ATROCIOUS DEED.

ST. ALBANs, VT, Nov. "a train
on the Mississippi road, due here at
10 :25 this forenoon, was thrown
from the track near North Enos-
burg this morning by a misplaced
switch, and the engine precipitated
into the river. The engineer, Thorn
as Flood, jumped, and had both legs
broken and skull fractured. The fire.
man, Fred. Hanver, went down with
the engine and was killed. There is
strong evidence TO prove that the
switch was turned on to the gravel
track and then locked by a brakeman
on the South Eastern in revenge for
being forbidden to ride on the train
without pass. Mr.. Flood is hurt
SO badly he is not expected to recov-
er. None of the passengers were
hurt. The only thing which saved
further disaster was the breaking of
the rail, which threw the passenger
cars on TO a sand bank. The water
at that point is deep enough TO cover
the engine, and the result would have
been most frightful had the whole
train gone in.

gineer hurt in the train wrecking
near North Enosburg, yesterday,
died this morning, making the second
victim. A man named Pelkie, from
Glenn Sutton, Pennsylvania, had a
leg broken, and two other passengers
were slightly hurt, all by jumping
from the cars. Edmund Ellis, who
was arrested last night, has confessed
to Constable Gross this morning that
he turned the switch, but claims that
he thought it was a gravel train COM
ing andthe switch should be turned.
At the hearing at Enosburg Falls to-
day, before Justice Tenney, of ST.
Adams, Ellis waived examination
and was committed to jail without
bail for trial next April. Ellis was

this morning it was feared he might
be mobbed. The feeling here is very
intense, especially among railroad

Brooklyn, as indeed it does now, the

Indifferent lecturer. His subject was
Numbers and he endeavored to
show that the great majority of peo-
pie are wrong. Unfortunately for
those who went to hear him, they
could scarcely catch word of what
he had to say. His lecture, how
ever, is mastery exposition of what
really constitutes public opinion, and
the manner of its control, especially
in its relation to this city. The les
son which he desired to convey was
to acquire the habit of discipline and
respect for the constituted authority.
He deprecated the false smartness

Mr.. Arnold is Herbert Spenceris
counterpart-not in person, for no
two men could be more dissimilar-
but in the views the latter presents.
Mr.. Arnold has typical Scotch face,

ing, that he is trying to shrink away
from what he is saying, yet few men

/ am glad to hear that the Art

will be presented that have before
been publicly exhibited, and among
those who have consented to loan
valuable paintings for this purpose
are the Astors, the Vanderbilts.
August Belmont, Mrs. Roberts, and
number of others.
Many citizens will regret General

ter all. On Saturday, M. Julss Fer
ry, acting as French Minister for
Foreign Affairs, announced his in
tention to ask the Chambers to vote
an additional credit of S50,000,000
for the Tonquin expedition. This is
accepted as the result of determin-
alton to resume operations at once on
the Red river. The Chinese Legation

confidence was given to the Ministry,
threatened to demand their passports
if the Ministry followed up the vote
with request for an additional Ton

of $40, 000, 900. But this rate of decline
will not probably hold good during the
year. The expenditures are also declin-
ing, because the pension payments are
unexpectedly less, and because the inter
est charge is less. The surplus is still SC
large that the reduction of the debt has
been 10,304 900 the past month, an6

THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

Ine electlOnS On tuesday last re-
suited, in the main, as a victory for
the Republicans. Massachusetts beat
Butler by majority of ten thousand,
after an exciting contest. The great
wonder is that any man, smart and
wicked as Butler even, could control
such a following in Massachusetts.
He is effectually snuffed out, howev-
er. New York, which went Demo-
cratic last year by 200,000 majority,
this year elects Republican Secre-
tary of State, and has large major
ity in the Legislature. New Jersey
is Democratic by 5000. Pennsylva-
MIA wheels into the Republican line
again by large majority. Connec-
ticut, also, which went Democratic
last year, reverses the majority, and
chooses Republican Legislature.
All the western states where elections
were held are Republican by a large
majority. Maryland is Democratic,
and Virginia beats Malone, read
juster, by several thousands. This is
virtually Republican defeat, as
Malone voted with the Republicans
in Congress. On the whole the look
is decidedly cheering for the Repub-
licans, and presages victory for them
in 1884. The following figures show
the result in different states:
Observation-Disclosures, 100, 161 ;
Butler, 150,074; Almy, Prohibition,
1858. Legislature-Senate, p Re-
publicans, ID Democrats f; House, 1877

ture strongly Democratic.
New York-The latest returns
from the state give the Republicans 6

The Republicans also nearly succeed
