strongly in favor OF the allotment OF lands,
Of individual responsibilities Of citizenship,

A Springfield CMo.) special says: Diabol-
ism and heroism were both illustrated on
the line Of the st. Louis and san Francisco
railroad about O'Clock ibis morning. Train.
wreckers, anticipating the passage oil the
Texas express train, removed the switch
bolts at Lyman station, four miles east OF this
city, 'sud spread the rails so as to throw the
train over an embankment but the switch
target was left in proper condition. Fortu-
nately for the two hundred people on the
train a Wild engine was running ahead, and
this plunged through the switch at forty-
mile speed. The engine was demolished snd
the rails torn up for quarter OF mile.
The fireman, with broken ankle, dragged
himself back for more than mile and
tagged the train, saving it from destruction.
There Is no clew to the perpetrators OF the
diabolicsl deed. but they are evidently the
same who attempted to wreck the st. Louis
mail train few days agO{

The Ultimate Result.


fBy telegraph b the Dispstchl
NEW YORK. December 19.-The Clyde
steamship Saginaw, which arrived here from
Bayd yesterday, put In st her dock at
Brooklyn this morning. There seems to
be- great doubt in the minds OF the members
Of the firm OF w. J.. clyde & Co. whether
the b0mbsrdment OF Cape Ilaytien, az re-
ported boy the Saginaw's passengers yester.
dly. did actually occur. Captain Kelly. OF
the vessel, has as yet made no Official state
mont Of the incident 10 his employers. The
story Is published This morning that the
COMMANDMENT aid occur, but that the fire
from the Cape Haytlen forts drove away the
ships after few shots, and that little or no
damage was done either on the shore or At
sea. The sympathi.s OF all the New York
merchants doing business "a HaytI are with
the people OF the North. II Is thought that
the ultimate result Of the trouble will be the
establishment Of two separate governments
one at the north and the other 81 the south
end OF the island II is also the opinion OF q
great many merchants 10 the city that the
settlement OF the difficulty between the Gev-
eminent and Hayu can only be brought
about By Admiral Luce and the cruisers.
