SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Wreck by Rear-End Collision on tha Wa
bash ROad-ConductOr Meredith Crushed
to Death in His Caboose--Sevcral Others
Slightly Injured.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, December 30.-About
seven O'Clock this morning, sections one
and two of freight train No. 299, collided
near Kinder, a flag station on the Wabash
Road near this city. The two sections
were going in the same direction, when
the one in the rear began to gain on the
one in front. The engineer of the rear
locomotive blew his whistle, which caused
Conductor w. C. Meredith, of the section
in front, to run out on the platform.
The next moment terrible collision
occurred, and the cabooSe was smashed
to Splinters. About five cars were de-
rallied and upset, and the locomotive on
the rear train was considerably damaged.
Conductor Meredith was found dead in
the wreck of the caboose. He was badly
crushed. Several other persons were
slightly injured. The accident is ascribed
to the carelessness of the engineer of the
rear section.
As soon as the news reached this city
wreckins train was sent to the scene of
the disaster, and it is expected the tracks
will be cleared by three O'Clock this after
noon.
Some of the Wabash trains were de
layed, but little loss of time experienced.

.HE BASEBALL MIDDLE.

The "Mets" Reinstated in the American
Association and Everything LOvely--Re-
suit of the Annual Meeting.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, December ga
special meeting of the American Associa-
ton of base ball clubs, called to take ac-
ton upon the recent decision of Judge
Thayer, declaring illegal the action of the
Association in eXpelling the Metrop oil
tans, was held last evening. Previous to
the meeting, at which there was a full
representation, it was proposed at an in.
formal conference of the delegates that
Roseman and Orr should be released
from the reserve list of
the Metropolitan club. Mr.. Wiman
refused to agree to this, and with
the other Metropolitan delegate, Secre-
tary Williams, withdrew from the room.
The other delegates consulted for two
hours, when after deciding that the de-
mand for Roseman and Orr's release was
an unreasonable one, the Metropolitan
delegates were admitted and the meeting
was called to order. All matter in the
minutes of the annual meeting re-
latiug to the status of Metropolitan
Club in the Association was stricken
from the records, and the election
of officers and all other business
of the annual meeting was disposed of.
Mcssrs. Byrne, of Brooklyn; Phillips, of
Louisville, and Mimmick, of Pittsburgh,
the present Arbitration Committee, were
reelected, and Messrs. Caylor, of Cincin-
natl; Simmons, of Philadelphia, and

DAKoTA.s CHAMPION.

Senator Harrison, Chairman of the Com
mittee on Territories, Preparing His An
swer to Senator Vest On the Subject oil
the Admission of Dakota to Statehood.
WASHINGTON, d. c., December 3d.
Senator Harrison, who is Chairman of the
Committee on Territories. and who is
championing Dakota in her efforts to
gain admission to the Union, has been
busy in his committee-room during the
holidays answering correspondence on
this subject from the Northwest, and pre-
pairing his reply to Messrs. Vest and But
Ter on the proposition to inquire if the
Statehood movement is not revolution
airy. To United Press reporter this
morning Senator Harrison expressed the
belief that whatever the result of this agi-
cation might be, there would be nothing
done by the citizens of Dakota
that would be unlawful, because
they were not disposed to iniure their
future prospects with Congress by any
rash act. at is almost enough, said
he, ''to drive the people of Dakota to
revolutionary acts to refuse them
Statehood. Such a thing never was
known before in this or any other coun-
lily. Nearly HILL d lullIlOH VI pcOplC, law
abiding and capable of self-government,
with more than all the qualifications
for Statehood, being exiled and
constantly refused it, on purely political
grounds. 1t should not be surprise to
see these people desperate, for it is
despotic to keep from them all rights OF
American citizenship when they are
American citizens in fact. Intelligent,
thrifty, energetic men do no like to be
DISTINGUISHED, and since they must obey
the laws of the United States and bow
to the dictation of her officers, they
most naturally want voice
in making those laws and
selecting those officers. Already there
are States in the Union with but one
member of the Lower House in Congress,
and Dakota, if admitted, will be clearly
entiHed to at least two from the very
start. Such injustice belongs to the dark
days of England and Russia, and the time
of the inquisition. The position of Mr..
Vest is unenviable, both politically and
personally, and can not be maintained.

A Compromise Measure Likely to be Re-
sorted to for the Purpose of Preventing a
Conflict Between the President and Con-
gress--Interviews Between Speaker Car
Isle and the President.
Boston, MASS, December ga
Washington special to the Transcript
says: ga number of prominent Demo-
cratic Representatives, among them
Speaker Carlisle, have been in confer
ence for the last few days for the pur-
pose of devising some way to prevent
conflict between the President and
Congress on the silver question. They
have reached the conclusion that unless
some compromise is agreed upon be-
tween the extreme men on both sides ON
this question an interminable conflict
with the Administration is inevitable.
With the view to prevent this, Speaker
Carlisle has had several interviews
with the President, who he finds
well disposed to treat the
convictions of the extreme silver
men with fair consideration. The
Speaker finding the President so well dis
posed, suggested that compromise of
some kind be agreed upon, to which the
President is said to have heartily assent,
ed. 1t is now thought by many that after
the converting of Congress a call for a
caucus of Democratic Senators and Rep
reSentativeS will be issued for the pur
pose of adjusting this matter if possible.
Among the plans proposed is the passage
of the bill to limit the coinage of silver to
$3.50, 900, and to leave it discretionary
with the President whether that amount
shall be increased or not. Another plan
is to issue certificates of ones, twos and
and fives based either on bullion or coined
dollars in the Treasury. The idea of the
compromise is to conciliate silver men
and give them an opportunity of preserv-
ing their political status with their con-
stituents. Members who have this mat
ter in charge are hopeful that compro-
mise of this kind will be agreed upon.
