Extra editions were gotten out by the
afternoon papers, and the newSboys,
true TO their love for the national game,
gave the Chicagos' victory the call over
the anarchist trial in their efforts to sell
their papers. Perhaps the happiest
man in town about this time was Mr.
a q. Spalding, President of the Chicago
club. He sat in his office during the
entire afternoon answering questions
concerning the games that were fired at
him by this man and that, and receiv-
ing and replying to the telegraph mes
s3ges that were brought and sent by a
host of blue.cOated messenger boys.
When the victory was assured he sent
the following cOngratulatory telegram
to the White Stockings:

AN AwFu1 HAILnoAD ACCIDENT
Horrible Deaths OF an Engineer and
Three Firemen.

MICHIGAN CITY, IND, Jan. ia ter
rible collision occurred ON the Baltimore
& Ohio road near Coburg, a small station
% miles west of Aida, yesterday, whereby
one engineer and three fremen were
killed outright. The trains colliding were
both heavily loaded freights, the east
bound one being "double-heAder, +"
while the westward one was in tow of a
monster locomotive, known as camel
back. The train in charge of this engine
should have stopped at Aida for orders.
but the engineer and fireman,it is alleged,
were both asleep, and they ran to the
crossing at high rate and continued on
q down grade to the dreadful calamity
which awaited them. Both trains were
on down grade and rounded the curve
at the same time, going 95 miles an hour.
The result was that the three engines and
20 cars of merchandise and livestock
were heaped into one unrecognizable
mass. This caught fire and burned
tiercely for some time.
The engineer Of the westward train was
found with his head split open from the
crown to the neck and the face fell for
ward npon his breast, while his brains
were scattered over the locality. One
fireman became pinned in between pieces
of the wreck and was suspended by
his head until he was literally roasted
to death. A second fireman was cut COM
pletely in two and the dismembered parts
of his body were found some distance
apart. The third was badly injured and
died after few honrs of suffering. The
other two engineers escaped by jumping,
The extreme reticence of the Baltimore
q Ohio management prevented the OBJ
tanning of the names of the killed or in
jured employees.

One Man Frozen 10 Death -
Schooner In "a COrnfield.
RaItinnora Sun SnecIal

ONANoocK, Va, Jan. 13.-Late yester-
day afternoon a gentleman arrived here
from the extreme northeastern part of
Accomack bringing news of the ravages
of the recent storm along the upper
shores of Pocomoke sound. The storm
appears to have rage d there with greater
violence than anywhere else on the East
ern Shore. The heavy northwest wind
drove the waters of the sound up the
creeks and estuaries till nearly the whole
region in Messengo and Cat-tail necks
were inundated. Fences were swept
away, a number of storehouses were
flooded and the goods ruined; families
were forced to fly from their homes
near the water and find shelter in
higher places. A schooner of more than
100 tons burden was carried several hun
dred yards from where it was lying and
landed high and dry in cornfeld, and
large numbers of hogs and fowls per-
ished. Many persons finding themselves
cut off by the rising waters took refuge
in the upper stories, having knocked of
the Notwithstanding below to keep the
water from washing the building away.
One man named Hall was caught by the
storm in an oyster house built on piles,
and finding that he could not escape
lashed himself TO a beam of the building
where he was found the next morning
cold and stiff in death.

Pope Leo XIII has decreed an extra
ordinary jubilee of the Catholic church
throughout the world for the year 1886.
An ordinary Jubilee is decreed every 25
years, the last having been in 1875. The
purpose of the jubilee is to obtain
plenary indulgence and spiritual graces
by visits and prayers at churches,
as prescribed by the decree. The
jubilee of this year requires two
visits at intervals to three churches ap-
pointed by the bishop or other proper
authority, prayers for the church, for
concord among princes and all the faith
full, fasting for two days, ,as in Lent, giving
an aims especially for the parochial
school for seminaries for the clergy.

be applied by way of suffrage to the souls
who have departed this life, Joined in
charity with God"

Brunswick.
The Morocco Manufacturers National
Association held the winter semi-annual
meeting OF the Hotel Brunswick, New
York, Thursday afternoon. .@...
About 60 Of its members were present,
representing the most prominent morocco
firms in New York, Philadelphia, Will
mington, Boston, Newark, Baltimore,
Gloversville, N. Y, and Lynn. General
j. Parke Postles of this city presided, ,and

ming had revoked the duty of 10 to 10
cents pound laid by the decision of As
sistant Secretary Fairchild on woods of
the second-class, on the hair of the alpaca
goat, on skins used in morocco manufac-
ture. The trade during the year had been
depressed by the increased importations
of East India skins tanned by native
cheap labor. A noticeable improvement
however had been mrde in the processes
of manufacture here. A committee of
three was appointed to select q specialist
for the association on the materials and
processes of morocco manufacture, with
view to further improvement. A resolu-
tion was passed asking the bureau of agri-
culture to publish detailed information
on the subject of goat-raising, and en-
courage American farmers to make it o
home industry. After some general dis
cussion, it was decided to meet again
next July in Lynn.
In the evening dinner was given at
the hotel to the National Association by
the morocco manufacturers of New York.
About 80 members of the association and
their guests sat down at o'clock. NJ. s.
Kerrigan presided at the raised table and
beside him were seated Mayor Whitney of
Brooklyn, and General Postles. Among
other guests present were President
Mooney of the board of aldermen, Henry
Davis from Philadelphia, and sW. G..
Bryant from Boston. Letters of regret
were read from President Cleveland,
Secretary Bayard and Mayor Grace.
Mayor Whitney replied to the toast !;
Brooklyn the City of Home Rule"
General Postles spoke for the Morocco
Manufacturers Association. He said
there was an importation every year OF
$50, 900 dozens of kid boots which had to
be broken down, and this could be done
only by the combined action of all those
present.
J. Parke Postles, Charles Baird, John
G.. Baker and other representatives of the
prominent morocco manufacturing firms
of this city were in attendance upon the
meeting.

sufFerInRs-of a Dredger.


SALISBURY, Nd, Jan. 15.-Another in
stallment of tramping dredgers arrived
here to day, among the number being
Oliver Cousins, who was in deplorable
condition, both feet being frostbitten. He
shipped from Baltimore, October 10th, ON
the pungy Ponce, Capt. Johu Parks, and
worked until the late gale put stop to
dredging. Last Sunday night the pungy
was frozen up at Shark Point, Tangier
sound, and the crew left the boat and
walked ashore on the ice. Cousins was
poorly clad, and had only gum boots on
his feet. Both feet became terribly frosted.
While in this condition he managed to
walk within few miles of Salisbury, and
last night was compelled to lie down in
the woods, as he could walk no further.
This morning with the aid of two sticks,
he made his way to within a mile of the
town, where he was taken up in o cart by
some one passing, and brought to the
office of DIR. George w. Todd, who gave
him the necessary medical attention. DR..
Todd says the man will in all probability,
lose his toes. Cousins says the boats
crew were John Woods, John Thomas,
| Junius Blacksmith, John Kellum, Henry
Cinnamon and himself. His body, arms
and face are badly scared and bruised.
flo says he was to receive SIS per month,
and up to the time of leaving the boat he
only received SO. The people of Sails
bury made up sufficient money to buy
him ticket to Baltimore, and he left TO-
night on the 11.16 train.

A Washington letter in the Baltimore

Gray of Delaware, since he made his
speech in the Senate last week fayoring
the suspension of silver coinage, daily re-
ceiyes an immense number of letters from
friends and the public congratulating him
on his stand and the excellence Of his
speech. His letters come from the east
and west, and there is some surprise ex-
pressed that SO many in the west, where
it is supposed they favor silver, should
write to him commencing his attitude.
OF course, many people in Delaware and
Maryland have written, and he felt proud
of their recognition.

Clarence Sullivan" writes to the New

correspondents are mistaken in attribut-
ing the authorship of the letter to Secre-
tary Bayard in the North american
Re1ie,o to IN obscure citizen of Delaware
or to William Henry Burlbert. II is be-
lievcd by one of the most distinguished
Democrats of the state and he does not
hesitate to say that the author is an Irish

NHell-known in Canada from similar
series of letters signed Miles O'Regan.
This opinion is current in the Press
Club. heard the question discussed
by number of politicians and literary
mell the other day. A Boston politician
of note said that the letter bore most
remarkable resemblance in its ideas,
especially about the fishery question, to
those advocated to his knowledge for
many years past by the Hop, Richard S.
Spofford of Newburyport, and he seemed
to think that the complimentary mention
of that gentleman in the article had been
supplied as blind. A Philadelphia gen
tleman on the other hand thought that il
bore the ear marks Of Hon. Wayne Mac
Veagh. His Philadelphia reference seemed
TO imply that he lives in the City o
Brotherly Love, although his spirit is fal
from it. l have heard the same articl

Who Is Arthur Ricbmond J

NEW lOfk DttIs
A great deal of attention has been drawn
to slashing article in the North american
Reoiew in which Secretary Bayard is
knocked down, dragged out, md laid
away with his ears boxed, and his political
reputation maltreated. 1t is lively piece
of rhetoric, fierce, unsparing, but not
altogether solid. People compare it to
Junius, but it hardly seems enough in
earnest for such n comparison. But,
whatever its quality, we crafty the public
by printing few OF its smartest and most
abusive passages in another part of this
paper.
1t is unnecessary to disclnim any SYM
pathy with the purpose or the anger of
the writer. Mr.. Bayard seems TO us in
State Department quite the same man
that he was in the Senate, high-minded,
upright, patriotic, dealing in no hidden
schemes, animated by genuine American
feeling, and properly careful of the good
name and the dignity of the country
which he has been appointed to represent
before the diplomacy of other lands.
This answers, we think, the important
portion of Mr.. Arthur ltichmOnd's as-
sault; and, Ms for the personalities with
which he seeks to decorate his page, they
are all, in our estimation, matters of no
consequence.
But who is this Arthur Richmond. for
this, after all, is the point of curiosity
about this unexpected demonstration of
spunk and spite? The first thought of
every reader will turn to Mr.. Blaine,
Bnyards predecessor in the state depart
ment, and his antagonist in every ques-
tion of political principle and of policy.
Mr.. Blaine has been known to maintain
friendly relations with the North Amerf-
can ReUie,o, and while the essay we are
discussing is rather learned for the Maine
historian, and rather agile and graceful in
its wit and its malice, yet we pay Mr..
Blaine compliment when we say that he
is not incapable of being its author.
[The Sun proceeds to argue that neither
can Arthur Richmond be Mr.. Uonkling,
the Hon. Joseph Pulitzer or the Hon.
Chauncey F. Black, and concludes:
| Being thus baffied in seeking abroad,
| why not turn homeward to the very head
| quarters of the North american, and to
the elegant retreat where its editor, MIR.
Thorndike Rice, devises his professional
machinations and charges the ever varied
and attractive pages of his review with
the intellectual dynamite which has
created the brilliant success of his enter.
prise?
Is not Mr.. Rice himself Arthur Rich
mond? This is question that every one
has the right to ask and answer. True
hehns not been known as apolitician, bu
he had grulge against the State of Del
aware, which might well he shunted asidt
and converted into deadly assault upor
her most renowned statesman; and his in
difference to politics may only be masl
to hide deep designs. As nm OXFORD
scholar we know that he is capableof thi
article. Besides, he is responsible for it
publication, and it is safe to conclude
accordingly, that Arthur Richmond ant
Thorndike Rice may be one and the SAM
individual.

ANNAPOLIS, Mp, Jan. 13.-The Demo-
cratic caucus tonight, presided over by
Senator Harry w. Rusk of Baltimore,
proved sufficient triumph for Senator
German. His nomination was made by
Senator Hayes of Baltimore, who said
that Senator German, who followed Pink
ney and johnson, might not possess the
eloquenee of the one and the legal learn
ing of the other, yet, in executive ability
and good Judgment, he was the peer OF
any. Senator German was the man who
sent the famous dispatch, "Cleveland is
elected and will be inaugurated," which
stiffened the courage of the Democracy Of
the Union. Senator Raynorof Baltimore
seconded the nomination, and it was car
ried by acclamation in rising vote Will
loud applause. Delegate Smith of Dor
chester, nominated Henry Lloyd of Dor
chester as governor, and he also was
chosen by acclamation.
