CENsUB OFFICE


WASHINGTON, D. O., Dec. ], 1880. J
10 he Editor Ofte IateQtOeetr, WNteltg, ", Va.
sIR:-This office desires to secure the
best results possible regarding the
schools otths country with few salient
inquiries.
James II. Blodgett, A. NJ, Of Rock
ford, Illinois, gentleman OF long expelt-
ence in educational work and In public
affairs, has been appointed q special
agent for the collection Of statistics OF
education for the United States.
Public schools arc so related to sys-
TENS Of public record that their statistics
are obtainable through established
methods.
Incorporated private schools have
place In public records.
ParoChial schools generally render
stated reports TO some controlling body.
UninCOrporated private schools form
considerable element OF usefulness
hitherto unmeasured. 1t Is desirable to
gather reports OF the number OF teachers
and pupils in such schools, without
troubling them for the financial state
ments that schools supported by public
funds owe to the x.payers.
Tho enumerators OF population will
report each person who has attended
school within the year, and whether at Q
public or at private school; and, for all
persons ten years Of age and over, those
who eau read or write. This will be
more than has been done heretofore.
Other educational statistics must be
reached by different methods, in which
every one interested may render some
aid.
Any lists OF private schools, no matter
how brief, or names ofsingle schools, no
matter how humble, open In any part Of
the present school year, with the address
OF the principal teacher OF each, will be
OF assistance TO this Office.
Very respectfully,
RoIERr p. PORTER,
Superintendent OF Census.

Until this year coal dues were levied
at the port of London, Free Traders
declared this to be a tax on the poor,
and SO It seemed to be, for It was tax
on home industry, The dues were re-
moved, and at once they went into the
pockets Of the coal dealers, The poor
Britson paysas much for his coal in Lon
don as he paid before,
Two millIons OF dollars in revenue
have been lost, and the poor man Of Lon
don must help to make IL up, The Goa
men can well afford their share, for they
have pocketed all the benefits Of the re
peal. The Free Traders are happy, or a
happy as Free Traders can be, for /
their theory works out in practice
that is not their fault,

The Latrobe Accident.

PITTsBURG, June 26.-The following dis
patch has neen received from Greensburg,
Pa:
The wreck at Latrobe this morning was thrill
ing in the extreme. 1t is probable that from
twenty five to forty lives were lost. Only four
or five bodies have been taken from the wreck.
They We're unknown Engineer Caldwell and
the fireman are still under the wreck The
chances are that the bodies will not be reached
to-day.
Thtrty-one cars went down, and are piled one
upon the other in the water. The conductor of
the freight train states that in all probability
thirty or forty men are still under the wreck,
for as he came out of Derry station about
twenty men who were coming from JOhnStoWn
got of. When he moved out great many
got on again. A carload of lime in the centre of
the train was the last to go down, and was scat
tered over the pile of shattered cars. Then the
debris took fire, and still burning he arms and
legs OF the victims can be seen pTotruding from
the debris. No member of the crew remains to
tell of those who went down. The killed, so
far as known, are: Elmer Caldwell, engineer,
! Manor, Pa. Fritich, fireman, Hughes and
Kelly, Philadelphia, and four unknown tramps.
| The injured are: John a. Browe, Thomas Mil
Ter. James flanagan, John Clarey, Peter Mon
day, John Mullen John Howard, all of Pitts
| burg; John Thomas McKeesport; T. 7. Miller,
PitLsburg: Len While, Eastern Indiana.
4 later dispatch states that more than half of
| the men on the train are rescued and the killed
| will not exceed twelve or fifteen.
| The debris OF the wreck which occurred on the
| Pennsylvania road here this morning is being
rapidly cleared away At o'clock tonight ten
dead bodies had been recovered: those of En-
gineer Caldwell and Fireman George Fritch
| nave not get been found but they are expected
to be reached before long. \ dozen, more or
| less, are injured several OF whom, tits expected
will not recover. 1t is expected that twenty or
| thirty are dead. The water in the creek at the
point where the accident occurred is twelve feet
deep and tbs expected that ten or twelve bodies
are in the bottom of the creek and held there
| by the wreckage. John Fl. Miller, fiagman on
the freight, states that proper signals were
given when the shifter was discovered and En-
ginecr Caldwell answered, but the speed was
too high
Wn1n the Inflated train left Boliyer there vera
about forty workmeu boarded her, but the con
ductor put them of at Derry, but when the train
left there great many boarded her again. -Four
of the injured taken from car stated that there
were others in the car and another box car. It
is stated by one of the rescued that there were
fifteen or twenty men. One or two bodies were
taken from the way-car terribly burned by the
lime which covered the wreck. At Q o'clock to-
night the work of clearing the debris was

| WASHINGTON, June 26.-Congressman
| Martin Foran, of Ohio, who dropped in to
the city yesterday morning, feels very
confident that the Democrats will carry
both the governorship and the legislature
in Ohio next autumn.
There is but one thing that will defeat
us. If, after the county conventions have
been held, it should be demonstrated that
the candidates for the assembly were NOM
mated IN the interests of the money kings,
who will contest among themselves for the
United States senatorship, then enough of
our people will go fishing on election day
to lose US the state.
Calvin S. Brice, who is really Il resident
of New York and can no longer be called
an Ohioan, John X. Mclean, OF the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, who is to al intents and
purposes a citizen of Washington, and L.
b. Holden of the Cleveland Plain Dealer,
none Of these gentlemen have any claim
to the senatorship, except so far as their
money enables them to secure the election
| OF members of the legislature.
IF these gentlemen say that they will
keep their hands off, you think you will
carry the state!"
''There is no doubt OF it, Mr. Foran re
piled 1--WE almost invariably carry the
state in the off years. Does it occur 10 you
that notwithstanding Ohio is Republican
state, that for eighteen years continuously
the Democrats have had one of the two
Senators! First there was Thurman, then
Pendleton, and now Payne. :The conditions
are unusually favorable to the Democrats
success this year as we are united and the
Republicans are not. Foraker will proba-
bly, be nominated at Columbus. He is the
most popular Republican in Ohio with the
masses, but there is some opposition to him,
and this opposition will make itself felt
next November, not by boiling the ticket,
but from apathy
what are the Ohio Democrats saying
about the presidential nomination in 1892! -
Public sentiment on that point has not
crystalized. Cleveland is strong with the
free traders, or rather the extreme low
tariff men, but Hill has the heart of the
masses. His declaration 4 am a Democrat
when the President was showing himself
not to be one, cndeared him in the affec-
lions Of our people. Whitney, also. is
popular. bad rather work for his Homi-
nation than that of any man | know"

A Trinle Railroad Collision.

PITrsBURG, June ga triple collision
of freight trains occurred near Latrobe, on
the Pennsylvania railroad this morning;
Thirty cars were wrecked; seven persons
killed, four of them unknown tramps. At
the hour named freight train west-bound
teft Latrobe and had just reached the briege
fifty yards west, when it collided with an
extra freight,train coming in the opposite di-
rection. Another east-bound freight was
standing on the side on the bridge, and the
wrecked trains crashed against it, causing
one locomotive and number of cars to go
over the embarkment into the creek,
distance of fifty feet. Engineer Caldwell
and his fireman were killed instantly
Their bodies are still in the creek. Brake
man Miller was terribly crushed and will
die. The bodies of four tramps were taken
from the wreck. The loss to the company
will be very heavy.
A dispatch from Greenburg, ten miles
from Latrobe, states that party of thirty
five worlzmen from Johnstown were steal
ing their way from Johnstown when the
accident occurred. The wreck caught
fire from a lime bed and the men were Gre
mated. The story is not credited here and
the Pennsylvania railroad officials know
nothing of it.
