RUNAWAY TRAIN.
Serious Railway Wreck at Marquette.
A Copper Train Comes Tearing
Through the City.
Two Buildings Demolished: and the
Cars and Their Contents Piled
Up Along the Track. Luck
lily Without Fatalities.

MARQUETTE, Mich, Thursday.-Terrific
excitement has just been created here to-
night by long and rapid runaway train
on the Houghton division of the Duluth,
South Shore & Atlantic railroad entering
the city at speed Of fully ninety miles
az hour. The great copper train, bear
ing copper to the eastern markets from
HOughton, arrives here at 1880 nightly.
At that time tonight piercing and long
continued whistling was heard. Railroad
men turned pale as they knew from ex-
perience its meaning. The engine
seemed to speak in anguish. The so1nd
came nearer and nearer and in less than
four minutes after the engine gave the
first alarm. at Bancroft, four miles out,
just at the head of the steep grade down
at Marquette, the train came laundering
through the yards with the roar of a
whirlwind, great streams of fire pouring
from under every wheel and lighting up
the night. The main track had been
cleared and every one near it had fed
The train passed the shops and rushed
through the yards into the heart Of the
city and in rounding a little curve be-
tween Third street, and the passenger de-
pot went ali to pieces. There were sew
eral cars of massive square timbers for
the new ore docks here with the box cars
containing copper. These great sticks
flew in all directions as if from q cata-
putt.
Two buildings were torn down by them,
the car trucks few hundreds of feet, the
box cars turned square across the track
and others mounted fiat cars. The wreck
for 1000 feet is indescribable. By good
fortune some of the sticks were massed
This acted as sudden drag, after the
rear part of the train had gone all to
pieces and the great Mogul engine stop
ped just past the depot as if for pas
sengers.
Ii the train had gone 800 feet further,
just across Front street, it would have
gone straight into the lake at the sharp
curve there. Engineer Mulhern says he
knew this and never expected TO step
from his engine alive. He, however, de-
tezmined to die at his post and in ali the
terrible run his fireman never waverad.
Sharkey, one Of the brakemen, stuck by
the train until Fourth street was reached
when he jumped striking an immense
snow-drift. His brother was killed on the
road last summer. The other brakeman
were in the caboose and cut it loose thus
saving themselves. No one was killed,
the escape being miraculous. One car
nearly entered small Spring street
boarding house, one of the flying timbers
killing the dog there. That street is
blockaded by the wreck.

The Secretary of War transmitted TO

shows that at the last returns there were
eighty-two general officers, 1,1O5 officers

regimental field and staff and $685. COM

the figures are based upon estimates

AGRICULTURE.

Nowhere in all this wide country is there a
richer agricultural section than this Valley Of the
Tennessee. Ii is the farmers paradise. 1t will
grow anything except the fruits of the tropics.
and grapes and fruits luscious Californi'
can produce can be grown here with the least at
tention. II should, and some daY viii, be the
fruit belt of the eastern half of this continent
The agricultural lands about lorence sold as
high as $40 per acre seventy years ago. The crops
of cotton, corn. oats and potatoes produced 10y
slave labor was astonishing. stll larger crops
could be produced by intelligent white labor at
this day. Alabama began the bate of life after
the war poor in purse and discouraged in spirit;
The farmer had TO take everything his land could
prod &c to keep his head above water, and ne was
able to put nothing back Farms run down very
rapidly under this system, and they have not re-
Covered yet. However. the soil simply waits Tor
kindly treatment to respond with such crops as
the Northern ia mer never hope for. The
whole section is finely watered, timber is IN
abundance and land is yet cheap. When Flor
ence sends up the smoke OF her mills and Turn
aces and factories, aid droves of Iaborers pass
to anu ON their daily toll she will have the ag-
riculture support them, no matter what the
number.

An African Slaughter

The recent cable announcement that
King Lo Bengula of Matabeleland, South
Africa, had murdered 900 of his soldiers,
proves to be an eXaggeration. His VIC
Tins on this occasion. numbered only $50
warriors. They met their fate with per-
feet stoicism, after the manner of all
Africans whose lives are at the mercy of
desp otic chiefs. 1t unfortunately hap
pens that some white visitors at Matabele-
land involved these poor wretches in their
fate, and white men, in one way or an
other, have been concerned in the last
two or three tragedies Of this sort report
ed from Africa.
while ago Mr.. Selods, the best known
of African hunters, took party of En-
glish hunters into Matabeleland and the
adjoining Mashona country to hunt.
King Lo Bengula sent with them $50
soldiers under one of his chiefs, osten-
sibly to act as body guard, but really to
keep on the hunting grounds, and, above
all, to prevent them from prospecting
for gold. This metal is found in quite a
large district of Lo Bengula's domains,
and he fears, with good reason, that an
influx of white men would weaken his
power, and perhaps result in his over
throw.
After hunting awhile, the white men, who
were victims of the gold fever now raging
in South Africa, proposed to go little
further north and prospect for gold. The
kings soldiers forgot the words that the
fat old despot addressed to Mr.. John
Mackenzie two years ago: "Only one
voice is heard in my country" said he.
SIT is for all others to listen and obey
They foolishly permitted the white men
to act their own pleasure, and the whole
party was soon north of the hunting
grounds looking for gold in Meshona-
land. It was not long before whole
regiment was in hot pursuit to infict the
inevitable punishment.
When the messengers of the king s
vengeance overlook the party the stern
sentence was at once announced and
carried out. Not word in their own
defence was uttered by the $50 victims,
who were perfectly unresistipg while two
spear thursts and blow from knob
kerrie finished each mCn. The English
men were sim ply carried back, and were
permitted to leave the country. They
might no. have escaped so easily had not
Mr.. Selous been favorite of the king
who calls him his English lion, and has
long given him privileges in Matabele-
land that he denies to most white mes.
