pIsastrous Railroad Accidents.

train, which left here at 1l:30, collided with
q special train from Greenburg at Twentieth
street, where the riots occurred few years
ago. Both trains were filed with passengers,
especially Walls, which contained several
marching clubs which participated in the
Democratic demonstrations here to. night.
At 2 A. n. reliable estimate places the
number of killed at twelve, and between
thirty and forty wounded, most of whom
were terribly scalded. Some were SO badly
seslded that the flesh peeled off their bones.
The dead bodies are being moved i'll every
direction. and it is impossible to learn how
many are killed. Among the killed are Dr.
Elliott of Brenton, Pa; E. d. Butler and
sister, james Bard, Lizzie Bard, Jones Law
renee and Mrs. Boyd.

burg special says: a mistake in signals
caused the collision, the first serious one on
the Pennsylvania road since the block system
was established. The loss is now said to be
fifteen killed and fifty wounded. The latter
are at the West PenusylrSTaia Hospital. The
mangled hSuIes of the victims are at the

hartford Comm, October 9th-There
was railroad accident on the New York and
New England Railroad, at Hop river, near
Wlllimantic, last night, caused by collision
between the passenger accommodation train
leaving this city last night, and an extra
freight train going west of Willimantic. The
wreck was a bad one. Engineers Kenyon and
Flood, and firemen Forsythe and Hunley,
were killed, and Conductor Aldrich, of the
freight train. badly injured, and will probably
die. The conductor of the freight train is
sald to be to blame for the accident, as he
should have held his train at Willimantic for
the passenger train to pass.
The South Carolina Census.
WASHINGTON, October Och. - Secretary
Scharz this afternoon made public the report
of Superintendent Walker, of the Census
Bureau, on the alleged census frauds in
South Carolina. The General gives his rea.
sons for believing the census of 1870 incor-
rect, attributing it mainly to defects of the
law under which it was taken, that of 1850.
and adds that the investigation instituted
places it beyond doubt, first, that the CEN
sus OF 1870 was grossly defective, and, Sec
ondly, that the census of 1880 was substan-
TALLY well taken In no instance did any
thing appear which bore a semblance of
fraud IN the returns made to this Office by
the enumerators of 1850. In some districts
nearly every family was identified as resident
In the township, notwithstanding the great
extent of South Carolina townships, some of
which embrace hundred and even two hun
dred square miles. In all cases the identifi-
ton was carried far enough to put
it beyond doubt that the fault of the impos.
sible gains reported over the census of 1870
lay In the preceding enumeration. It ap-
pesrs to me that the report of Special Agent
Garrett satisfactorily answers all questions
as to the fairness of the tenth Gen.

That Colorado BarbarIty.
OURAY tColl October 9sh.-The outrage
at Cline's ranch, on the Cimarron, in allow
ing prisoner to fall into the hands of the
indians to be butchered, when there
were over 400 troops encamped at the
place, is without parallel in history, and has
created the widest excitement in all the
frontier towns along the borders Of the reser-
vation. Indignation meetings are being held
not only in various towns, but also in every
mining camp, and the feeling upon the sub
jecs is becoming so intense that it is liable to
break forth in a hostile demonstration that
will annihilate the whole Ute reservation.
The conduct of the Indian Agent at Los
Pinos Agency, w. n. Berry, in allowing
such an outrageous crime to be committed,
when he had force of over 400 troops at his
command, has created a public sentiment
that is liable to compel him to call on the
military for protection.
WASHINGTON, October 9th.-OHicials at the
Department of the Interior say, regarding
the recent killing of the son of Chief Cha
yaneux, aud the subsequent capture and
death OF his alleged murderer scks0n-at
the hands of the Ute tribe, that unless the
feelings of the Utes are worked upon by uu-
principled white men, who are disposed to
throw every possible obstacle in the way of
complete success of the treaty recently rati-
fed, the affair will undoubtedly be settled
without any rupture of the existing relations
between the Utes and the United States.
