WHERE IS THE BLAME?

The Coroner's Jury Exonerates the Rail
road of the Knoxville Disaster.
KNOXVILLE, TENN, August % The
coronet's inquest to-day returned a verdict
completely exonerstipg the Knoxville,
Cumberland Gap and Louisville road from
all responsibility for yesterdays accident
at Big Flat Creek. The cause of the acci-
dent remains unknown, as experts are to-
tally unable to explain it. The road-bed
was examined and found to be in perfect
condition. The wheels we're tested before
the train started, and were just ont of the
shop. A small stone found between the
cross planks and track could have lifted g
flange from the track, but this is considered
improbable. Knoxville he's fever of un-
rest to-day, and business, except at the
newspaper offices, is practically suspended.

Nothing Accomplished For Obvious
Reasons.
Special Telegram to the Register.
CHARLESTON, W. VA, August 23-The
County Commissioners met in special ses-
sion to comply with the last writ of GER
tiOrari issued from the Circuit Court OF
Kanawha in the contested election case of
Fleming against GOh, and McGinnis
against Anderson. There were present j.
s. Cunningham, President of the Court,
who has gained considerable notor.ety in
these cases. aud one other member.
There was no little comment on Judge
Cunningham's conduct during the session
of the court, even amopg his friends, and
the statement was made by those who
seemed to know that the JUICE was not in
a fit condition to preside. When the time
came for Mr. Jackson, counsel
for the Democratic side, TO address
the court, the Presidents face
indicated a storm ahead. Mr.. Jackson WAS
seated OF a table, there being no chairs in
the improvised court room. The punctili-
ous president of the court ordered Mr.
Jackson to stand up. This that gentle
mau did, but he has habit when talking
or speaking, of thrusting his hands in his
trousers pockets and, noticing this, Judge
Cunningham ordered him to remove his
hands, 'as the court must be
treated with respect" A second de-
mand was made for the removal
of the hands but Mr.. Jsckson, who was
surprised, informed his honor that he
would respect the Court, bat regretted
that he could not, nor would not, comply
with its mandate as to bis posture. He
was then asked by the Judge if he were
"afraid to be gentleman" the Judge at
the same time displaying his courage by
rising to his feet and assuming martial
air, remarkiDg: 81 am not afraid" AS
founded al this, Mr.. Jackson turned to
the other members of the court ard
asked TO be allowed to proceed
with his statement, but he received
no reply. He attempted to proceed, but
the President was not to be quleted, and
repeated, "You are afraid to be gentle
man."
Mr.. jackson now showed symptoms of
contemptuous anger. II was evident to
his friends that he had borne about rs
much as his nature would allow. Goff f's
attorney, who could not conceal his disgust
at the conduct of the President, sdroitly
managed to ring down the curtain.
Threats of impeachment were heard on
the streets, last evening. 1t WAS impossi-
bic to keep the matter secret. Two or
three dozen persons were present, and OF
course they talked the matter over with
their friends. 1t is at present the sensa-
tion of Oh rlestOn.

The Oolored Man and Brother is in Revolt Against

Sours on Foraker.

FNDLAY, August 23.-The cOlored
voters Of Ohio are in open revolt against
the Republican party on account Of the
general failure to recognize them in the
distribution of the State and Federal Of
fees. The muttsrings of discomfort have
at last broken into storm which threat
ems to endanger the success of the Repub.
lican ticket this fall.
A convention of the colOred voters of the
State has been called to meet at Xenia to
canvass the situation and to formulate an
ultimatum to be submitted to the Repub-
lican managers, and if this is disregsrded
the colored voters Of Ohio will be organ
lied against the party in power, and the
value Of their support allowed will be de.
tsrmined by the result of the State election
in November
Fer years, they claim, the Republicans
have been feeding them on promises, and
in only one or two instances have these
promises been fulfilled. In this city and
county the colored men hold the balance
of power. The Republican party cannot
succeed without the solid support of the
colored element; and it is for this reason
they have demanded recognition in the di-
vision Of the local and Federal Offices, but
in no instance have their demands been
complied with.

Special Telegram to the Register.
COLUMBUS, o., August 2S.-The enc
mics of Gov. Foraker are daily increasing
and are becoming more open in their at
tacks on him. The latest acquisition to
his already long list Of enemies is Gen. O..
C. Walcutt, of this city. Gen. Walcutt
has been for many years the recognized
leader Of the Republicans in this section,
aud his action will cause a great many old
soldiers, with whom he is in great favor,
TO follow the example of the one whom
they were wont to follow in the late war.
He is so popular in this city that he was
twice elected Mayor, notwithstanding that
this is Democratic town. After a hard
fight, last spring, he succeeded in beipg
nominated for Mayor for third term, but
was defeated at the election by the friends
of Foraker.

Struck the window Glass Men In the West
ern District.
PITTsBURG, August 23.-The trust fever
has seized the window glass manufacturers
and the indications are that gigantic COM
binatiOn of all factories in the Western and
Northern districts will be formed soon.
The entire Northern district, which in
cludes New York and part of Pennsylvania,
is now controlled By a trust, and the West
ern men are being solicited to join it.
Three houses in this district have already
entered the combination, ard 1t is expect
ed that Others will shortly follow. These
factories are the Keystone Works, of Mead
vile, Pa, and the Diamond Works, of
Ravenns, o, and the Bowling Green, o.,
Works.
A week or so ago the trust cent a circu-
lar letter to all manufacturers in the West
ern district, explaining the objects and
workings Of the combination and request
ing them TO consider the matter of enter
ing the trust. The proposal made in the
letter was that The value Of each factory be
appraised and that the owners receive trust
stock to the amount of the sppraisement.
The factory would still continue under the
management OF the original owner, bat
the general business would be conducted
by the managers OF the trust. An agent
Of the Northern Trust was present at the
late window glass meeting at Cleveland,
and it is said secured options on six con-
Germs in the district.
