BRER BROwER AGAIN,

Capt. Goslen's editorial in the
Union Republican of August 2 makes
mighty fine reading for the hot wealth
er. After recounting the fact that the
Chicago Convention denounced the
Mills Bill, the Republican thinks it is
outrageous that Mr.. Brewer should
array himself with the Democrats by
voting for the Mills Bill. The Repab-
lasam says
ersonally he had a right to vote
with the Democrats as a Republi
can he had no such right"
We have not the least idea why
Mr.. Brewer voted for the Mills Bill.
The fact remains that he did vote for
it, and now the still more painful fact
stares him in the face that whatever
hope he once had of reelection has
been swept away. We quote the Re
publiea'a on this point:
1--WE believe he will gain but few
Democratic votes, and we are assur-
ed he will lose Republican support
That's the whole thing in nutshell.
The Democrats never had any conf
dence in him, and they regard this
last move on his part as trick to gain
votes; while the Republicans regard
him as deserter in the time of battle
and say they'll have no more of him.
Again we quote from the Republican ::
Gas party in North Carolina we
are confronted with the question of
what to do.
By his action he has embarrassed
the Republican campaign in North
Carolina. We have no wish to dis
guise our dlspleasure and disappoint-
ment, and it would be foolish to try
to uphold Mr.. Brewers action and to
reconcile it with the policy of the Re
publican party.
If he were man capable of seeing
In what shape his vote has left him,
and how it has INSTRUCTED his party

strong-who attended the Confederate
reunion. 1t is estimated that 1000

made stirring speeches. Genuine old

WRECKED AT MIDNIGHT,
NumcT0us Emigrants Killed and
 and Wounded.

CHEYENNE, Wy, Jan. 9.-The west-bound Union Pacific passenger train that left here last night was halted near Edson station at 230 o'clock this morning to repair slight dam- age to the engine. After the delay, and when the train had proceeded but few hundred yards, freight train running at a high rate of speed rounded a curve and crashed into rear car, telescoping two emigrant cars, which at once caught fire and were entirely consumed. The rear of the sleeper Delhi was also burned wrecking car and corps of surgeons were soon on the ground.
 Five hours after the collision the track was cleared and the dead and wounded were re- moved to Rawlins Following is a list of killed and injured: child of Mrs. Jennie Street, aged 3 years, killed; infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Johnston, died soon after reaching Rawlins; William R. Johnston, chest injured; Mrs. William B. Johnston, back injured; Brake man George Sherer right leg broken and thigh cut; Miss Ida Jay, injured about the back and abdomen; James Price, right ankle and hip injured: Mrs. James Price, back injured; Mrs. Jennie Street, back injured; D. B. Knitzer, several ribs broken and injured internally; Mrs. D. B. KnitZer, abdomen and chest in- jured; son of Mir. and Mrs. Kritzer, seriously injured.
 The thermometer registered 20 deg. below zero when the accident occurred and assist ance was nearly thirty miles distant The clothing of many of the immigrants was con- sumed in the flames, and number were badly frozen before reaching shelter. The company did everything possible for the unfortunate ones.
 Scott Vermillion, conductor of the passenger train, fled to the adjacent bluffs immediately after the accident. Twenty cowboys have searched in vain for him all day, and it is be- lieved he was rendered crazy by the awful sight. He doubtless ran until exhausted, and then tumbled into an isolated ravine and ex- pired.

The Steel Rail Mills.

Two years ago the steel rail manufacturers organized the Bessemer Steel Assocsation. con- trolling the eleven steel rail mills of the country, and agreed to restrict production and secure better prices than existing rates, S27 per ton. The movement was q very quiet one, but it effected the desired result quickly. The restriction in manufacturing caused an active market, and the railroads be- gan to compete with each other for rails. Prices exceeded all expectations, running up to S40 per ton. The railroad people had been caught and they were b!ed profusely.
 ast summer, however, a number of the railroad Presidents concluded to play the same kind of game and turned the ,bles on the millionaire steel rail manufacturers. They agreed not to purchase any rails for 1888 delivery, nor make any Improvements or extensions until the price was reduced to $50 per ton. Steel rails have not come down te this figure. The manufacturers have con- cluded to try their own endurance, and see if they are not composed of as good staying qual.
 ties as the rails they manufactur,. They have in turn, on one pretext or another-some to make rerairs &c.-closed down, until to-day all the stee rail mills of the country are idle. The manufacturers still demand from S33 to S35 per ton for their rails, and the railroad men say: ''Keep your rates at these figures, We don't want the rails"

AT WASHINGTON.
Some Matters of Moment Brought
 Up at the Capital.

It it probable that the board on the revision of the Army Regulations will be orde ed to re- convene in the near future. The Secretary of War is now giving the work already done by the board some consideration, but before he approves the revision in whole CT in part, he wishes the m mbers to consider certain matters which have suggested themselves to him since they last met. Army officers arc exceedingly anxious to leal n what changes have been rec commended by the board but it is announced that this anxiety will not soon be allayed, as any changes tn at may be determined upon will not be made public at once, but will gradually find their way into print through tho medium of the monthly decision circulars.
 The Secretary of the Treasury trans mitted to Congress deficiency estimate, sub mitted by the Secretary of the Interior, to meet llsses sustained by Colorow and other Ute h. dians last summer by reason of being hastily driven from Garfield county, Colorado, by the civil and military authorities of that State The Secretary of the Interior says that tho claims aggregate S30, 925 after deducting SIPS. the value of forty-five sheep subsequently restored to Calorow. The Commissioner of In- dian Affairs recommends that these claims be presented to the Governor of the State of Col orado, with request of such action as will se- cure their payment by the proper State or county authorities. The Secretary says that this course is perhaps 8 proper proceeding to take, but 1t does not give promise of such speedy settlement as is demanded by the dis turbed condition of the Ute Indians, justice to the individual claimants, and the good of the service. Congress is therefore requested to ap- propriate sum sufficient to bear the claims, and to direct what, if any, proceedings shall be taken to secure reimbursement from the State of Colorado.
 MT. Coke, of Texas, took the floor in the Senate in opposition to the Blair Education bill He said that the passage of the bill would be the longest stride ever taken since the Constitution was adopted toward centrali- Zation and consolidated paternal government. Since 1880, he said, the m st marked feature of the advancement of the South was the growth of her common schools. They were to-day under the influence of public senti- nent keenly alive to their importance, and it was safe to say that so far as lliteracy in the South is curable it is decreasing under the bcneticent influence of an improved system of public schools.

RUN BY ELECTRICITY.
A Successful Experiment. on a Sho
 Electric Road.

X trial trip was made at Easton, Pa., on the Lafayette Traction Company's electric road, built by the Electric Safety Company of New York and run by the Daft system. Tho line is little short of mile, and extends from the lower portion of the city up steep hill to the northern boundary line. The contract cost complete was Sl8.O0O. Heavy steel rails are used. For portion of tho distance the line skirts the side of the road and the overhead wires which conduct the currents of electricity are suspended from short arms leading out from upright poles. Where the track takes the centre of the street the wires are suspended by means of other wires stretched across the street and secured by poles on each side. The chief interest to the electrical world in this road is the steep grade to be overcome and the question whether electricity could carry a car up the grade, which is g per cent. for dis tance of 1, POO feet. That is there is a rise of feet in every 100. It would be impracticable for horse cars to be pulled up this grade.
 The test was entirely satisfactory, as the cars, flied with all who could get inside or hang on, went up the grade with ease, though but wo-thirds of the power was employed. The cars seat l2 people. A score can sit and stand. The test was made all the more severe by stopping the car on the grade and starting it again. This was done with case with the car heavily loaded. Some anxiety was felt abont tho car descending this steep decline, but it was easily held by the brake, and it was shown that the electric current could be brought into lIsc to assist ill controlling the car in the descent. This grade is the longest and most severe of any in existence.

The Catholic University,

Bishop Keane of Richmond reached this city to-day, says Baltimore despatch, and Bishop Ireland, from St. Paul, is expected to- night. They will meet with Cardinal Gibbons to confer upon the building of the Catholic University at Washington. This evening Bis hop keane who is President of the proposed University, addressed a meeting of the clergy and laymen on the objects and purposes of the University and explained the plans for it's &C., compishment. Tomorrow Bishop Keane ex- poets to go to Washington with the architect to select the site for the theological building, upon which work will begin as soon as the spring opens. After the conferences tonight and tomorrow subscriptions will Dc solicited in Baltimore, and after Q week or two snbscrp- tions will be asked in Washington. The object is to gather much money as possible before the first structure is begun, that there may be no delay in the work. It is thought several millions of dollars will be required for the com. pietion of the university.
