TIE Democrats have nominated
one of their strongest men for State
Treasurer. and it now remains for
Republicans to decide whether they
will assist in his election by divid-
ing their vote. Apart from the open
avowal of Mr.. Wolfe, it must be eyi-
dent to every Republican that he is
running only to defeat General Bal
ly. He has no earthly chance of
being elected, and no hope of receiv-
ing any but Republican votes. A
vote for Wolfe is simply a vote for
Noble, the Democratic candidate,
and might as well be cast for him
directly. The Democrats cannot
defeat General Baily, but Republi-
cans may by casting their ballots for
Wolfe. Goose yel

Charles S. Wolf is tie name of the
very previous young man who has
anouced himself the boilers candi-
date for State Treasurer in Pennsyl-
vania. He IS :...5 years old, q lawyer
by profession, and il helias any
weak points Tlaek of self.appreeia-
ton certainly is not one of them, for
bis proclamation asking for votes is
largely made up of tributes to his
own independence, conscientious
ness and integrity. His reason ior
being candidate is a very simple
one. He has no fault to find with
the regular nominee, who is q man
above reproach, d gallant soldier
and an upright citizen; but he wants
him beaten because he is a friend oi
the Camerons. Mr.. Wolf is evident
ly 4 sore-headed ass, but we are glad
he has entered the race, for we shall
know..when the votss are counted
just how big and how little is the
faction in Pennsylvania which holds
that political duty begins and ends
with hating the Camerons.-lfan-

Dangerous Freight.

CoUSclL BLUFFS, Iowa, September
27.-At 5 O'Clock last evening, just
at the close OF the Garfield memori-
al exercises, this city was shaken to
its very centre by q terrific explo-
t sion. Instantly great volume OF
smoke was seen TO ascend i'll the
southwestern part of the city. In
vestigation of the cause of the ex-
plosion disclosed the fact that on
Saturday last carload OF gun pow
der, billed as common blasting pow
der, reached here over the Quin-
cy, Rock Island and Pacific on its
way to Denvcr. Col. The Union
Pacific company, however. refused
to receive the dangerous freight and
the car was return to the Rock
Island yards. where from some
cause It exploded W , fearful force
last evening. The cCncussion de-
lmolished the compan 8 round
house and repair shops OF brick, and
freight house, frame besides forty or
| fifty freight cars, and dug a hole in
the ground fifteen, feet in diamater.
Large windows N all parts Of the
city were shattered to pieces pieces
of plastering thrown from houses and
havoc strewn in all directions
Windows were broken by concus-
| sion in Omaha on the opposite side
of the river and rs far as Missouri
valley junction, twenty miles north
| OF S. The loss will foot up several
hundred dollars. Richard Van Hou-
ven and his daughter Nellie were
seriously injured by the force of
the explosion, but, SO far as known
this morning, no fatalities occurred.
Several persons, however, are re-
ported missing.

DETROIT, Men,. September 27.--
A passenger train OF the Canada
Southern Railroad, due here about |
o'clock this morning, while being
transferred across the river from
Amhersburgh to Grasse Isle, met
with an accident. The transfer
boat was run with such force against
the dock at the Island as to throw
forward the sleeper, which ran
along the track on the boat, and
plunged headlong into the water III
the slip. The passenger coach inn
mediatcIy behind il was also forced
forward, and the forward trucks
went over the end of the boat. The
coupling between this coach and the
one behind did not break, however,
and the car hung over the edge of
the boat at an angle of forty-hve
degrees, and one end just touched
the water. The engines of the boat
were at once reversed, and as it
backed away from the slip the sleep
er which had fallen into the fire
turned overon its side, the trucks at
tached to it having gone TO the bot
tom. All was confusion The pas
sengers in the sleeper, who clung to
the side out of the water, tried to
break through the windows, and
cried for help. The sixty or seven
ty others who were in the passenger
coach behind were panic-stricken
and rushed pell nell for the end Of
the car furthest away from the wa
ter. Some ofthem clambered out at
the sides and fell into the water
Others of the passengers who stood
on the deck of the boat saw the
danger of those in the stream and
plunged in to rescue them as soon
as possible. Passengers and train
men ciambered on the top Of the
coach that was floating in the water,
broke open the windows and pull
ed out the dripping occupants.
When all in sight bad been rescued
it was found that of the fourteen
passengers in the sleeper three were
missing. The darkness Of the night,
the confusion. and the fact that
nearly all the passengers were stran-
gers to each other, make it possi-
bic that all were rescued, but it also
leaves painful uncertainty as to
whether there are not several per
sons drowned. Six passengers went
down with the car, but were rescued,
with the exception of a man naiiid
Boone, who occupied section ii,
A careful search for him was made,
but he had not been found at last
accounts.
