The Accident Near Lovelsnd Last
Nisht-Furiher Particulars.

ClNAlNNATI, August 22.-The train
from the east over the Marietta and
Cincinnati Railroad did not reach Gin
cinnati depot till lao this morning.
Passengers on this train brought in the
main confrmatory accounts OF the COLI
lision near Montgomery station, with
some additional particulars. The Hills
boro and Loveland accommodation, to
which the accident occurred, left Mont
gomery station 9S time The night
train bound from Chillicothe to this
city, in charge of Conductor Puet was
behind time, and il is said his watch
was fifteen minutes slow. And in ad-
dition, it is reported that the engineer,
named Smith, and he had some words
at Loveland, in which the engineer said
he would get him into difficulty before
he got to Cincinnati. At any rate the
the freight started, expecting, it Is said,
to make the switch at Montgomery
station, but failing, the collision
occurring at a shsrp curve, while
the freight was running on the
passenger trains time. The two en-
fines grappled each other, reared up
ward, and stood almost erect, the bag
gage car following. The passenger
coaches remained on the track, but the
shock was terrible to the passengers
none of whom were seriously hurt.
The personal injuries were sustained by
persons on the passenger train. Charles
Rother, fireman, remained on the en-
CINE with his father Ellwood Rother,
the engineer, and was crushed between
the fire box and tender The father
escaped without any apparently serious
bodily injury, but appeared so moved
by the disaster that he came from the
wreck with disordered mind. The
brakeman, Jas. G.. Perrigo, had In rer
sponse to the signal down brakes"
wound up his brake and was
ssistirg the baggage master, Samuel
" Howard, also at the brakes, when
A.. shock came. Both were immedi-
ely crushed to death. Both resided
g. ilillsboro Ohio. Walter Rhodes,
Express messenger OF this city, and
brother Of J. II. Rhodes, OF Adams Ex-
press, received injuries from which he
died just after reaching the Cincinnati
depot this morning, making four deaths
in all. The other injuries received were
inCOnsiderable, but it appears clear that
the men who bravely remained at their
posts and lost their lives, saved the pas-
sengers from q fearful casualty, The
officials of the road acted with prompt
ness. Physicians were taken from the
city, and q determination is apparent on
the part OF the railroad officers TO hold
the conductor and engineer Of the
freight tram responsible before the
Criminal Court.
The coroner's jury in the CAGE OF the
collision on the Marietta and Cincin-
natl Railroad, rendered q verdict that
the accident was caused by the Crimi-
nal negligence of the engineer and
conductor of the freight train.
A young lad, 5 years old, named
Frank Fuller, fell of Gest street trest!e

We copy from the Parkersburg
Times well written article on the
subject Of immigration, all OF which we
can heartily endorse, except the express
sion OF lack of confidence in the present
legislature to render judicious aid to the
scheme. The one great need OF West
Virginia to-day, is immigration, We
have physical advantages that can
satisfy and astonish any reason
able man who cares to examine the nat
ural wealth OF the country. Our
mines of iron and coal are far superior
10 those OF any other State in the
Union and all that is needed 10 make
West Virginia a hive of industry and
wealth is the population necessary to
utilize the natural advantages that are
here presented.
The State legislature may be relied
upon TO do its part in the work OF
inducing immigrants to settle
upon West Virginia soil. What
ever policy is deemed the best
will be eagerly adopted by West Vir-
ginians, and settlers here need feel no
fear Of social ostracism. The same in
fluences that have contributed to swell
the population OF the States Of the
Northwest operate with still greater
force in favor Of West Virginia, and it
seems that all that is needed to turn
the tide OF immigration in this direc-
ton is the proper presentation
of the advantages here enjoyed. This
is being done by all newspaper corres-
pondents who pass through the state;
the wonderful mineral wealth Of West
Virginia is being duly advertised and
the time is not far distant when coal
and iron lands in West Virginia will
be quoted as hign as the most favored
localities in Pennsylvania.

The Campaign I'm Texas.
Private advices from Texas state that
the denomination OF Davis for Govern
or, will rot receive the endorsement Of
the entire Republican party, and will
result in the falling off OF voters, who
will either not vote at all nor cooper
ate with the opposite party. The
Republicans are generally divided into
personal factions. influenced by tie race
for office, and local issues there have
produced great political generalization
in some parts oi the state, and especial
ly where the Republican vote is the
greatest. Davis had the patronage OF
the State in his hands which he en-
ployed, and though be apparently failed
in most OF his plans for a manipulation
OF the Government patronage in Texas,
it is well understood that he gave as
sursnce for the future, sufficient to hold
his supporters together. There is every
prospect that the political campaign in
the Lone Star State will be intensely
lively.
