Another Railroad Horror.

Three coal trains, consisting Of three loco.
motives, 80 hoppors and II gondolas, all
loaded and manned by 10 men, started from
Cumberland Md, on the Georges Creek aud
Cumberland railroad for Homecoming, Tuesday
afternoon, all coupled together, one engine
in front, another in the middle and another
in the rear this being the safest way to get
down grades in bad weather. In going down
one of the steep grades, about ten miles
from Cumberland, the trains became unman-
ageable and started down at fearful rate of
speed. On trestle-work the front engine
leaped the track, dragging all the cars and
locomotives after it, aud rolled down a steep
hill 100 feet to the tracks of the Eckhart
branch of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania
railroad. Not one Of the IL men was found
alive Seven dead bodies were found in the
middle of the wreck

This is the week of the greet ice carnival at
Montreal, where skating, curling, snowshoeing,
tobogganing, sleighing, ice trotting ice yacht
ing, and the playing of lacrosse and other
games are INDUCED in by thousands, while
other thousands watch the fun and iollity.
One of the most novel and attractive features
of the carnival is the immense ice-palace on
the river, built of blocks of ice 40 inches by
20, and varying from IA to 20 inches thick as
occasion requires. The roofing is made of
wooden beams, upon which are spread cedar
branches, the ice formation being completed
by playing on it spray of water, which, as
it triekles or pours over the boughs, freezes
into solid masses and ioicles. The spires are
made in the same way. The main structure
covers a square of nearly 100 feet on every
side, with corner towers and main tower 100
feet high. The whole city and the surround
ing country is practically given up to the de-
lights of carnival week. We Americans have
much to learn of our Canadian brethren in
the way of getting all the enjoyment possible
out of our winter weather.

On the first day of this year the relations
of husband and wife in England underwent a
complete change. The Married Woman's
Property act of 1882 is the last in a series of
legislation entirely superseding the old COM
mon law rule that the rights of a wife are
merged in those of her husband. Women
married after January of this year may ac
quire, hold and dispose of real estate and per-
sonal property in the same manner as if un-
married, without the intervention of trustees
wife may now sue her husband, prosecute
him criminally, and even make him bank
rupt. 1t remains to be seen whether or not
this change in the law will increase the bust
ness of the divorce courts

Interest in the stRr-route trial has been re-
vived this week by the testimony of one An
drew w. Moore, government witness, who
tells how he was employed by Miner and the
Dorseys to work up contracts, expedite routes,
ETC., receiving sum equal to one-fourth of
the profits as his share of the swag. Moore
testities that on one occasion, when the sub
ject of expenses was under discussion, S. W..
Dorsey remarked to him that ait takes thous-
ands of dollars out of the general fund every
month in order that We can continue to hold
our influence at the post-ofice department "
Moore also testified regarding one contract
which was let at $4,000, but was expedited by
Dorsey at a cost of $4,000 year to the gov
eminent, although the contractor said it could
not be done because he could carry all the
mail in his pocket.

The Senate post.office committee has report
in favor of the proposed postal-note for small
remittances, to be issued for sums of less than
81 at u charge of three cents The commit
tees report suggests a note about the size of
greenback to be issued on application and
payable to the bearer. Changing the amount
of the note is to be prevented by system of
punching. Postal orders of this kind have
been successfully used in England, aud it is
found that they do not remain in circulation
on an average above six days.

The Democrats are already finding their
patronage n source of contention and division
in several of the states that they carried last
fall. In some of the Ohio cities it is said
there have been 100 applicants for every ap-
pointment, from the highest subordinate Of
fees down to the street sweepers. As those
elected TO divide the spoils must decide be-
tween rival claimants, and are unable to re-
peat the miracle of the loaves and fishes, nat
urally there is trouble ahoat. An observer of
these contentious says the Democratic bosses
are discovering the truth of Gen. Buffers
familiar paraphase of another statesman's re-
mark, that in every appointment he made
item enemies and one migrate" The feeling
Is so strong in some quarters, and the pros
poets for jobbery and laundering in the par
tisan local governments are SO good that
many anxious Democrats fear their party can
not hold next fall the advantage gained in the
late elections. 1t will only be history repeat
ing itself if their antieipations are verified.
Meantime the people wait to see something
higher aimed for in party success than a
scramble for the dispensation of the offices as
spoils.

In the Senate, last Saturday, Senator Ed
munds made a strong speech in favor of the
postal telegraph. He said that if nobody else
would introduce bill for this purpose he
would at an early day, and he desired to give
notice to Wall street that the telegraph would
be built and owned exclusively by the United
States, and it would have no connection what
ever with any of the present systems. He
considered electricity to be as important an
agency now for communication between the
people as the post boy and mail routes have
been. He was opposed however to the pur-
chase of telegraph lines owned by stock job.
bers at inflated prices, and if anything was to
be done he thought that the Postmaster G. en-
eral should be empowered to buy the material
and build lines as best he could.

The James boys were not the last of the
train robbers. An express train on the Cen
trail Pacific road was attacked early Tuesday
morning at lonesome little station 1GG miles
west of Ogden, called Montello, by a dozen
masked robbers who captured the tran-men
and locked them up in a tank-house. But
when they approached the express car they
were met by fuslade from the plucky ex-
press messenger, who kept up brisk firing
until the robbers finally retreated. Such an
issue in affairs of this kind is more discourage
ing to highwaymen than the fate of Jesse
James. There is some romance in death
like his but brave express messenger arm
ed with a shotgun is strong argument in
favor of letting train severely alone.
