FREDERICK, Nd, Sept. IL, T6.
Ed. JoURNAL:-The Republicans of
Maryland are wide-awake and earnest in
the political campaign, which was mani
tested here yesterday by the largest turn
out ever witnessed in the State, to a pole
raising, and hoisting the banner Of Hayes
& Wheeler. Stirring speeches were made
by Capt. Nail, candidate for seat in Com
gress, Mr.. Miller, p. NJ. OF Frederick and
others, who were interrupted by thunders
of applause.
Last Sunday serious accident occurred
on the B. 4 .. r. II. three miles east of
IIarpers Ferry. A train OF empty Goa
cars going west halted ON n curve, and an
tother train close behind ran into the first,
hrOwing some OF the cars on the other
track, just az the passenger train arrived
from the west. The engine ran into the
cars which threw the whole train, except
the rear sleeper, into the Chesepeak and
| Ohio canal, instantly killing j. o. Shipley
! This is the second OF three brothers (engn-
| eers) who have been killed ON their respec-
| tive engines, with their hands on the throt-
! tie. Fortunately, no others we're danger
ously hurt, although the train was COM
plete wreck.
Sept. l2.-Another fatal accident oc-
CURED last evening 8 miles east of Harp
ers Ferry, by the explosion of n boiler of
an engine hauling a coal train east, in
stantly killing the engineer and fireman,
both having families in Baltimore. The
engineer was thrown fifty yards, and the
engine reduced to perfect wreck.
WAsmINGrON, ID. c., Sept. Is, 1876.
The Prince of Showmen who once said
that the American people could not he sat
isfied without they were humbugged, is TO
be on hand to cater to the faneies of the
good people of this metropolis Friday aud
Saturday of next week. OF course this is
The great Centennial ShOw, requiring three
heavy trains Of cars, and |, 100 employees
to run and manage this king of all shows.
The cars are all made of steel, therefore
fire proof, and belong TO the veritable Bar
mum. The posting car runs in advance with
its flaming bills, andcorps of bill-postersis
truly magnificent palace. It's deliberately
painted exterior far excels any coach
heretofore placed on r. r. track, and at
tracts crowds of both old and young curl
osity seekers.
According to an act Of the so-called
Reform Congress" 765 employees in the
departments here, have recently received
the unwelcOme notice, that their services
| are no longer needed. Oh this number SIC
are marched out of the Treasury depart
ment, thus leaving much business to ac
: cumulate.
? The unfinished walls Of the State, Wal
, and Navy buildings are standing mOnu
: ments of this reform, for want of fund,
duly appropriated. In the expiring hour
of Congress a meager appropriation wa
made aud labor will soon be resumed, an,
= continue while this lasts.
= Pennsylvania Avenue is alive with la
: borers preparing and laying the mucl
/ needed pavement, which has been delaye'
\ too long for the want of necessary appro
!. priations.
e The city is thronged with Centennia
h visitors who are eager to take peep at tn
: Great Capitol and other buildings on thei
0 way to Philadelphia.
Yours, as ever, RAMBLER.
