A Hack Run Into by Train and Three

WAYNErowN, March ia frightful acci-
dent occurred at Trantrum's Station, near
this city, this afternoon, resulting in the
death of Milton Rusk, Elizabeth Clark and
Joseph Green, all of Alamo An Indiana,
Bloomington & Western westbound train
struck the Alamo hack, in which
the former two were passengers
and the latter the driver The train
was stopped and the bodies brought back to
this city. The engine struck the front end
of the vehicle, entirely demolishing it and
throwing it on one side, while the horses
were left dead on the other The bodies
were not disfgured, and not particle of
blood was discovered about them, death
resulting from the conclusion. The ter.
ritory adjacent to the crossing is very level,
the track being visible to travellers for a long
distance upon both sides, and very ordinary
watchfulness on the part Of the driver it
would seem, would have prevented
the accident. 1t is very evil
| dent that the driver was either
asleep or intoxicated, or carelessly att empted
to cross ahead OF the train which he could
hardly avoid seeing. He has been n driver
Oh the route for many years, and was always
considered careful and reliable The victims
were all most respectable people, ard wero
well known in this vicinity.

the Secretary of the Treasury in regard to the
case of George Albert Mason, a notorious
oounterfeiter recently released from prison,
where he had served the greater part of a
term of twelve years, and who has made a
claim against the government for $4,000 for
false Imprisonment He made the claim rs
British subject through the British minis

strong argument against allowing the claim,

justice or equity.

Piety Hill.
To THE FDITOR:-

10 THE EDlTOR:-
PIETY HILL, June 2S.-The subject
of "dogs" has engaged the attention
of the human family for many ages.
They have been imported to our own
land by their admirers, from all Eu-
ropean countries, and they are being
sent from all parts of our own land by
express to friends for sporting pur-
poses, and pets also. The dog law and
the high tax in our own corporation
has had a decidedly beneficial effect
upon our own pets of the corporation.
It has had the effect of reducing the
number largely, and of those that have
been left of their being trained up
properly; they do not gather in large
numbers as formerly ,on the sidewalks,
thereby obstructing the free passage
of pedestrians. The time was when
we would either have to turn back
and 90 around block or else pass out
into the middle of the street to get
around them; and then, too, they are
all, or nearly all, we'll behaved; they
do not as q rule trespass upon their
neighbors' premises. 1t is true there
is now and then an exception; occas-
ionally one will leap over neighbours
garden fence, trample down his Vege-
tables, and prowl around seeking
whom or what he may devOur. An
instance of this kind occurred recent
ly to one of our neighbors. One of these
il ly brought up ours dove down into
his cellar and appropriate one of the
delicacies of the season to his own
ravenous appetite and the up building
of his emaciated frame. A nice leg OF
mutton had been prepared for the
family and carefully put away in the
cool Of the cellar, when soon after this
miserable fellow struck the scent and.
soon had it in his own possession

Nv see or stand we took seats for we
could not miss this sight, Grain OF
shine, mu,.,!y or thunder" The little
/ locomotive steamed away and began
its climbing and Winning. The river
dashed bcsi,ic liz, ti,e hills and then
the mountains reared their massive
| heights over us; oVer-hanging rocks
frowned upon, but tlic baby train
lodged in and out among them-shy-
ing the river, here, the rocks there.
The rain and cinders would fill eyes
and faces and then we turned around
and locked backward TO the vanish
ing grandeur sublimity, immensely,
terror and everything else great you
can think Of Sometimes we would
dash into dusky place between the
high rocks, and it seemed to be the
vcritable Inferno. Great assures in
the rocks yawned Oh us, and tremen-
dous were ready to crush us. Moth
ing but the great powers of the earth
could do anything like this. The
river added to the feartulness of the
scene for It clashes and rcars in its
narrow bed filled with rocks in fear
full way. But really, ten miles of this
overpowering scenery was enough.
We settled down into our regular seats
contented when we got through.
The Canon varies i'll height of course,
as the mountains are irregular, Some
sly 5000 feet, some points are 1900
feet, but it is so narrow abrupt, per-
pendicular and even OveIh angling
that it is really terrible to behold.
Much of the way for the railroad is
blasted from the perp ndicuiar rock;
but some places have, narrow base.
Some of the mountains are covered
spassely with cedar and pine, and
then again it is hare, igneus rock.
The scenery all the rest of the way
was grand, but only in a few cases AS
bold as in the Canon. At ten O'Clock
in the evening we arrived at Leadville
and found the ground covered with
snow.

Roseville, had been found lying in the
road, dead. The particulars of this
terrible affair are very brief. Mr..
Smithson was in Atwater Tuesday, en-
deavoring to make arrangements to
secure a self binder. He remained in
town quite late in the afternoon, and
did not start for Roseville until after
supper. 1t is reported that he was
driving pair of horses which are in
the habit of running away at any
rate the team must have got out of
Smithson's control not far from Mat
tock's farm, in the woods. They
dashed the life out of Smithson tore
the buggy to. splinters, and becoming
tangled in the brush, were unable to

The Chicago News says the decision
of the supreme court of Ohio in regard
to the Scott bill is somewhat of a gain
in the interests of temperance, al
though not one of great magnitude.
1t simply provides that the state may
collect a tax from those who are en-
gagged in the sale of liquor, but takes
no step to prevent the sale of the al
coholic poison. In Que sense, it places
the selling of liquor under the protec-
ton of law, in consideration that the
siquor-selling interests shall pay a GER
tain annual sum-somewhat the same
as if law were passed prohibiting
prostitution unless each cOurtesan
shall pay annually certain sum into
the public treasury, the tax being so
divided that it shall be less in case
she shall be a gentle sort of courte-
san, and more should she elect to be
fiery and demonstrative. 1t is some
what as if the state should say that a
man shall not commit petit larceny
unless he shall pay $1O3 into the state
treasury, and that it shall be unlaw-
full to commit grand larceny unless the
would-be thief shall first pay into the
state treasury $500.

The Terrible Plague.

LONDON, July 2.-Information re-
garding the cholera epidemic in Egypt
continues unfavorable, and there is
much uneasiness at European capitals
and port cities. The fatalities are i'm
areasing at Damiett ia, and the disease
has secured a firm foothold at Port
Said. TO make worse the situation at
Damietta, most of the physicians have
fled leaving the plague to work at will.
There will, therefore, be no improve
ment at that city until the disease has
exhausted itself. 1t is probable that
an international sanitary commission,
with full authority to adopt quaran-
tine measures, or to take any other
action necessary to stamp out the
plague, will be appointed at once. No
cases of cholera have yet occurred at
Cairo, and but two at Alexandria.
THE RECORD OF SUNDAY.
ALEXANDRIA, July 2--The number
of deaths from choler at Damietta
yesterday, ia; also IA at Port Said on
Sunday from the same disease.
THE BLAME.
A London telegram of recent date
says: Foreign governments are plac-
ing the blame for the spread of the
cholera epidemic on the English adj
ministration in Egypt. The Spanish
government has made the most direct
complaint ina diplomatic way, by de-
handing that England shall comply
strictly with the resolutions adopted
at the Saturday conference, having
been very largely dictated by the En-
glish representatives and suggested by
the needs of English commerce. The
French press is especially loud in its
denunciation of England's manage
ment in Egypt, and not only charges
British officers with the greatest lack
of foresight in failing to take the most
obvious precautions against the adj
| mission of the disease, but of crimi-
nal laxity in taking necessary steps to
prevent fits spread alta time when thai
could have been easily done. They
say that the khedive's government
unhampered, would have done much
better service, while his careless En-.
glish advisers have laid all Europe
open to the plague.

necessary and the interest will
be promptly paid. The changes in

The strife between west bound roads
with reference to securing passengers
for Denver is still as great as ever.
New complexities exists. Inc
round trip rate from Denver to San
Francisco, to the triennial conclave,
is 500, while from Chicago it is $500.
The roads are anxious to sell as many
tickets from Chicago as they can, but
have become alarmed at the prospect
of rate being made to Denver that
will be less than S24. 80, for fear advan-
tage may be taken of it to purchase
tickets at the reduced rate and then
buy their San Francisco tickets at
Denver. Runner is in calculation at
Chicago that rate would be made TO
Denver as low as $40, and possibly less.
The attitude of ST. Paul and the Rock
Island is decidedly belligerent. 1t is
currently reported that tickets have
already been sent out and placed in
fine hands of members of the grand
army. with distinct understanding
that they shall be sold to meet any
rate made by road out of Chicago.
Tickets have been announced to be on
sale July Is, leaving but little time to
fix matters up if the roads desire pre-
vent a war of rates that will possibly
bring the price of tickets down to $15,
and seriously interfere with their
sales of tickets to San Francisco.

CALAMITOUS TIMES.
A Ship in G{aegoao, Scotland, Cap
sizes While Being Launched.
One Hundred Drotpned.

One Hundred Drowned.
LONDON, July 3.-3 p. m.-Intelli-
gence has just reached here ola terri
BILE calamity during the launch of the
steamship Daphne, lat Glasgow. While
being launched she fell over on her
side, precipitating large number of
people into the water. According to
dispatches this far received sixty per-
sons were drowned.
LATER AND WORSE.
Further particulars of the calamity
at Glasgow state that the Daphne,
which was constructed for coast trad
ing, is a vessel of 500 tons burden. Two
hundred workmen were aboard when
she capsized. The accident occurred
in the middle of the river Clyde, after
the launching. 1t is not exactly known
how many persons were drowned, but
it is feared the number will reach over
100.
STILL LATER.
A later dispatch from Glasgow says
the Daphne capsized near Rentew five
miles from Glasgow. Traffic in the
Clyde is suspended, owing to the in
terruption to navigation by the cap
sized steamer.
THE DETAILS.
The Daphne left the ways at a very
fast rate, and when she gained the
water she rolled from side to side. The
persons ON board fearing she would
capsiZe, ran to and fro. The vessel
finally reeled over and nearly disap-
peared beneath the water. Those who
had maintained a position on the por-
ton of the steamer not submerged did
their utmost to save those who were
in the water. At the same time boats
pulled to assist in the work of rescu-
ing the unfortunate people and sue
ceeded in saving quite a number. It
is known, however, that there were
fifty persons below in the Daphne
when the vessel went over, and they
must have all been drowned.
