"Address INDIANAPOLIS SENTINEL CO.. Indianapolis, Ino WEDNESDAY, JUNE 28. It is said the Senate Is coming to its sense?, and an agreement upon the appropriation bills is still possible before the end of the fiscal year. In accord wita tne fitness of thing?, tbe majority in tbe House of Representatives having become favorable to repeal of the resumption bill, the Hon. Milton Sayler has been elected speaker pro tern., who truly represents the sentiments of tbe party on that subject. It has been lound necessary to elect three speakers of the House during the present session. Hon. Milton Sayler of Cincinnati is the last. He was elected Sat urday on account of the absence of Mr. Cox. Judge Holman of this state narrowly eecepad the honor. Governor Haves, in bis Fremont (Ohio) speech, skirmished all around the presidential question, and finally got near enough to it to speak of bis return i to his neighbors after tbe expiration of his term at tbe White House. Those friendly neighbors need not fear that he will be compelled to leave them at alL The Journal of this city keeps up Its coTert attacks upon the administration that caused the deieat of its candidate. It comments upon tbe fact that there have been rtwentv-five changes in Grant's cabinet ince the 4th of March, 1SC9, and thus attracts public attention to one ol the most disreputable features In his administration of the government. TbeiPlea theRepabliean Party. tin again seeking tbe suffrages of tbe American people the Republican party makes tbe special flea of reiorm. It is a confession of rottenness with a promise of purgation. For eight years tbe most alarming corruptions In state have prevailed under the fostering hand of the jRepublican ptrty. As a pledge of the reform proposed they have nominated a new .man who has not been convicted of using public positions and lnflaence to .aid la private speculations and gain. But he Lsian untried man, as was Grant, Belkknap aai others whom tbe party placed in power. He may prove a good man dor tbe 'Country, but the promise and .prospsct tis no better, not so good, as tbe reputation Grant bad achieved a a oldier was something warii preserving. Hat! be retrained at Iba bead of the army 11 parties would have united, la ascribing honor to bis .name, and if be bad proven An -acceptable president his iecne as a general cvould have beenherl&hed by tbe whole country. But bfe prestige as a soldier sank with his failure as a.otatesman, od there is .none now o poor as to do him reverence. Under bto8dmkolstratlon the necessity lot .reform baa culminated. Pillage In tbe departments, cooudrelism in tbe outposts nark the adzuinittratlon, and as tbe party -enters the list asking further continuance of power, they come before the country with the hnmiUating confession that there is need of reform, and they promise it ander Haje. Sbculd the American people trust taese promises? Is there any security that promises will be fulfilled? It is impossible that Mr. Hayes can separate bim self from his paity. Tbe SeLate to-day that risks tte storpsge ol tbe machinery of government rather than respond to tbe reform in expenditures proposed by tbe Hocsa would as effaotuaJly check-mate any reform that he should attempt as they did every effort of Andrew Johnson to administer the government upon correct and cocstitutlocal principles. Morton, Cockling, Blaine and Butler will still dttermlne who shall fill the places of public trust, and profit by tbe spoils. They rush eagerly to the front and tender their support, and Mr.

Hajes responds to their proffered aid with grateful emotions. Is there any reform la all of this? None whatever. The confession implied la premises of doing better should not be considered otherwise than an evidence of guilt that demands an expulsion from places of public trust by the American people. Infinitely better will it be for our country il a change is mde that will separate at once a new administration from all obligation to the ol J. In only this way can reform come. Men who control the administration will not suffer their friends to he d'smissed. They will sustain them, and the government will continue with another head, but in the old habits of fraud and corruption by which the nation is now oppressed. Tbero is convention now assembled at St. Louis that can give a pledge to tbe country of reform. It will offer to tbo country, If it does its duty to the party that called it together, a candidate for tbe presidential chair who will be lree from the toils and rings that have already-rur-

rounded Governor Hayes. The Demo cratic party has no yast delinquencies to confess. Our leader would go into the White Hojse uutraeumeled, and would be free to place ooly honest men In places of trust. Tbe occupation of the ring masters of tbe capital would be gene. Tbe postoffice Ting, the Indian ring, the subsidy rings, tbe financial ring, the real estate ring, and all other organized pillaging hands Whose existence must come to an ond with tbe defeat of the Tlapublican rartv. would be beard of no more. This is the only hope ol reform to the American covernment. The contest and canvass of tbe issue will soon commence, and the p90 pie must decide for themselves where tbe best promise lies, in th9 repenting party or the party that needs no repentance. St. Lonit' New Park. The oreninz of a new public park as a relief from tbe dust and dirt, smoke and heat, and general metropolitan monotony and brick and mortar dreariness of a large city, is a matter for notieo and congratula tion, not only in the place Immediately In terested, but in all places similarly situ ated. The journals in every city in the land can well afford, even in this season ol political strife and party agitation, to suspend the discussion of the prospects of tbe various candidates long enough to say a few words in praise of the enterprise which ba3 established a green oasis of nearly fourteen hundred acres in extent within easy access of the hot, narrow, stifling, crooked streets of that breathing hole of the infernal regions popularly known as the city of St. Louis. Such no tice is not merely a puff of a rival city. It is an encouragement of a spirit which is too sluggish everywhere, and whose ab sence in our own city makes it necessary for the tired and overworked cltlzan who is famishing for a breath of pure air and a glimpse of green fields, with tbe cor responding exclusion of city sights, sounds and, smells, to expatriate himself for the time being and seek the gratification of his desires in t je dis ant country, at such and expenditure oi time and trouble as makes tbe pleasure of rare occurrence. A little plot of ground covering one or two squares, whose most remote spot Is within a stone's throw of some dusty Btreet, and whose limited area is sodded, graveled and laid out with the conventional precision of a city lawn, is in no sense a public park. To deserve this name a tract should be large enough to permit complete seclusion from all tbe aspects of city lite which sometimes become such an offense to the wearied senses, to present some little diversity of rural scenery, and to b&füt the fiendish Ingenuity of the ubiquli tus J v?ho landscape' gardener run mad, ceaslessly labors to transform beaatlfal variety ol nature into 1 1 thA the stiff, conventional uniformity of socalled art. Such a roomy and diversified area of ground is Forest Park of St. Louis, opaned to the public last ' Saturday with appropriate ceremonies and much enthusiasm on the part of tba nativo citizens and assembled guests of that city, many of whom allowed tbe political pot to boll unmolested for one afternoon, while they as sisted at the dedication to public use of this new Addition to the attractions of St. Louis. Tbe park comprises 1,372 acres, lying within easy access of tbe city, and includes within its limits meadow od open woodland, primeval forest, lakes, valleys and bills. Though it is little more than a year since the ground first came into tbe possession of the park board, tbe work of Improvement has gone on rapidly and It is already claimed by enthusiastic St. Louiaans that they are the most magnificent pleasure grounds in tbe country. Much of this boast mast probably be taken as prospective. Some details of the process fcy which tbe ground was set aside for this purpose will be of Interest to other cities which may have to contemplate a similar investment. In 1872 a bill passed tbe Legislature providing for the setting aside ol certain lands Icr this paik. Some of its provisions were resitted by property holders and two year of litigation ended in a decision adverse to tbe state. Acother bill for the same purpose, passed Id 1874, successfully ran tbe gauntlet ot tbe courts, and in the course of the following ummer the grounds came into the bands o the board of park commissioners, who have since been engaged in tbe work of surveying and Improving them. Among the topographical engineers who have been engaged upon the work is Henry Fiad, w ho worked in conjunction with Captain fads upon tbe great St. Louis bridge. An interesting part of the dedicatory cerenu'tnles was the unveiling of a bronze statue of the late Edward Bates of Missouri, which will occupy a prominent place in the grounds.

A Stw Departure In Fonrtti f July

Celebrations. There is a general understanding that the centennial Fourth of July is to be cele brated with more than usual pomp, dis play and enthusiasm. Patriotism Is to be worked up to the high est pressure that the people can bear. This is maaltestiy proper. The Four'.h of July, like Washington and his -compatriots, has been almost forgotten. To revive the memory of taeir deeds and sacrifices, and bring the great national holiday into deserved prominence and place it in advance of all other holidays reflects credit upon tboee who advocate tbe good work. There is then, so far aa we era informed, no conflict of opinion about tbe propriety of tbe celebration, but in regard to the modus operandi a new departure "4 advocated in some quarters, and the suggestions are worthy of consideration. In aome localities Treis male an Important feature in the programme such as torchlight processions and goneral Illuminations. In addition to these, fireworks pyrotechnic displays of all descriptions are to be aid Now, since the people of tbe United States are not fire-worshippers, the question arises, Will it not be prudent to dispense with this superabundance of fire, and supply its place with something quite as elevating and soul-stirring and vastly less dangerous and annoying? As an argument in lavor of ignoring fire and fireworks almost entirely or altogether, it is claimed by those who 'profess to know and tbe facti in the case are accessible that this celebrating fire has led directly to tbe sacrifice of life and tbe destruction of property of great value. In this connection we see it stated that the city ot Portland, Maine, a lew years ago, came near being laid in ashes by the explosion of a firecracker at a Fourth of July celebration. The subject is regarded of so much importance tbat it has attracted tbe sttention of Congress. Quite recently, Mr. Chittenden, member of the House, opposed "an appropriation by the federal treasury for fireworks in the District of Columbia, showing tbe heavy losses which were entailed upon tbe country by their indiscriminate use. Within a few years past he asserted the losses from fire amounted to the enormous aggregate of 700,000,000. and ot these conflagrations fireworks were largely the cause. It Mr. Chittenden's estimate is correct, or even approximately correct, the conclusion is inevitable thai fireworks are altogether too dangerous and expensive to be indulged in on the Fourth ot July, or acy other day. This la the view of tbe case taken by the New York Commercial Bulletin, which favors a resolution in Congress, "prohibiting tbe importation of firecrackers altogether, while placing other descriptions of pyrotechnics under the same stringent rules and regulations which apply to nitroglycerine, gun cotton, giant powder and other dangerous explosives. It would be tili better if we could abolish them in toto, but it that can not be accomplished, let us at least compel their use in such a manner as will no longer make these recurring celebrations occasions of positive apprehension and terror." We doubt if patriotism would die out In this country, provided fire works should be forever discontinued and firecrackers disappear from the earth, and since they are known to be dangerous, would it not be well for those who are charged with the centennial calebration of tbe glorious Fourih to provide a substitute? Tbe fact that the country is crippled by "hard times" and groaning under burdens of taxation, the thousands of dollars that are likely to be worse than thrown away on fireworks suggests that tbe money expended on fireworks might be put where It would do more good. The Rod In Public Schools. Tbe board of education for four years has had a rale in operation prohibiting corporal punishment In tbe public schools; but the rewinding of this rule is low urged, as tbe principal almost u Dan lrnously say that the effect ot the present system has been bad. The punishments now permitted are kping the otleuder in a t-r school or at coon, the wltholdlDgof good mirks, and, when all el-e fall, ezpuUlon. Many tescbera dislike to expel oäeüders on aacount of tbe bad en et upon the boy, thus left in Ignorance, or the fear tout tbeir action may be reversed, ihn weakening tbelr influence In their cU-pes. A plan now being agitated for a reform of ti e existing rule provides that each parent or guardian, when placing a child In a common bcbool, ball be akt-d beth-r he Is willing twantnurlze the corporal punishment of tbe chi d, In tbe Judgment of the principal of tbe school, in rate auch puuitbment be neot-axary. It an affirmativ answer 1" glveu, tbe authorization shall be rt glterea lna book and signed by the parent or guardian. If It la refi st-d. entry of that fact hall a'ao be made, and It will b" expected that tbe child tball be, by bome influence, kept under proper ooatiot. Under no circumstance will texchera themselves bd permitted to wield tbe rod. They must simply teport to the prluclpnl, whose duty It wl l be to Judge the value of their comp aluts. New York Tribute. With all of our hoisted advancement, there are still to be lound in every community those who advocate flogging school children, boys and girls, as a means of helping them along in tne'r efforts to obtain aa education. Tbe grave offenses, for which these children' of tender years are subjected to-a punishment, which in Delaware is inflicted upon sneak-thieves, and abandoned creatures of tbe lowest human type, are variou. Sometimes a child leaves its seat, cr 'augbs, or whUpsrs, or plavs truant, or disobeys, orders, or violates in some other way the rales of tbe school, Tor which offense, under the old, and In many places under the . present regime, the penalty of stripes is adjudged. There are various educational instruments of torture, such as tbe strap, the fernle and tte rod, the rawhide, and possibly others have been iu vented. Occasionally a child is whipped so severely that it dien. Often they have been maimed for life, snd still tbe beating is continued in the schools. It is admitted that horses and males and asses and dogs, of the most vicious tendencies, can be tamed and trained belter without the lash; that kindness is

potential throughout tbe entire domain of animated nature except in tbe school room, and here tbe torture ot tbelasbis Inflicted only upon those 'of tender years. The little blue-eyed, chubby, mischievous boy or girl whose nature bubbles p and

over with life, love and gentleness, who looks into all eyes for sympathy, and who are susceptible of being moulded and fashioned by kind wards are the ofiendcra upon whose backs and limbs the rod and strap and ferule fall with merciless fcrce, and this forsooth, that order may bo maintained and an autocrat enthroned. A thousand vicious horses that had been beat and thumped by cruel and ignorant owners and keepers until tbe appearance of human being made them almost turlout with rage, were subdued by Earey without trouble. Kindness and gentleness overcame tbe brute's passions, and made tbe animals uselul instead of dan gerous. But teachers (?) who have to deal with the tender buds of humanity, who are employed, or ought to be, for the pur pose of developing the sweetest tempers and noblest traits of characters, find it necessary to deal with them upon tbeprin ciple that pain, caused by corporal puuist ment, is tbe great help to education that little boys and girls can be whipped into goodness and willing obedience. Tbey forget that the lash implants the s9edsof bate, that school houses are looked upon as prisons, and that a slashing teacher, in tbe eyes of tbe little folks, is an object to be feared and not loved or venerated. It is safe to say that a teacher who can not control his cr her school without tbe aid of an instrument of torture bas much to learn, and humanity ought to demand that they learn it before little chil dren are committed to th1r custody. Bristow's Lost opportunity. Mr. Bristow bas left the place in the cabnet, in which he has drawn to himself so much of the public attention for the last two years, and returned to his heme in Ken tucky, and it is scarcely an.exaggeration to say that bis came is heard no - more among men. From tbe moment that bis presidential aspirations came to naught in tbe nomination ot Governor Hayes he bas dropped completely out of sight. Dis resignation was looked for, and took place with scarcely a consequent ripple on the sur.ace of public opinion, and he has returned to tbe West, seemingly to lead a life of inconspicuous retirement, untroubled by any calls to public position. This seems a strange and premature termination to a career that commenced so auspiciously as that of Mr. Bristow In the administration ot President Grant; but it is one strictly in harmony with tbe stern logic ot political cause and effect. Mr. Bristow has lost his hold upon the good will of the people and sacrificed tbe prestige given bim by his successful prosecution of the whisky ring, by an Inability to rise to tbe full dignity of tbe situation in which be was placed and to grasp tbe opportunity offered bim to place himself at tbe bead of a popular movement. All honor 6hould be given Mr. Bristow for tbe vigor and energy with which he executed needed re lor ins in his department. He did no more than hh duty, but it is rare for a Radical official to come within gun shot of doing so much as tb at. By his exceptional conduct In this respect he made himself the most conspicuous figure in the government, and excited hopes that be possessed characteristics that would enable him to make the work of reform reach further than to mere matters of routine, and the prevention of common, open stealing. A large party in the country looked to him as the possible representative and leader in a work of real reform; as one who would not hesitate to prosecute the work of purification even at tbe expense of party; who would boldly use tbe influence given him by a series of fortunate circumstances to disrupt a political organization that bad become hopelessly given over to corrupt practices and lead tbe better elements ot it to fresh and purer political afhliations. This expectation Mr. Bristow bas wholly disappointed, and in consequence has lest all tbe prominence given bim as the quasi-representative of the retorm movement. He bas been wilfully blind to the opportunity offered him to make of himself a great popular leader, and in consequence the country bas re j9cted his leadership and he bas relegated himself to tbe obscurity of private life. Several times has the opportunity been presented to tbe ex-secretary to break loose from party lines and place himself at th head of a great reform movement. Especially might be have done this with success when, in the full tide of the whisky prosecutions, tbe administration interfered to thwart his efforts by tbe removal of General Henderson as counsel for the government at St. Louis. There were several later occasions when Bristow and "bis reform scherres were systematically thwarted and checked by tbe administration. If upon any of these be bad broken loose from his party and the government that bamp9red bim la bis work of reform, he might have become the leader of a movemet t for general and complete reform that would have swept the country. But be bas missed his opportunity. His presidential ambition and desire to turn his reform achievements to h's personal gain have made bim timid. He bas clung to a corrupt and faUirg party until be bas lost tbe popular confidence, and with it his only fctrengtb, and has in cocse quecce of this lots been driven from the position be sacrificed his self reepect to retain. With all its respect for Mr. Bristow's achievements tbe coun try plainly sees where be has fallen ebortof tbe capabilities of his situation, and bis departure from public life will be looked upon as the merited fall of a would-be pc-

llttcal reformer whose personal ambition

outran his zsal for the purification of the government. AN INDEPENDENT ORGAN ON MICE AND LIONS. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YOttK TRIBUNE ADDRESSED 1HROCOH THE BKNTINEL. To the Editor of the New York Tribune. Sir I have waited somewhat impatiently to see your comments on the platform and candidates of tbe Cincinnati Convention and I confess to a feeling of disappointment after psruslng what you have to say about them, for if tbe tone of your article Is any index to their quality, I judge them to be as strongly partisan as any fair minded Republican could desire. With the exception of iDgersoll's eulogy on Blaine, have not seen anything more laudatory of candidates than your article on Hayes entitled. "Mice and Lious." Of course you, iu the conduct of an indcpaident journal, have a right to say what you like about any candidate, but, sir, when you undertake to pull others down to build up your favorites you engage in tbe most partisan warfcie that can be waged. Could you not sing tb praises of Hayes without misrepresenting Hendricks? I have ncthing against Hayes, and hope that he my prove all that you claim tor him; but, sir, whei you say that 4 in tpeecb and intellectuality Rutherford B. Hayes is Decidedly a stronger man than Mr. Hendricks" you uttcr what is not true, and what no man who is acquainted with both will tor one moment claim unless biased by partisan views, as you seem to be. I have known Governor or "Mr. Hendricks," as you put it, for years. 1 have 89en him in private life, in tbe forum, on the stump, IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE, and as governor of Indiana, and with these opportunities to know him and contra -t bim with others whom you will admit to bs great, I say that be is "in speech and intellectually" tLe peer of any candidate tor president of the United States. I am not a partisan admirer ol Gov. Hendricks, hut I respect him for bis ability and can never forget his manly cource four years ago when Gov. Morton, from every stump iu Indiana, was denouncing Horace Greeley as tbe spieglet and bondsman ot traitors, and heaping on him every damnable epithet that would tend to make him appear vile and loathsome, Gov. Hendricks stood forth as the champ on and delender ot a man wbo had been a 11 :eiong ioe to tbe 'Democratic party and for doing this some members of that party questioned the governor's loyalty. Honor to whom honor is due. Rutherford B. Hayes is undoubtedly a good man he may be great.but when did he ever do anything to distinguish himselt? They say he is a true Republican without spot or blemish. That is he has NEVER FALTEREI) IN HIS ALLEGIANCE TO PARTT. He has swallowed every dose prepared for h.m without wincing of making a wry face. This speaks well for partisan loyalty, Dut how much It tells for head and hart I leave for you to judge who fcr tte manifold Bins of that party abandoned it for coEScience' cake. Where would Governor Hayes have been at tbe last election In Ohio without tbe aid of Carl Schurz and his liberal following. You claimed then that the election of Governor Hayes was a declaration of tbe people ot Ohio in favor of honest money. You now say tbat it meant that Rutherford B. Hayes was in speech and intellectually decidedly a a rouger man than Mr. Hendricks. In tbe Cincinnati platform or 1876 you find a great deal to admire, notwithstanding its twaddle about equal rights, woman's rights, etc. What word do you find in it denunciatory of the action ot the government in regard to matters in Louisiana? Where is there a woid of condemnation for any act of (he present administration, and what assurance have we tbat these same acts will not be rel eated whenever partisan gruel or necessity deinandb? Are not these tie things tbtylook back with pride upon? With Morton, Blaine and Conking in tbe cabinet, with SIMON CAMERON AS G0DF-ATHER, what a moral retorm society tbe government would be. Now, sir, as to finance, what assurance has the Cincinnati C .invention given to tbe country that if its candidates are elected itwill resume specie payment in 1879? The convention voted down a report that required Congress by proper legislation to provide for such rfsumpt on. Even Governor Morgan's proposition to tbat effect fell still-born upon the convention, and tbe Inter-Ocean of to-day truthfully remarks that "the action of tbe convention amounts substantially to a request tor a repeal of the resumption act." And et it meets yoer hearty approval. I don't know as St. Louis will produce anything more palatable to the independent or liberal voter than Cincinnati did, but I for one proDose to wait and see and then choose. Now, Mr. Editor, inconclusimjet me say, if you have found independent journalism a failure, or if circumstances oyer which you have no control compel you to the course you are pursuing, all right, bot remember tbat one at least, wbo has sympathised with you in your noble efforts to maintain a Ciuse tbat martyrs' blood bas made holy, can not nor will not be induced by your partisan efforts under tbe name and in tbe habit of independent journalism to vote any particular ticket. Go, if you mus but In tbe name ot right and tor the sake of decencv, put on your true colors and don't under ake by false pretenses to take others with you. Joseph A. Wood hull. Angolia, Ind , June 23, 1876. WHO IS HAYES? AN INEFFECTUAL EFFORT TO SETTLE A VEX El; QUESTION. Yesterday tbe presidential campaign began in Douglass alley by two cullerad females. One askc 1 the other: "Qab you hearn, Sal, dat Gojuor QyAs Is de ' next Democratic president?" "Why lor me," eavs Sal, "Mister Hayts de next Democrat president! Ain't you ah sorter mistaken Cyntbiann at that?" "Why no Sal, Ise gwlne to do bis washin', been gone and engaged ciyselt already." "Wby, Cynthiann, who's done an' gone hired you already? Wby. Mr. Haytsiaabad Republican." "No be ain't; be lid fa' her of Billy Hayes at Selklng's, wbar I'se been washings dese many days, soIbab,au'be ln'druced me to bis papa, and he done hired me, and I am gwine git ready, an fuddermore dat fool ob husband o mite bas got to vote de Democra ic ticket in de next elecsbun." "Why Cynthiaona, dat Mr. Hayes is from Richmond, Veginny.an he owes me a wash bill dat darned ole cuss,

when I left dar, and ax him for da bill, hesays, 'seme of detediysl'se gwine to be depresident, and den I'e gwlne to make soap gteeceouten you. You go to dat rascal! Wby, Cynthiann, yen ought to be cowbided," replied Sal. "Now, looke var, Sal, Mr. Hayes Is from Mattcon, Illinois, on de Yandalia road, kase he told me so, and so you must li. Mr, Hayes and Billy are bofe eexmcnu. althonsrh Rillv

owes tie CO cents, and 'rupt in de bank." By this time Cynthiann called out her busband, Madkier, and told him what she said. A great big darkey came out and says: "You nigger wench, are you gwine to take dat back?" "Yon old fool ob a nigger; go way from yer brack chile, I'll smash dem white ivories clear down yfr throat. Now go away, I'm bad, an a Ddmociat lor Hayes." Malikler with one grip took out enough hair to make a common size mattress. Then bis brother Tom stepped in and parted ttem, and wanted to know what tbe fracas was about. They told; nim, when be responded tbat "bofe of yot niggers are wrong; Mr. Hayes is from Boone county, and Mr. Wbeeier from de Sewing Machine Co. in Peru, Ind.r' They would have been fighting yet had -not Tom Interfered. BLED TO DEATH. A CASE IN THE SURGEON'S OPERATING BOOM IN THE ADAMS IS8TTTU1E. A Springfield epecial of the New York Sun says: On Wednesday last, in the Adams Institute in this town, an imputation was performed upon Mr. Carstone who had fuLered compound fracture of the head of toe lemur by a fall from tbe front platform ot a street car that afterward pa-wed over the limb. Mr. Carstone was carried to the institute bospital Insensible. Oa bis arrival there he was put under tbe charge ot Dr. Adams, whose visiting time it was, and by his direction mas at once borne into tbe operating room, and Btretched on tbe table. Tbe nature of tbe wound forbade tbe application of the tourniquet, and the irjared limb had teen, consequently, very tightly tandaged, but, despite every precaution, the loss of blood was constant and great, and prevented the patiect's return to consciousness until the usual stimulants had been applied. Then he revived saöclently to be informed of bis desperate condition. He r quested tbe service of Father Fran--aioli, and from the father be received extreme unction. Then tbe operation was performed, and the artery successfully taken up. BLED TO DEATH. The patient.on reaching the bed provided for him, Bank into a comatose state, and in that condition was so bolstered up that It was believed impossible lor bim to slift his position. But at about midnight the attention of one ot the nurses was attract ed by a groan, and it ws seen that by a violant effort Mr. Carstone bad bioken the ligature that secured tbe femoral artery,, and was rapidly bleeding to df atb. The sheath of tbe artery, by the breaking eff of tbe part which had been taken up, bad been withdrawn so far into tbe patient's body that it was impossible to apply the ligatures again, and thus death seemed inevitable. Tbe nuree at once applied his thumb above the course of tbe artery, and by hard pressure was thus enabled to check in a measure tbe flow ot blcod, but a bora rible spouting flood still beat out from tbe wound as though acted upon by clock vork. Meanwhile, tbe under nurse summoned Dr., Adams, and he ordered tbe nurse to continue his efforts to check tbe blood. A powerful stimulant was at once administered, and under its eflecta Mr. Carstone was aroused to a realization of his case. He desired to make his will, and, bolstered up on the bed, be dictated that instrument. The assistant never relaxed his hold upon tbe tailing pulse, and the two attendants seveial times relieved or e another in their duty. At last the work was done; by tbat time Mr. Carstone had fallen back to bis pillow, and as he affixed his signature he died. A BIG TANK BURST. Early yesterday mornicg a stream o Croton water was turned into tbe large circular tank ot the New York Aquarium, corner of Broadway and Thirty-bfin s'.reet, lor tbe purpose of tebtins it. This tank, tbe same in which the two white whales were plaeed some weeks ago, had never been filled before, sufficient water only having been put in it on that occasion to keep tbe whales alive, it was twenty-five feet in diameter and about six and a half feet deep, holding when tull from 60,000 to 65,000 gallons. The bottom was of brick, covered with Roman cement, and the Bides for about two feet upward were of the same material, on which were set plates of polished glass two fett wide by four feet long and half an inch thick. Just at noon, when tbe water had reached to within six Id che ol the top, and orders bad been given to turn it off, a loud crash was heard, and about one-tourth of tbe wall, or side ot tbe structure, gave way, flooding the whole of the space about it. One ot the workmen, who was in tbe act of turning off a waste cock at tbe base of the wall where tbe break occurred, was struck with tbe fragments and thrown violently forward, receiving serious irjuiies about the hips and body. Two other workmen were also severely hurt, and with tbe first mentioned were sent to Bellevue Hospital for treatment. Several others were slightly Injured, including Mr. B. A. Ojden, tbe architect, wbo was superintending the operation. Mr. I. J. Harper, the agent ot the concern, eaid last night tbat be could form no idea of the amount ot damage done. N. Y. Times. A TRAIN WRECKED "FOR FUN." An attempt was made on Friday afternoon to throw a train ff the track of the Coney Island and Bith railroad. About ten minutes alter 3 o'clock a dummy engine and one car, in which were seated forty passengers,was approaching Ovington avenue crossing when tbe engineer, Isaac Ring, observed a party of boys running from the track toward the woods. He immediately suspected that tbey were np to some mischief, and putting down the brakes reversed tbe engine, which was going at a high rate of speed. A severe shock, however, followed before the train stopped.
