definite response to the remarks OF the men,
bers of the delegation, but they came away
with the impression that the rival claims Of
the States and sections of country east of the
Rocky Mountains will absorb all the Cabinet
positions, and that there is very little chance
at pre.ent for any appointment from the Pa
cihc coast.
Garfield's Cabinet.
WASHINGTON, March ID = The best.in-
formed opinion as to the composition of Gar

Lincoln, of Illinois, for Secretary of War !;
Levi p. Morton, of New York, for Secretary
of the Navy; Senator Window, of Mime

Disastrous Railroad Accidents.
Macon (Mo.), March 2d-The passenger
train on the Hannibal and st. Joseph Rail
road which left here at 5 o'clock yesterday
morning, was thrown from the track just this
side of Bevier, six miles west of this city, by
broken rail. The engine, tender, baggage
car and two coaches were thrown completely
from the track down an embankment ten feet
in hight and were badly demolished, except
the smoking car, in which were forty-nine
emigrant passengers, forty of whom were
women and children. This coach kept an up
right position, but plowed its way into the
ground some distance from the track. The
other passenger car and one sleeper were
thrown from the track the first being turned
over, while only the forward trucks of the
rear sleeper went off. In the last car tie
passengers were not awakened by the acct
dent, and only learned thereof when some of
the wounded were taken in. There were
nearly 100 passengers on the train, and that
no lives were lost and SO few injured is re-
markable.
A SECOND AND MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
As soon as possible after the wreck a
wrecking train left Brookfeld, ia 'r5y-feur
miles west Of Macon, for the scene of the
accident, but as train it did not reach its
destination. About thirteen miles east of
Brook6eld the engine and the two fiat cars
crossed Brush creek bridge safely, but the
wrecking car proper, the cabOose and pas
senger COACH on which were physicians and
other citizens of Bro9kfeld coming to the
passenger wreck, broke through and went
down thirty feet in mass of broken timbers
and manned humanity. OF those on the cars
which went down, DR.. Woods, of Brookfeld,
Frank Lock and George Zurick, of Hannibal,
Mo-, and four others, were killed, and of the
fifty persons on the train none escaped
without injury. No train has passed
east or west since the accident occurred.
FURTHER PARTICULARS.
ST. LOUIS, March 2d.-The information
received here regarding the accidents yester-
day on the Hannibal and st. Joseph Rail-
road is very meager. but a dispatch from
Kansas City gives the following list of casu-
alities at the Bush creek disaster: Killed
w. L. Hallet, Dr. o. II. Woods, George
Zurick, G. Gordon, Arthur Jury, Frank G.
Lock Ia brakeman, and John Conuors.
James Conway was wounded in the heai
seriously, and about twenty others were
more or less seriously hurt.
The Coming Worlds Fair.
New YORK, March 2d.-The Commercial
Bulletin notes the Chicago I115unes advice
to the Garden City TO have nothing to do
with the Worlds Fair in 1888, and saws If
Chicago is not to be our legatee, then the
question naturally recurs, what progress is
the committee making, or have they come to
a dead halt? Complaint is made that they
do not evince q proper disposition to take the
public into their confidence, though it is the
public they must look to for support, or they
would have had ere this series of mass
meetings to work up popular interest in a
country like this for imparting momentum to
an enterprise of national importance With
out too closely criticising their policy in this
particular, it need only be said that as it
would seem to be settled now that Central
Park cannot be had, nothing remains but to
make the best Of the Inwood site, and to that
end the committee would do. well TO make up
and push ahead. If it cannot infuse the en-
thusiasm of our people, it is idle to expect a
sympathetic response elsewhere or from the
country at large.
