Fatal Railroad Accident,

WILMINGTON, Del, Jan. GA collision
occurred here this morning between the
Wilmington and Northern and Philadelphia
Wilmington and Baltimore trains. Three
men were killed outright and one fatally in.
jured. On account of the binding snow the
engineers of The approaching trains were
not aware of the danger until the collision
occurred. Immediately after the collision
the passenger car took fire from one of the
engine furnaces and the escaping steam ad
ded to the torture of the victims imprisoned
under the broken timbers. The fire de-
partment hurried to the scene and began
playing on the burning timbers, while others
exerted themselves to get out the dead and
wounded. 1t was nearly 9 o'clock when the
last body was gotten out. The dead-the
engineer, fireman and one of the shifting
crew--were horribly crushed, mangled,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 9, 1886.
Intelligence has been received here of the
death OF Col. Taliaferro Hunter at his home,
Pomona, Westmoreland county, Virginia,
of paralysis. Col. Hunter was 4th Auditor
of the Treasury under President Buchanan.
Among the recently discharged employees
, at the Navy Yard here are Samuel Coleman
and William RatcliG, of Alexandria. The
. reason assigned for their discharge was the
expenditure of the appropriation for carry
ing on work; but they say that new men
were put on in their places.
Among the petitions recently presented
to the House by Mr.. Barbour was that of
Mrs. Jane Dulany for arrears of pensions,
also that of w. II Dsery for arrears of pens.

Many of the papers of the country are
taking an interest in the coopersge trade,
and will use their influence in getting Con-
gress to pass some measure that will pre-
vent its total extinguishment. As the bust
ness last year was worth 100000 to this
country it is matter that should receive
special attention. The Philadelphia Times
says:
English vessels and English methods have
about dri ven the American flag from the sea.
True, we have some coasting trade left and until
recently a considerable feet of vessels have found
it profitable to supply the Cuban planters with
American hogsheads and bring back sugar. But
now even this trade is rapidly disappearing and
the West India fleet must look elsewhere for en-
p!oyment, unless Congress en- be made to do
something in the way of relief. The remedy ap-
pears to be very simple. Because of discrimi-
nation in favor OF cheap English made bags, by
which the export duty on sugar when shipped in
them is reduced the American hogsheads are be-
ing discarded Vessels which have been carving
shocks and heads, no longer able to get q freight
out must give way to the English "tramps" or
steamers, which arc continually cruising around
for employment. The English bags are threaten.
ing the entire sugar trade with tho West Indies
and Congress is now asked to increase the DUTY
on sugar in bags one fourth cent per pound or to
decrease that imported in American hogsheads to
tho same amount. This will place the hogskead
and the bag on equal footing. If there is any
chance to retain the little trade we have left the
chance ought to be accepted"

LETTER FROM RICHMOND,

Correspondence of the Alexandria GAzErTE)
RICHMOND, Va, January Sit was ex-
pected that the Committee on Privileges
and Elections, to whom was referred the
contested election case Of Finch vs. Jones
from Mecklenhurg county, would take q
vote this morning, but they did not do so.
Il seems that the committee will report IL
favor OF Jones, the sitting member. He is
piugcr-cake-colored darkey, and has served
q tenn in the Senate. His majority was
over four hundred, and the way he came to
get this ma ority iss question the committee
have been considering for some days. 1t is
we'll known that if the superstition ind ere
dulily Of the negro race had not been play
ed upon, Jones's majority would have been
much less thar it was. Mr.. Finch, who is
contesting tho election, is young demo
crat of sterling worth, aud has made great
impression upon the committee and other
members Of the Legislature. He does not
fight for self-aggrandiSament, but is putting
in some telling blows in behalf Of his people
who, living in the heart Of the "black belt"
are confronted oftcntines with negro suprc-
macy in the matter of office.
Il is believed that the bill reported from
tho committee to-day retiring the officers of
all the asyiums in this State will be support
ed by the republicans. 1t will come up on
its passage nezt week, and it is not thought
that it will evoke much discussion. The
impression has gone abroad that there are
some members on the boards Of those asy-
lums who ought not 10 be there, and the
idea is to sacrifice the good officials in order
to get rid of the bad ones. Another i'm
portant feature is that The officials to be Sc
lected by the Governor III the event of the
passage of the bill will be chosen from the
sections in which the asylums are located,
or, in other words, the Southwest will fur
nish officials fer the new asylum out there,
the Tidewater section will lay claim to the
offices at the williamsburg Asylum, ard the
Valley will be given the offices at Staunton.
This section of the bill may not be rigidIy
complied with, but the Governor will be
called upon By the Legislature to make Sc.
sections Sc far rs practicable in the manner
just described.
Petitions for the passage Of general 10.
cal option bill are beginning to pour in upon
tho General Assembly. Several were re-
ceved to-day and some two or three more
will reach here within the next two days.
At the last Legislature most Of these petit
tions came from counties adjacent to Alex
andr;a, but this year Rockingham county is
taking the lead on the temperance question.
Mr.. John Lannon, Of Alexandria, who is
here under medical treatment, is said to be
rapidly improving. 3. L. o.

Fire.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 9.-Atan early hour
this morning FIRE was discovered in the
third story of the ladies' hall connected with
the college at Oberln, Ohio. The building
is brick structure three stories high and is
owned by the college. 1t accommodates one
hundred and fifty females and one hundred
men students. The men board at the hall,
while the women lodge there. The fire
rapidly spread but it is thought that all the
inmates of the building escaped without in
jury. There was great excitement and the
students rushed from their rooms into the
street clad simply in their night garments
in binding snow storm. The night was
very cold and it was difficult to get water
into the building. The hall is wreck.

ANAMERIcAN company, organized with
American capital, wants to establish line
OF fast steamers between this country and
Europe, so that some, at least, of the i'm
mense profits of the ocean carrying trade
may be made and spent on this side of the
Atlantic. They have, therefore, asked Con-
gress for the poor privilege of allowing
them to buy their ships where they may
choose, and, when bought, to have them re-
gistered as American vessels. As this is
supposed to be free country, the mere fact
that it was necessary to make such request
appears remarkable to unsophsticated peo-
pie; and stranger still does it seem to them
that there should be great opposition to
request SO just, 50 natura! and so simple.
But the nrotectionists in Congress do OPP
pose it, and will probably prevent it from be-
ing granted.

CONGRESSMAN DUNN, of Arkansas, a
silverite says "silver is the money OF the
people" Mr.. Dunn was never more mis-
taken. No matter what silver may have
once been, that it is now the money OF the
silver mine owners no well.informed man
has any doubt. But no disinterested man
wants to demonetize silver. The people,
about whom Mr.. Dunn processes to care so
much, do not object to the silver dollars al
ready coined, though it is impossible to
keep them IN circulation. But they don't want
their wages paid in them neither do they
want the Government to show special
f.vors to the few silver mine owners by
providing them, ss it now does, ready and
high market for the product of their mines /;
nor DO they want the Government to clip
the silver dollars to the extent of twenty per
cent before it coins them, as it also now
does.

Prom Japan.

SAN Francisco, Jan. 9.-Prvate advices
from Yokohama state that the Japanese
government has fixed the standard of varl.
alton in their silver coinage at one to three
per thousand. 1t was formerly one to two
per thousand. The United States variation
is one to three, and the English one to four.
A solemn high mass was celebrated in the
Catholic cathedral in Yokohama for the re-
pose Of the soul of King Alfonso. All the
dignitaries of the State and the Imperial
household were present. The ceremony
was remarkable from the fact that it was
the first one attended by high Jananese Of.
ficials since the time of st. Xavior, three
hundred years ago. Smallpox has made
its appearance in Yokohama. The cholera
has entirely disappeared.
