he discovers the lack of beauty in the mind.
lnestimably great is the influence sweet

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON A WESTERN ROAD
petriot, October lO.-The Pacific express, which
left here ON the Michigan Central Railroad forty
minutes late collided with o switch engine on
the main track Mt Jackson at o'clock this
morning, tcescoping the baggage and express
cars and piling eleven coaches on the ton of
each other. The first coach was filed with emf
grants, most of whom were killed or seriously
injured. Many occupants Of the other coaches
were also killed or injured. 1t is supposed that
twenty-five were killed and thirty wounded, the
majority being emigrants. Physicians and others
are doing everything possible to alleviate the
sufferings of the wounded
The engineer and fireman of the express train
were literally torn to pieces, but the engineer
and fireman of the switch engine escaped injury
by Jumping from their engine:
AS near as can be ascertained, the accident
was caused by the switchman having charge of
making up freight trains at Jackson Junction,
occupying the main track with switch engine
and caboose, he understanding the express train
was considerably behind time. The express
train, however, had made up nearly all lost
time. No Southern people among the names of

THE ENGLISH IRON MAR
KET.
Its Bearing on the American
Market-Shipments of Eng
land Bessemer Pig to This Mar
lot


Pittsburgh COmmercial-Gazette.
A cable from London was published
in the morning papers day before yes
terday, announcing the prices for iron
at Barrow in Furness, England, had ad-
yanced from five to ten shillings in con-
sequence of the brisk demand. The
dispatch further stated that large ship.
ments are being made to America and
that orders for iron and steel are suffi-
cient to maintain the activity of trade at
that place throughout the winter.
The reporter yesterday made inquiry
among several manufacturers to learn
whether any OF the English iron or steel
was coming to Pittsburgh. Some weeks
ago, it will be remembered, announce
ment was made in the Commercial Ga
zette that 10000 tons of English steel had
been purchased by Pittsburgh steel
houses at S24 so per ton, while American
steel was selling at S25 per ton. Since
that time it seems considerable addition
al English steel has been purchased by
our home manufacturers. English Bes-
semer pig iron was quoted here yester-
day at S32 cash per ton, equal to No. l.,
2 and 3 delivered at this city. The
same quality of American Bessemer pig
was quoted at from $50 to S33 per
ton. The reporter learned that the
Pittsburgh steel manufacturers were
compelled to buy some OF their Besemer
pig of English manufacturers. The
present boom in the Bessemer steel
trade taxes the American manufactur-
ers 10 their full capacity, and even then
they are unable to fully meet the de-
mand. 1t is due to this fact indeed that
our Pittsburgh steel manufacturers have
organized and will build works for the
manufacture of Bessemer billets, as
stated in these columns on Tuesday.
"What have you to say about the al.
vance in prices of England?" asked the
reporter of a leadingiron man yesterday.
"Well," he replied, "you can say that
the English iron will probably govern
our prices here. There is no probabili-
ty of a further advance in American
iron till the English men make further
advances. The fact that they are adj
vancing some looks encouraging. At the
present prices they can import hoop and
sheet iron and undersell our home man.

good deal of these brands of iron. Last
year they sent a thousand tons of bar
rel hoops to this country"
"Have they shipped any common pig
iron to this immediate section lately ??
Eyes, about two or three thousand
tons. hear that the iron was an in-
ferior quality and couldn't be worked as
we'll As our American iron"
"Do you think any of these orders
which the Barrow-in-Furness men say
will keep them running all winter
