immense river hitherto unknown.
Geographers say the river had been
vaguely spoken of by the In

Staley being compelled to await the
return trip Of the Corwin. determined
to see if there was anything in it.
Accompanied by one attendant and
an interpreter, he proceeded from
latham inlet in southeasterly direc-
tion, and struck what he believed the
mysterious river. He traced 1t to it's
mouth, distance of ten miles, when
he saw such immense pieces of float
ing timber as to satisfy him
prodigious length. The Indians
told him they came down it 1900 miles
to meet the fur traders and that the

Indians stated that the river at some
places was twenty miles wide. 1t is
within the Arctic circle, but in Aug
ust, when Staley was there. he found
flowers and vegetation not hitherto
discovered in high latltudes. He has
forwarded his report to the secretary
of the navy and hopes he will be per-
mitted to come back and continue the
exploration.

walked away, and witness thinking

Serious Railroad Accident.

TOLEDO. Oct. Ga serious accident
occurred on the Lake Shore & Mich
igan Southern railway at Pittsford,
Michigan, fifty miles west of here, at
o'clock this morning, causing the
death of three and possible death of
eight people and injury TO one other.
While the freight car was standing at
the station, a second freight train,
which had been following at proper
distance, approached and before it
could be stopped, plunged into the
caboose of the former train, wrecking
it and killing Mrs. Rogers. of Michi-
gan;iMr. Warrick, of Bryan, Ohio, and
a man not yet identified. Mrs. Wea-
yer, of Hudson, Michigan, had her
legs crushed and will probably die. Mr..
Hanford, of Pittsford, leg broken.
The wreck took fire and several cars
were destroyed. The accident was
caused by the carelessness of the men
in charge of the leading train, who
failed to put signals out far enough
to stop the SECOND train,

THE Philadelphia Record, published
in the same city where Sam Randall
resides, and whence he has been sent
so often to congress, has this to say of
Pennsylvania s candidate for the
speakership:
Mr.. Randalls programme for the
next house is understood to be the
total repeal of the internal revenue
system and no legislation on the tariff.
If the majority of the house are in
favor of this policy there is no reason
why they should not make Mr.. Ran
dali speaker, as his qualifications for
the position are unquestionable. But
If the members composing the major
ity believe that if immediate repeal of
the whisky and tobacco taxes is not
sound financial measure, and that the
excessive incidental taxation through
the tariff should be reduced,
they will, of course, choose for
speaker u representative of
their policy. Into contest so
largely involving public interests, per-
sonal considerations ought not to
be introduced. Mr.. RandalPs desire
to be speaker is not to crafty personal
vanity or ambition, for he has twice
held the position, but to promote the
policy which he favors. If the major
ity do not believe in the wisdom of
his policy they would betray the cause
which they profess to defend and stul-
tify themselves by choosing him for
speaker of the house. In such a case
the speaker would not be the organ of
the house, and the congress would be
q failure. Since Mr.. Randall is SO
frank and manly as to his policy if
elected speaker, those who cannot ac-
cept it should be equally frank and
manly in opposing his election.

Heroism Of Miss johnson.

We take the following from st.
Augustine Hla,) paper, Of consider
able local interest, as the most of the
parties have relatives in Austin and
some of them are well known in the
city "Some days ago Miss Leonora
j. johnson, girl under IL years of
age, performed an act of heroism
which entities her to the admiration
of the public. In the vicinity of st.
Augustine, Fla, there is a beautiful
stream of water; with deep and mod
erately swiftcurrent and white sandy
margin, shaded by dense mass of fol-
iage. Here Mrs. A. A. Hildreth, ac-
companied by Miss Lee and Miss John
son, entered the river to take bath,
Miss johnson being the only one of
the three who could swim. Miss Lee
accidentally got beyond her depth
and was being carried down
the stream, when she appealed for
help. but sank beneath the surface i'm
mediately after. Miss johnson has
tened to the assistance Of the drown
ing girl, and having reached her,
seized her with one hand by the hair
as she was sinking for the third time.
With the other hand the young girl
swan with her burden towards the
shore. Mrs. Hildreth had reached the
bank, and, in making an attempt to
render assistance, slipped into the
water and also sank. Miss johnson,
without letting go Miss Lee, caught
Mrs. Hildreth as she came to the sur
face, and, as it was not far to the bank,
forced her back on the land, where she
caught a stubble of marsh grass and
aided the others to reach a place of
comparative security. Soon after a
small boat was sent out and took the
three ladies back to the landing. Miss
Lee was apparently deal for some
time and Mrs. Hildreth was very
much exhausted. 1t was some time
before she recovered from the effect
of the shock.
Miss johnson was perfectly cool
and collected during the occurrence.
The brave act of the heroine in saving
boty the ladies from drowning is
more worthy of mention because of
her extreme youth, and because those
she saved were much heavier than
she was, and therefore difficult to
handle.

TiIden and Hendricks.

MINNEAPoLIs, Oct. 6.-The Tribune
will publish tomorrow a dispatch
from authoritative quarters to the fol-
lowing effect: Despite the many as
sertions, said to be made on authority
from Greystone, that Tilden would not
under any circumstances consent to
be a presidential candidate of the
Democratic party, it may be safely set
down that desperate effort will be
made to nominate the old
ticket, with full knowledge
and consent of both gentlemen most
directly interested. A short time ago
Hendricks made quiet visit to Til
den and effected an adjustment of the
misunderstanding between them since
the campaign of 1876, after which he
disclosed the real object of his
visit by trying to, induce
Tilden to allow his name
to go before the national cOnven-
tion. After an extended conversation,
in which many objections were ad-
vanced by Tilden, they were met and
satisfactorily answered by Hendricks.
and Tilden said: 81 shouldn't mind it,
only for the labor of making another
campaign;" to which Hendricks re-
piled assuring Tilden the campaign
was already made, and he had but to
say the word to secure the nomination.
This seemed to satisfy Tilden. They
parted with full understanding that
the old ticket be put before the people
in 1884. Shortly after Mr.. Hendricks
visit, John Kelly made a journey to
Greystone on the same business, pre-
sumably on a hint from Hendricks.
Kelly assured Tilden he had buried
the hatchet and was anxious to see
the old ticket renominated and would
work hard and faithfully to accom-
plish that end and secure their elec-
tiOn
