William Somerville, Jr., a Hamilton commission merchant, tells a thrilling story. "I left tha passenger coach," he said, "just before wo reached St George and went into smoker. A few minutes later the car began ' to pitch and the seats flew up. There was a sickening crash behind us. I ran to the rear door and saw an appalling wreck. The pas-1 sender coach I had just left and the dining car had pitched Into the ravine, sixty feet balow, and the drawing room car was hanging half way down the bank. I ran down the bank. There must have been twenty 1 people there in a heap. Some were alive and not much hurt; others were crushed almost beyond recognition. The first person 1 extricated was a bride who was badly cut about the head and injured internally. Her husband was unhurt, but he was so excited he could render no assistance. While we wore getting the people out a Are started within a foot of a mass of people who were -so wedged in that they could not move. Their screams were heartrending, but with the aid of overcoats, seal sacques and snow we extinguished the flames before any one was burned." T. L. Lewis, of Chatham, another of the survivors, said: "1 wan in the smoking car reading. A friend asked me to go in the dining car. 'Wait till I finish this page,' I said. So he waited for me.

Mr. Umberger innocently accompanied them through the house, but became suspicious and slipped 911,000 In currency and more than that in securities from a cupboard drawer into his pocket The men then commanded him, at the points of revolvers, to hand it oyer. refused to do. The men fired two shots into his body, killing him almost instantly. They took the money and fled.

Washington, March 1.—Mr. Cowles, author of the bill to repeal the tax on tobacco, is very indignant at the obstructive tactics employed by certain Democrats to prevent a vote on his JDiU. "I desire," said he, "to plac e the responsibility where it belongs. Ever since the bill was introduced obstructive taotics have been employed to prevent its consideration. The bill would pass by seventy majority or over if a vote could be had. This has been demonstrated. Washington, March 1.—The notable development of the day in the way of cabinet gossip is the entire disgruntlement of the New York contingent It is louldly proclaimed that Piatt and Miller are out of the race. Early last evening William H. Seward, a son of the famous Seward, began to take the position of the compromise candidate for cabinet honors for the Empire state. Piatt and Miller men admitted that their favorites were distanced, and a majority seemed to be in favolr of Saward. The consensus of opinion in the Arlington house lobby indicates that the cabinet would surely contain Blaine, Wanamaker, Noble, Windom and Palmer. Friends of Governor Rusk bave been making strong efforts in his behalf, but Senator Palmer's position is looked upon as too secure for dislodgement. Tho name Ctf Whitelaw Re id was vaguely suggested aa a soft to New York, but the Republican editor was not held in great favor by the professional politicians. London, March L—In the event of The Times' counsel "taking to be allowed to proceed with the Parnell inquiry, Sir Charles Russell will press the judges to adjourn until an interim report on the letters has been presented to parliament In the lobby of the house of commons it is taken for granted that such a report will be presented, which will enable the opposition to attack tha government on the subject. Mr. CattpbeU telegraphs from Antwerp that he has found no' traee of Pigott. Quite a spirited bout took place between Senators Gobin and McCreary over the passage on second reading of the bill requiring the board of managers of tho Soldiers' home at Erie to provide transportation to all soldiers discharged from the home, and to oolleot the costs from the counties where the men reside. On motion of Gen. Gobin the latter provision was stricken out. i POWDER Absolutely Pure. Thl* powder never varle*. A marvel of j uritj 8tlength And wholfftomeness.

Royal Baking Powdck Co., 1(4 Wall St., N. Y. A number of bills were passed on first and second reading, and the senate adjourned until next Wednesday night "But Mr. Mills, Mr. McMillan, the two Breckinridges and Speaker Carlisle have worked night and day to put obstructions m its way. For the past four days they have encduraged all motions and measures to consume timj ; have put men forward to talk against time; have talked themselves to consume time to stave off my measure. The people should know that while they pretend to want the tobacco tax repealed, they are covertly doing all in their power to prevent it from coming to a vote. They fear going on The Record. They have not been very prominent in obstructive tactics, as then their opposition would be too apparent for their purpose, but secretly, on the floor and off, they have used all their efforts to prevent it from being even considered, bpeaker Carlisle ban aided and abetted them at every step. The last six days of congress are suspension days. He keeps a list of members who move to take up any measure they want Two North Carolina members were near the top of the list For fear one of them would move to take up my bill and pass it under suspension of the rules, he has placed their names away down in the list, so. that they will never be reached this session. With two-thirds ot the house in favor of my bill, with assurances that the senate will pass it as soon as it reaches them, and that it would-become a law within twenty-four hours but for the obstructive tactics of the men I've named, it does seem to me that the people of North Carolina and the country should know who are in the way of its passage." A Radical project to give a banquet to Mr. Parnell ha* been taken up with enthusiasm. Mr. Parnell has intimated his acceptance of the honor. Lord Granville or Lord Roseberry will be asked to preside. The house reconsidered the vote by "which the bill for the uniform payment of election officers at $3.50 per day was killed.'

Baltimore, Ma.ch 1. —The Becond annual convention of the Republican league of the United States opened at' Ford's opera house. The Standard, referring to' the oollapse of The Time*' case In regard to the forged Parnellite letters, asked why Mr. Parnell did not take means himself to prove that the letters alleged to have been written by him ware forgeries^. He would thus, The Standard says, "have saved himself, the public and parliament from all trouble, anxiety and suspense. As he refrained from pursuing this course, he compelled the public to draw its own conclusion, and, if the Inference has been so injurious to him, fairness compels us to say he has only himself to thank for it." Tne convention was opened by President Foster. He introduced the Rev. Alexander Proudfut, of the Second Presbyterian church, who invoked the Divine blessing and offered a prayer. Hear Ye. The Arlington, where Gen. Harrison is stopping, was besieged all day by politicians and would be office holders. The jam in the lobbies was at times so great that it was almost impossible to move. Mr. Foster then delivered his address to ttw convention. It concluded thus: "Hail to the four new states, and let the inscription be written above the portals: 'You come as-Republican states with loyalty In every heart' Then for the future the league has a destiny, and let it stand for a true and strong government We are assured that the foreign policy will be an American policy, for a great man will be secretary of state, and the American fishermen will be protected all along the shore, even to the coast of Maine. Let the league proclaim 'in favor of America for the Americans, and thus maintain our national dignity and commercial prosperity." BRUTAL SCHOOL TEACHERS.

At one time yeetefday there was nothing before the house, and a feint was made by a member, who, it was believed, intended to call up the Cowlee bill.

St. Seobge, Ont, March 1.—Mrs. Higgins, of Toronto, who was bo terribly injured in the St. George wreck, has died. This in-31'ea'ee the death roll to ten. Miss Andrews, of Belliville, O.; Dr. Sequesne, of Cleveland, O., and Miss McLeod, of Ingersoll, Ont, are thought to be dying. William Somerville, Jr., a Hamilton commission merchant, tells a thrilling story. "I left tha passenger coach," he said, "just before wo reached St George and went into smoker. A few minutes later the car began ' to pitch and the seats flew up. There was a sickening crash behind us. I ran to the rear door and saw an appalling wreck. The pas-1 sender coach I had just left and the dining car had pitched Into the ravine, sixty feet balow, and the drawing room car was hanging half way down the bank. I ran down the bank. There must have been twenty 1 people there in a heap. Some were alive and not much hurt; others were crushed almost beyond recognition. The first person 1 extricated was a bride who was badly cut about the head and injured internally. Her husband was unhurt, but he was so excited he could render no assistance. While we wore getting the people out a Are started within a foot of a mass of people who were -so wedged in that they could not move. Their screams were heartrending, but with the aid of overcoats, seal sacques and snow we extinguished the flames before any one was burned." T. L. Lewis, of Chatham, another of the survivors, said: "1 wan in the smoking car reading. A friend asked me to go in the dining car. 'Wait till I finish this page,' I said. So he waited for me. That book Jived two liv:Dw, for a minute later the crash came." An Afeed Pennsylvania' Farmer Shot Down Now and Old Bills—Adjoarned Until Next The Fight Over the Cowlea In- A Compromise Candidate to Somerset, Pa., March 1.—Early in the evening the house of Herman Umberger, an aged farmer living on the pike, twelve miles east of here, near Jennerstown, was entered by two masked men claiming to be officers, with a search warrant for jewelry that had been stolen from a peddler in the neighborhood a short time ago. Mr. Umberger innocently accompanied them through the house, but became suspicious and slipped 911,000 In currency and more than that in securities from a cupboard drawer into his pocket The men then commanded him, at the points of revolvers, to hand it oyer. refused to do. The men fired two shots into his body, killing him almost instantly. They took the money and fled. The aged wife, with her family of children, witnessed the cold blooded murder, but were threatened with death if they gave an alar-o, and it was fully an hour before the farm bell was rung. Searching parties pursued tile robbers through the snow, but failed to capture them. , Rewards aggregating C1,500 have been offered for the murderers, who, if caught, are likely to be summarily dealt with. and Robbed. ParneH's Forces Now Assume Wednesday. the Front. the Offensive. Harbisburg, March 1.—In tho state senate Mr. Harlan presented a bill prohibiting all suspended electric wires In cities of over 30,- 000 population.

Washington, March 1.—Mr. Cowles, author of the bill to repeal the tax on tobacco, is very indignant at the obstructive tactics employed by certain Democrats to prevent a vote on his JDiU. "I desire," said he, "to plac e the responsibility where it belongs. Ever since the bill was introduced obstructive taotics have been employed to prevent its consideration. The bill would pass by seventy majority or over if a vote could be had. This has been demonstrated. Washington, March 1.—The notable development of the day in the way of cabinet gossip is the entire disgruntlement of the New York contingent It is louldly proclaimed that Piatt and Miller are out of the race. Early last evening William H. Seward, a son of the famous Seward, began to take the position of the compromise candidate for cabinet honors for the Empire state. Piatt and Miller men admitted that their favorites were distanced, and a majority seemed to be in favolr of Saward. The consensus of opinion in the Arlington house lobby indicates that the cabinet would surely contain Blaine, Wanamaker, Noble, Windom and Palmer. Friends of Governor Rusk bave been making strong efforts in his behalf, but Senator Palmer's position is looked upon as too secure for dislodgement. Tho name Ctf Whitelaw Re id was vaguely suggested aa a soft to New York, but the Republican editor was not held in great favor by the professional politicians. London, March L—In the event of The Times' counsel "taking to be allowed to proceed with the Parnell inquiry, Sir Charles Russell will press the judges to adjourn until an interim report on the letters has been presented to parliament In the lobby of the house of commons it is taken for granted that such a report will be presented, which will enable the opposition to attack tha government on the subject. Mr. CattpbeU telegraphs from Antwerp that he has found no' traee of Pigott. Quite a spirited bout took place between Senators Gobin and McCreary over the passage on second reading of the bill requiring the board of managers of tho Soldiers' home at Erie to provide transportation to all soldiers discharged from the home, and to oolleot the costs from the counties where the men reside. On motion of Gen. Gobin the latter provision was stricken out. i POWDER Absolutely Pure. Thl* powder never varle*. A marvel of j uritj 8tlength And wholfftomeness.

Royal Baking Powdck Co., 1(4 Wall St., N. Y. A number of bills were passed on first and second reading, and the senate adjourned until next Wednesday night "But Mr. Mills, Mr. McMillan, the two Breckinridges and Speaker Carlisle have worked night and day to put obstructions m its way. For the past four days they have encduraged all motions and measures to consume timj ; have put men forward to talk against time; have talked themselves to consume time to stave off my measure. The people should know that while they pretend to want the tobacco tax repealed, they are covertly doing all in their power to prevent it from coming to a vote. They fear going on The Record. They have not been very prominent in obstructive tactics, as then their opposition would be too apparent for their purpose, but secretly, on the floor and off, they have used all their efforts to prevent it from being even considered, bpeaker Carlisle ban aided and abetted them at every step. The last six days of congress are suspension days. He keeps a list of members who move to take up any measure they want Two North Carolina members were near the top of the list For fear one of them would move to take up my bill and pass it under suspension of the rules, he has placed their names away down in the list, so. that they will never be reached this session. With two-thirds ot the house in favor of my bill, with assurances that the senate will pass it as soon as it reaches them, and that it would-become a law within twenty-four hours but for the obstructive tactics of the men I've named, it does seem to me that the people of North Carolina and the country should know who are in the way of its passage." A Radical project to give a banquet to Mr. Parnell ha* been taken up with enthusiasm. Mr. Parnell has intimated his acceptance of the honor. Lord Granville or Lord Roseberry will be asked to preside. The house reconsidered the vote by "which the bill for the uniform payment of election officers at $3.50 per day was killed.' AMERICA FOR AMERICAN^ President Foster's Address at the Conven- The following bills were reported from committee: Compelling the attendance for the entire school year of all children between the ages of 7 and 12 years in cities of the first class; authorizing county commissioners to pay rewards for the detection of inoendiariea; to protect life and limb of those employed in the construction of pew buildings; for a naval battalion for the national guard of the state; to provide for the assistance of indigent exsoldiers, sailors or mariaes of the war or the indigent widows, mothers or orphans of deceased ex-soldiers (authorizing county commissioners to levy a tax of one mill to raise a fund for the relief of such persons in the county). tlon of the He publican Uignt. Baltimore, Ma.ch 1. —The Becond annual convention of the Republican league of the United States opened at' Ford's opera house. The Standard, referring to' the oollapse of The Time*' case In regard to the forged Parnellite letters, asked why Mr. Parnell did not take means himself to prove that the letters alleged to have been written by him ware forgeries^. He would thus, The Standard says, "have saved himself, the public and parliament from all trouble, anxiety and suspense. As he refrained from pursuing this course, he compelled the public to draw its own conclusion, and, if the Inference has been so injurious to him, fairness compels us to say he has only himself to thank for it." Tne convention was opened by President Foster. He introduced the Rev. Alexander Proudfut, of the Second Presbyterian church, who invoked the Divine blessing and offered a prayer. Hear Ye. The Arlington, where Gen. Harrison is stopping, was besieged all day by politicians and would be office holders. The jam in the lobbies was at times so great that it was almost impossible to move. Mr. Foster then delivered his address to ttw convention. It concluded thus: "Hail to the four new states, and let the inscription be written above the portals: 'You come as-Republican states with loyalty In every heart' Then for the future the league has a destiny, and let it stand for a true and strong government We are assured that the foreign policy will be an American policy, for a great man will be secretary of state, and the American fishermen will be protected all along the shore, even to the coast of Maine. Let the league proclaim 'in favor of America for the Americans, and thus maintain our national dignity and commercial prosperity." BRUTAL SCHOOL TEACHERS.

He had barely time to finish his breakfast and hurriedly scan his correspondence when the cards of callers began to pile in on him. Elucottville, March 1.—Charles Blackmon, a teacher In the public school, punished John Mullaly, a 14-year-old Iwy, so badly that it may prove fatal. Mullaly is delicate and has been afflicted with ulcers on the eyeball, and in consequence wears glasses.

Then Blackmon beat him so severely that blood flowed from gashes in his wrist. Blackmon will be prosecuted. York State and Michigan.

Albany, March L—The famous "Old Salt" Alvord, ex-lieutenant governor, was a visitor to the senate and was heartily welcomed. The business transacted related mostly to metropolitan affairs. Senator Coggwhall introduced a bill making it a misHwm iaror for manufacturers of artioles in which there Is cotton seed oil not to place upon the package a notice of this fact. Senator Coggeshall had also a bill prohibiting the employment of foreign contract or alien labor on public work. The assembly did nothing of special interest The new assembly ceiling committee organized by selecting Hamilton Fish as chairman, and he at once opened communication with prominent lawyers wanted as counsel. The attorney general informed the trustees of public buildings—Governor Hill, Lien tenant Governor Jones and Speaker Cole—that they have no power to removg Superintendent Andrews, and the; so reported to the assembly. The assembly judiciary committee voted to report Mr. Koesch's weekly pay bill, with an amendment requiring all corporations to pay their help semi-monthly. The bill also prohibits payment in "store orders." Mr. Timothy Healy, Nationalist, said that in view of the fact that Attorney General Webster had received in November Pigott's statement to the effect that he could not stand a cross examination regarding any testimony he might give concerning the alleged Parnell letters, he (Healy) would give notice of a motion declaring that Hir Richard Webster had forfeited the confidence of parliament.Oranges direct from Florida.

Ferris and Boss Ham, Bacon and Beef. It iB amusing to watch the actions in the house of Messrs. Randall and Mills. They remain in their seats constantly, each eyeing the other and keeping him from taking any advantage to call up the Cowles free tobacco bill. Neither leaves his seat .for luncheon except for a few minutes. At one time yeetefday there was nothing before the house, and a feint was made by a member, who, it was believed, intended to call up the Cowlee bill. Both Randall and Mills sprang to their feet and looked at each other savagely, and then sat down. At 9:30, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Harrison and Mrs. McEee drove to the White House and hod a brief interview with the president and Mrs. Cleveland. Gen. Harrison retired at 11 o'clock.

J., March 1.—James Dolan, a dwarl lees than four feet in height, was committed to the jail in Morris oouaty some weeks ago for habitual drunkenness and disorderly conduct. The sudden cutting off of his customary supply of strong liquor at first almost prostrated him, and he bogged for a drink. The attendants told him that he might have all the water he wanted, but he used that uninviting beverage very sparingly. Recently, however, he has developed a passion for water that is but little less pronounced than his old cravimg for whisky. He insist, on having a gallon of the chilly fluid left in his cell each night and he drinks it all, and wants more before morning. Duriug the hours of daylight he consume* twice as muck and says he could swallow double tho quantity if it were given him. He protests (hat hC never before enjoyed such health, but th? doctor thinks of curtailing his allowance, lest his copious libations should result in dropsy.
