of interest about the falls. The day was

JUMPED THE TRACK.
New Jersey Wreck-MfraculOus
Escape of the Passengers.

RAILWAY, N. j., October 13.-The fast
Philadelphia express train, on the
Pennsylvania railroad, passed the main
depot here this morning four minutes
late, running at the rate of sixty miles
an hour. The engine, just as it reached
the east end of the long bridge, east of
Main street, jumped the track, and was
followed by five cars. The train ran
along the ties for 200 feet, when the
couplings broke between the cars, and
each Car took a shoot in a different
direction, tearing up the rails and ties
and digging into the stone ballast of the
!oadbed. The passengers we're badly
frightened and shaken up, but the only
persons injured were two ladies cut by
flying glass.

THE attempt of our friends OF the Re-
publican press to exalt the horn of Mr..
James G. Blaine, Mr.. Harrison's Score.
tsry of State, on the strength of the
assembling in this country of lot of
gentlemen from Central and South
America, who are accepting our I'M
stinted hospitality, to be paid for by Law
ish warrants on the Treasury of the
United States, does not seem to evoke a
very responsive chord amongst the tax
payers. The proposition of a thirty days.
jaunt Of foreigners, whose accounts were
to be handed in to the Auditors of the
Treasury to be duly adjusted, would have
killed any American statesman from
Henry Clay to William H. Seward. But
we are assured by our Republican con-
freres that the thing is a great achieve
ment of craftsmanship. Meanwhile the
organization of clubs to reduce the war
tariff goes on with gratifying celer-
ity even in Pennsylvania. We
find in the York Gazette, the per,
sonal and party organ of Hon.
Chauncey F. Black, elected Lieutenant
Governor on the same ticket with Cover
nor Pattison, the following grouping Of
the movement in the keystone State:
The movement toward the organize
ton of Democratic societies. not only in
Pennsylvania, but in almost every State
in the Union, which, within the last few
weeks, has become so marked and strong,
is an indication of the resistless tide
within the Democratic party toward
tariff reform, and the support and the
continued support of the Democratic
principles involved in the last campaign
as represented by President Cleveland
In New Jersey, New York and Pennsyl-
vania, State conventions of Democratic
clubs and Democratic societies are to
be held during the present month.
In each of those States delegates are
being rapidly elected, and the spirit
which prevails is most extraordinary
considering that this year there are nc
elections which effect the tariff question
one way or the other. The same i'm
petus carried over to next year, when
the new Congress is to be chosen, would
make it overwhelmingly Democratic.
1t is no answer to this strong and re-
sistless movement to say that the new
States have gone Republican. 1t is the
sentiment in such commonwealth as
New York, Indiana. Now Jersey, Cali
fornia, Ohio, Illinois and Wisconsin
which will determine the result of the
next Presidential election, and the issue
as to whether we shall continue to groan
under war tariff and Republican mis-
rule. The indications are that all the
States named will join the solid South in
a splendid and victorious Democratic
solidarity which will redeem the country.

MARINE HOSPITAL SERVICE.
Features of the SurgeOn-Genera
Annual Report.

Annual Report.
WASHINGTON, October 13.-The annual
report of Surgeon General Hamilton OF
thu Marine Hospital Service, comprises
an octave volume OF more that four hun :
dred pages, and shows that the steady
increase which has marked the relief
work OF the service for many years, still
continues, and during the past fiscal
year nearly fifty thousand seaman were
treated at the different hospitals and
relief stations throughout the United
States.
A great deal Of space in the report is
devoted to yellow fever. An article on
Diagnosis of yellow fever" by Surgeon
Guiteras, calls special OF ention to the
symptoms which appear early in the
disease, and which will be, no doubt, Of
great value in any future outbreak of
fever, clearing up the uncertainty which
always has attended the arrival at a
definite conclusion.
Surgeon Hutton, who was in command
of Camp Perry, gives an interesting
sketch OF the establishment and conduct
of this, the fret camp of detention and
observation known in the history of the
epidemic. The establishment of the
camp was en- experiment, but fully justi-
fed the most sanguine expectations.
Surgeon Hutton also contributes an
article on the United States Inspection
service, which explains the measures
taken to prevent the spread Of fever to
other parts Of the country. Several other
Surgeons contribute interesting articles
on the fever at different points.
DR.. Sternberg, of tie army, contributes
a voluminous paper, giving his investi-
cations of the methods adopted ia Mex
leo and Brazil for the prevention OF vel
low fever by incubation. The result of
his investigation is that the method is
not protective, and is therefore value.

A New Style of Cars.

The Northern Pacific has just received
twenty new colonist sleepers from Bar
ney. Smith 4 Co. that are models Of beau
ty, convenience and comfort, and contain
many Improvements over the ordinary
colonist sleeper. or so-called tourist car,
generally in use.
Each car has fourteen sections will,
gentlemen's toilet room in one end, and
the ladies' room supplied with marble
topped wasl'stand and force pump, in the
other. In one end of the car is Baker
lircproof heater, which heats the car by
means of hot water conducted through
pipes. III the opposite end of the car is
n cooking range surrounded by good
kitchen facilities. Opposite this range is
twenty gallon cooler for drinking water,
also large tank holding seventy gallons
of water for general use.
These cars are finished in natural
woods,-ash. maple and butternut,-
beautifully polished, and ut night are
lighted up with eight Acme lamps exact
ly similar to those of use OIL Pullman
sleepers. The sections are divided by
sliding head-boards, ctlecting a privacy
not possible in the present style of cars
where the sections are separated by Il
wire netting. An ingenious arrangement
of the seats enables them TO be extended
flat or with head rests when prepared
for bedding, and under each seat is Il box
in which can be stored bedding or small
baggage. In each section there is pro-
vided movable table similar to those
in usein Pullman cars. which is extreme.
ly convenient for many purposes. All
cars are provided with curtain rods.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Northern Pacific employs porter to look
after these sleepers, all holders of second
class Montana and Pacific coat tickets
are allowed to use them free Of charge.
Tho Northern Pacific has greater num-
Der Of these sleepers in service then any
other transcontinental line, their total
equipment now amounting to G3 cars. 1t
is clear that in providing for the comfort
OF the travelling public, the Northern
Pacific. with its new vcstibulcd dining
and sleeping cars and superior acconn.o.
dations for second class passengers, leads
all its competitors.
