THE ADAMS RUN DISASTER.
BurbrIdge and Osborne Dead-Ta1k
of Criminal PrOsecu'iOn-Mans-
field's Friends Alarmed-Craft's
Injuries.

CHARLESTON, January 25-Two more vic
tins of the Savannah Railway horror have
died from injuries received in the collision.
W. H. Burbridge died last night. While the
Rev. L. K. Probst was reading the funeral
services over his remains this evening, the
Rev. j. NJ. Green was administering the
last consultations of religion to the depart
ing spirit Of George E. Osborne,
who died tonight, making the fourth
victim OF this terrible accident. The body
OF Burbridge was sent to his home iu Hop
kinsville, KY, by the train to night. 1t is ac-
companied by bis aged mother, who bad has
tened here upon receipt of the terrible news.
Osborne, who was born here, leaves a wife
and child and a widowed mother in very
destitute circumstances.
jury Of inquest was organized to-day,
and, after viewing the body of Burbridge,
adjourned over until Monday, when
thorough investigation will be had.
Osborne was conscious to the last, and
before dying made an ante mortem state
ment to his attorney. 1t is almost certain
that a criminal prosecution will be insti-
tuted in addition to civil suits against the
railway company.
SUPERINTENDENT Mansfield, who was in
jured In the accident, is in a precarious con-
ditiOn. His physician does not think that
he has received fatal injuries, but his friends
are alarmed at the fact that he has not
moved since he was brought home on q
stretcher, and fear the worst.
Craft. the colored mail clerk, who was in
iured at the same time, is down with both
feet crushed, fractured knee and broken
arm.

1t is reported from Valparaiso that a
treaty of peace has been concluded be-
tween Bolivia and Chill by which BO-
livia is to surrender her territory along
the Pacific coast and break of relations
with Peru. The coast line of Bolivia is
only $50 miles long, including the sinu-
osities. There are only few points Of any
Importance on it-Antofagasta, the ter
minus of railroad connecting the coast
with the mines and smelling works in the
mountains; Cohija, small port of no
very considerable value, the difficulties
OF transportation from 1t by mules and
llamas across the desert and mountains
being enormous: and Tacna and Are
quipa, which have become the
principal channels through which
Bolivia receives the products of
other countries. The loss of this
coast line will make Bolivia an inland
country whose communication with the
sea will run hencefOrth through Chilian
territory, and Chill will become the i'm.
mediate neighbor of Peru on the coast.
If this piece of news is confirmed, it
would appear that Chill has done what
our Minister Hurlbut in his proclama-
ton on international law in general and

BRIEF NEWS SUMMARY.

The house OF Mr.. Mabley, in Newcomers
town, OHIO, was burned recently, and two
of the children persisted.
Anti-polygamy meetings were recently
held in Chicago, St. Paul, Portland, Maine,
and other cities, at which speeches were
made by prominent gentlemen.
The trial of G. A. Thomas, indicted for
false pretense in a graveyard insurance
case, at Buffalo, ended suddenly, one Of the
jurors, Anthony Smith, developing symp-
toms of insanity.
A special from Greensburg, Penn, says
that James Ward, the alleged murderer of
an old maiden lady named Means, has been
captured. The murder was committed seve-
raj months ago, and was a most brutal one.
The arrest has created intense excitement.
The Denver post Office affords an example
OF the enormous growth of mail business In
the West. During the last five years the ex-
penses of the Office have increased only one
half, while its receipts have nearly quadru-
pied. The money order receipts were over
81 100000 last year, against $530,0O0 in
1879.

Coming Financial Issues


The country is just beginning to expe-
rience now what the Republican predict
ed two or three years ago would inevita a.
bly, come about. Financial issues have
come to the front again in the delibera-
tiOns Of Congress and assumed greater
prominence than almost any other ques-
tions in despite of the fact that 80 many
shOrt-sighted wiseacres have thought
that the successful accomplishments of
resumption put an end to financial dis
cussion. To a great extent that did
divert the popular mind from the
finances, but it has always been easy to
see, and is now being manifested to
everybody, that the course of events
must in time bring up new questions Of
finance quite as important as was that Of
resumption. Congress has not been
able to escape the consideration of these
new questions, and they are forcing
themselves upon that body rather
than being themselves forced forward,
80 that it happens that active and earnest
discussion is beginning there before there
is any particular revival Of interest in
these matters among the masses of the
people. Issues Of such grave and imme-

that financial topics will divide with the
tariff issue most Of the popular attention
at the next Presidential election. 1t is
possible to revise and remodel our whole
financial system before the next Presi-
dental campaign begin, but, since there
remain little more than two years
before the issues Of the campaign
will shape themselves, it will be seen
that it is hardly probable that Congress
will do more in that time than define the
positions of the two parties. There are
three important phases of the coming
financial discussion. and Congress is
going at them backwards, 30 that its
present mode of action gives no promise
of speedy conclusion. Our currency
system is ESSENTIALLY a temporary expedi-
ent, and thus opens two phases of
financial interest, the future policy of
the government with respect to the
national bank circulation and with re,
spect to the legal tender Treasury notes.
The third phase is the silver question,
in which there is least of all any chance
of speedy settlement, since the policy of
this government is necessarily dependent
upon the action Of the other great ma.

THE ARKANSAS EMIGRANTS.
A ROse-COlOred Story from One of
the Mum ber-.What the ExOdusters
are Doing.
Greenvtlle Is. Cl Ne,cs. 19th.


Eight colOred emtgrants left here yester-
day for Arkensas, and among them was a
man who had recently been to that State,
where he remained for three weeks. He
has returned 10 remove his family, and ex-
poets to start with them on Tuesday. He
also says that fifty more emigrants from this
county will 90 with him. He says that most
of the cOlOred people who left Laurens,
Greenville and Edgefield locate near place
called MorriltOn, about fifteen miles the
other side of Little Rock. When questioned
by the representative of the NelOS in regard
to the course pursued by the travellers when
they reached Arkansas, he replied they were
met by a land agent, who took charge of
them at the depot where they dsembarked
aud provided for them by accommodating
them in large buildings which have been
erected for the purpose near the prfffci-
pal points at which the final stop is
made, until some arrangement is made for
the purchase of small lot of ground by the
emigrants. In cases where they are with
out means, they are housed until they can
obtain work, which is said to be very plenti-
full and remunerative on the farms in that
secti n, the wages for hands being from
twelve to twenty dollars per month, board
included. This man, N. D. Bryan by name,
seemed to be very intelligent for a negro,
and evinced his ability to read and write
with much facility. He said that the plan
of working farms in Arkansas was very
similar to that in vogue here, and that the
lien law of Arkansas was precisely like the
law here, and that in many instances those
who had gone out there from this section
were already securing provisions by placing
liens upon their crops for the next season. He
claimed that the great advantage which Ar
kansas has over this State was that no guano
was required to raise the crop, and that the
yield per acre was very much larger than
here. Bryan seemed to be very candid and
said that some of the people who had left
this State were very much dissatisf fed and
wished to return, ut be insisted that a
large majority of those already there were
quite contented with their new homes. He
said that a renter was never given more
than twelve acres of ground at time, as
this was considered sufficient for m to
cultivate. This man says that he went out
to investigate Arkansas for himself before
taking his family, and he is apparently sat
isied with the information he has secured
by the trip, placing implicit confidence in
what has probably been told him by land
agents Interested in disposing Of property
which they have for sale. Bryan says that
one bale and half an acre is the average
yield In the section to which he is going.

Two graudsons of John G. Calhoun
make significant statements in the Feb
ruary Century, in Mr.. Edward Atkin-
sons striking paper on the Atlanta Cot
ton Exposition. After the war, one of
them moved with the family slaves on to
a rich Mississippi Valley plantation. and
succeeded in placing himself and his
freed laborers in position of prosperity.
He details the difficulties under which
Southern Planters like himself have la
bored, and he expresses unbounded con-
fidence in the ability of the freedmen to
support themselves in comfort. One of
the grandsons, in referring to the elder
Calhoun's belief that the two races could
not exist on the same soil, except in the
relation of masters and slaves, made this
surprising remark: eff my grandfather
and his associates had known as much
about the negro as | know, and could
have had the same faith in his capacity
for progress which have attained from
my own experience, there would have
been neither slavery nor war"
