THE VIRGINIA RAILROAD WRECK.
Five Men Killed and a Large Amount of
Money and Mail Eurnad

Five Men Killed and a Large Amount of
Money and Mail Burned.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The latest reports
from the scene OF a railroad accident at
Fonr Mile makes it certain that FIVE men
were killed, all train hands. All the passen-
gers, seventy in number, escaped serious in-
jury.
The safe of the express car had been
opened shortly before the accident and the
flames made such headway the express agent
could not close it, and its contents were
burned. On account of the way bills having
been burned, it cannot now be told just
how much money was in the safe, but it IS
variously estimated all the way from $75, 900
to $3.50, 900. About bushel of silver dollars
were taken out of the wreck, being badly
burned and many more were melted into
solid chunk. The loss to the railroad com
pany is estimated at S25,000. Postal
officials say the collision has caused
the largest loss of mail matter Of which there
is any record in the department. The fire
which resulted from the collision destroyed
thirteen through registered mail pouches
coming from New Orleans, Mobile and other
points in the south and destined for Wash
ington, New York and eastern cities. These
pouches are known to have contained
money and other yaluables, but to what
amount cannot yet be ascertained. The fire
also destroyed 100 sacks Of ordinary male
matter, heavy miscellaneous mail and $50
registered letters taken up for delivery along
the line and not enclosed in pouches. The
ordinary mail lost is supposed TO have come
from Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and other
Southern states. 1t Is impossible as yet to
tell where the blame for the disaster rests, as
all who could throw any light on the matter
are dead or SO badly injured the facts cannot
be ascertained

Sullivan and Ryan to Meet in New Or
1ea.s-A Brutal Fight in Chicago.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Feb. 20. Pat Sheedy has ar
ranged for meeting with hard gloves be-
tween j. L. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan, to
take place shortly at New Orleans. Barnum's
circus tent, which will hold 10000 persons,
has been engaged for the occasion. The
contest, it is said, will be for 50, 500 side.
A match with hard gloves between Mike
Cleary and Jack Burke will probably be
decided at the same time and place. The
New Orleans authorities are reported to be
pledged that no interfere nee will occur, and
it is expected that the show will draw more
people to the city than the exposition. 1t is
even betting that Sullivan will not go to New
Orleans, and even betting if he does 90 he
will not get back to Boston.

selves at liberty TO vote as individual senators
against their recon mmendation as committee
men.
Miller of New York opposed the sample
'copy'' provision. He thought 1t better that
uniform rates should be established. The
postal rates have been so irregular and un-
systematic that not even members of the
postoffice committees of congress could al
ways remeni Der what rates were in any given
case. Rates should be simplifed and
STRIPPED OF COMPLICATION.
Senator Plumb said that all reductions in
postal rates had been effected by means of
appropriation bills. Senator Sherman said that
the legislation was good and timely, though
in bad place; and as members OF the appro-
priation committee seemed to wish that the
senate should vote their amendment down,
and be (Shcrman) was disposed to oblige
them. Senator Allison said that
if the vote of the senate
should strike out the legislation referred to,
it would be declaration that we shall keep
general legislation in the appropriation bills
when it suits us, and strike it out when it
does not. This legislation being OF itself ad-
mittedly good, this was good place for us
to stand by our rule and show our virtues.
Senator Dawes favored
STANDING By THE RULE
and agreeing TO the committees amend
ment. He thought the senate postotfice COM
mittee ought TO wake up and take hold OF
such a subject as this and report bill.
Senator Hill defended the postotfice COM
mittee Miller of New York knew that the
senate rule prohibited the senate itself from
putting Legislative provisions on the appro-
priation bills, but he did not believe it re-
uuired the senate to strike out such pro-
vision found in the house bill.
Senator Conger favored retaining the pro-
visions. He would not be prevented by a
mere sentiment as to the rules from voting for
proper legislation.
After considerable further discussion as to
the operations Of senate rules, which was par
ticipated in By Williams, sherman, Miller
of New York, Miller Of California, Plumb,
Hawley, Hoar, Mitchell, Coc&rell and Ed
munds, the senate disagreed TO the committee
amendment, vote, IS yeas, 33 nays, so far as
that amendment related to letter postage,
leaving the newspaper provision yetto be
acted upon.
Tue senate then went into executive ses-
sion, and when the doors reopened it ad
journed until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The river and
barbor bill is slowly dragging along and it is
now much weaker than ever. To-day the
section containing the appropriation for the
construction of the Hennepin canal was
ruled out on a point Of order. The effect Of
this will be TO largely array against the bill
the members FROM the Northwestern states.
These will make com bination In antagon-
ism TO the measure with members from the
South who are disgruntled because the Eads
scheme for the improvement of the Calves
ton harbor was defeated. Between the fire
the bill is now subjected to it would be little
wonder if 1t failed in all entirety.

THE SCHEME WORKED.
A Cleveland, o., Merchant Rigs Up a Sue
cessful Burgla iller.

CLEVELAND, O., Feb. 20.-Miton Morton,
proprietor Of hardware store, becam e
alarmed recently lest his place
should be burglarzed and devised a
plan that worked to perfection. Last
Sunday he arranged loaded revolver In such
a manner that when the window was opened
the contents of the weapon would be dis
charged into the breast of the Intruder. Two
days later the window was found partly
raised and the weapon empty. The police
were notified and straightway began to
look for the man with a bullet in his chest.
Tonight, Michael Murray, at No. 12 Han
over street, was arrested us the guilty party.
He was conducted to the Central station,
and the officers had the satisfaction Of fnd-
ing an ugly bullet hole on Murray's
right chest. The youth then made n
confession. He stated that he visited Nor
toms store last Monday night, and had
raised the window few inches, when there
was fash and the report of a revolver. He
fed, and running some distance, became
aware of tue fact that he had been hit.

Manning Declared Ineligible.

Special 10 the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. .20.-Daniel Manning Of
New York, who is talked of for secretary OF
the treasury, evidently comes under the bane
Of neligiblity. Section 243 of the revised
statutes prescribes that no person can be
eligible to the Office of secretary of the treas
ury who is concerned in the purchase of any
public securities of any state or the United
Sites. MIR. Manning being president of a
national bank is so interested and good
lawyers claim he is ineligible. Mr.. Manning
is president of the Commercial National
bank of fAlbany. This bank, as do all other
national banks, receives its circulating notes
by depositing in the United States treasury
bonds Of the United States. As the presi-
dent of such bank Mr.. Manning is con :
cerned il the purchase and disposal of the
securities Of the United States. OF course if
ne desired to become secretary Of the treasury
Mr.. Manning could disrobe himself of his
bank connections, but in retaining them
lawyers of distinction hold him to be clearly
ineligible.
When President Grant nomin ated. "A. T.
Stewart to be secretary of the treasury be was
found 10 be ineligible under the clause
heretofore quoted because he was an i'm
porter.

has continued to do so up to the present
hour, although MIR. Whitney, who is in Al
bany, is as earnestly favoring Manning's
selection This Is the real story of the latter
day prominence in which Manning's name
has been associated with the treasury port
folio. 1t is claimed that Senator Bayard's
second visit to Albany was desired by the
president-elect, that he might discuss with
him the views that had been presented in
favor Of Mr.. Manning. 1t is said not only
the senator from Delaware, but nearly every
visitor has spoken in more than fair terms
of the justice and adyisability of Manning's

NEW York, Feb. 2O.-The Yale Alumni as
sociaton Of New York gave a delightful re-
ception tonight TO William NJ. Evarts,
United States senator-elect. At 1910 Chaun-
cey VI. Depew, president Of the association,
led Mr.. Evarts TO the banquet ball, and after
refreshments Depew began the labor Of a
pleasant speech. Among other Things he
said that Evarts and himself had
lately been grieved by the fact that
very many Of the Yale alumni had been
Mugwumps, and it was not expected
in the greeting Of Evarts that any one of
them would sbdieate the functions of a
Mugwump, but would in the future criticiss
freely auy and all measures that Evarts
might advance. Yale had an elastic princi-
pie for her sons; she was responsible for
none OF their errors, but all their successes
were due to what she had given them. Re
ferring then to Evarts' career and claiming
him AS a son Of Yale, Depew proposed his
health
