Business PreceptS.

We find it stated that the founder of the great banking house of Rothschilds made the following rules the guide of a business career culminatihg in magnif- cent success:
 1. Combination of three profits. "I made the manufacturer my customer, and the one I bought of, my customer; that is, I supplied the manufactures with raw materials and dyes, on each of which I made profit, and took his manufactured goods, which sold at a profit, and thus combined three profits. ''
 2. Make bargain at once. Be an off fhanded man.
 3. Never have anything to do with an unlucky man or place. "I have seen many clever men who have not shoes to their feet. I never act with them. Their advice seems very we'll, but fate is against them they cannot get on them selves, how can they do good to mel"
 4. Be cautious and bold. "It re- quires 8 great deal of boldness and a great deal of caution to make great fortune, and when you have got it it re- quires ten times as much to keep it."

A THRILLING ACCIDENT.
A Runaway Coal Train DashinG Down the Mountain Side Over an Inclined Plane Shocking Fate of a Workman.

Runaway Coal Train DashinG Down the
 Mountain Side Over nm Inclined Plane
 Shocking Fate of R Workman.
 The widest and most improbable of Jules Verne's "Scientific Romances " contains nothing more thrilling than an accident that occurred at Dunmore, one of the suburbs of Scranton, Pa., and the great shipping center of the Penn sylvania Coal Company. The coal trains are hoisted up series of steep planes over the undulating mountains that in- tervene between Scranton and Hawley, by finely regulated and admirably equipped system of machinery, and where gentle slopes and long "levels l" occur are sped onward by gravitation, under control of an experienced corps of brakemen.
 A runaway train down one of those sharply sloping places is 8 rare occur renee, every precaution possible being taken to avert such an accident. Yet, occasionally, there is runaway, and it's headlong flight is something terrific. The train of which I speak, says cor respondent writing of the affair, consist ed of four cars laden with coal. They were drawn up the plane by stout wire rope, and were preceded by 8 small truck known Rs the "balance car." Just as they had reached within few feet of the headhouse the fastening gave way, a moments pause and the coal train commenced its wild career down the mountain side, striking terror into the hearts of the workingmen at the engine house as they saw it speed away. Down, down it dashed with a rush like whirlwind, gaining in momentum as it went until it neared the front of the plane.
 A workman named Durkin, who was engaged pushing car along branch track at the foot, immediately in the way of the runaway, saw it approach him and was paralyzed with awe. It was yet several yards distant, and he made desperate effort to escape. But with velocity almost as great as that of a cannon ball 1t struck him and the car by which he was standing, sweeping both distance of two hundred yards until Durkin and the car collided with a large coal train lying on the level. The scene that ensued baffies description. The crash WAS followed by thick cloud of coal, pieces of wood and iron, and in the midst of the destructive tumult poor Durkin was torn to pieces. The men who saw him when he was struck looked for him after the force of the shock had been spent, and were mortified to find him cut up into fragments, the largest of which weighed no more than pound. The strength of the shock may be im- agined when I state that heavy car wheels were flung as high as the car shops fuilV a heipht of twenty feet in the air. The accident, which is the first fatal mishap that has ever occurred on No. 6 plane, is described by those who witnessed it as being wildly grand when the rushing train descended, like thunderbolt, down the steep track. The plane is constructed on Q grade of one to every three feet. Durkin was over sixty years of age, and had been in the employ of the Pennsylvania Goal Com pany for twenty years.

'Fhe Russian Loan.

The success of the new popular loan in Russia has been such as to give the czar full assurance that, in case of emergency, he can raise large amount of money from his own subjects before going abroad to borrow. The Russian czar has been so long in the habit of re- sorting to the money markets of western Europe when the funds were required that most people had supposed ho would be helpless in case these were closed against him. But, during the last twenty years, and especially since the emancipation of the serfs, the financial resources, as well as the military power, of the Russian empire have undergone great development; and we have no no doubt that, as the czar has raised his hundred million rubles at once in two of his cities, he could raise ten times as much on short notice in his empire at large. The success of the present loan must give the Russians a new sense of financial independenCe

would have escaped had not the flooring given way beneath her. All the clothing was burned of, and the features were so blaskened that she was nrecognizable, and the body wss re- moved to the morgue, where 1t awaits identiA cation. Further investigation showed that the loss of life had been terrible. The stairs leading to the dress circle caught fire, cutting of the escape of those above the parquette door. Scores eroped wildly in sn agony that was soon ended by suffocation or death by fire, and all efforts to save the dying men and wo- men were fruitless. Blinding flame and stifiing smoke barred the fremer, and built up around tne victims in the theater an impenetr able wall of death. It was not until the flames had burned out that the stupendous nature of the calamity revealed itself. When the smoke had cleared away corpses were revealed on every hand. Men, women and children, separate and in groups, barred the way at every step. Some had been more meroifuly strAngled with smoke, while others had perished by consum- ing fire, and the magnitude of the terrible dis aster increased ss the work of sealching pro- gressed.
 The stato Senate and Republican House of South Carolina, in joint session, met and canvassed the vote for governor and lieu tenant-governor. The counties of Edge6eld and Laurens were thrown out, when the Demo- cratic Senators retired from the hall When the returns were canvassed, Lieutenant Gov ernor Gleaves and Speaker Mackey declared Chamberlain elected by s,OA4 votes majority. They then adjourned. Hampton addressed several thousand persons, counseling the ut most quiet, and saying the whole campaign was one of peace, aud the people must trust him for few days longer and then victory would be assured. He said he was legally elected by 75,000 white and II, GOO oolored voters, and he intended to be governor ....., The returning board of Louisiana has returned as elected all of the Hayes electors, giving the lowest Hayes eleotor over the highest Tlden eleotor more than three thousand majority. The following are the figures: Lowest Hayes elector, 74,0.3 highest Tilden elector, 70. 568; highest Hayes elector, 75. 1855. They declare the entire Republican State ticket elected by $500 and Republican majority in the Legis- lature. The secretary of State personally served notice on the electors that they were elected. In Cincinnati all the poo-rooms have declared the election bets on President of. .... The Presidents message disappointed everybody. It was expected that the message would be devoted almost entirely to the Presi- dential complication, but it is not. The Brooklyn Theater was burpe d during the per fornaanoe of play.

JUDGE BLACK ON COUNTING ELEC-
roRAL VoTE.-Judge Black doesn't de-
spair Of the republic yet, notwithstand-
ing all that has happened and is threaten
ed. In written opinion, marked by
even more than his usual vigor and acu
men, he scouts the idea that the people
have no legal and peaceablc remedy
against the conspirators who have under
taken to count in Hayes. He finds the
remedy in the constitutional power Of
the House, acting by and for itself, to
scrltlnze papers purporting to be the
votes, and to reject any that may be
proved to be fraudulent. The power eX-
lists. he says, whether the twenty-sccond
Joint rule is still in force or not, and it is
ample for the purpose. \ fraudulent
electoral certificate, no matter how al
tested, is nullity, a piece of blank paper
and to be treated as such. Examining
the law under which the Louisiana re-
turning board acted, Judge Black finds
their procedure as Illegal as it vas shame
less. He is Of the opinion that an in-
dlctment for forgery would hold, and is
clear that the House must throw out thc
bogus votes. The power to choose a
President when there has been no con-
atitutonal election by the people ncces-
salily implies and includcs the power to
ascertain whether there has or has not
been such election. This the House
must do for itself. If it decides that
there has been no election. and proceeds
to choose President, the Senate cannot
interfere. II the Senate decides that Mr.
Wheeler has been elected Vice-President
and accepts him as such, the House can
not interfere. The claim that the pre-
siding officer of the Senate has tho
power to count the votes as well as opel
them Judge Black charactcrizes as shee
impudencc.

SEARCH FOR THE VICTIMS AT BRooKLYS's II
BURNED THEATRE BEING CONTINUED.
NEW YORK, December 8.-There was u
marked decrease in the excitement in the
neighborhood of the Brooklyn Theatre
to-day, a number of persons male and
female, loitcrcd in the neighborhood OF
the theatre, but the mass of sight-seers
had departed. The police still remain on
duty at the theatre, but have little to do
except to prevent inqusitive persons
from trespassing upon the premises,-
About thirty five men are at work on the
ruins. They heve not yet succeeded in
uncovering the dress circle, and il is
therefore still uncertain how many, if any
of the spectators in il pcrished.
The work of the searchers will be Wig
Orously prospecuted until the ruins have
been thoroughly explored. If many
more bodies are discovered, it is probable
that they will be found all altogether.
According to the coroner's record the
total number now recovered is 293, while
by the police report it is 249. But, not
wlthstanding these varying reports the
precise total of the killed by the Brook
lyn Theatre fire will probably never be
known, owing to the fact that dismem-
bered limbs of many We're scattered in
the process of digging in the ruins. Many
bodies have to be speedily inferred to
prevent the progress of pufrefaction.
