otherwise. The motion Is most popular. John Bull
has had cry raised In his ears that ''POpery''

he Ia, with his old, savage, unreasoning, insular
bis0try, determined to put 1t down. The motion

forty-odd liberal members being determined to vote
with the tories. They have been pushed-obllged
to do this by their constituents even At the cost Of

publication Of Mr.. Dsraeli's book has
been 80 timed that 1t Will fan the fame.

English people, no doubt take very much-and he Is
again attempting to lead his party victory under
OF his book. Whether he will succeed am not pre-
pared TO say but that he and all his party are now
IN great spirits at the coup detat they have worked
out there can be no doubt whatever.

Arrest of the Conductor Of the Freight Train
The Wounded Passengers Recovering.

ST. LOUIS, May Is, 1870.
The evidence before the Coroners jury yesterday
plainly showed that the extra freight train, which
colded with the passenger train at Eureka on Thurs
day, was running outside OF instructions, and had
used from ten to fifteen minutes of the express
time than the special orders had allotted to ii. The
conductor and engineer OF the extra train swore that
they ran precisely according to orders. and
II there was mistake II arose from q
difference In watches. The weight Of evidence
is strongly against them, however, ana the Coroner
ordered the arrest Of William Odor, the conductor,
and he was placed in the calaboose The fact that
Odor and his engineer, Tracy left the spot instantly
after the collision because they assert they feared
personal violence, while the conductor and other
employees O: the passenger train remained and
worked nObiy for the release and relief OF the suf-
ferets. is generally regarded as consciousness OF
having done wrong and strengthens the belief that
they alone were TO blame tor the collision.
The wounded generally are doing well and are re-
eeving the care Of some Of the best surgeons and
physicians In this city, The railroad company are
doing everything possible for their comfort and VIII
recompense them for losses, 80 far as money can do
So without suit or expense The remains Of the
dead have been placed in metallic and viii be
deposited In the cemetery vault subject to the orders
Of their friends. The pecuniary loss by the accident
TO rolling stock is about $4,000. The reported death
OF H. Il. Fleming. the chief engineer Of the Tabo and
Neosho Railway Is incorrect. He was on the train,
but left at Sedalia

minutes OF the express time without danger Of meet
Ing H. II IL said, also, that the freight conductor IN
accepting this extra time, exceeded 1t and used
iorty-1ve minutes, when ne should have used only
thirty, and thus brought his train TO point where
u had no right TO be. He tried to reach Eureka De-
lore the express arrived there and this fatal mistake
was the cause OF the accident Mr. Tracey was the
engineer OF the freight train.
INCIDENTS.
Tne admirable conduct OF Colonel Smizer, living
near the scene, deserves to be mentioned TO his
credit. He heard the whistles OF the approaching
trains before they came In contact aud was warned
OF the disaster which q few moments after
occurred AS soon as the crash took place
he armed himself and his laborers with axes
and repaired to the scene He was the first
one TO arrive, and did not leave till
the last victim was disengaged, distinguishing him
sell no less by the tenderness OF his reatment OF the
wounded than by the unnaggtng spirit with which
ne labored In the wreck.

Mr. E. Q. Johnson, a salesman, and Mr. X. =.

ana child; General Deitzer, OF Lawrence Kansas,
were aboard the traln and escaped without nury as
also did Mayor BartlIng, OF Topeka Kansas; Captain
Lee and Lieutenant Wallace. OF the Tenth cavalry.
The pecuniary loss occasoned by such an accident
as that we have described Is necessarily very heavy,
and In itself might be expected to furnish some
guarantee against its repetition In the loss to run
ming gear damages and sother matter 1t will proba-
bly, cost the company several hundred thousand
dollars, to say nothing Of the injury inflicted IN
other ways.

ciously cooked meats. Broiled meats are
the most sayory and palatable, yet very few
persons have the necessary convehiences for
broiling. Bowers American Broiler," a
new article, however supplies the necessary
apparatus to enable everybody to have their
meats cooked in the very best manner
Having tried one, we speak from expert
ence in this respect, and would advise our
readers to call at ii. T. Bigler & Co.'S hard
ware store and get one. They do their work
most admirably.
