BRISTOW'S CHANCES FOR THE REPUBLI-
! CAN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATION IN
CREAsING. ,s
I .a Especial telegram to the DIspatch.l
WAsHNeToN, D. c., March IT, Bristow's
chances for the Republican presidential nom
nation are undoubtedly increasing. Some
of his friends assert that he is not helping
himself any by remaining reticent on the
topic of his aspirations in that direction,
but others intimate that this very cause
WILL SECURE HIS NOMINATION..
1t is undeDiable that prominent Repu blicaus
are beginning to entertain the idea that he
will be placed on the track as reform can,
didate.
! 1t is expected that
MARSH WILL BE BERE ON MONDAY,
in which event the prosecution of Belknap,
both by the high court Of impeachment and
the criminal court Of this District, will pro-
coed without further delay.
The debate which sprung up in the House
yesterday on the subject of
VENTILATION
is attracting attention every Where. All feel
that there must be some remedy applied to
the growing evil. The siek7lst of members
Of Congress is increasing every day, and the
case is becoming desperate. The African
colony that inhabts the gallery in the winter
season will be forced to seek another abiding
place.
MoRToN's FUTURE PROSPECTS, ETC.
Morton's friends are somewhat anxious
about his future prospects, but they have
friends, and are working like beavers in bis
favor. They will 60 into the Convention
with no concealment of his claims as the
regular red.hot bloody.shirt candidate.
The Irish societies made brilliant display
to-day, the procession being about half a
mile long. They were reviewed by the
/ President and Cabinet. TIMoN

Train Thrown from the Track.


Last sunday morning The express. on
the Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad, near
Wcaverton, three miles below Harper's
Ferry, the engine and FIVE ears were
thrown from the track into the Chesa.
pealsc & Ohio Canal. The facts are thus
stated: just as the train as approach.
ing Weayerton, a convoy of freight train
was passing by on the North track. tue
forward train being at a Station taking
water. The rear train with full head
OF steam ran into it, causing o number
OF cars TO he thro-n across tic South
track, and while the coal hoppers were
being piled, one upon another, and be-
fore warning could be given the APP
preaching passenger train. it rushed a.
long. crushing into the wrecked cars,
tearing up the track, throwing the en-
CINE, postal, baggage, and three coaches
full OF human beings over into the canal.
The engineer. Mr. j. shipley was killed
Instantly, and Mr.. Reynolds. the fireman
very badly hurt, but miraculous to re.
late not a single passenger in the wreck
ed coaches was seriously hurt, although
many were considerably bruised and
thoroughly soaked before they were ex-
tricatcd from their perilOus situation
Never before in the history of the road
was there greater smash up, with so
little loss OF life. Tic blame for the
catastrophe seems TO rest solely upon the
conductor Of the collidng freight train.
The only thing that saved the lives of
tho passengers wa1 the piling OF the
coaches upon the baggage and postal
cars, thus Keeping them out OF the water.
The accident delayed all trains for six
or eight hours"
The Baltimore Sua of Monday gives
Il full list Of the casualties. 1t is us FOL,
lows:
Joshua o. Shipley, engineer Of the
passenger train, aged 50, killed. His
body was taken TO baltimore.
