IoNpON. Dee IA movement was in
augmatcd horc yesterday which involves
the most astounding scheme of political
revenge and prescription in the history of
this generation. The movement grew out
of amcctu4 at the National liberal club
of those liberal members elect whose ma
ioritics have been reduced by the Irish
vote for the tories Great bitterness
against the Irish was displayed. Many of
the speakers said that their own Irish
workmru whom they had provided with
.ustenaucc IN trouhlous times, agitated
and voted against their masters at the bid
ding of strangers Other speakers declared
that it was easily proven by statistics
and 10y every mans own observation
that the chief employers of Irish
labor in Great Britain were Liberals
These great Liberal prOprietOrs had free
~ employed Irish artisans and labOrers.
and a considerable proportion of the wages
had gone To- strengthen the National
League agitation. Therefore, the speak
ere declared. it would be suicidal folly and
madness To continue to nOurish such vi
perS in their bu-um~ The result of the
meeting was the adoption, by a unanimous
vote, of a resolution pledging each gen

BRINGING SUDDEN DEATH TO ELEVEN
SOULS.
Two Georgia Trains Run on the Same
Track a Rushing Headlight Rounds
II Curve and u Train is Telcscop-
ed Responsibility Unknown

ATLANTA, Ga, Dee. IA frightful col
lision occurred early this morning. fifteen
miles from Atlanta in which eleven lives
were lost and three persons fatally iujur-
ed. The circumstances are as follows /:
| The East Tennessee and Georgia Pacific
roads use the same track from Atlanta to
Austell, where they diverge. one mile
east of Austell towards Atlanta, is water
tank used by the Georgia Pacific Last
night the Georgia Pacific was somewhat
delayed and when it stopped at the water
tank it was on the East Tennessee track.
The East Tennessee passenger train
came flying around the curve an Il without
moments warning went crashing into the
rear of the Georgia Pacific train. The en-
gineer and fireman of the East Tennessee
train saw the other train but it was too
late The fireman jumped but the en-
gineer remained, reversing his engine and
applying the brakes, but tn no purpose.
The engine tore its way into the rear coach
which telcsCOped the one in front, which
in turn was forced into the one ahead of it.
The rear coach was filled with passengers.
many of whom were so pinned down ~ to
be unable to STIR and the escaping steam
soon caused the death of five OF six. The
air All wa, dizziness. and the
statements of these who FASTENED to the
scene say that words cannot describe the
situation. A. soon as possible the east
Tennessee train was backed from the
wreck and the work of removing the dead
and wounded commenced. At 30 Il train
left here hearing physicians. The officers
of the road Immediately set at work To-
have the track cleared which WAS done at
$40 this morning. About $50 II. n IL

High Farming.

If American farmers do not speedily
get rid of Improbable methods the news
papers will not be to blame, for a great
deal of sound advice on agriculture is
being given nowadays. The most recent
good counsel is from the Natchez Demo-
crat, which says:
at would be easier for a single man to
fertilize an acre of land than it would be
to clear an acre of forest growth. A sin
gle man can plant green crops and plough
them in with more ease than he can pile
and burn the brush of heavily wooded
acre"
Farmers ought to be able to see the
wisdom OF this, yet thousands of them
are trying to increase the yield of their
unfertilized farms by adding an acre or
two to the area, when the same amount
OF labor and money expended on the land
already cleared would produce very much
larger results
Let the Natchez Democrat unload
some more wisdom of a similar sort !.
farmers all over the country are in great
need of it. New York Herald.

Idle Ships.

1t Is one of the curosites of commerce that
while the carrying trade of this city is constant
ly increasing there are more idle ships lying In
the san Francisco bay to-day than has been the
case within the memory of the oldest inhabi-
tant. AT the recent striking of a balance it was
found that the engaged tonnage was 81 JOG tons
and the disengaged 1852 tons, the proportion
being as regular in the number of craft three
vessels coming here on waiting orders to one
under charter. Some of the vessels now in the
stream have been lying there for more than two
years. The American ship Carroilton, for in
stance, has been here since February s. 1888
the GleEdOn came here on March 10, 1888, and
has been here ever since; the Ocean King has
not stirred from here since June l, 1888, and
the Wachusett has been constant visitor since
September %, 1888. The vessels against whose
sides the bay currents have swashed for six
eight and twelve months are literally too num-
erous to mention. The low price of breadstuffs
In Europe and the consequent low freights are,
of course, the reason for these long time addi-
tons to our floating homes San Francisco

BY DORA READ GOODALE.

BY DORA READ GOODALE.
We took long forsaken road,
Green naples bending over;
Between the deep sunk cart ruts, showed
narrow, grassy border, gay
With shepherds purse and caraway
And rabbitfoot and clover.
We saw, about TIE silent lake.
Thick ranks of glossy laurel;
The hill was crowned with brush and brake
And wild spra's rosy spires,
The crumbling wall was choked in briers,
The fields were red with sOrrel.
The MONDAY fell on waste and wood:
Deep glowed the golden weather.
In green, encircling solitude
We felt our meeting glance confess:
with love there Is no loneliness
No loneliness together!''
Again we take the winding track
No change by hill or hollow;
We watch the forest stretching back.
The same slow moss on stock and stone,
The same red roses overblown--
They beckOn and we followl
Yet, oh /. this the enchanted way?
Is this the happy weather:
Mysterious change that blots the day!
Long moments when our eyes confess
The pang of silent loneliness
We're lonely here togetherl

Through Miles of Dead Fish.

The schooner Alice Montgomery, Captain
Lavender. master, from Kennebec River, with
a cargo of ice, arrived at her wharf at New
Orleans, Saturday. The captain reports that
on October 10Th, when about ten miles off
Rebecca Shoals, in the Gulf of Mexico, about
400 miles from the mouth of the river, he en-
countered vast quantities of floating fish, dead
and dying. They embraced a great variety
many kinds being unknown to him, and they
extended as far as the eye could reach. The
sea was streaked with yellow. oily substance
and he sailed through this strange combination
of yellow water and dead fish for 90 miles. He
had no bad weather and generally fair winds
after entering the Gulf. This is not the first
time such phenomenon has been encountered
in these waters, and it has been attributed to
the eruption Of matter and poisonous gases
from submerged volcanoes. The appearance
of unusual varieties of fish from the deep sea
would Sc EN- to strengthen this theory.
