DENOUNCED BY CoLORED CLERGYNEN.--
DnUor, October 1S.-The African hetho-
dist Episcopal Conference, embracing sew
eral OF the western States, and now in SEES
sion here, to-day discussed the recent de
cision OF the Supreme Court on the civil
rights bill. The judges action was de-
bounced in the strongest terms and several
lncendiary speeches were made, one of the
bishops declaring that IL the negroes rights
were thus trampled upon revolution
would be the result.

New York.

The news from New York Is OF the most
cheering kind, and affords good reason for
expecting the Empire State to he carried
next month by the Democrats by large
majority. Not such majority rs thsy had
last year. Of course; but enough to make it
sure that the State will next year vote for
the nominee OF the National Democratic
party for President OF the United States.
Virginia must not fail to keep company
with New York.

politics had nothing to do with it. Besides,
Philip Page was Democrat, and had voted
the Democratic ticket for four years past.
The difficulty grew out Of dispute about
some change. with which Philip Page bad
nothing to do, he being brought into the
affair inadvertently. No trouble whatever
Is apprehended. Philip Page was a good
servant and an inofiensive and peaceable
citizen. His family has the sympathy OF

Glucose in Sugar.

A well known chemist suggests two
methods of ascertaining the presence
of glucose in sugar. 1t has been found
that a saturated solution of starch su-
gar in methyl alcohol will readily dis
solve the cane sugar, but not starch
sugar, and thus, in order to test any
sample for the existence of glucose, it
is only necessary to prepare such a
solution and pour it upon the suspect
ed sugar; if the latter be pure, it
will entirely dissolve, but, if
starch glucose is present, this
latter will remain as a white,
chalky sediment. The other process
is still more simple; that is, it is only
requisite to examine few grains of
sugar and of starch glucose with a
low-power microscope, to observe at
once a great difference between them.
The cane sugar is found to be dis
tinctly crystalline-the crystals clear,
shining and transparent, resembling
rock candy; on the other hand, the
particles of glucose are dull, Opaque,
and have been aptly described as re-
sembling pieces of tallow.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Terrible Loss Of Life-0nly One
Survivor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. ga Te-
hachipa dispatch states that the coro-
ner's Jury found a verdict in train
disaster case that the victims came to
death by the neglect of Conductor
Reed and Brakeman Alton. The ver-
dict has not yet been approved by the
coroner. Two of the bodies are iden-
titled as those of Kingan and Fred.
Gronfoot, discharged soldiers, of COM
pany H, Sixth cavalry. John +. Cas-
sci, one of the sleeping car passengers,
arrived in the city yesterday, and he
reports as follows: L think it must
have been but few moments after
the train started that 1 woke up and
realized we were in danger, but how l
could not tell. We were running along
the mountain side at a f arful velocity
and in few seconds crash came and
over we went, and thousands of splin-
tiers and pieces of debris implicitly
buried $. AS quickly as possible 1
was on my feet working to make an
exit through the masses under which
we were buried, to save myself and
other occupants of the train. Every
where found myself hemmed in by
masses of wreckage. My wife,I think,
was killed by the first shock, as her
hands were cold when I touched
them and my calls remained unan-
swered. / cleared passage way
along a hog chain for some seventeen
feet till l reached the place near where
I Miss Squires was imprisoned. Iheard
her scream for succor. She told
me she was injured but not able to
get out of the window. The flames
began breaking through where l was
working, and l was driven back to
where knew no hope for
escape existed and retreating merely
to avoid fiery death. / went back
to my wife for the fourth time and
now could only grasp her hair. Again
and again L called to her for some
sign of life, but all to no purpose. The
gas and flames now drove me from
her side, and, as a last effort. buried
myself in debris when hope had left
me. Men working from the outside
suddenly, but accidentally, came upon
me and drew half of my body out,
but there l became lodged, our COM
bined efforts proving unavailing to
free me from the debris. Finally /
succeeded in dropping through a hole
made for me by the rescuers, and was
the only one who ever reached the
light of day from under that heap of
ruinS

Gigantic Rascality.


The Washington Post editorially
takes the position that the govern
ment has no desire to convict the star
route barons. 1t says: "The fact is,
these star route trials are combina-
ton of equal parts of farce, fraud and
oppression. There has been but little
hope and hardly any expectation on
the part of the prosecution that a
clear verdict could be got for the gov
eminent in any of them. If Brady
has been guilty of the conspiracy he is
charged with, he has also been guilty
of bribery or the acceptance of a
bribe, and such an Indictment could
have been tried in a week. That,
however, would have made short
work of this case, and seriously
abridged the term of Mr..
Bliss employment. If Mr.. Dor
sey, while senator, had been in
terested in the contracts for which he
was called to make appropriations he
could have been indicted and tried
therefor separate and apart from MIR.
Brady or any of the other defendants.
That, too, would have been quick
work, and would have shortened Mr..
Bliss 500 per day employment. 1t
was determined instead to attempt
the difficult task of establishing a con-
spiracy. and this for over year, the
government, represented by Messrs.
Bliss and Kerr, has been pretending to
do. In tue meantime, Mr.. Bliss has
received for his services, occupying
not more than one fourth or one half
of his time. the enormous sum of
nearly $4,000. Outside of this vast
haul the expense of the futile star

WACO, Jan. 18.-Several months
ago the district court of this county
granted a divorce to c. F. Badt and
and wife, giving their two children to
the latter. Badt removed to Lam
pasas, where he married again and
shortly after returned and secretly
took the two children away. Mrs.
Badt procured a warrant for Badt,
charging him with kidnapping, and
to-day he was brought in from Lam
pasas and lodged in Jail. The novel
question is presented how far decree
of divorce between the husband and
wife sunders the paternal tie and
whether the father in this case has
been guilty of a graver crime than
contempt of court.
To-day an attachment was received
here for George Cornelius to appear
instanter as a witness in the Ben
Thompson case at San Antonio, bat
Cornelius, who lately resided in this
city, could not be found. 1t Is be-
lieved he has gone to Denison.
The city council is in session to-
night to wrestle with the market
house question. Six years ago the city
granted exclusive market privileges
for twelve years to certain parties, and
an effort is now being made to inyali-
date the original contract and adop&
the free lease system. II promises to
be long contest ii the city council
decides to make fight. Cox
