A Misplace switch on the w. a. N
RalIrOAd causes n SerAONs Acct.
denI.
A serious accident occurred thit
morning on the Wilmington Il North
ern railroad which came near being at
ten6ed with the loss of several lives, but
as it was only three persons were in.
jured The particulars of the accident
are about as follows:
The passenger train on the W. 81 N.
Il. R., coming south, and due in this
city al 6 45 a. m. left Greenville shortly
after 6 o'clock but had not proceeded
far when the engine and baggage car
were thrown from the track and tor a
few minutes everything was in q state
aOf confusion.
The engineer jumped from the loco
motive, as soon as he discovered that
it had left the track, and thereby re-
ceived but slight injuries. The fireman
remained at his post and was severely,
though not fatally injured, He receiv-
cd several cuts and was slightly burned
by the escaping steam.
Mrs, Ritehie, of Centreyille, lady,
passenger, received severe out on the
1OIShodu Ny Uolnb buIO"u Niol0hGly
from her seat. The other passengers
escaped uninjure1, but we're badly
scared.
The engiue was completely demolish-
ed as was also the baggage car A
number of milk cans filled with milk,
were also wrecked, The conductor
was in the rear car and escaped injury,
Tne accident was caused by mis-.
placed Hitch near BGndley's woods,
this side of Greenville
An examination was made of the
switch when it was discovered that
some misCrcants had broken the lock
and chain, and turned the switch Oft, |
fo- the purpos of Trecking the train.
The lock was broken with large stone
which was found near by, The rascsls |
who did this foul deed should be cap
tured and made to suffer the penalty |
for such an outrage, az the escape from
q fatal accident was miraculous.
AS soon as the accident occurred |
another train proceeded 10 the scene
and brought the passengers to this city
and wOrkmen Immediately prJ to work !
in clearingfaway the wreck.

Indications of n Favorable
Spring.

New York Herald, 6.
The recent weather reports showing
the baremetric and other conditions
over the Northwest indicate that the
exceptionally mild weather which has
marked the winter in the low ATTITUDES
has in some degree prevailed in Arctic
America. On the lst inst. the whole
interior of the country north of the
thirty fifth parallel was covered by a
low pressure area, which no doubt ex-
tended north to the fifty fifth parallel,
including Hudson's Bay. Had in
tense cold with high air pressure then
existed on the Arctic ocean north Of
British America an enormous mass of
cold air would unquestionably have
been precipitated over the latter and
reached US ere this as a big cold wave.
On the contrary, though of course
there was fall Of tempera-
ture as the vast depression Of the
1st moved Eastward, the pulsation of
energy from the Artic zone was com
paratively feeble, and as the cold air
spread on the Sd and 4th over our lake
region the temperatures sank but little
below the freezing point. The indica-
tions would thus seem to be that no
very intense refrigeration Is now going
on over the high Northern portions Of
the continent. The enormous ice
fields and numerous icebergs which for
some days have been emerging from
Davis strait, in the Labrador current,
and swarming over the North Atlantic
steamer routes, bear strong evidence
that no severe polar cold at present
holds in its icy grip the Northeastern
side of the continent, but rather that
some unusual thermal agency has been
dissolviug and dislodging the glacial
masses.
These conditions in the far North

Charges Against General sturgis

Special to Cincinnati CommereiaI.l
WASHINGTON, March 6.-General
Samuel d. Sturgis, Colonel of the
Seventh Cavalry, and Brevet Major
General U. S. army, has addressed a
request to the Adjutant General Of
the army for a court Of inquiry to in
vestigate and report upon the merits
Of the accusations against him, which
have been revived in the form of a
petition to the Senate and House OF
Representatives by DR.. Gessner, Of
Fremont, Ohio, who wishes to have
him removed as Governor OF
the Soldiers Home, which po.
sition he was appointed to
by Garfield last year through the
influence of Judge Advocate General
Swain. General Sturgis commanded
an expedition in May, 1864, organized
at Lafayette, Tenn, for the purpose
Of operating against the rebel forces
under Forrest in Northeast Missis-
sippi, with a view of making a diver.
sion in favor of Sherman's army then

ure. General Sturgis' command was
routed, lost all its artillery and wagons
and several thousand killed, wound
ed and prisoners. He was ac-
cused of drunkenness, cowardice and
incompetency. There was a board
Of investigation, but no court of in
quiry. Recently there seems to be a
widespread movement in the West to
revive the charges against General
Sturgis. In his request for a court OF
inquiry he cites many officers who
exonerate him from these charges.
His appeal is pointed, and closes with
letter from General Grant, written
in 1865, recommending General Sturgis
for the brevet rank OF Brigadier Gen
eral. Grant says: Notwithstanding his
failure at Guntown, Miss, | know him
to be a good and efficient officer, far
above the average of our cavalry Col
onels." Sherman indorsed on the ap-
plication for court of inquiry Febru.
ary %, 1882. II do not think a court
of inquiry at this late day at all neces-
sary, as your record of service in the
army is full, from 1916 to date, and no
charges or imputations from any au-
thorized source exists against you.
The matters complained of are mere
topics of camp rumOrs, reproduced by
