WASHINGTON, August 21.-The
Chicago express and the Hagers.
town accommodation trains, both oil
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
collided at 9:45 o'clock this morning
at the "Y," corner of First and /
streets northwest. Engineer Charles
Stuart, OF the Hagerstown train,
tried to avert the accident by using
the air brakes, but found that they
would not work. The Chicago train
came around the " Y" at full speed
and crashed into the train. The
shock was terrific, completely
smashing in the front ofrhe Hagers.
town engine, and driving the tender
completely through the front part of
the baggage car. Engineer Stuart
and Fireman John Smith were
thrown from the cab. Mrs. Ellen
Howes, an old lady living at 1858 NJ
street, was severely cut in the fore

and young lady was slightly hurt.
The passengers on the Chicago train
were uninjured, and not a few, how
ever, escaped shaking up. The en-
CINE was badly used up, and the
lower part of the baggage car was
twisted into splinters. Fireman
Rainshower was badly cut and bruis-
ed. Both trains were well laden with
passengers, and it is believed that
many people were more or less hurt

NIAeRA FALLS, ONTARIO, August

NIAGRA FALLS, ONTARIO, August
William j. Kendall, of Boston,
to day swan successfully, in a cork
vest, the Whirlpool Rapids Of the
Niagra river. The trial was to set
tie wager of $4,000 made by Bos-
ton parties, he to receive $1,000 of
the stakes. There were few specta-
tors Of the affair, it having been kept
quiet. Kendall relates the following
experiences when he reached the
spot where Captain Webb is suppos-
ed to have lost his life. The water
seemed to go from under him, aud a
huge wave struck him on the head
and shoulders, knocking him un-
conscious for few moments. He
found his swimming abilities of no
use whatever, and never expected to
come out alive. When entering the
whirlpool he was so benumbed and
partly unconscious, that he could not
use limb and did not know what
he was doing. The current took him
right into the main eddy and suck
ed him down like a fash, keeping
him under fully fifteen seconds.
Upon reaching the under current he
was shot out of the pool fully fifty
feet from it's center. When he reach
ed the surface of the water he had
partly regained consciousness and
knowing there was no time to spare
before he would be dashed down the
lower rapids he swan to the shore.

The release of Cutting on the
ground that his punishment has al.
ready been sufficient will complete
the defeat of Secretary Bayard, for
it will leave the principle for which
he bas contended unretracted by
Mexico.
Cutting was tried in Mexico for
an offence committed in the United
States. Bayard insisted that Mex
leo has no jurisdiction over offences
committed on our territory. He
therefore demanded the auncon-
ditional release of Cutting.n But
the Mexicans wouldn't release him.
On the contrary, they insisted on
their right to try offences committed
on American soil, and they actually
tried, convicted and imprisoned Cut.
ting on this charge, and did all this
in tue face of Bayard demand for
unconditional release. Now, it is
true that Mexican diplomacy has
kept Mr.. Bayard amused. Mr..
Romero, the Mexican minister, con-
tinued to assure Mr.. Bayard orally
that Cutting would be released, and
Mr.. Bayard accepted these assur-
ances with guileless simplicity
that was touching to behold. Final.
~, after these promises were violat-
ed, aud Cutting, instead of being
released, had been tried and con.
demned and imprisoned, Mr.. Bay
ard sent down Mr.. Sedgwick to in
quire into the facts. His demand
of unconditional release is followed
a month later by the inquiry wheth.
er he had right to make such a de-
mand. Thus it doesn't make any
difference what Mr.. Sedgwick may
report, Mexico, when she releases
Cutting, will have asserted and ex.
ercised her claim to try an Amer
lean citizen for an offence commit
ted on American soil, punish him as
she deems necessary in spite of Bay
ards threats and buster, and then
let him 60 monument of the vindi-

A justice of the peace up in Fred.

brought him over into MARYLAND

that the justice could not punish

back to his Office to get books to
prove it. While he was gone. the
justice thought be would make sure
of it, so he ordered his constable to
give the thief nine-and thirty lashes.
The learned counsel got back with
his books just as the prisoner was
putting on his coat after a very
thorough licking. The lawyer was
highly excited. He exclaimed 10

ENsILAGE.-We are glad to learn
that one of Berkeley's farmers has
taken hold of the ensilo process of
keeping green food for wintering
stock. This process of feeding stock
has been adopted by many of the
leading farmers and stock raisers in
the country. Volumes have been
written ON its advantages in the in
crease of milk, butter and beef. Mr..
Elijah S. Tabler, of Opequon Dis
trict, is now putting into his silo
from twelve to fifteen tons of corn
per day, cut in one-halfineh lengths.
The silo will hold about sixty tons.
1t is of his own planning and con-
structing. In this county where
there is so much late corn, it would
be a great advantage and saving in
feed, were farmers to preserve it by
the silo process. The corn may also
be stored away in full lengths, and
cut up when taken out to feed The
cost of building a silo and storing
the fodder is very small-not over
10 cents per ton. We shall be glad
to lay Mr.. Tabler's experience before
our farmers from time to time.
