a Horrible Fate.

ECINcINNATI, O., July S.-An accident of a
peculiarly horrible nature occurred near
Harrison yesterday. A Blue line freight
traln was derailed and in a car half filed
with lime were two colored tramps. When
the accident occurred the car was overturned
and the lime thrown over the tramps. Their
screams betrayed their presence, but it took
an hour to dig them out by which time they
were fearfully burned and will lose their
eyes if not their lives. They were brought
to the hospital here

The removal or suspension" of Postmas-
tiers Barker of Portland, and Banks of Bidde-
ford, affords another eloquent commentary
upon the hypocrisy of the frequent proclaim
ations that faithful and efficient officers
would not be disturbed during their terms.
Ii the administration had declared frankly
that it proposed to take the offices away
from the Republicans and give them to DEM
oerats, the public would have understood it
and there would have been some consistency
about it, but thus far there has been an alter
nation Of procamations of devoted adher-
ence to civil service reform methods followed
in every case by the most fragrant violations
of those pledges P0stmasters Barker and
Banks were efficient and excellent officers,
and there can be no reason assigned for their
removal except that Democrats wanted their
places. The Republican Senate will be like
" to require from this civil Service Reform
Administration" some better reasons than
have yet been made public before they 'ad-
wise and consent" to the summary removal
of thoroughly excellent officers solely to make
room for the hungry and thirsty"
