THE heavy Atlantic express train on
the New York Central and Hudson Riv-
er railroad, due in New York at seven
o'clock on Friday evening, stopped to
repair a damage to the brake just after
having rounded sharp curve below
Spuyten Duyvil. There were thirteen
cars in the train, the last six of which
were drawing-room cars. In front were
two passenger coaches, two small cars
and an express car. Among the passen-
gers in the drawing room cars were
many members of the Legislature.
While the express train was standing
on the track local train from Tarry-
town, running at apparently full speed,
crashed into the rear of the standing
train. The two rear drawing-room cars
were telescoped. They then caught fire
and were burned. All of the ten or
twelve persons in the rear car perished
and some of those in the second car.
Among the dead are Senator Webster
Wagner of the n. Y. Senate, and also a
young couple who were married the
day previous and were on their bridal
tour. The accident occurred on account
of failure to flag the approaching train.

Rich Men.

William FL. Vanderbilt's wealth,
measured in solid gold, would, it is
said, weigh ninety-three tons. His
income, according to the same esti-
mate, is 81 per second, or S8,400 per
day. Jay Gould's wealth must be
quite as much, and there are, per
haps, fifty persons in the country
whose possessions would amount to
Sl0,000,000 each. In France there
is great deal of wealth, but it is
better distributed than in the United
States; for, outside of the Rothschild
family, there are no such fortunes in
France as in this country. Our fore.
fathers thought they had, provided
against large accommodations when they
decreed that landed property should
lie divided equally between the chill
dren of the original owners; but the
vast increase of personal property
through the operations of modern
commerce has concentrated capital
in very few hands. This will be a
cause of trouble some time, as our
population grows larger and jeal-
ousy is created on account of the
disproportion between the poverty
of the many and the vast fortunes
of the few The only way to pre-
vent collision is for the rich to re-
cognize the fact that they must make
good use of their wealth, regarding
it as trust for the benefit of their
fellow>men. -Demomrest Monthly.

A Down Town Merchant,

Having passed several sleepless nights, dis
turbed by the agonies and cries Of a suffering
child, and becoming convinced that Mrs. Wins
lows Soothing Syrup was just the article needed,
procured supply for the child. On reaching
home and acquanting his wife with whathe had
done, she refused have it administered to the
child, as she was strongly in favor OF Homoeo-
pathy. That night the child passed in suffering.
and the parents without sleep. Returning home
the day following, the father found the baby
still worse and while contempiat ng another
sleepless night, the mothr stepped from the
room to attend to some domestic duties, and left
the father with the child During her absence
he administered portion Of the Soothing Syrup
to the baby, and said no hing. That night all
hands slept well and the little fellow aWoke in
the morning bright and happy. TIE mother
was delighted with the sudden aud wonderful
change, and although al FIRST fended at the de-
ception praetieed upon her, has continued 10
use the Syrup, and suffering cry ng babes and
restless nights have disappeared. A single tria
of the Syrup never ret IA led to relic the baby
and overcome the prejudiees of the mother.

The Spread of Communism.

The anarchists who have been
making a disturbance in the prov
inces of France, have now carried
their communism influence into the
capital. Every morning placards
are torn down by the police in Paris
signed IN the name OF The Revolt
tionary Dynamite Committee" Two
additional regiments have been sent
to Paris, ON account of the threats
eDing strike of the workmen of the
Faubourg St Antoine. If this strike
should take place there would be
10000 insurgents in the streets.
The agitation can be traced directly
to the nihilist committee in Switzer-
land. The leading spirl5 of
this committee, is Prince
Krapotkin, Russian, who
resides at Savoy since his expulsion
from Geneva. From this last 1amed
city the controlling influence which
moves all the Revolutionists of
Europe seems to emenate Seven
revolutionary organs have been pubs
lished in France since February,
1882. Most of them have been sup
pressed at once. There are now four
socialistic schools in France-the
Anarchists, the Possibilist Collec
twists, the Revolutionary Collective
lists, and the Blanquists. These all
unite in common programme which
is, the abolition of individual pro-
perty and communism. The An
archists are the leading faction. They
propose to realize their dreams by
violent revolution which will destroy
all property and all authority. The
Possibilists wish to gain their end by
legal means, at the polls, etc. A
manifesto circulated recently by the
Anarchists contains the followin g:
Politically, we demand the aboi>
ton OF state; that of governmental
authority of all forms whatsoever,
whatever be it's name or it's exercisers,
and its replacement by the free fed-
Grafton of free producers, spontane-
ously associated; In other words,
anarchy. Economically, we insist on
the abolition of individual property
and of the authority of the capt.
talists, so as to put at the disposal
of the masses all social wealth, in
order that each one, working accord
ing to his abilities, may freely COM
sumo according to his necessities; in
other words, Communism
The Anarchists are headed by
'sCitizen Emile Gautier" and ''Citi-
zeness Louise Michel" Tt is ru-
mored that almost every working
man in France is in some way con,
nected with some one of their circles.
They follow the plan of the Nihilists,
which consists chiefly in the use of
dynamite and nitro glycerine Iso-
lated cases of outrage are probably
all that need be feared from them, as
the government will be strong
enough to prevent serious outbreaks.

A Terrific Storm Predicted.

Stone Virgins, LID, the astron-
omer of the the Canadian govern
ment, has written to President
Arthur repeating his predictions of a
terrific storm in March next as pubs
lished some time ago and suggest
ing that the President call into mar
Dor all United States vessels on the
seas at that time. He says the
storm will be the greatest ever
known in this country. It will be
felt first in the Pacific Ocean, next in
the Gulf of Mexico, then being re
fected by the Rocky Mountains will
cross the Meridian of Washington
at noon of Sunday, March II No
vessels, he says, will be ~afe in the
storm outside the harbors. The eff
feet of the storm, combined with the
planetary motion, will cause an overs
flow of large tracts of country along
the Atlantic coast, while the section
of country along the eastern slope of
the Rocky Mountains will be devas
ted by winds.

The Mormon Question.

From letter dated November 3,
at Salt Leke City, to the New York
Herald, ex- Senator and Commission
er Paddock is quoted as saying that
''this Mormon question is a deeper
study than I thought it was" The
trouble with the working of the
Edmunds bill is, it is ascertained,
that it does empower the commission
to hold an election, hence it conflicts
with the Territorial statute. The
total registration is, say, $4,000 Of
which about 5000 are Gentle. The
$4,000 Mormons registered are about
equally divided 10 sex, but of the
$4,000 disfranchised, at least three
fourths are women. About
l 1000 Gentle ladies, or non-Mormons,
have registered. Another feauture
presenting an obstacle of great
weight is the foreign immigration
made up as it is of ignorant peas
ants who, never having owned foot
of land in their native country, are
given or sold upon nominal terms
sixty acres of land by the Mormons.

Money in Railroads.

It is curious to notice how vast an
amount of money has been put into
railroad construction in this country
the present year. It is estimated by
competent authority that not less
than S300,000,000 in cash has been
absorbed in railroad construction
the present year, and that within
the last two years, $500,000,000 has
been so expended. At the close OF
1880, we had a little over 10000
miles in operation, but by the close
of the present year, we shall have
about 10000 miles, an increase OF
over % per cent il two years. The
growth Of the railroad system Of the
country for the ten months ending
November l, was enormous, being
estimated to be 9,143 miles against
5,763 miles constructed in the COR
responding period of 1881 For
the month OF October, LOGS miles
were reported as completed, almost
wholly in the Northern States.

1t can easily be comprehended

The high authority invested

measures that will so ar
rest this generous presence as TO
eventually suppress it entirely. II is
by common consent the one most
vexatious questions IN American
politics. All laws passed for its
suppression have this far proved
unavailing. In the session of the
Senate in FEBRUARY as a vote was
taken by sections on Senator Ed
mund's bill, which, like the law of
1862, is final in it's provisions, but
directly aimed against the crime of
polygamy-

last
The Republicans were unanimous

not solidly against it, though Demo-
cratic Senators of prominence voted
may" on the ground that the prece-
dent of interfering with the right
OF suffrage at the polls, when the
voter had not been tried and con
victed of any crime, harbored dan
ger to the institutions of popular
government. If any bill can be
framed, however, that will reach the
desired end of exterminating polyg-
amy, without imparing the funda
mental rights of citizens in other
parts of the country, it is certain it
will receive the almost unanimous
support of Congress at any time.
Legislators must bear in mind, when
debating this question, that, since
constitutional government was
exceptional and unexpected evils
have been dealt with by
exceptional means. Our consti-
tuition will never be honestly perfect
until provisions against this abomi~
nation are interpolated, as in the
case of slavery. The various amend
ments on this account, and the sub
sequent acts that were passed, as
late as 1871, to enforce their opera
ton, is convincing proof that the
constitution can be made to bend
and meet this new emergency. Let
Democrats take the points of this
subject well to mind. They need not
fear to assist in enacting the most
stringent measures for it's suppress

Ostrich farming bids fair to bee

ter to raise ostriches. They are very
healthy and few diseases are known
to exist among them. The mortality
among them is only 10 per cent, and
they live to the age of eighty or one
hundred years. The older they grow
the better they lay and breed. A
full grown ostrich is from four to
