The transfer of three Senators to the cabinet
has brought on contests in as many states over
the succession, the result of which cannot yet
be foretoid. But SO far names have been
mentioned, it does not look as if the new men
would MI the vacant places in reputation before
the country. 1t is a little singular. by the way,
that the cabinet trio were all members Of the
Judiciary committee. This will necessitate 4
recast of that committee, membership which
n greatly desired by Senators. At first thought
Mr.. Evarts would be chosen as one of the new
members, but, as the party representation in the
committee is fixed, the vacancies Will go to
democrats

A FRIGHTFUL collision occurred on
the b. & o., about one mile east of Bell
mont. on Monday morning, between the
west bound accommodation and the help
er east bound. Both engines were
wrecked. Engineer VIM. Butter worth
was badly cut about the face and neck,
and his right leg was so badly crushed
that amputation was necessary. His
fireman. Michael Cosgrove. who jumped
as the engines struck. alighted upon a
fence and was badly hurt. Both of these
were removed to their homes at Newark.
Robert Hite, engineer of the helper, was
scalded on the right arm and hand,
and was otherwise injured. He was
taken to his home in Bellaire, as Was
also Jack .Baugh, jr., whose injuries me-
cessitated the amputation of his right
arm above the elbow. One of his legs
and right side we're badly bruised. The
baggage master of the accommodation,
George Wheat, was thrown on the boiler
tank and was terribly scalded about the
breast, arms and hands, the flesh falling
off the latter Mrs. Gregg, an old lady

burned by being thrown against the
stove. Other passengers were badly
shaken mp and alarmed, but no other se'
rious injuries are reported. The cause
