NABROW ESCAPE.

A Terre Hautcun in tho Pan Handle Accident. H. L. Mossier returned last night from Cincinnati, bringing with him 200 helmets tor tho use of the Knights of Pythias in their grand display to-morrow. While on his way he was in that terrible aocidenten the Pan Handle route mentioned in the telegraphic columns of this paper as having resulted fatally to the proprietor of the Sherman House, Chicago, and his son. A tew seconds before the train went over the grade he thought there was something the matter by the queer and violent shaking of the cars and spoke to the conductor about it.

They proceoded together out onto the platform when the conductor, seeing what was up, said "jump and plunged him°°"

OVT INTO THE DARKNESS. Mr. did not question the advice or command, but instantly followed suit and jumped, he knew not where, while the train was in rapid motion. He rolled down a grade and struck a log, the collision with which injured his hip somewhat. As soon as ho recovered himself he saw that by lucky chance he had jumped ou the wrigut side, whereas, it he had sprung off on the other side—theone on which the train was ditched—bo would certainly have been crushed to death.

One or two of tb- elegant coaches were split up as floe as kindling wood.

Judge Long received a letter this morning troni a prominent p.iysician in Honey Creek, formerly a resident ot this city, in which the writer stated that there was a prevailing rumor in his neighborhood, to the effect that Downey dad been bought off by the friends of Harrington, and had fled the country. The writer said be earnestly wisU^d to see the ends ot justice accomplished, and to collect one Hundred dollars, which was his duo, from Duwney. He therefore asked tho earnest cooperation of the court in bringing this recreant gentleman to a realizing sense of his obligations to the commonwealth and his creditors.

A Mjsterions Accident.

This morning about 7 o'clock James McKinney and Hiram Smith found a man lying on the Vandalia railroad, a few yards west ot the C. fc T. H. crossing. He was lying between the rails, with his bOHd agaipst the south rail. Blood was flowing freely from an tigly cut on the tcalp, and he was quite insensible. He was picked up and placed in a wagon belonging to Smith, and brought to the station house, where he was placed in charge ot Mr. Nott. When be reached the station house be had partially recovered and was able to talk, but oould not or would not give any intelligent account of himself. Mr. Nott learned from bis talk, however, that he was from St. Louis and was a railroad man. He was served with breakfast, and left to himself for a few moments, and when, about ten minutes later Mr. Nett returned to see how be was getting along, he had vanished, and was no where to be tound It is probable that be was some poor tramp, who had stumbled and fallen on the railroad track, and discovering himself within the wails ot a station house, concluded to skedaddle at the first chance.

Health Not 8.

Statistics prove that twenty-five per cent, ot the deaths are caused by consumption, and when we reflect that iiiia terrible disease in its earlier stage will readily yield to a bottle -of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrn{. (costing 25 cents), shall we condemn the sufferers for their negligence or pity them for their ignbrance.

Sudden Death of Minnie Crawford,

The Coroner's Jury Dccide That Slio Came to Her l)eaih From the Effec'sofau UverUosj of 31»rihine.

Brlle Berry, a prostitute, who has been well known in the city for some time under the assumed iminn of Minnie Crawford, died very suddenly thu morning ^it the bouse ot Cord Lee, on the corner of Second and O ik street, ft was rumored on the street this morning that the woman had poisoned herselt with morphine which she had purchased at the city drug store on the eom- of Third anil Walnut streets. Inquiry, however, developed the fact that she ha 1 purchased nothing but a boitl of spirits of camphor at the drug store. From the evidence of the inmaies of the housa we gather the fallowing facts.

At abcut two o'clock yesterday tho deceased was sitting by ibe stove in the sitting room wlieu she began to complain of beadacue and pains in her back. She retired to her roorr and was unable to come down to dinner.

Maltie Keher, one of the inmates of the house, is addicted to the use of morphine and always carries a bottle, of it in her pocket. About nine o'clock last evening the deceased asked Mattie for a smail portion of tne morphine, as she was feeling very badly and wished to frleep. The bottle was handed to her, and moistening the end ot her finger, stie look as much of the drug us wonld adhere to it. The woman illustrated this by moistening her tiugnr and placed it in the bottle and showed the jury how much would adhere to it, and t'len by way of illustrating the ditlerenc9 between uca a small quantity and wbat she considered a dose, she pouri out ol the bottle abaut ten grains of the drug, explaining that that represented toe amount she herself took shortly afterward The bottle was left in ttio room with tho sick woman altiight, and it is the theory of the physiciau that, during the night she took a second doae. Not onough was taken from the bottle to D9 misssed but, to a p-rson unaccustomed to tho use of the deadly drni:, a small dose would be sufficient to cnusj death.

Cora testifi that Bite was a vrry dissipated woman, and was some times given to fits of despondency, as women of her class g"iierally arn. At such times she would express a wish to oie.

At about 9 o'clock this morning the woman appeared to bedyin«, and Dr. Peyton was hastily summoned. He ari iv-id to late to be ot any service to the unfortuuate creature. She died a lev/ uiomeuts alter his arrival, at about ten o'clock.

Thu Oorotier's jury, i.f er listening to ail the evident, decided that the deceased came to her death from the eitec.s of an overdose of morphine utid rendered a verdict accordingly

Brazil Bulletins. BRAZIL, I.ND., Feb. 28, 1876. THE FIKK.

L'ist Na urd iy ni^ht about 9:30 P. M., a lire broke ouC in Dougherty's livery, teed ai.d H'llo stable, on East Main str et Soiim wiio had been upon the treet about 15 Hiiuutes before, and had passed the building, little knew what was io be. It was no tiina until the entire luii ding was in Amies. There was about twelve horses in the building, nine eacaping the rest suffering d-ath. Several vehicles were saved. The billiard parlor in the same building, saved a part of its goods. Our younir friend, J. W. Morrisou, Jr., who ha« but lately started in the grocery business, had the misfortune to lose about one-half of his stock. The flames then spread across the alley, badly burning the Pi.cenix saloon, ot P. Inglesby, hut his stock was mostly saved. The flames th« spread to the ware house ot Robert Stewar.'s grocery, mostly consuming it. Mr. H. Wallace, whose fruit and vegetable store was between the two last named buildings, gathered up his goods and moved them to a safe place, although his store room was uninjured He will probably move in again. There was fear at once, as the wind was blowing westward, that the frame building on thejeorner of Main and Franklin streets would go. The hose companies worked gallantly all through the conflagration. and saved the aforesaid frame building. Had it not been for the water works, aud tho gallant way in which the firemen did their duty, the heart of the city would have stood a eood chance to have been consumed. It is pot known how the tire originated but of an incendiary, as suspicious characters were seen previous to the fire. The amount of damages we have not yet learned. It is undoubtedly the largest fire ever in Brazil.

IN the OAZBTTE of February 1st an article appeared entitled "Beecher Business." It disclosed a scandal in regard to a railroad official, an engineer and bis wife. The report had been current on the street several days before its appearance in the

GAZETTE, and

at the time of publication was supposed to be fhe truth. Subsequent investigation ma&es it appear that the rumor was without foundation. We are informed by reliable parties, and ones who ought to know, that the woman in question bad never been separated .from her husband, and that she had not been keeping house since last Jane, ana that for four or five weeks prior to the time specified in the article she had been nnrsing a sick child at her mother's house.

It also appears upon investigation, that the rumor was unfounded which stated that the engineer himself bad started the report, and his affidavit on file In our office is evidence of his denial of having ever made any Bnch statement. H«r father also comes forward with particular^, concerning the case,which make it appear that the story as heard by our reporter and chronicled by him, was without foundation and nntrue in fact. It wonld also appear as if the report had been started by some enemy of the family, and for some porpose best known to himself.

Do Not

trifle with a cough, cold, or affection of the throat, longs or bronchial tubes. Dr. Ball's Cough Syrup is a positive

fc-are

Srecial Correspondence Gazette. Last night about 8 o'clock a terrible wind storm struck Princeton, a little city of some notoriiy, eighty miles south of thu E. A C. Road. Tie following from a Princetoni tn gives some account of it. A most terrific storm pasM'p over the .-outh part of our town last night. Soino people are entirely ruined. The United- Presbyrterian church, Rev. McMasters in charge, had its roof blown over the stiiet, George N. Je.auld'a brick front was blown away. Cumberland Presbyterian church steeple was blow down. The new Covineuter,Rev. Blair pastor, was destroyed. Mrs. Dorsey, the post mistress, had her house levelled to the ground aud she was herself injured. The roofs of the school building was blown in and the sessions will stop. Mrs. Donald's brick was damaged to the extent of ?5,00Q. Several families are houseless and homeless. It was the greatest destruction of property ever known in this section ot the country. It is reported that two persons, Mr. Clark, and Mr. Jaines Taylor, are Beriously, if not dangerously injured. The storm came from the West, and went Esst. A report from the West, near a Mare creed is tt.e effect that the stor was territfic burns, houses, churches and school houses were torn down. The house of John Baxter, the section boss on the E. A C., was blown down and afterwards took fire and was entirely consumed. President Martin, of the E. A C., came up this morning and got ff at Princeton, and will have it re-bui.'t. Mr. Wherrv, agent of the E. A C. at Princeton, had all of his outhouses destroyed, but, strange to say, in this

MAD FREAK OF NATURE,

his dwi-lling was unhurt.. Two of his horses in the barn were blown a distance of one square, and one into a eel lar and the other near the cellar, and wonderful to relate, neither were injured. At least thirty buildings have been destroyed. Th« train men rendered great as-sist ance to the suffering and injured people. One church, the only one in the town, that was nrt occupien was eutirtly blown down. But tor the fac that, most oi the peoele were in church, which wcic strong buildings, many migat vo been injure!.

A Hoggish Aff.ilr.

On iday, the 18th instant, a man representing himself to be a Mr. Williams, oi Young's Station, a few miles south of this city, in the E. A C. Railroad, called at the place of business of Chas. Seeburger, and desired to make a contract for the sale of four hogs, of an average weight of three hundred ponnds, which he wonld engage to deliver on the following Thursday. A price was agreed npon, and contract made between the parties.

A short time afterward Williams called again and asked for an advance of twenty five dollars, with which to purchase some groceries.

Mr. Seeburger asked him for some reference, ana the man readily agreed to furnish the best of testimonials. He said he was very well acquainted with S. S. Stone, who, he felt sure, would vouch for bim. He went away, and shortly returned with a note from Mr. Stone, reoommendiag him as perfectly responsible. The money was advanced to him, and he departed. Thursday eame, but no granger with a quartette of fat porkers appeared to Mr. Seeburger. Calling next day at the store of Mr. Stone, Mr. S. discovered to bis dismay that the note was a forgery. This morning he secured the'assistance of Officer Vandover, and went to You jg Station in search of the culprit, but no snch man was known in the neighborhood. Mr. Seebarger will be compelled to pecket a «loss of $25. This little episode will tend to shake the confidence of that gentleman in honest looking grangers.

SHOOTING AFP*AY.

Frank I.ee Kweim Tn# I'jcly tViinnd. I'rnm In the Handn of MO I'nknovrn Han.

A shooting affray occurred last evening about 10 o'clock, at the saloon ot Frank Lee, on Main street, between First and Second, in whiou Leo received two paiutul but not dangerous flesh wounds.

The particulars of the affair as gathered from eye witnesses are as folloWB: About 10 o'clock a mac enteied the saloon, took a drink, and then passed into the back room where several men were playing cards. He talked in a very offensive manner and said something at which Lee took oflense. Not wishing to make any disturbance in his own house, however, he waited until the man went out, aud following him outside the door informed him that his language had beeen offensive and bo did not wish such pert formauces repeated in his bouse. The fellow replied, with an oath, that he talked where, when, and how he pleased, at the same tiuie placing bis hand roughly on Lee's shoulder, and pushing him back against the building. At this Lee became enraged beyond control, and knocked his man down, and swabbed the gutter with him. When he thought be bad punished the fellow severely enough he released him and turned to go into the house, when the man drew a revolver and fired two shots. One shot taking effect in the fleshy part of Lee's right leg, and the other inflicting a flesh wound io the hip. Tho shootist then turce 1 and ran away Lee di not know who the man was' nor could any one who was in the saloon at the time give any information tion on the subject, From the de scription, however, the man is supo^ed to be a bricklayer, by the name of L'iuis Hossler. The fact that a brother ot Hossler called verv early this morning to see bow badly Loe had been injun-d, gives additional strengh to the suspicion. IIas8ler will probably be arrested today, it he cau be iouud.

LATKK.

The man's name is Louis Horsely. A complaint was filed agains*' him this afternoon before Esq. Cookerly, by Frank Lee, for shooting with intent to wound. A warrant was issued for his arrest, and placed In tho hands ol Deputy Constable Flaid.

Officer Downey, being near, promptly t*rnel in an alarm and the fire department as promptly turned out. The smoke was so stifliing and the north oast wHg ot the house, over the dining room that the firHuien were unable to enter the servants' quarters at all, ano were cotnDelied '.o delude that part I the building, before discovering exactly V*bere the fire was. After all t'.e flumes had been put out, it was 8°en that some coals must have lallen Irom a well heaped grate tire, which burned a hole through the car pet and into the joists Between th floor and the ceiling- From this it wah silently con vey» to the wails. The damage will be fully met by insurance. For the uniting efforts ot the boys of tbe department and the efficiency of tHe water works, Mr. G. F.

marriage "Belles"

Last Thursday night, now one week gone, tbe little city of Desnison, on the Vandalia railroad, was alive with social excitement. Tne event was tbe marriage of Miss Belle BlackbaMi, daughter one of tbe most honored and wealthy citizens of that section, to Jerome Nichols, a werthy yonng man, resident at the place. In fact, it is said be never had any desire to "rome" away. The knot was tied by Rev. Page, and is a yery Gordian knot of tightness, whioh no man will ever dare or desire to cast asnnder.

THE SUCCESSFUL PHYSICIAN. From the-St. Louts Globe. There is probably no man to whom the community owe so much as to the honest fair spoken physician, who does bis actual duty, both to himself and to his patients. Really skilifal physicians are not so numerous that their virtues need no mention, and hence the advertisement of Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, may well claim the reader's attention. Dr. Pierce is a type of a class of men who obtain success careful and well directed effort, not

attempting too much, or creating false ideas as to ability. The only reliable physician in these days of complicated disorders and high-pressure living is the "Specialist the msn who understands his one branch of tbe bnsineo. Such in his line is Dr. Pierce. For the benefit of his readers be has written a "Common Sense Medical Advisor," which is well worth reading by those who need such a work. With strict business honor, high professional skill, reasonable fees, and a large corps of competent assistants, Dr. Pierce will doubtlsss make bis name familiar aa household words."
