Charged with Murder In the Disaster nj
LovelI's station.

ERIE, Pa, October 19.-The official in
aulry into the railway disaster at Loyell's
Station has developed the fact that what was

act OF Moses Kane, brakeman. AT the
inquest 1t was found that this brakema n
had some words in the afternoon with En-
gineer G. NJ. Keep, who pnt him off the
engine. Kane was heard to say he would
have revenge before reaching Cory. 1t
was Kane's duty to open the switch and
let his train on the siding to leave the
main track free for an oyster train. This
be did, and from the evidence II appears
he ran along the cars aud opened the
other end Of the switch and gavea signal
for the approaching train 10 come on. 1t
did, and Of course left The main track at
the open switch and dashed along the
sidiug and into Keeps engine and train.
The engineers and brakemen OF both
trains jumped of when they saw what
was coming, but poor Selman, the Civil
Engineer Of the road, was too late. The
oyster train dashed in, and the next mo-
ment the wreck was complete. Selman
was found dead among the debris, and
Engineer Woods and Brakeman Mccarthy
were found terribly injured. Kano was
arrested. He is charged with deliberate

this il one Of the, strongest and plaineet
presentations OF the tariff question that
have seen anywhere, and l was very
much astonished TO find II published in q
paper like the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Another thing, said Mr.. 0esterliug. Do
you remember how alter the Democrats
had enacted q "revenue tarif" In 1857,
James Buchanan was forced to come TO
the relief Of the country In one OF his an
nual messages, and advise resort to the
protective policy. The Democrats had
gone on borrowing until ashamed TO Dor:
row any more, and so old Buck advised
them TO try protection.
For the confirmation of Mr.. Oesterling's
recollection OF Mr.. Buchanan's recon-
meudations to Congress, see his MESSAGES
Of December, 1858, and December, 1853.
On page {, Congressional Globe, Ssh Con-
gress, December l0.h, 1859, he says:
at will appear, from the report q the Secretary Of
the Treasury that II q extremely doubtful SAY the
least, whGther We shall BE- able TO pas through the

Congress, advising them to virtually aban.
don"a tariff for revenue only, " and to re-
