Texas, and Simont0n has NJ last con-

CORsICANA, October 1.-The accom-

six O'Clock this morning, wrecking
the entire train, except the baggage
car and passenger coach. Fourteen

over which had been burned by an In.
cendiary during the night. John Nc.

80 badly hurt that he died in an hour

his leg and foot badly mashed. The

tanned about six hours, and had to
transfer passengers. Work will be
commenced at once on the bridge, and
will be ready for crossing by to.mor-
row. The engine jumped across the
bridge, which was small one,
and the box cars, fourteen
in all went through, piling one on top
Of the other, and took fire from the
burning bridge. The entire train and
all the freight was burned. The loss
of cars, freight and bridge can not be
less than thirty or forty thousand dol
lars. The engine was also badly
wrecked, aud the boiler bursted.
The passenger train bound north
was delayed, and was about two hours
behind time. II II had been on time
it would have went through instead Of
the accommodation, and the loss Of
lie would have been fearful, AZ the
train WAS crowded.

Sorry for Dallas.

Dallas Is beginning to realize the
fact that she cannot long hold the title
of queen city OF Northwest Texas unless
she bestirs herself, Fl. Worth has
taken from her an extensive wagon
trade, and Sherman Is threatening TO
be q large railroad centre much TO her
very serious detriment. We are sorry
for Dallas, but unless she wakes up
and goes to work she will get left; for
people who are devoid of enterprise
cannot build up permanent town.

Fire..

Yesterday morning about 8 o'clock a
spark from passing engine alighted
on fiat car, near the Central depot,
loaded with nearly forty bales of cot
ton, aud a speedy blaze called forth
the alarm notes of the fire bells. Fire
men and people hurried to the
spot In vast numbers, as 1t was
shouted that the compress was on
fire. East Dallas got in It's work, and
was soon followed by the other com.
panies. The car had been pushed
across the bridge near the compress.
1t was reached with difficulty, but the
fire was finally extingulsbed. The
damage to the cotton is estimated al
nearly or quite $1,000.

1T is authoritatively stated that dis.
patches have been received from the
United States Ministers TO- England
and Germany announcing the deter.
mination of those Governments to
withhold their moral: support from
the proposition to interfere in the
Cuban question. They believe Spain
ought to have T. chance to dispose Of
the Carlist unpleasantnesbefore being
pushed to the wall on account of Gu.
ba.
But special from Berlin says this
report that Germany has declined to
make any representation to Spain in
regard to Cuba is incorrect. The
German Government has not answer
ed the communication of the United
States, which did not require or in
vite an answer, but there is every
reason to believe that Germany is
not unwilling to impress upon Spain
the justice Of American complaints
and the advisability of making some
redress.

AN int eresting editorial article is
published in the London Times re.
specting the manner in which the su.
perior energy and resources of Amer
lea have, within the past ten years,
wrought a revolution in the grain
supply of Europe, and the embar-
rassment and alarm which prevail
in Russia in consequence of the fact
that the corn-producing regions have
been distanced in the great competi.
tive race with . United States.
The Times shows that. whereas nine
years ago A per cent Of the grain
exported to England came from Rus
STA and only IA per cent from
America, now A per cent comes from
America aud but 81 per cent from
Russia. To this state of things is.
partly attributed tho great monetary
crisis at Moscow, the continuous de-
probation Of the paper currency, and
the excessive distress in Southern
Russia.

THE FOREIGN GRAIN MARxEIs.

The Mark Lane Ezpres., in its
weekly review Of the grain markets
for the past week.. says the weather
has been muggy and unfavorable to
trade. Prices generally have declin-
ed about a shilling per quarter in
consequence Of the deteriorated con-
dition Of the grain. Home deliver
les are still short compared with last
year. Business has been heavy and
imports rather less, and will probably
continue to diminish until prices i'm.
prove. At Paris -four declined a

rather improved, while in Belgium
and Holland they are dull and I'M
changed.

JEFF: Davis has written q letter
which fully justi6es Mr.. Blaine in
the decided position he has taken in
opposition to granting amnesty to
the ex-President of the defunct Con-
5federaoy. The letter proves nothing
except that its author is at heart as
much Of q traitor as he ever was.
He says he has mo view Of the flu
ture which makes it desirable for me
(him) to be included in an amnesty
bill" He denies that there were any
cruelties to the Union prisoners at An
dersonville, and says that if there were
he was not responslble for them ; that
his r.heartedness and generosity
toward these captive soldiers brought
down upon his head the indignation
Of the Southern people. He follows
the rebel general Hill in charging
that the treatment Of Confederate
prisoners by the United States gov
eminent outdid in atrocity the dark
est horrors laid at the doors of An
dsrsonville's prison.pens. His an
athemas are leveled chiefly at the head
Of Mr.. Blaine, but while that gentle
man and Gen. Garfield sustained
their positions with the strongest
proofs, he produces nothing beyond
assertions, and he leaves himself in
a worse condition than he was before.
The following extract from the let.
ter will give a correct idea as to its
general spirit:
Under the mellowing influences of time
and occasional demonstrations at the North
of desire for the restoratation of peace
and good will, the Southern people have
forgotten much, have forgiven much Of
wounds they bore. If it be less 20 among
their invaders, it is but another example Of
the rule that the wrongdoer is less able to
forgive than he who has suffered causeless
wrong.
We look in vain for any evidence
Of Reconstruction here. The words
even are the same as were heard dur
ing the progress Of the rebellion
that the soldiers who were fighting
to preserve the Union were ''invaders"
and "wrongdoers," and that the peo-
pie in arms against the Government
were those who "sufered causeless
wrong" Ifthese were but the words
and sentiments of JEFF: Davis they
would be Of slight importance, but
there is too much evidence to force
the belief that they are still the SEN
timents Of majority of the white
people Of the Southern States. What
these people have forgotten is the
ready generosity and leniency of the
government which restored to them
rights which they had forfeited and
what they have forgiven" is the
wickedness and folly of their own lead
ers who drew them into the war Of
the rebellion.
