On Friday evening last, a jamestown
and Franklin oil train on the E. & P.
Railroad, under charge of Conductor j.
s. Throne, took fire while in motion,
Just above jamestown, and before the
flames could be stayed, six cars were
entirely consumed. The fire was caus-
ed by a spark from the engine lighting
on an oil tub on the first car, and it had
gained considerable Roadway before it
was discovered. The conductor and
crew at once set the brakes, and drew
the engineers attention by sailing the
engine, w~hereupon it was cut loose from
the train. The crew at onc went to
work to run the hind cars back by hand,
and succeeded, by almost super-human
efforts, in removing the caboose and
twelve cars, thereby saving largely the
property Of the company. The track
was greatly damaged by the fire, and
the trains delayed some tune, it being
necessary to transfer the passengers on
the evening express. The first train to
pass over the road was at four o'clock
the following morning.

BRIsToLvILLE, O., August q, 1871.
EDITOR CHRONICLE The event Of
interest in our little village, this week
was the ordination of Rev. JOHN HENRY
JONES, pastor of the Congregational
church of this place and Bloomfield.
By invitation, President Hitchcock, OF
the Western Reserve College, at Hud-
son, Rev. n. D. King, Of Gustavus,
Rev. ]. B. Davidson, of Hartford, Rev
Luther Paige, Of Pennington, Rev. II.
Madison, of Nelson, Rev. Samuel Man
ming, Of Garfield, Rev. Daniel Davis, Of
Youngstown, Rev. NJ. Hobert Of John
ston, Rev. T. c. Edwards, Of Mineral
Ridge, were present. Rev. II. D. King
was appointed chairman. The examina-
ton was highly creditable to Mr.. Jones.
and the exercises unusually interesting.
President Hitchcock preached the or
dination sermon. 1t was a very able
discourse, and pronounced by the large
congregation assembled as very instruc-
tive and appropriate to the occasion.
Mr.. Jones is a thorough theological
scholar and an untiring student, and I
must congratulate the two churches in
their good fortune in calling him to
occupy their pulpits.
The concert given by the COngrega-
tional Sunday school, Monday evening
last, conducted by Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
Maltby, Il would say Professor Maltby
was not the term, so cheap nowadays,)
was very creditable to the young ladies
and gentlemen, and listened to with a.
great deal Of interest by the older peo-
pie. This Sur day school is under many
obligations to Mr.. and Mrs. Maltby, for
their untiring energy for the past ten
years in conducting the singing.
The Bristol Cornet Band deserve spe-
cial mention, now numbering twelve
pieces, I believe, with Mr.. Frank Ham
mond as leader. They are playing some
very fine pieces, and deserve a we'll
filed purse from the citizens, to enable
them to purchase new instruments and
repair their band wagon. Walk up,
gentlemen, and give them a benefit.
As Mr.. Hemon B. Harmon and his
family were crossing Grand river bridge,
in Pennington, near Ira Hyde's, one
span gave way, preeipitating them into
the river. It was almost a miracle that
all escaped with their lives. They were
all more or less bruised. The damage
was q broken wagon, harness BADLY cut
to extricate the horses, &c. Mr.. II. will
present his bill Of damage to the County
Commissioners. I understand a fine
iron bridge, with stone abutments, will
be built at once
To-day we are having a fine rain,
which will do the late potatoes, corn and
pastures a great deal Of good.

Helmbold, the Buchu man, attempted
a "new departure" on Monday Of last
week, at Long Branch, n. ]. he Dor
rowed a double barreled shot gun, and
gota colored man to drive him out a
short distance, saying he wanted to shoot
birds. On the way he placed the muz-
zIes under his chin, and reached down
and pulled the trigger of one barrel
The load passed up one side of his face,
only slightly scratching him. He
tumbled over, considerably shocked,
and was taken to a Dr's Office, when his
injuries were discovered to be trifling.-
We saw him a few hours after the acci-
dent looking as if nothing had happened.
1t is said the DIR. has gone up the spout
financially, and that this untoward cir
cumstance has about driven him to des-
poration. He will probably retire to an
asylum for treatment. The DR.. has al
ways been on honorable andEbersl bust
ness man, and it is pity that he was
not wise enough TO 'let well enough
alone" In regard to the attempted sui
eide, the DR.. claims it was all accident.

The Rothschild family is about to

The firm was established at Frank
fort in 1771. 10y Meyer Ansiem. Be-
ing left an orphan, he obtained en-
plOyment in a bank at Hanover, and

which he founded his own establish
ment. In 1901 he was appointed
agent for the Elector Of Hesse, whose
fortune he saved at the risk of his
own, when the French army entered
the State. For that service the EN-
peror Of Austria gave titles Of nobility
to all the members OF the family,
with the motto, to which they have
always remained faithful, Concordia,
Industrial, Integritas.n The founder
of the dynasty left ten children, Of
whom the youngest was the late
Baron James, of Paris.

EUine,s Financial Policy.

The following extract from General
Ewing's late speech at Columbus, fur
nishes his own statement as to the
character of the financial policy he
desires to see adopted:
From the whole system Of finance,
past, present, and to come, adopted
and proposed by the Republican par
ty, the Democracy of Ohio announce
a new departure-one which will re-
lieve the people of much of their bur-
den of taxes leave no heritage Of
debt to Cypress and enslave chill
dren (; and so establish and regulate
the currency as to greatly reduce in
terest, and thus distribute the net in
crease ofwealth fairly between labro
and all forms of capital. They pro-
pose that the General Government
shall furnish all the money of the peO-
pie, in an issue which shall be a legal
tender equally with coin for all pub
lie and private debts whatsoever, ex-
cept where the contract expressly
calls for specie, and with it redeem
the fve-tWenty bonds; and, to pre-
vent an undue expansion of the cur
reney, issue a three per cent. bond,
which shall be e~xchaneable at par for
Iegal-tenders at any time, and into
which le~gal-tenders may, at the OPP
ton of the holders, at any time, be
converted.
The plan as above expressed, in
wolves the destruction of all National
Bank ejaculation, followed by a fear
full expansion, and an inevitable re-
turn to all the multiplied evils and
generalization of an inflated curren-
cy, inconvertable except into three
percent bonds, and irredeemable.
That this policy would again bring
the country into that whirl of reckless
speculation which cursed. the country
during the war, there can be no
doubt and would finally involve all
classes in hopeless bankruptcy. Yet
to this ruin would the leaders of De-
mocracy in Ohio bring the people.

GREENE, O., Aug q. 1871.
EDITOR CHRoNICLR.-I observe in
your issue of the sd of this month, that
my nameis made use ofin making up the
County Committee at the Prohibition
Convention held at Bloomsbury. This
was done wholly without my knowledge
or consent. Twas meyer consulted, with
regard to the matter and never expressed
any sympathy with the movement. For
while I am earnest in my devotion TO the
temperance cause, I I'M more than
doubtful Of the propriety of separate po-
hIical organization. The mischief is less
apparent in counties strongly Republic
can but where the elections are closely
contested and the Republican element
weakened by the organization Of a third
Party, the result is, the temperance in
terests are left hopelessly in the hands
Of q remorseless Whiskey Ring.

Terrible Railroad slaughter.

Two frightfnl railroad accidents oc-
CURED last Saturday night, causing q
great loss Of human life and q sickening
mangling of bodies. One happened at
Reserve, seven miles from Boston, on
the Eastern railroad, The accommoda-
ton train started behind time, and while
stopping at the station at Reserve, the
Portland lightning express overlook it
and telescoped it, killing twenty-one
passengers outright, among whom were
three women, and wounding some forty
or fifty more, The cars took fire and
two or three were consumed. Most Of
the wounded were Ecalded and had their
limbs fractured. The work of rescuing
the victims at once commenced, assist
ance being soon furnished from Chelsea,
Chsrlestown, and at a later hour from
Boston, including surgeons and physi-
clans. The Frost Hose Company, just
returned from an excursion to Provi-
dence, were promptly on the ground
having seen the fire burning. Dozens
of the poor creatures were damned with
the wood and iron work and could not
get out. An axe was applied vigorously
and Don rope was applied to the sides
ofthe car and all the remaining frame
work was pulled Ssunder. The dead
and mangled bodies weretaken out care
fully and speedily placed on the platform
or in the depot. Some had arms and
legs broken, while others were msngled
beyond recognition. Many, in fact the
majority, Of the dead, were apparently
free from bruises, but the pealing of the
skin and the deadly pallor which over
spread the face and flesh told plainly
that the steam and scalding water had
been the frightful and effective agent of
death.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
Collision number two occurred on Sat-
urday morning with q passenger and q
freight train on the Philadelphia and
Erie railroad, on the middle division,
near Westport station. Six persons
we're killed and alarge number wound
ed. The passenger train was about an
hour late in leaving WiIliamsport and
was running about thirty-hve miles an
hour and the freight about eighteen.
The trains meeting on a sharp curve,
were not visible to each other till within
a few yards. The baggage car telescop-
ed with the smoking car, all but a few
feet. The passengers in the two cars in
the reAr were uninjured. An official
investigation shows that the accident
was caused by the neglect Of the conduc-
tor and engineer on the mail train to
obey orders given them not TO pass
Westport, until the freight train had ar
rived there. Acopy Of the order was
found in the pocket ofthe engineer, who
was believed to be fatally injured, but
later intelligence reports him to be i'm
proving, though still unable to converse.
