Water was at once poured on the

good service. From Wednesday the
captain, officers, crew and passengers
worked without ceasing. They were

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Among all the settlers about the
little country town of Dripping

more highly esteemed than DR.. Pounds,
a practicing physician and most es.
timable gentlemen, Hence his many
friends viii regret exceedingly to hear
OF the painful accident that occurred
to him in this city about o'clock a.
M. yesterday. He had registered at
the Avenue hotel and in company
with friend, Capt. Jas. M. Hunter
of Edwards county, had retired to his
apartments at rather late hour. The
East Hickory street, and to the pave
ment below was a. distance of some
fifteen feet. How the accident oc.
CURED nobody can say, but the fact is
the doctor fell from the window to
the hard stones on the street beneath
receiving severe injuries from the fall
1t may be that it was done in a fit OF
somnambulism, or was the result of d
too conyivial time in the early part oil
the evening.
One of his wrists was broken, an6
the other badly sprained; his knee car
was terribly bruised, and his face bad
ly cut up.
He was unconscious when found
and Capt. Wilson, the proprietor, wa:
at once notihed. Drs. Mclaughlin
and Litten were called in, and, Later
on, the sufferer was carried to tht
house of Col. Crow, when DIR. Wooter
was also called in.
The reporter was unable to ascer
tain whether any internal injurie:
were sustained, in which event thu
condition of the unfortunate gentle
man may prove very serious.

voting places in Tyler county give
Maxwell 236 majority. The three to
heard from will increase it to $50.
WHEELING, October 17.-As far as
heard from, twenty-eight counties IN
this state, give democratic majority
of II, 1873; twenty-five counties give
republican majoritIes aggregating
9,277-democratic majority 1856, with
four counties to hear from, which may
increase the democratic majority
1,200. The democratic plurality in
1880 was 16, 136, and 3, 100 over repub-
licans and greenbackers. This year
the republicans and greenbackers
fused. 1t appears, however, that The
democratic greenbackers. in most
counties, went back to their party an6
the republican greenbackers did the
same. The campaign was virtually &
square issue between republicans anG
democrats. The total vote will sur
pass any in the history of the state.

NJ. Ferry says that he would sacri-

make friend of Prince Bismarck for
the advantage of France. He may
make this sacrifice and. when it is too
late, discover that Prince Bismarck
has been making puppet of him.

prejudice against moving machines,

VIGILANCE COMMITTEE.

CHICAGO, October 1S.-In COM
menting upon the supervision of the
polls in this city on election day and
the appointing of deputy U. S. mar
shals and deputy sheriffs, the Times,
this morning prints the following:
"The democrats-that is TO say one
hundred of them-organized yester-
day what they are pleased to style a
vigilance committee. 1t is composed
of determined men, resolved that no
intimidation or violence shall rule at
the Chicago polls; at least there shall
be none done by repu blicans, and they
are to provoke no fight themselves,
nor to indulge in any as long as the
contest is merely wordy; but if any
bulldozing is attempted by negro or
other deputy marshals, to resist it, and
if any democrat is shot to see that the
shooter at once suffers the same fate.
So the matter stands, and if the feel
ing keeps growing there will be trou-
BILE in Chicago on election day."
