A Frightful Railroad Accident.

A terrible railroad collision took place
on the New York Central Road, about
a mile from Rome, n. Y, on Friday
afternoon. The Chicago Express train,
running thirty miles an hour, was turn
ed by misplaced switch upon side
track, and collided with freight train
standing upon that tack. The engines
met head to head, and, as eye-witnesses
describe the sight, seemed to clutch one
another like human wrestlers, when
both rose upon their rear drivers and
overturned; the wrecks of their tenders,
the mail, baggage, and express cars
shooting over them, scattering to the
right and left. Then from both boilers
came a cloud of smoke and steam which
enveloped the ruins. The mail car was
completely demolished, the fragments
of it being scattered all about. A
palace ear had ten feet of its forward end
crushed. The Miller patent couplers
on the palace and ordinary cars pre-
vented their ''telescoping" and I'M
dOuhtedly saved the lives and limbs of
all their occupants. Many of the freight
cars were smashed. OF the four postal
clerks in the mail car, one, chief clerk
Kennard, was instantly killed, and the
others injured.
Engineer Wicks, of the express train,
jumped from his engine, after shutting
off and reversing. He was buried in
the wreck, and is quite severely injured.
The fireman, James Henderson, of AL
bany, is credited with setting the pa
tent brakes on the train, and the pas
sengers believe that he thus saved the
lives of many. He was killed, being
terribly scalded and mangled about the
abdomen. A brakeman, named Dur
gan, was also killed.
Total casualties, three killed and
eight injured. The switchman, named
Carroll, is reported to have exclaimed,
"My God, | have made a mistake" and
then he ran away as rapidly as possible
across the fields and has not been seeu
since

A Daring Robbery.
A TRAIN STOPPED AND TREASURE sTO-
LEN,

A TRAIN STOPPED AND TREASURE STO-
LEN.
The robbery of Union Pacific rail
way train last week of over 500, 200 in
treasure by a band of highwaymen,
proves to have been one of the most
daring exploits of the kind on record.
Ten or Is masked men, selecting
lonely watering station called Big
Springs, away out on the western Ne
braska border, skillfully laid their plans
for the capture of the eastward bound
train which was due at that point near
midnight. Surprising the station-ma
ter, they compelled him to tear up his
telegraph instruments, hang out his red
light to stop the train, and keeping 81
lent and secreted themselves made him
cause the unsuspecting express messen-
ger to open the car door, when the rob
bers pounced upon him with their re-
volvers and rifed the safe. The through
safe, however, the combination of which
was not known upon the train, escaped,
as likewise an immense amount of gov
eminent silver which was in bars, too
heavy to be carried off. Meantime, a
squad of the ruffians had put the en-
gineer and conductor under guard and
put out the fires of the engine, leaving
the train helpless and completely at
the mercy of the robbers. Then the
highwaymen began a raid through the
passenger coaches for wallets and
watches. Menaced by cooked revolvers,
the passengers were made to throw up
their hands, when their pockets were
Systematically picked, one car thus
yielding some $l400, besides many
watches and other jewelry. The thieves
chivalrously omitted to modest the wo-
men, and the funds of two or three
cripples were returned to them. There
were good many amusing sleight-of-
hand performances among the paSSen-
gers, and number of them in this way
saved the bulk of their money. One
miner with belt containing 81 900,
by Il dexterous movement, fastened it
around the waist of his baby, saving
out $40 to satisfy the thieves. Before
the passengers pockets had all been
depleted, however, a freight train came
along, and the highwaymen stole away
into the darkness with their booty. The
train people and passengers were COM
pletely Overawed and submissive. as
there were no arms among them to
speak of with which to make fight.
The railroad authorities promptly offer
ed $1,000 reward for the capture of
the robbers, and several parties are in
hot pursuit on their trail. There is
much speculation us to the identity of
the rascals, but it is plausibly surmised
that they are some of the guerilla
friends of the notorious Younger broth
erS, who are now languishng in the
Minnesota penitentiary for the attempt
ed bank robbery at Northtield. 1t is
thought that John Garnctt, brother
in-law of the Missouri hrigands, head
ed the raid, and that its purpose was
to obtain funds to help in securing the
release of his incarcerated relatives.

Mr.. Moody in Vermont.

The Rutland Herald and Globe pub
fishes full report of the recent con-
ference at Bellows Falls between
Mr.. Moody and representatives of the
churches of various denominations
throughout the State, with regard to
evangelistic work. 1t is now definitely
settled that the method to be adopted
in the present season, instead of labor
in the large cities, will be the holding
meetings in several of the most central
towns in Vermont, with view to
quickening the religious life generally
throughout the State and securing the
active cooperation of the churches.
Different speakers at the conference pre-
scented the claims and needs of St. AL
bans, Bellows Falls, Rutland, Burling-
ton, Middlebury, Montpelier, Benning-
ton, st. Johnsbury, Windsor and Brat
tleboro. After the various representa-
tives had spoken, Mr.. Moody said that
he would begin with the three largest
towns, and make three attacks on the
State, and he didn't see why a blessing
might not be expected if all co0perated
in all the towns. He and his associates
would be ready the first of October.
Mr.. Sankey, Major Whittle, Mr.. Need
ham and possibly Mr.. Morehouse would
come with him to preach in these three
places. The following committee on
Evangelistic work was appointed: Col.
F. Fairbanks (Cong.), st. Johnsbury,
Dea. J. NJ. Haven (COng.), Rutland, Mr..
C. HI. FarnswOrth (Methodist), Mont
pelier, Hon. Samuel Huntington Meth
odist), Burlington, Rev. j. d. Beeman
(Methodist), Springfield, Col. j. j. Esty
(Baptist), Brattleboro, and Guy c.
Noble, Esq, (Baptist), st. Adams. This
committee is to have charge with Mr..
Moody of the work in the State. and
will provide speakers for places where
they are desired, and as the occasion
may require. Mr.. Moody is to begin in
Burlington, Major Whittle in Rutland,
and Mr.. Needham at the third point,
which is as yet undecided, and Mr..

Excursion Trains.
land.

The frequency of these trains-the
multitude that improve the opportunity
to get away from the cares and labOrs
of every day life at small expense,
and ride through the White Mountain
notch. and see that wonderful and mag
nificent scenery, or ride to Lake Cham
plain through the varied scenery on the
Portland & Ogdensbnrg, and by
steamer over the beautiful Lake Cham
plain, or to Newport by the Passumpsic,
and through the beautiful Lake Mem
phremagog into Canada-would seem
to be reason enough why the utmost
care should be taken to make these ex-
cursiOns safe and pleasant, and that
good order and good behavior should
be observed by all. But what is the
truth There has scarcely train left
this place but what there has been
more or less drunkenness and rowdyism
on the trains OF at the stopping places.
Even Sunday school excursions have
not been exceptions. Rowdies have
got on the trains and disturbed and
disguised the company, and sometimes
behaved in manner unfit to be wit
messed 10y the children OF their parents
and teachers. And now the question
would seem to be, what is to be done
Is it not the duty of the railroad compa-
MES to prevent all thisP l think it is
us much as it is the duty of hotel
keeper to keep a respectable house.
There should be on every such train Il
police, or officer of the law, to arrest all
rowdies aud disorderly persons. Until
this is done all respectable people will
shun these places as they would mob
or riot, or any other disreputable place.
1t would seem that there should be
some legislation on this subject, COM
pelling railroad companies to put on
the train such officers to insure the quiet
and good order of such excursions.
Much more might he said, but fearing,
Mr.. Editor, that | am taking up too
much of your space, | refrain from fur
Their remarks. | hope some one else
will take up the subject. w.

Sankey will assist at all these places.
The month of October will be devoted
to the WORK at these points, and further
plans will be made as the season pro-
crosses. The Rutland Herald and Globe,
speaking of the prospects of the work,
says editorially!
1--WE devote weeks of time and series
of meetings, and extreme efforts in
every other direction to increase politi-
cal excitement, to elect favorite can
didate, to spread certain theories OF
government. Why should not the sub
ject which all generations and all races
of men have accepted as of supreme inn
portance, be for time the most promi-
nent theme before all minds ? If the
result was simply to make the church
more true to it's work, its members more
true to their professions and men more
honest, it would be enough; but the
promise is more than this. The gOdli-
ness which is sought to he increased 10y
this energetic campaign is profitable
not only for this life, but for the life
| that is to come"

the models and valuable papers in their
hands, belonging to inventors, to a
IA place of safety. That such prepare
tions were not wholly in vain was tes-
titled by the fact that not less than
three buildings in the vicinity took
fire, and were almost totally consumed.
The loss in the Patent Office can, as
yet only be roughly guessed at, but, be-
sides fifty thousand rejected models,
and over sixty tons of printed specifica-
lions and drawings slowed on the loft,
it is safe to say that not less than seven
ty-five thousand models of patented in
ventions were wholly destroyed, en-
bracing the classes of agricultural ma
chinery, metal working, sewing ma
chimes, weaving and spinning, and land
conveyances. Fortunately the records
and original drawings are saved, though
in somewhat damaged condition.
this minute return from a survey of the
burnt portion of the building, in which
the flames are sufficiently under con-
troll to permit of approach, it is sight
never to be forgotten The vast ma
tional museum which has been, fol
years, the pride of the nation is reduced
to little more than a shapeless heap OF
cinders. But, is it by fate or PrOvi-
dence? The south wing, in which was
preserved the relics of George Wash
ington and Benjamin Franklin is the
only one untouched In the others,
garlands of molten iron and balusters
form funeral wreaths over the genius OF
hundred thousand inventors.
1t is impossible to say more in this
letter. In my next shall endeavor to
furnish you with the details of the fire

A Check-Mate to Savings Banks
Swindles.

Secretary Sherman has an idea wOr-
thy of the full attention and confidence
of the people. Savings banks swindles
have become plenty enough, and some
way to invest the savings of the people
must be devised. He proposes issuing
4-per-cent. loan in small denOmina-
tions, sufficiently so to meet the needs
of the poorer classes.
This will surely meet crying need.
The investment will be absolutely safe,
the interest as compared with savings
bank rates-less taX-fully equal and
the millions that have gone to enrich IA
gang of heartless swindlers,-the saw
ings bank presidents, the past five
wears, would he us safe as the Bank of
England, had this plan been thought of
and matured before.

Massachusetts, Republicans.

The Massachusetts Republicans are
fully in accord with the administration.
They held their state convention last
week and nominated Gov. Rice for re-
election with all the old state ticket.
1t was a large and influential gathering
of about 200 delegates of the most
prominent and intelligent men OF the
state. Senator Hoar presided and in a
long speech committed the party en-
tirely to the policy of the administra-
ton. The resolutions which followed
are of the right tone on national affairs,
fully approving what President Hayes
has done and proposing to stand by
him,

Dedication of the Army and Navy
Monument at Boston.

The dedication of the Army and
Navy monument in Boston, Monday,
was Il grand success. The weather was
favorable and the procession truly i'm
mense. 1t WAS the impression of most
experienced people that it was the
largest body of marching men ever
seen in the streets of Boston. 1t is es-
timated that at least %, 900 soldiers and
citizens were i'll the procession, and
that the parade was witnessed by not
less than 200,0 900 people. The process
sion was three hours in passing Il Civ
en- point. The corner stone was laid
in September, 1871, and the structure
has recently been completed at an ex-
pense of $4,000 this sum not including
the cost of the foundation. From the
foundation to the top of the browning
figure the height is l87 feet and inch
es. The area covered by the founda-
ton. is 3S feet square. Three steps
lead up to the monument, with pedes-
tails projecting from the four corners
for the reception of bronze statues: %
An infantry soldier in the United States
uniform, standing with arms at rest (2)
Il sailor of the United States navy,
standing at ease with right hand resting
on the hit of a cutlass (3) the bust of
History, Il seated figure holding in the
right hand IL stylus, in the left tablet
which rests on the right knee; (4) the
genius of Peace, IL seated figure holding
aloft in the right hand an olive branch.
This statue faces the south, History
faces the north, the soldier faces the
west and the sailor faces the east.
I'm tba aynncal faaaS of tba 70 |,
emblematic wreaths are cut in relief on
the granite. In the panels bronze bas-
reliets are inserted: (D "The Depart
ment for the War;" (2) "The Return
from the War;" (0 "Naval Warfare =
(4) ''The labors of the Sanitary Com
mission"
Above the base is the section known
as the die. On the panel facing the
south is the following inscription:
TO THE MEN OF BOSTON

Four figures are cut from the granite
in altorelievo,-the North, the South,
the East, and the West. At the top OF
the column there is band of stars, and
on this rests the capital, bearing on
each of the four sides, sculptured ca
giles, with wings stretched for flight.
On the capital stands the GROWING fig
ure, the genius of America. The figure
is II feet in height, and is a noble
statue, beautifully executed. Appro-
pirate exercises attended the unwilling
of the monument, among which were
the addresses by Martin Milmore, the
sculptor, Alderman Thompson, and
Mayor Price, and the Grafton by AttOr-
ney-General Devens.

by visitors best from the farm of
Thomas Gabie-perhaps are on his
land.
