THE FEARS Of the republicans concerning
the result of the approaching election in
Ohio are inducing them to resort to every
conceivable means to stop what they dread
an impending exodus from their ranks.
Among those means is the republication in
their newspapers in that State of the reck-
less and utterly unfounded statements OF
the Virginia Maboneites concerning the
democrats of this State. Those statements
are to the effect that the life of no negro or
white man who intends to vote for Blaine
is safe in Virginia that intimidation, bull
doing and ostracsm reign here with terror
ling effect; that Malone and Riddleberger
are logged, threatened and insulted in ac-
cordance with prearranged plan to force
them into q duel in which some desperate
shall either blow out their brains or cut OUT
their hearts and indeed that the lash, the
rope, the torch and fagot, the bloodhound, the
revolver and the bowie knife have full sway
here. and that no man who wants to vote
for any body but Cleveland dare say so, lest
one oflhe above mentioned means be resorted
10 in orderto make him change his mind. That
such stories are believed by some is stranger
than that they should have been conceived
by he Mahoneites Of Virginia or republish-
ed By the Blaineites of Ohio.

DURING THE last political campaign in
Virginia General Malone commissioned his
negro captains Of tens, the commissions being
gorgeousIy decorated papers, which the poor,
ignorant creatures to whom they were sent
included among their most valued posses
sous. AS each recipient made it his duty
to see That every one of the ten negroes on
his list Cast at least one ballot the General
got out the solid negro vote, and, though
beaten badly by the almost solid white vote
cast against him, made such show of
strength that ne has determined to resort to
the same means in his present campaign.
Instead of captains of tens, however, he is
now commissioning them, with the same
sort of highly decorated papers, as members
OF county committees, and with such COM
missions they will be sure to make every
negro man in the State vote for him next
November The white people should think
of the possible consequences of a solid negro
vote, and should remember that General
Mahoue has said if he can only divide the
white vote he has one hundred thousand
negro voters, from whom he can get any
majority he may want.

A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT ON THE B. & O. Z.

The Baltimore and Ohio cannon ball pas
senger train from New York to Chicago ran
into heavy cast bound freight train yes
terday, one mile this side of Pennington,
and fifty miles east Of Baltimore. The pas
senger train had five coaches, an official car
and two postals, and was in charge of Con-
ductor Henry Long. The freight, a heavy
train of forty cars, in charge of Conductor
Thomas Turley, had orders to pass at Man
nington. Turley mistook the station num-
Der, aud attempted to make Pennington.
The passenger train was heard coming, but
before warning could be given, it shot
around short curve and ran into the
freight train while going at the rate of 10
miles an hour, to make up lost time. Such
was the momentum of the passenger train
that it crashed through the engine and sew
e,al cars OF the freight train, making
a havoc utterly indescribable. The passen-
gers, almost by miracle, escaped with
severe brusing. The trainmen of the
freight were cut and scalded TO death, while
those of the passenger train, with one ex-
ception, escaped by jumping. Thomas Tur-
lev, freight train conductor, Of Piedmont,
was instantly killed, as was Thomas O'Don-
nell, fireman, Of Martinsburg, being crush.
ea and scalded. Geo Leonard, engineer of
the passenger train, had his back broken
and head cut He died in few hours. ID.
w. Boyd, fireman of the passenger train,
was badly scalded ana had both arms bro
ken. John Smith, passenger engineer, had
his head and breast cut and burned. 5. G.
Sapp, of Mount Vernon, Ohio, mail agent,
was badly hurt and injured internally. T.
J. Adams, GAINESVILLE, had his arms broken
and was internally injured. Joseph Du-
mire, of Grafton, riding on the passenger
engine, had his arm mashed. Several
brakemen on the freight train were bruised,
but not seriously. Both engines, baggage
car and nine freight cars were demolished,
and large amount of freight wrecked,
making the loss over 100000.

LAST SATURDAY. soon after the Rich
mond passenger train left Newport News, q
negro man from the side of the road aimed
his gun at the passenger car and and DELHI
erstely fired into it, one of the shot grazing
the cheek of passenger. The train did
not stop, but went on, leaving the negro to
shoot into the next one when it shall please
his fancy to dose. Newport News is in the
"blsok belt" Unless the white people of
the State crush out Blaineism and Malone
ism together next November it will be as
dangerous for their race to travel in other
parts of the State as it now is in the district
referred to.
