Fo'cer Of w1I-Deterns;ned to See His
Daughters ks fore He Died
IDavton Ohio Snoo;,1 A. I

dayton. Ohio, Special, Aug. 8.
James Murphy, q well-known miller of this
city, some time ago received word that he and
his brother, who resides in Cincinnati, had
fallen heirs to en- estate in Ireland worth sew
eral thousand dollars. James at once pre-
pared to leave for the old Country, and bid.
ding his wife and three daughters an sffec-
t;ona,e farewell, departed for New York.
where he took passage on the i'll -fated Queen,
which, when about three hundred miles at sea
coliided with the Ancolia, and many passen-
gers were lost and wounded. The pas
sengers who We're wounded, among
whom was Mr.. M pay,
were brought back to New York by the Ancoiia,
and those who were pronounced in condition
to make the voyage were reshipped, and were
at once set out anew on their journey. MIR.
Murphy, although badly injured In the breast,
was one of these. He made the trip, but his
injuries began to tell severely upon him, and
after settling up the estate, cabled his wife to
meet him in New York, which she did upon
the arrival of the vessel. Upon reaching New
York he was pronounced dying, and himself
aud wife were advised to proceed no further
toward home. Mr.. Murphy, however, insisted
upon reaching home, asserting that he knew
be was In dying condition, but could not die
until he again saw his daughters. The poor
man was placed on board the train by his
faithful wife and started for this city. At
Cleveland his condition became worse, and he
was told by his physicians that he could not
possibly live to reach home, but again said that
he could not die until he had seen his daugh-
ters. At Xenia he showed signs of failing
rapidly, and again an effort was made to dis
suade him from proceeding further, which he
overcame by repeating his former declarations.
change of cars was made, and the dying man
reached his home shortly after 10 o'clock this
morning. He was carried into the house and
placed in an easy chair, and at once was sur
rounded by his daughters. He looked upon
them, spoke not one word, reached his hand
out to them, his head dropped, and he was dead.

SARATOGA, Aug. 12.-The bankera' conyen-

and territory. An exclusive council has chos-

law, endorsed by the executive counsel, were
laid on the table.
A communication from Secretary Sherman
was read. The letter reviewed the banking
system of the nation and state from early days
to the present time, aud closed by stating that
Congress-, mindful OF the difficulties hereto
fore experienced, aimed, In the way Of system,
to secure, If possible, uniform national cur
rency amply secured to holders, and this WA
affected by requiring deposit with the gov
ernment by the bank of issue of more than
an equal amount OF United States bond.,
and giving the government the
first lien upon the entire sasets OF the hank.
The ancient success of this system need not be
recounted. In no case has the value Of the ma
tioual bank notes fallen below the value of the
Unlted States notes In which they were redeema-
bic. The present generation can hardly reslize
the importance of this stability of value. which
has come to be accepted as a matter of course.
The value Of State bank notes has constantly
huctuated in mercantile centers, according to
the location of the bank, from l26 to IL or 25
per cent. Merchants could not when State
bonds only were held as security, estimate, in
| times of panic, the value of bank bills they
were forced to take. The national banking
law has been SO amended now that banks can
furnish moro or less currency, as the business
Of the country demands. The receipt, safe
keeping and disbursement of the rublic moneys
has always been secured by the national bank.

PINE CRY, Minn., Aug. 12.-About las A.
M. to-day fatal accident occurred on the rail-
way about four miles north of this place--the
worst that has ever happened On the St. Paul
& Duluth railroad. As is we'll known the Min.
neapolis & Sr. Louis company has lately OBJ
taiued the right to run its freight traids. with
sleeper attached atnight, over the St. Paul 4
Duluth road. The accident occurred to the
ID. d st. l.. train which left Duluth last even
ing The train was running at its
usual speed, probably about twelve
miles an ho,r, when an an axle Of the forward
freight Car broke throwing that car and six or
seven Others off the track and piling them up
badly wrecked. The following cars and the
sleepers were somewhat injured by the shock
but remained ON the uraok. None of the pes.
sengers or train men were seriously hurt, but
when search was made through the wreck,
three boys were found, dead, and another alive,
in overturned and crushed Car of wheat.
Tue dead boys had been buried and smothertd
by the Whe.t The dead boys were Peter Martin
John Irwin aud Geo. Adans,the youngest eleven
yef rs old aud &c Oldest sixteen. The living b. y
was Ed. Coniey. AL these boys were from MiL-
neapolis. With one or two Others of about
the same age they had been to Du-
iuth, in search or work-so Conley
says. The others obtained work, but these
four failing to find work undertook to steal
ride back home. They were discovered in
wheat car at Fond du Lac and were put off by
Conductor Anderson. but managed, before the
train started on, to got into the car again. An
old Italian tramp wsa also stealing ride on
the train, concealed on fat car loaded with
threshing machines. He was thrown by the
crash fully fifty feet, landing in swampy
spot bat little hurt. When he came limpiug
out and the train men had chance to look at
bim oae of them remarked, "You couldn't kill
that man with an axe; he's loo tough. ~ Con-
ductor Anderson, Capt. Downing, master mo-
chaDio of the st. Paul & Duluth road, and
others did all in their power for the passengers,
IN care of the dead and for removal of the
wreck. The bodies Of the boys were brought
here and have since been forwarded TO their
relatives in Minneapolis. The wrecking train
was promptly teiegraphed for and the track
cleared in time for the Sc. Paul & Duluth Gay
train down, On which the Minneapolis & Sc.
Louis passengers were taken down to White
Bear. Six of the freight cars wers badly
wrecked. The disaster appears TO have been
purely an accident. The cars had been proper
iy Inspected and were In good running order.
