FEARFUL ACCIDENT ON THE 1lIIRD
DIVISION OF TIE B. IS 0. RAILRoAD--
On last Saturday night, two trains de-
scending the II mile grade between
Deer Park and Piedmont, had a rear
collision. The first train was running
at the rate of Is miles, and the rear
train at the fearful speed OF 50 miles an
hour when the collision occurred. The
engine telescoped l6 box cars, wrecking
the train generally. Mr.. Lutte. Conway,
the engineer, formerly of this place, was
instantly killed, and also two cattle
drovcrs. who were in the caboose, and
six train-men badly injured. The en-
CINE was of the Mogul pattern, ,and such
was the speed attained, that the brakes
would not hold when the descent OF the
Grade was commenced. 1t is said that
the wrecked cars covered the track for
over mile in length.-Nartinsbu'g

Ex-Gov. HENRY A. WIsE.-The
Washington correspondent of the Rich
mond Enquirer says: : The Republicans
have been rejoicing fol- some weeks over
what they deemed a favorable omen,
which they claimed to find in the alleg
ed fact that Ex-Governor III. A. Wise
has put himself squarely on record in
support of Grants administration. The
basis to this claim is letter written to
an old personal friend, who is now in
this city, in which, after stating he had
publicly announced he would not accept
a nomination for Governor from either
the Conservative or the Republican Con
vention, he goes on to say;
"If either prefers my platform or prln
ciples they can so declare, but it would
be consistent with neither my principles
nor their policy to nominate me at all if
they desire my election and prefer my
platform. TO accept a nomination 10y
the Conservative Convention would
make me its candidate and array against
me the Republicans, and vice versa, to
accept nomination by the Republican
Convention would make me its candi-
date and array against me the Conser-
vatives.
"My aim is to extract the best person
mel from both organizations; to make
peace between the colored and the Cau-
cassian races among us; to bring the
administration to strong grounds on
which all pure, patriotic and mdepen-
dent men can stand, as set forth in my
letter; and to support the President IN
promoting the peace and prosperity of
the Southern people and the national
welfare. If either Convention, therefore,
will abstain altogether from nomlna-
ton | will defeat the nominees Of the
other"
The President having been informed
of the contents of the above letter, is
represented as being satisfied that Gen.
Wise is now one of his supporters. 1t
is also claimed that Wise will support IN
the canvass the nominee OF the Republl-
can Convention.

The Illinois farmers are complaining
that under the new railroad law, framed
by and for themselves, the railroads are
charging them higher rates for freight
than before, so that they have been IN

The march of the Russians to khlva
was terrible. We now get reliable ac-
counts from translations from ltusslan
papers. The heat was Intense and un-
intermitting. Night or day there was
no rest. In those regions the termom-
eter at times goes to 12O in the shade,
while the neighboring lIinalayas are
covered with perpetual snow, near
which those who were nearly melted a
short time before can be easily frozen to
death. 1t was from the heat the Rus-
slams suffered Deserts had to De cross
ed.in which men and horses sank ankle
deep in burning sand. Camels even
cave out, and often men had to lead
their horses. Water had to be carried
with each squadron, and more than once
it evaporated so fast that the supply
was scant or gave out entirely. What
was left was, of course, warm and SICK
ening. The army made slow progress
each day. A correspondent of the In
yalide tells the story of one day S march:
"At every step men and horses were
sinking into sand up to their knees,
while clouds of hot sand dust almost
suffocated them. The position OF the
cavalry was becoming desperate; horses
were falling down, and it was with the
greatest difficulty that some OF them
could be raised up again. The exhaus-
ton of the men reached the highest
pitch. Some of them, unable to hold
out any longer, fell down from their
horses to rise no more; those on 1901
could not advance step. AS last re,
source medicine chests were opened,and
tonics were given to strengthen the
fainting men.
1t was more heroic in its endurance
than the march of the English in Abys-
sina, and to find a parallel we must go
to the neighboring kingdom OF India
when Havelock put down the Sepoy re-
bellion.-BaH. Gazette.
