N. J. A passenger express train Tor New
York was allowed to collide with freight
train, mashing one man into jelly and
wounding seven other persons. Travel on all
our railroad lines is becoming enormous at
this early beginning of an unusually active
season, and, If the switches on the tracks
cannot be kept in better order than these use
less casualties would indicate them to be, they
ought to be laid in another shape, over the
shoulders of the managers and directors who
neglect their duty-for every switch, rod of

THE HERALD CORPS OF EUROPEAN WAR
CORRESPONDENTS.

We have special correspondents moving
with each division of the opposing forces Of
France aGd Prussia, and news agencies in the
principal capitals--London, Paris, Berlin. Ma
drid, Vienna and Florence-so that nothing
of an important news character escapes our
vigilant representatives.
Our news agencies in the principal cities of
Europe, and our system Of travelling corre-
spondents, have been long established, fact
the readers of the HERALD have no doubt long
since become familiar with, and as our letters
from all parts of the Eastern Hemisphere for
years past have fully proven.
We do not pretend that our comments upon
the war; or that our opinions upon the proba-
BILE success of either beligerent in contem-
plated movements come by the cable. Our
only aim is to give to the public the fullest,
the most reliable, and the most authentic
record of facts as they occur in the grand
operations Of the contending armies.

RUM AND GUNPowDER. The homicide at
the bathing establishment is one more illus
tration of the consequences Of the conjunc-
ton Of two such dangerous agencies as fire.
arms and firewater. Our hot-blooded citi-
zens of Irish nativity will of course quarrel
and fight and all the more of a Saturday
night, when whiskey is accessible; and this
would pass off with some headaches or
cracked crowns if they could restrict them
selves to the national shillelah. But here
comes the difficulty with their little rows as
they appear in our city. Here it is the re-
volver that figures, not the shillelah, and the
revolver or musket is more dangerous than
the blackthOrn.

M. Theirs has accepted the position to whiclr

member of the Paris Committee of Defence.
Aitnough seventy-two years of age, the bril-

oen1 OF the Council and Minister of Foreign

which he has always taken In contemnorarv

tests all the vigor and vivacity which used to
distinguish him as an orator and statesman
His advice is eagerly sought by the generals
in command at Paris. He daily visits the fou.
tiications, which he may be said to have Gre
ated, inasmuch as it was during his ministry
that he secured credit of one hundred million
francs for their construction, profting by the
universal exaltation of patriotic sentiment
throughout France in 1S40 when dread Of

The immense experience of NJ. Theirs, his
vast erudition, his great common sense, his
extraordinary aptitude for the management Of

the head of the Paris Committee of Defence.
Moreover, this committee is liable at any mo

intellect and his eminent qualities as man of
action, would be far more competent to be at

away both the empire and the hopes of the

RAILROAD SLAUGHTERING has recommended

switch tender and the lack of proper switch
lights were the cause of the Cincinnati express
train running off the track yesterday morning
and smashing cars at Greenbush, near Albany.
Two persons killed outright and several badly
injured were the penalty Of this wicked negli-
gence, and the Coroner's jury have had deci-
sion enough to censure both the company and
the employe. The punishment should not and,
we are assured, will not stop there. No
person addicted to intoxicating drinks should
be employed in any responsible position where
human life is dependent upon his vigilance.
If every tipsy subordinate were made to cost
railroad and steamboat companies the price of
charter, they would employ only sober, steady
and reliable men. Yesterday also brought
another quite similar accident near Trenton,

THE NATHAN MURDER does not rest 80
quietly in the dust Of jumbled testimony after
all. The detectives are ''tumbling" to the
man they think, to use their peculiar vocabu-
larry. Bloody shirts have more than once
turned out to be the banner of crime, and one
of these on the back of professional burglar
has been the means of bringing him into the
Harlem Police Court under suspicion Of the
awful crime that so recently curdled the
pulses of every human being in the metropolis
not interested in obtaining the reward. The
capture and execution of the criminal in that
case is necessary for the credit of American
civilization

THE AMERICANS AT PARIS, from their prompt
and generous assistance to the French
wounded, appear to be in high favor with the
citizens and authorities OF that capital; while
at Berlin they are decidedly in high favor, and
the nresence of General Sheridan with King
William at the front makes the very name Of
American popular with the Prussian army.
Americans, in short, whether they happen to
be in Germany or in France, appear to know
how to adapt themselves to the situation, With

Central American Disorders.

For some months past disorders of one kind
or other have been going on close by the
boundary line of Mexico on the Guatema-
liam side. At one time these troubles were
nothing more than the raids of desperadoes ON
unprotected families. These lawless proceed
ings resulted in plunder, sometimes accompa-
MED by murder; on other occasions more for
midable movements were contemplated, one OF
these being nothing short of the invasion of the
forming new republic, to be composed Of
Mexican and Guatemalian States. The idea
Of ich a movement proving successful seems
pteposterous at first sight, but when we reflect
on the condition of both Mexico and Guate-
mala the undertaking does not appear so
difficult. Both these republics, torn as
they are with internal dissensions, dis
tracted by internecIne quarrels, weakened
by the treachery of unprincipled leaders, dis
trustful of the soldiers composing their armies.
at all times stand easy prey of ambitious
and unprincipled men. And as if domestic
troubles were not enough, these States have
courted troubles from outside. Mexico at the
present time shows no friendly disposition to
this country. The tone of the Mexican press
is loud in its hostility to the United States. In
Guatemala similar state of things exists. The
relations between Guatemala and Costa Rica
are, to say the least, decidedly unfriendly.
This state of feeling has been brought about
by the conduct Of Guatemala. The treaties Of
peace, friendship and commerce which existed
between the two republics since lS48 no longer
continue. 1t is extremely painful to be COM
PEELED month after month to chronicle nothing
better for these countries than revolution, rob-
berry, murder and all the attendant evils
resulting from disordered society iu ill-gov-
erned States. No Improvement may be hoped
for at present in many of the Central American
republics. Revolution follows revolution 80
rapidly that we almost begin to think that the
inhabitants of these countries could not live
without the excitement resulting from murder,
revolution and robbery.

since the meeting Of friends IN bis own

;--HataGorda county, Texas, has recent
II been the field Of q remarkable opera

past there has been an Organized band Of
outlaws ipfeSting the country about Tres

even for Texas These scoundrelS dehed

with death any one who might interfere
with their villainous work. For the bet.
ter carrying out Of their purposes they
had erected o large pen In aSecluded spot
where they herded and slaughtered tile
cattle Of others. The hides OF the cattle
were sent to Indianola and there disposed
Of, and although they were frequently re.
cognized as coming from the outlaws no
one dared TO take steps against them.
Horses and mules were stolen from dis.
tant counties, and no mans property was
his own in the vicinity Of these plllagers:
But human endurance finally was over
taxed and summary vengeance taken upon
the Villainsy "A large body Of, armed mon
collected near the, outlaws den and cap
tured three leaders Of the band and hung
them in the gate Of their cattle pen. The
scene near this pen; It is said, beggars de-

stripped Of their hides in every stage of
putretactiOn and decay, lay for miles
around, tue silent witnesses Of tho crimes
there committed, an immense Golgotlla,
charnel-house Of stencil and bones and
rottenncss, hecatombs Of victims sacrificed
to the genius Of crime and plumber. lm-
mense bundles Of hides, too, ready for

brand on the range, were discovered, and
scores Of horses and mules with delaced

mated that not less than Ten thousand
