THE bill for the protection of life and
property in Ireland, introduced by Forster,
Chief Secretary of Ireland, empowers the
viceroy to arrest persons reasonably suspect
ed as principals or accessories in reasonable
offenses. The bill is retrospective as regards
arrests for treason. 1t will apply to the
whole of Ireland, but, with regard to agra
rian and other crimes, will apply
to proclaimed districts only. As a
justification for the proposed
measure, the Secretary gave q long and
detailed description of the outrages which
had been committed. He alleged that the
Land League had system of Constables in
all districts who recorded every infringe
ment Of the rules of the League. ''The re-
suit is, he said, ''the Land League is SUI
preme There is reign of terror. Those
who break the law are safe, while honest
men who keep it are in danger. The Land
League strikes terror. We must therefore
strike terror into them; we must arrest these
criminals" His speech was loudly ap-
plauded.

ANOTHER RAILROAD HORROR.

Details OF One or the Many Recent Rail-
road Aeeldents-A Train On the New Ysrk
Il Erie Road Thrown from the Track
and Set ON Fire, and Four Men Burned to
Death.
- RLauRA, N. Y, January n
ERIE train No. Il. from Buffalo, left Elmira
last night at eleven o'clock for New York.
The train consisted Of one postal car, one ex-
press car, two baggage cars and nine passen-
ger coaches, most Of them Pullman sleepers.
When five miles west of Owego, near Tioga
Center, one of the driving-wheel axies of the
locomotive broke close up to the wheel, and
the entire train, which was going at the rate
of thirty-five miles an hour, was thrown from
the track.
The accident occurred where there was no
embankment. The engine kept Its feet, the
engineer applying the air-brakes as soon as he
felt the shock. The cars were stopped very
quickly, but the forward ones were turned
over and over two or three times, some going
on one side of the track and some on the
other.
The engineer and fireman escaped unhurt.
The postal-car contained four clerks. This
car almost instantly took fire and burned like
gunpOwder. The oil lamps used probably ex-
ploded and added fuel to the fire. Every man
in the car was roasted to a crisp. The remains

pounds, were gathered up and put in small
box.
In the express Car was messenger, Henry
C. Brewer. Of Elmira, and efforts were made to
relieve him. A hole was cut in q side door OF
the car so that he got his head out, but his legs
were fastened by the piled-up mass OF express
matter. The train men tried to pull him out!
but the flames drove them away. They saw
his hair and whiskers burned of, and then he
put his hand up to his eyes and fell back into
the flames. g..
The men in the postal car must have per
ished very quickly, as not q sound came from
the wreck except the cracking Of the flames
The names of the dead are: Joseph Rediny-
er, mail agent; henry c. Brewer, express
agent, Of Elmira; Mail Agent Seybolt, Of
Mount Hope; Mail Agent Ingraham, of Bling
hamton; Mail Weigher Fox, of New York.
The remains were taken to Owego, where an
inquest was held.
