A Singular Railroad Accident.

AS passenger train was entering Eagle
Station on the Louisville Shore Line Road,
on the 3Oth ult., a singular accident occur
red. A number of passengers were on the
depot platform waiting for the train. Just
after the locomotive express car had pass
ed the switch at that point the coupling
broke and the remaining cars of tho train
were swept across the platform, moving
down a number of persons The express
car was totally wrecked and caught fire,
but the flames were extinguished.
Among the persons injured were John
MDermott, postmaster at that station,
badly bruised George Roosevelt, several
ribs broken; Joseph jackson, station
agent, leg broken and head and body badly
bruised ; Mr.. Hampton, right foot crushed,
and broken, and otherwise injured. The
two persons last named are not expected
to survive. Richard Reeves the express
messenger, was slightly bruised. But fol
the inclemency of the weather, much
larger number of persons would have been
waiting on the platform.

A Word 10 Country Merchants.

Several articles of which country mer-
chants purchase large quantities, are sold
in barrels at guagc malL. There is no
doubt but what in many instances marks
are changed so that purchasers are made 10
pay for lai ger quantities. than they receive.
In the coal oil trade it is claimed that some
dealers invariably mark up the guage and
consequently can undersell honest dealers.
We know of two instances where barrels
which could only hold Al ga!lOns were in
voiced TO contain so gallons in one case,
and 40t gallons in another. In syrups also
this is done by some houses, and the coun-
try trade should look into this matter care
fully. BY SO doing they will not only save
themselves from loss but will protect hon
est wholesale dealers. 1t will be but little
trouble for country merchants TO guage the
ba rels they receive, which is now too often
neglected, and they will soon learn who is,
and who is not dealing with them honestly.

How monthly Magazine of forty-eight

Only One Term.

The doctrine that no President should
with great favor among the people. With
Office holders now in snug places it is un-
popular, and many politicians sneer at it
rs n new doctrine. That it is not such a
new idea is proven by the fact that it was
one of the planks in the platform of the
Whig's in the campaign against jackson,
and against Van Buren. In the campaign
of 1910 Gen. Harrison, was also pledged to
the one term doctrine. The Wings in the
Campaign of 1874 put this doctrine into
their platform, and in the address of the
convention to the people occurs this SEN
tence
"An Office seeking President, unless his
he one of those rare characters which rise
above personal and panty considerations,
must always exert fatal influence on the
freedom of political opinion and action
among the thousands who hold lucrative
places subject TO his pleasure"
The astute politicians Of the South had
seen this defect in our Constitution, and in
the formation of their constitution had
guarded against a similar trouble by max
a man ineligible to the Presidential chair
aft er the fiist term.
Even II new doctrine We believe it 9
good one, ard think this the time to com
mence putting 1t into operation.

Boston, June 18.-The Colosseum was
somewhat better filled this afternoon. The
performance commenced with the choral,
"Now May the VIII of God be Done"
given by full chorus, organ and orchestra.
One Of the attractions Of tO-day's pro-
gramme was the debut Of Madame Reschka
Leutner. She sang an aria from the Magic
Flute, reaching the highest note heretofore
obtained by any artist in the country. She
was accompanied by the full orchestra. At
the close the whole audience rose and sp-
plauded.
Madame Arabella Goddard was warmly
welcomed on her first appearance in this
country, and played piano solo, The Last
Rose of Summer.
After an intermission, the Grensdier
Guard Band, under the lead of Dan. God
frey, made its appearance, and was reCeiV-
ed with tremendous cheering by the whole
audience, the organ playing the English
anthem. After the applause subsidized E,
Madame Ruderedorf was led to the ros-
trum by Gilmore. The British nstional
anthem was then performed. The final
chorus was accompanied by the Gren-
adler and all the bands and the organ at
full power, while the bells Of the city and
cannon were brought into requisitiOn. The
enthusiasm was immense, and Gilmore re-
signed his baton to Godfrey, who conduct
ed the performance.
On a repetition, in answer to an encore,
Mr.. Godfrey retained the baton and con-
Quoted the Grenadier band through the
Star Spangled Banner with full cannon &C
compartments, causing great outburst OF
applause and cheering for the red coats.
The Anvil Chorus was next performed
with the usual accompaniment and the con-
cert closed by singing Missionary hymns.
There is no question of the perfect success
of the enterprise.

The Geneva Board of Arbitration.
decentralization.

GlreufmtOCuGl9ma
NEW YORK, June 18.-A special from
Geneva says the English are resolute for
an eight months adjournment, and the in
dications are that if this is not granted they
viii withdraw from the Arbitration. This
the Americans will not concede, though a
shorter adjournment might be accepted.
Very little was transacted before the
Board to-day besides the announcement of
Mr.. Davis of The non-recepti6n of instruc-
tions from bis government. There Is some
reason to believe that the main difficulty in
the arbitration has been found and basis
reached upon which it is possible to con-
tinue negotiations. The English agents
received Sunday night long dispatch from
their government aud subsequent to the
meeting long conversation took place be-
teen Sir Rounded Palmer and William NJ.
EVarts.
News has been published here that
Granville had stated in the House of Lords
that the English agents would present the
summary of the English argument before
the Board. But qranVille's subsequent ex-
PLANTATION is not generally known here.
This statement therefore is greatly mysti-
fed on both sides as no summary has been
pICGCLbOdS bAtS L4A9ALoA sASChbo WNAANAADS
how such SUMMARY could be presented
without their knowledge At the meeting
between Palmer and E7arts all this was ex-
planned and distinct understanding had
upon other points of the dispatch. The diff
ferent members are making preparation to
stay for a considerable period.
The general view of the court is against
postponement for eight months. 1t is be-
lieVed that if the President of the United
States was disposed to 60 further in regard
to the supplementary articles, he could con-
vene the Senate IN few weeks, and if he
will not do so, it is regarded as unlikely
that there will be any change in the Ameri-
can position. The members ofthe Court are
evidently giving the whole business the most
serious case, and dealing with the matter
in a manner so that their action may not
in the slightest degree embarrass either
party. If the court should make any sug-
gestions, it is believed it will be something
in the nature Of compromise, but at pres
ent the tribunal merely listens to the state
ments made Oh both sides.
Anything to save the Treaty.
WASHINGTON, June 18.-Our Govern
ment has not objected and does not propose
to object to the postponement Of the arbi-
tration at Geneva desired by Great Bri-
tain, and will do nothing to give the Queen
a pretext for withdrawing from the arDitra-
ton. It is considered within the power Of
the tribunal to grant a pOstp0nement for a
reasonable time or until the Senate again
meets in regular course to act on
such notifications of the amended addi-
tional article to the treaty as may be pro-
posed by Great Britain. No extra session
will be called, but meantime nothing will
| be done on our part to occasion failure OF
! the treaty. No fears are now entertained
in that direction, and there is no inferma-
ton to warrant the conclusion that the eff
forts to adjust differences viii be Intellectual.
