THE STORY OF SEDGWICK,

ESSE AUD THEBB. The Knights TemfiLv parade at St, LonVB was n grand affair. Tli populat ion of the eity, augmented by 200,000 stranRors, was on the street to view the pageant. There were 25,000 Knights in line. The parade passed the Exposition building, in front of which, from the reviewing stand, the Grand Encampment, with State and city officers and prominent visitors reviewed it. After a march of over a hundred blocks the line was dismissed. The weather was most auspicious, and the pageant was

one of the most brilliant ever witnessed on

this continent.

Wigoihs' prediction that Galveston,

Texas, and other citieB will be visited by a disastrous earthquake, is causing a great deal of apprehension among tho colored people, especially women, many of whom are firm believers in Wiggins. In the intelligent portion of the community the

prediction causes no apprehension what

ever, with anxiety nepictea upon taeir faces, many colored men sk for o. Iniona of their white friends on the situation, and though for the time being their fears may be allayed, no amount of counsel will entirely eradicate the effect of Wiggins' prophecy.

The Lumber Manufacturers Association

is holding its annual convention in Chicago. E. S. Durand, of Stillwater, Stiun., was elected President for the ensuing year.

A collision occurred at Newburg, W.

Va., between a hand-car loaded with men.

and a freight train. II seems the men hod

been repairing a washout, and, having fin

ished, placed the nana-car on me itock and started on a down-grade. Just as they

reached a curve a freight tram appeared m

sight, comini? at a rapid rate. A collision

being inevitable, most of the men jmnped, but Henry Wolffe, not being able to get off, was struck by the train and crushed to a jelly. His mangled remains were found all along the track. Those who jumped sustained broken limbs and serious wonnds, but none fatal.

Gov. OoiiESBT and Attorney General

Hunt ate in Chicago to confer with the Live Stock Commission in regard to measures to be used to wipe out the cattle plague, stated to be prevailing there. Tho Governor made personal inspection of the premises of the Phoenix dislill'iy sheds, where the animals were slaughtered before his eyes, and tho diseased lungs were examined. The prospects now are that the commission will order all cattle in the

sheds slaughtered and the stables burned to the eronnd. There is little doubt that

the Governor will advise this. Other States are preparing to quarantine against Illinois cattle, if this is not done.

Some time ago the town of Washington, Davies County, Ind., voted $50,000 to the Ohio and Mississippi Railway Company as a bonus to secure the location at that point of the shops of the road. A few days since a citizen of Knox County, which ad

joins Davies on the west, filed a suit praying for an injunction aguiuBt the payment of this bonus. Vincennes, the county seat

of Knox, has hitherto been the city iroui which Washington drew the bulk of ila mercantile supplies, but the tiling of this suit promises to work a change. An indignation meeting was held at Washington, at which it was determined to boycott Vincennlfe, her brewery, wholesale houses, mills, factories, and stores of every description. The meeting was largely attended, and its action has aroused considerable excitement at Vincenncs, a number of whose citizens have gone to Washington to try to counsel better feeling. The New York Central Labor Union has nominated Henry George for Mayor. Gebokimo tells a peculiar tale of his relations with Gen. Crook. Only the outline of the slory has leaked out, and is that about fom months ago, immediately after the arduous business of capturing Geronimo was taken out of the hands of Gen. Crook and turned over to Geu. Miles, Geronimo captured his pursuer. Ho did not proceed to extremities, as Gen. Crook promised that ho might make one more raid into Mexico, and then return to the reservation in peace. At the time Geronimo claims to have captured Gen. Crook the Utter had a small army under his command in comparison with the forces of Geronimo.

His Disgraceful Escapade at the Mexican Capital The Alleged True Story '.Cold in Detail.

The naif Has Not Been Told His Dobaneli at the Jockey Club and the Hotel Iturbitle.

The Orgie at a Disreputable House Efforts of the Envoy and His Friends to Suppress the Truth.

So many conflicting statements have been made concerning tho recont escapade of

Envoy Sedgwiok at the City of Mexico that it has been difficult to arrivo at the exact tacts in the case. An El Paso letter to tho Galveston Neva good Democratic authority gives tho following as the true story of tho disgraceful affair: The Newa" corre3por.dent conversed with a number of persons, strangers to each other, who had just arrived irom the City of Mexico. They say that tho hall has not been told in tho Sedgvrick soandal. They are all respectable and trustworthy mm, whoso names can be given when nocessory. Th storiea they toll agreo j substinUaUy, nd one will do for a sample. The Neuw' informant was an eyewitness to part of the occurrence relate :., while ho is intimately acquainted with other respoctablo persons who witnessed other parts of it. Tho whole City of Mexico is talking alot it, ho said, and tho Amoiicans feol the rational disgrace keenly. There is no question wlmtover that the main points of the story against Sedgwiok arotrue. It is a matter of p iblio knowlodge, and tho American Consul iuui officially reported it to Secretary Bayard. "What wore the ciroamstanco as yon understood, them?" asked ti e reporter. The reply was : "I stopped at tho Iturbide Hotel, the same at wliich Mr. Sedgwick staid. Tho first I knew of m; own knowlodge was Saturday morning about 0 o'clock, whon Mr. Sedg-

wigk came in, accompanied oy some juexieau dudes, after his night of revel. It is, as I understand, a matter of common knowledge that almost as soon as Mr. Sedgwick arrived in the city he became intimc to with the Jockey Club, composed of wealthy but rather fast young men. Theso fust young men invited him to an entertainment at the club house Friday ovouing. Ho wont. As said bofore, it was 6 o'clock in the morning when he returned to the hotel, and thou he did not remain, as you will see. My lufonnants say thut in tho early part of the evening there was a great cordiality shown Mr. Sedgwiok, who repeat9dly expressed his friendship for the Mexicans and his djfiiro for peace and good-will between the two liopublica. As the evening flow on tho wine flew taster, and one party became uproarious and tho other maudlin, Mr.Sedgwick's protestations of friendship becamo more ardent. He reads Spanish, but does not speak it well, end was unable to understand what they were saying about him. "When tho Mexican! saw that he was drunk they began to gny hux. and take advantage of his Ignorance of the language. There were no ladies present. "At this time they began to drink toasts, Sedgwiok drinking with them. Of course, they made up the most vile, indecent, and obsceno toasts they could think of, applying them to Sedgwiok personally, and to the United States Government and to the American people. Sedgwiok was either tx full or too ignorant of the language to know irhat the toasts were, so they mads him drinl: to the shamo of himself and his country. Amid the roars of boisterous laughter they applied to him and his countrymen the vilest epithets, and then slapped hiin on the back approviugty when he drank them with gusto. They kep ; this up till morning. "There is part of tho publishod story tnat is not trao. They did not festoon him with flowers and put a placard on Ids back. They did put a flower in his bat ; that soon fell out. "Ah to what happen. 1 at the Iturbide Hotel : It was there that! became an eye-witness. The othor things I have related as they are commonly reported and beliewd in Mexico. You know the lturbido is built lit e a hollow square, with a large courtyard in thi center. Mr. and Mrs. D , df Chihuahua, who were stopping there, saw what happened, liedgwick and a party of Mexicans came in at 0 o'clock Saturday morning to the central coart, all very drunk and uproarions. Among tbem they began dancing in imitation of the cancan. Ijedgwiok wanted to go to bed, but the others would not lot him, They proposed to go to a nob d disreputable resort ot Americans known as tho Pour Minnies. Mr. Sedgwick appeared to understand only that it was something about women, and was off with ther.i in a moment. They went to Minnie's, and were nshored into iv room with some of the abandoned women of the house. It is alleged that while Sedgwiok wis reclining on the sofa with two of them be mddonly foil forward on the floor in a dead stupor. The Mexicans pulled his legs out straight and turnod him over on his back. Two of them then mounted his body, and flapping their arms for tvings, emitted the triumphant crow of a rooster. Turning to the girls, all of wliom were American, they said: 'See what fine represent atives your Government sends here to investigate the MexieaiiS. Here is a fair sample of your countrymen.' ,Lf tor this the nroprietors of the house took possession of his watch and money for safe keeping, and had him carried to a room aloneanct locked in. At half-past ten on Saturday morning two American gentlemen who hod hecrd of the affair went to Minnie's in a closed carriage to take him (tway. lie would not go with them. It is alleged that through the crook of tho door ho mode this reply to their entreaties : ' You go to h 1 ; I know what I am about, I can tako core of myself, and you will take ears of me, wont you, girls?' He did, it is averred, not leave Minnie's until two o'clock that day, and remained in his room at the Iturbide until Sunday. "Sunday the American Consul, Geo. Porch, accompanied by two wotl-known American citizens, asked him what ho was going to do about it Mr. Sedgwick, it is alleged, expressed contrition ; said he had only a faint recollection of what had happened, and asked to be informed of the particulars. Th y were related to hiin, and it is alleged that be begged the Consul and the other gentlemen to keep the matter qmet and not let it become public. "One of them replied; It has become publio already, and, more than that, Hear it will get into the papers up North.' "My God!' Sedgwick is alleged to have replied, 'has it oomo to that?' "Ho then begged the tbreo gentlemen to use their best endeavors to hush tho scandal up, and they promised to do so, Sedgwiok promising, it is claimed, to havo nothing more to do with tho mombors of the Jockey Club, against which ho had been warned when ho first came to the city; but that very evening he dined with some members of tho club, and they, it is said, urged him to deny the whole thing and thev would back bim in it, while money or other pressure would xaake the proprietor of tho hotel do tho Bame. "Monday morning, and this I saw mysolf," said the Nne' informant, "he was walking on tho street arm in arm with two of the same men whe had got him into trouble. That afternoon a meeting of the American residents was culled to oonaider what was bait to do. I was present at this meeting. General Wiabe, a highly honored American residunt, was tho chairman. I was obliged to leave before the end ot the meeting, but while I was there the ConsulGoneral said : 'Gentlemen, I wont to read you a telegram which I scut to-day to Secretory Bayard. I sent it on my own responsibility as Consul, but if you approve it, so much the better He then read, as nearly as I can remember, as follows : " 'Crrr op Mexico. Aug, 80. T. F. Bayard,Eecretary of State, Washington, D. C: "The special ropresmtatlve of the United States, Mr. cedgwlck, bos disgraced himself and his country, bringing shame to the face of every American in this city.

THE SOUTHERN' QUESTION. Itrong- Words by Mr. Blaine, Uttered In His Speech at Ulna, He. I spoke a few days since of the determination of tho Democrats in Congress to keep Dakota knocking at the doors of tho Union for admission, oven after she has ten times the population that certain Southern States had when they were admitted. The wrongfulness of this bUj is mado tho more marked and more intolerable when it is remembered that a material proportion of the vote by which the Democrats accomElished the inclusion of Dakota is obtained y tho disfrnnchisemenl. of e.000,000 of the Sonthoru population, thus enabling them to cast from thirty-five to forty votes in Congress to which they havo no moral title, nor legal title, nor constitutional title, nnd no title at all except lhit which is founded upon force end fraud. I know it is regarded by a largs number as useless, if not unwise, to continue tho discussion of the Southern vote. But in no feature connected with that vote ca a the end be so deplorable and destructive as that the whole nation iihorJd acquiesc in the outrage. I have on ly the voioe and influence of n private citi ten, but as loui; as I have that I

will protest against a wrong which not

merely moui oat ail the rights oi r,ne coiorea men, but absolutely gciws tb votes to

which they are entitled, and with that wrongfully acquired electoral strength controls the legislative power of the United Statcn. Cheers nnd crios of "good." If the matter involved only tho exclusion of tho colored man from the ballot, and.thus from the highest right of citizenship, it would surely bo bad enough, but ho is markod with tho possession of tho ballot and his electoral strength is turned to tho support of the party whose success is his lasting injury. A Southern gentleman with whom I havo long hold personal relations of kindness, said to me, with a candor which was m surprising as his lack of perception of tho enormity which ho was apparently hidoioing, that ill a recent eloction in Mississippi and also in South Carolina, the colored men, who are in a large majority in bo'h States, were actually well organized for Ihe election, and would havo carried it but for the great activity and vigilanco of (he white men at the last moment. I said to him, "Did these colored men intend any violence or fraud?" ''Oh! ho," says he, ""but they would havo outvoted us if thev hod the

numb.-r-!, and it took great exertion on our part to outvote them." Ho was apparently quite unconscious of the magnitude of the crirno which was involved in the deslroctioir of the electoral rights of an entire race, and yet this incident shows the extent to which this di-rognrd of natural and legal

rights has proceeded in tho boitth. The refusal to allow the colored men to vote, and the eool appropriation of their elec

toral strength by the white men, his become

tlie common custom and the common law of tho South, and will remain, so until

gome creat moral shock shall awaken those

people to the enormity of the offense. It will read very strangely in the future history of the United States, that a miuority of the white citizens of the country could neutralize and destroy the franchiso of 6,0(10,000 colored people, seize their representative and electoral strength, and control tho administration of tho National Government against a large majority o? the undoubted legal voters. And yet (hat is what is going on in the South, and what has gone on in the South ever since 1877. Acquiescence in its practice does not change its character, but only involves others in

the moral responsibility attending so grave an offt nse. it is an extraordinary fact that the wealthiest, the most educated Stales of the Union quietly acquiesce in ihe wrong of giving the white men of Mississippi and Carolina double the political power in tho country that any equal number of North- ro white jnen possess. Government, by he free suurage of the people, proceeds ui on the assumption that the voting shall be legal and fair. When it becomes corrupted, either under the domination of violence or through the influence of bribery, the whole republican system is impregnated with a

aeauiy poison, wnion, u long conuuueu, will sap its life. Applause. And yet we find many gentlemen in the Northern States jiustly' and keenly alive to the evil influence of bribery, even in the smallest and most indirect manner, settirg out to check it by the most stringent legislation, and yet constantly turning a deaf ear when it is suggested to them that the conniption of the ballot in certain Southern States is chronic and universal, working out results that utterly destroy the principle of a ma

jority government.

Ijet mo state the case in an nninmeucM way. 11 you deprive the colored people of the right 6f suffrage and exclude tliem from the basis of representation, the Republican party would have had a majority in Oongiess at any time within the last ten years, and a majority of the electoral strength of the country; or, if you secure to tho colored men perf eot freedom of snffrage and include them in the basis of representation, the Republican party would readily have

controlled Congress lor the same period. But Democratic success has been aitainod bv including them in Iho -basis of repre

sentation, and excluding them from the en

joyment of suurage, thus appr.jpnating the electoral strength of tho colored men for the sole benefit of the Democratic party. When the old Scotch covenanter was stripped of all power to change lhe current of events against which he decreed, he still had the power to give his testimony and to enter protest. For myself, I said two years ago, and I eay now, regardless of its popularity or its unpopularity, looking only to the injustice which oppresses and the wrong which outrages, that I will steadily give my testimony and enter my protect against it as a rank and odious injustice to the oolored and white citizens alike. I protest against it as utterly destructive to reputilican government. I know that I am thus protesting against consolidated power in the North, which gets the advantage, and the profit, and the gain of this unjust aggregation of political power in the hands of Southern white men. When the Southern States can say: "We are solid; we have the entire white vote of our States, and we havo seized the colored vote; we offer you a partnership; wo offer to any minority of the Northern States that will join us in the complete government of the country," tho temptation, I say, 1b very strong. It imposes upon the party that entertains a proposition for such an Eillinnce, the duty of carrying but three or four States in the North, and, when three or four States in the North find that they can cement the alliance, the temptation becomes so strong (hat poor human nature is not equal to resistance. Thus, in addition to the power of the white man of the South, they got a portion of the North committed by all the instincts of self-interest, to perpetuate the odious destruction of free suffrage. I do not assume that my voice will be potential in tho correction of it wrong Bomonstror.8, of on evil so gignnti-3,,of an injustice so flagrant; but I can, at least, be one of that great cloud of witnesses certain to arise in time, and of that great host, which in tho future will find a remedy for the wronc and redress for tha grievance.

To doubt that the riaht will, in the end,

prevail, is to despair of human justice, and

to distrust me eternal law or uou. A Rule i'imt Does Not Work Both Ways. It is announced that four Republican clerks who went np to Vermont during the campaign hare been dismissed. This follows closely on Commissioner Black's reported boast that by December 1 there will not be a Bepublican in his office except those protected by the civil-servico rules. The dismissal of the pension clerks for alleged activity in politics is not a politio move, because it draws attention to the activity of Federal officials of Democratic faith. The President's repetition of the Hayes civil-service order was issued in July, but not a Democratic officeholder has been dismissed for violating it, though the instances aro almost innumerable It is likely that when the President gets back he will have to confront some notorious cases. Most of them, though, aro in tho West, and can be ignored with safety. The Indiana Civil-St?rvico League has mode up a formidable list in that State. It ill be laid before the President, but since the Hoosier Democrats have veered around to the support of Mr. Cleveland there is Hltle fear that any official heads will fall into the basket. All the Indiana Democrats who have been renominated owe it to the wire-pulling of Federal officeholders. The Postoffice DeEartinent has on file complaints made by democrats at North Vernon, Ind., that tho Democratic postmaster had abused his official position to further a Congressional candidate's interests. The charges wero made a mouth before Mr. Vilns took his vacation, but nothing has been since heard of them. More recently charges of the same kind were filed against the postmaster at Vincennes. When a Republican postmaster is accused, the habit of the department has been to fire him out and investigate the case afterward. It is said that some civil-service reformers in Wisconiiin havo written, calling attention to the Kragg-Delaney contest there. If this doesnt violate the President's order they doci't know what does. The statement is that, besides one of the leading oandidatcs holding a Federal office, the rival factions are led by a postmaster and an internal revenue collector respectively, Washington ptci9 to Chicago Trib-

TEMPLAR AND ODDFELLOf. Vast Numbers of tbe Two Great Secret Orders Assemble in St. Louis and Boston.

Tha Western Oity Crowded by Thousands of Knights and Sight-Seeing Visitors.

DERAILED IN A CANYON.

Kniffbts Templar. There was an onormons attendance upon the triennial conclave of tbe Knights Templar in St. Louis. The grand parade was to have taken place Tuesday, September -1, but ruin caused a postponement t Thursday, The city was gorgeously decorated for Ibo occasion. "Some of tbe decorations along the line laid ont for the parade were magnificent," says a corres pondent. "Public buildings and business blocks were bright with parti-colored bunting. Flags and psnnants billowed and fluttered irom thoir fronts, and high np at' the tapering peaks of their lofty flagstaff. Masonic emblems and mottoes, fanciful figures, wrought out of bunting by the decorator's skill, and wreaths of beautiful evergreen adorned the streets. The great Court House was surrounded with garlanas of evergreen suspended from high poles, bearing the coals of aims of various States, froni each of which graceful tricolored pennants streamed to the ground. Immense pyramidal pillars of evergreen.

crowned witn Masonic emblems, stood on cither side of tho entrances to the great building, and directly over the entrances were fixed semi-circular sunbursts of bunting and evergreens." tine of the events of the conclave was the drill and concert at tbe fair grounds, which was witnessed by 75,000 people. The commanderies participating were: Detroit (Mich) No. 1; DeMolay No. 13, of Louisville; Itaper No. I, of Indianapolis; St. Bernard No. 33, of Chicago; Louisville (Ky.l No. 1; Zion No. 2, of Minneapolis and Jackson No. 7, of Jackson, Mich. The ejty was brilliantly illuminated Wednesday night. "The Flambeau Battalion ga ve n parade and exhibition on the most prominent thoroughfares of the West End. Ivanhoe Conimandery of St. Louis held a fornisl reception, which was largely attended, and proved a brilliant affair, while all the local and visiting commanderies kept open house. A notable reception was given by Oakland Commandery of California, at which thousands of callers were entertained in the most magnificent style. Among the noted commanderies which called in bodies were: St. Bernard of Chicago, '200 Knights and ladies; Apollo of Chieago, 10!) Knights; DeMolay, Louisville, 150 Knights and ladies; and the Mary Commandery of Philadelphia." The Ancient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine, one of tho highest orders of Masonry, of whose members 2,000 were in attendance upon the conclave, initiated 200 candidates at midnight of Wednesday, the close of the Arabic year. The ceremonies wero conducted by the Medina Temple of Chicago, assisted by the Imperial Potentate, Samuel Briggs, of Cleveland, Ohio. The elaborate costumes, rich jewels, mystic emblems and rites rendered the services most impressive. Previous to tho ceremonies the shriners paraded the principal down-town streets, each temple aceomr anied by a band. The costumes and uniforms were of many varieties, the ODly artich' worn in common being the red fez. The two temples which attracted the most attention and received the most generous applause were those of Baltimore and Ch cago the former apneariiiK in full evening dress, the latter in

legulnr Turkish costume, fez, crimson bag

trousers, jackets, etc. Odd -Fellows. The annual meeting of the Sovereign Grand Lodge, I. O. O. F., attracted an immense number of people to Boston. The Grand Sire, Henry D. Carey, in his report,

traced the growth of tho order since its last

meeting in Boston, twenty-two years ago, in 1804, with less than 10,000 New England members. The same territory now numbers 05,000 brethren. The order in general has shared this prosperity. In 1864, in the whole world, the number of members was 137,203: to-day there are 517,-

310 members, with an increase in the

total revenue of over $4,000,000. The order is prosperous in foreign countries. Mr. Corey advocated tho retention of the permanent location of the Grand Lodge in Baltimore. The figures of various Odd-Fellows' beneficial associations show receipts for the past year of 1,050,905; paid to the families of deceased members, $873,363; deaths, 1,752; membeis in good standimr, 4(i,14i; money on baud, $578,820.

The figures cover forty-oue bodies all that

reports nave Dcen receiveu irom. The Grand Secretary's report contained statements show ins tho con

dition of the order in tho United

States, Canada, nnd foreign jurisdictions. The prospects of both lodges and encampments for the present year are very flatter

ing. The report of the Grand Treasurer

showed a balance on nana, on August so, 1885, of 815,0751; receipts for tho year,

$49,043; expenditures, $12,420; available assets of tho Sovereign Grand Lodge, 78,096. The grand banquet given in Odd Fellows' Hall by ihe Sovereign Grand Lodge was a very enjoyable affair. Plates wero laid

for nearly hve hundred persons, xne garnering comprised the supreme officers and other high dignitaries of the Order, together with many ladies. Thi parade was one of the finest ever witnessed in Boston, fifteen thousand OddFellows and fo:ty bands were in line. A platoon of police led the way, followed by tbe Boston Cadet Band and Grand Canton Luzerne, of Lynn, one hundred men acting as an escort to Lieutenant General Underwood and his staff of patriarchs mil-: Hunt. Three divisions of patriarchs militant followed. This portion of the procession was its most marked and interesting feature, the brilliant uniforms, line matching, skillful ovolntions, and splendid appearance of the patriarchs calling forth universal commendation. Tho main body of Odd-Fellows came next in order. This part of tho procession was made up of sovem divisions. The procession passed in review before tho Grand Sire of the Giaud Lodge at Odd-Fellows' Hall, before Mayor O'Brien at the Cily Hal), Gov.'Bobiuson at the State House, and Lieut. Gov. Ames on Arlington street.

FEARFUL AUUIDEKT AT QUINCT. Two Men Killed and Several Others Terribly Injured by Fulling; Walls. IQulnoy (III.) special. A frightful accident ooeurred at the Centre Mill, which was recently burned. Workmen were engaged in taking down the walls when a seotion of Iho upper stories collapsed, burying half a dozen persons in the ruins. liodney Lambert, President of the Quincy White Lime and Cement Company, had just stopped at the mill with his father to witness tho work of razing the building. The elder Lambert saw the wall topple, and called to his son to jump, but the warninij did not collie quick enough, for It dney Lambert wai caught in tho mass and crashed to death, his father escaping with bad bruises. Four other persons, al! eolorod, were also buried in the ruins, ono of thorn being killed, and another probably fatally hurt. All of the injured were rescued in a few minutes, and scut to hospitals, and tho bodies of tho dead were removed to (hair homes. The full list of casualties is as follows: liodney Lambert, Garrett Douglass, killed; William Lynn, severely wounded on (he head and breast, will probably die; Wesley Bassett, leg broken and hurt on haa'd; Daniel Lambent, bruises and Ueh wounds; Wash.

A Passenger Train Narrowly Escapes Tumbling Down an Awful Chasm in Colorado. Denver special. The passengers who arrived this morning on tbe Salt Lake train report an almost miraculous escape from a fearful accident in the Black canyon yesterday morning. Mr. W. F. Wakeman, formerly business manager of the San Francisco AUa, who was on the train, thus describes the accident: "At about 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning our train, consisting of thirteen cars, drawn by two engines was coming through tha canyon at a rate of al!xut twenty miles per hour. I suddenly .t'elt a shock, then a series of bump J nnd jars that convinced me ttiet the train waa off the track. In Uke rear of the Pullman, in which I was, was the private car of General Superintendent Bancroft, and attached to his oar was an observation car. Here nearly ono hundred passengers, including Mr. PiUmer end his Madison Square Company, en route to Denver, were gathered, contemplating the beautiful scenery through which we were passing. The first jolt frightened everybody, and in an instant a perfect panic prevailed. Ladies fainted, others became hysterical, while men blanched with feav, but compelled the ladies to remain quiet. Each moment we expected to be dashed to pieces against the rocks, or else be thrown into the canyon below. One young man named Barnev, a commercial ttaveler, was standing on tha steps at the time the cars left the track. He became so thoroughly frightened that he jumped blindly forward. He was thrown violently against the rocks, and kept bounding between them and the cars until they were stopped. The horrible jelting continued for a distance of nearly three hundred yards. When the train stopped we carried Mr. Barney into the cars, and gave him every possible attention. Fortunately, he had sustained no serious injuries internally, and we patched up his bruises as best we could. When the train reached Pueblo he was turned over to tbe core of a physician. Those of the cars off the track were badly wrecked, and the e'spe t the train from being hurled, into the bottom of the canyon is almost marvelous. The nerve and presence of mind of the engineer were all that prevented the train from being a wreck on the rocks below, for had the train gone a few feet farther it could not have been saved."

The four weakest batters in the League and Association are alt pitchers, and yet a Jiteher stands as high as eighth in the league, while a tw rler actually leads the Association, and another is but three pegs below him.

Big Brouthers always lays his gloves in a certain spot while he goes into the bench or to the bat, and ho allows no one to interfere with them. Wizabd Shaw has a peculiar superstition that if he steps in the box from any direction but the rear it will hoodoo him; consequently, no matter if he be standing directly in front of the box when the ball is returned to bim., he religiously walks around the box to the right and goes in the back door. No power on earth could induce him to enter the box from the Bides or front. SENT OCT OF THE WORLD. Bowman Faxton, the Murderer of HeOatlvery, HD;ed by m Mob. .Cairo (III ) special.

McGnitroty, a bkeksmith and a neighbor, which resulted in the death ot the latter, the murderer only avoiding the vengeance ol!

Xiast Sunday night the Sheriff of Dunklin County with a posse lef". Kennotu with the prisoner en route to Maiden, where bis trial was to take place. About five miles from Maiden the officers were met by a masked party of over one hundred men, who demanded tho prisoner, at the same time indulging in threats which indicated their determination. The man was given up, and a few miles further on was strung np to the limb of a tree and left there. Two hours later the corpse was out down and buried at. Maiden. Paxton was a man of-cnnsiderable wealth, and stood high in tl " .amunity. He had employed tne Iks. vers in his section, who had arrived & jlaMori.
