Fnnrfnl Railroad Aaclarnt.

New YoRK, January 1.-THE express
from Chicago to New York reached Albany
twenty-three minutes late yesterday after
noon. Owing to great crowd of legislators
and others who desired to leave the capital,
fifteen additional cars were put on, most
of them being palace coaches. Two extra
engines were also attached, and the train
got under way. 1t was filled with members
Of both the Republican and Democratic
parties, almost the entire New York
city, Brooklyn, Long Island and
Staten Island delegation. in both
houses of the Legislature, which has adj
journed over till Monday. The train be-
came disabled, owing, apparently, to fail
ure on the part of the signalman to warn
which followed at an interval Of a few min
utes, and who knew nothing of the danger
until he was almost on the disabled train,
ard running at Il high speed The two
rear drawing room coaches were tcicscOpeG
and Immediately caught fire from over
turned stoves and lamps. Some of the pas
sengers were caught in the wreck and
burned to death.
The wounded were promptly cared for,
and scattered among the houses in the vi
cinity, and hospitals. About forty were
more or less injured. Accounts vary as to
the number killed, but four bodies were
recognized and five were burned beyond
recognition. The recognized dead are;

som, of the Hoffman House. Park
Vale, of Bennington, Vermont and wife;
Oliver b. Kelly. of Pennsylvania; man
supposed to be Rev. +. Marshall, a book of
sermons bearing his name being found in
his effects; Miss Maude Brown, Of New
York.
Railroad officials say the cause of the
stOppage of the train was arrangement of
the air-brakes as the train stopped, The |
rear brakeman was sent back with danger
signal to warn other trains and had time |
enough to go half a mile, but it seems had |
gone but a short distance. lie appeared |
Immediately after the accident and has not |
since been seen. The body, supposed to be |
that of n clergyman, is now supposed to be |
that Of Father Michael, a Catholic priest OF
Troy. |

Ihpsc Straw Bonds.

WAsHINNeG, January 11.-Elevcn cases
of alleged straw bondsmen in the Star
Route cases were called up in the
Police Court to-day. Counsel for all
the accused and some of the accused
themselves were present. Special Attorney
Bliss represented the government and in
the opening address said the accused par
bidders had represented bondsmen, and
the bondsmen had represented themselves
as worth certain sums in real estate.
The fact was the bonds were abso-
lntely worth less, though in some
cases there might have been held
some property by bondsmen; still there
was literally nothing to support the bonds.
Out of 1880 bonds given, amounting to
over $S,OOO,OO0, there was not value enough
a spawned horse. Cabell, he said,
had acquired some sort of title to
$50 acres of wild lands. In general he
would say that if such bonds were submit
ted or approved the POstmaSter-General
had no power to review them. In one of
these cases he would present the affidavit
of defendant that he had frequently spent
an evening in Boone's office signing his
name to bonds and iustifylng property
he knew nothing about; that for this service
he would receive $2j or $50, and he had

Judgment and business management
are carried up to the credit of the
editorial staff by some people, and
they will persist in remitting sub
scription money to an editor. 1t is
hard for those at a distance to imagine
the highly organized cooperation Of
many diverse abilities that go to make
a supreme periodical, and people are
surprised, when a great editor dies,
that the genius of Journalistic conduct
does not at once forsake his periodical.
They find the same alertness,
the same direction, the very same
favor as before, when, according
to their notions, all of this should
have been buried with Caesar. once
met a lady who, being an enthusiastic
admirer ofthe Plymouth pastor, was
utterly disguised to find that certain
beautiful editorial articles in the
Christian Union, which she had been
enjoying, were not written by Beecher
at all, but by a mar named M" Of
whom she had never before heard.
The characteristic quality of a period
ical does not adhere in one man. 1t is
the resultant of many diverse gen.
fuses, an affect like that seen in a rich
window by the sunlight passing
through various media, SO arranged as
to form a complete whole. The chief
editor gets all the credit of this as a
sort Of offset for having to take all the
blame; but neither credit nor blame
belongs wholly to him. The great
mass of gifted and effective workers in
periodical literature necessarily go
down into the waters of forgetfulness.
They work with the heartiest enthusi.
assn, though the admiring pub
lie will never know them, but will
clap its hands in applause of some
body else. Only when a great editor
like Nj. Holland dies, and the maya
zine goes straight ahead in the path
carefully marked out by him and his
associates, do they realize that there
we're other men of noble gift at work
as we'll as the noble leader. Even then
the amount and variety of individual
gifts that are used, absorbed, de-
voured, to make a magazine great new
er enters into the Imagination of the
public which enjoys the repast but
doesn't wish to be troubled with com-
plex ideas as to the modes of prepare
ton. 1t is, indeed, one chief aim Of a
master journalist to make his periodi-
cal so great that its quality will not
depend on any one mans life or con-
tinued service.
