Muse OF TILE

Owing TO the reticcncc OF the railroad
employees it was difficult to ascertain who
was to blame. It was stated OIL pretty
good authority, however, that the conduc-
tor and engineer Of the freight train mis-
understood or misfead their orders. The
orders were to goto Warrington and there
wait ior the express train to pass, butt
was taken to be Pennington, and the
freight train was going at an unusually
speed to make the siding a mile be-

The mnil bags recovered from the wreck
were brought to this city, arriving about
10 o'clock last evening. They we're in

An AWFUL SCENE.

The scene Just after the trains collided
wassimplyindescribabie. Thecnginc ofthe
passenger train lay partly turned over,
and the fireman, Boyd, was so wedged in
the wreck that lie could not move, but lay
with his face slowly cooking, his shoulders
and chest crushed by their load, and the
water from the tender pouring over him,
and mingling in q Shiny mass with the
cement and flour scattered about for yards
from the wrecked freight cars, lie was
rescued with difficulty.
The shock threw the contents OF the six
freight ears which were demolished in a
shower into the air. Cement, flour and
grain raincd all over the surrounding
ground, over the ears OF both trains and
the engines, where, mingling with the
escaping steam and tho water from the
tanks it formed a paste whicl, set about
the faces and figures OF the injured men,
rendering them unacceptable.
The mail car was also wrecked, and it
and the broken freight cars were piled in
two heaps OF broken timber and iron.

4 DOCTRINE,

'lut in this campaign a new and dan.
gcrous doctrine has been started, and per-
sons say: "Wc4 should vote against the
Judges because they have declared that to
DO law, which according to the opinion on
the street, ought not to be the law" This
new doctrine is, that If a court decides
II way when some people want it to de-
eide another way, then the Judges arc to
be, defeated. Henceour people stand con
fronted with this issue; shall this election
proclaim ojf,Aurt judges that in West Vir-
ginia n court must declare that to be law
which is not law whenever public opinion
is one way but the law books are the other
way?
There arc persons SO blinded by parti.

dependence OF our judicial system in or

AT ODDS OVER A MERIDIAN.
The Belief General that no Agreement

Conference.

The Belief General that no Agreement
will be Reached by the International
Conference.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-In the Prime
Meridian Conference to-day, a resolution
was adopted declaring 1t to be the opin-
ion of the conference that common
prime meridian for all nations was de-
sirable. Prof. Rutherford, one of the
United States delegates, offered a resolu-
tiOn proposing the meridian of Green
wlch for adoption as the standard me-
ridian. This resolution met with consid-
cradle opposition, particularly from the
French delegates. After a good deal of
discussion, in the course OF which the
French delegates manifested some feeling
and disposition to resist strenuOusly the
adoption of Prof Rutherford's resolution,
the conference adjourned to Monday,
Oct. 6. The officers of the United States
Bureau OF Navigation express the opin-
ion that the conference will either
adopt the meridian of Greenwich
or come to no agreement whatever, as
neither Great Britain nor the United
states will consent TO any other. Each of
these governments, they say, has a large
number of valuable charts which would
be rendered partially useless if a change
were made in the prime meridian, and the
cost Of altering them would be not less
than E1,000,00O for Great Britain
and $l,0O0,000 for the United States.
Whether Congress would agree to such an
expenditure for such purpose is, they
think, doubtful. One Of the foreign dele
gates expressed the opinion tonight that
the conference would not be able to come
to any agreement. The French delegates,
be said, manifested a determination not
to consent to the recommendation of the
meridian OF Greenwich, and the repre-
sentatives of Great Britain and the United
States would not, lie thought, be satisfied
with any meridian likely to meet the
views of France

BUCHANANs STATEMENT.

He Returns to Louisville and Saws the
Charges of CrOskedness VIII be Ex-
ploded
made known by an official statement that
duplicated receipts for 5000 barrels of
whisky have been found during the inves-
tlgatlon into the affairs of the NewcOmb-
Buchanan Company. The Trust Com
panY has refused to make public the
names Of the victims. George Buchanan
who has been missing since the assign
ment, is supposed TO be in the city. The
ErenlRQ Times says: 1--WE have been au-
thoriZed to state, on the authority
of George Buchanan himself, that irregu-
larities IN the business of the NewcOmb-
Buchanan company in the matter
Of duplicated warehouse receipts involve
from 1900 to 5000 barrels of whiskev. on
which from $40, 600 to $50, GOO was realized,
and that the books Of the company will
account for every dollar of money thus
raised and show that every cent of it was
used IN the cOmpany's efforts 10 tide over
the breakers in which the firm was
involved. Two years ago, when the
Buchanans got an extension from their
creditors, their liabilities amounted to
Sl,60O,OOO. In these two years they have
paid of $550,0O0 of the principal and from
100000 TO $3.50, 900 in interest. They have
delivered TO customers about 100, 600
barrels Of whisky, and Of the 20, 900 barrels
now in bond no complications exist,
except as to 1900 or 5000 barrels. They
believe that, by careful administration,
the assets will pay on every dollar of both
corporate and individual debts, and that
if the reasonable expectation of an early
revival in the trade IS fulfilled there wilt
be surplus over all liabilities. These
statements are from Buchanan himself.
and may be relied upon as authentic and
true to the best of his knowledge.v

After the rehearsal Tuesday he was shown

his illness and consequent inability TO do

The Thinking Voters in the Western Re

WASHINGTON, Oct. "A very large
mail was received at the Democratic
headquarters this morning from all parts
of the country. The majority of the re-
quests for documents were for Mr.. POSTS
speeches concerning the Treasury ac-
counts and defalcations, the Mulligan
letters and Curtin's speeches upon the
land question. The publication concern
ing Blaine's connection with the Hecking
Valley coal mines is being extensively
circulated in Ohio, and Neal Dow's letter,
which appeared this morning, in which
the writer claims the result in Maine as
glorious victory for prohibition, and SAYS
that Blaine told him that he refrained
from voting on that question at the urgent
request of prominent OHIO Republicans on
account OF the bigOted Germans, has all

arti-PrOhibitiOn section of the State.
The editor of the Rock Rapid ReUie1C
writes to Secretary Post that Iowa can be
carried for Cleveland if the proper effort
is made. He says that they do not need
money, but want documents. The fusion,
he says, is strong. Documents concern
ing land steals, free trade speeches, and
Blaine's Mulligan letters are read with
interest by every one who can get hold of
them, and the effect produced is remark
