THERE WILL. Be; y MEETING OF THE
state Wool Growers Association of West

We hone that all Wool Growers who can,
will be in the meeting. II is patent, our
great interest wooI-grOwing, Is in immin ent
danger of RUIN under present legislation.
During the last year over one hundred mil,
lion pounds OF wool have been imported
from Buenos Ayres alone, where wool is
grown and sold Mt from i've to fifteen cents
per pound, the latter wool, too, equal in fine
ness to our best SaXony. Remember, too,
foreign woods pay less than tlve per cent. per
pound duty, while our wool is taxed not less
than nine cents per pound. VIII we longer
quietly submit to such legislation? We are
a power in the land" If we but organize and
exert it Let us not longer say To our neigh
Dor woOl-growers when we meet-"COngreSSS,
l fear, will do nothing for uS,"-let Us organ
lZe and rise like men alive 10 their and their
country'S interests, and say to onr Repre-
sentativeS i'll Congress what We must have.
Let the tremendous influx of foreign wool
audwoOlenS which are piling against us such
n crushing commercial debt-and il continue
ed must soon drain our country of its specie,
destroy our sheep and factOries-be checked,
or make them pay duties such that Ameri-

Fearful Incident In Royal Progress.
AnL.rrnrrnnln.,A... 49,. Nj =: i


a correspondent writing from Madrid
on the 18th ultimo, says:-
yesterday afternoon the Queen and
the King Consort arrived here from
Portugal, and aliEhted at the southern
station, from whence her Majesty pro-
ceeded ut once to the Church of Otocha
to offer thanks tor her safe return to
the capital. The way from the railway
terminus to that church was lined by
troops, and the Queen drove in an open
carriage and four. In the morning the
Queen, the King Consort and the Prince
of Asturia, with their suite, had assisted
at Daimiel at funeral service cele-
brated for the victims of the sad acct
dent which occurred ut the station of
that place on the 9th instant, during
the progress of their Mnjesties to Lis
bon on the new line connecting the two
capitals. Daimel is about fifteen miles
from Badnjoz. The adjacent lands of
the station of that small town were
thrcnged with people anxious to obtain
II sight of the august travellers. At the
sound of whistle, coming from the
distance, the crowd pushed on to the
station, and broke the bars in spite of
the efforts of the civil guard.
"According TO the official arrange
ments, the royal train was to stop ten
minutes mt the Daimiel station, and no
misfortune would have happened but
for accommodating locomotive.
Whether on account ofthe new opening
of the line, or of precautionary meas
ureS OF another kind, the royal train
was preceded Il mile or so by loco
motive worked by men whose duty it
was to see that the line was quite safe.
1t was not to stop mt Daimiel. More
over, the weather was rather foggv,
The warning whistle was heard several
times, but the crowd, over-contidinC in
the programme, remained ut a stand
still, spread about the line. Suddenly
the locomotive emerged from the fog,
proceeding at full speed; it had almost
reached the throng when the conduc.
to- tried TO stop it. 1t was in vain. The
locomotive passed over the groups of
living people with the velocity of light
ming, smashing down all obstacles.
It's noise was stuffed by the cries of ago
ny and terror uttered by the whole
crowd, and when the confusion had
diminished little, seven corpses were
found upon the line, among twenty
seven bodies still breathing, but horri-
bly, mutilnted.
1.-The line had been scarcely cleared
from the dead and the wounded before
the royal train was in sight, and when
II stopped Mt the station the wheels of
the carriage We're dyed with blood and
spattered with human remains. The
Queen was much affected by the awful
scene, and when informed of its appall-
ing details Her Majesty burst into tears.

Court Affairs.

The Court of Common Pleas is in

sides, having arrived in time from
Hooking Co. Considerable business is
being transacted. There were the usu-
al number of divorce cases on hand,
and soms divorces decreed. The case
ofJosepthe P. Greenwood VS. Polly Ryan
alias Polly Greenwood, which involves
the title to large amount of property,
was decided by Judge Guthrie in favor
of the defendent, the party now in pos
session of the property. The large

We lay before our readers this
morning the petition of certain pro-
minent capitalists in New York city,
asking for liberal charter from the
Legislature for the Improvement OF
the Great Kanawha River. William
H. Aspinwall and other wealthy and
influential citizens of New York, are
the signers of the petition, and they
give it as their opinion that one mil
lion six hundred thousand dollars
can readily be raised in the city OF
New York alone, if that amount
should be required to make the Kan
awha River navigable at all seasons
Of the year for shipping coal.
They cite the fact ia their petition,
that whilst Kanawha sends out about
two millions of bushels annually
to Cincinnati, Monongahela sends
annually thirty-tw two millions to Gin
cinnati and the lower markets.
We are informed that these peti-
TONERS and other Northern capital
lists have, since the year 1850, ex-
pended upwards of two millions OF
dollars in endeavoring to develope
their coal lands on the Great Kama
wha and its tributaries, Elk, Coal
and Pocetalico Rivers, and all their
efforts to mine and ship cool profita-
bly, from that region have so far
proven failure, which failure is at
tributed to the uncertain and imper-
feet navigation of the Great Kama
wha. They now desire to remedy
this by making the navigation of the
Kanawha as good for shipping coal
as the Menongahela. tits, therefore,
greatly desired that liberal charter
be granted the petitioners and 9th
ers interested in this great work.
