PASSENGER TRAIN WRECKED.
A Fiend's Work The EnR ineer
Killed-PRssengers Badly
shaken Up.

SPRINGFIELD, MASS, September 13.-
A diaboliCal crime was committed at
Weslield Saturday night, whereby a
brave young engineer met his death
and his engine was badly wrecked,
Some unknown person broke with an
AK the lock OF q switch about mile
southeast of the Westfeld station, on
the Westtleld and Holyoke branch Of
the New Haven and Northampton
railroad. The ak was obtained from
neighboring slaughter house. The
train wrecker fist unsuccessfully tried
to cut the switch staple from the tie.
He turned the switch on the side
track where a number of freight cars
were standing and when tie New
Haven excursion train came over the
road from Holyoke about 6 80 o'clock
this morning, II ran on the switch.
The fireman saw the freight cars,
jumped from the right eide OF the en-
CINE and was unhurt. Engineer Geo.
Baldwin reversed his engine In q fash
and jumped from the opposite side,
but was In some way thrown under
the wheels, where he was cut TO
pieces He had thrown on the air
brakes so strongly that the engine tore
out the couples from the car following
and the car was thrown from the rails
directly across the track. 1t did not
tip over. The train consisted Of three
psss snger cars and baggage car, and
carried between fifty and sixty pas
sengers, who were somewhat shaken
up; no one hurt seriously, however.
The engine was demolished by tele-
scoping with the freight cars. The
body OF the engineer was picked up
and prepared for burial. No motive
is assigned Tor the atrocious crime.

THE PARNELL BILL.
ItBuspends Eviction on Payment of
Half the Rent Due-GladstOne
RaV0rs IL

LONDON, September 13-The Par
nell land bill, as redraited, euspends
evlctions on payment into court OF
half the rent due. Many Glsdstonians
d'sapprove Of the amount Of the reduc-
lion. The Parnell.t assert that the
full value justify demand OF over 80
per cent. reduction. Mr.. Parnell, in a
conference with Mr.. John Morley,
urges reduction of rs per cent. but
on Mr.. Morley's advice he limited the
reduction to 90 per cent. Leaseholders
are included in the bill. The
governments response will be
that Mr.. Parnell's data are
inaccurate; that the Dublin
executive returns of market values for
lSS5-S6 show that the reduction in
prices in Ireland is less than in Eng
land and Scotland, ranging from 10 to
10 per cent. Sir Michael Hicks Bee CD
and Lord Randolph Churchill will de-
ny thai ss,. bulk of the Irish tenants
will be unable to pay their rents in
November, or that lost OF evictioDs

the Parnell bill will take plscs on

announced that he will return to

HOPES to take part in the debate
on Monday. 1t is understood that he
will support the PARCEL bill. His
promised presence is already iallying
the GIadstouians. The Unionist whips
have sent an appeal to Unionist mem.
bers in the country to return 10 Lon
don and vote against the bill. The
government also insists upon the re-
call of absentees. Conservatives at
tempt to curtail tie debate to one
night will be in vain The debate
will probably extend over four nights.

fight; the other declared II draw.
The fight took place upon a beat, upon
which a twenty-f ur foot ring was
made in the rain. From the start to
the finish the fight was a vicious one

elected to the legislature pledged to
vote for the reelection Of Eimunds to
the Senate. The result proves that
the people OF Vermont are not yet
ready to substitute mediocrity for the
most distinguished ability in the
United States Senate. The fight upon
Mr.. Edmunds was really vigorous
and dangerous one. No one obtains
the prominence which he has achieved
as leader, no one serves the public as
long &c he has done and witbstands as
calmly every approach OF the lobbyist
and the speculative legislator,
without making many enemies.
Edmunds was bitterly opposed to the
nomination OF Blaine, and damned
his candidacy with faint praise. The
aspirants for his seat in the Senate
made this the pretext for opposing his
election. But the Republicans OF
Vermont rallied to the support OF a
man who had been true to his con-
stituents and whoss ability had re-
hected honor upon the State. The
Democrats sympathized vito Mr.. Ed
munds, as they knew he was incor-
ruptibly honest and were unwilling t,
lend themselves TO the destruction OF
an sb'e old man merely to crafty the
ambition OF inexperienced young men.
The people are not looking to the
ages Of Ospirants for Office, but TO their
qualifications. In all parts OF the
county young men seem to have got
the idea in their heads that there Is
some sort OF q conspiracy to
prevent their promotion, but the
idea is absurd. On account OF their
great abilities Clay and Randolph were
elected to Congress before they were
conttitutionally eligible to their eeats,
ard they were never defeated because
OF their age and long servicee. There
is no young man in Tennessee who
can truthiully say that his abiliti5s
are not fully recogoiz,d. On the con-
trary, there is nothing that delights
the people more than the advent Of
young men who have qualified them
selves for the duties OF craftsmanship
and who are equipped for serving the
people.
