ANOTHER RAILROAD MASSACRE!
Over One Hundred Troops Killed and
Wounded

CINCISNATI, Sept 1S.-The disaster OF
the Ohio and Mississippi railroad proves
worse than at first reported. Four passen-
ger cars were preci pitated into the creek
! and one box and one baggage Car fell on
top of them. These ears contained eom-
panies K, F, G, and l. and the latter two
companies are the principal sufferers
Captain Howard, of company |, is among
the killed. Up to II o'clock this morning
about thirty Killed have been taken out,
and more are supposed to be beneath the
wreck. A train is on the way here with
ninetytwo wounded The impression at
the scene is that there have been from for
ty to fifty killed. There seems to be but
little doubt that the bridge had been tam
pered with by malicious and traitorous
persons. The bridge was sixty feet span
and ten feet high, and was only recently
inspected.

The National Finances The North
American calls attention to the fact that,
large as are our war expenditures, compared
with our previous experience, the whole
outlay of the government, both civil and
military, will not be much greater than the
ordinary expenses of some of the govern
ments of Europe The British isles have
less population than the United States, and
yet their government expenditures reach
e7O,O00,OOO, or sS3O,0oO,0OO, and
France, with about three millions of peo-
pie more than We have, spends 1900 000,-
900 francs, or $40, 100000.
