A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Conductor Morris, of the I. and St. L. U. R. Instantly KUled-Othera Injured. The Train Thrown From tbe Track by a Misplaced Rail, tbe Work of Demons in Human Form. About 1 o'clock Thursday morning a terrible accident occurred on the Indianapolis and St. Louis Road, in which Conductor George Morris, of this city, was instantly killed. The train U known as the New York Express, and leaves St. Louis early in the evening, arriving in this city about 4 o'clock on the following morning. Immediately after the accident occurred a telegram was sent to his friends and relatives in this city giving particulars of the catastrophe. The following special to the 3eutinel gives the facts as they occurred: DETAILS OF THE ACCIDENT. Terrs IIacte, Ind., Sept. 9. The I. and St. L. passenger train No. 5, due here at 1:38 a. tn., was thrown from the track by a misplaced rail early this morning, three-quarters of a mlie west of St. Marys. Conductor George Morris was instantly killed, and au old lady, who has since gone East, and whose name is unknown, wai injured about the head. How the other passengers escaped in the manner they did seems miraculous. The train wrecked is very fast, and was east-bound. At Mattoon a telegram was received from the conductor of the west-bound freight No. 10, giving warning of an attempt to throw the train from tho track with boards placed across the same. A switch train goes out every night to assist No. 10 up the steep grade. At Sandford it encountered Borne boards on the track, which had ten taken up from the crossing west of St. Mary's. The engine brushed the obstruction but it was considered significant, and the fact was telegraphed the east-bound passenger train. Wo. White, engineer, was, therefore, looking out for something when he came down the grade between Sandford and St. Marys, but no boards were encountered. The wretches had planned much more skillful ambush and in a different place. The point selected is a trestle over a narrow gulch some thirty feet deep and fifty wide, where the third rail, west of the trestle on the south side of the track, was taken up and moved in about two inches. When Engineer White noticed the change in the track he was too close to stop, but with perfect presence of mind pulled opened the trottle to the last notch and made the engine jump at a furious speed, and in this manner the engine, baggage car and two coaches cleared the hollow. The Horton chair car and sleeper were left balanced on the stringers of the trestle. The engine ran up the track about a hundred feet and stopped without upsetting. Morris was seatt d in the smoking car on the coal box. A passenger asked him how far it was to Terre Haute? He replied to the question, and stooped to open the stove door, when the car gave a violent lurch forward, overturned, and, heading against the bank, was burst in at tbe end, and Morris was terribly injured about the bead and bruised in other parts of the body. He died la a few minutes. The fireman was not hart The engineer escaped with paintul cuts on the hands. There were seventy-five passengers on board. The Company are in possession of facta which may lead to the capture of the villains who were the cause of the accident THE REMAINS. Undertaker Kregeloleft this city on the 8 a, m. train for the scene of the disaster, and took charge of the remains. lie had the body embalmed, by order of the Railroad Company, and returned on the 5:43 p. m. train yesterday. The remains, after being properly dressed, were sent to the Morris residence, No. lbl rendieton avenue, ine funeral is announced to take place tomorrow at 2 o'clock. A number of employes of the Company are expected from the west end of the road to be present at the funeral. The following persons were on the train with Morris at the time of the accident: Tiillv Whitp. pnennpprr Dan Watson, fire man; James Smith, baggage-master; Terry Coon. Brakeman, and Ad lleermans, Anierhighly respected and loved by all his comrades and friends. He leaves a wife and four children three girls, the oldest of whom is about sixteen years of age, and one boy. There seems to be a difference of opina- iL. r -r i ion as io uie position oi iur. .uorns ax me time of the crash. Mr. W. R. Caulkins, of Rochester, N. Y., who was a passenger on the ill-fated train and an eye-witness, thinks that Morris was sitting on the front seat in the smoking car, near the stove, and that he had the iron poker in his hand, and was in the act of opening the stove door when the crash came. Mrs. S. W. Rogers, of St. Louis, is the name of the lady injured. She is quartered at the New-Denison, and was resting easy last night. EVANSYILLE DEPARTMENT. By the resignation of a councilman in the first ward a special election was ordered. The ward ia Republican by about 90, and though the Democrats made extraordinary efforts, the ward was carried by the Republicans by a majority of 148. In the procession the Democrats show up to good advantage, but somehow they don't materialize worth a cent at the polls. The Democrats ought to have some unity of action. In your city they are flattered by having a colored man address them, in this city they are fighting on tbe color -line wholly, and exultantly say they want no Negro votes, and your Secretary of State, Shanklin advises the white man's party to drive tho Negro from the city either by a writ of ejectment or a club. Yet we remember that two years ago Mr. J. (Iii. Shanklin. at a dem ocratic demonstration at tho Turner Hall was seen drunk and with one arm affectionately clasping a black brother's neck stealing his soul with many vows of faith." A magnificent ovation was tendered Sen ator Logan, Thursday night It was fitting, for Logan is a good man. In battle, in the forum, or the stump his place is a foremost 'ni J i i! . r one. a lie ueuiunttratiua was electrical it was inspiring and sincero. The streets packed. Evan's 11 all was packed with an orderly surging mass of ladies and gentlemen." Not a loot oi room was vacant. .Logan was greeted with a long and enthusiastic cheer. It was a regulur 'Chicago yell." He had his audience with bim at the "go, ' and Eng lih had better "foreclose a mortgage' on this orator for he is doing English damage. The Senator was inspired and though be has always borne the reputation of a logical orator several of his bursts of eloquence carried his audience to the highest pitch of .1 Si. . eninuemsm. r or instance reaa nis contrast between the two parties: "The glacier encraves us -recora on toe - mountain siaes. The river establishes its memorials in its progress to the sea. The ocean inscribes the I history of its convulsions In the crag upon

its shore. Every thing in material nature is its own biographer. The Democratic party is no exception to thu rule. It has written its own shameful history in the blood of 300,000 of its loyal countrymen. It has left its mark in the Congressional record, all through the war and in every movement f or the betterment of the people, 'tis a democratic "nay" against a republican ''aye," This the written, not the unwritten history of tbe party." BEPCBLICAyigM.

But what of the Republican Dartv? It record is also made. It i3 for all time, the iron schacklesoftheslave, piled mountainhigh are evidonce of the Republican party attachment to the liberty of man. The fational flag floating triumphantly upon all the land and on every sea proves national authority has been maitained. Ihe Ireasury notes at par and national bonds at a premium in all market show financial credit under Republican administration. Add to this a condition of prosperity among all the people such as was never known before, and we nave a compre hensive summary of the achievements of the Repub ican pirty." Now isn't this grand? Tne applause at the striking pa-sasros was almost deafening add EvanWille. SCHO LS. Our schools opened their doors to the weary-of. play pupils, and the purse broken pedagogue. Mr. Watkins has the Colored liign öchool, 3Ir. Horn, the 8 year grade at the St. John Sch !. At Governor Street,are Mr. Anderson, Miss Goodrich, Miss Glenn, Miss K'mbro and Mrs. Watkins. ' At Inde pendent School are Mr. and Mrs. Beecher; at CI Air Street, are tbe Misses W ilson and Moulton. The attendance is encouraging in all the grade?. Except the higher ones. There is an alarming falling off in the attendanco of the larger sized pupils in the higher grades. The blind prejudice of Southern Indiana will not permit a colored pupil to attend, the general High School. So the clred pupils are coraled in a se per ate building. In this school there are five pupil-', and what is more sträng, there are Ave dint-rent grades. Jlr. YYatkir.s ability as an instructor is flrtt clas but his eliorts are feciningly p aralyzed by the great number vi tirades. Almost a similar state f affairs exi4 in Mr Horn's room. He 1 a about twenty-six pupils with four . gradi s, the t ao of them preparing for tbe High School. it 14 almost impossible with th s rettt number of grades to bring every pupu up to the required standard. 1 be conqu ncd is that rurl s, who fail, invanab y drop out of school ut thu mosr. important period of their school-day. We learn that Mr. lie jcI e -also ha-! iourgradca. Ihe colored eacher with four grtdes is expected to do equally as good work as the white teacher with one. Iho colored boy is expected to do a good work as the white buy through tho colored teacher by lack of time is prerentcd giving as comprehensive and thorough instruction. In consequence the 'bright" pupils are promoted and the "dull'' ones, bv failing to receive lull instuctions, fail. Then he leaves school. The "White man's club" ovated Sigel Wed nesday night, all the hoodlums in the city are found therein. It is well that they carry no torches for if tho honest and respectable Democrats could only see what it is that is doing the yelling, and parading they would quite the party in disgust. They take much pndu in yelling that this it a white man's part-. We are confident that their hearts are black with prejudice, misrule and hatred for .the institutions of this country. Fred Douglass, the foremost black man in this Nation will speak here Saturday night. NOTES II EHE AND TIIERE, The ladies of the A. M. E. Church ten dered Rev. M. Lewis a farewell reception Monday night.- He was presented many fine presents. Nearly every member of the congregation was present. xever did a minister aepari leaving so many irienaa Dehind. The colored troops showed up to good ad vantage Tuesday night. It makes the Dem's howl to see so many true voters in line. They have prayed, begged and tried to bribe into their fold but the colored man knows a wolf when he sees it. Messrs. A. C. Horn. P. Cooper. W. N. Curry, W. H. Beecher, D. Rouse and C. liurrus, will be in attendance at the G. U. O. of Ü. F. session. Treat thev bovs kindly for they are orphans. MissEfSd L. Stacher. teaches one of our suburban schools this year. The B iptist Church will make a erand affair of the 22nd. Thft fJrnnfl Tj.vIo'a nf Mmnni pnnvpnA in this city Tue-day.

B." ia Sew York Pott.l One source of discouragement to a young housekeeper is tbe fact that, after she has done the best she knows how, her housekeeping reminds her of the action of a scale; when the front steps, parlor and sitting room are up, tne back steps, kitchen and pantry are down. . It may be a comfort to her to know that in the best regulated families, where one woinan does all the work, this sometimes occurs, but experience helps to remedy the matter somewhat. Beginning after breakfast, let the table be cleared, the food all put away, and the dishes placed in an orderly way on the kitcheu table. The tank should be filled with the water, and the fire all right to keep the water hot, while she goes to the front part of the house and does the neccssiry work there, not neglecting anything which in the event of a visitor will cause her annoyanc-e. Get nil the work as even as possible narrowed down to the kitchen. This plan should be pursued regularly; the day on which it is departed from will be one ot defeat and humiliation, one is certain to have one or more neighbors who have plenty of help and who enjoy running into chat with her in the morning. If it can not be avoidedkshe can wash the breakfast dishes and attend to the lamps while cooking the dinner. It must not be understood that by pushing all the work back into the kitchen this room is to be neglected. Above all things keep tho kitchen clean in a great measure the health of the family depends upon this, A pleasant kitchen, convenient and Inviting, is an inspiration to thorough work; better meals will be prepared there, and all that it costa to make this workshop what it should be will be amply pid for by the increased comfort aflorded the faithful housewife, and through her to each member of the family. In the present state of the world it is practically imposjible that writings which are read by tie instructed can be kept from thä uninstructed. If the teachers of mankind are to bo cognizant of all that they ought to know, everything must bo free to be written and published without restraint. Mill.

Scarcely less astonishing than Dr. Tan ner's recent feat of fasting is the condition of a young lady, the daughter, of the Mayor of Grambke, a village near ffremen, who is ?aid to have been fast asleep ever since the second week in January, with the exception of a few hours of eemi-wakefulness at intervals of from six to eight weeks. An interesting account of her extraordinary 6tate is published in the Hanover Courier. It appears that ßb e lies plunged in a profound slumber and entirely unconscious of all that goes on around her, night and day, reclining on her left side, warmly covered up and with a light gauze spread over her head. Nourishment, chiefly in a liquid form, is daily administered to her, which she swallows witLaut awaking for a second. She is a pretty, slender girl, of a pallid complexion, but she does not lose in weight during her trances of from forty to sixty days, and when awakes, exhibits a cheerful disposition and an eager desire to perform such small household tasks as her strength enables her to fulfill. Her father is a well-to-do man, who has consulted several eminent medical men, in the hope of discovering some remedy for his daughter's abnormal condition, which entails serious inconvenience and constant anxiety upon the other members of his family; but all efforts hitherto made to keep the unlucky girl awake have resulted in total failure. 'Since the case of the sleeping Uhlan at Potsdam, no euch interesting, subject for study and observation QD the part of the medical faculty has arisen as that of the strangely som. nolent Burgomaster's daughter of Grambke,
