The death at Boston, Mass, Sun
day last, of Charles Frrncis Adams,
Sr., is announced. He was the third
son of President John Quincy Adams
and was born in 1907. His death is
less IN event Of contemporaneous in
terest than nm occasion for reminis
cences, the aged statesman through
decay of his bodily and mentalpowers
having been practically dead to the
public for several years, One of his
earliest public experiences was as n
candidate for Vice President on the
same ticket with Martin Van Buren,
for president in the Free Soil upris-
ing of 1913. In thus uniting in a
grand cause with the old political
enemy of his father and family Mr..
Adams strikingly showed the eleva-
ton and liberality Of his nature. He
was was afterwards n mem Der OF
Congress, but his browning service
was MS Minister to England during
Lincoln's administration, position
which he filed during those trouble
some times with signal success. Mr..
Adams had the unique fortune to be
the son of one President of the Unit
ed States and the grandson OF an
other, and was himself an aspirant for
that high office, position he was
eminentiy qualified to fill. 1t was
expected by many of the leading Lib
oral Republican leaders that he would
receive the nomination for president
at the Cincinnati convention OF 1872.
Had such proved the case, it is by no
means unlikely that he would have
been elected, tho cause OF reform
been saved from subsequent relnpses,
and the country been spared the
cruel sacrifice of poor Greeley.

The late III. Nj. HoXie began life as
hostler in country town in Iowa,
and worked his way up, through all
manner of Disadvantages, until he
received the appointment of U. S.
Marshal from President Lincoln.
He came to Texas soon after the war;

He was q strong man of stern un-
swerving loyalty to what he conceived
to be his duty, yot with warm human
sympathies. His remains were taken
from New York, where he died, to
Des Moines, Iowa, by his request,
and laid besides those of u son who
died there in early life. His life was
a stern conflict. May he have found

A Serious Accident.

]. L. Dryden, who was strong and
popular candidate before the republican
convention at Monmouth, which n0mina-
ted W. II. Gest for congress, met with a
terrible accident at Alexis Wednesday
evening. Exactly how the accident hap,
pened is not known, as Mr.. Dryden, who
had been conveyed to his home in Mon
mouth, had not recovered consciousness
sufficiently to state. The casualty hap
pened on the c., B. i @ road, however,
and from dispatch from Alexis to the
Monmouth Gazette, these particulars are
obtained: The south bound train was
late and running fast. Dryden attempted
TO 90 from the Alexis hotel after the
whistle sounded and had cleared the rail
lie was struck by the steam box on the
engine and thrown twenty feet forward
and eight east. He fell on the depot plat
form. The engineer said that Mr. Dryden
must have been lying on the engine ua,
conscious when lie started, that immedi-
ately upon starting up he, the engineer,
saw the form of the inscnsible man and
a. once stopped the wheels, but not until
the injuries above alluded to had been in
ficted. 1t is the opinion of some that
Mr.. Dryden was running along parallel
with the locomotive and that his clothing
caught in some of the wheels or moving
machine ry. However it happened, the
accident was terrible one. After he
was put on the train the injured man
spoke but twice, calling the names of
dear ones. Any number of men were
ready to help in caring for the sufferer,
but it was little they could do. The
train reached Monmouth about 30 yes
terday morning, and it was o'clock
when the unconscious man lay upon
bed in his own house The latest reports
from the patient were not at all encourag
ing, though the attending physicians
were quite hopeful.
