DEPARTMENT JUSTICE.
Report of the Committee on EXpendi.
tures-Large Number of Witnesses
Examined.
WASHINGTON. Sent. 80.

WASHINGTON, Sept 80.
During the last session of Congress the
committee on expenditures in the department
of justice examined large number of wit
nesses relative to the charges against the
government made by United States marshals,
United States supervisors of elections and
other officers appointed by or connected with
the department of justice. report based
upon the testimony taken has been made for
submission to the House of Represe natives
upon the reassembling of Congress. 1t is
signed by the democratic members of the
committee. The republican members will
! submit a minority report. In making observ-
atoms on the appointment of United States
officials, the report says:
A stream never rises above its source, and
as long as those who possess the power of
appointing these officers have no appreciation
of the true dignity of public service and
regard office only as rewards to be bestow ed
upon their unscrupulous political allies, there
is not much reason to hope for any great i'm
provement in the character of our appointed
officials.
The committee has not been able to exam
inc all of the class named, nor does it sup
pose that all fraudulent and wicked practices
have been discovered even in those portions
of the country where the offices haye been
investigated. Enough has been developed,
however, to give a very good idea as to the
general character of the officers appointed
and the mode of conducting the public bus-
ness. The testimony before the committee
clearly shows that utter inetfciency and
criminal practices have prevailed in many
parts of this branch of public service for
many years past, and that the government
has been heavy loser thereby.
There is q sameness as also variety in
the testimony. The investigation reveals the
wonderful unanimity with which these officers
of almost every grade and in several portions
Of the country have plundered the public
treasury by false, fraudulent and fcticious
charges, and yet the variety in the ways and
means by which they have worked their
schemes is equally curious, and shows that
they have taxed their ingenuity to the utmost
to find modes of accomplishing their one
unhallowed purpose of getting money they
were not entitled to. They have charged for
arrests that were not made, for travel that
was not performed, for expenses that were
not incurred and for guards that were not
employed They knowingly rendered false
accounts against the government, misappro-
priated public funds, became defaulters to
the government and to the courts, increased
accounts after they were made up, made up
assets in the name of ficticious persons,
arrested upon false charges worked up by
themselves, extorteh money from private
citizens, and in wavs without number have
swindled the government and oppressed the
people.

The Irish American republican committee
was called to order by A. l.. Morrison of New
Mexico, who expressed qualification in seeing
here many who were in this movement four
years ago. This showed that the Irishmen
are united. This was not simply a conven-
ton of lrish-American republicans, but of
Irish citizens opposed to the election cf
Grover Cleveland. They had met for the
purpose of using eveay effort in their power
to elect Blaine and Logan, and for the pur
pose of putting themselves on record ire
vocably against the British heresay of free
trade. They were here for the purpose of
warning any party in the country that it is
dangerous to have any alliance with the
British press or the British government. The
Irishmen appreciate the wants of the nation
better than any other citizens. because of the
| long and bitter contest with the British which
will not be ended until Ireland takes her
place among the nations of the earth. This
is not so much a contest between the repub-
licans and democrats as between England
| and America

MAINE DISPATCHES.
ON THE SAME TRACK.
Collision Between Excursion and Reg.
ular Trains at South Berwick.


DOVER, n. H., Sept. 30.
An excursion train from North Conway
with 1900 people on board, ran into the reg
ular train at South Berwick, Tuesday after
noon. Two engines, baggage car, excur-
sion and baggage passenger cars were de-
rallied. No one was killed
Later information received by the officers
Of the Eastern road in Boston, is to the eff
feet that no one injured by the accident,
and that the damage to trains was not serious.
Another Account.
A serious smashup occurred on the Eastean
railroad at South Berwick station this fore
noon, caused by the carelessness of an en-
ployee. The regular train for Boston, Con
ductor Goliath, due at South Berwick at
lOOS A. M, did not arrive until 10 TO-
Behind them on the same track was the
annual hay seed excursion train from the
country towns north of Rochester in charge
OF Conductor Jefferson. The regular train
had stopped while the baggage was being put
on. when Engineer Franklin. who was looking
back for the signal to start, saw the excur-
sion train about 300 yards away coming
around the curve at full speed. He jumped
to put on the full speed to get out of the
way, but the coupling on the third car from
the rear parted at the sudden strain and left
behind two cars which had just began to
move. The coming train consisted of IA
cars, packed fall of people, drawn by two
locomotives. The engineer of the forward
engine put on the brakes, but of no avail,
a1d the train bore down on the two cars
baggage car were thrown from the track and
the rear car of the other train was badly
smashed. The engineers stuck to the engines
and no body was hurt except Mrs. Cuts OF
Great Falls who received a sprained ankle
The engineers and baggage men on the
excursion train were severely shaken up,
Both engines knocked together and the front
of each were badly stove in. The engine and
baggage car of the forward train went tC
Boston. Two wrecking trains, one from
Woltboro and one from Portsmouth, were
soon on the spot and succeeded at O'Clock
in clearing the track of all but the second
engine. Twelve hundred persons were on
the excursion train. The cause of the acci
dent was the neglect of Frank N. Chase,
station agent at Salmon Falls, who put out a
blue flag, which is a signal that the train had
been gone but five minutes. He had tele-
gram to send to North Conway and hearing
the Conway operator at the wire sat down to
send it.
