AN AWFUL RIDE TO DEATH.

The Cables or an Incline Plane Road
ut Cincinnati Break-A Car Crashes
Down the slope Carrying Five of It's
Occupants to Etern1ty-Four Others
Horribly wounded.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 15.-Mount Auburn In
cline plane was the scene of horrible acci-
dent to-day at about noon. The incline lies
at the head Of Main street and reaches to q
height Of between 250and 800 feet In space
Of perhaps 1900 feet or less. Two cars are
employed ,one on each track. They are drawn
by two steel wire cables that are wound up
on& drum at the top Of the hill by an engine
located there. Nine passengers had entered
the car at the foot of the plane and number
were on the other car at the top. The passage
Of the ascending Car was all right until It had
reached the top, when the faithful engineer
found that the machinery would not respond
and that he could not stop the engine.
Only one result was possible. The car
was arrested by the strong bumper which
stops Its progress, and as the engine con-
tinued all its force was expended on the two
cables and they snapped like thread under
its enormous power. Then the car with Its
inmates locked within began the descent of
that frightful slope. The crash at the foot
Of the plane was frightful. The iron gate
that formed the lower end Of the truck on
which the car rested was thrown sixty feet
down the street. The top of the car was ly-
ing almost as far away in the gutter, The
truck itself and the floor and seats of the car
formed a shapeless wreck mingled with the
bleeding and mangled bodies of nine pas
sengers.
Judge w. NJ. Dickinson was too old to
escape from such a terrible shock, and he
was one of the first of the wounded to die.
He is a we'll known attorney retired for a
number of years. He was warm personal
friend of President Lincoln. The list of the
dead now stands: Judge W. M. Dickinson,
Mrs. Caleb Ives, Miss Lillian Oskamp,
Michael Kneiss, Joseph Hochstetter. The
wounded are: Charles McFadden, both legs
broken; Joseph McFadden, cut on sides and
various portions of body and internally in-
jured; Mrs. Hochstetter, cut and internally
injured; Mrs. Joseph McFadden. The
wounded were taken to the Cincinnati hos
pital.

WASHINGTON NOTES.

The Baltimore VIII Have Another
Trial-SIr Julian Pauncefote the
British Minister Arrives.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Secretary Tracy
has notified Messrs. Oramp, contractors of
the Baltimore, that the vessel may have
another trial An order has been sent to
San Francisco from the navy department re-
converting the board which superintendent
the recent official trial of the Charleston. In
it's report upon the trial the board, after stat
ing that the vessel had been constructed in
accordance with the contract, said that GER
tain changes and Improvements ought to be
made. This ambiguity Secretary Tracy
wants the board to explain. The order re-
converting the board does not contemplate
another trial of the Charleston.
Sir Julian Paunceforte, the British minis
ter, his wife and four daughters, arrived to-
day. Sir Julian Pauncefote said this evening
that he expected within two or three weeks
to call upon Secretary Blaine, when he would
breach the Canadian fisheries and Behring's
sea questions, which were in dispute be-
tween the two countries. His previous visit,
he said, had been such trying one that he
had not communicated with the American
State department with regard to the diplo-
matte differences between the two countries,
but he was now prepared to do so. He
would not, of course, give any indication OF
the desires of his government in these
matters.

from ex-President Cleveland was read:
New YORK, Oct. II, 1889.
Hon. Chauncey F. Black,
My Dear Sir: am sorry that shall not
be able to be In Philadelphia at the general
assembly of the Democratic societies of
Pennsylvania on the 10Th and can not there
fore attend the meeting which will follow
that assembly. My estimate of the value of
these Democratic societies as agents for the
instruction of the people upon political
topics and for the accomplishment of legiti-
mate political work ia well known aud there
never was time when In the interest of
good government and national prosperity
they were more needed. The condition
Of political affairs are such that the
attention of all true Democrats should be
directed by the enforcement of the distinctive
principles of the party, and In my opinion
this Is no time for the search after makeshifts
and temporary expedients. We as party
are fairly enlisted in the cause of the people
and patriotism. Duty and party success re-
quire that We should be consistent and stead
FAST All personal and selfish aims should be
subordinated confidently expect that in
the work we have in hand our Democratic
societies will exhibit an efficiency which will
at heart the welfare and prosperity of the
American people.

The scene which followed the reading Of
ex-President Cleveland's letter was almost
beyond description. The delegates cheered
until they could cheer no more by reason o.
exhaustion. The enthusiasm was OF the Wild

at State gathering. A brief letter from
Hon. s. ]. Randall, wishing the convention
success and urging the thorough organization
of the party in the State, was also read.
