The Democrats are having a bit
ter and bloody controversy among
themselves in Louisiana. There are
two Democratic candidates for the
Gubernatorial nomination - Me
Henry, the incumbent, and Nichols
an ex-governor. The bitterness be
tween them is unparalleled. Numer
GUS fights have occurred and nam
Der of deaths resulted. Each faction
is exposing the past misdeeds of the
other. and establishing all that the
Republicans have charged in the
frauds committed to secure Demo
cratic success. 1t is openly stated
that the ballot boxes have been stuff
ed, frauds of every hue perpetrated
heretofore IN the interest of the
Democracy, and that number Of
Democratic congressman returned
who we're honestly elected. The
exposure being made may have a
reforming effect, but it is probable
no good will come out of this Nazar
eth.

Need of Snowy Uniforms,

Lord Wolseley is very decided on the
value Of dress uniforms. 1.-THE soldier is
a peculiar animal" he says, 'who can
alone be brought to the highest efficiency
by inducing him to believe that he be-
longs to regiment infinitely superior to
others around him. In their desire to
foster this spirit colonies are greatly aided
by being able to point to some popularity
in dress" Again he says: 1.-THE better
you dress soldier the more highly he
will be thought of by women and conse-
quently by himself. "-Philadelphia Call.

SEVEN INJURED.
A Runaway Electric Motor in fittsburg
 Brushes Itself Against a Pole.


 PrTTsBURe. PA. August 3l.-The motor and car on the South Side Flee tric Railroad ran away this morning and was completely wrecked. Seven persons were in the car at the time and all were more or less seriously in iured, one of .hem, Mrs. Rachael Her ron, it is thought. is fatally hurt The motor and car were coming down the steep grade at Mount Olivet at 9 o'colck when the speed suddenly in- creased and the engineer lost control of the brakes. The train sped with lightning rapidity to the bottom of the hill, when it jumped the track and plunged into telegraph pole. The motor was twisted and broken and the cab was reduced to kindling wood. The force of the sudden stOppage snapped the coupling holding the car and hurled the latter into ditch at the side of the road. As stated before, all the occupants of the car were in jured.
 Mrs. Rachael Heron was terribly cut about tho head. face and body. She is unconscious ahd is believed to have sustained internal injuries.
 Mrs. Heinrich was cut about the head and body, but will recover.
 Charles Morgan, Mrs. Elizabeth Stewart and Mrs. Elizabeth Moore, the other passengers sustained painful cuts and bruises. but were able to re. turn to their homes unaccompanied,
 Engineer McGibbiny jumped from the cab when he saw that the collision was unavoidable, and was badly hurt
 Conductor Smythe also jumped and escaped with slight injuries.
 The cause of the accident is attri- buted to the engineers failing to lower the sprochet whesel, and being unable 10 stop the motor by use of the brake One of the passengers, however, claims that the engineer did lower the sprocket wheel, as he heard him do so, and that he is not responsible for the accident. The loss to the company will be quite heavy. This was the sec ond accident in three weeks. The es- cape of the passengers from instant death to-day is regarded as miraculous.
