A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.-Mr. VIM. Dor,
aid, brakeman on a freight train on the
Washington Southern Railway, met with a
terrible accident about midnight last night,
from the effects of which he died this even
ing. The unfortunate man was on a tram
WHICH was moving through the city about
that hour, and when near the intersection
of Prince and Fayette streets he jumped
from the cars to go to his home near by,
but, from some unforeseen circumstances,
be fell on the track, and before he could
crawl thersfrom almost the entire train
passed over his legs, crushing both, the
right merely hanging by the skin and the
left being terribly mashed. Mr.. Donald
was picked up and taken to the Infirmary,
where Drs. O'Brien. Smith and Ashby am
putated the right limb, but the weakened
condition Of the injured man was such that
it was deemed prudent not to remove the
left. A sad featu of the accident was the
fact that Mrs Donald was standing in her
door at the time of the accident awaiting
her husbands return home. The moon
was shining brightly, by the aid of which
she saw him make the unfortunate jump,
and was made an unwilling witness of the
terrible fate which befell him.-Alex.

Marriage Of Admiral Porter's daughter.
PERSEVERANCE AND FAITHFUL LOVE WI

PERSEVERANCE AND FAITHFUL LOVE WIN.
The Washington correspondent of the N.
Y. Herald, under date of OCT. 31st, says:-
Miss Elena Porter, daughter of Admiral
Porter, will he married on Thanksgiving
eve at St. Johns Church to Mr.. James
Campbell. This marriage is the culmina.
ton of long aud romantic courtship, which
has been kept up in spite of all objections
on the part of the lady's family, and which
has afforded society an instance of devoted
affection not often seen.
Admiral Porter has not allowed his
daughters sutton to enter his house for sew
eral years, aud her only chance to see hi N
was on the street or in the houses of their
friends. Every afternoon after four o'clock
Mr.. Campbell called fer Miss Porter and
the two took long walk together.
Mr.. Campbell belongs to an old and re-
spected Washington family, and he was
formerly captain in the army. He is tall,
dark and handsome.
Miss Porter is a graceful brunette, tall
aud always exquisitely attired.
They make fine looking couple.
How she has overcame her fathers op-
position is one of the conundrums of the
day.
Mr.. Campbell is clerk in the State De-
partment, and can offer his faithful bride
only the comforts of modest home
The past week they have asked their
friends TO be present at their marriage
Owing to Admiral Porter's weak CONDITION
the wedding will be very quiet, but all the
same ir will demonstrate that true love is
rewarded, and will be looked upon as the
most romantic marriage of the season.

a SAD ACCIDENT-kNOCKED FROM THE
BRIDGE BY FREIGHT TRAIN MIR. 81.
Seidenburg, clothing merchant ID
Waynesboro', was knocked from the bridge
crossing South River, yesterday about IL
O'Clock by freight train, sustaining very
severe if not fatal Injuries. He was on his
way to Basic City and on account of the
he Wy wind then prevailing did not hear
the approaching 5rain until it was within a
few feet of him. And although he used
every effort to ges across, he was caught
when near this side, carried back some
distance, and pitched over the side of the
bridge. falling abont thirty five fee5 to the
ground below. The train was running
very slowly and had the engineer been on
the lookout it could have easily been
stopped. Both engineer and fireman were
busy and did not notice Dir. Seidenburg
until after he had fallen. 1t is thought
that the wounds received will prove fatal.
The railroad bridge crossing South River
at Wayuesboro' is used by pedestrians,
although the railroad COMPANY has express
ly forbid it as being dangerous. There is
no room on it to stand while train passes,
and the only surprise to US is, that SO few
accidents have occurred at that place. 1t
is to be hoped that this will be warning
sufficient to prevent future occurrences Of
this kind.-Basic City Advance, Oct. 30.

The Philadelphia Press, the leading re.

opportunity for testing the need of fedora
supervision over such election"
This explains why the republicans in Vir.

requested by the leaders of the party to
run no candidates and to abstain from the
polls on the day of election. They want a
thin vote, at least on their side, aud will
claim it as the result of Intimidation" and
an Constructed ballot'',on the part of the
democrats. The game of deception is very
transparent, but will no doubt be strongly
appealed to by the leading agitators at tbs
next session of Congress as reason why
the Force bill should be adopted and the
Southern States put under the ban Of 6
tyrannical Iaw.-Lynchburg Adrance.

THE OFFICIAL CENSUS FIGURES. The
population of the United States, as ascer-
tanned By the eleventh census, was last
Friday officially ammo 1nced, the total, ex-
elusive of white persons in the Indian Ter
ritory, Indians on reservations and Alask-
aus, being e2.4S0,54O This is a disap-
pointing result, and most persons will see
10 its smallness conclusive proof that the
eleventh census was as badly taken
throughout the Union as it was in New
York. Ia 1870 the census showed a popn-
lation of SO 55S 371; in 1880 population of
so, 1876, 1888 tho increase ia the ten years be
ing II, 597 412, or 80 0S per cent. Between
1880 and 1890, if the new census is correct,
the increase was but IL, 1924, 757, or but
24.57 per cent. Upon their face these fig
ures show that between 1880 and 1890 the
population increas ed but 727, 345 more than
between 1870 and 1880, which is absurd.
That the percentage of increase since 1880
has fallen from 80. OS to 24.5T is also evil

which he so OPPORTUNITY revived thirty
mouths ago. He told of golden gates and

Scripture. The religious element of the

How Large Democratic Majority will be
used by the Republicans.

Though these lines are written before the
election, it will take place before they can
be published. We believe that the Demo-
Gratis of the South will be more than usually
successful, not only because of the out
rageous conduct of the Republicans in the
late Congress, and the fact that they have
demonstrated their purpose to Cypress the
people and plumber the government, but
because they do not desire to elect Republi-
can Congressman in the South, that they
may have pretext for passing the Force
Bill at the next session-that they may
charge that the Republican vote has been
suppressed, and that there is, therefore, a
necessity for the Force Bill; and, further
more, that they may say the solid South de-
mands solid North, and that they may
defeat the Democrats in the next Presi-
Dental election by making the North
solidly Republican by such appeals to
sectional feeling.
We believe it to be the duty of every
voter to cast his vote conscientiously, and
for what he believes will best subserve the
interests of the country; but We do not be-
lieve that the Republican leaders have any
regard for the expression of public senti-
.ment, and, consequently, do not believe
that any condemnation of their policy,
however emphatic, will deter them from
passing the Force Bill; on the contrary, we
believe that large Democratic majority in
the South will be acceptable to them, for
the reason that it will furnish them with a
pretext and mora plausible reason for the
passage of the Force Bill. If they do not
so use it, and falsely charge the suppression
of Republican votes, and denounce the
solid South whilst trying to make solid
North, and assign the Democratic majority
in the South as a reason for passing the
Force Bill, we will be agreeably disap-
pointed.
They will dissuade the Republicans from
voting, as they have done in this State, and
then, when the election is over, they will
charge that the Republican vote has been
inundated and suppressed, and that a
Federal election law is demanded to insure
- free vote and fair count"

THE NICKEL NAVY JOB Many persons
were pnzzed by two things that occurred
during the last session of Congress-one the
placing of nickel on the free list while tin
was removed from it, and the other the ap-
preparation of 81. 900, 900 to buy nickel for
the navy. The highly spectacular trial of
alleged armor plates with view to pre-
pairing the public mind for the $1,000, 900
appropriation excited the wonder of the OBJ
servant. Now it is found by Chicago pa
per that has been Investigating these mat
ters that they together constitute corrupt
job. The Standard Oil Company, which
owns the Sudbury nickel mines in Canada,
managed the whole thing. Its lobbyist got
the duty removed from nickel so that the
company's product might come in free and
the same lobbyist got the $1,000, 600 order
for nickel put through. Free nickel for its
navy job is what the Standard Oil Compa-
ny gets, in return, il is stated, for hand
some campaign contribution. Consistency
would seem to demand that Congress
that puts duty on pig tin
should keep the duty in nickel, but the fact
that bigger contribution could be gotten
for free than for taxed nickel settled the
matter.
