Terrible Coasting Accident.

OswEGo, N. Y. Jan. 16-Benjamin Sawyer,
one of the young men injured in the coastinG
accident, Saturday evening, is dead, and one or
two others are liable to die. There were ten
persons on the bob-seds. The hill where the
accident occurred is very steep and was one
mass of ice and the hobs running at least
seventy-fve miles an hour. Near the bottom of
the hill they ran into heavy load of timber,
knocking it into ditch. Every person the
hobs was rendered insensble from the force of
the collision, and some horribly cut and
consciousness; both hips were broken and the
bones driven into his abdomen. He was married
on New Years day. 1t required hundred
stitches to sew up the cuts in John Malotts alb
domen, and his arm was broken and his head
cut. George Sawyer, brother of the dead man,
has a fractured skull. Others in bad shape.
The City Council set aside the hill where the ac-
cident occurred for coastiug. The farmer who
owned the load of timber warned of the ap-
proach of the hobs, but refused to stop for q
moment It is said he was Intoxicated.

MIR. Henderson's visit to washin gton.

Mr.. Henderson's Visit to Washington.
William Henderson, who reached home from
Washington night before last, yesterday gave
some interesting and significant facts relative
to his calling Attorney general Garland in
reference to having Judge Ciaypool appointed
assistant to District Attorney Sellers in pros
ecuting the tally-sheet consprators. The meet
ing with Mr.. Garland was arranged, Mr.. Hen
derson says by Civil-service Commissioner
Edgerton, with whom he called on the Attorney
general the next morning. He told that officer
that the purpose OF his visit could be
best explained in the memorial OF the committee
of one hundred. Mr.. Henderson says he read
but few lines when Mr.. Garland said, II see
that this pertains what is known as the tally
sheet cases in your city. Certain politicians
from your State have petitioned the President
and myself TO have these cases dismissed, and
we have declined 10 do it." The Attorney gen
eral, it seems, thought Mr.. Henderson was there
with petition to the same effect. but the visitor
corrected him and Mr. Garland replied, ''Then
/ will hear you"
When the memorial read Mr. Garland
asked him if he should appoint Judge Claypool
would the committee of one hundred employ
Captain Ritter, which Mr.. Henderson answered
in the affirmative. After some convers alton
concerning Judge Clay pools ability, which Mr..
Edgerton strongly Endorsed, the Attorney gem
eral said that ne then had to attend Cabinet
meeting, when he would consult the President,
and after that he would send a messenger to Mr.
Henderson with information as to what would
be done in the matter. Instead of sending word
by a messenger, Mr.. Garland himself called
Mr.. Henderson at the Riggs House, after
the Cabinet meeting, and said to him that
Judge Claypool would be appointed, and
thyt the papers relating thereto would be ready
mt o'clock. At that hour Mr.. Henderson pro-
cured the papers and forwarded them to Judge
Claypool by express. He thought that a safer
plan, he once sent valuable matter pertaining
to the case through the mails to Captain Ritter,
who never received it. He also called on the
President who said he had heard of his coming
and expressed satisfaction in his visitor having
accomplished his mission. Mr.. Henderson says
Captain Ritter 10 anxious to do all he can in
sistng the prosecution. but he will not appear
at the trial account of the unfriendliness with
which Mr.. Sellers regards him.
