RAILROAD WRECK IN IRELAND.

A Sunday school Excursion Train Wrecked
-Seyenty-tws Passengers Killed and
Many Injured.
DUBLIN, June IA train from Armagh
has been wrecked near that place. Many
children were killed and a number in
jured. The train contained ], 200 persons.
Methodist Sunday school scholars, their
teachers ard relatives. They were going
on an excursion to Warren Point, wat
ering place at the mouth of the Newry
river, in County Down. Seventy bodies
have already been taken from the wreck
and there are others buried under the
debris. Over a hundred of the passen-
gers were injured. The excursion party
left Armagh on two trains. The acct
dent occurred at point where the trains
had TO ascend grade on bank fifty feet
high. The first train assembled the grade
without trouble. The second section at
tempted the ascent, but the weight of the
train proved too great for the engine and
several cars were detached and allowed to
run back toward the level track, but be-
fore they reached it they came in collision
with an ordinary train from Armagh,
which was proceeding at a good rate of
speed. The excursion cars were COM
pletely wrecked. The scene which ensusd
was heartrending Hosts Of volunteers
were soon at hand and the dead and
wounded were taken from the wreck
and carried down the bank Medical
aid was called and q special train
from Belfast brought to the scene
twenty surgeons from that city and a
number of medical men from other places
between Belfast and Armagh. The
disaster is unparalleled in the railroad his
tory Of Ireland, and at Armagh all the
shops were closed yesterday afternoon
and the people were in general mourning
The engineer, fireman and guard Of the
train and traffic managers clerk were
summoned before a magistrate and were
remanded on the charge Of being response
BILE for the accident.
An account of the disaster says the en-
gineer of the second train finding his en-
CINE powerless to pull the train up the
steep grade unlinked several of the cars
with the object of taking the front portion
of the train to the next station and return
ing for the remainder. Heavy stones
were placed behind the wheels of the de-
tached cars to prevent them from slipping,
but the locomotive on restarting gave the
whole train a shunt and displaced the
stones. The result was that the detached
cars began to slip backward down the
grade, their speed gradually increa sing
until they had attained a frightful We
locity. After running four miles they
crushed with terrific force into the third
train at point about mile and half from
Armagh.
The train consisted of fifteen carriages.
The bulk of the children were in the front
portion of the train and only about a
dozen children were killed. The ma ority
of the victims were about twenty years
of age. They were in the last carriage,
which was completely smashed. Many OF
the occupants jumped from the windows
and escaped with slight injuries before
the collision.
All the bodies have now been taken
from the wreck and the total killed has
been found to be Y, of which Ga nave
been identified.

NOTES OF THE DAY.

bSThe country knows General
Harrison to be an honest, conscien-
tious Christian. and the country will
accept his acts if they are satisfactory
to himself as the best he can do. and
that is all that can be expected of any
man.-Cleveland Leader.
Baya No number of public dinners;
no measure of political management;
no cunning political deliverances can
either help or hinder Grover Cleve-
land as candidate for 1892, and it is
simply a waste of worry and effort for
either friends or foes to discuss the
question now.-Philadelp Times

Germany. France and England have
such lines because they substitute them.
The United States has no such lines
because it refuses subsidies. That is
the case in a nutshell. And it is a

our coasts every year.-Chicago Inter

the Democratic party to destroy itself.
1t is, in fact, the earnest desire OF
well-iuformed Republicans that the
Democracy should live long. There
must be an opposition. That is an
accepted condition of our National
life. If the Democratic party should
take itself out of the way, some party
with good sense and hard to beat
might come in its place. Therefore

Tho Hostetter Stoeaach Bitter People
Score Another Point.

In the United States Circuit Court for the
Southern District of New York, Judge Ship
man handed down an opinion q few days
ago in the suit of the owners Of the trade
marks covering Hostetter' Stomach Bitters
against Arnold Theller and Cornell Theller,
the compounders located on Vesey street,
New York City, in which it was decided
that, although the defendants made use OF
their own names on the labels affixed to the
bottles containing bitters prepared by them,
yet as they were evidently designed to imi-
tate the Hostetter labels, they were IN

granted and an accounting Of damages or

1t is the evident intention of the Hostetter
people to protect their valuable trade mark

THE SOUTHERN STATES.


Democratic Detection Which May Lead
to the Party's Disruption.
Maryland. Virginia, West Virginia,
Delaware, North Carolina, Kentucky.
Missouri and Tennessee may all be
classed as doubtful States 1t is prob
able that the votes of all of them will
be counted for the next Democratic
nominee, but il 1ossible that some,
indeed most, of llem, may cast Re
publican majorities too large for sup
preston In all of them the Democrat
ic vote has been in diminution since
1880. Maryland had Democratic
majority of more than Is, 900 in 1880, of
barely 1000 in 1884, of scarcely 5000
in 1888 Virginia gave majority of
A. $50 for Hancock, of 6, 141 for Cleve-
land in his first campaign, and only of
1,541 at the last Presidential election.
West Virginia was Democratic by
m&e than IL. 600 in 1880, by less than
5000 in 1884, and by less than 1000
in 1888. There is decrease of 20, 600
between Missouri's Democratic major
ity of 1880 and that of 1888. Delaware
already has elected Republican Sem
ator. There are cracks in the South
ern solidity; and the cracks must
widen as the years roll by.
The detection of all the States under
notice would leave the remainder of
the Southern tier - the still solid
South-with only eighty-three elect
oral votes. 1t would be utterly i'm
possible for the Democrats to make
gains in the North sufficient to bal
ance the loss of seventy electoral vote.
in its ancient stronghold Even should
Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland
and Delaware, States in which. with q
full and free vote and fair count,
Republican success would seem GER
tain, renounce their old and ruinous
Democratic alliance, the 153 votes of
the "solid South" would be reduced to
1874; the electoral votes OF the whole
country, including the Dakotas, Mon
tana and Washington being Alb.
This, counting the Northern vote as in
1888. would give. the Democratic
strength as:

There are two differences from these
compilations of figures. First, it is
evident that, despite Of the apathy Of
Northern Republicans to the needs
and aspirations of their brethren in
the Southern tier, the ghost of negro
supremacy has been made to walk the
stage too often by the Southern
oligarchs; it no longer terrifies. The
economies are working their rem orse-
less way in the South. Southern
solidity can not endure for any great
length of time. And, second, it is the
bounden duty of the Republican party
in the North to hasten this desirable
disruption. The South should be
flooded with protectionist literature;
its farmers taught the value of home
markets, its laborers the effect of COM
petition upon the price of labor, its
storekeepers the beneficial effects of
high wages upon retail trade. And
the best time to teach is while party
feeling is calm. A campaign of edu-
cation should be in constant progress.
