Peculiar Acc10eht happens tO S Ohn WaIters-Struck by a Flying Iron Bar-IIis Skull Fractured.
 BRIDGEPORT, Aug. 17.-John Walters, blacksmith employed at Eaton, Cole & Burnham's, met with peculiar accident this morning which may result seriously. He was forging large piece of iron with the assistance of a helper. Just as the latter was about to strike blow with heavy sledge the iron slipped. The ham mer struck the end of the forging and caused it to fly up in the air. The end struck Mir. Walters squarely between the two eyes, knocking him down partially in- sensible. Restorative were administered, and after a little while MT. Walters recov cred. He tried to finish his work, but was attacked with dull, peculiar pain in his head, and his shopmatss advised him to go to the emergency. He did not want to at first, as he thought that there was nothing but little cut about an inch long and bruise, but as the dizziness increased he finally walked to the hospital accompanied by friend. Upon his arrival there Dr. Haskell made an examination and found that the skull was fractured just above the bridge of the nose to the right. Proper remedies were applied, and then MT. Wal
 
 rest is imperative, although the fracture is not necessarily fatal
 Arrested on a New Charge. The case of Joseph Doyle and Olga Ack- erberg is developing very interesting de- tails. It is alleged that Doyle went to the girls boarding house and tried to intimi- | date her to stop proceedings against him. On Wednesday afternoon Doyle was arrest | ed on the charge of interfering with wit ness and his bond was placed at $500, be- l ing unable to obtain which he WAS locked | up.
 Miss Aokerberg's story, which she told in the presence of Court Officer Waas, ia that Doyle came to her and said that If she did not stop proceedings against him he would expose certain letters which she had | written to him and for the contents of which she could be severely punished The girl was apparently greatly frightened and when she appeared in the city court l yesterday morning she WAS greatly agitat. ed. It is also alleged that Attorney Hay, den called on the girl in company with Doyle, and Attorney Fox stated in court yesterday morning that he could prefer charges against him also if he wished tc prosecute them.
 | Doyle secured the amount of his bond for the first charge yesterday afternoon but he had no sooner been released iron the criminal suit than papers were served on him by Constables Thomson and Shet in bsstardy suit brought by the gir through Attorneys John F. Wynne and B. Futile. Doyle was brought before Jus tice of the Peace E. L. Linsley and given preliminary hearing. The case was con tinued under $500 bond until next Tues day.

A STATE DISGRACE.

Governor Waite of Colorado has in
formed shrinking monometallists that
he will fight for free coinage until "hell
freezes over" His pertinacity in the
contest ia commendable but his manner
OF expression is execrable and brings
additional contempt upon him. The
governor seems to have taken Pennoyer
of Oregon as standard of gubernatorial
excellence but be lacks even the modi-
cum of good sense, which though it does
not at all time prevent the We bfoot gov
ernor from making an ass of himself, at
least prevents him from inficting SER
ious damage upon the state.
Governor Waite is held in by no such
restraining influence but it keeps the
combined intelligence OF the business
men of Colorado to avert the dangers
with which he threatens the common
wealth. They cannot, however, keep
his mouth shut or compel him to clothe
his Office with dignity. His utterances
during the debate in congress on the
repeal of the purchasing clause preiu-
diced eastern capitalists who had
reason to believe that the governor
represented a majority, large if not
respectable, of the people of Colorado.
His latest folly was the extra session
proposition, which was go threatening
as to call together the Leading business
men of the state to protest against it.
Even the porcine governor has been
driven from his stand and has half &C.
knoWledged his folly. 1t was in the
course of his forced acknowledgment
that he uttered the vulgar expression
above quoted.
Colorado has suffered many woes
within the past two years but the direst
was the infection of the Populist Gov
ernor Waite.
1t is singular but true that all the
efforts of men of such acknowledged
ability as Senators Teller and Wolcott
may be neutralized by the .foolishnest
of Waite.

A CHOICE OF METHODS.

Two negroes are being held at Du-
rant, Miss, for a kind of horrible
Christmas festivity which will be duly
celebrated in the event that another
negro is caught to complete sacrifcial
trio accused of numbering white man
and burning his house to conceal the
crime. These negroes are doomed to be
burned alive, not only for punishment
but as an expression of sentiment
against crime, particularly the crime of
murder.
This event, if it transpires, will be
followed by utterances of horror by
newspapers north of Mason and Dixon's
line and lamentation over the cruelty
and lawlessness of the people living
south. The newspapers south of Mason
and Dixon's line will publish matter-of-
fact accounts of the affair, but will re-
frain from comment and will remain
silent under the castigation of their
Northern brethren. In which respect
they will follow the example of their
Northern brethren, who, wnen a wretch
was dragged away from officers of the
law at Ottumwa. Ia, few weeks ago
and hanged just outside the court
house, preserved respectful and digni-
fed silence on the subject of lynching.
The moral of this is that the differ
ence between the people of Iowa and
the people of Mississippi, or for tnat mat
ter between the people of any two Sec
tions of the country is very narrow
and is involved in a discussion of this
unsettled question: Under what cir
cumstances are hangings allowable, and
