Our trade has grown to large propor-

100 tons per day. Yet Notwithstanding
this heavy trade. we intend to greatly IN

nothing but the best goods.

FEARFUL RIDE TO DEATH.
Four Men Killed and Three Fatally In
jured BY the Wrecking OF
Coal Train.

charleston CIV. va) speciall
A fearful accident occurred on the Cabin
Greek Railroad, resulting in the instant
death Of the following persons:
L. S. GAYLORD. Superintendent Of the
works here.
THOMAS PEACOCK.
AMOS MITCHELL.
JOSEPH HALL.
At the same time three other men were
seriously and perhaps fatally injured, among
whom were Mr.. Thoman. Superintendent
of the Coil Valley Coal Company.
The men with Mr.. Oakford were on a
train of cars proceeding to the mines, when
six of the cars broke loose, and, running
rapidly down the incline, jumped the track
causing the cars to be piled up in a broken
mass. There were nine men on the fugi-
tive cars, four of whom were dead when
found, and three others are so badly in
jured that but little hopes are ent rtained
of their recovery. The other two men es-
capped with slight injuries. Mr.. Oakford
was a native of Scranton.
The Cabin Creek Road is seven miles
long, and is used for transportation of coal
from the mines to the Chesapeake and
Ohio track. 1t is q short distance above
Charleston.

THE SPOILS SYSTEM.

Sweeping Changes I'm the Internal Revenue
ONCE Have Dcmorslized the Service.
WASHINGTON special to Chicago Tribune.l
1t is generally conceded at the
Treasury Department that the result
Of the sweeping changes in the force of
Internal Revenue Collectors affords a
striking argument against the spoils
system in its effects upon the public
service. All but nineteen Collectors
have been displaced, and inexperienced
men have been substituted, and the
service has consequently suffered. The
subordinate officers under the Collect
ors not being included in the civil
service rules, a clean sweep is reported
to have been made in many cases. The
results of this substitution of inexpe-
fenced for trained workers has been
,riously felt in the department work.
II many instances the clerical force
has shown its incompetency, and seri-
Gus complications have resulted. Cir
culars of instructions have been issued
on matters so trivial that they would
seem to be wholly unnecessary if the
employees were at all acquainted with
their duties. The difficulties arising
from changes in the service are still
more serious in the apparent develop
ment of schemes and tricks to defraud
the revenue wherever it has been sup
posed that the inexperience of the new
Collector could be taken advantage of.
Many of the old devices with which the
older Collectors are familiar, and
which would not have been attempted
while they we're in Office, have now
been revived. Investigations Of frauds
in measurements, counterfeiting of
stamps, and numerous other devices,
are in progress almost all over the
country, and an increased amount of
illicit distilling in the South is con-
coded. The trained agents who have
long been in the service, and who have
been promoted from subordinate posi-
tions, are the men who are now dis
covering these frauds, and they ara the
men upon whom the Government
wholly relies to save the revenue
service from disgrace.

New York telegram
II is estimated that at least 40, 900 people
filed past the tomb of Gen. Grant last Sum
day. 1t was the greatest crowd that has
visited Claremont since the funeral The
visitors came by every road leading to the
park, and began arriving early in the morn
ing. All the surface roads leading any
where near the park were crowded, and
the elevated lines ran extra trains.
There were a number of extra police
as we'll as many detectives In civil cloth
ing. but there was not the slightest disor-
der. and there was no occasion for their
services ct any point in the neiRhborhood
of the tomb. BY noon the crowd had 40

itors filed slowly past the entrance to the
vault three or four abreast That Clare

was shown to-day by the numbers who
fingered there after passing the tomb.
Thousands walked to the top OF
the knoll beyond, and then spread over the
lawn above the bluff which commands the
magnificent view of the Hudson. Some Of
the paths of entrance and exit about One
Hundred and Thirtieth street are steep and
dangerous, and it became necessary to-day
to close them. The people take q great
interest in the camp of the regular soldiers
on guard, and come as near to the tents as
the guards will allow. To-day a double
guard was on duty, and only friends and
families of the soldiers were admitted. One
of the visitors to Capt Fessenden was Leu
tenant Brownell, who killed the man who
killed Ellsworth at Alexandria.

The Late John Nichols, vics Presi-
dent Of the Fort Worth City
National Bank.

A startling rumor spread through this
city to-day TO the effect that the late John
Nichols. Vice President Of the City Ma
tional Bank, whose sudden death occurred
last Monday at the bank was defaulter to
a large amount Immediately after his de-
mise the officers of the City National Bank
called meeting Of all the other bankers of
the city to investigate the affairs of the
bank. This committee report that they
find the late Woe President Nichols to have
been O defaulter to the amount Of about
$4,000, but the committee consider the
bank sound. Nichols was also City Treas
urer, but thus far no irregularities in his
accounts as such have been discovered So
far as known tonight the outside i'm
debtedness Of Nichols on individual notes
amounts to but $40, 900. although rumors
are current that his private Indebtedness is
much larger Where the stolen money
went Is as yet n mystery, as Nichols was
man Of frugal habits, and did not drink or
gamble. His funeral yesterday was the
largest ever Witnessed In this city. His
body will probably be exhumed in order to
settle the question whether or not he

The TRUNK MURDERER,
2rsllsfs Alleged Slayer in JaH at st.
Louis He Refuses 70 Talk
About the Case.


Walter II. Lennox Maxwell. alias T. @.
Daughter. alias Hugh M. Brooks. the sup
posed murderer Of @. Arthur Preller at the
Southern Hotd In this city on the 9Th of
last April. arrived here on Sunday from
San Francisco in charge of Detective Tracy
and Officer Badger, OF the st. Louis police
force. A crowd of from 1000 to 3,e00
men, women. and children were at the
depot when the train arrived, and there was
great scramble among them TO get view
Of the prisoner. but good order was pre-
served
The accounts Of reporters who rode in
from Halstead, Kan, on the train with
Maxwell, and had free access to him and to
the officers in charge Of him, are to the
effect that he absolutely refused to talk
about his case and positively asserted that
he has ct no time or place made any state
ment In regard to Il. or in any way ac-
knowledged that he had anything to do
with Preiler. or knew anything about it.
He says all stories to the contrary are
wholly untrue. Detective Tracy thinks
that further developments will show Max
well TO be weak man. mentally. but that
he has got the one idea wedged into his
mind that his safety depends on his
silence, and that he will startle no.
body with o romantic defense. Tracy
thinks he killed Preller for money;
that the few admissions he has made
point in that direction; that his voyage
from st. Louis to Auckland was a money
spending debauch, and not we'll planned
escape from justice. and that it was the
luck that takes care Of drunkards and fools
that stood him in stead. and not any good
management Of his own.
MAXWELL vaa in Chief HarriCnn's office
an hour or so this afternoon. and large
number OF callers were introduced to him.
but nothing regarding his case or what line
of defense he will pursue was obtained
from him. Charles BIGGER, the trunk
maker, recognized Maxwell rs the man to
whom he sold the trunk in which Preller's
body WAS found, and a porter ut the South
ern Holsl recognized him as having been a
guest at that house in Apriklast. Maxwell
will be turned over by the police authori-
ties tomorrow to the Sheriff and will be
placed in Jail. What other. il any. legal
acfi on will be taken. has not yet been de-
termin ed.

They look forward to n season of activity
among the mills Of that section. All tho

to de so at an early day. The fact that
Brown, Bonnell Il Co. ran at such good
profit last year." said a gentleman this
morning. ain the face OF declining trade
shows conclusively that they can do still
better this year. There is no doubt but
that trade is better. Let it not be forgotten
that the workmen have accepted reduc-
ton in wages. The manufacturer who
says that the prospects are not encouraging
makes statement which the workmen, at
least. do not believe" President Weihe
says that nearly all of the mills in the as
ISOLATION have signed the scale with the
exception of those in the Wheeling dis
trict In the latter place the trouble is be-
tween the nahers and the manufacturers.
When the trouble is settled President
Weihe believes that the scale will be signed
there without any objection.

They Are Disposed to Get Out OF Indian
Territory as Fast as Possible.
Washington special
The War Department has received no
reply from General Miles to the telegram
ordering him to make the necessary
preparations for the execution of the Pres
idents proclamation commanding the evac-
uation of Indian Territory. No reply was,
however. expected, as General Miles has
ample force under his direction and
within available distance of the
Indian lands. and is in all re-
spects prepared to forcibly carry
out the terms of the proclamation il neces-
sary. From the advices received the Ad-
jutant General does not believe that mill
tary interference will be required. He is
informed that the cattle men scarcely lost
an hours time after their conference with
the President 1t is not expected that the
terms of the proclamation as to time will
be fully complied with. but at the expira-
ton of the forty days it is thought that the
intruders will be found ON the march NOV
ing out Of the Territory as rapidly as they
could be elected by the troops, and in this
event. of course. there will be nothing for
the soldiers to do.
