the East Fork river on the Cincinnati Eastern mar

while the rear car remained on the second portion
OF the bridge Forty-tive persons on the train
at the time, and many made miraculous escapes
several leaping to the stream below. The follow
Ing Is list of those injured and killed: Engineer
Ed. Wilbur, OF Sardinia, and Fireman Henry Jones,

AdJutant General DRUMS Report.

THE EFFICIENCY OF TIE STATE MILITIA-RECoM-
NENDATIoNS CONCERNING SOLDIERS IN THE REGU-
LAR MISREPRESENTATION OF WAR RECORDS
ETC.
Adjutant General Drum, in his annual report to
the secretary OF War; states that the reports of Off
GERS detailed to inspect the various militia encamp-
ments are generally favorable as to the condition
of the militia OF the several states, and evidence
great zeal on the part of the officers He speaks Of
the Importance of well organized and intelligent
militia, and endorses the bill presented by Gen.
Slocum at the last session of Congress as measure
calculated to further develop and improve the er-
cheney OF the militia. He says that the
action of Congress in increasing tie mum
Der OF officers that can be detailed for
the duty OF giving military instruction at
military colleges has proved of great benefit
lie recommends legislation by Congress author
zing the retirement OF enlisted men after thirty
five years OF service with rs per centum OF pay and
allowances at the time Of retirement. In regard to
the term OF service he says that the reduction of
the first term from five to three years will ma
terially decrease the number Of desertionS. The
change from the sem1-annual to O bi-monthly set
tlement or Clothing Oyerdrawn by the soldier is
again recommended as measure beneficial to the
government and the man. 1t is also recommended
that the apprehension OF deSerterS be made by
law one of the duties of United States marshals and
their deputies. The progress made at the military
prison at Fort Leavenworth has been most
satisfactory. The number OF prisoners discharged
during the year was 3S5, ana the number remaining
in prison June 30, 1884, was 5e3 The number OF
the insane under the orders of the Secretary OF
War. from October 1St, 1883, to october 1st, 1884
was az, OF which number four were officers of the
army He calls attention to the fact that many
thousands OF the most valuable records of the re-
beiilon are rapidly falling into decay, and urges
that the attention OF Congress be called to the
matter with view to providing a suitable force
for placing these records beyond trretrevabIeSOss

MONT 1S56-HIs VIEWS AS To THE IMPORTATION
OF PAUPERs AND CRIMINALS.
In his speech at Flint, Mich, yesterday, Er.
Blaine after calling attention protective tariff
the great issue OF the campaign, said tnat since
he had been in Michigan he had received letters
asking him TO state whether he had ever been a
member OF the knownothing party. lie had also
received telegrams from the Pacific coast asking
whether he was not supporter OF Mr. Fillmore
when he ran in 1856 as the native American CsiRGi
date for the presidency. "Let he say" he COLI
tinued in fu and explicit terms, in reply 10 these
inquiries by letter and telegraph, that never WAS

with which never had any sympathy, and from
which never hesitated 10 express dissent But In
connection with that subject let me say that there

ceeded TO explain what those three wrongs were.
First, he thought that the habit which has grown
upon the part Of some European countries or send
Ing their pauperS TO the United States ought not
TO be longer tolerated. Second, and still more OBJ
Jectonable is the practice OF shipping their crml-
mails TO US Third, II tariff FOR protection Is desig-

WAS 1T THE CAUSE OF THE DEATH OF CADET STRANG?
Notwithstanding the denial OF the Naval acad-
emy authorities that the strangulated hernia
which caused the recent death OF Naval Cadet
Srang was the result of hazing, there is firm be-
lief in certain quarters here, based on information
from Annapolis, that such was the case. 1t has
been said that between the time of the young
mans admission to the academy in physically
sound condition and his reporting his injury to the
surgeon in charge but twelve hours elapsed. The
surgeon who performed the operation, 1t is under
stood, attributed young Strang's injury to a strain
in climbing into his hammock on board the Santee
and were OF the opinion that this strain was fur
ther aggravated by over exert!on at the artillery
drill 1t is generally understood, however, that
packed in barrel and rolled about and other haz-
ing amusements would be more apt to cause hernia
than his climbing into hammock.

DEAR SIR:-Early in August last this committee
addressed you a circular letter of the reDubl can
national committee, soliciting contributions to the
republican campaign fund at the headquarters of
this committee, No. 1421 New York avenue. While
that appeal has been literally responded to, the
condition OF the existing campaign is such that fur
ther sums are needed to meet the legitimate de-
mandS OF the occasion. Those who have not yet
responded to the appeal made, as well as those who
are earnestly requested to give their aid the
cause. At the request of the national committee,
VIC ueSiTe W TtIllnQ you tnaJ cOntrlOutOnS Will Ee
received by this committee until the close OF the
campaign, and we hope that you will generously
respond
The late victories in Maine, Vermont and Ohio do
not decide this contest. The great battle is yet TO
be fOught and unless the state of New York or In
diana can be secured to the republican column in
November, the battle may be eventually lost. The
enemy is desperate, and VIII contend to the last
moment. He must be met with determined effort
and every honorable means at our command. This
will involve much future expense, and a constant
effort until the victory is finally won will be
II every republican does his duty. Otherwise it
may De lost, and the management OF public affairs
pass into the hands OF those who exercise mercy
towards republicans We again appeal to you for
