Narrowly Escaped Horrible Accident

An accident that might have resulted IA
tally to several persons occurred at the juno
ton of Shawmut avenue and Pleasant street,
Boston. A party of six persons, in double
seated carriage, were driving through Pleas
ant street, towards Shawinut avenue, as two
electric cars, shaekled together, were driving
up the avenue toward the junction. The
driver, unheeding the gong which was
sounded from the forward ear, attempted to
drive across the track. The carriage was
fairly on the track when it was struck by the
approaching cars, which fortunately were
running at moderate rate of speed at the
time.
The quick work of the car driver averted o
horrible accident. The horse was thrown
down and one Of the male occupants of the
carriage prccipitated rather unceremoniously
to the ground, but with the exception of q
badly wrecked turnout, the party escaped
without injury.

that county.

There are two other possible candidates,
and the race promises to be a lively one.
Elberton Star: We have seen it is stated
in several papers in the state that Col.
Mattox of this county would probably be
in the race for congress. Col. Mattox has
made no authoritative announcement as
yet.

ter from Hon. J. d. Stewart, the able con-
gresham from this district, in which he
strongly favors the coming convention of
northeners to be held at Douglasvllle on
June IS, and says that, in his opinion, if
managed judiciously, this will accomplish
much for the south. He suggests the dis
cussiol of the following subjects by the
convention: |. The capabilities of the south.
2. The kindly treatment which northern
people receive. 3. The relation of southern
white people toward the colored race. 4.
The manner of conducting elections in the
south. Judge Stewart thinks that il a
favorable report is made upon these topics
it will have good effect upon the north,
and will largely silence the attacks made by
ignorant, malevolent demagogues upon the
fairest, most prosperous and most peaceful
section i'll the United States.

sUBsTDTzING THE PRESS.

Papers hostile to Mr.. Page have
recently given currency to a report
that the gentleman in question offer
ed certain paper in the state 5000
for its support, the amount to be
made $500 if he secured the nomina-
tion. If trueit appeared to the Gale
DOMAIN that this charge reflected up
on all the journals that have spoken
good words for Mr.. Page. There is
contamination in the touch of a
candidacy advanced by such means
This paper therefore determined to
know the truth. The details given
by the St. Adams Messenger were
sufficient to identify the transaction.
We have obtained the facts, had ac-
cess to the correspondence in thecase
or to copies thereof, and give plain
statement of the circumstances, with
out giving names or going into de-
tails.
Some weeks ago, after some cores
pondence, a certain publisher, init
mating that he should prefer to sup
port Mr.. Page, declared that he
would do so upon a guarantee of
5000, to be made $500 if Mr.. Pages
canvass was successful. Upon hear
ing this proposition Mr.. Page wrote
to the publisher as follows:
81 feel compelled as a matter of
honor to decline the proposition you
make | have declined absolute
ly to influence any paper to support
me by offering remuneration of any
kind. The office of gov
ernor is of very little Importance to
me if it comes to me through meth
DDS which | cannot defend openly"
