The Wrecked Horse Train.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 10.-The remnant
ofthe wrecked Wabash horse train arrived
at the unloading place, near the race course
across the river at 10 o'clock this morning.
In the caboose next to the last car in the

The stable most affected by the wreck was
that of f. J. Kellar of Cythinia, KY, who,
together with his son, perished. They had
five horses, and everyone of them were
killed.

inspired by cold nights, is still continued
and will be in extreme cases to June Is.
Stands are generally very good in the
Carolinas, with exceptions in low areas
where frost or cool nights have DESTROYED
the plants: In the Mississippi valley and
in Texas heavy rains, local floods and in
undations have caused an unusual amount
of replanting and on the Mississippi and
other great rivers the delay of the planters
till the water receded. In such cases the
seed has been chopped Id the mud and the
plants have appeared promptly, sometimes
in four days from planting. On the At
lantic coast excess of rain has retarded
chopping out and cultivation leaving the
yield somwhat grassy, though recent fine
weather has done much to secure clean cul-
tivation.
In more southern latitudes the plants are
beginning to bloom, while the entire
breadth, as a rule, is late. The plants are
healthy and growing rapidly.

Nero Education.

The illustration given 10y our Raleigh
correspondent yesterday Of what the white
people of North Carolina are doing for the
education Of the negro serves equally well
as an illustration Of what IL being done
throughout the South in the direction in
dicated. Taking the figures Of one county
only il was shown that Of the school fund
the whites paid Ss,746 and the negroes
gl,750, while TO white schools there was APP
portioned $3.50, and to black schools
$j,C2l, while the assessed value of the
property Of the whites Is -, 352, 81 and
OF that OF the blacks only $SS0,5lS. A SINH
lar dispropOrtion is shown as rule IN all
southern counties. 50 much so that there
is growing question among many Of the
wisest, most conservative, most generally
philsu,hropic citizens of the South as to
whether it's continuance upon any ground
whatsoever should longer be permitted.
1t would be manitestly unjust under ordi-
nary circumstances; IL Is question
