CENTRALIA, May 20, 1884.

CENTRALIA, May ~, 1884.
EDITORS REPoRTER.-It is our
endeavor to be law abiding citizens and
we do not merit censure unless it is
deserved. The wood, in question, was
placed along side of the street by per-
mission and consent of the Mayor
during the winter. 1t was not piled
into the street further than was per-
mitted by him or to interfere with two
teams, side by side, passing along the
whole length of it. We were request
ed to take out some of it in order to
ship shingles and remove more as
might be convenient a few DAYS
before the runaway occurred which was
done. Since then about all of it has
been removed Neither the man or
team was injured at or near the wood
pile. The vivid imagination of a
teaDlster not capable OF handling his
horses must charge to pile of wood
or hitching post an accident due
entirely to himself. A candid man
will not charge US with lawlessness or
a desire to involve the city in expen-
sive lawsuits. We are sure also the
community whose confidence and
respect we heartily desire, is not ready
to condem where they do not know
We are very small concern and prob
ably of little value to the city, still we
pay over $1,000 monthly in Wood Co
for labor and material which is doubt
less spent here. We have invested a
large amount of money in our business
and a common courtesy, born of good
will to all msn-even if no selfish
interest is subserved will permit us to
conduct our business without public
criticism unless known to be merited

American treasury, which is the ulti-

is well supplied with cash. This ought
to check panic. All accounts show
that millions of English money is
being thrown into American stocks
During three days iuconceivably large
purchases have been made through
brokers. Capitalists bought great
blocks of American stocks and innum-
cradle small investors made limited
purchases. Other securities are
somewhat depressed because there
are so many people anxious to realize

Many of the leading newspapers in
both New York and Ohio have been
requested to give their opinion as to
whether Mr.. Blaine, if nominated,
would cary those states. A majority
OF such papers respond that Mr..
Blaine would triumph in those states,
and many of them express the opinion
that he would be the strongest candi,
date that could be nominated. The
editor of The Utica Herald says in
my judgement, Blaine is stronger in
New York than any other republican
can be. and can surely carry the
state" The people in the rural dis
trIcts seem to be strong for the Maine

Democratic Convention are gathering in
rapidly, and the meeting on the 22i inst.
Is looked forward to with much interest.
st. Louis, Cincinnati and Chicago delega-
tons are alredy on the grouBd, and PhiIa-
delphia, Baltimore, Saratoga and New York
will have representatives. to present their
claims. The general impression is that the
convention will go West, but the Randall
men will make strong fight for Philadel.
phia, with Baltimore and Saratoga as sec
ond choice. Baltimore will have the sup
port OF local interest here, which would
like TO have the convention within easy
reach of Copgressmen and Capital residents,
but the Western men have the location in
their hands and will decide it unless they
disagree. Chicago is confident and claims
70 have the supporsOf both Morrison and
Mcdonald, although the former would
naturally prefer st. Louis. Cincinnati is
opposed by large section of the Western
Democracy that remembers the Enquirer
attack on Mcdonald in 1850. The st. Louis
people here do not claim much, but are
working hard and apparently have the best
chances at this writing.

CosHoCToN, February ia terrific wind
and rain storm struck this place at about
eight O'Clock tonight, doing great damage
to trees and buildings The roof OF the
steel works, the largest man anufactory in the
place, was blown Oft and portion Of the
walls demolished. All the lines OF tele-
graph are blown down and it is feared that
much damage has been done throughout
the country. A most disastrous wreck oc.
Cured this morning at Trenton,a a few miles
east OF here on the Panhandle, where
three trsmps we're killed outright and one
so seriously injured that it is thought he
will die. The engineer, conductor and two
brakemen were badly injured, while two
engines and two freight-cars were almost
entirely demolished. The scene of the
mishap is at the foot of long grade,
down which the fret section OF the freight
was running at a high rate Of speed. At
the of the hill is little station and
side track. Some devils in human form
had moved the switch without disturbing
the signal light, and when the train came
laundering along the engine crashed into
two cars standing on the siding, and before
the hagman could get far enough back the
section following it came crashing into the
first, piling cars and engine in mass OF
indistinguishable debris. Trains were de-
layed for more than twelve hours. 1t is
said the company will make untiring
efforts to ferret out the misCreants who did
the dastardly work.
