SENATOR CAMERON is advertised to op.

Michael. This, presumably, upon the
ground that the Marshal's brother, vii.

Eastern District Of Pennsylvania, was the
Independent Republican candidate fol

As it got colder and colder, and trains
were reported delayed by the weather, in.
quiries were sent to various telegraph sta
tions along the B. 4 o. road as to the state
Of the weather there. From Clarksburg
came the response that the thermometer
registered degrees below zero ut a quarter
TO one this morning. The operator ut
Fairmont responded that there was not
thermometer within mile Of the Office,
but il was cold. The Grafton man said
Don't know what Il thermometer is, but
it's pretty awful d-n cold" At Cumber-
land they were having very mild vista
tion, the thermometer ut one o'clock this
morning standing ut l3 degrees above zero.

Several train men were slightly scratched

CAUSE OF TIE ACCIDENT.
The accident is attributed to misuuder-
standing of Instructions by the conductor,
J. II. Stevenson, and Engineer Carrow OF
the freight. The passenger train,
Il Louisville 4 Washington iast express
No. 4, was four hours and forty-iive min
tes behind time. The conductor and ell
gineer Of the freight was between Hinton
and Cannclton and received instructions
at Linton to use four and half hours
Of the passenger trains time. But by Il
fatal mistake both men were under the
impression that they were entitled 10 five
and n half instead Of four and half
hours, hence the accident.
THE SCENE OF TIE WRECK
The scene Of the wreck is Immediately
outside OF the portal Of the tunnel,
on a curve, where it is i'm.
possible for the engineers to observe
the approach Of the trains in time to check
up. The speelot the passenger was about
twenty milesan that OF the freight twelve
miles per hour. All possible cure and at-
tention were extended to the sufferers.
The distinguished passengers on, the
train were United States Senator Williams,
Of Kentucky, and Robert Bonner, Of the
New York Ledger.

WAsHINoroS, December mo business
Of public Importance was transacted by the
House today. The Indian Appropriation
bill WAS under consideration ,ior awhile,
but was finally passed over. The total
amount Of the appropriation provided for
in the bill is S5,20S, ,055, being S274 200 less
than the appropriations for the current
year. and 81, l,5l67 rs less than the estimates.
In the Senate, at the close OF the morn
ing hour, Mr.. Beck called up his rcsolu-
ton for an investigation OF the assess,nents
during the last campaign, and said that,
having but little personal knowledge on
the subject, aud thinking that a discussion
in advance OF the aseertainmcnt OF the
facts Improbable, he would content him
self ut prescott with asking for II vote on
the resolution.
Mr.. Hale thought that il the conduct OF
the Inst campaign WAS TO be investigated
by the Senate the Investigation ought to
extend to both parties, therefore he
offered u substitute, setting forth the
ng,,lcs of members OF the Congressional
executive committees OF both parties, re-
citing allegations that the Democratic com.
lnittee had levied contributions on liquor
dealers, brewers and other associations,
and directing the Committee on Judiciary
to investigate thssa charges as well us those
made against the Republic committee.
Mr.. Beck said the substitute proposed to
investigate matters over which, Congress-
had no control. and was evidently intend
cd to embarrass the legitimate iuyestiga.

ruE CALIFoRNIA ELECTION.

The election to be held in California
this Fall is important. A full list OF
State officers is to be chosen, also two
Justices Of the Supreme Court, an entire
Legislature Of both Houses there being
no hold-over Senators), six members OF
Congress, under the new Apportionment
bill, which will doubtless become a law,
and county officers in every county OF
the State. The debris question, which
occupied the attention Of the Legislature
all last Winter, may be expected to cut
something of a figure on the State OH
GERS, but members Of the Legislature
will be nominated on both sides devoted
to local interests. Among the most m
portant matters which will come before
the next Legislature will be the appor-
tionment of the State into Congressional,
Senatorial and Legislative districts, the
passage of a county government act
which will stand the test Of constitution
atty, and the Sunday law question The
latter issue will be the most generally
interesting and important one in the
campaign. Candidates for the Legs
lature will undoubtedly be pledged for
or against the repeal of the Sunday law,
which the Courts have declared to be
constitutional. All other candidates be-
sides will be more or less popular as
their views are pronounced in regard to
this law. 1t is hardly an exaggeration
to say that the consideration of the Sun
day law in California will be the most
potent factor in the election or defeat OF
candidates, in that State, generally with
out regard to party. And it is quite prob
able that an anti-Sunday law Legislature
will be elected. This law has very much
the look and spirit of a religious perse-
cution, and will, no doubt, be fought as
such. Apropos Of which, the Christian
Advocate, a w%ell-known Methodist jour
nal, says: Eve cannot sustain it be-
fore the people if we claim it as a re-
ligious institution"

FISHING IN SOUTHERN WATERS
A Monster Shark and His Capture
Lucky Negroes.
From the Albany News and Advertiser.

hhtsCmy HOCSs
From the Albany News and Advertiser.
Heading across the bay to st. Simon's
Light, the man in charge of the wheel
hailed Mr.. Tiff, and directed his attention
to something ahead of us. The object
turned out to be a sharks fin, SO large as
to be q matter Of wonder to the sailors
aboard. The boat happened to be pro-
vided with a shark line-a manila cord
about a half inch thick, with a large hook
tied to a trace chain. A small piece of
beef was quickly put on the hook, a foat
put on the line and then cast out, and
then the line made fast to the capstan.
AS we neared the fish the fin
disappeared, and all eagerly watched the
float. Suddenly the line frightened, the
float disappeared, and the Roadway of the
boat was checked, and the man at the cap
stan yelled out, "He's hooked 70 / have
been fishing, but l never saw the like OF
that. The fellow rose to the surface of the
wave and looked at us. We had about rs
yards of the line out by this time, and
actually, in a second he made a rush and
jumped clear over the bow of the steamer.
The ladies Their got under shelter and all
hands helped to hold that line. The fell
low, when he failed to eat US up, made for
the ocean, and fairly made the waters
foam.
After about miles run he began to tire,
and the boat was headed for the beach on
Jekel Island. Gradually we pulled in the
line until the boat touched the beach, and
then n Of the hands waded ashore taking
the end Of the line with him, which he
made fast to a stump, and came back for
help. Four Of us got ON shore and COM
menced to pull Mr.. Shark ashore. 1t took
all we could do, and two rifle balls to boot,
to land him. When I tell you that he
measured II feet 1Oh inches from tip to tip
you will know what q job we had.
