TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Thirteen Persons Killed and Fort,
Wounded.
A California Town in Mourn
ing.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-A Santa
Cruz dispatch says: A local train on
the South Pacific Coast railroad,
which run to-day between here and
Big Tree switch, with passengers to
the Independent rife picnic at that
place, met with terrible accident.
At half-past three o'clock three open
cars, with high railings on the out
side and on the ends, with seats and
loaded with about l25 persons, left
that place for this city. The train
was pulled by No. 3 engine, one
Elliott being engineer. On the way
down all went well till No. 7 tunnel
was passed, said tunnel being located
just above and overlooking the pow
der works. As the cars passed
through the tunnel the speed Of the
engine was increased, it being down
grade. just as the curve in the road
was reached, the first car jumped the
track to the left, the second to the
right, and the third car remained on
the track. The people on the first
two cars were thrown inside toward
the bank in a confused mass, the cars
passing over those who we're across
the track. Those on the third car
were uniDjured, merely being Knocked
of their feet. Those not hurt imme-
diately set to work to assist the
wounded and to look after the dying
and dead, and word was Immediately
sent to this place and FELTON, for as
sistance, which was promptly rem
dered. A gloom of sadness is cast
over our city tonight. Every hotel
is being turned into a hospital to re-
ceive the wounded, which will num-
Der upwards Of forty. Already thir-
teen are reported dead and others will
die before morning. A number Of
San Francisco people were on the
train at the time of TIE accident. 1t
will be impossible to give full list Of
the wounded tonight, as they are
being cared for by all parties and are
spread in various parts of town. Some
of the dead have not been identified
Doctors are heroically working to re.
lieye the suferings of the wounded
and are assisted by the Sisters o.
Charity. No services are being held
at the churches on account of Tho

The Iron Trade.

The New York Commercial Bulletin
The Philadelphia Ledger, in an ar
ticle on the present condition of the
iron trade reasons that until the con-
sequences of the wild and ignorant
speculation" of last autumn are dis
counted there can be no recovery
Outsiders, who would hardly know a
pig Of iron if they were to see it, at
that time imported thousands of tons
on margin, just as they would buy
stocks IN Third street, and these pur-
chases, the Ledger says, now line the
wharves. The writer adds, as if for
the consolation of the trade.
1T is now pretty certain that new
importations are at an end for the
present, and that a considerable pro-
portion Of our iron furnaces must
stop. 1t is not possible either to
bring iron from the other side or to
make it at one-third of the furnaces
now running in this country at pres
ent prices. In the long run it will
not be imported nor made below cost,
and hence the production must soon
be checked, and reaction and ad-
vance must inevitably follow"

Charleston News.l
There is nothing speculative in we'll
established newspaper property. A
newspaper is hard to build up, but it
is proportionately difficult to pull
down. 1t is an aggregation of atoms,
and its segregation under the most
favorable circumstances, takes years
and years. The fact that it depends
on thousands of customers for success
is its protection. No two groups
of men think alike, and what
displeases one set pleases another.
Even imprudent management cannot
seriously injure a newspaper, so long
as it does not tread upon the toes Of
too many of its readers at the same
time. Where it looses in one direc-
tion it gains in another. There is,
indeed, only one way in which a news
paper can effectually destroy itself,
and that is by disappointment, and
continue to disappoint, the general
expectation of its readers as a whole.
They expect the newspaper to keep
within certain lines, and the newspa-
per that deliberately goes outside, and
camps there, will starve to death as
soon as its readers have found news.

The announcement that runaway

at the stationhouse, awaiting further

stir Saturday morning and all that

visited the stationhouse to get look
at the couple that loved not wisely,

attenuated form. Both were typical

PROPOSED ELEVATOR.

Memphis has powerful competitors
as a cotton market. Other cities are
endeavoring to make up what they
lack in geographical advantages, by
liberal outlay of money. st. Louis in
particular has made considerable pro-
gress toward building up an artificial
market The leading merchants of
this city, say that in order to hold their
own, Memphis must have better facil
tiles for storing and handling cotton.
One of this class, Mr.. John R. Good.
win, a long headed far seeing mer-
chant, has written clear and sensible
article on this subject. He sets forth
that it is necessary to have a union of
all the cotton storage and compress
ing interests in the city under one
management. 1t is proposed (), to
utilize the compress and grounds at
the Memphis and Charleston rail-
road depot, and the cotton sheds that
are near enough to admit Of being
converted into one large warehouse
with storage capacity for all cotton re-
ceived by the Memphis and Charles
ton road, the principal object being
to have the cotton transferred from
the cars to the warehouse
without either exposure to wealth
er, or expense Of draying. (2),
to make similar arrangement at the
Mississippi and Tennessee railroad
depot; and (3) to build an elevator at
the old navy.yard with ample shed
capacity for storing and handling all
the cotton received by the Louisville
and Nashville, the Memphis and Pa
ducah, and the Memphis and Little
Rock railroad, and by river. To carry
out this splendid scheme it will Of
course be necessary to connect all the
railroads, SO that cars could pass from
one shed to another. Thus all the
cotton received would be delivered to
the buyer, compressed and reloaded
on the cars or steamboats, under csver
and the cotton business would be re-
moved almost entirely from the land
ing. In making such change we
would but be following the example
Of other trade centers aud protecting
ourselves against the dangerous
competition of St. Louis and other
markets. 1t is not too big an under
taking for Memphis, but it seems tc
be necessary to take some measure oi
the kind to protect our commerce
: We must keep up with the times or gel
out ofline. Mr.. Goodwin intimates that
if this connection is not made, a mum
of cotton factors who handle 100000
bales annually will provide for it a
point accessible to all the railroads

chapter lO9, provided for the payment
to the state Of prescribed tax by
foreign insurance companies for the
privilege of doing business in this state
which shall be in lieu of all other
taxes by the act of 1879. Chapter "a,
section z, subsection SO, an additional
tax for the benefit of the Taxing Dis

held that the latter act was unconsti

the constitution of 1870, article /, Sec

recite in their caption or otherwise
the title or substance of the law re-
pealed, revived or amended, applies to

Important Announcement.

A some of the dealers in the Home Sana-
tive Cordial felt uncertain whether they
could sell it as medicine, and free from a
liquor occupation tax, we beg to state that in
the trial of case recently decided in the
county court ofEllis county, at Waxahachie,
where Mr.. Benjamin White was presented
for selling, in violation of the local option
law, the defense established that the Homo
Sanative Cordial was compound tincture
of calisaya and iron. The jury pronounced
it real medicine, and declared the defend
ant not guilty. 1t is thus medicine in the
eyes of the law, and dealers can sell
it without paving occupation liquor tax.
