A Chapter of Accidents.

Robert McKelvey, who several years
since purchased the Cooper place on
Gray's Hill, near Elkton, was seriously
| injured on Tuesday. He was superin-
tending the cutting of tree by his sons,
and when the tree was about to fall cried
out for all to get out of the way. He
neglected to move a sufficient distance
himself, however, and was struck a
glancing blow on the top of the head by
the falling tree. He was knocked sense
less. and the scalp was broken the whole
! length of his head. He also sustained
severe bruises ON his neck and shoulders.
Annie Walls, niece of Andrew Brad
ley, who owns the Peter Murphy place
ON the Nottingham road, near Elkton,
was kicked on the head by horse on
Monday evening. 1t was at first thought
that her injuries were of serious nature,
but DR.. H. II. Mitchell, who was sum-
moned, assured the family that such was
not the case.
| w. B. Mason, who lives near Lewis
vile, Pa, met with a serious accident on
Thursday of last week. While driving
near Moore's chapel, in the Fourth cleo
ton district of this county, his horses
became frightened and unmanageable.
He was thrown out, and his jaw bone
broken in two places, his nose smashed,
and also sustained bad bruises. He was
attended by three physicians.
| Frank Cochran, who works for Howard
Reeder, near Zion, was kicked by horse
while blowing last week, and was badly
injured.
Visiting the Old Homestead.
Mr.. Louis McLane, of Baltimore,
brother of Ex-Governor Robert McLane,
now Minister to France, came to Elkton
on Thursday accompanied by his son,
five daughters and two other ladies, the
express train passing here about $50 A.
NJ. stopping for their accommodation.
They were met at the depot by teams
from the Howard House stables and
taken to Bohemia" the old McLane
homestead in Sassafras Neck, where
Louis and Robert were born and raised
The place is now owned, aud, until two
years since, occupied by VIM. NJ. Knight,
deputy collector of customs at the Port
of Baltimore, whose father bought it of
the late Louis McLane. The party re-

Jail-Breaking at Newberry.

NEwDERRy. Dec. 5-This evening al
o'clock the alarm Of fire was sounded, and
the department responded promptly. No
fire was to be found. The sound of the
alarm came from the neighborhood of the
jail, and it was discovered that instead Of
= fire there was an effort of some Of the
prisoners to escape. Old man Martin, the
negro who attends to feeding the prisoners,
went up as usual, and on opening the cell
three of the prisoners made an assault on
him, knocking him down, and attempted
to throw him from the third story window,
but he caught hold of the lightning
rod and held to it. Two Of the prisoners
leaped from this window to the ground, a
distance Of fifty feet. These were Silss
Kennedy, awaiting trial on the charge OF
forgery, and Douglas Coleman, under SEN
tence of death, having been convicted at
the last term of court of the murder OF
Isaac Boczer. Kennedy made his escape,
but Coleman was found lying on the
ground badly hurt He was carried back
in the Jail How badly he was hurt could
not be learned tonight The Sheriff thinks
the whole affair was planned by Kennedy.

An Anarchist Murderer.

ISpIANAPoLIs, Dec. 3.-Perhaps the
most desperate and coolest blooded attempt
to commit murder that eyer occurred ~
this CITY took place between and 2 o'clock
this morning in the bakery of John P.
Bruce. at 5s3 Virginia avenue. About
three years ago Bruce took into his
employ q poor German nameo
George Hacker and learned him
the trade. Hacker gradually devel-
oped into full blown Anarchist and Soc!a-
list and when conversing on the subject OF
anarchy would grow excited and abusive.
Bruce is an ardent Republican and every
time be would mention the election of
General Harrison and exhibit any grattfl-
cation over the result Hacker would be-
come violently enraged. He was tolerated
about the bakery, his i'll temper being re-
gardel with leniency.
This morning when Bruce entered the
bakery to mix the flour for his Dresd,
Hacker, who had concealed himself in the
room, spraug on him with hatchet and u
long knife. He struck Bruce about the eye
with the sharp edge of the hatchet and On
the head with the blunt side; and then be
crowded his victim against the wall and
deliberately plunged the dagger nine times
into Bruce's neck and face. The victim
finally cried out for his wife and the brave
little woman rushed into the dimly-lighted
room and grabbed The bloody Anarchist
about the neck, dragging him away from
her husband just as he was lifting the
hatchet to brain him. A terrible struggle
took place. He was wild with murderous
hate, and, holding his bloody knife in hand
be rushed about she room, endeavorlng to
again az get at the dying Bruce. He finally
did get by the shielding wife and reached
Bruce, when the latter, who is OF giant
frame, struggled to his feet in dying et-
fort and grabbed him, striking Hacker
blow on the head which made coward of
him, as he fled, lodging the police outside,
and is still at large. Bruce is still at the
hospital with slim hopes of living through
the night. The fendishness OF the attack
coupled with the base ingratitude OF the
Anarchist, creates intense feeling among
Bruce's friends.

The Negro Satisfied.

The New York Worlo has had rcpresen-
tativc negroes in all the Southern States
interviewed concerning the political con-
dition of the negroes in the South. From
only three points are there complaints that
negroes are inte,fered with in the exercise
of their rights as electors-Baltimore, Rich-
mond, and Greenville, S. c. In every
other section of the South the negroes say
that they are not restricted in their rights
as citizens. They are satisfied with the ex-
listing order of things. They ask no inter
ference upon the part of the incoming ad-
ministration. They are, as a rule, content
with what has been accorded them, and
their testimony is in the main highly COM
plimentary to the white people of the
South.

An Inccndiary Fire.

The barn and stable of Hon. G. L. Con-
rors was burned to the ground on Monday
morning last. His fine horse and two p'-
.al young mules were burned with III.
building. He also lost by the fire abJ"t
5000 bundles of fodder, 700 bushels of corn
one bale of seed cotton, 3U0 bushels of cot
ton seed and d new buggy anda set of new
harness. His losses aggregate about ST.
900. He had no insurance except about
$3.50, on the building. The tire was dis
covered about o'clock 1t seemed to have
originated in the fodder as the flames were
confined to the second story of the build
ing when the fire was first observed. The
origin Of the fire cannot be accounted for
except that it was the work Of an incen-
diary.-Lancaster Ledger.

A DEAD LOCK OF FIFTY YEARS AGO
bow Democrats and Wings Ouarrelled In
Organizing the House and HOW the
Knot WAS Cut.
From The BALTIMORE American

Organizing the House and How the
Knot was Cut.
(From the Baltimore American)
It was Just fifty years ago when
the Fifty-irst Congress met. The Twen-
ty-sixth Congress assembled for organ
ization on December 2, 1889. Hugh A.
Garland was clerk. The question arose
over the contest for the seat of five Rep
resentatives-elect, who having the COM
mission of the Governor, had been placed
upon the roll by the clerk. These men
were Wings, while their opponents, who
contested the seats, were Democrats.
These representatives were from New
jersey. The importance of the question
arose from the fact that the House was
near tie politically, and Wing major
ity would be secured by the admission
of the members holding the commissions
of the governor. The admission of the
contestants, on the other hand, would
give the Democrats a preponderance.
The rule of the House then was what
it is now being that the statute of 1867.
incorporated in the Revised Statutes,
section 81, has converted usage into
law.
The reading of the roll ha5 proceeded
until the State of New Jersey was
reached, when the clerk stopped and an
nounced that he had received different
return as to the FIVE members sent to
him by the Secretary Of State of New
Jersey, as he had certified to the election
of five Democratic members not on the
roll. The clerk, on being requested to
proceed with the reading of the names
on the roll, refused.
The scene of disorder which ensued
continued for three days, and on the
fourth day the case was started to the
House by John Quincy Adams, who ap-
pealed to the majority of the House to
act. Mr.. Rhett in consequence made
the motion which was submitted by Mr..
Adams that the House should appoint a
temporary chairman and organize with
out the clerk. Another long contest en-
sued when this was done, at the end of
which the House passed a resultation or
dering that the names Of those be read
whose rights to seats were not contested.
In this way the House was organized,
and r. NJ. Z. Hunter elected Speaker.
The five Democrats were then admitted
to membership, to the exclusion of the
five Wings who bore certificates.
This action called for the severest cen.
sure from the public. which criticised
harshly the unconstitutionality of the
whole proceeding. There is, therefore,
. precedent for the action said to be con-
tenclated by some Republicans. But
there is little probability of a repetition
of these scenes. The Republicans have
fairly and honestly elected q majority of
the Representatives, and that majority
will organize the Fifty-frst Congress.
Senator Quay, chairman Of the Repub-
lican National Committee, said to day
that the Republicans would have a ma
iority of nine n the next House. 81 do
not believe" he added, "that the DEM
ocratic Governors of States will give GER
tifcates of election to Democrats simply
because they agree in political faith. [
shall refuse to believe that any such
thing will be done until see it. y
