The railroad corporations all over
the country are wheeling into the re-
duction-pay line. This time it is the
employees of the Northern Central and
Baltimore ard Potomac railways who
are unhappy owe the existing state of
affairs. 1t looks bad both ways-for
the companies thus reducing, as though
they were growing poorer instead of
richer, and for the men employed. On
married men especially, it is hard, for
it seems t US that the prices are suf-
aeiently low enough already that are
paid for labor of a very wearing na-
ture. But reduction is the rallying
cry, and by and by, If we keep on re-
ducing, we shall all be living on q bean
a day and a glass of water, and then
the Millennium.

THE LOST STEAMER.
.ar,iculars Given by the Passengers.


San Francisco, June Capt. Wad-
dell and Purse L Jerome, of the steamer
City of San Francisco, Moses H.. Sar-
gent, of Boston, and Kingsland Sutton,
of New York, passengers arrived by
the train to-day from San Diego. The
evening papers publish interviews. Civ
ing further particulars of the disaster.
The Captain and Purser are unwilling
to make any statements until the for
mer has submitted his report to the
agents of the company. The officers
avoid giving theories concerning the
rock on which the ship struck. The
Mexican gunboat officers knew nothing
of it. In Il few minutes after strik-
ing the boats were cleared away with
out confusion. and the passengers seat
ed in them ready for lowering. Full
steam was put on and the ship run an
til she grounded, about four miles from
shore. The boats were instantly low
cred and pulled for the beach. On
landing the boats only, m escaped up
setting. The surf was rolling twelve
or fifteen feet high, and when it struck
the boats it came with such force that
the occupants were hurled ten or fifteen
feet. Babies We're thrown from the
arms of their mothers, even the gar.
ments and jewelry of men and women
were wrenched from them by the
I'VE
When the first boat touched the
shore, those in it threw out n rope, and
ranged themselves in line to help the
next, and this system of rendering as.
sistance was followed until every SOU
was safe on land. One baby was res.
cued just before life vas extinct, and il
took some time to restore vitality. One
of the ladies was caught under a boat
and held there for some time, but a:
the next swell of the sea raised the
craft, she managed to escape. There
was no time for delicate handling, and
the men, knowing that the safety Of
lives depended upon prompt and vigor'
GUS action, handled children as they
would SO many bags Of sand. In at
tempting to launch a boat to return tc
the wreck, the assistant engineer had
his leg broken.

Terrible Railroad Accident.

Scranton, June 2.-The Republican
this morning has the following par
t%iculars of the wrecking of the train
last night on the Lehigh Valley Rail-
road: The first intimation the engineer
had of the accident was the violent
rocking of the train. A minute later
the first Of the passenger cars mounted
the forward truck, on which it rested
and vas precipitated down the embank-
ment n distance of fifteen feet, together
with three other coaches, all laden with
passengers. The coupling broke, leav-
ing the engine and one baggage car in
safety on the track. The painful
scene which followed battles descrip-
ton. a wall of anguish rent the air
as the passengers dragged themselves
from the debris of the wreck. Four
cars were smashed in pieces, and many
passengers We're pinned down in most
eXcruciating positions. Mr.. Hover,
of Scranton, and Mrs. Hickey, of To-
wanda, were killed, and seventeen 9TH
ers severely injured, four of them fatal
ly. Most of the injured are said to be-
long to Towanda and vicinity. A mir
aculou5 escape was that of Mrs.
Cool, of West Pittston, who, together
with her three children, were among
the passengers, and passed through the
wreck with only n few slight scratches.
The work of caring for the wounded
wa q trying and painful one, owing to
the distance they had to be removed.
Assistance was rendered as promptly
as possible, and everything was done
that could be accomplished to assuage
the pain of the sufferers.

War Notes.

London, June 2.-The Russian re-
ports of the capture of Arabian are
more believable than the Turkish. No
movements Of note are expected on the
Danube until after the interview be-
tween the Car and Francis Joseph.
A number of war correspondents left
here for Constantinople to-day, ex-
pecting an important battle in Asia
Vigorous efforts are expected to Sc
cure TrebiZonde and ErZeroum. The
latter point commands the caravan
route to the head of the Persian gulf
and gives Russia the way to Scande-
Don bay OIL Iskenderum on the Medi-
terranean. .......
Constantinople, June 2.-The lecap-
ture of Arabian is not regarded here
as so certain, as the various kilograms
received regarding it have not emanated
from Turkish military commands.
Constantinople, June 2.-More Sof-
tas have been arrested and sent to their
native places, to prevent disturbances
in the capital.
Two thousand laborers have been elm
ployed at work upon Stimbone fOrtih-
cations.
Fazlyl Pasha reports from Sukum
khal, under date of May Goth, that
four battalions of troops defeated the
Russians posted between Sukum Khal
and Kutoris, capturing eight mounted

Peace Through the Powers

Vienna, June 27.-The official
Ubendpost of Vienna publishes intelli-
gence from st. Petersburg, that the
Russian ambassadors ut London, vi
emma and Berlin, who recently arrived
at st. Petersburg, were called thither
by Prince Gortschakoff, to consult on
the best means to accelerate the CON
clusion of the peace, with the co-opera-
tion of the powers.
London, June 2.-The London Times
says to-day: The first great Russian
victory may prompt some of the neutral
powers to suggest proposals of peace.
If other states should move, we must
move too, for the sake of those general
interests which include the interests of
England. We should do all in our
power to be ready with some proposal,
lest we be taken unawares.

The Postofice Department Ignored.

Washington, June 2.-The Postofice
Department has sent a special agent to
Louisiana, regarding two novel cases.
1t appears that n colored man named
Samuel CriSman was commissioned
last January rs postmaster of Clinton,
East Feliciana parish, worth about
$1,000 a year. Under date of New Or
leans, May Is, he wrote to the Post
master General, stating. that, on ac-
count of the unsettled condition of
affairs, he made no attempt to occupy
the office until May 10Th, and that
while in the act sf taking possession he
was confronted by Charles McVery,
Democratic judge, and Il. B. Lymer,
member of the legislature, who told
him, so far as they were concerned,
they were willing he should take the
Office, as he vas born and raised among
them, but he had made himself verv
obnoxious to the white people of the
parish by upholding Packard's thieving
government before the senate commit
tee, and as far as they were able they
would protect him, but added, s'there
is no law that will protect you from
the mob in case you attempt to take
the office" lie therefore asks the
Postmaster General what course he
shalt pursue.
The other case is that of Il colored
man named Durlo, who was appointed
Postmaster ut st. Francisville, West
F~eliciana, last December, and who re.
ports not only that he is afraid of his
life, if he attempts to take possession
of his office, but also that he has not
yet received his commission, although
the department, at different times, sent
three to him, addressed to st. Francis
vile postofice. All three have been
returned by the postmaster, whom he
is to supplant, marked mot called
for.D
In both of these cases the represent
tations are made to the department by
citizens, whose good standing is en-
dorsed by Congressman Ellis. to the
effect that the new appointees are, by
reason Of illiteracy, etc, unfit for the
position. The department will give
the cases a thorough investigation, but
not while its authority is set mt defiance
and possession is forcibly refused to
holders of its commissions. \ special
agent is therefore directed TO first in
stall the new a%ppointee in their offices
and afterwards report.

THE San Francisco Bulletin has pub
lished an open letter from Senator Sar-
gent relating to alleged libels on him,
that were recently printed in the
Chronicle, published in the same city.
Every statement therein rejecting on
the Senator's integrity he pronounces
as utterly false in every particular.
This is very strong language for the
honorable gentleman to make use of,
bnt undoubtedly he would not make
use of such unless he was capable OF
proving his case. The senator an
LOUNGES his intention of continuing to
prefer charges against that journal,

ties in the state, as 500 as convened.
