Fatal Railroad Accident.

NEW YORK, Sept. % "A disastrous rail.
road accident occurred last night at Pala,ine
bridge, on the New York Central Railroad
The engine of the first section of train No. 5
broke her cylinder head about two miles
east of the bridge and stopped, when the
second section of the sane train ran Into
| the first. In the Michigan Central private
| car in the 6rst section was the president OF
the Michigan Central railroad, Mr.. Ledyard.
He escaped unipjured. President NJ. E. In.
gals, of the Big Four Railroad, wash pri-
Vate car the third from the rear. He es-
capped unhurt but Mrs. IogalIa received
slight Injuries about the limbs. TIE porter
of the car and three persons In the Buffalo
sleeper were killed. Four persons were kill
ed and ten Injured. Supt. Toucey started to
the scene of the wreck and will at once as
sumo control of the arrangements for clear
ing the track and seeing that the Injured are
properly cared for. SO far the accounts OF
the disaster continue to be meagre.
The train to which the accident occurred
was the ct. Louis and Chicago express
bound West. The sections generally run
10 minutes apart, which latter order SCENE
to have been disregarded last night. When
the first section reached point opposite
the Brandy wine Rift in the Mohawk river,
the engineer noticed giving out Of the
steam chest of bis engine. He Immediately
stopped, and several passengers state that
the hind brakeman ran back to warn the
second section. 1t was not over FIVE
or six minutes before the crash came.
The engineer of section No 2 says be made
every fort to stop by applying the air
brakes. but they did not seem to work.
The Wagner sleeper, which was telescoped,
was packed with people. Several of them
crawled out OF holes in the top of the car.
In this car was William Manning, of Mar
quette, Mich who few weeks ago was
married to Miss Julia pavls, wealthy and
beautiful young lady. They had passed a
few weeks of the honeymoon in the East
and yesterday started on the train for their
new home. Mr.. Manning was Injured in
ternally and badly dis6gured about the face.
He was removed to the hotel and died soon
after His wife was Injured, though not
fatally. Mr.. Manning was relative of the
late Secretary of the Treasury Manning.

SOME DEMOCRATS seem to be afraid OF the

he has induced some people to believe they

of the portion ofthat money which theGener.

of it will be placed by those agents where,

FEED. DOUGLASS, to carry whom to Nor
folk U. S. vessel was ssnt all the way
from New York to Washington, wrote let
ter to a public meeting in Boston last
week in which he said : "Slavery has left
behind it spirit that still delights in hu.
man blood. Outrage, murder, and assassi-
nation are the inheritance of the freed men
and women of the South. Neither our Gov
eminent nor our civiliz alton seems able to
stop the flow of blood. AS iu the time of
slavery, the Church is silent" And this
letter WIS applsuded by the audience to
which it was read. Townsend, the recorder
of the land Office in the Interior Depart
ment at Washington, another negro, few
DAYS after said: IF the Southern people do
not discontinue their high handed outrages,
the colored people will rise up in their
might and strike the blow for their second
emancipation" These are only samples of
the way prominent officials OF the
United States government talk of the citi.
z,us of one half the country that half too

ALEX ANDRIA..
SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2s.

If THE negroes read newspapers and
could reason upon what they saw therein as
white people do, there would be some use
10 telling them, what every well-informed
white Virginian knows, that Gen. Malone,
before he conceived the idea of pro6ting by
their votes, was the most proscriptive dem
ocrat in Virginia, aad acted upon the idea
that negroes, as voters, had no rights that
white men should respect. But as they
neither read nor think, it isn't worth while
to tell them that Gen. Malone petitoned
the legislature to disfranchise them; that he
bulldozsd them so that the government had
10 send troops to Petersburg to protect them
on election days; that he hived them In
coal mines and kept them there until the
coee of the polls that be sent train loads OF
them to repair imaginary railroad damages
and KILLED" the engines so that they could
not get back in time to vote. and that
he offset their majority with tissue
ballots. Nos foolishly, prejudiced are they
that if they knew all this, and worse, they
would still cast solid vote for him, as they
will for General Chalmers, who massacred
their race by thousands at Fort Pillow. ne
gre was recently heard to say that he had
no conf dence 10 the republican leaders and
knew that they were only after place and
money he had made up his mind thai
when the bulk of the whites 60 one way hi
would go the other, and that he was deter
mined always and under all circumstance
to vote against the whites" There is Meth
err use nor sense in talking to snch people
solid white vote is the only means o
keeping them In the right pace.
