TEN LIVES LOST.
Wreck OF a Lake shore Train Near
Buffalo.

Wreck OF a Lake shore Train Near
Buffalo.
A Buffalo dispatch of the 9th says:
Train No. II, on the Lake Shore Rail-
road from the west, due in Buffalo at
$40 P. NJ, and running very fast to make
up lost time, broke in two near Ham
burg, about $50 o'clock this evening.
The front part of the train,
consisting of engine, tender, smoker,
and two day-coaches, was quickly
brought to stand-still. The rear half,
composed of five heavy Pullmans, came
on down the grade and crashed into the
second day coach. The Pullman, being
the heavier, lifted the day coach into
the air, and they now lie one on top of
the other. and both having tele-
the day coaches and the Pullman
were full of passengers, and the
loss of life and limb is probably very
high. Ten are reported killed outright.
A wrecking train with a relief party of
surgeons + as lett for the scene of the
accident. The railroad authorities and
employees refused any information
whatever to the press. The Associated
Press reporter went on the train as a
surgeons assistant, as no reporters were
allowed to 90 it known to be such.
AS near as can be ascertained ten
were killed and twenty-five injured.
baggage, four day coaches and four
PulImans. The train parted some miles
west of Hamburg, at the coupling be-
tween the last day coach and the first
sleeper. The first section went on
ahead and was stopped by Conductor
Houghtaling pulling the bellrope.
Most of those in the last day
coach were warned in time to
leave, but those in the first Pullman
had no warning, and the cars met and
telescoped with terrific force. The
Pullman was completely buried be-
meath the other car. An engine was
ME, who had his arm cut off, being
taken along. It was two and a hall
hours before the physicians arrived A
wrecking train preceded the relief train
and the work was begun of extricating
the imprisoned sufferers.i
A great bonfire on the side of the
track throws lurid light upon the ter
rible scene. A passenger says the
coupling was defective, as it broke pre-
cisely in the same place as the train was
leaving Cleveland. At 1890 o'clock a
relief train was made up, and ten of the
most seriously injured were brought to
the Fitch Hospital here.
The bodies already taken out are
stretched in baggage car. ]. Swan,
colored porter, is among the number.
The dead, rs near as can be learned,
are: J. H. Koeger, Rochester; Chas. j.

houses of bad repute, and there
was frequently a strange woman in
his room, and sometimes several of
them at once. Frequently Pope would
spend as much as 500 in a single night
IN champagne for depraved women.
He was fond of gambling, though he
was poor player and constantly lost.
He would bet on anything cleo
1ions. forse-races, dice, anything in
which WAS the element Of chance
or luck. For the last five years Pope

furnished with every luxury. Cham

Pardon Recommend ed by the Ohio

order recommending to President Har-

The action of the board is the result
of long effort on the part of his friends,
and was probably successful from the
fact that the present board will soon be
legislated out of office.

from competition, Yet competition is taught from childhood. The children are expected to excel some one else, in school or at home. We want to drop the idea of competition, at once. We cannot develp and grow, so long as this spirit controls us.
 When the of age light comes it will be a part of education to mould the charac- ter. The main thing is to carry out the whole programme. In the future every child will be educated; every child will find out what it is fitted for in life, Nowadays some children have great deal of what they do not need, while others do not have what they ought It is the duty of every one to preach this gospel of Nationaism. Get light on the subject, get the literature published in it's interest; spread it's truths. At pre- sent, humanity is doing very little for humanity, and what Is being done is shiftless business.
 After reference to the good the Ma. tionalist clubs are doing, Mrs. Diaz re- turned to her subject All sickness comes through sin and ignorance, and just so long as we have these in our midst must we go on building hospi. tals and jails.

When temperance socie ties report q large number of signers tc the pledge, it is thought to be gain There should be no need of temperance pledges. Take father and mother whose principles are high and pure, and start the offspring on the high plane Of hfe--will he have any reason to enter the saloon? Oh no! In the good time coming there will be no need of temper ance reform. What we want to do Is tC bring ought the strength of man to seel l his own welfare-nOt to bring man. welfare to him.

On the Pacific Coast.

We cannot find in the latest issues of the Pacidc Una0n and the Ca!Jmnia Nationalist any statement or expression which may convey the least idea of the effect produced on the Nationalist move ment in California by the split which took place at the recent State Conven- tion. If there is any bitterness between the two factions their respective organs do not betray it. The clubs are holding their regular meetings throughout the State, and no report is given of any discussion or dissension which may have been caused in their midst by the action of their respective delegates. It looks on the surface as if the Nationalists of the Pacific coast had wisely concluded to entirely ignore asa body the antagon- isms which manifested themselves at the Convention, and to go on with their work of propagandism regardless of per sonal sympathies or antipathies. Should the surface truly reflect the condition of affairs at the bottom, time and the cool judgment of the Nationalists of other | states VIII probably Work out recon- ciliation. At any rate, there is appar- ently no question of principle involved and the batteries of the seceders ap- peared to be chiefly, if not exclusively, directed against the strong personality of Brunette G. Haskell. We take no stock in those attacks against Haskell. He is an able man. man of greater experience in the labor movement than any of his opponents, and man, so far as we know, of great earnestness. His reputation in connection with the affairs of the kaweah Colony was some weeks ago wuntonly assailed by the Weekly Star, bigoted single.tax sheet of San Francisco, whose hostility to Socialism and Nationalism is apt to take the mean est form. But we are glad to record that Haskell was fully yindicated and sustained by the colony itself.

At the last meeting of the Oakland Nationalist Club the subject under dis cussion was: "Child Labor" It was ably treated by Mrs, Richardson, who said in part;
 "The beginning of child labor in Eng land whas when machinery was intro duced and it was found child could handle spindles and bring shower of weekly shillings. A commission of in quiry was at last instituted, and not outside the history of the Inquisition has such record been shown of inhu- manity.
 'It was not supposed that such things could exist in America, but in some of the manufacturing States 40 per cent. of the labor performed was done by chli dren, while their earnings represented but 24 per cent. of the total.
 'In California there is not much diff. ference. Look around you. One of our local papers, in referring to the cost ot caring for the unfortunates, says the cure of pauperism will be found in the establishment of mills and factories which afford employment to women and children.
 "The Nationalists suggest that rem edy will be found in making a compuI sory education law, reaching to the agt of F, and extending the school year to twenty five weeks. The adults would not then be brought into competition whith cheap child labor The question is, Shall the children support the par ents or shall the parents be permitted tt support the children "

Among the many club meetings re. ported by the aforesaid papers we notice one held at San Francisco by the Ger man American Club, for the discussion of the eight-hour question. In the course of an able speech r. Ross Martin said:
 "The crime of all the ages is that hu- man labor Is regarded as a Comodity {. that like corn, and oil, and iron, and wine, human beings should rise and fall agreeably with the laws of supply and demand; thas, Frankensteinlike, the creature should meet it's creator in open market and outstrip 1t in the race of life.
 As against this condition of affairs, all the moral precepts from Socrates to Ruskin have been regarded as the re. veries of dreamers and sentimentalistS, whose illusions were safe only so long as they were preserved from contact with the actual world.
 How 1t comes that the better in stinCts of man are thus stitled into pas siveness, while the coarser and grosser steadfastly assert themselves, Is account able only on the theory that man Is, primarily, an animal, stlll governed by the predatory instincts of the order to which he belongs, and that conscience, and consequent moralizlng, is later growth developed in the order of his experience.
 Looking at the question from this | point of view, the labor movement is prominently, moral movement; the first fruits of an educated public con. science; the random guns from the bat. teries of growing morality that is shortly to prove itself the fittest to sur, vive in an age that has belted the planet with ribs of steel, cheated the crested
