gineer by shouting. The locomotive was turn

over it, and the baggage and smoking ears
piled on top of the sleeper remained on the
track. Engineer Davis was found under the

HOTEL PROPRIETOR DEAD.
Loss of the Most Successful CelOred Mau
in the Country.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. Is.
james Wormley, proprietor of Wormley
Hotel of this city, who died in Boston today,
was one of the most remarkably successful
colored men and one most widely known
stewards and hotel proprietors in the country.
He was born in this city 64 years ago.
His parents came here from Virginia in
1914 and Wormley, senior, kept . livery
stable near Williard's Hotel. Before coming
to this city; the elder Mr.. and Mrs. wormley
lived with . wealthy Virginia family, but
were never slaves.
James Wormley's first occupation was
driving carriage for his father. In this
capacity he made the acquaintance of many
public men and thus became selected to take
charge of q popular club house, which was
then opened on G street, near the War
department. He became quite famous as a
steward aud was afterwards steward on a
Mississippi steamboat and finally opened
what i. now Wormley's Hotel.
When Rev. Y. johnson went to England
on q special mission he took Wormley with
him as = steward, but the latter soon returned
and resumed personal charge of the hotel,
which he has made popular throughout the
country.

THE OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING,
The Republican Majority in Ohio
Only $40 Less Than in 1880.
Every indication Points to a United
North With Chances That Virginia
Will Give Her Vote for Blaine
and Logan.

Especial Dispatch TO the Kennebec Journal.
South BEND, Ind, Oct. Is.
The official returns from Ohio show that
the republican victory is more complete and
satisfactory than was anticipated. 1t is full
of cheer, and 10 be summarized shows a gain
of iour members of Congress, with a net
majority on the Congressional ticket OF
ls,476. This is only 529 less than eur ma,
jority in October. 1880, and was secured
while the State was in democratic hands and
against the most determined fight ever made
for the commissioner of public works exceeds
1900, for judge of supreme court l6, 900 and
for secretary of state 1874. The liquor
interests made determined fight against the
candidate for secretary of state because OF
his prohibition record.
In West Virginia the democratic majority
of Is, 900 in 1880 was reduced TO 1000 Surely
there can be no comfort for democrats and
Independents in this record and the republi-
cans are justly happy over the result.
Michigan will give $4,000 republican ma.
jority and Indiana can be relied on for al
least Il, 900 majority for Blaine and Logan.
Every indication points to a united North
for the republican ticket with the chances
that Virginia will give her electoral vote to
the column.

sdered safe as several heavily loaded freight
trains had passed over it short time before
the accident. The other passengers aboard
the train were nearly all in the rear car; had
this coach followed the first section, the loss
of life would have been apparent. Most of
those injured were section hands.

Crowds Going West or Account Of the

The effects of circulars distributed through
out the city yesterday by the West Shore
Road and announcing the cut in passenger
rates, were seen this morning in the offices of
that company and in the offices of ticket bro
kers, whicy were all thronged by crowds of
westward bound travellers, drawn there by
low rates of fare. Some disappointment was
felt by many because the rates are not still
lower, as they had been lead to believe they
were from reading the accounts of the war
Instead of being lower than they were yester-
terday, they were somewhat higher. Ticket
agents are awaiting orders which may come
at any moment. either to restore rates to the
schedule prices or resume cutting.
