curred on the Delaware. Llckawannl and
Western Rlilroad al Trasey's bridge this
morning to the passenger train which LEFT
Buffalo a; s:39 last night The rails are said
TO have spread and all the cars following the
smoker left the track and rolled one on top
of the other to the bottom of a thirty-foot
embankment There they caught fire from
the stove and soon were mass of redhot
embers. The passengers crawled out OF the
windows US best they could.
David Gray, of Buffalo, an invalid. on his
way to Cuba received severe internal injuries
and was made unc jascioas fson the shock.
His brother, who accompanied him. was not
as badly injured. Pullman Car Porter J p
Tucker, of New York. was badly cut and
burned and is said to be dying Coleman, &
Pullman car porter, of BnfAlo, was badly
crushed
Miss r. Webster, of Oil City, received Sc
we're injuries TO her back. W. Boebmke, of
Cleveland, was severely cut about the head.
J Zimmerman, of Buffalo, was hurt on the
knees Miss Plant. of Hamilton, Ont, bruis-
ed and badly cut, and Morris Link. of SAN
dusky. received dangerous fracture of the
clayicle and ribs.
Passengers say the accident was not caused
by spreading of rails, as claimed by the CON-
panys officials, but was due solely to the
fiimsy nature of the day coach, which had
been old enough for retirement.

SENATOR BRowS, of Georgia, in speech
in the Senate last week said that while
the people of his State desired Just re-
vision Of the tariff and the abolition Of
the revenue system, they did not wish
to crush American manufactures or re-
duce the compensation Of American la
bor.r He said that he stood by the Dem
ocratic platform of 1884, and under it
tariff reduction must be carried out so as
not TO inIure home industries. He said
further, 'Iet the South adopt the policy
that had enriched the North let the
iniquitous internal revenue system be
repealed and the tariff revised so as to
impose higher rates on luxuries and
lower rates on necessities, as demanded
by the Democratic platform Of 1884, upon
which the only Democratic President had
been elected in twenty-five years."
Does not Senator Brown know" says
the Harrisburg Telegraph, that this is
rank political heresy that the Demo-
cratic leaders, Cleveland being among
them, have declared against the repeal
of the internal tax laws, and that the
froth is scarcely We; dry on the lips of his
associate Colquitt, who bat a day or two
ago denounced as associates .of the evil
one the men VIII would take the tax off
whisky and keep il on the clothes and
food and fuel of the poor man. Senator
Brown must have a care. How does he
know that the North has prospered I'M

the truth is that the North will not pros

Mills, of Texas, and Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, in their anxiety TO see the
North prosper are striving to overturn
the system that has prevailed for quar-
ter of a century, and under which Sena-
tor Brown believes the North has grown

SUIr has been commenced by General
Adam Badeau against the Grant family
for literary services rendered in the prep
aration' of General Grants Memoirs, and
the correspondence between the two
Generals has been given to the public.
Following is one Of General Grants let
tens, a perusal Of which cannot fail to
strengthen the faith of the American
people in the old soldiers honesty of
purpose and simplicity of character:
"lou say that Il am a man of affairs,
etc, and can tell simple story" etc.
You imply that literary man must sup
ply some deficiencies, and that you are
the only man who can do it. If this is
the case, General, do not want a book
bearing my name TO 90 before the world
which did not write to such an extent
rs to be fully entitled 10 the credit of au-
thorship. i do not want secret between
me and some one else which would de-
stroy my honor if it was divulged. /

pendent upon any person to supply a

sition. : Asa soldier, wrote nv

Presidents to write, bearing my name.
All these have been published and wide
ly circulated. The public have been ae-
customed to my style of writing. They
know that il is not even an attempt to
initiate either literary or classical style;
that it is just what il is. and nothing
else. IL succeed in telling my story so
that others can see as ] do what | at

reader must also be satisfied. for he

tract and demand $1,000 per month in
advance until the work is completed.
and ten per cent. Of the entire profits
arising from the sale of the work after it
is put upon the market. This would
make you a partner with my family as
long as the book found sale. This is
preposterous. Not for one moment has
your proposition been entertained by
me. This, with the statements enumer-
ated in this letter and others contained
in yours, makes it impossible for Us TO be
associated in a work which is TO bear my
name. Ii would be degradation for me
to accept honors and profit from the
work OF another man while declaring to
the public that it was the product of my
own brain and hand.

Another Railroad Strike.

round house, that unless he restored dis
charged fireman TO his former position. they
would go out THE trouble came about in
this way" said Mr. Scott. there is rule
that no fireman shall use sand on his engine.
one of the firemen disobeyed this order and
was discharged for neglect of duty. He
thereupon informed some of the Brother
hood lof which he is memberj of his posi-
ton. A consultation was held and the men
went out Of their own accord.
1t is generally the case for liremen belong
ing to the Brotherhood TO recite their case
before the grievance committee of their
lodge and they will straighien matters with
the superintendent. As the Eastern Illinois
men did not follow this order, they have
certainly struck snag.n The fireman
was not reinstaied. and the firemen say they
are handling Burlington freight and have as
yet experienced no trouble except this Incl
dent this morning, which may be amicably
settled.

An Awfal Aeolaen. on a RaIIroad.

CH,KLESTox. S. c.. March is.--A fearful
accident occurred near Blackshear, Georgia,
Yesterday morning, on the Savannah, Flor
ida and Western Railroad. The first section
OF the south-bound train went through the
trcstlc over the Hurricane river, scvcniy-five
miles south of Savannah. and the entire
train was wrecked. Nineteen persons were
reported killed and thirty-six wounded.
OF the killed, nine were white and eight
negroes OF the wounded ten are ladies and
twenty white males. and six white children.
The train consisted of baggage ear, smoking
car, two Pullmans and private palace ear
of the i.ehigh Valley railroad in which
George Gould. son of Jay Gould, and party.
were travelling Gcorge was on his way TO
meet his father. who is expected at ST
Augustine shortly. The entire train was
wrecked George Could escaped injuries,
but his wife was painfully hurt.
The engine went over the trestie safely,
and ran on to Blaekshear where physicians
were speedily sent to the scene. Among the
killed were A. c. Fulton. master of trans
porsaiion, of the brunswick Railroad,
and Merritt A. Wilbur, son of the president
of the Leligh Valley Railroad. President
Wilbur, and his other two some, W A and
r. H.. were among the injured.
Some of the dead have been sent 10 their
former homes and Others will b, embalTued
and sent The severely wounded are still ut
waycross Mr. Gould and his wife and the
Wilbur family are at Blackshear. near the
scene of the accident, and special car has
been placed at their disposal by the Savannah
Florida and Western Railway.
The trestle of Hurricane river is about 500
feet in length, and the break includes 400
gine lodging against the abutments. The
baggage car left the track on the tn,stle,
which accounts for the accident. The ties
show where the truck cut deep into them.
Ii was this car that careened the rear ears
and by its strain dragged the tender down,
the engine having safely crossed over.
Had il not been for the presence of mind
uf Engineer Richard Welch, a much more
horrible fate would have been in store for
the wounded. Hurriedly dispaiching the
engine with fireman 10 Blackshear, he ran
down to the wreck and with the assistance
of the porter of the Pullman car, Minerva
extinguished the fire which had broken out
in the baggage ear. The part of the trestie
which was destroyed is being rebuilt and
direct connection will be reopened with
Florida Tuesday morning. The accident is
the first of the kind that has ever occurred
on the road since it was built % years ago.
