RAILROAD HORROR IN MEXICO.
A Train Thrown ln.O Chasm and
Burned-The Killed 2I4, Not In.
cludinE Employees and Women.

CHICAGO, June PA special dis
patch from the City of Mexico says the
accident which occurred on the More
los Railroad late in the evening of Fri.
day last loses none of its horror through
the receipt of fuller and more accurate
advices. The scene of the catastrophe
was on the river San Antonio, near the
village of Malpais. For some time
this TART of the country has been swept
by fierce storms, swelling the creeks
into torrents, and laying waste many
fertile fields.
The bridge spanning the river at the
point mentioned, although known to
be unsafe, was still in Use when the
train, bearinga battalion of soldiers, at
tempted its passage. The result was u
crash as the undermined supports
gave way and the engine and cars were
hurled headlong down the chasm.
Scarcely had the magnitude Of the dis
aster become apparent, when a new
horror was added. In the freight vans
comprising a portion of the train, was
consignment of alcohol. This took
fire, and the consequent explosion
contributed much to the loss of life.
The few who escaped uninjured ut
once applied themselves to the rescue
of their unfortunate comrades, but it
was some hours before the exact extent
of the disaster became apparent. 1t is
now known that 13 officers and 1872
privates were either killed outright by
the fall or roasted to death, while 80
Others sustained injuries of more or
less serious character. The train was
entirely consumed. When information
of the appalling calamity reached
Mexico the excitement was unbounded
and immence crowds thronged all the
new centres, anXiously awaiting the
particulars.
Never in the history of fhe republic has
so frightful disaster been chroniced,
and in occurance, it is feared, may still
further prejudice the popular mind
against railway enterprise. However,
Los Gringos," as the natives term ali
ont side barbarians, can come in for no
share of blame. Thu Morelos Railroad
is a narrow guage line, built by the
Government subvention, and is entirely
the work of Mexican engineers. 1t was
first opened to the public on June 18. In
to the loss Of life already men
toned it appears that the engineer and
fireman OF the train were Scalded to
death

Special Correspondence of the REPUBLICAN
The new English and American ma
chinery with which Walkers old mil
is being refitted is fast arriving and be-
ing placed in position. We understand
that it will be ready for operation in
about four weeks, and will give EN-,
ployment to large number OF hands.
With the starting of this mill, business
will receive a new impulse and go on
uninterruptedly for long time.
Speaking OF business Stoner and
Thompson have laid in a stock of fire
works, flags, etc, with which the boys
can celebrate the Fourth of July, in
complete disregard to all city laws pro-
hibiting the use of the same.
We notice John Lowther the young
man whose leg was run over by large
wagon, several days ago, has SO far re-
covered as to be able to drive six horses
again. With load of four tons beside
the weight of the wagon, the wonder
is that his leg was not broken.
At this writing p. III. with the wind
from the west, the thermometer indi-
Gates $50 in the shade.
The concert at Mt. Salem church next
Tuesday evening by the original New
Orleans University Jubilee Singers
promises to be well attended. Having
heard them at Asbury church few
weeks ago. we can heartily recommend
them as filling their programme to the
letter.
The committee Of st. Joseph's Bene-
fetal Society have completed their ar
rangements for their annual Fourth o.
July picnic in Squirrel Run woods
and have engaged one of Philadelphia's
most famous orcbestras to discourse
sweetest strains Of the latest and most
poperlar music, whilo Rising Suns
tairest sons and daughters trip in harm
oney and tune on the light fantastic toe.
Besides dancing there will be other
games and amusements. Refreshments
in abundance. City cars will run to
and from Rising Sun every nalt hour
from early to late on the Fourth of

VIRGINIA'S FACTIONS.
A Rupture Likely TO Occur in the
state Committee at he Meeting

To-day.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-The Repub-
lican State Executive Committee of Va.
will meet at Richmond tomorrow, in
accord ance with q call issued by Chair
man John +. Lewis. MIR. LIE Wis first
called the committee to meet on June
u, but subsequently cancelled that call
and issued another for meeting on the
2Sth.
A quorum of the committee, however,
net pursuant to the first call, and, hav-
ing depOsed Mr.. Lewis from the head of
the committee, decided to call Repub-
licAn State convention to meet at Staun-
Ton Ill August to nominate candidates
for Governor, LieutGnant-GovernQf
and Auditor-G General. The call for a
State convention was issued by Gen
WiCkham, who was chosen Chairman
at last Tuesdays meeting. In his
call for State convention, Gen. Wick
ham rtScrihed that none should par-
ticipate in the election of delegates, or
be chosen as II delegate, who would not
pledge himself to sustain Il straight Re
publican ticket In order that the con-
trol OF the convention may be secured 10
he Wickham faction, it is provided
hat All returns of the election Shall be
forwarded TO Chairman Wickham, VINO
has thus constituted himself a return
ing board with power 20 throw out all
delegates who are not known to be op-
posed to the Liberal movemeu- and in ia
Vor of the proposed Wi;kham -,Jorgen-
Son-Dezendorf convention. Mr.. Lewis
was depoSed from the bead of the Stlte
Committee because be was nominated
for Lieutenaut-G0vernor by the Liberal
Party and by a convention in which
over 100 cOlored men participated as
delegates. The meeting of the State
Committee tomorrow is likely to be
lively and interesting, as both factions
will participate. 1t is probable that
Mr.. Lewis and his friends will refuse to
recognize the action of the Wick
ham faction at the meeting held on
Tuesday, and will insist on Mr. Lewis
acting as Chairman. The indications
are that there will be a rupture in the
committee, and that those wko refuse
to aid Gen. WicKham in his purpose to
help the Bourbon d 'mOcracy bv nom.
mating so called straight Republican
ticket, will organize to assist the Lib
eral movement.

WHITE RIvERJUNCTIoN, June 2S.-
The continuous cold and dry weather
this month, SO far, has seriously affect
ed both the English grain, corn and hay
crops. Reports received from various
sections Of the State represent the pre-
sent appearance of corn, oats and grass
as less promising than for many years.
The total rain fall during the month has
not exceeded, in the most favorable dis
tricts, three inches in depth. The
water in the Connecticut river has rap
idly subsided, leaving a thousand of
the first drive started by the Connecti-
cut River Lumber Company lodged on
bars, islands and the banks of the river
for distance Of more than fifty miles.

A Hard Blow at Jefferson Davis

The history which Mr.. Davis gives l.
the ahleSt and most comprehensive ac
count of the Secession movement and ot
the Confederate war which has yet ap-
peared. Judging it by its merits alone
it will not soon have a rival; and Tor
readers generally it will always possess
exceptional value and authority from
the fact that the author was the Presi-
dent of the Confederate States. In the
South, the history will, it may be, find
harsher critics than in the North, for in
the South especially in South Carolina,
there are not few who hold Mr. Davis
guilty of the death of the Confederacy.

SERMON BY REV. 7. OeWlTT TALaAGE.

Yesterday being the tirst Sabbath OF
the new year, DR.. Talmage very apDrO-
priately spoke to his congregation upon
the topic OF their spiritual welfare, TAX
ing for his subject, Your Age" lie
opened by saying that persons who were
truthful about other subjects were given
to lying concerning their age, but it was
not literal answer he desired, he sim
ply wanted to know by what route the
members of his congregation were meas
uriug their existence.
He dwelt upon the einnumerable pleas
ures which a Divine Providence grant
ed to all between childhood and old age,
but said the man who measures his lie
on earth by mere worldly enjOyments is
a very foolish being.
He then proceeded to mark out the
various methods by which persons were
apt TO measure their lives. Some by
their sorrows and misfOrtunes. Others
by the amount OF wealth they have ac-
cumulated-but there are many who
measure their lives by their moral and
spiritual development and by the
amount OF good that they have accom-
plished in this world.
He cared not what a persons advan-
tages or disadvantages were, each one
had "a field to culture" "a harvest TO
reap "a soul to save"
TIe closed by entreating each one, il
they had not already made Preparations
for eternity, to DO so at once, for no one
knows at what hour he may be taken

advocates hope to hold the balance of

prophesy that their favonte will be
second choice Of both. They number at
