The introduction of two-cent letter
postage has had the effect of reducing
the demand for postal cards in mark
ed degree. For Ave years past the
sales of postal cards have steadily in
creased at TN average annual rate OF
fourteen per cent; whereas, since two
cent postage was adopted, there has
been q decided falling off in the con-
sumption as compared with previous
years and the department. has notified
Congress that the original estimates for
the cost Of manufacturing postal cards
during the next fiscal year may safely
be reduced by one-eight. The falling
off in the demand for postal cards is
more than compensated for by the in
creased sales Of postage stamps and
stamped envelopes, which have grown
in amount eighteen and twenty-five per
cent, respectively, since last July. Elk
perience has thus INDICATED the claim
that a reduction of letter postage would
lead to great increase in the number of
letters sent through the mails, both by
encouraging more frequent correspond
ence, and BY leading to the substitution
OF stamped envelopes for postal cards
and it is already evident that the de-
partment. will speedily reach q selt-sup-
porting basis again.

locomotive Derailed and Exploded. Z

The New York and Chicago limited express
train on the Pittsburg, Fl Wayne Chicago
railroad met with an accident two and half
miles east of Salem, Ohio, Thursday morning.
The train, containing twenty mine passengers,
was running at q high rate Of speed around q
sharp curve along an embankment, when the
entire train, consisting of the engine, conbi-
nation car and three Pullman cars, left the
track. The boiler Of the engine exploded,
either just before or just after the accident oc-
Cured, and twill probably never be determined
which Engineer James Richards and Charles
Rhodes, the fireman, were instantly killed, and
their bodies were buried nearly four hundred
feet from the point where the accident occurred
The engine was turned completely
around and thrown over the embanknent "A
Pullman sleeper, containing twelve sleeping
passengers, crushed down upon it, where i
still lies on its SIDE The passengers in this
car were severely shaken up, but miraculously
escaped without serious injury. The COM
bined smoking and baggage car rolled down
the bank behind the sleeping car, and was
thrown against the sleeper and engine, serious
IL, but not fatally iniuring the train baggage
man, Mr.. Sneider. The two remaining Pull
man cars were derailed, but suffered less In
jury, the passengers in these cars escaped
with but little or no injury. Twelve passen-
gers, including H j. Douglas Of Fort Yates,
Oak, were slightly injured Engineer Rich
ards lives in Pittsburg, and Fireman Rhodes at
Alliance, Chic. The escape Of the passengers
was most miraculous, as it seen,s almost i'm
