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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
