RUSHING DOWN 4 GRADE.
A Terrible Accident on n Little Railroad OF
the Island of Maui.

A Terrible Accident on n Little Railroad on
the Island of Maui.
A correspondent OF the New York Sun
writes the details Of railroad accident on
the great sugar plantation Of Claus Spree
kles. on the Island Of Maui, few miles
from Honolulu. The road is from the sea
to the sugar-felds, and Is only three miles
long. On the 14th Of February Mrs. Henry
Brown and Mrs. Plat, whose husbands are
employed on the estate, and Mrs. Parker,
wife OF the engineer, took a notion to ride
20 the plantation. Mrs. Brown and Mrs.
Plati each had three children and Mrs. Par
ker an infant. At the top OF the hill a
brakeman pulled coupling-pin too soon,
and seven ears, with the passenger coach
in front, went laundering down the grade
and met another train. Mrs. Parker, with
her babe, jumped, and neither was hurt.
Mrs. Plati covered her face and sat still
Mrs. Brown threw her youngest child out.
1t was saved, but badly hurt. She and her
other two children, seven and five, were
terribly crushed. Mrs. Plati and her chill
dren were badly hurt, but escaped as by q
miracle with bruised faces and broken
limbs. She is daughter OF Colonel Wis
ner, OF Fort Porter, Buffalo. and had just
returned from Germany with her three
sons. Mrs. Browns maiden name was
Adele Weston. She was the adopted
daughter OF Mr. Wells Walbridge, Of Buf-
falo.
The funeral took place at Wailukee.
| Among the letters Of coincidence was one
| from eX-Queen Emma, very touching and
sympathlzing.

Mr. Tilden'S Latest.

General GORDON, OF Georgia, has had a
talk with Mr.. TILDEN, He reports as fol-
| lows:
| With various explanatory remarks, Mr..
| Tilden finally added, with absolute en-
phasis and great decision: " No, | cannot
! be candidate, and would not accept if the
nomination were rendered me-" | then
said to him "If that is your decision and
| it is reversible, the next thing Is for me
to inquire what. in your judgment, ought
to be the platform OF the Democratic party
and who should be the nominee"
THE TARIFF.
As TO platform. Mr.. Tildcn was clearly
OF the opinion that the party should have
made its campaign this year wholly one OF
an aggressive warfare upon the record OF
the party in power, i'm which Mr. Tilden
included all that had been charged against
the record Of the Republican party, espe-
cialIy that portion which had been termed
the cOrruptions. Without discussing at

Mr.. TuDEN expressed good deal OF
