SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Collision On the Wabash Railroad Near
st. Louis-An Engineer and Conductor
Killed.
ST. LOUIS, NO., June 25.-A fatal acct
dent occurred on the Wabash Railroad
at Woodstock, few miles this side OF
Ferguson Station, and just outside the
city limits. The Ferguson accommoda-
ton due in st. Louis at 1925 collided
with freight train No. 20 at Woodstock.
Engineer Stewart, of the freight, was
caught under the wreck, being unable
to clear himself, and was killed. Con.
ductor Mann, of the accommodation,
was also crushed SO badly that he
survived only short time after
being taken out. These two, as far
as is known, are the only ones
killed, and the injuries to others on the
trains are only scratches and bruises. No
passengers, as far as could be ascer.
tanned, were either killed or severely
wounded. The freight conductors watch
was exactly six minutes behind time.
AS soon as the Information was re.
ceived at the railroad offices the wreckine
outfit was at once dispatched to the scene
with surgeons, and left the Union Depot
at 1920. From that on physicians were
telephoned for from all over town, and at
2:3O another special was sent out bearing
another crew of surgeons.
THE FERGUSON ACCOMMODATION
carries usually large number of people
into the city, as it is put on for the ben
eft of suburban residents entirely. The
result, if the meagre reports received
may be trusted, is very fortunate one

CABINET GOSSIP.

A Weak Leg I'm the Cabinet Said to be Caus-
ing Anxiety in the Mind of the President
Hints That Bayard May Retire.
NEW YORK, June 25.-The Suns Wash
ington special from an occasional cor
respondent says: CAN is not harmony IN
the Cabinet, and the President Is
troubled. He is not at one with the
Secretary of State, and the difference s
that have arisen will not be mitigated by
time or obliterated in the progress of the
administration. Bayard's course in re-
gard to appointments and the general
spirit in which he has conducted the de-
partment, have been great disappoint.
ment to the President, and to some other
members of tho Cabinet. Bayard, they
tain; his course has not been guided
by any fixed policy or logical purpose,
and he is declared to be the one dissen-
tent and permanently inharmonious ele-
ment in the administration. The objec-
tons to Bayard are cumulative, and no
degree of patience, leniency or ingenious
explanation can conceal either the pres
ent drift or ultimate result. That result
is that Bayard will presently leave the
Cabinet. The President is kindly dis
posed aud by nature very tolerant man,
but in respect to what he regards as nm
justifiable obstacles he knows no amen
tiles whatever"
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 25.-In re-
ply to an inquiry to-day respecting his
probable retirement from the Cabinet,
Secretary Bayard said: "It is Mr.. Clcve-
lands Cabinet. You had better 60 and
see him about it. l have nothing to say
in regard to the matter"

Death of Hon. Richard T. Merrick at Wash.
ington-His Wife and Daughter Lying


Death of Hon. Richard T. Merricls at Wash.
ington-His Wife and Daughter Lying
Dangerously Ill.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 23.-Hon.
Richard T. Merrick, who has been lying
i'll for some days past, died at 1880 this
morning. He was fifty-seven years OF
age, and came from a well-known Mary
land family. When the war with Mexico
broke out Mr.. Merpick raised company
and did gallant service during the war.
Before the conclusion of the war, he
began the practice of law. He was also
sent to the State Legislature. Shortly
before the late war he went to Chicago,
and formed a copartnership with a lead
ing member of the bar of that city. He
was delegate from Illinois to the DEM
cratic National Convention of 1860, and
supported Stephen A. Douglas. In 1854
he removed from Chicago to Washington.
During the twenty years he practiced in
Washington he held an eminent place at
the bar, and has been engaged in some OF
the most important cases before the
Supreme Court Of the United States. He
was one of the principal counsel before
the Electoral Commission, and in recent
years was before the public in the prose
cution of the Star-route cases. He al.
ways maintained controlling influence
in the politics OF Maryland, while his ex'
tended acquaintance with public men
gave him prominence in National politics.
Mrs. Merrick is very ill. She has beer
suffering the most eAcruciating pain from
assesses in both ears, and was sent
away from home, as it was thought thai
her presence as witness of the suffer
ing of her husband might endanger hel
life. One of the daughters is in Phila.
delphia under treatment for spinal
trouble; another has a severe nervous
complaint, which, aggravated by hel
fathers illness, has rendered her tenn
oorarily blind

tor of the Treasury.
WAsHINGToN, D. c., June 24.-Four-
teen clerks were discharged in the Six tn
Auditors Office of the Treasury Depart
ment yesterday to take effect July 1st, on
the grounds of inefficiency. Their places
will be left vacant. Sixth Auditor Nc
Conville states that there are forty other
clerks in his office whose services could
also be dispensed with for like reasons,
and the Bureau work facilitated thereby.
They will be gradually weeded out,
though the appropriation bill gives this
Office forty-ive additional clerks after
July 1st. Auditor McConville does
not think he will need so many,
and will probably not make
requisition on the Civil Service Commits.
sion for more than thirty. He says that
the work in his Office, which was months
behind hand when he took charge, is not
now more than two months in arrears,
and he hopes to have it all up by August
31st. Should he take the forty-fve clerks
allowed, he would, he thinks, have to
discharge some of them by September
1st, as they would not be needed after
that date. From present indications he
expects to have a considerable sum left
over in his allowance for clerical force to
turn into the Treasury at the end OF the
fiscal year.

AN EDITORS PERIL.

ATTEMPTED Assassination Of Hon. George
A. Huntington, Editor Of tho Grafton
wv. Val s'Sentinel'-The Result OF Poli..
tical Amin osities-The CuIprit ut Large
GRAFTON, w. VA, June 25.-This place
has been greatly excited over the shoot
ing with intent to kill, of the Hon. Geo.
A. Huntington, editor of the Sentinel,
and one OF the best known men In the
State. The cause of the dastardly crime
is supposed to be set forth in the follow
ing anonymous letter received by MI.
Huntington few days ago, but which
he at the time kept secret:
"GRArToN, June 15.
DrNNINGToN:-We don't want any
damned traitors in our party. Ii you
have made bargain with McGraw, come
out and say so, so we will know whicn
side YOU are on. We don't want TO take
a paper which pretends to be Republican
and is published in the interests OF DEM
ocrats Mccormick is right, and you are
a renegade Democrat. believe you had
better leave town, or you might wake up
some morning and find yourself In nell.
l see by the Eagle that you talk private
to McGraw You had better sell out TO
him and be done with 1t. man who
will kick Republican out OF office amt
a GOOD Republican, and ought to be run
out of town. Damn you, go, or we Will
make you! REPUBLICAN,.
The McGraw referred to in this epistle
is the recently appointed Democratic
Collector of Internal Revenue for this
State, vice Mccormick, Republican,
ousted by the exertions of bennington
and the Wheeling Intelligencer. Dunning-
ton saw fit to treat the letter with con-
tempt. Last night he attended the Tenn
perance State Convention as reporter for
the Wheeling Intellfgencer. After the
adjournment he remained in the tele-
graph Office until after midnight. On
returning to his hotel man sprang out
of an alley way and leveled reVoiv yer at
his head. Huntington struck down the
pistol just as the trigger was pulled, and
the ball passed through his leg. The
would-be assassin fed, and despite the
closest search, has not been found.
