burning or otherwise, bonds of he new Uni.

found It necessary to request the publication

STILL ANOTHER TERRIBLE DIsAsTER--We
have accounts Of another shocking railroad
disaster, occurring on the ESie road, on the
18th at place called by the varied name of
Mast Hope, and Mt Hope by which some
ten or a dozen, more or less, human beings
were killed, either outright, or slowly roasted
to death.
The fault of the disaster Is attributed to the
engineer OF freight train, who started out be-
fore the express train passed him for which he
should have waited. The engine of the freight
had not reached the main track when II was
struck by the locomotive Of the express train,
which was running at the rate Of forty. miles
an hour. The engine of the freight train was
standing on frog so firmly fixed that It was
not misplaced. The engine of the express
train struck the station house, to which It set
fire, and then turned around and went off the
track. The express car went down the hill
toward the river. The first passenger car tcle.
scoped into the baggage car. The whole train
was burned except the three rear sleeping cars.
Only dozen pieces of baggage were saved.
The freight engine stood locked into a passrn-
ger car. After vain effort to put out the
flames with water carried from the river, the
passengers moved the freight cars, many Of
which were loaded with oil.
At halfpast one o'clock on the morning OF
the 9th there were some of the injured
passengers suffering terribly from their injn-
ries, and some were past all pain. AT six nine
bodies were counted. Some distressing scenes
of suffering occurred, and there were some re-
markablc escapes The engineer of the ex-
press train stood bravely at his post, and turn
ed over several times with his engine, but for
tunately escaped injury. Rev. b. B. Haleck,
of N. Y. City, told his brother.in-law he was
not hurt at all, but was wedged in. His fel-
low.passcngers used every effort to save him,
but he died a slow agonizing death by fire, In
the presence of sympathizing friends who were
unable to help him. A young man said his
father was burned. When the ruins of the
smoking car were removed he recognized the
remains of his father by his watch and some
coins. . .A .
A German lost his wife and three children.
He escaped without injury.
The through mail and registered letters for
Cleveland were destroyed The. way mail
was saved The scene Of the catastrophe is in
Pike county. Penn, about seven miles west OF
Cars Rock, and about ten rods from the Del

PooR YoUNG MEN AND CORNELL UNI.
vRRslTY.-Reoent accounts from this uni
versity demonstrate the admirable work
ings Of the plans for providing work for
the students who wish to pay their own
way. They receive tuition for nothing,
but are expected to board and clothe
themselves, and, in order that they may
do this, every facility is afforded them to
perform manual labor and honestly earn
that support. A large number of the
best students in the university are now
paying their way at various trades and
occupations. One who builds fires and
sweeps rooms is carrying on four courses
of study at once, and has taken the first
prize in science and in German. A stu
dent from Pennsylvania makes an aver

and live ON their earnings. Others, not
so skilled in labor, take to the ruder tasks
of building roads and causeways, pick

food and raiment. New buildings will

AsaumptiOn Of Power.

Secretary Fish, the telegraph informs Us, has
undertaken 10 give permission to the French
Atlantic Telegraph Company to land theirc
BILE on the coast Of Massachusetts,. II this re-
port is true, the honorable Secretary has been
guilty Of usurpation Of power The privil-
ege which Mr.. Fish has attempted to give
away to foreign corporation is one within the
exclusive Jurisdiction Of Congress, and he has
no more right TO assume control over 1t than
any other citizen. His action Is not only iin-
authorized but as a matter of fact, Congress
was asked to do the very thing he is said to
have done, and distinctly refused to do It, For
years the English Telegraph Company has
been striving 10 get permission TO extend
wire from the cable between Ireland and New
foundland into the French dominions, but has
been persisteiitly refused.

PARLiAMENT.-Th course of the Eng
lish House Of Commons in rejecting the
amendments of the Peers to the Irish
Church Bill by mdorities rs large as
those given on the original passage Of
the bill, shows that Mr.. Gladstone is
ready to join issue with the hereditary
branch Of the Legislature, and determine
which is the stronger with the British
people. There can be but little doubt
Of the ultimate result of this trial. The
Lords win probably have to yield, either
with or without dissolution of Parlia-
ment and new Cabinet. Their prestige
is gone, and their power is rapidly wan
ing. The ability Of the Peers TO hold in
check measure on which the Commons
had set their heart has been seriously
diminished by tho reform bills and other
MEASURES over which they have in times
past been pitted, and more especially by
Mr. Disraeli's Reform bill Of last year.
The struggle ON the Irish Church ques.
ton shows that the functions OF the
Peers, even as revisory body, are no
longer respected by the Commona This
ancient and once powerful House must
