BALTIMORE, Feb. 2S.-When Presi-
dent James p. Foster called the con-
vention of the National League of re-
publican clubs to order shortly after
noon to-day there was a goodly attend
ance Of delegates, and Ford's opera
house presented a gala appearance.
The opera house was deliberately dec
Grated with national colors and the
fronts of the two galleries were hung
with gonfalons, each bearing the coat
of arms of a state, those of the newly
admitted states being conspicuous. The
galleries and boxes were filled with
lockers on. while the main floor was re-
served for delegates and alternates.
The gavel fell at 1885 p. M, and the
convention was opened with short
prayer by Rev. Alex 7. PrOudfit, who
invoked divine blessing on the Outgo-
ing, as we'll as the incoming president
of the United States. President Foster
briefly recited the reason for the
! holding of the convention at
this time and congratulated
the league on the result of its work
last fall. He spoke of the rapid growth
of the league since its organization and

PiggOtt's whereabouts Parnsn viii

Resist The Argument of The Times.
LONDON, Feb. 27,-It is believed that
Piggot posted letter to Mr.. shannon
at the railroad station in Paris and
then proceeded for either Spain or
Switzerland. 1t appears that Piggott
obtained on Monday, from Solerby's
book mart a check for twenty-five
pounds in payment for a number Of
rare books. Piggott had the check
afternoon. The last tine he was seen
he was walking on Fleet street.
An Englishman having the appear
ance of PiggOtt. but who gave no name
arrived at the hotel De DeuX MondeS,
of Paris, at o'clock on Tuesday morn
ing. After breakfasting he wrote
brief nute in the hotel and enclosed 1t
with other papers in an envelope upon
which he wrote London address. He
left again between and 8 O'Clock.
A crowd of friends besieged Mr.. Par
nell in the lobby of the house OF COM
mons to-day. Sir w. S. Baatlett, con-
sentative, shook hands with Mr.. Par
nell.
Mr.. Parnell has yet come to no def
mite decision regarding his future &C
| tion but he is determined to follow Sir
Charles Russell's conspiracy sugges-
ton.
1t is calculated that seventy lives
were lost in the recent gale on the
North sea.
A dispatch from Paris this evening
says that Piggott is not there.
In connection with Mr.. Parnell's ap-
plicatiOn to the Dublin courts for per-
mission to bring suit against the Times
| for libel, that paper has instructed
it's solicitors to oppose the grant
/ ing of a writ on the ground that
a similar action brought by
Mr.. Parnell in the Edinburg courts was
dismissed and that the trial would in
/ terfere with the commissions investiga-
tion. Mr.. Parnell's legal advisers will
strongly resist the argument Of the

ST.. GEORGE, Ont, Feb. 2s.-The. st.

about O'Clock last evening, went
through bridge just east of this sta

dropped through the bridge and stood
on end against pier, a passenger car
in front OF it having stripped the ties
from the section that collapsed.
Eight or ten persons were killed and
about thirty wounded persons were
taken out of the cars.
The dining room car contained about
seven persons besides the walters.
Supper had just been announced and
in q few minutes the car would have
been filed and all must have persisted.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
st. GEORGE, Ont, Feb. 2s.-The
bridge through which the st. Louis ex-
press crashed last evening is sixty feet
high and is a substantial iron structure
with massive stone piers. To avoid
even the possibility of an accident it
was over hauled week or so ago. The
accident was caused by a broken
wheel. The heavy dining Car broke
through the iron trestle work only af-
ter the ties and other woodwork had
been stripped off by the car ahead.
The dining car, being constructed
mostly of iron, it was almost impossi-
BILE to force an entrance into it by
the use of axes and saws. 1t
fell on its end and the passengers were
thrown 10 the bottom among a mass of
broken tables and dishes. Upon the
top of all this fell the cooking furnace,
in full running order. The danger of
fire was imminent, but luckily the first
thought of the rescuers was to prevent
this still worse horror from Detailing
the poor victims crushed beneath the
mass of debris. Beneath all one man
lay calling for help. When taken out
he was found to be very slightly in
jured. The shrieks OF a lady near him
were heartrending and she died before
they could get her out. Two men were
sitting together engaged in conversa-
tiOn when the crash came; one was in
stantly killed and the othsr was res
cued, badly but not hOpelessly injured.

A VICTIM OF CONSPIRACY

LONDON, Feb. 2S.-The Times yester-
day. in its leading editorial, quotes in
full the apology rendered by Attorney
General Webster before the Parnell
commission for the publication of the
forged letters, and continues:
We desire to endorse as appropriate
every word of the foregoing statement.
1t is our wish, as it is our duty. to do
so. Moreover Mr.. Parnell. having in
the witness box stated that the letters
were forgeries> we accept in every re-
spect the truth of that statement. In
these circumstances we deem it right
to express our regret most fully and
sincerely at having beed induced to
publish the letters as Mir. Parnelfs, or
to use them in evidence against him.
This expression of regret includes also
the letters falsely attributed to Mr..
Egan, Mr.. Davitt and Mr.. Oakley. 1t
| is scarcely fitting now TO enter into the
| circumstances under which We received
| them. We are bound, however, 70
point out that Piggott was not the pei
son with whom we communicated.
Moreover, we must add that We firmly
believed that the letters were genuine
until the disclosures made by Piggott
ON crosse-xamination. 1t must be- evil
dent to all reasonable persons that If a
| conspiracy existed the Times was vic
timized by, and not a party to it. Err
rOrs in judgment may have been COM
mitted, and for them the penalty must
be paid. 1t must be clearly understood
| that whatever Is done is altogether on
our own motion and responsibility, and
in the public interest alone. This
withdrawal, of course, refers exclusive
ly TO the letters obtained from Piggott,
