The express train No. 113 of the Bal.
timore Ohio r. R., which left Phila-
delphia at 9.15, ran into gravel train
standing against orders on the track at
Ogden station, eight miles from
Wilmington, at 935 this morning.
The express, in charge of Conductor
Galpin. came crashing into the rear of
the gravel train, and after pushing 1t
and crushing the empty fats for Fifty
yards, the engines of the express and

land narrowly escaped with their lives.
They saw the gravel train around the
curve about fifty yards away from the
station, too late even to check
the speed in time TO do any good.
The engine of the express, the tender
and six fiat gravel cars were crushed be-
yond repair. The lives of the engineer
and fireman were saved because the en-
glne was overturned and threw them
out safely. No passengers were hurt.
The engineer and fireman of the grave
train remained at the scene to explain
that the engineers watch was 90 minutes
SLOW. The conductor, seemingly having
no excuse, took to the woods.
Inc ladies' In the neighborhood came to
the rescue Of the passengers. bringing
lint, cordials and remedies. but there
were no brakes or bruises, except an in.
significant hurt to the brakeman's thumb.
Mr.. McOaY, wholhas opened a summer
boarding house at Ogden, his two pretty
daughters, Misses Mamie and Lydia. ana
Miss Lille Reynolds, kindly invited the
passengers to lunch.
The accident seems to have resulted
from the gross carelessness of the con.
ductor and engineer of the gravel train.
Their train should have been away from
the station ten minutes before the com
ing Of the express.

Judge Paynter,s Successor

Editor of the EVENING JOURNAL.
SIR: The question as to whom Gov
ernor Biggs will appoint as the successor
to the late Judge Paynter, is still agitat
ing the public mind, and opinions are
freely expressed as to what effect the 40
pointment may have upon the approach
ing campaign. While some assert that
the Democratic party should not and viii
not be held responsible for the acts Oh
the governor, others, and I must say
think the wiser ones, hold the contrary
opinion, and back their opinions by the
frank and bold assertions of some of cur
most active workers, that they will not
support the ticket either BY their
work or their votes, but on the other
hand will exercise their influence to de
feat the ticket If a man like A P. Rob
inson, Esq, who not only possesses all
the requisites Of good judge, but po-
liticf merit besides, is ignored, and some
one ef the other young men mentione ed
who possesses neither, Is appointed in his
stead. These men recognize the fact
that the leaders Of the party, or at least
those of them who have voice In the
present administration, have the power,
and will, in great measure, die
tate the appointment, and we all
recognize the fact that If Mr.. Robin
son is not appointed and some
oae else who does not possess his super
Tor knowlege and fitness is appointed, it
is due to dlsreputable political consider
ations, and none VINO have the good
name of our judiciary and the interests
of the state at heart, can with any self
respect approve 1t. And let me say in
conclusion, that one who has no interest
in the appointment except that he desires
the best appointment; and one who
only knows some of the gentle
men named by reputation, and
certainly knows nothing of their
legal qualifications and fitness for the
Office, except by reputation, says and
confidentially predicts that if Mr.. Robin
son is not appointed, that the Demo-
cratic ticket will suffer humiliatIng de-
feat in Sussex county, and / trust that
more Of your readers will permit the
prediction Of the Hubscriber to pass out
Of their recollection.

THERE is some curiosity to know what
Wyoming will do with female suffrage
She has been admitted into the Union
under somewhat similar circumstances
to those under which Washington was
admitted AS territories, before they
put on the long skirts Of full grown
sister states, each one reveled In the
luxuries Of female suffrage, under
the supposition that 1t was
gentle but sturdy barrier
against the adventurous hordes Of wicked
men who swarm over a new country with
no higher aims than those Of getting
rich very quickly and spending money
very extravagantly But SO soon as
Washington arrived at the dignity Of
statehood she forsook woman suffrage
and knocked that part Of her territorial
franchise folly oat Of the state constitu-
tion II Wyoming follows her example,
the cause Of female suffrage will have
suffered two severe and conclusive re-
lapses from which this country viii not

THE EVENING JOURNAL has been
'chidad mildly and ironically for devoting
so much attention to the Odessa Herald.
The critic said: IF you knew the edi-
tor you would not pay any attention to
the paper. He Is a sort Of preacher. +"
In commenting on the contents Of
paper we do not think Of the greatness
or the insignifcance Of tie writer II
he does not thrust his ugliness and in
competency before US, we try TO think
that he is upright, honest, earnest, com
petent and amlsble. We have no an
tipathies OF resentments against
our contemporaries. We feel humiliated
for general manliness and chagrined for
general intelligence when an editor fails
to maintain high standard Of journals
tic comment on men and things. We
feel sorry for the editor, his paper and
for journalism in general when the
writer descends from logical controversy
TO undignifed and usually foolish per-
sonal comments on the writer. But our
critic labors under the misapprehension
OF hasty reader We paid very little
attention to the Odessa Herald itself,
though, truly, we did consider
that it deserved less We were
really amused at the humorous fail.
zzra of the Herald writar 4o kaan his
promise to write about the matter and
not about the man. Whether his edi-
torial was 200 long for his memory or his
mind was too weak for the tremendous

rectly towards the swamp from whicn
the shot was fred The broken under
brush showed Just where he entered the
swamp and where he stood when he fred.
He was gone just long enough to have
committed the deed, when he re-
turned to Shorts without the gun
and be procured his meat and
started home. He arrived at the house
shortly after his victim was brought in
and when asked what he had done with
the gun he said he had taken IL TO his
brothers. Frank Grinnage and James
Pleassnton quietly slipped out and went
directly to the brothers, but the latter
said Tom had not been there. That gun
has not since been seen.
No one said word to Bedwell of the
suspicion entertained, and at Ford's re-
quest he drove up to Townsend for his
sister Sarah. This sister Yesterday
stated that Bedwell on the homeward
drive sold her that he believed they sus-
pected him OF the shooting, but" said
he, 81 was In Hartley all that morning"
On that same evening, however, while
she sat at her brothers bed
side she heard Bedwell and
farmer neighbor talking in the
yard. What's the news in Hartley.
Tom2" asked the farmer. Il don't
know, replied Bedwell, ''as / haven't
been In Hartley for week. The farmers
find that Bedwell has bought a quantity
of shot within a week, and OF the same
size as that with which Ford was
wounded. There Is no doubt in the
minds Of the neighbors that he has con
templated murder for week and had his
plals laid.
Il did not know had an enemy in the
world" said the wounded man. "But
all the same believe Tom Bedwell did
this. And | have just sent. for Squire
Scotten to Issue a warrant for his arrest
for no ooe here feels safe with him
around"
Ford would not admit that he and
Bedwell had ever quarreled, but Annie.
the girl that Bedwell wanted to marry,
stated that she had heard "Tom often
cursing Uncle Caleb, when uncle wasn't
around"
There ought to be no law for a scoun-
drel Ike this, said old William jackson,
the uncle of the murdered man, as he sat
by the bedside. He ought to be lust
taken out and hung up like dog. "''That's
a fact, was the echo of the assembled
farmers, and this shows the feeling ex
tant In the neighborhood.
In fight at a colored camp meeting in
Ridgely's woods yesterday afternoon
William Doris was shot by George
Smith and received dangerous wound
Smith is in jail
Bedwell was sought for, but could not
be found, and the supposition is that he
heard the arrangements made for bring
ing Squire Scotten to the house
at the place arranged for his ar
rest, and that be has hidden himself in
the very swamp from which he fred
the shot. 1t Is supposed that
he has the gun that wounded .Ferd,
and In addition he Is known
TO have revolver. That he will
not be taken without a fght is
the opinion Of all who know him, but
the farmers will aid the constable in
giving him that fight.
The plan last evening was to surround
the swamp and endeavor to drive
him out, ''and If he does not
surrender, wen shoot him down
like the cowardly dog that he is, ;"
was the sentiment among the young
farmers who have grown up with Caleb
