SLEEPERS PLUNGED INTO THE
RIyER-THIRTY FEET THROUGHA
BRIDGE.-At Lynchburg, on last
Sunday morning, two sleeping cars
fell through the long wooden bridge
into the river. But few of the pas
sengers were awake, but the shock
of the fall and the noise made by
the rushing waters of the river in
to which they had been plunged
awakened them to the sudden re-
alization that death stared them
in the face, and an exciting scene
ensued.
Some Of the men managed to es'
cape from the windows Of the cars,
which were gradually settling in
the water, which is about II feet
deep at that point, and gave their
aid towards rescuing the frighten-
ed women. A boat was put out
from the Amherst side of the river
and soon reached the wreck. The
passengers were all saved by the
almost superhuman efforts of a
number of brave men, the most
prominent of these being Captain
Charles NJ. Blackford, a prominent
lawyer of Lynchburg, who saved a
number of lives at the imminent
risk of losing his own. The rescu-
ed, who were in their night clothes,
saved but little of their apparel,
but we're taken to houses near by
and provided,with the necessary ar.
ticles. VIM. Whaling, colored
brakeman, received slight injuries,
and Prof. H. E. Holt, of Boston,
received painful cut on his left
hand. SO far as known not a life
was lost and but few persons we're
injured. Old travellers and rail-
road men say the escape from an
appalling disaster has no parallel
in the history of railroad accidents
in Virginia.
! Conductor VIM. King, who was
ION the platform of one of the cars
was thrown into the river, and al
though he had two ribs broken, he
swan to the cars and helped the
passengers through the windows.
Most of the passengers we're taken
out through holes cut in the ven
tilators at the top of the cars, to
which the water finally reached
There were about 40 passengers II
the sleepers, and all were saved
After the water had covered the
ltop of the windows, Mrs. j. s. Far.
den pushed her two-months'old
child through a window and held
| it above the water until rescued
and then she came out the same
way.

Pushing Butler Forward.

PITTSBURG, June pa we'll
known labor leader Of this city has
received a letter from the managers
of the National Greenback move
ment, dvising him and others to
beat Chl,..go prior to the meeting
of the Democratic National Con-
vention. The idea in gathering the
class is explained in the
letter, as follows:
propose to make every effort
to have Butler nominated by the
Democrats. Accordingly, we will
meet there little in advance of the
Convention and work to aid Butler
We will show the Democrats that
the working people of the country
want the man of destiny to fill the
presidential chair. We Will warn
the Democrats at Chicago that the
Greenbackers, anti-monOpolists
and Labor men think better of
Blaine than of Cleveland, Bayard
or, indeed, or any one whom the
aristocratic dude boilers of the Re-
publican party may pick out.
Blaine is peoples candidate,
and the Democrats cannot win with
any one but a peoples, candidate
in opposition. So we propose to do
our best to have Butler nominated
by the Democrats, and for that
purpose quite a number of Labor
leaders will baon hand at Chicago.

butler anu Kelly Meet.

Especial to the New York WORLDLY
WASHINGTON, June 26.-Ben.
Butler left here last night for New
York for the purpose of having a
conference with John Kelly. 1t is
expected that he will return after
the interview. Butler has been
very busy within the last two
weeks. He has been the subject of
a good deal Of talk among the
Democrats, who are very anxious
to find out just what his plans are.
1t is very certain that Butler will
use his entire influence against
Bayard. They have had anumber
of differences in the past, and
Bayard has gone out of his way a
number of times to denOunce But
Ter. The latter has a most excel
lent memory, and never lets an OPP
portunity go by to repay an injury.
1t is understood here that Butler
will fight at least for the second
place OH the ticket upon the assur-
ance that he can carry Massachu-
sets if he receives the Endorsement
from the national convention. The
majority of Democrats in Washing
ton are against making any con-
cessions to Butler with this excep-
ton. They will be willing to help
him secure a nomination for Gov.
ernor of Massachusetts, and back
him for a fight of that kind if he
will be content with that. i'

Boss" BarbOur's Methods.


RICHMOND, VA, June 29.-The
news has reached here that the
Barbour democratic state commit
tee at Alexandria had declared in
favor of an extra session of the leg
islature. 1t caused no surprise, as
it was known that the party in Vir-
ginia is In ertremiS. The wonder
is that the legislature adjourned
when it did, as the work was so
badly done and has given such I'M
iversal dissatisfaction to the bour-
bon masses effected by their legis-
lation.
The laws passed in reference to
the state debt were superlatively
silly the oyster laws have DISCUS
ted all eastern Virginia; the elec-
toral law was based on the plane
of low partisanry, and could pro-
duce only fraud and cheating. This
law was declared unconstitutional,
and to do away with its uncOnsti-
tutional features and at the same
time to turn out of Office every re-
publican judge Of election and reg
istrar in the state, is the only OBJ
ject ofau extra session, which would
cost the state at least $50, 200.
The people of the state will not
snhmit IN Snch an eynense for such
a purpose, land that an extra session
can be prevented can not be ques-
toned, as time will prove. The
governor of the state has it in his
power to designate the time of the
call for all extra sessions, and he
can be relied upon by the people
who elected him as one perfectly
able and anxious to resist every at
tempt to burden the taxpayers for
the benefit of that party which has
impoverished the state since 1871
