Mr. Vernon, of the Republican, also contem-

In connection with the suggestion that the

hepubllcan party Of the State has been
governed by the just demand for the last four
years, but the Democratic Ring of Kent and
Sussex have opposed it and their potent oppo.
sition has prevailed in their partisan conyen-
tions.
The tax laws have become very uporular in
New Castle, because, under their operation,
that county is compelled to pay at least two.
thirds of the revenue Of the State. The tax on
manufactures, loan associations funds and rail
road travel within the State has created q
feeling of hostility that crops out on ever,

COLLISION ON THE MD. q DEL. RAILROAD.
1aoo Engines SMASHED Lp.-On Saturday
afternoon last, as the regular train on the
Maryland & Delaware road was going to
Easton, it collided near Halltown with the
locomotive "Gen. TiIghmGn" and both the
''lilghman" and the "Easton," (which was
drawing the regular train were badly wrecked
but fortunately no persons were dangerously in
jured. The '"Tilghman," with Supt. Cald-
WELL engineer Peters, and several laborers on
board, was coming up the road alone, forcing
its way through the heavy snow, to lend assist
tance to the regular train, which was thought
to be snow bound The train however, was
only fifteen minutes behind. The immense
clouds of snow thrown up by the locomotives
obstructed the outlook of the engineers and
they were within twenty feet of each other,
approaching at good speed, when they saw
their danger. They had but time to reverse
and down brakes" when the crash came.
The ''IIghman," having nothing behind it,
was knocked ten or fifteen feet, and the
EastOn' crushed coal car and ITSELF and
damaged freight car or two. Supt. Cald
we'll jumped from the "Tilghman" and
escaped injury, but the men were all
injured to some extent Mr.. Peters,
who told the men to save themselves, stuck to
his post on the Tilghman till the crash came,
and was hurt, but not seriously. The passen-
ger car was not injured at all nor any of the
passengers The damage will amount to
$4,000 or $6,0OO-mUre than enough TO build
