CRUSHED - TWO CHINAMEA ALMOST
MORTALITY WOUNDED.
Particulars Of The Case Mr.. Grover
Wholly Unrespensible---He Did His
Part--Efforts Of The Stage Company to
Comfort The Suffering.
Asa Abbott, the courier dispatch
ed from Galena last night for medi-
cal aid gave us the following par
ticulars concerning the terrible &C
cident which occurred yesterday
at 3 p. M on the Sawtooth grade,
about three miles from Galena. The
stage was en- route to Sawtooth with
two white passengers, Messrs Walter
Clark and Oscar Allen, and two Chi
namen. A trace on the wheelers
became unhitched and frightened
them, thus causing the entire team
to fiounce around in frantic man
ner. They were uncomfortable, and
the grade was narrow, and before
five minutes, despite the active eff
forts of Mr. Grover, who was at his
duty with all possible effort to check
the action, both team and
coach an open wagon--were roll
ing down into the dark chasm be-
below. Messrs. Clark and Allen per-
ceiving the probable result, had i'm
mediately jumped from the stage,
thus saving themselves, while the
driver, in sense of his duty re-
manned until there was no hopes.
In the instance of saving his life, he
jumped, receiving terrible crush
which broke his leg square off just
above the ankle, causing the bones
to protrude through his boot
Johnny Gowan, of Vienna, who
was in sight of the occurrence xn
his way home, procured two of the
stage horses, hitehed them into his
own wagon. and gathering up the
unfortunate victims hauled them of
to Galena. There, ASA Abbott was
Immediately dispatched to HALEY
for doctor, making the trip be-
tween the hours OF and 11:30. DIR.
Brown left HALEY at II last night
and arrived here little before the
Galena wagon that brought Mr..
Grover, the unfortunate driver, to
this point. His leg was found in q
bad condition, it being necessary
to cut the boot off very carefully,
since bones were protruding through
it. After the bones were set and
wound dressed, he was carried on to
the Haley Hospital whore all posi-

Mr.. Abbott the courier rode on to
Bellevue Tor q China doctor,
but did not find him until he return
ed to Haley. DR.. Brown continued
on to Galena to look after the Chi
namen, while the China doctor also
passed through on the Galena stage.
The Cinnamon were very seriously
hurt. Both of them remained in the
stage as it rolled, seemingly without
any attempt to escape, while tho
white passengers saved themselves
at the start. One of the Cinnamon
had his ribs badly crushed in and is
in dangerous condition; while the
other one received bruises in the
bead, not fatal.
West Grover was wide-awake in
the sense of his duty and did all in
mortal power to arrest the horses.
But they were unweildy in their
fright. lie remained at the brake
and rein until there was left no hope
for recovery, and then only did what

The Republican National convention of

electing delegates at several popular del
egate conventions called on similar notice
and held in the districts at any time
within 10 days next prior to the meeting
of the State conventions, or by sub
divisions of the State conventions into
district conventions. and such delegates
shall be chosen in the latter method if
not elected previous to the meeting of
the State conventions; all district del
egates to be accredited by the officers of
such district conventions. Two del
egates shall be allowed from each Ter
ritory and from the District of Columbia,

of the grounds of contest, which shall
also be made public. Preference in the

&S-Stephen W. Dorsey has resigned
the secretaryship of the Republican Ma
tional committee. Speaking of the cam
paign of 1880, Dorsey says in his, letter
to Chairman Jewell:
If l failed TO accomplish results de-
sired, certainly it is not chargeable to
any lack of faithfulness and laborious
devotion to the cause on my part. There
was no act of mine in respect to the
management of the campaign, either as
to its general scope or to any of its num-
berless details, that was not thoroughly
known to our candidates for President
and Vice-President, by them and each of
them, fully approved, both before and
after election. From the very nature of
the circumstances l was forced to do
many things upon my own responsibility,
and yet in the entire campaign nothing
was done by me that was not most heart
lily sanctioned by Garfield and Arthur.

N-Lord Duffern has approved and
transmitted to the British foreign office
scheme formulated by the Egyptian
government for regulating the affairs of
that country. 1t proposes that the khe-
dive shall have a council of twelve re-
sponsible ministers. A legislative council
of fourteen members shall be formed,
half of whom shall be nominated by the
khedive and half chosen by a system of
double elections such as that for which
abundant presidents exist in the Ameri-
can constitution and others. An elective
assembly of forty-four members is also
proposed, to occasionally discuss special
subjects. The latter will not participate
in the legislation, but assist legislation
by giving voice to the class es hitherto
inarticulate. The initiative Of legislation
rests wholly with the council of ministers,
but its projects must be submitted to the
legislative council before beco ming law.

M~The action Of the last Legislature
in making provision for forestry COM
mission is favorably commented upon by
the city journals. The Boston Traveller
says:
The State of Vermont, by the appoint
ment Of board of commissioners on
forestry, whose duty it shall be to in
quire into the condition of the forests of
that State, and recommend such measures
as may be needed for their protection,
has taken step in the right direction.
The western pineries are rapidly dis
appearing, and as a consequence eastern
forests are annually becoming in them
selves more and more valuable. Besides
this, the extinction of our New England
forests is being found to have serious
effect in decreasing the water supply. on
which so many manufacturing establish
ments depend for power. There is little
doubt that with care and attention tim
Der culture may be made to pay, and
Vermont has not taken action any too
soon. Other States profitably follow
her example"

are sound, while others will not meet

the school funds of the State are per-
verted in attempting to carry common
school education too far. What he re-
CARDS as sound principles on this point
he thus enunciates:
