TRUTH: Senator and acting Vice
President Edmunds is only human.
He drinks only Apollinaris water.
And he attentively reads the dis
patches about the fishing exploits of
President Arthur and his propinqui-
ty to alligators. He is especially
given to heart beats now that he sees
the President is to take passage in
one Of our own navy vessels. Is
there not a lottery of accidents as
well as of assassination?

A Careless 'tPIug''-Ee Forgets His Orr
 ders and sends Two Trains Crashing
 Into Each Other-S'x Men Roasted in
 The Burning Debris
 TROY, Aug. Tt is now believed that the collision of freight trains this morning on the Troy and Boston road at Pownal, Vt. ,re- suited in the death of six persons as brother of Train Dispatcher Bruce was on the train and has.not been seen since. Those known to be dead are Charles Marden, engineer, resi- gineer, of Troy; John W. Batnesi fireman, of Troy; George Warner, conductor, Troy; John Barrett, North Adams Immediately after the collision the trains and the freight took fire and burned rapidly. Despatches were sent to Troy and Superintendent Gran. dalI with little delay started out with 8 wrecking train. At the Troy and Boston office in this city the treasurer said an engine was sent up from this city on the wrecking train to assist in subduing the flames. The fire had spread to the dry grass and undsr- brush in the vicinity and the engine barely succeeded in preventing it's prog ress. The flames of the burning cars were not quenched until Q late hour this afternoon. It is believed that all the bodies are burned to cinder. Johnson, the plug operator, immediately on news of the accident reaching him, said: T was up all night and was tired out. l never thought of the order. will commit suicide" Nothing has been seen or heard of him since. The feeling against him is intense. Searching parties are securing the country for him and the people say they will hang him if he is found. There is but little reliance placed in At TO-kk. hI. I- were totally destroyed. The engine Kemp was Q new one, having been in service less than year. Train No. 6 had forty cars, of which seventeen were saved intact, but most of the others were demolished or burned. Thirteen of the twenty-six cars on the train No. were saved with their contents SuperintendentCrandal thought about twenty cars would be entirely consumed by the flames The cars were loaded with miscel- laneous freight, which was scattered in all directions, the Hoosac river, near where the collision occurred, being filled with sacks of grain and boxes of merchandise. It is thought that the track will be cleared by to- morrow at noon as Superintendent Crandall has large force of men at work removing the debris. He telegraphed to Troy for lamps to be used to night. The place where trains collided is said by the employees of the road to be the worst spot on the road. It is near & bend about mile east of Pittsburg Junction and is hemmed in by hill on one side and the river on the other. The high way which leads to North Pownal runs with iu few feet of the track and the road is completely blocked by the wrecked cars Teams were compelled to turn out and go through the fields.
 The bodies of three of the victims, those of Mark Sutherland, Charles Warden and Howard Bruce. were brought here to day. The bodies were horribly burned and disfg ured and the only means of recognition was by key rings, watch charms, etc. Johnson, the derelict operator, was seen near the wreck this evening.

The League In Amerfca-To Inaugurate
 Warfare against English Aristocracy
 on American Soil.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The council of the Irish National League of America held pro- tracted secret session at Coney Island to-day and thus far have succeeded in keeping their proceedings unknown to the press. There was Q full attendance of members. The chair was taken by MT. Sullivan, the presi- dent of the league. Messrs. Patrick Egan and Matthew Harris were present. It has looked out that the lesguers seem to think that the English aristocrats and corporations who are buying immense tracts of land in the southern and western States and in the western territories need watching and ex- posture. The fact has been reported to the president of the league that these English aristocrats and corporations are purchasing enormous tracts of land in America with a view of drawing from these colonial possess ions such profits as will keep up their tot tering fortunes Sat home" and thus make up for the losses already experienced from thslast agitation in Ireland, and those antic- ipated from like causes in England The

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

The Pnbltc BiIlz-A Statement of the July
 ReductiOn-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-Mr. Jehn M. Car son, clerk of the Committee on Ways and Means, has furnished the following analysis of July: The close of the first month of the new fiscal year shows 8 reduction in the public debt since July 1st of sixty eight mil lion dollars in round numbers. This reduc- tion, however, is not real in the sense that obligations to the amount named have been discharged during the month, the debt col umns showing no change worth noticing since the beginning of the month. The re- duction is produced by the payment of about three million dollars for accrued inter est and an increase of about S, GOO, GOO in the available cash balance, which is now $165, 727, ,196. The treasury has now nearly $303, ,00O. 900 in gold coin and gold bullion, an increase during the month of nearly $5, ,000- GOO. Against this gold fund there is outstand- ing $6O, ,O0O, GOO in certificates an increase of $361, 1000 for the month. The receipts for the month compared with those for JuIy 1882, show 8 falling of
 
 this loss being mainly in the internal revenue receipts. The operation of the new tax laws, by which the tobacco tax was reduced one half and certain other taxes abolished, will explain this loss. In custom receipts there was an increase over last July of nearly one million dollars, caused by the liquidation of duties on merchandise which was held in bond until after July 1sE in order to secure the benefit of the reduced rates under the new tariff act The annexed figures show the receipts for July compared with the cor responding month of the preceding year Customs for 1883 were $2o, ,909, ,2S9, internal revenue for 1883 were $S, 8S4, 2S6, miscellaneous for 1883 were $2, POT, ,226; total $32, ,OOO, 800. Customs for 1882 were $19. .95O, 636, internal revenue for 1922 were $12, 2,255, 166 miscellaneous for 1882 were $4, ,222, ,922; total $36, ,328, 724.
 Several witnesses were examined o-day before the Hill committee relative to work upon the Chicago public buildings but noth- ing startling was brought out. Chairman New says to night that the investigation will probably close tomorrow, as the defence have but one or two more witnesses to ex anime.
 During the month of July just ended g. 925 original invalid and ,501 other pension claims were received at the pension office. Of these 3,115 were an increase invalid claims.

No WaverinG Yet-A Critical Day for the
 Operators Passed In Safsty-The Str1ks
 CTS Paid by the Brotherhood.
 NEW YORK, August 1.-To day was gener- ally conceded to be the final point of endur- ance on the part of the striking telegrfphers and linemen.1 It was their usual pay day and should not the brotherhood make provision for their support during the next two weeks it was feared that some of them might waver and return to the service of the companies On the contrary no such action was taken Soon after the meeting was called to order it was announced that any member who needed money for his own or family's support could have it on application. Secretary Van Or den had the list of membership before him and as each applicant stepped forward said tHow much do you think you shall require?" Some members who had held positions as managers and chief operators of the compa- nies and so had an opportunity of saving g little declined to receive any stipend at all, de- olaring that they could do without any al lowance for g month to come. Others who had been less proyident were paid at the rate of $7 per week and the married men whose O0oCo NSSA SSROO4HAAy gratified by receiving 8 more than usually large allowance. At the close of the meeting every operator felt that they had been fair ly if not generously dealt with. The assess ments made by the Knights of Labor, the Labor Central Union and the eight other trades societies wkich should have been delivered this morning did not ar rive, but other money supplied their place. The reason of the money delay was that the remittances must first be received in Pitts burg, Pa, duly receipted and checked for, and then forwarded through no less than two different channels to this city. A picked nine of the brotherhood base ball club of New York will play in Albany on the 8th inst, and it is expected that as much money will be realized from this event as from the games in New York and Philadel- phia- The New York nine will be explained by Operator Fitzpatrick, whose pitching in Philadelphia yesterday resulted in the defeat of the Philadelphias by score of 22 to 6. Nine new members, including one manager operator were captured from the Western Union main office this morning and initiated into the brotherhood.
 A test message sent from New York to Boston to day to ascertain the rapidity of the Western Unions service was exactly two and one-half hours in getting through. One of the most direct proofs of the duplieity of the Western Union officials is furnished to- day by an affidavit of Michael Parry, strik- ing lineman, who testifss that he was offered $1, ,OO0 to cut certain of the Western Union lines and to swear the offence on one of the strikers.

l young, active, determined men who are now I at the head of the league in America are de- i termined to seize upon every opportunity to ] make the English aristocracy unpopular in l America until the Irish people get their own 1 lands and home rule. They say that the purchasers of the tracts of land they refer to have not become American citizens and do 1 not intend to do so They do nothing and propose to do nothing to build up. American industries. They simply want to draw lm- mense sums annually from America to
 build up or to perpetuate the English aristocracy and the young men or 1 the league apparently have resolved upon the inauguration of 8 war upon these people which will drive them from America The league appointed committee of lawyers and capitalists to collect statistics showing the quantity of lands thus purchased, whether or not the purchasers have become Ameri can citizens, and such other information as may be necessary for their purposes. These
 reports will be edited, published and eircu-
 lated, and such an agitation upon the for eign land grabbers will be inaugu-
 rated as in the league's judg- ment will resist in legislation in the western States and territories prohibiting foreigners from owning lands. It is said the English aristocrats are already hated in
 the West because of their seclusiveness and
 the fact that they have acquired valuable properties to the exclusion or bona hde set- tiers. Some predict that the league is fan
 ming flame of indignation in the western
 States and territories which will result in
 treatment of the English aristocratic land
 owners which will not differ very much from
 the treatment extended by the western set
 tiers to the red men and to modern "land jumpers" as the western men designate owners of large tracts of land which are
