SIX PERSONS KILLED And woUxDKD
The Cumberland Md newspapers give de-
tails Of the terrible railroad accident which oc-
cured Sunday morning on the seventeen mile
grade Of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, about
miles west OF Cumberland. The DAILY News
says; A convoy" Of trains OF cars, loaded
with stock, grain, cotton, tobacco and miscella-

AZ the rate OF nfty miles an hour. The engineer
pleN NJ wnlsue Tor brakes but the speed OF the
train vss not slsckened. In another Instant
he heard the engineer OF the train ahead OF his
blowing for brakes, denoting that his train. TOO.
Was running too fast. Knowing that the forward
train would decrease In speed or stop Altogether.
Engineer Conway saw that = terrible collision
was inevitable, and calling 20 his fireman 20
follow him, he clsmbered over the tender on 70
the cars and ran toward the rear OF the train.
The fireman, whose name we have been unable
To learn, threw himself on his face on the "run-
bing board" on top the car ne II the locomotive,
and eraoed himself for the coming crash, en-
treating the engineer 20 follow his example.
conway, however, paid no attention 70 his re-
monsuances, but ran till he reached the
middle OF the train, where he attempted 20 put
on bIfke. AT this moment the locomotive
struck the forward tram, crashing with terrific
force through twelve or fourteen oars aad throU-
ing the remainder Of the train OF the track.
The cars in the rear rain piled up on one an
other and ran of the track, injuring some OF
them considerably. The track for halt a mile

contents. Several cattle were killed, while
corn, cotton and tobacco were strewn all over

Elliot we're instantly killed, brakeman Conery
had his leg broken and received other iniurles
and Conductor Burke and MIR. Reynolds each
received severe cuts and bruises. Ii Il reported
that the reason why MIR. Conway's signal for

authorities convened court martial for the
purpose OF executing justice on the murderer,
but with the result stated above. The Judge
Advocate General recommends that Congress

SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINST THE LATTER
Gov. Davis, Of Texas, has just arrived in the
city from Boston, New York, and Philadelph
where he went to negotiate Texas bonds, and is
stopping at the Ebbitt House. 1t is understood
t6at his mission was not altogether successful.
lie was at the Post Office department for some
time to-day, and had long Interview with act
ing Postmaster General Marshall 1t is under
stood that he still intends to make war to the
knife against Senator Flanagan and General
Clarke, postmaster at Galveston, and that he
charges both of these gentlemen with selling
federal patronage in Texas for money. 1t is
further understood that he has lod ged formal
charges of this character against Clarke at the
treasury department, and that the latter will
De called upon to meet them. Cen. Clarke has
been In the city for several weeksin consultation
with the Post Office authorities in reference TO
the affairs of the Galveston post Office. 1t
seems that he had the Office reitted at an ag-
gregate expense of some $1,000 or Sc, OOO and
that be now calls upon the department to foot
the bill This the Postmaster General has thus
far refused to do, on the ground that the ex-
penditures by Clarke were wholly unauthoriz ed
by the supervising architect of the Treasury,
under whose direction they should have been
made. Should the serious charges against
Clarke be sustained by proof, he viii doubtless
lose his office; but he asserts their falsity and
his desire for full investigation.

IMPORTANT PATENT CAsE.-Fourteen years
ago Marcus P. Norton received a patent for a
combined pOstmarking stamp and canceller
intended for the use of postmasters. This
stamp, which has been in use by the postmas-
tiers OF all the larger Offices ever since its in
vention, imprints the name of the Office in
which the letter is deposited upon the envelope
on the left side of the postage stamp, and at
the same time cancels the latter. A few years
since the House of Representatives passed a
bill giving Norton $500, 900, but the Senate
committee to which it was referred refused to
give so large sum, but were willing to report
in favor of $4,000 This amount Norton re-
fused to receive, and subsequently Congress
authorized the Postmaster General to fix the
compensation for the use of the stamp, but tn At
officer was enjoined from paying any money to
Norton on the ground that he had assigned his
right in the invention to other parties. As the
patent expires in about eight days, Norton has
made application for an extension, and the case
was ar gutd before the board of appeals of the
Patent Office this afternoon. Decision re-
served.
