Sullivan adjusted the roose and

COLUMBUS, Oct, l9.-Some days
ago the Times had an item referring
t., the presence in the city of John
T. Norris, the detective, and allud-
ed to the fact that Norris was on a
new lay. as he wore suit of strip
ed clothing such as grade of con-
victs in the Penitentiary don. Nor
ris then intimated sto the Times
man that he was on an expedition
involving the capture of a train
wrecker and promised in a few days
to have the matter matured and the
bird iu hand so as to give the en-
terprising reporter a show for a
large sized sensation.
Briefly and to the point, young
school master named F. NJ. Seeds,
living at Pleasant Corners. ham

miles distant on the Midland road
thought to turn a penny. The
scoundrel for such he was hesitated
at nothing and conceived the fiend-

ing sbOats run over and killed by
Midland trains. Seeds asked an un-
reasonable sum from the company
in payment of damages which was
refu sed. and this made the man ex-
tremely bitter in his feeling toward
the railroad company. and gave
strength to his devi'ish plots to
wreck and murder. The school
master il is allegee placed upon the
track obstructions in two places
which were discovered IN time to
prevent an awful tragedy. The
matter was placed in John T. Nor

Seeds barn where he lard over

Sunday morning and in his assum-

Norris excited sympathy in the
breast of train wrecker Seeds, who
even confided to his new found
friend that once upon time be,

Prince De Joinville at Savasc's Sta.
tiOn.

From General w. B. Franklin's &C.
count of ''Rear-Guard, Fighting at Sav.
ages Station in the July Century.
we quote the following: "A short time
after I separated from General Nc
Clellan Gas mentioned abovc) at the
junction of the Charles City and Quak-
er roads, bade farewell to the Prince
de Joinville, who told methat he and
his nephews were about to leave Us and
return to Europe. He had always been
very friendly, and now expressed many
good wishes for my future Holding
my hand in his, he said. VITA great
earnestness, General, advise General
Mcclellan to concentrate his army at
this point, and fight battle to-day; if
he does, he will lie in Richmond to-
morrow. was much impressed by
his manner and by what he said, and
from tho purely military point of view
the advice may have been good. But
it was impracticable for me to adopt
the suggestion. General Mcclellan
was then well on his way to the James
River, and had no right to leave my
command. 1t was impossible to con-
centrate the army there that day early
enough to give battle, and had it been
possible to risk 3 general engagement
there, it would have been contrary to
General McClel1an's views Is to his re-
sponsibility connected with the safety
of the army, views which were actuat-
ing him in the very movement then
taking place. 1t is likely from what
we know now. that had it been possible
to follow the Princes advice, his mill
tary forecast might have proved cor
rect. But no one at that hour could
have predicted the paralysis of Jack
sons large forco in Our rear for the
whole of that day, nor General Lees
ignorance of McClellan's intentions.
Had general engagement taken place.
and had We been defeated, the army
would have reached the James River,
it is true, but instead of getting there
rs it did, with its morcie unharmed,
and with slight damage to its men and
material, it would have been disor-
ganized mob, and as nm army would
have perished mserably. General Nc
Clellan believed that the destruction of
the Army of the Potomac at that time
would have been ruin to our cause,
and his actions, for which he alone is
responsible. were guided by that belief
and by the conviction that ut any sac
riiice. the preservation of that army,
ut that time, was paramount to every
other consideration.

The Clerks Office was crowded

The Clerks Office was crowded
all afternoon with people, who de-
manded sight OF the forged tally
sheets, During the afternoon and
before the convenlng of the Board,
Mr.. Joyce was seen by Times re-
porter, andSto him said substanti
ally that the whole thing was a pal
pabie attempt at FRAUD, and that he
should discountenance it, as would
lie seen later on. His opinion was
that The safe had been opened on
Sunday some time, and the work
done then.
Upon the Board of. Caavassers
meeting at five o'~esisawhen the
room was crowded to aH axcess. Mr..
joyce arose and said that fraud
had been perpe'rated, since the tai
ly sheet of Precinct A. Thirteenth
ward had been changed since Sat
urday morning. He had made a
comparison of the poll book, and
tally sheet on Saturday and found
them to correspond, but when he op-
ened them to day (Monday) he
found they had been raised 300
votes. And since it was SO evil
IDENTIFY a fraud, he would say at
once that he would not sign any
certificate of election until the 300
fraudulent vote had been stricken
from the tally sheets and the
amount deducted. In this Justic-
es Martin and Fritchey concurred.
Mr.. H J Booth then arose and said
in behalf of Messrs. Montgomery
and Dundon that these gentlemen
wished it understood that they
would accept no certificate of cleo
tion if the vote, so fraudulently OBJ
tanned. Was counted.
Mr.. Joyce then made another
statement in which he said as
custodian of the documents. he
would naturally be blamed for
the fraud. He could say in reply
that he knew rothing about it.
and that from the time he locked
them up until now he had not
seen them. As a plausible theory
of how the tally sheet was OBJ
tanned, he said that it might have
come about by some person alb
stract:ng the tally sheet from the
envelopes on Saturday and leav-
ing the poll book in it. The tally
sheet might have been returned
to day (Monday.) He closed by
offering a reward of 5000 for the
arrest and conviction of thespar-
ties who did it.
fhe votes having been deduct
ed, the reading of the ward was
then resumed and finished. The
Democratic ticket with the eX-
ceptions of Mr.. Wall and Mr..
CLANCY is defeated. Every hon
est Democrat will condemn the
ways and means attempted by
some rascal or rascals, who tried
10 defeat the ends of justice.

Good-bye, John Sherman.

Goodbye. JOhn sherman.
The news this morning gives
the Republicans the most sub
stantial hope they have had
that they will have the Legisla-
ture by an extremely small ma
jority on joint ballot. With the
the full Democratic delegation
elected in Hamilton County tn e
Senate will be Democratic, and
whether the House is of that
complexion or not the Demo
cratic board will be safe. This
will be wormwood to several
barnacles who have been anx-
ious to get possession of some OF
the Office now controlled by
Democrats, in Cincinnati especi-
ally. John Sherman will not
succeed himself in the United
States Senate, whatever situa-
ton the official finalities may
leave the Legislature in. Mr..
Sherman has been rapidly losing
ground in Ohio since 1850. In
that year he was unable to hold
the State delegation in the Re
publican Nationa! Convention,
though there had been the most
strenuous efforts in his behalf.
Four years later Blaine broke the
back of the Sherman movement
in Ohio. Sherman still has the
Presidency in view, however,
and will no doubt make another
struggle for it in 1888. Prior
to that time somebody else will
be chosen Senator.-Enquirer.

All Night in a Well.

From the LUnDkin lGd.) Independent.
On Saturday night last Louis Worrlll
had an experience which he is not likely
TO forget soon. He was drunk and made
such fuss in the neighborhood where he
lived that the Town Marshall was sent
Tor. Louis did not want 10 be locked up
and took to the " GODS back Of the colored
Baptist church. AS he was stumbling
along in the dark he encountered an open
well IN the Smithicks field and fell into it.
Ire well is between 20 and 80 feet deep,
and as 1t was dry and warm at the bottom.
Louis did not realize where he was until he
mad slept OFF his drunkenness. He aw0ke
during the night and thought he was in
the calaboose. He got up and en-
countering one side of the we'll
imagined that he had fallen into deep
gully. He turned around and as he soon
struck the other side of the we'll it flashed
over his mind that he was in a deep we'll
and that as no one knew where he was ne
would die there unless he made some eff
tort TO get out. He wanted to holloa, but
knew he was too far from any house to be
heard. He then went to work and with
his hands dug out little steps In the side
OF the well and began slowly to ascend.
When about half way out he slipped and
fell back again. He then pulled of his
boots and commenced again and worked
until O'Clock on Sunday morning before
he reached the top and rescued himself
from mis- perilous position. With the ex-
ceptiOn of wearing of his finger nails in
scratching out he was uninjured and 1t
is perhaps useless to add that he was duly
sober
