OFF THE TRACK.
Serious Accident to a Funeral
Party.

BUFFALO. n. Y, June 25.-The At
lantic express on the Lake Shore rail-
wav, due here at 1880 7. NJ, met with a
serious accident when near Hamburg,
about five miles from here. a special
coach of the Cleveland, Crestline, Chi
cagO and indianapolis railroad, attached
to the train at Dayton, o., containing
a funeral partyof eleven persons, bound
for Medina, n. v, where the body Of
the wife Of Col. f. f. Brown, of the
soldiers home at Dayton, o., was to be
inferred, was thrown from the track
and partly turned over. The intense
heat having, it is believed, spread the
rails, iniuring o. f.. Britt, of Mil
waukee, fracturing his spine and
right leg, he cannot recover; Mrs.
Edward Marshall, of Medina, y. y,
head badly injured. She has been ly-
ing in an unconscious state since the ac-
cident, aud will probably die. Mrs.
Chaplain Earnshaw, of the Soldiers
Home, Dayton, severely injured in the
back and head, but will probably re-
cover; Mrs. Z. ID. Bcecher, OF the Sol
diers' Home, head painfully injured;
Major Il. f.. Fleming. of the Soldiers
Home, shoulder dislocated; L. T.
Brown, jr., head and leg bruised. The

this city and cared for. All OF the train
excepting the Inflated car, remained on
the track. Mrs. Marshall was found
with the coffin containing the body Of
Mrs. Brown, across her back. The re-
mains were but little disturbed. The

HOUSE.

A resolution instructing the Com
mittee on Rules to sit during vacation
for the purpose of codifying and simpli-
ported by Mr.. Blackburn.
1t gave rise TO considerable discus
sion regarding the complex, unintelligi-
BILE and contradictory system OF rules at
present governing the House.
An objection was intimated by Mr..
Conger that it might be intended TO
abridge the rights OF the minority by
making it compulsory on every member
present TO vote on every question, and
thus preventing what is known as fill
clustering.
This objection was met with the as
surance that no such thing was intend
ed. That in fact no rule could be
palmer or more obligatory than the ex-
isting one, and yet under it it was well
known how many members of the mi
nority declined voting, and thus OBJ
structed legislation.
The Speaker mentioned it as an his
torical fact that, except in two instances,
the woman's suffrage and liquor traffic
reports Of the Committee on Rules had
never been made on party grounds.
Finally the resolution was adopted
without division.
Senate bill exempting from license
vessels not propelled wholly by sail or
internal motive power OF their own was
taken up.
A long debate ensued, Messrs. Reagan
and Conger favoring the bill as a meas
ure of justice and relief TO the owners
of canal boats and barges, on inland
waters of the country, and Mr.. Reagan
opposed it as a piece of class legislation,
involving a change in the laws, in re-
gard to coastwise navigation.
Mr. Ryan moved to strike out the
word wholly" from the bill.
Mr.. Acklen moved to recommit the
bill, and the House adjourned.

FALL RIVER.
The Spinners' Strike.

FALL RIVER, MASS, June 25.-The
great struggle between the manufac-
turers and spinners begins tomorrow.
The general opinion is that the manu-
facturers will win, though the splnners
affirm that they will make II costly
victory. The manufacturers held q
meeting in the Board OF Trade rooms,
this afternoon, to decide whether to at
tempt or not TO run the mills. All
agreed that il would be the wisest
course 10 continue running. They do
not expect, Of course, a full complement
OF help at tirit, but do believe that
with what extra filling they have on
hand, the few spinners who promise 10
continue work and the Importation
spinners from other parts, they will be
able to kill out the strike. Most mills
paid the spinners to-day in full and
others will do so tomorrow. The wages
of the spinners living in corporation
tenements have been withheld until
such time as they shall leave the tene-
ments, when, il anything re-
mains due, the balance will
be paid to other employees
occupying the corporation house, who
are known 10 be related 10 the striking
operatives, and with whom the spinners
naturally expect to find home during
the strike, have been ordered TO vacate
the tenements also, and the wives and
children of the spinners working in the
other departments will also be dis
charged, so all the income OF the spin
ners shall be cut of. One Superinten-
dent told his spinners as they were paid
to-day to look elsewhere for employment,
as in the future no male spinners will be-
employed there. He also told them
they must vacate the houses next week,
as the spinners then take their places.
Some of the mills have enough filling
ahead 10 run few weeks, while others
are worked close up. The Flint mill
will probably not try to run to morrow,
but will start Monday.
The spinners held an adjourned meet
ing at Carrolton Hall, tonight, which
was not limited 10 the members OF the
Union, but open TO all the spin
ners of the city, and il was
largely attended. The business was
chiefly 10 hear reports, which were,
without exception, that the spinners
would strike at every mill tomorrow, ex-
cept the Metacomet, Annawan and King
Phillip. The officers of the Union
stated it was believed that not one Of
between 500 and 900 present would go
TO work tomorrow. The spinners say
that il the manufacturers secure spin
ners out OF town, the weayers will refuse
to work for them, but no doubt |
the manufacturers can secure all the |
weavers they want. There is little ex.
citement, but both sides present to.
night the same calm and determined |
front, which all aIong characterized the |
different stages OF the proceedings.

Murderer Executed.

RALEIGH, n. c., June 25.-Robert
Jones, the negro who murdered Ru.
dolph Eaton (white) in the village Of
Rocky Mount, Dec. %, 1877, was public
ly executed to-day at Tarboro. The
sheriff left the Jail with the prisoner in
an open wagon, the Edgecombs Guards
accompanying with a negro fire com,
pany in red shirts. Jones talked and
laughed and poked fun at the sheriff.
He dwelt long on his religious expert
ence. and said he was going straight 10
Heaven. He was the coolest man ever
seen on the gallows. He drank wine in
remembrance OF his brethren in Christ,
and shook hands all round. The moose
and cap was put on and the drop
sprung. Death was caused from stran.
gulation in twenty-six minutes.

siOnal campaign
"YOu must excuse ME from express
ing any conclusions OF my own on the
currency question, or its bearings on
future politics, this hot afternoon. You
see Statesmen, Secretaries, Boards OF
Trade and regiments OF others have been
trying their heads and hands for 10.
these many months, and what have
they made of it, Nothing but mud
dle-nobOdy agreeing with anybody,
and as to the thousand and one schemes
suggested, everybody thinks his own
crow the whitest."
twill not resumption, OF itself, finally
settle the currency question:
Resumption? Oh, that is too long
a story. | suppose it is universally un-
derstOOd and ought to be universally
admitted that the splendid economy
and self-denial which the disasters of
1878 forced upon the people produced
their legitimate effects upon the Coun-
try. We ceased to buy and continued
tosell. Instead of being debtors to the
world, we became its creditors, and
were paid in gold. The large and con-
tinuing balances of trade settled the
question. The resumption act had no
more to do with resumption than If
Congress had enacted that the snow
should be ten inches deep on the 4th OF
July. The laws which regulate the
seasons are no further beyond the con-
troll of legislation than the laws which
govern trade-and trade regulates cur
rency. No; the office of the resumption
act was to reduce all enterprise to doubt
and all business to want OF confidence,
and 10 thrust all who were not capitalists
in the true sense of the wOrd-intO
bankruptcy. Such was the admitted
consequence of the mere announcement
of the, purpose to enforce resumption.
''It would end in the survival of those
who could stand il, was the atrOcious
language OF a well-knOwn Treasury Off
cial; "the,weak were to 90 under" that
useless and cruel policy might be main
tanned. But for the fortunate results OF
the State, municipal and individual
economy, to which have referred, WHO
can estimate the fatal consequences TO
every man Of moderate means? But
enough oil this subject now. 1t will
come up for discussion in the next can
vass, and he fully comprehended by the
people. Nobody will be foolish enough
to bestride the resumption hobby in this
latitude. I'll venture to prOphesy that
far. But "may ask you to fix this pill
low?"
Taking this as hint, and seeing that
the Judge was growing rather weary,
we expressed our wishes for a speedy
restoration to his usual vigorous health
and took orr leave.
