afflicted mourners of the dear depart

discarded by the convention cf under
takers(?), which met, last week, in Phil
adelphia, and the new title is ''funeral

cost of the additional dignity will not be
charged in the bill, else will the shutting

Terrible Disaster at the New York and
Brooklyn Bridge.

y terrible disaster occurred on Wednes-
day. afternoon at 4 o clock at the New
York anchorage of the Brooklyn Bridge
The bridge was crowded with people,
and crush occurred at the head of
flight of stairs leading up to the plank
walk of the span between the anchorage
and tower. Men, women and children
were trampled by the throng and thrown
down the steps in a mass. Twelve per-
sons are known to have been killed, and
26 injured, while several others are
missing. A woman who was ascending
the lower flight of steps stumbled and fell
on the landing. The crowd pressed upon
her and she shrieked The bridge officer,
Frederick Richards. seeing her danger.
elbowed his way to the spot and lifted
her up. The crowd closed upon them
both and they went down. With des-
peratc effort Officer Richards got upon
his feet once more, dragging the woman
after him. She screamed again in de
spair and fright. and the crowd above
and below pressed forward to discover
the cause of the commotion. The crash
Immediately became fearful. Those on
the approach below the steps were car

stumbled, and unable to resist the pres
sure behind. the crowd passed over them.
From above, the crowd coming from
brooklyn was carried to the edge of the
struggling mass below. The frightfu
crush was denscr than ever, when, after
nearly fifteen minutes. Company A. of
the Twelfth Regiment. body of hardly
a score, led by Lieutenant Hart and Ser
geants Cou.dock and Costello. marched
up the approach toward BROOKLYN. The
yells of the crowd7attracted their atten-
ton. At the foot of the steps a wall of
human bodies was piled high. The
dense mass surged about it and in it the
soldiers Saw two policemen vainly strur-
Cling against it. Sergeant Conldock took
in the situation at a glance. At his word
of command his men scale the fence and
railroad track separating them from the
footwalk, and wedging into the mass of
people near the scene of the disaster
drove back the crowd toward the New
York entrance at the muzzle of their
guns. More than half a score were dead
when extricated from the throbbinp
heap. Others were more or less ter
ribly injured. They lay six or eight, and
even ten deep, those in the lower tier
being dead. The clothes were torn from
the bodies of many in the attempt to
get them out All were hatless, many
shoeless and on others the cIythes hung
in rags. Five women, all dead and
trampled into an unshapely mass. were
taken from the bottom of the heap. In
all twelve persons were killed and about
thirty injured.

A FORCIBLE STATEMENT

When the laboring man of this day AMI
generation, falls into dependency, and
laments the fate that consigns him to
life of unrequited toll, let him take fresh
courage when he reflects upon the inf
mite advantages he enjoys aver those who
labored and toiled in the ages long gone
by. In his very admirable address at
the opening Of the great bridge between
New York and Brooklyn, Mr.. Abram 5.
Hewitt, to Illustrate how the discoveries
of science and the progress of civilization
have benefited the working classes, and
promoted the general welfare of man
kind, compared the compensation of the
labor employed in the building of the
bridge, with the earnings of labor en-
pIoyed upou works of equal magnitude
in former ages.
"The money" said he, expended for
the work of construction proper on the
bridge, exclusive of land damages and
other expenses, such as interest, not en-
tering into actual cost, is $4,000, 600.
This money has been distributed in num-
berless channels-for quarrying, for min
ing, for smelling, for fabricating the
metals. for shaping the materials and
erecting the work, employing every kind

P, w. and b. r. r. Changes.

The General Manager of the Pennsyl
vania Railroad Company has made the
following important changes in the
official management of it's Southern lines,
the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal
timore and branches, and the Baltimore
and Potomac. l.. X Lodge. the present
Superintendent of the West Chester
Road, will be promoted to the position
of Superintendent of the F., w. and 3.
and the Baltimore and Potomac, his jur-
isdiction extending to the terminus of
the latter road at Quantico, Va, Acting
Superintendent T. A. Roberts. who has
been filling the place of w. J. Latta,
Superintendent of the Philadelphia di-
vision of the main line from that city to
Harrisburg. will be made Division Supe.-
intendent of the Baltimore Central and
the West Chester Roads. Mr.. Latta is
now in Europe, and will return shortly.
|. n. Mills will be continued as superin-
tendent of the Delaware division, in
GLIDING the Delaware Railroad from
Wilmington to Delmar. and its branches,
the Dorchester and Delaware, the
Queen Anne's and the Delaware and
Chesapeake Roads. Mr.. II. +. Kenney
will be made General Superintendent

be located at Broad Street Station, as
now. The other official changes involve
important changes of location. Superin-
tendent Lodges headquarters will be at
Wilmington, whittier he will at once
remove. Mr.. Lodge will occupy the
quarters in the new depot at Wilmington
now occupied by Mr.. Mills. whose office
will be removed to Clayton. Del. where
new building for the accommodation of
his department will be built. The office
of the new Superintendent of the West
Chester and Baltimore Central divisions
will probably be located in Philadelphia.
Under this change the general division,
over which Mr.. Kenney is placed, will be
known as the Southern division of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and will be the
largest in miles of road which it covers of
the general divisions of the Pennsylvania
system. Few if any changes are antici-
pated in the subordinate Offices of the
several divisions.

THE "WORLD'S" PLATFORM,
The New York World has evolved the
following platform:

The New York World has evolved the
following platform:
l. Tax Injuries.
}. Tax inheritances.
,. Tax large incomes
1. Tax the privileged corporations.
G. A tariff for revenue
:. Reform the civil service.
s. Punish corrupt Office holders.
9. Punish buying.
10. Punish employers who coercc their
employees in elections.

on which every shade of Democrat can
stand. Ion it, truly remaks a cotem-
porary, Sam Randall may preach Pro-
lection in Pennsylvania and Ohio, while

Prohibition, While Mississippi shouts
herself hoarse for Free Whiskey; Sam
Tilden and the other money kings OF
New York, may be kept solid, while
the beauties of a tax on incomes are
expatiated upon in the rural districts,
and thus will the Democratic party be
magnified, These extraordinary specta-
cles have been witnessed before, but there
has always heretofore been sort of in
congruity about them. The newly in
vented World platform reduces the thing

stringency rather than toward further
elasticity. He points out that the pro-
posed law not only deprives the wife of
the right of dover, which she may part
with inconsiderately, but takes from the

theirs. 1t is easy to see that such law

Commenting upon the prospect of
reunion of the Republican ranks in the
State of New York, the consumation of
which the judicious action of the Presi-
dent has so materially aided, promi-
nent daily pertinentty remarks that it is
Just as we'll for all concerned to remember
that the wounds given and received by
and from Republicans in this State last
year were not mere abrasions of the
cuticle, soon ceasing to give pain. There
is good deal of human nature in Repub
licans, as we'll as in the rest of mankind
Real harmony among the Republicans of
this State will not be obtained by the
most ingenious devices of politicians who
are insincere and selfish in their talk
about harmony Only the genuine
article will be strong enough to over
come the deep-lying passions and rank
ling memories of the last campaign.
Let there be no mistake on this score
before election.
Undoubtedly good deal of progress
toward genuine Republican harmony has
been made in this State, the past month,
and especially in this city, where the
personal influence of the President has
been most directly felt through the con-
duct of old friends who feel as he has
been acting. Indeed, what the Presi-
dent has refralned from doing and saying,
as well as what he has said and done,
has all been tending toward that state of
mind among the Republicans of both
factions which will be favorable to the
g forget and forgive policy and to the
subordination of all feuds and person.
