It is becoming e,I.l. that GOV. Clcye-
lands moral character is to be- brought into
the campaign as well-defned issue. Ever
since his nomination there have been intima-
tions of unsavory developments, and last
Monday evening reputable Buffalo journal,
published at Gov. ClevelaDd's home, devoted
three columns of its space to plain, straight
forward and explicit narrative of the Gov.
ernor's immoralties. Gross lcentiousness
and drunkenness are the offences positively
alleged against Gov. Cleveland, and the details
are given of one particularly heartless case
with which the Governors name is connected.
Prominent citizens of Buffalo are named
specifically as possessing knowledge of the
facts, and ready, if necessary, to substantiate
them in court. The Morning Star, an old
and reputable religious paper published at
Dover, N. H., has the following significant
reference to the subject:

republics situated upon this continent when opposed

tablished to-day an important fact In

two minutes returned, reporting that
the current was 30 swift that he could
not keep his feet. The search by the

that vessel left for New Bedford.

that the lower state-rOoms on the port

still remain In the wreck, and, as his
brother occupied state-roOm aft, on
the port side, he hoped To find the body
there. The storm King will send q
diver down again tomorrow, If circum-
stances are favorable.
Commodore McRitchie, Of the United

The Smyrna Times of yesterday con-
tanned an account of fatal cunning
accident, which occurred on Saturday
morning at the residence of Isaac Webb,
who resides on Mrs. Susan Bells farm,
four miles from that town, which re-
suited in the death of his son, Richard
Webb, young man q years of age.
1t appears that neighbor, young
man of the same age, named Samuel
Boyd, came over to Mr. Webb's house
between ami 10 o'clock and asked for
IA younger brother, as if to have his
to go cunning. just how the
fatal accident occurred Is not clearly
but 1t seems that the deceased
took hold of the gun as if in a playful
way to take it from him to look at, in
doing which it the hammer caught in the
overalls of the owner, which discharged
the gun, the whole load entering the
abdomen of the young man. from which
NE died about four o'clock in the after
noon. His case was past medical as
4istanCe from the first. A Coroner's
inquest held Monday rendered verdict
of accidental death, and the young man

Awful story Of Suffering.

A little over year ago James
Adams, a farm laborer, married . very
young wife and set up housekeeping in
an old cabin OH Clear Creek, eight miles
south of Bloomington, Ind. On Tues
day stranger, passing the Adams cab
in, had his attention drawn to 1t by
the sound of moaning within. He
opened the door and found James
Adams benumbed and helpless with
cold, lying Oh the naked floor beside
u tireess stove. In bed near by, nm
der heap of rags,lay the child mother,
frozen to death On her breast, wrap
ped in rags, lay living infant trying
to draw nourishment from it's mother
breast. The babe, less than q week,
old, and the father were cared for by
kind neighbors. Mr.. Adams, when
able to speak, said he was sick and un-
able to move when his wits gave birth
to the babe, and 30 could not send for
help. The neighbors, deeply mortified
that suffering should exist undiscover-
ed In their midst, are doing all In their
power for the babe and It's father.

of Paris, made some notes on the decapi.
alton Of two: criminals. Three seconds
after the stroke received by the first, the
eyes were widely open and the pupils
contracted. In twenty seconds the
pupils began to dilate, and the process
continued for two minuter. Twenty
five seconds af er the decapitatiOn the
eyes turned upward and TO the right. In
forty four seconds there were twitch-
ings Of the muscles of the neck, follow
ed by violent contractions. The mouth
was drawn downward, and, with the
tongue, deviated to the left. Some
seconds later the mouth closed slowly.
" Rhythmic movements " of the facial
muscles followed, and complete repose
ensued only in one minute aud forty
five seconds after the execution. No
movements were observed in the body.
The second case presented similar ap-
pearances, but the criminal kept his
eyes wide open while his head was on
the block, and did not wink when the
blow was struck. Notwithstanding the
movements described, the doctor con-
cludes that sensation Is instantly ar
