COLLISION.
PITTSBURGH, Nov. S0.-Sherti, after 2
O clock p. m. a serious collision occurred
on the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago
road near New Waterford, O., between an
accommodation due here at O. clock D..
m. and a west bound freight train. Tho
accommodation had just pulled out of the
depot, and had not attained very hiph
rate of speed when the collision occurred.
or the accident would have been more dis
astrous. As it was, j. Shauee, Jr., of Alle-
gheny City, fireman on the passenger
train, was instantly killed, and engineer
Vim. Fitzsimmons and John Snyder were
seriously hurt. One passenger, whose
name could not be learned, was badly
bruised. No one else was injured. Both
engines, the baggage car and three freight
cars were badly wrecked. The cause of
the accident was misunderstanding OF
| orders.

THE Joint Committee on the Library
Building, &C., have decided that they
are Confined in their action upon the sub
jet of library to the plans presented by
the three architects selected by them; in
other words, that all the architectural
brains of the country are compassed in
these three heads. The committee thinks
the law under which il acts binds them to
this decision, The writer of this once
rubbed the binding of Blackstone's Com
mentaries, and has read the law under
which the committee exists, and he can
find no warrant in it for the committees
conclusion. Neither the letter nor the
spirit of the law justifies it, if it does, the
sooner it is amended the better.
These three architects may be great, in.
dividuilly and collectively, but they do
not embody all the ability of the country.
What Congress and the people want is, the
best arrangement possible for the library,
and it may be that the plans for such an
arrangement may come from someone else
than the favored three" of the commit
tee,

prcs,acn, Arthur and the Banjo.

From an Exchange.
An interesting story has been circulated
for some time that President Arthur was
,levotedly attached to the banjo, aud spent
his leisure moments drumming after the
manner of King David with his harp.
While standing on the porticO of the White
House this morning your correspondent
was introduced 10 the Presidents son, n
manly well. dressed young fellow, probably
about eighteen years of age. After the
usual interchange of c0urtesics young
Arthur was asked for the iacts in relation
TO the banio o story. He laughingly replied !;
THAT is made up, guess, for | don't think
father ever secs a banjo, except when he
visits a minstrel show, and he has not at
tended performance of that kind for SOW
cfal MONTHS lie was informed that the
banjo was getting to be very popular in
gonteel society, and responded that he had
heard of 1t, but in his visits among Wash
ington acquaintance he had failed to de-
tect any of the Instruments. The frank
manner of the young man makes him a
very pleasant talker and in the course of
his conversation he said that he was to re-
turn to college in New York next Monday,
and that his sister would also return TO the
metropolis. The question of killing time
came up, to which he quickly replied that
as long as there was a piano and billiard
table in the White House he would not
suffer from ennu. He seemed much
amused at the comments Of the press
throughout the country in regard to his
personal appearance and stated that he
had not as yet been correctly described ac.
cording to his idea.

Gracefully dropping on one knee, he

If THE amount of money passing through
an officials hands and the number of peo-
pie with whom he has to deal fix the i'm
portance of his Office, the Commissioner of
Pensions ought to be elevated to Cabinet
rank at once. An officer charged with the
disbursement of hundreds of millions ought
certainly to be recognized the first rank.
As things are now the Pension Bureau is
the most important Office within the gift OF
the appointing power.

We were at Rockland and the steamer
was blowing off, making noise enough to
wake up policeman. A man and a
woman stood talking on the wharf. He
had his ear bent down and she was yelling
something in his ear when the steam sud-
denly shut off, just in time for every one
between Rockland and White Head to hear
that woman say, and don't forget, John,
to put on your thick, red drawers Sunday
And if John did forget it, it was not be-
cause he did not hear what she told him.

An inquisitive child, so small that he

BROTHER ORTIZ is still unhappy. But
the Speaker seems placid. Perhaps it is a
difference of temperament. But, again,
may be it was thatvote of III to ST. That
was a very considerable vote of confidence,
