A Railway Train on the Denver and
Rio Grandc Railroad Capsized by
The wind Three Times.

Colorado Springs Letter Jan y, to the Me-
dina tO.l Gazette
undertook to 90 down TO Pueblo.
When about five miles out the whole train
was capsized, except the engine, includ-
ing the coaches, the baggage and mail
cars and the tender. No one was hurt.
The Conductor got the passengers in the
rear cnsch, and as many rs possible on
the side next the wind. When we got
down the valley, where the wind had
fair, broadside sweep at us, we again
tipped over. The conductor WAS stand
ing beside me, white as u sheet, and
wanted to know what was best to do.
/ advised him to stop before crossing
n bridge which was just ahead, the long
est one on the road; if we didn't blow
over, we would probably jump the
track. for the wheels were grinding on
the side of the rail, as if we were turning
a sharp curve. He pulled the bell rope,
the engineer put on the steam brakes, and
Just as We stopped over We went, piling
men. women, children, baggage. cushions,
and everything together. For moment
there was quite Scrambling and rafting
of glass. About all the damage done
was the breaking of the windows on the
under side of the cars. The conductor
and | walked back to meet the freight
train which was following. 1t took us
back to the Springs, where we waited till
the wind moderated, then took coach
down and brought the passengers back.
Some of them were among those who had
been showed in ten days on the Kansas
Pacific road. They thought being blown
off the track was not so monstrous as
living in a snow drift.

The Old AsfOr House.

Speaking OF the A>tor House New
York, which has been dismantled and all
its furniture and fixtures sold at auction,
the New York Tribune says:
1t is hardly too much to say that this
old hostelry has more of history and as
sociation about it than all the other tav-
crns Of the city put together. From the
dav when Mr.. Astor built it as an up
town hotel TO within a few years, it Was
the favorite resort of politicians and busi-
ness men from every part OF the country.
1t was the especial resort of those historic
Wing leaders who have now been gone 50
long that everybody agrees to admire
them. The Jove-like Webster gave his
Olympian dinners there, and his notes of
hand 10 pay for them, careless OF man
kind" Clay and Davy Crockett have
been guests in the granite palace, and up
to recent day Thurlow Weed has re-
tanned room on the parlor floor, where
victories have often been organized and
conventions disposed of before they were
called. II those walls had anguage-but
of course it is much better that they
should not have. If they had, they
would lose all their character for truth
and veracity, and the world would be To
better for il.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial.
CHARLESTON, February 12.-The
Democratic caucus was broken up to.
night after sitting three hours. 1t was
not able to harmonic sufficiently to bal
lot, to say nothing OF inability to agree
upon candidate. Many bitter and
funny speeches were made, and the session
was nothing but prolonged effort ut
tilibustering by opponents Of Walker,
who were fearful that hewould be nomi-
mated tonight if the balloting were al
lowed to proceed. Many members left
in disgust. The policy of Walkers op-
ponents is to break up the caucus and
take to the open Legislature where
Walker is weaker than in caucus. There
were several votes for Walker in the
