Nearly Every Railroad in the State New York, March a—There died Sunday in the town poorhouse at Uniondale, L I., Timothy Smith, TO yean of age, who liaCl been pronounced dead and was partially laid out for burial nearly twenty-four hours before death actually took place. Smith', who waa once a very wealthy farmer at Freeport, lost all bo potmoosod through drink, and Anally landed in the poorhouse, where for several months he suffered from cancer of the stomach. Saturday, as he was evidently sinking, Dr. Rahme, the town physician, waa sent for, and while be was there the old man ceased to breathe and his pulse beat no more. Keeper Hendrick Ryder shortly after commenced to prepare the body for burial. He washed the body and covered it with a sheet, intending to clothe it next morning. When morning came the keeper went to finish hin work and had no sooner entered the room than to became almost senseless from frights being greeted by the supposed corpse saying: "Why didn't you put more clothing on me-, it's so very cold.'1 Ryder ran out and sent for the doctor, who found the old man still had life in him. Ho was placed in a warm bed and well cared for, but the fatal cancer, probably accelerated by the cold, ended his life seven hours later.  of the Houae. Chicago, March 8.—6. O'Hara, assistant superintendent on the Chicago division of the Pullman Palace Car company, caused considerable sensation at the Palmer, house by malting a mad plunge into the rotunda while delirious from erysipelas, from which he has been suffering for several days. The back windows of his room, which is in the sixth story, overlook the rotunda back of the hotel office. At about 9 o'clock he became delirious, and in spite of the efforts of his attendants broke away from them, and with a wild cry jumped from the window. With nothing to arrest his fall he would doubtless hare been killed, but in his descent be encountered two skylights, each projected by a wire netting, and passing through all these obstructions he reached the tiottom with slight injuries, so far as could be ascertained. He got up and was able to walk, and the physician who examined him found some bad braises and a few cats from the glass, but no broken bones, which was regarded as a remarkable fact by the medical man, notwithstanding the circumstances.

The first one went down a six feet OravoL Washington, March 8.—The secretary of the treasury sent to the speaker of the house of representatives an answer to the Bland resolution, calling for information in regard to the past and future policy of the treasury department on the silver question. It is an exhaustive document of forty pages and includes a vast amount of correspondence and statistical information. As to his effort to promote silver circulation the secretary says: I have labored to promote the circulation of silver with unremitting energy. I have prexsed its circulation at a constant expense to the treasury, when other forms of lawful money could have been circulated without such cost I have pressed, its circulation at the expense of the United States notes (ones and twos) which, as fast as redeemed, have been reissued only in larger denominations. Loudon, March 8.- -Tuc government indicated through a ministerial utterance that they expected to fail on the Irish question. Mr. Morley, chief secretary for Ireland, in an address at the conference of Liberal delegates, said: "The government is now face to face with the Irish difficulty, and will probably be compelled to make an early appeal to the oountry." • embankment and struck on its side. Engineer V. O. Mitchell escaped injury. Fireman D. D. Martin, in the act of jumping, was struck in the middle of the back, his hip dislocated, and his abdomen crushed. Fireman L. W. Philbriok, of ths second engine, crawled under the engine, through steam and hot water, to the side of Martin, and drew him out from under his engine, where he must have been tortured beyond description. Philbrick then fell senseless by Martin's side. The cold was most intense, and the men had no sooner reached the outer air than their garments froze. They were taken by Engineers Mitchell and Stevens to the saloon car and taken to Bryant's Fond. Philbrick was chilled and stunned, and was unconscious most of the time. Martin was told that he could live but » short time. He said: "I want to see mother." He was told that this would be impossible as be was too near his end. He then said: "Tell her, I am not afraid to die." A little later he said: "I am willing and anxious to die." His agony was terrible# too much so to be described. At last he begged the doctors to give him something to take away his senses and then to cut his throat and let him die quickly. Hopeless as the attempt seemed to try to dress his wounds the physicians, Drs. Yates and P. de Kart, of Lord Randolph Churchill has written a letter to The Daily News describing the statement in a leading article of that paper that he, Lord Carnarvon and Lord Ashbourne had prepared a scheme for home rule for Ireland as the falsest of all falsehoods ever emanating from a newspaper. Ha says: "I have never departed from the opinions expressed in my speech at Edinburgh on Dec. 30, ISA It is absolutely false to say that Lord Salisbury's government ever wavered in resolute hostility to repeal of the union, or anything approaching repeat" In conclusion he says: "Without, of course, expecting The Daily News to apologise, I trust that it will osase to propagate calumnious libela" A weeping little woman, who said she was Mrs. Whitney, of Brooklyn, called at Agent Smith's office at 382 West street and said her son was a deckhand on the Idlewild, and as she hadn't heard from him she feared be was on the lost lifeboat Mr. Smith assured her that ha was probably still on the Idlewild.

The immediate occasion for the law 1* the manner in which the details at the recent Laverty Mai in this city were published throughout the state. The Jenny City charter, over which there was a bitter light last winter, and which failed of passage by a small majority, was introduced again by Mr. Pearson, of Hudson county. The Jersey City bridge bill and the bill to put a tunnel instead of a bridge at the famous "Gap" at Washington street were both the subject of an animated fight, and were finally forced through to a third reading. Questionable Testimony. GOLD GOING TO EUROPE. I have pressed its circulation at the' expense of national bank notes. I have upheld ita value by never compelling ita receipt by any creditor of the government and never failing to provide by exchange or transfers whatever currency might be preferred. The policy of the treasury had been under my predecessors, ever since specie redemptions of United States notes began, Jan. 1, 1879, to admit their receipt for duties on imports (despite the provision of the act of Feb. 35, 1802, section 5), rather than oblige Importers to go to the treasury to get those notes redeemed in coin, which would then immediately be returned from the custom house receipts for duties. The secretary makes an elaborate review of the silver question in all its aspect*, and defends the policy of the department miring the reeds of congress, when it seemed as though a gold panic was imminent, as the only proper course to pursue under the circumstances. j The Balance of Trade la Favor of tha Nrw Yobx, March 8.—By to-day's steamer 91,SOS,000 in gold bars was shipped to Kuropet J. .Mill W. Seligman send $106,000; Haflgarten & Co, (100,000; Lazard Freres, $500,000, and Kidder, Peabody & Co., $500,000. At the office of Messrs. Seligman & Co., a gentleman said: "I have not known so much gold shipped abroad in thirteen years. An unusually large amount has been sent during the last month. It simply shows that the balance of trade is in favor of foreign countries. Another reason for the large shipment is that the interest on government bonds in this country is so low and the price so high that we have been buying bonds in Europe. We do not buy large quantities, but the many little lots amount to a good deal during a week. The commercial bills are so high that we have avoided paying the rate of exchange by shipping the gold. It iff likely that tin shipping will continue for a month or six weeks longer, or until this country begins shipping more goods abroad." Other Bide. BUTLER AND BANK8. Their Accounts to bo Overhauled by tha • War Department. In the speech referred to Lord Randolph said that the Tories would not yield an inch on the home rule question, and would not .make any further concession to Mr. Parnell either on the land, franchise, or on the local government question. Hie News, referring to Lord Randolph Churchill's letter, admits that it would be difficult, legally, to prove the issel ttnns made by The News, but says it is significant that the Irish members supported the Conservatives in their election. Washington, March 8.—Secretary Manning transmitted to the speaker of the house of representatives a reply to the resolution adopted by the house of Feb. 18, calling for a statement of all moneys or funds seised and collected by (Jens. B. F. Butler and N. P. Banks, or on their order, while in command of the department of the gulf, and particularly of all amounts seised or collected under Gen. Banks' order by officers or authorities of the United States in New Orleans during the period from May 1,1880, to May 1, 1885, together with the disposition of the said moneys and funds so seised and appropriated by the United States. The whole amount of moneys or funds seised by Geo. Butler and accounted for to the department was $28B,684, seized from New Orleans banks. The amounts seized by Gen. Banks' order and accounted for aggregate $47,889 in actual cash. Contemplating action by congress to rdmbune'ths parties from whom the property was seised, the secretary of the treasury calls attention to the fact that $15,861 has been paid to George bow tor the seisore of a bark. The document was referred to the committee on war claims. Dublin, March 8.—At the fortnightly meeting of the Irish National league the receipts since the last meeting were announced to be 488,800.

Just before he died he asked: "Were any ot the boys hurt!" He was told none seriously. He said: "Tell Lew not to forget me." His .last words were: "I want to see mother." rages were now of frequent occurrence in Ireland. If any were committed the league was not responsible for them. He charged the enemies of home rule with conspiring to Injure the league, and declared that the socalled outrages were mere inventions of their malice. He urged that a record of evictions be published weekly. On the general question of silver the lecralary reiterates the views expressed in hia annual report to congress. As to what be will do in the future the aeoretary says A PECULIAR RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Iks Baggage Oar Upsets, Bat Is Poshed Aside. A wrecking train was started at once from Tbrtland, under the direction of Assistant Locomotive Foreman J. Stewart. He was BLUE FOR DUNCAN. It has become plain, to all who take comirehensive and practical views of public policy, that the United States can do no better than return at the earliest possible day to a bimetallic unit of value. By this I mean: 1. The monetary unit embodied in coins both of silver and of gold. St. Vt, March 3.—A peculiar accident occurred to the fast Beaten express from Montreal, due here at 10:80.

Nobody was hurt, and another train was at once made op, tearing fbr Boston only about a half hour late.
