Railroad Collision.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-About 8 80 o'clock
this evening as the train from Martinsburg,
due at Washington at 8.12 p. M, was en-
tering the city on the ''Y'' switch, it collded
with train No. IL west bound from Balti-
more, aud due at Washington at $3.50. Train
No was twenty-four minutes late, but the
other train was on time. The west bound
train was shown a white light when a red
light should have been shown to the train
until the other had safely passed the switch.
Michael Riley, engineer of the Martinsbnrg
train was killed, and his fireman, Solomon
Fogler, badly injured. The engineer and
fireman Of the other train escaped with slight
injuries. No one else was killed. The in
jured were as follows: David Drill, Pitts
burg. express agent, badly injured in legs;
James Gallagher, Pittsburg, legs broken; R.
A. Tucker, Washington, slightly injured !;
Baggage Master H. E. Carter, hurt internally.
The wreck of the rolling stock was COM
plete and it seemed almost miracle so few
persons were injured. The engines were
locked together and passenger car COM
pletely covered them. The loss to the COM
pany is heavy.

1t is astonishing with what rapidity a city
can be emptied when there has been a long
convention which taxes the pocketbooks of
the visitors. There is nothing so conducive
to movement homeward as an empty wallet,
and should judge that in the case of these
great conventions honors were pretty nearly
easy on that point-the departures were so
sudden in both cases, as though the
whole convention and all the audience were
getting up conspiracy to jump their board
bills. You can move about the Palmer now
with ease. The clerks, barkeepers and en-

The Emperor of China vt Home.
The YoUTurUL RULER OF AN EMPIRE CoN-
TANNING 25O, 1000. 900 SUBJECTS.

The ruler of the $50 900, 900, of which the
Chinese nation probably consists, 10 nov
within FIVE years Of his majority, and 10 an
occupant, while yet a minor, of the same
apartments in which lived the Emperor who
preceded him on the Dragon Throne. There
he eats with gold-tpped chopsticks Of ivory;
there he sleeps on large Ningpo bedstead,
richly carved and ornanented with ivory and
gold. the same on which the noble-minded
Emperers Kang Hsi and Chen Lung used to
recline after the days fatigue last century
and the century before. Like ene of those
living Buddhas who may be seen in lama
| sery on the Mongolian plateau, he 10 knelt to
by all his attendants and honored as q god.
There 10 the difference, that the respect felt
for him is more profound than for them.
The seclusion in which he is kept also 10 far
more complete.
The building in which the Emperor resides
is called Yang Hsin Tien, and is . little tp
the west of the Ch'ien Ching Meu in the
middle of the palace. At the back Of the
central gate, on the south side, is the great
reception hall. When ministers Of state and
others enter for an audience at four, Ave, or
| six in the morning, according to custom, they
have to go on foot to the centre Of the palace,
over half mile, if they enter by the east or
west gate and when they get on in years
which then by decree allows them to be
borne in a chair, instead of walking.
The rooms of the Emperor consist Of seven
compartments. They are provided with the
divan or kang, the peculiar institution Of
North China. The Hangs are covered with
red felt of native manufacture, and the heor
with European carpets. The cushions all
have embroidered on them the dragon and
the phGnix. Pretty things scattered through
the rooms are endless in variety, and are
changed in accordance with any wish ex-
pressed by the Emperor. The rooms are In
all thirty yards long by from eight to nine
yards deep, and are divided into three sep
arate apartments. the throne-reom being the
middle one. Folding-doors ten feet in height
open into each of these apartments TO the
North and South in the centre of each.
The pillars shine with fresh vermillien,
both within the rooms and en- the steps out
side, and are decorated with sculptured
work, partly gilt and partly varntshsd.
The Hoppe, who lately returned from Can
ton, gave the Emperor present valued at
$4,000. 1t consisted Of chandeliers, holding
500 wax candles each. His Majesty has
also some electrical machines and number
less foreign curiosities.

THE FIELD REVIEWED.

From the Pioneer Press Of Thursday morning
The result Of Tuesdays election is still In
considerable doubt New York is the pivotal
state, and ON the result there the in
tsrest centers The latest returns re.
ceited this morning before going to press
show that, whichever way 1t goes, It will be
by remarkably small majority. Chairman
Jones, Of the Republican national commit
tee.c claims the state very positively by good
majority, and is supported by ex-Gov.
Cornell, who estimates 1000 plurality.
Charles E. Smith, of the Philadelphia Press.
and one Of the best-pOsted men on
New York politics claims ], 500 majority. On
tho other hand, the New York Times has re-
duced its estimates to 3,125 plurality for
Cleveland, and the Democratic man
ayers are positiue In their assertions
of victory. New jersey and Connecticut are
conceded Democratic. Indiana is still very
doubtful, and steady reports of Republican
gains indicate reasonable grounds for hope.
Michigan is also among the uncertain, it be-
ing feared that the fusion ticket will be sue
cessful. In Virginia the result has not been
decided yet Malone positively claims o
Republican majority, while the Democrats
are equally positive to the contrary. The
probabilities point, however, to q
Democratic victory In that state
by reduced majority. Since yes
terday West Virginia has also
taken her place among the doubtful states,
and there now seems to be more than good
chance Of small Republican majority.
Nevada is yet to be heard from. As it now
stands, Blaine has 100 electoral votes.
Cleveland 1872, and 20 are in doubt. The
returns show large gains Of Republican con-
gressmen.
