 It is great wrong that this danger should constantly imperil the lives of thousands of people who daily cross the track at this place, and the feeling against it is undoubt- edly growing intense. Action toward re- moving it seems difficult to effect. but it will come speedily when some fatal accident takes place. Why should we wait for a sac rifice of life. Reason and judgment decide against it's continuance, and no weak feeling of sympathy for the corporation on account of it's poverty nor misguided efforts to fight it's battles against other corporations should be allowed to stend in the way of the remo- val of this alarming public danger The public safety should be paramount to all other considerations

 The Derby Railroads Dangerous Cross-

 When some terrible and fatal accident oc- CUTS at the Derby railroad crossing at Custom House Square the citizens may possibly awake to the imminent peril to which they are now exposed at that place. By rare good fortune no such accident has occurred there for two or three years past, but the nGgr0so escGpes, which are frequent, are rarely ever chronicled. zz.-z. ,.-.5s,
 Being an almost daily eyewitness of the occurrences at the crossing am painfully aware of the frequency of these narrow es-; capes, and await in great dread the fatalities which are sure to come To-day (Wednes- day) an ice cart was smashed into splinters and chips through the earelessness of stu pid switchman, and the driver escaped only by one of those wonderful proyidences which seem quite miraculous. The witnesses of the scene did not soon reeover from the shock and horror at seeing the helpless man drawn many feet in the wreck of his wagon, expect

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The acting CON-
missioner of Indian affairs, Indian Agent Berry,
and three Uncompaghre Ute chiefs held a
conference to-day with Secretary Kirkwood
at the interior department in relation to the
selection of lands under the new treaty for
Uncompahgre Utes. The Indians expressed
desire to have lands apportioned them
adapted to grazing and agricultural purposes,
under the new treaty, they are to be located,
there is not sufficient land of this character.
After the Indians had made known their wants
the conference adjourned to meet tomorrow,
when, 1t is expected, the department will be
prepared to offer them assurances that in the
selection of lands their wants will be satisfied
Secretary Blaine to-day addressed
note to the British legation on the subject
of the false reports sent by the acting British
consul at Philadelphia in regard to the pre-
valance of disease among the swine of the
Western States. The secretary reierates the
statements made in Evarts' note of the 7th Of
March, that all means of information at re-
course of the department concur in showing
the late published report as wholly without
foundation, and sends copies of resolutions Of
the Merchants exchange Of st. Louis and
the chamber of commerce of Cincinnati, ex-

among the swine, showing the condition of

Aoree to an Entra Session.

WASHINGTON, March 9.-The President and
Secretaries Blaine and Window have finally
been brought to favor an extra session OF
Congress, and unless something developes to
change the present status an extra session will
be called about the middle of May. The Re-
publicans can get the control of the House
and very probably the Senate too, so that the
present organization will do the Democrats no
real good. Malone refused to-day to join
either party caucus. and no word from him yet
indicates what he will do. A feeling in favor
of making compromise in the ORGANIZATION
of the Senate with the Republicans is growing
strong among Democrats, who say the specta.
Gle of strife In the Senate over the control OF
that body must be avoided. If Malone con.
tinues to play silent game il is not improb.
able that the Democrats and Republicans will
agree on some basis of organization.
