MURDER AND ROBBERY.
A Terrible Tragedy Enacted on L N.
A and c. Train.

News reached the city yesterday morning
of terrible crime committed on an L., n. A.
and c. train, near Harrodsburg, this State,
shortly after IL o'clock Of the night before.
The train was through express from Louis
vile to Chicsge, and was in charge OF
Conductor Chambers, with Peter Weber,
Of New Albany, baggage master, and
George Davis, of Louisville, sx-
press messenger. 1t appears that Weber and
Davis were lying upon their train chests
asleep. when the former was awakened by
heavy blow upen the head, and he saw
covered with blood Weber was too badly
injured to afford his companion any assist.

loOsened one arm and suocseded in drawing
his revolver, but only to have il wresled
from him by the robber, who shot him, and
instant death Weber was made to
take the keys from the messengers
pocket and open the safe, and the man took
from it everything which he supposed to be
OF value. He then turned upon Weber,
pointed the pistol directly at his head and
fired. the bullet striking near the temple aud
making severe wo1nd. AS the man left
the Car Weber pnlled the Dell.cOrd, aud ss
the speed OF the train slackeaed he walked
back and informed the passengers of what had
occurred. The passengers entered the baggage
car and found Davis unconscious and appar-

result OF his injuries Davis died yesterday
morning at Bloomington, where he and
Weber were left when the train reached that
place. Weber's wounds ara not thought to
be fatal, though serious enough to require
the most careful attention. The murderer

most unfsvorable weather, fully 1000 pep

day until about an hoar before the tins of
calling the game, and the grounds wers
heavy and slippery, and very unfsverabis to
good playing. Sweeney's pitching and the
batting OF Lewis won the day for the home
team. In the first inning, base on balls
given Dunlap. a steal, hits by shsfer and
Lewis, and 8 sacrifice by Sweeney, yielded
two runs for st. Louis. The visitors scored

third and home on balks made by Sweeney

pitcher from moving his right arm and not
delivering the ball after taking his position
and touching the ball with his right hand.
Lewis. II the sixth inning, knocked the bali
over the fence, reaching third base but was
given home on the rule which allows home
runs on hits over q fence 2l0 feet or more

in the ninth inning gave Gore mis- base and

double up Kelly. but Dunlap was not on tbs
base and the ball went out to Boyle, who
threw to third. Alvord muffed the throw
and Gore scored. and Kelly, who had started
from second, ran for home. Glasscock got
the ball in 10 Parker ust In time to head
him off and save the game. The greatest

IEooULATED FOR CHOLERA.

The correspondent of the New York Herald,
now IN Spain investigating the reports OF the
cholera, had himself inoculated with the
germs Of the disease before leaving Valencia
last Tuesday. He gives the result Of the ex-
pertinent by cable TO the Herald of Wednes-
day. He says: The injection was given me
in both arms, on the back part, between the
elbow and the upper muscle. A small syringe
with point like needle WAS used, penetrat-
ing simultaneously about halt an inch.
After an hour l began 10 feel considera-
bic pain about the spinal region. the injec-
ton csusipg muscular agitation, the pain
extending 70 the palms OF the hands. In
two hours my temperature rose 10 fever
heat. This was followed by clammy hands,
lsssituds and pains in the legs. In four
hours my arms became very painful, with a
sensation rs though they had been severely
bruised. After this the activity Of the vac
cine subsidized, but the arms grew very stiff,
so that 1 could scarcely lift them. Later on
began to experience nausea, accompanied
by dull headache, while the pain in the
arms spread 10 the muscles OF the backys I
went to bed and slept we'll. Many who have
submitted TO the test, however, are troubled
with sleeplessness. / awoke with a severe
headache, which remains. This dispatch is
sent off twenty eight hours after my inocu-
lation. The period during which symptoms
continue is, I am informed, fOrty-eight
hours"
Before incubation, the physician, DIR.
FeTsD. gave lecture to 100 Spanish doc
tors, illustrating hislecture with microscopic
illustrations. Eighteen OF the physicians
and others, including the Herald correspond
ent, were then inoculated with the germs
which he cultivated in a broth Of mutton or
beef. This be claims will develop in the
system symptoms OF cholera. A single in.
oculstion gives immunity from cholera con-
tagien for period OF three months, but q
second incubation is required within the
week in order to make sure OF the efficacy of
the system for longer periods AS the cor
respondent sent his dispatch twenty eight
hours after the experiment and gives the
symptoms up to that period, it would be in
terestiDg to know the state OF his body at the
end of forty eight hours, the time when the
symptoms end. He will probably send
another cable message soon.

IT IS BRAVERY.

To the Editor OF the Sentinel:
SIR-Why do the Republican papers keep on
nsIping over slavery, rebellion and war-thtngs
TX soLDrEE.
PeIhaps "Ex-Boldief" has heard an old
saw that every msa must eat a peck OF dirt
during life." Perhaps too, every man must
do q certain amount OF fighting during life.
'Ex-Soldier" having done bis share in the
period of 1861 8, does not need to do more.
But he should remember that the Repub-
lican papers, having avoided the front in
those days, must fight now or fall short
ofsthelr quota.
1t Is safe to say that "a a rule the red-hot
Republican papers are conducted or edited
by meo who, like Jobs war horse, smelled
the battle afar of. The men who bore the
brunt of the fight for the Union are now
the conservative men. 1t Is only the in.
visibles in the war who are the invInoiblss
now in peace. These loud.mouthed Rspub-
lican hsw gags did no fighting, and would
not had the fate of the Union depended upon
their fighting. Barking dogs never bite"
is true adage, and so proven by the blow.
hards referred 10. Given anan whose pen or
tongue is continuously fighting uron the
lines OF the war, and whether ne be OF the
North or South, he is apt to have q record OF
having avoided battle. And tbs greater the
yalor of his words now, the more timid wss
his arm then. If this country were involved
in war tomorrow these spouting agitation
lists ever the war CT The rebellion would now,
as then, leave the fighting to the quiet,
sturdy, unpretentious men who speak more
by actions than word. The brave men,
both of the North and the South-men of
the stripe OF U. 8. Grant and r. E Lee
when the war YVES over ceased fighting; it
was the "bomb proofs" OF both sides that
''got their dsnder up" after the cosfict was
ended. The Northern soldier aud the South.
ern soldier of twenty years ago can mset and
talk, or can speak and write without raking
up, sententiously, the Issues and events in
which they were pitted against one another.
No; it is not for fun, nor altogether for
money, that tue Jimbainsiuc papers now
fight. 1t is out OF purs and unedulterated
brayery-but bravery which sheds ink

TBE NEW YORK DEMOCRACY

Nothing is so scststic 10 the opposition and
ITS organs as 10 give out the idea that the
New York Democracy are ali torn up into
shre ds and patches. TO know that Tsmnsuy

the dumps. IS sufficient to give them tremors
OF the most delightful sort. Mr.. John
Tresnor. of New York, who was
associated with the National Democratic
Committee during he last campaign, was in
Washington day or two sgo and sums up
all this talk about the New York Democracy
as follows: II have min gled with the lead
ing men of the several factions OK New York,
and there is almost unanlmity of expression
in favor of the administration. have talked
with the most prominent Tammany men.
have had numerous conversations with
Sheriff Davidson, who represents Irving Hall,
and l have heard the county Democracy
leaders express themselves. All of them
are delighted with the conduct OF the ad-
ministration 90 far. There is more harmony.
more cordial party feeling, within the Demo-
cratic party of New York now than ever,
and it is all owing to the good sense OF
the President and his Cabinet. Why, ihe
administration is but eight weeks old, and
our folks have not expected that within that
short time every thing could be done. 1 give
you my word there is no dissatisfac. on
among New York Democrats | have heard
more criticism of the administration The
few hours have been in Washington from
men who are disappointed about office than
has been uttered by all the Democrats of
New York. Our folks think the admins
tration is doing just right"
This opinion should be satisfactory on the
point. No one appreciates the vaue of mar
mony among the New York Democracy 90
highly as Mr. Cleveland. and we may be sure
that he will dosllin his power to preserve the
utmost good feeling in that direction. A more
important matter for the Republicans to
consider is how TO persuade or drive back
into their ranks the thousands OF these who
strsyed from the Republican party because
