CINCINNATI. Oct. l5.-The most appalling
accident ever lnuwn ON the inclined plane
railways of this city happened to-day be-
tween - and | o'clock ON the Mount Au-
Main street and reaches height of between
20 and ;AO feet in space of 1000 feet.
Two cars are employed, one on each track
drawn by two steel wire cable wound upon
drum at the top of the hill by an engine
located there. Nine passengers had en-
tered the car nt the foot of the plane and
number We're in the other car ut the top.
The passage of the ascending car was all
right until il reached the top. when, 10 his
horror. the engineer found the machinery
would not respond, and he could not stop
the engine. Only one result was possible.
The car was arrested by stronger bumper
which stopped its progress. and as the
engine continued all its force was expended
ON the two cables, which snapped like wrap
ping thread. Then the car, with its nine
inmates locked within, began its descent OF
that friRhtful slope. The crash at the foot
of the plane was frightful. The iron gate
that formed the lower end Of the track, ON
which car rested, was thrown sixty feet
down the street, and the top of the car
almost M fur in the gutter.
The truck itself and floor and seats OF
the car formed shapeless wreck mingled
with the bleeding and mangled bodies Of
the passengers. Az soon as IL could be done
the dead were taken 10 the morgue 10 await
full identification. The wounded were car
ried 10 the nearest place where AN examina.
tion could be made.

and wounded:

When the legislature convened the
fear was expressed that owing to the
number OF Inexperienced men IN both
branches Of It there would be bad legis-
la5zon, By the way, the editor Of this pa
per has been erOnsOuslY quoted as saying.
early IN the session, that nothing would
be done. He did, however, like a great
many others, express the belief that bust
ness would be much retarded by the fact
Of their being so few old members In it.
This fear was well grounded, and time
showed that it was q safe prediction.
The inexperience OF members was shown
at an early day, IN efforts TO suspend the
rules in order to advance bills on the cal
endRr and discussions over points Of order
which the merest tyro in parliamentary
law could decide without arguments.
We doubt If there is a single member Of
either house who viii not now agree that
the suspension Of rules to advance q par
ticulsr bill, OF to carry out particular
project, retsrds legislation and, as a rule,
retaTds the passage Of the bill or resoIU-
ton intended to be advanced. They
learned this before the final adjourn
ment.
There is another great evil which has
grown up OF late years in the proceed
ings Of both houses. There was very
little of it before 1868, but it has increasd
to an alarming extent, and has been pro-
Life OF much trouble during the last ses-
sion. We refer TO the practice OF putting
measures on third reading, or final pas
sage, Subject to amendment and de-
bate"
We believe every member viii now
agree with us, that such q thing should
never be done except in matters Of great
Importance in the closing hours of the
session. There is no need Of arguments
to show that all measures should be per-
fected In committee of the whole, where
there is an opportunity TO discuss every
point without being restricted to the
rules which govern the house or senate
when in ordinary session, with the
speaker and presiding officer Of the senate
IN the chairs.
But the session was brought to an end,
| Notwithstanding the attempt to override
rules, in a manner very creditabls to it.
4 large amount Of business was trans
acted, and, in the main, finished up very
we'll. No very bad mes s1res we're passed,
and most Of the good measures, those
which ought to have been, were finally
pushed through.
The body as a whole was, We believe,
the abIest and the most honest and up
right Of any which has convened for
number of years. There were in it many
men for the first time, who will be heard
| from in the management OF the affairs OF
the state in the future.
We cannot close without saying that
there was ono thing left TndOns that
should have been passed upon. We re-
fer to the Price raid claims. This is a
matter which not only this, but many
preceding legislatures have ignored, and
We believe wrongfully. The time will
Gene when this class of claims will be
taken up and those that are just be al
lowed.
But we did not start out to condemn.
but rather to approve. There have not
been many sessions of a legislature In
Kansas about which SO much good and
so little bad can be said.-F. p. BGber

CAPITAL NOTES.

Topeka Journal: An old soldiers re-
union is in progress in the halls of the
federal building near the pension de-
partment. No particular regiment OF
company is meeting there but hundreds
of old veterans from as many companies
are on hand awaiting their turn to draw
the quarterly pension from the United
States surplus. Many have to wait for
an hour or more and during the time
they tell old war stories and remiDiscen-
ces, and how and when they lost a leg,
an arm or an eye. Many acquaintances
are made and followed by explanations
which only renew old companionship,
but for the most part these ara the same
men that have marched up the stairs of
the government building ever since the
Office was established here. The man
who has Just secured his pension is
amusing. He takes his money with an
eagerness which is displayed on every
feature and which causes the veterans
who surround him to smile. The men
are not the only ones who are permitted
to draw quarterly payment from this
Office for yesterday a long line of sol
diers' widows we're given preference end
waited on IN advance Of the men. Two
million, one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars will be consumed in paying the
demands for this quarter on the Topeka
Office alone, the greater part Of which, Of
course, is sent out by mail in vouchers.
A very important notice has been re-
ceived from S. NJ. StOcksleger, commits
sioner of the general land Office, annOunc-
ing that by executive orders, dated Feb
ruary 10, 1889, the president of the
United States has, pursuant to law, di.
rscted that the land Offices now located
at Concordia, Independence and Wichita
be discontinued and the records and
archives thereof transferred to and con-
sOIidated with the land Office at Topeka.
The changes above mentioned have al
ready. bsen carried into effect. This
means that there was little or no bust
ness left to be transacted by the outside
Offices and that the bulk OF the public
lands IN this state have been disposed Of.
Governor Humphrey has appointed
Jacob n. Bslderston as Judge of the
court Of common pleas, which the legis-
lsture provided Tor Sedgwick county
he also appointed Senator Francis @.
Price, Of Ashland. to be judge Of the
new thirty first district.
Articles Of incorporation Of the Tope-
ka, Westmoreland and MarysviiIe rail-
road company have been filed with the
secretary of state. The capital stock is
