FAREWELL, FcuLwRArHHR 81

FRreHrFUL RAILROAD AocIDEST-R se zen
Persona Killed and Thirty ;fpe Woxn.ed.- The
collision on the Chicago and Alton railroad on
Saturday night is one Of those heart re nd ering
disasters which, fortunately for humanity Oc.
ours only at long intervals. passenger train
and freight train, the former running at the
rate of thirty miles an hour and the latter at
the rate OF twenty miles an hour, came crashing
together without a warning signal being given,
and unimpeded by any attempt TO reverse the
engines or put down the brakes. When two
trains come together with such tremendous
momentum there can be but one result-a fear
full wreck-in which killing and wounding and
mangling and scalding human beings give hor-
TOR to the scene. Eleven persons were killed
outright, and many more received injuries
which must prove fatal. Among the killed is
John Mitzler, an engineer on the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. The conductor of the freight
train was in fault, and is supposed to have ran
away. There were thirty five wounded. The
train did not take fire, as reported, and all the
passengerskilled or in peril were in the second
class car which was used as q smoking car, aud
with the exception of fremen, engineers, and
trainmen the casualties were all caused by
steam. None of the regular passenger coaches
or sleepers were thrown from the track or in any
way injured. No person in any Of them was
hurt.

We have received the following in regard to
an article in THE STAR of Saturday:


PENNSYLVANIA ROUTE, Ticket AGENTS Office, D
WAsHIEGToN, ID. g., August 10th, 1873 {
FeTcy q. Smih, Esq, Ticket agent.
Dear Sir :-Refering to the article in THE
STAR OF this date desire TO say, that all bag
gage delivered at Baltimore from the north and
west on Wednesday, 18th, Thursday, 18th, and
Friday, 18th, was promptly forwarded the same
Gay OF its arrival to Washington by express. No
baggage was detained at Baltimore more than
SIX hours. The baggage on the trains caught
on the line Of road has been unavodably de-
tanned, because of the difficulty of obtaining the
means Of transporting it to points On the line of
put upon cars for transportation to Washington.
These are the facts, and THE STARS article
is not correct in charging the officers OF the b.
X +. road with neglecting the interests of its
passengers. Very truly,
ED. S. YOUNG, G. p. A
In reference to the above we have only to
say that the baggage belonging to the family of
the writer of this paragraph, which arrived in
Baltimore by the Northern Central road on
Thursday morning, was not delivered in W ash
ington until Friday afternoon. Other baggage
which should have reached here before that
time had not arrived up to Saturday night
possibly from being caught between two breaks
on the road. Perhaps the officers OF the road
did the best they could with the baggage but
passengers could not get the inform alton to
which they we're entitled. In short, THE STARS
article on the subject was substantially correct
in every statement Of facts. What explanation
there may be for the existence of these facts we
have no means OF knowing We have no doubt
however, but the officers of the road labored
under great disadvantages, and did the best
they could under the circumstances. The pre-
vious history Of the road and the energetic and
painstaking character of its officers fully justi-
fy this belief

has addressed a communication 30 the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury asking him to revoke the
order recently issued by Collector Arthur, OF
the Custom House, requiring merchants in per
son to make afidavts OF entries. The letter adds:
1.-THE real motive for the issuance Of the order
was simply the qualification of self oonse-
quence, and to compel personally the attend
anee of merchants in order to humble and still
further hamper them by unnecessary, illegal,
and arbitrary requirements made under color of
law.
LETTER FROM ROME
says the Syndic has posted up notice prohibit
ing all persons under pretence of making pill
grimages, whether singly or in groups, from
passing through the city. 1t is regarded as
favortism not to be encouraged, and as means
used for keeping up the political excitement,
as well as detrimental to the public health. Al

And network Of wires spead out every way,
To tell how the weather is working each day.

How do you account for your great defalcation?
And what is the cause of this deluge of rain?
