Governor Foraker's Addre ess to the Leg.
islature.

COLUMBUS, o., Jan. IL.
Gov. Foraker. in his inaugural address to
the Senate and House of Representatives de-
nounced in the most scatching terms the out
RACES perpetrsted at the late elections, and
demanded such action from their hands as
would virtually prevent further corrupt prac-
tees. He said:
There is nothing more important than the
ballot. 1t goes before everything else. Gov
ernment rests upon it and its character is de-
ternined by it. We have no other sovereign
power or expression of power. There is no
greater political crime than its suppression or
corruption. There is but one equal crime,
and that is Indifference to such outrage Eth
er is treason in effect, and both ought to be
in law. There never was greater need than
now for this TO be remembered by the legis-
lative body OF this State. Evil is always
contagious, If permitted to succeed in one
place its tendency is to quickly spread to all
place. Accordingly the question of free
ballot and fair count, until recently un-
known in the United States, has become a
living issue in Ohio. The outrages perpe-
trated at our elections in 1884 were not the
first of these offences, but they are meu-
toned because they had one good effect.
They aroused a sense of duty that secured
the enactment of a registration law applics-
bic to the cities of Cincinnati and Cleveland.
1t was hoped that this measure would pre-
vent these evils, but we have been disap-
pointed. The additional safeguards thus
thrown about the elevated franchise
seemed only to widen the range, increase the
determination and quicken the ingenuity of
this class of criminals. As consequence
We have witnessed not only false counting
and false voting but also false registration,
false tallies. false certificates, false returns,
and every other species of falsehood and
fraud and perjury. No such bold, bare-faced
villainry has been known in the history of
our elections as was confessedly practiced at
last October's elections in the cities of Gin
cinnati and Columbus.
If there is anything worse than the fact
that the scoundrels who perpetrated it are
unpunshed and likely to remain so, it is that
there should appear to be no judicial pow er
to prevent the consummatien of their iniqui-
ties. If it be true that our laws are such that
the canvassing officer is compelled, or can
elect to give effect to evident and acknowl-
edged fraud and forgery in defiance of right
and all authority of the courts, then, indeed,
is there need to change the laws. Such an
official should be more than mere auto
maton and considerably less than an imperi-
Gus autocrat. The time has come to put a
stop to such troubles, and the people of the
State, without regard to political differences
expect at your hands such legislation as will
have this effect.

PARNELL's PRESTIGE.
Sensational Report that Mr.. Parnell,s
Position is Most Critical.

DUBLIN, Jan. IL.
sensational dispatch from Dublin to the
London Daily Telegraph, states that Par.
nelPs prestige as a leader is seriously mem
sced- Members of the National League
openly state that the league is in imminent
danger. The control of its branches is al
ready lost, and Mr.. Psrnell's position is most
critical. The excitement in Dublin amounts
almost to panic, and there are fears that
mischief will run riot within three months.
SO active are the enemies of Mr.. Psrnell and
his party that Philip Csllsn's suit will not be
opposed. Callsn was nationalist represen-
tative in the last Psrlisment from Louyn.
Though possessing many qualities which en-
deared him to his constituents and sssoc,-
ates, his impatience of restraint and his in
temperate habits led Mr.. Parnell at the
present election, to set him aside in favor of
candidate named Nolan. Callan, alone of
the Irish patriotic party, rebelled against
Mr.. Parnells dictstion, aud rnn as an inde-
pendent candidate. He was beaten. but now
contests the election on the ground that No
lan's election was procured by intimidation.
1t is said that the decision of Parnell's marty
not to oppose Csllsn's suit was made because
of fears of awkward revelations.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
Two Well Filled Trains Collide but With.
out Fatal Result.
PITTsBuRG Pa Ian II

PITTsBuRG. Pa, Jan. IL.
A remarkable escape from a wholesale loss
of life was recorded Monday morning. The
30 West Newton accommodation on the
Baltimore and Ohio, filed with school chill
dreu, ran into the rear of the McKeersport
accommodation train which was standing at
Salt Works station, miles east of this city.
The train was going at a high rate of speed
and the engine crashed through the smoker
of the McKeesport train. Fortunately the
passengers had been notified of the danger
before the trains came together and BY jump
ing from the car escaped serious injury. A
number Of them, however, were slightly cut
and bruised.
One man had his right leg broken and an
other sustained fracture of the nose. The
school children became panic stricken and
were with difficulty prevented from jumping
from the windows. The accident was caused
BY the snow blockade which delayed the Nc
Keesport train.

NEW YORK Ian LII

NEW YORK, Jan. IL.
The White Star steamship Brittsnic, which
left Queenstown on New Years day, arrived
at noon, Sunday. after very perilous pas
sage. She ran into the cyclone and broke
the neck of her cylinder valve on Friday
morning. Snow came along with the storm
so thich that it looked like congelated fog
bank. There was uncertainty as to the
exact whereabout of the ship as il was i'm
possible to take observations while the north
easterly gale that rushed toward the storm
centre was making things lively on board
The mended cylinder broke again The
steamer was compelled to proceed thereafter
slowly and cautiously. The steamer iCeltic,
outward bound, was spoken at l o'clock in
the afternoon. and an effort made to lower
boat for the Brittanic to get new valve
from the Celtic, but the gale and high seas
were too much for the men, and they gave it
up. She arrived at her dock one mass of ice
tIom stem to stern.

IN PERIL.
How a Farmer Saved the Crew Of Yes.
sci Which Had Gone Ashore.


RIvERHEAD, L. l.. Jan. 10.
Schooner Sesbird of Ellsw orth. Me-, which
cleared from New York for Providence, R l.
Jan 7, with cargo of pig iron. went ashore
yesterday at Fresh Pond. six miles from this
village. The captain and crew were saved
nal of distress flying from the vessel, which
he discovered with the aid of glass was dis
abled and those on board evidently unable to
get off. Corwin lost no time in getting out
his boat and rowing to the vessel. which was
covered with ice from keel to topmast. The
sails Were frozen stiff and immense icicles
were hanging from her rigging. When he
reached the vessel he found Capt. Haskell
and the crew of four men lying exhausted
and almost frozen to death in the cabin He
assisted them into his boat apd rowed them
ashore and then conveyed them to his house,
where he and his family paid the poor men
every attention. They said they were half
starved and ate plentitully of the good things
set before them. Capt. Haskell related the
following story of the causes leading TO the
wreck of his vessel. He said:
We left jersey City for Providence Thurs
day, and made good sailing until when off
Northport, Saturday. We encountered a
terrible snow storm, the wind blowing hur-
ricane, and we could not tell where we were
heading. The sea was high and huge waves
washed over our decks, carrying away our
yawl and one one of our matches. Then we
found the vessel had sprung a leak and we
were obliged to throw 40 tons Of iron over
board and cast two anchors, but both chains
parted after few hours, and we were driven
ashore but too far from dry land to reacn it,
Without boat, as ours had been lost. we
were helpless, freezing and starving until
good farmer Corwin came to our rescue.
The Seabird will be a total loss. The spot
where the vessel lies is the one least fire.
quented in the sound coast of Long Island,
and but for Corwin's timely appearance, the
captain and crew would certainly have died
of exposure and exhaustion.

sion was granted hlm. 1t is alleged that he
lately violated Section 5348 of the United

ton, Me, while he took jaunt to the Prov
inces, stopping in British territory, two
miles beyond Monticello. Deputy United

Marshall Marble of this State. Commits
sioner tRand furnished warrant and thus
armed Marble went to Monticello and waited
for his man. Cameron, who is about fifty
years old, came to the Monticello office, when

him to Portland.
