BOsroN, Oct. "A railroad collision oc-
CURED early Tuesday morning at South Ber
wick, Me, between two passenge trains
But one person injured, and he not seriously
An excursion train from North Conway for
Boston, with about 1900 passengers on
board, was proceeding under orders
to keep eleven minutes behind the
regular train AS it passed Great Falls
its rate Of speed was SO high that
people in the station remarked the danger of
its overtaking the regular train. At Salmon
Falls, just below, Station Agent Chase, who
is also the telegraph operator, was so busy in
putting baggage on the fast train, and then
In sending dispatch, that he forgot to flag
the excursion train which passed his station
only three OF four minutes after the other
He exclaimed as it dashed by: II have
forgotten that train and l am afraid they
will strike" The collision came just outside
the South Berwick station. The rear car of
the passenger train was driven off the track,
Its hind wheels being two feet on the station
platform, which it cut through for about
fifteen feet. 1t was carried about 100 feet when
the train was stopped. The damaged caT
was then detached and the regu-
lar train proceeded. The two engines
of the excursion train were considerably
damaged and the baggage-car is a wreck,
The track is torn up for about $50 feet A
wrecking train has arrived, and large gang
of men are working to get the tracks clear.
The passengers in the car next to the bag
gage on the excursion train say they felt
three severe jolts, and then all was still In
the rear car scarcely any shock was felt
The conductor says: a was to keep eleyer
minutes back and l supposed was, as I was
not tagged"

CAIRO, Oct Elm an interview with
Nubar Pasha he said that owing to the dis
tress throughout the country, it was impossi-
BILE to collect taxes now due The severe
business reverses and the losses by the
Fellaheen by failure and poor quality of the
crops, have, he said, made 1t the i'm
perative duty of the government to grant
a remission Of taxes in order to
partly alleviate the suffering of the people.
Lord Northbrook, the English high commits
sioner, is now engaged in studying the sys-
tenn of taxation in Egypt, and is making dill
gent inquiries in all quarters in regard to the
present situation Of affairs and the best means
of affording relief to the people, and at the
same time enable the Egyptian government
to satisfy as far as possible the demands Oh
its bondholders.

New YORK, Oct. AT n meeting of the
| grain trade held Wednesday at the produce
exchange, the following preambles and reso
tuition were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Various efforts have been made
| by the produce exchange to induce the trunL
lines to rescind the action taken in July, 1882
whereby charge of cent per bushel is i'm
posed upon all grain loaued at railroad ele
vatorS into ocean bound vessels; and,
| WHEREAS, This tax prevents any grain ex
cept through shipments from being delivered
direct to the vessels, and has stopped til,
sales of "job" cargoes loaded at railroad ele
| vators and
| WHEREAS, 1t is a tax that serves, unde
the circumstances, to destroy the usefulness
of the elevators in the proper handling o
| grain in the market, and has turned ava,
millions Of bushels of grain to water routes
| therefore,
Resolved, That the president is hereby re
quested to appoint committee of five t.

which the trade now suffers

Neuralgia Rheumatism is the hardest
kind to treat. The only way to get at it
is to go right for the cause of it. The
quicker you get your blood in good con-
dition the less you will suffer in body and
mind. Athlophoros moves directly on
the enemy in the blood. 1t purges the
vital fluid of the poisons and acids which
give rise to neuralagic pains and infam~
nations. AS soon as the worklof cleansing
begins you feel the pain departing. and
by the time that work is done the disease
has fled,

John Roach on Our South American
Trade,

NEW YORK, Oct. AT Wednesdays
session of the South American commission
were present United States minister to Mex
leo, Philip H. Morgan, and John
Roach. Mr.. Roach said that theorizing was
well enough, but they needed actual facts.
The railroads, he thought, had made this
country what it is and if we wanted to
carry on trade with Brazil we must have
greater facilities. Sailing vessels amounted
to nothing; we must have vast steamers to
carry freight In 1875 he had an interview
with the emperor of Brazil, and the result
was that the emperor sent his private sec
setary with a competent guide on a tour
of the United States This country, Roach
thought, requires all the products of Brazil,
and Brazil, in turn, wants nearly everything
we raise. He recommended that the United
States extend to American commerce the
same facilities granted to English commerce
by England
