THE RAILWAY ACCIDENT BE.
TWEEN WASHINGTONA AND
BALTIMORE.
Full Particulars and List OF Injuries
Tho Presidential party Safe.


BALTIMORE, June 10.
Mr.. King, Vice President of the Bal
tlmore q Ohio Railroad, and William
TOole, First Superintendent of Trans
portation, give the following statement
in regard to the accident to the through
express:
The train from Washington to New
York last night, was proceeding at the
usual speed, when just after passing
the Annapolis Junction, on entering a
cut, the engine struck COW throwing
her from the track against the bank,
the engine and baggage car and
mail car passing safely, when the
COW rolled under the wheels of the
smoking car and forward passen ger
car. The train was stopped about one
hundred yards from where the COW was
struck. The smoking Car was filled
with passengers, and was thrown of
the track and completely wrecked and
crushed. The second passenger car
mounted the smoking car and rested
on it at right angles; this was badly
damaged but not broken up. Tho next
car, chair car, ran on the wreck and
into it a few feet, and was considerably
damaged. The only persons injured
and the number is stated at s. or these
Samuel Weld, German gentleman OF
Atlanta, Ga, was the only person seri-
Ously injured. He Is very badly
bruised about the face and head, and
will probably lose one eye. The
The other seven persons were more or
less bruised and cut.
WASHINGTON, June 10.
Mr.. Weld who was injured, is immi-
grafton Agent of Georgia, and was on
his way TO Europe. He is still at the
junction, 1t not being considered safe
to remove him. c. W. Wells, of Alba
ny, was somewhat injured, but able to
keep on thejourney home. Mr.. Evans
of Alexandria, was brought here and
carried to his home in Alexandria. The
extra train also brought in here this
forenoon one man from Georgetown
slightly injured. One colored woman
had her head badly cut; three colored
men bruised. G. w. Clapp of this city,
received a scalp wound; X. j. Piggot
Internal Revenue officer of New York,
was slightly injured in the head; w. A.
Hall of Washington, received q
slight scalp wound. Mrs. Esmer
of Washington, received a wound in
the shoulder. AS soon as the accident
occurred much soIicitude was felt as to
the safety of the Presidential party and
on some passengers proceeding to the
rear car it is said they found the Presi-
dent placidly standing on the platform
and not aware of the extent OF the dis
aster. Mr.. McCan, brakeman of the
train, had his left leg broken. The
darkness of the night added to the
horror of the situation, as it prevented
the uninjured passengers from seeing
the full extent of the disaster. The
embankment at the point where the
accident occurred is about twenty feet
high,

COMMERCIAL AND FNANCIAL,

From the I,dependent.

A very decided change has taken
place in the market for domestic cot
tons since our last report. Prices are
not much higher, but the general tone
of the market is stronger. and a marked
hardening of what were before merely
nominal rates has been noted through
nearly the entire list of domestic fab
RIGS, Including many kinds of woolens.
The low rates have tempted large pur-
chases, to be held over for the early
Fall trade. These purchases have SO
far reduced the stock in first hands that
the trade for Immediate consumption,
which is still considerable for the sea-
son, will alone keep up prices, unless
some movement in the money market
shall lead to a financial pressure. But
nothing of that kind has been looked
for by our money-lenders and bankers.

METHODIST LAY REPREsENTATIoN.-
An interesting election is being held in
all the Methodist Episcopal Churches
of the United States during the month
of June. HeretofoEe the laity of the
Church have not been permitted to be
members of the General Conference, or
thus to have any part in making their
laws. It is now proposed to admit Il
representation of the layman, and the
question is submitted to n vote of all
the members OF the Church, both male
and female, who are over twenty one
years of age. Should the measure be
adopted, as the votes thus far given
would indicate, it will doubtless add to
the influence and extension OF that
branch OF the Church. The churches in
Chicago, st. Louis, Pittsburgh and
some other places have voted in part,
with a result of about 1400 for to ITO
against.

How Secretary BorIe Got Waxe0.
E,-O1Jl The RrOOEllnA FnOLs

A true little story is told of an occur
renee at the recent "Middies' Ball" at
the Annapolis Naval Academy, which
illustrates very pleasantly Grants hu-
NOR among his friends. The amb bilious
middles, bound to have everything not
only ship shape, but as spick -and span
as possible, had waxed the ball room
floor to preternatural degree of slip
periness. The Secretary Ofthe Navy,
little used to balancing his portly per-
son in the intricate figures OF "the
mazy," was so unfortunate as to lead
off the dance by slipping up, and, AS a
paradoxical consequence, tumbling
down. The terpsichorean measure at
his ohagrin was filled by the good hu-
mored railery of the President, who.
standing near, and observing what
fall was there, my middy-menr defend
ed Borie, and explained that the only
trouble with Borie was his excessive
seamanship. 1.-THE ocean surge is his
(Burie's) native element" said the jo-
cose Executive. "It he had only been
upon the deck of II reeling man -of-war
in a racking storm on the broad Allan
tic, he would never have thought of
falling down. He is unused to the
effeminate Establishments and luxury
OF landsmen. Give Borie his wet sheet
and a flowing sea and he is as good as
any man." 1t Is due to the discomtit-
ted Secretary to mention that he appre-
ciated the force of the joke on himself,
and heartily Joined with the ladies and
gentlemen who laughed at it.

ANCIENT fogies of the Democratic
school have been unusually severe
upon the younger bloods of the party,
as they are found in West Virginia.
The youngsters have grown irate, and
their indignation actually resolved
itself into a convention, the other day,
at Grafton. Complaints OF prescription,
inattention, and general want of defer
ence for the opinions of the youth,
constituted the backbone of the pro-
ceedings. The fathers should beware.
They may drive their sons into the
ranks of the Republicans; and oh, what
calamity! But, seriously speaking,
this action OF the youngsters denotes
thought. Tired of the old proscri ptive
regime which binds them helplessly to
the juggernaut of Democracy, they
strike for liberty. They cannot make
matters worse, and If they take to de-
liberating they are saved, for free ex-
preston of sentiment, even in Demo-
not the "breaking away'' period be
