JACKSONVILLE, FLA. April t5.-Peter
Peas, an old and unoffending colored fid-
dler, was shot at Hilliaris yesterday, and
brought into town this morning. DR.. Center

tered the left spinal column, touching the
spinal nerves, and producing paralysis OF
the lower limbs, from which he can hardly
recover. Two boys who attempted to muir
der him were carried TO Fernandina and
jailed.

PASSENGERS IN PERIL.
An Iron Horse Scrapes the Side of a
Flying Express.

PHILADELPHIA, April 15-While the
New York and Washington express, south
bound, was passing over the elevated road
OF the Pennsylvania road shortly before
$3.50 o'clock this morning it collided with
heavy passenger locomotive at Thirtieth
street. The express train consisted of a
baggage car and ten coaches, including two
vestlbule cars. Four cars were badly
wrecked and toppled over on their sides.
Seventeen persons are known to have been
injured, including John Huber, the engi-
neer of single locomotive No. 922, living at
Bordentown. His left leg was broken and
he was bruised about the head and shoul-
ders.
WHERE THE BLAME LIES.
The express train haG the right of way
and is usually followed on every morning
by an empty locomotive. This morning it
appears that Engineer Huber had endeav-
ored to reach the inbound track before the
express tram. Evidently he saw the white
light, ana imagining that the New York
train had already gone by. believed all was
clear. When the junction of the tracks was
reached the Southern express dashed past,
and Huber's engine shot up against the
swlft-running train. The engine and cars
rubbed each other with a grinding, crush
lng,. tearing sound, and then toppled over
vi oHo duJOIilluS tracks III opposite Qlfec-
uons. The locomotive of the express train,
as soon as the other engine crashed into the
baggage car, broke loose and shot on ahead.
WILD EXCITEMENT.
The greatest excitement existed among
the passengers of the first three coaches
when the collision occurred. The lights in
one or two of the cars went out, which
added to the terrors of the accident Those
passengers fortunate enough to be in the
cars which escaped disaster swarmed from
their beI tbs, and stood about the crushed
and splintered coaches.
Baggagemaster Heyney had thrilling
experience which might have resulted in
his death. When the car toppled over
lot of theatrical scenery fell upon him and
hurled him against the side of the car. To
add to the horror of his situation the stove
had broken from its attachments and red
hot Goals lay around him. Two bags of
second-class mail matter for Lancaster
caught fire and were destroyed Heyney
lay beneath the heavy scenery unable to
extricaJe himself, while the fire drew closer
and closer His cries for help were fortu-
nately heard in time. A hole was cut
through the root and the baggagemaster
was rescued from his perilous position. The
Southern mail, of which there were four or
five pouches, escaped injury. There was
practically no delay in travel.

Causes Coughing.

S%SSS OOAS A@ALS'
BERLIN, April 15.-The Emperor re-
manned in bed until l o'clock to-day. The
irritation produced by the canula caused

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Representative

people of my State want me to serve them
i'll the Senate they will send me there
They know how to do it without any help
or candidature from me; and to tell you
the truth frankly | believe they will send
me to the Senate" Mr. Oates is perfectly
satisfied with the present status Of the direct
tax bill. He says that when it comes up in
December, as agreed upon, he will make it
difficult to pass it without the addition of
the cotton tax.
IT WAS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
"The cotton tax" said he, twas uncon-
stitutional and it was within an ace of
being SO decided by the Supreme Court of
the United States. When the subject was
considered by that court the Justices stood
four to four. Chief Justice Chase was
absent sick, and there is good reason to be-
lieve that if he had been in court he would
have made the fifth against the constitu-
tionality Of the act imposing the tax Rep
resentative Herbert, of Alabama, has
in his possession now letter
in which Mr.. Hilliard, who was at one time
Minister to Brazil, says he heard Chief
Justice Chase afterward ex press the opinion
