Trains Thrown Down a Mountain.

The West-Dound overland passenger
train on the Atlantic and Pacific Rail
road was in collision on Sunday after
noon with the East-bound passenger
train, near Peach Springs, Arizona, 1o9
miles beyond the Needles. The trains,
drawn by two engines each, met on a
sharp curve on high embankment and
came together with a fearful crash, de-
moishing the engines and throwing
them down bank into a stream; and
carrying three or four cars with them.
One engineer jumped on the wrong side
and fell down a rocky steep so feet. He
was fearfully bruised and internally in
jured. The rest of the trainmen and
passengers escaped serious injury, but
were badly shaken up. A laborer steal
ing a ride on the platform next to the
tender was crushed to death.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Star this

WASHINGTON, April 11.-The Star this
evening prints the following:
"The Presidents policy with relation
TO Southern appointments has been made
clear to Southern office-seekers here, and
there is not a little unayailing discon
tent. He has declared his intention to
select none but men who have the re-
spect of their neighbors and who
are intelligent and capable.
He wants to recognize young men and
progressive men, who can do the party
good and will not act merely as clerks
TO: the party because Of what they can
get out of it. Any distinguished and
capable man, who is Republican in
principle, whether so by ayowal or not,
may be selected for appointment. The
idea is to get rid of self-constituted
leaders. who bring the party into disre-
pute and to let down all the barriers
that keep white protectionists out.
1t is reported that the President spoke
very plainly to a Southern leader" who
called with a delegation lately to see
about the apportionment of the patron
age of his State. The same leader had
been there many times before, and was
assuming to control the patronage OF
his State. "Now," the President is re-
ported as saying, after listening to him
for moment, ''you have been here sew
eral times. and l have heard you. |
know you, Mr.. -, and know Of you
very we'll. do not think you are the
sort of man to distribute the patronage
of that State"

Boulanee s Fair Captive.

One of the cIearest evidences which
the world could possibly have of the
character of General Boulanger is furn-
ished by that gentleman's relations with
the gushing Duchess dues. In and out
of public life he haunts his influence
over her with the most brazen etfrontery.
She must 60 with him when he rides,
accompany him when he walks, or run
after him when he takes to his heels to
escape from danger. A moral move
ment with him as its head may justly
enough excite the smiles of honest men
and women. .-Philacleiphia Enquirer.

not been confirmed:

quay: j. g. X. Pltkin, Minister 70 the Argentine
Republic; Clark E. Carr, Minister to Denmark.

LONDON, December 28,-The fight between
Frank P. Slavin, the white Australian cham
pion, anG Jem Smith, the English champion, at
Bruges, Belgium, this morning, was the most
disgraceful affair in the ,annels Of the prize
ring. It will result in the reputation of Smith
by every decent sport. ard should finally dis
pose OF Baldock from the ring. Slavin was the
victim of the most atrocious foul play from the
start and although he bested Smith from the
commencement the referee was afraid to call
the result anything else than a draw. Smith
was accompanied to the place of meeting by
the worst gang of unhung rufians that ever at
tended prize fight which is saying a great
deal, and there is little doubt that decision in
Slavin's favor would have resulted in wholesale
murder.

During the fight Slavin paid no attention to
the Smith gang, but fought in the gamest man

him: do you call yourselves Engllshmenr

pie Of Niles have not yet recovered from the
shock of the terrible murder enacted

SO lately held happy family was sur

the interior, and if possible. obtaining clew
that would throw some light upon the cause
that induced the fendish act
Personal friends Of Shelar assert that he had
been melancholy for several weeks, but the
predisposing cause is unknown. He had not
the slightest cause to be Jealous or suspect his
wife who was noble woman and devoted
wife and mother. Shelar had been keeping
bad company, and had also lost lately very
heavily at the gaming table. 1t is believed he
became morbidly Jealous, and this, with his

cents. He placed it in his pocket without
opening it, and remarked as he paid for 1t:
This will answer for the purpose want it.
At the same time he was sober and there was
nothing in his appearance indicating that he
was planning the destruction of his family.
Miss Maud Meeker, a sister of Mrs. Shelar, es-
corted Nellie. the oldest child, home from an
entertainment where the little girl had been
one of the fairies. Mrs Shelar came to the
door and said: "CharIie came in early to-
night, and we have been in bed since o'clock"
Miss Meeker went home and that was the last
seen of the family alive.
Coroner Hunt began an inquest which will
not be completed until tomorrow. The funeral
Of the murderer and his victims will be held on
Wednesday. Shelar has u brother, DR.. Shelar,
