A Grand Jury Wanted

"f an engine meet an engine,
Coming round curve,
If they smash track, train and engine,
What do they deserved
Not penny. paid to any,
For, as We observe,
They all acquit the engineer,
When coming round the curve
On the 18th of the present month,
two young men, sons Of one of our
most worthy and respected citizens,
were done to death By a collision in the
yards in this place.
The evidence before the coroners in
~ was overwhelming that the death Of
the two men was caused by the crimi-
nal carelessness of the railroads en-
ployees. and verdict in accordance
with the evidence was rendered by the
jury. The coroner promptly issued
warrants for the arrest of two of said
employees, and they were bound over
IN the sum of 5000, for a preliminary
examination, which was held last Mon
day and the complaints dismissed.
Is haman life of so little value, that
it is entitled to no protection? Or are
our courts dominated by railroad in.
Alence, or are our prosecuting officers
incapable or worse.
The parties should have been held
for trial, and a jury Of twelve citizens,
after careful hearing of the evidence
should have decided on their guilt or
innocence, and we think grand jury
should be demanded to inquire into the
matter. We shall have more to say Of
this matter, when we have learned more
about the trial before the justice.

Tho Republican County conyen.

u00s
TIE republican county convention
met at McCarty's rink, At ten o'clocl
last Tuesday, and Was called to orde
BY Andrew Russell, chairman Of tn
central committee. John Goodwin,
was chosen temporary chairman, ant
Mr.. Upp Of Speareville, temporary sec
rotary. After the appointment of com
; mittees, the convention adjourned t.
l 80 o'clock p. NJ.
At the afternoon session, the tempo
rary organisation was made perma
nent.
There was . contested delegation
from Fonda, one set having been elect
ed between l and 2 o'clock, on a cal
BY the central committeeman of tha
precinct, and the other between 3 ant
5 o'clock as ordered BY the central com
mittee. The latter delegation va.
seated after . strong debate, and gooi
deal of harsh talk and hard feeling be-
tween the different aspirants.
The usual republican buncombe res
olutions were adopted endorsing every
thing and everybody from Harrison to
Humphrey.
A resubmiasion resolution was intro.
duced, and met its usual fate, being
laid on the table, while one delegate
moved to lay it under the table. -
E. Z. Smith, j. A. Arnent, Andy
Russell and Dr.. c. A. Milton were
chosen as delegates to the COMPRESSION
al convention to be held in this city Ju-
ly 3Oth. Lafayette Sims, John Groen.
dyke and J. NJ. Burson were selected
as delegates to the state convention.
NJ. w. Sutton and R. NJ. Wright re-
fused to let their names go before the
convention as candidates for represen-
tative. John Finley was nominated.
There was lively fight over the NOM
ination for clerk of the district court,
there being five names before the con-
vention, a. follows: j. E. Voorhees,,
H. NJ. Clark, of Speareville, j. C.
Baird, W. T. Watson. It took nine
ballots to decide which candidate was
the strongest. On the last ballot, the
fight had narrowed to Clark Of Speare-
vile and Watson Of Dodge City, Mr..
Clark winning by vote Of 81 to 30.
Mr.. E. H. Madison was renomina.
ted by reclamation, for county attor.
ney.
Teere was spirited contest for coun-
ty superintendent of public instruction
between Miss Fannie Thome, the pres
ent incumbent, and Mr.. j. A. Beadle.
the gentleman winning BY . vote Of 36
to 80.
In this instance, the republican par
ty went back on it, declaration Of prin-
ciples. It has always professed to be
the peculiar champion Of women, and
it is usual in al parties where the in
cumbent Of an Office has shown . good
record, to give them the nomination
for second term. But il was left foz
the republicans of Ford county to Be
so ungallant as to defeat . lady who
was elected by themselves two years
ago, and who has filed the position
with credit to hersslf and the party
that placed her in Office.
D. W. Motif was renominated for
probate judge by reclamation.
Taken altogether, the convention
Was stormy one, and ticket has mary
elements of weakness, and if the Dem
ocracy nominate good men and are har-
monious, they should elect their ticket
BY the largest majopty that Ford coun-
ty has ever given any ticket.

 The papers in the case include @ letter to the Governor from Attorney General Tabor: preferring charges against ths sheriff of conspiracy, of which crime he has been convicted The attorney general says that though such convio- tion does not of itself create a vacancy in the office of sheriff, being a misde- meanor and not an infamous crime" within the meaning of the law, yet the conviction gives proper ground for re- moval.

 CINCINNATI, O., March 25.-Hundreds 8 of families have been driven from their homes by the rising waters in the cities and towns along the Ohio valley, The river is now sixty feet high. and is still rising. It is believed that nothing but the intervention of Providence can keep the waters below seventy feet. The flood threatens the water supply here.
 Water covers the floor of the Grand Central depot like yellow blanket. No trains are coming into it now, and passengers must hunt far away stations and out oft way places.
 The Clark Street Surface Road has been compelled to stop, and the 25th Ward with its 5000 people must come to town in skiffs or stay at home The scenes on the levce are full of excite ment.
 The hundreds of families in the vicinity of Front and Second streets. between Central avenue and Vine street, four squares long and three deep, are packed ready to get out, all about Broadway. Main and Sycamore streets for three squares back from the river the merchants are moving their goods into the stores, while further back the basements are being deserted
 Hundreds of teams are at work nov ing valuables and thousands of men are hurrying to and fro. Every express cart and transfer wagon in the city is employed. To add to the confusion. thousands of sightseers throng the levees and crowd the bridges.
 In Newport two thousand people have been driven from their homes and are buildings, and every factory of import ance in the town is closed at Ports mouth, the water having reached the heart of the city.
 There is great suffering at Newport, Ky. The railroads lose $2O,O0O There are hundreds of homeless persons at Portsmouth, O.. whose dwellings have been inundated or swept away by the floods.
 All railroads except the Chesapeake & Ohio and the Kentucky Central have been compelled to abandon the Central Union Depot. Covington and Newport are cut off from the city so far as street car traffic is concerned. Ferries are obliged to stop because they cannot find landing points. The casualty list began to be made up yesterday when two men and boy were drowned back of Covington by the capsizing of their skiff.
 The distress in Newport, Bellevue and Dayton, Ky, is something painful Thousands of families are driven from their homes. 1.-The damage is very great.

Appointments by the Emperor and Ru-

 BERLIN, March 25.-Emperor William, it is reported, has notified Elm peror Francis Joseph and King Hum bert, that tAe triple alliance will not be disturbed by the resignation of Prince Bismarck.
 The following appointments have been made by Emperor William Count Gutenberg, to be Minister of the Interior; Herr Miguel, to be Minister of Finance; Baron Huene, to be Minister of Agriculture, and General Goldz, to be Minister of Railways.
 Prince Bismarck's discourteous re- fusal to see the Prince of Wales when the latter called on him, on the plea of indisrosition, when as Q matter of fact the late Chancellor was perfectly we'll, is much commented upon. On the real state of the case being made known to the Prince, he took 1t spontaneously and said: "So great man and so noble a patriot as Bismarck may be allowed to infringe the strict rules of etiquette, even with princes"

The Prisoners Securs R Suspension of
 Judgme ent Till Friday.
 NEW YORK, March 25.-Sheriff Flack, his son Will and Referee Meeks secured a suspension of sentence until Friday.
 In postponing the passing of sentence Judge Barrett said to counsel: "In view of the fact that each of these de- fendants stand upon different basis, both as to evidence, as to conviction and as to circumstances surrounding the case, and also as to the gravity to two of the defendants of conviction, to one az the holder of high office, to the other as an attorney, and considering the facts which have been laid before me since the adjournment, I want time to satisfy my own mind as to what ought to do. am not prepared to pronounce judgment which would be satisfactory to my own conscience unless I can have time to reflect. 1 shall be prepared to pronounce judgment on Friday morning. There is another matter I desire to speak of before the postponement for the consideration of the judgment That is with regard to the episode of the appearance of a reporter in the jury room. I desire that Q rule to show cause shall issue against this person, MT. Dill worth Choate, to show whether he should not be punished for contempt of court. This will afford him an oppor- tunity to obtain counsel.
 ''The District Attorney will dictate to the stenographer an exact transcript of what took place, with affidavits of some of the attendants in court.
 ''If it be shown that this person in our presence agreed not to publish what he had written concerning the proceedings in the jury room, and if he has since published it, that will constitute an ag- gravation of the'contempt"
 Both the Flacks and Referee Meeks looked relieved at the postponement of the sentence, and particularly when Judge Barrett announced that they would not be required to renew or give additional bail

French eng eers are planning for an attack upon +,1at hitherto virgin peak of the Alps, the :ungfrau. They propose to continue the present line of railroad from Interlaken to Lauterbrunnen as far as Stockelborg, at the foot of the Jung frau,and thence to mount up by Q success sion of slan-ing cable roads, forming zigzag, to a height of some twelve thou sand feet, landing nearly at the summit of the mountain, where there will be hotel for the excursionists who are ex- pected to make the trip by thousands daily. There will have to be five steps to the great staircase, and separate railroad for each step, making Ave changes of cars necessary to reach the summit.

BoRDENTowN, N. J., March 25.-The Washington express ran into the rear of freight train near near Bristol, Pa., ', on the New York division of the Penn sylvania Railroad and the express train was derailed. Engineer Kelly had three of the fingers of his right hand cut of, and his fireman had one leg so badly lacerated that it became necessary to amputate it. The accident, which it is said was caused by the operator setting white instead of red signal, caused a block on the road for several hours.
