Special Despatch to The EUening Telegraph
WmKEsBARRE, June '10.--A very large meet
ing of miners was held at Kidders' Grove,
near this place, yesterday afternoon. The
speakers were Messrs. Cornell, Walker, Lotus,
and Gardner.
Mr.. McGaw, one of the committee who waited
on Mr.. Parrish on Saturday last and arranged
the basis, reported that they had fixed the rate
for each car on the basis of So per ton at Ho-
boIen, and twelve per cent. of any advance
over $5. Many of those present at the meeting
could not understand whether the 10 per cent
was upon any advance, either of twenty-five
cents fifty cents, or one dollar more, or whether
IL was twelve cents upon each car. If the latter.
they would get nothing even if the price should
rise to $500; while, if it reached So they
would receive twelve cents. AS this matter
could not be satisfactorily explained and settled
Yesterday, the meeting adjourned to next Mon
day night, when regular monthly meeting will
be held in their hall.
1t has been arranged between the Luzerne
county miners and the Grand Council at Oily
phant not to resume work for the present.
The Delaware and Hudson Canal Company
win not listen to the per cent, proposition of
the miners, who offered to resume work for one
fifth of the coal produced. 1t is reported that
one or two of the smaller comp anies at Pittston
have or win resume work in day or two.

The Railroad Accident.

The Railroad Accident.
BALTIMoRB, June 10.-Mr. King, Vice-Presl-
dent of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, and
William Toole Assistant Superintendent of
Transportation, give the following statement
in regard to the accident which occurred to the
through express train from Washington to New
York last night
The train was proceeding at the usual speed,
when, just after passing Annapolis Junction, on
entering the cut n few hundred yards from the
junction north. near the point where the car
riage road crosses the railroad, the engine struck
q cow. The cow-catcher threw the beast from
the track against the bank, and the engine,
tender, baggage and mail-car passed on safely,
when the COW rolled down the bank under the
wheels of the smoking or forward passenger-car
The train was stopped about one hundred
yards from the point where the COW was struck.
The [smoking car, filed with passengers, was
thrown off the track on the north side OF the
road, completely wrecked and crushed. The
second passenger car mounted the smoking
car and rested on it, This car was badly da-
maged, but was not broken up. The next, a
chair car ran on the wreck and into it n few
feet, and was considerably battered. The only
persons injured were in the first two passenger
cars, and the number is stated at eight OF
these, Samuel Werl, German gentleman of At
lanta, Georgia, was the only person seriously and
dangerously injured.
He was in the smoking-car, and was on his
way to Europe. The other seven persons were
more or less bruised and cut, but none of them
fatally or dangerously. A colored woman had
her collar-bone broken The names of the par
ties hurt are not given. One was a child named
Lincoln, in charge of its grandmother, and
nursed by colored woman who was injured.
Mr.. Elbows of New York was one of the in
jured. AS soon as the news of the accident
reached the city, about 10 p. NJ, train with
physicians and assistance was Immediately des-
patched to the wreck. The delayed train
reached here at P. NJ, and proceeded immedi-
ntelY to New York

PENNSYLVANIA POLITICS.

Why Geary Went to Washington Yesterday.
The n. Y. HeraM's Washington correspondent
writes yesterday
Geary, of Pennsylvania, arrived here last night,
and to-day had private interview with the Presi-
dent on the coming fall election in that State Geary
is anxious to be reelected but there is considerable
opposition to him among some prominent Republl-
cans in Pennsylvania, such as Alexander Mcclure.
Not few OF the Federal Oflice-holders in the Key
stone State have been induced TO take ST les with
Mcclure and his friends against GeaTy's nomination,
ON the ground that he cannot carry the State, and
that they are bound to go for some man who will
lead the party TO victory and thus sustain Grants
administration. II is understood that Gearys mission
here to complain to the President Of the conduct
OF these Federal Ohceholders Geary assured the
President of his popularity in Pennsylvania and inti
mated that he was about the only man who could
carry the State next fall against the Democrats.
Grant is not Indifferent to the success Of the Repub-
ican ticket at the coming fall elections but whether
he will make the naughty Federal onlceholders in
PENNSYLVANIA rally TO the support Of Geary against
the field remains to be seen. Thus far he has only
given his usual promise, viz ITO look into the
matter" This is phrase Invariably used by the Pre-
sdent on all occasions where his mind is not fully
made up.

The Great Railroad Accident-Re-
ported Death of Three Per-
sons Forty Persons
Injured.

BALTIMORE, June 10.-But few additional
particulars have been received regarding the
railroad accident since my first despatch. One
man had his eye knocked out and the whole side
of his face dreadfully bruised. His name is not
known. He is since reported as being dead.
1t is also reported that woman and her child
were killed, and about forty persons more or less
injured. The wounded were obliged to remain
nearly all night on the side of the road. The
trains were filled mostly with Northern passen-
gers. President Grant, wife, and family were in
special car at the end ofthe train together with
his distinguished friends; all escaping injury.
but being much frightened. Secretary Bout
well was also on the train. The same train
rem over another COW near the Relay House, but
no injury was done except the killing of the
animal Many of the passengers and wounded
arrived in Baltimore at six this morning and are
still here. The injury was mostly from jarring
and severe conclusion.
Further Particulars by Associated Press.
Mr.. c. w. Wells, of Albany n " was some-
what injured, but was able to keep on his Jour-
ney home. Mr.. Evans, of Alexandria, was
brought here and carried to his home in Alex
andria, badly injured. The train also brought
on here this morning one man from George
town. slightly injured; one colored woman
with her head badly cut; and three colored men,
bruised Mr.. G. w. Clapp of this city, received
Il scalp wound
Mr. r. Piggott internal revenue officer of
New York, was slightly wounded in the head.
II. A. Hail. of Washington, received Il slight
scalp wound, and Mrs. Esmer of Washington,
a wound on the shoulder.
AS soon as the accident occurred much solici-
tude was felt to the safety of the Presidential
party, and some of the passengers proceeded to
the rear car, where they found the President
placidly smoking on the platform car, not aware
of the extent of the disaster.
Mr.. McCann, brakesman on the road, had
his left leg broken. The darkness of the night
added to the horror of the situation, as it pre-
vented the uninjured passengers from seeing the
full extent of the disaster, and left it to the ina
gination to picture while the cries and groans of
the wounded were frightful to hear. The cut at
the point where the accident occurred is about
twenty feet deep.
