TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

LOUDON, n. H., Feb. 3. This
town is storm of great excitement
over the most terrible tragedy that
has ever occurred within it's limits.
The young wife of Willard Ordway
was shot and killed yesterday after
noon by her little stepson. The
Ordway homestead is weather.
stained cottage and poorly furnished.
The nearest neighbor lives a mile
away, and the place is owned by AL
bert Cate of Boston. 1t is rented by
Mr.. Ordway, who is hard working
farmer, but poor. He lives on the
mail road to Loudon Ridge. The
usual family consists of Mr.. Ordway,
% years old, his wife, 10, and two
sons-Charles, who is in his twelfth
year, and who committed the TRACE
dy, and Jesse, little boy of five
years. Ordway has lived in this town
thirty years, but is not relative of
the other families of that name in
Loudon. The dead woman was his
third wife and the marriage took
place last November. There are
four other children, who live away
from home. Ordway went to Con-
cord yesterday morning, leaving his
wife and the two little boys at home,
and knew nothing of the sad affair
until informed of it in the manner
described below.
The circumstances cannot be given
better than in the words of little
Charles, who, in the presence of wit
nesses, has just made the following
statement.
''Father went away in the morn
ing, and toward noon | went to max
ing some bullets for the gun. | got
it out of the bedroom, where it was
on some hooks. / did not suppose
it was loaded. After I had made
some bullets / took one and put it
into the end of gun. Mother sat in
a low chair near the stove. Jesse
was near the sink. / took the gun
in my hands and looked at the lock,
and saw there was cap on it, but
supposed it was an old one. While
working on the lock the gun went
suddenly off with terrible noise, and
/ then saw that mother had fallen on
to the floor. / went up to her and
got down on my knees and laid my
hand on her face and said mother,
but saw that she was dead. Jesse
began to cry and then | took him,
and about 2 o'clock, should think
it was, we started on foot toward
Concord to meet father. 1t was cold
but we went as fast as we could.
We walked till almost dark, and had
got as far as Moses Sargent's on the
Shaker road, six miles from home,
when we met father. / had not had
any trouble with mother, and she did
not object to my handling the gun"

POLICE COU RT.

That we have some young colored
men practicing at the Washington Bar,
who will not allow their rights to be
intruded upon, is evident from the
controversy which occurred last Monday
morning between Judge Smell and Mr..
ID. w. Lewis. Judge Smell having
heard of some person acting fraudu-
lently at his court, issued a set of
rules prohibiting persons from coming
TO the court and soliciting cases for
lawyers. Last Monday, a young man,
who is employed TO look after Mr.,
Lewis office, came into court to bring
message, which had been left for him.
Entering the court house door, he met
a lady who began to talk to him about
a case she had before the court, where
upon, the young man remarked that
he was no lawyer, and passed on.
When court opened he was arranged
at the bar for contempt in violating
the new rules. Mr.. Lewis, who hap
pened to be in the Court at the time,
sprung to his feet, and stated that the
man had done nothing, that he Was
employed in his, Lewis offices, and had
a perfect right to come into Court. He
took advantage of occasion to ques-
tion the legality of SMELLS rules, argu-
ing that there was no power in the
Court to enforce them, and that the
statute upon which they were founded
did not give the Court SO great a lati-
tude; whereupon Judge Smell dis
charged the man, confessing his weak
ness by threatening to go to Congress
if he could not enforce his rules.

The voters of the Thirtv-eighth

this by electing him as their State SEN

both parties select the same man as
their candidate. This gentleman has
the exceptional honor of being the
choice Of both the Dezendorf republi.

Ellet firmly adheres to the principles
of the republican party, yet he is
strongly in favor of readjusterism as
the only means whereby the colored |
man shall secure equal rights and pro-

The names of Lincoln and Bruce as
candidates for President and Vice
President would certainly lead the
Republican party to victory in 1884,
In our minds eye they are the coming
men, and it will be to the interest of

Many half-cracked, unripe so-called
leading politicians assert that a colored
man cannot be Vice-President. If he
Is nominated and the people elect him,
he will be Vice-President of these
