clarke,
mayor of the city, who was an officer 1.-THE
Stonewall Brigade, delivered happy ad-
dress, wishing the veterans god-speed on
their friendly mission. All along the route
much interest was manifested in the excur-
sion of the veterans to meet once more
their old opponents. The party would
have been much larger but for the fact that
the county elections in Virginia take place
on Thursday next, and the excursionists
will not return in time to vote. Several
prominent officers of the old Fifth are can
didates in Frederick and Augusta counties,
and this operated to keep them and many
of their supporters at home.
Conservatives,

the Primary. Don't trade votes. That is
