The recent rains have caused heavy
slides and consequent delay of trains
on both the Valley Branch and Shen-
andoah Valley Railroads. On
Wednesday a b. & O. passenger
train ran into rock near Toms
Brook, and the train was wrecked,
the express messenger being so in
jurcd by jumping from the train that
he afterwards died; and on Saturday
large rock fell down bank up the
road and wrecked one car of the
east-bound mail train. Fortunately
no one was injured.

A Peculiar Injunction suit.

Some time ago John G. Green took judgment
ageinst Alice G. Wright for 800, which he as
signed to Thomas Gray, and last Saturday
the sheriff, to satisfy this, sold part of some
land she owned, on execution. She claims that
in dividing the land for this purpose the
lines were so drawn as to make solid block for
sale, and The remainder which was left for her
is cut up into several small triangles which are
practically worthless. She asks that a restrain
ing order be issued to prevent further disposal
of the property, and that the transaction indi-
Gated above be declared null and void.

PREPARING FOR THE EXECUTION.
The Scaffold on Which Kerner Is To Be
Hung Put Up-HOw He Conducts Himself.

Several hundred men and boys and not a few
women, stood around the southern wall of the
county jail yesterday, watching the work of the
men who were engaged in putting up the scat
fold on which Andrew J. Kerner the wifemur-
derer, is to be hung on next Friday, unless the
Supreme Court in the meantime grants him a
new trial, The sound of the hammer and saw
first greeted the prisoner when he awoke yester
day morning, and during the day he frequently
watched the progress of the work from ele-
waited railing, upon which he stood, inside the
Jail. There has been a noticeable change in his
demeanor in the last twenty four hours. Appar-
emily he is not so restless and nervous as he
has been, and there has been look of determi-
nation in his eye, and certain boldness about
his manner, that has occasioned much comment
among his associates. II will never be taken
from this place alive" said he to one Of them
yesterday, and the inference from this is that he
intends to commit suicide He is very anxious
about the action of the Supreme Court, and was
much disappointed because decision was not
reached yesterday, as he had anticipated. A
close watch will be kept on him hereafter Some
of his relatives have been in the habit of sending
him in food, and Sheriff Hess yesterday ordered
this discontinued, but told Kerner that
ne could have anything to eat he
wanted, and all he had to do was to signify his
desires to his attendant He will be locked in
his cell all the time hereafter, and nobody al
lowed to see him except his spiritual adviser,
his attorney and his relatives. Although he has
been identified with the Catholic faith, Kerner
did not want minister of that denomination to
attend him, for he said he would urge him to
confess the truth, and Rev. Mr. Seuel, of the
German Lutheran Trinity Church, has since
been visiting him twice day. He says that
lc as nh pft1l ha
pected to be under the circumstances is hopeful
of new trial, and still vehemently proclaims
his innocence
The scaffold which was put up yesterday is
the same one upon which William Merrick,
John Achey and Louis Guetig were hung. 1t
has been put up the south side of the JAIL in
the corner made by the old and new buildings,
and very high board fence will be put around
on tog, of the wall to prevent people from seeing
in. The rope which is of hemp, five-eighths of
an inch in diameter, was made by Vonderhide
Co., Covington KY, to order, and cost $40.
Every fibre of the hemp was tested before being
used. Already Sheriff Hess has more than one
thousand requests for admission tickets, but not
more than one hundred persons will be allowed
to witness the execution.

DOG.

You have often heard it stated
In the East and in the West
That the famous Bull Dog fne-cut
Is the choicest and the best.
The Lawyer pleads for Bull Dog,
While the Doctor recommends,
And the candidate for office
Gives it freely to his friends;
The Reporters carry plenty
When they look for something new
1t never fails with Senators
To gain an interview;
The Miser buys a nickel's worth,
The Sport he buys pound;
The Gamblers bet ON Bull Dog
That it's the finest to be found.
Actors take the Bull Dogs part
When on or off the stage;
The Nobby Swells all say it is
Decidedly the rage"
The Printer buys the Bull Dog
If it's in the Printers Square,"
The Conductors chewing Bull Dog
When he asks you for your fare;
The Drummer chews the Bull Dog
When he calls upon the trade;
The learned judges all decide
Ills the finest has been made.
IT'S ''favorite in Society"
IT'S well known on the street,
Its friends are now too plenty
All the classes to repeat.
1t is, in fact 1.-THE Bull Dog"
And chewers learn to know
That Bull Dog" is the finest found
From Maine to Mexico.

James Scally.

Word was received in this city last night
of fatal accident, at Independence, which
resulted in the death of James Scally. He
was employed as fireman on the Missouri
Pacific, and at the time of his death was
firing the engine pulling passenger train
No. A, on the Lexington branch. From
the facts, as far as learned, il seems that as
the train was leaving Independence the en-
CINE separated from the tender, and Scally,
who was throwing in IRE at the time, fell
between, the tender AID whole train pass
ing over him, cutting his body in Two and
otherwise mangling it.-BAzOO.
When a mani dies the death of nature, with
loving friends about him to wipe the death
damp from his brow, with his spiritual
comforter near 10 administer the last rites
and annoint him for the VALLEY OF the
shadow" while there is sorrow true and
heartfelt perhaps,Sryet there is peace as
we'll. But, when a man in the morning
of life, goes out from those who would
have died to save him a pang and never
again returns with greeting words and the
warmth of genial nature shining froIa
his eyes there is an anguish there too deep
for utterance. Such was the case with the
young man whose accidental death is
briefly stated above.
He was ever foremost at duty's call; he
was kind friend, upright in his deal
ings and his untimely death
has been a source of sincere and LASTING
grief Men all along the railway lin,
where he has been an employe speak vel
of him and mourn for the honorable anC
upright man
who went forth at morning
But never came home III night"
Within the hearts Of those who loved him
A sorrow lives that cannot uie,
For mis- nature, true and noble,
manly worth and courage high.
His was the death ihst makes the hero,
For oft his tOil-wOrn hardened hand
Had fought lifes battle well and truly,
When duty called 10 brsvely stand.
He died and on the earth above him
Tears feil frcIn eyes unused TO weep
And giief could find 10 sunlight shining
Where last they laid him down To sleep.

And simple lines no sOTTOws tell,

Stolen Harness.

A man named Wharton, living nine
miles southwest of here, arrived in the
city yesterday morning and informed the
police that set of harness had been stolen
from him during Friday night, and
that he had good reason to suspect that the
thieves had come to this city. Investiga-
ton proved that he was right in his sur
misses, and the harness was found at
Woods second hand store, on Maine street,
where it had been sold ter $500. The
property was valued at $50.
The thieves, however, mad left the city
Just half an hour before Mr.. Wharton ar
rived, driving eastward, and as he was not
willing to put up for horse for the police
10 ride, they es caped.
