RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

In Philadelphia, about nine o'clock
last evening, car No. IT'S, OF the Union
Line, was struck by freight engine 6s, of
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
tlmore Railroad, at Twenty-third street
and Washington avenue. The force OF
the collision l'fled house car on to a
fiat car standing on the track, and the
passenger car was completely demolish-
ed, and one of the horses killed.
Alexander Long, the driver, residing
at No. 1908 Clarion street, had his left
arm broken; and Elizabeth Lane, aged
%, at No. 2042 Ellsworth street, had all
the fingers cut off one of her hands.
These two were removed to the Penn
sylvania Hospital.
There were seven other passengers
all of whom were slightly injured.
1t is said the accident was caused by
the conductor and driver of the street
car neglecting to attend to the flag
mans warning, or to look ahead be-
fore crossing the railroad track.
At Bellevue Quarries, yesterday af-
ternoon, lime car which slipped its
brakes and got started down grade,
ran into engine No. %. The front of
the engine was badly broken up by the
collision, and the engine is now in the
shops for repairs.

A FLAT FAILURE.

Cincinnati Enquirer.
The flattest failure in this political
campaign is the attempt made by the
Republican press to make consequential
political capital out of the private busi-
ness transactions OF the Democratic can
didate for Vice-President. Taese papers
publish long lists of the mortgage fore
closures and sheriff deeds that have been
made in his name, all of which would
amount to nothing, even if unexplained,
but II turns out, as will be seen from the
letter of our indianapolis correspondent,
that the whole thing is gross misrepre-
sentation and perversion of the facts,
with the view of misleading the public
and getting up prejudice against Mr..
English. IL turns out that most of the
lots described in the Commercials list
do not now and never did belong to Mr..
English, and there are not in the whole
list a dozen foreclosures of mortgages
executed to him, and in these few cases
he was the loser by being forced to take
the property. Hundreds of the lots men,
toned in the list belong to widows and
orphans and are held in Mr.. English's
name in trust for them, because of his
we'll established reputation for prudence
and hdellty. In many other cases MIR.
English does not even own the lots in
trust, and in estimating the present value
of the property the Republican papers
give the amount as it stood on the tax
book of 1875 instead of 1890, concealing
the fact that real estate in Indiana is
valued for taxation only once in five
years, and that lots set down as valued
at $500 each are in fact valued at only
$40 each by the assessment of 1880. Be-
sides, in Indiana property sold at sher-
ifs sale can be redeemed at any time
within year by either the owner or a
creditor on paying the amount of the
bid, with interest. So there is no such
thing in that State as taking real estate
In at sheriff's sale at ruinous sacrifice.
The charge of buying property at tax
sale on speculation has been shown by
the highest Republican evidence to be
false.

THE MEXICAN WAR VETERANS WHO
MET AT coNEY ISLAND TO RECALL
THEIR BATTLES.
The Mexican War Veterans Associa-
tion celebrated yesterday the twenty
third anniversary of the capture of the
city Of Mexico by the American army
under Gen. Winfield Scott. The assoc
iation was organized in this city in 1858,
with membership of over one hundred.
Their first President was the late Gen.
Joseph Hooker, who was succeeded by
M4jor-Gen. James Shields. The present
officers of the Association are Col. w.
Linn Tidball, p. esldent; Charles I.
Murphy, Marshal; G. W. Leonard, Sc
cretary, and WIN. Calligan, Treasurer.
The association has been reduced by
death to fifty members. Twenty-Five of
the survivors, with the officers, took the
half-past one o'clock boat to Coney Is
land yesterday, where they enjoyed
| their annual reunion and dinner at the
I Sea Beach Palace Hotel.
President Tidball presided at the table.
He said that it gave him great pleasure
once more to join his old comrades in
arms. Such an occasion carried his
mind back to the days of his early man.

the enemy's country and helped to ach-
| ieve those brilliant victories that added
lustre to American arms. "And now
comrades" said he, "fall to, and while
We enjoy the banquet, let us revive the
memories of the olden time"
Mayor j. G. Alexander, being the old
dest veteran present (68 years), began al
once to recall the achievements of the
American army in Mexico. He describ-
ed with enthusiasm the victories ol
Resaca de la Palma, Palo Alto, and Cerrc
Gordo. But the old veterans enthusiasm
reached its height when he began to talk
of the storming of Chapultepec and
MOlino del Rev, the last stronghold:
protecting the city of Mexico. sand al
last," said he, "when that handful OF
audacious Americans marched into the
Grand Plaza of the proud city of the
Montezumas, did we not feel proud"
The company at the table cheered the
old veteran to the echo.
President Tidball then arose to offer
toast. "Gentlemen," said he, 81 now
propose TO drink the health of a distin.
guished veteran of the Mexican war, one
who has since added undying lustre tc
his name by the great services rendered
to his country in the war ofthe rebellion
and who to-day is the candidate of the
great national party of the United States
Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock"
This speech was greeted with three
hearty cheers, and the toast was drunk
with enthusiasm. Then the old veterans
forgetting their battles, began to tall
politics. They could not however dis
agree, for they were all Hancock men
Not being able to find political op

veterans asked lady present whom sh

MR.. BAYARD ASSAILED.
For the Gazette.

It UT tne 0dLelJe.
Mr.. EDIToR;-The editor of the
NeOs has entered into the slums of
vulgarity and hate, along with the
Justification mill down town. The
language of Senator Bayard before the
Bayard Club, ON Monday evening, was
the truth, tho whole truth, and moth
ing but the truth. This is why it
sinks deep into the hearts of the
"Niggerites, and the audience ap-
preciated plain English. Was Senator
Bayard expected to talk about consti-
tutional government aud to use Latin
and Greekp No. 1t was "a talk to
humble citizens, white citizens; it was
plain and dispassionate. No hate or
anger entered into the spirit of the ad-
dress, although he referred to unprin-
eipled men, to men whom the govern
ment had denounced, and for whom a
warrant has been issued for crime in
the District of Columbia, and who fed
beyond the jurisdiction of the United
States to escape punishment. If good,
clean, honest amalgOmationists were
caught in such company, we apply the
old adage, 'Judge man by the COM
pany he keeps;" suppose for one mo-
ment this mixed gang who met at Do
yer had power, then and there, to
make laws for this State,
What would be the state of affairs, in
six months, in Delaware? Your Public
Scho Is would be filed with negroes;
your Legislature, your police; your jury
box, your churches, your places OF
amusement would be Tiled with negroes,
and whore one rape is committed now
there would be twenty. Life and virtue
would be unsafe In every place in this com.
munity. II is only the poor woman who
In insultei, exciaim the owners of the

TO sacrifice good voter, true buck ne
gro. We do not believe her, we believe
the negro. l ask the working men ot
this city and State, would you trust your
wife or your daughter in the hands o
these men, who would make laws bring
ing you down to the level OF negroes
while the editor of the NelDs and his
rich mill owners would look upon you
with contempt, and exclaim, "Irish
DHtch, trash" All! these same mer
would say the same of the negro, but
they sacrifice every principle OF good
citizenship for the DegrO's vote. The at

dupes will fall upon the community like

tar. Truth.

The Prospect Before US.

1t is now exceedingly probable that
all the States which voted for Mr.. TIL.
DEN in 1876, and which gave him a de-
cided majority of the electors, and a ma
jority of more than quarter of million
of the popular vote will go for HANCOCK.
The electoral votes of Louisiana, Flor
ida, and South Carolina, nineteen in all,
were stolen by the conspirators who or
ganized the Great Fra1d. The late
ZACH CHANDLER and the present JOHN
SHERMAN were principals In that con-
spiracy, with JAMES A. GARFIELD as
chief of staff, In his double capacity of
visiting statesman at New Orleans to aid
WELLS and ANDERSON in their false re-
turns, and as member of the Electoral
Commission to sustain them and the
forged certificates of electors which
KELLoG and his crew had fabricated.
The TILDEN States would give HAN
COCK 292 electors, or eighteen more than
the necessary number of 185. There is
hardly reasonable doubt now about
any of them, and the probability is, that
after Indiana shall have made her record,
others will be eager to fall into the win
ming column, and contribute to a sweep
ing victory. Confidence is also fortified
by theHconviction that, if legally elected,
Gen. HANCOCK will take his seat in the
White House and will exercise the func-
tions of President, in spite of all machi-
nations to the contrary.
The friends of Hancock will claim
nothing that is not right, and will sub
NIT to nothing that is wrong. The con-
spirators of 1876 are now in possession
of stolen power. They cannot repeat
their former frauds, because their con-
federates In the South are no longer able
to pack Returning Boards or to falsify
certificates. But they are fully capable
of resorting to other methods equally
criminal, In order to retain control of
the Government.
The standing army of more than a
hundred thousand officeholders is a
mere fraction of the enormous power
welded by this Administration. The
Treasury alone handles over six hun-
dred millions year of receipts and ex-
penditures. The customs, the banks,
the internal revenue, the Post Office,
the Indian service, the pensions, the
patents, the land service, the army and
the navy, the revenue service, the coast
survey, the judicial service, with the
marshas, deputies, istrict attorneys,
clerks, commissions, and other branches,
reach into multitude of interests, and
touch the pockets of millions of people.
The bsneficiaries of this system do not
mean to give up without severe strug
gle. They are contending not only for
what they have acquired already and
what they expect to get in the future,
but also to prevent any exposure of the
methods by which they have become
enriched. Hence they fight desperately
against a change, and they will not
scruple at any means to prevent that
desired consummation. But Gen. Han
cock will probably be elected, and in
that event he certainly will be inaugu-
rated.-N. Y. San.

The Victory in Maine.
SYMPTOMS OF A REPUBLt.
CAN INTENTION TO COUNT
OUT PLAISTED.

SUSPICIOUS HOLDING BACK OF RE-
TURNS AND A wIIITTLING DOWN
OF THE UNION vOTE-BLAINE
RECEIVING A MULTITUDE OF DEs-
PATCHES.
BOSTON, Sept. 15.-There appears
to be no substantial reason to doubt
that Gen. Plaisted has a clear ma
jority, and is elected Governor by
the people. Latest trustworthy ad-
vices from Maine say returns re-
ceived tonight do not vary the gen.
eral result. The towns to hear
from, principally in Aroostook
County, gave a fusion majority of
2,400 last year, and the general be-
lief is that Union gains have been
made there, and that Plaisted will
have fully 1000 majority when the
returns are all in. The Republicans
are trying to figure out that he will
only have plurality, and in that
case the Supreme Court will be call
ed upon to declare the plurality
amendment just adopted unconstitu-
tlonal or imperative in this election.
Blaine has received an immense
number of dispatches at his home
in Augusta to-day, and some of the
Republicans there, while they dc
not assert that Davis is elected, de-
clare that he will be the next Gov.
ernor of Maine. The leading Demo.
Gratis, however, assert that there is
no doubt whatever of the result, that
Plaisted is surely elected, and that
his majority is such that no possible
figuring or manipulating of the re-
turns can change the verdict of the
people.
BANGOR, Me-, Sept. 15.-Among the
dispatches received by the Hon. II. NJ
Plaisted. Governor elect of the State ol
Maine, was the following:

A MODERN GoDIvA.

A New York policeman, while stand
ing at the junction of Broadway and
Fourteenth street shortly after dusk yes
terday, perceived the nude form of
middle-aged woman gliding past the Lin
coin monument. A crowd Of men and
boys were in hot pursuit, and the officer,
without moments hesitancy, crossed
the square and overlook her as she Was
about turning into the park. A glance
convinced him that she was dement, d
and he hustled her into coach and GOV.
cred her with a horse blanket. The
coach was Immediately driven to the
Mercer street station house, and the
woman taken indoors and clothed.
Police Surgeon Dorm, who was called,
prom nounced her to be suffering from re-
ligious mania, and ordered her removal
to the New York hospital. She told the
police that she was Mary Coyle, SO years
old, domestic employed at the Ross
more Hotel. Her strange actions first
attracted attention on Fourteenth street,
near Fifth avenue, where she was partly
dsrobed on the sidewalk. Then she ran
along toward the square, where she was
caught.

AN ENFORCED BATH.

Capt. Alex. Kelley, of the Harlan &
Hollingsworth Company, was standing
on the deck of the ferry boat, while
she was being placed in the dry dock,
Tuesday morning, when suddenly a
taut rope slipped, and taking him
around the legs unceremoniously threw
him into the water. Being a good
swimmer the Captain disdained the
line that was promptly thrown to him,
and swan to the wharf, where he
clambered out of the water and hast
ened away to change his dripping
clothes.
