Collision on the European & N. A.
Railroad.
ENGINES AND CARS sMAsHED-NO
LIVES LOST.

BANGOR, Oct. ia serious collision occur
red this morning on the European and North
American Railway near Basin Mills, a few
miles above this city. The Mattawamkeag
freight train of twenty odd cars, due here at
11.3O a. M, was detained and unable to make
up time. 1t was ordered to come along and
pass the II. As mixed train from here at Veazie
The superintendent says he verbally ordered
the conductor of the mixed train to wait for
freight on Veazie siding. The conductor denies
any knowledge of such order and drove along
on his regular time. The two trains came to
gether at full speed this side of Basin Mills,
smashing both engines to splinters, making
kindling wood of seven or eight freight cars
and more or less smashing many more. The
passenger cars on the rear of the up train were
well filled, but the freight cars in front took
most of the shock, and the former were not
thrown from the track or the inmates injured.
The engineers and firemen jumped after re-
versing their engines and none were seriously
injured. NEe REfr
The escape from frightful loss Of life was
almost miraculous A WIRE ckng train was at
once sent from this city to clear the track. The
loss is not yet estimated but is quite heavy.

THE growth of Chicago since the fire of
1871 is quite as astonishing as at any time
previous to the confagration. In 1871 her
population was 29S,977, at present in round
numbers it is half million. In 1871 she
received 83,51S, POP bushels Of grain; in 1878
$685. ALB bushels. In 1871 there were
packed S71,2SO hogs; in 1873, 1,6So,0S4.
Business and population have increased to
wonderful extent, and the city really begins
to look upon the fire as blessing-if we
may judge by the fact that she gave her
school children holiday in order that they
might properly celebrate its anniversary.

SpINNER's SUMMING UP ON BACK PAY-The
facts embodied in the following statement of it
comes to US from Treasurer Spinner, and can
be relied upon as correct: The retroactive law
of Congress increased the annual pay of mem
bers $2500 for two years-less the mileage and
stationery account. Seven Democrats and 10
Republicans of the Senate returned the amount
or permitted it to lapse into the United States
treasury. Fourteen Democrats and Sc Repub-
licans Of the House of Representatives did the
same thing. Senators representing 10 states
returned nothing of their back pay, and MEM
bers of the House representing 20 states re-
turned nothing of their back pay OF the
members of the House from Massachusetts,
only one returned back pay. New Hampshire
aud Missouri also each had one member who
returned back pay. Three of the II members
from Indiana returned back pay. Four of the
10 Ohio members returned back pay. Ten Of
the 81 members from New York returned back
pay. Two of the "a Pennsylvania members
returned back pay, and five of the IA Illinois
members. There were few others-including
one member from Massachusetts, dstrib-
uted the amount for educational and other pur-
poses. Of the "a Senators, 26 returned their
back pay Of the 252 members and delegates
of the House, ouly 30 returned back pay, or
about one-third of the Senate and one-ffth of
the House. No state in the Southwest or South,
except Maryland, returned anything. Burling-

THOSE adventurous treasure-seekers who
set out to make their fortunes in the Black
Hills, have come back with no gold and very
little hair. They make eager inquiries for
first class wig-makers and clothiers, but are
very reticent as to quartz-gold, hard pan,
and such like things. Close inquiry has,
however, brought out the confession that the
scalps of the gold hunters are hanging in the
wlgwams of the Sioux, and their pick-axes
rusting in the guches of the Black Hills.

THE action of Prussia in the S chleswig dis
pute is said to be dictated by desire to COM
pei the naturalization of Denmark. Bis
marck must be well aware that Russia would
never consent to the absorption of Denmark
or its incorporation into the German empire;
and his object in provoking dispute is not
probably desire to force the car into war.
The seizure of Dupel and Alsen was made
however, in order to alarm that power and
to induce it TO demand the naturalization, as
a measure Of selfprotection, of the Jutland
peninsula. In case of future wars Prussia
will then have nothing to fear from Denmark,
and will not be compelled to weaken often
sive operations by posting an army of OBJ
servation on the Danish frontier

GRANT AND THE THIRD TkRM--A special to
the Boston Traveller says: "The prominence
which the third term question has assumed,
especially since the late elections, is not ig-
nored here in administration circles, and is
more than likely now to receive prompt atten-
ton and earnest consideration upon the return
of Preaident Grant.
A member of the Cabinet, now in the city,
has expressed himself very clearly to your cor
respondent, and from what he says there can
be 60 longer any doubt but that the President
will be urged to Immediately make public the
sentiments which it is said he all along has
freely expressed in private conversation to his
official and personal friends. 1
There is no use in trying to misconstrue the
popular will as indicated by the elections last
TUESDAY," said this member of the Cabinet,
''for if 1t means anything. it is that the people
of this country do not intend to have third
term President, if they can help themselves
and the sooner we recognize this state of facts,
the better will it be for the administration and
the Republican party, and the stronger will
they become,
The views thus briefly expressed are shared
by many of the closest and warmest support
ers of the administration, and the current has
set so strong in this direction that it is cOnfid-
emily believed that President Grant will eff
fectually silence all further agitation of this
question by an authoritative statement or let
ter soon after his return from the West.

Current Notes.

The Portland PRESS sounds the alarm to
its people. Strong inducements it says, are
being offered to proprietors of the steamship
lines which Portlanders have heretofore re-
garded as their own, to leave them entirely,
as they already have partially, and to make
Boston their terminus. Such change of
the ocean steamship lines would of necessity
carry with it a change of the terminus Of the
Grand Trunk Railway from Portland to this
city, leaving Portland way station on the
line, and we are selfish enough to hope that
it will speedily be made.-Bost0n Globe.
