a Whole Family Killed by Train.

CINCINNATI, July "a horrible and
fatal accident occurred on the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton railway at Wilton place
crossing, just north of Spring Grove GEM
etery, at 9:15 tonight, whereby six per-
sons were instantly killed. The Thunder
bolt express coming south on the New
York, Pennsylvania & Ohio railway, due
here at $50 and half-hour behind time,
and running fast to make up time, struck
a huckster wagon in which were family
of six persons and driver. Every one
except William Bertsch, the driver, was
killed. Bertsch escaped with serious,
though not fatal injuries. The wagon was
broken to spl1nters. The family were
that of huckster, Mr.. Henry
Kracke, and they were goiag to their farm
seven miles from wilton place. Mr..
Kracke had been living on the farm for the
benefit of his. health, while the family lived
in the city. The names of the killed are
Mr.. Kracke and his wife and four children,
John, aged nineteen; Annie, sixteen; Mag
gle, thirteen, and Lizzie, seven. The bod
les of the victims were thrown in fragments
in the grass by the roadside, where they
were picked up by the light of lanterns
and were brought to the city. Mrs. Kracke's
head was severed from her body and al
the victims of the disaster were horribly
mutilated. The engine was so besmeareo
with blood that it was sprinkled with -four
to cover the stains.

Special Telegram to the Globe.


CHICAGO, July 4.-Gen. W. S. Rosecrans,
member of congress from San Francisco,
arrived in the city yesterday from Wash
ington and left in the afternoon with some
friends for Lake Geneva to cool off and
escape Chicago Fourth of July. The
general was seen by reporter at the
Sherman but was not in any mood to talk
politics. In fact he said he had been for
some time past in close attendance on his
sick wife and had heard very
little about what was going on.
He thought the Democratic party was
going to carry Ohio this year and elect
Judge Hoadly, and that would be big
step towards electing the next president.
A Democratic victory in Ohio this fall
would encourage the Democrats and would
be very hard for the Republicans to
explain away. The general said it would
be time enough to talk about the speaker
ship when the time came, but he thought
the party would make wise selection.
He failed, however,to state what he thought
would be wise selection. In regard to
the nominations he said he would talk
about that when he returned from Wiscon-
sin, but that it was too warm to go into
such questions now.

PENNINGTON, July 4.-The day opened
with very light fall of rain, enough to
lay the dust. At about a. m. the clouds
began to clear up and the rest of the day
was all that could be desired. From 8 a.
N. until II m. the roads leading to the
grove where the camps of the soldiers
were located were filed with teams loaded
down with men, women and children, all
bent on having good time, and they had
it. The exercises of the day commenced
at II a. m. and at that hour there were be-
tween 1000 and 5000 people gathered on
the grounds. The exercises we're opened
by music by the Pennington choir, fol-
lowed by prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Thomp-
son, after which the choir gave a
choice selection. Prof. T. A. Weld
next read the Declaration
of independence, and the professor
showed that he was no novice as a reader.
1t was plain to see that he ranked with the
best. After music by the choir the Rev. S,
e. Smith, of your city, the orator of the
day, was introduced, and he gave us the
finest Grafton ever given in the county. 1t
was one of his happiest efforts. Time and
space will not permit of even giving you a
synopsis of it, but will try to get his ora
ton in full for you. Everyone is in
raptures over it. After the address the
soldiers and their wives partook of camp
dinner. Others lunched together and
spent the time until 2:30 D. NJ, forming
new acquaintance and renewing old ones.
At 2:30 the old soldiers went
through their drill, and showed plainly
that they had not forgotten the
manual of arms. After drilling for half
an hour, then came the sham battle, which
was admirably managed and carried out
The charge was made in the grove and up
over a hill into LOT of underbrush, where
the Johnnie kebs lay concealed. The
charge, the repulse, and then the charge
again and final rout, then carrying off the
wounded and dying. This was perfect
success. In fact, all of the boys in blue
were carried back to the years of 1862
"a, and all that were not participants
were forcibly reminded of how the war
was carried on. It needed the graphic pen
of Capt. J. D. Wood to do the subject JUS
tice. After the battle the soldiers all
gathered together and gave three cheers
for Rev. s. G. Smith, and they gave them
with vim. A great deal of credit is due
the committee of arrangements for the
manner in which they have conceived and
executed all of the details of to-day and
the crowd will long remember the Fourth
al Pennington. A great many from
| abroad were present, prominent among
whom was the genial face of Capt
Webster, of Marshall, Lyon county, MINI.
The day closed with dramatic entertain
ment by the Pennington Dramatic club.
All of the seats have been taken at this
writing and no standing room and people
are going away unable to gain admittance.

The Temperance Celebration.


The celebration at Red Rock was a very
pleasant and long to be remembered &C.
casion to those who were present. Extern
sive preparations were made by those on
the ground, of whom there was a large
number staying over from the camp meet
ing. The people began coming in on the
early train, and though there was not
nearly so many present as last Sunday,
there were enough, so that after many had
gone home via boats and trains the
special train at $50 was crowded so much
that great many could not get on at all
and were compelled to remain for later
trains.
All present spent an enjoyable day,
many making of it veritable picnic, list
ening to the speaking in the forenoon and
attending the concert given by the jubi-
lee singers in the afternoon. All was
cool, quiet and peaceful with no roughs
to disturb. The morning exercises were
under the charge of Mrs. 81. A. Hobart
and commenced with singing by the Re-
form club followed with prayer by Mrs.
Neil, of Minneapolis. After song by
jubilee singers, Mrs. Hobart
made a few Introductory remarks
saying that we are now under curse
greater by far than slavery, and that the
women of this country were now present
ing not only the evils, but the remedy for
this curse.
Mrs. Aldrich, of Iowa, said that we are
living in the present but for the future; 1t
is seventy five years since the first tenn
perance organization, and the amazing
! difference between temperance then and
now is shown by the fact that then all they
wished was to keep a man from becoming
drunk too often
A brief history of the progress of tenn
perance through all its different stages
was then given.
Mrs. Aldrich is very able and clear
speaker, possessed with an abundant fund
| of wit.
Rev. F. j. Wagner was then introduced,
and after paying tribute to the address
just given by Mrs. Aldrich, he spoke of
his hope that the temperance course
would succeed because it is of God. He
also thought the liquor traffic uuconstitu-
tional, to prove which he asked if the
ragged, Ak-k need drunkard seen in the
| streets was not slave in the fullest sense
of the word.
DR.. Chsffee then SPOKE briefly, saying
that it was pleasure for him to speak
where all lines of temperance workers
were represented and working for the same
thing. He said he was working for prohi-
bition in the Republican party, and that
he was succeeding and rather enjoyed the
fact that the Pioneer Press was opposed to
him as he thought that by that opposition
he stood a better show than if they were
for him.
w. W. Satterlee then spoke, keeping the
audience in a cheer all the time. He spoke
of the rum traffic az bad tumor, fastened
on Uncle Sam. Many physicians had
treated the case and had perhaps done
some good but they were all on par with
the last one whom he called DIR Republican.
In taking the case this doctor was going
10 make use of the knife and take the tu-
NOR out roots and all, but after he was en-
gagged and had taken the case it was found

surveyors, probably about twenty in mum
Der, will depart for Dakota the latter part
of the week. It is expected to engage in
the survey of certain sections of territory
for the government. The party is to be
divided into three or four sections, and
each section is expected to complete the
survey of one township per week. AS

Yet portion of the expense will be made
good by the government when an official
order for making the same has been is
sued and an appropriation for the work
made. The railway company, by advancing
the money for making this survey, npon
permission of the government, will enable
settlers to select lands, make proper
filings thereon, and thereby hold them
until the arrival of spring and not be COM
PEELED to remain thereon during the COM

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The politicians
in considering the presidential candidates
will be wise not to overlook President
Arthur. Congressman who have recently
been here have observed that Arthur is
gaining in the confidence of the party
and that his administration is becoming
stronger with the people. Senator Platt,
of Connecticut, said that in New Engl and
there was very kindly feeling towards
the president. Gen. Hawley, of the same
state, who is in the habit of carefully not
ing the tendency of the public feeling,
expressed the same opinion. Two of the
most prominent Republican representa-
tives from New York have within
a fortnight expressed like views. So have
three Ohio Republicans. The Republicans
of Iowa, Minnesota and Ohio have for
mally Endorsed the administration. Two
months ago a prominent New York repre-
sentative remarked that he did not believe
it possible for the president to gain the
confidence of the halfbreed faction, and
mat, WnIle the summit Oh Artnur'S am
bition might be to have his
name supported by the New
York delegation, that ambition
would never be realized. Within ten days
the same representative said that his views
have changed. A private letter received
to-day from an acute political observer in
New York, says it is the general feeling
among Republicans that Arthur is can
didate. There is reason to think that the
appointment of Gen. Gresham was made
with the purpose of showing the old sold
iers that their interests were not forgotten
The personal influence of the
president has been strongly exerted
in behalf of an harmonious
reorganization of the Republican party in
New York. Some of the presidents old
political associates, who might embarrass
him in efforts to secure Republican har-
mony, have been given the cold shoulder.
The administration has said that the
Mikes, and Jakes, and Barneys of New
York city politics must go. A few days
ago, when a self constituted delegation
of those gentlemen came here on politi-
cal mission, they did not even get per-
sonal interview with the president.
