Case OF Esquire Smith.

The Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
of Monday last contains the following :
The habeas corpus proceedings instl-
tuted to procure the release of John
Smith, of Butler county, who is now
confined in the Western Penitentiary
under aentonc2 for perjury, was to-day
dismissed by Judge YirkEstrics, ct the
petitioners costs, and an order maze
remanding the prisoner. The dis
charge of Smith was asked for on the
ground that his incarceration began IN
pecember, to rnn for one year, which
would make his term expire between
the 18th of November ana the 10th Of
February, between which dates an act
of Assembly says no sentence shall ex-
pire. The Court fled no opinion, but
indicated that the reasons for 80 decid-
ing the case were that the proper time
for proceeding of this nature would
be 1T the expiration of one year from
the date OK seatepce. and besides that
the Court that sentenced TIC man
should pass upon the sentence, unless
by proper proceedings the case be pre-
septetl to the Supseme Court

Committee Meeting.

By notice in another place it will be
seen that the Republican County Com
mittee has been called to meet on March
4th, for the purpose of fixing the times
for the primary elections Two primary
elections will probably be necessary,
under present rules-one to elect dele
gates to the Republican State Conven-
tlon that meets at Harrisburg on April
l6, and one to nominate the county
ticket. This will be necessary, unless
one time, previous to April l6, is fixed
upon for both purposes Delegates to
State Conventions, the present rule says
shall be elected in the manner that
members of the Assembly are nominat-
cd" And as the coming State Con-
vention is on April l6, they, the dele
gates to it must be elected prior to that
time. The County Committee when it
meets can fix date prior to April l6,
for both purposes and thus accomplish
both at the same time. This has been
done already in other counties. 1t
would make an earlier nomination Of
the county ticket than usual, but 80
far as we have heard an expression of
opinion on the subject. from candidates
and the people, all seem to think the
earlier the primary the better this year.

OFF A SINKING BRIDGE.
Six Persons Drowned in White
River or Burned Alive.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 3l.-The south
bouud accommodation train on the
Indianapolis & Chicago Air Line, due
here at 1890 this morning, met with
terrible accident when seven mile from
this city at Broad Ripple. A tb' t
point the railway crosses the White
River on q sssbridge of two spans,
each $50 feet in length. The en- :lneer
had gone to the baggage car for drink
of water, and the locomotive was Id
charge of the fireman. When the
locomotive reached the center Of the
bridge the fireman felt the structure
sinking. He had hand on the throt-
tie, which he opened, giving the loco
motive all the available steam. The
engine sprang forward with great force,
breaking the couplings between the
tender and baggage car.
The locomotive kept the track but
the baggage and smoking cars aud an-
other coach dropped through and were
piled up in mass at the foot OF the
piers, the smoking car being partially
| telescoped on to the baggage car.
The wreck was partially submerged
but the portion above water immedi-
atelv took fire from the stoves. The
fireman states that when he looked
back, when the locomotive reached the
south end of the bridge, the cars were
on fire and smoke was obscuring the
scene
News of the wreck reached this city
in short time, and wrecking train
with surgeons and other assistance was
at once made up and sent to Broad
Ripple On reachiug the wreck a
chaotic scene was presented. The
bridge and cars were yet burning, and
those present were 80 lacking in pres
ence of mind as to be unable to eItin'
guish the flames or afford any relief to
the sufferers.
The officials of the road went to
work vigorously and systematically
and in a short time the fire was extin
guished and the search for the bodies
begun. Six persons were either killed
outright or burned to death. The re-
covered were burned and charreo
beyond recognition, being horribly
mutilated, and the only means Of linden
tifcation was the finding of incombus
tible trinkets known to be the property
of the dead men.

question. And as to his Republican
ism, all know what he did the year
before last to defeat some OF our coun-
ty ticket, Mr.. Braham for Assembly,
for instance. Nor have they forgotten
his double dealing in the Grant-Greeley
ca upaign of 1872, when the hairy
hand was one way, Grant, and the
voice and body of the Eagle the other
way, Greeley. We have no desire to
revive his past record. 1t has been,
and is yet crooked, sinuous and eva
sive. In eight out of nine times, when
before the people, they have rejected
him. Of all men we know of, silence
would best become him. He is the
last man who should be questioning
the motives of Others. While many
for some time past have been endeav-
oring to secure harmony in the party
the paper he controls has and is seek
ing to keep up division and discord.
If evil results follow from this to the
| party in this county, this fall, the re-
sponsibility for it is already fixed. In
telligent men, born and raised in the
county, have some self-respect, and
will not be further humiliated. Mr..

"single individual" only that detests

A Strange Story.

One of the best known ladies of the
Shenandoah Valley, Va, has turned
out to be a man. Miss Elizabeth Re-
becca Payne, daughter of the late
Joseph Payne, seven miles from Win
chester, who has lived for thirty eight
years as lady, suddenly avowed her
self to be, few days since, man and
startled j. p Reilly, clerk of the coun-
ty courts. by applying for q license to
marry IL Miss Hinton, who bad resided
in the Payne family as a domestic.
The lady who fired the heart of Mr..
Payne with such passion as to compel
him to throw off the habit of lifetime
and declare his sex is prepossessing
and forty years of age. The strange
affair has caused decided sensation in
Shenandoah valley and nothing else is
talked about. Payne was brought up
as q girl. no one ever questioned his
sex. and his own aVowal that be was
man took away the breath of the COM
munity. Elizabeth Rebecca Payne
was one of family of six daughters;
was brought up as woman, and was
admitted into the best society in COM
pany with the other members of the
family. He was always regarded as
somew hat masculine girl, but no one
ever suspected he was man. He was
a most graceful and dashing eques-
trienne, and always challenged admira-
tion as he frequently rode into Win
chester with his habit and somewhat
long hair trailing in the wind. He
was one of the most widely known
ladies in the valley. In addition to
good birth and inherited acres he de-
veloped remarkable business talent for
a woman when reverses in the family
fortune rendered it necessary for some
one to put a shoulder to the wheel.
His sisters were distinguished for
their culture and personal charms, and
several of them married prominent gen.
tlemen.
Rebecca Payne devoted himself to
the management of a farm and to the
supervision of store which he had es-
tablished at Rest, where he also held
the sppointment of postmistress. He
also dealt in cattle and horses and be-
came an expert in that way. All his
enterprises prospered and he has ac-
quired considerable wealth. Determin-
ing to marry he threw off his dresses
and applied for o license from the court
at Winchester, but the aetanisbed clerk,
who, like everybody else, knew him as
a woman, declined to issue license for
O woman to marry q woman.
When Payne proved his real sex by
producing the certificate of DR.. p. W.
Mcguire, of Winchester. the license
was still refused on the ground that
Virginia law Gompeis q man to have
given names which show his cex before
be can act as q man before the law.
PAYNE then determined to have his
name changed at the March term of
circuit court, which will meet on the
6rst proEimo. The affair is q niue
days wonder in the Shenandoah and
has created more excitement than any
event which has disturbed the social
circles of the State for half century,
No explanation has been offered as to
why he has masqueraded 80 long as q
woman. Rumor has it that Payne and
his sweetheart went to West Virginia
yesterday and were married, but this
Jacks confirmation.

Hon. NJ. S QUAY is clearly what, in
times past, some Democratic statesmen
were called, "strict constructionist.' .
His construction of the National rule,
for the selection from Congressional
districts of delegates to the National
Convention, reminds one Of the logic of
reductio od absurdum, reduced to an
absurdity, or rather to nothing. Under
his construction there could not well be
any selection by the Republicans of
district of said delegates. The rule
would seem to be made to defeat rather
than promote that While he is un-
doubtedly right that committees can
not appoint said delegates. and that no
conferees from committees as such can
intervene, yet if the conferees come
from convention of delegates chosen
for that purpose, in each county of a
district, that would be complying
with the rule. The intent of the rule
doubtless was to have the delegates of
district chosen in about the same
manner O candidate for Congress is
nominated in it, and this is generally
by conferees, representing county con-
ventions, each county of district meet
ing separately and in it's own way.
To require all the counties of district
to meet at the same time and elect del.
gates direct, to great mass district
convention, would be impracticable
and defeat the very object intended
So that, unless the rule was made on
the principle of chow not to do it," we
think Mr.. Quay's construction of it en-.
tirely too fine, if not absurd. 1t is the
letter that killeth. In this case the
object was to give the people the right
to choose their delegates to National
Conventions, and if they have the op-
portunity given them they will do 30.
