another session yesterday, in the rooms
Of the National Committee, OF 1873 Fifth

business relating to the details OF the
campaign, and then adjourned. Another
meeting will be held to-day. Many OF
the letters received by the committee
yestesday were written by officers OF
State and County Committees aud by
influential Democrats. They all give
encouraging accounts Of the canvass.
A. H. Dill, Chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Committee In Pennsylvania,
writes:
There Is no lack of zeal anywhere in
this State. The canvass Is progressing
with remarkable earnestness. All
letters received by us indicate the best
feeling among the Democra s. The
accessions from the other sid are nu-
merous.
The Union so diers in Pennsylvania
who are supporting Gen. Hancock are
forming Hancock veteran associations.
Letters received by the National Com
mittee say that more tliau 5000 veterans
have been enrolled IN Cumberland
York, and Warren counties, and that
associations have been organized IL
nearly every county in the State.
Letters have Leen received from
Franklin Landers, Democratic nominee
for Governor in Indiana, and Senator
Daniel w, Voorhees, Of that State. MIR.
Llnders writes that there is perfect har-
mony and great energy In the party in
the State, and he is confident OF bis
e'ection in October.
Senator VOORHEES, wlites that all
stories of disagreement or Of the ex-
istenee of discord and factions in the
party in Indiana are false. He add:
that 102 prominent Democrats will
speak in the State next Saturday night

Gen. w. s. Rosecrans writes from
San Francisco, Cal, under date of July
%, 1880:
awe organized a Hancock LegioI
some two weeks ago. think We shall
organize at least 5000 strong in the city
and probably 10000 IL the State.
The nomiuation pleases the working
men, who are uniting with the Demo
ciats, ard in fact it appears moIe like
popular uprising than anything eve
known on this coast. We are deslriu
of perpetuating its effects by getting tn
best brain and energies of the country $
enlisted that we shall create a ne'
Democracy"
Gen. Rosscrans encloses in this letter

FATAL COLLISION.
TWO TRAIN SECTIONS COLLIDE NEAR
NAYS LANDING, NEW JERSEY.

TWO TRAIN SECTIONS COLLIDE NEAR
NAYS LANDING, NEW JERSEY.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., August H.
The excursion train on the West Jersey
Railroad which left Atlantic City at O p.
N met with q serious acc dent when
near Mays Landing. The the train was
proceeding in two sections when the last
8 ctlon ran into the one In front demollsl-
ing one of the cars killing two persons
aud wounding thirty others. A wrecking
train was Immediately ordered to the
scene of the accident, and medical
attendance was summoned from Atlantic
City.
The excursion train consisted OF
twenty-s cais-sixteen In the first and
ten In the section. The train was filled
with the st. AIMS Catholic excursionists
from KeBsington, Philadelphia. The first
section left this city at oo'clock and the
second followed soon afler All went
well until the first section reached Mays
Landing when the engineer slowed up
and started TO run on tie siding TO allow
the passage of the $50 express from
Camden. All The cars mad passed the
switch except two when the section
came laundering on behind.
The engineer of the latter section
whistled ''dJwn brakes" as he approach
ed the switch, but when the brakes were
applied they failed TO work owing to the
wet track, and the rear locomotive
crashed into the last car Of the first sec
ton, telescoping IL and causing fearful
wreck.
AS the locomotive forced its way into
the car the cylinder heads were forced
open, aud dense cloud of steam poured
through the car, scalding nearly every
passenger in j..
In al instant there was scene of
frarful excitement. The sound of the
Kissing steam and shrieks of the terrified
passengers were blended aud carried
through the cars, striking terror TO the
hearts Of all. The crowded cars were
speedily emptied and every effort made
TO aid the wounded. The express
arrived just as the accident occurred
and the passengers from it also hurried
to render assistance. The work Of re-
moving the injured was Immediately
begun and medical aid summoned. The
wounded were taken TO the neighborine
houses. The best cars of the express
were switched off and. fitted up as hospi-
tails and attached to the excursion train
In these were placed those least injured
and the train proceeded to Philadelphia
Physicians from Camden, who came
DOWN OH the wreckiug train, which was
telegraphed for, forbid the removal Of g
number Of the injured, who still remain
at Mays Landing.
The excitment here is intense, and al
attempt was made to mob the railroad
employees. A freight clerk was assault
ed with pistol hut b e knocked his as
Slilant down and ran. The other railroad
men were compelled to change thei
clothing An attempt will be made t,
bring the wrecked engine TO this place
