Crazed by a Railway Disaster.
Jackson (Mich.) Patriot.

Colwell, the ex-yardmaster, through
whose Encouragement the great acct
dent resulted, on Friday appeared in the
yard at the junction in state of nervous
excitement, and in hurried and insane
way began to open and close switches, at
the same time yelling to the yardmen
to hasten the trains out of the way as
the express was coming. He finally
seemed to imagine that collision had
occurred, and cried: There they lie
Don't you see those dead women ?"
Officer NJ. H. Rowman was sent for, but
before he arrived Colwcll was taken to
his home.
On the occasion of the recent visit to
this city of n. D. Root, train dispatcher
at Michigan City, with whom Colwell is
acquainted, the latter assured him that
since the terrible disaster he was unable
to get any refreshing sleep. He said the
instant he lost consciousness he could
hear the noise of railroad trains; then
they would burst upon bis sight as they
sped madly towards each other; the sig
nal of whistles for switch and brake
would next startle him. and instantly,
with terrible crash, the locomotives
would strike, when he would awaken in
a tremor of fright.

Another British Defeat.
Cape Town, via st. Vincent, April
S.-A convoy of supplies proceeding
from Derby to Luneberg, escorted by
104 men of the Eightieth regiment,
were attacked at daybreak ON March
18th on the banks of Intombe river, by
900 Zulus, under Usiveli. Owing to
previous alarm the British were under
arms, but were overwhelmed by an
enormously superior force of the enc
my. Capt. Moriarity and 40 men were
killed and 20 are missing. The fate of
the wagon drivers is unknown. Lieut..
Harvard with 40 men succeeded in
reaching Luneberg.
One hundred and ffty men of the
Eighteenth regiment subsequently pro-
ceeded to the scene of the fighting and
recovered quantity of rockets and
ammunition and buried the dead.
Twenty wagons containing supplies
were lost. The relief column for
Ekowe will start March Goth. A party

field of Isandula, and found that the
Zulus had left 100 wagons there, but
they had removed the guns and ammu-
milton.
The convoy from Derby was obliged
to encamp on the banks of the Iptombe
river which was too full to cross.
Lieut.. Harvard and the survivors were
encamped on the Lunebsrg side of the
river. Although there had been some
previous alarm the surprise was CON-
plete. The sentry only saw the Zulus
when within fifteen PAGES of them.
Lieut.. Harward's men poured steady
fire across the river and the Zulus lost
heavily, but were undaunted. Only
fifteen of Capt. Moriairty's men es-
capped across the river. They were all
sleeping in wagons when attacked, and
the sentry was the only one who had
time to fire. The scene of surprise is
a hollow, surrounded by long grass and
weeds. One gun, which the Zulus had
not removed has since been recovered.
The relief column for Ekowe number
5000 men.
Much sickness is reported in Col.
Pearson's command at Ekowe, and pro-
visions are getting very scarce. There
is reason to believe that 10000 Zulus
are posted near Ekowe. A dispatch to
the Times from Durham says the sol
diers reported as missing at the disaster
on the Intombe were probably drowned.
The surprise occurred during a dense
mist. Further fighting on the Intombe
is reported.

Southerners, Deserts.

Washington, April Southern men
are beginning to get their eyes open to
the fact that the negro immigration
schemes ON foot threaten serious injnry
to their section. But they do not
know how to go to work to work to
prevent the negroes from moving west
and north. There is plenty of evidence
here that the movement is fostered by
republican politicians, and that by in
ducing large numbers Of them to leave
the southern states before the next
census is taken, republican managers
hope to affect the representation of
the states in the house of represents
tives in such way as to overthrow the
democratic majority in the house. All
the leading republican managers are
interesting themselves in this business.

The Town Election.

Cincinnati, April S.-Out of twenty
seven towns from which returns have
been received, the republicans have IT,
the democrats Z and the independents
three.
At Dayton the republicans elect the
city ticket, with the exception of JUS
tice and constable; they also have a
majority in the council, which has
heretofore been democratic.
At Springfield very heavy vote was
cast. The mayor elect was candi-
date of combination of prohibition
lists and Murphyites.
At Chillicothe the democrats elect
their mayor by about three hundred
majority.
At GAINESVILLE the republicans gain
five councilmen. The democrats elect
the mayor.
In Cincinnati, with one ward lack
ing, the republicans elect all except a
police Judge, by majorities of from $50
t. 1,1O0. The ward lacking gave re-
publican majority of 15O at the last
municipal election. 1t is generally
conceded on all sides that all local and
personal considerations were lost sight
of, national questions being the matter
Of issue. The vote polled was the larg-
est of any spring election in the city of
Cincinnati.

Reorganization of the Khedive's Ministry.

Reorganization of the Khedive's Ministry.
Cairo, April S.-Rivers Wilson,
minister to France, and DeB;ig-
nieres, minister of public works, refuse
to vacate their posts unless authorized
to do SO by the British and French gov.
ernments respectively. An official
statement explaining the action of the
khedive, declares that in complying
with the daily growing national feeling,
the khedive has decided to form truly
Egyptian cabinets. The new ministry,
therefore, has been formed under the
presidency of Cherif Pasha. Members
will be responsible to the council of
delegates, and the latter will be invested
with full powers on the modes of Euro
pean legislatures. A national financial
scheme, communicated by the Khedive
to the foreign consul general, has been
elaborated by Egyptian notables and
dignitaries, and will be scrupulously
carried out.

New York, April S.-The CONNER

civilized community where the rights

us, is unreasonable. The surprise
would be a constitution of a different

business men, unfortunately, could
not be got to take any particular inter-

it is not probable that the returns from
the counties yet to hear from will ma
terially alter the situation.

A Republican Victory.

Columbus, April S.-The full official
figures prove the election of full city
republican ticket yesterday. Collins
majority for mayor is 1853. This re-
suit cannot be claimed as partisan
victory. inasmuch as many leading
democrats worked openly for republi-
can nominees. 1t is really a victory of
citizens and property owners over the
lawless element, who made deter
mined effort to obtain control of the
the city. The republicans will have
four majority in the common council.

TELEGRAPHIc SUMMARY,


The republicans of East Saginaw,
Mich, elected their mayor; the re
mainder of the city ticket is mixed.
The army appropriation bill was re-
ported to the senate this morning with
out amendments.
A story is current in Washington
that ex-senator Barnum has been en-
ployed by the Central Pacific railroad
to look after their interests there, par
ticularly to prevent the passage of the
southern Pacific railroad bill, and that
in the line ot his new duties to secure it is
the appointment of a railroad commits
sion in the house favorable to the two
roads named.
The republicans of Cleveland, Ohio,
have elected their entire city ticket,
with the exception of the police court
judge.
Thirty thousand Durham (England)
miners are on a strike.
In the single scull race on the
Thames, from Putney to Montlake, for
$1,000 side, Spencer beat Tarryer by
six lengths.
Senator Jones of Nevada, being inter-
viewed by New York reporter, stated
his belief that Grant will be renominat-
ed and elected, and that the democratic
choice lies between Tilden and Thur
man, with the odds favoring Tilden
because of his money and ability to
lead campaign.
Dispatches from Cincinnati state
the republicans made sweeping gains
throughout Ohio, and carried all the
cities and large towns. The issue made
was on national politics, not local, and
the victory is, therefore, regarded as
doubly significant.
