TOMATOES. Tomatoes are now esscntic -
t:ces of diet in every households; and. when
one grow for his own Use, the quality is Of
far more consequence than mere quantity.
We have now for several years noted the
growth of tomatoes on poles. and compared
them with al other ways, and think there y
no question as to their absolute superiority IN
every respect The common field plan OF
leaving them grow as they list, spreading
everywhere over the ground, may be, as truck
growers say it is, the way in which the heavl-
est weight of fit can be had in proportion
to the labor spent: but in this way the fruit Is
more acid than under any other system.

LExIgeroH, Sept. 1.-THE races at
Lexington to day were well attended and
the sport excellent. The time made is
considered slow for this track. It is ac-
counted for however by the depth of dust
which in some places is nearly foot
deep. 5eFzss.
There were two races to day. The
first was mile heat for three year olds,
in which six started.
The third heat between Cottrill's Sauce
box and Buford's Hollywood was finely
contested.
The second race was mile dash in
which there were eight entries. This was
won easily by Cottrill's sorrel horse,
Billy Williamson.

Wounding Six Others.

A Train Dashes into q Picnic Wag
on, killing Three Outright and
WoundinR Six Others.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 10.-A terrible acci.
dent occurred, between nine and ten
o'clock this morning, at the crossing of
the st. Louis and Vincennes railroad and
the Collinsville plank road, two and hall
miles from East st. Louis. A party OF
picnickers, composed of sixteen grown
people and several children, left the city
this morning, in large furniture wagon,
to spend the day in Illinois, and when
crossing the railroad track at the point
named they were struck by an excursion
train going to Highland. Three persons
were killed outright, two mortally sno
four or five severely wounded.
At the point where the accident occur
red there is clear view of the railroad
for mile to the west, and some foul
miles to the east, but it appears that none
of the party saw or heard the approach
ing tram, although the engineer blew the
whistle and rung the bell. This is &C.
counted for by the fact that the vino
was high, and the whole party singing.
The horses were the first to discover the
danger. AS they stepped from the
track they became frightened; one sprang
forward, the other hung back, and be-
tween them the wagon came to halt,
Just at this moment the engine struck.
One horse was torn nearly in pieces anG
the wagon broken to splinters. The
train was stopped, and all possible az
sistance rendered to the wounded. We
hicles were procured and the dead ant
injured brought to the city, and CON
veyed to their homes or taken to the hos
pitfalls.
No blame is attached to the railroad
employees, as everything was done tha
could be to avert the disaster.
Later-Three More Victfms-Mur
derOus Reck1essness. ---
ST.. LOUIS, Sept. 11.-Mrs. PhilomeDs
Flood, one of the picnic party injured OF
the Vandslis Railroad yesterday, died To-
day, and two others are not expected tC
recover. ..... r
The coroner's jury heard testimony
nearly all day and will probably finisl
tomorrow. The evidence today shows
that some of the party in the wagon botl
saw and heard the train, and that tn,
driver feeling certain that he could cros
the track before the train reached the
read, whipped up his team, but they be.
coming frightened came TO halt on tht
track and could not be started again be
fore the train struck them.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-A Paris CORES
pondent of the Pail Mall Gazette of 29th
August says Theirs is reported to have
impaired vast amount of information
to the committee inquiring into the cause
and conduct of the late war. He found
England, he said, desirous of acting with
Russia and when he got to st. Petersburg
he met with the greatest sympathy from
the population; and the Gar, though he
said .he could not declare war, was
most favorsbly inclined towards France.
He was evidently bound in one way or
another to Prussia Every one at St
Petersburg assurad him that the Cabinet
at Berlin would accept reasonable propo-
sails.
Theirs then went to Italy and found the
King most distinctly in favor of France.
He called council of his ministers and
generals, and Theirs said, ''You have
800, 900 men. March 100, 900 on Lyons.
You are covered by Switzerland and the
Alps, and will have nothing to gain
TlCsel by making a diversion in our ia
vor." The King snd his generals were
for adopting this plan, but the Cabinet
refused to give their consent.

De Winapffen's Account of the Fall
Of NapOieon.
NEW YORK, Sept. ia foreign paper
gays Gen. De Wimpffen, who succeeded
Marshal McMahon in command of the
French army on the day it capitulated at
Sedan, is strongly of the opinion that the
army might, by bold and sustained eff
fort have broken through the bonds that
encircled it at Sedan, and gives the fol-
lowing as the text of the famous letter he
addressed 10 the Emperor Napoleon:
"SIRR-Rather than be imprisoned at
Sedan, have decided to force the line
extended before theIEines of Gen. Lebrun
and Gen. Ducrot. Let your Majesty
place yourself in the middle of the
troops. They will hold it en- honor to
open q passage for you
He adds that while he was preparing
for the combat he suddenly discovered
that flag of truce foated over Sedan.
Had the Emperor followed his counsels,
large portions of the army might have
broken through. .te eI
He states that when by the Emperor's
orders he opened negotiations with Prince
Bismarck, the latter demanded as terms
of peace an indemnity of four milliards
and the cession of Alsace and Lorraine.
